(The update was a little late yesterday, so I will update it in advance today! In addition, due to system reasons, some readers did not see Chapter 692 "The Demon Son and the Extreme Yang Body", saying that the plot cannot be connected. You can try it, first cancel "The Eternal God Emperor" from the bookshelf and then add it again, and you should be able to see it.)

...

"What happened? Why are you two so excited?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

Xun Hualiu had at least six sword wounds on her body. Even the Taoist robe with certain defense became ragged and stained with a lot of blood. It was obvious that she had just experienced a tragic battle.

Despite this, his face was blushed, trembling with excitement, and said happily: "Boss Lin Yue, do you still remember the bet with Gai Hao?"

Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, "Of course I remember. Why? You and Pang Long have already fought?"

Zhang Ruochen once made an agreement with Gai Hao to let Xun Hualiu and Pang Long compete in the swordsmanship. If so, Pang Long will win, Zhang Ruochen will give Gai Hao a holy sword.

If Xun Hualiu wins, Gai Hao will definitely agree to do something for Zhang Ruochen.

Looking at Xun Hualiu's excited appearance, you don't need to guess that he must have won a battle.

Xun Hualiu laughed and said, "Boss, you didn't see it. When I defeated Pang Long, the whole audience was in full swing. All the disciples in Shangqing Palace were dumbfounded and could not believe that the senior brother Pang Long they admired would be beaten down by me. At that time, many junior sisters were calling my name wildly. This feeling was so good!"

"In the future, I must work hard with Hei Ye, and I will become a top-notch strong man. Only the strong can be respected by others and admired by countless people."

Zhang Ruochen patted Xun Hualiu on the shoulder and said, "It is also a good thing for you to have such an awareness."

At first, Zhang Ruochen and Gai Hao bet that they were completely interested in Gai Hao's Yang Ling Holy Body.

With the appearance of Gai Tianjiao, Zhang Ruochen realized that the gap between the Holy Body of Yang Ling and the Extreme Yang body was really not a small matter.

Of course, since he won the bet, it is also a good thing to make Gai Hao owe a favor, and perhaps there will be other uses in the future.

"Boss Lin Yue, I'm going to invite the brothers from the Demon Suppression Academy to have a drink tonight and have a good celebration. You must be there."

Xun Guihai defeated Pang Long, something he never dared to think about before. Now, he is in a state of excitement.

Zhang Ruochen said: "Don't be happy for now. I have something to ask you. Do you know that Xuan Ji Sword Saint gave the battle letter to Jiuyou Sword Saint?"

When Xun Guihai saw Lin Yue, he immediately felt superior and said, "Of course I know. I'm afraid that everyone in the entire Eastern Region will know about this. The two sword saints at the Sword Competition will definitely be a major event that everyone pays attention to."

Mu Jiji, who was standing aside, sighed: "It is said that Xuan Ji Sword Saint started this decisive battle in order to avenge his disciples."

Zhang Ruochen muttered to himself: "Avenge your disciples..."

At this moment, Zhang Ruochen already understood.

Xuan Ji Sword Saint gave a letter of war to Jiuyou Sword Saint. As long as the matter is made bigger, the safer Zhang Ruochen, who is hiding in the dark, will naturally be.

On the other hand, if the disciple is killed and Xuan Ji Sword Saint does not express his opinion, it will make people wonder if Zhang Ruochen is really dead?

What Zhang Ruochen did not expect was that the Nine Nether Sword Saint actually faced the challenge.

The Nine Nether Sword Saint obviously did not kill anyone, so why did he face the challenge? Moreover, he never stood up to clarify, as if he had already agreed that the person was killed by him.

Zhang Ruochen was both moved and worried.

The Nine Nether Sword Saint is naturally not an ordinary person to be able to become one of the three sword Saints in the East Domain. If the master encounters an accident, Zhang Ruochen may feel guilty for the rest of his life.

"The disciple of Xuanji Sword Saint is indeed a genius. Not only is he very talented in swordsmanship, but he can also control the power of time and space. Such an excellent successor was killed, even if I am Xuanji Sword Saint, I will be furious." Mu Jiji said sighingly.

"The Nine Nether Sword Saint actually attacked a young warrior. He really didn't have the demeanor of the sword saint." Xun Hualiu sneered.

Zhang Ruochen did not say his identity, but just scolded Jiuyou Sword Saint. Then, he went to the Demon Suppression Academy with Xun Hualiu and Mu Jiji.

Most of the invited guests to Xun Hualiu's banquet were inner disciples, and of course some Holy disciples came to congratulate him.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Ruochen left Xun Hualiu's residence and returned to Zixia Lingshan.

"Master is protecting me on the surface, and I must work hard to not disappoint him."

"My master's greatest expectation for me is to practice Sword 2 to the Great Perfection in the Fish and Dragon Realm. I must do it before the Sword Competition."

Zhang Ruochen clenched his fists tightly, his eyes becoming more and more firm.

Three months passed.

Zhang Ruochen refines three drops of Xuanwu Holy Blood again, and finally improves his cultivation to the peak of the fifth transformation of the fish and dragon.

The true qi in the whole body reaches a full state, and the sea of ​​Qi is like a blown ball. Unless the realm is broken, you can continue to absorb the true qi into the body.

Next, he had to spend time condensing the true energy in his body and completely consolidate his realm before he could attack the sixth transformation of the fish and dragon.

At least, it will take half a year.

The six months in the picture scroll world are only about twenty days outside.

Taking advantage of this period, Zhang Ruochen took out the notes of Jian Er from the Jian Yu Sword Saint, Sword Emperor, and the Thousand Bone Empress, and began to study the mystery of Jian Er.

The first step is of course to understand the three books and two notes and study the meaning of each sentence.

For Jian 2, there must be a concept first.

It seems like a very simple thing, but it is quite difficult to do.

Relatively speaking, the second note of Jianyue Sword Saint is simpler and easier to understand. Zhang Ruochen only took three days to study the content.

The interpretation of Jian Er by the Burial Moon Sword Saint is quite orthodox. Every sentence contains great truth, giving people a feeling of enlightenment.

After reading the note of Sword Two, Zhang Ruochen felt that his understanding of Sword Tao has been greatly improved.

It was also in Jiange that he could easily borrow such a precious book.

If it were outside, any sword notes by Burial Moon Sword Saint could be sold at a sky-high price and would be snatched by countless people.

Immediately, Zhang Ruochen picked up the note of Jian Er compiled by the Sword Emperor. The text in the book was obviously much obscure.

However, with Zhang Ruochen's advanced sword heart, he spent seven days to roughly understand the above content.

"The Sword Emperor is worthy of being the number one kendo in a thousand years. His interpretation of Sword II is indeed very unique, and it is impossible to admire it."

After reading this note, Zhang Ruochen's understanding of swordsmanship deepened a little more.

There is only one thing: if you practice with the Sword Emperor's Sword 2 notes, the improvement will definitely be faster, but Zhang Ruochen must first find five women to be the sword servants.

Therefore, Zhang Ruochen could only regard the Sword Emperor's Sword 2 notes as a reference, and only draws on the essence of it.

Finally, Zhang Ruochen began to study the Notes of the Sword 2 of the Thousand Bone Empress.

Perhaps it is because the era when the Journey Empress existed was too long. Every sentence in the notes was quite mysterious. Zhang Ruochen spent half a month and only understood one-third of the content.

On this day, Xiao Hei's voice came from outside the scroll, "Zhang Ruochen, Gai Tianjiao wants to see you. If you don't come out of seclusion quickly, I may not be able to stop her."

"Gaitianjiao."

Zhang Ruochen did not dare to neglect and immediately withdrew from the picture scroll world.

In the courtyard, Xiao Hei was confronting Gai Tianjiao and blocked her outside the door.

Zhang Ruochen pushed open the door, walked out, glanced at Gai Tianjiao, and bowed, "I've seen the senior sister."

Gai Tianjiao stared at Xiao Hei on the ground, showed a smile of approval, and said, "Lin Yue, the wild beast you raised is quite good in terms of wisdom and strength. How about giving it to me?"

In the courtyard, there were some traces of burning by flames and some places that were struck by lightning. It was obviously a battle.

Zhang Ruochen picked up Xiao Hei, patted his head, and smiled and said, "It's just a wild beast. It probably doesn't know how powerful the eldest sister is, so he dares to fight you. Thank you for your mercy."

Seeing that Lin Yue did not mean to transfer the cat to her, Gai Tianjiao stopped mentioning it and said, "Do you remember your agreement with the Sword Saint of Burial Moon? You have to go to the Sword Pavilion to practice for at least nine days every month, and this month is about to end. It seems that you have not been there for a day?"

Zhang Ruochen scratched his head, showed a sudden look, and said, "I have been busy in seclusion and repairing recently, and I have indeed forgotten this matter! Let's go to Jiange now."

Gai Tianjiao looked at Lin Yue opposite him and naturally could see that his cultivation had indeed increased a lot.

"In less than a month, the level of cultivation has improved so much. This kid has indeed hidden a lot of secrets." Gai Tianjiao said in his heart.

On the way to Jiange, Gai Tianjiao sent a voice to Zhang Ruochen and said, "Qi Feiyu won the first place in the eighth level of the fish and dragon transformation of the swordsmanship conference."

Zhang Ruochen raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately understood what Gai Tianjiao said, so he asked, "Is her strength so powerful?"

In the eighth transformation of the fish and dragon, there are a large number of top masters such as Qin Yufan, Canon Dong, and Zhao Wuyan. Each of them is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Even Zhang Ruochen dares not guarantee that he will definitely defeat them all.

With the strength shown by Qi Feiyu before, it is impossible to win the first place.

"I have specially visited her battle with Qin Yufan and Can Dong. According to my analysis, she may have cultivated Sword Yi to the tenth level of great perfection." Gai Tianjiao said.

Zhang Ruochen felt something was wrong and said, "Why do I think she had a lot of strength in the past?"

"I think so too."
