reax;
Sanguinati's return made Wu Shan very worried.
However, Wu Tian was shocked.
So what if Sanguinati returned? He had no evidence to prove that they were related to Red Head Blade.
'Hmph, he's lucky,' Wu Tian thought to himself.
Fang Chen's gains from this mission were shocking.
It was very difficult to improve his perfect sword body.
However, after absorbing that heart-like thing, he had successfully improved it.
The improvement of the perfect sword body brought Fang Chen many benefits.
The most obvious was that his understanding of the Sword Dao had deepened.
After returning, Fang Chen cultivated the Heart Illusion Sword Technique every day.
One day.
Fang Chen, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes.
He stood up abruptly, held the Hidden Star Sword in his hand, and directly performed the Heart Illusion Sword Technique.
The illusory aura around him instantly spread out, and countless resplendent sword lights appeared in the sky.
Swoosh.
Under Fang Chen's control, the sword lights blasted towards the ground.
Finally, Fang Chen put away the Hidden Star Sword, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Perfect Realm."
The Heart Illusion Sword Technique was very difficult to cultivate, and to be able to cultivate it to the Perfect Realm in an extremely short period of time was already very heaven-defying.
After calming himself down, Fang Chen calculated the time. It was about time for the disciples' competition of the Ninth Mountain.
After cultivating the Heart Illusion Sword Technique to the Perfect Realm, Fang Chen believed that no one among the disciples of the Ninth Mountain could defeat him.
His goal was the Sword Mountain, and the disciples of the Ninth Mountain were nothing to him.
The disciples' competition of the Ninth Mountain was finally about to begin.
The square was filled with disciples.
Their eyes were burning with excitement.
Whether they could stand out and be noticed by the higher-ups depended on this.
Many martial artists joined the Sword Firmament Sect to improve their cultivation and be noticed by the higher-ups.
Once they were noticed by the higher-ups, they would receive a large amount of resources, and their cultivation would be twice the result with half the effort.
The Ninth Mountain Lord personally presided over the competition. He stood on the rostrum with a smile on his face as he looked around. Then, he said, "The disciples' competition of the Ninth Mountain officially begins today.
The rules are simple. A hundred disciples will fight in pairs. "
The first round of the competition was that simple.
Next, the drawing of lots began. Soon, the drawing of lots was completed, and the battle list appeared.
Then, according to the name list, everyone began to fight.
The first to fight was Wu Shan. His opponent was a newcomer who was slightly weaker.
Bang
Wu Shan's attack was extremely powerful. He defeated his opponent with a single move.
After Wu Shan won, he looked at Fang Chen thoughtfully.
One martial artist after another stepped onto the Martial Arts Practice Platform and started battling.
After an entire morning, most of the warriors had already finished their battles.
At some point, it was finally Fang Chen's turn.
However, what Fang Chen didn't expect was that when he stood on the martial arts stage, his opponent actually admitted defeat.
This opponent was smart. He knew that he was no match for Sanguinati, so he admitted defeat in front of everyone.
Just like that, the first round of the competition ended very quickly.
Fifty people were eliminated, and fifty people were promoted.
The second round of the competition was the same as the first round.
This time, Fang Chen's opponent was Wu Shan.
When Wu Shan found out that his opponent was Sanguinati, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Last time, he was humiliated by Sanguinati due to his carelessness. This time, he wanted revenge.
After the first round of battles, Fang Chen also found a few strong martial artists.
However, they were no match for Fang Chen.
The second round of the competition continued.
After about an hour, Wu Shan defeated his opponent. It was Fang Chen's turn.
"Sanguinati, today I will wash away my shame with blood."
Wu Shan stood on the martial arts stage and said coldly.
"You are still no match for me," Fang Chen said casually.
"Yes or no, it's not up to you to decide."
Wu Shan growled. He clenched his fist and punched out fiercely.
Fang Chen stood there quietly without moving. His eyes were filled with disdain.
Seeing that Fang Chen did not move, Wu Shan thought that his attack had intimidated Sanguinati.
He was overjoyed. Immediately, he increased the strength of his fist, and it whistled through the air.
"Go to hell."
Wu Shan's fist was filled with murderous intent.
He punched fiercely at Fang Chen.
The disciples below were surprised. Why didn't Sanguinati dodge? Was he confident that Wu Shan could not break through his defense?
Under everyone's gaze, Wu Shan's fist fiercely hit Sanguinati's body.
Bang!
After a loud sound, a figure was sent flying.
All the martial artists looked at the other side of the martial arts stage, dumbfounded.
The martial artist who was sent flying was not Sanguinati, but Wu Shan.
"What? Wu Shan was sent flying?"
"What did Sanguinati do?"
"Sanguinati did not seem to move. Why was Wu Shan sent flying?"
Many disciples were confused.
Could it be that Sanguinati's attack was so fast that they could not see it clearly?
Below the martial arts stage, Wu Tian's face was gloomy as he stared at Sanguinati.
He wanted to see through Sanguinati, but after staring for a long time, he finally shook his head helplessly.
Wu Tian walked to Wu Shan's side and helped him up.
"I can't accept this!" Wu Shan roared.
But he was awakened by Wu Tian's slap.
"You are not his match," Wu Tian said in a low voice.
Wu Shan immediately became depressed.
On the martial arts stage, Sanguinati's figure was so dazzling.
Of all the people present, only the Ninth Mountain Lord understood the mystery.
"This Sanguinati's physical defense is also very strong."
He knew that Sanguinati did not move at all. He did not even counterattack.
Wu Shan was sent flying because his fist landed on Sanguinati's body, and the rebound force sent him flying.
From this, it was enough to see how strong Sanguinati's defense was.
The Ninth Mountain Lord smiled and nodded his head in satisfaction.
Because Sanguinati was too dazzling, almost no one paid attention to the second round of battles.
Only six hours had passed since the end of the second round.
At this time, there were only twenty-five people left.
The Ninth Mountain Lord explained the rules of the third round.
They would draw lots to determine their opponents, and one person would be given a bye.
After drawing lots, Fang Chen looked at the lot in his hand with a smile on his face.
The lot was blank, which meant that he would be given a bye this round.
This was good. It would save him a lot of trouble.
After knowing that Sanguinati would be given a bye, Wu Tian was very unhappy.
The third round of battles had gone on for twelve rounds.
Most of the martial artists who could reach this stage were at the peak of the Mystic King Realm. There were even some who were half a step to the Heaven Star Border Realm.
Their strength was considered outstanding in the entire Ninth Mountain.
The third round ended in two hours.
Coincidentally, Fang Chen was given a bye again in the fourth round.
This made many martial artists envious and jealous.
Two byes sent Sanguinati straight to the top seven.
"Sanguinati's luck is too good. He actually got a bye again."
"Yeah, two byes. Even if he loses the next round, he will at least be in seventh place."
Many of the disciples were discussing this in secret.
Among the remaining twelve disciples, there were a few who stared at Fang Chen unkindly.
Fang Chen did not care about this. There was no challenge in the Ninth Mountain, so it was better for him to get a bye. It would save him a lot of trouble.
The fourth round of battles had officially begun.
The first to go up was Wu Tian.
Wu Tian's attacks were very strange. In addition, his cultivation was half a step to the Heaven Star Border Realm. His combat strength was comparable to a Mystic King Realm martial artist.
Bang Bang Bang
Every time Wu Tian attacked, it would cause a lot of trouble for his opponent.
"Heart Illusion Sword Technique."
Facing a strong opponent, Wu Tian used the Heart Illusion Sword Technique for the first time.
Whoosh!
Instantly, a gray illusory aura appeared on the martial arts stage. Then, countless rays of sword light shot out.
Seeing Wu Tian use the Heart Illusion Sword Technique, his opponent followed suit.
The two of them had similar cultivation methods, so it would depend on whose cultivation was more profound.
Boom!
In the end, Wu Tian defeated his opponent with absolute strength.
His Heart Illusion Sword Technique had been cultivated to the Greater Mastery Realm. He was only one step away from the Perfection Realm.
"Wu Tian's Heart Illusion Sword Technique is not bad."
On the main platform, the Ninth Mountain Lord thought to himself.
There were a few good contestants in the next round.
However, none of them had cultivated the Heart Illusion Sword Technique to the Perfection Realm.
Pu Cong, the strongest person in the Ninth Mountain, had the combat strength of a Mystic King Realm martial artist.
He was the only disciple who had not used the Heart Illusion Sword Technique.
Even in the fourth round, his opponent was very strong, but he did not use it. Instead, he sent his opponent flying with a punch.
Below the martial arts stage, Fang Chen smiled and nodded.
Pu Cong's physical strength was also very strong.
In the blink of an eye, the fourth round was over. There were only seven disciples left.
These seven people would compete for the top seven positions.
Of course, many of them were aiming for the top three or even first place.
However, the most powerful competitors were Wu Tian and Pu Cong.
Many people thought that Pu Cong's strength should be the undisputed number one.
Although Sanguinati's performance was strong, many disciples did not know much about Sanguinati.
They did not know that Sanguinati had already killed a Heaven Star Border Stage One martial artist.
He was the undisputed number one in the Ninth Mountain.
Seeing that it was getting late, the Ninth Mountain Lord decided to postpone the next round to tomorrow.
Hearing this, Fang Chen turned and left.
"Big Brother, that Sanguinati is too arrogant." Wu Shan walked to Wu Tian's side and said in a low voice.
"Hmph, so what if he's arrogant? Go find Elder He." Wu Tian's eyes shot out a soft light as he said in a low voice.
Other than Wu Tian, Pu Cong was also secretly observing Fang Chen.
As the number one in the Ninth Mountain, he naturally had high standards.
He had long noticed Sanguinati, although the latter did not display much strength.
However, his intuition told him that this person was very well-hidden and should not be underestimated.
No matter what, tomorrow's battle would reveal all his doubts.
