In the next few days, Fang Chen continued to familiarize himself with the refining techniques. Finally, after three days, Fang Chen managed to thoroughly stabilize his refining techniques.
At this time, Gu Zong had nothing to say to Fang Chen.
"Master, I'm going to the center now." Fang Chen looked at Gu Zong and said.
Fang Chen was aware of Gu Zong's help, and he was very grateful.
"Your talent is very strong. In a short period of time, you can become a refiner. I hope you don't waste your talent." Gu Zong slowly said.
"Although you must enter the middle section, you must not forget refining." Gu Zong continued: "The central region cannot be compared to the western region. The central region is filled with experts, you must be careful."
Fang Chen nodded his head, only by reaching the Fifth level of the Qi Hai realm would he be able to enter the middle region.
Gu Zong took out a yellowed book from his chest pocket, passed it to Fang Chen and said: "This is my exclusive forging method, it's called the Ancient Shadow Forging Technique.
"Thank you, Master." Fang Chen said.
Gu Zong nodded, and said: "I still have things to do, after I finish doing them, I'll go to the center to find you. If you run into any trouble in the center, you can tell me my name, and maybe I can help you avoid them."
Although Gu Zong had great influence in the west, he did not have much influence in the center. Even so, his name still echoed through the ears on some matters.
After that, Fang Chen packed up and prepared to leave.
Just at this moment, three familiar faces appeared within the estate.
Qin Zhen, Situ Po, and Wen Yu all looked at Fang Chen with a smile. Wen Yu was the first to speak: "Brother Fang, do you mind if we follow you to the center?"
Wen Yu and the other two had always been unwilling to head towards the center because they were fighting over Gu Zong's disciple. But now that the dust had settled on Gu Zong's disciple, they had no other choice but to head towards the center.
Coincidentally, they heard that Fang Chen was also going to head to the Central Region. Although this was a secret to normal warriors, but to the three big sects, it was not a secret.
When Wen Yu and the other two found out that Fang Chen was going to the Central Region, they came over together.
In that battle back then, Fang Chen had defeated them. Although they kept their promises, it was naturally impossible for them, three top experts, to become Fang Chen's servants.
Therefore, they changed their methods.
Seeing that, Fang Chen grinned and nodded.
After bidding farewell to Gu Zong, the four of them walked away from the West Cloud City together and walked on the official road that led to the center.
"Brother Fang, you are not a member of my Golden Crown, right?" Walking on the road, Wen Yu suddenly asked.
Hearing Wen Yu's words, Fang Chen nodded, and said: "No, I am here in the Golden Crown to look for someone."
"Oh? "Brother Fang, who are you looking for?" Situ Po asked with interest.
"A member of the Luo Clan." Fang Chen explained it briefly.
"The Luo Family, a top family clan in the Golden Crown. Wanting to enter the Luo Family, is extremely difficult." Qin Zhen said.
From the west to the middle, with the speed of Fang Chen and the other three, it would still take them ten days.
In the blink of an eye, five days passed. During these five days, besides resting, the four of them continued on their way.
At one point, however, they stopped.
It was because they encountered a group of people from the north.
"Aren't they the top three powerhouses of the west?"
"Haha, to think that you're even a peak expert. You truly do not know shame."
"The people of the west are too weak. They think they are the strongest and can look at the sky from the well." The few people who spoke were the warriors from the north. They also wanted to head towards the center, but the reason why they took a detour was because there was a danger zone between the north and the middle. They did not want to get into any unnecessary trouble.
At this moment, they had met the four people from the west. Their faces were filled with ridicule.
"Chen Xu, were you still brooding over that battle back then?" Wen Yu sneered, and said.
The person leading them from the north was called Chen Xu, he had known Wen Yu and the others since long ago.
Back then, when Chen Xu was still not strong enough, he came from the north to the west. But here, he encountered the most tragic battle of his life.
At that time, Wen Yu's strength was much higher than Chen Xu's, after a fierce battle, Chen Xu lost. From then on, Chen Xu returned to the north and trained diligently.
All these years, Chen Xu had successfully stood at the peak of the young generation that stood in the north, and had always wanted to find an opportunity to battle Wen Yu.
He didn't expect that on the way this time, he would actually meet Wen Yu, so he naturally ridiculed him.
"Hmph. In the battle all those years ago, I was weak in itself." Chen Xu laughed coldly. But now, I alone can defeat all four of you. "
Chen Xu was extremely arrogant, he took a step forward and immediately blocked the path of Fang Chen's group of four, wanting to force them to take action.
"I'll meet you."
Seeing that, Wen Yu's figure flashed, he immediately took out his spear and rushed towards Chen Xu.
Bang Bang Bang...
Although Wen Yu's attack was tyrannical, facing Chen Xu, he actually felt like he couldn't use any strength.
In that moment, Wen Yu felt as if his attack was stuck in a swamp, unable to leave.
"Wen Yu, have you grown so much in these past few years?"
Chen Xu looked at Wen Yu and sneered. Instantly, he erupted with a tyrannical attack, directly smashing onto Wen Yu's body and immediately causing Wen Yu to continuously retreat.
Chen Xu's strength completely suppressed Wen Yu's.
Wen Yu stabilised his body, his expression was ugly as he looked at Chen Xu.
Wen Yu had lost to Chen Xu, so it was even more impossible for Situ Po and Situ Po to be his match. The three of their faces changed as they looked at Fang Chen.
"Hmph, even the so-called strongest younger generation in the west is only so-so." Chen Xu said with a cold smile.
"Let's go." Fang Chen shook his head slightly and said.
He did not want to do anything, nor did he want to waste time.
Hearing Fang Chen's words, Wen Yu and the other two nodded, then turned and left.
Just at this moment, Chen Xu's furious roar reached the four of them.
"Did I tell you to go?" Chen Xu said coldly.
Fang Chen's body that was advancing forward instantly stopped, turned around, and looked at Chen Xu with deep eyes.
"You probably don't have the qualifications to decide whether we stay or not, right?" Fang Chen asked softly.
"Who do you think you are? You think you are qualified to talk to me? " Chen Xu coldly snorted.
In Fang Chen's heart, a trace of fury emerged. He approached Chen Xu step by step, and said: "I just don't want to waste my time."
"You … Even Wen Yu lost to me, you dare provoke me? " Chen Xu said angrily.
"All of you, attack together." Fang Chen said.
Hearing Fang Chen's words, Chen Xu became even angrier, this brat was obviously humiliating him.
"I alone can defeat you."
Chen Xu growled, and suddenly unleashed a sharp attack.
Boom …
Right at this moment, Fang Chen unleashed the fourth level of the Water-Fire Sword Art. The overbearing and sharp sword light directly smashed apart Chen Xu's attack, and pierced into Chen Xu's shoulder.
Ka-cha …
Chen Xu's shoulder was instantly badly mutilated, and fresh blood continuously flowed out.
With a miserable scream, Chen Xu's body flew out and fell onto the ground.
"Let's go."
After Fang Chen finished all of these, he turned and left.
The current Chen Xu did not care about the pain in his arm, his eyes were filled with shock.
"How is this possible?"
Chen Xu could feel that when Fang Chen used that move just now, he felt that the sky and earth had darkened by a lot.
"Brother Xu, are you alright?"
After Fang Chen and the rest disappeared, the warriors brought by Chen Xu ran over to Chen Xu's side and asked anxiously.
"I'm fine." Chen Xu asked in a low voice as he endured the pain.
Once again walking on the public road, Wen Yu and the other two had even more respect for Fang Chen.
"Brother Fang, you're too strong." Wen Yu laughed.
"That's right, defeating Chen Xu in one move, hahaha, that was too great." Situ Po laughed.
"Chen Xu is too arrogant, Brother Fang only wants to lower himself to the same level as him." Qin Zhen said.
Fang Chen shook his head slightly and did not say a word.
After meeting Chen Xu and the others, their journey had gone extremely smoothly. After five days, they had finally arrived at the borders of the central region.
Standing on the distant earth, Fang Chen looked ahead, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the sight of the ground guarded by countless of guards. As expected of the middle regions, there were countless warriors guarding the borders, afraid that martial practitioners from other tribes would sneak in.
"Is that the central region?" Fang Chen asked.
"That's right. In the middle area, there are strength testing monuments. As long as we pass the test, we will be able to enter." Wen Yu said.
Soon after, Fang Chen and the other three came to the edge of the center area, but were stopped by the guards.
"We're going into the middle." Wen Yu said.
"Where are you from?" The guard asked coldly.
"We're from the west." Situ Po said.
"Everyone only has one chance to attack this stone tablet. When the white light on the stone tablet shines, it will pass the test to enter the center." The guard said.
Fang Chen and the other three nodded, the first one to take the test was Qin Zhen, he suddenly punched out, and instantly smashed onto the stone tablet.
Buzz …
The stone tablet made a sound, in the blink of an eye, a gentle light appeared on the stone tablet. Seeing that, Qin Zhen retracted his fist.
"You have passed the test."
After the guard finished speaking, Wen Yu and Situ Po carried on with the test, and one after the other, they passed the test.
The last one to pass the test was Fang Chen. Although he only had Second level of the Qi Hai realm, his true strength was stronger than Wen Yu and the other two, so it was natural for him to pass the test.
"I passed the test."
The four of them passed the test. The guard took out four identity tokens and said, "These are your identity tokens. Enter the middle area and don't randomly walk around. Do not lose your identity tokens."
Fang Chen and the other three received their identity tokens and entered the Central Continent.
"Middle …"
It had been over a year since he had last arrived at the center of Golden Crown.
When he left the Divine Wind Nation, Fang Chen was seventeen, and he was already eighteen. During this year, Fang Chen's cultivation had also increased by a lot.
The moment he entered the Central Continent, a trace of desire actually arose in Fang Chen's heart.
"I hope that mother is at Golden Crown's Luo Family!"
