As his soul strengthened, his soul force also increased by a large amount. This was the first time Fang Chen had felt the profoundness of his soul.
In the next few days, Fang Chen kept studying his soul. Other than the introduction of the soul in the secret soul technique, the only thing that remained was a large amount of information that he had inherited from his soul.
Just like this, Fang Chen fell into a crazed state of research.
One day, Fang Chen was finally alarmed. He woke up from his crazy research because someone wanted to challenge him.
After Fang Chen received this news, he was also a little stunned. His strength had reached such a tyrannical level, there was actually someone in the younger generation of Divine Wind Nation that dared to challenge him?
"Are you sure it's someone from the younger generation?" Fang Chen asked again.
"Senior-apprentice Brother Fang, this warrior is right on the plaza. You will know once you go there." An ordinary disciple said lightly.
Fang Chen nodded and headed towards the plaza.
Currently, a white clothed man was on the plaza, his face burning with passion. The reason he had come to the Divine Wind Sword Mansion this time, was precisely to challenge Fang Chen.
"Where's Fang Chen? "Let him out, I want to challenge him." The white clothed man said loudly.
On the plaza, other than the Divine Wind Sword Mansion's few elders, there were also the four great heavenly kings. When they saw who had arrived, their faces were filled with astonishment.
Zhang Kuang was the strongest practitioner in the last Qi Ranking. Because his cultivation had broken through to the Qi Hai realm, he withdrew himself from the Qi Ranking.
When he was previously first in Qi Ranking, he had arrogantly killed a practitioner of Second level of the Qi Hai realm. It was enough to see just how heaven defying his strength was.
Currently, Zhang Kuang had long since advanced to the Qi Hai realm. Although his cultivation was only 1st level of the Qi Hai realm, no one dared to doubt his strength.
"Zhang Kuang, you have already reached the Qi Hai realm, challenging the Junior-apprentice Brother Fang, is this just bullying?" Po Xin said helplessly.
"That's right, that's not fair. Your cultivation has already crushed Junior-apprentice Brother Fang." Zhu Tian said.
"Zhang Kuang, even if you win, what's the point of such a match?" Yun Jiu said.
"Don't worry, I won't bully the weak. Bring Fang Chen out, I will suppress my cultivation to the Ninth level of Qi Transformation and fight him." Zhang Kuang said.
Zhang Kuang was extremely obsessed with the martial way. When he heard that Fang Chen had defeated Gu Du and Feng Yun alone and even killed them, he became extremely interested in Fang Chen.
Therefore, the reason why he had come thousands of miles to find Fang Chen was to have a good battle.
"It's been a long time since I've met such a powerful opponent. I want to fight to my heart's content." Zhang Kuang said.
Just as Zhang Kuang was talking, Fang Chen arrived.
"Fang Chen." Seeing that, Po Xin and the rest shouted out.
After Fang Chen greeted everyone, he looked towards Zhang Kuang and recognized him.
"You want to challenge me?" Fang Chen asked.
"You are Fang Chen?" Zhang Kuang said.
"That's right, I am Fang Chen."
"I have already heard about your achievements. I will suppress my cultivation in Ninth level of Qi Transformation and fight with you. I hope that you can bring out your true strength." Zhang Kuang said.
Fang Chen squinted his eyes, looked at Zhang Kuang and finally nodded his head and agreed.
This was because he could see the madness in Zhang Kuang's eyes. He was obsessed with the path of martial dao.
"Good, great." Fang Chen accepted the challenge, Zhang Kuang was very happy.
"Fang Chen, you must be careful." The few elders did not stop his, since Zhang Kuang said that he was suppressing his cultivation to the Ninth level of Qi Transformation, then it was likely that Fang Chen would not be in any danger.
Moreover, the few old fellows were still watching them from the side. If anything went wrong, they would immediately act, and wouldn't let Fang Chen be injured no matter what.
While they were talking, Fang Chen and Zhang Kuang stood together at the center of the plaza.
The two of them emitted a tyrannical aura as they looked at each other. In a battle between two experts, they would not easily make a move.
"Do you think Fang Chen will win?" Po Xin asked.
"I think it's a little suspenseful. Although Zhang Kuang suppressed his cultivation level to the Ninth level of Qi Transformation, his battle awareness and techniques are much stronger than Fang Chen."
"Although Fang Chen won't win, he won't lose too miserably either." Zhu Tian said.
"Now we just want to see how many moves Fang Chen can endure in this insolent hands." Yun Jiu said.
Amongst the Four Great Heavenly Kings, the three of them were not optimistic about Fang Chen, because Zhang Kuang had long since levelled up to Qi Hai realm and although his cultivation was suppressed to the same realm as Fang Chen, he still could not suppress his battle awareness.
However, out of the Four Heavenly Kings, the only woman, Xing Yue, said with certainty, "I believe Fang Chen will win."
Just as the four of them were talking, Fang Chen and Zhang Kuang were already fighting.
It had to be said that Zhang Kuang's strength was extremely tyrannical. Although his cultivation was suppressing, his battle awareness was something that ordinary people couldn't compare with.
"Water-Fire Sword Art."
Fang Chen immediately activated Water-Fire Sword Art level 2 because he felt a threat from Zhang Kuang's body.
Crash …
The Hidden Dragon Sword turned, and the second level of Water-Fire Sword Art was instantly unleashed, as two Sword-light of fire and water s directly smashed towards Zhang Kuang.
"What an exquisite sword technique."
Seeing that, Zhang Kuang kicked off the tip of his feet, his body flashed, his fists clenched tightly, a wild Qi directly drilled into his fist, and then he punched towards the two Sword-light of fire and water s.
Rumble …
The Sword-light of fire and water and Zhang Kuang's fist light clashed, producing a deafening sound.
In that moment, Zhang Kuang and Fang Chen both retreated a few steps back.
After Zhang Kuang stabilized his body, his eyes revealed a trace of surprise. After which, he gently shook his head with a bitter smile on his face.
Crash …
Zhang Kuang's aura instantly dissipated, and he raised his head to look at Fang Chen, and said: "Fang Chen, your strength is very strong, if you continue to fight, I will definitely lose."
"On the other hand, if I were on the same level as you, I would have already lost." Zhang Kuang cupped his hands at Fang Chen.
Experts appreciated each other.
Hearing that, Fang Chen said: "You said it yourself, you are suppressing your cultivation. If it was on the battlefield, you would have definitely killed me instantly."
Hearing Fang Chen's words, Zhang Kuang laughed out loud. He liked Fang Chen's personality very much.
"I hope that one day, the two of us will be able to fight to our heart's content at the same level." After Zhang Kuang finished, he glanced at Fang Chen thoughtfully for a moment, then turned around and left.
Fang Chen watched Zhang Kuang's disappearing figure, and said to himself in his heart: "There will be a day like this."
The battle had begun quickly and ended quickly. When Zhang Kuang disappeared, Po Xin and the other two were completely stunned.
"What's going on?" Yun Jiu asked.
"So what you mean is that, he suppressed his cultivation, so he can't win against Fang Chen?" Zhu Tian said in shock.
"Fang Chen is much stronger than what we had imagined." After a long while, Po Xin said in a low voice.
Only Xingyue, from start to finish, had her eyes on Fang Chen. She believed that Fang Chen would be able to win against the insolence of the same realm, and as expected, the results did not disappoint her.
Although the two of them had only fought once, it was enough to prove that Zhang Kuang himself had admitted that he was inferior to Fang Chen in the same realm.
Upon seeing this, the few elders nodded their heads in elation.
The news of Fang Chen's battle with Zhang Kuang was something only a few people knew, while the others did not, and Fang Chen was not willing to speak of it.
After Zhang Kuang left, Fang Chen gained some insights and returned to his own residence.
However, on the day after Zhang Kuang left, Fang Chen received news from the Imperial City.
Mo Yun had sent the younger generation's disciples to the Divine Wind Nation, hoping to exchange some pointers with the elites of the younger generation of the Divine Wind Nation.
This was news from the First Prince, of course Fang Chen would not think of it as such easily.
"There must be something fishy about this." Fang Chen said.
The moment the First Prince ascended the throne, the entire Divine Wind Nation was in turmoil. As a neighbouring country of the Divine Wind Nation, it must have heard of something and sent out disciples of the younger generation to communicate with them.
At the moment, Fang Chen was the strongest warrior among the young generation of the Divine Wind Nation.
After Fang Chen received the news, he left the Divine Wind Sword Mansion and quickly headed towards the imperial capital.
In the imperial city, in a garden, there was a temporary martial arts stage. Surrounding the martial arts stage were countless seats. On the seats, there were many martial artists.
A prince of Moyun Country had already been in Divine Wind Nation for three days, bringing a martial artist of the younger generation with him.
In these three days, most of the disciples from the younger generation of the Divine Wind Nation had lost to the disciples of the younger generation of the Black Cloud Country.
Initially, the First Prince thought that even without Fang Chen's help, they would be able to take care of the younger generation in Moyun Country.
However, the outcome was outside of the First Prince's expectations. Mo Yun had clearly come prepared this time, and their young generation's strength was extremely tyrannical. Yu Hen had only lasted ten moves on the stage before she was defeated by her opponent.
After Yu Hen lost, the other Qi Ranking Warriors were defeated one after another.
For the past two days, almost all the experts of the younger generation in the Divine Wind Nation's Qi Ranking had lost to the Black Cloud Country, which made the First Prince feel extremely awkward.
The prince of Mo Yun had a mocking expression on his face. He sat on his seat and watched the battle on the stage as he coldly said, "The majestic Divine Wind Nation is actually so weak. It seems that our Mo Yun Country will be disappointed in this exchange."
Hearing Prince Mo Yun's sarcasm, the First Prince frowned slightly and said, "Prince, don't worry. Our Divine Wind Nation has another outstanding member of the younger generation. On the way, he will definitely give us a pleasant surprise."
The First Prince was naturally referring to Fang Chen. The news had already reached the Divine Wind Sword Mansion two days ago, and after calculating the time, Fang Chen should have arrived today, right?
"Oh? Even your Divine Wind Nation's so-called Qi Ranking experts were defeated by our Mo Yun Nation, could it be that the person you are talking about is even stronger than Qi Ranking warriors? " Prince Mo Yun asked.
The First Prince shook his head slightly and said, "He's not a Qi Ranking expert."
"Hahaha, a martial artist who hasn't even stepped into the Qi Ranking, how could she dream of competing with our Black Cloud Country's younger generation?" Hearing that, the Prince Mo Yun laughed out wildly.
At this moment, with a bang, a martial artist from the Divine Wind Nation was defeated on the martial stage.
"Sigh, our Moyun Country traveled thousands of miles to get to the Divine Wind Nation. I never thought that the Divine Wind Nation would have fallen to such a state." The Prince Mo Yun sighed.
