Compared to Chen Zong, who was a genius from the Sky Pillar Upper Region, Man Ba from the Eternal Upper Region undoubtedly received more attention.
After all, according to past experience, the geniuses from the Sky Pillar Upper Region who came to the True Martial Upper Region to gain experience were usually unable to achieve anything. Most of them were reduced to supporting characters. Even if there were a few outstanding geniuses, they would eventually be defeated by the stronger geniuses of the True Martial Upper Region.
The geniuses from the Eternal Upper Region were different. Especially the body refining geniuses from the Eternal Upper Region, they would often leave a deep impression in the True Martial Upper Region.
As the surrounding discussions entered his ears, the smile on Man Ba's face became more and more obvious. He looked at Chen Zong provocatively, but Chen Zong ignored him.
Indeed, Man Ba's blood Qi was extremely vigorous and astonishing. Even Chen Zong himself couldn't compare with him. But so what? Body refining wasn't Chen Zong's strongest strength.
If it was a real life and death battle, Man Ba wouldn't be Chen Zong's opponent.
The ten people approached the True Martial Battle Stele and stretched out their hands. They circulated their energy and landed it on the True Martial Battle Stele.
Chen Zong only felt his palms tremble. His palms were directly sucked into the Stele. As his palms trembled, an indescribable majestic energy rushed out from the Stele and spread to his palms. It was as fast as lightning and as fierce as a tide. It spread through Chen Zong's body through his arms.
In just an instant, Chen Zong was wrapped in a golden light.
The moment his entire body was covered in the golden light, Chen Zong felt his consciousness being pulled by an invisible force. It was as if his consciousness had left his body and was constantly flying forward. It was as if he had entered a strange space with a variety of colors.
After what seemed like a long time, but also just a breath's time, Chen Zong felt his consciousness enter a space. That space rapidly expanded, forming a wilderness.
The field was boundless and vast. The ground was filled with sand and gravel. Occasionally, green grass would pop up. It looked a little desolate.
Traces of invisible energy gathered from all directions. It was as if a hundred rivers were returning to the current. It swept over and wrapped around his consciousness.
Immediately, Chen Zong felt his body condensing.
In other words, the True Martial Battle Tablet sucked his consciousness into this space, and then used the power of the True Martial Battle Tablet to create a body for him. It was indeed very mysterious.
In this way, even if he died in battle, he wouldn't suffer any losses.
It did not take long for the body to materialize. It was identical to Zhang Xuan's, but its strength was different.
Carefully examining himself, Chen Zong could tell that his current body's cultivation was at the early stage of the Transcendent Realm. His Spirit Energy was quite ordinary, only at the early stage of the Transcendent Realm. As for his physique, it was also at the early stage of the Transcendent Realm.
"Sword, come." With a low shout, Chen Zong made a grabbing motion in the air with his right hand. Countless auras surged, and a sword appeared in his hand.
This sword wasn't a heavy sword like the Heavy Dragon Sword; after all, his current body was just a standard one without Body Tempering, so it didn't possess great strength. Using a heavy sword would only consume more of his strength.
Chen Zong hadn't experienced such a weak body for a long time, so he quickly stretched his arms and legs, brandishing his sword a few times to adapt to his new body as soon as possible.
The True Martial Battle Tablet also seemed to give Chen Zong some time to adapt to his new body.
Ten breaths later, a body condensed several hundred meters in front of Chen Zongzheng. In just three breaths, the body was completely condensed. It was an ordinary-looking young man. His expression was dull, and his eyes were dull. He looked like a puppet.
However, after one breath, the young man seemed to have been endowed with intelligence. His eyes turned and came to life as if he had come to life. His aura also began to spread.
Early stage of the Transcendent Realm!
Chen Zong could feel the other party's aura fluctuations. It was a standard early stage Transcendent Realm cultivation, the same as his current body.
[Is this my opponent?]
A long sword also appeared in his opponent's hand, and with a twist of his wrist, the blade trembled and blossomed into a dazzling sword light.
* Xiu! *
The moment the sound of wind breaking rang out, a sword light pierced through the air towards Chen Zong.
This sword strike was simple yet sharp, a combination of strength and speed. It didn't seem to require any skill, but in fact, it was a profound technique.
This kind of swordsmanship was even higher than a standard early stage Transcendent Realm cultivator's.
Chen Zong didn't move and simply raised his sword to block the attack. His opponent's sword immediately changed its form, slashing down like a cloak, but after being blocked by Chen Zong once again, it changed again, transforming into three sword images that shot towards him from three different directions, each of them exuding an extremely sharp aura, as if three masters were attacking at the same time.
Chen Zong didn't move, his feet not moving at all, his sword in hand easily resisting all of his opponent's attacks.
Although their cultivations were the same, Chen Zong's swordsmanship was much higher than his opponent's, and his attainments in the Dao of the Sword were not restricted in the slightest, so if he counterattacked, he could easily defeat his opponent. The reason why Chen Zong only adopted a defensive posture was because he wanted to see how difficult this True Martial Battle Tablet assessment was and how high his opponent's martial arts attainments were.
After about a dozen breaths of time, his opponent used all of his means but was still unable to harm Chen Zong. Chen Zong also understood his opponent's level and quickly swung his sword.
Sword light flashed and the sky was torn apart like thin paper, and his opponent's body was also split in two.
In the next breath, a sudden change occurred. After the two halves of his opponent's body were separated, an endless aura gathered and condensed into two figures, each of them exuding a standard early stage Transcendent Realm aura.
In other words, Chen Zong's opponents increased from one to two.
Both of them wielded their swords and directly attacked from the left and right, their swordsmanship brilliant and direct, completely abandoning any unnecessary elegance and instead focusing solely on killing enemies.
Chen Zong did not immediately kill his opponent, instead choosing to resist, allowing his opponent to display their full strength, and only after a dozen breaths of time did he counterattack and kill his opponent.
Next, his opponent increased to three.
Four!
Five!
Six!
Seven!
Eight!
Nine!
Ten!
When all ten opponents were killed by Chen Zong, the ten slain figures instantly merged back into one, exuding an even more powerful aura.
Ninth Layer Transcendent Realm Middle Stage!
Of course, this was the standard Ninth Layer Transcendent Realm Middle Stage.
Under the standard cultivation, the gap between the early stage Ninth Layer Transcendent Realm and the middle stage Ninth Layer Transcendent Realm was very obvious. The sword light pierced through the air at an astonishing speed, transforming into a dazzling beam of light that shot towards Chen Zong, much faster and stronger than when he was at the early stage Ninth Layer Transcendent Realm.
However, against Chen Zong, this attack was still not strong enough.
Although there was a gap in cultivation, Chen Zong's control and application of his strength far surpassed his opponent's.
Chen Zong resisted, allowing his opponent to display their full strength. After seeing through his opponent's strength, he immediately counterattacked and killed his opponent.
Next, there were two middle stage Ninth Layer Transcendent Realm cultivators.
After defeating and killing his opponent, the number of opponents increased to three.
The more people there were, the more tacit cooperation they had, the greater the threat they posed.
Four!
Five!
Until ten!
Ten middle stage Ninth Layer Transcendent Realm opponents joined forces to form a circle around Chen Zong, immediately putting a lot of pressure on Chen Zong.
After all, the strength of a middle stage Transcendent Realm cultivator was much stronger than an early stage Transcendent Realm cultivator.
Chen Zong's footsteps flickered as he leisurely weaved between his ten opponents, avoiding their attacks while simultaneously counterattacking.
Chen Zong's Sword Dao had reached the fourth stage, Clear Sword Principles. Although this realm could not directly improve Chen Zong's strength, it allowed Chen Zong's understanding and mastery of Sword Dao to improve dramatically.
Dodge, block, counterattack.
Kill!
The ten opponents died one after another under Chen Zong's sword.
The ten opponents who had been killed regrouped once again, this time exuding the aura of a late stage Ninth Layer Transcendent Realm cultivator.
His strength had increased.
Thrusting out his sword, the sword light it emitted was as fast as lightning, stronger and fiercer than before. Chen Zong also keenly felt that his opponent's attainments in Sword Dao had also improved.
His strength had soared.
At this time, of the ten people who had challenged the True Martial Battle Tablet together, eight had been defeated one after another. Only two people were still challenging, one was Man Ba, a Body Refining genius from the Eternal Upper Realm, and the other was Chen Zong, a genius from the Sky Pillar Upper Realm.
Man Ba being able to persist until now was not surprising, but Chen Zong being able to persist until now surprised many people.
Tie Ming's triangular eyes were filled with disbelief.
"That genius from the Sky Pillar Upper Realm seems to be quite extraordinary."
"It seems that he does have some skill. Judging from the time he challenged, he should be able to enter the list."
"Impossible, he must be stalling for time," Tie Ming suddenly shouted. Tie Ming suddenly shouted. Then, as if he was trying to convince himself, his tone became more certain, "He must have thought that the longer he stayed in the Zhenwu Battle Tablet, the better it would be for him. Therefore, he purposely kept entangling with weak opponents to buy time."
When Tie Ming said this, many people suddenly understood.
Indeed, this method was not unprecedented in the past.
He had obviously stayed in the True Martial Battle Tablet for a long time, even longer than those who were on the list, but in the end, he was not on the list.
Playing to the gallery!
For a moment, many people showed a look of disdain.
If you can't do it, just admit it. Trying to stall for time would only make people look down on you even more.
However, some people were still doubtful and were not so sure that Chen Zong was just stalling for time.
"Impossible, Brother Chen wouldn't do this," Xu Zhanlong thought.
Xu Li, on the other hand, had a look of disdain on his face. He was sure that Chen Zong was just stalling for time. Ouyang Ting's expression also seemed to be the same.
Chen Zong did not know what the outside world's reaction was and continued to challenge the True Martial Battle Tablet.
The challenges in the True Martial Battle Tablet were like this. In the first round, the opponent's cultivation was the same as the challenger's, but their Martial Arts attainment was higher than the standard. There were a total of ten waves, and each wave added one more person.
Now, Chen Zong had already challenged the fifth wave of the third round.
In other words, Chen Zong was facing five late-stage Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer opponents at the same time, and they were opponents who could cooperate with each other.
For real geniuses, passing the first round was not difficult, but the second round would be more difficult. If they could pass the second round, they would be qualified to enter the list. Of course, it was only a qualification, after all, there were only a thousand spots on the list, and it depended on their specific results.
