Chapter 24

Returning to the sect, Zhan Chen heard others talking about him along the way. Even some unfamiliar outer sect disciples greeted him. The feeling of being respected was not ordinary. A trace of pride rose in Zhan Chen's heart.

At this time, he heard two outer sect disciples talking on the side of the road. One of them said, "Hey, did you hear? That Lan Xing fellow also passed the outer sect examination this time. He's going to enter our outer sect. "

"Lan Xing?" The other person heard this name and frowned. "That noble young master only knows how to bully others. Entering our outer sect is definitely not a good thing."

"Isn't that so? From now on, our outer sect is going to be lively. We have to see him. We have to be careful. It's easy to be a gentleman, but it's hard to guard against a villain! "

"Don't say anymore. Look who's here …"

The two people who were talking looked at Zhan Chen at the same time. Without another word, they hurriedly left.

Zhan Chen was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled and shook his head. He continued walking forward. He was not in the mood to care about Lan Xing. Right now, the most important thing to him was how to obtain more martial skills and how to break through to the Martial Master realm.

However, just because he did not care about others did not mean that others had forgotten about him. When he reached the bottom of his dormitory, he heard a strange and familiar voice. "Zhan Chen, stop right there!"

Zhan Chen stopped in his tracks. Turning around, he discovered that the person who called out to him was Lan Xing, Young Master Lan. Beside him were two outer sect disciples of the twelfth layer. They seemed to be his followers. Thus, he smiled and greeted him. "Young Master Lan, have you recovered from your injuries?"

"You …" Lan Xing's eyes widened. He pointed his finger at Zhan Chen. He was so angry that he could not speak.

At this time, the two lackeys beside him could not help but speak. "Shut up, lowly slave! Look at how you speak to Young Master Lan. "

Zhan Chen wasn't intimidated by their might. He looked at them fearlessly and said, "Our sect doesn't have any lowly slaves. We're all fellow disciples."

At this time, Lan Xing spoke. "Zhan Chen, don't try to show off with your words. How about we go to the martial arts field and fight?"

"Young Master Lan, didn't we fight last month? At that time, I was only a tenth layer Martial Disciple and you did not defeat me. Now that I am a twelfth layer Martial Disciple, you are even less of a match. "

"Hmph, who knows what despicable methods you used. I do not admit that battle! "Hmph, who knows what despicable methods you used. I will not admit it!

Zhan Chen looked at Lan Xing's flustered and exasperated expression and immediately felt bored. Just as he was about to turn around and go upstairs, he suddenly changed his mind. He turned around and smiled. "You asked me to compete with you, so I should do as you say? "What?"

"What do you want to bet?"

"If I can defeat you, you have to give me a sword technique of the mid-grade of the yellow rank or above."

"Zhan Of Of.

Without another word, Zhan Chen turned around and was about to go upstairs.

"Fine! I will bet with you! "Lan Xing couldn't help but shout. He really wanted to step on Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen turned his head and said, "I want to see what you want to bet first."

At this time, he saw Lan Xing's hand reach for a pouch on his waist. Zhan Chen's eyes couldn't help but narrow. Could this be a Heaven and Earth Pouch?

Sure enough, Lan Xing took out a book from his Heaven and Earth Pouch and waved it in front of Zhan Chen. He flaunted, "Look, this is a Heaven and Earth Pouch. Country bumpkin, you haven't seen it before, right? This is the one I eliminated!"

Zhan Chen's eyes flashed with a trace of desire as he said, "Fine! I will fight this battle! "

Thus, the two of them walked towards the Battle Academy. Although the Golden Elephant Sect encouraged disciples to compete with each other, they opposed private fights. Especially in the sect, they needed to apply to the Battle Academy.

Zhan Chen accompanied Lan Xing to the Battle Academy. Tang Chuan happened to be there, so the two of them met again. When Tang Chuan saw the two of them, he was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, "Zhan Chen, Lan Xing, what are you two doing here?"

Lan Xing rushed to say, "I want to fight with this guy!"

Tang Chuan looked at him and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes. He thought to himself, "A domineering guy."

Zhan Chen bowed and said, "Elder Tang, Lan Xing is not satisfied with the result of our last fight and wants to fight with me again. Thus, the two of us have come to apply for a fight."

"Oh? There is such a thing? Coincidentally, I have some free time today. Why don't I be the referee for your fight? "Tang Chuan said with interest.

He was not interested in all the disciples, but he was especially interested in Zhan Chen. In the final stage of the Martial Competition, he could not have been wrong about Zhan Chen's attack. That was the power of a Profound Ranked Martial Technique, and Profound Ranked Martial Techniques were something that only Martial Saints were qualified to use.

According to the previous analysis, Zhan Chen was a person without any power to rely on. Yet, he was able to display so many miraculous abilities. Tang Chuan faintly felt that he was hiding some secrets.

Lan Xing and Zhan Chen were both stunned. It was rare for an elder to be interested in watching a fight between outer sect disciples.

Lan Xing was even secretly pleased with himself, "Could it be that Tang Chuan is also afraid of my grandfather's strength?"

Thus, the three of them walked towards the Martial Training Grounds.

Zhan Chen and Lan Xing were going to fight, and Elder Tang Chuan was actually going to personally watch. This news spread like wildfire. In a short period of time, all the disciples who were free came to watch. One was the champion of this month's Martial Competition, and the other was the doted grandson of the sect's elder. Many disciples even started betting on who would win.

The outside of the Martial Training Grounds was very lively, but on the inside, Zhan Chen and Lan Xing were in a state of mutual hostility. Lan Xing pointed his sword at Zhan Chen's nose and said, "Zhan Chen, this time, you won't be so lucky! My aptitude and talent, as well as the cultivation methods and secret manuals I possess, are far superior to yours. "

Zhan Chen smiled slightly and replied, "No matter how many times you come, the result will be the same."

Lan Xing was burning with anger. His feet moved in a mysterious footwork, and at the same time, his hands displayed a high-level sword technique. He rushed towards Zhan Chen, slashing his sword towards his face. Zhan Chen used his sword to block it, and the two of them began fighting.

Gradually, Lan Xing's footwork became faster and faster, and the sword techniques in his hands were like flowers scattered by a celestial maiden.

Zhan Chen found it more and more difficult to deal with them. Gradually, he couldn't keep up with the speed of Lan Xing's sword. He thought to himself, "Sure enough, without a powerful sword technique, I will be at a disadvantage."

On the other hand, Lan Xing's sword techniques became more and more fierce. He laughed arrogantly and said, "Country bumpkin, you really can't hold on anymore, right? I will use this move to defeat you!"

Zhan Chen became vigilant. Sure enough, when he saw Lan Xing block his sword, Lan Xing suddenly stabbed towards his chest! This sword attack was released after accumulating power, and also gathered his True Qi. It was three times faster than ordinary sword techniques.

Seeing that Zhan Chen was unable to avoid it, he blinked his eyes slightly, and his body suddenly twisted in an inconceivable way, dodging the sword attack that seemed certain to hit him.

Now, Zhan Chen's use of the Eye of Dao had reached the realm of being able to control and release it freely. It had even become a kind of instinct. During the battle, if someone didn't pay special attention to his eyes, they wouldn't be able to notice this small action of his.

On the other side, Lan Xing used too much strength, and his sword missed. For a moment, the cave door opened, and his chest was given to Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen smiled slightly, and gathered all his strength into his left fist, and heavily punched towards Lan Xing's chest.

A "Peng!" Sound rang out. A few of Lan Xing's ribs were broken, and he let out a miserable scream like a pig being slaughtered. His body flew into the air, and he fell heavily on the ground, sliding back more than ten meters. This time, his injuries were even more serious than the previous time!

The situation was very similar. Both times, Lan Xing had been defeated in the same way, and he was so angry that he almost fainted.

Zhan Chen didn't follow up with another attack. Instead, he stood at the side and smiled, waiting for Lan Xing to crawl up from the ground.

Lan Xing tried to struggle up, but just as he got up halfway, a sharp pain assaulted him, and he fell on his butt again.

At this time, he heard Zhan Chen say, "Young Master Lan, do we have to go again?"

Lan Xing was so angry that his teeth were about to shatter. He had no choice but to squeeze out a few words from between his teeth, "I admit defeat!"

"Zhan Chen wins!" Tang Chuan stood up, and announced with a smile.

Lan Xing's two followers hurriedly ran onto the stage, helped Lan Xing up, and were about to walk out of the martial arts field.

At this time, they heard Zhan Chen call out from behind, "Young Master Lan, you seem to have forgotten something!"

Lan Xing's figure paused for a moment, and he took out the 《Swift Rain Sword Technique》 from his Heaven and Earth Bag, and threw it to Zhan Chen from afar. Then, with the support of his followers, he walked away without looking back.

Zhan Chen looked at the secret manual in his hand with joy, and thought, "Although this Lan Xing is not a good person, he really is a good fortune boy. Now that I have the sword technique and footwork, someone will send me a pillow when I'm sleepy."

After putting away the sword technique, he no longer hesitated, and left everyone behind to hurry back. Right now, he had to quickly go into seclusion to comprehend the sword technique.

What he didn't know was that Tang Chuan was watching his back from afar.

Ten days later, on a grassland, Zhan Chen used the Gale Steps, and brandished the Swift Rain Sword. His aura was really like a violent storm. Everywhere he passed, sand and pebbles flew. The sword in his hand was like a cold star, layer upon layer like a dense rain.

This was the unique feature of the Swift Rain Sword Technique. The sword moves were closely linked, and although the attack range was small, the sword moves were extremely fast, and the enemy that was caught in the net would be exhausted, unable to catch their breath.

No matter how powerful the opponent was, as long as they were suppressed by the Swift Rain Sword Technique, there would always be a moment when they would reveal a flaw, and it would be difficult for them to escape the fate of being defeated.

After finishing a set of sword techniques, Zhan Chen couldn't help but let out a long roar towards the sky. He still felt that he hadn't had enough, and his chest was bursting with pride. Finally, he was not afraid of any opponent at the same level as him!

After calming down, Zhan Chen thought, "It took me a whole ten days to truly grasp the essence of this Swift Rain Sword Technique, and it took me even more time than practicing the Gale Steps. It seems that the difficulty of practicing a mid-grade yellow-class technique is much higher than that of a low-grade yellow-class technique."

He couldn't help but think of the time when he was practicing the Thunder-breaking Sword Technique, and it took him a few months to truly master it.

"It seems that the higher the level of the martial technique, the longer the time needed to master it. High-level martial techniques can't be easily mastered." Zhan Chen finally came to this conclusion.
