"Holy shit!!!"
Chu Zhongtian was completely stunned. Before he could even understand what was happening, he was swatted out of the Martial Tower by a single paw strike.
This was the first level!
When did the Martial Will on the first level become so terrifying?!
"Hahaha, Chu Zhongtian, look at you, so pathetic. If you can't get through, you can't get through. Is it really necessary to get so worked up?"
The group looked at Chu Zhongtian with mocking smiles.
Hearing this, Chu Zhongtian glared coldly at them.
"There's something wrong with the Martial Tower. My fourth-level willpower can't even get past the first level."
The man scoffed. "You're full of shit. We're not freshmen after all."
With that, he tried to enter the Martial Tower.
But within three or four minutes, he was sent flying back, looking utterly defeated.
"What happened? How come Brother Ji was done in just three minutes?"
Chen Ji's face was dark. "Damn it, the Martial Tower is definitely malfunctioning! That Taotie possesses an incredibly strange will; it crushed my Metal Will in an instant!"
The others, skeptical, also tried to go in and check it out, but without exception, they were all sent flying.
Whether on the first or second floor, as soon as they encountered the Taotie, they were instantly wiped out.
Their faces turned ashen.
Are you kidding?!
How were they supposed to ascend the tower after this?
"What the hell is this will? Isn't the Taotie supposed to have only the Devouring Will and the Killing Intent? How come there's a new one now?"
"Isn't Taotie a magical beast? How could it comprehend another will at the Fifth Rank early-stage? Can anyone explain this?"
"Senior Shen is here! Let Senior Shen see what that will is!"
Shen Junshan walked towards the Martial Tower, somewhat puzzled by the strange expressions on the others' faces.
Not going into the tower, just chatting here, so leisurely?
Chu Zhongtian scratched his head and walked towards him.
"Senior Shen, could you please take a look at the new will that Taotie inside the Martial Tower has comprehended? We were all kicked out."
Shen Junshan raised an eyebrow, recalling the Taotie that had dethroned him in the Martial Tower records.
"How could Taotie comprehend a new will before reaching the King Rank? I'll go check it out."
With that, he entered the Martial Tower.
He didn't encounter a Taotie on the first three floors, but on the fourth floor, he saw a lion-sized Taotie engulfed in fiery red karmic flames.
A ray of golden light burst forth, and an immense pressure of will filled the entire space.
Shen Junshan clenched his fists, but the Fist Intent emanating from his knuckles was actually somewhat suppressed. Even the mid-level Extreme Cold Will couldn't match the vastness of this golden light.
"This will... it's the Invincible Will!!"
Shen Junshan's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
He had tried to comprehend the Invincible Will before, but had no clue how to go about it. He had only ever heard the name, but he was clear about its characteristics.
It was known as the "Nemesis of Wills" because when it reached its full potential, it could crush "all wills"!
And this meant that Taotie had comprehended the Invincible Will.
A magical beast had comprehended the Invincible Will that everyone dreamed of?!
Shen Junshan suppressed the shock in his heart, unleashing his Fist Intent and Extreme Cold Will to shatter the Taotie avatar.
His will had already reached the eighth level, its strength far exceeding what Wu Liang's current Invincible Will could crush. However, this didn't mean Wu Liang's Invincible Will couldn't suppress his Fist Intent and Extreme Cold Will.
Soon, the explosive news of the Invincible Will's appearance spread throughout Beiming Martial Arts University.
"A magical beast that's only been in school for two months has comprehended the Invincible Will? How can that be?!"
"Guys, is this reasonable? I'd accept it even if it were a human comprehending the Invincible Will, but a Fifth Rank magical beast..."
"Does this mean the Invincible Path is about to be opened? For the first time ever, the Invincible Path will be opened for a magical beast!"
Meanwhile.
In the underground training room of the villa.
Wu Liang was learning to master the power of the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire.
The Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire, as the most powerful bloodline ability of the Blazing Phoenix, could be said to have limitless potential.
It not only had offensive capabilities but also healing abilities.
This karmic fire could heal injuries and even allowed Wu Liang to achieve a phoenix-like rebirth.
Ling Qingxue gazed at the blazing flames, a hint of envy appearing in her eyes.
"The Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire possesses immense destructive power even against Imperial Rank opponents. This ability is totally comparable to a top-tier Imperial Rank technique!"
As Wu Liang's level increased, the power unleashed by the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire would continuously grow.
At its peak, the karmic fire would incinerate everything in its path.
This time, she was truly envious.
Ling Qingxue pursed her lips. "Wu Liang, could you tell me the whole process of how you comprehended the Invincible Will?"
Hearing this, Wu Liang withdrew the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire back into his body, a smile appearing on his face.
"Little Xuexue, do you also want to comprehend the Invincible Will?"
Ling Qingxue nodded slightly. "Yes, we have a destiny pact. What you comprehend will be easier for me to comprehend; perhaps I can achieve it too."
"Alright, I'll just briefly explain it to you."
Wu Liang radiated invincible golden light, revealing his majestic Invincible Will.
Under this imposing aura, the ferocity in Wu Liang's eyes grew even more terrifying.
"I first sensed this strange Invincible Will when I defeated Liu Fufeng, and the feeling grew stronger during my battles against the Steel Giant and the Golden Centipede.
Then, the pressure from the Silver-Armored Insect King completely broke the bottleneck, and the invincible spirit successfully evolved into Invincible Will!"
Since hatching, Wu Liang had engaged in numerous battles, large and small, with his fellow examinees.
Also, getting first place in the martial arts exam was entirely due to his absolute strength.
Therefore, his ability to comprehend the Invincible Will, although strange, seemed reasonable.
Ling Qingxue took a deep breath, and a look of realization gradually dawned in her eyes.
"Liu Fufeng, as the undisputed number one of this generation, also aimed for the Invincible Will. He already possessed a considerable amount of invincible spirit. You defeated him and seized his invincible spirit!
Afterwards, he successively defeated several magical beasts of higher levels than him, and even faced the Silver-Armored Insect King, a Seventh Rank creature, without retreating a single step. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that he was able to fully grasp the true meaning of invincibility!
Only with an invincible spirit can one possess an Invincible Will.
It could be said that Wu Liang might even have to thank Liu Fufeng for his Invincible Will.
Liu Fufeng: So, even I have become part of your game?
Wu Liang stretched out a paw and touched his chin, seemingly deep in thought.
"So it seems that to comprehend the Invincible Will, one not only needs to constantly defeat opponents, but also to rely on one's own strength. Winning through external means will not cultivate an invincible spirit!"
Ling Qingxue was carried by Wu Liang, and relying on this advantage, she maintained a winning streak despite being slightly weaker.
However, such victories could not trigger the invincible spirit, let alone allow her to comprehend the Invincible Will.
Wu Liang smirked.
"Originally, I planned to assist you in those challenges with third- and fourth-year students, but now I've decided that I won't help you with any of the challenges the school gives you from now on. You have to win on your own, otherwise you won't be able to comprehend the Invincible Will!"
