(Xiao Bai is asking for a beating. However, the Six Dao drank four cans of Heineken and four ounces of Baijiu last night and fainted.
The Scorpion-tailed Wolf was an upper-grade Class 1 beast that lived in packs. It had a barbed scorpion-like tail and was highly poisonous. If a Qi and Blood Realm Level 7 or Level 8 martial artist was surrounded, they could die if they were not careful.
Bai Yushan punished Chen Zong by giving him ten Scorpion-tailed Wolf tails, which meant that Chen Zong had to kill ten Scorpion-tailed Wolves. It was very dangerous.
Bai Yushan nodded secretly. Chen Zong was very cooperative, which surprised him. After thinking about it, he would not deliberately target him anymore.
"Senior Brother, since you're here, I'll ask you to be the judge." Chen Zong suddenly said. His clear eyes were like water as they fell on Bai Yulou's face. "I want to challenge Bai Yulou's ranking in the Boiling Blood Pool."
Bai Yushan was stunned and looked at Bai Yulou.
"My ranking in the Boiling Blood Pool is very high. It's no wonder you're interested." Bai Yulou smiled coldly, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes. "Fine, I'll give you this chance. Draw your sword."
"He actually wants to challenge the Third Young Master. He's overestimating himself."
"It's not the first time he's overestimated himself."
The people around them started to discuss.
"If that's the case, I'll be the judge. Remember, as a disciple of the Glorious Sword Clan, you can't go too far." Bai Yushan said casually.
Bai Yulou unsheathed his sword. The sword light was as cold as autumn water. It was a treasured iron sword, and it was the best kind. It was even better than Chen Zong's treasured iron sword.
With a shake of the long sword, the sword light shook and instantly turned into a dozen dots that shot out. The dots were like blooming stars, confusing the eyes and making it difficult to distinguish where the real sword was.
Bai Yulou's cultivation was at the peak of Qi and Blood Realm Level 6. The Foundation Building Sword Technique he practiced was the Bai Family's Little Star Sword Technique. The sword was like a flickering star, difficult to distinguish between real and fake. It was very penetrative.
Chen Zong unsheathed his sword and slashed out. It was as if a gust of wind had blown past. The dozens of starlight rays dissipated as the sword slashed towards Bai Yulou's throat. In the blink of an eye, the sword changed direction and pierced towards Bai Yulou's left chest.
Bai Yulou hurriedly swung his sword. The blade of the sword seemed to shatter, turning into even more starlight that revolved around his chest.
Unexpectedly, Chen Zong's wrist turned once more, and the stab to Bai Yulou's chest changed to a slash, cutting towards Bai Yulou's right chest.
In the blink of an eye, the sword in Chen Zong's hand changed three times in a row. Bai Yulou was caught off guard. The power of Qi and blood burst out, and his feet seemed to be stepping on a meteor. He stepped back quickly. It was the Star Chasing Step, a mid-level Human Realm martial art.
"I didn't expect you.." Bai Yulou's face was a bit pale. Bai Yan had taught Chen Zong a lesson that day, but Chen Zong appeared as soon as they started fighting. Therefore, Bai Yulou didn't know how strong Chen Zong was. Especially since Chen Zong was from the Wind Martial City, which was incomparable to the Ultimate Martial City. Bai Yulou looked down on Chen Zong, but he didn't expect Chen Zong to be able to force him back with just three sword changes.
"This kid's sword technique is very good." Bai Yushan raised his eyebrows and said secretly. He was very surprised.
Whether a sword practitioner's sword technique was good or not, the changes in the sword could be directly reflected.
Normal sword practitioners would only stab once, and it would be very difficult to change it halfway. After all, the speed of the stab was very fast and the time was very short. There was no time to change it.
Some of the more brilliant ones could change the direction of the sword midway after a single stab. Even more brilliant ones could change the direction of the sword midway after a single stab. Including the attack, one could change the direction of the sword three times. Chen Chu Yun and Bai Yushan were at this level.
In order to achieve this, one must first have an outstanding ability to use one's own strength, have a high degree of control over the sword in one's hand, and have a unique understanding of swordsmanship. All three were indispensable.
"Star Chasing Steps!"
"Starry Night!"
Bai Yulou took a step forward, rushing towards Chen Zong as if he was stepping on stars. With a wave of his hand, the iron sword in his hand turned into eighteen dots of starlight, piercing through the air like raindrops hitting banana leaves, shooting towards Chen Zong.
It was the first stage of the Mid Rank Mortal Realm Star Sword Technique.
Every star was a stab, and it was very powerful.
Chen Zong's heart skipped a beat. His eyes were cold and serious. His Qi and blood exploded, and in a second, he waved his sword. The sword seemed to disappear and turned into a cold star, like a lonely star.
"The Lonely Star!" Bai Yushan's face suddenly changed. The others didn't know what the Lonely Star Sword Technique was, so they didn't think much of it.
As soon as the Lonely Star appeared, the eighteen stars immediately dimmed. Eight of them were shattered, and the Lonely Star was also shattered.
Through the gap, the sword flew across the sky like a shooting star, and rushed towards Bai Yulou. The stars flew past him like they were passing through the starry sky. It was very dazzling.
The stab changed again.
One change, two changes, three changes!
"One Sword Four Changes!" Bai Yulou's face looked even worse.
Before Bai Yulou could dodge, he felt a chill on his neck, and his whole body was numb.
"Admit defeat." Chen Zong said calmly. Bai Yulou's face turned red and white, and he was ashamed.
"Chen Zong, put down your sword." Bai Yushan came back to his senses and said coldly.
"Senior brother, he hasn't admitted defeat yet." Chen Zong said lightly.
"I … admit defeat …" Veins bulged on Bai Yulou's forehead as he said with difficulty. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, this feeling was very uncomfortable.
"In that case, take out the ranking wooden token of the Boiling Blood Pool." Chen Zong said, "I believe you have it with you."
"Take it." Bai Yulou took out the wooden token and threw it to Chen Zong. Chen Zong caught it and quickly glanced at it. The number 15 was written on it, which meant that it was the nineteenth batch. Ten batches had passed, which meant that in five days, Bai Yulou would be able to enter the Boiling Blood Pool, but now he was replaced by Chen Zong.
"This is yours." Chen Zong took out his ranking wooden token and threw it to Bai Yulou. When Bai Yulou saw the number 130, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Being able to get the ranking wooden token of the fifteenth batch had something to do with his various efforts, and Bai Yushan's name also played a role. He didn't expect that in the end, he would work for someone else, especially someone who didn't get along with him. This feeling was indescribably uncomfortable.
Bai Yushan's face was gloomy.
He could see that Chen Zong knew the relationship between him and Bai Yulou. Challenging Bai Yulou was tantamount to a counterattack for the punishment he gave him. He couldn't help but be furious.
At the same time, Chen Zong actually managed to cultivate the first level of the Lonestar Sword Art to the entry level. Calculating the time, it had only been ten days. One must know that in the past, he had also tried to cultivate the Lonestar Sword Art, but he didn't manage to reach the entry level after a month. He didn't expect that there would actually be someone who could cultivate it to the entry level in just ten days. This caused him to feel extremely unhappy.
In addition, Chen Zong could change four times with one sword, which proved that his swordsmanship was better than his own.
No matter what, Chen Zong was an eyesore to Bai Yushan. These three points added together made him even more unpleasant.
"Chen Zong, your strength is very good, but you abstained from the battle that day. You really shouldn't have done so. Your punishment is too light." Bai Yushan's expression was cold, and his tone was chilly. "Other than the ten scorpion tails of the Scorpion-tailed Wolves, you also have to retrieve a Blood Essence Fruit. Do you accept this punishment?"
As he spoke, the powerful Vitality of the ninth level of the Qi and Blood realm seemed to be about to explode. It turned into a shocking aura that was as sharp as a sword and rushed toward Chen Zong. Chen Zong's body trembled, his skin went numb, and his hair stood on end. He felt an extremely strong sense of danger.
"I accept." Chen Zong's expression changed slightly and returned to normal. However, he didn't refute and didn't give Bai Yushan any other chances.
Bai Yushan took a deep breath. He really hoped that Chen Zong would accept the punishment and act unruly, or even directly confront him. Only then would he have a legitimate reason to attack and teach the other party a lesson.
Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance. This made Bai Yushan think even more highly of Chen Zong.
"Eldest Senior Brother, if there's nothing else, I'm going to hunt the Scorpion-tailed Wolves," Chen Zong said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"Go ahead." Bai Yushan nodded. Since Chen Zong didn't blatantly contradict him and was very cooperative, he had to show the demeanor of an Eldest Senior Brother.
…
"Chen Zong, I'll go with you," Li Zhenshi said.
Hunting the Scorpion-tailed Wolves was extremely dangerous and difficult. It was even more difficult to harvest the Blood Essence Fruit.
"This is to punish me, not you," Chen Zong said with a smile.
Chen Zong declined Li Zhenshi's kind offer and went to look up information.
The Blood Essence Fruit was a grade seven herb. It had very high requirements for its growing environment. It needed to be irrigated with the blood of monsters to grow, bloom, and bear fruit. Every ripe Blood Essence Fruit contained strong and pure Vitality energy. When consumed and refined, it could significantly improve one's Vitality cultivation. It had a significant effect even on martial artists at the seventh level of the Qi and Blood realm.
If it was combined with other herbs and refined into pills, it would have a significant effect on martial artists at the eighth or ninth level of the Qi and Blood realm.
"Little Brother, it's good that you didn't contradict Bai Yushan in public." Chen Chuyun came looking for him after hearing the news.
"My current strength is not as good as his." Chen Zong said. It was a simple principle. In terms of cultivation and strength, he was not as good as Bai Yushan. In terms of status in the Glorious Sword Clan, he was also not as good as Bai Yushan.
"A good sword needs to be tough and resilient. You can't lack either." Chen Chuyun said seriously, "Everyone thinks that a swordsman must rather break than submit. That is the most basic knowledge. A swordsman must have courage and a heart full of sharpness, but he must also know how to gain momentum and seek the straight in the crook. A moment of submission is for a better rebound."
As he spoke, Chen Chuyun unsheathed his sword and shook it. The sword bent and then suddenly straightened. The sword light was like water, emitting a shocking momentum. It was as if it could shatter a mountain rock. Taking advantage of the momentum, the sword stabbed out faster, fiercer, and more tyrannical.
Chen Zong was instantly taken aback. What he was doing was just a feeling, an intuition. It was not as clear as what Sister Yun was doing. Instantly, the countless scattered insights within his mind seemed to have found a breakthrough point. They converged together, becoming clearer and clearer. He felt an indescribably profound feeling towards swordsmanship.
"Do you want me to go with you?" Chen Chuyun asked as he sheathed his sword.
"Sister, I can go by myself." Chen Zong said. He was not a child who had not grown up yet.
"Be careful. Advance when necessary and retreat when necessary. Do not hesitate." Chen Chuyun nodded.
After bidding farewell to Chen Chuyun, Chen Zong took the dry rations and left the courtyard immediately. He walked towards Dragon Horn Peak. Whether it was the Scorpion-tailed Wolf or the Blood Essence Fruit, they could all be found on Dragon Horn Peak.
