Even the guardians and top-rankers on the stage were confused as well.

"Another person comprehended martial essence on the second level. What is going on inside there?"

"There are people on the third and fourth level, but none of them have comprehended martial essence, yet someone on the lower levels did. What are the odds!"

"Could we have guessed wrong? Did Wagner, Shamos, and the rest didn't rush forward but instead stayed behind?"

"No way. According to past experience, rushing forward is the most reasonable choice!"

While they were in a heated discussion, the water mirror suddenly shimmered with bright light, catching everyone's attention.

"Someone comprehended martial essence again!"

"Is it someone on the lower levels too?"

"No, it's not. It's coming from the fourth level. Someone on the fourth level has comprehended martial essence."

"Judging from its color and shape, it must be man-made martial essence. Perhaps it's some kind of weapon."

"Since it's man- made, it must be weaker as compared to the previous nature class martial essences!"

"Hmm, that might not be the case. Nature class martial essence is, generally speaking, much stronger, but it depends on the individual as well. We can't determine who is weaker or stronger yet."

"I agree as well. Though nature class martial essences have higher upper bounds than man-made ones, the people who can reach those upper bounds are few and far in between. When it comes to the majority of martial artists, their own comprehension and skills need to be taken into account when deciding their strength."

At this moment, in the fourth level of the Xuan Valley, Wagner was eyeing a decayed long sword before him with a smile on his face. "It is finally my turn to comprehend martial essence, and blade essence at that too. Although this blade essence is different from the martial essence in the sword I'm using, they're both still cold weapons of the same type. That makes them highly compatible, which will strengthen me greatly."

Shamos, Kelton, and the others on the fourth level could clearly sense the fluctuations of the martial essence, and they felt even more pressured. They gritted their teeth and sped up in their search and comprehension.

The fluctuations on the fourth level naturally reached the third level.

Waves of martial essence comprehension could be felt coming from above and below them, which made the group on the third level anxious and pressured.

They gritted their teeth and sped up, putting more effort into charging in different directions on the third level. They frantically began comprehending.

At this moment, Fade, Yura, and Halston appeared on the third level with a flash of light.

As soon as they appeared, they could not help shivering due to the chill in the air around them.

They looked around and what came into view was a pure-white land of snow.

There was white snow and translucent ice everywhere. A breath of air would instantly condense into a cloud of white mist.

"It's so cold on the third level!" Halston hastily circulated his positive energy to shield his body.

Fade furrowed his eyebrows slightly before shielding his body with positive energy as well.

On the other hand, Yura, who was standing to the side, did not circulate any positive energy. Instead, she took one step out with a smile on her face. "Yura, be careful. Here..." Halston reminded her out of good intentions.

She turned her head and smiled as she explained, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. I practice ice class martial arts. This type of environment is great for me." "No wonder!"

Fade and Halston looked as if they had suddenly understood something.

She smiled and said, "Alright, let's not waste any more time. Let's begin!"

The corners of her mouth curled into a smile as she was full of confidence.

After all, with Fade's help, she had successfully comprehended martial essence. Although it was just two streaks of wind essence, at least she got a breakthrough.

Now, on the third level, the snowy environment was highly compatible with the martial arts she practiced. Therefore, it was very likely that she would be able to find the iceclass

2al essence, ice essence, here.

If she was to find martial essence that was compatible with her martial arts, it would help her advancement to Lord Level greatly.

Fade and Halston naturally understood this point. They nodded and immediately began to move.

Rushing into the ice and snow, Fade searched high and low for valuable treasures while looking out for ice essence sources.

It was undeniable that the higher the level, the better the resources.

In less than half an hour, he had already found about eight ice class herbs and minerals, which was quite a bountiful result.

Moreover, there was also a stalk of Seven Stars Cicada Grass, which was an extremely rare plant. It was one of the nine rare herbs that Fade was intending to collect before leaving the Valley.

Now that he had the Seven Stars Cicada Grass, that would make seven out of the nine rare herbs he wanted to collect. Therefore, he was only two herbs away from his goal.

Yura was accustomed to such an environment so she too quickly found four treasures, which she kept away happily.

On the other hand, Halston was not only slightly weaker than them, but he was also unable to adapt to such a cold environment, so he could not find anything.

Feeling that he could not hold on any longer, he took the initiative to bid farewell to Fade and Yura. He ended his search and headed to the entrance pillars. He had to think of a way to enter the fourth level as soon as possible. Perhaps he could find martial essence that suited him there.

After sending Halston off, Fade and Yura continued what they were doing.

It was undeniable that her luck was truly thriving in such an environment.

After an hour of searching, she found a ball of ice buried under a thick bed of snow. The ball of ice contained a thorough chill.

It was obviously ice essence.

Without any hesitation, she and Fade immediately sat down and began to comprehend it.

Thus, waves of martial essence fluctuations began rippling outward from the third level.

It was hard to say how much time had passed before the two of them concluded their comprehension. They opened their eyes and looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

"How was your gain?" Yura took the initiative to ask Fade.

At this moment, there was a smile pulling at the corners of her mouth and a hint of pride in her eyes.

That was because she had comprehended 48 streaks of ice essence on this level. Therefore, in addition to the two streaks of wind essence from before, she had already comprehended 50 streaks of martial

essence.

That result was extremely shocking.

It was also because of this result that she took the initiative to ask. She wanted to show off to Fade so that she could regain some of her dignity.

After all, ever since they entered the Xuan

Valley, she had been traveling with him.

As a disciple from Lindsay Hall, constantly being overshadowed by him all along the way had caused her to lose her confidence.

However, now was the perfect time for her to regain that lost confidence.

At this moment, Fade could not help furrowing his eyebrows slightly at Yura's question.

He was slightly disappointed as he had only comprehended 95 streaks of martial essence.

In terms of quantity, it was definitely many more than the 16 streaks of wind essence from the second level. However, in terms of efficiency, he felt that what he gained was the same as in the second level.

The ice essence contained on the

third level was even denser than the

1.n

wind essence on the second level. If his efficiency was the same, he estimated that he would only be satisfied after comprehending 180 streaks of ice essence.

However, with only half that number, he was

slightly upset.
