Sect examination (4)

After he stood up, He went to the stairs that lead towards the ninth floor he gripped his sword knowing that the challenge that lies ahead is the most dangerous one he has encountered.

Eventhough, He didn't feel discouraged he felt excited like a battle maniac he didn't feel any hesitation stepping on the stairs the pressure that was tyrannical before now felt like Ling wu was carrying a light backpack.

When he finally reached the base of the 9th floor he was shocked to realize that the beast wasn't a Early Goleden core stage beast. But instead, A Late stage Golden core stage beast instead.

"ROARRRRRRRRRRRRR-"

This beast was a Flood dragon the weakest of the dragon race but still strong enough to flatten an average Goleden core stage cultivator. "How could the Cosmic sect tame a Flood dragon I thought all dragon races went extinct after the Great Beast War but there still seems to be remnants of the dragon race maybe I could find other dragon races in hiding" As he finished saying that he quickly used Quick Lightning and striked the beast at Fast speeds. But the Flood dragon took his attack head-on and came out unscathed. He quickly Used Lightning strike and the area above the beast turned purple before strikes of Lightning assaulted at it Enraged by Ling wu the Flood dragon finally responded and swung its tail at Ling wu Ling wu jumped but he realized that he was about to get hit he instead used the Celestial movement art to evade the strike and also sent a Lightning storm at the beast. abut the beast eventhough damaged a bit it still continued attacking Ling wu. Ling wu felt the Clooging feeling in his heart everything he weilded his sword slowly get unscrewed out but right now he couldn't focus on that he still was in a Fight after all. The Elders were still dumbfounded however they thought that Ling wu wouldn't stand a chance against a Mid stage Golden core stage beast at most he could last a few breaths time(1). Elder Wang immediately asked for a report of the other people on the tower. "Most players are still at 3rd floor But Luo Xie is on the 5th floor but he is about to lose similarly Yang Ran is also on the 5th but she is fairing even worse" An Elder reported without leaving out a single detail. Elder Wang smirked and continued on the battle in front of them. Ling wu was constantly in a back and forth Ling wu being unable to breakthrough the defenses of the Flood dragon."If it's a battle of stamina I'm definitely outmatched but I still can't breakthrough it's defense And I can't use the 4th of Celestial Lightning Art because the sword couldn't handle the powers"Ling wu was Left in dilemma and didn't know what to do And eventually the Flood dragon would win A tail came at Ling wu at high speed he got knocked to the ground and when the Flood dragon was about to deliver the last blow.The feeling inside of Ling wu's heart finally had been unclogged and a noise of a wine bottle being open could be heard he grabbed a hold of his sword pushed the beast back swung his sword casually but as If the sword was cutting the air as paper it reached the Flood dragon couldn't evade so it took it head on swung it tail towards the ray of sword intent. it immediately got slashed into 2 equal parts and died immediately. An Omniscient voice descended and said

"Congratulations on Ling wu for becoming the first person to Clear the 9th floor of the Heavenly Pagoda" This voice was discernable for everyone when they heard the news everyone jaws almost touched the floor but they quickly recollected themselves as they were fighting their respective battles. Meanwhile, The Elder all had 'O' shaped mouths "That was sword intent wasn't it this kid who isn't even an adult use sword intent Even multiple multiple Earth realm warriors couldn't achieve sword intent after cultivating for a 500 years yet this kid could achieve it"Said an elder in astonished tone happily that this genius joined their sect joined instead of other sects he is truly a valuable asset and we might win the Annual Empire Championship Tournament in 200 years. Elder Wang was also similarly delighted The Ye Empire is known as the weakest Empire in The Star moon Empire all of the Empires geniuses always won the Tournament every year but seems like that was about to change. Elder Wang immediately reported to the Sect leader the news and he asked him to bring Ling wu to him immediately after the reward ceremony is over. Ling wu however was passed out on the floor feeling that incredible feeling of power he was delighted with his performance and even surprised himself with this. The stupefied elder couldn't stop gleaming with 3 geniuses this year we will surely win this Year.
