After returning to his residence, Fang Chen started flipping through the booklet.
He flipped to the first page and saw the rankings on the Ancient List.
With a single glance, a hundred names appeared before his eyes.
Fang Chen's gaze landed on the top few names on the Ancient Ranking as he continued reading the list.
First place, Zhou Feiyang.
Second place, Zhou Chang.
Third place, Zhou Xixuan.
Fourth place, Zhou Fengyang.
Fifth place, Zhou Chen.
First place, Zhou Kaiyun.
The top five on the Ancient List were all high-level Eternal Realm martial artists.
For the time being, Fang Chen could not compete with them.
Zhou Xixuan was the only female disciple among the top five.
After looking at the Ancient List, Fang Chen understood that if he wanted to be on the Ancient List, he had to be at least at the Fourth Level of the Eternal Realm.
With his current strength, he could fight with a Fourth Level of the Eternal Realm martial artist, but it would be difficult for him to defeat them.
Fang Chen then looked at the detailed information on each tower, station, and list.
Fang Chen spent the entire afternoon studying the situation in the booklet.
He only fell asleep at night.
The next day, Fang Chen went to the Divine Arts Building.
This was an important place in the Zhou Family. Only with the permission of the Zhou Family Patriarch could enter.
Fang Chen had naturally obtained permission to enter.
He was staying in the Zhou Family as a disciple, so he could choose any Divine Art he wanted.
There were three floors in the Divine Arts Building, but Fang Chen could only choose from the first floor.
Upon entering the first floor, Fang Chen saw a large number of books.
Each book represented a Divine Art.
"I only have one chance to choose a Divine Art that suits me," Fang Chen thought to himself.
He majored in the Sword Principle and had the golden heart, so his first choice would be a Sword Principle Divine Art.
After 15 minutes, Fang Chen eliminated most of the Divine Arts and his gaze finally fell on the last floor of a row of bookshelves.
There were seven books, all of which were Sword Principle Divine Arts.
However, Fang Chen had eliminated four books, leaving three books. It was a bit difficult to choose.
Fire Demon Sword Art, Metal Sword Art, Distant Fire Sword Art.
Of the three divine arts, two were of the fire element and one was of the metal element.
"Metal-elemental divine spells are even more ferocious.
However, it doesn't suit me, "Fang Chen said to himself.
Then, he shook his head and rejected the idea of the Metal Sword Technique.
Although he possessed the Law of Metal, it was definitely not as powerful as the Law of Fire.
The Fire Demon Sword Art and the Distant Fire Sword Art were both fire-elemental sword arts.
When the Fire Demon Sword Technique was cultivated to the extreme, one could condense an extremely terrifying Fire Demon.
As for the Li Fire Swordsmanship, it was said that it could be combined with a formation, and its offensive power was astonishing.
"What swordsmanship should I choose?" Fang Chen was somewhat hesitant.
The Departing Fire Sword Principle and the Fire Demon Sword Principle were both very tempting to him.
However, he could only choose one.
After thinking for a long time, he finally made a decision.
"Fire Demon Sword Art."
Fang Chen gritted his teeth and picked up the book of the Fire Demon Sword Art.
The reason why he chose the Fire Demon Sword Art was because when the latter was cultivated to the extreme, one could condense a terrifying Fire Demon.
And the Fire Demon condensed from the Undying Flame would definitely be much more powerful.
Walking out of the Divine Arts Building, Fang Chen cupped his hands towards the Guardian Elder and said, "Elder, I choose the Fire Demon Sword Art."
The Guardian Elder frowned and shook his head, "Although the Fire Demon Sword Art is very powerful, it has a drawback.
It has been many years since a disciple chose the Fire Demon Sword Art. "
"Hmm, what drawback?" Fang Chen asked curiously.
"The Fire Demon Sword Art is too domineering. It needs to be supplemented with the Fire Demon Mantra to be able to neutralize the domineering Fire Demon Sword Art.
A long, long time ago, the Fire Demon Mantra was accidentally lost, so the Fire Demon Sword Art you have now is actually not complete. "The Guardian Elder explained.
"Not complete."
Fang Chen frowned and stared at the book in his hand.
"Within a month, return the original copy. You are not allowed to let anyone see it." The Guardian Elder said.
Fang Chen was somewhat helpless, but he still nodded.
After Fang Chen left, the Guardian Elder immediately transmitted a message to the Zhou Family Patriarch.
"Patriarch, that Fang Chen chose the Fire Demon Sword Art."
Zhou Family Mansion, Conference Hall.
Many Elders, including the Zhou Family Patriarch, were present. The atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
"Patriarch, you saw it too. That brat is reckless. He actually chose the Fire Demon Sword Art. He is not worthy of our Zhou Family investing in him." An Elder spread his hands and said.
"The Fire Demon Sword Art is incomplete. Without the Fire Demon Mantra, it is very likely that he will suffer from Qi Deviation. That brat is playing with fire." Another Elder said.
"I said before that our Zhou Family does not need such weak martial artists, but Patriarch, you did not listen."
Many Elders were opposed to Fang Chen staying in the Zhou Family.
However, the Zhou Family Patriarch stood his ground and forced Fang Chen to stay.
Now that Fang Chen had chosen the Fire Demon Sword Art, it made things difficult for him.
"Patriarch, if this brat suffers from Qi Deviation, our Zhou Family's resources on him will be wasted." The Elder said, "I will not allow such a thing to happen."
"That's right. Let that brat get lost immediately."
"Our Zhou Family wants geniuses, not mediocre people."
In the Conference Hall, many Elders were agitated. They were all opposed to Fang Chen staying.
Seeing this, the Patriarch sighed and finally made a concession.
"How about this? Give him three months. If he can enter the Ancient List during this time, you can no longer have any objections.
If he can't do it, I will personally make him leave. I will take full responsibility for any losses caused by this. "The Patriarch said.
The Patriarch's prestige in the Zhou Family was still not bad. The Elders could not say anything when he made such a concession.
"Okay, then we will see in three months." The Great Elder got up and left.
After obtaining the Fire Demon Sword Art, he naturally began to cultivate.
The current Fang Chen urgently needed an offensive divine art.
Flipping through the chants of the Fire Demon Sword Art, Fang Chen closed his eyes slightly.
The Undying Flame revolved around him, and the Fire Laws revolved within his body.
Weng!
The golden heart also began to rapidly beat. The Sword Qi around Fang Chen's body rapidly increased.
The cultivation of the Fire Demon Sword Art was beyond Fang Chen's expectations.
He had originally thought that it would take some time, but after just circulating the chants once, he had comprehended most of it.
For the entire morning, Fang Chen had been trying to condense a Fire Demon.
However, he had failed almost every time.
"What's going on?"
Fang Chen frowned and carefully read the book.
"What went wrong?"
Fang Chen thought back to his cultivation process. There shouldn't have been any problems.
But why was he still unable to condense a Fire Demon?
Being unable to condense a Fire Demon meant that he was unable to use the Fire Demon Sword Art.
"Continue."
Fang Chen did not believe it and continued to cultivate.
After circulating the Fire Laws in his body, he decisively condensed a Fire Demon.
"Condense."
Fang Chen shouted in a low voice and desperately condensed flames.
However, the Fire Laws suspended above his head were sometimes condensing and sometimes spreading. It was impossible to control.
"What's going on?"
Fang Chen was very depressed.
Dong
The golden heart was beating rapidly, and the sound of Sword Dao was incessant.
It was like the sound of the Great Dao, shaking Fang Chen's heart.
In an instant, Fang Chen's eyes blurred, as if immersed in the ocean of Sword Dao.
"I see."
Fang Chen muttered. He seemed to have suddenly understood at a certain moment.
His palms quickly formed a seal, and the Sword Qi around his body intertwined.
The moment the terrifying Sword Qi merged with the Fire Laws, a wild and domineering aura suddenly rushed over.
In the sky, a Fire Demon about the same size as Fang Chen gradually took shape.
This Fire Demon was completely condensed from flames, and in its body, there was an extremely terrifying Sword Qi.
"Fire Demon."
At the same time, Fang Chen opened his eyes, stared at the Fire Demon, and laughed loudly.
"Go."
Fang Chen controlled the Fire Demon and bombarded the ground.
Suddenly, a large hole appeared in the courtyard.
"So powerful."
The Fire Demon crashed into the ground and gradually dissipated, leaving behind a scorching aura in the air.
Looking at the large hole in the ground, Fang Chen smiled happily.
The Zhou Family Mansion had restrictions, and under normal circumstances, it was difficult to break the ground. However, the Fire Demon was able to create a large hole.
It was enough to show the Fire Demon's offensive power.
"Once the Fire Demon Sword Art is at the initial stage, it can easily crush a Third Level Eternal Ancient Realm martial artist.
As for a Fourth Level Eternal Ancient Realm martial artist, the Fire Demon Sword Art must be at the second stage, "Fang Chen muttered to himself.
