Zhang Ruochen caught up with the tall and thin man, stood beside him, walked side by side, and asked curiously: "Just now, you said that you and I are different, what do you mean?"
The tall, thin man's eyes were always staring ahead, with no intention of talking to Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen said again: "If you tell me the reason, I will tell you the reason."
Perhaps it was because Zhang Ruochen was a disciple of Changsheng Academy. Or perhaps it was because the tall and thin man was really curious about Zhang Ruochen's unusual behavior. Finally, he said: "My cultivation has reached the eighth transformation of fish and dragon. Even if I swallow
It is impossible for the Holy Spring to break through to the ninth transformation of fish and dragon."
Zhang Ruochen nodded suddenly, that's it, and said: "So, you plan to wait until you break through the ninth transformation of fish and dragon, then take the holy spring, use the power of the holy spring to understand the holy way, and then hit the realm of semi-saint."
"good."
The tall and thin man's eyes were fixed on Zhang Ruochen: "Don't tell me that you have also reached the eighth transformation of fish and dragon? Although I can't see through your cultivation, I know that your realm is still far away from the eighth transformation of fish and dragon.
It’s not a small gap.”
"Amazing, he is worthy of being a strong man in the eighth transformation of fish and dragon."
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "It's okay to tell you. The reason why I didn't stay in the first holy spring to improve my cultivation is because I want to go to the top of the second mountain to collect the holy water from the second holy spring. If there is
If I have a chance, I would also like to go to the top of the Third Mountain. It only takes one day a month, so why should I waste my time on the First Mountain?"
The corner of the tall and thin man's mouth twitched slightly, he looked at Zhang Ruochen carefully and said, "I never expected that such an arrogant person would come out of Changshengyuan. With your cultivation, you can get through the first level of the second mountain."
Passing the pass is enough to cause a sensation in the Liangyi Sect."
Obviously, the tall and thin man did not believe that Zhang Ruochen could reach the top of the second mountain. He only thought that Zhang Ruochen was a fanatic who overestimated his abilities.
Previously, he saw Zhang Ruochen save the disciple who fell off the cliff, and felt that Zhang Ruochen was quite humane. Moreover, they were both disciples of the Changsheng Academy, so he wanted to make friends with Zhang Ruochen.
But because of what Zhang Ruochen said just now, whatever good impression he had towards Zhang Ruochen was gone.
The tall and thin man walked straight forward and never said a word to Zhang Ruochen again.
Being able to do what you say is called confidence.
Saying something but not being able to do it is called arrogance.
Zhang Ruochen has always felt that he is a confident person. If a person does not have self-confidence, what else can he accomplish?
Seeing the tall and thin man leaving without looking back, Zhang Ruochen just shook his head and smiled without any emotion. He walked to the foot of the second mountain with his hands behind his back.
Before the two of them arrived, dozens of disciples of the Holy Tradition had already gathered here at the foot of the mountain.
The monks who can come to the Second Level Mountain are naturally not simple people. They are all rare beings among the disciples of the Holy Tradition.
Ahead is a green stone wall a hundred feet high. On the stone wall, there are characters carved out with swords.
Compared with the words at the foot of the first level mountain, the words here contain more powerful sword power.
Just standing under the stone wall, the monks could feel the tingling pain on their skin, as if invisible sword energy was hitting their bodies.
Moreover, the writing on the stone wall is quite obscure and extremely difficult to understand.
There are even some characters that have never appeared in books. They are fonts and glyphs created by the sages of the Liangyi Sect.
Such words are called "holy texts".
In the crowd, Zhang Ruochen saw the figures of Xu Changsheng and Gai Hao. At this moment, Gai Hao was fighting with a translucent figure. The two were fighting hard and they were surrounded by sword energy.
After about thirty moves, Gai Hao was hit in the chest by a translucent figure's sword, tearing out a half-foot-long bloody gash, and was instantly defeated.
"Failed to break through."
The translucent figure turned into a word and flew back to the stone wall.
Gai Hao still failed to pass the first level of the second mountain.
However, his performance was affirmed by everyone present. With only the cultivation level of the third fish-dragon transformation, he was able to fight with the gatekeeper at the first level of the second mountain in more than thirty moves. Only the holy body could do so.
So powerful.
Gai Hao was defeated and immediately took the healing elixir and retreated to the side.
"As expected of the Holy Body. His swordsmanship has reached this stage at such a young age. In at least three years, Gai Hao should be able to pass the first level of the second mountain." A disciple of the Ninth Transformation of Fish-Dragon said.
This holy disciple is already eighty-five years old, but he looks like a middle-aged man. His cultivation is naturally quite profound, and one step forward gives people the feeling that the earth is collapsing.
He walked to the bottom of the stone wall and selected one of the words. Then, the words fell off and condensed into the figure of the gatekeeper.
"Bang bang."
After fighting for sixteen consecutive moves, this disciple of the ninth transformation of the fish-dragon was beaten away by the gatekeeper.
Challenge failed.
Although this holy disciple of the ninth fish-dragon transformation had profound cultivation, his understanding of the sword was not as good as Gai Hao's third fish-dragon transformation, so he only blocked sixteen moves of the gatekeeper.
From this, we can also see how abnormal the test of the second mountain is. Even the disciples of the Holy Body and the Ninth Transformation of Fish and Dragon find it difficult to pass the first level.
Someone noticed Zhang Ruochen and the tall and thin man and said in surprise: "Hey! Two more newcomers have passed through the three passes of the first mountain and arrived here."
"It's interesting. Both of them are disciples of Changshengyuan. When did Changshengyuan become so powerful?"
"In the past thirty years, in every sect competition, Changshengyuan has almost always been ranked at the bottom. How is it possible that two geniuses can appear at once?"
The arrival of Zhang Ruochen and the tall and thin man caused quite a stir in the Second Level Mountain. After all, which monk who can come to the Second Level Mountain is not a famous figure?
The saintly disciples present turned their heads and looked over.
When Xu Changsheng saw Zhang Ruochen, he let out a soft snort. Obviously, Zhang Ruochen was able to come to the second mountain, which made him feel quite disdainful.
Finally, someone recognized the identity of the tall and thin man, his face changed slightly, and he immediately sent a message to all the disciples present.
"It turned out to be him."
After learning the identity of the tall and thin man, the other disciples of the Holy Tradition also looked surprised and uncertain, and immediately stepped away to make way for the tall and thin man.
There were only three people, but they still seemed calm and relaxed, and they did not have the slightest panic due to the arrival of the tall and thin man.
The first one is Xu Changsheng.
The second one is Qin Yufan standing under the stone wall.
The last person stood on the edge of the cliff in the distance. Her delicate body was covered by a layer of white clouds. Her figure was very slender, and her legs were straight and slender. Although the facial features on her face could not be seen clearly, she could still see her figure.
The soft curves of the silhouette.
Zhang Ruochen glanced at her from afar, and he could roughly guess her identity. She must be the proud daughter of heaven who had achieved the clarity of the sword's heart right after she was born, Qi Feiyu.
Xu Changsheng stared at the tall and thin man and said: "Candong, you are finally willing to return to the sect. I thought you would fight on the battlefield of the Ruins Realm for the rest of your life."
The tall and thin man said: "If it weren't for the sword discussion conference coming soon, I wouldn't have come back."
"Now that I'm back, let's have a fight!"
Xu Changsheng's voice contained a powerful sound wave, and surging holy energy surged out of his body. In an instant, behind him, a huge shadow of a martial spirit thirteen feet high was condensed.
"rustle!"
Suddenly, sand and rocks were flying at the foot of the second mountain, and the wind howled like hundreds of wind blades flying through the air.
Zhang Ruochen stood in the distance, watching quietly, and said to himself: "So he is the Blood Sword Candong, and he is indeed a strong opponent."
Although Zhang Ruochen has never fought against Candong, he can still sense how powerful this person is, which is simply unfathomable.
Then, Zhang Ruochen stared at Xu Changsheng again.
Xu Changsheng was younger than Candong, and he seemed to be full of fighting spirit. In fact, Zhang Ruochen found that Xu Changsheng's eyes were quite calm. This shows that this person is not an impulsive person, but a person with determination.
A brave and resourceful person.
Another powerful person.
Even Zhang Ruochen is a little anxious, wanting to see what it will be like when Xu Changsheng and Candong fight?
Facing Xu Changsheng's challenge, Candong seemed particularly calm and said: "I'm here to conquer the second level of the mountain. I don't want to waste my energy at the foot of the mountain. As long as you are strong enough, we will definitely have a chance to fight during the swordsmanship competition."
Xu Changsheng calmed down the fighting spirit in his body and said: "In this case, let's compete to see who can go further in the ancient sacred mountain."
Xu Changsheng walked to the bottom of the stone wall first, raised his head, glanced at the stone wall, and said: "Although I have already passed the first level of the second mountain, this time, I want to challenge two
Character."
The surrounding saint disciples were all shocked. No one expected that Xu Changsheng dared to challenge two words at once.
Two words, it is equivalent to him having to fight two gatekeepers alone. Compared with challenging one gatekeeper, the difficulty is more than doubled.
"Is Xu Changsheng too confident in his swordsmanship?"
"Challenging two words at once should be a huge challenge for him."
"Wow!"
On the stone wall, the two words detached at the same time and turned into two translucent figures, attacking Xu Changsheng at the same time.
The three figures were fighting together in a fierce exchange. Except for Qin Yufan, Candong, and Qi Feiyu, the others all retreated far away, fearing that they would be accidentally injured by the sword energy.
Zhang Ruochen held his chin in his hand, observed for a moment, and said to himself: "If you want to pass this level, your swordsmanship level must at least reach the basic level of Sword Heart Transparency, and you must also cultivate Sword One to the third level."
According to Zhang Ruochen's judgment, Xu Changsheng has almost cultivated Jianyi to the fourth level. With his strength, he still has a certain chance of winning against the two gatekeepers at the same time.
Half an hour later, Xu Changsheng used a ghost-level sword technique to defeat the two gatekeepers and passed the level.
At some point, Han Qiu stood silently behind Zhang Ruochen, staring at Xu Changsheng in the distance with a pair of watery eyes, smiling with red lips and white teeth: "You can actually win with two words, challenge, Xu Changsheng
He must have cultivated Jianyi to the fourth level, it’s really amazing.”
Zhang Ruochen was not surprised at all that Han Qiu was able to pass the three levels of the first mountain.
Zhang Ruochen said without squinting: "Junior sister Han Qiu, you'd better stay away from me."
Han Qiu stared at him with resentful eyes and said, "You haven't always liked me. Why did you start to reject me again when I took the initiative to approach you? Are you no longer the cat who likes to steal sex?"
"Haven't you ever heard of the words 'beauties bring disaster'? If your senior brother Xu sees me getting so close to you, I'm afraid he'll say that I'm teasing you. In this case, wouldn't it be for no reason?
Are you going to become his love rival?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen felt a pair of sharp eyes staring at him, so he followed the eyes and met Xu Changsheng's eyes.
Zhang Ruochen smiled bitterly and said: "Look! Every time I get too close to you, I will always be hostile."
Han Qiu narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled slightly, and whispered in Zhang Ruochen's ear: "Originally, I had already decided to give you a chance to pursue me, but I didn't expect that you turned out to be a coward. Could it be that Xu Changsheng
Just one glance and you’re scared?”
Xu Changsheng stood under the stone wall and saw Zhang Ruochen and Han Qiu in the distance not only close to each other, but also talking and laughing, and he felt a feeling of jealousy in his heart.
However, he did not show that emotion. Instead, he showed an elegant smile on his face and said from a distance: "Junior brother Lin Yue, I heard that you merged the three ancestors' swords in succession during the coronation ceremony and founded the Liangyi Sect.
An unprecedented feat, I guess your talent in swordsmanship must be quite amazing. How many words are you going to challenge today?"
