Outside the Xuan Yuan Treasure Scroll, the names on the huge light screen began to change.
At first, the 1,080 names on the light screen had nothing to do with the ranking. It was completely random. However, at this moment, some names jumped to the top, and the points behind them changed from one to two or three.
The change in the ranking and points meant that someone had been killed.
The competition had begun.
Being able to kill without holding back meant that the competition would be more direct, cruel, and even tragic.
Chen Zong couldn't improve for the time being, so he didn't waste any time. He walked toward the forest while comprehending the half-step sword intent.
He had comprehended the half-step sword intent to eighty percent. If he could comprehend it to ninety percent, his strength would be improved a lot.
Although he couldn't improve immediately, he could accumulate. When the opportunity came, he could naturally make a breakthrough.
At the same time, a figure quickly entered the forest from another direction and bumped into Chen Zong.
"Not bad, I got one point." This person stared at Chen Zong from afar. His eyes shone with an incomparably sharp light, and the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile.
He was the genius of the capital city.
Just like the geniuses of the Tianyun Prefecture would have a natural sense of superiority when facing the geniuses of the Mountain Flow Prefecture.
The geniuses of the capital city would also have a natural sense of superiority when facing the geniuses from outside the capital city.
This sense of superiority was deeply ingrained in their bones and was hard to get rid of.
The man was extremely fast. He flew past like an aurora and quickly approached Chen Zong. A trace of fierce aura locked onto him.
He was approaching!
He unsheathed his long saber.
The saber light was bright and cold, like a stream of light blooming from a snowy mountain. It swept through the air with a trace of amazing sharpness, leaving a trace in the air.
One could kill people here, but one would not truly die. Thus, when one attacked, one would be able to display one's strength to their heart's content.
Kill!
The cold and bright saber light was reflected in Chen Zong's eyes. It was like a stream of light falling from the sky. A trace of fierce killing intent made Chen Zong feel cold all over.
Very powerful!
No wonder they were geniuses who could enter the Taoist Competition. Each of them had extraordinary strength.
He unsheathed the Gilded Mountain Sword and struck out.
The one hundred and fifty thousand jin Gilded Heavy Mountain Sword struck out in a flash. The sword light was golden, and the sword mark was left behind. This strike was also merciless.
The saber light was instantly shattered, and a sword mercilessly slashed out, causing the other party's expression to change drastically.
"Flying Snow!" With a low shout, the saber light rose again and suddenly shattered, turning into countless snowflake-like saber lights that filled the air. Every snowflake was filled with an extremely terrifying and cold killing intent, and the temperature of the world suddenly dropped a lot.
The cold Qi assaulted Chen Zong, causing his entire body to shiver involuntarily. Fortunately, Chen Zong's physical body was strong and he had the Purple Cloud Black Star Flame, which greatly resisted the cold Qi's invasion and did not affect him.
Blood splattered from the sword!
Bloody light shot out, piercing through the fluttering white snowflakes as the sword slashed towards the prodigy of the Royal Capital.
The expressions of the Heaven's Favorites of the Royal Capital changed drastically. They were all shocked.
This sword was so fast and powerful that it was hard to defend against.
The saber light became denser, and the snowflakes became denser. Every snowflake released an extremely shocking light, as if the sky was reflecting on the snow. The intense light made people dizzy.
Endless Blood Sea!
Chen Zong's heart skipped a beat. He immediately tried the beginner level Blood Drop Swordsmanship's third move.
This move was new to him, but its power was not weak. The prodigy was not weak either, so he could be the perfect target to test it out.
The sword rose and fell, and the bloody light exploded, turning into a surging tide that instantly drowned all the cold snowflakes. Even the prodigy's body seemed to be swallowed up and disappeared.
Within the bloody light, countless blood-colored sword qi pierced through the air, carrying a powerful force that could cause blood to splatter and blood to explode.
A scream was heard. When the bloody light dissipated, the prodigy of the Royal Capital was also killed. His body turned into a ray of light and disappeared.
He was dead, but he was not really dead. He would be reborn somewhere else in the Xuan Yuan Treasure Scroll.
After killing the prodigy, Chen Zong had a feeling that he had obtained one point. His current points were two.
At the same time, on the light screen outside, Chen Zong's name had also changed. It was now closer to the front, and the points behind his name had also changed from one to two.
Chen Zong moved forward while circulating his Cultivation Method to absorb the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth to recover some of the power he had consumed.
Two points were nothing at all, because the time limit was one month. The further one went, the more points one would obtain. When the time came, he would be able to obtain half of the prodigy's points, which could be dozens or even hundreds.
The Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Xuan Yuan Treasure Scroll was very rich and frighteningly pure. As soon as he circulated his Cultivation Method, a large amount of Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth was immediately absorbed into his body and quickly refined. It was very easy.
Chen Zong could also feel that his cultivation was increasing little by little.
This place was really like a holy land for cultivation. Chen Zong estimated that if he cultivated here for a few months, his cultivation would probably reach the peak of the high level of the Half-saint realm and reach the upper limit of the Half-saint realm.
However, the purpose of coming here was not to cultivate, but to compete for a place in the Xuanyuan Sacred Assembly.
It took Chen Zong three days to cultivate the Endless Blood Sea to the beginner level. The person who ranked first on the light screen was named Chu Zhong Yang, who had 38 points, while the person in second place had 33 points.
The lower the ranking, the fewer points one had. Chen Zong's points were two, and his name was listed in the lower hundreds.
However, it had not been long since the beginning, so there was still time to accumulate points and improve his ranking.
The 1,080 prodigies had all stood out after going through many rounds of selection. Each of them had powerful strength and extraordinary means.
Time flew by, and three days had passed. Chen Zong had encountered more than a dozen prodigies. Some were from the Royal City, while others were from the Three Paths.
More than a dozen prodigies had fought with Chen Zong. In the end, all of them had died under Chen Zong's sword, and the points had been obtained by Chen Zong.
Twenty-two!
This was Chen Zong's current number of points. His ranking had also increased by dozens, but there was still a big gap between him and the top 108.
The continuous battles with other prodigies had not only brought Chen Zong an increase in points, but also a more amazing effect.
His opponents in every battle were prodigies. Even if they were defeated by his sword in the end, they still brought pressure and threat to Chen Zong.
Such battles were excellent training. Under such training, Chen Zong's foundation had unknowingly become more solid, and his accumulation had become more profound and vigorous.
After more than a dozen battles, Chen Zong felt as if he had been comprehending and cultivating alone for several months.
"Perhaps I can improve my Half-step Sword Intent to 90% here," Chen Zong thought to himself.
If his Half-step Sword Intent reached 90%, his basic strength would be even more powerful, and everything based on his basic strength would also be greatly improved and become even more amazing.
If he were to compare his current strength to the Xuanming Territory's Dark List, he would be stronger than Sima Huanyu, who was ranked ninth, and not inferior to Hu Lieshan, who was ranked eighth.
As for his ranking on the Dark List, Chen Zong was not sure because he had not fought with anyone before. However, Chen Zong was confident that he would not be inferior to the fifth on the Dark List.
If his Half-step Sword Intent could be improved to 90%, his strength would definitely be stronger, and it would not be impossible for him to be ranked in the top three of the Dark List.
He would not be inferior to Jian Lingxiao at all.
As for Xu Mubai, Chen Zong felt that he was somewhat unfathomable and could not judge him.
Given Xu Mubai's strength, it should not be difficult for him to obtain one hundred and eight places.
As long as he obtained one hundred and eight places, he would be able to participate in the real Xuanyuan Sacred Assembly. No matter what ranking he obtained in the Xuanyuan Sacred Assembly, he would be rewarded and become famous.
It could be said that he would gain both fame and fortune.
If he did not enter the Xuanyuan Sacred Assembly, everything would just be an experience. Although it was good, it was nothing more than that.
Since all the sky-prides had to participate in the various selections, they had the intention to obtain better benefits.
If a Xuanyuan Sacred Assembly could not obtain any benefits, no one would be willing to participate and waste their time.
The Dao of Cultivation was originally the Dao of Competition. Competition with others, with heaven and earth, and with oneself.
Fighting for a way out, fighting for a future, and fighting for a bright Dao.
"If that's the case, I'll find a place to meditate in seclusion and try to improve my Half-step Sword Intent to 90% in a short time," Chen Zong said to himself as his eyes flickered.
Originally, it would take at least a few months or even longer to improve from 80% to 90%. However, after going through one battle after another, he had accumulated, deepened, and honed it continuously. There was hope that he could make a breakthrough in a short time.
Chen Zong also intended to give it a try and see if he could improve it in a short time. If he could improve it, he would become stronger and obtain more points.
Sharpening a knife would not delay the work of cutting firewood.
After making up his mind, Chen Zong did not waver and immediately found a place to meditate in seclusion.
He used the mountain rocks as a cover and restrained his aura, making it difficult for others to detect him. He calmly meditated in seclusion.
With an incomparably solid foundation and repeated honing, Chen Zong's mind was filled with inspiration and countless Sword Dao feelings permeated.
Time passed slowly. In the Xuanyuan Treasure Scroll World, a group of sky-prides was constantly looking for other sky-prides to kill and steal their points.
Of course, there were also a few sky-prides who chose to temporarily lay low and improve themselves. They would only attack when their strength improved further. By then, they would be able to obtain more points by killing others.
Those who chose this method often had some gains and were confident that they could improve their strength in a short time.
As for the others, it was difficult for them to improve, so they chose to look for others to kill and obtain points.
In the blink of an eye, one day passed, two days passed, and three days passed.
Chen Zong continued to meditate without being disturbed at all. This was because no one found Chen Zong. Even if someone passed by, they would only glance at him and would not go into details. Chen Zong was also unique in concealing his aura.
In the blink of an eye, five days passed.
