"A trash at the third level of the Mystic King Realm dares to join the third guardian squad?"
Xue Yonglong's voice echoed in the courtyard.
It was only then that many old people noticed Fang Chen. Their eyes were filled with astonishment.
How could a low-level Mystic King Realm martial artist pass the test and join the third guardian squad?
Could it be that he got in through the back door?
Thinking of this, many old people looked at Fang Chen with unfriendly eyes.
Xue Yonglong's cultivation was at the eighth level of the Mystic King Realm. He was slightly inferior to Jin Yidao.
He was filled with anger when he noticed Fang Chen.
Fang Chen was helpless. He was definitely unjustly implicated.
"I passed the test. Naturally, I can join," Fang Chen said calmly. There was no fear in his eyes.
"I, Xue Yonglong, will be the first to not believe that you can pass the test with your strength," Xue Yonglong said in a deep voice.
Although he had a bad temper, he had a strong sense of belonging to the third guardian squad.
A third-level Mystic King Realm martial artist joining the third guardian squad made Xue Yonglong very angry.
At this moment, Jin Yidao said, "This person is the overall champion of the test."
"What overall champion?"
Xue Yonglong sneered.
He didn't believe that Fang Chen could take first place.
"Let me test your strength."
Xue Yonglong shouted and attacked Fang Chen.
Seeing this, Fang Chen used the Space-Time True Intent.
Crash!
His figure disappeared into the void. Xue Yonglong's punch missed.
"Space-type True Intent."
Xue Yonglong said and continued to attack.
Fang Chen constantly used the Space-Time True Intent to dodge, but Xue Yonglong was still able to catch some traces.
Bang!
At a certain moment, just as Fang Chen's figure was revealed, Xue Yonglong's fist came crashing down.
With a bang, Fang Chen was caught off guard and was hit by Xue Yonglong's fist.
Fortunately, the peak Saint Realm Sword Body was activated in time and blocked 90% of the attack. Fang Chen was forced to retreat.
After stabilizing himself, Fang Chen looked at Xue Yonglong with flickering eyes.
"That's all there is to it." Xue Yonglong sneered.
Right at that moment, Hu Ming appeared.
"Stop!"
Hu Ming was the opponent of the Third Guardian Squad, and he possessed great deterrence.
His appearance immediately stopped Xue Yonglong.
"Captain, you came at the right time." Before Xue Yonglong could finish, Hu Ming interrupted him.
"Xue Yonglong, what are you doing?" shouted Ho Ming.
"Captain!"
"Fang Chen has a cultivation base. For you to attack him, are you seeking death?" asked Hu Ming.
Hearing this, Xue Yonglong turned pale with fright.
"That's impossible. He just joined the Third Guardian Squad and hasn't been given a rank yet." Xue Yonglong shook his head and didn't believe what Hu Ming said.
The other elders nodded in agreement.
Every martial artist who joined the Sky Sword Mansion could only be considered to have a rank after they were given a rank.
As for these newcomers, they had just arrived at the Third Guardian Squad. How could they have a rank?
"Idiot, this person was personally chosen by His Excellency the City Lord. When the test ended, His Excellency the City Lord had already given this person a rank," Hu Ming said.
Xue Yonglong's heart sank.
His Excellency the City Lord had personally given this person a rank, and he had even personally chosen this person to be first place.
"How is this possible?"
Xue Yonglong was unable to accept this.
As for the other elders, they looked at each other in dismay. They clearly hadn't expected things to turn out like this.
The eyes of the other newcomers were filled with envy.
They had yet to obtain a rank, but Fang Chen had already obtained one. That was the difference.
"Hmph, the City Lord personally gave you a rank, and you still dare to question it?" Hu Ming's expression was unkind.
Xue Yonglong's heart gradually calmed down.
The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became.
Fang Chen had a rank. If he had injured or killed Fang Chen just now, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
Then, under everyone's gazes, Xue Yonglong walked in front of Fang Chen and cupped his hands in apology. "Brother, I've offended you. Please forgive me."
With a rank, he would receive the Sky Sword Mansion's protection.
Furthermore, this person had been personally chosen by the City Lord. Even if Xue Yonglong had a hundred times more courage, he wouldn't dare act rashly.
"It's fine." Fang Chen shrugged.
Although Xue Yonglong had a bad temper, his nature was still alright.
Xue Yonglong was overjoyed.
As long as Fang Chen didn't pursue this matter, then he wouldn't need to be punished.
"Behave yourself in the future." Hu Ming looked at Fang Chen and said, "Fang Chen, come with me."
After Fang Chen and Hu Ming left, Xue Yonglong returned to his room like a frozen eggplant.
As for the other elders, they no longer watched and scattered.
City Lord's Mansion, Conference Hall.
There was a figure sitting on a black throne.
This figure was surrounded by dense sword qi.
Looking carefully, the black throne was covered in engravings of sword-shaped symbols.
"City Lord, Fang Chen has arrived." A voice rang out.
"Come in." An ancient voice rang out from the throne.
Creak.
The door opened and Hu Ming brought Fang Chen into the Conference Hall.
"Greetings to the City Lord." Hu Ming cupped his hands towards Fang Chen.
"Not bad." The City Lord nodded with a smile.
"I've investigated your information. You should be from the Mortal Continent, right?"
Fang Chen nodded.
"Your cultivation is only at the Third Level Mystic King Realm, but your potential is stronger than a Eighth Level Mystic King Realm martial artist. You can easily break the Nine Layers Seal that I set up. It's only a matter of time before you enter the Heaven Star Border Realm."
Hearing the City Lord's words, Hu Ming was shocked.
He had been at the limit of the Mystic King Realm for a long time, but he couldn't enter the Heaven Star Border Realm.
Fang Chen was only at the Third Level Mystic King Realm, but the City Lord said that it was only a matter of time before he entered the Heaven Star Border Realm.
It seemed like Fang Chen's potential was truly heaven-defying.
"You're the first in the comprehensive assessment. You should receive the reward you deserve." Suddenly, the City Lord said.
Fang Chen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the first place in the comprehensive assessment would receive a reward.
"The reward this time is a Rank Two Divine Weapon. Choose one." The City Lord said.
Hearing this, Fang Chen and Hu Ming were both shocked.
They didn't expect the reward to be so generous.
Rank Two Divine Weapons were very rare in the Sky Sword Prefecture.
Even in the Demon Cloud Prefecture's capital, they were very precious.
"Rank Two Divine Weapon!"
Fang Chen's eyes flickered. He then looked at the City Lord and said, "City Lord, I have a Divine Weapon. It's an ordinary Divine Weapon, but it's something that I painstakingly nurtured. May I know what it is?"
"You want me to raise your Divine Weapon to the Rank Two level?" The City Lord asked.
Fang Chen nodded. He was a little nervous.
The City Lord was high and mighty. He didn't know if he would agree to his request.
"Okay." The City Lord said.
"Take out your weapon."
Fang Chen took out the Hidden Star Sword and handed it to the City Lord.
"Come and get the sword in three days."
After saying that, the City Lord disappeared.
"Fang Chen, congratulations." Hu Ming grinned.
In his heart, he was very envious of Fang Chen.
He, Hu Ming, had never owned a Rank Two Divine Weapon, but Fang Chen had obtained one with his cultivation.
However, the Rank Two Divine Weapon was given by the City Lord, so he didn't have the slightest greedy thought.
Hu Ming walked out of the meeting hall with Fang Chen. Suddenly, his body shook and a voice appeared in his mind.
Then, Hu Ming looked at Fang Chen thoughtfully.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, it was the time for the third guard to choose the vice-captain.
Three hundred old people and two hundred new people were qualified to compete for the vice-captain position.
However, some weak martial artists directly gave up.
Among the new people, only five experts were ready to compete.
Among the old people, there were many martial artists who wanted to compete.
However, the one who had the most support was Huyan Long.
Huyan Long's cultivation had reached the early ninth level of the Profound King Realm. He was the strongest expert in the third guard, second only to Hu Ming.
It was natural for him to become the vice-captain.
Even before Hu Ming arrived, Hu Yanlong had already challenged the five strongest newcomers.
"After defeating the five of you, no one will compete with me for the vice-captain position."
Hu Yanlong's strength was very strong. He fought five battles in a row and defeated the five newcomers in a thunderous manner.
"I, Hu Yanlong, am the vice-captain. Is there anyone else who doesn't agree?" Huyan Long looked around and shouted.
Everyone shook their heads in agreement.
However, at this moment, Hu Ming appeared.
