After passing through the second stage, the Swift Arrow Corridor, Zhang Ruochin stepped onto the hard ground, arriving at the third stage.

Push open the iron gate of the third level, and a pool one zhang square appears before your eyes. By the pool stands a translucent jade stele. On its surface floats a line of characters: "Count the number of ripples in the Shùqīng Pool. The error margin should not exceed ten ripples."

"Ripple patterns, what do they mean"

Before Zhang Ruochin could react, he heard a splash.

"Bang!"

A silver coin dropped from the top of the pool, splashing into its tranquil surface.

Circles of ripples immediately appeared on the surface of the water, radiating outward from the center towards the edges of the pool.

Although Zhang Ruchen didn't understand the meaning of this level, he immediately focused on the water surface and started counting the number of ripples, "One, two, three..."

The ripples are becoming finer and fainter, and the difficulty of observation is also increasing.

"This is a test of a warrior's mental fortitude, observation skills, judgment, and willpower!"

Zhang Ruochin's eyes became increasingly dry and even painful, yet he stubbornly stared at the surface of the pool, not shifting his gaze.

What seems like a very simple thing actually contains the principles of martial arts.

First, mental power. If one's mental power is not strong enough, they can't see the subtle changes in ripples.

Second, observation. Only those with sharp eyesight can see every ripple. Because ripples spread out from the center and collide with the iron wall at the edge of the pool, they begin to flow in the opposite direction, which affects the warrior's observation to some extent. Those who lack observational skills will surely be flustered when the ripples surge back, thus losing this level.

Third, judgment. As the ripples become weaker and the surface of the water appears completely still, it's a test of a martial artist's judgment. When exactly is the water truly calm

Fourth, willpower. When the mind is highly focused, and constantly counting the ripples, the eyes become very tired easily. Someone without willpower would be unable to persevere until the water surface becomes completely still.

About fifteen minutes passed, and the water finally calmed down.

Zhang Ruochin's eyes burned with pain. He closed his eyes, giving them a moment of rest. "Luckily, I opened up my eye meridian, my vision far surpasses that of martial artists at the same level. Moreover, my mental strength is powerful, reaching thirty stages or above. I can clearly distinguish every ripple. This level isn't too difficult for me!"

Zhang Ruochin walked to the stele and picked up a writing brush from the ground. He inscribed a number on the surface of the stele. [To read the latest chapters, please go to]

Two thousand seven hundred and sixty-five water ripples!

"Whoa!"

The surface of the jade tablet shone with a white light, and then a line of characters appeared:

2,765 water ripples, zero error. Pass.

Zhang Ruichen smiled faintly, "As I expected. However, this level is still quite abnormal. No wonder so many people couldn't pass it. It's a test of a martial artist's overall quality!"

"BOOM!"

The gate to the third floor of the Martial Tower has opened.

Zhang Ruochin walked straight in, stepped onto the stairs one by one, and came to the third floor of the martial tower.

The third level's tower lamp of the Martial Tower lit up.

At this moment, the young warriors outside the martial tower and the nine elders were once again startled.

Of the ten martial artists who originally entered the Martial Tower with Zhang Ruochin, eight had already retreated, leaving only Xie Zhaowu from Si Fang County and Zhang Ruochin from Yun Wu County still inside the tower to challenge the levels.

Once again, someone has cleared the second layer, third stage of the challenge and entered the third layer of the martial tower. Who could it be

"It must be Xie Zhao Wu from the four directions counties."

"Yes! It must be Xie Zhao Wu! Although Xie Zhao Wu is not as famous as Prince Huo Xing and Qing You, he is still a genius at the Xiaogui level of the Xuanji Realm. At such a young age, reaching the Xiaogui level of the Xuanji Realm, how could he be mediocre"

Even Elder Situ lightly nodded, saying, “Xie Zhao Wu must have been hiding his strength before. He probably wanted to make a grand entrance during the Martial Tower’s trials. This son's mindset is commendable, and he will surely achieve great things in the future.”

The other eight elders had cold faces and didn't want to see Elder Situ looking so smug.

Sistru Elder is the recruiter for warriors from the Four Directions Kingdoms. The better the achievements of the warriors from the Four Directions Kingdoms, the greater the rewards Sistru Elder receives.

Seeing the third tower light up, Elder Situ was naturally overjoyed and couldn't help but feel proud.

Suddenly, the expression on Elder Situ's face froze.

"Creak!"

The gate of the Wuta Tower creaked open, and Xie Zhaowu walked out dejectedly.

Xie Zhaowu slightly raised his head and saw that all nine elders were staring at him with wide eyes, which startled him. He took a step back in fright.

What happened

Master Situ immediately stepped forward and asked, "Xie Zhao Wu, which level have you passed"

>>

Not long after, a disciple from the Outer Palace delivered Zhang Ruochen's information to Elder Situ.

"How is that possible"

When Si Tu Changlao saw Zhang Ruochin's information, he was astonished and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

The other eight elders looked curious. What was so special about Zhang Ruochin's information that it could shock Elder Situ like that

"Calm down! Calm down! Elder Situ, you're a senior for so many years. You should learn to remain calm in the face of change. Just some data on a young genius, how can it shock you like this" Elder Xie smiled.

Master Situ's face turned serious. "Don't talk nonsense, see for yourselves," he said.

The eight elders looked at each other in surprise, then walked over and all looked at Zhang Ruochin's information.

After seeing this, the expressions of the eight elders became just like that of Elder Situ's, shocked and speechless for a long time.

"He only started his Divine Martial Mark at the age of sixteen, and it's been less than a year since he began cultivating, right In less than a year, he's already reached the middle stage of the Profound Extreme Realm"

"Look here, having only cultivated for half a year, he has become a Yellow List warrior, ranked first on the Yellow List. My goodness! What kind of prodigy is this"

Although Xie Changlao was the guide for young warriors in Yunwu County, he hadn't looked into Zhang Ruochen's information before.ong Saint-level expert presented them with all kinds of sacred fruits and fine wine.Shouchuan's gaze fell upon Xiaohui. After a careful look, he asked, "May I ask your name"Xiao Hei let out a grunt of...
