Sword Firmament Sect, Ninth Mountain.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed since he arrived at the Ninth Mountain.
Fang Chen had a thorough understanding of the Sword Firmament Sect.
All the martial artists in the Sword Firmament Sect were sword cultivators.
The Ninth Mountain was filled with Illusory Sword Principle cultivators.
In the Ninth Mountain, the strongest disciple among the younger generation was only at Heaven Star Border Stage One.
Under normal circumstances, those who could reach Heaven Star Border Stage Two would be able to become a disciple of the Sword Mountain.
The Sword Mountain was above the Ninth Mountain and was controlled by the Sect Leader.
Every disciple of the Ninth Mountain wished to join the Sword Mountain.
Once they became a disciple of the Sword Mountain, they would have a chance to compete for the position of the Sect Leader.
This was very important to every sword cultivator.
There were also Heaven Star Border Stage Three disciples in the Sword Firmament Sect, but they were all cultivating.
The reason why there were no disciples of the Sword Firmament Sect when the Demon Sword acted strangely was because the Sect Leader had ordered them not to go there.
Only he knew that with the current strength of the Sword Firmament Sect disciples, it was impossible for them to gain the recognition of the Demon Sword.
On the Ninth Mountain, in Fang Chen's courtyard.
The sun shone on the ground, making people feel exceptionally comfortable.
Fang Chen, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes.
During this period of cultivation, he had already grasped the basics of the Heart Illusory Sword Principle.
The Heart Illusory Sword Principle was very magical and difficult to cultivate.
Fortunately, Fang Chen was already a cultivator of the Illusory Sword Principle. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for him to get started.
Once he got started, it would be much easier to cultivate.
Today, the Ninth Mountain was going to hold a disciple assembly to allow the new and old disciples to integrate.
Fang Chen arrived at the square of the Ninth Mountain at the appointed time.
At this moment, all the disciples had arrived.
Upon seeing Fang Chen's arrival, the Ninth Mountain Lord's eyes flashed with a hint of excitement.
However, she was soon under his control.
The surrounding elders did not notice the abnormality in the Ninth Mountain Lord's eyes.
"In the blink of an eye, it has been some time since everyone came to the Ninth Mountain. Today, I want to test everyone's cultivation of the Basic Sword Principle," the Ninth Mountain Lord said loudly.
In the following period of time, one new disciple after another stepped onto the Martial Arts Stage and displayed their basic sword techniques.
Among them, there were some outstanding disciples.
However, most of the disciples had not even reached the Perfect Realm of Basic Swordsmanship, let alone the Transcendent Realm.
After an hour, it was finally Fang Chen's turn.
Some of the older disciples scoffed at the new disciples.
"This batch of new disciples is too weak. None of them have reached the Transcendent State."
"That's right. He couldn't even cultivate his Basic Sword Techniques to the Transformation Stage in half a month. How could such a person become a disciple of the Sword Firmament Sect?"
Many senior disciples were secretly expressing their dissatisfaction.
As Fang Chen ascended the stage, the Ninth Mountain Lord could no longer sit still.
The weak-looking man in front of him was even stronger than the Sword Firmament Sect's Sect Leader.
Huala
Fang Chen began to perform the Basic Swordsmanship, and it didn't take long for him to finish performing the Basic Swordsmanship smoothly.
Instantly, the entire square was filled with exclamations.
"This kid actually managed to cultivate his Basic Sword Techniques to the Transformation Stage."
Many of the older disciples were in disbelief.
On the other hand, some of the new disciples sighed. No wonder he was ranked third among the new disciples. His comprehension was too strong.
However, the crowd was only slightly surprised.
After all, it was just a Basic Sword Technique.
After all the disciples had finished performing, the Ninth Mountain Lord nodded his head.
Finally, it was time for the new and old disciples to spar.
The strongest disciple in the Ninth Mountain was a Peak Mystic King Realm disciple. There were no Heaven Star Border Stage One disciples.
"I, Wu Shan, challenge the new disciples."
Suddenly, a senior disciple called Wu Shan announced that he wanted to challenge the new disciples.
Some of the new disciples who thought they were strong went up the stage and challenged Wu Shan.
Soon, they were defeated by Wu Shan.
"Who else?"
Wu Shan's face was filled with arrogance as he asked coldly.
After seeing how powerful Wu Shan was, none of the new disciples dared to challenge him.
Everyone retreated when Wu Shan looked at them.
Only Fang Chen remained in his spot without moving.
"You are Sanguinati, right?" Wu Shan asked as he looked at Fang Chen.
"So what if I am?" Fang Chen retorted.
"I heard that you are ranked third among the new disciples. I want to challenge you. Do you dare to accept?" Wu Shan laughed.
Among all the new disciples, only Sanguinati had mastered the Basic Sword Technique to the Perfection Stage. His goal was to challenge Wu Shan.
Previously, when he attacked the other new disciple, it was just to intimidate the new disciple.
Hearing this, Fang Chen shook his head and said, "You are no match for me."
Fang Chen's words shocked many of the new disciples.
Some of the older disciples even snorted.
"Hmph, pretentious."
On the martial arts stage, Wu Shan's face was completely gloomy.
"Kid, you are too arrogant." Wu Shan said coldly, "If a battle can be won by talking, you will definitely win."
Wu Shan's mockery made Fang Chen unhappy.
Then, he raised his head and looked at Wu Shan with his pitch-black eyes. He asked softly, "Do you really want to challenge me?"
Wu Shan nodded and said, "Of course, if you don't dare to accept the challenge, you can choose not to."
"Since you want to fight, I will grant you your wish."
As soon as Fang Chen finished speaking, he leaped onto the Martial Arts Practice Platform.
Before Wu Shan could make a move, he was blasted out of the arena by Fang Chen's punch.
"You lost."
Wu Shan, who was on the ground, was furious.
However, Fang Chen's voice drifted into his ears.
The older disciple who had mocked Sanguinati looked at Fang Chen with a different gaze.
This new disciple was quite strong.
Wu Shan was at the ninth level of the Profound King Realm. This person was at least a half-step to the Heaven Star Border Realm to be able to send him flying with one punch.
"Sneak attack? What kind of skill is that?"
Wu Shan roared angrily.
"You can challenge me again if you sneak attack me," Fang Chen said casually.
"You!"
Wu Shan wanted to challenge Fang Chen again, but he was stopped by a half-step to the Heaven Star Border Realm martial artist.
"Wu Shan, you are not his match."
After this person finished speaking, he walked straight up to the martial arts stage.
"Wu Shan is my brother," the man with thick eyebrows said.
"So you want to stand up for him?"
Fang Chen asked.
"I want to challenge you," the man with thick eyebrows said.
Fang Chen was about to make a move, but he was stopped by a voice.
"Let's end it here."
The person who spoke was the Ninth Mountain Lord.
From the way Fang Chen defeated Wu Shan with one punch, the Ninth Mountain Lord knew that Wu Tian was no match for Fang Chen.
However, he did not point it out.
"The Disciples' Grand Competition is in three months. You can fight then," the Ninth Mountain Lord said.
Although Wu Tian wanted to make a move, he did not dare to disobey the Ninth Mountain Lord's order.
In the end, he glared at Sanguinati and left the stage.
Fang Chen felt that his Illusory Sword Principle had improved greatly while cultivating on the Ninth Mountain.
However, one day, the Ninth Mountain Lord came looking for him.
"Sanguinati, there is a mission for you," the Ninth Mountain Lord said.
"What mission?" Fang Chen asked.
"There are some robbers at the northeastern border of the Sealed Sky City. You need to kill them," the Ninth Mountain Lord said.
"I have already investigated. They are all Mystic King Realm martial artists. You should be able to deal with them."
"When do we leave?" Fang Chen asked.
"Let's leave today."
With that, the Ninth Mountain Lord passed the information regarding the mission to Fang Chen and left.
Fang Chen packed up and left the Sword Mountain.
As soon as Fang Chen left the Sword Mountain, Wu Shan and Wu Tian knew about it.
"Big Brother, what should we do?" Wu Shan asked in a courtyard.
"Inform those guys," Wu Tian said.
Wu Shan's eyes lit up.
After leaving the Sword Mountain, Fang Chen went as fast as he could to the northeast where the robbers were.
The closer he got to the robbers, the more he could see that there were many refugees fleeing in the direction of the Sealed Sky City.
Not long after, Fang Chen arrived at the robbers' area.
"If the information is correct, the robbers should be in this area."
At a glance, there were endless mountains in front of him.
According to the information, the robbers were in the mountains and would occasionally rob ordinary martial artists on the official road.
In front of Fang Chen was an official road.
Fang Chen slowly walked on the official road. This place was desolate and uninhabited. There was not a single soul in sight.
However, just as Fang Chen was about to reach the endless mountains, the robbers finally appeared.
"Brat, leave behind your wealth and we can spare your life," said one of the robbers coldly.
Another robber held a warblade in his hand and emitted a fiendish aura.
However, what surprised them was that when Fang Chen raised his head, there was a smile on his face.
"They've finally appeared?"
Fang Chen had been waiting for the robbers to appear. But after waiting for so long, they finally appeared.
"Brat, you're courting death!"
The robber with the warblade felt that something was wrong and immediately swung his warblade at Fang Chen.
Bang bang bang!
After four punches, the four robbers were instantly killed.
"They're just some small fries."
Fang Chen muttered to himself. Then he entered the endless mountain range alone.
Arriving at the mountain range, Fang Chen saw several patrolling robbers.
This time, he killed a few of them and left one alive.
"You only have one chance. Tell me everything about your base," said Fang Chen coldly.
"Sir, please spare my life. I'll tell you now."
This bandit was scared witless by Fang Chen's ruthless methods. He told Fang Chen everything about the bandit's lair.
Puchi!
After receiving the news, Fang Chen directly killed him.
"Deep in the mountains?"
There were 50 people in this robber group. Among them, the two leaders were the strongest and had reached the limit of the Mystic King Realm.
However, they were nothing to be afraid of.
With Fang Chen's strength, he could destroy this robber group in minutes.
