After passing through the rapid arrow corridor of the second level, Zhang Ruochen stepped on the hard ground and came to the third level.
Pushing open the iron gate at the third level, a pool measuring one foot square appeared in front of him. There was a crystal clear jade tablet standing beside the pool. A line of words appeared on the jade tablet: "Count the number of ripples in the pool. The error
No more than ten ripples.”
"What does counting ripples mean?"
Before Zhang Ruochen could react, he heard the sound of falling water.
"Boom!"
A silver coin fell from the top of the pool and hit the calm surface of the pool.
In the pool, circles of ripples immediately appeared, surging from the center to the edge of the pool.
Although Zhang Ruochen didn't understand the meaning of this level, he immediately stared at the water and counted the number of ripples, "One, two, three..."
The ripples become thinner and weaker, making observation more difficult.
"This is a test of the warrior's mental strength, observation, judgment, and willpower!"
Zhang Ruochen's eyes became increasingly dry and even stinging, but he still stared at the surface of the pool without looking away.
It seems to be a very simple thing, but it contains the great truth of martial arts.
First, the mental power. If the mental power is not strong enough, you will not be able to see the subtle changes in the ripples.
Second, observation. Only people with keen observation can see each ripple clearly. This is because after the ripples spread from the center, they hit the iron wall beside the pool, and then began to flow in the opposite direction. To a certain extent,
Affects the warrior's observation. People who are not observant enough will definitely panic when the water pattern surges back, and thus fail at this level.
Third, judgment. As the ripples become weaker and weaker, it even seems that the water surface is completely calm. This is the time to test the warrior's judgment. When will the water surface be truly calm?
Fourth, willpower. When the mind is highly concentrated and the number of ripples is constantly counted, human eyes are very easily fatigued. People without willpower will never be able to persist until the water surface is completely calm.
About fifteen minutes later, the water finally calmed down.
Zhang Ruochen's eyes were burning with pain. He closed his eyes and let his eyes rest for a while: "Fortunately, I have opened up the eye veins, and my eyesight is far superior to that of warriors of the same realm. Moreover, my mental power is strong, reaching level 30 or above, I can
I can clearly distinguish every ripple. This level is not too difficult for me!"
Zhang Ruochen walked to the jade stele, picked up an inscription pen on the ground, and carved a number on the jade stele.
Two thousand seven hundred and sixty-five water patterns!
"Wow!"
A white light appeared on the surface of the jade stele, and a line of words appeared:
Two thousand seven hundred and sixty-five water patterns, zero error. Pass the test.
Zhang Ruochen smiled faintly, "It is indeed the same as what I observed. However, this level is still quite abnormal. No wonder so many people cannot pass this level. This is a test of the overall quality of the warrior!"
"boom!"
The door to the third floor of the Wu Tower opens.
Zhang Ruochen walked straight in, climbed the stairs, and reached the third floor of the Wu Pagoda.
The tower light on the third floor of Wu Pagoda lights up.
At this moment, the young warriors and nine elders outside the Martial Tower were once again alarmed.
Eight of the ten warriors who originally entered the Wu Pagoda with Zhang Ruochen have been defeated. Only Xie Zhaowu from Sifang Commandery and Zhang Ruochen from Yunwu Commandery are still left to make it through the Wu Pagoda.
"Someone else has broken through the second and third levels and entered the third level of the Martial Tower. Who could it be?"
"It must be Xie Zhaowu from Sifang County."
"Yes! It must be Xie Zhaowu! Although Xie Zhaowu is not as well-known as Prince Huo Xing and Qingyou, he is still a genius at the Xuanji Realm. He has reached the Xuanji Realm at such a young age. How can he be mediocre?
generation?"
No one would think that Zhang Ruochen had passed the third level of the second level. After all, Zhang Ruochen was too young, only sixteen years old, and he was only at the middle stage of the Xuanji Realm.
Even Elder Situ nodded slightly and said: "Xie Zhaowu must have hidden his strength before, just to wait until Wu Pagoda broke through and become a blockbuster. If this boy has such a character, he will definitely have a lot of success in the future.
Achievement."
The other eight elders all had cold faces, not wanting to see Elder Situ's proud look.
Elder Situ is the leader of the warriors from Sifang County. The better the performance of the warriors from Sifang County, the more rewards Elder Situ will receive.
Elder Situ was naturally very happy when he saw the light on the third floor of the tower, and he couldn't help but feel proud.
But the next moment, the expression on Elder Situ's face froze.
"Squeak!"
The gate of Wu Pagoda opened, and Xie Zhaowu walked out of the gate dejectedly.
Xie Zhaowu raised his head slightly and saw the nine elders staring at him with wide eyes. He was startled and took a step back in fright.
What happened?
Elder Situ immediately approached him and asked, "Xie Zhaowu, how many levels have you passed?"
Seeing the domineering look of Elder Situ, Xie Zhaowu was frightened and took a step back again. After steadying his steps, he said in a trembling voice: "Reporting to the elder, I passed the second level of the second level.
We failed at the third level. Elder Situ, what happened?"
Elder Situ's face immediately turned the color of pig liver, and he even became a little angry. He shouted: "Since you failed in the third level of the second level, why did the light on the third level of the Martial Tower turn on?"
"What? The light on the third floor of the Martial Tower is on?" Xie Zhaowu was even more surprised than Elder Situ.
Elder Xie, who was standing not far away, laughed loudly and said: "Elder Situ, you must know that there is another young warrior in the martial tower. Since Xie Zhaowu failed, then it must be that young warrior who passed the second round.
The third level of the level.”
"The ninth prince of Yunwu County, Zhang Ruochen."
At this moment, everyone finally came to their senses and couldn't help but look shocked.
It would be incredible if a warrior in the middle stage of the Xuanji Realm could pass the third level of the second floor of the Martial Tower!
Only Zi Qian seemed the calmest at the scene, because no one knew Zhang Ruochen's strength better than her. It would be strange if Zhang Ruochen had not passed the second and third levels.
"Get back!" Elder Situ glared at Xie Zhaowu fiercely, and then said, "Someone, please bring Zhang Ruochen's information to me."
Elder Situ still didn't believe that a warrior in the middle stage of the Xuanji Realm could pass the third level of the second level, and wanted to check this Zhang Ruochen.
Not long after, an outer palace disciple delivered Zhang Ruochen's information to Elder Situ.
"How can it be?"
After seeing Zhang Ruochen's information, Elder Situ was so shocked that his eyes almost jumped out of his sockets.
The other eight elders looked curious. What was so great about Zhang Ruochen's information? How could Elder Situ be so shocked?
"Calm down! Calm down! Elder Situ, you are quite old. You should learn not to be surprised when things change. How can the information of a mere young genius shock you like this?" Elder Xie said with a smile.
Elder Situ's face became solemn and he said: "Don't make sarcastic remarks, come and see for yourselves."
The eight elders looked at each other and walked over, all looking at Zhang Ruochen's information.
After reading it, the expressions of the eight elders became exactly the same as Elder Situ's. They were so shocked that they were speechless for a long time.
"I only opened the Divine Martial Seal when I was sixteen, and I have only been practicing for less than a year now, right? After less than a year of practice, I have reached the middle stage of the Xuanji Realm?"
"Look here, after only practicing for half a year, he became a martial artist on the Yellow List, ranking first on the Yellow List. Oh my God! What kind of amazing talent is this?"
Although Elder Xie is the leader of young warriors from Yunwu County, he did not read Zhang Ruochen's information before.
At this moment, Elder Xie saw Zhang Ruochen's information for the first time. He opened it and cursed, "That bastard Liu Chuanshen, why didn't you tell me in advance that Zhang Ruochen was such a monster? What a pity! What a pity!"
Elder Xie was of course very depressed and regretful. If he had known that Zhang Ruochen's talent was so high, he would have accepted Zhang Ruochen as his disciple in advance on the way to bring Zhang Ruochen to Wushi Academy.
Now, it's too late!
A genius with such a high talent will definitely be accepted as a direct disciple by the dean of the West Academy, and he will not be able to turn to him at all.
Elder Xie scolded all eighteen generations of Liu Chuanshen's ancestors.
Liu Chengfeng stood not far away, with a displeased look on his face, and murmured in a low voice: "Uncle Xie is always gentle and gentle, why did he suddenly curse my father? Forget it, he is an elder, I don't
Complain with him."
Liu Chengfeng was also quite depressed.
…
Zhang Ruochen walked into the first level of the third floor of the martial arts tower and came to a closed martial arts training ground. It was very similar to the first level of the first level and the first level of the second level.
"Wow!"
On the stone wall, Luo Xu's spiritual body came out again.
Luo Xu glanced at Zhang Ruochen and said with a smile: "There is no need to fight this level! You have already passed the first level on the second floor!"
Zhang Ruochen could tell that the aura on Luo Xu's body was still at the late stage of the Xuanji realm, so he asked: "How many moves do I need to catch from my senior before I can pass this level?"
"Three moves." Luo Xu said.
Luo Xu's first move is 20% strength, the second move is 30% strength, and the third move is 40% strength.
As long as you catch Luo Xu's three moves, you can pass the first level of the third floor.
You know, when Zhang Ruochen was in the first level of the second level, he took all nine of Luo Xu's moves. Therefore, there is no need to fight anymore and he can pass this level directly.
Zhang Ruochen stared at Luo Xu and said, "I have a question in my mind!"
"I can answer you a question." Luo Xu smiled.
Zhang Ruochen said: "In the past 460 years in the West Academy, you have been the most powerful warrior in the middle stage of the Xuanji Realm, and you are still the most powerful warrior in the late stage of the Xuanji Realm. Are you the strongest among the seven realms of the Xuanji Realm?
By?"
Luo Xu said: "That was true before you appeared. But after you appear, I believe you will replace me in every realm and become the new gatekeeper of Wuta."
After saying that, Luo Xu's body turned into wisps of spiritual energy and disappeared into the martial arts training ground.
Zhang Ruochen smiled softly and walked towards the second level on the third floor.

Ouch! The old fish is asking for recommendation votes! Recommendation votes! Recommendation votes! Important things must be said three times. Haha!
