Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 236: The End of the Second Match

Time trickled by, bit by bit.

In the Tower of a Hundred Beasts, only Xu Ping’an remained.

However, Xu Ping’an still spent two hours on each level before moving on to the next.

And Xu Ping’an smoothly passed the sixteenth, seventeenth...

Even the twentieth level couldn’t halt his advance.

At this moment, Xu Ping’an had reached the twenty-first level.

In the twenty-first level, Xu Ping’an was still being pursued.

"How strong is this guy? If he can break through to the thirties, are we just going to stand by and watch?" someone impatiently said.

"Don’t rush, he may not be able to reach the thirtieth level. Every ten levels there is a hurdle, and I think it would be incredible if he could reach the twenty-ninth level," someone else commented.

"The twenty-ninth level? I think the twenty-sixth level is already quite good, even the twenty-fourth level, considering he hasn’t even reached the Fifth Rank," another person spoke up.

The others nodded in agreement.

After all, Xu Ping’an was only at the Fourth Rank Ninth Layer.

With such strength, advancing further was almost an impossibility.

Xu Ping’an didn’t know any of this, he was still following his own rhythm.

At this moment, he was not far from breaking through to the Fifth Rank, furiously absorbing the Primordial Qi.

According to his estimation, just three more levels up, and he would definitely break through to the Fifth Rank.

Time continued to pass gradually.

Xu Ping’an quickly surpassed the twenty-second level.

In the early stages, Xu Ping’an was still being pursued, then gradually wore down these Demon Beasts.

In the last half an hour, he would kill these Demon Beasts.

Just like that, Xu Ping’an made it in one go to the twenty-fifth level.

It was on the twenty-fifth level that Xu Ping’an successfully broke through to the Fifth Rank.

With Xu Ping’an’s breakthrough to the Fifth Rank, both his True Yuan and his Physical Body received a massive enhancement.

Instantly, Xu Ping’an’s strength soared.

By his estimation, his strength should now be on par with an ordinary expert at the Fifth Rank Ninth Layer Realm.

Such strength was also quite formidable in this session of Holy Refinement.

After breaking through to the Fifth Rank, Xu Ping’an no longer wasted time.

The absorption of the Primordial Qi had reached a bottleneck stage.

He had just broken through to the Fifth Rank and advancing too quickly was not beneficial; what he needed to do now was to hone his strength and adapt quickly to this newfound power.

"Now, let the slaughter commence," he said.

On the twenty-fifth level, Xu Ping’an revealed a hint of a light smile.

He then stopped fleeing and instead charged into the pack of Demon Beasts, starting a frenzied slaughter.

At this moment, Xu Ping’an’s strength from his physical body alone was already comparable to a Fifth Layer Fifth Rank Realm, and even without using his extraordinary True Yuan, his strength was quite terrifying.

Xu Ping’an, like a War God, threw a punch that exploded a Demon Beast outright.

In a moment, there were already more than a dozen Beasts dead at his feet.

"So powerful. It looks like he’s gone berserk. After his breakthrough to the Fifth Rank, he’s no longer just absorbing Primordial Qi, but starting to temper himself," someone exclaimed in surprise.

"Indeed, he’s clever. Blindly breaking through is not a good thing; on the contrary, using these Demon Beasts to hone himself now is the right decision," praised an expert at the Seventh Rank from the high platform.

Even the Sovereign of Great Qin couldn’t help but nod.

If Xu Ping’an continued to absorb without limit, he wouldn’t be optimistic, but now that Xu Ping’an had given up on absorbing and resisted the urge to keep breaking through, that was the mark of a true genius.

The audience below didn’t care about any of this; at this moment, they felt immensely exhilarated.

Xu Ping’an had been dragging things out before, leaving them feeling frustrated.

But with his explosive performance now, they were naturally extremely thrilled.

Especially watching Xu Ping’an tear apart Demon Beasts, punching them into pieces.

Their blood boiled instantly.

In their view, this was how a man should fight.

At this moment, many girls on the platform were captivated by Xu Ping’an’s aggressive and brave demeanor.

A hundred Fifth Rank Fifth Layer Realm Demon Beasts were soon all killed by Xu Ping’an.

And Xu Ping’an smoothly ascended to the twenty-sixth level.

This time, Xu Ping’an didn’t dally and began fighting right away.

Xu Ping’an incorporated his casting Hammer Technique into his Fist Technique.

With one punch, it was akin to fifty.

Even these Fifth Rank Sixth Layer Realm demon beasts couldn’t withstand it, each one collapsing under Xu Ping’an’s fist.

Thus, Xu Ping’an’s white robes were stained with blood, as if he were in a realm devoid of people.

It took him merely the time of half an incense stick to reach the twenty-seventh level.

"So fast, even on the twenty-sixth level he’s speeding through. Could he really break through the thirtieth level?" someone couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

Those who previously thought that Xu Ping’an couldn’t possibly make it to the thirtieth level were now beginning to have doubts.

Huang Yu was stunned at this moment; he had fallen beyond the fiftieth rank.

Because Xu Ping’an had surpassed him.

Seeing how effortlessly Xu Ping’an handled the twenty-sixth level, he was completely dumbfounded.

This suggested that Xu Ping’an was far stronger than him.

Thinking this, he suddenly felt humiliated.

Originally, when he lectured Xu Ping’an and the latter did not retort, to him, it was as if he were utterly disregarded.

In the stands, Song Lingxue was incredibly excited.

She always knew her master was strong, but she was also somewhat surprised.

She didn’t expect her master to be even stronger than she imagined.

Meanwhile, Zhou Mengyue was also full of surprise.

Xu Ping’an’s strength far exceeded her imagination. This time she had also made it to the twenty-third level.

She had entered the top hundred, but compared to Xu Ping’an, the gap was still enormous.

"Do I really need to cooperate with him? He’s right, if I don’t fully awaken my bloodline, I cannot truly compete with these geniuses," Zhou Mengyue thought to herself.

It seemed she had made a decision.

Xu Ping’an was unaware of these thoughts; at this moment, he had already passed the twenty-seventh level and arrived at the twenty-eighth.

At this level, even Xu Ping’an felt somewhat strained.

Therefore, he no longer held back and brought out his shield.

With the shield’s enhancement, Xu Ping’an once again displayed a formidable aura.

Soon, all the demon beasts of the twenty-eighth level were smashed to death by Xu Ping’an.

On the twenty-ninth level, Xu Ping’an found it somewhat easier.

However, on the thirtieth level, he did encounter some resistance.

Xu Ping’an employed his shield’s combat technique.

Ultimately, at the cost of some minor injuries, he killed all one hundred Fifth Rank Ninth Layer extreme demon beasts.

On the thirty-first level, Xu Ping’an had a relatively easier time.

He quickly broke through.

The thirty-second level was similar.

On the thirty-third level, Xu Ping’an once again felt pressure.

This time, Xu Ping’an utilized the Dragon Thunder Sword.

Once the Dragon Thunder Sword was deployed, Xu Ping’an burst forth with terrifying combat power.

This time, the entire arena was stunned. Was this guy also skilled in swordsmanship?

However, they didn’t know that Xu Ping’an at this moment was still using common True Yuan.

The Sword-type True Yuan had not yet been revealed.

Ultimately, with the Dragon Thunder Sword’s boost, Xu Ping’an broke through to the thirty-sixth level, slaying more than five hundred demon beasts.

He earned 365 points in the end.

Adding to his previous 85 points.

With a total of 450 points, he ranked third, right behind Long Zhan.

When everyone saw this ranking, they collectively inhaled a breath of cold air.

Xu Ping’an actually ranked third, having reached the thirty-sixth level?

The others were also amazed beyond belief.

This exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Xu Ping’an himself wasn’t too perturbed by this; he had not revealed his true strength, otherwise, he could have gone even higher.

Of course, he believed that the others felt the same.

These geniuses wouldn’t expose their true trump cards so early in the game.

So the battles to come were when the real excitement would begin.
