Chapter 640: 640

Chapter 640: The Strongest Guardian!

“The you back then?”

Lou Qianxue raised her eyebrows. She looked at the illusory handsome man with a puzzled expression.

The man smiled and said, “That’s right. Back then, I was the first person to break into the eighth level of the trial tower hundreds of years ago! I was also the strongest person among all those who had broken into the trial tower!”

“Oh? You were the strongest among all the people who had broken into the trial tower?” Lou Qianxue narrowed her eyes. “Could it be that the test on the eighth level is to defeat you?”

The man nodded with praise. “Yes, as I was the strongest among all the people who had broken into the trial tower, I have always been the strongest guardian on the eighth level of the trial tower. You have to defeat me to pass the eighth level and reach the ninth level! At the same time, after defeating me, you’ll replace me as the strongest guardian. You’ll become the assessor on the eighth level until someone appears one day to defeat you.”

“So this is the case!” Lou Qianxue muttered to herself. “It’s just that I have a question.”

“Say it.”

“You were the first person to have broken into the eighth level back then. So when you came here, who was the strongest guardian in this trial tower?”

The man revealed a bitter smile. “It was me.”

“Huh?”

“But… it was a ten times stronger version of myself back then.”

“Oh! So when you broke into the eighth level back then, you were ten times weaker than you’re now?”

“Right.”

Lou Qianxue narrowed her eyes. “Interesting. Then do you know what’s on the ninth level of the trial tower?”

The man shook his head. “I don’t. Back then, I had broken into the tower numerous times, but I kept stopping at the eighth level.”

“From the looks of it, the eighth level is indeed very difficult. No wonder Xu Tailang stopped here after three years. However, Xu Tailang is Xu Tailang, and I am I!”

Lou Qianxue straightened her face and retreated a few steps. “Get ready! Let me learn from you, the strongest guardian in the trial tower!”

“Great! I also want to see how strong a genius can be hundreds of years later.”

“Glimpse of Floating Light!” Lou Qianxue flew behind the man and chopped downward with one stroke of her sword.

“Huh? It’s impossible to hurt his illusory body!”

“Mystic Spirit Ice Crystals!”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A transparent layer of ice crystals covered every place on the eighth level of the trial tower.

However…

The illusory figure still moved at a fast speed.

Boom!

A cold gust of wind from a palm ruthlessly attacked Lou Qianxue!

“The sword can’t chop him, and the ice can’t stop him. Instead, his unpredictable moves easily hit me. It was no wonder that even Xu Tailang, who had focused on cultivating for three years, was no match for him!”

Lou Qianxue retreated a few feet and closed her eyes to ponder the matter. “How should I defeat this kind of opponent?”

“Little girl! You’re underestimating me! You’re actually thinking of something else at this moment…”

Hu!

The man clenched his fists. His illusory fists seemed a thousand catties heavy.

Boom!

With astonishing power, they forcefully attacked Lou Qianxue!

However…

Whoosh!

A huge warm wave suddenly forced him to retreat.

“Huh?” The man stopped with a stunned expression.

He saw a faint blue flame suddenly ignite the body of the girl, who was cold and harmless either. It made her look like a god of fire, who was awe-inspiring and inviolable.

The scorching flame distorted even the air.

“So hot! As if it can even burn the soul! This is an Abnormal Fire! It’s even more impressive than the Abnormal Fire I experienced last time!!!” The man looked at Lou Qianxue in shock. “What’s happening? For decades, not a single person broke into the eighth level. It’s not only rare for two people to break into the tower, but both of them have Abnormal Fires too!”

“Huh?” Lou Qianxue suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the man. “You’re saying that Xu Tailang also has an Abnormal Fire?”
