"Alright, I'll listen to you. I'll go and practice tonight."
Du Feng was really anxious. He was challenging the sword pagoda in the day and killing beasts at night to use their blood to practice the red gourd. He couldn't wait until the next day. The beasts couldn't run away anyway. It was dangerous to enter the back mountain at night. The so-called back mountain didn't just refer to the forest at the back door of the Yu Xian Sect.
There was a huge mountain range that could be called the back mountain. The front door of the Yu Xian Sect faced the south, so the area to the north was called the back mountain. The further north one went, the higher the level of the beasts.
"Rascal, you like to practice at night too, just like that person."
At this point, the old man suddenly shut his mouth, his expression somewhat gloomy. The person he was talking about was definitely Uncle Wei from back then. Uncle Wei liked to kill beasts at night to practice the gourd and gave it to Lin Fan. The gourd was still there, but Uncle Wei was nowhere to be seen.
Cough … Du Feng thought to himself that they were good friends, but he was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
"Since there's nothing else, I'll go and challenge the pagoda. I'll talk to you later."
Since Du Feng had entered the sword pagoda, he couldn't miss the chance to challenge the pagoda. After all, there was a limited number of challenges every year. It would be a crime to waste it.
Du Feng had taken a long time to challenge the pagoda last time because he didn't have enough experience. Besides, his Cultivation level was low and he hadn't practiced the Star Chasing Sword Art yet. He couldn't use the Three Styles of Xuanming in the sword pagoda, so he couldn't use his strength at all.
It was different this time. His Cultivation level had reached the late-stage of Heaven Immortal Stage Level Two. He was just a little bit away from Level Three. He was very familiar with the Star Chasing Sword Art in such a short time. He had come to the sword pagoda to test the power of this sword art.
Du Feng didn't wait outside the safe area. Instead, he dashed into the hall like a meteor.
The combination of the Star Shattering Steps and the Star Chasing Sword Art was beautiful. It felt like watching a meteor shower with the girl he loved in the middle of summer. The starlight dazzled everyone's mind. By the time they realized what was going on, the battle had already ended.
The thirty-four ordinary swordmen were all defeated. This time, they were not severely injured, and they were not cut in half. Every swordsman had a small hole in the middle of their brows. The hole was very small, but it was fatal.
This was the power of the Chasing Star Sword Art. Every move was aimed at a vital point, and there were no unnecessary movements. Why was it so powerful? It was because it was the number one sword art among the Heaven Immortals in the Immortal Secret Pavilion. Compared to the Golden Celestial Stage, it could be considered as a mid-level Golden Celestial. It was only because a Heaven Celestial Stage martial artist and a Golden Celestial Stage martial artist had a different way of circulating their True Core Strength. Otherwise, the Star Chasing Sword Art wouldn't be inferior to the Golden Celestial Stage's Magic Arts.
The remaining two swordsman leaders wanted to launch a sneak attack on Du Feng again. This time, he would not fall for it.
However, this time, Du Feng didn't use Lei Long to deal with them. Instead, he personally charged forward. The starlight flickered twice, and the two swordsman leaders had holes in the middle of their brows.
Du Feng looked at the hole in the middle of the swordsman leader's brows and said, "A mistake, a mistake."
Why did he say it was a mistake? It was because the hole was a little big this time. According to the requirements of the Star Chasing Sword Art, there was no need to poke such a big hole. Just a small hole would be enough. Poking such a big hole meant that one was too slow when retracting the sword. Poking a small hole and letting the Quintessential Essence enter the head through the hole was enough to kill the opponent.
This time, Du Feng didn't care too much about the results. However, when he walked to the entrance of the sword pagoda, he heard the old man shouting, "Not bad, kid. You made it on the list again."
What did he mean by making it on the list again? Du Feng glanced at the list on the pagoda. He was still the champion of the first and second level. His name was also on the third level, but he was ranked tenth.
"Tsk, what's the point of being last?"
Du Feng was very disdainful. He wasn't interested in such results. His Cultivation level was still low, and he hadn't practiced the sword art for long enough. He didn't want to fight for a ranking. He still needed some time to get a ranking.
"Kid, what are you talking about? How can the tenth place be last?"
In Du Feng's opinion, the tenth place was last on the list, which was equivalent to being last. However, in the eyes of the old man, Du Feng was only at Stage Two of the Heaven Celestial Stage, and yet he was able to make it on the list. It was already very impressive.
The butler's problem was that the tenth place on the list on the third level of the sword pagoda was an old acquaintance of Du Feng. She was his former master, Hong Xiuzhen. This time, Du Feng squeezed into the top ten and squeezed Hong Xiuzhen's name out.
Uh … After hearing this, Du Feng felt a little ashamed. Why do I have a feeling that I taught my disciple to starve to death? Did I go too far?
He decided that in order not to embarrass Hong Xiuzhen, he would squeeze the rankings of the Great Elder and the Second Elder to the bottom next time. Of course, it would only make their rankings fall back, and they wouldn't be able to squeeze out. After all, only Du Feng squeezed into the top ten, so only Hong Xiuzhen could be squeezed out.
If he wanted to squeeze out a few more people, he would have to have a few more newcomers on the list. For example, Wei Yannan, who had also broken through to the Heaven Celestial Stage, had a good chance. There was also the Queen of the Extreme North. Her Cultivation had reached the peak of Stage Nine of the Earth Celestial Stage, and it seemed that she was not far from breaking through.
Du Feng was calculating in his heart. If the Queen of the Extreme North and Wei Yannan both squeezed into the top ten, and their results were better than the Great Elder and the Second Elder, how would the Sect Leader feel? Would he blame himself for not choosing the right people before, or would he be happy for the newcomers?
On the previous list of the third floor of the sword pagoda, the Fourth Elder, Hong Xiuzhen, was ranked 10th, the Great Elder was ranked 9th, and the Second Elder was ranked 8th. If there were really three newcomers squeezing into the top ten, it was really possible that the names of the three Elders would be squeezed out.
Of course, the third floor was only a place for martial artists from Stage One to Stage Five of the Heaven Celestial Stage to break through, and it would be different on the fourth floor. Because the list of the fourth floor still had the names of the three Elders, not only the three of them, but also the name of the Third Elder. Among them, the name of the Second Elder was quite high on the list of the fourth floor, and it would not be so easy to squeeze him out.
"Look, the list of the third floor of the sword pagoda has been updated, and the name of the Fourth Elder is gone."
"Really? Who squeezed her name out? That list hasn't changed for a long time."
The news spread quickly, and many outer sanctum disciples came to see, and the inner sanctum disciples also came to see.
"Uh … it turns out to be the new Hall Master Du, no wonder he is so powerful."
