Dragon Martial Sovereign-Chapter 44: Sky Star Tower Seventh Layer

The specter looked at Lin Fan and asked, "Can you see the content of the chess game clearly now?"

Lin Fan nodded without speaking.

The specter couldn’t help but sigh, "You, truly are a genius!"

Lin Fan didn’t speak, his eyes were still tightly fixed on the chessboard.

The specter continued, "However, even if you are a genius, breaking the chess game... it’s not that easy..."

Lin Fan still did not speak!

But by this time, Lin Fan had already fully mobilized the power of his Ancient Martial Soul and shrouded it over the entire chessboard of the Heaven and Earth Chess Game...

At the same time, in Lin Fan’s mind, he also began to deduce the ins and outs of the entire chess game.

In an instant, within Lin Fan’s Soul Ocean, it was as if thousands of troops were battling fiercely.

If someone with weaker control saw this scenario, they would go stray immediately.

However, Lin Fan remained calm.

Time passed, minute by minute.

It was hard to tell how much time had passed when the battle in Lin Fan’s mind finally came to a halt, and everything returned to serenity.

And in the next moment, a faint smile appeared on Lin Fan’s face, showing that he was extremely pleased, as if he had encountered the happiest thing between heaven and earth.

The specter said, "Young man, actually, it doesn’t matter if you can’t break the Heaven and Earth Chess Game, because you’ve already obtained a tremendous opportunity here. You’ve elevated your Heart Realm beyond the heaven and earth, which is a great fortune in itself, so... don’t push yourself too hard. Sometimes, giving up is also a kind of gain!"

"Hehe!"

Lin Fan chuckled and said, "Senior, I’ve just suddenly realized that breaking this Heaven and Earth Chess Game is not actually that difficult!"

"What?"

The specter was taken aback at first, and in the next moment, burst into laughter, saying, "Honestly, you’re quite arrogant! Good, I really want to see how you will break my Heaven and Earth Chess Game?"

"Okay!"

Lin Fan said with a smile.

After that, a white piece appeared in Lin Fan’s hand.

He was ready to make his move!

In the next moment, Lin Fan placed the white piece on a certain spot on the chessboard.

Boom...

After the white piece was placed down, the entire chessboard began to shake violently.

At the same time, an obscure energy suddenly appeared above the board.

When everything returned to normal, the black pieces on the board had completely disappeared, and only nineteen white pieces were quietly there...

"You, you’ve succeeded!"

The specter looked at Lin Fan and said, "I must say, your talent is truly extraordinary!"

"Thank you, Senior!"

Lin Fan said respectfully.

"That’s enough!"

The specter waved his hand and made a few swift gestures.

As the specter’s hands came to a stop, his figure also became more ethereal and eventually vanished completely.

Only the indifferent voice of the specter remained in the entire space: "Today, I entrust the Sky Star Treasure Pagoda to you. Hopefully, we may meet in another time and space. At the same time, I also hope that you can take the Sky Star Treasure Pagoda out of this time and space, because such a treasure, if left here, will only be wasted. Only after going to a higher level of time and space, can it truly display its full potential!"

As the sound ceased, tranquility returned to the surroundings.

At the same time, Lin Fan noticed a cluster of Runes appearing not far ahead.

These were the Sky Star Treasure Pagoda’s master recognition Runes.

Once Lin Fan refined these Runes, he would be the unequivocal master of the Sky Star Treasure Pagoda...

Lin Fan gazed at the master recognition Runes before him for quite some time, then slowly extended his hand and lightly tapped the Runes.

In the next moment, the master recognition Runes slowly vanished, transforming into a stream of peculiar energy that entered Lin Fan’s body.

Afterwards, things returned to normal.

Lin Fan also realized that he had formed a unique connection with the Sky Star Treasure Pagoda; he was now able to control it to a great extent...

"Sigh!"

Then Lin Fan sighed, a look of helplessness appeared on his face, and shaking his head, he said, "Even though I’ve recognized the Sky Star Treasure Pagoda as mine, my Cultivation is too weak to control it. At least, not until my Cultivation reaches the Heavenly Profound Realm, can I begin to partially control the Sky Star Treasure Pagoda!"

Once Lin Fan’s Cultivation reached the Heavenly Profound Realm, the Sky Star Treasure Pagoda could grow or shrink according to Lin Fan’s thoughts, and even be stored within his Purple Mansion.

However, because Lin Fan’s Cultivation was too weak, he was the master of the Sky Star Treasure Pagoda in name only and could not actually control it.

"Well, better increase my Cultivation as soon as possible!" thought Lin Fan.

Glancing up at the sky above the Sky Star Treasure Pagoda, there was a heavenly gate in place.

Lin Fan activated the energy within the Sky Star Treasure Pagoda; the energy morphed into clouds that slowly lifted Lin Fan up, and eventually, his figure flew out through the pagoda’s heavenly gate as he silently stood atop the tower of the Sky Star Treasure Pagoda...

...

Meanwhile, the Sky Star Plaza was still densely crowded with people.

But it was already the next morning.

Lin Fan had also spent several two-hour periods on the Seventh Layer of the Sky Star Treasure Pagoda; while he did not sense the passage of time inside, half a day and a night had already passed in reality.

Although much time had gone by!

Everyone was still waiting quietly.

Everyone was very curious, once Lin Fan passed the Seventh Layer of the Sky Star Treasure Pagoda, what kind of benefits could he possibly gain?

"Look, Lin Fan!"

Suddenly someone shouted loudly, "Lin Fan has appeared at the top of the tower!"

Everyone also looked towards the top of the tower, and sure enough, they saw Lin Fan there.

Then, Lin Fan slowly descended from the top of the tower, and finally landed firmly beside people like Elder Li Rou, Liu Junli, Cheng Lin...

Without a doubt, as soon as Lin Fan landed, the fragrance emanating from Elder Li Rou invaded Lin Fan’s nostrils once more, causing a ripple of emotions within the depths of his heart.

Nevertheless, Lin Fan quickly returned to normal.

At this time, everyone looking towards Lin Fan was filled with a sense of admiration.

Elder Li Rou said to Lin Fan, "Lin Fan, you’ve done well... I hope you continue to Cultivate earnestly."

Lin Fan nodded and replied, "Yes, Elder!"

Elder Li Rou nodded back at Lin Fan, then announced loudly, "This round of assessment has ended; soon after, the Sky Star Treasure Pagoda will give different rankings based on everyone’s performance inside, but this will take some time, so please wait patiently!"

After speaking, Elder Li Rou walked to a side, sat down with her legs crossed and began to meditate and recuperate.

As for Cheng Lin, that guy kept glancing at Lin Fan from time to time, his eyes filled with nothing but hatred. Originally, Cheng Lin thought Lin Fan was just a good-for-nothing, but now he finally realized that not only was Lin Fan not worthless, he was also an extremely formidable talent.

"I must find a way to slay Lin Fan as soon as possible. This person cannot be spared, otherwise, he will surely become a great disaster!" Cheng Lin thought to himself.

In that instant, Cheng Lin’s heart brimmed with murderous intent towards Lin Fan once more.
