C113 Zhuge Yuan

Hong Yun's eyes were filled with anger as he watched Fang Chen's leaving figure. Then, he turned his head and directly dove into the body tempering tower.

An hour later, Hong Yun came out of body tempering tower.

"Hmph, isn't it just the fourth layer?" Hong Yun coldly said. To him, entering the fourth floor of the body tempering tower was still very easy, but to enter the fifth floor was simply too difficult.

The disciples looked at Hong Yun and looked at each other.

After returning from the body tempering tower, Fang Chen was ready to cultivate. Suddenly, a shadow appeared beside him.

"Grand Elder."

Seeing that, Fang Chen anxiously cupped his hands and shouted.

The Great Elder of the Primary zone was extremely good to Fang Chen, so Fang Chen was also extremely respectful to the Great Elder.

"Fang Chen, this time, I came to find you because I have something to tell you." The Great Elder said.

"Please speak, Grand Elder." Fang Chen said.

The Great Clan Elder glanced at Fang Chen, and then said: "Fang Chen, in the future, you must pay attention to the Second and Third Elders."

Hearing the Great Clan Elder's words, Fang Chen raised his eyebrows and did not say anything.

"The Long Jun you killed has a great deal to do with them, they will definitely think of a way to take revenge on you. I can protect you for a while, but I can't protect you for a lifetime, so everything still needs your attention." The Great Elder said with a deep voice.

Hearing that, Fang Chen nodded his head in gratitude, and said: "Thank you for the Great Clan Elder's reminder."

"The reason I'm telling you this is to make you watch out for those two. Alright, I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first." With that, the Great Elder turned and left.

As he watched the Great Elder's departing figure, Fang Chen's eyes were gradually filled with ice. In his heart, he thought to himself, "If you all want to court death, then I don't mind causing you all to die a graveless death."

With that, Fang Chen turned and left.

Three days later, a figure suddenly came into Fang Chen's courtyard.

"Fang Chen." When the figure saw Fang Chen, he grinned and said.

Fang Chen stopped his cultivation and slowly opened his eyes, looking at the person who just arrived.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhuge Yuan." Zhuge Yuan said with a smile.

"Zhuge Yuan?" Fang Chen was slightly moved. He had obviously heard of Zhuge Yuan's name before.

In the Intermediate Area, although Zhuge Yuan was not as famous as the top ten disciples, his name resounded through the ears.

This was because Zhuge Yuan was ranked eleventh in the Intermediate Area and his strength was extremely powerful. His strength had already reached the late stage of the 6th level of Qi Transformation and it was unknown how many times stronger he was than Hong Yun.

Of course, some people believed that Zhuge Yuan already had the strength to enter the top ten. However, Zhuge Yuan didn't seem to care much about this ranking, so he didn't challenge the top ten.

Fang Chen could not understand why Zhuge Yuan would come to find him.

"I wonder why Senior Zhuge is looking for me?" Fang Chen asked.

"It's like this. I've accepted a quest and need at least five people to complete it. Thus, I've come to find you in hopes that you'll be able to complete this quest with me. Of course, the benefits cannot go without you." Zhuge Yuan said with a smile.

Fang Chen was startled, then immediately stood up and asked: "Senior Zhuge, within Intermediate Area, there are many that are stronger than me, why did you pick me?"

Hearing Fang Chen's rhetorical question, Zhuge Yuan grinned and said, "Fang Chen, I have been secretly observing you for a long time. Not only do you possess a level 4 talent in the way of the sword, you are also extremely powerful.

"Furthermore, if my guess is correct, then it's likely that Yuwen Batian was killed by you after not returning for such a long time, right?" Without waiting for Fang Chen to speak, Zhuge Yuan spoke again.

Fang Chen squinted his eyes and looked at Zhuge Yuan. He did not expect Zhuge Yuan to actually pay attention to him in secret.

"I really wanted to kill Yuwen Batian, but unfortunately, he escaped." Fang Chen spoke the truth.

The reason why he said that Fang Chen had killed Yuwen Batian was only Zhuge Yuan's guess. Now that he obtained confirmation from Fang Chen, although he did not kill Yuwen Batian, but was able to make him flee in a sorry state, it was enough to see just how strong Fang Chen was.

"Fang Chen, I need a disciple like you." Zhuge Yuan said.

Afterwards, Zhuge Yuan started to explain to Fang Chen the details of the mission.

After hearing it, Fang Chen finally understood that Zhuge Yuan's mission this time was to explore an ancient ruin, the ancient ruin was located in a secluded place in the Milky Way County.

Normally, if Mission Hall released this kind of quest, they would be accepted by the disciples immediately. Although the mission was only to explore the ancient ruins, but inside the ancient ruins, they would definitely be able to get some treasures.

All of the disciples wanted to enter the ancient ruins and obtain the ultimate treasure.

Zhuge Yuan had accepted this mission not long ago, but unfortunately, he didn't have a suitable candidate and didn't immediately go.

This time, Zhuge Yuan finally had a suitable candidate and that was Fang Chen. As long as he convinced Fang Chen, the five-man team would be full, and they could set off at that time.

Of course, the reason why Zhuge Yuan chose Fang Chen was because Fang Chen's strength was tyrannical, and also because Fang Chen's strength was inferior to his, making him the absolute core of the team.

"Fang Chen, in comparison to this ancient remains, we will definitely attract some disciples from the ten great sects, so we won't be able to easily explore it. With your cultivation, you definitely won't be noticed by the disciples of the ten great sects, and at that time, you can be used as a Elite Armament." Zhuge Yuan explained.

Fang Chen weighed the pros and cons before finally agreeing to Zhuge Yuan's request.

Firstly, it was because his cultivation had reached a bottleneck and he was temporarily unable to break through. Secondly, he might be able to find an opportunity in the ancient ruins.

Secondly, he was also interested in the ancient ruins.

It was often said that within ancient ruins, if one could obtain some fortuitous encounters, they might be able to soar into the heavens.

Although Fang Chen didn't have the extravagant dream of soaring to the skies, it was still possible for him to increase his strength.

"Alright, I promise you. When are we leaving?" Fang Chen asked.

"We'll gather at the plaza in three days and set off together." Zhuge Yuan said.

"What about the distribution of benefits after entering the ancient ruins?" Fang Chen asked.

Zhuge Yuan explained, "The five of us will split the rewards of this mission equally. As for the items we obtained after entering the ancient ruins, depending on our own abilities, how about it?"

Fang Chen grinned and nodded.

"Since that's the case, then prepare yourself. We'll set off on time three days later." After Zhuge Yuan finished, he turned around and left.

Fang Chen naturally did not care about the mission rewards. The mission rewards were simply a large amount of spirit stones.

To Fang Chen, spirit stones were nothing. Although the golden heart had absorbed one hundred million Middle grade spirit stone, Fang Chen still had one hundred million spirit stones.

Furthermore, he believed that the Tiantang Hall would definitely give him more spirit stones soon after. At that time, Fang Chen would definitely become a rich person.

In the remaining time, Fang Chen cultivated as he waited for the mission to start.

On the second day, after going through the tempering of the golden heart, Fang Chen felt that his body had become much stronger.

At this time, Fang Chen came to the body tempering tower, preparing to give it a try.

After Fang Chen entered the body tempering tower, he went on a rampage. After he entered the fourth floor, his speed finally slowed down.

"The pressure from the fourth level isn't too great either." Fang Chen grinned.

Although it had only been two days, his physical body had become much stronger. He could only enter the fourth layer, but this time, he wanted to break through to the fifth.

Crash …

After Fang Chen adapted to the gravity of the fourth floor, he immediately entered the fifth floor.

When Fang Chen entered the fifth floor, he immediately felt a strong force pressing down on his body from all directions.

"The pressure of the fifth stratum is tremendous." Fang Chen said in a low voice.

In a short moment, Fang Chen's forehead was filled with sweat as he panted heavily with the corner of his mouth.

After persisting in the fifth floor for an hour, Fang Chen felt that he had reached his limit, and left the body tempering tower.

At this time, the disciples outside of body tempering tower were all shocked. In these two days, Fang Chen's improvement was actually so fast.

"He's absolutely a monster. He's improved to such an extent in just two days?"

"That's right. Two days ago, he was only able to enter the fourth level, but now he's actually entered the fifth level."

"In addition, he lasted for an hour within the fifth stratum. What a monster."

"Monster, not only is your talent in the path of the sword terrifying, even the strength of your body is extremely terrifying."

Amidst the discussion of the disciples, Fang Chen quickly left the body tempering tower.

To Fang Chen, the body tempering tower was just a place to temper his flesh and blood, as for the ranking, he did not care at all.

When Hong Yun heard the news that Fang Chen had entered the fifth floor of body tempering tower, he too was stunned.

"Dammit, how could this brat's body be so strong?" Hong Yun's heart was filled with anger as he let out a deep roar.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Early in the morning today, Fang Chen had already arrived at the plaza.

However, when Fang Chen arrived at the plaza, he heard some noise.

"Zhuge Yuan, where are you going?" A sinister voice entered the ears of the crowd.

Fang Chen glanced over and saw five people standing on the plaza. One of them looked at Zhuge Yuan with a face full of ridicule.

"Hong Yun, you don't seem to care where I go, do you?" Zhuge Yuan said coldly.

"Hmph. Zhuge Yuan, even if you didn't say anything, I already knew that you were going to do that mission. But what I don't understand is why there are only four people here and you aren't willing to give me the fifth spot?" Hong Yun coldly asked.

"As long as you give me this fifth spot, I can reject the mission reward. I'll give all of it to you." Hong Yun said.

Hearing Hong Yun's words, Zhuge Yuan sneered and said, "I'm sorry. The team is already full. There are no more spots."

"Who's the last one?" Hong Yun asked.

"It's me." At this moment, Fang Chen came over to Zhuge Yuan's side and said indifferently.

"What?" Zhuge Yuan actually gave you the fifth spot? "
