Chapter 357: Rank Eight

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

‘This space…’

Xu Ning stepped on the muddy ground, surrounded by dense branches and trees that were about a hundred meters tall.

The sky was basically covered, with only the gaps between the branches and leaves present, allowing some sunlight to seep in, preventing this place from turning pitch black.

‘Let’s go up and take a look…’

Xu Ning began to climb.

Cha cha cha…

Xu Ning moved upwards using the branches and leaves and soon arrived at the top of a giant tree.

He looked into the distance and all he saw was a sea of trees.

‘Is this the environment of this independent space…’

Xu Ning had a rough idea.

Xu Ning learned from his experience over the past half month.

The environment in every independent space was basically uniform throughout.

It was either a continuous volcanic area, a never-ending grassland, or a lone island on a lake…

The scenes didn’t have many elements.

‘There are no signs of life in this sea of trees…’

Xu Ning looked up at the sky. There were no birds in the sky, only a glowing sphere that emitted light like a sun.

‘Let’s go down and take a look…’

Xu Ning went down from the top of the giant tree and landed on the ground again.

Just like before, he began to explore the giant forest.

While searching for resources and hidden fragments, he also found the teleportation portal here.

Xu Ning walked in the dense forest.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, Xu Ning heard a strange sound, and a sense of danger rose in his heart.

Xu Ning turned around subconsciously and saw more than a dozen tentacles sticking out from a short tree, whipping at Xu Ning.

The dozens of tentacles were covered in spikes, and the surface of the spikes was glowing with green light.

“Arcane domain!”

Xu Ning immediately activated his arcane domain and covered his body with a light membrane.

Pata! Pata! Pata!

The tentacles hit the arcane domain light membrane.

‘A plant with its own consciousness…’

This was the first time Xu Ning had encountered such a creature after coming to the tower.

However, although this plant with tentacles was strange, it did not cause any substantial damage to Xu Ning.

After all, its tentacles were unable to break Xu Ning’s arcane domain light membrane.

Whoosh!

Xu Ning counterattacked.

More than a dozen wind blades slashed across, cutting off the tentacles.

Afterwards, Xu Ning stepped towards the short tree and pierced the tree trunk with a spiral wind spike. The wind attribute power destroyed most of the short tree’s vitality.

‘There seems to be something in this tree…’

Xu Ning used his perception to cut open the short tree and took out a transparent solid object.

‘What is this… Could this be the essence of this tree?’

Xu Ning sensed that the vitality of the tree was waning.

After his palm touched the transparent solid object, a notification came from the Martial Arts Panel.

…

Discovered 2 million units of energy, absorb?

Yes / No

…

‘2 million units…’

Xu Ning smiled. ‘What a coincidence. After gathering 2 million units of energy, I can advance to rank eight…’

Without hesitation, Xu Ning absorbed the 2 million units of energy.

Whoosh!

After Xu Ning absorbed the energy, the transparent solid substance in his hand instantly turned into a viscous liquid and fell onto the ground.

Xu Ning activated his arcane power and a water ball condensed in his palm.

The ball of water dispersed and washed away the viscous liquid in Xu Ning’s hand.

The current Xu Ning had learned many arcane techniques of various attributes and integrated them into his arcane domain.

The greater the number and the stronger the arcane techniques were, the more powerful his arcane domain would be.

‘It’s time to advance to a rank eight arcanist…’

Xu Ning clicked “+” beside the realm.

…

Consume 25 million units of energy to advance to a rank eight arcanist?

Yes / No

…

After Xu Ning confirmed the advancement, he felt the pleasure of advancing his realm.

‘I’m rank eight…’

Xu Ning expanded the range of his arcane domain to more than a hundred meters.

‘The limit of my arcane domain should be five hundred meters now…’

Just like the void realm true domain in the Martial Arts World, arcane domains were used to cover the enemy in one’s arcane domain and then attack and kill them.

‘I’m only one realm away from breaking through to rank nine and understanding the world origin of the Arcanist World…’

Xu Ning was a little excited.

However, Xu Ning knew very well that it was definitely not easy to advance to rank nine.

Because the energy required to advance from rank eight to rank nine was 120 million units!

This was a terrifying amount of resources.

‘I’m just one step away. I have to do my best to gather the resources, but I also have to proceed steadily…’

The more he traveled, the more Xu Ning felt that he couldn’t be complacent. He had to stay alert at all times.

But after advancing to rank eight, Xu Ning was more confident.

“Stop, hand over all the hidden fragments and I will spare your life!”

After advancing, Xu Ning was about to explore again, when he heard a shout from a distance.

‘Is there a conflict between the arcanists of the different factions…’

Xu Ning thought about it and decided to take a look.

In the dense forest.

A bald young man fled frantically, occasionally throwing out a few arcane techniques to obstruct the pursuers behind him.

The three pursuers behind him looked fierce. They looked as though they would not stop until they caught up with him.

‘Where is the teleportation gate? Why haven’t I found it yet?’

The bald youth looked at the approaching enemies behind him and was very anxious.

This bald young man was one of Xu Ning’s companions, Gao Qixuan.

“You guys are breaking the rules!”

As Gao Qixuan fled, he roared, “Before entering the tower, all parties have agreed that no one is allowed to attack each other, but you still attacked me!”

“What a joke!”

A brown-clothed pursuer sneered. “A superficial promise can be taken seriously? Over the years, the Arcanist Tower has opened countless times, and every time there is such a promise, but no one abides by it. You are using this to restrict us, what a joke!”

The three pursuers were unmoved, instead they gradually accelerated.

‘It’s over, I’m going to die here!’

Gao Qixuan felt helpless.

He was only in his thirties, but he was already a rank seven arcanist.

With his aptitude, he could definitely fight for the position of the Gao family head in the future.

It would be a shame to die here.

“I’m warning you one last time, hand over the hidden fragments and I will spare your life!”

The pursuers shouted again.

“No!”

Gao Qixuan roared.

He knew that the pursuers behind him were not trustworthy.

‘Since I can’t escape, I’ll go all out!’

Soon, Gao Qixuan realized that he couldn’t escape and steeled his resolve. ‘I’ll take them down with me!’

Gao Qixuan suddenly turned around and was about to fight to the death.

The three pursuers saw this and also pounced towards Gao Qixuan.
