"Junior Martial Brother Wu, you've always been a maverick in the Sect. But if the Sect Leader knows that you're treating a disciple from a low-level sect in the Lower Province as a good friend, I'm afraid he'll be very disappointed." Lei Zheng coldly stared at Wu Lingkong. His tone was cold as if he really represented the elders of the Great Heavenly Thunder Sect.
"Take note, Chen Zong is my best friend." Wu Lingkong repeated. He no longer paid attention to Lei Zheng and the others. He turned around and strode away.
Jiang Hongling, who had been silent all this time, had a complicated expression. Her red lips moved as she was about to call out to Wu Lingkong. However, a tall figure blocked her line of sight. It was Lei Zheng.
"Junior Martial Brother Wu, I'll report your matter to the higher-ups." Lei Zheng's eyes flashed with a strange light. He immediately said to Wu Lingkong's back.
Wu Lingkong ignored him.
Just as Lei Zheng said, Wu Lingkong had always been a maverick in the Great Heavenly Thunder Sect. Since that was the case, why would he worry about Lei Zheng reporting it?
Seeing Wu Lingkong ignoring him, Lei Zheng's expression turned cold. He waved his hand and the table shattered. The dishes on it were all crushed into powder.
"Let's go." Lei Zheng angrily snorted. His tall figure stirred up a gust of wind as he strode away.
A trace of helplessness appeared on Jiang Hongling's pretty face. This was the scene she didn't want to see the most. Lei Feiming curled his lips and also left. He had long disliked this Second Senior Martial Brother of his.
Relying on his talent, he acted alone and didn't put them in his eyes.
…
"Brother Chen, I'm really sorry." Wu Lingkong found Chen Zong with an apologetic face.
"No need to take it to heart." Chen Zong faintly smiled.
Wu Lingkong had good intentions. However, some people didn't accept his good intentions and thought they were better than others. They looked down on Chen Zong who came from a humble background. It had nothing to do with Wu Lingkong.
Exhaling heavily, Wu Lingkong nodded. Soon after, he waved his hand and took out two bottles of fine wine. He handed one bottle to Chen Zong and began to drink it.
As they drank, the two of them chatted, exchanging their cultivation experiences and corroborating each other.
When night fell, Chen Zong would also stay on the city wall for a while to see if there were any Scarlet Demons. If there were, and they were not far from the battle, Chen Zong would hunt them down and obtain the Scarlet Soul Crystal. Of course, Chen Zong would be very careful to avoid being targeted.
Therefore, Chen Zong would choose a different section of the city wall every time. Lie Gu War City was huge, and Chen Zong had never encountered any danger.
In the blink of an eye, a few days had passed. Chen Zong was cultivating in his room when suddenly, a strong Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi swept out from the center of the Ancient War City like a gale, sweeping out in all directions.
This sudden burst of rich Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi shocked Chen Zong and everyone else in Lie Gu War City. One by one, they stopped what they were doing and looked towards the place where the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi fluctuations were coming from.
At the center of Lie Gu War City, a wave of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi rose into the sky, like a beacon fire, extremely eye-catching.
Then, a rumbling sound rang out and the entire War City began to shake.
Chen Zong rushed out of his room, Wu Lingkong also rushed out of his room. Many cultivators also rushed out of their rooms, using their movement techniques, they quickly flew towards the source of the fluctuation.
The closer they got, the stronger the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi fluctuations became, and the more obvious the ground shook. The Yuan Qi smoke was at least ten meters wide, like a white pillar that shot straight into the sky.
"What is it?"
"Is it some kind of Heaven and Earth treasure?"
From several thousand meters away, they stared at the Origin Energy smoke and guessed what it was.
The closer they got, the greater the pressure they felt.
The Yuan Qi smoke suddenly expanded to a hundred meters, and a shadow slowly emerged from the ground in the midst of the Yuan Qi smoke. One could vaguely make out that it was a stone tablet.
This Stone Tablet was huge!
The shaking of War City lasted for several dozen breaths, and the impact of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi also lasted for several dozen breaths before gradually weakening.
After about twenty breaths of time, all the shaking stopped, and the astonishing World's Origin Qi also dissipated. Everyone stared at the stone tablet in front of them with wide eyes.
The stone tablet was thirty meters tall and was completely black. It was thick and heavy, and it emitted a cold aura like that of iron and blood. It made people feel cold all over and their limbs go numb as soon as they got close to it.
"What is that thing?"
"A Stone Tablet, what is its use?"
Just as everyone was puzzled, a line of golden text appeared on the black Stone Tablet, allowing everyone to understand the name and purpose of this Stone Tablet.
Iron Battle Tablet!
Its purpose was to test a cultivator's attack power.
In other words, if a cultivator attacked the Battle Tablet, the Battle Tablet would rank the cultivator according to their attack power. There were only a hundred spots.
There were also some more detailed rules, such as the division of attack power.
"A Battle Tablet to test attack power, interesting."
"Let me try it first."
Suddenly, a person leaped up and flew through the air at an astonishing speed, landing in front of the Iron Battle Monument about ten meters away.
Everyone's eyes fell on that person.
That person stood still, as if he was thinking about something. After a dozen breaths, he raised his right hand. His palm was like a knife, and his spiritual energy surged. His palm chopped down, turning into a dazzling knife light that slashed towards Tie Zhanbei.
The cultivation displayed by this person was at the mid-stage Transcendent Realm Sixth Layer, and the seemingly casual saber light contained astonishing power.
The moment the dazzling saber light hit the Iron Battle Tablet, it shattered into countless light dots.
Then, a line of golden text appeared on the Iron Battle Tablet.
High Wind Lower District, Mountain Stream Saber Sect, He Ruiyan.
Attack Power: Seven Stars.
The text that appeared before the Iron Battle Tablet mentioned the division of attack power according to the stars, but what level six and a half stars was, no one knew.
The person who attacked was slightly startled, but after thinking for a few breaths, he attacked again. This time, he didn't do it casually, instead, he gathered his strength and grasped the saber at his waist with his right hand.
The aura of a mid-stage Transcendent Realm Sixth Layer erupted from his body in an instant, and with a shake of his right arm, he unsheathed his saber.
Saber light flashed, cutting through water.
A dazzling saber light nearly ten meters long streaked across the sky with astonishing sharpness. Man and saber became one, crossing ten meters in an instant, and with an indomitable momentum, the saber light fiercely slashed at the Iron Battle Tablet.
A dull momentum surged and layers of ripples spread out from the Iron Battle Tablet. The saber light dissipated, and the person who attacked it was sent flying backwards.
High Wind Lower District, Mountain Stream Saber Sect, He Ruiyan.
Attack Power: Nine Stars.
A casual attack without using a Spirit Artifact had a seven star attack power, while a tyrannical attack with a Spirit Artifact and Martial Skill had a nine star attack power. Comparing the aura and power fluctuations of the person who attacked before and after, the crowd gradually understood the difference between star attack power and attack power.
He Ruiyan stared at the two words nine stars, seemingly hesitating whether to attack again because the saber strike just now wasn't his full strength.
After hesitating for a moment, he temporarily gave up on the idea of attacking again.
After He Ruiyan left, a line of golden words appeared on the Iron Battle Tablet.
He Ruiyan: Attack Power: Nine Stars: High Wind Lower District, Mountain Stream Saber Sect.
His name and origin of attack power were clear at a glance.
Staring at the words on the Iron Battle Tablet, the others were also tempted. Immediately after, a second person leapt out and landed in front of the Iron Battle Tablet, also pausing for a dozen breaths before attacking.
Spirit energy surged from this person's body as his aura erupted, the peak of the Transcendent Realm Fifth Layer.
Clenching his fist, it was as if he was squeezing the air, and a dense brown spirit energy instantly filled his fist.
* Hong! *
A punch broke through the air, shaking the earth and the mountains. This punch seemed to be able to shatter the Iron Battle Tablet.
However, the moment the punch hit the Iron Battle Tablet, the Iron Battle Tablet remained motionless like a mountain. The fist energy was shattered, and ripples spread out.
The Iron Battle Tablet also showed the person's name and origin.
Attack Power: Six Stars.
The person frowned and was very dissatisfied with his attack power. He stepped back, gathered his strength, and with a roar, threw out another punch.
This punch looked even more imposing, as if it was even more tyrannical.
With a bang, the fist energy was shattered again, and ripples spread out.
Attack Power: Six Stars.
Perhaps the power of this punch was relatively stronger than the previous one, but it was not enough. Therefore, the evaluation was still six stars, not six and a half or seven stars.
The person's name and other information immediately appeared in the second column on the Iron Battle Tablet.
Then, a third person went to try, one after another.
Chen Zong and Wu Lingkong were not in a hurry, and they watched first.
As more and more people took the test, more and more names and information appeared on the Iron Battle Tablet. Not long after, there were more than twenty names. However, the one ranked first was still He Ruiyan, with an eight star attack power.
And the more people took the test, the more people understood the star attack power.
"My attack power should be above six stars, reaching six and a half stars shouldn't be a problem." Chen Zong secretly thought. As for whether it could reach seven stars, he would have to try it himself to know.
Wu Lingkong also estimated his attack power star level.
After watching for a while, some people began to leave. Chen Zong and Wu Lingkong also left and returned to their rooms to continue cultivating.
The Iron Battle Tablet had just appeared, and there were many people who were interested in it. Each of them wanted to take the test. Instead of waiting, it was better to wait for a period of time and let most people take the test.
Moreover, Chen Zong, Wu Lingkong, and some others were not willing to show their skills in front of everyone.
As night fell, the number of people taking the test gradually decreased until there was no one left.
After all, there were only a total of eight hundred people who arrived at Ancient War City this time.
Deep in the night, a figure streaked across the night sky at an astonishing speed, flashing a red light and landing in front of the Iron Battle Tablet.
If Chen Zong and Wu Lingkong saw it, they would realize that this person was the Central Region genius who used the powerful flame.
His eyes seemed to be burning with red flames as he stared at the pitch-black Iron Battle Tablet. He felt the cold aura spread in all directions, and the corner of his mouth curled up, showing a disdainful smile.
