Chapter 244 Level 2

In a flash of inspiration, the world in front of Ye Fan changed again. He found himself in a vast wilderness. The surrounding scene was completely different from the battlefield in the first level. It was as if he had entered another world. The sky above his head was boundless, with dark clouds rolling, oppressive and heavy, and the whole space was filled with a murderous atmosphere.

Ye Fan looked around and found that Lina beside him had disappeared. "Lina?" He called out in a low voice, but there was silence all around, and only the sound of the wind responded to him.

A trace of uneasiness flashed through his heart, and Ye Fan clenched the sword in his hand and observed his surroundings vigilantly. He didn't know what the test of this level was, nor did he know whether he would have to face a more severe challenge than the first level.

Just as he was confused, a low and majestic voice suddenly came from the void. The voice seemed to come directly into his ears from the sky, bringing with it an endless sense of oppression.

"The second level is to challenge the realm and strength of the previous Tianxing Sect's leaders when they were young."

This voice seemed to carry some kind of irresistible power, and Ye Fan's heart suddenly tightened. Challenging the successive masters of the Tianxing Sect? And with their strength when they were young? This is undoubtedly an extremely difficult test. As a large sect with a long history, the Tianxing Sect's masters are all extremely talented and powerful.

"This is a direct test of my potential and strength..." Ye Fan pondered in his heart. He knew that the previous masters of Tianxing Sect must have been extremely talented when they were young. Although it was a challenge to their realm at that time, it meant that he had to face the strongest group of people in the history of the sect.

"You will be facing the ninth generation leader of the Tianxing Sect - Situ Lei, who is at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Stage."

As the voice fell, the sky suddenly began to shake violently, and a strong spiritual light condensed from the void. After a moment, a tall figure slowly appeared in front of Ye Fan.

He was an extremely majestic man, wearing a simple Taoist robe, with a fierce look between his eyebrows, as if he controlled the power of heaven and earth. Although he looked very young, his eyes were as deep as the sea, revealing an endless sense of vicissitudes, as if he had experienced countless storms.

"Is this Situ Lei..." Ye Fan's heart was shocked. The man in front of him obviously possessed great strength. Although his realm was only the early Nascent Soul stage, his aura was far beyond that of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators. It was as if every wave of spiritual energy carried the power of heaven.

Situ Lei slowly raised his head and looked at Ye Fan, with a faint scrutiny in his eyes. His aura was steady and powerful, like an unshakable mountain that made it difficult for people to approach him.

"Youngsters, are you ready to take the test?" Situ Lei's voice was cold and majestic.

Ye Fan took a deep breath, clenched the sword in his hand, and his eyes gradually became firm. "Senior, I'm ready." He knew it would be a tough battle, but a fearless fighting spirit rose in his heart. Only by passing this level can he prove that he is qualified to join a powerful sect like Tianxing Sect.

"Very good." A trace of appreciation flashed in Situ Lei's eyes, and then he raised his hand slightly, and the spiritual energy around him surged up instantly, rolling up countless strong winds. The next second, his figure rushed towards Ye Fan like a stream of light and lightning.

"So fast!" Ye Fan was shocked and instantly mobilized the spiritual power in his body and quickly retreated. At the same time, the sword energy swept out, trying to block the opponent's attack path.

However, Situ Lei was extremely fast, his movements were simple and sharp, without any unnecessary moves. He just lightly tapped his finger, and a lightning bolt of spiritual energy flashed in the air, carrying the power to tear through space and rushing towards Ye Fan.

"Hiss--" Lightning flashed through the air, Ye Fan reacted quickly, dodging the attack. But the powerful momentum brought by the lightning still made him feel shocked, and he secretly marveled at Situ Lei's strength.

Ye Fan knew that he could no longer passively defend himself. Only by taking the initiative could he break the current situation. He suddenly mobilized all the spiritual power in his body, stepped forward, and the whole person was like a sharp sword, rushing straight towards Situ Lei.

"Watch me!" Ye Fan shouted in a low voice, and the long sword in his hand emitted a dazzling light, gathering into a powerful sword energy, which pierced Situ Lei's chest with an incomparable momentum.

A hint of admiration flashed in Situ Lei's eyes, but he was not afraid at all. He just flipped his palm lightly, and a huge lightning barrier instantly condensed in front of him. Ye Fan's sword energy suddenly hit the barrier, but was completely swallowed up by the power of lightning and could not move forward at all.

"As expected, he is the leader of the Tianxing Sect..." Ye Fan's heart sank, knowing that he could not underestimate the enemy. Although Situ Lei was only as strong as he was when he was young, he was the future leader after all, with rich combat experience and both offensive and defensive capabilities, so he had to go all out.

Situ Lei did not give Ye Fan too much breathing space. A flash of light appeared in his hand, and a lightning spear condensed from his palm. Then he suddenly threw it out at a speed that was too fast to catch up.

"Bang!" Ye Fan dodged with all his strength, but the spear still brushed past his shoulder, causing a burst of pain. Ye Fan gritted his teeth, forced himself to stabilize his body, and his eyes became calmer.

"This is only the second level, I must win!" Ye Fan took a deep breath, adjusted his breath, and the fighting spirit in his eyes rekindled. He understood that this level was not only a test of his strength, but also a comprehensive test of his will and fighting skills.

The two continued to fight fiercely in the venue, the spiritual energy fluctuated violently, and the entire space was stirred by their battle like a storm. Ye Fan was forced into danger by Situ Lei's offensive again and again, but every time he was able to avoid it at the critical moment, or find a flaw to counterattack.

Finally, after a fierce confrontation, Ye Fan seized a slight gap in Situ Lei's defense and thrust his sword out suddenly, hitting his vital points.

"Bang!" Situ Lei's figure turned into a ball of light and instantly dissipated into the air.

Ye Fan stood there, panting and looking around. The entire battlefield instantly returned to calm. He knew that he had passed the test of this level, but the next challenge was still waiting for him.

"The successive leaders of the Tianxing Sect are truly geniuses among geniuses..." Ye Fan secretly sighed, but he also felt an invisible pressure slowly increasing.

"The next level will be a bigger test." He whispered, then walked towards the third level.

Outside the tower, in the square of the Tianxing Sect, everyone was nervously watching the ancient inheritance tower. The tower was soaring into the sky, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, and each floor symbolized a different level of difficulty. As the most rigorous part of the Tianxing Sect's entrance examination, this tower has witnessed the fall and rise of countless geniuses.

At this moment, a large number of disciples and elders gathered in the square, their eyes all focused on the tower, and everyone's expression was filled with anticipation and nervousness.

"It's been so long, and Ye Fan and the others haven't come out yet." A disciple whispered, with a bit of uneasiness and admiration in his tone. Everyone knew that every test in the tower was unprecedentedly severe, and the longer the delay, the more difficult the test would be.

"The first level is just a basic strength confrontation, the second level is not so easy to pass." Another older disciple next to him said, with some complicated emotions in his eyes. Although he himself had also experienced the assessment in this tower, compared with Ye Fan's performance, he knew that his ability was just ordinary among ordinary people.

Several Tianxing Sect elders stood on the other side of the square, looking equally serious. In particular, the old man with a flowing white beard, who was leading the group, stared at the direction of the tower with a serious look, gently waving the whisk in his hand, as if waiting for some important moment.

"Ye Fan is really extraordinary." The war goddess-like elder standing at the front said softly, her eyes full of admiration and praise. She was dressed in silver armor, heroic and heroic, and exuded a strong pressure, which made the disciples around her feel in awe. She was an idol in everyone's mind and one of the few top masters in Tianxing Sect.

“He was able to hold out in the tower for so long. It seems his potential is far beyond that of ordinary people.” Although her voice was low, the elders standing beside her nodded one after another.

"Yes, the test in this tower is the most rigorous test of potential and character, and his performance has exceeded my expectations." Another old man said, his eyes full of deep thought. He is the great elder of the Tianxing Sect, holding many powers of the sect. He rarely comments on the assessment of newcomers, but this time he obviously attaches great importance to Ye Fan.

“However… the test of the second level is, after all, to fight against the fighting power of our sect’s successive leaders when they were young. Even if one is extremely talented, it may not be easy to pass.” Another elder nearby raised his doubts with a frown.

“Indeed, the sect leaders experienced countless life-and-death battles back then, and each of them was capable of looking down on one side. Even with their realm back then, they are definitely not rivals of ordinary geniuses.” His companion nodded in agreement, with a worried look on his face.

Just as everyone was talking, a faint light suddenly flashed on the surface of the inheritance tower, as if some power was activated, and the entire square fell into a brief silence.

"Look!" a disciple exclaimed, pointing his finger at the tower. The light on the tower surface gradually faded, and the top of the tower suddenly lit up with a dazzling brilliance, which shot straight into the sky and illuminated the entire sky above the Tianxing Sect.

"This is... someone has passed the second level!" There was an uproar in the square, and many people showed incredible expressions, especially some disciples who were not optimistic about Ye Fan at first, their faces were full of astonishment.

"Incredible! The second level is extremely difficult, but someone actually passed it!" Some disciples whispered excitedly, their hearts full of admiration.

"He... really passed." An elder showed an expression of disbelief on his face. He knew the difficulty of this level, especially the challenge of fighting against successive sect masters. Even the peerless genius of that time might not be able to pass it easily.

The silver-armored elder looked at the tower, a trace of relief and excitement flashing in her eyes. She said slowly: "It seems that he really has the hope of becoming the future of the Tianxing Sect."

The elder nodded, a rare smile on his face. "This young man has endless potential," he exclaimed softly.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the square became increasingly tense. As the light flickered, everyone was looking forward to whether the next test would go smoothly.

"The third level will be even more severe." An elder said solemnly, his eyes solemn. He knew that the third level tested the combination of character and wisdom, and many geniuses had fallen at this level.

"I hope he can get through it smoothly." Another elder whispered, with expectation and worry in his eyes.

In the square, everyone held their breath, all eyes focused on the ancient inheritance tower, waiting for Ye Fan's next move.
