After being sent flying, the Staff Envoy climbed to its feet. But instead of attacking again, it returned to its position at the side. Then, a voice that seemed to come from the heavens resounded.
"First Layer trial passed. Prepare for transport to the Second Layer trial!"
'Isn't this a bit too easy?'
Lin Xuan offered his assessment. The force he'd unleashed wasn't his full power—it was only half strength, a mere 200,000 jin—yet it had easily overwhelmed the copper statue.
'Then again, this is just the First Layer,' he thought. 'If it were any harder, the later ones would be impossible.' Immediately after, Lin Xuan felt an Energy envelop him. His vision blurred, and he vanished from where he stood.
Outside the Martial God Tower, the crowd saw a point of light flash on the First Layer and then float up to the Second. This was the sign that Lin Xuan had passed the First Layer and was successfully being transported to the next.
