Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 232 What’s Going On?

Quickly, ten Hours had passed.

Xu Ping’an had reached the Sixth Layer, while others had already reached the teens or even the twenties.

"Look quickly, Song Kaitian has reached the thirty-first layer. My god, a hundred Fifth Rank Demon Beasts!"

"Yeah, it is said that the highest record in the Tower of Hundred Beasts before was only thirty-six layers. Could Song Kaitian break the record?"

"It’s possible, just look at him slaughtering those Demon Beasts with no effort at all."

"Quickly look, Long Zhan has also reached the thirtieth layer, almost catching up to Song Kaitian."

...

The arena was filled with exclamations.

To think that Song Kaitian and the others had reached the thirty-first layer so quickly.

The First Layer, a hundred Fourth Rank, First Layer Realm.

The Second Layer, a hundred Fourth Rank, Second Layer Realm.

The Third Layer, a hundred Fourth Rank, Third Layer Realm.

...

The Tenth Layer, a hundred Fourth Rank at the Ninth Layer’s limit.

The Eleventh Layer, a thousand Fourth Rank, First Layer Realm.

The Twelfth Layer, a thousand Fourth Rank, Second Layer Realm.

...

By the Thirtieth Layer, it was already a thousand Fourth Rank at the Ninth Layer’s limit Demon Beasts.

And at the Thirty-first Layer, it was a hundred Fifth Rank, First Layer.

The pattern continued accordingly.

Therefore, starting from the Third Layer, things became exceedingly dangerous.

The thirty-sixth Layer would be a hundred Fifth Rank, Sixth Layer, an absolutely terrifying force.

Even a peak Fifth Rank Ninth Layer Realm expert might not be able to battle against that.

After all, at Fifth Rank, these Demon Beasts were already very powerful.

Even one could battle an opponent of the same rank, let alone a hundred?

Thus, it was extremely difficult for someone to reach the thirty-sixth layer.

At this moment, even entering the thirty-first layer, Song Kaitian’s speed also slowed down.

"This guy again, slowly grinding away. What on earth does he want to do?" Someone noticed Xu Ping’an and said with an incredulous expression.

"Who knows, at this point, I’m afraid he’s the only one below the tenth layer; anyone without enough points has already been eliminated," someone replied.

Clearly, they had no idea what Xu Ping’an was doing and thought he was just showing off.

Song Lingxue was also anxious.

What is Master doing?

Walking a dog?

Indeed, within the Sixth Layer, Xu Ping’an was indeed walking a dog.

This Sixth Layer’s Demon Beast was the Inferno Hunterhound, not weak at all and extremely ferocious.

However, at this moment, Xu Ping’an was leading these Hunterhounds on a relentless run around the space of the Sixth Layer, occasionally striking and making a Hunterhound howl, but not killing it.

A hundred Hunterhounds chasing after Xu Ping’an made quite the spectacle.

"This young man is interesting. To cultivate, he really will do anything," even the Sovereign of Great Qin was amused.

"To cultivate, does he really have no need for face?" the Martial King, however, looked disdainful.

Even though he had realized that Xu Ping’an was absorbing the Primordial Qi.

But in his opinion, what Xu Ping’an was doing was really a loss of face.

The nation-stabilizing general did not speak, however, he was also surprised inside.

To be able to bend and stretch, he’s a talented individual.

Looks like he’s about to make a breakthrough.

Indeed, at this moment, Xu Ping’an had reached the brink of a breakthrough.

"Buzz!"

Outside, a graceful figure was teleported out.

Luo Ling was full of joy, having made it to the Sixteenth Layer and slain over three hundred Inferno Hunterhounds in the Sixth Layer.

This result was quite commendable.

Each layer counting for ten points, she reached the sixteenth layer, that’s 160, plus the three hundred-plus Hunterhounds, making it 163.

Adding to her previous score from the first round, the 14 points.

Now she had 177 points.

This score was quite commendable indeed.

Luo Ling glanced at the leaderboard on the scroll.

100th place.

Yes, she made it into the top hundred.

Luo Ling was ecstatic.

There were only three people left behind her now.

Among these three, none had done as well as her in the first trial.

As long as they didn’t reach the Tenth Layer, she would be able to securely enter the top hundred.

Thinking of this, Luo Ling was even more delighted.

"Eh, this guy is here too?" Luo Ling’s face changed momentarily.

She noticed that Thunder Xu Ping’an was actually on the Sixth Layer?

Xu Ping’an had scored 85 points in his first trial, so to surpass her, he would have to break through to the Tenth Layer.

The Tenth Layer seemed to be quite easy to pass.

Luo Ling’s brows furrowed tightly.

If this guy surpassed her, she might drop out of the top hundred.

However, seeing Xu Ping’an struggling on the Sixth Layer, she suddenly felt hopeful again.

"Luo Ling, you’ve come out too." Huang Yu said with a smile as he approached.

He had just been transported out too.

He had reached the 22nd level and gained 224 points on top of his previous 16 points, for a total of 240 points.

He ranked 43rd.

"Huang Yu, you actually made it to the 22nd Layer? I see you’re ranked 43rd, so you even have hope for the top fifty," Luo Ling said with a smile, admiring Huang Yu.

"You’re not bad either, you can also make it into the top hundred this time," Huang Yu said with a smile, his face showing a hint of pride.

"But I’m in the 100th place, which is still very dangerous," Luo Ling hesitated.

Huang Yu immediately understood what Luo Ling meant and laughed, "Those two guys are almost unable to hold on and are definitely going to be eliminated."

"But that Xu Ping’an..." Luo Ling couldn’t help looking towards Xu Ping’an.

Indeed, when the first trial ended and she saw Xu Ping’an ranked first, she almost thought she had seen it wrong.

This guy, is he the junior brother of Li Qingyi?

Isn’t he only Fourth Rank?

How could he rank first?

He killed 85?

So Luo Ling was really worried that once Xu Ping’an broke through to the Tenth Layer, she would have to drop out of the top hundred.

"Don’t worry, I’ve looked into this Xu Ping’an. It seems he used some special method in the first trial, which is why he got first place. In a sense, he cheated to get first place," Huang Yu said disdainfully.

A guy who got first place by cheating, how far can he really go?

"But I heard he defeated Zhang Wentao?" Luo Ling said somewhat hesitantly.

"Do you think that’s possible? Look, Zhang Wentao has already reached the 27th Layer, where has he reached? Moreover, as a Fourth Rank Eighth Layer Realm cultivator, do you think he could defeat Zhang Wentao? Zhang Wentao must have been severely injured, and he just took advantage," Huang Yu said with contempt.

A Fourth Rank Eighth Layer beating a Fifth Rank Fourth Layer?

Is that possible?

Absolutely impossible, this Xu Ping’an must have just used some tricks.

Upon hearing this, Luo Ling also showed a trace of a smile on her face, and her eyes looking towards Xu Ping’an’s scroll became disdainful.

"I knew this guy couldn’t possibly be first. It turns out he cheated. Seeing him struggle on the Sixth Layer, he’s definitely not going to make it past the Tenth Layer," Luo Ling said with a look of pride.

A Fourth Rank Eighth Layer not getting past the Tenth Layer, that’s quite normal.

As long as Xu Ping’an fails, her spot in the top hundred would be set in stone.

Moreover, Xu Ping’an being chased by those demon beasts clearly showed he couldn’t overcome them.

And the way he punched, soft and weak, without any strength, truly rubbish.

Watching this, Luo Ling became even more certain that Xu Ping’an wouldn’t be able to get past the Sixth Layer.

In less than the time it takes an incense stick to burn, Xu Ping’an would be teleported out.

Soon the time it would take for an incense stick to burn had passed.

"Eh, this guy hasn’t been beaten to death?" Luo Ling said in surprise.

"He should be out soon, he hasn’t killed a single demon beast up to now, he’s bound to fail," Huang Yu chimed in.

Luo Ling nodded her head.

Yes, it should be soon.

However, not long after, an hour had gone by.

Xu Ping’an was still not transported out and hadn’t killed a single demon beast.

This left Luo Ling completely dumbfounded.

What was going on?
