This battle had lasted for a very short time, even shorter than the battle between Chen Changsheng and Zhou Ziheng on the first day. Everything had happened too quickly, and the common people simply could not see it clearly. Chen Changsheng's sword had stopped in front of Mu Laoban's chest for an extremely brief moment, and they had no way of knowing that under Mu Laoban's clothes was the legendary Divine Armor of the Tier of Legendary Weapons. They only saw Chen Changsheng draw his sword, pierce through his opponent's chest, and send him flying out onto the street. As a result, they couldn't help but look down on Mu Laoban, thinking to themselves, even if your strength is inferior to Little Principal Chen's, you know how Little Principal Chen defeated Zhou Ziheng. Could it be that you haven't made any preparations? If you had made preparations and still lost in the same manner, then that would be even worse.
Of course, many people had noticed the strange phenomenon of Chen Changsheng's sword.
That sword was like a blazing sun, erupting with boundless light and heat, transforming the sea of flowers into a sea of fire. Just what sort of sword was this?
Mu Laoban was in great pain, very weak, very perplexed. He was also thinking about this question. Chen Changsheng was clearly only at the upper level of Ethereal Opening, so how could he have more true essence than many Star Condensation cultivators! And how could it pierce through the Six Protections Divine Armor! Just what sort of ghost sword was this?
The stewards and lords under the awning were also very shocked, thinking, just what is going on here?
A sigh rose up in the tea house, and then everything returned to normal.
In that black carriage at the end of the street, a brush was steadily and smoothly walking across a piece of paper, leaving behind words.
"Chen Changsheng has finally used the third sword."
"This sort of violent sword technique clearly consumes a lot of true essence, but it's different from the battle in Xunyang City recorded. Chen Changsheng can already use it more than once. It seems that after returning to the capital, he has clearly improved."
"Mu Sen was wearing the Six Protections Divine Armor, but he was still unable to block that sword. Besides Chen Changsheng's explosive increase in true essence, it should also have something to do with that dagger called the Stainless Sword."
The two officials of the Department for Purging Officials faithfully recorded everything they had seen today. Only then did they put down their brushes and rub their somewhat sore wrists. They silently looked at each other, both seeing the shock and confusion in each other's eyes. Even if the sword style that Su Li had taught Chen Changsheng could use a secret technique to ignite true essence and explode with energy countless times greater than normal for a short period of time, that was … the Six Protections Divine Armor! How could it be broken so easily?
"I hear that the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets has already sent someone to the capital to take a look at the Stainless Sword."
"Is the Tier of Legendary Weapons really going to change this year?"
"Last time, it was said that when the Stainless Sword appears, the Tier of Legendary Weapons will inevitably be updated. But after today's battle … I'm afraid that this sword will be ranked a little higher."
The Six Protections Divine Armor had always been a divine weapon on the Tier of Legendary Weapons. For the Stainless Sword to be able to so easily pierce through it meant that it was naturally ranked far above it.
The carriage was very quiet. An official suddenly thought of something, picked up the brush again and wrote on the paper, "Chen Chang Sheng still didn't kill anyone."
Yes, Mu Laoban was not dead.
The Stainless Sword pierced through his chest. Just like last time, it passed right through his heart.
Chen Chang Sheng's sword was so sharp that it made one's hair stand on end, and so accurate that it made one's hair stand on end.
Then how stable was his hand holding the sword?
…
…
Time passed extremely slowly. Finally, it was the middle of summer. In these ten days, the Tradition Academy had welcomed dozens of challenges. Until now, they had not lost a single one, shocking the entire capital.
Challengers below Star Condensation could not defeat Tang Thirty-Six, even though he had won a few matches by the skin of his teeth, and one time he had even suffered rather heavy injuries.
Challengers at the initial level of Star Condensation had all been defeated by Chen Chang Sheng. At this time, everyone had already confirmed that although Chen Chang Sheng had not yet succeeded in Star Condensation, he already had the level of an initial level Star Condensation expert. There were even people who had begun to imagine, if he were to fight with Qiu Shan Jun, who had just succeeded in the beginning of the year, just who would win and who would lose?
Up until now, no expert at the initial level of Star Condensation or above had challenged the Tradition Academy. This was because many experts at that level had become powerful figures of their own regions and were very difficult for the Tianhai clan to command. Even if there were, it was the relatively more important status of guest official. Since they were experts, they had to pay attention to their bearing and bearing. If they lowered their status to challenge Chen Chang Sheng, even if they won, it would still be an extremely shameful matter.
Crucially, no one knew if the matter reached this step, the Pope, who had always maintained his silence, would unleash a thunderous rage. Of course, even if an expert at the middle level of Star Condensation really did appear, Tang Thirty-Six had already made ample preparations. As the manager of the Tradition Academy's external affairs, he had long awaited the arrival of that day.
These days, the true surprise was Xuan Yuan Po.
Zhexiu was still resting in the library, recovering from his injuries, while Xuan Yuan Po's right arm had finally completely recovered. Under Chen Chang Sheng's guidance, he had begun to cultivate Heavenly Thunder Bringer. A violent True Essence had begun to freely and joyfully circulate through his meridians, which were as thick as official roads. His innate divine strength could finally be perfectly controlled, thus displaying a destructive power that caused people's hearts to palpitate and the trees of the Tradition Academy to lament.
Under a situation where he was certain of victory, Chen Chang Sheng had Xuan Yuan Po represent the Tradition Academy in four matches. According to the standards of human cultivators, Xuan Yuan Po, who wasn't even at the Ethereal Opening realm, actually didn't lose a single match. In the last match, he encountered an expert at the upper stage of Ethereal Opening and he actually won. Of course, at the last moment, he was forced to transform. He uprooted a willow tree in front of the Tradition Academy's entrance and violently smashed through half of the academy's wall in the Hundred Blossom Lane, knocking out that swordsman at the upper stage of Ethereal Opening.
Such violent strength, such violent tactics. As for the lightning shards that were hidden within the leaves of the willow tree, aside from Chen Chang Sheng, not many people noticed them.
Initially, the Elder of Tian Ji had placed Xuan Yuan Po at the end of the Proclamation of Azure Clouds, causing a lot of people to feel baffled. Now, no one thought that way anymore. Looking at the tree hole in front of the Tradition Academy's entrance and the obviously newly built academy wall, people could only think, if the Proclamation of Azure Clouds were to be updated, this bear tribe youth who often held a bowl of rice and giggled foolishly on the academy's stone steps, how high would he be placed?
Summer was the hottest time in the capital and also the most lively time. This year's summer in the capital was a bit hotter than previous years and also a bit more lively. This was because the entrance of the Tradition Academy was bustling with activity every day – famous people that were usually hard to see would appear one after another and even fight for you. Not only that, they didn't need money or tickets. How could the citizens of the capital, who loved to watch the fun, miss out on this kind of event? After the weather became hotter, Tang Thirty Six set the time for the duels to be in the morning. Therefore, every morning when the sky was just beginning to brighten, many citizens of the capital would rush over with flower rolls, buns and steamed buns. Many people even brought along their families, as if they were going for a walk. What was even more ridiculous was that when relatives and friends from other places came over, the citizens of the capital would specially bring them to the Hundred Blossom Lane to watch the fun. The Tradition Academy … was about to become the new Six Sights of the capital.
The Tradition Academy's undefeated streak of over ten matches obviously had more influence on the capital. For example, regarding the bet on the All-School Martial Exhibition, the four major markets no longer opened bets on the winners and losers. Instead, they began to make money in other areas. Every day, the bets opened were mostly about who would fight for the Tradition Academy? What sword style would they use? When would Xuan Yuan Po pull down a tree? How many love letters would Tang Thirty Six receive after winning today? And when would Chen Chang Sheng display that violent sword strike again?
One evening, it was extremely hot. Chen Chang Sheng and the other two swam a few times in the lake and then sat on the big banyan tree in a daze.
"I haven't seen Princess Luo Luo for a long time." Tang Thirty Six looked at the faraway setting sun and suddenly said.
Chen Chang Sheng also looked at the setting sun. It was as if he could see the corridors of the Hall of Pure Virtue in Li Palace. Hearing Tang Thirty Six's words, he was silent for a long time and then gave a sound of agreement.
Tang Thirty Six turned his head and looked at him, "Go find her tomorrow."
Chen Chang Sheng took back his gaze from afar and looked down at the last few rays of golden light on the surface of the lake. After a moment of silence, he said, "It might not be convenient for her."
Luo Luo was in Li Palace, in the Pope's Green Leaf World. It was not convenient for her to come out.
But in reality, he heard that she had appeared at the recent banquets in the royal palace.
Most importantly, he heard that starting last month, Luo Luo would alternately live in Li Palace and the royal palace.
Inconvenience was obviously due to other reasons.
Chen Chang Sheng understood, so he maintained his silence. In fact, this had been his request for her in the first place.
Last year, the Orthodox Academy had just become a new student. In the eyes of those important figures, Luo Luo entering the Orthodox Academy was just a child's play. Even the Grand Examination was like this, a small matter. But now it was different. The Pope and the Tianhai Divine Empress were gradually drifting apart. Luo Luo's identity was sensitive. If she still stayed in the Orthodox Academy or often returned to the Orthodox Academy, a small matter would become a big matter.
Luo Luo was in the capital of the Great Zhou. She didn't represent herself, but the eight hundred li of the Red River and the two Saints behind her.
"I don't care. I miss her."
Tang Thirty Six stood up and supported himself on the thick trunk of the great banyan tree. He looked at the distant Li Palace under the setting sun and said loudly.
Chen Chang Sheng glanced at him and was very grateful.
His identity was also very sensitive. There were many things that were not convenient to say. Tang Thirty Six said he missed Luo Luo because he knew that Chen Chang Sheng missed Luo Luo. Luo Luo also missed the great banyan tree.
"I also miss Princess Luo Luo." Xuan Yuan Po said from the side.
He really missed her. It had nothing to do with Chen Chang Sheng.
Tang Thirty Six patted his shoulder and said, "Then let's have dinner tomorrow. If it's convenient for her, let's take her back to the Orthodox Academy."
Xuan Yuan Po sat on the tree branch, but he was almost at the same height as Tang Thirty Six. This scene seemed somewhat harmonious.
"Then the two matches tomorrow morning should be finished quickly. Xuan Yuan, you don't have to fight. Tang Tang and I will fight." Chen Chang Sheng suddenly thought of a problem.
Tang Thirty Six also thought of a very important problem. He squatted down and looked into his eyes, "I have something to tell you."
Chen Chang Sheng saw his serious expression and asked uneasily, "What is it?"
Tang Thirty Six said, "Tomorrow is an instructor from the Heavenly Way Courtyard in the Jiang Nan State. His realm and strength are definitely not as good as yours, but … can you use a few more moves?"

(Recently, I've been saving up manuscripts. I really am saving up manuscripts … today I only updated one chapter. Right now I have seven thousand characters in stock. If it was before, I would have already published it all. But my goal is to save up to thirty thousand characters. In the future, I can guarantee that I can keep updating, especially when I have to drive more than two thousand kilometers at the end of the month.
Of course, this is my dream situation. Please let me dream for a while … …)
