Chapter 851: Chapter 851: Breaking Records Chapter 851: Chapter 851: Breaking Records “Could it be that today, both of these individuals are going to break the record?” someone said with a trembling voice.
As this statement was made, everyone was startled and then showed expressions of astonishment.
Breaking the record was in itself a very astonishing event, but if two people were to break the record on the same day, that was even more incredible and hard to believe.
“It’s one thing for Long Zhiming, but how on earth did Fang Lin manage this?”
“I’m growing more and more suspicious that this guy used some sort of treasure.”
“But he stayed at the same stage for a very long time before, if he used a treasure, he should have been able to get through much faster.”
“Could it be that Fang Lin didn’t use any treasures and has been relying on his own strength?”
“Impossible! That is absolutely impossible!”
“I also feel it’s highly unlikely; his realm couldn’t possibly have carried him this far.”
Inside the Battle Spirit Temple, Fang Lin held a long spear, his breath long and steady, and his entire being seemed to have undergone a transformation. Despite having endured a prolonged battle, he was still at his peak, and had even surpassed it.
Heavenly Origin Ninth Layer, Fang Lin had successfully stepped into it. His Inner Strength was incredibly abundant, and his whole body possessed an astonishingly powerful force.
To make consecutive breakthroughs in one day, advancing from the Heavenly Origin Seventh Layer directly to the Ninth Layer was a feat that, while not unheard of, was exceedingly rare.
Not to mention the difficulty of making such rapid breakthroughs, the impact of these successive advancements was also quite serious.
Yet Fang Lin had no such concerns, for his realm had been achieved through continuous combat.
Battle was equivalent to cultivation!
At this moment, Fang Lin was like a top-grade jade, emitting its own luster through constant carving.
There were not many who could elevate themselves in the way Fang Lin did.
Within this Battle Spirit Temple, Fang Lin had changed dramatically compared to when he had first entered. It wasn’t just an elevation in realm- his strength had undergone a fundamental change as well.
The Fang Lin of today wouldn’t feel too much pressure when facing a Spirit Vein Eighth Layer; facing the Ninth Layer, he also possessed the strength to fight.
But this was not enough for Fang Lin; he wanted to become even stronger. In the upcoming second phase of the battle amongst the Talents of the Nine Countries, he aimed to defeat more opponents and secure a better ranking.
Breaking through to the Spirit Vein was imperative!
Even though Fang Lin had the ability to challenge those beyond his level, without reaching the realm of Spirit Vein, he was always at a disadvantage. Ordinary Spirit Vein Martial Artists he could handle.
But if he encountered powerhouses like Long Zhiming, even though Long Zhiming was also just a Spirit Vein Martial Artist, Fang Lin would find it hard to compete.
This was much like the gap between Fang Lin and other Heavenly Origin powerhouses. Ordinary Heavenly Origin Martial Artists simply couldn’t hold a candle to Fang Lin.
And ordinary Spirit Vein Martial Artists couldn’t compare to someone like Long Zhiming.
Talents were always Talents, towering above the common Martial Artists.
Only by stepping into the realm of Spirit Vein would Fang Lin truly have the capacity to contend with Talents like Long Zhiming.
Without reaching Spirit Vein, he would always be a step behind them.
As time continued to pass, Fang Lin defeated the seventieth Battle Spirit and welcomed the seventy-first.
And the strength of this seventy-first Battle Spirit had truly reached the realm of Spirit Vein Ninth Layer, wielding dual swords, it posed a great threat to Fang Lin.
The previous seventieth Battle Spirit, although comparable to a Spirit Vein Ninth Layer, was still somewhat weaker. However, this seventy-first Battle Spirit was truly at the Ninth Layer, its aura much more formidable.
Fang Lin’s expression also became particularly solemn; this was a true challenge to the limits, almost an impossible feat across so many levels.
Although extremely difficult, once Fang Lin defeated this seventy-first Battle Spirit with his own strength, he would gain even more benefits.
To the surprise of the people outside the Battle Spirit Temple, Fang Lin and Long Zhiming, these two individuals, had lasted such a long time during their first venture into the Battle Spirit Temple.
For days on end, the two of them battled relentlessly within the Battle Spirit Temple, to the point that even Elder Huang, who had been a permanent fixture at the Wuji Battle Temple for so many years, rarely saw such desperate young people.
Their accomplishments were also surprising; Fang Lin had actually gone a step further than Long Zhiming, facing the seventy-first Battle Spirit now.
Long Zhiming was still stuck before the seventieth Battle Spirit, unable to defeat it.
This made many people from the Long Family very nervous.
They were not worried about Long Zhiming’s strength, but now that he had been surpassed by Fang Lin in progress, they felt a loss of face.
If Fang Lin were to break the record first, even if Long Zhiming also broke the record, there would be little to celebrate.
Dugu Nian looked gloomy, staring at the numbers on the stone tablet, feeling almost frantic.
She was the first to challenge the Battle Spirit Temple, but after defeating just over thirty Battle Spirits, she had already reached her limit.
But these two guys, one more abnormal than the other, were completely beyond normal reasoning; they were simply monsters.
“Damn it, the second time I challenge, I will definitely surpass you both!” Dugu Nian said in her heart, her face showing a teeth-gritting unwillingness to accept defeat.
“Fang, Fang Lin has reached the record!”
When the number on the stone tablet changed once more, everyone present was incredibly shocked.
Fang Lin’s number had reached seventy-two, equaling the highest record ever set.
Most unbelievable was the fact that Fang Lin was merely at the Heavenly Origin realm, while the person who created this record was already at the Spirit Vein realm.
“Is Fang Lin going to break the record?” Many were looking forward with anticipation; although it wasn’t them personally breaking the record, witnessing someone shatter the Battle Spirit Temple’s record was a fortunate event.
Elder Huang was also exceptionally anticipatory; he had not expected Fang Lin to reach the record sooner than Long Zhiming, and now, if Fang Lin advanced further, he would set a brand new record.
“Long Zhiming’s number has changed too, seventy-one now!”
“It’s a pity, Fang Lin is still one step ahead!”
“Sigh, if their realms were the same, Long Zhiming would definitely be faster than Fang Lin.”
“Long Zhiming also has the capability to break the record, the Battle Spirits he faces are stronger than those Fang Lin encounters!”
“But Fang Lin is only at Heavenly Origin; considering that, the Battle Spirits he’s facing now must be at least at the eighth or ninth layer of Spirit Vein.”
On the stone tablet, the eyes of everyone gathered, waiting for the moment the record would be broken.
As time slipped away, the crowd seemed not to feel it, their gaze hardly ever strayed from the stone tablet for even an instant.
Three days later, the number on the stone tablet changed once more.
“Fang Lin has actually broken the record!”
“Too terrifying! Too astonishing!”
And almost at the same time, Long Zhiming’s number also became seventy-two.
