Chapter 557 He Is Different from You

"Oh? Hai Lao, do you perhaps know what Ye Yuan is doing inside?" Seeing Nanami's attitude, Ren Xingchun was slightly surprised.

Nanami smiled faintly: "Ye Yuan's level is different from others, so naturally what he sees is also different. The first and second layers are filled with countless spirit beasts, and these spirit beasts have no physical form, making them an excellent place for training. If I'm not mistaken, he should be using these spirit beasts to temper himself, which is why he always waits until the last moment to enter the next layer."

Ren Xingchun's eyes widened. Although he had great confidence in Ye Yuan, this was too exaggerated.

Even Soul Sea realm martial artists dared not linger too long in a single layer; could Ye Yuan alone stay until time was almost up?

And without others to divert attention, how could he charge through alone?

"Hai Lao, although Ye Yuan's strength is considerable, he is after all only at the Sea of Transformation realm. Training like this inside, I fear his primal force won't hold out!" Ren Xingchun said tactfully.

On the surface, these words sounded like concern, but in fact, they were criticizing Ye Yuan for being too reckless.

With so many spirit beasts inside, if he ran out of primal force and was eliminated, what a grievance that would be!

If he were truly eliminated, not to mention the city lord, even Ye Yuan himself would lose face!

"Heh heh, old man, you care too much, and that clouds your judgment. Moreover, you probably don't truly understand your own grandson. Ye Yuan appears very reckless, even disregarding consequences, but afterwards you'll find he has calculated every step. Blocking Zichen Sect, detaining Qin Hongtao's grandson, destroying Tianxie Sect—which of these was not planned before action? Rest assured, this kid will be fine!" Nanami said with certainty.

Ren Xingchun thought for a moment and realized that Nanami was indeed right.

His understanding of his own grandson was indeed pitifully little. Of course, this was also related to Ye Yuan's deliberate distancing from him.

This kid had an even hotter temper than himself; the two often couldn't see eye to eye. If he hadn't given in at the end, this kid would have torn the sky apart!

Nanami was very confident in his judgment, but he never dared to dream that Ye Yuan's ultimate goal was to kill all the spirit beasts in the first layer!

If he knew what Ye Yuan was doing inside, he might not be so calm.

...

After entering the third layer, Ye Yuan suddenly found it much emptier.

In the first and second layers, spirit beasts were densely packed. Especially in the first layer, the density was enough to make one's scalp tingle. Just the sheer number was despair-inducing.

But after entering the third layer, Ye Yuan suddenly noticed that the spirit beasts seemed fewer than before.

He had been in this layer for some time, yet he hadn't even seen a single spirit beast!

Could it be that all these spirit beasts had been killed by others?

Ye Yuan was three days behind the others, so by now, the third layer should have long been empty of others.

The other martial artists had either passed the third trial or been eliminated.

In other words, now in the third layer, only Ye Yuan remained!

The only one!

"Strange, even if the number of spirit beasts decreases in the third layer, it shouldn't be to this extent. What exactly happened?" Ye Yuan said gloomily.

Since he couldn't encounter any spirit beasts, Ye Yuan simply flew toward the entrance to the fourth layer.

Ye Yuan was also quite looking forward to it now, because after passing the third layer, there would be a stage reward.

If it were before entering, Ye Yuan would not have been so expectant, because he really didn't lack techniques or martial skills.

Just the "Lingzhe Nine Sun Divine Art" alone was enough for him to cultivate to the Divine King realm, so why bother learning other techniques?

Even though he knew that Lu Linfeng had soared from here, Lu Linfeng's level was merely a bit stronger than his own.

If he had to say he was interested, Ye Yuan would have been interested in what came after the sixth layer.

But now, Ye Yuan's thoughts had completely changed.

This Haotian Tower was too miraculous; it actually had something like nameless energy. So what would the rewards for the first three layers be?

Because there were no obstacles along the way, Ye Yuan moved extremely fast. In just one hour, he was almost at the entrance to the fourth layer.

However, what lay before him left Ye Yuan dumbfounded.

"Damn, is this for real?" Ye Yuan looked at the scene and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

…

Meanwhile, in a nameless space, a group of martial artists were chatting animatedly.

"Finally made it through the third layer! Now we can get the first stage rewards!"

"Yeah, even though the beast's level only increased by one small step each layer, it feels several times stronger! There's no way I can get through the fourth layer!"

"Those Green Sand Beasts were really troublesome; I almost got stuck on the third layer! If I couldn't even get through the third layer, this trip would have been a waste."

"Yeah, Green Sand Beasts are extremely formidable among third-tier beasts. Even though we're at the Soul Sea realm, having so many Green Sand Beasts swarm us was really tough."

Clearly, the third layer had put considerable pressure on these Soul Sea realm cultivators.

Although the beasts only increased by one small step each layer, the difficulty increase was far from ordinary.

Facing endless attacks, even the strongest martial artist would be worn down.

Ye Yuan had such fine control over his Yuan Power and still almost got himself killed, let alone others.

Moreover, these beasts were not ordinary; they were very strong among their own rank. Without considerable strength, there was no way to break through.

A total of three hundred people entered the Haotian Tower this time. But now, fewer than twenty remained in this nameless space.

These people were all Soul Sea realm experts; the Sea of Qi realm martial artists had been utterly crushed by the beasts.

The only surviving Sea of Qi realm martial artist was Ye Yuan alone.

Just then, an ancient voice suddenly rang out: "Welcome to the inheritance space. Congratulations on successfully passing the first three layers of the Haotian Tower. I will grant you corresponding rewards based on your performance in the first three layers."

Guo Taoqun was the second to enter the nameless space. After entering, he kept staring at the entrance, hoping to see Ye Yuan's figure.

Unfortunately, until the voice sounded, he hadn't seen a single shadow!

Could it be that Ye Yuan had really failed?

But… how was that possible?

Guo Taoqun and Qin Yan exchanged glances, both looking bewildered.

What had happened to Ye Yuan that he would fail?

"May I ask, senior, shouldn't there be one more among us who hasn't arrived?" At this moment, Yin Yanhua suddenly spoke.

Everyone fell silent; they all knew who Yin Yanhua was referring to.

"He is different from you…" After a moment of silence, the voice said.
