Chapter 4 Oops! It’s the Heartbeat…
Jiang Che ignored the surrounding chatter and strode confidently into the Ascension Pavilion.
“Young man, are you here to challenge the Pavilion too?”
As soon as he entered the main hall, a youth in his early twenties blocked his way.
Jiang Che glanced at him. The youth’s cultivation level was about the fifth stage of the Soul realm—completely beneath notice.
“That’s right. What are the rules for challenging the Pavilion?”
“Simple, you just need to defeat me and—”
Before the youth could finish his sentence, Jiang Che knocked him out with a single punch.
Without hesitation, Jiang Che continued to the second floor.
…
Upon reaching the tenth floor, Jiang Che finally began to take things a bit more seriously. The guardian of this floor was a martial artist at the peak of the Innate realm. Even though he was stronger, Jiang Che still defeated him with a single, straightforward punch.
After reaching the thirteenth floor, a young man appeared in front of him.
Jiang Che scanned him—his cultivation level was late-stage Innate realm, even weaker than the guardian of the tenth floor.
Though he found it odd, Jiang Che didn’t think much of it and once again defeated him with a single punch.
“Kid, this floor tests your gambling skills…”
Poor Luo Mingxuan was smacked aside by Jiang Che before he could finish speaking.
Jiang Che kept walking, heading straight to the fourteenth floor.
The person who appeared on the fourteenth floor surprised Jiang Che.
In front of him stood a young girl who seemed even younger than the person on the previous floor.
Her skin was fair, her features delicate, with elegant eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes. She held a silver spear, dressed in red, giving off a heroic and valiant aura.
“Hey, are you here to challenge the Pavilion as well?”
When Sikong Qianluo saw Jiang Che coming up the stairs, her eyes lit up, and she eagerly asked.
It wasn’t because of anything else—this young man was simply too handsome!
Snow Moon City was known for its beautiful scenery, and the people here were quite attractive. But in all her years, Sikong Qianluo had never seen anyone more handsome than Jiang Che.
Dressed in white, like snow, tall and elegant, with eyes like stars and lips red as cherries.
A sword hung at his waist, his figure tall and straight, exuding an ethereal aura like an immortal banished to the mortal realm.
Especially after Jiang Che had begun cultivating the Five Elements Spiritual Techniques, he carried a celestial charm that made Sikong Qianluo glance at him more than once.
Oh no!
This must be what falling in love feels like!
“Yes.”
“At last, someone worthy…”
Jiang Che nodded, his gaze sweeping over the girl.
She was about eighteen or nineteen, her cultivation had already reached the third stage of the Grandmaster realm—early stages of the Free Spirit Domain. Not bad, a little genius.
“What do you mean by that?”
Sikong Qianluo was a bit confused by Jiang Che’s cryptic comment.
“Nothing, let’s begin.”
Jiang Che shook his head, his interest slightly piqued.
“All right, be careful then!”
“Piercing Spear Style!”
Without wasting time, Sikong Qianluo leveled her Silver Moon Spear and leaped toward Jiang Che.
Her face was solemn as she immediately launched her ultimate move.
She couldn’t see through this young man at all. His cultivation was definitely not beneath hers; otherwise, he wouldn’t have made it to the fourteenth floor.
Jiang Che drew his Seven-Star Abyss Dragon Sword and exchanged several moves with Sikong Qianluo.
After a few dozen exchanges, Jiang Che’s sword flashed, and the Silver Moon Spear flew from Sikong Qianluo’s hand.
Outmatched, Sikong Qianluo fell heavily to the floor of the pavilion.
Jiang Che glanced at her before heading toward the fifteenth floor.
“Bastard!”
“Not even a hint of pity for the fairer sex!”
Watching Jiang Che’s departing figure, Sikong Qianluo gritted her teeth in frustration.
She wouldn’t forget this grudge!
“Ouch…”
Rubbing her sore ass, Sikong Qianluo frowned and headed toward a nearby chair.
…
Upon reaching the fifteenth floor, Jiang Che was greeted by the sight of a stunning beauty.
She wore a light purple gown, her features exquisite, with skin as white as jade, radiant and beautiful like a flower in bloom.
She stood about 1.7 meters tall, her figure voluptuous, with a narrow waist and shapely hips. Her abundant curves made it hard for anyone to look away.
Jiang Che glanced at her for a moment before withdrawing his gaze.
For such a peerless beauty to appear in the Ascension Pavilion, her identity was clear: she was none other than Yin Luoxia, one of Snow Moon City’s famed Four Beauties.
She had long held the top spot on Beili’s list of most beautiful women.
“Young man, care to place a little bet with me?”
Yin Luoxia’s eyes sparkled with admiration as she looked at Jiang Che, intrigued.
From Jiang Che, she couldn’t sense any fluctuation of inner strength.
There are only two possibilities—either he is a weak scholar with no martial skills, or his cultivation far surpasses my own.
Since he reached the fifteenth floor, it’s impossible for him to have no cultivation.
Though I am at the third stage of the Grandmaster realm, I can’t see through him at all. Just how strong is this youth?
Her pupils shrank slightly as she became more cautious in her thoughts.
