(Everyone, please support me!)
Chen Zong held a sword in one hand and a 200-jin bronze cauldron in the other. He strode toward the clan hall under the astonished gazes of the passersby.
"Nine Transformation Blood Rejuvenation Pill … One million White Jade Coins … Seven Leaf Blood Lotus … Two million White Jade Coins …" Chen Zong pondered as he walked.
To the current him, the price of millions of White Jade Coins was too high.
One million White Jade Coins was a huge burden for the entire Chen family.
As for the so-called opportunity that Qian Huan mentioned, Chen Zong rejected it without hesitation after hearing it.
The Dingtian Pavilion did all kinds of business. Naturally, some of them were dangerous. Therefore, they needed to cultivate their own warriors. Qian Huan had taken a fancy to Chen Zong's talent and wanted Chen Zong to sign the Dingtian Contract with the Dingtian Pavilion.
The content of the contract was that Chen Zong would become a member of the Dingtian Pavilion from the day of signing. He would be trained and dispatched by the Dingtian Pavilion. To be honest, the Dingtian Pavilion's business was many times bigger than the Chen family's. It would be great if he could be trained by them. The problem was that the Dingtian Contract had a duration of 30 years.
Even a warrior of the Real Martial Arts Realm would die of old age in less than 100 years. 30 years was a very long time.
However, if he could get the Nine Transformation Blood Rejuvenation Pill immediately after signing the Dingtian Contract, Chen Zong would not hesitate. However, according to Qian Huan, he still needed to be trained by the Dingtian Pavilion and complete assigned tasks. If he performed well enough, he could exchange for the Nine Transformation Blood Rejuvenation Pill within three years. It was even possible for him to exchange for the Seven Leaf Blood Lotus.
Chen Zong naturally would not agree to be restricted for 30 years and not be able to get the Nine Transformation Blood Rejuvenation Pill immediately. He also further understood the Dingtian Pavilion's concept of survival. They would not do business at a loss. Instead, they would try to squeeze as much profit as possible.
Stepping into the clan hall, Chen Zong returned to his room. He put away the bronze cauldron that he had bought with 1,000 White Jade Coins and the medicinal herbs that were worth 6,600 White Jade Coins.
"Chen Zong, the elite disciple challenge is ready. It will be held at 9 a.m. tomorrow. Please be there on time." Not long after Chen Zong returned to his room, someone came to inform him.
"I see." Chen Zong nodded.
After practicing the True Sword Heavenly Supreme Skill for a while, Chen Zong washed up and went to bed.
…
Before dawn, Chen Zong still got up. After washing up, he cultivated the True Sword Heavenly Supreme Skill for a while. After breakfast, he went to a corner of the training field to practice his sword.
When it was almost nine o 'clock, Chen Zong went to the location of the challenge. It was not far away. It was an arena between the Earth Court and the Heaven Court. Many disciples of the Clan Hall surrounded the arena.
"It's Chen Zong. He's here."
"Although this Chen Zong is listed as one of the Wind Martial Four Young Heroes, he has only cultivated for a short period of time. Isn't he overestimating himself by challenging an elite disciple?"
"I think so too. Moreover, he actually wants to challenge Chen He and Chen Xia one after another."
"Ignorant." Chen Zong glanced at the person who spoke and sneered.
More than a month ago, Chen Zong was able to kill an upper-grade Class 1 demonic beast, the Ironback Green Wolf. After surviving in Mount Fulong for more than a month, he was definitely stronger. A normal Qi and Blood Realm Level Six was definitely not his match.
Chen He and Chen Xia were indeed powerful, but their cultivation levels were only at the peak of Qi and Blood Realm Level Six. Chen Zong might be able to put up a fight.
"Chen Zong, your application to challenge Chen He and Chen Xia has been approved. Now, you can choose one of them to challenge," the deacon in the arena said, his voice suppressing the discussions.
Chen Xia looked at Chen Zong with a smile. On the other hand, Chen He's face was gloomy and there was a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"I'll challenge Chen He first." Chen Zong glanced over and smiled at Chen Xia before looking at Chen He.
"You're overestimating yourself." Chen He sneered, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes.
After being rejected by Chen Zong and losing face at the Rising Dragon League, Chen He harbored a grudge in his heart and sent people to find trouble with Chen Zong. In the end, he didn't succeed, so he had been suppressing this anger in his heart. When he heard that Chen Zong had died at the Hidden Dragon Mountain, he drank a lot of wine to celebrate.
"Challenging me is your biggest mistake." Chen He jumped into the arena with a sinister smile. This was a good opportunity to teach Chen Zong a lesson. It wouldn't be a big deal even if he used a little more force.
After putting on the gloves, Chen He spread out his arms like a white crane spreading its wings. He suddenly leaped into the air like a flying crane, making a sharp and resonant sound. He quickly dove down, waving his arms like a pair of wings, bringing up layers of illusions, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the illusions, all attacking Chen Zong.
Foundation Establishment Fist Technique — White Crane Fist.
This fist technique was not the Clan Hall's Fist Technique. Its power was extraordinary. After many years of cultivation, Chen He already had a trace of transcendence.
Sword light flashed, and the sharp cry of an eagle reverberated in the sky, piercing through gold and splitting rocks.
The Imperceptible Realm Eagle Strike Sword Technique was like an eagle circling in the sky, reaching out its sharp claws to grab Chen He.
Fight between the Eagle and the Crane!
All the moves were used, and there was no clear winner.
Chen He's talent was average, but he had been cultivating for a long time and had experienced many life and death battles. His battle experience was extraordinary, and his strength was not weak.
"Chen Zong can actually tie with Chen He?"
"Unbelievable."
Below the arena, everyone was exclaiming.
Hearing the crowd's exclamations, Chen He's face became more and more ugly. The second level of Fierce Tiger Technique was activated, and the power of Qi and blood was channeled. His strength increased sharply, and the power of his attacks became more tyrannical. Every attack had a force of two thousand pounds, and could easily crush large rocks.
True Sword Heaven Supreme Technique was activated, and Chen Zong's Qi and blood was channeled. Although his strength was inferior to Chen He's one thousand pounds, his sword technique was superior.
"Flying Crane Palm – Crane's Peck Triple Attack!"
The first level of Flying Crane Palm, a Low-Class Mortal Realm martial art, was the Crane's Peck Triple Attack. It had already reached the Small Completion Realm, and it was merciless. The extremely sharp sound was loud and clear, as if it was piercing through everyone's eardrums.
In a flash, Chen He's palm condensed into the shape of a white crane's beak, and quickly pecked three times, turning into three sharp awls and fiercely attacking Chen Zong. The power of each attack was more than two thousand pounds, and it was extremely terrifying.
The deacon's face changed. He could see that Chen He was merciless, and if Chen He was hit, he would definitely be seriously injured.
Chen Zong drew his sword, and eight dazzling sword light flashed, and in a flash, it became four, then two, and finally one. It was extremely bright, as if it was cutting through the air.
Under the sword light, the Crane's Peck Triple Attack was instantly shattered, and the dimmed sword light directly hit Chen He's body. Chen He was sent flying, and a wound ran from his left shoulder to his right waist. Blood spurted out.
"You … You are so vicious …" Under the ring, Chen He struggled to get up, his face pale and frightened. He pointed at Chen Zong and said harshly. He took out some medicine powder and sprinkled it on the wound to stop the bleeding, and hurriedly left.
Chen Zong just glanced at him indifferently, and did not pay him any attention.
He had already held back some of his power in that attack, so it was only a flesh wound. Otherwise, he would have killed Chen He with a single strike.
Everyone looked at Chen Zong with different gazes. There was admiration and fear.
"The next one is Chen Xia. Chen Zong, do you want to take a break?" The deacon asked, ignoring Chen Zong. After all, Chen He was merciless at the beginning, and the deacon could see that Chen Zong did hold back some of his power at the last moment.
"Junior Brother Chen Zong, if I'm not wrong, the Diffraction Swordplay you just displayed is the second level, Shadowless Diffraction, right?" Chen Xia opened his mouth and said with a smile, "Furthermore, it's the Shadowless Diffraction that has reached the Great Mastery Stage."
"Brother, you have a good eye," Chen Zong said with a smile.
"Although I know I'm not your match, I still hope to exchange some pointers with you. Let's use Foundation Establishment martial arts." Chen Xia smiled freely. He was stronger than Chen Zong, but not by much. He knew he was not Chen Zong's match, but he was itching for a fight.
"Please." Since it was a Foundation Establishment martial arts duel, it would not consume much of his Qi and blood.
Chen Xia practiced knife techniques, and his knife was a precious iron knife, shining brightly. Once he used the knife technique, it was endless. He was just a hair away from reaching the Realm of Intricacy.
Chen Zong used the Willow Swordsmanship to counter. He wanted to give Chen Xia some pointers and see if Chen Xia could seize the opportunity to reach the Realm of Intricacy.
Unfortunately, after the battle, Chen Xia's comprehension was limited, and he did not achieve a breakthrough.
"Thank you, brother. I admit defeat." Chen Xia withdrew his knife and retreated. He wanted to use the opportunity to achieve a breakthrough in his duel with Chen Zong. Unfortunately, he did not succeed.
"Chen Zong, you defeated Chen He and Chen Xia. You can choose a small courtyard. Which one do you want?" The deacon nodded. It was best for the disciples of the Clan Hall to compete with each other and be united.
"Courtyard Number One." Chen Zong did not hesitate.
"Chen Xia, go back and tidy up. Move out of Courtyard Number One," the deacon said to Chen Xia. Then, he looked at Chen Zong. "Chen Zong, you can also move in."
"Deacon, can I request to challenge Chen He?" Chen Xia asked with a smile.
"Uh …" Chen Zong was speechless. The deacon was also helpless. "I will inform Chen He to move out of the courtyard first. He will fight with you after he recovers."
"Thank you, deacon." Chen Xia smiled.
The disciples around the arena, regardless of whether they were from the Heavenly Court or the Earth Court, all looked at Chen Zong with admiration and respect.
They could not imagine that Chen Zong was so powerful. He was already the strongest person in the Clan Hall.
This was especially true for the disciples who had entered the clan hall with Chen Zong. They felt as if they were dreaming.
Chen Fenghua, Chen Guzhan, and the others smiled bitterly. Chen Yidao and Chen Yuyao were already numb. Chen Zhigang was completely dumbfounded. He did not dare to compete with Chen Zong, let alone teach Chen Zong a lesson.
"Brother, I will help you move your things," Chen Xia said with a smile.
"I will go too." Chen Zhong also came over.
Chen Zong did not have many things. He only had daily necessities such as bedding, a big bag of herbs, and a bronze cauldron.
"Brother, you got a cauldron. Do you want to refine medicine?" Chen Xia looked at Chen Zong with a strange expression.
"Just a little interest," Chen Zong said with a smile and did not say much. Chen Xia did not continue to ask.
The three of them each took some things, left the house, and went to the first courtyard in the Elite Area.
Stepping into the familiar courtyard again, Chen Zong was a little excited.
"Brother Chen Xia, where are the heavy metal balls and other things that were left in the small courtyard?" Chen Zong swept a glance and asked.
"Brother, do you know?" Chen Xia suddenly understood. "I forgot that you once came here to practice swordsmanship with the Yun Nation. It seems that your purpose of challenging me was not to be the first in the Clan Hall, but for this courtyard. I did not throw away those things. They are all stored in the storage room."
