The shriveled human skin was an ancient warrior and had seen many things. To Fang Chen, the Three Star Dao Body was very exciting, but to the shriveled human skin, a Three Star Dao Body was nothing.
Fang Chen was speechless, he didn't know what to say.
At this moment, Fang Chen suddenly realized that the Divine Demon Body Refining Technique seemed to be loosening. A smile appeared on his face as he sat cross-legged on the bronze coffin and started to cultivate his Divine Demon Body Refining Technique.
The Divine Demon Body Refining Technique had a total of five stages. Every stage would make the body much stronger.
Before, Fang Chen had cultivated the Divine Demon Body Refining Technique to the first stage. Now that he had merged with the shriveled human skin, Fang Chen's body had reached the Three Star Dao Body. At the same time, the bottleneck of the Divine Demon Body Refining Technique was loosening.
While Fang Chen was cultivating, a disdainful voice came from the demonic longsword, "What kind of Body Refining Technique is this? It's trash."
However, Fang Chen didn't care at all.
Time passed by slowly. In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed. One day, Fang Chen suddenly opened his eyes.
He had successfully broken through to the second stage of the Divine Demon Body Refining Technique, and his body had reached the middle stage from the early stage of the Three Star Dao Body. His body's strength had increased again, which made Fang Chen very happy.
This time's training had allowed Fang Chen's strength to increase by leaps and bounds.
"It's time to go back."
After calculating the time, Fang Chen knew that there wasn't much time left until the Outer Disciple Competition, so he decided to go back.
One day later, Fang Chen returned to the Reverence Sword Sect.
After returning to the Reverence Sword Sect, the first thing Fang Chen heard was that the Reverence Sword Sect's current headmaster had been in seclusion for three years. He had finally come out not long ago, which shocked the entire Sword State City.
"I heard that Tian Jianzi had reached the peak of the ninth level of the Qi Hai realm three years ago. He was even stronger than most of the Martial Lords. Now that he has come out, does that mean that he has reached the Condensing Reality Realm?" Fang Chen said after hearing the news.
However, Fang Chen didn't think much about it. This matter didn't have much to do with him.
Tomorrow was the day of the Sword Worshipping Sect's outer disciples' grand competition. Every time, the top three disciples would be rewarded handsomely by the Sect, and this year was no exception.
Although the Grand Competition had yet to begin, many martial artists were already rubbing their fists and preparing to do their best to enter the Grand Competition's top three.
As for Fang Chen, he was very carefree. After returning, he rested leisurely.
After knowing that Fang Chen had returned, Mo Yiqing's face turned cold. Beside him stood two young disciples, both of whom were ranked in the top 10.
"We must kill Fang Chen in this competition." Mo Yiqing said coldly.
These two disciples were Mo Yiqing's direct subordinates. Mo Yiqing had made up his mind to kill Fang Chen this time.
He didn't want what happened to Zi Xin to happen again. Therefore, he found two of the top ten disciples. Even if one of them failed, the other would still have a chance to kill Fang Chen.
As long as they could kill Fang Chen, Mo Yiqing was willing to pay a high price.
"Elder Mo, don't worry. We will not let you down." The two disciples said while cupping their hands.
Time passed by slowly. In the blink of an eye, it was the second day.
Today was the day of the Outer Disciples' Grand Competition. The Sword Sect was very lively.
Early in the morning, the whole square was packed with people. All the disciples had gathered in the square.
This year's Outer Disciples' Grand Competition was hosted by Tian Jianzi himself. He came to the platform early and looked at the sea of disciples in the square with a smile on his face.
Standing in the crowd, Fang Chen looked at Tian Jianzi on the platform and sighed. He could clearly feel that there was a strong aura coming from Tian Jianzi.
"Condensing Reality Realm expert."
Fang Chen clenched his fists. He didn't know when he would be able to reach the Condensing Reality Realm.
"Strange."
Suddenly, a strange voice came from the spatial ring. However, this voice could only be heard by Fang Chen.
"What?" Fang Chen asked.
"This Tian Jianzi is injured and very weak. I can feel a trace of Yellow Spring Sect's aura on his body."
"Yellow Spring Sect's aura?" Fang Chen's face changed. Tian Jianzi was a Condensing Reality Realm expert. How could he have the aura of the Yellow Spring Sect? Could it be that he was injured by the remnants of the Yellow Spring Sect?
"He should have fought with the remnants of the Yellow Spring Sect."
Hearing this, Fang Chen was shocked. Could it be that the person who fought with Tian Jianzi was a peak guardian of the Yellow Spring Sect?
Fang Chen's mind was in a mess. At this moment, Tian Jianzi slowly stood up and said, "The annual outer disciple competition officially begins today. Before that, I have something to say to everyone."
Tian Jianzi had a great reputation in the Sword Worshipping Sect. As soon as he spoke, the crowd went silent. Countless disciples looked at Tian Jianzi.
"This year's outer disciple competition will be the same as before. The first round will be a battle royale. There are more than a hundred outer disciples. When there are only forty disciples left on the martial stage, the first round will end. Next will be the battles until the top three are decided." Tian Jianzi said.
Everyone nodded. This rule was the same as before.
Then, Tian Jianzi talked about the rewards for the top three.
"According to our discussion, the third place disciple will be rewarded with a spot to enter the Sword Pagoda. The second place disciple will be rewarded with a spot to enter the Sword Pagoda and a low-grade spiritual weapon. As for the first place disciple, other than the spot to enter the Sword Pagoda, he can also make a request. As long as the Sword Worshipping Sect is able to do it, we will definitely help him."
Hearing Tian Jianzi's words, the disciples went crazy. The rewards for the top three this year were much more generous than before.
Not to mention other things, just the spot to enter the Sword Pagoda was enough to make countless disciples drool. It was a spot to enter the Sword Pagoda!
One should know that in the entire Sword Worshipping Sect, outer disciples were not qualified to enter the Sword Pagoda. Only inner disciples could enter the Sword Pagoda.
But the top three in this year's competition actually had a spot to enter the Sword Pagoda. This made countless disciples go crazy.
"Oh my god, there's actually a spot to enter the Sword Pagoda. This is great!" Countless disciples were excited.
Of course, the most exciting thing was the reward for the first place disciple. Being able to make a request to the Sword Worshipping Sect's higher-ups was definitely the most important reward in the history of the competition.
Countless disciples were excited. Tian Jianzi waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. He then said, "The Sword Worshipping Sect is a Two-Star Sect. The disciples must always work hard to show the Sword Worshipping Sect's prestige."
"The competition officially begins."
As soon as Tian Jianzi's voice fell, more than a hundred disciples stepped onto the central stage.
This stage was very big. It was specially built for the outer disciples' competition. It was enough to accommodate more than a hundred cultivators.
The competition officially began. Countless disciples fell into a chaotic battle. Fang Chen looked around and did not make a move. Instead, he walked to a corner.
As if they knew how powerful Fang Chen was, none of the surrounding disciples were willing to attack Fang Chen. They were constantly fighting with the weaker disciples.
Bang! Bang!
Time passed bit by bit. There were constantly weak disciples who were thrown out of the stage. Of course, there were also some disciples who took the initiative to admit defeat.
After half an incense stick's worth of time, there were only seventy disciples left on the stage. More than thirty disciples had been eliminated.
Xia Houwu and the others stood there quietly. They did not make a move. None of the disciples dared to challenge Xia Houwu.
Fang Chen looked around and did not say anything.
However, at this moment, a shadow suddenly appeared beside Fang Chen and attacked Fang Chen.
Xiu
Seeing this, Fang Chen fiercely punched out. Immediately, the shadow was sent flying. Seeing this scene, many of the disciples gasped. They did not dare to challenge Fang Chen anymore.
After half an incense stick's worth of time, the first round of the competition ended. On the stage, there were still forty disciples who stood there quietly.
"The first round of the competition has ended. The remaining forty disciples will enter the second round and fight in pairs." Tian Jianzi announced.
Next was the second round of the competition. Xia Houwu was the first to go on stage. His opponent was a warrior at the peak of the sixth level of the Qi Hai realm.
Before Xia Houwu could make a move, the warrior had already admitted defeat.
"I admit defeat."
The disciple shouted loudly. Facing Xia Houwu, he did not even have the courage to make a move. He could only admit defeat.
Many of the disciples nodded their heads. His decision was wise. Who was Xia Houwu? If he forced himself to fight with Xia Houwu, the result would be a serious injury or even death.
Xia Houwu, relying on his overwhelming strength, made his opponent directly admit defeat.
The next few battles were all between the top 10 outer disciples. Their opponents also admitted defeat one after another.
After half an hour, it was finally Fang Chen's turn.
Fang Chen's opponent was a warrior at the mid seventh level of the Qi Hai realm. He was ranked in the top twenty of the outer disciples.
When he found out that his opponent was Fang Chen, a smile appeared on his face. Although Fang Chen's strength was tyrannical, he was confident that he could defeat Fang Chen.
"Fang Chen, everyone says that you have the strength to enter the top ten. I want to see how you will defeat me." The disciple said coldly.
Fang Chen shook his head slightly and said: "You are not my opponent."
Hearing Fang Chen's words, the disciple's eyes were filled with anger. He said in a low voice: "Hmph, arrogant guy."
As soon as the disciple finished speaking, he suddenly exploded with a tyrannical strength and launched a fierce attack towards Fang Chen.
At this moment, the aura around Fang Chen's body exploded.
At that moment, Tian Jianzi, who was on the martial arts practice platform, was astonished.
"Hmm? Fourth level of the Qi Hai realm?" Tian Jianzi was puzzled.
"Senior brother, I personally recruited this disciple. His talent is monstrous. Although he is only at the fourth level of the Qi Hai realm, he can instantly kill a warrior at the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm." Jian Wufeng said with a smile.
When he recruited Fang Chen, he felt that there was a majestic sword intent within Fang Chen's body.
Although the sword intent did not belong to Fang Chen, he concluded that Fang Chen was a genius sword cultivator.
Sure enough, Fang Chen did not disappoint him. In such a short time after entering the Sword Sect, he had grown to such a level.
Xiu
Fang Chen clenched his fist. He did not even take out a weapon. The powerful strength of the Three Star Dao Body gathered on his fist and punched out.
Bang
