Time passed silently.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Gu Zong and the Sacred Cloud Martial Marquis had already stayed in the Baimei Sword Sect for a month.
During this month, Fang Chen's Da Lou Soul Killing Flame had also successfully cultivated to the first level. At this time, Fang Chen's soul had also gone from the initial Red Rank initial stage, middle stage, late stage, peak stage, and even the current early stage of Orange.
With his soul reaching the Orange, Fang Chen's strength would be raised to a whole new level.
During this period of time, Fang Chen had not only cultivated the Great Luo Soul Killing Flame, but also took into account the physical aspects. With the help of the Great Art of Fiendgod Body Refinement, Fang Chen's physical body had also reached the peak of a two star Dao Body, just a step away from reaching the Tristar Dao Body.
Simply put, in this one month, Fang Chen's strength had improved by leaps and bounds.
The current Fang Chen could easily kill an early stage Seventh level of the Qi Hai realm practitioner and even defeat a middle stage Seventh level of the Qi Hai realm practitioner. Even if he had to face a late stage Seventh level of the Qi Hai realm practitioner, Fang Chen would still dare to challenge him.
However, because of his cultivation level, there was still a huge gap between Fang Chen and the top disciple in the outer sect.
Xiahou Wu's cultivation had reached the peak of the Seventh level of the Qi Hai realm, just a step away from stepping into the eighth level of Qi Hai realm, and entered the inner sect.
However, Xiahou Wu was stuck here, unable to break through even after a long time.
However, even so, there was no one in the Outer Sect who could shake Xiahou Wu's position.
With Fang Chen's current strength, he would definitely be able to rank in the top ten or even the top five. However, Fang Chen was relatively low key and basically did not display his powerful strength.
"Great Luo Soul Killing Flame Level 1, Great Art of Fiendgod Body Refinement Level 1." In the courtyard, Fang Chen suddenly opened his eyes and said.
Of course, during this period of time, Fang Chen had also attempted to cultivate the wind and cloud mental cultivation, but the wind and cloud mental cultivation was stuck at the eighth level and for some reason, no matter how Fang Chen trained, he was unable to advance a single step.
If he was unable to cultivate the ninth level of the wind and cloud mental cultivation successfully, Fang Chen would be unable to cultivate the Absolute Wind and Cloud Meridian.
Once Fang Chen had reached a bottleneck in his cultivation, he came out of seclusion one day with an excited smile on his face.
"Hahaha." Gu Zong laughed wildly.
After hearing the news, Sacred Cloud Martial Marquis and Fang Chen quickly rushed to Gu Zong's courtyard. They saw Gu Zong holding onto a weapon in his hands, his face full of excitement.
"It's been fixed?"
Seeing Gu Zong's expression, the Sacred Cloud Martial Marquis knew that Gu Zong had already finished cultivating his weapon.
"This time, it's all thanks to Fang Chen's meteorite." Gu Zong laughed wildly, and said to the Sacred Cloud Martial Marquis.
After a long while, Gu Zong finally stabilized his emotions and slowly explained his situation.
After hearing what Gu Zong said, Fang Chen and the Sacred Cloud Martial Marquis's face was also filled with excitement. They never thought that by chance, Gu Zong had actually touched the threshold of the Grandmaster.
One had to know that above the Grandmaster Realm was the Grandmaster Realm. Even though there was only a single step between the two, the difference was like a thousand miles.
Even in the entire Nanling, a Grandmaster could be considered a top tier artificer, but a Grandmaster was different in the Nanling.
Grandmasters could refine Soul-Soldier s, but Grandmasters could refine Mystic Soldiers s that defied the heavens.
"You touched the threshold of the Grandmaster?" The Sacred Cloud Martial Marquis asked.
"That's right, I've already touched the threshold of the Grandmaster Realm. In less than three years, I'll definitely be able to step into the Grandmaster Realm." Gu Zong said sincerely.
"Congratulations, haha." Sacred Cloud Martial Marquis was also happy for Gu Zong.
"Congratulations Master." Fang Chen said.
Although the Golden Crown was a huge country, it was only a huge country of the Nanling.
If he could break through to the Grandmaster Realm, even in Nanling, he would still be considered a strong warrior.
After that, the three of them chatted for a long time before Fang Chen finally suggested that their master fuse the primary Soul-Soldier s and middle Soul-Soldier s.
Gu Zong readily agreed.
Three days later, a completely new sword appeared in front of Fang Chen. This sword's body was silver, and on it, there were specks of starlight.
Gu Zong was a Master Refiner, fusing with two longswords was an easy task. In just three days, he had already fused with the two swords.
After fusing with the sword, the grade of the sword had increased, and it reached a high level Soul-Soldier. This made Fang Chen very excited.
"Fang Chen, what do you think of this sword?" Gu Zong handed the sword over to Fang Chen, and laughed.
Fang Chen played around with it, and felt that it was not bad. He was very happy, with a high ranking Soul-Soldier, his strength would once again become strong.
"Since it's two swords merging together, let's call him Star-Hidden Sword." Fang Chen said in his heart.
From now on, Star-Hidden Sword would be Fang Chen's battle partner for a long time.
After doing all of this, Gu Zong proposed to leave, because he had touched upon the threshold of a great master and needed to go out to train.
After Gu Zong left, the Sacred Cloud Martial Marquis also took his leave.
In the blink of an eye, the two great Rankers had left, and Fang Chen's life returned to normal once again.
He had already been in the Sword Continent for a long time, and Fang Chen's strength had already grown to be in the ranks of the outer sect Top Disciples s.
Not long after Gu Zong left with the Sacred Cloud Martial Marquis, Zi Xin appeared in front of Fang Chen's courtyard, clamoring, "Fang Chen, come out right now."
Zi Xin's clamor attracted a lot of disciples to watch, they wanted to see, who was stronger between Fang Chen and Zi Xin.
"Fang Chen, do you really want to be a turtle that hides its head forever?" Seeing no reaction, Zi Xin continued to shout.
Time trickled by, and an entire hour had passed without Fang Chen's courtyard reacting at all.
Zi Xin was furious in his heart, Fang Chen was definitely afraid of him and did not dare to come out.
"Fang Chen, I refuse to believe that you will stay here and not come out." Zi Xin was furious.
At this time, in the courtyard, Fang Chen's face carried a hint of ridicule. In his opinion, Zi Xin was not his match at all, and he disdained to attack Zi Xin.
Just like this, Zi Xin waited for seven days before leaving.
Because today was the day for the competition for the outer court spirit sword resources.
On this day, Fang Chen appeared on the plaza and his appearance attracted the attention of many disciples.
Zi Xin naturally saw Fang Chen, "Fang Chen, are you finally willing to appear as trash now?"
Fang Chen acted as if he did not hear Zi Xin's words, and did not even look at him. This made many disciples think that Fang Chen was afraid of Zi Xin.
At this moment, Wei Wushuang walked in front of Fang Chen and said softly, "Junior-apprentice Brother Fang, be careful of Zi Xin."
Fang Chen nodded at Wei Wushuang, and then the competition for the Spirit Sword Sect's resources began.
Six hours later, the competition for the spirit sword resources had ended. This time, Fang Chen obtained a total of 45 hours worth of spirit sword resources, shocking countless disciples.
Just as the competition for the Spirit Sword Sect's resources ended, Zi Xin appeared in front of Fang Chen and blocked his path.
"Fang Chen, hand over your Spirit Sword Sect's resources and kneel down and apologize to me. I might let you off." Zi Xin said arrogantly.
Fang Chen raised his head, looked at Zi Xin, and then said: "I wonder where you get all that confidence from?"
Fang Chen had never fought with Zi Xin because he thought that Zi Xin was not worthy for him to help, but Zi Xin thought that Fang Chen was afraid of him.
Fang Chen had endured it again and again, but Zi Xin actually dared to turn his attention to Fang Chen.
"Hmph, boy, don't refuse a toast and be punished." Zi Xin said coldly.
Fang Chen shook his head and said: "Are you really going to challenge me?"
After listening to Fang Chen's words, Zi Xin asked in a deep voice: "Do you dare to accept my challenge?"
"My sword is used to kill." Fang Chen said softly.
Hearing that, Zi Xin laughed, thinking that Fang Chen was trying to scare him, "You think I was scared? Let me tell you, if you don't hand over the Spirit Sword Sect's resources today, you won't be able to walk out of here. "
Zi Xin's entire body released a terrifying aura, and wildly said.
On the plaza, some of the more powerful disciples had already left. They were not interested in a battle at this level.
However, most of the weaker disciples stood in a circle, watching the two of them.
"What a pity …" No killing is allowed here. " Fang Chen sighed.
The Baimei Sword Sect also had its own rules. Other than the life and death arena, other places could fight, but not the following killers.
Therefore, it was a pity for Fang Chen. If this was the life and death arena, Zi Xin would have died a long time ago.
"Haha, Fang Chen, do you really want to die that badly? Right now, I am only an outer disciple of the Baimei Sword Sect. Do you dare to accept my challenge? " Zi Xin said in a heavy voice.
"Why would I not dare?" Fang Chen said.
"Alright, since you dare agree, then let's go to life and death arena right now?" Zi Xin said.
At this time, Mo Yiqing appeared. He looked at the two of them and immediately said: "A life and death battle requires the approval of the Elders Guild."
Although Mo Yiqing really wanted Fang Chen to die, he couldn't ignore the rules of the Baimei Sword Sect.
"I will go and apply for it. Fang Chen, just you wait to die."
With that, Zi Xin turned and left. Mo Yiqing looked at Fang Chen thoughtfully.
At noon, the Elders Guild sent out a message that the life and death battle between Zi Xin and Fang Chen had passed.
When this news spread, many disciples went into an uproar. This was the second disciple after Mo Han to have a life-and-death battle with Fang Chen.
Zi Xin was countless times stronger than him. He wondered if he could kill Fang Chen this time around.
The afternoon quickly arrived and many disciples had already arrived in front of the life and death arena.
Zi Xin had also arrived very early, and Elder Mo Yiqing had also come along with him.
After a while, Fang Chen also came.
"Fang Chen, what else do you have to say?" Zi Xin looked at Fang Chen and said.
Because he knew that Fang Chen would die soon, and it was still too late to say anything.
"Is that what you want to say?" Fang Chen shook his head slightly and said, "You're so silly."
As soon as Fang Chen finished speaking, anger surfaced on his face. Even at this point, Fang Chen was still playing tricks on him.
"Fang Chen, you're courting death." Zi Xin said coldly.
When Law Enforcement Elder's voice fell, Zi Xin's entire body released a terrifying aura, in his hand, a long sword suddenly appeared.
"It's time to intimidate the others."
Fang Chen said softly. In the next moment, the Star-Hidden Sword appeared in her hands and she activated the sixth level of Water-Fire Sword Art.
Whoosh …
There was no sound at all. The life and death arena had the upper hand with light clouds, as if nothing had happened at all.
Fang Chen held onto the Star-Hidden Sword, and did not move at all. And right in front of him, Zi Xin also did not move at all.
"Zi Xin, what are you doing?" Seeing that, Mo Yiqing bellowed.
Bang
Just as Mo Yiqing finished speaking, blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, and his body collapsed onto the ground, lifeless.
"Hua …"
The entire life and death arena was in an uproar, countless disciples were shocked beyond belief.
They hadn't even seen how Fang Chen had attacked and how he had died without a sound.
How strong was Fang Chen?
