Five Elements Academy, Sky Pass, first stage arena.
Fang Chen had been cultivating all this while. Time passed quickly.
The more he cultivated, the more he realized that he was stuck at a bottleneck and could not break through. This made Fang Chen very anxious.
However, the more anxious he was, the more he was unable to cultivate.
In this way, it became a vicious cycle.
After entering the Sky Pass for half a month, Fang Chen had already reached the point of madness. However, he still could not break through. His cultivation was still at the peak of the fourth level of the Spiritual Vortex Realm, one step away from the fifth level.
Puchi
At a certain moment, Fang Chen suddenly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was extremely pale.
He stopped cultivating with a bitter smile on his face.
"Why is it so difficult for me to break through?" Fang Chen muttered to himself.
At this moment, Fang Chen's aura was faintly discernible. It was as if he would go berserk at any moment.
"It's already been one and a half months, and I'm still stuck in the first stage. At this rate, when can I reach the third stage?" Fang Chen was very anxious.
Elder Han could only maintain Little Mouse's vitality for half a year. Once half a year passed, Little Mouse would definitely die.
This was not something Fang Chen wanted to see.
"No, I want to break through."
Fang Chen roared angrily. He quickly stood up with the Hidden Star Sword in his hand and continuously brandished the Golden Light Dragon Sword Technique.
Transformative stage Golden Light Dragon Sword Technique constantly shot out from the Hidden Star Sword. Sword intent surged around Fang Chen's body.
Gradually, Fang Chen entered a state of selflessness. He had been frantically executing the Golden Light Dragon Sword Technique. Sword intent surged around his body and there were signs of a breakthrough at any time.
Time passed by slowly.
As Fang Chen executed the sword technique, he realized that there was a huge change in his surroundings. The sword intent around him seemed to have become wild.
"Power of Heaven and Earth."
Fang Chen could clearly feel that the Power of Heaven and Earth around him was frantically pouring into the sword intent around him.
"This is …"
Fang Chen was shocked, but soon a smile appeared on his face.
Under his crazy cultivation, his sword intent actually broke through to the third minor realm, reaching the Perfection Realm.
"Perfect Sword Intent?"
Although there was no breakthrough in his cultivation, Fang Chen was a little happy that his Sword Intent had reached perfection.
After all, Fang Chen's strength had been greatly improved by the Perfection of Sword Essence.
"Let's test out the power of the Golden Dragon Sword Technique."
Fang Chen thought to himself. Then, he activated his Perfect Realm Sword Intent and performed the Golden Light Bright Dragon Sword Technique.
Huala
Fang Chen shook his wrist and a dragon roar came out of the Hidden Star Sword. Then, countless golden sword-lights appeared in the sky. These golden sword-lights were completely condensed from the Perfect Realm of Sword Intent and were very powerful.
"Go!"
Fang Chen bellowed and the golden sword-light in the sky shot off into the distance.
It bombarded the arena with a deafening sound.
However, the arena was not destroyed. This made Fang Chen a little surprised. Wasn't this arena a little too hard?
"Something's not right."
Just as Fang Chen was thinking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The golden heart was beating rapidly and the sword intent around him was constantly absorbing the Power of Heaven and Earth. This scene surprised him.
"What's going on? Even if my Sword Intent has reached the Perfection Realm, it's impossible to absorb the Power of Heaven and Earth like this," Fang Chen said to himself.
At this moment, Ancestor Bronze, who was in the form of a python sword, exclaimed softly. Then, he smiled and said, "Boy, you're really lucky."
"Ancestor, what's wrong?" Fang Chen asked hurriedly.
"Boy, do you know the True Intent?" Ancestor Bronze asked.
Fang Chen nodded. "Of course I do. It's above the Intent Realm."
"You were cultivating your sword technique like a maniac and your mind reached a state of emptiness. You entered an epiphany. Not only did your Sword Intent reach the Perfection Realm, but you also comprehended a trace of the True Intent Wrinkle Shape." Ancestor Bronze's words were filled with excitement.
The True Intent Wrinkle Shape. That was the True Intent Wrinkle Shape.
Once one comprehended the True Intent Wrinkle Shape, one would definitely comprehend the True Intent. It was just a matter of time.
He had not expected that Fang Chen would be able to comprehend the True Intent Wrinkle Shape at the Spiritual Vortex Realm. This was simply a joyous occasion.
"True Intent Wrinkle Shape."
When Fang Chen heard the words' True Intent Wrinkle Shape ', he was stunned. Immediately, his face was filled with ecstasy.
The True Intent Wrinkle Shape, as the name implied, was a wrinkle shape of the True Intent.
Some martialists were unable to comprehend the True Intent Wrinkle Shape in their entire lives. Once they comprehended the True Intent Wrinkle Shape, they would definitely be able to comprehend the True Intent in the following years.
Previously, when Fang Chen was cultivating like a maniac, his Sword Intent had strengthened. By chance, he had comprehended the True Intent Wrinkle Shape.
Fang Chen recalled that when he cultivated his sword technique, he had pushed his Sword Intent to the extreme. His golden heart was also beating rapidly.
"Sword Intent combined with the golden heart allowed me to comprehend the True Intent Wrinkle Shape," Fang Chen said to himself.
If he did not have the Sword Truth Beginner Scroll and the golden heart, it would be very difficult to comprehend the True Intent Wrinkle Shape.
"The True Intent Wrinkle Shape."
Fang Chen could not help but be excited. He was wild with joy.
"Although it is only the True Intent Wrinkle Shape, it is very powerful when used," Ancestor Bronze said.
Hearing this, Fang Chen activated his Sword Intent. He instantly felt the surrounding Heaven and Earth Energy fusing into his Sword Intent. The power in Fang Chen's body also skyrocketed.
"So it is. That means I can pass the first stage." Fang Chen was very excited.
Then, Fang Chen walked to the center of the arena. The beastman instantly appeared.
"Senior, I would like to challenge you," Fang Chen said with a smile.
"You have not made a breakthrough in your cultivation. You are not my match." The beastman shook his head slightly.
Fang Chen did not give up. He said in a deep voice, "I would like to give it a try."
"Okay, then give it a try."
As soon as the beastman finished speaking, his fist suddenly blasted out.
Just as the beastman's attack was about to touch Fang Chen, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Energy suddenly rotated. It forcibly moved the beastman's fist horizontally by an inch.
One inch was not to be underestimated. It was enough for Fang Chen to dodge the beastman's powerful attack.
"This is …"
The beastman did not notice it at first, but when he realized that his fist had moved, he was shocked.
"The True Intent Wrinkle Shape."
What kind of person was the beastman? He instantly discovered that Fang Chen was covered in the True Intent Wrinkle Shape.
He could faintly see that Fang Chen's entire body was covered in a layer of light. In an instant, his attack power sharply increased.
This was the power of the True Intent Wrinkle Shape.
The True Intent Wrinkle Shape could greatly mobilize Heaven and Earth Energy to increase one's strength.
In particular, Fang Chen had comprehended the True Intent Wrinkle Shape of the Sword. It possessed an extremely powerful force.
"Golden Radiant Dragon Sword Technique."
The beastman was speechless. Fang Chen used the Golden Radiant Dragon Sword Technique. The True Intent Wrinkle Shape of the Sword was activated. A sharp aura instantly spread out.
This sword intent had an unimaginable penetrating power. It directly pierced through the beastman's fist and stabbed into his body.
Bang
For the first time in a month and a half, the beastman was forced back by Fang Chen.
After being forced back, the beastman stabilized himself. He did not attack. Instead, he looked at Fang Chen with a burning gaze.
"Genius, you're simply a genius." The beastman could not help but praise.
He could see Fang Chen's cultivation at a glance. He was at the fourth level of the Spiritual Vortex Realm. To be able to comprehend the True Intent Wrinkle Shape meant that he was definitely a genius.
As for the girl from before, she was at the eighth level of the Spiritual Vortex Realm. She also did not comprehend the True Intent Wrinkle Shape.
"Kid, you've passed the first round," the beastman said excitedly.
How could he not be excited? Fang Chen had comprehended the True Intent Wrinkle Shape in the first round. As long as he was given time to hone himself, he would definitely be able to comprehend the True Intent when he entered the third round.
The True Intent of the Sword was considered a powerful True Intent among the many True Intents.
"Thank you, senior."
After speaking, Fang Chen entered the second round. When he saw the beastman, his expression was a little strange.
"Senior," Fang Chen said.
"Kid, your potential is beyond my imagination. However, I can't go easy on you. Therefore, you can only rely on your own strength to pass the second round," the beastman said.
Then, the beastman explained the situation of the second round to Fang Chen.
Fang Chen fought with the beastman and displayed the True Intent Wrinkle Shape. However, he was still defeated by the beastman in the end.
The beastman in the second round was too strong. He was not someone Fang Chen could compare to.
"It's too difficult to defeat the beastman," Fang Chen said to himself.
However, he was only one step away from the third round. He could not stop here.
"I can only try my best to increase my cultivation," Fang Chen said to himself.
While Fang Chen was entering the second round, Star and Moon was still comprehending the True Intent in the third round.
Although her Concept of Yin had reached perfection and she had the Dark Yin Body, it was too difficult for her to comprehend the True Intent.
However, Star and Moon did not give up. She vaguely felt that as long as there was an opportunity, she would be able to comprehend the True Intent.
Five Elements Academy, on the main peak of the Five Elements Peak.
The dean and Elder Han stood side by side. In front of them lay the Little Mouse.
"Dean, do you see anything?" Elder Han asked.
The dean narrowed his eyes and stared at the Little Mouse. After a long while, he said slowly, "If I'm not wrong, this Little Mouse should belong to an extremely domineering mouse race."
"Dean, the bloodline of this Little Mouse is very advanced. It doesn't seem to be a demon from the Ancient Sword Continent," Elder Han continued.
The dean nodded and said, "Is there any news from the Sky Pass?"
Elder Han shook his head and said, "Dean, Fang Chen's potential is heaven-defying. If his cultivation reaches the eighth level of the Spirit Vortex Realm before he tries, he will have a better chance. But now, it seems too difficult."
"The Tri-State Selection is about to begin. We don't have much time. He will be able to survive after bathing," the dean said to himself.
If Fang Chen could survive this round, he would shed his cocoon and become a butterfly.
