(Thank you to the 'Lonely Observer' for your five thousand Traversal Coins tip. Thank you to all the seniors and juniors who tipped and voted. I had a small outburst yesterday and was planning to continue today. However, Dominator of Six Realms drank last night and got drunk. He has been lying like a corpse for almost a day and has a splitting headache. Also, the plot will enter the next climax tomorrow.
Break!
Break!
Break!
The sword aura was unparalleled, breaking through all forces in the world.
No matter how strong you are, how fast you are, or how hard you are to break through your defense, I'll slash through you with my sword.
The giant starlight hand was cut by the sword and immediately collapsed. The sword's power was endless, and it landed directly on the starlight giant's body.
The incomparably tyrannical starlight giant's body trembled, and a series of ripples spread out from the sword to the left and right. The ripples spread rapidly on the surface of the starlight giant's body, and converged at the position facing the sword, forming a sword mark.
There was a soft 'pop' sound, but it reverberated through the world in that instant.
Its body was torn apart and a large amount of starlight shot out from the sword scar on its back. Its five-meter-tall body trembled uncontrollably and shrank rapidly.
Not long after, all the starlight gushed out and the starlight giant dissipated, revealing Fang Xingchen's body. His face was pale and his eyes were filled with fatigue.
Displaying the Celestial Phenomenon and driving the starlight giant took a huge toll on Fang Xingchen's body.
Fang Xingchen had thought that this move would be enough to defeat Chen Zong. He had not expected that at the last moment, Chen Zong would achieve a breakthrough and become even stronger, thus defeating him in a single move.
In fact, although Chen Zong's last sword attack was very powerful, it was also because Fang Xingchen had been attacking continuously and had depleted too much of his energy. Otherwise, when the starlight giant had just condensed, Chen Zong's sword attack would not have been able to defeat him.
No matter what, a defeat was a defeat. There was no excuse for it.
Fang Xingchen looked at Chen Zong, his eyes filled with reluctance and admiration. Eventually, he said, "You've won."
There was dead silence. No one could say a word.
Subversion!
This was a complete subversion and an indescribable shock.
Fang Xingchen, who was recognized as the number one, had been defeated. The biggest winner had become Chen Zong.
Sect Grand Competition, first place among the core disciples.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Fang." Chen Zong cupped his fists.
If it was not for the fact that Fang Xingchen had performed the Celestial Heavenly Phase to condense the starlight giant, if it was not for the fact that Fang Xingchen had given him sufficient pressure, if it was not for the fact that Fang Xingchen's [Star Plucking Hand] basic technique had brought along a portion of the world's prowess, Fang Xingchen would not have been able to comprehend and break through his shackles, grasping the true prowess of the sword.
It could be said to be a coincidence, but it could also be said to be a matter of course. However, no matter what, it was all because of Fang Xingchen that he had been able to shorten the time required for him to comprehend the Sword Force.
"I hereby announce the end of the Sect Competition. The champion of the core disciples is Chen Zong." Elder Yuan De spoke. His tone was filled with the agitation in his heart, and his pitch had unknowingly increased by a lot.
The disciples of Green Feather Mountain were the first to burst into cheers of ecstasy. Waves of cheers swept out like a tide, causing the disciples of the other mountains to also burst into cheers. In the end, even the disciples of Mingguang Mountain were affected. Only a small number of core disciples had gloomy expressions.
"It's amazing." An esoteric disciple smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"It's amazing. Until now, I haven't even grasped half a step of Saber Force."
The esoteric disciples were all bitter. In terms of talent, they were not bad. In fact, they were even better than tens of thousands of cultivators. They were worthy of being called geniuses. However, compared to Fang Xingchen, there was still a gap. Compared to Chen Zong who had comprehended the Sword Force, the gap was even more obvious.
"From what I know, even he hasn't grasped the Heaven and Earth Force."
On the other side, the Green Feather Mountain's master was grinning from ear to ear. His smug look made the Mingguang Mountain's master want to punch his face flat.
"Mingguang, you should have handed over the Myrtle Gown, right?" The Green Feather Mountain's master laughed and suddenly looked toward the Mingguang Mountain's master.
"Green Feather, you're the one who lost, not me. Hand over the Mystic Tortoise Shield." The Mingguang Mountain's master suddenly smiled and said something that stunned everyone.
"Oh, then tell me. Why am I the one who lost?" The Green Feather Mountain's master was both angry and amused.
"Our bet was that Chen Zong would get second place. If Chen Zong got second place, it would be my loss. If Chen Zong didn't get second place, it would be my win." The Mingguang Mountain's master squinted his eyes slightly. A strange smile hung on his lips as he mocked, "Now, Chen Zong didn't get second place. I'm the one who won."
Hearing this, everyone revealed a strange expression. They didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
If they really wanted to argue about it, what the Mingguang Mountain's master said did make some sense. However, with their status, it was a little inappropriate for them to be so calculative about it.
However, since the Mingguang Mountain's master didn't mind, the others probably wouldn't say anything either.
"Mingguang, you're really thick-skinned." The Rainbow Mountain's master, who had a good relationship with the Green Feather Mountain's master, couldn't help but mock him. However, the Mingguang Mountain's master didn't seem to have heard him and didn't care at all.
"Green Feather, you don't want to admit it, right?" The Mingguang Mountain's master stared at the Green Feather Mountain's master and spoke again with a hint of mockery on his lips, "It's just a Mystic Tortoise Shield. It's nothing to me."
"Take it." The Green Feather Mountain's master was enraged. He immediately threw out the Mystic Tortoise Shield. It whistled through the air like a meteor and blasted toward the Mingguang Mountain's master.
It was impossible for him not to be enraged.
"Mingguang, you've changed my opinion of you." The Green Feather Mountain's master's anger came quickly, but it also calmed down quickly. He spoke calmly with a hint of contempt in his eyes, "Even if I lost this bet, I'm happy to lose. How can a mere second place be compared to the first place? I really can't understand. How can the Mingguang Mountain expel a genius like Chen Zong? I really don't know how high the threshold of the Mingguang Mountain's master is."
Hearing this, the corners of the Mingguang Mountain's master's eyes twitched. His face turned pale, and his eyes emitted a terrifying cold light. He stared at the Green Feather Mountain's master as if he wanted to tear him apart.
After seeing Chen Zong's ability, the regret in the Mingguang Mountain's master's heart was indescribable. If Chen Zong hadn't been expelled and was still the Mingguang Mountain's master's disciple, then the glory of Chen Zong winning the first place would belong to the Mingguang Mountain and not the Green Feather Mountain.
The reason why the Mingguang Mountain's master wanted to bicker with the Green Feather Mountain's master was not because he couldn't bear to part with the Myrtle Robe. It was just a low-grade spiritual weapon. With his strength and status, it was nothing. Even if it was a middle-grade spiritual weapon, it was nothing.
The problem was that he wanted to fight for his dignity and reputation. That was why he was so calculative.
However, he didn't expect the Green Feather Mountain's master to throw the Mystic Tortoise Shield at him and say something that made him very unhappy. It was like an invisible sword that ruthlessly stabbed into his heart. At that moment, the Mingguang Mountain's master felt that the Mystic Tortoise Shield was burning hot.
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, the Mingguang Mountain's master stood up and left without looking back. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared before everyone's eyes. He didn't have the face to continue staying here.
The Mingguang Mountain's master was the master of a mountain. In terms of status, he wasn't inferior to anyone else. In fact, he wasn't inferior to the Sect Master. He could leave, but the elders of the Mingguang Mountain couldn't. They felt extremely awkward, but they could only brace themselves and endure.
"Damned Green Feather, damned Chen Zong …" Along the way, the Mingguang Mountain's master shattered the Mystic Tortoise Shield and returned to the Mingguang Mountain with a heart full of anger.
After the Mingguang Mountain's master left, the others didn't say anything else. After all, they were all people of status. There was no need for them to gossip about others behind their backs.
"Alright, the Sect Grand Competition has ended. Next, it's time to give out the rewards to the top ten disciples." The Tai Yuan Heaven Sect's Sect Master had an indifferent expression as he spoke unhurriedly. At that moment, he didn't feel good at all.
This was because, in his opinion, and in the eyes of many, the first place belonged to Fang Xingchen.
Who would have thought that in the end, Fang Xingchen would still be defeated even after giving it his all?
However, he was still the Sect Master of a sect. He had to show some grace.
The first place of the core disciples, Chen Zong, received one million Sect merit points as well as ten bottles of Flood Dragon Bone Divine Origin Pills.
Unfortunately, although the Flood Dragon Bone Divine Origin Pills were good, they were of no use to Chen Zong. Therefore, Chen Zong directly exchanged them for Sect merit points. As a result, the Sect merit points increased by a whopping two hundred thousand, reaching a total of one million and two hundred thousand. Adding in the seventy thousand that Chen Zong still had left, he now had one million and two hundred thousand.
One million and two hundred thousand Sect merit points was undoubtedly a huge sum.
After the Sect Grand Competition ended, the crowd left the Minor Origin Realm one after another.
It couldn't be helped. It was simply too exciting.
Especially the battle between Chen Zong and Fang Xingchen at the end. It was brilliant beyond compare and left a lasting aftertaste.
The people of the Empyrean Martial Sect also left.
"Chen Zong, I will fight you again in the future." Standing on the enormous Empyrean Martial Flying Ship, the eldest core disciple, Bai Prism Jing, muttered to himself as he gazed in the direction of Dark Feather Mountain with his hands behind his back.
His original goal was to fight Fang Xingchen, who had inherited the Sect's fortune. After all, he had already defeated all the core disciples of the Empyrean Martial Sect and represented the Empyrean Martial Sect on the path of invincibility.
And the Empyrean Martial Sect was his first stop.
It was not out of his expectations that Fang Xingchen had such strength. However, Chen Zong was truly out of his expectations.
The momentum of the sword!
Bai Prism Jing knew that he would not be able to defeat Chen Zong, and might even be defeated by Chen Zong. The path of invincibility only allowed victory, not defeat. If he lost a match, he would truly be defeated, and his path to invincibility would be cut off.
Without confidence, Bai Prism Jing would not easily challenge Chen Zong. And the battle between Chen Zong and Fang Xingchen had also benefited Bai Prism Jing. He was prepared to go into seclusion for a period of time to further strengthen himself.
"Junior Brother, you are too amazing." Yu Zhengxiao was extremely excited, as if he was the one who had won first place.
His happiness was certain. Firstly, he was the one who had brought Chen Zong to Dark Feather Mountain, and he had even used his authority as a core disciple. This proved that his judgment was outstanding.
Secondly, his relationship with Chen Zong was very good.
Thirdly, Chen Zong and himself were both core disciples of Dark Feather Mountain.
Putting all these together, Chen Zong's victory over Fang Xingchen made Yu Zhengxiao feel proud.
Not only did Yu Zhengxiao feel this way, but all the disciples of Dark Feather Mountain also felt this way. This was because the one who had won first place was Chen Zong, and Chen Zong was a core disciple of Dark Feather Mountain, and the disciple of the Lord of Dark Feather Mountain.
This was a glory that belonged to Dark Feather Mountain, and also to every disciple of Dark Feather Mountain.
This night was destined to be a night of revelry, a night of sleepless nights.
