The rumors were getting more and more ridiculous. In the end, many people thought that Fang Chen relied on his background to squeeze out Li Xinlong's courtyard.
But when facing Li Xinlong, he only dared to challenge him in the courtyard.
For a time, many nominal disciples snorted disdainfully and sneered when they talked about Fang Chen.
Fang Chen ignored the situation that was getting more and more intense.
"Brother Long, are we just going to let it go?"
Asked a disciple.
"Now the whole Nominal Peak is paying attention to this matter. I can't rashly barge into the courtyard. We can only wait," said Li Xinlong coldly.
"But that guy is too arrogant. He actually dares to hoot in front of brother Long."
Li Xinlong shook his head, a strange look flashing in his eyes.
"I remember that there's still half a month before the annual disciple gathering on Nominal Peak, right?"
"Could it be …"
Hearing this, the other nominal disciples showed a sinister smile. "The annual gathering is indeed a good opportunity. I don't believe that he won't go."
During this time, Nominal Peak was very lively. Countless people's eyes were on the hundredth courtyard.
Even the outstanding disciples of Zi Ming Garden shook their heads at this.
"Offending Li Xinlong is obviously not a wise choice."
"Exactly. How strong can a newcomer be?"
"Maybe he's really strong and doesn't fear Li Xinlong."
Some people supported Fang Chen, while others thought that Fang Chen's action was extremely unwise.
Nominal Peak.
The courtyard at the front was leaning against a small mountain. The stream flowed down and the scenery was beautiful.
On the gate of this courtyard was the number three.
This meant that the person living here was the third-ranked nominal disciple.
The courtyard was bustling with activity. The sound of running water could be heard. Several female servants were hurriedly watering the flowers.
In the picturesque garden, a graceful woman sat quietly on a stone bench, her hand supporting her chin.
Looking at the stream flowing down in front of her, a sweet smile appeared on her face.
"Miss Zi Qiong."
An old woman came over and called out in a low voice.
The woman didn't turn her head. She was still looking ahead.
"I've already asked around. That new nominal disciple seems to be called Fang Chen."
The old woman said, "His strength should be around the mid Void Ancient Realm. Huang Haired and the others were beaten up by him in his courtyard. Li Xinlong can't do anything to him."
"What an interesting guy."
Zi Qiong smiled faintly, "In the gathering half a month later, I'll see if he's unworthy of his reputation or he's not afraid of Li Xinlong."
Not only Zi Qiong, the other nominal disciples were also paying attention.
Time flowed like water. Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, Fang Chen didn't leave his courtyard.
Every day, he would spend his time in the courtyard researching the compatibility of the Azure Sky Sword Art and the Asura Sword Art.
Dong dong dong dong!
"Come in.
With a creak, the door opened. A handyman quickly walked in and said, "Young Master Fang, the annual gathering of disciples on the Nominal Peak begins today. Would you like to go and have a look?"
"I'm not going."
Fang Chen waved his hand. He didn't want to participate in such a boring gathering. He only wanted to cultivate in peace.
"But …."
The servant said, "According to the rules of the Nominal Peak, nominal disciples have to attend the annual gathering every few days. It's better for you to go."
Fang Chen raised his head and glanced at the servant, "If that's the case, I'll go take a look."
….
Nominal Peak. Many people came and went in front of the Summit Hall.
"Hahaha, Brother Long, I heard that you have the strength to enter the top 100?"
"That's something worth celebrating."
The many nominal disciples in front of the main hall were all relatively weak.
The real geniuses were all in the Summit Hall.
The annual gathering was just for the disciples to exchange pointers and learn from each other.
Fang Chen came to the Summit Hall and walked straight in.
"Look, that guy's here."
Fang Chen's arrival quickly attracted the attention of many people, especially Li Xinlong. He walked straight to Fang Chen.
However, the latter ignored Li Xinlong and walked into the Summit Hall.
Suddenly, many nominal disciples widened their eyes.
"Does this guy want to die?"
"What right does he have to enter the Summit Hall?"
"Arrogant, too arrogant. He doesn't know who he is. How dare he enter the Summit Hall."
Many people roared angrily.
Li Xinlong's face was a little gloomy. The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a sinister smile.
"Interesting."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xinlong also walked into the Summit Hall.
The Summit Hall was bustling with activity.
Many disciples were in groups of three or five, exchanging their experiences with each other.
Fang Chen, after glancing around, found a corner and sat down. He lowered his head and pondered.
"Humph, pretentious."
Li Xinlong sneered and immediately walked straight to Fang Chen.
"Fang Chen, I want to challenge you."
Li Xinlong's voice immediately attracted the attention of many disciples in the Summit Hall. They all looked over.
According to the rules of the annual gathering, no matter who issued a challenge, they had to accept it.
However, they were not allowed to maliciously hurt others.
Under everyone's gaze, Fang Chen did not even raise his head. "I don't have time."
This sentence immediately caused Li Xinlong's expression to change drastically.
He clenched his fists, and the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
"You …"
Li Xinlong gritted his teeth and said.
The other disciples frowned. They were somewhat dissatisfied with Fang Chen's performance, but they did not say anything.
In their opinion, such a disciple was not qualified for them to say anything.
"Good, very good. I'd like to see how long you can be arrogant."
Many of the nominal disciples present were geniuses of the Zi Ming Garden. Li Xinlong wanted to make friends with the nobles, so he did not want to lose his temper in front of them and leave a bad impression.
After leaving these cold words, he turned around and left to exchange pointers with the other geniuses.
After a while, many disciples in the Summit Hall had long forgotten about Fang Chen.
Only Zi Qiong's beautiful eyes flickered as she looked curiously at Fang Chen.
"Is he really that confident, or is he just playing to the gallery?"
Zi Qiong murmured.
There were many disciples around who were giving him a fake look. She was tired of this kind of life.
She rejected the other disciples' invitation and walked straight to Fang Chen's side.
Zi Qiong was a famous fairy of the Nominal Peak. Wherever she went, she would be the center of attention.
"Why is Fairy Zi Qiong looking for that guy?"
"Damn it! Is he trying to get Zi Qiong's attention by playing with the crowd?"
For a moment, the crowd seemed to have guessed Fang Chen's intention.
Some of the disciples who admired Fairy Zi Qiong were extremely dissatisfied with Fang Chen.
"Hello, my name is Zi Qiong."
Fairy Zi Qiong introduced herself.
Fang Chen kept his head down and ignored her.
Suddenly, the Summit Hall was filled with curses.
"This guy is too arrogant. He doesn't even give face to Fairy Zi Qiong."
"Humph! He is just a newcomer. How dare he play to the gallery again and again. He is courting death."
Fairy Zi Qiong looked at Fang Chen closely and became even more curious.
She noticed that Fang Chen's body was covered with a layer of Sword Qi. It seemed like he was in a state of enlightenment.
"So he is in a state of enlightenment."
Fairy Zi Qiong nodded. No wonder he ignored her.
"Humph! How dare a piece of trash like him practice Sword Dao?"
"If he dares to accept my challenge, I will make sure he can't take care of himself."
"That's right! How dare he ignore Fairy Zi Qiong! He deserves death!"
Fairy Zi Qiong said proudly.
"Brother Lan, when it comes to Sword Dao, I am afraid no one on the Nominal Peak can match you."
Many disciples cupped their fists and said to the man in blue.
"Senior Brother Lan's Sword Dao is not something ordinary people can compare with."
"That's right! Senior Brother Lan's Sword Dao is more than enough to beat everyone."
"It won't be long before Senior Brother Lan becomes an official disciple."
Someone took the opportunity to ask Senior Brother Lan to explain his understanding of Sword Dao.
"Senior Brother Lan, there are many disciples who practice Sword Dao. Why don't you use this opportunity to enlighten us?
At the same time, show those who are fishing for fame what a real Sword Dao is. "
Seeing this, the man in blue smiled and waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Since everyone loves me so much, I will explain Sword Dao to everyone." Lan Xu said with a smile.
Then, Lan Xu began to talk.
