Chapter 25

The one-sided massacre continued for 10 minutes. Li Yuan was grabbing Jiang Yi's neck with his left hand and beating him with his right hand with the metal ball.

Jiang Yi's face was deformed to a horrible degree and even if his mother saw him now, she wouldn't be able to recognize him.

Seeing this, Li Yuan became satisfied and throw him to the side.

"Sect Master, announce the winner." Said Li Yuan.

The Sect Master smiled and looked at her daughter which made her sigh. She opened her mouth and announced loudly " Li Yuan is the winner of the 2nd Event!".

No one clapped as what they saw couldn't be considered a thrilling fight. Only one person clapped.

"Hahaha, Li Yuan is from the Profound Heart Sect. Do you hear that?! Our sect is stronger than the other two!" Fang Ping yelled out loudly while clapping.

The daughter of the Sect Master sighed and said: " Li Yuan will gain the right to enter and train in the Soul Tempering Tower." She didn't speak of the duration as her mother told her not to.

Li Yuan smiled after hearing that and said: "Sect Master, This junior wants to enter the tower right away."

The Sect Master looked at Li Yuan and nodded.

"Then, my daughter, Liu Yifie will guide you to the tower." She gestured for Liu Yifie which caused her to sigh even more.

"Follow me!" Said Liu Yifie. Li Yuan nodded and followed her leaving behind the stumped crowd. Usually, the winner will spend some times in the Nine Yin Palace before entering Soul Tempering Tower in order to find a Dao Companion. Li Yuan didn't and wanted to enter the tower right away. This means that he doesn't have any desire to find a Dao Companion from the sect.

"Beauties, Brother Yuan has asked me to replace him in this matter!" Fang Ping wouldn't be Fang Ping if he wasted this chance. If Li Yuan embarrassed him then he could only curse his bad luck.

Li Yuan's eyes shone with light as Fang Ping has volunteered to sacrifice himself for him. He will not be polite and refuse this heaven-sent gift.

"He is right!" Said Li Yuan as he disappeared with Liu Yifie.

Fang Ping was stunned at first. Then, his eyes reddened and said with a low voice" Li Yuan, I, Fang Ping will consider you as my Big Brother! Even if you want me to scale a mountain of blades, I will do it without hesitation!". Then, he looked at the beautiful disciples of the Nine Yin Palace with vulgar eyes while licking his lips.

"Who wants to speak about life with me in my courtyard?!"

"...."

Li Yuan didn't know what kind of chaos Fang Ping will cause by giving him the green light. But, he didn't care at all.

Let that shameless guy do what he wants.

Liu Yifie guided him to the Soul Tempering Tower and stopped right in front of it.

"First, you shoul...." Liu Yifie couldn't finish her words as Li Yuan ignored her and entered the tower. She was stunned by his actions and stared at the tower's door closing after he entered the tower.

Annoyance appeared in her face as it was the first time someone ignored her like that! She didn't want Li Yuan to be interested in her. But, she also didn't want him to ignore her like this!

She snorted angrily and when she turned around, she saw her mother staring at her with an ambiguous smile.

"I have never seen you make this expression from a guy before!" Said the Sect Master. She would always take her daughter to the outside world and let her experience it so she knew the danger in it. Of course, there were many young men who fell for her daughter and tried to woo her multiple times. But, it only ended up with her beating them to death.

"He is just acting hard to get! I have seen this kind of behaviour before!" Said Liu Yifie.

The Sect Master looked at her with a surprised face before starting to laugh.

"Fie'er, you are terribly wrong! He is not acting, he is truly uninterested in you! Well, maybe he will after seeing your face" said the sect master.

Liu Yifie ignored her mother and walked away while swaying her body.

The Sect Master looked at her daughter and couldn't help but sigh.

"This girl... When will she stop acting like this? There is an excellent young man in front of her but she acts stubbornly!" Said the Sect Master. Suddenly, her eyes shone with light as she formed an interesting plan. She giggled and disappeared from this place.

Inside the Soul Tempering Tower, Li Yuan stood on the 1st floor. Terrifying pressure was exerted on his soul and he didn't feel any discomfort at all. His eyes scanned the tower and determined that it have 20 floors. And because of his soul is at the peak of the 29th Level, the first few floors were useless to him. So, he ascended to the 10th floor right away.

The pressure on his soul multiplied 10 times and cracks appeared in his soul. Well, Li Yuan was excited and sat down to cultivate with his Undying Soul Technique.

His Soul was being repaired with this technique while the pressure continued cause cracks to appear in it.

A satisfied smile appeared o his face as he felt that his soul was improving at a rapid pace and he will need a maximum of 5 days to reach the 30th Level.

At the top of the tower, a group of 10 female elders were supplying the tower with the required Soul Energy to function.

"What floor do you think he will reach?"

"I think he will stop at the 15th Floor, he is already at the Peak of the 29th level and could cultivate without a problem on the 10th floor."

"Nah, I think he will reach the 16th floor. Don't forget he is an alchemist which means that he has better control over his soul energy!"

The elders continued to chat with each while putting their bets.

If Li Yuan knew what they were doing, he would have joined the bet and emptied all of their storage rings. Sadly, he was engrossed in his Soul Cultivation. Of course, he didn't forget to take the M Sword. The M Sword has a spirit and the Soul Tempering Tower would definitely have some beneficial effects on his spirit.

Feeling the pressure on his poor spirit, the sword was shaking from excitement and released loud hummings that annoyed the Elders at the top of the tower.

Li Yuan was prepared as he made earplugs due to the M Sword's loud hummings. It annoyed enough when he was hammering it and will not allow the noisy sword to distract him while cultivating his soul.

Days passed peacefully for Li Yuan and his Sword but not for the elders who were started to go crazy by the noisy M Sword.

Suddenly, Li Yuan' soul appeared above his body and started expanding as he was about to achieve the 30th Level.

His Soul was extremely pure and after leaving his body, the pressure was stronger on it. Yet, Li Yuan didn't care.

BOOOOM!

A shockwave formed of Soul Energy was released from his soul. His soul grows bigger and it became bigger by five times. Then, his soul shrank back to its original size.

Li Yuan' soul returned back and he opened his eyes. He looked at the M Sword that was flying around him. There was quite an obvious improvement in his spirit and it will not take too much to reach the Late Level of Tier 5. His lips twitched as the M Sword was improving at a terrifying pace.

Fuck! Where have you been in my past lives?! If I had you before, I would have already cut the heavens into two halves!

The M Sword' stats increased in Li Yuan's eyes. His desire to make a set of masochistic armours increased by many folds.

"Let's go to a higher floor." Said Li Yuan gently to the M Sword which caused it to circle around him a few times from happiness. Leaving Su Tao and following Li Yuan was the best choice in his entire life. The pain he saved in the span of a few days left with a big hope for the future.

Li Yuan and the Sword ascended to the 15th Floor and started cultivating there.

Days went by and a full month has passed.

Li Yuan's Soul Level reached the peak of the 33rd Level and was about to reach the 34th Level. The M Sword in the other hand reached the Late Level of Tier 5 and would require around another month to reach the Peak Level.

Li Yuan and his trusted sword started enjoying the pressure on them in the 15th Level.

The Poor Elders were about to go crazy when they received a piece of information from the Sect Master telling them to increase the duration by another month.

Like hell they want to hear that damned sword's loud noises for another month. Sadly, this was an order from the Sect Master and they could only comply with it.

Now, that sword is louder than before!

Oh heavens, please strike this damned sword down and release us from our misery!
