"But he's not a true array master at all."
Zhou Chen was somewhat unwilling and continued to refute.
He believed that it was impossible for Fang Chen's attainments in array dao to be so high.
The reason why he could set up such a formation should be because he used some special divine artifact.
"How laughable. Just because you're ignorant doesn't mean that others are as well," Zhou Chang sneered.
Zhou Chen's words were extremely laughable.
The former was an expert in the top ten of the ancient list, but he didn't even have the courage to accept failure.
"Brother Fang's attainments in array dao are even inferior to mine. You actually said that he's not a true array master? You've completely disgraced the Zhou family," Zhou Chang continued.
His words were full of ridicule.
Zhou Chang's personality was straightforward, and he usually wouldn't deliberately target someone.
But now, he was berating Zhou Chen. It was enough to see how angry he was.
"Zhou Chang, what right do you have to berate Zhou Tongyu? What right do you have to criticize him? If you think he's wrong, do you have any evidence to refute him?" Zhou Fengyang couldn't sit still anymore and supported Zhou Chen.
For a moment, the square was silent. Everyone was waiting for the patriarch to speak.
Who was the patriarch? He was a high and mighty god.
"You may leave."
The patriarch was very disappointed with Zhou Chen. He waved his hand with a trace of fatigue on his face.
He had placed the hope of the Zhou family's rise on batch after batch of young people.
But Zhou Chen's performance today had disappointed him too much.
"Patriarch!"
Zhou Chen was very anxious when he saw this.
"Failure isn't terrible, but you don't even have the courage to accept failure.
Such a cultivator won't have any great achievements in the future, "the patriarch said slowly.
Hearing his words, Zhou Chen's face turned ashen.
Since the patriarch had said so, there was no point in continuing.
However, Zhou Chen was unwilling to accept this.
He clenched his fists tightly and stared coldly at Fang Chen.
After today, he would no longer be an outstanding disciple of the Zhou family.
The patriarch had a lot of authority in the Zhou family. What he said today would be a turning point in Zhou Chen's life.
Zhou Chen didn't want to be mediocre anymore. He struggled in his heart and suddenly raised his head. "Patriarch, you'd rather help an outsider than a member of the family?"
"Scram!"
The clan leader was a little angry and said coldly.
Terrifying divine power instantly gushed out from the Clan Leader's body and sent Zhou Chen flying.
"Continue."
The Patriarch said coldly.
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads in the end.
Zhou Fengyang was glaring at Fang Chen. He was very angry.
The sixth round of the competition ended in front of everyone's shocked eyes.
Including Fang Chen, fifteen disciples advanced to the finals while the rest were eliminated.
Being able to stand out from more than a thousand people was enough to explain everything.
And Fang Chen was one of the best among them.
Fang Chen had defeated Zhou Chen, which meant that his strength was enough to threaten Zhou Fengyang and the others.
Some people even speculated that Fang Chen might be in the top three.
However, before the final result was out, anything was possible.
In the final round, the rules were slightly changed. It was different from the previous elimination rounds.
There were a total of 15 people in the finals, and each person had two chances to challenge the others.
It was up to him to decide who he wanted to challenge.
If he failed both challenges, he would be eliminated on the spot.
Of course, the strong could not take the initiative to challenge the weak.
For example, Zhou Feiyang, who was first on the Ancient List, could not challenge other martial artists.
This also prevented some powerful disciples from being eliminated in the early stages.
Except for Fang Chen, the rest of the 15 people were originally experts on the Ancient List.
Zhou Feiyang closed his eyes and did not want to think about these things.
Moreover, no one came to challenge him.
The top ten experts on the Ancient List did not make a move.
Seeing this, Fang Chen took the lead and walked out.
"Since everyone is waiting, then let me begin."
Fang Chen chose to challenge Zhou Fengyang, who was fourth on the Ancient List.
"I challenge Zhou Fengyang."
When Fang Chen's voice fell, Zhou Fengyang was secretly delighted.
"Boy, how dare you challenge me. You will regret it."
Zhou Fengyang took a step forward and came to the martial arts arena, glaring at Fang Chen.
"Let the battle begin."
Zhou Fengyang displayed a powerful attack, and his aura shook the sky.
"Fire Demon Sword Technique."
Fang Chen did not set up a Cosmos Formation, but displayed the Fire Demon Sword Technique.
Swoosh!
The ultimate power of the Law of Fire condensed into a huge Fire Demon in front of him.
This Fire Demon was a hundred feet tall and stood on the martial arts arena, looking very terrifying.
There was a golden luster surging on the Fire Demon's body.
Seeing this, the expressions of the clan leader and the others on the rostrum changed slightly, and they were a little surprised.
"It seems that we have underestimated Fang Chen's potential." The clan leader laughed.
"Yes, the Fire Demon Sword Technique has been cultivated to the third level. It's really amazing."
"Don't forget, this is under the premise that the mantra is missing."
"He is really a Sword Principle genius."
The elders had a very high opinion of Fang Chen, and they were surprisingly unanimous.
At that moment, they finally realized how insidious their Clan Chief's eyesight was.
On the martial arts arena, the battle continued.
Crack!
The hundred feet tall Fire Demon stepped on Zhou Fengyang's body, causing the latter to stagger.
"Damn it!"
Zhou Fengyang roared in his heart and fought back desperately.
"I can't defeat Zhou Fengyang with the Fire Demon Sword Technique alone."
Fang Chen said to himself. Although he had cultivated the Fire Demon Sword Technique to the third level in a year, he was still no match for Zhou Fengyang.
"Then I'll let you have a taste of my Illusion Formation."
Thinking of this, Fang Chen's figure retreated, and at the same time, his hands formed a seal.
Crash!
The Illusion Formation appeared, and the Law of Illusion swept across the entire martial arts arena.
"Illusion Formation!"
On the rostrum, there was a cry of surprise.
Although Zhou Fengyang was very strong, he could not resist the Illusion Formation.
Unless one was a God, it was very difficult to resist the Extraordinary Formation.
In the end, Zhou Fengyang lost the battle.
He was very unwilling, but he was much smarter than Zhou Chen and did not say anything.
He just glanced at Fang Chen sadly and left the martial arts arena.
For the second challenge, Fang Chen randomly chose a person next to him.
He did not expect that this martial artist would directly admit defeat before the battle.
For a time, Fang Chen became a nightmare in the hearts of many disciples.
Fang Chen spread his hands and asked, "I've won both challenges. There's nothing left for me to do, right?"
"Go to the side and wait. When there are only ten people left, you can compete for the final ranking." The judge nodded.
Although Zhou Fengyang lost to Fang Chen, he still managed to enter the top ten with his absolute strength.
An hour later, five disciples were eliminated, and only ten people remained.
The Patriarch stood up and looked at the ten people below. He said, "There are only ten people left. Apart from Fang Chen, all of you were originally in the top ten of the Ancient Rankings."
"The next competition is very simple. You can challenge whoever you want to occupy. If you win, you can replace your opponent. If you lose, your ranking will remain unchanged."
Fang Chen had defeated Zhou Fengyang, so he was temporarily ranked fourth on the Ancient Rankings.
If he wanted to take first place, he would have to challenge Zhou Fengyang.
In fact, this was also the result that Fang Chen wanted. It was much simpler this way.
He didn't need to waste time. All he needed to do was challenge Zhou Fengyang.
"Zhou Chang, fight me."
Zhou Xixuan arrived on the martial stage and said.
"Alright."
Zhou Chang laughed heartily and jumped onto the martial stage to fight Zhou Xixuan.
Their battle was extremely intense.
However, Zhou Chang was a formation master, and his attainments in formations were very high.
In the end, it was Zhou Chang who came out on top and won.
"I admire you."
Zhou Xixuan cupped her hands.
"Xixuan, you're not weak either.
My advantage lies in formations. Without formations, I'm not your match, "said Zhou Chang directly.
Zhou Fengyang looked at the people in front of him. He felt extremely complicated.
No matter which one he challenged, he didn't have absolute confidence in winning.
That was especially true of Zhou Chang and Zhou Xixuan. He had originally thought that he would have a chance to defeat the two of them.
But now it seemed that he had been thinking too much.
CCC Pavilion
Zhou Chang's strength had surpassed his imagination.
Just as Zhou Fengyang was hesitating, Fang Chen walked onto the martial stage.
Everyone's gaze fell on him. They wanted to see who he would challenge.
"Zhou Chang or Zhou Xixuan?"
Of the nine people present, only Zhou Chang and the other two were qualified for Fang Chen to challenge.
Zhou Fengyang was too strong. Everyone guessed that Fang Chen wouldn't challenge him.
