Chapter 171 Marquis You's Summoning
Amidst the howling wind, Chen Yuan stepped onto the sixth level of the Sky Bridge.
A huge tornado swirled around the bridge, completely enveloping his figure.
"Please select the opponent type: Warrior, Psychic Controller, Illusionist. Defeating any one of them will clear the level."
A faint sound came from within the tornado.
Chen Yuan didn't hesitate at all: "I choose the martial artist!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure flew out from the tornado. Dressed in black battle armor and wielding a cyan longsword, his eyes behind the mask coldly stared at Chen Yuan: "Universe-level, first rank? To actually reach the sixth level on your first attempt at crossing the Heavenly Bridge, you are indeed a genius."
"However, even the most talented have their limits, and your journey ends here."
These gatekeepers all seemed to possess a mysterious confidence, Chen Yuan thought to himself, but smiled and said, "If you can do it."
The black-clad gatekeeper let out a soft snort, and his figure vanished abruptly. This bizarre speed far exceeded the reaction limit of a first-order cosmic level, indicating that he had used at least ten times the time acceleration.
Chen Yuan also activated ten times the speed, instantly keeping up with the opponent's pace. His Azure Sky Sword transformed into lightning, unleashing tens of thousands of attacks in an instant.
This secret technique originates from the "Three-Foot Water" secret technique of the Thousand Winds Manual. Its principle is the skill of the "Controller" of the spiritual master, which can complete tens of millions of attacks in an instant and concentrate them into a single point to generate explosive power beyond the limit.
The enemy appeared to have been struck by only one sword, but in reality, he had been hit thousands upon thousands of times, causing his body to naturally become fragmented.
This is the true meaning of "three feet of water"—within three feet, the enemy dissipates like exploding water droplets.
However, the secret technique that had once been invincible was easily neutralized by the opponent this time. The black-clad gatekeeper smiled lightly: "Your understanding of the laws is not bad, it's just a pity that your secret technique is a bit lacking."
Chen Yuan understood that the other party was right. He was now at the cosmic level, while the Three-Foot Water Technique was merely a peak-level secret technique at the Eternal Star level.
This is equivalent to Luo Feng using a Divine Weapon in battle; he's already at the cosmic level, yet he's still using the second level of E.
It's the same as "Piercing the Sky Style".
It's not that it can't be used, but its power is definitely far inferior to that of a peak secret technique of the same level.
A peak-level secret technique at the Eternal Star level, when used at the Cosmic level, would barely be equivalent to the top-tier level.
In fact, Chen Yuan had already optimized the Thousand Winds Secret Manual to a cosmic level, and he also had all the corresponding secret techniques and moves. However, due to time constraints, he had not yet had time to practice it.
However, if the secret technique is not powerful enough, then we can make up for it in other ways.
"Time acceleration—12x speed, start!"
With a cold shout in his heart, Chen Yuan increased the speed of his sword strikes once again. The black-clad gatekeeper's expression changed slightly, and he also became extremely alert, giving it his all.
In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged blows thousands of times in the air. Unfortunately, even with Chen Yuan's all-out attack, he still couldn't break through the black-clad man's defense.
After their weapons clashed once more, the two figures separated.
"I didn't expect that your understanding of the laws of time is not high, yet your application is so exquisite." The black-clad gatekeeper said calmly, "If your attack techniques were stronger, you might actually be able to pass this level."
"As for now, you should go back and cultivate for several decades before coming back."
As the guardian of the sixth level of the Bridge to Heaven, Chen Yuan's comprehension of the laws of time is 18%, while Chen Yuan's comprehension is only 17%.
However, Chen Yuan had already grasped many of the essential principles and was superior in the application of the laws, which made his time acceleration even faster.
Unfortunately, limited by the level of his secret technique, he was still unable to break through the black-clad man's defenses; otherwise, he could have passed this test.
As soon as the black-clad gatekeeper finished speaking, he charged forward again. After thousands of battles, he believed he had figured out Chen Yuan's strengths and weaknesses, so he chose to take the initiative to attack!
Chen Yuan flashed forward and met the attack. The two clashed again, but this time the black-clad gatekeeper took the lead in attacking while Chen Yuan defended.
In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged thousands of blows again.
"Um?!"
The black-clad gatekeeper sensed something was amiss. Logically, he already knew the level of Chen Yuan's secret techniques, and given the intensity of his attacks, the opponent shouldn't have been able to withstand it for so long.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yuan's defensive ability was much higher than he had imagined.
That's for sure.
After all, Chen Yuan always kept his mental domain active, so he was observing the other party's every move.
In addition to anticipating the opponent's movements and defending in advance, he can also observe the opponent's moves and learn the application of the rules through the mental realm.
Time ticked by, and the black-clad gatekeeper used every trick in the book, employing all sorts of secret techniques, but still could not defeat Chen Yuan.
Before I knew it, thirty minutes had passed.
This was the longest battle Chen Yuan had fought since breaking through the Tongtian Bridge. The two sides were deadlocked, and neither could gain the upper hand.
However, it was during this period that Chen Yuan, through meticulous observation in the realm of the mind, had already grasped most of the gatekeeper's secret techniques.
He incorporated these insights into the original "Three Feet of Water" secret technique, finally bringing the power of this move to a level that barely reached the peak of a cosmic-level secret technique.
"It's time to end this."
In a flash of thought, Chen Yuan smiled at the black-clad gatekeeper: "Gatekeeper, thank you for your sparring with me these past few days."
"If I hadn't learned from your experience, I wouldn't have been able to elevate the secret technique to this level."
The black-clad gatekeeper frowned deeply: "You mean, in just thirty minutes of fighting, you actually glimpsed the true meaning of my secret technique? That's impossible!"
Anything is possible.
Chen Yuan solemnly said, "Although this is the first time, as a token of my gratitude, please witness the birth of this style."
Before he finished speaking, his figure had vanished like a ghost.
By accelerating time to its maximum, Chen Yuan instantly closed in on the gatekeeper, his Azure Sky Sword drawing a beautiful arc in the air, aiming straight for the opponent's vitals.
The black-clad gatekeeper snorted coldly and accelerated his own time. Although he was still slightly slower than Chen Yuan, it was enough to block the opponent's attack.
However, just as he raised his sword to meet the attack, the Azure Sky Sword suddenly transformed into a phantom, instantly piercing through the guard's defenses.
As if a gentle breeze had brushed his face, before his body could even issue a warning, Chen Yuan had already sheathed his sword.
The gatekeeper in black turned around: "What's the name of this move?"
"I named it 'Morning Dew'," Chen Yuan replied.
"Morning Dew—a good name." The gatekeeper nodded slightly, his body began to disintegrate, and finally turned into a ball of black liquid and disappeared without a trace.
Level 6, cleared!
Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, it's over."
Looking at the seventh level ahead, he shook his head helplessly: "The sixth level is pretty much the limit, and I probably won't be able to get past the seventh level."
"But since we're already here, we might as well go in and take a look."
Composing himself, Chen Yuan strode toward the seventh-floor sky bridge.
And sure enough, under the strange time acceleration of the seventh-level gatekeeper, Chen Yuan had no time to react before he was decapitated.
Failed on the seventh floor!
When Chen Yuan came to his senses, he was already in a room in the "Dusk Pavilion" of Yuxiang Mountain.
"The difficulty increase on the seventh floor is ridiculously high."
Recalling the gatekeeper's terrifying speed, Chen Yuan couldn't help but shake his head: "The opponent's time acceleration has definitely reached the fourth level of 'Tracing the Flow,' or even higher."
The acceleration range of the fourth level of "Tracing the Flow" is 16-32 times. Chen Yuan felt that the speed of that gatekeeper was definitely more than 16 times, probably close to 20 times. Only such an exaggerated speed could exceed his reaction limit.
"Everyone says that the difficulty of the Bridge to Heaven starts to increase from the seventh floor, and I've finally seen it for myself."
Chen Yuan sighed, then said, "Irene, unblock the emails and sort out the unread emails."
"Yes, Master."
Irene quickly responded: "A total of 268 emails and one call request."
"There were 113 important emails in total, from 109 King-level powerhouses and 4 Universe Venerables. The call request also came from one of the King-level powerhouses."
"Okay." Chen Yuan said casually, "Pick out a few important emails for me to see, and politely decline the rest for me."
"Yes, ma'am."
Irene suddenly whispered, then said, "Master, there is an email here from 'Nine True Kings.' I think you should take a look."
"The Nine True Kings? The creator of the 'Chenguang' secret manual!"
Upon hearing this name, Chen Yuan immediately realized, "The Nine True Kings also want to take me as their disciple?"
"That's not the case." Irene shook her head and showed the email to Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan looked closely and saw that the email read: "Chen Yuan, this is King Jiuzhen. If you see this email, please reply immediately. My teacher wants to see you."
"By the way, you can look up my teacher's name beforehand, so you won't be impolite."
Information access has been granted to you.
"My teacher's title is Lord Youhou."
Upon seeing this name, Chen Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted: "It's actually the Lord of the Universe?!"
