A flash of disappointment flashed in Lin Qianxue's eyes, and she silently took the Full Moon Scimitar.
I am not qualified to let him draw a knife, nor am I qualified to let him use a knife.
"Don't suppress your spiritual power, use all your strength to draw the sword." Zhang Chen said calmly.
Lin Qianxue's beautiful eyes instantly regained their radiance, and she suddenly remembered that Zhang Chen was in the Body Tempering Realm, and reminded her, "Qianxue has reached the seventh level of the Soul Condensation Realm."
Zhang Chen's sword skills are far better than his own, but he is two realms higher than him, so he is worried about hurting him in a real duel.
"It doesn't matter." Zhang Chen said confidently.
Lin Zhengran and the ten elders all took a breath of air. A real duel is different from a sword competition. There is no trickery. It is a reflection of true combat power.
Is it possible that Zhang Chen, who is in the Body Tempering Realm, is sure to defeat Lin Qianxue, who is at the seventh level of Yunling Realm?
How is this possible?
"Junior brother, be careful."
Lin Qianxue no longer hesitated.
The knife comes out.
There were heavy waves of knives, and the space made a "boom boom boom" sound.
Without suppressing spiritual power, Lin Qianxue's sword was faster and stronger.
Dang——
Zhang Chen drew his sword and took it out casually to block Lin Qianxue's sword.
"Hiss."
"Really blocked!"
Lin Zhengran and the ten elders' eyes shone brightly. Zhang Chen had combat power in the Body Tempering Realm that was comparable to the Yunling Realm. What a monster he is!
"Knife, the overlord of arms."
Zhang Chen remained motionless in the wave of knives. He held his left hand behind his back and drew the sword with his right hand. He lightly blocked Lin Qianxue's heavy wave of knives and said in a domineering voice:
"The full-moon scimitar, the magic in the sword, catches the enemy by surprise and cuts them off guard."
"If you have domineering intention in your heart, you will have domineering power when you draw your sword. With a sword in your hand, you will dominate the world."
……
When Lin Qianxue heard Zhang Chen's true understanding of the art of swordsmanship, her beautiful eyes shone brightly and her sword power became even more fierce.
……
"Use dominance to control the sword, and use magic to use the sword to kill immortals, demons, and great avenues."
Boom——
Lin Qianxue made one final slash and collided with Zhang Chen's long knife, causing a loud noise.
The sword energy is raging.
The Xuanyang Hall was overwhelmed by the sword intent.
Lin Qianxue's eyes were closed tightly, and the sword intent on her body was looming, sometimes violently, sometimes restrained.
Lin Zhengran and the ten elders were so shocked that they could not speak. Even after listening to Zhang Chen's true understanding of the Dao of the Sword, they could draw parallels and feel that their understanding of the Dao had reached a higher level.
Boom, boom, boom.
Lin Qianxue suddenly opened her eyes, and a domineering sword intent burst out from her body. The Full Moon Scimitar came out of her hand, spinning in the air, causing a roar.
"Thank you, junior brother, for your advice."
After Lin Qianxue vented her inner sword intention, the scimitar flew back into its sheath, and she handed it over in gratitude.
Zhang Chen accepted it calmly, took out a bottle of body-tempering dragon blood and handed it to her and said, "When you practice sword practice, apply it on your palms, and the calluses on your hands will disappear."
Lin Qianxue thought of Zhang Chen grabbing her wrist just now and seeing the thick callus in his palm, her face turned slightly red, she took the body-tempering dragon blood and said, "Thank you, junior brother."
She didn't know how precious the body-tempering dragon's blood was, otherwise she wouldn't have accepted it so easily.
"Ahem." Lin Zhengran coughed lightly and said to Lin Qianxue with a kind smile, "Qianxue, actually you and Zhang Chen have known each other for a long time."
"Junior brother Zhang and I have known each other for a long time?" Lin Qianxue looked at Zhang Chen with a puzzled face, but she had no impression at all.
"Senior sister saved junior brother seven years ago and brought Xuanyang Zongde with her. Have you forgotten, senior sister?" Zhang Chen said with a smile.
In Zhang Chen's memory, his hometown was robbed by horse thieves seven years ago, and it was Lin Qianxue who passed by and rescued Zhang Chen.
He grew up from twelve years old to nineteen years old. He changed so much that Lin Qianxue did not recognize him.
Lin Qianxue's appearance remained basically unchanged, and Zhang Chen recognized her immediately as soon as he entered Xuanyang Hall.
That's why he taught her the true knowledge of the sword and the precious body-tempering dragon blood when they first met.
Xuanyang Sect wanted to promote Zhang Chen to a true disciple, so they naturally wanted to investigate his background, so Lin Zhengran knew that Zhang Chen and Lin Qianxue had such a connection.
"Luo Qingchen, who ranked first in the outer sect's assessment, was promoted to core disciple."
"Zhang Chen, who ranked second in the outer sect examination, was promoted to true disciple."
"Zhang Chen, who was still in the Body Tempering Realm, punched to death Zhao Changkong, who was at the eighth level of the Qi Sea Realm."
Three big news spread quickly in Xuanyang Sect.
Compared with the first two messages, the third message seems insignificant.
Xuanyang Sect is a sixth-grade force, with five thousand outer disciples, four hundred inner disciples, thirty-six core disciples, and only three true disciples.
Zhang Chen suddenly became the fourth true disciple, which made the core disciples very unconvinced. They all wanted to find opportunities to challenge Zhang Chen and prove that they were more qualified than him to become a true disciple.
However, Zhang Chen has been practicing in seclusion since he left Xuanyang Hall that day, ignoring the arguments from the outside world.
Luo Qingchen, who became a core disciple, was completely different from Zhang Chen, who was in seclusion.
She fights every day, from the Qi Sea realm to the Yun Ling realm.
Win all ten battles.
In the tenth battle, facing a core disciple of the second level of the Yunling Realm, he created his own sword move "Sword One" and defeated the enemy with one move, breaking into the Qi Sea Realm.
On the eleventh day, Luo Qingchen became the fifth true disciple of Xuanyang Sect, and no one was dissatisfied.
It is said that when Luo Qingchen became a true disciple, the sect leader wanted to accept her as a closed disciple.
But after discussing swordsmanship with her for three days, he sighed and never mentioned the matter of accepting a disciple again.
A month passed in a blink of an eye.
In the Xuanyang Hall, the five true disciples and the thirty-six core disciples gathered together.
This is also the first time Zhang Chen has appeared in front of everyone since he became a true disciple.
Dressed in white, he looks as cool as jade, and his handsome face is a bit unruly.
"Junior Brother Zhang."
"Senior Brother Zhang."
When Lin Qianxue and Luo Qingchen saw Zhang Chen approaching, they saluted and said hello at the same time.
The other two direct disciples already knew Zhang Chen's evil nature from their master, and they all greeted him with a smile.
Even if some of the thirty-six core disciples were dissatisfied, they still had to shout in unison according to the sect rules, "Senior Brother Zhang."
Not long after, Lin Zhengran led the four elders into the hall, took their seats, and said straight to the point: "In seven days, the Dutian Secret Realm will be opened, and all the elite forces in the Northern Territory can send twelve disciples below the Soul Palace realm to enter for training.
”
"There are many treasures in the secret realm, and there are even heaven-level treasures."
When everyone heard about the heaven-level treasure, their eyes shone brightly.
The entire Xuanyang Sect does not have a single heaven-level treasure.
Lin Zhengran caught their expressions in his eyes and said in a deep voice, "The Dutian Secret Realm is divided into twelve entrances, forming the Twelve Dutian Divine Evil Arrays. It is extremely dangerous. Not only do you have to face the dangers of the secret realm itself, but you also have to face the dangers of the major forces.
In the competition for power, there are unparalleled geniuses who are in the third level of power, and there are also peerless monsters from the Holy Land and the Divine Dynasty."
"Disciples who are willing to participate in the Dutian Secret Realm experience should take one step forward."
Tianyuan Continent has many sects, families, and dynasties with major forces, divided into nine ranks. The first rank is the most respected, and the ninth rank is at the end.
The forces beyond the first level are respected as the Holy Land Dynasty.
Many disciples fell into deep thought after hearing this. In their past experiences, they basically faced disciples from middle and third-grade forces, which was already very dangerous.
Let them face the monsters of the upper third level, or even the holy land and dynasty, without any confidence.
Treasures are tempting, but they must be enjoyed with a life.
Ta-ta-ta-
In the end, eighteen core disciples took a step forward.
Only one of the five direct disciples did not want to participate.
Lin Zhengran looked at Zhang Chen and said, "Zhang Chen, you will lead the team for this experience. You select eleven people from them to enter the Dutian Secret Realm together."
Everyone was dumbfounded after hearing this. Not only did the sect leader want Zhang Chen to lead the team, he also wanted Zhang Chen to select people!
Zhang Chen said calmly, "When I lead the team, as long as those who obey my orders completely can stand behind me."
"This..."
The disciples who originally wanted to participate in the training were hesitant, which was equivalent to giving their lives to Zhang Chen.
Luo Qingchen, Lin Qianxue, and another direct disciple stood behind Zhang Chen without hesitation.
Some of the core disciples gradually made up their minds to participate in the training and stood behind Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen calmly waited for them to choose. When the eleventh person stood behind him, he said to Lin Zhengran, "It's just them."
Lin Zhengran nodded with satisfaction and said sternly, "This Dutian Secret Realm experience will be attended by twelve of you. Zhang Chen is the captain, and the others must obey his orders."
"Yes, Sect Master." Eleven people said in unison.
"Disciple is not convinced, why should Zhang Chen be chosen as captain?"
Some of the ten core disciples who were unwilling to obey Zhang Chen's orders looked at Zhang Chen unwillingly and shouted.
He is at the sixth level of Yunling Realm, and his strength ranks among the top three among the core disciples.
Another person echoed, "That's right, even if Zhang Chen is gifted as a monster, he is only in the Body Tempering Realm. The secret realm experience relies on true strength rather than talent."
"Even I can't take a blow from Junior Brother Zhang." Lin Qianxue was the first to stand up, looking at the two of them with stern eyes and said, "You must defeat me first before you have the right to question Junior Brother Zhang's strength."
"Is this possible?"
The disciple who questioned Zhang Chen looked at Lin Qianxue in disbelief. Her strength was much stronger than his own. She couldn't even take Zhang Chen's sword. How powerful should Zhang Chen be?
Is he in the Body Tempering Realm or the Soul Palace Realm?
The Dutian Secret Realm is opened, and all the major forces in the Northern Territory are swarming into action.
Xuanyang Sect is just an insignificant small sect in the Northern Territory, barely squeezed into the middle and third-level forces.
After deciding on the candidates, Elder Qiu of the Soul Palace Realm escorted them to the nearest entrance the next day.
In addition to Zhang Chen, Luo Qingchen, and Lin Qianxue, there is another direct disciple named Nangong Shang, who is at the eighth level of Yunling Realm and has the highest level among the twelve.
There is a scar on his face from his forehead to the corner of his mouth. He looks very ferocious and silent all the way.
The other eight core disciples, five men and three women, are all at the first to fifth level of Yunling Realm.
After they heard Lin Qianxue say that they couldn't even take Zhang Chen's sword, they became very curious about this true disciple of the Body Tempering Realm, and waited with great expectation to see his true strength in the secret realm.
"That's the entrance, and it will open at noon tomorrow." Elder Qiu piloted the flying boat and led twelve people to land on the peaks surrounding the entrance to Dutian Secret Realm.
There are already several elders and disciples from other forces at the top of the peak. Everyone occupies a position and does not invade each other.
The entrance to Dutian Secret Realm is a gray disk, which is calm and calm without any power fluctuations.
Twenty consecutive peaks surround the entrance.
Major forces descended on the mountain one after another.
After Zhang Chen landed on the mountain peak, he sat cross-legged and meditated to practice the "Dragon Elephant Prison Suppressing Technique".
After a month of seclusion in the Xuanyang Sect, all the body-tempering dragon blood has been refined, and it has broken through to the fifth level. At the same time, I feel that I have touched the limit of the body-tempering realm.
If you practice step by step, when the "Dragon Elephant Prison Suppression Kung Fu" reaches the sixth level, you will break through the limits of the physical body and break through the Qi Sea realm.
But this is not what he wants.
The sixth level of physical strength can crush the powerful ones in the Immortal Ascension Realm, but it is still inferior to some of the powerful bloodlines and special physiques he knows.
It is far from reaching his crazy plan to perfect the "Dragon Elephant Prison Suppressing Technique" to the thirteenth level in the body tempering realm.
He is not in a hurry to continue to break through the "Dragon Elephant Prison Suppressing Technique", but is constantly using the power of the Dragon Elephant to temper every cell in his body.
When other disciples saw Zhang Chen practicing so diligently, they all silently sat cross-legged and practiced.
It was near noon the next day.
Qiu Changlong said seriously, "The Dutian secret realm will be opened soon. After you enter the secret realm, all actions will be subject to Zhang Chen's command."
"Yes, elder." Eleven people replied in unison.
"Focus on experience, don't force treasures." Qiu Changlong patted Zhang Chen's shoulder, "Take them and come back alive."
"Okay." Zhang Chen said lightly, his voice full of affirmation.
Roar——
A roar.
The huge two-winged bull-shaped beast covered the sky and flew towards it. The beast's power made the disciples of all the major forces tremble.
"The monster Tuoba Ye of the first-level beast-controlling sect, that giant beast Qi Niu is his battle pet. It is rumored that it has the blood of the ancient beast Qi Qiu." Elder Qiu introduced to Zhang Chen fearfully, "The strongest one near this entrance is
The only force is the Beast Control Sect. There are also two second-grade forces and three third-grade forces, but they have not arrived yet."
Tuoba Ye stood on the giant beast Qi Niu, looked at the major forces on the mountain with a look of disdain, and shouted majestically, "Now I give you a chance, you can choose to follow the Beast Control Sect into the secret realm, obey my command, and
Will be protected by the Beast Control Sect."
There was a commotion among all the major forces on the mountain, and some low-level forces chose to follow the Beast Control Sect without hesitation.
Suddenly.
A shocking sword intent came from the south.
The long swords in the hands of sword cultivators from all major forces trembled with fear.
A sword light flew over.
There are thirty-six people standing on the huge flying sword, which is parked on the south side above the entrance, far away from Tuoba Ye.
"The second-rank force Tianjian Sect, the third-rank force Qingteng Sword Academy and the Lingbei Wei Family, it seems that the disciples of these three forces will form an alliance in the Dutian Secret Realm."
Immediately afterwards, bursts of rumbling sounds came from the west.
The leader is a black knight in black armor, whose appearance is difficult to see, followed by twenty-three identical black knights in black armor.
"The extra twelve Shenyuan Black Riders from the Gu Yue Dynasty, a second-level force, should be members of the Fang family, a third-level force loyal to the Gu Yue Dynasty."
Elder Qiu introduced the six upper-third-level forces one by one.
Zhang Chen doesn't care. In front of him, there is no difference between the upper third-level forces and the lower third-level forces.
The six upper-third-level forces were not escorted by elders. They were divided into three camps, facing each other far away.
The leaders of Tianjian Sect and Gu Yue Dynasty also sent invitations to the major forces on the mountain, asking them to join their camp.
The major forces on the mountain gradually joined the three-party camp.
Even though some of them are worried that the purpose of allowing them to join the Beast Control Sect, Tianjian Sect, and Gu Yue Dynasty is not pure.
But seeing more and more people in the three camps, they were so weak that they had no choice but to compromise and join.
"Zhang Chen, do you want to choose a camp to join?"
Elder Qiu asked uneasily when he saw that Zhang Chen had no intention of joining the three-party camp.
