(The kind-hearted me can't help but ask, are you being abused like dogs today?)
"It's been almost two hours, and it's still not over."
"He's stalling for time. Is he really going to drag it out until the time is up?"
Outside the True Martial Battle Tablet, everyone was talking about it.
"This kid is trying to please the crowd with claptrap." An elder in the pavilion frowned and said with dissatisfaction.
"Even if he's trying to please the crowd, he needs to find a time to do it. He's just taking up other people's time." Another elder was also dissatisfied.
However, no matter how dissatisfied they were, the True Martial Battle Tablet's challenge was not something the outside world could interfere with, not even the True Martial City Lord.
Therefore, they could only wait until the time was up.
Suddenly, the top of the True Martial Battle Tablet shone with an incomparable golden light. The light seemed to come from the Heavenly Divine Domain, vast and supreme. The True Martial City Lord and the others' expressions changed, and they immediately stood up.
There seemed to be a vast divine sound coming from the True Martial Battle Tablet, reverberating in the void. However, there seemed to be no sound at all.
"Lord City Lord, this … this … what's going on?" An elder was horrified.
It was the first time he had seen such a phenomenon.
"What's going on?" Everyone around the True Martial Battle Tablet stared at it with their eyes wide open.
Although it was rare to see a golden light, it had happened before, such as the Red Phoenix Spirit.
However, this was the first time they had seen and heard of such a bright golden light. Moreover, it contained an indescribable profundity.
The profundity was endless, and the divine sound was vast and mighty.
Immediately after, the myriad of golden lights converged inwards and actually condensed into a name.
Chen Zong!
"Look, there's a new name."
"Chen Zong!"
"Is he the genius from the Sky Pillar Upper Province?"
"A golden name, a golden name."
Everyone was shocked, and they couldn't tell what they were feeling or thinking.
"Impossible!" Tie Ming was extremely shocked. How could a person from the Sky Pillar Upper Province achieve such a shocking achievement in the True Martial Battle Tablet?
Tie Zhan's pupils also shrank in shock.
Horrifying!
For a moment, horror spread through the crowd.
Xu Zhanlong was dumbfounded. He thought that Chen Zong's strength was not bad, and he had a chance to be ranked on the list. However, he felt that it was only this year's list, and it was relatively ordinary.
He had never imagined that Brother Chen's strength would be so shocking and that he would be able to achieve such a terrifying result.
Xu Li and Ouyang Ting were completely dumbfounded. The two of them felt their minds freeze and their faces burn for no reason, as if they had been ruthlessly slapped in the face.
Recalling their previous ridicule and disdain for Chen Zong, they all revealed their shallowness and ignorance.
"What's going on? Why hasn't Chen Zong left the True Martial Battle Tablet?"
Suddenly, someone exclaimed. Chen Zong was still under the Zhen Wu Battle Stele. He was surrounded by a golden light, as if he had become one with the Zhen Wu Battle Stele.
"The golden light shines, and it's marvelous …" The True Martial City's governor gazed through the void at Chen Zong, who was still connected to the Zhenwu Battle Tablet. His expression was extremely solemn as he said, "According to the ancient legends, only those who have broken through the Zhenwu Battle Tablet can trigger such an anomaly."
Challenging the Zhenwu Battle Tablet and breaking through the Zhenwu Battle Tablet were two different concepts.
As far as the True Martial City's governor knew, no one had ever broken through the Zhenwu Battle Tablet since ancient times.
Even the forty shining geniuses on the overall ranking couldn't break through the Zhenwu Battle Tablet.
Now, a genius from the Sky Pillar Upper Region had broken through the Zhenwu Battle Tablet.
It was simply unbelievable.
Even with the True Martial City's governor's way of thinking, he still found it unbelievable.
"It's said that those who break through the Zhenwu Battle Tablet will receive a gift from the Zhenwu Battle Tablet. I wonder what kind of gift it is?" The True Martial City's governor thought to himself.
He couldn't help but feel curious and envious. However, that was all. As the City Lord of a city and one of the most powerful experts in the True Martial Upper Domain, he had a broad-minded mind. Ordinary cultivators couldn't compare to him.
Indeed, Chen Zong had broken through the Zhenwu Battle Tablet and received a gift from the Zhenwu Battle Tablet.
The gift was a ray of Zhenwu Light.
This ray of Zhenwu Light directly merged with Chen Zong's soul. Its effect was to multiply Chen Zong's comprehension of martial arts for a year.
Multiply!
One had to know that Chen Zong's current comprehension ability was incomparably shocking. With the multiplication of his comprehension ability, his comprehension speed was unimaginable.
After receiving the ray of Zhenwu Light, Chen Zong's consciousness returned to his body, but he wasn't repelled. The golden light dissipated, and Chen Zong withdrew his hands, still in disbelief.
"I didn't expect to receive such a reward after breaking through the Zhenwu Battle Tablet." Chen Zong was shocked and overjoyed.
Previously, the Dao Enlightenment Pill given to him by the Illusory Cloud Dao Master could also increase his comprehension ability, but it was less than double. Moreover, it could only last for a month, but it had allowed him to comprehend many mysteries. Now, the Zhenwu Light's effect was much better than the Dao Enlightenment Pill.
The only thing that was inferior to the Dao Enlightenment Pill was that he couldn't freely control it. From the moment he received the Zhenwu Light, it would last for a year, and it wouldn't be under Chen Zong's control.
Thousands of eyes were focused on Chen Zong, as if they wanted to see through Chen Zong. The Body Tempering genius from the Eternal Upper Realm, Man Ba, was also shocked.
Previously, he had provoked Chen Zong and looked down on Chen Zong. Now that he thought about it, his actions and mentality at that time were laughable.
It felt as if a small snake was provoking a dragon.
"Little friend Chen Zong, please come over for a chat." A majestic voice suddenly sounded and entered Chen Zong's ears.
Chen Zong turned around and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw a pavilion.
Many people also heard this voice and were first stunned, then shocked.
The True Martial City's City Lord!
The True Martial City's City Lord actually invited Chen Zong.
One had to know that the True Martial City's City Lord was a master at the peak of the Saint Realm, one of the strongest masters in the True Martial Upper Realm. Chen Zong was only at the Transcendent Realm, but he actually received an invitation from the True Martial City's City Lord and even called him little friend.
In an instant, many people were envious.
Chen Zong was also a little surprised, but he did not feel flattered. After all, there were five supreme masters at the peak of the Saint Realm in White Cloud Mountain. Chen Zong had met them personally more than once and received their favor and gifts.
However, since the True Martial City's City Lord had personally invited him and did not pressure him, Chen Zong would be a little tactless if he refused.
Chen Zong's figure flashed, and he immediately headed towards the pavilion.
Not long after, Chen Zong stepped into the pavilion and went straight to the top floor.
"Junior Sword Dao greets Seniors." Chen Zong glanced around and saw that all the people present were emitting amazing auras. All of them were Saint Realm masters, and the weakest was at the Intermediate Saint Realm. He cupped his fists and saluted in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"No need to be so polite."
"This Old Master misjudged you."
"I thought you were just playing to the gallery. I didn't expect you to be such an amazing talent."
The attitude of the Elders was very good.
This was the reality of the world. Those with outstanding talent were often favored. When the Elders talked about Hong Feng Ling, they almost treated her as an equal. Then, Chen Zong, who also obtained a golden name after challenging the True Martial Battle Tablet, would not be inferior to Hong Feng Ling.
The Elders did not know that Chen Zong had passed the True Martial Battle Tablet. Only a few people knew about this, and the True Martial City's City Lord was one of them.
"Little friend, I'm the City Lord of True Martial Giant City. My surname is Luo, and my name is Gu Dao," the True Martial City's City Lord said with a smile.
Chen Zong did not have any special feelings, but the group of elders were all endlessly shocked.
The True Martial City's City Lord was at the peak of the Saint Realm, one of the few supreme masters in the True Martial Upper Territory. Generally speaking, such a master would not casually announce his name, especially a Transcendent Realm junior.
Not to mention a Transcendent, even some Saint Realm masters did not have this qualification.
But at this moment, the True Martial City's City Lord actually announced his name and treated Chen Zong as if he was a peer. The Elders could not help but be secretly shocked. They could not help but look at Chen Zong a few times, wanting to see what kind of ability Chen Zong had to make the City Lord treat him like this.
However, they could not see it, and the True Martial City's City Lord would not explain anything.
With his status, there was no need to explain anything.
As for Chen Zong, his expression was calm. Although the True Martial City's City Lord was noble and powerful, Chen Zong was not an ordinary cultivator and would feel nervous.
He was calm and collected.
"Senior Luo," Chen Zong bowed again.
"May I ask which great force in the Sky Bearing Sky Territory little friend comes from?" True Martial City's City Lord Luo Gudao asked curiously. The Elders were also curious. After all, Chen Zong was so outstanding that he must have an extraordinary background. It was impossible for a rogue cultivator to achieve such amazing achievements.
So, what great force could cultivate such an outstanding genius like Chen Zong?
"Senior Luo, I'm from the Sky Bearing Sky Territory's White Cloud Mountain," Chen Zong replied.
"White Cloud Mountain, that eight-star force."
"I know, White Cloud Mountain has five Dao Masters, each of them is extraordinary."
The Elders said one after another.
"So, you're a disciple of White Cloud Mountain." Luo Gudao nodded, "I know White Cloud Mountain's Refined Cloud Dao Master."
Chen Zong's expression changed.
Refined Cloud Dao Master was very belligerent and was the most belligerent among the five Dao Masters of White Cloud Mountain. Perhaps he had fought with Luo City Lord before.
Little did he know that Chen Zong's guess was not far from the truth.
"Little friend, did you receive the True Martial Battle Tablet's reward after you passed the test?" Luo City Lord's voice rang in Chen Zong's ears. It was a voice transmission, so the others could not hear it, "What's the reward? Can you tell me?"
"I received martial arts insights." Chen Zong replied. He did not mention the True Martial Light. It was too precious, and it was hard to guarantee that others would not be tempted. Moreover, his strength was too far from the True Martial City's City Lord's.
Therefore, it was not that attractive to say that it was martial arts insights, especially for a peak Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse.
