Not long after, the first batch of ten challengers was pushed back by the power of the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet. They stared at the tablet, but there was no change. They knew that they would not be able to make it to the top one thousand challengers.
After retreating, the second batch of challengers immediately stepped in and pressed their hands on the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet. Their bodies were surrounded by a golden light as if they were one with the tablet.
There were ten batches in a row. The longest lasted for about half an hour, and the shortest lasted for about thirty to forty breaths. However, no one was able to make it to the ranking list.
Chen Zong calculated the time and number. He realized that he would be ranked at least ten days later.
He could not stay here for ten days. It would be better to go back to the restaurant and cultivate. When he was free, he would come back to check the situation.
Since he had made up his mind, Chen Zong did not delay. He immediately turned around and left.
There were many people like Chen Zong who left. After all, outsiders could not see the details of the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet. They could only see if they could make it to the ranking list after the challenge.
In this way, there was nothing to see. It was better to take advantage of the time to cultivate. Maybe they could get a better result and make it to the ranking list.
Even if they did not want to make it to the overall ranking list, they wanted to at least make it to the current ranking list.
After returning to the restaurant, Chen Zong studied the Heart Sword Sutra, sword art, movement art, and so on. One day later, he left the restaurant again and went to the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet to have a look.
The original one thousand names on the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet had disappeared. It was replaced by another ranking list with eleven names. It was faintly filled with a white halo.
Chen Zong glanced at it. He was surprised and curious. How could one make it to the ranking list after challenging the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet?
He could only find out when he challenged it himself.
"Fierce Wind Spear Lin Song." Exclamations sounded. Suddenly, people's eyes fell on one of the challengers who walked out of the crowd and was about to start the challenge.
This person was tall and slender with a big blue spear on his back. He was emitting an amazing aura, as if there were gusts of wind surrounding him.
Chen Zong narrowed his eyes. His strong perception told him that this person was extraordinary.
The Fierce Wind Spear approached the Zhen Wu Battle Stele with an imposing aura. He pressed his hands on the stele and his body was suddenly covered in golden light.
Chen Zong did not leave immediately. Instead, he wanted to see if this famous Gale Spear could be ranked on this year's list.
Time passed slowly, and the challengers who had participated together with Storm Spear Lin Song were defeated one after another. Only Lin Song was still holding on.
Fifteen minutes later, Lin Song was still persevering.
It was not until half an hour later that the golden light on Lin Song's body began to fluctuate, as if it would shatter at any moment.
Once the golden light shattered, the challenge would be over.
After about thirty breaths of time, the golden light on Lin Song's body shattered. A powerful force rebounded and immediately bounced Lin Song away. However, Lin Song's reaction was very agile. His figure fell back like a gust of wind. He did not seem to be in a sorry state at all. It was as if he had retreated by himself.
Lin Song's eyes were sharp as he stared at the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet. He saw a white light flickering on the tablet as if it was coming from all directions. It was as if an invisible knife was carving on the tablet.
Lin Song!
A name appeared in the twelfth position.
Seeing his name appear, Lin Song immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
He was finally on the ranking list.
Being on the ranking list would not only make a name for himself, but also have a chance of being chosen by a strong martial artist or a Sect. In short, there were only advantages and no disadvantages.
Chen Zong turned and left, returning to the restaurant to continue comprehending.
One day after another passed. Basically, Chen Zong would come to the True Martial Battle Stele every day after he finished cultivating. He would stay for a quarter of an hour or two to take a look. Ten days later, there were already more than three hundred names on the True Martial Battle Stele.
Moreover, among these three hundred names, there were more than a dozen names with a black iron light. This meant that these people had a chance of being ranked in the top one thousand of the overall ranking list.
Of course, whether they could be ranked in the top one thousand of the overall ranking list would depend on the final comparison. Right now, there was only hope.
"The day after tomorrow, it should be my turn," Chen Zong secretly said.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, as if something had happened. Waves of exclamations continuously sounded, surprising everyone.
"The Small Sword King is here."
"The Small Sword King is here too."
"Great, I didn't expect to see the Small Sword Kings appear at the same time."
Many people were extremely excited.
Chen Zong's expression changed slightly.
Among the dozens of famous geniuses mentioned by the restaurant waiter, there were the so-called Small Sword King and Small Saber King. These two people were called the Small Sword Kings, and they also had another name, Southern Saber and Northern Sword. Because the Small Saber King's force was located in the southern part of the Zhen Wu Upper Region, and the Small Sword King's force was located in the northern part of the Zhen Wu Upper Region.
The Zhen Wu Upper Region was like the Sky Pillar Upper Region, there were also three nine-star forces.
The Upper Saber Sect where the Small Saber King was located was one of them, and the Flat Sword Palace where the Small Sword King was located was also one of them.
The Small Saber King and the Small Sword King were the most outstanding geniuses among the younger generation of the Zhen Wu Upper Region. One was proficient in saber techniques and had profound attainments in the saber path, while the other was proficient in sword techniques and had extraordinary attainments in the sword path.
It was said that the Small Sword Kings defeated low-level half-saint experts with their peak ninth level Transcendent Realm cultivation without relying on external forces, and could barely contend with mid-level half-saints.
According to this, the Small Saber King and the Small Sword King were Monarch level geniuses.
Outside of the Tian Yuan Sacred Region, there weren't many who could be ranked as ancient geniuses, and those who could be ranked as Monarch level geniuses were even rarer.
The Small Sword King was dressed in a black robe. His facial lines were distinct and resolute, and he had thick eyebrows and big eyes. He had an extremely masculine aura, and his body was tall with broad shoulders, giving off a stalwart feeling. He carried a long saber on his back, and with a slight shake of his shoulders, he turned into a wisp of sword light and rushed out of the crowd, approaching the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet. His entire body was suffused with a shocking cold aura, like a heavenly sword that shook the soul.
The Small Saber King's figure was slender, and he was dressed in white. His appearance was delicate and handsome like an elegant young master. His figure was tall and straight, and his ten fingers were white and slender, as if they weren't the hands that held sabers, but the hands that embroidered.
He had a long and narrow saber at his waist, and as he took a step, the saber rose and fell in sync with his body, as if connected by blood.
As he took a step, there seemed to be the sound of saber humming.
The two walked out from different directions and approached the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet, facing each other.
One black and one white!
One sword and one saber!
One tall and one slender!
One rugged and one handsome!
It was an entirely different contrast. When the two looked into each other's eyes, there seemed to be invisible sparks bursting and sputtering.
The Small Saber King and the Small Sword King dominated the north and south, and the two were already opponents.
However, the corners of Chen Zong's eyes twitched slightly.
Generally speaking, in normal knowledge or normal cultivation, the sword was light and graceful, while the saber's steps were domineering.
Of course, there were also some sword techniques that were extremely domineering, and some saber techniques that were extremely light and graceful. There were no absolutes in everything.
However, no matter how he looked at it now, he felt that it was strange. It seemed that it would be more appropriate to swap them.
For example, the black-robed Small Sword King with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a rugged appearance should be practicing the saber, and was called Small Saber King, while the one with a delicate and handsome face like an elegant young master should be practicing the sword, and was called Small Sword King.
Of course, this thought only flashed through Chen Zong's mind.
One couldn't judge a book by its cover!
In the world of cultivators, there were all sorts of oddities.
However, in this way, this Small Sword King with a rugged appearance and the Small Saber King with a delicate and handsome face like an elegant young master left a very deep impression.
"Li Longxuan, let's compete." The eyebrows on Small Saber King's handsome face slightly raised, and his eyes radiated a bright light.
"Sure." Small Sword King responded without the slightest fear.
The two turned around together, and their hands landed on the True Martial Battle Tablet.
Golden light spread out, and instantly enveloped the two people's bodies.
The challenge began!
Chen Zong didn't leave. He wanted to see how outstanding the famous Small Twin Kings of the True Martial Upper Domain's younger generation were.
After all, they were the top geniuses of the True Martial Upper Domain's younger generation.
Thirty minutes passed, and eight out of the ten people had already finished their challenges and were bounced off. Only the Small Saber King and the Small Sword King continued to challenge, and the golden light surrounding them was very stable.
Another fifteen minutes passed, and the two people were still challenging.
Thirty minutes was already the longest challenge time since the True Martial Battle Tablet opened this time.
"The Small Sword King and the Small Saber King can definitely rank on the overall ranking."
"That's right, not only can they rank on the overall ranking, they can also have a relatively high ranking."
Another fifteen minutes passed, and the two people were still challenging.
Forty minutes!
One hour!
Everyone stared at the two figures enveloped in golden light, and seemed to have forgotten the passage of time.
Up until now, apart from the Small Sword King and the Small Saber King, the longest duration was about thirty minutes, and one could rank on this year's list. Then these two people both lasted for forty minutes, and presumably, it would be even more shocking. Chen Zong couldn't help but be somewhat expectant.
He wondered what color their names would be when they finished their challenges.
White names belonged to the lowest level, and were destined to be unable to rank on the overall ranking. Only black iron names had hope, but if it was a bronze name, then it would definitely rank on the overall ranking.
If it was a silver name, not only would it rank on the overall ranking, its ranking would also be relatively high.
As for names that emitted golden light, that was a supreme honor.
Since ancient times, only thirty-nine people were ranked on it. It was very, very difficult to add a new name; at least in the last time, no one had done it.
But he didn't know if anyone would be ranked on it this time.
At the fifth minute, the golden light on the Small Saber King and the Small Sword King fluctuated simultaneously, and immediately affected everyone's hearts. They all widened their eyes and held their breaths as they watched.
This kind of fluctuation meant that the two people's challenges were about to end.
One breath!
Two breaths!
Three breaths!
…
Twenty breaths!
Thirty breaths!
It had to be said that the Small Saber King and the Small Sword King were very tenacious. Even if they were about to fail, they still stubbornly persisted.
Sixty breaths!
The golden light shattered, and at the same time, a tyrannical power burst forth from the True Martial Battle Tablet, directly bombarding the Small Saber King and the Small Sword King. The two people's figures moved simultaneously, each with a different style, but both retreated very calmly.
Immediately after, the light on the True Martial Battle Tablet condensed. First, the white light condensed, and a name was engraved on the three hundredth place. Then, the silver-white light condensed at the very top, and two names were engraved.
Li Longxuan!
