Tianshu Yuan was located on a mountain range.
There was no one within a radius of ten thousand miles.
A mountain near the main peak was surrounded by powerful restrictions. Many elders, including the chief of Tianshu Yuan, stood quietly.
In front of them, there was a smooth mirror with an image on it.
In the image, Fang Chen and the other four separated and entered a secret realm.
"Since Fang Chen is an in-name disciple, why did you let him participate in the test?" An elder asked, puzzled.
The chief of Tianshu Yuan gently stroked his beard and said with a smile, "I also want to see how extraordinary a peerless genius who entered the Void Ancient Realm in seventeen thousand years is."
Hearing this, the other elders fell silent.
Seventeen thousand years, this was definitely a very shocking number.
Even the most dazzling Gu Tianhua in the entire ancient chaos took a million years to enter the Void Ancient Realm.
Thinking of this, the elders' hearts were filled with shock, and their faces were full of eagerness.
In the secret realm.
Fang Chen surveyed his surroundings. The first thing he did was to confirm his surroundings.
"Hunting Void Ancient Demonic Beasts isn't difficult for me," Fang Chen said in a low voice, "It's just that hunting Star Ancient Demonic Beasts is a bit more difficult.
Although he knew it was difficult, Fang Chen did not say anything.
Just as the chief of Tianshu Yuan said, to become an elite disciple, one must be both intelligent and brave.
Strength alone, without intelligence, was not enough.
"I wonder how Fu Huan and the others are now."
Fang Chen murmured.
With a leap, he disappeared into a pitch-black forest.
Roar!
Sensing the human's aura approaching, the monsters in the forest roared and rushed toward him.
"Good timing."
Fang Chen shouted inwardly. He took out the Hidden Star Sword and slashed out.
The dazzling sword light was boundless and powerful, and it slashed at the black shadow that rushed toward him.
Puchi!
The sword light pierced into the monster's body, and it was immediately injured.
"Bang!"
Stellar Transposition!
Fang Chen's figure appeared behind the Demonic Beast like a ghost and smashed its head with a punch.
"Late Void Ancient Realm demonic beast."
Fang Chen curled his lips. With his current strength, he was already invincible in the Void Ancient Realm.
Dealing with Void Ancient Realm demonic beasts was simply a piece of cake.
Fang Chen cleanly cut down a monster beast and placed its head into his spatial ring. Then, he continued to sneak into the darkness to hunt down more monster beasts.
This scene was witnessed by the chief of Tianshu Yuan and the others on the mountain peak. Everyone nodded in satisfaction.
"That's right. This kid's thoughts are meticulous. It's hard to come by." An elder praised.
"That's right. Not panicking in the face of danger, and considering every step carefully. Only such a genius can go far on the path of martial arts."
"I can't wait to see how this guy kills a Star Ancient Realm monster beast."
Several people spoke up, expressing their great admiration for Fang Chen.
Even the chief of Tianshu Yuan nodded slightly and said with a smile, "With his strength, he's almost invincible in the Void Ancient Realm. I just don't know how he'll kill a Star Ancient Realm monster beast."
Killing a Star Ancient Realm monster beast was the most important part of the elite disciple assessment.
Under the gaze of many higher-ups, Fu Huan and the others also began to hunt down the monsters.
However, they weren't like Fang Chen, who relied on his strength to kill the monsters.
In just a few hours, they finished killing the Void Ancient Realm monster beast. Next was the Star Ancient Realm monster beast.
The four of them gathered together, and after a short discussion, they decided to team up.
Only Fang Chen still chose to act alone.
It wasn't that he was arrogant, but he believed that the Star Ancient Realm monster beast's overall strength was far beyond the Void Ancient Realm. It wasn't something that could be defeated by teaming up.
He already had a rough idea in his mind.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed in the secret realm.
As early as five days ago, Fang Chen had finished killing the Void Ancient Realm monster beast.
During these five days, he had been using the Spacetime Escape Technique to hide in the dark, observing a Star Ancient Realm monster beast.
"This early Star Ancient Realm monster beast has a strong aura. It's in the prime of its life, and its attack power is very strong," Fang Chen murmured.
"However, its intelligence seems to be a bit weak."
In the Immemorial Chaos, monster beasts were everywhere.
Some monster beasts could reach the Ancient God Realm when they reached adulthood, and some were even comparable to Life Ancient Realm experts when fully grown.
Of course, there were strong and weak.
The weak here referred to the weak in intelligence.
This was the difference in thinking between Fang Chen and Fu Huan and the other three.
The four of them teamed up to specifically target the weakest Star Ancient Realm monster beast.
But Fang Chen was different. The monster he chose was much stronger than the average early Star Ancient Realm monster, but its intelligence was low.
On a towering tree, Fang Chen was faintly discernible. He opened his Supreme Ancestral Eye and stared ahead.
Although there was a strong layer of airflow between them, he could still see it clearly.
That monster beast seemed to be a tiger-type monster beast. It gave people the impression that it had a strong head and a strong brain.
"For the past five days, all it did was eat and sleep."
Fang Chen curled his lips. This monster beast was too lazy.
Today, he was ready to take action.
Having grasped the habits of this Star Ancient Realm monster beast, Fang Chen set up a powerful array around a pool not far away. Then, he hid the Hidden Star Sword under the water.
After everything was ready, he used the Spacetime Escape Technique to hide.
Deng! Deng!
Deng! Time was up. The tiger-headed monster slowly walked to the pool to drink water.
Gugugu!
It didn't feel anything strange at all. It stuck its head into the pool and drank.
Buzz!
A layer of ripples appeared on the surface of the pool.
In the next moment, a ray of light broke out of the water, carrying a powerful sword Qi, and directly pierced the tiger-headed monster's mouth.
Roar!
The tiger-headed monster roared angrily and shook its head, flinging the Hidden Star Sword away.
Boom!
At this time, Fang Chen was secretly controlling the array. The surrounding area was sealed by a powerful array. The tiger-headed monster attacked the array frantically.
After Fang Chen took the Hidden Star Sword, he swung his hand and performed the Shura Sword Technique.
At the same time, he fully activated the Demonic Transformation Technique. Invincible Demonic Qi emerged from his body, and the attack power of the Shura Sword Technique increased countless times.
After performing the Shura Sword Technique, Fang Chen didn't waste any time. He moved the stars and appeared behind the tiger-headed monster, performing the Azure Sky Sword Technique.
Puchi!
The Hidden Star Sword shook and pierced the tiger-headed monster's butt.
Roar!
The tiger-headed monster screamed miserably. Its huge body kept shaking.
The aura in its body leaked out.
In an instant, it fought fiercely with Fang Chen.
Seeing this scene on the smooth surface of the mirror, the chief of Tianshu Yuan sighed and shook his head.
Fang Chen's various performances were enough to be ranked as a core disciple.
Unfortunately, in order to protect him, he could only start as a nominal disciple.
"Wonderful, this boy's mind is too calm."
"Yes, attacking the enemy's vital point and cleverly defeating the tiger-headed monster."
"I really want to take this guy as a disciple, but unfortunately …"
Even the chief of Tianshu Yuan wasn't qualified to take him as a disciple, let alone elders like them.
There was no need to watch the next test.
Fang Chen's performance was almost perfect, and he received the unanimous approval of all the higher-ups.
Three days later.
At the end of the test, Fu Huan and the other three surprisingly passed and became the new elite disciples.
As for Fang Chen, he headed to the Nominal Peak alone.
The Nominal Peak was the mountain where nominal disciples lived and cultivated.
"Fang Chen."
On the top of the mountain, Bai Ling suddenly appeared and called Fang Chen.
Fang Chen stopped and turned to look.
"You don't have to be depressed." Bai Ling pondered and said, "With your potential, you will definitely be famous in the ancient chaos in the future.
However, when it's time to be patient, you still have to be patient. "
Fang Chen nodded and cupped his fist to thank her.
Looking at Fang Chen's back, the three giants stood side by side. Their faces were full of complicated expressions.
"The dean did this to protect him," Wu Yu said.
"However, I don't know if such a peerless genius can accept it in his heart," Wu Qian said worriedly. "If he can't cross this hurdle, it will breed inner demons."
The four people who weren't as good as him could all become elite disciples, but he was only a nominal disciple.
Wu Qian was worried that Fang Chen would take things too hard and fall into trouble.
"I believe in her."
Her white robe fluttered in the wind, and her graceful figure was completely revealed.
Bai Ling said softly with a confident smile on her pretty face.
