Not to mention the black-clothed old man, even the white-haired old man stood up when he saw this scene. A strange expression appeared in his calm eyes.
"He … defeated the guardian of the fifth level!" the white-haired elder said.
"What? He defeated the guardian of the fifth level?" Qing Styx couldn't believe it. The guardian of the fifth level was a Level 9 warrior.
He was much stronger than Gold Mask. The reason why Qing Styx dared to make this bet was because Ye Tianze and Iron Arms had worked together to kill Gold Mask with Ye Tianze as the leader.
Even so, after two hours had passed, his heart was still filled with unease. He had never imagined that Ye Tianze would actually defeat the guardian of the fifth level.
The elder in black's face turned even uglier. What did it mean to defeat the guardian of the fifth level? This meant that Ye Tianze had successfully passed the trial, and he had even surpassed the gap of two major realms.
Not to mention the girl from the Moon Clan, even the geniuses of the Sky Dragon Sacred Territory might not be able to achieve this with Ye Tianze's level.
"I forgot to tell you that when I went to save him, he and Iron Arms had already worked together to kill Acheron's gold-masked assassin." Qing Styx looked proud. "Old man, you have to accept your loss!"
"You dug a hole for me!" the elder in black was furious.
"Did I?" Qing Styx smiled. "I remember that I said in front of the Lingyun Tower that I didn't do anything. How is that digging a hole for you?"
"Humph!" the elder in black snorted and threw out a jade box.

Of course, he couldn't go back on his words. Qing Styx was the Lord of the Human Emperor Palace in Jade Dragon City. Although they didn't get along well, he didn't want to offend Qing Styx too much.
Qing Styx opened the jade box. Instantly, a surge of blood Qi filled the air. It had an ancient aura.
"Good stuff. Your Moon Clan doesn't have many pieces, right?" Qing Styx smiled proudly.
Seeing the two mocking each other, the white-haired elder smiled bitterly and said, "This Ye is not bad. He is indeed worth training."
This caused the black-clothed old man's expression to turn even uglier.
This Heavenly Dragon Sacred Realm's Supreme Elder rarely praised others like this, but once he received his praise, it meant that in the future, Ye Tianze would receive a lot of special treatment in the Heavenly Dragon Sacred Realm.
He glanced at the Lingyun Tower. He was very unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.
At the same time, the Lingyun Pagoda lit up, causing the people in the plaza to be at a loss. They clearly did not know what was going on.
"What's going on? Why did the Lingyun Tower light up?" one of the examinees asked.
"Could Ye have broken through the thirteenth level of the Lingyun Tower?" Someone guessed.
"Break through the thirteenth floor? Are you joking? Until now, there has not been a single person who has broken through the thirteenth floor of the Lingyun Tower."
The Soaring Cloud Tower had thirteen floors, and it was a step to the heavens. However, ever since the three pagodas had been established, no one had ever broken through the thirteenth floor. That was because the protectors of each pagoda had always been at the peak of their respective realms.
"Could it be that there's a problem with the formation?" Everyone quickly dispelled their earlier thoughts. Breaking through the thirteenth layer was somewhat unreasonable.
Once this was said, everyone deeply agreed. Apart from a problem with the formation, there was no other possibility.
Jin Xuanri and Bai Luo, who had been startled, also let out sighs of relief. As for Palace Master Huang, he didn't have any hope at all.
Breaking through the thirteenth floor? How was that possible?
At this moment, the old man supporting the Lingyun Tower suddenly said, "There are two possibilities for the Lingyun Tower to light up. One is that someone has broken through the Lingyun Tower and reached the heavens in one step. The other possibility is …"
The old man muttered to himself for a moment before smiling strangely. "That is, someone has surpassed their realm and defeated the protector inside!"
The plaza became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. They all knew that Ye was only in the Condensing Tripod realm. If he wasn't the first, then he was naturally the second.
BOOM!
After a short moment of silence, the plaza exploded. Everyone looked at each other in dismay. They clearly didn't dare believe that a Condensing Tripod realm cultivator had surpassed the Hidden Soul realm and challenged a ninth rank warrior. They hadn't even dared to think about it.
"So it's the second possibility?" asked Palace Master Huang.
The old man didn't answer, but he nodded.
"He didn't win by one move. He … he won!" The disciples who had come to take the exam were conflicted.
Those who had passed the exam were disappointed, but those who hadn't were even more disappointed. Comparing oneself to others was really infuriating.
Even the man and woman who had gotten the last place were moved. They might have been able to pass the fifth floor, but they had only won by one move. It was easy to imagine how difficult it would be to defeat the protector.
Jin Xuanri wanted nothing more than to find a hole and hide in it. The old man's words were like a resounding slap to his face.
Just a moment ago, he had been full of himself, mocking and ridiculing Palace Master Huang. Now he immediately shut his mouth, not even daring to look at Palace Master Huang.
But the one whose expression was uglier wasn't Jin Xuanri, but Bai Luo of the Moon Clan. The only person he respected in this exam was the man and woman who had passed the ninth floor.
As for this Ye who had appeared out of nowhere, he had never taken him seriously. To him, he was a high and mighty genius of the Moon Clan, while Ye Tianze was just a nobody in the three counties.
He had gotten so lucky after killing a few alien tribes that he had caught everyone's attention.
He felt like a young master who had watched the son of a worker suddenly become the top scorer one day. It was extremely bitter.
But this young master didn't think that he was weaker than this worker's son. He didn't expect to be slapped in the face on the same stage.
"Looks like the one who has been left far behind this time is you, Old Jin," Palace Master Huang mocked back without holding back.
This time, it was Jin Xuanri's turn to be speechless. He was the Human Emperor Palace Master of the Nine States County. How could the talents under him be worse than those from the Qingyuan County? It was so embarrassing that he couldn't refute.
But Bai Luo wasn't convinced. He said coldly, "What's so great about that? Didn't my junior sister pass the fifth floor too?"
The woman beside him held his hand and also had an arrogant look on her face.
However, there was a burst of "shushing" from the surroundings. Everyone knew that successfully breaking through and defeating the challengers inside were two different things.
Otherwise, the Lingyun Tower wouldn't have such a big reaction.
Bai Luo's expression turned extremely cold when he saw the people around him shushing him. "I don't think he used his true strength to break through the Lingyun Tower. That's too unrealistic. Don't you think it's too inconceivable to cross two realms?"
Everyone was stunned. Although they didn't like Bai Luo's words, after thinking about it carefully, they found that it made sense.
"Once this' Night 'comes out, we must make him tell us how he defeated the guardian of the 5th level. If he cheated, then not only will we cancel his results, we'll even punish him severely!" said Bai Luoluo.
Seeing that the crowd was being stirred up, the guardian said coldly, "The Saint Realm exam has been going on for hundreds of years. Who are you to question it?"
"There's no problem with the Lingyun Tower, but …"
