If it was before, Fang Chen wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant. However, it was different now. His Water Concept had reached the second minor realm, and his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds. Moreover, his Dao Body had reached the Three-Star level. All of this had caused Fang Chen's strength to increase rapidly.
Facing Yue Kunshan's attack, Fang Chen's expression was very calm.
Crash!
Wild sword intent appeared around Fang Chen's body. In the next moment, he held the Hidden Star Sword in his hand and casually waved it. Suddenly, an extremely wild sword-light was emitted from the Hidden Star Sword.
This sword-light was formed from the two Concepts of Water and Fire. It was extremely powerful.
"This …"
Seeing the power of the Fire and Water Sword Technique, even Tian Jianzi's face revealed a trace of shock.
"It seems like Fang Chen's strength isn't as simple as it seems on the surface," Tian Jianzi said.
Boom!
With a loud sound, Fang Chen's Hidden Star Sword suddenly stabbed towards Yue Kunshan.
At the same time, the majestic sword-light in the sky directly attacked Yue Kunshan.
Whoosh!
After the two Concepts of Water and Fire had reached the second minor realm, the power of the Fire and Water Sword Technique had once again increased. This time, the sixth level of the Fire and Water Sword Technique that Fang Chen had displayed was enough to shock Xiahou Wu.
Boom!
With a loud sound, the Fire and Water Sword-Light in the sky immediately bombarded Yue Kunshan's sword-light. Immediately after, Fang Chen's Hidden Star Sword collided with Yue Kunshan's longsword.
With a cracking sound, Yue Kunshan's longsword loudly shattered. Immediately after, the sword-light above his head also shattered.
Bang!
Yue Kunshan's body was heavily sent flying, and he fell to the ground. His face was incomparably pale, and his eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Fang Chen.
"This …"
Even Yue Kunshan hadn't expected that Fang Chen's strength would be so strong. He was too strong. When Fang Chen used his Cultivation Technique, he felt as if a wild beast was in front of him.
"Who else is there?"
At this moment, Fang Chen's entire body was emitting a wild aura, as if he was a wild beast.
The Zhu Yuan duo only recovered from their shock when they heard Fang Chen's voice. There was a tinge of fear in their eyes as they looked at Fang Chen.
"How could he be this powerful?" Zhu Yuan wondered to himself.
For Zhu Yuan to be able to reach this level, his IQ was naturally very high. He had the deepest impression of the power that Fang Chen had just unleashed.
With Fang Chen's current strength, he had no chance of winning against Fang Chen.
"Damn it! He must have had a fortuitous encounter!" Zhu Yuan screamed silently. However, he didn't step forward to fight Fang Chen.
He knew that he was no match for Fang Chen.
Zhu Yuan didn't want to fight with Fang Chen, so naturally, the other disciple also didn't want to fight with Fang Chen. Now, only Xiahou Wu was left.
Fang Chen looked at Xiahou Wu. It just so happened that Xiahou Wu was also looking at him.
"Fang Chen, your strength has exceeded my expectations." Xia Houwu said faintly.
When Fang Chen had first entered the Sword Reverence Sect, Xiahou Wu hadn't even recognized him. But later, Fang Chen had gradually revealed his talent. At that time, Xiahou Wu had begun to pay attention to Fang Chen.
In the Grand Competition not long ago, although Fang Chen's strength was valiant and had stunned countless disciples, Xiahou Wu still believed that although Fang Chen's strength was strong, it was not enough to threaten his position.
So Xiahou Wu had only treated Fang Chen as an ordinary opponent.
But later, when the Sky Piercing Divine Pillar had appeared, Fang Chen had suppressed him and taken first place in the Sky Piercing Divine Pillar. Only then did Xiahou Wu realize that Fang Chen was truly unfathomable. He couldn't see through Fang Chen.
And just now, Yuekun Shan hadn't even been able to block one of Fang Chen's attacks. This made Xiahou Wu's heart ripple.
The sword technique that Fang Chen had used was formed from the combination of the two intents of water and fire. It was extremely powerful.
Moreover, with Xiahou Wu's insight, he naturally knew that Fang Chen's Water and Fire Concepts had respectively reached the second minor level.
To be able to cultivate two intents at the same time and reach the second minor realm was enough to see how strong Fang Chen was.
"I'll only use one move." Xiahou Wu nodded at Fang Chen.
Fang Chen faintly nodded. In the next instant, the sword intent around his body skyrocketed. The Hidden Star Sword in his hand drew a strange trajectory in the air.
Wherever the Hidden Star Sword passed, the sword light of water and fire would burst forth. The majestic sword light, under Fang Chen's control, gathered together and formed a peerless Battle Weapon.
And at this moment, a soft sword appeared in the hands of Xiahou Wu, who was facing Fang Chen. His face was filled with a calm expression as he looked at Fang Chen and casually waved his soft sword.
Xiu
A dull sword light shot out from the soft sword and directly attacked Fang Chen. Seeing this dull sword light, Fang Chen's pupils shrank and his figure immediately dodged.
"This sword intent …"
In Fang Chen's heart, a storm was set off. Xiahou Wu's sword intent was much stronger than his own sword intent.
"Sixth level of the Water and Fire Sword Technique."
At this moment, Fang Chen displayed the sixth level of the Water and Fire Sword Technique. The Hidden Star Sword heavily collided with the dull sword light.
Boom
A loud sound rang out and a wild sword intent engulfed the entire Reverence Sword Peak.
All the warriors opened their eyes wide and looked at the Reverence Sword Peak. They wanted to see who exactly had lost.
After the smoke dispersed, Fang Chen and Xiahou Wu quietly stood on the Reverence Sword Peak. On their faces, there was a trace of a smile.
Even Tian Jianzi did not know who had the upper hand in this battle.
But at this moment, the smile on Xiahou Wu's face disappeared. Immediately after, a wild aura emerged from Xiahou Wu's body.
In the next moment, a rumbling sound came from within Xiahou Wu's body.
"He broke through!"
Seeing this scene, everyone cried out in surprise. Xiahou Wu had actually broken through to the eighth level of the Qi Hai realm at this moment.
"Fang Chen, the title of Tian Jianzi is yours."
Actually, Xiahou Wu could have broken through long ago, but he had been suppressing his cultivation level. He had thought that this time he would be able to obtain the title of Tian Jianzi, but now it seemed that there was no need to suppress his cultivation level.
"I will wait for you in the Inner Sect."
Xiahou Wu had broken through to the eighth level of the Qi Hai realm and naturally became an Inner Sect disciple. And Fang Chen had become the Heaven Jianzi of the Reverence Sword Sect and the new number one in the Outer Sect.
Until Xiahou Wu left, no one understood why Xiahou Wu had voluntarily given up the title of Tian Jianzi.
Only Fang Chen was clear. In the battle just now, he had reached the sixth level of the Water and Fire Sword Technique and its power had increased tremendously. Xiahou Wu had also felt that Fang Chen's strength had increased, so after one strike, he had decided to give up.
If he had fought with all his strength, Xiahou Wu believed that even if he had fought until the end, he and Fang Chen would have both been injured. In his opinion, this result meant that he had already lost.
His cultivation had reached the peak of the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm, while Fang Chen was only at the fourth level of the Qi Hai realm.
Thus, Xiahou Wu had broken through to the eighth level of the Qi Hai realm on the spot and had given up the title of Tian Jianzi.
Looking at Xiahou Wu's back as he left, Fang Chen nodded slightly. This Xiahou Wu was a real man.
"Since it is like this, then I will now officially announce that Fang Chen is the Heaven Jianzi of the Reverence Sword Sect for this term. Do you have any objections?" Tian Jianzi asked loudly.
The entire square was dead silent. Fang Chen's strength was obvious to all. Naturally, no one dared to object.
Just like this, Fang Chen had become the second Heaven Jianzi of the Reverence Sword Sect after Tian Jianzi.
The moment Fang Chen became the Heaven Jianzi, a boundless Sword Qi from the Heaven Piercing Pillar suddenly rushed into Fang Chen's body.
Baptism of Sword Qi, this was something that every Heaven Jianzi would experience.
Everyone looked at Fang Chen who was being baptized by the Heaven Piercing Pillar's Sword Qi, and their eyes were filled with envy.
After fifteen minutes, the Sword Qi baptism ended and the Outer Competition ended. Tian Jianzi was the leader of the Reverence Sword Sect's upper echelons, and they all congratulated Fang Chen.
"Fang Chen, you brat, you really hid your strength well. You actually made Xia Houwu give up on the fight for the Heavenly Sword Son." Jian Wufeng had a pretty good relationship with Fang Chen and said with a chuckle.
"Yes, you are too strong." The other Elders laughed.
Next up was the reward for the top three of this term's Outer Competition. The three of them all received a spot to enter the Sword Pagoda, and Fang Chen could also make a request to Tian Jianzi.
After everyone had left, Tian Jianzi looked at Fang Chen and laughed: "Fang Chen, as the winner of this term's Outer Disciple Competition, other than the spot to enter the Sword Pagoda, what other requests do you have?"
Fang Chen pondered for a moment before saying, "Sect master, I want to enter the Ancestral Land to cultivate."
Hearing Fang Chen's words, Tian Jianzi and Jian Wufeng's expressions instantly changed. A cold light flashed in their eyes.
"Fang Chen, why do you want to enter the Ancestral Land to cultivate?" asked Tian Jianzi.
Others might not know, but Tian Jianzi was the clearest about the situation inside the Ancestral Land. He had used the Absolute Heaven Sword Formation with great difficulty to seal the Ancestral Land, not allowing the remaining members of the Yellow Spring Sect to come out. How could he send Fang Chen, the new Heaven Jianzi, to his death?
"I heard that the Sword Reverence Sword Sect's Ancestral Land is where the past sect masters are buried. That place is filled with dense sword intent. Cultivating there will definitely be twice the result with half the effort," said Fang Chen.
"No, Fang Chen, we won't agree to your condition," said Jian Wufeng directly.
Fang Chen was stunned. He didn't understand why Jian Wufeng had directly rejected his request. He couldn't figure it out no matter how much he thought about it.
"Fang Chen, we can't agree to your request. The Ancestral Land is a forbidden area of the Sword Reverence Sword Sect. Ordinary people can't enter."
Tian Jianzi continued, "You can go back first. Once you've thought of other requests, you can come tell me."
After saying that, Tian Jianzi led Jian Wufeng and the others away.
After returning to the courtyard, Fang Chen was speechless.
"Senior, why did you make me make such a request?" asked Fang Chen.
So it was Ancestor Bronze who had made Fang Chen make such a request. As for why, Fang Chen didn't understand.
Ancestor Bronze was the shriveled skin within the bronze coffin. His remnant will had entered the python sword and hidden it within Fang Chen's spatial ring. He was looking forward to the day when he could reform his physical body.
Fang Chen had only learned later that he was called Ancestor Bronze. Perhaps it had been too long, but Fang Chen didn't remember such a peerless expert.
