Chapter 262: The Seventh Level
Chapter 262: The Seventh Level
From the Nine Bend Mechanism Art, Su Chen had already learned numerous methods to dismantle mechanisms.
With the addition of his Heaven's Mandate as a Clever Artisan, Su Chen was confident in dismantling the medicine box.
However, there were risks involved, and any slight mistake would ruin half of the Heavenly Blossom Fruit.
But if the Supreme Elder of Yunyang Sect truly refused to hand over the key, Su Chen would try it himself.
Why should he give them what he rightfully deserved?
Moreover, the Supreme Elder spoke with such sanctimoniousness, clearly intending to snatch it.
As for the Sky Ascension Platform Training, Su Chen also planned to give it a try.
He mainly wanted to see what benefits it could bring him.
After waiting for about half an hour, the Sky Ascension Platform officially began.
The argument between the Supreme Elder and Su Chen was just a spectacle for most disciples.
People would undoubtedly prioritize themselves.
With the start of the Sky Ascension Platform Training, Su Chen naturally stopped thinking about other matters.
In front of others, a sharp glint flashed in Grandmaster Taiwu's eyes.
Today's events were like dismantling the Sect Leader's platform.
With the Earth Demon Plague eliminated, he would have time to address the issues within the sect.
Although the Supreme Elder held the title of Supreme, he knew that Yunyang Sect had its own decision-makers.
The Sky Ascension Platform had been opened, but Su Chen did not immediately enter.
If his goal was to reach the higher levels, he couldn't be too hasty.
The overwhelming auras of the higher levels were still chaotic, and rushing in would only bring him unnecessary troubles.
Not far away, Liu Xingwan approached Su Chen quietly.
Despite her efforts to stay low-key, her status and position inevitably drew attention.
"I'm sorry, but if this matter goes as expected, it's probably my Master's plan again. Senior Brother Jianyun needs this half of the Heavenly Blossom Fruit, and she definitely won't let it go so easily."
"It's nothing. This isn't the first time you've done this, it's normal."
Liu Xingwan was refuted by Su Chen's words, leaving her speechless.
She wanted to say that Su Chen had prejudices and stereotypes about her sect.
The Supreme Elder's actions today were indeed unreasonable.
In Liu Xingwan's opinion, even if Su Chen didn't need the Heavenly Blossom Fruit, others should still decide how to handle it.
How could they force others to exchange it like this?
Seeing Liu Xingwan standing by his side, Su Chen took the opportunity to ask.
"That senior said he would observe my performance on the Sky Ascension Platform to determine my talent and potential.
I wonder which level a warrior worthy of using the Heavenly Blossom Fruit should reach?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xingwan hesitated slightly.
"To advance to the Fifth Rank before thirty years old, you'll need to reach the Ninth Level on the Sky Ascension Platform, just like Senior Brother Jianyun.
To advance to the Fifth Rank before forty years old, you'll need to reach at least the Seventh Level."
The Supreme Elder's intention is for you to reach at least the Seventh Level..."
Although Su Chen had been in Yunyang Sect for over two years, he knew nothing about the Sky Ascension Platform.
Reaching the Seventh Level was a concept Su Chen couldn't grasp, and he had no standard to measure its difficulty.
"I've seen Brother Chen's abilities, and your talent and potential are exceptional.
With your abilities, the Sixth Level shouldn't be a problem.
You'll need to work hard for the Seventh Level..."
At this moment, Liu Xingwan secretly supported Su Chen in her heart.
She didn't approve of the Supreme Elder's arrangements at all.
Especially after accompanying Su Chen to investigate the Earth Demon traces in the wilderness, she understood the hardships involved.
That half of the Heavenly Blossom Fruit should belong to Su Chen, in her opinion.
Furthermore, Yunyang Sect should provide additional compensation.
Previously, when Liu Xingwan slashed the Earth Demon, she could sense that Su Chen's abilities were extraordinary.
"So, reaching the sixth level means you just have to step onto the sixth level, right?"
Su Chen asked another question, wanting to clarify the details.
Before Liu Xingwan could respond, Hall Master Zhao Li, who was standing not far away, stepped forward to continue the conversation.
"At least one and a half hours.
If one can stay on the seventh level for that long, the Supreme Elder shouldn't have any other objections."
As Zhao Li spoke, she gently tapped Liu Xingwan, who was standing beside her, signaling her to not expose the truth.
Zhao Li's tone was rather serious, as if this was indeed the case.
Most of the disciples had already stepped onto the Sky Ascension Platform, and next, it was the turn of the high-level disciples to take on the challenge.
As they spoke, Fu Jianyun also made his way towards the platform.
It was about time, and everyone should step forward.
Su Chen glanced at Hall Master Zhao Li and Liu Xingwan, and then he, too, headed towards the Sky Ascension Platform.
He wanted to see for himself how mystical the training on the platform was and how much benefit it could offer.
Su Chen was actually quite eager to find out.
Today, with so many people participating in the Sky Ascension Platform training, if they weren't gaining significant benefits, it would be hard to believe.
A core disciple like Fu Jianyun would usually disdain participating in group training.
Seeing Su Chen heading towards the platform, Liu Xingwan furrowed her brows and turned to Zhao Li.
"Being able to stay on a level for a quarter of an hour is already considered a successful ascent to that level.
Hall Master Zhao, why did you tell Brother Chen that he needs to stay for one and a half hours?"
The longer one lingers on the Sky Ascension Platform, the more difficult it becomes to stabilize their stance.
Staying on the seventh level for an hour is much harder than reaching the eighth level.
Even Senior Apprentice Brother Jianyun could only endure half an hour on the seventh level..."
Zhao Li understood that Liu Xingwan would likely ask for the reason.
"Actually, I don't have any special intentions. I just want to set a higher goal for Chen Su.
Perhaps on the seventh level, he'll find it difficult to persist after a quarter of an hour.
But thinking that he's still far from an hour, he'll grit his teeth and persevere.
Indomitable courage is also a form of talent and potential.
Don't worry, I'll pay close attention, and if he's in danger, I'll protect him."
Liu Xingwan could understand Zhao Li's explanation.
Once, she participated in a training where she heard that passing through ten trials was considered the basic requirement.
In the end, she gritted her teeth and endured until the ninth trial.
Liu Xingwan had felt a bit disappointed at the time.
Later, she learned that others reaching the seventh trial was already astonishing.
Passing four trials was considered basic, and she had misheard it as ten trials.
From this perspective, perhaps it could provide some assistance.
Hesitating for a moment, Liu Xingwan also set off towards the Sky Ascension Platform.
There was only one chance each year, and even a Celestial Prodigy like her wouldn't overlook the benefits of the Sky Ascension Platform.
Not far away, Grandmaster Taiwu had already walked over to Sun Xuerong's side.
"The Fifth Elder is quite the planner now, calculating everything.
But no matter how you calculate it, it seems it's all for the benefit of Fu Jianyun, with no consideration for the Yunyang Sect."
Upon hearing these words, Clear Cloud Elder stepped forward to respond.
"Sect Leader, don't blame the Fifth Elder. If Chen Su doesn't want to come to our Yunyang Sect, how can we give him the Heavenly Blossom Fruit?"
"How can you say it's giving it to him for free? Chen Su has greatly contributed to the Yunyang Sect.
This is the reward he deserves!"
Grandmaster Taiwu's words carried a hint of sternness.
