Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 709 - 396: Bloody Battle of Geniuses! Situation Inside the Trial Tower_2

Someone like Jiang Shu, without any backing, will most likely join the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance later.

There's no need to fight in the Third Floor.

After all, when unclear about the opponent's background, the drawbacks of victory outweigh the benefits.

For one, the opponent might have a trump card stronger than one's own.

On the other hand, outside the Trial Tower, many Tenth Rank experts are watching nonstop.

Everything he does here should not only be for himself but also for the interests of the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance.

"Whoosh!"

Space torn apart, Zhuang Cheng departs.

While Jiang Shu opens the storage space of the Ninth Rank cultivator he slew, starting to inspect the remaining treasures or secret techniques inside.

"These few treasures can be used to cultivate the Ten Thousand Treasures Cross-Integration Technique, enhancing the body.

"These few volumes of assault secret techniques are rather mediocre, far less damaging than the Panwu Heaven Opening Axe."

"This spatial secret technique, compared to what Tuoba Jin gave, is indeed deeper, but unfortunately, at present, I don't have much time to spend in its comprehension. I'll have enough time when I return to the Cang Mang Domain, back at Wenxian Palace."

"However, no rush, it's normal for the first kill to have nothing good, next I shall cultivate in this Third Floor for quite some time."

With a shift in his heart, Jiang Shu selects a fine mountain range, establishes a Cave Mansion, and focuses on spending a month setting up a formation; this is his trump card, should he meet an unbeatable foe, he can maneuver through the formation.

...

"Boom!"

On the Third Floor, battles continue, but in just five months, several surrounding mountains of Jiang Shu were completely flattened, with floodwaters looming, almost filling the area, creating a vast water zone.

During these five months, Jiang Shu experienced ten battles, both large and small. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Among them, he lost one, drew two, and won seven.

The strength of Jiuyu Commerce Alliance's geniuses is even more exaggerated than I imagined. After all, Jiuyu Commerce Alliance is much more formidable than the Six Great Forces outside the Black Iron Desert, with nine full Eleventh Rank experts, not to mention beyond that, said to have Saints in the Manifested Saint Realm presiding, speaking of heritage, it could rival the Eight Great Sects within Cang Mang Domain."

"Furthermore, compared to Cang Mang Domain, the Star Ruins Realm's resources are richer, more diverse environments for battles and triumphing over some Nirvana Realm True Inheritors is indeed normal."

"All geniuses able to linger on the Third Floor have such prowess, let alone those who have already headed to the Fourth Floor to officially commence their trial."

Jiang Shu muttered to himself, his injuries gradually recovering.

His last battle was against a genius from the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance; the aura of oppression brought by the genius was even stronger than Zhuang Cheng whom he met first stepping onto the Third Floor."

A flurry of Heavenly Rank Divine Skills, ultimately forced to unleash the Panwu Heaven Opening Axe, which was how he intercepted the other party's killer move.

Both ended up injured as a result.

However, Jiang Shu's injuries were more severe, with an arm totally broken, over ninety percent of his vital energy spent in the battle, rendering his fighting strength insignificant, unable to continue the fight.

The opponent, although holding a slight edge, lacked the means to pursue victory.

Indeed, my realm advancement is too swift, in the Nirvana Realm, I haven't properly polished the realm, and also in the Forget Self Realm, lacked corresponding cultivation methods and cultivation secret techniques. Looks like after this genius trial ends, heading to Xuanxing is imperative; only through acquiring the vengeance of the Void Venerable can my strength advance further."

"Failure proves I've vast room for progression in this realm. Right now my problems are, having the spiritual power of Forget Self Realm without corresponding spirit secret techniques, unable to exert absolute power in battles."

"Though the Panwu Heaven Opening Axe is mighty, the accumulation of proficiency needs more work; these several battles have indeed elevated my comprehension of the Original Dao, hope seclusion will yield results."

Within the Cave Mansion, Jiang Shu shut his eyes to heal, proficiency on the panel skyrocketing.

Compared to those geniuses, his lag is merely temporary.

As long as direction is clear, cultivation speed can quickly catch up.

Spatial secret techniques need to be cultivated; later facing various Ninth Rank Peak Star Beasts, if spatial comprehension is too weak, only brute force can prevail, achieving one-versus-many is truly difficult."

"Only when capable of handling space before Ninth Rank Peak Star Beasts, freely manipulating space, teleporting back and forth, then can they be individually broken."

"Achieving this now is impossible, merely aspiring for comprehension of space origin one step further, to regain more breaths during retreat, restore energy, and then engage in combat again."

In his mind various deductions, Jiang Shu gleaned much from these ten battles."

He rectifies his shortcomings in battles, amplifying strengths."

...

"This Jiang Shu is indeed a decent seedling, unfortunately starting too late, his comprehension of space origin is overly weak, our Jiuyu Commerce Alliance's geniuses mostly surpass him, possibly due to lack of good mentorship."

"Normal, having cultivated to his realm from a minor star, already is an accomplishment. Also, during recent battles, his comprehension of space origin markedly advanced visibly, indicating his innate talent is really strong. As long as he accumulates more in the Third Floor, he can certainly burst into the Sixth Floor, slaying over five Ninth Rank Peak Star Beasts."

"Yes, compared to him, Yu Heng from the Black Abyss Alliance progresses far slower. Also tends to overly rely on his own spatial comprehension during combat. Too cunning, might not tread far down the road."

"I think Yu Heng's deftness isn't wrong, Space Origin Law, after all, forms one of the cosmos origin's supreme laws, once comprehended, one enters the Forget Realm, pondering other origin laws holds no significance. As long as he focuses on this, can similarly surpass both you and me."

Tenth Rank experts watch everything on-screen, though mouths debating, eyes conveying some admiration.

For them, as long as genuine geniuses emerge from this genius Trial Tower, excavated by them, each can gain immense benefits.

"Unfortunately, we cannot interfere in the genius Trial Tower, otherwise I'd channel consciousness and grant Jiang Shu a spatial secret technique; perhaps a few years later, Jiang Shu's comprehension of space might even surpass Yu Heng."

"If possible, why should we need this genius Trial Tower? Every opportunity must be seized by themselves. Nevertheless, with Jiang Shu's talent, falling behind only momentarily, once he joins the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance, there'll be plenty of time to cultivate, slowly climb to heights."

"By then it'll be too late, this entry to the Eternal Tower is an excellent chance, we who've cultivated till now understand better than anyone, fall behind by one step, lag behind step by step. Resources always coagulate at the top, between ordinary and super geniuses, lies a massive threshold. Only stepping into the Seventh Floor can truly welcome Jiuyu Commerce Alliance's investment, afterward engaging with various geniuses in the Inner Circle, won't exhibit defeat."

"Watch, still on the Third Floor, all remains unknown; over these past four years, our Jiuyu Commerce Alliance has seen only two ascend to the Seventh Floor. Doubtful if any may ascend to the Eighth Floor in the coming six years."

"If several more reach the Seventh Floor, I'd be quite satisfied. Each Ninth Rank Peak Star Beast is complex, moving forward breeds more star beasts varieties, each controlling entirely different origins. Higher floors don't simply equate to star beast quantity doubling, battle environment, battle difficulty, grows exponentially harsher."
