(Fifth Update: Sleepy)
"Hey, don't you think this Chen Zong is too arrogant? He actually wants to challenge Eldest Senior Brother."
"That's right. His brain is overheated."
"If I were an instructor, I would definitely reject this request. What a disgrace."
"This is called courage. Do you have the courage?"
Discussions could be heard everywhere in the Glorious Sword Hall. They were all related to Chen Zong's challenge to the First Senior Brother, Bai Yushan.
It could be said that almost everyone was not optimistic about Chen Zong. Most of them mocked and ridiculed him for overestimating himself. A few people, such as Li Zhenshi, supported Chen Zong. However, they also felt that Chen Zong was not Bai Yushan's opponent.
After all, Bai Yushan was the First Senior Brother of the Glorious Sword Hall. He was powerful and deeply rooted in people's hearts. On the other hand, although Chen Zong was a rising star, he had only entered the Seven Luminaries Martial Academy for a short time. There was still room for improvement.
"He actually wants to challenge Bai Yushan." When Zhan Ying, the First Senior Brother of the Glorious Martial Academy, heard about it, he was surprised and puzzled at first. Then, he became very curious. He must go and see.
"Extremely stupid." The First Senior Brother of the Glorious Earth Hall, Xiao Hongfu, sneered with a face full of ridicule.
Chen Zong ignored all the discussions. In the eighty-eighth courtyard, Chen Zong was cultivating the body forging technique.
His body was smeared with the Frost Fire Poison Ointment. As he cultivated the first three styles of the body forging technique, the ointment was constantly absorbed. Through the alternating cold and heat, Chen Zong's skin was tempered and became tougher. Even his muscles and bones were strengthened bit by bit.
His physical endurance was also increasing.
Cultivating the body forging technique was necessary, but it only required two hours a day. After deducting rest and meals, there were still a dozen or so hours left.
He temporarily did not cultivate the True Sword Heavenly Skill. After all, it was impossible to reach the ninth level of the Qi and Blood realm in ten days. The automatic cultivation with the Blood Agglomerate Jade was enough for the time being. He used the remaining time to focus on the cultivation of the sword art and Doppelganger Body Art.
"Tomorrow is the day of the battle with Bai Yushan."
In the courtyard, Chen Zong muttered to himself. His body flickered and a shadow appeared beside him. It looked a bit real.
Then, the sword light lit up and turned into a lonely star. It emitted a lonely and desolate aura that made people lose their minds.
When the Lone Star disappeared, the two iron stakes in front of it were directly pierced through. The sword hole was smooth.
The blazing sun hung high in the sky, emitting blazing rays of light that pierced the earth like swords.
The Brilliant Sword Hall's arena was surrounded by people. Half of them were disciples of the Brilliant Sword Hall, while the other half were disciples from other halls who came to watch the battle.
Dazzling Blade Hall, Dazzling Martial Hall, Dazzling Soldier Hall, Dazzling Earth Hall, etc. Even a few people from Dazzling Heavenly Hall came.
"Chen Zong, an excellent martial artist needs to be used for challenges, but he also needs to know his own limitations. I hope that you can understand this after this." The instructor from Shining Sword Academy was surnamed Yang. His sharp gaze fell on Chen Zong's face. His voice was clear and loud, and he did not hold back at all.
"Yes." Chen Zong nodded. He did not contradict the instructor because there was no need to.
"Bai Yushan, as the Head Disciple, your responsibility is not light. Remember not to be heavy-handed. However, you must make Chen Zong realize the gap between us, so that he can restrain himself and concentrate on his cultivation." Instructor Yang looked at Bai Yushan and reminded him.
"Yes, Instructor. I will pay attention." Bai Yushan's attitude was respectful. "However, Junior Chen Zong's talent is extraordinary. He can fight above his level. His strength might not be inferior to mine. Once we fight, I can't guarantee that I can hold back. I can only try my best."
"Junior Chen Zong, if I accidentally hurt you, please forgive me." Bai Yushan looked at Chen Zong and said with a good attitude. It sounded normal, but Chen Zong could hear the malice in it. Bai Yushan wanted to use this opportunity to injure him.
"I also want to say this to Senior Bai." Chen Zong's expression was normal, and his tone was calm.
"How dare you talk to Senior Bai like this." Below the arena, Bai Yushan's supporters immediately scolded Chen Zong. They were all ignored by Chen Zong.
"Chen Zong is a bit rash." In the crowd, Yang Yigu's drunken eyes flashed with a trace of clarity. He said to himself worriedly.
Tang Junluo, Li Zhenshi, and the others were also very worried.
Of course, they were also very shocked, especially when they found out that Chen Zong's cultivation had already reached the eighth level of the Qi Blood Realm.
When Tang Junluo was a Martial Disciple, he had tempered his Qi blood eight times. His foundation surpassed many people. Not only did he break the record in Wind Martial City, but he was also one of the few in the entire Seven Luminaries Martial Academy. As a result, his cultivation had already broken through to the seventh level of the Qi Blood Realm and was close to the late stage even before he entered the boiling blood pool. Such a cultivation speed was already very fast.
He had planned to raise his cultivation to the peak of the seventh level of the Qi Blood Realm before he entered the boiling blood pool. After stabilizing his cultivation, he would use the boiling blood pool's power to break through to the eighth level of the Qi Blood Realm. He did not expect Chen Zong's cultivation to surpass him in such a short period of time and reach the eighth level of the Qi Blood Realm first.
It was inconceivable, but it happened.
"This kid is a bit arrogant."
"He is talented and has a lot of potential. If he calms down and concentrates on cultivating for a year, it won't be difficult for him to defeat Bai Yushan. He can even become a Tianyao Hall disciple, but it's too early now."
"I guess it's because he got first place in the Wooden Dummy Tower and 21st place in the Iron Dummy Tower that made him a bit arrogant."
The three disciples from Tianyao Hall did not conceal their voices. Almost everyone heard them. Chen Zong did not say anything about it. The others were surprised. They did not expect the three disciples from Tianyao Hall to think so highly of Chen Zong.
Bai Yushan's expression was a bit ugly. He was looked down upon.
"Are the two of you ready?" Instructor Yang acted as the referee.
"Instructor, I'm ready. Junior Brother Chen Zong, if you're not ready, I can wait for you." Bai Yushan was elegant and graceful.
"I'm ready." Chen Zong said calmly.
"Remember, this is a spar, not a battle of life and death. Don't go overboard." Instructor Yang emphasized again and announced the start of the match.
"Junior Brother Chen Zong, as the eldest senior brother, I won't draw my sword. I'll let you have three moves first." Bai Yushan fully displayed his elegance in front of so many people.
"Thank you." As soon as Chen Zong finished speaking, his right hand clasped the hilt of his sword. In an instant, a ball of frost streaked across the air, as if the temperature had dropped.
Below the ring, Wei Wuxiao stared at Chen Zong's hand with a trace of intoxication in his eyes.
"That's … the Fake Frost Flowing Sword!" Instructor Yang was shocked.
In fact, the temperature of the air was not affected at all. It was just that the Fake Frost Flowing Sword was forged by imitating the Frost Flowing Sword. When its structure and sword light were displayed, it gave people a feeling of the temperature dropping. In fact, the top quality precious iron swords were more or less the same.
Bai Yushan was also shocked.
The speed of Chen Zong's sword was extremely fast. In the instant it was unleashed, it had already arrived in front of Bai Yushan. Bai Yushan was extremely shocked, and he hurriedly retreated to dodge. However, the first sword was only a feint, and the second sword followed, stabbing directly towards his heart, as if it wanted to pierce through it.
Bai Yushan could not go back on his word of three moves. He could only dodge again. Unexpectedly, the third sword came again, as if it had predicted his dodging route. Bai Yushan had no choice but to draw his sword to block.
A cold light flashed, sparks flew, and the ear-piercing sound of metal clashing shook the air.
"Senior Brother Bai, you drew your sword." Chen Zong said calmly. The corner of Bai Yushan's eyes twitched. He felt as if he had slapped himself.
"I underestimated Junior Brother Chen Zong's strength. It's my fault. But now, I'm going to show you my strength." Bai Yushan's eyes flashed. He wanted to embarrass himself again. The thought of seriously injuring and crippling Chen Zong became even stronger.
"Go ahead." Chen Zong was not afraid at all.
Bai Yushan, who had drawn his sword, immediately changed his aura. It became very sharp and terrifying. His eyes flashed, and a terrifying spiritual will was released from his eyes, trying to intimidate Chen Zong. However, it was to no avail.
Chen Zong's spiritual will was very condensed. It was not inferior to Bai Yushan's.
Bai Yushan took a step forward, crossed five meters, and drew his sword.
The sword seemed to have turned into a shooting star. It streaked across the sky and shot towards Chen Zong. It was fast and ruthless. It went straight for Chen Zong's throat, as if it was going to kill him in one strike.
Without dodging, Chen Zong faced the sword light head-on. His sword was as fast as lightning. It intertwined with light and shadow, interfering with Bai Yushan's vision.
Bai Yushan's sword immediately changed. In an instant, it changed four times in a row. Including the previous attack, it changed five times in one strike.
Chen Zong's sword changed accordingly. It also changed five times in one strike. After that, it changed six times. The tip of the sword was like the horns of an antelope, natural and natural. It cut towards Bai Yushan's throat.
"One Strike, Six Changes!" Instructor Yang was even more surprised. Those who could understand it were also surprised.
"Amazing. He actually reached the level of One Strike, Six Changes."
"That's unexpected."
One Strike, Six Changes. This was Chen Zong's limit. He still had a lot of reservations.
Bai Yushan had no choice but to take a step back. Then, he suddenly charged forward. There was no change in his sword. It was only about sharpness and ruthlessness. It was indomitable and determined.
The two swords crossed and collided. The ear-piercing sound of metal clashing reverberated, filling everyone's eardrums. Sparks flew.
Bai Yushan used his sword technique to the extreme because he realized that Chen Zong's sword technique was not inferior to his. In fact, it was even superior. He could only suppress his opponent with the advantage of his cultivation base.
Under normal circumstances, a ninth stage Qi and Blood realm martial artist would have a strength of two thousand catties more than a eighth stage Qi and Blood realm martial artist.
However, Chen Zong cultivated the True Sword Heavenly Skill. The first three grades had to be cultivated to the peak to increase one's strength by thirty percent. However, at the fourth grade, it was no longer necessary. It could increase one's strength by fifty percent.
Under the conversion of fifty percent strength, it might not be comparable to the strength of two thousand catties of strength. However, it was not inferior by much. In addition, with his superior sword technique, he was not inferior to Bai Yushan. He could definitely fight force with force.
The more they fought, the more shocked Bai Yushan, Instructor Yang, and the others were. Chen Zong was actually able to fight Bai Yushan, who was at the peak of the ninth stage Qi and Blood realm, to a standstill. It was unbelievable.
