Young Master in Flower City

"Is it about to begin?" Someone spoke with an excited tone. The Soul-breaking Stele validates talent, but also breaks souls.

Those without strong talent or firm will should not ascend the Soul-breaking Stele.

Yet, how many who came here today do not want their talent validated?

Of course, there are also many spectators, in fact, the vast majority.

Yan Kuan, Jian Wushuang, Duan Sanqing, Zhan Xiao, and Luo Haishan of the Celestial Cloud Sect... these are naturally the most prominent figures here.

Especially Jian Wushuang, unparalleled in Sword Dao, who is eagerly awaited by everyone.

However, Jian Wushuang, with a personality like a sword, is extremely cold and has not spoken since his arrival.

But everyone knows that his sword is absolutely terrifying.

In the past century, the Soul-breaking Stele has been opened a hundred times, and the highest record reached was only the eighteenth level, which has never been broken.

But today, is it possible?

Yan Kuan was the first to step onto the stairs.

He stopped at the first step, with soul power spreading around, seemingly enduring a vast soul power oppression.

Without entering the Soul Stele, no one knows what Yan Kuan is experiencing.

"Senior Brother Yan Kuan will surely ascend to the eighteenth level of the stairs, and afterward, you will die miserably!" Qin Lan coldly stared at Li Fei, who had crushed her, and then walked away with lotus steps.

After him, others from the Qianhe Sect also gave Xiao Tianyu and others a cold glance.

At this moment, Zhan Xiao and Duan Sanqing exchanged glances, with a hint of rivalry in their eyes, and then under the attention of the crowd, they both stepped onto the first stair simultaneously.

After they ascended, many others also proceeded towards the Soul Stele, among them some outstanding figures.

"Big Brother!" Li Fei spoke, "I’m not interested in this level of thing. Why don’t you go?"

In the past, Li Fei hadn’t taken the Cold Ice Tower seriously and didn’t enter the sixth layer’s Residual Spirit.

Even now, he remains uninterested here.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianyu looked at Li Fei peculiarly.

Uninterested?

Where exactly is this guy from, to be uninterested in this?

Thus, Xiao Tianyu turned his gaze and spoke to Mo Qingluan and Bai Bufan, "What about you two?"

"From the looks of it, it seems one can only condense the Golden Battle Robe. Since Li Fei isn’t interested, I think it’s a waste of time here!" Bai Bufan spoke with a serious expression.

It seems the Soul-breaking Stele isn’t as terrifying as the rumors suggest. Even if one refines soul power, it only seems to be able to refine to the level of a Golden Battle Robe, which they are already adorned in.

Is there a need to refine using the Soul-breaking Stele?

From the rumors, Xiao Tianyu and others thought it was a great opportunity, but upon arriving, Xiao Tianyu’s soul power spread out directly allowing him to ascend easily. What Xiao Tianyu didn’t understand was how the stele validates talent?

The talent of any of them surpasses the Soul-breaking Stele.

Need to rely on the Soul-breaking Stele to validate talent?

"Brother Xiao, why don’t you go up?" At this moment, Qin Shuang spoke with a curious tone, quite surprised, given the reputation of the three, they should have the qualification to ascend the stele for talent validation, yet the three remained still.

"Not interested!" Xiao Tianyu responded.

Qin Shuang was slightly taken aback, uninterested, or afraid of having their soul broken by the Soul Stele?

In the ancient city of Jue, this Soul-breaking Stele opens only once a year. Countless geniuses gather here just to validate their talent, while Xiao Tianyu and his group claim to be uninterested.

"I really don’t understand how such a mere stone stele can validate any talent, it’s frankly a bit laughable!" Bai Bufan’s voice was rather loud, as if afraid others couldn’t hear him.

Seeing this, Xiao Tianyu was frustrated, this bastard, is he afraid the world won’t be chaotic enough?

"Afraid your soul will break, so don’t be arrogant!" A young man from the crowd scoffed at Bai Bufan, the speaker was a disciple from the Middle Three Peaks of the Luoshen Sect, even a genius among the Lower Three Peaks.

"The Burial Peak of the Luoshen Sect, he also came!" Someone was shocked, being able to train in the Luoshen Sect was definitely an existence worthy of admiration, now this Burial Peak comes from the Luoshen Sect.

Following this, under many gazes, the figure of Burial Peak walked towards the Soul Stele, ignoring Bai Bufan.

In his eyes, people like Bai Bufan, such arrogant ones, he’d seen too many, and in the end, they were as lowly as ants.

Then, someone from the Qianhe Sect spoke to Xiao Tianyu’s group, "Afraid of Senior Brother Yan Kuan’s revenge, so you gave up the Soul Stele contest to flee, right?"

"Seems so!" Someone chimed in.

In the eyes of the Qianhe Sect, Xiao Tianyu and the others not ascending the stele was them trying to slip away to avoid Yan Kuan’s revenge.

Now that Yan Kuan is on the stairs, he can’t deal with them.

"Are you courting death?" Xiao Tianyu’s eyes were sharp.

Outside the ancient city of Jue, they got no thanks for the rescue, and now they were constantly mocked by the other side, really thinking Xiao Tianyu had a good temper?

Even with a great temper, in this moment, he was furious.

"Cripple them!" Xiao Tianyu coldly snorted, words full of strength.

If the opponent is so ungrateful, then to cripple them would be just fine.

Cripple them?

Sh sh~

Many eyes all fell on Xiao Tianyu, greatly surprised.

Just one word, cripple them?

Do they have that ability?

"Big Brother, I’ve been waiting for you to say that for a long time!" Bai Bufan seriously spoke, "When out and about, it’s better to be a bit more arrogant, or else you’ll really be bullied everywhere."

The only way to earn respect is with your fists.

Wow~

In an instant, Bai Bufan took a step forward, his momentum overwhelming, and with the Heaven-piercing Halberd in hand, he slashed down mercilessly, causing everyone around to be shocked, attacking without any warning.

Bang bang~

Li Fei’s body erupted with might, directly charging forward, raising a fist for a powerful strike, overwhelmingly domineering, like Mount Tai bearing down, suddenly suppressing several from the Qianhe Sect,

Roar~

With a loud explosion, one was punched by Li Fei, spraying blood frantically, their Life Palace shattered, forever rendered a cripple.

Seeing this, the one who had mocked Xiao Tianyu and the others before, looked pale.

With a strike, they were crushed, and one was directly crippled.

A martial artist, if reduced to a cripple, how could they stand in the world?

Pfft~

Elsewhere, Bai Bufan was even more ruthless, the Heaven-piercing Halberd slicing through the throat, slaying a Qianhe Sect member, shocking the surrounding crowd.

Killed.

They killed someone from the Qianhe Sect.

Liu Qianhe will certainly not let them go, this grudge seems to be huge now.

Before, if Xiao Tianyu and others had only knelt and apologized to the Marquis and Qin Lan, this matter could have passed, but now, one was crippled, another killed, it’s no longer a matter of simply kneeling and apologizing.

"Big Brother, sorry, I slipped up!" Bai Bufan cheekily smiled at Xiao Tianyu, just now Xiao Tianyu asked him to cripple the Qianhe Sect member, but instead, he killed them.

Whether it was a slip or intentional, it’s not that important now.

Of course, Xiao Tianyu wouldn’t blame Bai Bufan.

Qin Lan, Marquis, Jiang Chengyi, Ge Cheng, their expressions turned ugly, they never expected that with a single order from Xiao Tianyu, the two would unhesitatingly go cripple members of the Qianhe Sect.
