When he returned to Tianyao Hall and reported to his mentor, he was naturally questioned.
"Meng Changchun and Kang Yuan are both dead." The mentor frowned and felt a little regretful. The two of them were ranked in the top ten and had some hope of entering the Four Great Academies.
However, there was no other way. There were gains and deaths in the outside world.
What was worth being happy about was that the mentor could feel that Qi Fei's aura had become stronger, which meant that his strength had increased. As for Chen Zong, he was more mysterious, but the mentor was looking forward to the next shock he would bring.
He returned to his own building first before heading to the Elixir Building. The Tiger Leopard Tendon Strengthening Pills that he had accumulated for more than a month was very impressive. There were more than a hundred of them. Chen Zong had already refined steel, so the Tiger Leopard Tendon Strengthening Pill's effect was negligible. He could sell it or give it to others.
Chen Zong took some Tiger Leopard Tendon Strengthening Pills and headed to Tianyao Hall.
"Sister, this is the Tiger Leopard Tendon Strengthening Pill. It can strengthen the tendons and meridians. If you don't have enough, come find me for more." Chen Zong handed over twenty Tiger Leopard Strengthening Tendons Pills to Chen Chu Yun. In terms of market price, it was worth a million White Jade money. Chen Chu Yun was extremely shocked. Some time ago, because of his relationship with the chief senior sister, he had obtained one for free, so he knew its value.
He did not expect to receive twenty at once.
However, since it was given by Chen Zong, Chen Chuyun did not hold back.
The two of them exchanged pointers. In fact, it was Chen Zong who was teaching Chen Chuyun. After that, Chen Zong left.
"Unknowingly, you have completely surpassed me," Chen Chuyun said to himself.
Thinking back, he was at the sixth level of the Qi and Blood realm, and Chen Zong was a Martial Disciple. It seemed like only yesterday that they came to his courtyard to practice swordsmanship every day. But now, Chen Zong had completely surpassed him and could teach him.
Chen Chuyun felt very gratified and motivated.
After finding Li Zhenshi and chatting for a while, Chen Zong gave ten Tiger Leopard Tendon Strengthening Pills to Li Zhenshi.
On the third floor of the small building, Chen Zong unsheathed his sword. The frosty sword light cut through the air and penetrated the fine iron pile.
Zhang Xuan drew his sword, and with a flick of his wrist, the blade of the sword began to morph continuously. A single sword had eight transformations, and just as it was about to morph into the ninth, it paused for a moment before continuing.
At first glance, it looked like a sword with nine transformations because of its fast speed. But Chen Zong knew very well that was not the case.
The real One Sword Nine Transformations should be instantaneous, without the slightest pause.
He had practiced it many times, but in the end, he was still lacking something. He was unable to achieve complete coherence.
Sheathing his sword, Chen Zong flicked his finger and hit the fine iron stake. The fine iron stake vibrated with an ear-piercing sound. The spot where his finger had hit had a dent.
Iron Cracking Finger, the Human Level Superb Grade Martial Art!
Initial Realm!
All of his sword arts and martial arts had been cultivated to the Tittle Realm, and he was extremely proficient in them. It was as if he had reached the Tittle Realm, otherwise, he would not be able to make any more breakthroughs.
The True Realm was very difficult to break through. Just look at the Sky Light Cloud Shadow Sword Art and the Extreme Flash Thunder Killing Sword Art. He had only comprehended them by chance after such a long time. Moreover, Chen Zong also felt that the further he progressed, the more difficult it would be to comprehend the True Realm. He did not know the reason behind it.
As for his cultivation, he was still unclear about how to break through to the Training Realm.
Chen Zong decided to practice more martial arts.
For a martial artist, the more martial arts they cultivated, the deeper their accumulation would be. After all, every martial arts had its own essence and mysteries. Mastering a trace of essence and mystery would form a kind of precipitation and accumulation, and naturally, one's comprehension of martial arts would be deeper.
That kind of quintessence was not completely independent. They more or less had something in common. Grasping that common point would be helpful to his future cultivation of martial arts.
If possible, a far-sighted warrior would want to practice more martial arts, the more the better. Unfortunately, time and energy were limited. They could only focus on one, two, or three martial arts.
Chen Zong had been like this before, but not now. The Completion of the Blood Qi Realm seemed to have stimulated his potential in the Blood Qi Realm to the limit, allowing him to practice more martial arts.
After using the Iron Cracking Finger, Chen Zong threw a kick. A whistling sound was heard, like a gust of wind. It directly whipped the Fine Iron Pile, causing it to bend.
The Extreme Grade Mortal Realm Martial Art, Wild Wind Leg Art!
Initial Realm!
Chen Zong quickly mastered the Iron Cracking Finger and the Wild Wind Leg Art.
The Completion Realm!
Then, the Completion Realm!
Chen Zong had not told the mentors and the Martial Arts Institute about the Black Demon Sect's stronghold. He had planned to tell them, but after careful consideration, he decided to keep it a secret.
If he told them, they would most likely find out about the fusion of demonic beast blood. That was not the main point. After all, he was different from the Black Demon Sect martial artists. He had a pure human bloodline. The problem was the Completion of the Blood Qi Realm.
At the very least, most martial artists who knew about the Completion of the Blood Qi Realm thought it was fake. However, Chen Zong had achieved it. It was hard to say if it would lead to some trouble.
What would happen to him then?
Would he be focused on training?
Or would he be imprisoned for research?
If the Black Demon Sect knew, would they send stronger martial artists to capture him?
In the end, even if his cultivation had reached the Completion of the Blood Qi Realm, he could defeat anyone in the Blood Qi Realm. There were still the Training Realm and the True Martial Realm above him.
It was hard to say what the result would be. Chen Zong had learned from his mistakes. He considered the problem more carefully.
When his strength was insufficient, he would hide it first unless he had enough power to protect himself. After some thought, Chen Zong decided not to say anything for the time being. He would do his best to improve his strength.
At this time, a long time had passed.
"In three days, it will be the triennial disciple recruitment of the four academies. All of you should prepare yourselves." The mentors gathered everyone in Tianyao Hall and announced.
"We're here." Everyone's eyes lit up.
Meng Changchun and Kang Yuan had died. The original 29 people had become 27. However, during this period of time, there were two successful challengers. They were Yi Qianren and Zhan Ying. They had become disciples of Tianyao Hall. The total number of people was 29.
It was Chen Zong's first time seeing the top three people.
The third was Yan Zhongzheng. He looked serious and mature. He was only in his early twenties, but he looked like he was in his mid-twenties.
The second was Liu Shuiyan. She was a charming woman. She had a kind of gentle beauty and outstanding charm. She held a saber in her left hand.
The first was Gu Xiaolin. He was handsome and elegant in his white martial attire. He carried a precious iron sword with a white jade hilt on his back.
The aura of these three people was completely different from the other disciples. Perhaps it was because they were Training Realm martial artists.
"Gu Xiaolin, Liu Shuiyan, Yan Zhongzheng. The three of you are at the First Revolution of the Training Realm. As long as you can perform normally and your luck is not too bad, you will definitely enter the four academies." The mentor said. He glanced at Chen Zong and the others. "As for the rest of you, as long as your luck is not too bad, you will have a 50% chance of entering the four academies."
In other words, if their luck was not good enough, they would most likely lose their chance.
"Remember, your opponents will be the disciples of the other four academies. The Ultimate Martial Academy's disciples have the strongest overall strength. In addition, there will be some outstanding disciples from other forces who will also participate."
The four academies recruited disciples once every three years. The requirement was that they must not be older than 24 years old. Among the people present, the oldest was 22 years old. The youngest was Chen Zong, who was not even 18 years old.
Most people would have another chance even if they failed this time. It would be best if they could succeed on their first try.
"In addition, there is one more thing you must remember. Every academy and every force will have a batch of disciples who failed last time. They will also participate this time. Even if they have not broken through to the Training Realm, their strength is still very terrifying. You must pay attention to them." Finally, the mentor said.
Everyone was stunned. None of the people present were the ones who stayed last time. In other words, other than the twenty-nine of them, there would be other disciples participating in the Seven Lights Martial Academy.
After some preparation, everyone immediately set off under the guidance of the mentors and the deacons of the academies towards the Ultimate Martial Main City.
Dozens of fierce red horses galloped at an extremely fast speed. One day later, everyone could see the outline of the Ultimate Martial Main City.
It was located on an endless plain. The city walls were twenty meters tall and filled with a heavy aura. There were patches of dark red mottled on the city walls. Those were the bloodstains of demon beasts left behind a long time ago. They exuded an invisible killing intent.
Looking at it from afar, everyone felt a sense of shock, even if it was not their first time seeing it.
Compared to it, Martial Wind City was like a toddler who had just learned to walk compared to an iron tower brawny man.
The Five Great Main Cities of the Eastern Continent used to be huge cities during the era of kingdoms. During the Dark Age, they were modified and strengthened by numerous martial practitioners and had been passed down to this day. They had a long history, at least a thousand years old.
Ultimate Martial Main City had four huge city gates. Each of them was eight meters tall and ten meters wide. They were wide open, and on both sides of the city gates stood four light armored martial practitioners armed with swords. The aura emanating from each of them told Chen Zong and the others that they were martial practitioners at the peak of the Qi and Blood Realm Stage Nine.
Using martial practitioners at the peak of the Qi and Blood Realm Stage Nine as gatekeepers highlighted the generosity of the Ultimate Martial Main City.
After showing the Seven Lights Martial Academy's identity token, the mentors and the capable Refinement Stage deacons led the way and stepped into the Ultimate Martial Main City.
The street was wide enough to allow five large carriages to pass side by side. Shops of all kinds lined both sides of the street. It looked very prosperous and bustling with people coming and going. Martial Wind City could not be compared.
Looking from afar, buildings that were more than ten meters tall could be seen everywhere. Some of the buildings were more than twenty meters or even thirty meters tall. It was a very spectacular sight. This was also something that Martial Wind City did not have.
Under the guidance of the mentors, the group turned into a small alley from the main street and stopped in front of a huge courtyard.
A temporary plaque was erected in front of the courtyard, and written on it was the residence of the Seven Lights Martial Academy's disciples.
"Every time this happens, all the restaurants in Ultimate Martial Main City will be full. There will be no room to stay in. Even some private rented rooms will be very tight. Even our Seven Lights Martial Academy had only rented this place ten days in advance." The mentor said with a smile. After knocking on the door, someone quickly came to open it.
The courtyard was quite big. Every two people lived in one room, and there were still a few rooms left.
"A courtyard like this costs a hundred thousand White Jade Coins for rent every day." Hearing the mentor's words, Chen Zong was immediately shocked. This was not buying a house, but renting a house. A hundred thousand White Jade Coins a day. Wasn't every inch of land worth its weight in gold?
In fact, this was only temporary. The Four Great Academies' triennial disciple recruitment was a grand event after all. Many martial practitioners would come from all over the world. Even if they were not qualified to participate, they could still watch.
Firstly, it was to broaden their horizons. Secondly, it was to increase topics of conversation. Thirdly, they might be inspired and benefit their own cultivation.
Due to the large number of people, the rooms were in short supply. The supply could not meet the demand, and the price rose accordingly. After the Four Great Academies' disciple recruitment was over, the price would return to normal.
You say you're cheating?
Yes, you are. There was no other way. Even if you don't stay, someone will. It was all for this grand event that happens once every three years.
If the Seven Lights Martial Academy did not rent a house ten days in advance and only came now, they probably would not have a place to rest. Wait until the start of the recruitment?
That would be too hasty and not in a good state.
A grand event like this was something that every force would attach great importance to. If they were to lose because of a little bad state, it would undoubtedly be a very depressing thing.
