Open up and break into another world

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!…

Inside the Five Elements Pagoda, collisions occurred again and again!

Poor Wei Hai, clearly at the mid-stage of the Acquired Realm, was repeatedly crushed by opponents at the early-stage of the Acquired Realm!

Wei Hai even couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Wanting to become an inner disciple of the Five Elements Sect is too difficult, right?

After repeated collisions, Wei Hai's defeat gradually became apparent.

"Wei Hai is going to lose!" Elder Li sighed.

His words contained regret and disbelief—after all, being at the mid-stage of the Acquired Realm but failing to pass the second level of the Five Elements Pagoda was unprecedented in the history of the Five Elements Sect!

"Logically speaking, even if the foundation is unstable, one shouldn't be unable to defeat someone at the early-stage of the Acquired Realm!" Elder Li couldn't help but sigh again, "How unstable does the foundation have to be for this to happen!"

Elder Li felt that Wei Hai had refreshed his understanding of "unstable foundation."

"That's right—" Elder Li thought of a possibility, "When Wei Hai was on the first level, he easily defeated an opponent at the peak of the Inner Training Realm by using his finger as a sword! Could it be… that the Acquired Qi from using his finger as a sword, seemingly understated, actually consumed a large amount of Wei Hai's energy? Coupled with his unstable foundation, that's why he can't even pass the second level?"

Thinking of this, Elder Li just wanted to say in his heart: With such an unstable foundation, you still wanted to show off during the assessment, you deserve to not pass the second level!

If Wei Hai knew what Elder Li was thinking at this moment, he would definitely want to cry—when he was on the first level, he was genuinely understated, not pretending to be!

However, now, Wei Hai is obviously more concerned about the battle in front of him—under the frantic crushing of his early-stage Acquired Realm opponent, he finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground.

And this opponent, conjured by the Five Elements Pagoda, directly stepped on Wei Hai's face, declaring victory!

Too miserable…

Wei Hai walked out of the Five Elements Pagoda with a dark face, amidst countless contemptuous gazes.

When he came out, Wei Hai kindly reminded the other geniuses, or rather, made excuses for his failure: "The opponents in the Five Elements Pagoda are too strong…"

"Too strong?" Elder Li sneered and didn't say much, "Next, who's going up?"

Even Wei Hai, a genius at the mid-stage of the Acquired Realm, was stopped at the second level and failed to become an inner disciple; for a time, no other genius dared to step forward.

Xu Ming smiled faintly and said, "I'll go!"

Xu Ming planned to observe Hong Lingge for a while to see what connection there was between her and Gu Hanmo.

Of course, this was also Xu Ming deliberately making others think that he was an Inner Training Realm martial artist; otherwise, with Xu Ming's strength, he could naturally make others think that he was whatever cultivation level he wanted them to think he was.

"Wei Hai, move aside! Don't block the way!" Elder Li scolded, "The one embarrassing himself is you!—This young man, although his cultivation is not high, he dares to challenge, so what's embarrassing about that?"

"Humph!" Wei Hai resentfully moved to the side.

Xu Ming then entered the first level of the Five Elements Pagoda and drew his sword.

Under Xu Ming's control, the opponent on the first level was also an ordinary peak Inner Training Realm martial artist.

Xu Ming struck him down with one sword.

Elder Li's eyes lit up: "With only Inner Training Realm cultivation, he was able to defeat a peak Inner Training Realm martial artist with one move? This child's foundation must be extremely solid!"

After seeing Wei Hai, who had an unstable foundation, Elder Li naturally favored geniuses with solid foundations.

Five Elements Pagoda, second level.

Xu Ming's opponent was also at the early-stage of the Acquired Realm.

"Act a little!" Xu Ming thought to himself.

To Xu Ming, a single glance could easily destroy the entire Chaos World; his every move here was naturally acting.

However, Xu Ming was also glad that he had descended into this dust world as a mortal; otherwise, if his divine sense had swept through the entire Chaos World, he would definitely not have discovered Hong Lingge.

Even Xu Ming himself was shocked and incredulous at being able to meet Hong Lingge.

"Is this the entanglement of cause and effect?"

However, Xu Ming saw the causal threads on Hong Lingge's body and was very clear—Hong Lingge had no causal entanglement with him before meeting him.

It was as if Xu Ming and Hong Lingge's meeting was purely coincidental.

"Does Hong Lingge have any connection with Gu Hanmo?" Xu Ming couldn't know the truth for the time being and could only explore it slowly.

While thinking, Xu Ming had already defeated the opponent on the second level—not a crushing victory, but he used quite a few moves; however, it was enough to shock people!

After all, in the eyes of others, Xu Ming was only at the Inner Training Realm!

An Inner Training Realm cultivation, yet he defeated an opponent at the early-stage of the Acquired Realm! Unbelievable!

At the same time, it also proved one thing—the opponents in the Five Elements Pagoda were not very strong! It's just… Wei Hai was too trash, too weak!

Xu Ming didn't continue to challenge the third level; after all, passing the second level was enough for him to enter the inner sect of the Five Elements Sect through normal channels.

"Xu Ming!" Elder Li looked at Xu Ming with admiration, "After entering the sect, if you have any doubts about cultivation, you can come and ask me at any time!"

As soon as Elder Li said this, the surrounding people were full of envy, even Wei Hai was no exception!

After all, Elder Li was a Core Formation Realm expert! Moreover, Elder Li's words already meant that he would focus on cultivating Xu Ming! Moreover, if anyone in the Five Elements Sect wanted to deal with Xu Ming, they would probably have to consider Elder Li first.

"Uh…" Xu Ming was speechless.

A Core Formation Realm expert wants to guide him?

Xu Ming was sure that Elder Li had inadvertently become the Core Formation Realm martial artist with the biggest tone in history!

However, Xu Ming's passing of the Five Elements Pagoda also made the other geniuses less fearful of the Five Elements Pagoda.

As Elder Li said—it's not that the opponents in the Five Elements Pagoda are too strong, it's just that Wei Hai's strength is too weak!

Then, several other early-stage Acquired Realm geniuses also entered the Five Elements Pagoda to challenge, and they all successfully passed the second level and entered the inner sect—which also proved that Wei Hai was indeed too weak!

As one genius after another entered the inner sect, Wei Hai's face darkened layer by layer—he, a dignified mid-stage Acquired Realm genius, had actually been relegated to the outer sect… and had become the publicly recognized unstable foundation in the Five Elements Sect…

After Jiang Bi and Wei Hai's three younger brothers also passed the second level, Hong Lingge finally stood up, ready to challenge the Five Elements Pagoda.

"It's finally Hong Lingge's turn!" Xu Ming's eyes lit up, and he already had a plan in his mind—he wanted to make Hong Lingge the most dazzling genius in this world!

The first step is to start with the Five Elements Pagoda!
