Xiao Chen chose to stop at the last moment. Although he knew that Wang Hu still held a grudge against him, Wang Hu was no longer a threat to him. Moreover, there was no enmity between the two of them. Killing Wang Hu or not wouldn't make any difference to him.
In fact, the enmity between the two of them was entirely caused by Wang Hu's narrow-mindedness. He wanted to prove himself through Xiao Chen. However, he didn't know that in Xiao Chen's eyes, Wang Hu was just a negligible existence. He didn't pose any threat to Xiao Chen at all.
Without injuring Wang Hu, Xiao Chen sheathed his sword. Then, he turned to look at Mo Jie, Qin Shuirou and the others and said with a smile, "I'll go up first. Come to the Dustless Residence tonight. I'll treat all of you to a drink …"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chen directly walked past Wang Hu, who was in a daze, and continued towards the top of the Wanjian Peak.
He directly ignored Wang Hu. After this battle, the number one position in the outer sect had completely changed hands. Who would have thought that Wang Hu, who had been famous in the outer sect for many years, would be defeated by a new outer sect disciple who had only been in the outer sect for a year? Moreover, he was defeated without any ability to fight back.
"This kid is really …" At the foot of the mountain, Cang Xuan smiled in a gratified manner as he watched Xiao Chen's back with eyes filled with deep meaning. He was naturally able to tell just how much Xiao Chen had improved over the past year. However, if that was all, it was still impossible for Xiao Chen to defeat Tian Dao from the Blood Devil Hall.
Sigh, there was no other way. The outer sect disciples of the East Sword Pavilion were getting worse with each generation. In the competition with the other major forces in the Eastern Sun Region, the East Sword Pavilion's core disciples and inner sect disciples were not afraid. Only the outer sect disciples were always at a disadvantage. The reason was that the East Sword Pavilion didn't have a capable outer sect disciple.
Cang Xuan had great expectations for Xiao Chen, but Xiao Chen clearly did not know what Cang Xuan was thinking. Cang Xuan had already crossed the halfway point of the mountain, and sharp sword aura after sword aura frantically attacked Xiao Chen.
Sword Qi that hadn't even reached the Entry Stage was naturally of no threat to Xiao Chen. However, he didn't act carelessly because he knew that the higher one climbed the Myriad Swords Peak, the stronger the Sword Qi would become. It was said that during the Outer Court Exam, the Sword Qi at the peak had reached the Initial Stage.
Sword Qi at the level of Minor Accomplishment was definitely not something that an Outer Court disciple could contend against. This was because the only way to resist the invasion of Sword Qi was to use one's own Sword Qi to resist it. In other words, if one wanted to reach the peak, then one must possess Sword Qi at the level of Minor Accomplishment. However, in the Outer Court, who could possess Sword Qi at the level of Minor Accomplishment?
One must know that even in the Inner Court, there weren't many people who possessed Sword Qi at the level of Minor Accomplishment, let alone the Outer Court.
Every step he took was extremely firm. Looking at Xiao Chen's back, many Outer Court disciples at the halfway point of the mountain were stunned. They wanted to see how far Xiao Chen could go, and whether he could really reach the peak of the Myriad Swords Peak and become the first person to reach the peak in a hundred years.
Countless pairs of eyes were fixed on Xiao Chen, but he didn't seem to mind at all. Step by step, he walked towards the peak.
As he climbed all the way up, the closer he got to the peak, the sharper the Sword Qi became. At this moment, he had already reached the limit of the Entry Stage, and was only one step away from the Initial Stage.
Sword Qi gushed out from his body, firmly protecting him against the Sword Qi on the Myriad Swords Peak.
"One thousand meters, the last one thousand meters …" Seeing that Xiao Chen was only one thousand meters away from the peak, many Outer Court disciples tensed up.
In this year's year-end assessment, the best result for the Core and Inner Court disciples was 500 meters away from the peak. Of course, the pressure they endured was far from comparable to the Outer Court disciples. However, it was worth mentioning that the ones who set these two records were Xiao Chen's Big Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister.
Would Xiao Chen be able to break the record of the Big Brother and the Second Sister? Under everyone's gaze, Xiao Chen finally made it to the last 1,000 meters. As soon as he made it there, the pressure of the sword aura suddenly increased and reached the level of Small Accomplishment.
"Sword Qi at the Initial Stage? So what … "Feeling the increase in the Sword Qi, Xiao Chen's eyes glinted with determination. Then, the Sword Qi in his body also increased sharply and reached the Initial Stage.
That's right. In this year, apart from his combat strength and cultivation, Xiao Chen's Sword Qi had also broken through from the Initial Stage to the Initial Stage.
Xiao Chen took a step back at the beginning, but he quickly stabilized himself. Then, he continued to climb.
Although his speed was slower, his footsteps weren't shaky at all. Every step he took was extremely firm.
Seeing that Xiao Chen was getting closer and closer to the peak and even surpassed the record set by Qi Yan and Cang Xuan, the Outer Court disciples couldn't remain calm anymore.
"This kid has actually broken through to the Initial Stage …" Cang Xuan smiled as he looked at Xiao Chen who was climbing to the peak. With his eyesight, he could naturally see that Xiao Chen's Sword Qi had reached the Initial Stage.
An Outer Court disciple with Initial Stage Sword Qi. Got to say, Xiao Chen had done something that no one had been able to do for a hundred years. Even Qi Yan only broke through to the Initial Stage after entering the Inner Court.
Hearing her master's praise, Qi Yan also revealed a faint smile. She was very satisfied with Xiao Chen's performance.
In just a short two hours, Xiao Chen took the last step and successfully reached the peak of the Myriad Swords Peak.
The sword aura around him disappeared in an instant, and everything on the peak returned to normal. Xiao Chen looked down at the dumbfounded outer sect disciples from above. At that moment, a sense of heroism welled up in his heart. Standing there meant that he was standing at the highest peak of the outer sect of the East Sword Pavilion.
From a new disciple to the top of the Outer Court, it only took Xiao Chen a year.
No one knew who spoke first, but all the Outer Court disciples gathered on the mountainside shouted in unison. "Greetings, Senior Brother Xiao Chen …"
The top of the Outer Court, climbing the Myriad Swords Peak, Xiao Chen deserved to be addressed as Senior Brother. This was also the heartfelt admiration of all the Outer Court disciples. Even Wang Hu had to bow his head and greet him.
Qin Shuirou was mesmerized as he looked at the figure on the peak of the Myriad Swords Peak with infatuation.
Xiao Chen's white clothes fluttered in the breeze. At this moment, in Qin Shuirou's eyes, Xiao Chen was so perfect.
Everyone was watching. Not only the Outer Court disciples, but many Inner Court disciples and Core Disciples also saw the scene of Xiao Chen reaching the peak. Some were envious, some were jealous. However, on a mountain peak not far away, two young men stood side by side. One of them laughed.
"Qin Heng, your Junior Brother is not bad. He has already broken your record …"
