In the beginning, the Sovereign King Kong did not pay much attention to Fang Chen, but when Fang Chen unleashed the Sword Explosion of the Three Sword Realms, he finally recognized the strength of this young practitioner, which was why he had asked Liang Yi.
"Master, he's a good friend we met on the way. He's very powerful." Liang Yi said simply.
Just as Liang Yi's voice fell, a tall and sturdy man walked up the stage from the Falling Dust Sword Sect's area.
Ye Ming, the head disciple of the Falling Dust Sword Sect, was much stronger than Ye Luo and his cultivation had reached the peak of the Third Stage of Qi Transformation.
Ye Luo represented the Falling Dust Sword Sect. He had been defeated so easily by Fang Chen, and he had even been defeated by a sword cultivator with a 1st level of the Qi Hai realm.
Therefore, the moment Ye Luo lost, Ye Ming stood up. He wanted to teach this stupid warrior a lesson and let him know that the Falling Dust Sword Sect was not so easy to bully.
"Kid, you're very strong." Ye Ming stood on the stage, narrowed his eyes, and said while looking at Fang Chen.
"However, you are no match for me, Ye Ming." Ye Ming said once again.
His meaning was very clear, it was to take revenge for Ye Luo, and to save face for the Falling Dust Sword Sect.
Seeing Ye Ming make his move, the Falling Dust Sword Sect's Sect Leader's face revealed a cold smile. He was very clear on Ye Ming's strength.
Seeing Ye Ming make his move, the Sovereign King Kong was a little worried for Fang Chen and asked, "Ye Ming's cultivation has reached the peak of the Third level of the Qi Hai realm, is your good friend able to handle him?"
"Sovereign, you can take it easy." Liang Yi's face was full of smiles as he grinned.
Seeing that the fourth young master of the Liang family was so confident, the sect master of the Falling Dust Sword Sect didn't say anymore.
On the stage, Fang Chen looked at Ye Ming. His face was very calm, without a single trace of fear.
"If you want to stand, then fight." Fang Chen said.
"I hope you're still so courageous later on."
As soon as Ye Ming finished speaking, the long sword in his hand suddenly appeared. In the next moment, a majestic sword intent surrounded his entire body.
Following that, a wild sword qi shot straight into the clouds.
Crash …
Ye Ming shouted and suddenly displayed the sword art he was proud of. The long sword in his hand trembled and sword light appeared in the sky one after another. These sword lights contained boundless sword intent.
Seeing that Ye Ming's attack was about to arrive, Fang Chen revealed a trace of a strange smile on his face, and then activated Water-Fire Sword Art level 2.
Rumble …
Once he activated the second layer of the Water-Fire Sword Art, the tyrannical Sword-light of fire and water suddenly floated in the air. On top of the sword aura, half of the flame and half of the stream was flowing, it was very spectacular.
Boom …
Under the gazes of the crowd, the two collided, and a wild explosion resounded.
Fang Chen's figure retreated a little, while Ye Ming continued to retreat. When he reached the edge of the stage, he tried his best to stabilize his body.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, Ye Ming finally realized what was so special about Fang Chen's sword technique. His eyes were filled with shock.
"Why is this kid's sword technique so profound?" The Sect Master of the Falling Dust Sword Sect said with a face full of shock.
As the Sect Leader of the Falling Dust Sword Sect, he was the strongest sword cultivator in the entire Falling Dust Sword Sect. Just by watching Fang Chen execute the second stage of Water-Fire Sword Art, he instantly realised that the sword techniques that Fang Chen had displayed were extremely exquisite.
After a long while, the Falling Dust Sword Sect's Sect Master shook his head and sighed, "Ye Ming is not his match."
The Falling Dust Sword Sect's Sect Leader could not understand how such an exquisite sword technique could be successfully cultivated by such a young warrior.
As expected of the Falling Dust Sword Sect's Sect Master, in the following battle, Fang Chen gradually grasped the initiative.
In the end, amongst the shocked cries of the crowd, Ye Ming was forced down the stage by Fang Chen.
Of course, this was also because Fang Chen had shown mercy, otherwise, Ye Ming would have been killed by him long ago. Ye Ming's strength was similar to Hua Feng's, so it would be extremely easy for Fang Chen to kill him.
"Impossible …" Ye Ming's eyes were filled with a scarlet color. He did not dare believe that a practitioner of 1st level of the Qi Hai realm could defeat him.
Hearing Ye Ming's angry shout, the Falling Dust Sword Sect's Sect Master shook his head slightly and slowly stood up. He then said, "Ye Ming, you are not his opponent."
After the Falling Dust Sword Sect's Sect Master said this, he turned and looked at Fang Chen. His eyes were filled with complex emotions, and he said slowly: "Little friend's swordsmanship has reached perfection, I'm impressed."
"My Falling Dust Sword Sect is a great sword sect in the south. If little friend is willing to join my Falling Dust Sword Sect, we will definitely give our all to nurture you." Falling Dust Sword Sect's Sect Leader suddenly said.
Hearing the Falling Dust Sword Sect Sect Master's words, Fang Chen shook his head slightly. His thoughts were not here, he only wanted to quickly cultivate to the Fifth level of the Qi Hai realm and then enter the Central Region to the capital.
"Thank you for your kind intentions, but I temporarily do not have any plans in this regard." Fang Chen kept his Hidden Dragon Sword and cupped his hands as he spoke.
Fang Chen rejected the Falling Dust Sword Sect's invitation, and in the end, the numerous disciples of the Falling Dust Sword Sect quietly left under the lead of their sect master.
After Falling Dust Sword Sect left, the entire Vajra Sect was filled with cheers. Every time there was a competition between the two sects, Falling Dust Sword Sect would win out against the Vajra Sect. This time, the entire Vajra Sect was defeated.
"Fang Chen, thank you so much this time." Sovereign King Kong thanked him personally.
"It was nothing." Fang Chen slightly nodded, and said afterwards.
After chatting with the Sovereign King Kong for a while, Fang Chen was arranged to stay in a separate courtyard. Under normal circumstances, no one would bother Fang Chen.
After the fourth young master returned to the sect, he also went into seclusion.
Fang Chen stayed in the Falling Dust Sword Sect for three days in the blink of an eye.
Three days later, Fang Chen walked out of the courtyard and rushed toward a mountain peak.
Fang Chen found out from a certain disciple that the Vajra Sect was a body refining sect. Inside their sect, there was a divine mountain and on top of this divine mountain, there were nine steps. These steps were called the body refining steps.
Most of the disciples in the Vajra Martial School would train their physical strength on the body refining step. Of course, not every disciple had the right to step on the body refining step.
This was because on the body refining step, there was an extremely wild pressure. If one's body was too weak, they would be squeezed by that wild pressure and receive heavy injuries.
When Fang Chen arrived at the bottom of the divine mountain, he saw countless disciples. This divine mountain was not considered very tall, and from the foot of the mountain to the top, there were nine steps.
Between each step was a staircase.
When Fang Chen arrived at the foot of the divine mountain, countless of disciples were watching. At this moment, on the body refining stairs, Jin Tai was climbing.
Jin Tai's fleshly body had reached the peak of the 1-star Dao Body, so his fleshly body was extremely strong. Fang Chen watched as Jin Tai directly went from the second step to the third step.
After walking up to the third step, Jin Tai was finally unable to continue moving forward. His figure flashed, and he directly exited the body refinement stage.
"Last time, Senior Brother Jin Tai could only reach the second step, I never thought that he would actually reach the third step. It seems like not long from now, Senior Brother Jin Tai will reach the 2-star Dao Body."
"That's right, Senior Brother Jin Tai has already reached a certain level of 1-star Dao Body, maybe he will be able to break through on his way back."
"Amongst the younger generation of our Vajra Sect, Senior Brother Jin Tai is the disciple with the most hope of reaching the 2-star Dao Body level."
The crowd of disciples said as they saw Jin Tai retreating back from the body tempering stage.
Just then, Jin Tai discovered Fang Chen.
"Brother Fang, you're here?" Jin Tai looked at Fang Chen and asked.
Just then, everyone noticed that Fang Chen had arrived and looked towards Fang Chen.
"Come take a look." Fang Chen smiled.
"Do you want to try?" Jin Tai suddenly said.
Hearing this, Fang Chen nodded his head slightly, and said: "That's fine too."
With that said, Fang Chen activated his 1-star Dao Body, causing his physical body's defense to become the strongest, causing the skin all over his body to release a bit of light.
Following that, Fang Chen stepped onto the first step.
Boom …
When Fang Chen stepped onto the first step, a tyrannical pressure instantly came from all directions, pressing down on Fang Chen.
"What a strong pressure."
Fang Chen thought in his heart. The pressure on the body tempering stairs could refine a martial artist's body to the extreme.
Hiss, hiss, hiss …
Fang Chen stayed on the first step for fifteen minutes, and after finally adapting to the power of the body tempering stage, he began to move.
At this time, under the divine mountain, Jin Tai's eyes were filled with shock.
"How is this possible?" Jin Tai muttered, "His physical body actually reached a 1-star Dao Body?"
Just as Jin Tai was speaking, Fang Chen had stepped onto the second step. When Fang Chen reached the second step, he felt an even stronger force pressing down on his body.
At this time, the little spots of light on Fang Chen's skin continuously flickered.
"Mid 1-star Dao Body." Fang Chen said lightly, and then he began to receive the baptism of strong pressure.
Time slowly passed, and all the warriors were watching Fang Chen who was on the body tempering stage.
Two hours later, Fang Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and the light on the surface of his skin became even more dazzling.
"Peak 1-star Dao Body."
Fang Chen's heart was also filled with surprise. Previously, his physical body had only reached the intermediate stage of a 1-star Dao Body.
Unexpectedly, after just two hours of being baptized by the tyrannical pressure on the Refinement Stage, his physical body had already reached the peak of 1-star Dao Body.
After his fleshly body broke through, Fang Chen's feet pushed off the ground and he instantly stepped onto the third step.
When he reached the third step, Fang Chen finally felt a lot of pressure.
"If I spend some time cultivating on the third step, my fleshly body will definitely be able to break through to the 2-star Dao Body level." Fang Chen said in his heart.
When Fang Chen stepped onto the third step of the Body Refinement Realm, a huge commotion broke out below the divine mountain.
