The Tianguang Secret Realm could be considered one of the more famous secret realms in the Divine Wind Sword Mansion. Within the secret realms, there were countless treasures.
Of course, opportunities were accompanied by risks. In the secret realms, there were many dangers. The slightest mistake could lead to death.
There were still three months until the opening of Tianguang Secret Realm. Fang Chen decided to try his best to reach the qi transformation realm in these three months. In this way, he could leave the Tianguang Secret Realm unscathed if he met with any danger.
After Yang Hong left, Fang Chen rested. After all, in the Divine Wind Mountain Range, he had almost died at Yao Yun's hands.
Early morning on the second day, Fang Chen once again came to the front of the Sword Arts Palace.
Last time, on the first level of the Sword Palace, Fang Chen had been forced out of the Sword Palace during the sixty-four phantoms. This time, Fang Chen's mercury sword technique had reached the metaplasia, so he was confident that he could go even further.
After paying a thousand Middle grade spirit stone s, Fang Chen entered the first floor of the Sword Arts Palace.
Just like before, phantoms appeared one after another.
When the mercury sword technique reached the metaplasia, its power was unimaginable.
Not long later, the number of shadows had increased to 64, stopping here the last time. This time, Fang Chen was very confident.
Hiss …
Abruptly, the sword of light in Fang Chen's hands swung out, and the mercury sword technique was immediately unleashed.
The power of the mercury sword technique of the metaplasia was several times stronger than when it was at the Advanced Realm. Therefore, when Fang Chen unleashed it, the afterimages would scatter wherever the sword light passed.
Whoosh …
Fang Chen also did not know how many times he had used the mercury sword technique, but in short, after fifteen minutes, the last afterimage was destroyed by him.
After defeating the shadow, the Sword Arts Palace gave Fang Chen some time to rest. After all, he had used up a lot of energy to defeat the shadow.
"The next stage will be the one hundred and twenty-eight shadows." Fang Chen slightly said.
After resting for about three minutes, the entire space suddenly became heavy, following that, Fang Chen felt a sense of danger.
Puff …
Suddenly, a hundred and twenty-eight illusions appeared around Fang Chen, and he abruptly used his mercury sword technique to block them.
Puff …
A sword light flashed, and the illusory image continued to dissipate.
However, over time, Fang Chen discovered a weakness of the illusions, that their movement speed was slower.
Fang Chen used his speed to continuously unleash mercury sword technique. However, after killing eighty illusions, the mercury sword technique could no longer block the illusionary attacks.
"splitting sword technique."
Fang Chen fiercely unleashed the splitting sword technique, causing a streak of sword light to turn into eighteen rays that carried an incomparably tyrannical sword aura that suddenly spread out in all directions.
When the splitting sword technique was unleashed, the illusionary image that was close to Fang Chen was immediately dissipated.
"Sword Force …"
When the splitting sword technique was unleashed, Fang Chen did not hesitate to unleash it with sword force. The moment the incomparably strong sword force appeared, it immediately caused the surrounding afterimages to feel a trace of danger.
Puff …
The power of the sword combined with the splitting sword technique was too tyrannical, directly causing the surrounding illusions to constantly dissipate.
Whoosh …
Under the encirclement of the sword energy, about an hour later, all one hundred and twenty-eight afterimages were finally destroyed by Fang Chen.
After defeating the illusions, Fang Chen's expression changed slightly, and his body became much weaker.
"It seems I've already reached my limit." Fang Chen thought.
In the history of the Divine Wind Sword Mansion, in the first level of the Sword Palace, someone had once defeated two hundred and fifty-six phantoms.
And the current Fang Chen, was only a step away from reaching the two hundred and fifty-six phantoms.
In the Sword Palace, the further one walked, the deeper one's insights in the Dao of the Sword would be. Furthermore, one would also be extremely proficient in the mastery of sword arts.
If not for the fact that his mercury sword technique had reached metaplasia, coupled with the power of his sword, Fang Chen would not have been able to reach this step.
However, during his battle with the shadow, Fang Chen could also feel that his sword technique was improving.
splitting sword technique's first level had already reached the Perfection Stage.
With the help of the golden heart, he also instantly mastered the second level.
"With the second stage of splitting sword technique, my strength has become even more tyrannical." Fang Chen slightly said.
After resting for a while, a strong pressure appeared again, immediately following that, Fang Chen discovered that two hundred and fifty-six phantoms had appeared in his surroundings.
"So many phantoms."
The moment Fang Chen finished his words, the second level of splitting sword technique was instantly unleashed, and directly smashed towards the afterimage.
Bang Bang Bang...
The number of illusions was simply too large, Fang Chen was unable to defeat them in a short while either.
As time passed, some injuries appeared on Fang Chen's body, and he looked to be battered and exhausted.
"Bang …"
After about fifteen minutes, Fang Chen was finally forced out of the Sword Palace.
"I still can't succeed."
Fang Chen laughed bitterly and left the Sword Palace in a sorry state.
When the disciples outside the Sword Arts Palace saw Fang Chen coming out, their faces filled with ridicule.
"Isn't this Fang Chen? To be able to injure himself to such an extent in the Sword Palace, what an eccentric person. "
"Hahaha, I'm guessing that in the Sword Palace, he would at most be able to defeat thirty-two phantoms."
"That's right. Wanting to challenge the Sword Palace with just a Qi Refinement Realm disciple is truly laughable."
"Sometimes, one's talent doesn't mean one's strength. There are countless martial artists that have died half-way through."
Many disciples ridiculed Fang Chen, but he did not pay any attention to them.
Just as Fang Chen was about to turn around and leave, a voice made him stop.
"Hmph. I'm sure his parents are trash as well. Otherwise, how could they have a son like him?"
Hearing this voice, Fang Chen's footsteps stopped, and he immediately turned to look at the man who spoke.
"Say what you just said again?" Fang Chen said calmly.
"I said your parents are trash too." The disciple said with a sneer.
This disciple was called Zhou Yu, an older student within the Junior Disciple. His strength had reached 1st level of Qi Condensation in one breath, and he looked down on a new student like Fang Chen.
Puff …
The surrounding disciples did not even have the chance to see Fang Chen's attack clearly, only a miserable scream, and when everyone looked over in shock, they were shocked to see that one of Zhou Yu's arms had already been cut off by Fang Chen.
"Ah …"
Zhou Yu looked at his arm, his heart filled with anger.
"This is just a lesson."
After Fang Chen finished speaking, he turned around and left.
A loud noise came from the surrounding crowd. They didn't understand, 'When did Fang Chen become so powerful?'
"You bastard, I won't let you off." Zhou Yu scolded.
Of course, even though Zhou Yu was swearing loudly, his heart was filled with fear. How could a freshman be strong to this extent?
In a courtyard within the Primary zone, an armless Zhou Yu stood still with a face full of anger. On the other hand, a diabolical man sat beside him.
"Brother Long, you have to avenge me." Zhou Yu said.
"He's really a piece of trash. His arm was cut off by a disciple of the Qi Refinement Realm, how can he still have the face to say that?" Long Jun said coldly.
"Brother Long, this kid is a little strange. Before he entered the Divine Wind Sword Mansion, his talent in the way of the sword had already reached terrifying level 4." Zhou Yu said.
Hearing about the level four talent in the way of the sword, Long Jun's expression changed slightly. He immediately nodded and said: "I understand. You can leave now."
"Thank you, Brother Long." Zhou Yu said.
Just on the second day, a piece of news came out from the Junior Disciple area. Han Shan, who was ranked twenty in the Junior Disciple, was going to fight Fang Chen to the death.
The moment this news had spread, countless disciples had speculated that this must be Zhou Yu's revenge.
When Fang Chen received the news, he was also startled, but his face immediately darkened, did he really think that he was someone easy to bully?
On top of the life and death arena, Fang Chen and Han Shan looked at each other. Below the life and death arena, there were many disciples.
In a life and death battle, there was usually a knot between the two sides that could not be broken.
"Brat, you even dare to touch Brother Long's underlings. You must have some guts!" Han Shan laughed with disdain.
"Foolish fellow." Fang Chen said in disdain.
Han Shan was ranked 20th in the Junior Disciple, and his cultivation had reached the Second Stage of Qi Transformation, but the current Fang Chen, was not afraid in the slightest.
"You said I'm stupid? Haha, I will let you know who exactly is the fool.
The moment Han Shan's words fell, the longsword in his hand suddenly thrust toward Fang Chen.
Fang Chen's expression was indifferent, the sword of light in his hand immediately displayed the mercury sword technique. In the sky, the ripples of water turned into a mercury sword light, flashing towards Han Shan.
Just as Fang Chen was about to use the mercury sword aura, the expression of the elder who was suddenly in charge of the life-and-death duel changed slightly.
"How is this possible? Among all the new students, there is actually someone who can bring the sword technique to the level of metaplasia? "
In the heart of this elder, he was extremely shocked.
How difficult was it to make a sword technique reach the metaplasia? This little fellow with Qi Refinement Realm actually reached it.
However, when Fang Chen unleashed his sword force, the elder was even more shocked.
Possessing sword force, profound strength in sword arts, and a level four talent in sword arts, how heaven-defying would it be for all of these people to be gathered together?
Above the current life and death arena, the sword of light in Fang Chen's hands was displaying an absolutely stunning mercury sword technique, with sword energy revolving around it.
Bang
With a loud noise, Han Shan's attack collided with Fang Chen's sword light and exploded.
The first time they collided, Han Shan was at a disadvantage.
"How is this possible?"
Seeing that his attack was defeated, Han Shan cried out involuntarily.
In that moment, Han Shan realized that he had been scammed. He was such a monstrous genius, yet they called him trash.
"Damnit …" In his heart, Han Shan was gloomy, but at the moment, he had to grit his teeth and fight.
In a life-and-death duel, it was either you or me.
