Yin Luosheng's figure was like a dark cloud that filled the sky. After grabbing Fu Jiuzhong's pseudo-spirit artifact gauntlet, Yin Luosheng transformed into a dozen or so figures, each of them vivid and lifelike as they charged in different directions.
One of them was aimed at Chen Zong.
Marquis Linshan's expression changed. He quickly changed direction and rushed toward Chen Zong to protect Chen Zong.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yin Luosheng quickly retreated.
The change was too fast. From Fu Jiuzhong's desperate attempt to take Chen Zong's life, to Yin Luosheng's escape, it was only a blink of an eye. It was so fast that many people couldn't react.
Marquis Linshan naturally reacted, but he didn't make a move because he knew that even if he made a move, he wouldn't be able to make the other party stay. Why waste his energy?
Marquis Linshan appeared beside Chen Zong and gently patted Chen Zong's shoulder. A tyrannical energy instantly poured into Chen Zong's body, dispelling the cold energy that invaded Chen Zong's body.
Fu Jiuzhong's desperate attempt wasn't in vain. At least Chen Zong was injured. However, after Marquis Linshan's help dispelled the cold energy, Chen Zong's injuries quickly healed.
However, after using the Burning Blood Combat Technique, his pure Yang blood essence was greatly burned, leaving him with less than twenty percent left. This made Chen Zong look pale, as if he had lost too much blood. He seemed weak and powerless, and his internal energy was almost depleted.
In short, the battle with Fu Jiuzhong had caused Chen Zong's strength to drop to the freezing point.
Even so, Chen Zong's figure stood straight, his back straight like a sword pointing to the sky. His aura was astonishing. No one dared to underestimate him because not long ago, he had displayed astonishing strength. After activating his pseudo-spiritual weapon, he even displayed a four-star battle strength.
Throughout the dynasty's history, many four-star, five-star, and six-star geniuses were inseparable from pseudo-spiritual weapons. It could be said that pseudo-spiritual weapons could also be counted as part of one's battle strength.
Chen Zong wasn't a three-star battle strength now, but an early four-star battle strength.
"This guy is really good at hiding," Guan Yunxi said. It sounded like a reprimand, but his face was full of smiles.
The Marquis of Linshan took out a pill and fed it to Chen Zong. Instantly, the inner strength and Qi and blood he had expended began to recover rapidly. In just a few breaths of time, Chen Zong's pale complexion receded and became rosy again.
It took a while for everyone to recover from their shock.
"Fort Master Situ, how about we wait for Chen Zong to recover before starting the battle with your disciple?" Marquis Linshan looked at Situ Zhan and asked.
Instantly, numerous gazes descended onto Situ Zhan's face.
Situ Zhan's face unconsciously twitched.
Gambling battle?
How were they supposed to fight?
If he had known earlier that Chen Zong had this kind of strength, he would never have proposed a wager with the Marquis of Linshan.
Yang Tianzhao's expression also changed. He wanted to fight Chen Zong, but he wasn't confident. After all, he had witnessed the battle between Chen Zong and Fu Jiuzhong. Based on the strength Fu Jiuzhong had displayed, Yang Tianzhao was indeed stronger than him.
Even without using a pseudo-spiritual weapon, Fu Jiuzhong was still stronger than him.
"For this battle, the Silver Saber Fort admits defeat." Situ Zhan's mind spun, and he spoke word by word. He looked like he was gnashing his teeth. He knew Yang Tianzhao's strength very well. Even if he went all out, he wasn't a match for Chen Zong.
Since that was the case, he might as well admit defeat to avoid losing face and the Mingguang Treasured Armor.
"Farewell." Marquis Wushan said to Marquis Linshan, and he turned to leave with his disciple.
The moment the Flying Ape turned around, a sharp light shot out from its arrogant eyes, as if it wanted to pierce through Chen Zong. The meaning in its eyes was obvious. It was not convinced. It couldn't defeat Chen Zong now, but in the future, it must challenge Chen Zong and defeat him.
With just a glance, it was clear that the Flying Ape was different from Yang Tianzhao.
According to the content of the wager, if Chen Zong lost, he would have to hand over the Origin Chaotic Breaking Force to the Silver Saber Fort. On the other hand, the Silver Saber Fort would have to hand over the Mingguang Treasured Armor, a pseudo-spiritual weapon.
If Situ Zhan admitted defeat, it meant that he had lost the wager, and the Mingguang Treasured Armor would be lost.
Situ Zhan and the elders of the Silver Saber Fort had ugly expressions, as if their parents had died. After all, the Mingguang Treasured Armor was one of the only two pseudo-spiritual weapons in the Silver Saber Fort. If it was lost, the Silver Saber Fort would only have one pseudo-spiritual weapon left, which was the long saber used by Situ Zhan.
For a moment, the people of the Silver Saber Fort wanted to leave this sad place.
Duan Chenjian also didn't challenge Chen Zong because he wasn't confident.
Marquis Linshan had a smile on his face, but his heart was bursting with joy.
To put it bluntly, the Disciple Acceptance Ceremony was a way for the disciple to strengthen his reputation. Unexpectedly, it was so eye-catching that even Marquis Linshan's face was shining.
Not long after, the Disciple Acceptance Ceremony also ended. The people of the Silver Saber Fort were the first to leave. When they left, they looked like they were in a hurry, as if they wished they could grow a few more legs and a few more pairs of wings.
The people outside didn't know why the people of the Silver Saber Fort were in such a hurry. They even looked a little embarrassed because they couldn't see the situation inside.
"Marquis, farewell." After Duan Zhixing bowed, he left with the people of the Proud Sword Manor.
One by one, the leaders of the forces bade farewell to Marquis Linshan. They also said goodbye to Chen Zong before leaving. After all, Chen Zong had been accepted as a disciple by Marquis Linshan, and this Disciple Acceptance Ceremony was of great significance. Moreover, Chen Zong's talent and potential were too shocking, so it was necessary to build a good relationship with him.
Some leaders were even thinking about introducing the young and beautiful women of their forces to Chen Zong. It would be best if they could develop a relationship and become close to him.
Chen Zong didn't know that he had become a hot commodity in the eyes of many people.
…
"In other words, the pseudo-spiritual weapon, the Dragon Power Bracelet, is a treasure left behind by Martial King Huntian." Marquis Linshan's eyes lit up as he said with a smile.
"He's really blessed," Yan Wei said with a smile.
"The value of a pseudo-spiritual weapon is very high. You exposed it in front of everyone, so you have to be careful in the future." Marquis Linshan solemnly warned, "However, in Linshan County, no one should dare to touch you."
Linshan County was the territory of Marquis Linshan. Attacking his disciple in his own territory was the same as going against him.
Thinking of Marquis Linshan's powerful strength and his personal guards and army, anyone who dared to provoke him would die. Even if the Silver Saber Fort and the Proud Sword Manor joined forces, they wouldn't be able to stop Marquis Linshan's anger.
Of course, Marquis Linshan was Marquis Linshan, providing Chen Zong with a backer. However, in the end, Chen Zong still needed to be strong.
After the leaders of the various forces left, they spread the news of what happened in the Disciple Acceptance Ceremony. Of course, they skipped the matter of the Silver Saber Fort's gambling match. Otherwise, it would be a slap to the Silver Saber Fort's face. The consequences of going against the Silver Saber Fort would be terrible.
However, there was no wall in the world that didn't have a crack. Gradually, the details of what happened in the Disciple Acceptance Ceremony were known.
Especially regarding Chen Zong's talent and potential, he was praised time and time again.
"The number one genius of Linshan County."
Chen Zong was crowned as the number one genius, and no one doubted it anymore.
A peak Eighth Transformation Realm cultivator with a peak Three-Star battle strength. In the history of Linshan County, this had never happened before. If he wasn't the number one genius, then what was he? He even used the power of a pseudo spiritual weapon and his battle strength reached the early Four-Star stage.
Time flew. After the Disciple Acceptance Ceremony, Chen Zong declined all invitations from the outside world and focused on cultivation.
Now, he had already mastered the Little Lonely Mountain Visualization Technique and had stepped into the threshold of Enlightenment. However, he was still a distance away from the true Enlightenment.
Turning into a mountain and sensing the heaven and earth, it was as if his entire person had become one with the Mountaineering List. This feeling was so wonderful that he wanted to immerse himself in it and never wake up again.
But that was impossible. Cultivating the Little Lonely Mountain Visualization Technique would constantly consume mental energy. The stronger one's mental energy, the longer the strange state would last, and the greater the harvest.
When his mental energy was almost exhausted, Chen Zong would wake up.
His entire body felt comfortable and comfortable.
The mental energy that he had consumed was also rapidly recovering, like the nourishment of spring water, becoming purer and more condensed.
"If I can achieve Enlightenment, my battle strength can reach Four-Star without the Dragon Force Bracelet," Chen Zong thought to himself.
Between Four-Star and Three-Star, that was a true leap.
"Other than Wu Zhen, if my cultivation reaches the Ninth Refinement Stage or the Sixth Stage of the Chaotic Heaven Origin Breaking Force, my battle prowess will reach the Four-Star level." Chen Zong thought to himself. No matter which of the three paths he took, his battle strength would immediately soar. His future would be filled with hope, strength, and confidence.
Everyone had their own path. While Chen Zong was busy cultivating, Marquis Lin Shan and the others were also busy governing Linshan County.
For Marquis Lin Shan, reaching the Pseudo Transcendent Realm was already his limit. Unless he had a breakthrough, it would be difficult for him to improve much no matter how much he cultivated.
But cultivation was like sailing against the current. If he didn't advance, he would fall back. Therefore, Marquis Lin Shan also had to maintain a certain amount of cultivation time, at least to maintain his current strength.
Walking out of the cultivation room, Yan Wei greeted him.
"Marquis." Yan Wei's expression was solemn, "According to the intelligence sent back by the scouts, the Magic Wind Hall is gradually withdrawing from Marquis Lin Shan."
"Yin Luosheng is still keeping his word." Marquis Lin Shan sneered, "However, we can't let our guard down. Investigate strictly. This might be the other party's strategy to advance by retreating."
"Yes," Yan Wei replied.
"The day after tomorrow, I will prepare to set off for the Royal Capital," Marquis Lin Shan said, his eyes flashing, "I will seek the position of a Kingdom Knight for Chen Zong."
"Kingdom Knight!" Yan Wei was shocked and immediately became happy, "If Young Master can become a Kingdom Knight, you will have another layer of protection."
The tallest tree in the forest would be blown away by the wind. This was nature.
When a cultivator was too outstanding, they would be admired and envied by others. This was also nature.
Perhaps Chen Zong could avoid some dangers with Marquis Lin Shan's protection, but he couldn't avoid all dangers. Moreover, cultivators needed to grow and couldn't always rely on others. Their own strength was the most important.
Becoming a Kingdom Knight was equivalent to having a certain status in the dynasty. Not only could they enjoy the dynasty's salary, but they could also receive the dynasty's protection to a certain extent.
Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult for Chen Zong to become a Kingdom Knight, but if there was a recommendation, the difficulty would be reduced by a lot.
