Everything happened in the space of a single breath. Even Xiao Chen was astonished by the sudden change.
The nervous Ao Jiao, who was in the Lunar Shadow Saber, heaved a sigh of relief. She smiled and said, "Hehe! Don't be so shocked. This is the benefit of a King Grade True Dragon. As the previous champion, Sima Lingxuan did not even have twenty percent of your effect. You and the Thunder King are second only to the Tianwu Emperor. "
When Xiao Chen heard this, he smiled faintly and sheathed his saber. His figure flickered in the air, and he landed in front of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's people in high spirits.
When Shen Manjun saw the uninjured Xiao Chen, she said in astonishment, "Strange, why are you not injured at all? Even if that Inextinguishable Divine Light did not injure you, your final move should have injured you significantly."
Xiao Chen did not hide anything. He told Shen Manjun about the various benefits of a King Grade True Dragon. Only then did she reveal an expression of relief.
When Xiao Chen looked around, he discovered that everyone else had an expression of reverence for him. They did not dare to meet his gaze. Even Jiang Chi and the other half-step Martial Monarchs did not dare to. Only Shen Manjun was not affected, able to speak to him freely.
At this moment, the scarlet mark on Xiao Chen's forehead had been baptized by the King Grade True Dragon. The original demonic aura had vanished, leaving behind an even stronger aura of a king. Now, Xiao Chen's aura was completely different from the original Xiao Chen.
After thinking about it, Xiao Chen understood. With a thought, he withdrew the aura of a king.
With the King Grade True Dragon, Xiao Chen could control his aura as he pleased. He no longer needed to wear the blue strip of cloth. However, out of habit, he still wore another strip of cloth, making it look no different from usual.
Xiao Chen performed a cupped-fist salute to the elders of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion and said, "Fortunately, I did not fail. Xiao Chen obtained the first rank for the Heavenly Saber Pavilion."
Only now did everyone reveal a sincere smile. In the end, Xiao Chen had not changed. Even though he obtained the first rank, he did not show any arrogance to his friends and seniors. Even though he maintained some distance, he was polite and didn't put on any airs.
Jiang Chi laughed loudly and said, "Let's not talk about this first. Let's go celebrate after we return to the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. The True Dragon Ranking will be released in three days. You will be very busy for the next few days. Go back and rest first!"
From sunrise until midnight, everyone was a little tired. After congratulating Xiao Chen, they prepared to return home.
The other spectating cultivators all said that this trip was not in vain. Their surging emotions could not calm down for a long time. But the banquet would eventually come to an end. Since the competition was over, it was time to go back.
Hu chi!
Just as everyone was preparing to leave, the thick, never-dissipating clouds ten kilometers above Dragon Sealing City suddenly split in half.
A gentle white light shone down from the sky, turning the entire Dragon Sealing City into day. The night completely disappeared.
Amidst the sounds of celestial music, a ship that was as white as jade and glowing with extraordinary splendor appeared before everyone's eyes. As the jade ship descended, a myriad of rainbow-colored lights drifted down like snowflakes.
The cultivators preparing to leave all stopped. After being stunned for a while, someone cheered excitedly, "It's an Auspicious Sign! Auspicious Signs fill the sky! The person on the jade ship must be an envoy from the Kunlun Realm!"
"Hu chi!
Hu chi! "In that instant, countless figures soared into the air. Their faces filled with excitement as they flew towards the Auspicious Signs descending from the sky. The Auspicious Signs contained abundant Spiritual Energy. Furthermore, these were Auspicious Signs from the Kunlun Realm. Just obtaining a few of them would allow one to increase their cultivation significantly.
A handsome man in embroidered clothes stood on the bow of the ship. He was no more than twenty-four years old and looked very handsome. He gave off an elegant air and a dignified air.
Coupled with his innate elegance, he exuded a boundless charm just by standing there quietly.
When the man in embroidered clothes saw everyone fighting for the Auspicious Signs below, he revealed a mocking smile. He said indifferently, "Just a grain of light and they are fighting so hard. No wonder the Sky Dome Realm is ranked last among the three thousand great realms."
"Xiu!"
A figure moved at lightning speed. Just a moment ago, he was a kilometer away. In an instant, he stood on the bow of the ship. It was Dragon Sealing City's City Lord, Zong Liang.
Zong Liang glanced at the man in embroidered clothes on the bow and felt that he was too young. He asked uncertainly, "Are you the envoy that Bushin Palace sent to receive us?"
Not just anyone could become an envoy. Coming and going would result in a relatively high reward. If one could receive a super genius, the benefits would be even more unimaginable.
The man in embroidered clothes nodded slightly. He was only an Inferior Grade Martial Monarch but did not show any respect to a peak Martial Monarch, Zong Liang. He said softly, "I don't seem to sense the presence of a Martial Monarch. It looks like the Sky Dome Realm is still the same as before. I will give you three months.
I will not wait for you if you are late. "Zong Liang was not in a rush to refute the other party's words. He frowned slightly and said," According to the previous rules, don't we have to wait for half a year? "
When the participants obtained Luck, it would not show its effects immediately. Hence, before going to the upper realm, there would be at least half a year to bring out the effects of Luck to its fullest.
The Bushin Palace controlled more than six hundred great realms. There would be many geniuses in each realm. With so many geniuses and the geniuses of the Kunlun Realm itself, the intensity of the competition was easy to imagine.
Only by raising one's strength to the peak would one be able to obtain more resources and have more initiative in making their own choices. Three months was not enough time for Zong Liang to bring out the full effect of Luck, which was why he asked this question.
The man in embroidered clothes said impatiently, "Is the insignificant Sky Dome Realm worthy of me waiting for half a year?"
"Ha ha ha! Wan Feng, you made a mistake this time. The Sky Dome Realm has completely turned things around. They have produced a King Grade True Dragon genius!" Vigorous laughter came from the warship's hold as a white-haired old man slowly walked out.
The expression of the man in embroidered clothes changed slightly. He said in astonishment, "Master, the Bushin Palace controls six hundred great realms. In this once-in-five-thousand-year great age, less than ten King Grade True Dragons appeared. How can the Sky Dome Realm have a King Grade True Dragon?"
The white-haired old man smiled and said, "Ha ha! This Sky Dome Realm is not simple in the first place. In the previous great age, a person like the Thunder King appeared. Furthermore, if you think about it carefully, your roots are in this Sky Dome Realm. Don't underestimate this Sky Dome Realm. Who knows?
Naturally, Wan Feng did not believe that he would be defeated in this insignificant Sky Dome Realm. However, this old man was his master.
Wan Feng's strength was unfathomable. This old man was considered a top character in the Kunlun Realm. He had obtained the position of welcoming envoy only because of this old man's help. Hence, Wan Feng did not dare to show any disrespect on the surface.
The white-haired old man went over and patted Zong Liang's shoulder. He smiled and said, "Let's go. Bring me to meet your great-grandfather. I have not seen this old fellow for several hundred years."
After saying that, the white-haired old man waved his hand, and a pitch-black spatial tunnel appeared in space. Then, he leaped into it with Zong Liang. When the spatial tunnel slowly closed, the two of them were already five hundred kilometers away.
Wan Feng casually looked down and saw several cultivators fighting over the Auspicious Signs. He revealed an expression of disdain as he waved his hand and returned to the warship's hold.
At this moment, Xiao Chen, who was on the ground, withdrew his gaze from the jade warship. There was a barrier around the jade warship, preventing Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense from listening in on their conversation. However, he could clearly see the expression of the man in embroidered clothes.
A sense of disgust appeared in Xiao Chen's heart. He said to Jiang Chi, "First Elder, this Auspicious Sign is useless to me. I'll go back first."
Jiang Chi nodded and smiled. "In that case, you go first. For now, you will not be able to meet with the envoys of the upper realm. If there is any news, I will let you know."
--- Three days later, Xiao Chen practiced his Saber Techniques alone in an elegant courtyard, digesting the insights he gained from the consecutive intense battles.
In these close to two hundred battles, Xiao Chen had met with all sorts of opponents. No matter how strong or weak they were, as long as they had something special, Xiao Chen would remember them.
For example, the Divine Saber Gate's Blood Shadow Saber Technique, Gong Yangyu's Everlasting Heaven and Earth, Lin Fei's Earth Vein Saber Technique, and Xuanyuan Zhantian's Unending to the End of Time. These people's Martial Techniques all had their own strengths.
When Xiao Chen compared their Martial Techniques with his, he would discover some areas where he was lacking. Now that he calmed down and thought about it, it was of great help to him.
Xiao Chen had never treated the Five Nation Youth Competition as the end. His goal had always been clear: to follow in the Thunder King's footsteps and climb to the peak of the martial way. There was still a long way to go. There were still countless experts in the Kunlun Realm waiting for him to challenge.
Who defeated the Thunder King, Sang Mu, in the Kunlun Realm back then? What kind of existence did the Three Holy Masters's Holy Land have in the Kunlun Realm? Was the ancestor of the Xiao Clan one of the Holy Lands? These were all questions waiting for Xiao Chen to find out.
However, if Xiao Chen wanted to solve these mysteries, he would not be able to do so with his current strength. He needed to continue working hard and could not relax for even a moment.
"Thunder Shadow Chop!"
Xiao Chen shouted and took seven steps in the spacious courtyard. With each step, an afterimage appeared on the ground. Each afterimage sent out a saber strike. Their expressions were all different: rage, sorrow, agitation, or excitement.
A scarlet electric light leaped on the saber's edge. It contained a cold killing intent amidst the berserk. When one looked at it, it seemed to have many similarities to Gong Yangyu's Everlasting Universe Staff Technique, but there were also some differences.
Gong Yangyu's Everlasting Heaven and Earth Staff Technique did not merge his state into it. However, not only did Xiao Chen merge his two states into it, he even added his own understanding.
This was mental state. Xiao Chen's mental state was different with every saber strike. Seven steps, seven saber strikes. Every saber strike gave off a completely different feeling.
If Gong Yangyu were here, he would be so shocked that his jaw would fall off. Being able to send out seven sabers in seven steps already required extremely high comprehension ability.
Furthermore, Xiao Chen could merge two states into each saber strike. Furthermore, his mental state was different. This talent could only be described as demonic.
"Pu ci!"
The seven afterimages merged together. Xiao Chen swung his saber at the air. The formless space was like an invisible wall. With a 'chi la' sound, the saber light split it in half.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and sheathed his saber. He was very satisfied with the might of this saber strike.
This was the Thunder Shadow Chop that Xiao Chen comprehended from Gong Yangyu. He did not materialize his Essence. Instead, he only used half of it. To be able to achieve such might, splitting space in half, was something that Xiao Chen could not do before he came here.
