Urban Romantic Divine Doctor Chapter 1872 - 1869: Secretly Framed

Facing Jiang Long’s taunts, Lou An gritted his teeth, his face alternating between red and white with embarrassment.

His hands clenched tightly into fists, his nails deeply embedded in his palms, leaving crescent-shaped marks.

At this moment, Li Jiayin interrupted their conversation.

Her voice was clear and melodious, yet carried an undeniable authority: "Everyone shut up, Junior Disciple Lin hasn’t finished yet!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned and turned their gaze to Xu Wendong.

Xu Wendong had already reached the eighth layer, wouldn’t he stop now?

Could it be he truly intended to directly charge to that mysterious ninth layer?

Everyone understood that with the Nine-layered Glazed Treasure Tower, the higher you go, the harder it gets.

Besides requiring extremely strong soul power, one’s own talent plays a crucial role.

The higher the talent, the higher the level one can reach.

Even someone like Li Jiayin, a so-called prodigy, had only reached the eighth layer.

Could Xu Wendong truly be more formidable than Li Jiayin?

At this moment, Xu Wendong felt as if the ninth level had an invisible membrane, akin to an indestructible wall, blocking his ascent.

The soul power he injected had reached its limit, and each step forward was incredibly difficult, nearly impossible to break through.

But Xu Wendong did not give up, his gaze was firm, and with a flick of his fingers, he silently released a stream of soul power.

"Look! That guy is indeed cheating, he sent out another burst of soul power!" Lou An, as if discovering a new continent, shouted loudly, his eyes wide open.

His once delicate face now became somewhat distorted with excitement and hatred, looking quite sinister.

Having finally caught Xu Wendong’s weakness, he certainly wanted to make a big deal out of it, attempting to suppress Xu Wendong.

But Li Jiayin and Jiang Long cast a glance at Lou An like he was an idiot.

Jiang Long sneered and said: "Who told you that one cannot continuously inject soul power to break through the pagoda?"

"The ninth layer of the Nine-layered Glazed Treasure Tower is inherently difficult to break through. Earlier, Senior Sister Li also used several bursts of soul power but couldn’t break through. Now, what’s wrong with Lin Mo using soul power to sprint?"

Upon hearing this, Lou An’s mouth twitched, his face feeling hot.

He stood there numb, like all his strength had been drained away.

He suddenly realized how foolish his behavior was just now.

Li Jiayin cast a disappointed look at him, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone: "Lou An, you can’t reach the ninth layer, so you can’t understand how to break through that membrane seal."

"If you reach Junior Disciple Lin’s level, you wouldn’t say such embarrassing things." After speaking, Li Jiayin no longer looked at him, her eyes filled with disappointment and disdain.

Lou An gritted his teeth, the anger in his heart burning like raging flames.

As he looked at Xu Wendong, his heart was full of resentment.

In his view, all of this was Xu Wendong’s fault; if not for Xu Wendong, he wouldn’t have been so publicly humiliated.

Meanwhile.

Xu Wendong took a deep breath, focusing all his energy, already starting to fully break through the ninth layer.

The Nine-layered Glazed Treasure Tower, for many powerful major forces, is regarded as a mysterious treasure vault holding top-grade treasures, and also a perfect tool for testing disciples’ talent.

In the eyes of these major forces, the most precious and powerful treasures must be placed on the ninth layer of the pagoda.

Thus, this ninth layer is undeniably crucial, filled with endless secrets and opportunities.

However, to break into the ninth layer, its difficulty is beyond imagination.

Just a moment ago, Li Jiayin already attempted to break through the ninth layer, her soul power surging like an overwhelming tide around her, trying to break through that obstacle.

But even so, she ultimately failed, forced to stop at the eighth layer.

Now, Xu Wendong also arrived at this critical node, launching an assault on the ninth layer.

Li Jiayin was filled with curiosity; she too wanted to see if this newly initiated disciple truly had the strength to break through the barrier that even she could not cross.

"Boom!"

Instantly, a deafening and surging rumble erupted from the Nine-layered Glazed Treasure Tower.

This thunderous sound was like a sudden clap of thunder, echoing through the entire area.

The Heavenly Nether Sect disciples, who were collecting treasures, were drawn by this unexpected noise, their actions halting as they anxiously looked toward Xu Wendong’s direction.

"Isn’t that kid a new entrant?"

"Yes, it’s him who allowed us to enter this relic."

"Is he breaking through the glazed tower’s ninth layer? Can he do it?"

Everyone was talking over each other, filled with doubt and skepticism.

In fact, they internally doubted Xu Wendong.

Consider that Li Jiayin is one of the top three disciples of the Heavenly Nether Sect, and even she failed to break through the ninth layer.

And Xu Wendong, just a newly admitted disciple, has not yet mastered any absolute skills, so how could he break through the ninth layer?

Although Jiang Long was quite optimistic about Xu Wendong, believing he had exceptional talent, he wasn’t very hopeful at this moment.

In his view, Xu Wendong reaching the eighth layer was already a showcase of outstanding talent.

If he indeed enters the ninth layer, it would certainly shake the entire Heavenly Nether Sect.

By then, many elders would probably vie to take Xu Wendong as a direct disciple.

In less than ten years, Xu Wendong might likely rank among the top five in the Heavenly Nether Sect disciple rankings.

Lou An watched as Xu Wendong continued to charge the ninth layer, his heart burning with jealousy, his eyes filled with intense killing intent.

Despite his reluctance to admit it, Xu Wendong’s displayed talent was indeed far superior to his own.

What made him more uneasy was that the ninth layer seemed truly about to be broken through by Xu Wendong!

"No, he can’t succeed!" Lou An’s heart was full of jealousy, and that jealousy invaded his sanity like a demon.

His eyes flickered, quickly striking, his fingers releasing a strange brown soul power.

This burst of soul power, like a black lightning bolt, suddenly drilled into Xu Wendong’s body.

"What are you doing?" Li Jiayin keenly noticed this scene, her beautiful eyes widening instantly, and her eyes filled with raging anger.

Everyone turned their gaze to Lou An, who was trying to mask his actions with a forced smile: "I saw this fellow disciple’s soul power was about to be exhausted, so I injected a stream to help him, wasn’t I being kind?"

However, no one believed his words.

Everyone knew that Lou An had conflicts with Xu Wendong, how could he kindly help Xu Wendong?

Sure enough, Xu Wendong’s body suddenly trembled, feeling a foreign soul power inside him madly absorbing his strength.

This force was like a greedy monster, causing his face to turn pale as paper, with sweat beads rolling down his forehead.

"You’re trying to harm me?" Xu Wendong gritted his teeth, his eyes full of fury towards Lou An, wishing he could tear Lou An to shreds.
