High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System Chapter 734 - 381: Exposed? Rising to Fame!

Amidst the boundless void.

"The fifteenth level of the Black Tower!"

"Jiang Ye has actually passed the fifteenth level? Is this young man really that exceptional?"

"Historical records show no extraordinary talent has ever cleared the fifteenth level before; that realm belongs to peerless prodigies!"

"This boy’s battle prowess within the same realm is ridiculously overpowered, right?" Numerous city lords exclaimed in shock.

From their lofty positions, they grasped the profound significance even more clearly.

Extraordinary talents conquering the fourteenth level, while incredibly scarce, had occurred a handful of times across the ages.

Yet clearing the fifteenth level?

History had no precedent!

At the very least, within the ten-thousand-year annals familiar to these city lords, no such genius had ever emerged.

"A genius like this appears only once in ten thousand years." The White Obsidian City Lord whispered.

"White Obsidian, you’ve always taken only female disciples. Don’t compete with us for him." The Purple Obsidian City Lord chuckled.

"I’m weary of female disciples; picking up a male one now and then would be refreshing." White Obsidian replied gently, her curiosity clearly sparked.

A genius of such caliber.

Missing this opportunity might mean never encountering such brilliance again in her life.

Gods may seem eternal, but their lifespans span merely a few millennia.

"White Obsidian, your female disciples are all fairy-like beauties; it’d be a shame if Jiang Ye succumbed to their allure."

"Why not let me claim him?" Purple Obsidian grinned, "Even my weakest disciple is a fourth-tier demigod."

"Purple Obsidian, quit daydreaming." Black Obsidian scoffed: "Jiang Ye hails from my Black Obsidian City; I hold the utmost right to take him as disciple!"

"That’s not accurate..." Purple Obsidian shook his head promptly.

Not just him—other city lords joined the fray, sparking arguments.

Before long, the city lords’ quarrel escalated wildly, cracking the void and sending heavenly laws into furious turmoil.

This spectacle.

Should anyone from Barbaric Dragon Star witness it, they’d be dumbfounded.

Every city lord rules a thriving ancient metropolis and ranks among the elite; even fourth-tier demigods must bow deeply before them.

Yet here they were? These typically aloof city lords bickering fiercely over a simple Sixth Break cultivator.

As the city lords fiercely contended over the matter,

"Wow~"

Abruptly, the void trembled, unleashing an intangible ripple.

Moments later, a hazy silhouette materialized—indistinct yet immensely colossal.

Its emergence unleashed a colossal aura that crushed the city lords’ dispute in an instant.

"Star Lord?"

"Greetings, Star Lord."

"Salutations to the Star Lord." Led by Black Obsidian, the twelve Divine City Lords bowed reverently together.

At the same time, a hint of surprise flashed in their gazes.

The Star Lord had arrived!

Jiang Ye shattering the fifteenth level of the Black Tower set a record, but it shouldn’t have drawn the Star Lord’s attention.

Typically, only world-shattering feats like the prior nineteenth-level breakthrough would summon the Star Lord.

Why Jiang Ye?

Doubts filled every city lord, yet they stayed silent, heads lowered in respect.

...

Chaos erupted outside.

Within the Black Tower, Jiang Ye’s ascent neared its climax.

"Young one, you’ve claimed your reward. The Black Tower trial ends here; you can leave now."

A raspy voice echoed softly:

"I hope when you return next time, you climb even further and uncover the Black Tower’s true secrets..."

The true secrets of the Black Tower? Jiang Ye’s mind stirred.

"Senior," Jiang Ye asked instinctively, "Can those with extraordinary talent go beyond the fifteenth level?"

By now, he’d absorbed plenty about Barbaric Dragon Star’s history.

In Barbaric Dragon Star’s chronicles, extraordinary talents topped out at the fourteenth level.

Jiang Ye barely scraped the fifteenth with his array of aces and heavy buffs.

Even at full throttle, that felt like his ceiling.

The sixteenth? Zero confidence... Remember, Black Tower difficulties skyrocketed per level.

"Over ten thousand years, you’re the first genius to hit the fifteenth level," the raspy voice acknowledged.

"Ten thousand years?"

Jiang Ye’s face shifted: "So someone made it here ten thousand years back?"

"Across endless ages, I’ve lost track of much," the raspy voice laughed lightly: "But the fifteenth level isn’t the limit for extraordinary talent."

Jiang Ye’s heart jolted.

Someone actually reached this far solo?

He knew the insane challenge involved.

Crucially, per this enigmatic voice, extraordinary talents had climbed beyond!

"How in the world?" Jiang Ye marveled inwardly; he doubted he’d maxed his tier’s potential already.

"The Black Tower, dubbed the Black God Tower."

"It served as a weapon for a supreme being," the raspy voice explained: "Inside dwells the ’authority’ bequeathed by that supreme entity."

"Grasping the authority alone unlocks the Black Tower’s profound mysteries."

"You’re not ready yet," the raspy voice faded gradually: "Still, your aptitude might let you soar higher ahead."

"Senior holds such faith in me?" Jiang Ye blinked in surprise.

"Hehe, don’t sell yourself short."

"Previously, extraordinary talents who went further had realms far beyond yours," the raspy voice noted: "Once you hit Ninth Break or demigod realm, your peaks could eclipse theirs."

"At that point."

"Challenging the Black Tower anew, you could scale greater heights," the raspy voice declared.

Enlightenment dawned on Jiang Ye.

He realized this was a nudge that his cultivation path had been too brief so far.
