(Fourth Update)
"Kill!"
The sword light flowed through the air like frost and snow, causing the temperature to drop drastically. The Black Wasp King was cut in half, and the rest of the Black Wasps were also swept into the sword light. All of them died, falling to the ground like leaves.
With a twist of his wrist, the Eight Transformations of One Sword was executed to the extreme, killing another eight Black Wasps.
As he passed by Black Wasp Mountain, Chen Zong intentionally found a swarm of Black Wasps to practice his swordsmanship. This was something that he would not have dared to do in the past, something that many martial artists would not even dare to do.
A single Black Wasp was not a threat at all. It was not even a monster and could be easily killed by a normal martial artist. Once they formed a swarm of hundreds and thousands, and under the leadership of the Black Wasp King, they could unleash even more terrifying power. Even a Qi and Blood Realm Stage Nine martial artist would not dare to provoke them.
Chen Zong did not perform any special swordsmanship. His goal was to train himself.
He repeatedly performed the Eight Transformations of One Sword to familiarize himself with it.
In the end, more than a thousand Black Wasps died under his sword. Every single one of them was either pierced through or sliced open. He could not have done it if he had used less strength, but if he had used more strength, it would have been too much.
"The Eight Transformations of One Sword is my limit now." Chen Zong muttered to himself, "Being able to reach this step in such a short time is inseparable from the mental transformation of the Black House. It stimulated my own potential, but now, all of the stimulated potential has been transformed. I don't know how long it will take to reach the Nine Transformations of One Sword."
Regardless, the level of the Eight Transformations of One Sword was far ahead of many Qi and Blood Realm martial artists. Even many Qi Refining Realm martial artists could not achieve this.
There were many monsters in Black Wasp Mountain, but none of them could threaten Chen Zong. Currently, even a Level 2 Upper Beast was no match for him.
After crossing Black Wasp Mountain and arriving at the Rapid River, Chen Zong looked at the raging water and thought, "I wonder if I can use the Wind and Water Tread to cross it directly?"
The lake in Little Lake Town was only a few dozen meters wide, so Chen Zong could cross it. However, the Rapid River was a few hundred meters wide. Moreover, the lake was very calm, while the Rapid River was very rapid, which would indirectly increase the difficulty of crossing it.
"I'll give it a try." Chen Zong was eager to give it a try. If his cultivation level was only at the seventh stage of the Blood Qi realm and his True Sword Heavenly Supreme Skill was only at the third stage, he would definitely not have such thoughts. However, now that his True Sword Heavenly Supreme Skill had reached the fourth stage and his cultivation level was at the eighth stage of the Blood Qi realm, things were different.
As the saying goes, those who are skilled are bold, and this is exactly what it means.
Chen Zong waited until the Rapid River's flow became relatively calm. He took a deep breath and adjusted his physical strength and Qi and blood to their peak condition. Then, he took out a few Energy Pills and held them in his hand. Using the Wind Riding Technique and Water Treading Technique, Chen Zong flew out as light as a swallow.
After taking three meters, he landed on the surface of the river. The water rippled, and because of the current, there were splashes. Chen Zong's feet sank down to his ankles. It was as if he had stepped on a stone. Borrowing the force, he leaped up and flew forward.
Each step covered three meters. Every step was swift, as if he was riding the wind.
Not long after, Chen Zong arrived at the middle section of the Rapid River. He had used up eighty percent of his physical strength, but he still had half of his Qi and blood left.
Using the Wind Riding Technique and Water Treading Technique to cross the river were different from running on the ground. Running on the ground allowed one to borrow more strength and save energy. However, crossing the river required more energy to maintain the lightness of one's body.
He hurriedly consumed the Energy Pills in his hand. They turned into a warm current that spread throughout his body and restored his physical strength. As for his Qi and blood, they were automatically replenished by the Blood Sinking Jade Essence.
Not daring to be distracted, Chen Zong continued to use the Wind Riding Technique. At this moment, a large fish monster broke out of the water. It opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and tried to bite Chen Zong. Chen Zong had no choice but to draw his sword. The frost-like gleam of the sword sliced through the air and cut the sword in half. Blood dyed the river red and spread out.
The monsters in the Rapid River were generally only Level 1 monsters. They were not a threat. However, humans lived on land and were not used to water. It was inevitable that they would be at a disadvantage in such an environment.
After using all his strength, Chen Zong finally crossed the Rapid River. At that moment, he felt completely exhausted and fell to the ground, gasping for air.
After a while, he recovered some of his physical strength. He hurriedly took out an Energy Pill and consumed it to speed up his recovery. As for his Qi and blood, the Blood Sinking Jade Essence would automatically replenish it.
After his physical strength and Qi and blood were fully recovered, Chen Zong used the Wind Riding Technique again. He covered three meters in one step and quickly moved forward.
This was the Galloping Horse Plain. The consumption of the Wind Riding Technique was more than ten times less than when crossing the Rapid River. In addition, Chen Zong had reserved some of his energy. The consumption and recovery formed a cycle. Although it could not be sustained forever, it greatly extended the time.
A few hours later, Chen Zong stepped into the Bright Sword Hall.
Bai Yushan received the news immediately.
"You're still alive? What the hell are you doing?" Bai Yushan was stunned at first, then he was furious.
When Chen Zong asked for a month's leave, Bai Yushan originally wanted to make things difficult for him. But after thinking about it, he immediately agreed and transferred a Qi Refinement Realm expert to prepare for the assassination.
Chen Zong was only a Qi and Blood Realm martial practitioner. No matter how strong he was, there was a limit to his strength. A Qi Refinement Realm martial practitioner could instantly kill him in one move and eliminate any future troubles. Otherwise, Chen Zong's astonishing growth speed made Bai Yushan a little afraid.
He did not expect that even a Qi Refinement Realm martial practitioner could not kill Chen Zong. What was going on? Where did he go wrong?
The matter of sending a Qi Refinement Realm martial practitioner was very secretive. Otherwise, it would not be good for him if the Seven Lights Martial Arts Academy found out. The Seven Lights Martial Arts Academy would not allow such a thing to happen.
Now that Chen Zong had returned safe and sound, the chances of getting rid of him were slim.
"Damn it!" Bai Yushan was furious. He pulled out his sword and shattered all the tables and chairs in front of him. Ever since Chen Zong came to the Glorious Sword Hall, he had been giving him trouble. Now, it was like a psychological shadow was entrenched in his heart. He would not be happy if he did not get rid of him.
After venting his anger, Bai Yushan returned to his original appearance. He tidied up a little and walked out with a dignified look. Naturally, there would be someone to clean up the things inside. In the Glorious Sword Hall, he was the chief senior brother. When he appeared in front of others, he had to act like a senior brother.
Chen Zong did not return to courtyard 88 directly. Instead, he went to visit Li Zhenshi. After these days, Li Zhenshi's injuries should be completely healed and he should be able to cultivate normally.
Chen Zong did not have many friends in the Seven Lights Martial Arts Academy. Li Zhenshi was one of the few, and Tang Junluo could be considered one as well. However, they were in different halls. Everyone was seizing the time to cultivate and improve their cultivation and strength. There was almost no contact between them.
After chatting with Li Zhenshi for a while, Chen Zong went to Chen Chuyun's place.
"Little brother, your cultivation …" Chen Chuyun's beautiful eyes widened in incomparable surprise.
"I was lucky and broke through." Chen Zong smiled. Even if he treated Chen Chuyun as his sister, Chen Zong did not plan to explain in detail. There was no need for that.
The two chatted for a while. Chen Zong also talked about the recent situation in the Clan Hall before returning to his own courtyard.
"It has been more than two months since I entered the Seven Lights Martial Arts Academy. My cultivation has risen from the fifth level of the Qi and Blood realm to the eighth level of the Qi and Blood realm. This speed is undoubtedly fast, but it is not due to luck. It is due to my own hard work that I managed to achieve this by going through life and death situations time and time again."
"Now that I have eight transformations of the One Sword, it will probably be difficult to improve it in a short period of time. My cultivation has also reached the early stage of the Qi and Blood realm. It will be even more difficult to reach the ninth level of the Qi and Blood realm. It will also take some time. Other than that, I have to cultivate my sword and movement skills. Oh right, I can't neglect my body tempering art. I have to reach the first stage as soon as possible."
Chen Zong's mind was clear. He made a short-term cultivation plan and goal for himself.
During the time he left the Gui Clan, he did not cultivate his body tempering art and fell behind a little.
"But before that, I'll challenge Bai Yushan first." Chen Zong smiled.
Bai Yushan's strength should be about the same as Zhanying's. Chen Zong was able to kill the Drizzle Gang leader Xu Mingzhi without using his full strength. He should be able to contend with Zhanying and Bai Yushan. If he used his full strength, he might be able to defeat Bai Yushan.
Defeating Bai Yushan and pulling him down from his position as the chief senior brother of the Bright Sword Hall would undoubtedly be a very satisfying thing. Bai Yushan would have an even harder time dealing with him after losing his position as the chief senior brother.
Moreover, once he became the chief senior brother, he would be able to enjoy treatment that normal disciples did not have.
No matter how he looked at it, defeating Bai Yushan was very worthwhile and imperative. Previously, he was not strong enough, but now, he should be strong enough.
Even if he could not defeat Bai Yushan, Chen Zong was confident that he could escape unscathed. He knew exactly how strong Bai Yushan was, and he would be able to defeat him the next time.
"It's not that easy to challenge a hall's chief senior brother. I must submit an application to the Hundred Affairs Pavilion."
Thinking to himself, Chen Zong went to the Hundred Affairs Pavilion to submit the application.
"What!?"
"You want to challenge the chief senior brother, Bai Yushan?"
The person who received Chen Zong was shocked when he heard Chen Zong's words. No matter how he looked at it, Chen Zong's cultivation was only at Qi and Blood Realm Level Eight, and he seemed to have just broken through not long ago. On the other hand, Bai Yushan was at the peak of Qi and Blood Realm Level Nine, and he was also a genius. He was much stronger than the average peak Qi and Blood Realm Level Nine.
"Yes." Chen Zong nodded, his tone extremely certain.
"Alright, I'll help you register and wait for the instructors to arrange it."
Chen Zong nodded and left.
Challenging a hall's chief senior brother was not a small matter. He must first submit an application, then get the instructors' approval and arrange a time. After that, it would be carried out under the witness of many people.
All of this required time, but according to the rules, it would not exceed half a month. Even if it was half a month, Chen Zong could afford to wait. He could use this time to cultivate and improve his strength as much as possible.
Chen Zong returned to Courtyard 88 to cultivate.
The Hundred Affairs Pavilion quickly submitted Chen Zong's application to the Bright Sword Hall's instructors.
"Oh, he wants to challenge Bai Yushan." The instructor frowned and was a little surprised. Then, he shook his head. "He's still young after all. He thinks he's strong just because Huan Yun Swordsman picked him. He's a little arrogant."
"Rejected." The instructor picked up his pen and was about to write two words on the application when he suddenly paused. "Since he's picked by Huan Yun Swordsman, he must be outstanding in his own way. It's just that he doesn't know his limits. Let him challenge Bai Yushan. Only when he knows the difference between him and Bai Yushan can he settle down and cultivate properly."
Then, the instructor wrote down the word 'agreed' and arranged the time to be ten days later.
