reax;
Early the next morning, everyone gathered at the square.
They drew lots as soon as they arrived at the square.
The person in charge of drawing lots was Elder He.
When Wu Tian saw Elder He, he squinted his eyes and smiled.
The latter nodded at Wu Tian as a response.
"Seven disciples, come up and draw lots," Elder He said loudly.
Immediately, the seven of them went up the stage to draw lots.
However, when Fang Chen went up on stage to draw the lots, Elder He's palm pressed gently on the bottom of the box without batting an eyelid.
Immediately, the order of the lots in the paper box changed.
After Fang Chen drew his lot, he opened it on the spot.
"Pu Cong."
In other words, his opponent was the strongest person of the Ninth Mountain, Pu Cong.
When Elder He saw this, a smile appeared on his face.
"The drawing of lots is complete. Wu Tian has drawn a bye. Three groups of contestants will take turns to fight on the stage," Elder He said.
The first group was Fang Chen against Pu Cong.
Pu Cong stood on the stage and stared at Fang Chen.
The latter leaped up and stepped onto the martial arts stage.
From the corner of his eye, he saw Wu Tian, who was gloating below the stage, and then fell into deep thought.
"Sanguinati, why aren't you attacking?"
The battle had already begun, but Sanguinati was still standing there with his head lowered, deep in thought.
This made Pu Cong a little confused, so he asked.
Pu Cong's words interrupted Fang Chen's thoughts.
He raised his head and looked at Pu Cong with his pitch-black eyes, then glanced at the other five disciples.
In the end, he spread out his hands and said softly, "It's too troublesome."
"What?" Pu Cong didn't understand what Fang Chen meant by that.
Fang Chen didn't explain. He continued to shake his head and said, "It's too troublesome to do it one by one. The six of you can come at me together."
Boom!
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples.
Fang Chen's words caused an uproar in the square.
Even Elder He and the others were astonished.
Sanguinati's tone was too arrogant. It was too troublesome to deal with them one by one, so he asked the six of them to come at him together.
"Sanguinati, you are too arrogant."
After recovering from his shock, Wu Tian was the first to speak.
The other disciples also glared at Sanguinati.
Sanguinati's actions had undoubtedly offended all six of them.
Clearly, he was looking down on the six of them, thinking that even if the six of them worked together, they wouldn't be a match for him.
"Hmph, I alone am enough to defeat you."
Pu Cong sneered and said disdainfully.
"You are no match for me. The six of you can come at me together. My goal is only to be number one in the Ninth Mountain. As for second to seventh, you can fight for them yourselves," Fang Chen said calmly.
Fang Chen's words were sincere.
However, this angered the six of them even more.
"I, Pu Cong, have joined the Sword Firmament Sect for such a long time, and I have never seen such an arrogant person," Pu Cong said coldly.
Even the elders on the rostrum frowned slightly, thinking that this kid was too arrogant.
However, it was at this moment that the Ninth Mountain Lord spoke.
"The six of you, come at me together."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked again.
Could it be that even the Ninth Mountain Lord thought that the six of them wouldn't be a match for Sanguinati?
Was Sanguinati putting on an act, or was he really hiding his strength?
"Good, very good. Since he wants to die, the six of us will work together," Wu Tian jumped onto the fighting ring and said fiercely.
The other four also went up the fighting ring.
"Sanguinati, you asked for it."
"Sanguinati, today, we will let you know that there is a price to pay for your arrogance."
"You talk too much," Fang Chen said as he looked at the six of them.
Buzz!
The six of them were completely enraged. The six of them worked together and launched a fierce and overbearing attack.
"Go to hell."
Wu Tian was the first to attack. He used the Heart Illusion Sword Skill.
The other five people quickly followed suit and unleashed their Heart Illusion Sword Technique.
The fighting ring was instantly enveloped by an overbearing illusory aura.
When the six of them used the Heart Illusion Sword Skill, their combined power was comparable to a martial artist who had just entered the Heaven Star Border Realm.
However, Fang Chen didn't have the slightest fear on his face.
"Heart Illusion Sword Skill?"
Competing with Fang Chen using the Heart Illusion Sword Skill was equivalent to courting death.
Boom!
Fang Chen used his Heart Illusion Sword Skill.
Instantly, the few elders on the rostrum were shocked.
"What Complete Realm?"
"Mountain Lord, did you already know that Sanguinati had cultivated the Heart Illusion Sword Skill to the Complete Realm?"
The Ninth Mountain Lord shook his head. He didn't know.
To be honest, when Fang Chen used the Heart Illusion Sword Skill, he was also shocked.
However, he was relieved in an instant.
The man who had created the Sword Firmament Sect's historical record. What else could he not do?
Swoosh!
Sword light filled the sky and shot towards the six of them like raindrops.
Instantly, the six of them felt an overbearing pressure.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The six of them's Heart Illusion Sword Skill was broken by Fang Chen.
Then, the illusory aura was devoured by Fang Chen's aura.
Boom!
The Martial Arts Practice Stage shook.
Then, the illusory aura gradually dissipated.
Everyone looked at the Martial Arts Practice Stage with their mouths agape.
Sanguinati was nowhere to be seen. Only six figures were left on the Martial Arts Practice Stage.
"Where's Sanguinati? Was he sent flying?"
"I told you. Sanguinati is just putting on an act."
Some martial artists were confused and thought that Sanguinati was sent flying.
However, the six people on the Martial Arts Practice Stage were dumbfounded and speechless.
Their hearts were filled with astonishment.
The six of them joined forces and their combat power was comparable to a Heaven Star Border Realm martial artist. However, they were still defeated by Sanguinati.
Moreover, it was a clean defeat.
"Did we lose?"
The six of them thought to themselves.
Their faces were filled with loneliness as they walked down the Martial Arts Practice Stage slowly.
Many of the disciples were confused as they didn't know who had won the battle.
However, the Ninth Mountain Lord's next words caused an uproar in the square.
"In this Disciples' Grand Competition, Sanguinati is ranked first. The second to seventh still need to be selected."
Whoosh!
The square was in an uproar.
Sanguinati won. He really won against six!
Then why was Sanguinati nowhere to be seen?
However, the disciples soon realized that Sanguinati had left after defeating the six of them. It was just that they didn't see it.
Thinking of this, the crowd was even more shocked.
Sanguinati was undoubtedly the strongest person in the Ninth Mountain.
In front of him, Pu Cong and the others were dim.
It was as if they had received a blow from the Blood Sword Saint. In the following ranking battles from the second to the seventh, everyone was listless.
In the end, the Disciples' Grand Competition ended hastily.
The Ninth Mountain Lord had expected this result.
Fang Chen was much more outstanding than he had expected.
However, the other disciples of the Ninth Mountain were shocked.
The news of the Ninth Mountain's Disciples' Grand Competition spread to the other eight mountains as if it had grown wings.
It just so happened that the other eight mountains' Grand Competition had also fallen.
"A mere Mystic King Realm martial artist is nothing to be afraid of."
"That's right. An eighth level Mystic King Realm martial artist was able to get first place. It seems that the Ninth Mountain has really fallen."
"Hmph, I will definitely humiliate Sanguinati during the Nine Mountains Dao Exchange."
The top disciples of the other mountains were not afraid of Sanguinati at all.
Although Sanguinati defeated six people by himself in the end and shocked the Ninth Mountain.
However, the other mountains did not buy it.
The standard of the disciples of the Ninth Mountain was not high to begin with.
If it were the top disciples of the other mountains, they would be able to defeat six people by themselves or even more.
This was the rule of the Sword Firmament Sect. After the Disciples' Grand Competition of the Nine Mountains, the Dao Exchange would be held.
The top disciples of each mountain would spar with each other.
The person who got first place would be able to enter the Sword Mountain.
This was the dream of every martial artist who entered the Sword Firmament Sect.
Therefore, the Dao Debate of the Nine Mountains was the most intense and tragic.
Ever since the Disciples' Grand Competition of the Ninth Mountain ended, Fang Chen returned to his courtyard.
As for the other mountains' discussion about him, he had no idea and did not care.
On this day, the Lord of the Ninth Mountain came to Fang Chen's courtyard.
"Your improvement is really shocking." The Lord of the Ninth Mountain grinned.
He was overjoyed that such a heaven-defying genius had joined the Ninth Mountain.
Now, in the entire Sword Firmament Sect, other than him and the Sect Leader, no one knew that Sanguinati had broken the Sword Firmament Sect's record.
Therefore, many people thought that Sanguinati's strength was only temporary.
"Lord, when will the Dao Exchange begin?" Fang Chen asked.
"Every year, the Dao Debate of the Nine Mountains is extremely important. Therefore, every mountain has its own arrangements."
The Lord of the Ninth Mountain said, "If I'm not wrong, the other eight mountain lords must be personally teaching their disciples, hoping that they can get first place in the Dao Exchange."
"Do you need any help?" The Lord of the Ninth Mountain asked.
"I just want to know when the Dao Exchange will be held," Fang Chen said.
"In a month." The Lord of the Ninth Mountain smiled. "With your talent, I have nothing to teach you.
How about it? Are you confident that you can cultivate the Heart Illusion Sword Technique to the Transformative Realm in a month? "
Hearing this, Fang Chen spread his hands.
"The Heart Illusion Sword Technique is harder to cultivate in the later stages. It will be difficult to reach the Transformative Realm in a month."
At that moment, the Lord of the Ninth Mountain took out a small booklet and handed it to Fang Chen.
"Now?"
Fang Chen took the booklet and flipped it open. His eyes lit up.
"I'm very confident."
The reason why the Heart Illusion Sword Art was difficult to cultivate was because of its unpredictable and unpredictable attacking moves.
The booklet that the Lord of the Ninth Mountain gave Fang Chen contained the experiences of countless seniors of the Ninth Mountain who had cultivated the Heart Illusion Sword Technique.
With this booklet, it would save him a lot of trouble, and he would be able to cultivate with twice the result with half the effort.
"Thank you, Lord." Fang Chen cupped his hands and thanked him.
"You don't have to thank me. You are the disciple with the strongest comprehension ability in the history of the Sword Firmament Sect. I also want to see how high your achievements will be in the future."
The Lord of the Ninth Mountain said, "Also, to be honest, with your strength, the Nine Mountains are no longer a challenge to you. Only the Sword Mountain."
Ever since they knew about Fang Chen's strong comprehension ability, the Lord of the Ninth Mountain and the Sect Leader had been paying close attention to him.
"Alright, I won't take up any more of your time. Cultivate well, and remember to return the booklet to me in a month." The Lord of the Ninth Mountain turned and left after he finished speaking.
Fang Chen looked at the booklet in his hand with a determined gaze.
