Three days had passed in the blink of an eye.
Qinchuan sat cross-legged at the edge of the canyon with his eyes closed. He seemed to be in a dream.
Not far away, Lion Duke saw Qinchuan's current state and nodded with satisfaction. He whispered, "Not bad. You've honed your sword heart in just three days. You're a genius."
In fact, Lion Duke brought Qinchuan here to hone his sword heart. He didn't think that Qinchuan would succeed. He could only say that Qinchuan's talent in swordsmanship exceeded his expectations.
Once he honed his sword heart, Qinchuan would be able to comprehend the Milky Way Sword Will. After some more training, he would be able to transform the Milky Way Sword Will into his own Sword Will. At that time, Qinchuan would become more well-rounded, and his combat power would skyrocket!
Just as Lion Duke was thinking about these things, Qinchuan finally woke up from his drowsy state. He slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were clear and bright, as if there was a galaxy made up of countless stars flowing in his eyes. It was extremely gorgeous!
Phew.
Qinchuan opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of turbid air. He then stood up and looked at Lion Duke not far away. He smiled, "Big Cousin, it's done!"
"It's done. Then let's go. It won't be long before the third round begins." Lion Duke laughed, "I hope we won't be late."
"Big Cousin, not only did I hone my sword heart, but I also seem to have obtained other opportunities." Qinchuan looked at Lion Duke, "I seem to have inadvertently absorbed a trace of the Milky Way Sword Will."
Lion Duke was stunned. It was the first time he had heard of such a thing. But it sounded like a good thing.
…
In Mountain City, there were still two hours before the third stage of the competition began. The arena was already packed with people. The streets and alleys were all talking about this battle. The most talked about topic was the name list of the gatekeepers for the third stage.
Compared to the list of gatekeepers from the previous round, the list this time was not luxurious, but overall, it was stronger. This was because the gatekeeper this time was from the Lianshan Stronghold!
The Lianshan Stronghold was most famous for their joint attack technique. The more people there were, the stronger their joint attack technique would be. There was once when three Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators joined forces to fight against a Golden Core Stage cultivator without being at a disadvantage. This time, as the gatekeeper, the Lianshan Stronghold sent out a joint attack formation consisting of ten Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators!
Although these ten people were only in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, they had once seriously injured a Golden Core cultivator when they joined forces. They had made a great name for themselves in the World Mountain!
Therefore, the audience was looking forward to this battle. They all wanted to see if Qinchuan could defeat the so-called invincible ten-man combination!
While everyone was discussing this matter, Zhong Chuyu finally received news that Qinchuan and Lion Duke had returned.
"Madam, Qinchuan and that person are back.
According to our people's observation, Qinchuan's spirit has undergone a great change compared to three days ago. After investigation, we can confirm that they went to the Sword God Gorge thousands of miles away in the past three days. "
"Sword God Gorge?"
Zhong Chuyu looked at Uncle Zhong in surprise. "That person took Qinchuan to comprehend the Milky Way Sword Intent?"
"Judging from Qinchuan's performance, it shouldn't be to comprehend the Sword Intent, but to sharpen his Sword Heart."
Uncle Zhong said to Zhong Chuyu, "In the previous two battles, Qinchuan didn't show his Sword Intent. I think he hasn't comprehended it yet. Moreover, the Milky Way Sword Intent in the Sword God Gorge isn't so easy to comprehend."
"What you said makes sense. I took it for granted."
Zhong Chuyu said thoughtfully, "In that case, this person isn't a bad person. At least, he's not bad to Qinchuan. Otherwise, he wouldn't help Qinchuan sharpen his Sword Heart."
Zhong Chuyu and Uncle Zhong both watched the whole process of Qinchuan's previous two battles. Although Qinchuan's sword moves were very strong, there was no Sword Intent. They could naturally see that Lion Duke took Qinchuan to sharpen his Sword Heart to improve Qinchuan's strength. If Lion Duke wanted to harm Qinchuan, there was no reason to help Qinchuan improve his strength.
"In addition, we have a new discovery. There are other people who are also paying attention to Qinchuan."
Uncle Zhong looked at Zhong Chuyu with a strange look and said, "It's two young Monster Clan women."
Zhong Chuyu couldn't help but be stunned. She asked curiously, "Monster Clan women?"
Uncle Zhong nodded his head, "I haven't investigated their specific identity. But they are acquainted with arena manager Fierce Bull. Moreover, Fierce Bull thinks highly of them."
Zhong Chuyu looked at Uncle Zhong with a subtle look and said, "Be careful, keep an eye on them. If they don't have any malice to Qinchuan, then don't worry about them. But if they want to harm Qinchuan, then deal with them secretly!"
… …
"Princess, we seem to be being watched."
Ma Jiawen looked at Yaorao with dignified look and said to Yaorao, "I found out that someone is secretly following us."
Yaorao slightly narrowed her eyes and asked, "Do you know who it is?"
"I don't know."
Ma Jiawen shook her head, "We don't have any manpower here, so it's not easy to investigate. I want to borrow the power of Fierce Bull to investigate those people."
"Okay."
Yaorao nodded her head and said, "Pay attention, if the other party doesn't have any malice, then there's no need to fight. We came here to watch the competition, so there's no need to have unnecessary conflict."
"I know." Ma Jiawen nodded her head, "But if you let them know your identity … …"
"Don't worry, in World Mountain, I don't think anyone has the guts to fight with me." Yaorao confidently smiled, "I think no one would be willing to see father emperor come out of the mountain."
… …
Lion Duke brought Qinchuan and arrived at the arena box. He looked at Qinchuan and asked, "Do you have acquaintances here?"
Qinchuan was startled for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This is the first time I came here, how could I have acquaintances? What, could it be that someone knows me?"
"That's not it."
Lion Duke shook his head and said, "It's just that recently there are a lot of people around us, and they are intentionally or unintentionally monitoring us."
Qinchuan somewhat doubtfully looked at Lion Duke, then asked, "Is it possible that they are sent by your old enemy?"
Lion Duke looked at Qinchuan as if he was looking at an idiot, then asked, "You think my old enemy will send some foundation realm people to monitor me, Demon King?
In the end, are they stupid, or am I stupid? "
"What you said makes sense."
Qinchuan felt that he was thinking too much, so he said, "Is it possible that they are sent by the arena to monitor us?"
"The people of the arena have been monitoring us since the first day. These people just appeared the day before yesterday, so they shouldn't be the same group of people."
Lion Duke thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, don't think too much, anyway, no matter what they want to do, as long as I am here, there won't be any problem. You can go to the arena with peace of mind."
