Xu Ying's eyes lit up, but she did not choose immediately. She wanted to see whether she would receive any other King's Legacies.
She actually wanted Jiraiya's or Orochimaru's legacy, or even Tobirama Senju's.
However, according to past estimates, Tobirama Senju's legacy required a chakra affinity of at least 250.
She qualified for the other two, but since she had already received Tsunade's legacy, which was on the same level, the other two probably would not choose her.
"I'm fine, but that guy Qi Yuan probably only has one choice!"
A chakra affinity that had only just reached 150 would generally offer only one King's Legacy to choose from.
Xu Ying gazed at Tobirama Senju's statue with longing in her eyes.
The current ruler of Yu Province was an inheritor of Tobirama Senju.
Known as Yu Wang, he was among the very strongest Kings in the Nine Provinces Alliance.
Suddenly, however, Tobirama Senju's statue lit up, making Xu Ying perk up.
"Is this... did I just get incredibly lucky?"
She was ecstatic. Something like this sounded absurd, but it was not impossible.
Then her smile froze. That beam of light was clearly not heading in her direction!
Her gaze shifted toward Qi Yuan, and her eyes widened further and further.
"H-how is this possible?"
Light shone from Tobirama Senju's statue and shot toward Qi Yuan.
But what shocked Xu Ying even more was that over a dozen beams of red light appeared simultaneously, then landed on Qi Yuan!
Red light blazed over Qi Yuan, bathing his entire body in its glow!
"All of them? He actually received every legacy!"
Xu Ying felt as though her entire worldview had been overturned. Even though she came from a King Family Clan, she had never heard of anything so absurd.
"Even Yu Wang, with his chakra affinity of 280 back then, couldn't get every legacy to choose him!"
"Just how high is Qi Yuan's chakra affinity?"
At that moment, over a dozen messages appeared in Qi Yuan's mind.
"Congratulations on receiving Kakashi Hatake's legacy. Please choose whether to accept!" "Congratulations on receiving Shimura Danzō's legacy. Please choose whether to accept!" "Congratulations on receiving Hiruzen Sarutobi's legacy. Please choose whether to accept!" "Congratulations on receiving Jiraiya's legacy. Please choose whether to accept!" ... "Congratulations on receiving Tobirama Senju's legacy. Please choose whether to accept!"
A total of fifteen King's Legacies appeared before Qi Yuan.
If word of this got out, everyone in the Nine Provinces Alliance would be in an uproar!
Xu Ying was too shocked to speak. Only after a long while did she draw in a sharp breath.
"Just what kind of freak is he?"
Xu Ying made up her mind to ask her youngest aunt exactly where Qi Yuan came from once she returned.
All she knew was that a friend of her youngest aunt had asked her aunt to look after Qi Yuan. Xu Ying did not know the specifics.
"My youngest aunt's friend seems to be from Qing Province, but there isn't a King Family Clan surnamed Qi in Qing Province!"
At the same time, Xu Ying resolved to bring Qi Yuan into the Xu Family's camp.
Although the Xu Family was a King Family Clan, it had not produced a Level Seven King in over a hundred years.
This was actually very unfavorable for the Xu Family!
Now, her clansmen were all pinning their hopes on her, and she was under immense pressure!
If she could bring in an ally with a very strong chance of breaking through to King, the Xu Family would undoubtedly gain enormously.
"Which one will this guy choose?"
"It should be Tobirama Senju, right? After all, it's universally acknowledged as the greatest King's Legacy!"
Yet what puzzled her was that Qi Yuan's expression remained calm throughout.
He merely glanced at the legacies around him, then raised his head to look in a particular direction!
Behind Tobirama Senju's statue, a deep red light swirled continuously!
That was the doorway to the Eighth Layer!
Qi Yuan's actions once again caught Xu Ying's attention.
Her eyes widened, and a conjecture surfaced in her mind.
"Does he want to go up to the Eighth Layer?"
Xu Ying's first instinct was to look amused, because no one had ever managed to reach the Eighth Layer in the past three hundred years!
At least, she had never heard of anyone!
Even the astonishingly gifted Yu Wang had been unable to open the doorway to the Eighth Layer.
But then excitement surged within her!
"Since he could draw out every King's Legacy, perhaps he really can reach the Eighth Layer!"
Xu Ying watched Qi Yuan intently. His expression remained calm as he headed toward that deep red doorway!
The closer he drew to the doorway, the brighter the scarlet light grew!
Qi Yuan gently pressed his hand against the deep red doorway.
Xu Ying's tension had reached its peak, as though she, rather than Qi Yuan, were the one pushing the door open!
"If his chakra affinity isn't high enough, he'll be thrown back instantly and suffer a backlash!"
"Can Qi Yuan succeed? Can he create a miracle?"
Time gave her the perfect answer.
In an instant, the deep red doorway began spinning even faster. Then the deep red vanished, and a trace of purple appeared!
Through the purple, the space inside was visible!
It was a cramped space!
"Looks like a chakra affinity of 321 is enough to get in!"
Qi Yuan chuckled, then slowly stepped into the space on the Eighth Layer!
He left Xu Ying alone, her eyes wide.
"Are things about to change?"
Outside, at the entrance to the Planetary Space, many people had already returned.
They were jubilant, having clearly obtained great opportunities inside.
Yet none of them imagined that, at this very moment, someone had actually reached the legendary Eighth Layer of the Inheritance Tower!
The Planetary Space, the Eighth Layer of the Inheritance Tower.
Qi Yuan looked up and found himself in an empty room.
The room seemed extremely cramped, with only six meditation cushions directly in front of Qi Yuan!
The six cushions were arranged unevenly, and there was nothing on them.
"This is the Eighth Layer? It doesn't look like it at all!"
"There's only this one room? Could there be no legacies here?"
Qi Yuan surveyed his surroundings, only to discover that the room was completely sealed.
Never mind an entrance to the ninth floor-there was not even a trace of a King's Legacy.
Just then, however, three spectral figures silently appeared on three of the cushions in front of him!
As those three spectral figures appeared, Qi Yuan seemed to feel three pairs of unusual eyes staring fixedly at him!
"Are those... Sharingan?"
The faces of the three spectral figures were indistinct, but their eyes alone were clearly visible.
Qi Yuan was no stranger to those eyes. They were unmistakably Sharingan!
To be precise, they were Mangekyō Sharingan!
The black tomoe joined together, forming the Mangekyō Sharingan that symbolized the strong!
Qi Yuan shuddered violently, and a sharp gleam appeared in his eyes.
"Just as I thought, the secret of the Sharingan is hidden on the Eighth Layer!"
