"Brother Chen, how about we also take the test?"
Late at night, Wu Lingkong's voice came from outside the door.
"Good," Chen Zong opened the door and walked out. The two immediately used their movement skills and quickly flew towards the centre of War City.
When Chen Zong and Wu Lingkong approached, they saw a wisp of blazing flames flickering past, and then it was extinguished. When the two of them arrived, there was no one there, and only the remnant fluctuations of a blazing aura proved that not long ago, someone had come here to test their offensive strength.
"Brother Chen, look," Wu Lingkong pointed to the top of the Iron Battle Stele and said solemnly. Chen Zong also looked up and his pupils shrank.
The first column on the Iron Battle Stele was no longer He Ruiyan's name, but a brand new one.
Lou Yanji: Attack Power – 13 Stars: Heavy Nether Central Territory Six-Star Force, Bright Flame Palace
"Lou Yanji …" Chen Zong and Wu Lingkong exchanged a glance and combined the remnant heat fluctuations, a figure appeared in their minds at the same time.
"It's him." Chen Zong was somewhat certain that this was the person who had asked him to sell the Purple Cloud True Flame, the terrifying Early Stage Transcendent Realm Seventh Layer genius.
The other party's attack power had actually reached 13 Stars, which was undoubtedly astonishing.
However, what surprised Chen Zong and Wu Lingkong was that this person actually came from a Six-Star Force, not a Seven-Star Force like they had guessed.
In fact, this was something that Chen Zong and Wu Lingkong did not understand. Although there were no clear rules in the Upper Territory's Great Sects, the Central Territory's Seven-Star Forces did not allow their disciples to enter the Blazing Ancient Battlefield and participate in the Selection.
Because in any case, a Seven-Star Force had already entered the ranks of Great Sects and had its own dignity and face. If their disciples participated in the Selection, where would they place their own Sect?
Perhaps a Seven-Star Force in the Upper Territory was stronger than a Seven-Star Force in the Central Territory, but in any case, they were still Seven-Star Forces.
Therefore, even if someone from the Twelve Middle Territories entered the Blazing Ancient Battlefield to participate, the strongest would only be a Six-Star Force's disciple.
However, there was a clear difference between the 6-star forces of the central region and the 6-star forces of the lower region. The central region's cultivation environment was better, and other factors made the 6-star forces of the central region stronger than the 6-star forces of the lower region.
For example, the Great Heavenly Thunder Sect, which was one of the top six star forces in the 36 Lower Regions, could only be considered average in the 12 Middle Regions. There were many forces that were stronger than it.
However, the difference between a 6-star force and a 7-star force was very obvious. This Lou Yanji was so tyrannical, yet he came from a 6-star force. This made Chen Zong and Wu Lingkong feel even more pressure.
"Brother Chen, I'll go first." Wu Lingkong took a deep breath as a strand of fighting spirit surged out from within his heart and rose in high spirits.
Chen Zong retreated, leaving enough space for Wu Lingkong.
Wu Lingkong stared at the Steel Battle Monument, the dark night was unable to cover it.
His right hand landed on the saber hilt as his aura spread out. The Six Spiritual Wheels in his body revolved and a shocking amount of spiritual energy and extraordinary mystic power gushed out.
With a swish, a black saber light tore through the night and slashed at the Steel Battle Monument at an astonishing speed.
A light and dull sound rang out as the black saber light shattered and blended into the night.
With a flash of golden light, words appeared.
The attack power of Wu Lingkong's saber had reached the eight-star level.
An eight-star level attack was inferior to He Ruiyan's. One had to know that Wu Lingkong's cultivation was at the peak of the Transcendent Realm Sixth Layer, which was even higher than He Ruiyan's. However, the saber attack just now was just a test, Wu Lingkong's true strength would be revealed next.
With a loud bang, an extremely tyrannical aura burst out from Wu Lingkong's body. His Six Spiritual Wheels pushed to their full strength as his spiritual energy surged out without reservation. Black lightning directly covered the long saber and a terrifying aura spread out in all directions, causing Chen Zong's expression to change slightly.
"Heavenly Thunder Slash!"
Holding the saber with both hands, Wu Lingkong erupted with all his strength. Accompanied by a deep roar, his aura became even more astonishing as he slashed out.
The black lightning was even darker than the night sky, tearing the night sky apart with unparalleled speed. With a loud bang, a dull sound wave rolled out, mixed with layers of ripples, wreaking havoc in all directions.
Even so, the Steel Battle Monument remained motionless, as majestic as a mountain, as if it had merged with the entire Ancient War City.
With a flash of golden light, words appeared.
Attack Power: Ten Stars.
Ten Stars, one more than He Ruiyan, but the difference of one Star was very obvious.
In fact, a difference of half a Star was quite obvious, let alone a difference of one Star.
Having personally fought twice, Wu Lingkong was even more aware of the difference between each Star level. Therefore, when he saw Lou Yanji's attack power of thirteen Stars, he felt an indescribable pressure, almost suffocating him.
With a difference of three Stars, Lou Yanji could easily kill him.
However, Wu Lingkong did not feel discouraged because of this. On the contrary, his heart was aroused with an even stronger fighting spirit.
There were more geniuses among geniuses, and more powerful among the powerful. No one was truly invincible. Everything was relative. Only by sticking to one's heart and working hard could one continuously surpass and finally reach the peak.
Calming down, Wu Lingkong retreated to one side, giving Chen Zong the space.
Chen Zong stepped out, stopping about ten meters away from the Steel Battle Monument. His eyes stared at the monument. Suddenly, Chen Zong felt that there seemed to be some kind of connection between him and the Steel Battle Monument. Vaguely, there was a thought reminding him to report his name, origin, and other information.
Chen Zong did not open his mouth, but reported his name and origin with his thoughts.
After reporting, another thought came, asking Chen Zong to make a move to test his attack power.
Without drawing his sword, he only used his fingers as a sword to slash. A green sword light tore through the night sky, striking the Steel Battle Monument.
The sword light shattered, and the golden words appeared.
"Five stars!" Chen Zong frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.
He did not draw his sword, nor did he use all of his spiritual power. He only used most of his spiritual power, so five stars was normal.
Then, Chen Zong pulled out his sword, and the five Spiritual Wheels in his body revolved at full speed. The Azure Cloud power mixed with his Spiritual Qi was completely mobilized, and a hundred percent burst out, surging into the Profound Light Sword. The Profound Light Sword's power was completely aroused.
The Azure Cloud Force filled the sky, and the green sword light pierced through the air, striking the Steel Battle Monument again. The sword light shattered.
Attack power: six stars.
"Azure Cloud Absolution!"
Chen Zong attacked for the third time, and this time, his sword was even more powerful.
Attack power: six and a half stars.
"Half-star improvement." Chen Zong muttered to himself. Comparing.
An attack that used seventy percent of the Azure Cloud Force was five stars, while an attack that used the Dark Light Sword and one hundred percent of the Azure Cloud Force was six stars.
The attack power of the Azure Cloud Absolution was six and a half stars.
Chen Zong calculated in his mind.
However, six and a half stars was not Chen Zong's maximum attack power.
He attacked again, and this time, Chen Zong changed the Azure Cloud Force to the Heart Sword Force. The Heart Sword Force was much stronger than the Azure Cloud Force.
First Strike: Azure Cloud Absolution!
This sword strike was faster and stronger.
The sword light dispersed, and the golden words appeared again.
Attack power: six and a half stars.
Chen Zong frowned slightly. He was sure that the power of this strike was stronger than the previous one, but it was still judged as six and a half stars.
In other words, as long as it was not seven stars, it would be judged as six and a half stars. It did not matter if it was six and a half stars or very close to seven stars.
There were already a hundred names on the Steel Battle Monument. Wu Lingkong's ten stars was ranked second, and the first was naturally the thirteen stars Lou Yanji.
He Ruiyan was pushed to the third place.
As for the last place, his attack power was seven stars. In other words, Chen Zong's six and a half stars was not even on the list.
Although he was not sure what the purpose of the Steel Battle Monument was, he guessed that it was not just a test of attack power. Perhaps it was also a method of identification by the upper district's sects. Therefore, being in the top hundred of the Steel Battle Monument might be beneficial.
With that thought, Chen Zong prepared to attack with all his might.
One hundred percent spiritual energy!
Azure Cloud Force!
Heart Sword Force!
One hundred percent dragon energy!
Dark Light Sword Force!
It could be said that other than the power of the Purple Cloud True Flame, Chen Zong used all of his power.
Furthermore, this sword was directly slashed out, approaching the Iron Battle Tablet, and using close-range combat methods to attack the Iron Battle Tablet.
Only in close combat could part of the dragon energy's power be unleashed, and the power of his strike would be even stronger.
Slash!
This strike caused Wu Lingkong to squint his eyes, and he was surprised.
The sword light dispersed, and a strong rebounding force caused the Dark Light Sword to tremble. Wu Lingkong was also sent flying for more than ten meters.
Golden words appeared.
Attack Power: Seven and a half stars.
"Seven and a half stars." Chen Zong narrowed his eyes slightly, "If combined with the power of the Purple Cloud True Flame, it should be able to reach eight stars."
One had to know that Chen Zong's cultivation was only at the late stage of the Transcendent Fifth Layer, and his Secret Art was only at the Spirit Grade Low-Rank, while his martial arts were only at the Spirit Grade Mid-Rank.
Whether it was his cultivation, Secret Art, or Martial Art, in everyone's opinion, he was at the bottom of the middle class.
After all, even the weakest disciple from the thirty-six lower and twelve middle fields was at least five stars. Only Chen Zong had a four-star background.
A four-star force's disciple who cultivated a Spirit Grade Low-Rank Secret Art and Martial Art was only at the late stage of the Transcendent Fifth Layer, yet he could display an attack power of seven and a half stars. What if he cultivated a Spirit Grade High-Rank Secret Art and Martial Art?
What if his cultivation was at the Transcendent Sixth Layer?
Wu Lingkong thought about it carefully and felt a chill run down his spine.
If that was the case, Chen Zong's attack power would not be a problem for him to reach ten stars, perhaps even surpassing his own.
A seven and a half star attack power caused Chen Zong's name to flicker and appear on the Iron Battle Stele, ranking eighty-seventh. As for the name at the bottom, it was pushed out and disappeared.
However, there were still some people who had not participated in the test, and even those who had participated in the test, whether they had used their full strength or not was still unknown.
But since his name was already on the Iron Battle Stele, Chen Zong decided to leave it at that for the time being.
"If the attack power of the Purple Cloud True Flame is expected to reach eight stars, then what if I use the Blue Cloud Shatter?" Chen Zong suddenly had a thought.
Suddenly, Chen Zong had an impulse to try and see how many stars the attack power of the Blue Cloud Shatter could reach, but soon, he suppressed this impulse.
