Having passed through the trial of the life-and-death threshold once, found himself much more at ease afterward.

Still, the trials of the Fish-Dragon Stele were omnipresent, and he did not dare let his guard down.

Meanwhile, outside the Glazed King Tower, the geniuses under the Seven Great Emperors had mostly already been eliminated from the tower.

Those who remained inside were now few enough to count on one hand.

Up to this point, Young Lord Zhen's performance had undoubtedly been the most brilliant of all. He had astonishingly pushed all the way to the ninth Glazed Stele.

According to everyone's initial expectations, Young Lord Zhen was sure to hit a wall at the ninth Glazed Stele.

But now, roughly ten days had passed, and Young Lord Zhen was perfectly unscathed, standing firm throughout. He had not been eliminated.

Apart from Young Lord Zhen, the most dazzling figure was naturally Young Master Ji, the Third Son. In the Battle Secret Realm, he too seemed to thrive like a fish in water, racking up consecutive victories on the battle arena and making tremendous progress.

It was said that Young Master Ji, the Third Son, would challenge the eighth Glazed Stele once more during the final three months.

Up to now, Young Master Ji and Young Lord Zhen were the only two geniuses who had conquered the seventh Glazed Stele. As for the rest, they had either not yet attempted the seventh or had already been eliminated.

At this point, the biggest suspense inside the main tower of the Glazed King Tower was naturally whether Young Lord Zhen could conquer the ninth Glazed Stele. The second-biggest question was whether Young Master Ji, the Third Son, could conquer the eighth Glazed Stele and become yet another dark horse after Young Lord Zhen?

If this question had been posed before anyone entered the Glazed King Tower, everyone would have laughed at it as a joke.

But now, no one dared say that Young Master Ji had no chance at all!

The potential this fellow was displaying was truly astonishing. Who could have predicted that someone like , the top name on the Young Lord rankings, would be eliminated before Young Master Ji?

Who could have guessed that Ji, ranked twenty-first, would conquer the seventh Glazed Stele, while , ranked first, would ultimately fall short at the very end?

The path of martial arts was precisely these moments of suspense that made it more exhilarating, allowing more legends to emerge.

Overall, this edition of the Glazed King Tower tournament had produced a remarkable number of geniuses — the average caliber was truly exceptional.

In past editions, having one or two geniuses conquer even the sixth Glazed Stele was considered a remarkable achievement.

This time, a full six people had conquered the sixth.

As for the seventh Glazed Stele, no one had conquered it in thousands of years, yet this time two had done so. And both still possessed limitless potential to advance further.

By that measure, this edition of the Glazed King Tower tournament could truly be called a generation overflowing with talent.

At this moment, concentrated his mind and merged once again into the artistic conception of the ninth Glazed Stele. But this time, his mind was noticeably clearer.

Those negative emotions, those images straddling the line between reality and illusion — none of them could invade his Sea of Consciousness anymore.

After that harsh lesson, his Sea of Consciousness seemed to have undergone a dramatic elevation.

Going forward, the Fish-Dragon Stele did indeed present many new variations and numerous trials. Yet 's spiritual sense had seemingly been transformed overnight. The chain-type seal appeared to have awakened a layer of protective power, making his Sea of Consciousness several times more resilient.

No matter how ferocious the Fish-Dragon Stele's trials became, no matter how complex the variations, remained immovable as a mountain, guarding his Dao Heart without wavering.

This state of mind carried him through the next half month without so much as a ripple of disturbance.

This transformation caught even himself off guard. Every time the Fish-Dragon Stele unleashed its intimidation or spiritual attacks, they were utterly annihilated by the chain-type seal within his Sea of Consciousness.

As a result, the trials of the Fish-Dragon Stele suddenly seemed as though they had been weakened.

But understood clearly that the trials had not actually weakened — if anything, there were faint signs of intensification.

It was simply that after enduring that ordeal, his spiritual sense had undergone a qualitative elevation, which made the Fish-Dragon Stele's intimidation comparatively far less effective.

Calculating the time, of the one-month trial period, only the final three days remained.

"Those last three days will surely bring even more savage trials. These three days will determine whether I can enter the Six Inheritance Palaces."

The ninth Glazed Stele had previously stated that anyone who crossed this threshold was a True Dragon of the Nine Heavens. Those who could not were mere fish among the masses.

did not subscribe to such an extreme viewpoint, but he refused to become the "fish" others spoke of.

"Those last three days — even if the sky collapses, I, , will shoulder it without flinching!"

He truly felt no fear. Having come this far, he was already beyond intimidation. His mindset was perfectly composed as he welcomed the arrival of the final three days.

The trials of these three days indeed escalated significantly once more.

On the first day, felt as though he had been thrust into a boundless ocean, battered by countless whirlpools and towering waves. He felt like a lone leaf adrift on the vast sea, liable to be swept away without a trace at any moment.

But kept a single spark of awareness undimmed, maintaining complete clarity of spiritual sense throughout, refusing to be conquered by the overwhelming trial.
