The First Elder's expression was unprecedentedly serious. He was well aware of how terrifying Fang Chen's potential was.
After Fang Chen had displayed his talent, the First Elder knew that Fang Chen's true strength was enough to kill a martial artist in the Fourth Realm of the Qi Transformation Realm.
Giving up the Dragon Army for Fang Chen was nothing.
The First Elder's words were unquestionable.
"Fang Chen's one-month agreement with the Dragon Army will be carried out as scheduled," the First Elder said in a low voice.
Fang Chen grinned. The First Elder knew that he wanted to kill the Dragon Army. If it had been in the beginning, the First Elder would not have allowed it.
However, after Fang Chen displayed his extraordinary talent and strength, the First Elder tacitly agreed to it.
This was a world where the strong were respected. As long as you were strong enough, there would be many people willing to turn a blind eye and even spare no effort to help you.
"First Elder." The two elders wanted to say something, but the First Elder stopped them.
The news of Fang Chen challenging the Battle Dragon Army spread quickly in the intermediate district.
When the Dragon Army heard the news, his first reaction was that Fang Chen had no right to challenge him.
But when he heard that Fang Chen had become an intermediate disciple, he was filled with doubts. How could Fang Chen have become an intermediate disciple?
"Damn it, he actually became an intermediate disciple," the Dragon Army said coldly.
Besides the Dragon Army, Yuwen Batian was also a little surprised. He did not expect Fang Chen to enter the intermediate district earlier than he had expected.
"Even if you enter the intermediate district, you are still no match for me," Yuwen Batian said confidently.
The other intermediate disciples were used to this kind of thing. They did not know Fang Chen and did not know how strong Fang Chen was. They only thought that Fang Chen had entered the intermediate district because his cultivation had reached a certain level.
Fang Chen did not care about the deathmatch. Dragon Army was no match for him. If he wanted to kill him, it would be too easy.
Right now, he needed to find Yuan Soldiers.
Fang Chen went to the Weapon Hall in the Intermediate Zone to purchase Yuan Soldiers.
Aside from ordinary soldiers, there were also some Yuan Soldiers in the Weapon Hall of the Intermediate Area. However, they were all very expensive.
"Silver Dragon Sword, one million mid-grade spirit stones."
"Golden Piercing Sword, two million mid-grade spirit stones."
Fang Chen did a rough check. Most of the Yuan Soldiers were worth more than a million Medial Grade Spirit Stones. He was flabbergasted. Yuan Soldiers were too precious.
However, just as Fang Chen was casually looking around, he discovered a dust-covered sword in a corner of the Weapon Hall.
This sword attracted Fang Chen's attention.
Rather than saying that it attracted Fang Chen, it was more accurate to say that it attracted the golden heart.
When Fang Chen discovered the long sword, the golden heart slightly jumped. Fang Chen's face was overjoyed, but he calmly walked to a corner and carefully looked at the long sword.
"Is this sword a Yuan Dynasty weapon?" Fang Chen asked.
"This sword is a defective product refined by Master Cang Yun. It's not a Yuan Dynasty weapon," the staff said.
Fang Chen frowned slightly and immediately said, "What's his price?"
"Are you sure you want to buy it? This sword has been here for many years. No one is willing to spend a large amount of spirit stones to buy a defective product," the staff reminded.
"His price is very cheap. One hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones."
Fang Chen pondered for a moment and decided to trust the golden heart.
"Alright, I'll take this sword," Fang Chen said.
The staff's face was filled with disbelief. However, since Fang Chen was willing to buy it, he couldn't say anything. In the end, he packed up the sword for Fang Chen.
After paying the hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones, Fang Chen took the long sword away.
After returning to the courtyard, Fang Chen took out the long sword and began to carefully look at it.
"It can cause the golden heart to shake slightly. It shouldn't be simple," Fang Chen said softly.
Then Fang Chen began to look at the sword. On the hilt of the sword, there were two small characters: Qingyun.
"It should be called Qingyun Sword," Fang Chen said.
Then Fang Chen discovered some azure clouds on the sword. He nodded slightly. It seemed this Qingyun Sword had indeed been refined by Master Cang Yun.
Master Cang Yun was an extremely famous refining grandmaster within the Divine Wind Nation. He was able to refine Yuan Dynasty weapons. Any Sect within the Divine Wind Nation that wanted Yuan Dynasty weapons had to buy them from him.
"I wonder why a defective product refined by Master Cang Yun would end up in Kamikaze Kenbu." Fang Chen was a bit puzzled.
However, no one knew about this matter, so he didn't think too much about it.
Fang Chen held the Qingyun Sword and gently waved it around. He discovered that although it was a defective product, its power was still equivalent to a high grade Mortal Weapon.
"There should be something special about this Qingyun Sword. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to attract the golden heart." Fang Chen was puzzled.
However, just as Fang Chen held the Qingyun Sword in his hand and was puzzled, the golden heart suddenly started beating rapidly. A clear stream of energy appeared and flowed through Fang Chen's palm into the Qingyun Sword.
Crack!
The body of the Green Cloud Sword emitted a sword cry. In the next moment, all the rust on the Green Cloud Sword fell off.
In just a moment, a brand new Qingyun Sword appeared in front of Fang Chen. Fang Chen was a bit startled, but in the next moment, Fang Chen became excited.
"How is this possible?!"
Fang Chen was incomparably excited. He was already incoherent.
At this moment, Fang Chen discovered that the defective Qingyun Sword had become a Yuan Dynasty weapon.
"It must be the golden heart," concluded Fang Chen.
To be able to turn a defective Qingyun Sword into a Yuan Dynasty weapon, even if it was only a low grade one, was enough to prove how mysterious the golden heart was.
"So that's how it is."
Fang Chen was incomparably excited. This was probably the reason why the golden heart had told him to choose the Qingyun Sword.
"A hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones for a low grade Yuan Dynasty weapon. What a great deal," laughed Fang Chen.
The defective Qingyun Sword had been in the Weapon Hall for many years without anyone asking about it. Now that it was in Fang Chen's hands, it instantly became a low grade Yuan Dynasty weapon.
"With the Qingyun Sword, I'll definitely be able to easily kill Long Jun." Fang Chen said.
A day later, Fang Chen arrived at the middle zone's Life and Death Arena as scheduled and waited for Long Jun.
There were also a few disciples in the middle zone who had come to watch the two of them fight to the death.
Time passed by slowly. In the blink of an eye, 15 minutes had passed. Finally, the Dragon Army arrived while they were waiting.
Long Jun's eyes were filled with rage.
"Fang Chen, are you in such a hurry to die?" asked Long Jun coldly as he stepped onto the Life and Death Arena.
"Are you so confident that you can kill me?" Fang Chen sneered. "If it weren't for the two elders protecting you, you would have died a month ago."
Hearing Fang Chen's words, Long Jun was even more furious.
There weren't many disciples who came to watch the fight, but Yuwen Batian was among them. He looked at Fang Chen thoughtfully and didn't say anything.
On the rostrum, the primary zone's First Elder had also arrived, along with the Second and Third Elders. Of course, there was also an elder from the middle zone.
"You should know the rules of the fight to the death. I won't say much. Let the fight begin," said an elder.
"Long Jun, I've let you live for another month. Now, it's time for you to die."
As soon as Fang Chen finished speaking, the Qingyun Sword suddenly appeared in his hand. In the next moment, the Taiyi Dispersing Sword was instantly executed.
The sixth level of the Taiyi Dispersing Sword was extremely powerful.
The current Fang Chen was much stronger than he had been a month ago. Although he was only at the Second Realm of the Qi Transformation Realm, he had no problem dealing with Long Jun, who was at the Fourth Realm of the Qi Transformation Realm.
When Fang Chen activated the power of the Second Realm of the Qi Transformation Realm, some of the disciples below the Life and Death Arena were displeased.
"He's only at the Second Realm of the Qi Transformation Realm, yet he's able to become a middle zone disciple."
"That's right. How could someone like him enter the middle zone? Did he pull some strings?"
"Hmph, how shameless. It's one thing for a Second Realm of the Qi Transformation Realm to enter the middle zone, but he's so high-profile. He's really looking for death."
"I'd like to see what he's capable of to enter the middle zone." Many disciples were dissatisfied with Fang Chen's entry into the middle zone.
The middle zone elders on the rostrum also noticed this and turned to look at the First Elder.
"Old Mo, the disciple I recommended won't have any problems. Just watch and see," the First Elder said confidently.
The elder called Old Mo nodded slightly and turned to continue watching the battle.
"Fang Chen, you'll regret your decision," Long Jun roared angrily.
He used the Bloodthirsty Swordsmanship again. The current Long Jun was much stronger than he had been a month ago.
"Bloodthirsty Swordsmanship."
After the Dragon Army entered the Intermediate Region, they bought a Yuan Soldier. However, it was a low-grade Yuan Soldier.
Bang!
The Qingyun Sword collided with the Long Sword of the Dragon Army, producing a deafening sound.
Long Jun's body kept retreating. He thought that he could suppress Fang Chen with weapons, but he didn't expect him to have a low-grade Common Weapon.
"Damn it!"
The Dragon Army roared and engaged in a fierce battle with Fang Chen once again.
However, in the following battle, Fang Chen gradually gained the upper hand and began to suppress Long Jun.
After a while, Fang Chen completely suppressed Long Jun, leaving him with no way to resist.
On the rostrum, the First Elder smiled and said, "Old Mo, what do you think? I didn't lie to you, right?"
Old Mo nodded, acknowledging Fang Chen for the first time.
At this time, countless disciples below the Survival Ring had gone from disdain to surprise. A Second Realm of the Qi Transformation Realm disciple could suppress Long Jun.
"This kid has some strength, but Long Jun is too weak," someone said.
Bang bang bang!
After Fang Chen gained the upper hand in the Survival Ring, he didn't want to waste any time. He immediately used the sixth level of the Taiyi Dispersing Sword and activated the sword force.
The tyrannical sword light pierced towards Long Jun.
