In the pavilion, Chen Zong squinted his eyes as he looked at the sword marks that were slowly healing on the Black-Gold Puppet.
The Black-Gold Puppet was made of a special metal and was used to test one's attack power. The deeper the marks were, the higher the level of attack power.
Earlier, Chen Zong had used Heart Swordsmanship and World Swordsmanship to attack the Black-Gold Puppet, leaving different sword marks on it.
An inch-deep sword mark represented the power of a rank one Profound Martial Art. If it reached one and a half inches, then it represented the power of a peak rank one Profound Martial Art. So on and so forth, two and a half inches sword marks represented the power of a rank two Profound Martial Art and a peak rank two Profound Martial Art.
Now, the two sword marks on the Black-Gold Puppet were 8 inches and 8.5 inches deep respectively, which meant that the power of Heart Swordsmanship had reached the level of a Rank Eight Ao Wu and the power of World Swordsmanship had reached the level of a top Rank Eight Ao Wu.
Originally, the power of these two swordsmanships could not reach this level. However, because Chen Zong had comprehended the Divine Martial Jade Wall, he had integrated the Extreme Sword Principle and the True Gang Sword Principle into the Heart Swordsmanship and the World Sword Principle respectively, the power of these two swordsmanships increased directly. Then, he continued to absorb the mysteries of the sword marks on the Divine Martial Jade Wall to further improve his swordsmanship foundation and the power of these two swordsmanships.
Even the Heart Swordsmanship, which was not good at attacking power, had been improved to a Rank Eight Ao Wu, which was second only to World Swordsmanship.
Of course, the power of these two Sword Principles was close. However, other than power, they each had their own merits.
"My swordsmanship in close combat is much stronger now," Chen Zong said to himself.
Increasing the power of a swordsmanship from the fifth or sixth level to the eighth level was a huge and shocking increase.
Of course, other than close combat, there was not much improvement in his overall strength. The improvement was rather subtle.
After all, the unique skill was still at the Middle Star-level. It was just a little more refined. It was not as direct and obvious as the improvement of the Great Path Sword Technique.
But no matter what, swordsmanship was the foundation. The better one's swordsmanship was, the stronger one's close combat strength would be, and the easier it would be to master the unique skills. Chen Zong felt that if he was given more time, he might be able to make a breakthrough in his two moves, the Sky-splitting Move and the Mountain and River Suppression, to the level of an Upper Star-level unique skill.
His strength was slowly but steadily increasing. This was only the benefit of the Divine Martial Jade Annulus. Apart from that, there was also the Enlightenment Pagoda and other cultivation resources.
He believed that after six years, his strength would definitely have increased significantly.
Chen Zong did not forget that the inheritance left behind by the World Lord would eventually be fought over by three people. Besides himself, he did not know how powerful the other two people were.
All in all, the stronger he was, the better. Whether it was fighting for the opportunity with the other two or in other aspects, there would only be benefits and no disadvantages.
At this time, someone came to visit. Chen Zong took a look and saw that it was the Swordsman from the General Building who had fought with him in the Cool Breeze Valley.
"What can I do for you?" Chen Zong asked directly.
"There is no future in the branch building. Come to the General Building. You can enjoy better treatment," the Swordsman from the General Building said very directly.
"The General Building lost the battle of the flag," Chen Zong replied unhurriedly.
"This is only temporary. You were just lucky." The Swordsman from the General Building's expression suddenly changed. The failure of the battle of the flag began with Chen Zong. Chen Zong's words directly poked his sore spot. He was very angry.
"Then let's wait and see," Chen Zong said. His meaning was obvious. He refused the Swordsman's invitation.
"Very well, you will regret it," the Swordsman from the General Building said angrily and left angrily.
The invitation failed!
Then, it was time to proceed with the next step of the plan.
In the next few days, Chen Zong stayed in the pavilion to cultivate. He planned to convert all the gains he had gained from the Divine Martial Jade Wall into his own, and then go to other places to meditate and cultivate.
Otherwise, he would bite off more than he could chew.
But a few days later, another person came.
The newcomer was dressed in purple, with silver hair and double pupils. He carried a purple long sword on his back, and there seemed to be wisps of lightning flashing in his eyes, as if they could pierce through everything.
"Chen Zong, I heard that your swordsmanship is superb, and few people can compare with you. Coincidentally, I also practice swordsmanship, and I think my swordsmanship is good." The purple-robed man's eyes were like cold lightning as he slashed out a shocking sword light. It was as if he wanted to break the seal of the pavilion. Layers of ripples spread out, and his voice also penetrated the seal. It was extremely sharp, like the sound of metal clashing. It directly rushed into the pavilion and entered Chen Zong's ears.
Chen Zong was practicing swordsmanship. When he heard the voice, he sheathed his sword and walked out to have a look.
The man in purple carried a sword on his back, and his Sword Qi was fierce and violent, which made Chen Zong feel an indescribable threat. He was very powerful.
All these signs made Chen Zong quickly connect the dots, and then he guessed the man's identity.
"Tie Jianling?" Chen Zong asked in reply.
"That's me." The sword light from the man in purple's eyes became fiercer and fiercer, shining like thunder.
Chen Zong's eyes narrowed slightly.
Tie Jianling!
He was one of the top talents in the General Building of the General Building of the General Building of the General Building of the General Building. He was a great master who ranked fourth on the Cool Wind List, and his strength was very terrifying. Chen Zong could not compare with him on the Divine Generals List, and he was ranked in the top 5,000.
Although his current strength had improved a lot compared to before, and he estimated that it was possible for him to reach the top 7000, compared to the top 5000, the gap was huge, let alone the top 5000.
However, since the other party had come to him and wanted to fight with him, Chen Zong naturally would not refuse. After thinking about it, he understood the other party's plan. It was nothing more than the people from the headquarters who had come to recruit him before, but he had rejected them. Now that they had failed to recruit him, they sent a master who was stronger than him to deal with him.
Of course, he would not kill him, because there was no killing intent coming from the other party. Furthermore, this was the Trade Wind Pavilion. Competition was allowed, but killing other geniuses was not allowed. Otherwise, no matter who it was, they would be severely punished.
Thus, in the end, the other party's goal was to teach him a lesson.
Was he teaching him a lesson?
Chen Zong wasn't afraid. Even if he wasn't a match for him, he wasn't afraid. In fact, Chen Zong even felt happy. To be able to fight against such an expert, especially one who practiced swordsmanship, gave him a feeling of excitement.
Tie Jianling did not expect that Chen Zong would not refuse him. He was indeed brave. Since that was the case, it was a good opportunity to teach him a lesson and let him know how powerful the geniuses from the headquarters were.
If they wanted to fight, they naturally couldn't do it here. There were plenty of places for them to fight in the Trade Wind Inn. Moreover, it was a place similar to the Death Arena. They could fight without any scruples, and there was no need to hold back. Even if they killed their opponent, they wouldn't really die.
"Take my sword first." The sword on Tie Jianling's back was instantly unsheathed, and a terrifying and violent power gushed out from the scabbard.
A Dao Weapon!
Tie Jianling was using a low-grade Dao weapon. It seemed to be a Dao weapon that contained the power of thunder.
Chen Zong also took out the Great Thousand World Sword.
Only a Dao Weapon could compete with a Dao Weapon. Now that his strength was obviously inferior to Tie Jianling's, and Tie Jianling had even used a Dao Weapon, he would be too arrogant if he did not use it.
The moment Tie Jianling's sword left the scabbard, it turned into a flash of purple lightning with an astonishing aura. It was extremely sharp and violent, and it tore through the sky without mercy. In the air, there was a faint sound of thunder, which directly impacted Chen Zong's eardrums and shook Chen Zong's Spiritual Will.
Fortunately, Chen Zong's Divine Will was strong and tenacious, and he was not affected. If it was someone whose Divine Will was not as strong as Chen Zong's, he would probably be disturbed and distracted to defend himself.
Great Way Sword Principle!
The Rushing Thunder Swordsmanship, a sword rushed out like a thunderbolt, and its power was extremely shocking.
Chen Zong's eyes narrowed, and the Great Thousand World Sword was also swung out in an instant. It was the World Sword Principle.
The World Sword Principle was upgraded again, and the power of each sword was equivalent to that of a top Rank Eight Ao Wu. It was extremely terrifying, and Tie Jianling's Rushing Thunder Swordsmanship could not be compared to it.
This was because the power of the Rushing Thunder Swordsmanship was only equivalent to that of a Rank Five Ao Wu.
At the moment when the sword light collided, Tie Jianling's face suddenly changed. The power contained in Chen Zong's Swordsmanship was terrifying. If he did not have the Innate Thunder Spiritual Body, and his basic strength was much stronger than Chen Zong's, he would have been defeated directly.
Even so, Tie Jianling's Rushing Thunder Swordsmanship seemed to have been shattered. When the two swords collided, an overbearing and powerful force pressed down.
"What a terrifying Swordsmanship!" Tie Jianling, an expert ranked within the top 5,000 on the Divine Generals List, had to admit that Chen Zong's Swordsmanship was terrifying.
Previously, when he heard that Chen Zong's swordsmanship was extraordinary, he did not take it seriously and did not take it to heart.
This time, if the expert ranked second on the Breeze List had not asked him to do it, he would not have done it himself.
He did not expect Chen Zong's Swordsmanship to be so superb. It was completely out of his expectation. He had to admit that he had underestimated Chen Zong.
However, although Chen Zong's Swordsmanship was superior, his strength was still inferior to Tie Jianling's.
Chen Zong did not think too much. He attacked with his sword, and then used the Heart Swordsmanship to attack again.
Alternating between the Heart Swordsmanship and the World Sword Principle, Chen Zong suppressed Tie Jianling's Rushing Thunder Swordsmanship.
It could not be helped. Chen Zong's Swordsmanship attainment was much higher than Tie Jianling's.
Suppression!
In the battle of Swordsmanship, Tie Jianling tried his best to perform the Rushing Thunder Swordsmanship, but he was gradually suppressed by Chen Zong, because the rhythm of the battle was controlled by Chen Zong.
Disadvantage!
Tie Jianling was completely at a disadvantage.
If it was not for his superior strength, he would have been defeated long ago. He would not have been able to resist so tenaciously.
Anger!
Tie Jianling was extremely annoyed. He had planned to use his Rushing Thunder Swordsmanship to teach Chen Zong a lesson and let him know the consequences of rejecting the recruitment of the Headquarters.
However, he did not expect that not only did he fail to teach Chen Zong a lesson, but he was also suppressed. Chen Zong's Swordsmanship was too powerful. He had no choice but to use it.
