(The update was a little late yesterday, so let’s update it in advance today! In addition, due to system reasons, some readers did not see Chapter 692 "The Demon and the Extreme Yang Body", saying that the plot could not be connected. You can try it,
First remove "Eternal God Emperor" from the bookshelf, then add it again, and you should be able to see it.)
…
"What happened? Why are you two so excited?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
There were at least six sword wounds on Xun Hualiu's body. Even the Taoist robe, which had a certain defensive power, had become tattered and stained with a lot of blood. It was obvious that he had just experienced a tragic battle.
Despite this, his face was flushed, trembling with excitement, and he said happily: "Boss Lin Yue, do you still remember the bet with Gai Hao?"
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said: "Of course I remember. What? 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 a kendo competition. If Pang Long wins, 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 look, it was obvious without guessing that he must have won a battle.
Xun Hualiu laughed loudly and said: "Boss, you didn't see that when I defeated Pang Long, the whole place was in an uproar. All the disciples in Shangqing Palace were dumbfounded and couldn't believe that Senior Brother Pang Long, whom they admired, would actually be killed.
I was beaten to the ground. At that time, I don’t know how many junior sisters were shouting my name. This feeling was so good!"
"From now on, I must work hard to practice with Master Hei, and I will also become a top strong person. Only strong people can gain the respect of others and the admiration of countless people."
Zhang Ruochen patted Xun Hualiu on the shoulder and said, "It's a good thing that you have such awareness."
At first, Zhang Ruochen made a bet with Gai Hao because he was interested in Gai Hao's Yang Spirit Holy Body.
With the appearance of Gai Tianjiao, Zhang Ruochen discovered that the gap between the Yangling Holy Body and the Jiyang Body was really huge.
Of course, since he won the bet, it is also a good thing to owe Gai Hao a favor, and it may be used for other purposes in the future.
"Boss Lin Yue, I'm going to invite the brothers from the Demon Suppressing Academy for a drink tonight to have a good celebration. You must be there."
Xun Guihai defeated Pang Long, which was something he never dared to think about before. Now, his whole person is in a state of excitement.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Don't be too quick to be happy, I have something to ask you. Do you know that Xuanji Sword Master issued a challenge to Jiuyou Sword Master?"
When Xun Guihai saw Lin Yue's realization, he immediately felt a sense of superiority and said: "Of course I know. I'm afraid no one in the entire Eastern Region knows about this matter. The two great sword masters are discussing swords."
The life-and-death battle at the conference will definitely be a major event that attracts everyone's attention."
Mu Jiji, who was standing aside, sighed: "It is said that Xuanji Sword Master started this decisive battle to avenge his disciples."
Zhang Ruochen muttered to himself: "Avenge my disciple..."
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen already understood.
Sword Master Xuanji issued a challenge to Sword Master Jiuyou. As long as the matter was made more serious, Zhang Ruochen, who was hiding in the dark, would naturally be safer.
On the other hand, if the disciple is killed and Sword Master Xuanji does not express his position, will people doubt whether Zhang Ruochen is really dead?
What Zhang Ruochen didn't expect was that Jiuyou Sword Master actually accepted the challenge.
Jiuyou Sword Master obviously did not kill anyone, so why did he accept the challenge? Moreover, he never stood up to clarify a word, as if he had already acquiesced that the person was killed by him.
Zhang Ruochen was moved at the same time, but also very worried.
Jiuyou Sword Master can become one of the three major sword masters in the Eastern Region, so he is certainly not an ordinary person. If something happens to his master, Zhang Ruochen will probably feel guilty for the rest of his life.
"The disciple of Xuanji Sword Master is indeed a generational genius. Not only is he very talented in swordsmanship, but he can also control the power of time and space. Such an outstanding successor was killed, even if I am Xuanji Sword Master
, will also be furious." Mujiji said sadly.
"Jiuyou Sword Master actually dealt a cruel blow to a young warrior. He really doesn't have the grace of a sword master at all." Xun Hualiu sneered.
Zhang Ruochen did not reveal his identity, he just cursed Jiuyou Sword Master, and then he went to the Demon Suppressing Academy with Xun Hualiu and Mu Jiji.
Most of the people invited to Xun Hualiu's banquet were inner disciples, and of course some saint disciples came to congratulate them.
After three drinks, Zhang Ruochen left Xunhualiu's residence and returned to Zixialing Mountain.
"Master is protecting me openly, but I must work hard and not let him down."
"Master's greatest expectation for me is to practice Sword Two to the Great Perfection in the Fish and Dragon Realm. I must do it before the Sword Discussion Conference."
Zhang Ruochen clenched his fists and his eyes became more and more determined.
Three months have passed.
Zhang Ruochen refined three drops of Xuanwu Holy Blood again, finally raising his cultivation level to the peak of the fifth fish-dragon transformation.
When the whole body's true energy reaches a full state, the sea of qi is like an inflated rubber ball. Unless the realm is broken through, the true energy can continue to be absorbed into the body.
Next, he had to spend time condensing the true energy in his body and completely consolidating his realm before he could attack the Sixth Transformation of Fish-Dragon.
It will take at least half a year.
Half a year in the picture scroll world is only about twenty days in the outside world.
Taking advantage of this time, Zhang Ruochen took out the Sword II notes of Moon Burial Sword Saint, Sword Emperor, and Thousand Bone Empress, and began to study the secrets of Sword II.
The first step, of course, is to understand the three Jian Er notes and study the meaning of each sentence.
For Sword Two, you must first have a concept.
It seems to be a very simple thing, but it is actually quite difficult to do it.
Relatively speaking, Moon Burial Sword Master's Sword 2 Notes are simpler and easier to understand. Zhang Ruochen only spent three days studying the contents.
Moon Burial Sword Master's interpretation of Sword Two is quite orthodox, and every sentence contains great truth, giving people a feeling of enlightenment.
After reading a book of Jian Er notes, Zhang Ruochen felt that his understanding of kendo had been greatly improved.
It was also in Jiange that he could easily borrow such precious books.
In the outside world, any sword notes written by Moon Burial Sword Master could be sold for a sky-high price and would be snapped up by countless people.
Immediately, Zhang Ruochen picked up the Jian Er Notes compiled by the Sword Emperor. The words in the book were obviously much more obscure.
However, relying on Zhang Ruochen's high level of Sword Heart Transparency, he was able to roughly understand the above content in seven days.
"The Sword Emperor is indeed the number one swordsman in the past millennium. His interpretation of Sword II is really unique in many ways. It's hard not to admire him."
After reading this notebook, Zhang Ruochen's understanding of kendo has deepened a bit.
The only thing is that if you rely on the Sword Emperor's Sword II Notes to practice, your improvement will definitely be faster. However, Zhang Ruochen must first find five women to be sword attendants.
Therefore, Zhang Ruochen could only regard Sword Emperor's Jian Er Notes as a reference and only learn from the best parts.
Finally, Zhang Ruochen began to study the Thousand Bone Empress's Sword Er Notes.
Perhaps it was because the era when the Thousand Bones Empress existed was too long ago. Every sentence in the notes was quite mysterious. It took Zhang Ruochen half a month to understand only one-third of the contents.
On this day, Xiao Hei's voice came from outside the scroll, "Zhang Ruochen, Gai Tianjiao wants to see you. If you don't get out of seclusion quickly, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop her."
"Gaitianjiao."
Zhang Ruochen did not dare to neglect and immediately exited the picture scroll world.
In the courtyard, Xiao Hei was confronting Gai Tianjiao and blocked her from the door.
Zhang Ruochen opened the door, walked out, glanced at Gai Tianjiao, cupped his hands and said, "I've met Senior Sister."
Gai Tianjiao stared at Xiao Hei on the ground, showed an approving smile, and said: "Lin Yue, this savage beast you raised is quite good in terms of intelligence and strength. How about giving it to me?"
In the courtyard, there were some marks scorched by flames, and some places struck by lightning, which obviously had been a battle.
Zhang Ruochen picked up Xiao Hei, patted its head, and said with a smile: "It's just a wild beast. It probably doesn't know how powerful Senior Sister is, so it dares to fight you. Thank you Senior Sister for showing mercy."
Seeing that Lin Yue had no intention of transferring the cat to her, Gai Tianjiao stopped mentioning it and said: "Do you still remember the agreement you made with the Moon Burial Sword Master? You must go to the Sword Pavilion to practice for at least nine days every month.
, this month is coming to an end, and it seems like you haven’t been there even a day?”
Zhang Ruochen scratched his head, showed a look of astonishment, and said: "I have been busy doing retreats recently, and I have indeed forgotten about this matter! Let's go to Jiange now."
Gai Tianjiao glanced at Lin Yue across from him and could naturally see that his cultivation had indeed increased a lot.
"In less than a month, his cultivation level has improved so much. This boy really has hidden a lot of secrets." Gai Tianjiao thought to himself.
On the way to the sword pavilion, Gai Tianjiao sent a message to Zhang Ruochen and said: "Qi Feiyu won the first place in the Eighth Transformation of Fish and Dragon level in the Sword Dao Conference."
Zhang Ruochen raised his eyebrows slightly and immediately understood what Gai Tianjiao meant, so he asked: "How can she be so powerful?"
In the Eighth Transformation of Fish and Dragon, there are a large number of top masters such as Qin Yufan, Candong, Zhao Wuyan, etc. Each of them is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Even Zhang Ruochen cannot guarantee that he will be able to defeat them all.
With the strength Qi Feiyu has shown before, it is impossible to win first place.
"I specially went to see her fight with Qin Yufan and Candong. According to my analysis, she may have practiced Jianyi to the tenth level of perfection," Gai Tianjiao said.
Zhang Ruochen felt something was wrong and said, "Why do I feel that she had a lot of hidden strength in the past?"
"I think so."
Gai Tianjiao stared at Zhang Ruochen and said, "What I can't figure out is why she suddenly exposed her hidden strength? Could it be that she also wants to represent the Liangyi Sect in the Sword Discussion Conference? But
