Chapter 522: Chapter 0517: Copper Emblem Holy Guard Token

“…The Holy Land received a batch of new reserve members, so recently many people have attempted the first trial, but only a few have succeeded; the rest merely came to play.”

“Knowing they can’t pass yet still trying, that’s stupidity.”

A handsome Silver Emblem Holy Guard jeered.

“Brother Jiang is right,” another agreed.

Chen Yu felt somewhat uneasy and ignored their remarks.

In the Holy Land, being even one rank higher could be overwhelmingly oppressive.

Moreover, as the least valuable reserve member, among these five, four were Silver Emblem Holy Guards.

At that moment, the light on the third level of Tongyun Tower faded.

“It’s over,”

one of them said.

At the entrance to Tongyun Tower, blue light flickered, and a tall Silver Emblem Holy Guard walked out.

“Qian Guang, how did it go?”

the handsome men asked.

“I failed,”

Qian Guang sighed with a sullen expression.

“Brother Qian, to be able to last so long on the third floor proves your strength. Just gather some more experience, and you will definitely become a Golden Emblem Holy Guard,”

a Copper Badge Holy Guard said with a smile.

After Qian Guang exited, Chen Yu entered the Tongyun Tower.

“Hmm? Early Guiyuan Realm Peak.”

Qian Guang noticed someone passing by him and took a brief moment to recognize that the person was only at the Early Guiyuan Realm Peak.

To think, the first level of Tongyun Tower corresponds to the assessment for Copper Badge Holy Guards, which requires the combat strength of a Peak of Middle Stage Guiyuan Realm.

What is this Early Guiyuan Realm Peak doing here?

The next moment, Chen Yu walked into the Tongyun Tower.

“Trying to ascend the tower at Early Guiyuan Realm Peak is completely overestimating oneself,” Qian Guang scoffed.

The others knew Qian Guang was in a bad mood, and the handsome man chuckled and spoke up, “Why don’t we stay and see what this kid looks like after he fails?”

“Sure, he’ll probably come down soon,”

Qian Guang agreed.

Perhaps because he had failed, he also wanted to see others fail; he could then lecture Chen Yu, this junior, and vent his frustrations.

…

Although Tongyun Tower looked large from the outside, inside, Chen Yu felt as if he had entered a vast square, much larger than the actual tower.

Whoo-whoo!

In the sky, blue light flickered, quickly condensed into a cluster, and soon formed a figure.

The blue light vanished, and the figure descended to the ground, appearing ordinary with no notable features.

“Defeat me, and you will become a Copper Badge Holy Guard,”

the ordinary man said flatly.

Whoom!

Chen Yu didn’t bother with anything else, activating his Secret Pattern Demon Body, his body glowing black and emitting a suppressive aura of Demon Body strength.

Pulling out the Demon Flood Dragon Sword, Chen Yu exuded a fierce sword force and with a ferocious swing, he sliced through the air, unleashing a dark wind filled with demonic sword Qi.

Boom!

The ordinary man clenched his fist and threw a solid blue punch, shattering Chen Yu’s sword light with a single strike.

Immediately after, he launched an attack on Chen Yu.

He soared into the air, his fists swinging in unison, throwing down massive punches of blue light one after another, smashing down towards Chen Yu.

Demon Cut!

Chen Yu didn’t flinch, continuously swinging the Demon Flood Dragon Sword to meet the attacks head-on.

After exchanging over a dozen moves, the ordinary man realized he couldn’t subdue Chen Yu that way and swiftly moved, leaving only an afterimage in his place.

Suddenly, the ordinary man appeared behind Chen Yu, erupting with powerful spiritual power, forming a deep blue hammer, and smashing towards Chen Yu.

“He can use spiritual attacks too.”

Chen Yu was slightly surprised.

In terms of combat power, he had already reached the peak among those in the Middle Stage of Guiyuan Realm, and defeating this man was no issue.

However, spiritually, Chen Yu had a weakness; his mental strength was only slightly stronger than the average Middle Stage of Guiyuan Realm.

Whoom!

The Jade Pendant on Chen Yu’s body lit up with a holy white halo.

The spiritual attack, when it struck, was weakened by more than thirty percent by this halo.

However, the remaining spiritual attack was still enough for Chen Yu to endure.

Chen Yu felt his consciousness shake, and his mind stabbed with pain, obviously hurt by the ordinary man’s spiritual attack.

At the same time, Chen Yu’s Devil Wind Sword Technique was interrupted.

“It seems I need to use some methods to quickly finish this.”

Chen Yu’s expression turned serious.

Just then, as the ordinary man in the sky launched a powerful strike, a massive blue light fist roared down.

“Swallowing Cloud Demon Fist!”

Chen Yu stimulated the fourth demonic pattern, his left arm wrapped in demonic patterns, radiating a strong suction force, drawing demonic intent and primordial energy from all directions, forming a massive shadow of a demonic fist.

Infusing it with vast Demon Pattern True Essence, he threw a punch, sending a giant black demonic fist soaring into the sky.

Boom!

The two fists collided violently, bursting apart.

But Chen Yu’s Swallowing Cloud Demon Fist held a slight advantage.

Slash!

Chen Yu swung another sword, while his other hand activated the Blood Crystal Flame, throwing out a blossom of blood flames.

At this moment, Chen Yu launched an all-out attack using Blood Crystal Flame and other techniques, giving no breathing space to the ordinary man, lest he deploy a spiritual attack again.

During the fight, Chen Yu realized that on every aspect such as speed, combat skills, defense, movement technique, and spiritual power, the ordinary man met the standard of the Peak of Middle Stage Guiyuan Realm.

To defeat him, only being stronger would work!

Outside, the first level of Tongyun Tower suddenly went dark.

“It went out so quickly, haha!” said the Copper Emblem Holy Guard with a laugh.

“Look at you, at least the other guy held on for a while,” said a handsome man teasingly.

Qian Guang felt a bit better when he saw this scene.

Besides these few people, there was another person present, Cao Xingyue, who had also come to challenge the first level.

At that moment, Chen Yu walked out of the tower.

“Newcomer, you’ve just become a reserve member, you should be concentrating on cultivation. Wait till you break through to the Middle Stage of Guiyuan Realm, then coming to challenge the tower might give you a slim chance. Now, being only at the Early Guiyuan Realm Peak, you’re just wasting time and effort, and disturbing your mind,” Qian Guang went up to Chen Yu and said.

Chen Yu looked at him oddly; his coming to challenge the tower was none of his business, and besides, he hadn’t asked whether Chen Yu had succeeded or failed.

Qian Guang, seeing Chen Yu not apologetically admitting his mistake, but instead looking distractedly at himself, felt even more displeased inside.

“It’s Chen Yu!”

Cao Xingyue called out from a distance.

“Chen Yu, did you succeed?” Cao Xingyue walked up and asked.

Although their relationship had not been good before, after entering the Holy Land, talents from Yun Zhao Country naturally banded together, tightening the relationship among those from No Demon Academy.

At the tea party, Chen Yu had defeated Ye Chengfeng, and in Cao Xingyue’s view, Chen Yu had a great chance to pass the first level and become a Copper Badge Holy Guard.

Seeing Cao Xingyue, who was at the Middle Stage of Guiyuan Realm, asking this question, Qian Guang thought inside whether this youngster at the Early Guiyuan Realm Peak was really formidable.

But even if formidable, it seemed unlikely to get through the first level.

“I did,” Chen Yu replied.

Qian Guang stood aside, his face slightly pink, feeling embarrassed.

So it turned out this youngster had indeed succeeded in becoming a Copper Emblem Holy Guard.

The rest of the Holy Guards present gradually stopped their jesting and turned to looks of surprise.

The handsome man thought, these two can’t be acting, can they?

“Are you not talking nonsense, did you really pass the first level?” Qian Guang asked sternly.

Seeing his disbelief, Chen Yu took out a Token.

It was the Identity Token given by the elderly man when he first entered the Holy Land.

Originally blue, the Token had turned to copper yellow after a beam of dark yellow light descended from the sky and merged into it after Chen Yu passed the first level.

Copper Emblem Holy Guard Token!

Everyone present stiffened!

“That youngster really did it,” thought the handsome man internally, astounded.

Having passed the first level at the Early Guiyuan Realm Peak, such strength meant limitless potential, possibly even becoming an elder of the Sky Sea Realm in the Holy Land.

“Brother Cao, the opponent on the first level, every aspect reached the Peak of Middle Stage Guiyuan Realm. Without being exceptionally outstanding in one aspect, it’s very hard to defeat them.”

Chen Yu said a word and then left the place.

His first purpose in challenging Tongyun Tower was for resources, the second was for deterrence. He directly showed the token, believing this matter would spread quickly.

Following that, Chen Yu headed to the trading hall.

He reached the second level, showed his Copper Emblem Token, and a Silver Emblem Holy Guard immediately took it.

After a while, the other party returned the token, and also gave him two Pure Essence Pills and one hundred thousand Lower Grade Essence Stones.

“You must be new here, just at the Early Guiyuan Realm Peak, and yet you’ve obtained a Copper Emblem Holy Guard Token. Your future potential is boundless,” said the Silver Emblem Holy Guard with a smile.

As a reserve member, when Chen Yu had previously come to the trading hall, no one had treated him well.

But now, having obtained the Copper Emblem Holy Guard Token and showing incredible potential, even a Silver Emblem Holy Guard took the initiative to chat with him.

Then, Chen Yu went to the first level, planning to purchase more resources to retreat and strive for the Middle Stage of Guiyuan Realm!

“What may I call you, brother?”

Suddenly a voice came from behind, and he saw a handsome man approaching.

“Is it you?” Chen Yu slightly frowned.

This handsome man was one of those five outside Tongyun Tower; initially, he had mocked Chen Yu when he was about to challenge the tower.

Now, however, he was approaching Chen Yu on his own.

“I’m Jiang Boxiong,” the handsome man said with a friendly smile.

“Chen Yu,” Chen Yu said curtly; after all, the other party was a Silver Emblem.

“Just now outside Tongyun Tower, you really surprised us. With just the cultivation of Early Guiyuan Realm Peak, you actually passed the first level…”

The handsome man looked admiring.

“It’s only a Copper Emblem Holy Guard. Brother Jiang, you are a Silver Emblem Holy Guard,” Chen Yu replied courteously.

He could see that the handsome man wanted to make connections, probably seeing potential in Chen Yu.

But if he knew Chen Yu only had a Lower Grade Spiritual Body, he would probably turn around and leave.

Although Chen Yu did not like this man, he was still a Silver Emblem, which was somewhat useful for Chen Yu, who had no connections in the Holy Land.

“Brother Chen, what do you want to buy? I have a small stall inside the trading hall; why not take a look?” the handsome man said proudly.

“Oh? That would be very good.”

Chen Yu guessed that the handsome man wanted to win his favor by offering some benefits.

He naturally did not mind, as he was about to buy materials to retreat and strive for the Middle Stage of Guiyuan Realm. Now that someone was offering him a deal, why not take advantage?
