High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System

Chapter 722: Chapter 376: Zi Yaozhi, Wang Ye Actually...? (Double-Length Chapter for Subscription)

Jiang Ye and his companions moved at incredible speed.

Covering a distance of a thousand miles took only a few dozen seconds before they arrived.

The area within a hundred miles of the Black Tower was shrouded in dense black fog.

The moment Jiang Ye stepped into the black fog.

"Whoosh~" The black fog surged, and silhouettes emerged one after another. Each had a commanding presence and emitted a powerful aura.

"What is this?" Jiang Ye was taken aback.

Most of these silhouettes were not people he recognized.

"They are challengers from other ancient cities," Zhao Zixuan said.

"Other ancient cities?" Jiang Ye understood.

He could tell that these silhouettes were projections brought here by some mysterious means.

If Jiang Ye guessed correctly, their images were also synchronously projected in the Black Towers of other prosperous ancient cities.

"Mo Xin!" A voice suddenly rang out.

Immediately, a rough-looking man clad in White Tiger Battle Armor strode over.

"Wei Guang?" Mo Xin’s expression shifted slightly.

"Hehe, Mo Xin." The rugged man smiled and said, "You seem to have gotten stronger again. Which layer are you planning to climb this time?"

"The same as last time." Mo Xin replied lightly.

"Still the 9th Layer?" The rugged man Wei Guang shook his head and said, "Mo Xin, you’re the strongest powerhouse in Black Obsidian City, you should at least aim for the 10th Layer, or you’ll be looked down upon."

"Wei Guang, there’s no need to provoke me."

"Forcing your way through the tower comes with life-threatening risks." Mo Xin said indifferently, "Those who overestimate themselves will surely die."

"I was just reminding you." Wei Guang shook his head and said, "I didn’t expect the foremost of Black Obsidian City to grow more timid each year."

Mo Xin snorted coldly and ignored him, moving away to stand beside Jiang Ye.

"Brother Mo, who was that just now?" Jiang Ye asked curiously.

"Wei Guang from White Obsidian City." Mo Xin snorted coldly, "He’s my rival. In the past, he also reached the 9th Layer and seems prepared this time to attempt the 10th Layer."

A hint of struggle flashed in his eyes.

Obviously, Mo Xin also had a strong desire to reach the 10th Layer.

However, the Black Tower is perilous.

Though there’s a chance to defy fate, there’s also a deadly catastrophe.

"Brother Mo, there’s no need to force it." Jiang Ye comforted, "As long as you reach the 9th Layer, you can advance to the Huanglong Main Star without risking your life on higher layers."

"You’ve got it wrong."

Mo Xin shook his head and said, "If one can reach higher layers of the Black Tower, after advancing to the Huanglong Main Star, they can receive better treatment."

"That’s also why the heavenly talents from other ancient cities are keen to challenge higher layers."

Jiang Ye realized.

"So, Brother Mo, are you planning to attempt the 10th Layer?" Jiang Ye asked curiously.

"The risk of the 10th Layer is too high." Mo Xin shook his head and said.

Beside him, the cold and frosty Zhao Zixuan also said, "Even if Wei Guang is prepared, he may not be able to reach the 10th Layer."

"In White Obsidian City, only three prodigies have surpassed the 10th Layer."

"Wei Guang is not among them," Zhao Zixuan said.

Jiang Ye nodded slightly.

The 10th Layer of the Black Tower is probably a rather significant threshold.

Just as the group was talking.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

A few more silhouettes emerged from the black fog, each emitting an extremely powerful aura upon their appearance.

In an instant, a terrifying sense of oppression spread, enveloping the entire scene, making everyone feel like they were gazing up at a lofty mountain.

"Such strong pressure."

"Who are they?"

"They are the heavenly talents from White Obsidian City!"

"The top three prodigies of White Obsidian City." Everyone changed their expressions and looked over in that direction.

Three prodigies, two men and one woman.

Among them, the woman wore a white veil, her eyes were as tender as water, her flawless white face was pure and unblemished, standing at the forefront of the three.

"It’s Princess Bai Xi."

"She reached the 12th Layer of the Black Tower last time." Wei Guang’s expression was full of fervor, "Her strength is second only to Zi Yaozhi."

"Bai Xi is truly the top prodigy of our White Obsidian City."

Wei Guang fixedly stared at the veiled woman, mumbling, "If I could gain Princess Bai Xi’s favor, I’d die without regret..."

As a genius of White Obsidian City, Wei Guang not only respected Bai Xi but also admired her.

"Bai Xi?" Jiang Ye focused his gaze.

In the next second, Jiang Ye’s expression tightened slightly.

He sensed a frightening threat from the veiled woman.

Powerful!

Not just Bai Xi; the two people behind her also gave him a sense of unfathomable depth.

"Extremely formidable." Jiang Ye thought to himself.

For him, that was an exceptionally high evaluation.

Even the likes of Zhou Xingkong and Chu Jingye had never received such high praise from Jiang Ye.

With the appearance of Bai Xi and her companions, all the heavenly talents on the scene seemed oppressed, and no one dared to step forward.

Yet at this moment.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

A few more silhouettes emerged, clad in purple armor, and their aura was no weaker than Bai Xi and her group.

These silhouettes stood face to face with White Obsidian City’s group, forming a subtle confrontation.

"They are the heavenly talents from Purple Obsidian City," Zhao Zixuan conveyed, "Purple Obsidian City and White Obsidian City have the most geniuses and are the strongest among the Twelve Ancient Cities."

Jiang Ye nodded slightly, having already noticed.

In the black fog, most are of the caliber of Zhao Zhen and Bai Wei.

Only a few reached the 9th Layer of the Black Tower.

But only the talents from Purple Obsidian City and White Obsidian City have passed the 10th Layer.

"Bai Xi."

"Are you planning to attempt the 13th Layer this time?" The leading purple-armored youth from Purple Obsidian City looked toward the White Obsidian City group.

The woman in the white veil named ’Bai Xi’ replied indifferently, "My goal is not just the 13th Layer."

"Oh?"
