Chapter 760: Chapter 384: Heavenly Pride on the Tai Yuan Heroes List_4
An hour later, the glow emanating from the magical bead turned from gray to yellow.
The numerous disciples in the Forbidden Square all trembled in shock, watching the changing glow of the magical bead with awe.
Only a handful of Heavenly Prides, including Lu Yun, remained silent, their expressions unchanged.
After two more hours, the magical bead above Song Zilin’s gateway emitted a green light.
This meant that he had reached the sixteenth level, the third step.
As long as he defeated the opponent in the starry world associated with this step, he would break his previous record.
“Three years ago, Zilin was stopped at the third step, this time, he will surely pass it with ease,” Teng Wenwen said, her eyes full of hope.
After another two hours, which equaled an hour, the bead shone with a blue light.
It was shocking, but not unexpected.
Time gradually passed, and four hours since Song Zilin had entered the Forbidden Tower had elapsed.
In the meantime, the glow of the magical bead on the gateway changed successively to blue and then to orange.
Finally, under the expectant gazes of the crowd, it turned purple.
This time, the many disciples in the square were utterly immersed in shock.
Such achievement proved that Song Zilin’s strength had caught up with that of the former Heavenly Prides Chu Jungui and Wu Yuanbai.
“I always knew you could do it,” said Teng Wenwen, her beautiful eyes shimmering, her face aglow with an extraordinary radiance.
…
Not long after, a dejected Song Zilin clad in blue robes walked out of the gateway.
He approached Teng Wenwen, shrugged his shoulders, and managed a weak smile:
“I gave it my all, but I still couldn’t defeat the seventh opponent.”
Teng Wenwen stepped forward, tenderly straightened his slightly disheveled clothing, and consoled him, “It’s okay, you’ve already done so well.”
Many disciples in the square, both men and women, felt a pang of envy at this scene.
However, thinking of the talents and strengths of the two, they all shook their heads slightly.
The title of Tai Yuan Elite, just that alone, is enough to deter ninety-nine point nine percent of people.
Moreover, the two seemed to be a match made in heaven.
As for Lu Yun, he did not entertain so many thoughts, his sole idea being that the Heavenly Prides on the Tai Yuan Elite List were nothing special after all.
He thought that elite talents like Song Zilin, even if they couldn’t pass the Forbidden Tower, should have no trouble reaching the sixteenth level.
But that was not the case.
From the murmurs of the many disciples in the square, Lu Yun learned that Song Zilin had already reached the fifteenth level of the Forbidden Tower three years ago.
Yet, after three years, he still hadn’t passed it.
If that was the case for Song Zilin, Teng Wenwen was probably not far behind.
Now that he had figured this out, Lu Yun decided not to waste any more time and chose to enter the tower.
“I’ll go ahead,” he said to Yuan Fei and the other two before stepping toward the Forbidden Tower.
“Lu Yun, you’re not waiting for Goddess Teng,” reminded Wei Xinhuh.
Lu Yun shook his head without speaking and stepped into the gateway bathed in white light.
“Lu Yun, he’s attempting the tower?”
Lu Yun’s sudden move captured the attention of many.
Most of them were there because of Song Zilin and Teng Wenwen, but that didn’t diminish their interest in Lu Yun.
Such individuals as Lu Yun, in terms of fame, stand above the ordinary Heavenly Prides of the Mountain River List, and even compared to the Tai Yuan Elites, are not much weaker.
The eyes of many disciples lit up, intently watching the gateway Lu Yun had entered.
“What do you think, will Lu Yun reveal his Forbidden Tower results this time?” someone suddenly asked.
“Psh, what kind of person he is, haven’t you figured that out after all this time?”
“Lu Yun, if you say he’s low-key, he rose rapidly within just two years and suddenly became a key figure among the official disciples. But when you say he’s high-profile, he rarely shows his strength in front of others, and the only time he did was because someone else provoked him. It’s probably very difficult to get him to reveal his Forbidden Tower results.”
The one speaking seemed to know Lu Yun very well, shaking his head while he looked at the portal enveloped by white light.
The others, who were very curious about Lu Yun, all showed a look of helplessness.
Lu Yun’s behavior was truly gripping their curiosity tightly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
“It seems that Lu Yun’s influence is not much weaker than that of Heavenly Prides like Song Zilin and Teng Wenwen.”
Seeing that nearly all the discussions around him were about Lu Yun, Wei Xinhuh couldn’t help but feel emotional.
The next moment, as if thinking of something, he glanced at Yuan Fei and murmured to himself, “So many people, and it seems few recognize our great Demonic Ape, Yuan Fei?”
“It seems you felt the black eye I gave you last time was too small and too faint. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to pay more attention next time.”
Yuan Fei spoke lightly, his voice full of threat. This made Wei Xinhuh subconsciously touch his eye, where the mark of a black eye had not completely faded away.
“Haha, just kidding, just kidding. Old Yuan, don’t take it to heart.”
Wei Xinhuh felt it wasn’t enough and continued, “I believe with your talent, within three to five years, you’ll ascend the Mountain River List. Within ten years, you’d be able to thrash Lu Yun single-handedly.”
Flattered by Wei Xinhuh’s bootlicking, Yuan Fei’s expression changed from overcast to sunny, even fantasizing in his heart about a day in the future when he could rub Lu Yun into the ground.
Far away, Teng Wenwen frowned slightly.
She hadn’t expected that Lu Yun would have such high prestige among the many official disciples.
She didn’t particularly care for herself, but she was somewhat unhappy with someone else causing more of a stir than Song Zilin.
In her heart, Song Zilin was the most formidable one, unmatched by anyone else.
Song Zilin, on the other hand, appeared more open-minded and wasn’t very bothered. He watched the portal Lu Yun entered, smiling faintly:
“I thought that after all of us here advanced to elite disciples, the Tai Yuan Elite List would see a long empty period. But now it seems there’s no need to worry.”
“His cultivation speed is that fast?”
A look of surprise flashed in Teng Wenwen’s beautiful eyes.
Others might not know, but she was very clear that the Heavenly Prides on the Tai Yuan Elite List would choose to break through their current realm in succession.
Within a year, if no disciple breaks through to the eleventh layer of the Heavenly Human Realm, the Tai Yuan Elite List will be left empty.
“You know, my premonition is always very accurate, rarely mistaken. My feeling about Lu Yun is, he’s unfathomable, at least not weaker than me.”
This time, Song Zilin chose to communicate through consciousness transmission.
Lu Yun was evidently low-profile, clearly not wanting others to know his strength.
Song Zilin didn’t want to sour relations with Lu Yun for no reason, so he used consciousness transmission.
Teng Wenwen gave a slight smile, her clear, lively eyes twinkling as she looked at Song Zilin and said earnestly, “In my eyes, Zilin, you’re the most formidable.”
“To me, Wen Wen, you’re also the strongest.”
Song Zilin’s eyes were filled with indulgence.
This scene caused the few who had persisted to look away.
If they kept watching, the knives in their hearts would only multiply.
“It’s hard to imagine that a Heavenly Pride like Song Zilin would say such down-to-earth lovey-dovey stuff,” Wei Xinhuh shook his head slightly, his face full of disbelief.
“When you fall in love, your behavior won’t be any better than his,” Li Zhichang teased mercilessly.
Wei Xinhuh declared confidently, “Fall in love? Impossible in this lifetime.”
“Don’t speak too absolutely.”
At that moment, the pearl of light on the portal that Lu Yun entered showed the number of levels in the Forbidden Tower.
The eleventh level.
“As expected, Lu Yun chose to hide his Forbidden Tower score!”
