(I had some matters to attend to, so I came back late.)
"This country bumpkin really doesn't know what's good for him." Sima Li was furious, and his killing intent was awe-inspiring.
"He must die." Sima Rou's beautiful face was filled with a shocking malevolence and killing intent.
It was the first time, the first time she had been humiliated like this as a genius.
Yes, in Sima Rou's opinion, Chen Zong's various responses were an insult to her.
In the end, they were even warned by the experts guarding the Xuanming District. If they were not disciples of the Sima Family and the genius of the Netherworld List, they would definitely be severely punished.
Therefore, whether it was Sima Li or Sima Rou, both of them harbored great hatred for Chen Zong. This hatred could not be washed away even by the torrential river.
Those disciples of aristocratic families were born in conditions and environments that were hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times better than ordinary people. The environment that they grew up in was also very good, and not something that ordinary people could compare to.
Naturally, they would develop some habits or personalities.
Some disciples of aristocratic families would become modest and courteous on the surface, and some disciples of aristocratic families would be modest and courteous on the surface, but their hearts would be the opposite, and they would look down on others.
There were also disciples of aristocratic families who were very direct. They would think that they were better than others, and they would look down on ordinary or lowly people. If they were offended, they would be furious. Even if it was a small matter, they would be filled with killing intent, and they would only stop after killing the other party. They would even cruelly exterminate the other party.
In terms of ruthlessness, some disciples of aristocratic families were even better than dark forces like the Black Demons.
Chen Zong quickly threw the matter of the two disciples of the Sima Family to the back of his mind. So what if they were thinking about it?
It would not help.
In the end, it was still about strength.
Only when one was strong enough could one avoid unnecessary trouble.
For example, the Corpse Daoist was ranked eighth on the Profound List. He was a lone wolf, and no one dared to provoke him. Even a great force like the Xuanming Palace was not willing to provoke him, because the Corpse Daoist was very strong.
Weakness was the original sin.
No matter the reason, no matter right or wrong, the weak would be suppressed, killed, and defined as wrong.
Strength was everything.
Although there were many other reasons, strength and weakness was the main theme, and it was the foundation.
If his cultivation had broken through to the middle level of the Half-Saint, then the two people just now might not have been his match.
Cultivate!
Cultivate diligently!
After calming himself down, Chen Zong took a sip of the ten-year Universal Sun and Moon Wine. He started to refine the energy within and absorb it to improve his cultivation.
First, he had to raise his Qi Refinement cultivation. After all, he was basically using his Qi Refinement strength against his enemies now.
Chen Zong usually stayed in the Xuanming Courtyard and did not leave. In addition to the assassination attempt by the Black Fiend, the security of the Xuanming District was very strict. It was extremely difficult for the Black Fiend to sneak in. The price was too high, so they could only give up for now.
Although Sima Li and Sima Rou from the Sima Family hated Chen Zong to the core, they did not have any good ideas to deal with Chen Zong. After all, violence was not allowed in the Xuanming District, and the geniuses on the Netherworld Roll were no exception.
As for challenging Chen Zong, their ranking on the Hell Board was higher than Chen Zong's. If they took the initiative to challenge Chen Zong, they would be lowering their own status.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
In the No. 93 Xuanming Courtyard, an aura suddenly erupted and shot up into the sky like a sharp sword piercing through the sky. It was sharp and forceful, majestic and vast, deep and domineering.
The Half-Saint power cultivated from the tenth level of the Taiyuan Cloud Scraping Technique was very powerful.
Immediately, Chen Zong's cultivation broke through the shackles and rose from the Lower Half-Saint level to the Middle Half-Saint level. The breakthrough not only doubled the amount of Chen Zong's Half-Saint power, but also doubled its purity and power.
The powerful energy fluctuation spread out and filled his entire body. Chen Zong showed a touch of joy.
Although he had just broken through, Chen Zong could feel that his strength was much stronger than before.
If he stabilized for a while and cultivated for a while, it would not be a fantasy for his strength to double.
With the breakthrough in cultivation, the potential of his soul was further released in an instant. All kinds of martial arts mysteries emerged one after another.
Chen Zong sat cross-legged quietly and motionlessly. His powerful aura gradually withdrew, and he seemed to have turned into a piece of wood.
Countless spiritual lights emerged in his mind, as if countless figures were flickering endlessly, and as if countless sword radiances were tearing through the sky.
Every silhouette and every sword light was incomparably mysterious.
This meditation lasted for half a month. Chen Zong's eyelids trembled slightly, and his eyes, which had been closed for a long time, opened. A trace of indescribable mysterious fluctuation spread out from the bottom of his eyes.
The aura exhaled from his mouth turned into a wisp of Sword Qi that pierced through the air, tearing through everything as if it was indestructible.
His Qi Cultivation had broken through to the Middle Half-Saint level.
His Thousand Men Extreme Slaying Sword Technique and Blood Dripping Sword Technique had also broken through. His Thousand Shadows Illusory Body Technique and Illusory Nine Changes Body Technique had also broken through.
He stood up, jumped up, and drew his sword to strike.
Chen Zong practiced swordsmanship.
This practice lasted for three days and three nights before stopping.
"Next, it's time to stretch my muscles and bones." Chen Zong put the Gilded Mountain Sword back into its sheath, and a cold smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
…
"What? Chaotic Universe Sword Chen Zong challenged Eternal Heaven Lord Simali!"
This news swept out like a storm, and once again caused an uproar in Xuanming City.
Nan Wu Kong, Zheng Tuo, and the others were all shocked when they heard the news.
Eternal Heaven Lord Simali was a direct descendant of the Sima family. His cultivation was at the High Half-Saint level, and he was very powerful. He was ranked 76th on the Underworld List.
Chen Zong was ranked 93rd.
The battle between Chen Zong and Li Xilang had indeed proved Chen Zong's strength. He was qualified to threaten Nan Wu Kong and Zheng Tuo, but only qualified.
As Zheng Tuo said, Chen Zong would surpass him sooner or later, but Zheng Tuo didn't think that Chen Zong could do it in just a few months. It would take at least a few years.
In just two or three months, Chen Zong actually took the initiative to challenge Simali.
Could it be that his strength had greatly improved in the past few months?
"Well, since you're asking for death, I'll fulfill your wish." Simali sneered when he heard the news.
"This time, you have to seize the opportunity to destroy him." Sima Rou's beautiful face flashed with a touch of ferocity.
During this period, they had been thinking about how to deal with Chen Zong. They didn't expect him to take the initiative to challenge them. This was the perfect opportunity.
"Don't worry, Rou Rou." Simali clenched his hands, as if he was going to crush Chen Zong.
"The 93rd on the Underworld List challenges the 76th." In the ninth Xuanming Courtyard, a robust young man dressed in black armor revealed an interested smile.
He hadn't been to Xuanming City for a long time, and he didn't expect to encounter such an interesting thing this time.
Maybe he could go and have a look.
The news caused a storm, and Wine Master naturally knew about it.
"This guy." Wine Master shook his head, but he wasn't worried. He had only met Chen Zong a few times, and he knew that Chen Zong wasn't a reckless person.
Since he dared to take the initiative to challenge him, it meant that he was confident.
However, when the time came, Wine Master would have to step in. After all, his opponent was from the Sima Family. What if he wanted to use his power to oppress others?
No matter what the discussion was, Chen Zong didn't affect him, and he continued to meditate and improve.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the battle arena, Chen Zong had arrived. He stood on the battle arena with his eyes closed, and he was calm as he meditated and waited.
Many people had gathered around the battle arena, but the challenger, Eternal Heaven Lord Simali, still hadn't arrived.
Time passed slowly. In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed, and Simali still hadn't appeared.
Chen Zong stood on the battle arena and waited for two hours under everyone's gaze. He didn't feel impatient, but calm.
This was temperament and cultivation.
Four hours had passed, and the people who were waiting were getting impatient. However, Chen Zong's expression didn't change at all.
"Simali is so arrogant."
"Of course, he's from the Sima Family."
"He's doing it on purpose. He's using this method to delay time and make Chen Zong impatient."
Another hour passed before Sima Li finally arrived late.
He walked leisurely, and his face was filled with pride. There was a sharp look in his eyes as he stared at Chen Zong on the battle arena.
At the same time, Chen Zong's eyes opened, and a cold light shot out from his eyes. It was as if Sword Qi was shooting towards Sima Li.
Simali snorted coldly, and a cold smile appeared on his face. He took a step forward, and his body turned into a ray of light as he flew past and landed on the battle arena.
"I was just thinking about how to deal with you, and you came to me yourself. Just nice." Simali's voice resounded in all directions, and he was extremely arrogant: "Don't worry, I won't kill you. However, as punishment, I will cripple your cultivation. I'll let you know that a country bumpkin will always be a country bumpkin. Go back to where you came from."
"You don't have the ability." Chen Zong's answer was direct and simple, and as sharp as a sword.
"You'll know very soon whether I have the ability or not." Simali seemed to have been doubted. He was so angry that he laughed coldly. He stared at Chen Zong with his sharp eyes, as if he wanted to tear Chen Zong's body into pieces.
He raised his right hand, and a terrifying cold light shot out from his fingertips, piercing through the sky. It was like an aurora, and it carried an astonishing power and killing intent towards Chen Zong.
The Gilded Mountain Sword was unsheathed, and with a loud bang, it slashed out as if it could shatter the sky.
It seemed that Chen Zong's cultivation was still in the middle level of the Half-Saint Realm, but this time, it was the real deal. He was not pretending, and there was no need for him to pretend.
The black and gold sword light was powerful and overbearing, and it was extremely violent. It shattered the finger light with one strike, and a terrifying sword storm was formed.
It was like a thunderclap, and Simali was slightly surprised. He seemed to be much stronger than he was a month ago.
However, Simali was not worried at all. He was extremely confident in his own strength.
The vambrace covered his forearms and palms, and the five fingers were extremely sharp. They were shining with a ray of golden light, which was extremely dazzling.
This was an extraordinary high level Half-Saint Realm armor, and its power was even stronger than that of an ordinary high level Half-Saint Realm armor.
He flicked his ten fingers, and streaks of terrifying Qi shot out from the void. After shattering the sword light, they all shot towards Chen Zong.
Chen Zong held his sword in front of him, blocking every terrifying Qi that shot towards him. He took a step forward, and his body transformed into many illusions.
