Chapter 1412: Eight-Star Master

"It hasn't even been twenty minutes in total..."

"In such a short time, to reach the ninth floor... This, this?"

In front of the Master Tower, a crowd of onlookers—masters and other professionals—were all chattering their teeth.

Originally, they thought that even if he could pass, it would take at least a few days and nights, just like the previous two, full of difficulties. They never dreamed that in less than twenty minutes, he had already rushed to the final level!

This also meant that he had already passed all eight auxiliary subjects, each one recognized by the Saint Son!

Too fast!

"Although he's reached the final level, passing it is even harder!"

An elder not far away said in a deep voice.

"Why?"

Luo Xuanqing was puzzled.

This good brother of his had made terrifyingly fast progress. He had always thought no one could break his sister's record, but he never expected that this guy would rush to the final level so quickly.

This level tested cultivation. This guy had astonishing combat power, so passing should be easiest. Why did the elder say it was harder?

"The gatekeeper is... Zhang Chun! I heard they had a conflict before!" said the elder.

"Zhang Chun?"

Luo Xuanqing was stunned, his fists suddenly clenched: "Why him?"

He knew very well about the enmity between Zhang Chun and the other party. If this guy was guarding, passing would indeed not be easy.

Under normal circumstances, testing cultivation only required an ordinary eight-star master. There was no need for Zhang Chun, a super genius of the Zhang family, to personally intervene.

"I don't know the specifics either; he probably applied voluntarily!"

The elder nodded.

As a core member of the Zhang family, Zhang Chun could basically get news about what happened in the Saint Son Hall. Having a grudge against this guy and knowing he was going to challenge the Master Tower, applying to be the gatekeeper should be very simple.

"Damn it... If this guy dares to make things difficult for Zhang Xuan, once he comes out, I'll give him a good beating. If I don't make him bedridden for half a year, my name isn't Luo..."

Gritting his teeth, Luo Xuanqing's eyes turned red with anger.

After his cultivation breakthrough, he had always wanted to beat this guy up but hadn't had the chance. Then he learned about his sister's matter and was forced to attract the thunder tribulation...

He hadn't made a move yet, but the other party had struck first!

If this guy really went all out and prevented Master Zhang from passing, he would never let him off this time!

If he didn't beat him until even his parents couldn't recognize him, he wouldn't be called Luo Xuanqing!

"The Master Tower assessment is inherently difficult. If he let him off easily, it would invite criticism. Making it difficult is inevitable... It depends on whether this Master Zhang can withstand it!"

The elder shook his head and was about to continue when he suddenly felt the ground shake.

He quickly looked up and saw that on the ninth floor of the Master Tower, with a "boom!" a human-shaped bulge appeared on the wall.

"Master Zhang was hit..."

His eyebrows twitching, the elder's voice became urgent.

Luo Xuanqing didn't hesitate either and quickly looked over.

Boom!

The moment his eyes landed, another rumble came, the human-shaped bulge grew larger, and rubble kept falling from the air.

"Zhang Xuan..."

Full of worry, his lips trembling, Luo Xuanqing gritted his teeth and was about to rush over when suddenly his eyebrows jumped: "No, look at the clothes and build, the one being beaten doesn't seem to be Master Zhang..."

"No?"

Somewhat incredulous, the elder looked over, but before he could see clearly, the bulge "cracked!" and shattered, and a figure flew out backwards, plummeting straight down.

Bang!

He hit the ground, plunging into the soil like a scallion, only his legs thrashing wildly. Judging by his clothes and build, it was none other than that genius of the Zhang family, Zhang Chun!

"This..."

His eyebrows twitching, the elder's mouth couldn't close.

He knew Zhang Chun's strength very well: peak of Saint Domain seventh level, ordinary half-step Void Cave realm could hardly defeat him. To be beaten flying from the ninth floor by a kid at only half-step Out-of-Body realm, without even the ability to fly...

He rubbed his eyes vigorously, looked carefully several times, confirmed it was correct, then swallowed his saliva.

Not only he couldn't believe it, but even Luo Xuanqing's eyes were wide open.

Zhang Chun had already been beaten badly when he suppressed his cultivation. Didn't he learn his lesson and still suppress his cultivation?

Doing this, he wasn't seeking revenge, but deliberately asking for a beating...

Boom!

However, time didn't let him think much. The ground rumbled violently again, and eight beams of light shot from all directions toward the tower top, followed by a token appearing in the air.

Eight-Star Master Emblem!

"Congratulations to Zhang Xuan for successfully challenging the Master Tower and being promoted to Eight-Star Master!"

The voice resounded throughout the Saint Son Hall, like thunder, spreading in all directions.

"Master Zhang... passed the Eight-Star Master assessment?"

In his room, Zhang Jiuxiao, who was packing things, stopped.

Chen Leyao, who was cultivating, also stiffened slightly, her beautiful eyes full of disbelief.

When he came to the Saint Son Hall, he was only at the peak of Saint Domain fourth level, the Primordial Spirit realm, much weaker than her. In less than a month, he had directly become an Eight-Star Master...

Hearing it with her own ears, she found it unbelievable.

Such a scene occurred throughout the Saint Son Hall, especially among the cultivators who had entered the Saint Son Hall with Zhang Xuan through the assessment; all were astonished.

Even Zhao Xingmo stood still, unable to say a word.

Although he thought this Zhang Xuan had good talent and might achieve something, he still never dreamed that in less than a month at the Saint Son Hall, without attending a single class, he had already passed the Eight-Star assessment and become a true Eight-Star Master!

Becoming a true Eight-Star Master meant standing at the pinnacle of the entire continent, fully qualified to enter the Inner Court.

"Senior Brother... is amazing!"

Feng Ziyi's mouth also couldn't close.

She had previously thought that as fellow disciples, as long as she worked hard, she could surpass him. Hearing this voice, she realized she had been left far behind, and catching up was no longer possible.

"No wonder the teacher still accepted him as a disciple..."

The teacher had said he would only take him as a disciple and no more, but then another one appeared. Such talent was indeed tempting.

Whoosh!

A special force surged into his body, and Zhang Xuan reached out to grasp the eight-star emblem floating in the air.

With his current strength alone, he was no match for the opponent. The reason he could easily defeat him was naturally because he had released his clone.

Having absorbed the thunder, the clone's strength was even greater. Even though Zhang Chun was a peak Saint Domain seventh level powerhouse, he was punched into the wall with one punch, and after three punches, he fell unconscious and tumbled down from the floor.

"Eight-star..."

Looking down at the emblem in his palm, Zhang Xuan was filled with excitement. Just as he was about to put it into his ring, his brows furrowed, and another token appeared in his palm.

The Hall Master Token!

At this moment, the token was emitting a warm glow, as if some seal on it was slowly being undone.
