Sparring partners had the lowest status in the Ancient Cold Sect. Their lives were also the most worthless.
They were casually ordered around by others, and the Ancient Cold Sect disciples would do their best to fight. Every time a sparring session ended, it would be the happiest thing for them if they were still alive.
"Li Mo, quickly go to the disciples' area and be Li Tianxiang's sparring partner."
Elder Cold Sky's voice reached the sparring area, and many cultivators shook their heads.
As for Li Mo, who was happily chatting with others, he was instantly dejected.
This was because he knew that it would be difficult for him to return alive.
Many sparring partners walked over and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
Li Mo left and never came back.
That night, news of Li Mo's death spread. The entire sparring area instantly fell silent.
Although sparring partners had to be prepared for death, everyone would feel fear when they were close to death.
As for those sparring partners who had a bad relationship with Li Mo, they also mourned for him at this moment.
When facing the Ancient Cold Sect, all the sparring partners in the sparring area were like a family.
In the hundredth courtyard.
"Master, Li Mo is dead."
The fat general reported the news to Fang Chen.
When Fang Chen heard this, he was slightly stunned. "Is this what happens to sparring partners?"
Hearing Fang Chen's words, the fat general said, "It's very difficult for sparring partners like us to have a good ending. However, there are still countless cultivators in the ninety-nine continents who crazily think of ways to enter the Ancient Cold Sect as sparring partners. This is because they use sparring partners as a springboard to achieve their goals.
"However, almost all of them died in the Ancient Cold Sect after becoming sparring partners."
"Has no one ever succeeded?" Fang Chen continued to ask.
"Yes, but it's a pity that they were one-in-a-million prodigies."
The fat general said, "Ten thousand years ago, a peerless prodigy appeared in the sparring area. During his sparring career, he killed a total of one hundred prodigies in the Ancient Cold Sect. There were even peak prodigies among them who were at the peak of the Life Ancient Realm. In the end, he was accepted by the Ancient Cold Sect, and his status changed. He became a high and mighty prodigy.
"After that, he unleashed all of his hidden potential and became the top disciple of the Ancient Frigid Sect, becoming famous throughout the world.
Of course, this kind of thing rarely happens. In the past ten thousand years, there has only been one person like this. "Fatty smiled bitterly.
If it were that easy, they wouldn't be here as sparring partners.
"Oh?"
Fang Chen's heart skipped a beat. He was curious about this genius who had killed a hundred disciples of the Ancient Frigid Sect.
Next, Fatty began to explain some of the rules of the Ancient Cold Sect to Fang Chen.
After listening, Fang Chen finally understood.
It turned out that being a sparring partner was not completely hopeless. The Ancient Frigid Sect would also examine prodigies with monstrous potential and nurture them.
Of course, once he was determined to be a sparring partner, it was almost impossible for him to make a comeback.
Unless the upper echelons of the Ancient Frigid Sect thought highly of him and were willing to step forward.
This method was too difficult, and no one dared to ask for it.
Apart from that, there was another method, which was to become a disciple of the Ancient Frigid Sect by killing a hundred disciples like the genius from ten thousand years ago.
This was the most likely chance of success for many sparring partners in the sparring area.
"In that case, the upper echelons won't say anything if I kill a disciple of the Ancient Frigid Sect as a sparring partner?" Fang Chen asked hurriedly.
Fatty nodded. "That's right. The Ancient Frigid Sect is different from other Sects. It's relatively crueler.
Only after passing through layers of selection can one be considered a core disciple of the Ancient Frigid Sect. If you die in battle as a sparring partner, you can only say that you're not qualified to be a disciple of the Ancient Frigid Sect. "
One had to know that prodigies would appear in the 99 continents all the time.
Therefore, the Ancient Frigid Sect never lacked prodigies.
Fang Chen nodded and had a plan in his heart.
A few days later, a group of sparring partners gathered outside the hundredth courtyard.
"Fang Chen, get out here."
The leader of the sparring partners had a scar on his face and exuded a terrifying aura.
He was also quite famous in the sparring area and was believed to be the cultivator most likely to defeat Fatty. His name was Jin Xuan.
"A mere newbie dares to be so arrogant. He's courting death."
"That's right. Fatty is a servant of a newbie. He's simply an embarrassment to our sparring area. Get out of the sparring area."
Around Jin Xuan, many sparring partners cursed Fang Chen in order to curry favor with him.
Creak!
The door opened and Fatty walked out.
"My master said that none of you are qualified to make him fight," Fatty said.
Hearing this, Jin Xuan was even more furious. "Get him out here if you have the ability. Watch how I kill him."
Fatty shook his head and closed the door without saying anything else.
"Damn it, he's too arrogant. He doesn't even give face to Brother Jin Xuan."
"Fatty is just like a dog."
Many sparring partners roared angrily. However, at this moment, Elder Tianhan's voice rang out again.
"Fang Chen, quickly go to the disciple area and be Li Tianxiang's sparring partner."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of discussion could be heard.
Many people were secretly delighted, and their faces were full of mockery.
"Hmph, let him continue acting. Now, a newbie going up against Li Tianxiang is simply courting death."
"Hahaha, Brother Jin Xuan doesn't need to do anything. He definitely won't be able to walk back to the sparring area alive."
"Idiot, go to hell."
Countless mocking voices could be heard in the courtyard.
Fang Chen shook his head and walked out of the courtyard. Immediately, the noise disappeared and everyone's eyes fell on him.
"Brat, you're Fang Chen?"
Jin Xuan asked arrogantly.
"As sparring partners, it's fine if you don't work together, but you even have internal strife. I really feel sorry for you."
Leaving behind those words, Fang Chen walked away.
Everyone looked at each other. Only Jin Xuan bared his teeth, wishing that he could personally tear off Fang Chen's head.
"Stop pretending. I'd like to see how you'll survive from Li Tianxiang's hands."
…
Li Tianxiang was an official disciple, and his cultivation base was at the Life Ancient Realm. However, his strength was far from Wang Heng's.
Fang Chen soon arrived at the disciples' area. A black-robed man stood in the square with his hands behind his back. A breeze blew, causing his robes to flutter. He had a very strong confidence and a mocking smile on his face.
"Are you new?"
Li Tianxiang asked when he saw Fang Chen.
Fang Chen nodded. "Elder Tianhan, why did you send me a new sparring partner?"
"Although this person's cultivation base is at the Star Ancient Realm, his combat strength is comparable to the Life Ancient Realm. He's a strong opponent. Don't underestimate him," Elder Tianhan reminded.
Unfortunately, Li Tianxiang was arrogant and disdainful. He didn't put Fang Chen in his eyes at all.
"One move."
Li Tianxiang said, "I only need one move to kill you."
Fang Chen raised his head and looked at Li Tianxiang seriously. Then, he suddenly asked, "Did you kill Li Mo?"
"Are you talking about that trash?
He couldn't even take one move from me. What qualifications does he have to be a sparring partner?
What a waste of our Ancient Frigid Sect's resources. "Li Tianxiang sneered.
Fang Chen shook his head. "It's all for survival. Why do you have to be so ruthless?"
"Who do you think you are? How dare you point fingers at me here?"
Li Tianxiang said angrily. "That's right. I'm sure you have a certain understanding of me. You know that I never leave anyone alive."
Li Tianxiang thought that Fang Chen knew that he couldn't leave alive, so he didn't care about anything else.
"Don't worry. I'll give you a quick death."
Li Tianxiang said, "Since you care so much about Li Mo, I'll immediately send you to see him."
As soon as he said that, a wild aura spread out from Li Tianxiang's body. He wanted to suppress Fang Chen with his monstrous aura.
Unfortunately, his wishful thinking was wrong.
"You keep saying that others are trash. Who would have thought that in my eyes, you're trash too?"
Fang Chen murmured as Li Tianxiang's attack came towards him.
Then, he punched out.
… …
In the sparring area, many people, including Jin Xuan, were waiting for good news.
"Why hasn't there been any news yet?" Jin Xuan asked.
"I think that guy is being killed by Li Tianxiang."
"That's right. Brother Jin Xuan, don't be impatient. Li Tianxiang never leaves anyone alive. He's dead for sure."
"It's fine if a newcomer doesn't know the rules, but he still dares to be arrogant."
Many people were extremely dissatisfied with Fang Chen.
However, just as everyone was waiting for the news, a figure approached from afar and returned to the sparring area.
Looking from afar, that figure was so imposing and so shocking.
"Hmm?"
Some of the sparring partners had sharp eyes and immediately saw Fang Chen.
