Chapter 3 - Second level of the Refinement Realm

In an instant, he had succeeded in training the first layer of the Single Sword, which shocked Fang Chen a little.

But after a while, Fang Chen recovered his composure, he knew that all of this was because of the golden heart.

Only now, did Fang Chen realise that not only was his golden heart able to provide him with an endless amount of energy, it had also helped him increase his sword practice speed by a lot.

"It must be that golden longsword."

Fang Chen's face was full of surprise, and he thought in his heart.

This series of changes also caused Fang Chen to be incomparably shocked. He originally thought that he would need some time to cultivate the One Breath Sword Technique, but unexpectedly, he had already reached the first level in the blink of an eye.

The One Breath Sword has a total of three levels, Fang Chen had already mastered the first level.

"Let's see if I can cultivate to the second level in one go." Fang Chen was slightly moved, and said immediately.

Following that, Fang Chen activated the second layer of the Single Sword Art, but unexpectedly, his golden heart did not increase its rate of heartbeat yet again.

And naturally, he had not successfully mastered the second level of the Solitary Sword Technique either.

"Is it because the first level hasn't reached the level of Perfection?" Other than this, Fang Chen could not think of any other reason.

After that, Fang Chen tried several times but there was no reaction from the golden heart, which made Fang Chen even more certain of his thoughts.

Although he could not practice the One Breath Sword Technique all at once, it was not easy to have this kind of cultivation speed.

Furthermore, Fang Chen felt that the golden heart was out of the ordinary. As his own strength increased, he would definitely be able to understand the differences in the golden heart.

"The golden heart has made my insights into the Dao of the Sword even more profound. Comprehending sword arts is extremely easy. This is one of my strengths. I have to make good use of it." Fang Chen clenched his fist and said softly.

The golden heart was Fang Chen's greatest secret, and was also Fang Chen's greatest reliance. He was confident that in an extremely short amount of time, he could break through to the Second level of the Refinement Realm realm.

Just like this, Fang Chen continued to cultivate in his own courtyard.

Time passed bit by bit, and when half a month had passed, outer disciple Liang Yong came out of seclusion, his strength reaching the peak of the Second level of the Refinement Realm, and he could be considered as a medium level outer disciple.

Liang Yong's exit drew the attention of many outer sect disciples. They felt that a great drama was about to unfold.

Indeed, the first thing Liang Yong heard about Fang Chen after he came out of seclusion was about him.

After Liang Yong finished listening, his face became extremely gloomy and a sense of anger appeared in his heart.

"This damned bastard is still alive?!" Liang Yong coldly said as he stood atop a plaza.

"Senior-apprentice Brother Liang, not only is this kid not dead, he even defeated Li Jun in one move." A disciple beside him whispered.

Hearing these words, Liang Yong's anger, finally burst out.

"Trash is trash. Even though his strength has improved a bit, he is still no match for me." Liang Yong said in a serious tone.

"Senior-apprentice Brother Liang, what should we do next?" Some disciples asked.

"He didn't die last time, so consider him lucky. This time, I must make him die." Liang Yong muttered to himself.

At this time, there were many outer sect disciples gathered on the plaza. Most of them were here to watch the show, and at the center of the plaza, stood Liang Yong.

After Liang Yong reached the peak of the Second level of the Refinement Realm, he felt even more disdain towards Fang Chen.

"Boy, you can only blame yourself for offending someone you shouldn't have offended." Liang Yong thought.

Just then, two figures suddenly appeared from afar. They were Xiao Shan, Jiang He and Fang Chen's best friends.

"Senior-apprentice Brother Liang, those two guys are Fang Chen's best friends." Some sharp-eyed disciples noticed the two and said.

Hearing that, Liang Yong raised his eyes, a strange smile appeared on his face, and he walked towards the two of them step by step.

Xiao Shan and Jiang He also noticed Liang Yong, their expressions changed slightly, and they quickly quickened their steps, preparing to leave this dangerous place.

But, would Liang Yong allow them to do so?

Although Xiao Shan and Jiang He had Second level of the Refinement Realm, they were still far from Liang Yong's.

"You two, stop." Liang Yong's ice-cold voice instantly spread out.

Hearing that, Xiao Shan and Jiang He paused for a moment, and then moved forward again, as if they had not heard Liang Yong at all.

Being ignored by the two, Liang Yong's face burned with anger.

"I told the two of you to stop."

As soon as Liang Yong finished speaking, he clenched his fists and looked towards the two Blast a fist s without hesitation.

Rumble …

Hearing the sounds of the fists behind them, Xiao Shan and Jiang He were shocked, they immediately used all their power to block, with a bang, they both retreated, barely able to withstand the punch.

"Liang Yong, what do you mean?" Xiao Shan glared at him and asked.

"Humph, if you want to blame something, blame yourselves for being Fang Chen's best friends."

Liang Yong did not give the two any chances, he directly took out his long sword, a sword light flashed, and an astonishing attack instantly appeared.

"Senior-apprentice Brother Liang is so strong."

"Senior-apprentice Brother Liang has very strong potential. One day, you will definitely be able to enter the top ten."

"That's right, Xiao Shan and Jiang He are not a match for Senior-apprentice Brother Liang."

At this time, in Fang Chen's independent courtyard, Fang Chen was currently cultivating.

After half a month of cultivation, Fang Chen's strength had already reached the peak of the first stage of Qi Refinement Realm.

Hiss, hiss, hiss …

Just as Fang Chen was frantically absorbing the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth, suddenly, his golden heart started to beat even faster. In the next moment, Fang Chen was shocked to discover that the bottleneck had disappeared, and he had already broke through to the Second level of the Refinement Realm silently.

"This is Second level of the Refinement Realm?"

Fang Chen stopped cultivating, and a slight smile appeared on his face. After half a month of bitter training, he finally broke through to the Second level of the Refinement Realm.

When Fang Chen got used to the power of the Second level of the Refinement Realm, he discovered that it was twice as strong as before. And what surprised Fang Chen was that his body tempering fist had also reached the fifth stage.

"Haargh!"

Fang Chen slowly stood up and suddenly punched out. All of the power in his body was gathered on his fist, and he instantly punched out.

When the fist tip clashed with the ground, two roars came out, which meant that Fang Chen had the power of two Qilins.

Although Fang Chen already had the power of two Qilins when he was at the fourth stage of the Body Refinement Realm, the power of two Qilins when he was at the fifth stage of the Body Refinement Realm was much stronger than when he was at the fourth stage.

"The me now, with the One Breath Sword, even if it's a middle or late stage second stage martial artist, I am not afraid." Fang Chen said confidently.

Just as Fang Chen made his breakthrough, an outer disciple suddenly ran out of Fang Chen's courtyard while gasping for breath.

"Fang Chen, something bad happened." The disciple shouted.

When Fang Chen saw this disciple, his expression changed a little, and asked: "What happened?"

Fang Chen recognized this disciple, he was usually rather close to Jiang He, but he was only a bit weaker.

"Fang Chen, Liang Yong just came out of seclusion and coincidentally met Xiao Shan and Jiang He …"

Before this disciple could finish speaking, Fang Chen had already left the courtyard like a gust of wind.

"Liang Yong, if you dare touch Jiang He and Xiao Shan, I, Fang Chen will definitely not let you go."

Without even thinking, Fang Chen knew that the reason Liang Yong targeted Jiang He and Xiao Shan was entirely because of him.

Sou sou sou …

Fang Chen's speed was extremely fast, and in a short while, he appeared on top of the plaza. At this time, he just so happened to see the retreating Jiang He and Xiao Shan.

Puff …

A sword light flashed, and Jiang He's body was sent flying. A sword mark appeared on his body, and blood continued to flow.

"Liang Yong, you bastard."

Seeing that, Xiao Shan roared angrily, but what was waiting for Xiao Shan, was still a ray of sword aura.

Puff …

Xiao Shan was flung backwards, his body retreating explosively. Fang Chen stepped forward and stopped Xiao Shan's body.

"Are you alright?" Fang Chen's eyes were cold as he asked.

"Fang Chen, what are you doing here? Liang Yong is targeting you? "Hurry up and leave." After Xiao Shan found Fang Chen, he shouted loudly.

"Fang Chen, you are not Liang Yong's match." Jiang He said.

Liang Yong, who was about to attack, saw Fang Chen, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes. He immediately said: "Fang Chen, you cowardly turtle, you actually dared to appear."

"Why did you attack Xiao Shan and Jiang He, who have no enmity with you?" Fang Chen said coldly.

"Fang Chen, your life is really big. You actually didn't die in that battle half a month ago." Liang Yong did not reply to Fang Chen, but said slowly.

"However, you will die soon." Liang Yong said confidently.

Fang Chen pulled Xiao Shan and Jiang He to the side, walked towards Liang Yong step by step and said: "If you want me to die, you will have to pay a huge price. Believe me, that kind of price is not something you can bear."

Liang Yong frowned slightly. Half a month ago, when Fang Chen was facing him, he basically did not dare to speak in such a manner.

It had only been half a month, did Fang Chen have any fortuitous encounters?

"Fang Chen, do you think that you can escape from me?" Liang Yong laughed sinisterly.

"I, Fang Chen, will definitely take revenge for the grudge half a month ago." Fang Chen said.

"Fang Chen, I am giving you one last chance, cripple your cultivation and kneel in front of me as an apology. I might let you go, if not …" Liang Yong said.

Hearing this, Fang Chen shook his head, he was no longer the Fang Chen that Liang Yong could bully as he pleased.

As a person who had experienced two lifetimes, Fang Chen knew that if he did not want to be bullied, he had to be strong. Furthermore, the current Fang Chen, after reaching the Second level of the Refinement Realm, was not afraid of him at all.

"Apologize to Xiao Shan and Jiang He."

Fang Chen's words caused countless disciples nearby to cry out in alarm.

"Fang Chen actually dared to ask Senior-apprentice Brother Liang to apologize? Is his brain broken? "

"Half a month ago, he almost died at the hands of Senior-apprentice Brother Liang. Does he think that half a month of bitter cultivation would be enough to fend off Senior-apprentice Brother Liang?"

"Honestly speaking, even if this kind of trash were to be killed by the Senior-apprentice Brother Liang, the sect would not care."

"Offending the Senior-apprentice Brother Liang, there simply won't be a good ending. Furthermore, Fang Chen is this strong, looks like we'll have to suffer."

The sounds of discussion from the countless disciples around entered Liang Yong's ears.

Liang Yong's face was covered in frost, Fang Chen was provoking himself, "This time, I want to see who can save you."
