The Sword Martial Tower did not record the Black Blade Saber Art. Therefore, after exchanging one hundred and fifty Sword Merit Points, Chen Zong had more than five hundred Sword Merit Points in total. Aside from that, the Thunder Bone Tempering Pellet could be exchanged for Sword Merit Points, and each pellet was worth twenty Sword Merit Points. On average, Chen Zong could get twenty pellets every month, which was four hundred Sword Merit Points.
Time flew by. Another month had passed since the mission of eliminating the Black Saber Stockade was completed.
During this month, Chen Zong still practiced diligently as usual. However, after reaching the Second Transformation of the Qi Refining Realm, the speed of improvement was even slower.
During this month, the academy did not release any missions, so he could not obtain more Sword Merit Points.
"I finally accumulated 1,000 Sword Merit Points." Chen Zong was overjoyed and immediately went to the Sword Martial Tower.
The exchange for the Earth Level Lower Class Technique required 250 Sword Merit Points, the Earth Level Medium Class Technique required 500 Sword Merit Points, and the Earth Level Upper Class Technique required 1,000 Sword Merit Points.
Among the disciples of the previous batch, most of them only practiced the Earth Level Medium Class Technique. They lacked Sword Merit Points.
For example, Chen Zong could obtain 20 Sword Merit Points each month during the Seven Rising Stars. With the Thunder Bone-Forging Pill, he could accumulate 1,000 Sword Merit Points in less than a year.
The fifth level of the Sword Martial Tower contained Earth Level Upper Grade cultivation techniques and Earth Level Upper Grade martial arts.
Chen Zong's goal was to exchange for an Earth Level Upper Class Technique so that he could practice better.
There were not many Earth Tier Superior Grade cultivation techniques on the fifth floor of the Sword Martial Tower. There were a total of 21 of them. After careful selection, Chen Zong chose a cultivation technique called the Great Primordial Force. He also took a look at the other sword techniques and other martial arts to broaden his horizons.
There were four levels to the Great Mixed Essence Force. It was similar to the Positive Essence Force. The inner strength cultivated from the Great Mixed Essence Force was strong and suitable for any martial arts.
On the second floor of the tower, Chen Zong spent half a day carefully comprehending the mysteries of the Great Mixed Essence Force. After mastering the first and second levels, he began to practice.
In three hours, he had mastered the first level of the Great Mixed Primordial Force, and his Positive Primordial Force had transformed into the Great Mixed Primordial Force.
"The quantity hasn't increased or decreased, but the purity has increased by 10%." Chen Zong came to this conclusion after a careful examination. He continued to cultivate the second level of the Great Mixed Essence Force.
After spending nearly a day, Chen Zong had mastered the second level of the Great Primeval Chaos Force. His cultivation had not improved, but the quantity of his Internal Strength had increased by about 30%, and its purity had also increased by about 20%.
"Silent Wind Chant!"
As soon as the sword was unleashed, the sword light seemed to transform into a gust of wind that blended into the air. There was no sound. Immediately, a sword mark appeared on the Precious Iron Pillar. The sword mark was straight and delicate. It was hard to imagine that it was made by the ceremonial sword.
"Silent Wind Chant has reached the Minute Subtlety Realm, and its power has increased by a lot. The second layer of Mixed Yuan Force has also increased the power of the sword technique."
The cultivation of the third stage of the Primordial Chaos Force was more difficult than he had imagined.
After another 20 days, Chen Zong had finally mastered the third level of the Great Primeval Chaos Force. His Internal Strength had increased by 30%, and its purity had increased by another 30%.
In other words, it should not be that the purity had increased, but that the potential had been developed. The Internal Strength refined by the Leakless Body should have been very pure. Limited by the cultivation method, only a small part of it could be exerted. However, as the cultivation method improved, the part of it that could be exerted would be greater.
"Now, in terms of the quantity of Internal Strength, it may not be as good as the Third Turn of the Qi Refining Realm. However, in terms of purity, it is better than many Third Turn of the Qi Refining Realm. It should be enough to compete with those Third Turn of the Qi Refining Realm disciples who practice the Upper Grade Earth Level cultivation method." Chen Zong thought to himself, "Last month, Lin Tianyu challenged the Iron Sword List with the cultivation of the Second Turn of the Qi Refining Realm and successfully defeated the 49th person. Now, it's my turn."
Be listed on the Iron Sword List!
Fight for the Seven Sword Stars!
This was the wish and goal of every ambitious disciple.
Chen Zong was no exception.
However, he was not in a hurry. First, he would see if he could cultivate the Great Primordial Force to the fourth level. That would mean that his Internal Strength would be thicker and purer.
Only half a month had passed, and the fourth level of the Great Primordial Force was still far away. It seemed that he would not be able to reach it in a short period of time.
Chen Zong challenged Li Beiyu, who was ranked 43rd on the Iron Sword List.
"Chen Zong, you are too arrogant. Today, I will teach you how to behave." Li Beiyu had a sneer on his face.
"Don't boast too early. Otherwise, you won't be able to end it." Chen Zong responded unhurriedly.
"First, Lin Tianyu succeeded in challenging the Iron Sword List. Now, Chen Zong also wants to challenge the Iron Sword List. Can he succeed?"
"I think it will be difficult. Lin Tianyu's strength was originally higher than Chen Zong's, and he challenged the last person on the Iron Sword List. In the end, he barely won. Chen Zong challenged Li Beiyu, who is ranked 43rd."
"How can he be a match for Senior Brother Li?" The people from the Liu Sect sneered, mocking Chen Zong for overestimating himself.
Ma Xifeng, Zhou Hai, and the others also stood in the crowd to watch.
"Senior Brother Ma, do you think Chen Zong is a match for Li Beiyu?" Zhou Hai asked in a low voice.
"It's hard to say." Ma Xifeng shook his head.
"It's hard to say. Ma Xifeng, your eyesight is too bad. Do you think that a new disciple who has been in the school for less than a year will be a match for Li Beiyu? Especially when the difference in cultivation is so obvious." Cao Bang, who was ranked 14th on the Iron Sword List, sneered.
"Cao Bang, don't underestimate anyone." Ma Xifeng responded indifferently.
"That depends on who it is. Perhaps Chen Zong's talent is not bad, but his cultivation time is too short. He can't be a match for Li Beiyu." Cao Bang said decisively, "If you don't believe me, you and I can make a bet."
"If you want to play, I'll play with you." Ma Xifeng's eyes flashed coldly. "Let's bet 100 Sword Merit Points."
"Okay, 100 Sword Merit Points. I'll take it." Cao Bang was confident because he was more familiar with Li Beiyu and knew how strong he was.
"Chen Zong, you disrespected your senior brother and looked down on our Liu Gate. Today, I'll use the sword in my hand to wake you up." Li Beiyu drew his sword as soon as he finished speaking. The sword trembled slightly and streaked through the air like a weightless feather. Its trajectory was unpredictable.
"Don't make it sound so dignified. You know best what the truth is." In response, Chen Zong also unsheathed his sword. The sword light was sharp and direct. It pierced through the air and seemed to ripple like water.
The two swords did not collide. Li Beiyu's sword suddenly dodged at the last moment and flew towards Chen Zong from the side. Its trajectory was unpredictable.
"Li Beiyu's Fluttering Feather Sword Technique is even more refined."
The Fluttering Feather Sword Technique was a mid-class Earth Level sword technique. It focused on lightness and was very flexible. It was like a feather floating in the air. Its trajectory was unpredictable.
"Hit!"
The sword light was like a feather that was about to land on Chen Zong's body.
Like a gust of wind, Chen Zong's sword touched the tip of Li Beiyu's sword without a sound. The moment they touched, he retracted his sword, but a powerful force exploded and deflected the tip of the sword.
Li Beiyu's cultivation method was the mid-class Earth Level Fluttering Feather Force. It complemented the Fluttering Feather Sword Technique and could unleash its greatest power.
The Fluttering Feather Force focused on lightness and flexibility. Li Beiyu's footsteps were like that. His body was like a feather. As long as the wind blew, he would move with it and become even more unpredictable.
However, the Great Immemorial Force focused on being vigorous and upright. The Severing Wind Sword Technique seemed to be related to the wind, but that was only on the surface. Its essence was to cut off.
Except for the killing move of the thirteenth move, Chen Zong had already cultivated the rest of the moves to the Immemorial Realm. He had already grasped the essence of the moves. When he used them, he immediately cut off Li Beiyu's sword technique.
"Fluttering Feather Steps!" Li Beiyu exerted all his strength. Under his footwork, his body became even more agile and unpredictable. The sword in his hand also became more unpredictable.
Chen Zong's eyes were sharp as if he could see through everything. Li Beiyu's sword technique gradually became clear under his gaze.
Strike!
Cut off!
Counterattack!
The difference between the two was only in the amount of inner strength. In terms of purity, Li Beiyu did not have any advantage. In fact, he was at a disadvantage. Although the Fluttering Feather Sword Technique was a mid-class Earth Level sword technique, he had only cultivated it to the Perfection Realm and had not reached the Immemorial Realm.
"This is impossible!" Cao Bang's pupils contracted.
He could see that Li Beiyu was not going easy on him, but he was gradually at a disadvantage.
"Fluttering Feather Zero Kill!"
With a low shout and a burst of killing intent, Li Beiyu's body swayed like a feather. The sword in his hand also swayed, drawing a changeable trajectory. In an instant, it changed more than a dozen times. Each time, it gave people the feeling that it was untraceable. It looked like he was attacking Chen Zong from the front, but in fact, he appeared behind him and attacked.
This was the ultimate move of the Fluttering Feather Sword Technique. It was a move full of confusion. If one was not careful, they would be hit. However, Chen Zong had already seen through the mystery of this move.
The tenth move of the Severing Wind Sword Technique!
With a swing of the sword, he directly cut off the trajectory of the Fluttering Feather Zero Kill.
Silent Wind!
The sword disappeared and turned into a gust of wind. The hair on Li Beiyu's forehead fluttered. His expression changed greatly. He immediately retreated as light as a feather.
He retreated quickly, but Chen Zong's sword was faster.
Wind from the South to the North!
This was the twelfth move of the Severing Wind Swordsmanship. It was also a sword move full of changes. It seemed to be left and right, slow but fast.
The distance between them seemed to be shortened in an instant. Li Beiyu immediately dodged to the left. Unexpectedly, Chen Zong's sword appeared strangely on the right, as if waiting for him to crash into it.
It went straight for the heart!
In an instant, his heart seemed to stop beating. He was almost suffocating and his face turned green.
Swish! Swish!
Swish! Chen Zong's sword was continuous. It was like a gust of wind blowing, continuously stabbing Li Beiyu's body. His shoulders, arms, and wrists were all hit. The inner strength in his arms was scattered, unable to gather, and his muscles were weak.
With the last strike, the ceremonial sword in Li Beiyu's hand suddenly flew up and fell to the side.
Chen Zong's sword steadily rested on Li Beiyu's neck.
If it were a battle of life and death, even if he used the ceremonial sword, this strike would be enough to kill Li Beiyu.
"Cao Bang, thank you for your 100 sword merit points. I will accept it." Ma Xifeng smiled.
Cao Bang's face was full of shock and then turned green.
The others were dumbfounded and speechless. Such a result was completely unexpected. Not only did Chen Zong win, but he won in a clean and tidy manner.
"I have already told you not to boast too early." Chen Zong put away his sword and said lightly. Li Beiyu's cheeks twitched and his eyes were bloodshot. He was shocked and stared fiercely at Chen Zong. He looked very unwilling, as if he wanted to eat Chen Zong alive.
He had lost.
