Chapter 105

Seeing that Zhan Chen and Li Jianchen had formed a temporary alliance, Liu Wuxin sneered again, "Hmph, you're just a lowly disciple of a small sect. Even three or five more of you won't be able to defeat me!"

"Cut the crap. Take my sword first!" Li Jianchen waved the Dragoncry Sword in his hand and slashed at Liu Wuxin.

The sword Qi had an indomitable momentum, locking onto Liu Wuxin so that he could not easily dodge and could only take it head-on.

"What kind of sword intent is this?!" Liu Wuxin's disdainful expression suddenly turned serious. He quickly pointed his sword three times in a row and barely managed to resolve Li Jianchen's sword.

"Liu Wuxin, how's my sword?" Li Jianchen asked proudly.

Liu Wuxin's face darkened, and he said, "Hmph! It's just so-so. I've underestimated you. "

"Watch me defeat you!" Li Jianchen struck out with his sword again, clashing with Liu Wuxin. Every single strike contained unmatched power, forcing Liu Wuxin to use several strikes to nullify his attacks.

Obviously, unlike Liu Wuxin's sword intent that strengthened the speed of his strikes, Li Jianchen's sword intent upgraded its offensive power, taking the route of breaking through technique with brute force.

This scene also deeply shocked Zhan Chen. He felt a strong sense of unwillingness in his heart as he held back his anger, "I didn't expect Li Jianchen to become so powerful. With his strength, he can probably compete with Liu Wuxin. In this way, I've become the weakest one. No, I have to become stronger! I have to comprehend the mysteries of the Formless Golden Body Formula immediately and have my own martial arts conception! "

Thinking of this, Zhan Chen also pounced at Liu Wuxin, turning his unwillingness into a fierce attack.

The Dragoncry Sword danced like a silver snake, while the Tiger Roar Sword created wind. The two complemented each other and were unparalleled, forcing Liu Wuxin to retreat step by step. Finally, with a feint, he retreated while shouting to Feng Qingyang who was not far away, "Feng Qingyang, let's retreat!"

On the other side, Feng Qingyang was also being suppressed by Su Yun because of his injured arm. He had long wanted to retreat. Hearing Liu Wuxin's shout, he immediately activated the jade talisman in his hand, turned into a stream of light, and disappeared from the divine hall.

Then, Liu Wuxin also pinched the jade talisman in his hand and disappeared from the third floor.

Everything was settled in the end. Li Jianchen turned around and stared at Zhan Chen for a while before saying, "Zhan Chen, you are someone I value highly. I look forward to our next battle. At that time, I will definitely not lose."

After saying this, he also activated the jade talisman.

Zhan Chen silently watched him disappear and murmured, "I won't give you the chance to surpass me!"

At this time, Su Yun also came to Zhan Chen's side and said to him, "Zhan Chen, let's also leave."

Zhan Chen nodded and curiously injected some Qi into the jade talisman in his hand. He only felt an irresistible attraction from the jade talisman in his hand, dragging him into a huge black hole.

Then, his vision darkened and his mind became dazed. It felt like he had gone through a long journey, but it also felt like only a blink of an eye. The scenery around him changed rapidly, and he arrived in a completely sealed stone room.

"Where is this place?" Zhan Chen could not help but cry out. This was completely different from what he had imagined. According to the facts he was familiar with, he should have been transported out of the secret realm after activating the jade talisman, and not into a stone room like this.

For a moment, a fear of the unknown began to sprout in his heart. However, as a cultivator who had experienced many storms, he quickly adjusted his mentality and began to pay attention to the details around him.

This stone room was only ten meters square and more than five meters high. There was nothing else in it, except for a black stone tablet about two meters high in the center. The stone tablet was made of some unknown material. It seemed to be made of jade, but it was not jade. It was abnormally hard.

Zhan Chen explored it, but found nothing. For a moment, he was at a loss of how to leave this place.

Just as he was feeling anxious, a figure appeared next to him out of thin air. Zhan Chen was shocked. He turned his head and couldn't help but cry out, "You are … a doppelganger!"

Yes, it was the doppelganger of Taoist Zhen Wu. Zhan Chen's heart was full of doubts. He hurriedly asked, "Senior, why am I here?"

"Because you are the chosen one." The doppelganger finally spoke with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Zhan Chen asked confusedly.

Seeing that he was still confused, Taoist Zhen Wu continued to explain to him, "Because you have met the conditions to receive the inheritance of this secret realm. In other words, you have passed the three trials perfectly and become the chosen one. You are qualified to receive the highest reward of the Sacred Hall of Real Martial Arts."

Zhan Chen quickly digested his words. It seemed that this was a good thing. He was going to have a greater adventure. However, there was still a trace of doubt in his heart. He asked again, "Senior, there is one thing that I don't understand."

"Go ahead."

"That's why my performance wasn't perfect. I admit that I was the one who destroyed the first stone statue and my performance was outstanding. But for the second test, if I'm not wrong, I need to comprehend the Martial Dao Intent. But my performance wasn't perfect because I didn't comprehend the Martial Dao Intent at all."

Taoist Zhen Wu was stunned, and suddenly laughed. "Hahaha, Zhan Chen, you are really smart. You can guess the hidden purpose behind these trials. Yes, defeating the first stone statue is the first condition to pass the trial perfectly, but you know what? No one has been able to achieve this condition for several years, so successfully destroying the first stone statue is the first condition to receive the inheritance of the Sacred Hall! "

"But I have to correct what you said about the condition to pass the second trial perfectly. Yes, the second trial tests the martial artist's talent, which is to comprehend the realm of martial arts. However, if you can pass the trial without comprehending the realm of martial arts, doesn't that mean that you have unlimited potential? Therefore, as the examinee, I am overjoyed by your performance in the second trial! "

Zhan Chen was stunned, and then nodded. It was true. If he had comprehended the realm of martial arts, even Liu Wuxin himself might be able to defeat him.

Seeing that he was deep in thought, the doppelganger smiled and continued to explain, "And it is not that you have not comprehended the realm of martial arts. In my eyes, you have quietly pushed the door of the realm of martial arts a little. It is just that your heart is confused and you have not found the path you want to walk."

Zhan Chen suddenly came to a realization. "Could it be when I used the Daluo Golden Body?" But he was confused again. What was the martial arts he was pursuing?

At this time, the doppelganger said again, "As for the third trial, it is much easier. That is to get a treasure."

At this point, Zhan Chen understood why he was chosen. In fact, everything was already decided in the first trial. So he turned his attention to the so-called "Sacred Hall Inheritance" and asked excitedly, "Senior, what is the inheritance of the Sacred Hall of True Martial?"

Taoist Zhen Wu smiled and turned around. He pointed at the black stone tablet in the middle of the room and said, "It's in there. It's a secret method of the Highest Grade of the Profound Rank that I comprehended in my early years. It's called the True Martial Explosive Force Formula. It has a significant effect on warriors below the Martial Sage Realm."

"It is a secret method!" Zhan Chen was extremely excited. Among all cultivation methods, secret methods were the most precious! Even a Lower Grade Yellow Level secret method could make a Martial Venerable desperate, let alone a secret method of the Highest Grade of the Profound Level. It was a priceless treasure for a large sect! The large sects of the Northern Sea Continent were places where Martial Saints could be born.

The way Zhan Chen looked at the stone tablet in front of him was different now. This was because the secret of the Highest Grade of the Profound Level secret method was hidden in it!

"Come, sit in front of this stone tablet. I will open the Inheritance Stele for you," the doppelganger said.

Zhan Chen quickly followed the doppelganger's instructions and sat in front of the stone tablet. He stared at the stone tablet in front of him.

At this time, Taoist Zhen Wu waved his hand and gently brushed the stone tablet. A magical scene appeared. The black stone tablet flashed with a little light, like the light emitted by fireflies at night.

"Use your Divine Sense to enter the stone tablet! After you go in, remember to memorize all the contents. You can't make any mistakes! "

Zhan Chen hurriedly used his Divine Sense to explore the stone tablet. Paragraphs of scriptures and complicated meridian flow diagrams continuously entered his mind. Zhan Chen first received the information in one gulp and firmly remembered it in the depths of his mind.

After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes. Seeing this, Taoist Zhen Wu smiled and asked, "Have you memorized everything?"

Zhan Chen nodded in relief.

"Okay, I will send you out now!" The doppelganger waved his hand and Zhan Chen's figure disappeared in the Inheritance Space.
