Ning Yuxin was troubled.
Since returning yesterday, an image kept appearing in her mind.
Something she had never experienced since childhood.
Some fear, but mostly curiosity and confusion.
Why was this person so strong? Who was this mysterious youth?
Why did he spare the four of them?
These thoughts kept her awake all night, unable to focus on cultivation.
She struggled during the Xuanzhong Tower challenge today.
Stopping at the thirty-third floor, feeling overwhelmed.
In past years, she had climbed to the thirty-fourth floor before resting.
After this challenge, her father would surely scold her.
While she was lost in thought, a sudden voice called from behind.
Ning Yuxin turned sharply, pupils shrinking.
"Ah... it's... you!"
She instinctively gasped.
Jiang Feng's sudden and unbelievable appearance startled her.
This was Flowing Breeze Sect, with all the high-level experts watching below the tower.
How did he appear here?
And why here?
Ning Yuxin was completely dazed.
Her daze was bad enough, but when profound energy stopped, her balance was broken!
Boom...!
The crushing pressure of thirty-three times descended instantly!
Ning Yuxin grunted and nearly fell.
"This... this is trouble."
Thirty-three times pressure was enormous.
A moment's distraction could crush her Qi Sea.
If that happened, her cultivation would be ruined.
When she tried to circulate profound energy again, she found it completely suppressed by the immense pressure.
Damn! This was it!
But the next moment, she felt herself pulled into a warm and wide embrace.
Ning Yuxin blinked twice, then realized she was held in someone's arms.
"You... let go of me!"
Her face flushed bright red.
She tried to resist but had no strength.
The moment of weakness and the tower's power had struck her hard.
"Are you sure you want me to let go?"
Jiang Feng smiled lightly.
"In this pressure, you can't circulate energy to protect yourself. Do you know what will happen if I let go?"
He hadn't expected Miss Ning to react so strongly upon seeing him.
Could she have forgotten the Xuanzhong Tower challenge?
Women's minds are hard to read.
"Ah...?"
Ning Yuxin was stunned.
The crushing pressure vanished temporarily.
Obviously, Jiang Feng was shielding her.
"Can you... take me down the tower?"
Ning Yuxin whispered timidly.
She didn't know what to do.
Today was humiliating.
"Sorry, I'm challenging the tower too. If I go down, I fail."
Jiang Feng shrugged, smiling lightly.
"Then... what do you want to do?"
Ning Yuxin grew anxious.
"Just stay still; it'll pass soon."
Jiang Feng was casual.
Ning Yuxin was both shy and annoyed, yet helpless.
Her ears were red as if bleeding.
Far below, watching them, whispers of intimacy spread.
The crowd below was dead silent for three breaths, then erupted in shock.
"No way! My dream goddess Senior Sister Ning is in someone's arms? Is this an illusion?"
"Damn! Why is this outsider holding our senior sister?"
"Unbelievable! I can't tolerate this, I must fight him!"
"Cough cough... calm down! She's on the thirty-third floor. You're lucky to be at twenty."
"Damn! Why him? Why can he hold our Ning fairy?"
"Broken heart! Look, Senior Sister Ning doesn't resist him at all."
"Ah... I think I understand why he's allowed to challenge Xuanzhong Tower."
At this moment, all the Flowing Breeze Sect disciples were stunned.
Originally furious, many wanted to confront the rude outsider.
But seeing him reach the thirty-third floor, and Ning Yuxin's calmness, they reluctantly gave up.
They could only glare with anger and jealousy.
Not only the tens of thousands of disciples were stunned, even the elders on the platform were baffled.
What was going on?
Did Yuxin have a lover?
She didn't seem forced.
This was unheard of.
All the elders looked at the sect master seated in the main seat, now frowning and standing.
"Sect Master, look at this..."
"Enough! I know nothing!"
An elder tried to speak but was cut off coldly by Sect Master Ning.
He then vanished, reappearing on the thirty-third floor.
"You reckless girl, shameless! Come to me immediately!"
A cold voice abruptly cut the romantic mood between the two young people.
Ning Yuxin looked up sharply.
Seeing her father's arrival, her beautiful face blushed even more.
"Father, it's not what you think, daughter... I..."
Ning Yuxin tried to explain.
"We'll talk later!"
Sect Master Ning shot her a glare.
"Mm."
Ning Yuxin immediately slipped from Jiang Feng's embrace.
With her father present, the thirty-third floor was safe.
Sure enough, when Ning Yuxin left Jiang Feng, the crushing pressure from the tower vanished as if it lost effect.
"Jiang Feng, young friend, sorry for the trouble. You may continue."
Sect Master Ning restrained his anger.
He swept his sleeve and took his daughter away from the thirty-third floor.
He had wanted to come up and punish Jiang Feng.
But upon arriving, he saw his daughter had suffered great internal injuries.
Remembering what had happened, he realized Jiang Feng was not to blame.
His daughter's distraction caused her injury.
Jiang Feng saved his precious daughter.
So in a way, Jiang Feng had saved his daughter's life.
But even knowing this, Sect Master Ning still felt uneasy seeing his daughter held by another.
Flowing Breeze Sect disciples expected a scene when the sect master appeared.
But the result surprised them.
Sect Master Ning did not blame Jiang Feng.
Instead, he kindly let the youth continue climbing.
What did this mean?
Had the sect master accepted their relationship?
After all, if he didn't approve, how could this outsider challenge the tower?
At this moment, disciples' hopes turned to heartbreak.
Jiang Feng, however, was unfazed.
He just thought holding Ning Yuxin felt good.
She had been hurt by a distraction; he was just helping.
His main goal was still the Xuanzhong Tower challenge.
To obtain that Heaven-Rank secret body technique!
Seeing the attitudes of Sect Master Ning and others, the tower's importance was clear.
He decided to climb even higher.
At the start, he used no profound energy to protect himself.
Purely relying on his body to endure.
He felt strain only after the twenty-fifth floor.
Then he circulated profound energy and continued.
Next moment, Jiang Feng adjusted his breath and prepared to climb again.
"Damn it! What's your relationship with Yuxin? How dare you hold her?"
Suddenly, an angry voice came directly into Jiang Feng's ears.
Was this profound skill sound transmission?
Jiang Feng looked up to the thirty-eighth floor.
There stood a handsome man glaring icily at him.
That was the one who had spoken through profound skill sound transmission.
Jiang Feng glanced at him.
Was he Ning Yuxin's follower?
Jiang Feng sneered and ignored him.
He climbed to the thirty-fourth floor without looking back.
Boom!
Pressure intensified again.
Jiang Feng circulated profound energy to resist and sense the immense force.
"Damn you! Wait until you get off the tower, I'll make you regret it."
The man shouted again through profound skill sound transmission.
Jiang Feng frowned.
This was Flowing Breeze Sect territory.
He was a guest and didn't want to deal with this barking dog.
But the dog kept yapping endlessly.
"Does Flowing Breeze Sect keep dogs? Why do I hear one barking at me?"
Jiang Feng shouted loudly.
The man's face on the thirty-eighth floor turned black as coal.
"Good! You damned outsider!"
He had been popular among disciples all his life.
Today someone insulted him as a dog!
"Wait! I'll remember you!"
The man resumed climbing, planning to teach Jiang Feng a lesson after the challenge.
Jiang Feng smiled and ignored him.
Such an arrogant follower deserved a beating to shut him up.
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of disciples below gradually understood the situation.
They guessed Jiang Feng was exchanging insults with the genius on the thirty-eighth floor!
"Haha... this outsider is too arrogant. Who does he think he is?"
"Right! First rude to Senior Sister Ning, now to Brother Zhao. Too bold!"
"So what if his body is stronger? Who cares?"
"Exactly, his cultivation is only Royal Profound Realm Perfection. When he gets off, I'll easily defeat him!"
"Go Zhao Mingmeng! Show this guy Flowing Breeze Sect's power!"
"Hurry! Let this outsider see our strength!"
Hearing the cheers, Zhao Mingmeng's eyes glinted coldly, his anger rising.
But he dared not speak more.
Jiang Feng's skill at voice evasion was strong, and fighting on the tower was inconvenient.
He snorted coldly and sprinted upward.
Jiang Feng chuckled twice and calmly followed.
"Wow! Brother Zhao is amazing — already at the fortieth floor, breaking his own record!"
"Senior Sister Ning's record is forty-one floors. Looks like Brother Zhao will beat it!"
"Go Zhao!"
"That outsider is already at the thirty-fifth floor but looks close to his limit."
Soon, Zhao Mingmeng stepped onto the forty-first floor — tying Ning Yuxin's record.
The Flowing Breeze Sect disciples cheered loudly.
Zhao Mingmeng smiled proudly, glancing disdainfully at Jiang Feng on the thirty-fifth floor.
Only thirty-five floors, barely.
Every ten floors on Xuanzhong Tower is a milestone.
From thirty-ninth to fortieth floor was like a chasm.
If not for his talent and diligence, Zhao Mingmeng would have struggled to reach this floor.
One more floor and he would surpass Ning Yuxin to become the new young senior brother.
Then Ning Yuxin would surely regard him highly.
Realizing this, Zhao Mingmeng pushed all his strength, speeding upward with body movement Combat Technique.
Tap tap tap!
His right foot stomped heavily.
Pressure intensified sharply.
He nearly lost his footing.
Fortunately, he gritted his teeth and stood upright.
He made it!
Zhao Mingmeng reached the forty-second floor.
Flowing Breeze Sect disciples cheered again.
After ten breaths, he retreated due to overwhelming pressure.
Back to the forty-first floor.
Retreat meant the challenge ended.
Still, Zhao Mingmeng's final result was the forty-second floor — a new record for the sect.
He walked down victoriously.
"Don't push too hard! Don't ruin your cultivation on the tower. Know your limits!"
Passing Jiang Feng on the thirty-sixth floor, Zhao Mingmeng teased.
Jiang Feng just smiled and continued climbing without looking back.
Zhao Mingmeng glared fiercely but could do nothing.
"Alright, no more pretending! Time to get serious!"
Jiang Feng said with feeling.
He stretched his limbs, cracking bones loudly.
Hearing this, Zhao Mingmeng almost stumbled.
He looked back angrily.
But Jiang Feng kept climbing.
Zhao Mingmeng gritted his teeth, anger simmering.
"Pretend all you want! With your cultivation, how far can you go? Top out at thirty-ninth floor at best!"
After Zhao Mingmeng left, he became the front-runner on the tower.
Next, Jiang Feng stepped onto the thirty-seventh floor.
Pressure increased greatly.
No hesitation, he kept climbing.
Thirty-eighth floor!
A burst of speed took him to the thirty-ninth floor!
Three floors in a moment, leaving Flowing Breeze Sect disciples stunned.
What was going on?
Had the tower's pressure vanished?
How could this outsider be unaffected?
Already at thirty-ninth floor?
Pretty fast!
Was he trying to reach the fortieth floor directly?
"This is your last struggle. Let's see how badly you fall at the fortieth floor!"
Zhao Mingmeng coldly watched Jiang Feng's back, sneering.
Countless eyes watched.
Step.
Jiang Feng stepped without hesitation onto the fortieth floor.
His body trembled slightly but barely.
Then he stepped upward again.
Step.
Forty-first floor.
Step.
Forty-second floor.
Forty-third floor.
Forty-fourth floor.
Forty-fifth floor.
"Impossible!"
Zhao Mingmeng's pupils contracted; he gasped.
"No way!"
Countless Flowing Breeze Sect disciples stared dumbfounded.
"Is this guy a monster?"
The elders were so shocked their beards nearly fell off, unable to react.
Sect Master Ning and Ning Yuxin were utterly speechless from shock...
