Chapter 560: Golden Name!

During these three days, Ye Yuan's nerves had been in a state of extreme tension.

In his calm-as-still-water state of mind, he continuously operated both true intents simultaneously and pushed the "Spirit Zhe Nine Sun Divine Art" to its extreme!

The burden was extraordinary!

Without the support of his calm-as-still-water state of mind, he would have given up long ago.

As the three-day deadline was about to expire, only the last batch of Iron-Armored Golden Bulls remained before Ye Yuan.

"Big brute, farewell!"

At this moment, Ye Yuan pushed the Ten Thousand Rain Sword Edge to its limit, directly consuming most of his primal power!

"Boom rumble..."

After a series of slaughters, the entire third level finally fell silent!

"Phew... these big brutes are really troublesome, but my gains this time are not small either!"

Apart from those nameless energies, Ye Yuan had also benefited greatly from operating so many skills at such high intensity.

Not to mention the two true intents—his insights had deepened.

What made Ye Yuan ecstatic was his state of mind!

He felt that his calm-as-still-water state was nearing a bottleneck; one more step and it would become calm-as-rock!

"Breaking through in state of mind is extremely, extremely difficult. Without the right opportunity, one might never break through in a lifetime. This bottleneck is not so easy to cross!" Ye Yuan sighed.

Having tasted the sweetness, the calm-as-still-water state of mind had given Ye Yuan too many benefits and help.

So now that he saw hope for calm-as-rock, he naturally wished very much to break through.

But from calm-as-still-water to calm-as-rock, though seemingly a step away, even many Divine Kings could not cross it!

This step was too, too difficult!

"Forget it, let it be. Such things cannot be forced; when the opportunity comes, it will naturally break through. Being able to cultivate the state of mind to this level is already very fortunate."

With the breakthrough in his state of mind, Ye Yuan became more open-minded about such matters.

Resting for a moment, Ye Yuan stepped toward the entrance to the inheritance space.

...

"Look, Ye Yuan has also entered the inheritance space!"

As Ye Yuan's name disappeared, someone soon called out.

They had originally given up on Ye Yuan, but unexpectedly, he had stubbornly made it this far alone!

A peerless genius is a peerless genius; no matter where, do not underestimate him, or you'll be slapped in the face!

Those who had planned to watch the joke were now secretly frustrated.

Although Ye Yuan's pace through the levels was slow, he always succeeded at the last moment, which was clearly intentional.

"So what if he entered? Others have long come out of the inheritance space and entered the fourth level! With Ye Yuan's strength, passing the first three levels is nothing remarkable, right?" some said disdainfully.

Since learning that Ye Yuan was doing it deliberately, those who had been puzzled no longer doubted his strength.

What they were curious about was why Ye Yuan did this.

Seeing this, Ren Xingchun could no longer suppress the smile on his face, and a hint of a curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The people from the City Lord's Mansion had all been eliminated, leaving only Ye Yuan.

But Ye Yuan was the City Lord's Mansion's greatest asset!

Ever since hearing Qi Hai's words, Ren Xingchun had firmly believed that Ye Yuan was the biggest dark horse in this Haotian Tower inheritance!

No, how could Ye Yuan be a dark horse?

He was originally the strongest!

Those people praised Liu Hong to the skies; in a few days, watch Ye Yuan slap them in the face one by one.

Let them see what a true genius is!

Just as Ren Xingchun was feeling pleased, someone suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Look, Ye Yuan's name has turned golden! What's going on?"

This shout immediately startled everyone!

A name turning golden—this had never happened before.

What exactly did Ye Yuan do that his name turned golden?

Everyone looked at Ye Yuan's name and indeed found it had turned a gilded color, very dazzling!

Even though he was still in the inheritance space and in last place, that radiance could not be concealed!

This abrupt change greatly surprised everyone, especially the ancestors of the three sects, whose faces showed extremely shocked expressions.

Since the establishment of the three sects, many talented disciples had been sent into this Haotian Tower, but such a situation had never occurred.

Ning Yixian, Qin Hongtao, and Jing Xuan looked at each other, clearly not knowing what was happening.

Finally, the three of them focused their gazes on Qi Hai.

Qi Hai's seniority was even greater than theirs, and his understanding of the Boundless Realm was definitely above theirs. If even Qi Hai didn't know what had happened, then no one would.

Qi Hai's expression became unprecedentedly grave, and he murmured: "This... this... no way? This... how is this possible?"

"Elder Hai, what exactly happened? What's going on with Ye Yuan's name?" Qin Hongtao asked urgently.

Everyone stared at Qi Hai, wanting to hear what answer he would give.

Such an extraordinary event could only be understood by a veteran powerhouse like Elder Hai.

Qi Hai did not answer them but was silent for a long time, as if digesting the matter.

After a long while, Qi Hai took a deep breath and said slowly: "Unexpected, truly unexpected! I never thought the legend was true!"

The people nearby had long grown impatient; could you please not pause for breath and finish in one go?

Qi Hai glanced at everyone and said, still somewhat incredulously: "Legend has it that the rewards of the Haotian Tower inheritance are distributed based on the challenger's completion rate. The higher the completion rate, the higher the reward!"

"Ah? There's such a saying? Isn't the Haotian Tower challenge about who rushes into the next level first? That's how we've always compared!" an elder of the three sects said in surprise.

In fact, not only him, but everyone present thought so.

So when they saw Ye Yuan always being the last to pass, they had long given up on him.

The reason these people praised Liu Hong so much was precisely because he was always the first to rush into the next level.

In normal perception, Liu Hong was the top among this batch, even surpassing the chief disciples of the three sects!

But now hearing Qi Hai say this, they found that it seemed completely different!

However, even Qi Hai said it was a legend; who knew if it was true or false?

Qi Hai smiled bitterly: "Actually, I always thought so too, but now I somewhat feel that our understanding of this challenge method is completely wrong!"

"Elder Hai, could you explain more clearly? This has been passed down from our ancestors; how could it be wrong? If it's wrong, then what is the correct way to challenge?" Ning Yixian also asked in confusion.

Qi Hai's expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice: "The correct way to challenge is not about speed, but about... the number of demon beasts killed!"
