"Brother Chen hasn't come out yet." Yang Yi and the other three appeared outside the Star Battle Tower and swept their gazes over the place. When they saw that there were already eight people in the same batch as them, including the four of them, and Chen Zong was not among them, they were immediately stunned.
When their gazes landed on the Star Battle Pagoda, they were dumbfounded.
What was that?
The stars on the tenth and eleventh levels of the Star Battle Pagoda were all lit up.
This meant that someone had reached the tenth level, and someone had reached the eleventh level. However, the stars on the first to ninth and twelfth levels were dim, indicating that there was no one there.
So now, there were two people still in the Star Battle Pagoda. One was the Baili Clan's prodigy, Bai Liyan, who was also known as the Flying Star Sword. The other was their new friend, Chen Zong, whom they had met on the way to Heavenly Phoenix City.
They had not deliberately investigated Chen Zong's cultivation and strength. It was not that they were not curious, but that they did not know why they did not ask at that time. It was as if there was no chance to ask. However, they also felt that Chen Zong's cultivation and strength should be about the same as theirs. Even if he was strong, it would not be by much.
Now, it seemed that his thinking back then was wrong, very wrong.
This new friend of theirs, Chen Zong, was not ordinary. His importance in Yang Yi's heart had skyrocketed.
At least, from what they could see in the Star Battle Pagoda, Chen Zong was a nine-star prodigy. As for the person who had reached the eleventh level, it should be the Flying Star Sword, Bai Liyan. After all, in the Ancient Phoenix Domain, Bai Liyan's reputation as a prodigy was well known and recognized.
No one thought that the person who had reached the eleventh level was not Bai Liyan.
Then, with a flash of light, a figure appeared, condensed, and materialized.
"It's Bai Liyan."
"As expected, he can reach the tenth level, but can't reach the eleventh level."
"Even if he can't reach the eleventh level, he has broken through the limit of the Low Extremity realm. The Baili Clan has one more elite prodigy."
"Who is the other one? He can reach the tenth level."
Discussions broke out in an instant.
"No, you're all mistaken. Bai Liyan didn't pass the tenth floor." Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out like a sudden clap of thunder.
Bai Liyan, who was enjoying everyone's respectful and shocked gazes, was suddenly stunned. He quickly turned his head around like a frightened cat. Then, his eyes widened and his face was filled with disbelief.
The stars on the tenth level dimmed, but the stars on the eleventh level were still shining, releasing an incomparably dazzling brilliance.
Who was it?
Who had passed the tenth level and reached the eleventh level?
Could it be him?
Bai Liyan suddenly recalled that among the people who had challenged the Star Battle Pagoda with him, there was someone whom he could not see through. Originally, Bai Liyan had thought that the other party was deliberately mystifying him. Could it be that this person was not deliberately mystifying him and was actually stronger than him, so he could not see through him?
For a moment, Baili Yan's expression changed and became somewhat ashen.
Originally, he had wanted to receive a wave of praise, but now he realized that it was not the case. The limelight had been stolen by someone else, and it was a nameless person who had come from nowhere. He was furious.
After about ten breaths of time, a ray of light flew out from the Star Battle Pagoda and descended like a stream of light. After landing, Chen Zong's body was revealed. Many shocked gazes fell on Chen Zong, shocked beyond words.
The starlight on the eleventh level of the Star Battle Pagoda was extinguished and became dim again. Clearly, this person had not passed the eleventh level.
However, one should not forget that he had passed the tenth level, which meant that this person's battle strength had already surpassed the limits of the normal limit. He was a powerhouse with Limiteer battle strength, and he looked so young. He was definitely an existence on the same level as the top geniuses.
"Chen … Chen Zong …" Yang Yi opened his mouth wide and wanted to call out to Chen Zong, but he stuttered. He could only say the first word and could not say the second word because he was too shocked.
Ten-star!
A top genius with Low Extremity battle strength was actually traveling with them. God, this was unbelievable.
Even in the Wind King Sect, there were very few top geniuses who possessed the combat strength of the Dawn Extreme realm. There were only two or three of them in total. Each of them was high up in the Wind King Sect and had an extremely high status and authority. It could be said that they were second only to the Sect Leader and were almost equal to the Elders.
It was rare to see such a big shot. Never would they have thought that the person they met along the way would be a top genius of this level.
"Who are you? Where are you from? "Bai Liyan appeared in front of Chen Zong in a flash and stared coldly at Chen Zong. He wanted to get to the bottom of this.
"My name is Chen Zong, a rogue cultivator," Chen Zong replied calmly.
"A rogue cultivator …" Bai Liyan was suddenly stunned. Everyone around also had a strange look on their faces.
A rogue cultivator?
A rogue cultivator?
Is that true?
In the Ancient Mystic World, there was indeed a group of rogue cultivators. However, compared to the people in the forces, rogue cultivators were usually weaker because they lacked good inheritances, resources, and so on.
Inheritances, resources, environment, and guidance from predecessors were all closely related to cultivation. Every one of these was very important as they could improve one's cultivation and strength better.
As for rogue cultivators, most of them were actually more average in talent and were not valued by the forces. It was difficult for them to enter the forces but they yearned for the path of cultivation. Because they did not have enough power to back them up, it was very difficult for them to obtain treasures, inheritances, and resources. Even if they were lucky enough to obtain them, they might be snatched away by stronger people or even killed.
In short, rogue cultivators were a group of bitter cultivators. However, there were exceptions to everything. The rogue cultivator group was very large. Whether it was in the outer universe or the inner universe, it could be regarded as the largest group in the world of cultivation. It was also the most complicated and chaotic group. Among the rogue cultivators, there was no lack of people who had obtained great opportunities and had extraordinary abilities. They were not inferior to the top geniuses of some forces or even great forces.
Since Chen Zong called himself a rogue cultivator, perhaps he was one of those rogue cultivators who had obtained great opportunities. That was why he had such a powerful combat strength.
"Chen Zong, right? I am Bai Liyan of the Baili Clan. My Baili Clan is a powerful force in the Ancient Phoenix Domain that is second only to the Ancient Phoenix Mountain. It is also a sword family with a heritage of more than 10,000 years. There is a Saint-level powerhouse in the clan. You are very good and have some talent. From now on, follow me," Bai Liyan said as a confident smile appeared on his face.
Baili Clan!
A Sky-level force that was second only to the Ancient Phoenix Mountain. It was very powerful. In the entire Ancient Phoenix Domain, there were only a few forces that could stand side by side with the Baili Clan.
Many people dreamt of becoming a member of the Baili Clan but were unable to do so. This was especially true for those rogue cultivators. Once the Baili Clan announced that they were recruiting, they would break their heads trying to compete. If they wanted to become a member of the Baili Clan, they could even start as a guard.
However, this opportunity was rare. As a Sky-level force, they had their pride and their threshold. Not just anyone could join.
Hearing that Bai Liyan was personally recruiting Chen Zong, many people revealed looks of envy. They also wanted to be recruited.
"Not interested." Chen Zong responded without hesitation.
"What!?" The proud expression on Bai Liyan's face suddenly froze. Immediately, he revealed a look of shock and anger. He roared in a low voice, "Do you know what you are saying?"
"You are not qualified." Chen Zong's reply had two additional words. The content of his reply caused Bai Liyan to explode. In an instant, his anger exploded. His sword intent soared into the sky. The longsword at his waist trembled as if it was about to awaken. It emitted waves of sword cries, as if it was about to be unsheathed and burst out with a monstrous sword aura.
The expressions of the surrounding people changed. The Sword Will was extremely tyrannical. As it swept past, it made them feel as if they were being torn apart. Specks of starlight appeared and bloomed. They floated in the air and were as bright as shooting stars.
Anger!
Bai Liyan felt that he was being looked down upon. He was extremely angry. As for the fact that he had only reached the tenth level while the other party had reached the eleventh, although he knew, he did not acknowledge it from the bottom of his heart.
After all, although the combat strength standard of the Battle Star Pagoda was not wrong, it still needed other achievements to support it. Just the result of one's breakthrough in the Battle Star Pagoda was not enough to make one's reputation. In other words, it was not enough to support one's reputation.
Chen Zong instantly felt a terrifying sword intent emanating from Bai Liyan's body. The sword intent seemed to be about to explode at any moment. It carried the longsword in the scabbard and pierced through the air. Once it was unleashed, it would be an earth-shattering blow.
At the same time, an even more tyrannical and condensed sword intent exploded from Chen Zong's body. It directly rushed towards Bai Liyan and suppressed his sword intent.
Bai Liyan's tyrannical aura began to weaken. His expression turned ugly.
He was actually being suppressed. How could his opponent's sword intent be so tyrannical and terrifying?
"What a frightening sword intent. Is he really a loose cultivator?" A glint flashed in the depths of the young man's eyes. He was secretly surprised.
Baili Yan narrowed his eyes and glanced at Chen Zong again. He withdrew his aura and sword intent and withdrew his gaze. Then, he turned around and left without saying a word. However, his face was extremely gloomy, like a dark cloud. It was as if water was about to drip out of it.
His opponent's sword intent was too strong. Combined with the fact that he had passed the tenth level of the Battle Star Pagoda, he might really be stronger than Bai Liyan. Furthermore, his opponent had so rudely rejected Bai Liyan's invitation. He did not give Bai Liyan any face at all. If Bai Liyan continued to stay, he would only embarrass himself even more.
No one dared to provoke Bai Liyan at this moment. This was because he did indeed look extremely angry.
After Bai Liyan left, the others looked at Chen Zong in shock. It was as if they wanted to see through Chen Zong.
"Brother … Brother Chen …" Yang Yi's stuttering had improved a little. He finally managed to complete the way he addressed Chen Zong. However, he was still very surprised. As for the other three, they were extremely shocked.
"Brother, you are quite capable. With just a few words, you made Bai Liyan so angry that he had nothing to say." A laughing voice sounded. A young man wearing a black hat stepped forward. He looked at Chen Zong with a smile. "My name is Wu Jie. I am a disciple of the Sacred Saber Manor. I am here to make friends with Brother Chen."
