Chapter 357: Turning to Ash in the Flick of a Finger

"Is that the legendary Martial Marshal Rank Genius?"

"Based on my years of experience, I can judge that this person is definitely no more than twenty years old. To reach Intermediate Martial Marshal at such an age is truly impressive!"

"Indeed. I was twenty-seven when I broke through to Intermediate Martial Marshal, and it took me another eighteen years to reach Advanced Martial Marshal!"

"It's a pity that even if he is exceptionally gifted and stronger than us, it will take at least a hundred years to reach the Martial Emperor Rank. I'm afraid he won't make it in time for the final great war."

"…"

The crowd discussed in low voices while they continued to Cultivate.

At that moment, someone suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Eh? Look, he's walking away. He didn't even enter the Spirit Gathering Divine Pool to Cultivate!"

"What!?"

"It's true, he's actually leaving directly!"

"Looking at his route and direction, he's heading for… the Training Tower!"

"No way! No matter how good his talent is, he's only at the Martial Marshal Rank. With such weak combat power, he's going to challenge the Training Tower!?"

"Could it be that he's grown used to being arrogant on Blue Star, looking down on everything and thinking he's invincible in the world?"

"Holy crap, I'm going to see if this kid is really going to the Training Tower!"

"Wait, I'm coming too!"

"…"

A commotion broke out in the Spirit Gathering Divine Pool, and eventually, one by one, they left the pool in suspicion and followed Su Lang from a distance.

In a short time, almost all the Martial Artists in the Spirit Gathering Divine Pool had followed him out of curiosity.

"Hmm? So many people are following me?"

Although Su Lang was at the Martial Marshal Rank, his true combat power had already reached the Peak Martial Emperor level. He immediately noticed the Martial Artists following from afar.

However, he ignored those Martial Artists and continued walking on his own.

Soon, a massive white jade tower appeared before him.

This white jade tower had fifteen floors, each a hundred meters high. The entire tower was exceptionally tall, almost like a mountain Peak. Within the enclosed space of the Tatian Stronghold, it was like the Heaven-Supporting Pillar of Mount Buzhou!

"So this is the Training Tower. I wonder how the trials inside are set up."

The corner of Su Lang's mouth curled up as he slowly walked into the main gate of the Training Tower.

This action immediately left the Students following behind dumbfounded.

"Holy crap! This kid actually entered the Training Tower! I thought he was just here for a visit!"

"Heavens, he really doesn't know the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth. A mere Martial Marshal Rank dares to challenge the Training Tower!"

"The first floor of the Training Tower requires an Elementary Martial King to pass. This kid is truly arrogant."

"In my opinion, he'll be running out dejectedly very soon!"

"It's good for him to learn a lesson here and suffer a bit, lest he suffers even more in the future."

"…"

The Students discussed animatedly, unable to help but sneer at Su Lang's behavior.

Meanwhile, Su Lang had already entered the Training Tower, feeling as though he had arrived in a new world.

The first floor of the Training Tower was a hundred meters high and a thousand meters in length and width. It was constructed of white jade on all sides, carved with countless Formations.

In the empty space, wisps of white mist drifted and gathered unpredictably, making the entire environment feel even more profound and secluded.

"Hmm? How exactly do I clear this?"

Su Lang's brow furrowed slightly as he looked around in confusion.

Just then, the Formation patterns on the four walls and the ceiling suddenly burst with light.

Following that, the light condensed into a radiant figure holding an illusory long saber, descending from the sky to attack Su Lang!

"So Formations are used for the trials!"

"It makes sense. Everyone needs to Cultivate; who has the time to stay here and wait for people to come and challenge them?"

"Using Spirit Beasts to guard wouldn't work either. What if they get injured? Anyone would be distressed over their own Spirit Beast…"

With a look of realization, Su Lang raised his right hand and flicked his finger. Endless Green Lotus Dragon Pattern Fire condensed into a giant fire dragon, which swallowed the radiant figure in one gulp.

The radiant figure was instantly turned to ash, completely powerless to resist!

"Buzz!"

The entire first floor of the Training Tower emitted a hum, and the surrounding Formations burst with light once again, condensing into an illusory Teleportation Array.

"So that's the first floor cleared. How simple!"

Su Lang smiled faintly and stepped into the Teleportation Array, immediately vanishing from the spot.

Outside the Training Tower, the Students were waiting for Su Lang to flee with his tail between his legs, so they could surround him and teach him that there is always someone better.

But at that moment, the first floor of the Training Tower suddenly lit up and emitted a humming sound!

Everyone was instantly stunned!
