Chapter 1395 - 1394: The 11th Level

Chapter 1395: Chapter 1394: The 11th Level

Sword Prison, outside world.

Numerous gazes were focused on the area atop the Thousand Zhang Giant Sword, where six names remained in the tenth-floor region, unable to break through to the eleventh floor, even after ten long minutes.

Ten minutes had passed, yet no one managed to penetrate the tenth level of the Sword Prison.

Buzz!

At that moment, the portal of light shone again, and a slightly short and thin figure was flung out, clothes tattered and covered with sword marks, extremely in distress. It was none other than Source Yoshihiro.

"Damn it!"

Upon being transported out, Source Yoshihiro couldn’t help but look displeased, spitting in frustration. Despite fighting a tough battle, he was defeated by the Gatekeeper of the tenth level, losing the chance to continue.

Moreover, being the first to be disqualified was quite a blow to his pride.

Buzz!

However, within a few breaths, a snowy silhouette flew out from the light portal, staggering and retreating for dozens of steps before stabilizing her body, her Treasure Sword piercing into the ground.

"Snow Princess, you failed too."

Source Yoshihiro’s face looked slightly better. If he alone was eliminated while the others succeeded, it would be a significant blow to him.

"Just a bit short."

Snow Princess’s pretty face showed a trace of unwillingness; she was just a bit away from dodging the Gatekeeper’s blade glow and delivering a fatal strike, yet underestimated that the opponent’s sword was faster, not because it was inherently quicker, but because it seemed to change its length randomly, leaving her defenseless and thus defeated.

"Since we are out, the others should be soon."

In Source Yoshihiro’s eyes, they all had similar strengths, and since neither of them could defeat the Gatekeeper of the tenth level, others should not either; elimination is just a matter of time.

"There’s movement!"

Just at this moment, as a voice spread across the crowd, Source Yoshihiro and Snow Princess both looked towards the Sword Prison. The light on the Thousand Zhang Giant Sword flickered suddenly, among the names, Gongben Yeliang’s name moved from the tenth-floor region to the eleventh.

"What? Gongben Yeliang actually broke through to the eleventh floor!"

Source Yoshihiro’s eyes flashed with a look of shock; he had just said that no one could break through, yet Gongben Yeliang did, as if slapping him in the face, painfully.

Snow Princess also couldn’t help but lightly sigh, feeling a bit lost.

"Gongben Yeliang’s Two Sword Technique seems to have improved a lot, but it should be unlikely for others to break through," Source Yoshihiro said through gritted teeth.

Buzz! Buzz!

But just as he finished, the light on the Thousand Zhang Giant Sword surged again, with Jue Mingxiang and Liusheng Bushou both passing through the tenth level, making it to the eleventh floor!

"Impossible!"

Source Yoshihiro stood in disbelief.

The crowd behind burst into uproar; most people did not expect so many to break through into the eleventh level of the Sword Prison!

"What about Ling Chen? Wasn’t that Sword King Ling Chen the young top genius who defeated Beichuan Ye? Why hasn’t he passed the tenth level?"

At this critical moment, Snow Princess and Source Yoshihiro were transported out, while Gongben Yeliang and the others crossed the tenth level to the eleventh, leaving Ling Chen the only one on the tenth floor.

Ling Chen, after all, who defeated the peerless expert Beichuan Ye, and challenged Fengjian Hongyi, slaying Hundred-Eyed Demon’s clone, had extraordinary strength, supposedly surpassing the others. Plus, Ling Chen initially broke through swiftly, yet now was delayed at the tenth level, raising doubts about Ling Chen’s abilities.

"Could it be that Ling Chen is really all name, no substance?"

Both Source Yoshihiro and Snow Princess looked at Ling Chen’s name still on the tenth floor, doubting his strength as well.

"What is the master up to?"

Only Hong Ye knew that the mere tenth level couldn’t hinder Ling Chen. Besides, with Gongben Yeliang and others passing, Ling Chen couldn’t be stuck on the tenth inexplicably.

There must be some reason behind it.

At this moment, inside the tenth-floor Sword Prison.

Ling Chen was oblivious to outside doubts, even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.

Ling Chen’s body floated above the river surface, facing an expressionless handsome middle-aged man, who swung his sword again.

This time, facing such a sword attack, Ling Chen’s eyes flashed with brilliance, and he stabbed with his Thunder Sound Sword, transforming into a dazzling arc, disappearing in mid-air. ℴℴ𝘮

A hole appeared on the handsome middle-aged man’s chest, rapidly enlarged, and the next moment, his body shattered inch by inch.

Sheathing his sword, Ling Chen looked back at the completely vanished middle-aged man and bowed, respecting such a swordsman.

The reason Ling Chen stayed long on the tenth level was not that he couldn’t break through, but to spar more with this level of swordsman; such opportunities were rare, so he aimed to learn before leaving.

Having grasped the essence of the opponent’s swordsmanship, Ling Chen penetrated the man’s body to end the fight.

After defeating the handsome middle-aged man, a twisted vortex appeared ahead; without hesitation, Ling Chen darted straight into it and disappeared.

Outside world.

Ling Chen’s name surged on the Thousand Zhang Giant Sword, advancing one level, entering the eleventh-floor region.

"Ling Chen has also reached the eleventh level!"

Many experts were gleaming with appreciation. They initially doubted that Ling Chen would falter at the tenth level, surprised by his breakthrough.

"Managed to scrape past the tenth level. Ling Chen will probably only reach the eleventh level at best; that’s likely his limit."

Watching the changing names on the Thousand Zhang Giant Sword, Source Yoshihiro spoke coldly.

Beside him, Snow Princess nodded slightly. Ling Chen was well-known, but his performance didn’t quite match his reputation. It seemed, under the illustrious name, he was hard to live up to, and she also doubted Ling Chen’s ability to go far.
