reax;
In the next few days, Fang Chen continued to familiarize himself with the refining techniques. Finally, after three days, Fang Chen had completely stabilized his refining techniques.
At this time, Gu Zong had nothing to say to Fang Chen.
"Master, I am going to the central region." Fang Chen looked at Gu Zong and said.
Fang Chen knew that Gu Zong had helped Fang Chen, and he was very grateful.
"Your talent is very strong. In a short period of time, you were able to become a refining master. I hope you will not waste your talent." Gu Zong said slowly.
"Although you are going to the central region, you cannot forget refining."
Gu Zong continued: "The central region is not like the western region. In the central region, there are many strong warriors. You must be careful when you go."
Fang Chen nodded. Only those at the fifth level of the Qi Hai realm could enter the central region. One could only imagine how many strong warriors there were in the central region.
Gu Zong took out a yellowed book from his bosom and handed it to Fang Chen. He said, "This is my unique refining technique. It's called the Ancient Shadow Refining Technique. Take it and study it properly."
"Thank you, master." Fang Chen said.
Gu Zong nodded and said: "I still have things to do. Once I am done, I will go to the central region to find you. If you encounter any trouble in the central region, you can use my name. Perhaps you will be able to avoid trouble."
Gu Zong's influence in the western region was extremely strong, but in the central region, his influence was slightly weaker. Even so, Gu Zong's name was like thunder to one's ears.
After that, Fang Chen packed up a little and prepared to set off.
At this time, three familiar faces came to the mansion.
Qin Zhen, Situ Po, and Wen Yu smiled as they looked at Fang Chen. Wen Yu was the first to speak: "Brother Fang, you don't mind if we go with you to the central region, right?"
Wen Yu and the other two had not been willing to go to the central region because they were fighting over Gu Zong's disciples. But now that Gu Zong's disciples had been settled, they had no more regrets. It was time for them to go to the central region.
Coincidentally, they had heard that Fang Chen was also heading to the central region. Although this was a secret to ordinary warriors, it wasn't a secret to the Three Great Sect.
When Wenyu and the other two found out that Fang Chen was heading to the central region, they immediately rushed over.
Back then, Fang Chen had defeated them. Although they had kept their promise, it was naturally impossible for them to become Fang Chen's slaves.
Therefore, they changed their approach.
Seeing this, Fang Chen grinned and nodded.
After bidding farewell to the ancient sect, the four of them walked side by side and left the Western Cloud City. They walked on the official road leading to the central region.
"Brother Fang, you're not someone from my Golden Crown Nation, right?" Wenyu suddenly asked.
Hearing Wenyu's words, Fang Chen nodded and said, "No, I came to the Golden Crown Nation to look for someone."
"Oh, Brother Fang, who are you looking for?" Situ Po asked with interest.
"People from the Luo family," said Fang Chen simply.
"The Luo family is a peak family in the Golden Crown Nation. Wanting to enter the Luo family is extremely difficult," said Qin Zhen.
Even with Fang Chen's group of four's speed, it would take them ten days to travel from the western region to the central region.
In the blink of an eye, five days had passed. During these five days, the four of them were either resting or hurrying.
However, at a certain moment, they stopped.
That was because they had encountered a group from the northern region.
"Aren't those the three peak experts of the western region?"
"Haha, peak experts? They really don't know shame."
"The western region's people are too weak. They think they're peak experts."
These people were from the northern region. They were also heading to the central region. However, the reason they had taken a detour was because there was a danger zone between the northern region and the central region. They didn't want to attract unnecessary trouble.
Now that they had encountered the four from the western region, their faces were filled with ridicule.
"Chen Xu, do you still hold a grudge over that battle back then?" sneered Wenyu.
The leader of the northern region's group was called Chen Xu. He had known Wenyu's group before.
Back then, when Chen Xu's strength was still weak, he had come from the northern region to the western region. However, it was here that he had encountered the most bitter battle of his life.
At that time, Wenyu's strength was much higher than Chen Xu's. After an intense battle, Chen Xu had been defeated. After that, Chen Xu had returned to the northern region and diligently cultivated.
In these years, Chen Xu had successfully stood at the peak of the northern region's younger generation. He had always wanted to find an opportunity to fight Wenyu again.
He hadn't expected that he would actually encounter Wenyu on the way here. Naturally, he would ridicule him.
"Hmph, in that battle back then, my strength was originally weak." sneered Chen Xu.
"But now, I can defeat the four of you by myself."
Chen Xu was extremely arrogant. He took a step forward, directly blocking the path of Fang Chen's group. He wanted to force Fang Chen's group to attack.
"I'll deal with you."
Wenyu's figure flickered. He directly took out his spear and attacked Chen Xu.
Bang! Bang!
Although Wenyu's attack was tyrannical, when facing Chen Xu, he actually felt as if he couldn't exert any strength.
In an instant, Wenyu felt as if his attack had sunk into a swamp, unable to free itself.
"Wenyu, is this all you've improved after all these years?"
Chen Xu looked at Wenyu and sneered. Instantly, he exploded with a powerful attack, directly bombarding Wenyu's body. Immediately, Wenyu's body was continuously pushed back.
Chen Xu's strength completely suppressed Wenyu.
Wenyu stabilized his body and looked at Chen Xu with an ugly expression.
Even Wenyu had been defeated by Chen Xu. Situ Po and Qin Zhen were even less likely to be a match for Chen Xu. The three of their faces slightly changed as they looked at Fang Chen.
"Hmph, the so-called strongest of the western region's younger generation is only so-so." Chen Xu sneered.
"Let's go." Fang Chen slightly shook his head and said.
He didn't want to fight, nor did he want to waste time.
Hearing Fang Chen's words, Wenyu and the other two nodded and turned to leave.
Just at this moment, Chen Xu's furious roar rang out in their ears.
"Did I say you could leave?" Chen Xu icily asked.
Fang Chen, who was moving forward, suddenly stopped. He turned around and looked at Chen Xu with his deep eyes.
"I'm afraid you still don't have the qualifications to decide whether we should leave or stay." Fang Chen softly asked.
"Who do you think you are? Do you have the qualifications to speak to me?" Chen Xu coldly snorted.
A trace of fury appeared in Fang Chen's heart. He slowly walked closer to Chen Xu and said, "I just don't want to waste time."
"You even lost to Wenyu. You dare provoke me?!" raged Chen Xu.
"All of you, come at me together," said Fang Chen.
Hearing Fang Chen's words, Chen Xu became even more furious. This brat was clearly humiliating him.
"I can defeat you by myself!"
Chen Xu let out a low growl and suddenly launched a fierce attack.
BOOM!
Just at this moment, Fang Chen used the fourth level of the Water Flame Sword Art. A tyrannical sword-light directly shattered Chen Xu's attack and stabbed into his shoulder.
Crack!
Chen Xu's shoulder was instantly mangled and blood continuously flowed out.
With a miserable cry, Chen Xu's body was sent flying and he crashed to the ground.
"Let's go."
After doing all this, Fang Chen turned and left.
The current Chen Xu couldn't be bothered with the pain in his shoulder. His eyes were filled with shock.
"How is this possible?!"
Chen Xu could sense that when Fang Chen had used that move, he had felt the world become much dimmer.
"Brother Xu, are you alright?"
Only after Fang Chen and the others had disappeared did Chen Xu's subordinates run over and ask anxiously.
"I'm fine." Chen Xu did his best to endure the pain.
Once more walking on the path, Wenyu and the others felt even more admiration for Fang Chen.
"Brother Fang, you're too strong." Wenyu smiled.
"Yeah, defeating Chen Xu in one move. Hahaha, that's too satisfying." Situ Po laughed.
"Chen Xu was too arrogant. Brother Fang just didn't want to lower himself to his level," said Qin Zhen.
Fang Chen shook his head, not saying anything.
After encountering Chen Xu's group, Fang Chen's group of four had a very smooth journey. Five days later, they safely arrived at the edge of the central region.
Standing on the distant ground, Fang Chen looked ahead. There were countless guards guarding the ground. He couldn't help sighing. As expected of the central region. Even the border was guarded by countless guards. They were afraid that people from other regions would sneak in.
"That's the central region?" asked Fang Chen.
"Yes, that's the central region. There are stone tablets at the border that test your strength. As long as we pass the test, we'll be able to enter," said Wenyu.
Fang Chen's group of four arrived at the border of the central region. However, they were stopped by the guards.
"We want to enter the central region," said Wenyu.
"Where are you from?" The guard asked coldly.
"We're from the west," said Situ Po.
"Attack this stone tablet. Everyone only has one chance. When the white light on the tablet shines, you'll pass the test and you'll be able to enter the central region," said the guard.
Fang Chen and the other three nodded their heads. The first one to take the test was Qin Zhen. He violently punched out, instantly smashing his fist onto the stone tablet.
Buzz
The stone tablet made a sound. In the blink of an eye, a gentle light appeared on the tablet. Seeing this, Qin Zhen withdrew his fist.
"You pass the test."
After the guard finished speaking, Wenyu and Situ Po took the test one after another. They passed the test one after another.
The last one to take the test was Fang Chen. Although he was only at the second Qi Hai realm, his true strength was stronger than Wenyu and the other two. Therefore, he also passed the test.
"Pass the test."
The four of them passed the test. The guard took out four identity badges and said, "These are your identity badges. When you enter the central region, do not wander around. Remember not to lose your identity badges."
Fang Chen's group of four received their identity badges and entered the central region.
"Central region."
After being in the Golden Crown Nation for more than a year, Fang Chen had finally arrived at the core region of the central region.
When he left the Divine Wind Nation, Fang Chen was seventeen years old. Now, he was eighteen years old. In this year, Fang Chen's strength had increased by a lot.
The moment he entered the central region, Fang Chen's heart actually had a trace of desire.
