With his strongest move broken, Yu Pengfei understood that he was no match for his opponent. Thinking back to what he had just said, Yu Pengfei felt a burning sensation on his face. He wished he could dig a hole and hide in it.
However, he didn't dig a hole. Instead, he left the Thousand Sword Arena unwillingly.
Chen Zong won, and he won very easily. It was unbelievable.
"Could it be that this person knows Yu Pengfei?"
"It's possible. Yu Pengfei lost on purpose after discussing with him."
Those who weren't knowledgeable were skeptical.
However, those with deeper attainments in the path of the sword were frowning deeply. It was because they couldn't tell if it was an act or if it was real. They couldn't see through it.
To Chen Zong, Yu Pengfei's attainment in the way of the sword was indeed good. He was very close to the level of a Sword Sovereign. However, Chen Zong was a Sword King. There was a huge gap between them.
It was very likely that Yu Pengfei would never reach the Sword King level in his lifetime.
After defeating Yu Pengfei, Chen Zong became the new Tower Master of the 77th Sword Pagoda and took back the thousand low-grade spiritual sources.
"May I ask what your title is?" The Sword Division member's attitude was obviously much better. He even used honorifics.
"Heart Intent Sword." Chen Zong's thoughts changed slightly. He was no longer in the Unhindered Sword Sect. Moreover, he had embarked on his own way of the sword, the Heart Intent Sword Dao. It couldn't be more appropriate to use Heart Intent Sword as his title.
"After becoming the Tower Master, you can't leave White Sword City. Otherwise, it will be regarded as giving up the position of Tower Master." The member said again. This was the rule.
Otherwise, if someone left White Sword City after becoming the Tower Master and didn't return for a period of time, it would cause others to be unable to challenge them. Naturally, they wouldn't be able to become the Tower Master and comprehend the sword insights in the Sword Pagoda.
"In addition, you can't destroy the sword insights in the Sword Pagoda."
"Lastly, if possible, please leave your sword insights in the Sword Pagoda."
There were three rules, and each of them was reasonable.
After all, the sword insights were treasures left by the ancestors. It was a kind of inheritance that couldn't be destroyed. After comprehending it, leaving behind one's own sword insights would make the inheritance last longer.
With the Tower Master Token in hand, Chen Zong headed to the 77th Sword Pagoda.
The entire Sword Pagoda was two hundred and twenty meters tall. It towered above the ground like a huge sword pointing straight at the sky.
There was a layer of invisible and colorless energy covering the sword tower. While it protected the sword tower, it also prevented people from entering the sword tower. Only those with the Tower Master's Token could enter and leave freely.
There were no other buildings within a thousand meters of the Sword Pagoda, but there were some restaurants a thousand meters away. Therefore, when Chen Zong walked towards the 77th Sword Pagoda, he attracted the attention of many people in the restaurant.
When they saw Chen Zong walk into the sword pagoda with ease, they were all startled. Only then did they realize that the 77th sword pagoda had a new master.
Stepping into the Sword Pagoda, Chen Zong started examining it carefully.
The sword pagoda had seven walls of the same height and height. They were about seventy feet tall. Some of the walls were engraved with words, while others were empty. Chen Zong glanced at them and found that the words were impressions of swordsmanship or the understanding and comprehension of swordsmanship.
In a short while, Chen Zong read all the sword insights on the first floor of the Sword Pagoda. These sword insights were undoubtedly treasures for beginners, but for Chen Zong, they were very simple. With just a glance, Chen Zong could understand all the mysteries. It was better than nothing.
There were no stairs in the Sword Pagoda, and there was no need for stairs because those who could enter the Sword Pagoda were all powerful people with high cultivation.
Without any pretense, Chen Zong rushed straight up and entered the second floor through the circular opening.
The seven walls on the second floor were also seven meters tall. Most of the walls were engraved with sword insights.
Chen Zong also read through all the Sword Insights in a short period of time. Compared to the first level, there wasn't much difference. This meant that the person who left behind the Sword Insights had similar attainments in the Dao of the Sword.
He entered the third floor, which was also the last floor.
On this floor, there were sword insights left behind by the first master of the Sword Pagoda. The sword insights left behind by a Sword Monarch were even more precious.
However, for Chen Zong, the sword insights left behind by a Sword Monarch were not too profound. After spending some time, Chen Zong completely comprehended the mysteries, which made his accumulation in swordsmanship more profound.
If it were someone else, such as Yu Pengfei, they might not be able to comprehend all the sword insights in the Sword Pagoda after spending several months. However, Chen Zong was different. He completely comprehended them in less than an hour.
Facing a blank wall, Chen Zong used his finger as a pen to draw on the wall.
When his finger fell on the wall, Chen Zong felt a hard resistance. Without enough strength, it was impossible to break through this resistance and leave a mark on the hard wall.
In other words, without enough strength, it was impossible to leave sword insights here.
However, for Chen Zong, it was not difficult at all. In the blink of an eye, Chen Zong had carved words on the wall. Each word revealed an awe-inspiring sharpness, like an unsheathed sword. It was a ghastly sight.
In the end, he left his title: Sword Intent.
Not long after, Chen Zong withdrew his finger. He glanced at the words he left and nodded to himself.
This was a sword insight. It was not Chen Zong's sword insight. It was Chen Zong's conclusion after comprehending all the sword insights in the Sword Pagoda. It was his own understanding.
If someone else were to become the Pagoda Master of this Sword Pagoda and comprehend these insights, Chen Zong's insights would be like a bright lamp guiding them, allowing them to better comprehend these insights.
…
"You want to challenge the 76th Sword Pagoda?" The members of the Sword Controlling Division were surprised. It had only been a day, but he wanted to continue the challenge.
Could it be that he had already comprehended all the sword insights in the 77th Sword Pagoda?
However, since Chen Zong had issued the challenge, and because he was the Pagoda Master, he did not need to pay any fees. The challenge was scheduled for the afternoon.
When the news spread, many people were surprised.
"Didn't he just succeed in the challenge yesterday and become the Pagoda Master of the 77th Sword Pagoda?"
"Now he wants to challenge the 76th Sword Pagoda? What's going on?"
"Could it be that he has comprehended all the sword insights in the 77th Sword Pagoda in just one night?"
"He wants to challenge me …" The current Pagoda Master of the 76th Sword Pagoda was Thousand Shadow Sword Zhao Yingyu. Although she was a woman, she had a bearing that did not belong to a man.
She had also heard that Yu Pengfei of the 77th Sword Pagoda had been easily defeated.
"Sword Intent Chen Zong …" Sword Saint Green Bamboo had also received the news. A glint flashed across his eyes. He planned to watch this battle because in the previous battle, Chen Zong's sword move had left Sword Saint Green Bamboo puzzled.
Basically, the Pagoda Masters of each Sword Pagoda would receive the news of every challenge. It was up to them whether they wanted to watch the battle or not.
Under normal circumstances, the Pagoda Masters with higher rankings would not be interested in the challenges of the Sword Pagoda Masters with lower rankings. For example, Sword Saint Green Bamboo would not be interested if he did not see the battle between Chen Zong and Yu Pengfei.
The challenges in the afternoon came as scheduled.
Thousand Shadow Sword arrived at the Thousand Sword Platform earlier than Chen Zong. Thousand Shadow Sword Zhao Yingyu, who was dressed in a tight black suit, looked slightly young, but her actual age was much older than her appearance. It was mainly because she had a fortuitous encounter in her early years, so it was harder for her to age.
The Thousand Sword Forbidden Primordial Array was activated again.
"I heard that you defeated Yu Pengfei with a single sword move yesterday. Let me see it for myself," Zhao Yingyu said with a heroic spirit.
Zhao Yingyu was very clear about Yu Pengfei's strength because Yu Pengfei had challenged her before. Although he lost, that battle was not easy.
She did not see the battle yesterday with her own eyes, so she was very confused.
"Please," Chen Zong said unhurriedly.
"Take this!" Thousand Shadow Sword Zhao Yingyu shouted in a low voice. Her voice suddenly became erratic as she unsheathed her sword. In an instant, hundreds of sword shadows poured down like a torrential rain.
Each sword shadow carried astonishing power and was not illusory.
The sword shadows were densely packed. It was as if there were a hundred swords stabbing at the same time, like a violent bombardment.
Chen Zong stared at the hundreds of sword shadows. At a glance, he completely saw through them. The hundreds of sword shadows were like nothing. Chen Zong directly saw through Zhao Yingyu, who was behind the sword shadows.
Immediately, the Heavenly Will Sword was unsheathed. Little by little, the hundreds of sword shadows paused. Then, like smoke blown by a strong wind, they suddenly dissipated.
Zhao Yingyu's face was horrified. She could not understand what was going on, but she did not sit still and wait for death. She attacked again. This time, she used all her strength. Thousands of sword shadows came out together and intertwined with each other. It was even more mysterious.
This move was Zhao Yingyu's ultimate move. It was called the Thousand Shadow Chaotic Slaughter. Even without the support of spiritual power, it was still very strong.
Yu Pengfei was also defeated by this sword.
Chen Zong was slightly surprised. It was indeed a very mysterious sword move. Its power was also very strong, making it difficult to dodge. It was as if no matter where one dodged, they would be hit. Moreover, each sword carried a powerful force.
If it were someone with similar strength as Zhao Yingyu, it would be very difficult to take this sword. However, Chen Zong's strength far exceeded Zhao Yingyu's. His attainments in the Way of the Sword were also much better than his opponent's.
Of course, on the Thousand-Sword Arena, spiritual power would be suppressed and could not be used. One could only use the Way of the Sword to determine the winner.
The Will Heavenly Sword trembled slightly, and the sound of the sword seemed to resound through the clouds. Then, the sword slashed out, and a faint golden sword light streaked across the sky. The sword shadows gradually dissipated like smoke blown by a strong wind.
This sword fell on Zhao Yingyu's neck. The cold sword edge made Zhao Yingyu tremble involuntarily. There was an indescribable horror.
Even her strongest ultimate move was easily broken by her opponent. This also showed that her opponent's attainments in the Way of the Sword were indeed much higher than hers.
"I lost." Zhao Yingyu generously admitted. "With your attainments in the Way of the Sword, you should be able to directly challenge a Sword Monarch."
Chen Zong only smiled slightly and did not answer.
