(1st Update)

Chen Zong and Zhanying live in the same room, and the relationship between the two is okay.

Dinner gathering, the food is not bad, not only delicious and hearty, but also a little wine, everyone is happy.

"The day after tomorrow, it is the four great palaces that recruit disciples once every three years, and I am a little nervous when I think about it. Zhan Ying's tone was a little excited, and he immediately looked at Chen Zong: "Brother Chen, how do you look, you are not nervous at all." ”

"There's nothing to be nervous about, it's always coming. Chen Zong smiled slightly.

"You're in such a good frame of mind. Zhan Ying smiled, as if he was also affected by Chen Zong, and was not so nervous.

After chatting for a while, Zhan Ying practiced the exercises to purify the power of qi and blood as much as possible.

To break through from the peak of the ninth layer of the Qi and Blood Realm to the cultivation of the Jin Realm, the first thing is that the power of Qi and Blood is pure enough, which requires time and energy to slowly polish, and there are almost no shortcuts.

In addition, the spiritual will must be strong enough.

Only when the two are combined, guided by the spiritual will, and a new kind of power is extracted from the power of the body and qi and blood, called internal strength, can one become a martial artist in the realm of practicing strength.

Under normal circumstances, the power of qi and blood can only be slowly purified, and the spiritual will can only be slowly sharpened, and after all some martial artists reach the peak of the ninth layer of qi and blood realm, it often takes a year or even more to precipitate.

Some martial artists are even difficult to break through for three or five years, and some are even worse, and they have always been stuck in the bottleneck for one or two decades.

In terms of the degree of purity of qi and blood, Chen Zong not only reached but also far surpassed, after all, there was no qi and blood that could be compared to pure yang qi and blood in terms of purity.

When he returned to the Qiyao Martial Academy, Chen Zong, in addition to cultivating, was to read through various classics, and then continued to study himself, and finally came to a conclusion, that is, if he wanted to break through to the cultivation strength realm, the difficulty would be greater than the normal peak of the ninth layer of the Qi and Blood Realm.

After all, the power of his own qi and blood is too pure, this kind of foundation is incomparably majestic, the cultivation of the great perfection of the qi and blood realm and the copper skin and steel bar also make Chen Zong's physical strength far better than that of ordinary martial artists, and if you want to extract internal strength from this kind of physique and pure yang qi and blood, you must have a very strong spiritual will.

Now, it's not enough.

"At the very least, the spirit and will must be all in harmony. Chen Zong said secretly.

His spiritual will is becoming more and more harmonious because of the relationship between the Great Perfection of Qi and Blood Realm, but it has not really been fully harmonized, at least, it will take a few months.

There was no better way to temper his spiritual will, so he could only let it go, and Chen Zong concentrated on comprehending the swordsmanship.

The sword is the foundation of oneself, and the more you practice, the more you feel this way.

In the middle of the night, Chen Zong finished his meditation, lay down to rest, and quickly fell asleep.

The night is as cool as water, and the moonlight is faint.

The sky was slightly bright, Chen Zong had already practiced swords in the big courtyard, it was just a very ordinary swordsmanship, each sword looked slow and direct, the trajectory was clear, and it was clear at a glance, and ordinary martial artists couldn't see what was real or false.

"What a clever swordsmanship. Gu Xiao was stunned and paid more attention to Chen Zong.

In the seemingly simple and direct swordsmanship, there seems to be a taste of great ingenuity, back to the basics, which is a bit exaggerated, after all, even he has not reached that level, but there is a trace of that feeling.

However, after all, it is not a practice realm, it is not its opponent, and it does not need to pay too much attention, and Liu Shisha and Yan Zhongzheng basically mean this.

Chen Zong, who ranked fourth, could only let them pay a little attention to one or two because of his swordsmanship attainments, and the others did not have this qualification.

After all, practicing the Jin Realm and the Qi and Blood Realm, those are two great realms, a huge difference.

Chen Zong practiced the sword, he didn't care about other people's eyes, he just waved it at will, there was nothing specific, it was completely a combination of all kinds of foundation building swordsmanship combined with the basic eighteen styles, the sword moved as he wished, and he was more looking for inspiration, so it would look so simple and direct.

One sword and nine changes to this day, it still can't be smooth and round.

At this moment, the closed door was pushed open, and eight people strode in front and back, all with amazing aura fluctuations, as if bringing a gust of wind to blow, which made people frightened.

"You are the new disciples of this class, it looks good, and there are actually three of you who have reached the cultivation level. The first one had a sharp gaze implying domineering, and was swept away by him, only Gu Xiaolin's three Cultivation Strength Realm martial artists and Chen Zong could look at each other, and the others, even if they were Qi Fei, unconsciously flinched under the gaze that contained spiritual will.

As soon as you come, you will get off the horse.

It's just that he was surprised to see that Chen Zong didn't flinch under his gaze, staring at Chen Zong, and found that the other party's aura was mellow, without half a leak, and he couldn't see the depth, he could only affirm that the other party was in the Qi and Blood Realm.

It is indeed good that a qi and blood realm is not afraid of the oppression of his own spiritual will, but it is just that, after all, some martial artists will have a stronger spiritual will, although it is rare, it is not surprising.

"Are you...... Zhang Tianchi!" Yan Zhongzheng frowned slightly, feeling that the other party seemed to be a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, and after thinking about it carefully, a name flashed in his mind.

Among the twenty-nine disciples of Tianyao Hall, Yan Zhongzheng was indeed the oldest, at the age of twenty-two, he entered Tianyao Hall more than half a year earlier than everyone else, just before and after the Four Great Palaces recruited disciples.

In the last Tianyao Hall disciples, there were also more than 20 people participating, but as a result, less than ten entered the Four Great Palaces, and more than a dozen were eliminated, and Zhang Tianchi was one of them.

Now look at the other seven people behind Zhang Tianchi, they are indeed a little familiar, they are all disciples of the last Tianyao Hall.

They are now twenty-four years old at most.

After being eliminated that year, their names were still hung in the Qiyao Martial Academy, and they could continue to stay in Tianyao Hall, but Tianyao Hall would not supply any more resources and had to rely on themselves, so that group of disciples chose to leave and go out to practice.

Now three years have passed, some of them have died in the experience, some have exceeded their age, and only Zhang Tianchi and other eight people are still alive and meet the conditions, so they are naturally unwilling to miss such a grand event.

Chen Zong found that six of the eight disciples in the last session were at the level of practicing the strength realm, and although the other two were not, the aura fluctuations emitted were very strong, and they had completely reached the peak state of the qi and blood realm, and compared to the ordinary peak martial artists of the ninth layer of the qi and blood realm, I don't know how much stronger.

It seems that the other few empty rooms in this courtyard are for these people.

These eight people are also officially settled in the small courtyard, waiting for tomorrow's grand event, although they are unfamiliar, but nominally, they are all disciples of Qiyao Martial Academy, and they are all disciples of Tianyao Hall, and there is no contradiction between them, so naturally there will be no conflict.

It's just a little uncomfortable, these eight people, maybe they feel that they have a relationship with others earlier, maybe it's because of the relationship with a higher cultivation, looking at the eyes of Chen Zong and others, there is always a condescending, speaking tone, and a commanding tone.

Of course, there is no respect for Gu Xiaolin, these three people are all martial artists who practice the strength realm, and it is the first time to participate, and there is a chance that they will be able to enter the four university palaces, which should not be underestimated.

"Your name is Chen Zong. One of the two Qi and Blood Realm martial artists among the eight people, named Wang Minghua, walked casually in front of Chen Zong, who was practicing swordsmanship at will, with a somewhat condescending gaze, and said casually: "I heard that soon after you entered Tianyao Hall, you challenged the fourth place on the ranking list and successfully defeated it, your talent is very good." ”

"Something?" Chen Zongjian paused, his tone was neither high nor low, if the other party spoke well, Chen Zong would naturally not be so cold.

"It's nothing, I just want to see if there's any bragging. As soon as the words fell, Wang Minghua directly pulled out the long knife on his waist, the knife light was cold, like a match, and slashed at Chen Zong in the blink of an eye.

Draw the knife and cut it down, in one go, only in the blink of an eye.

Soon, without dragging the mud and water, and without half a minute of hesitation and superfluous movements, everything was aimed at killing the other party, and it can be seen that three years of experience have sharpened Wang Minghua's knife skills to a very terrifying point.

With such a knife, the peak of the ninth layer of the Ordinary Qi and Blood Realm would not be able to dodge at all, let alone have time to defend, and would be killed immediately.

It's just that for Chen Zong, it's not enough.

With a flash of footsteps, he easily avoided Wang Minghua's knife, and a frost-like sword light swept in front of him, and a chill hit.

"A little bit of a skill. Wang Minghua was a little surprised, although three years ago, he was only ranked ninth on the list, although in the past three years, his cultivation was still the peak of the ninth layer of the Qi and Blood Realm, but three years of life and death experience made his qi and blood extremely pure, and his spiritual will also reached a height, and soon after, he was able to break the shackles and refine his internal strength, so as to step into the realm of practicing strength.

After three years of training, the greater thing is to sharpen his sword skills, and the grade of martial arts has reached the peak of the consummation realm, usually making the knife faster and more concise, and everything is mainly in the pursuit of killing the enemy.

It can be said that there are no martial artists who have undergone life and death experience, the difference is obvious, even if the cultivation is comparable, when fighting, life and death are very clear.

Chen Zong not only easily avoided it, but also counterattacked with a sword, so fast that it almost exceeded his reaction speed, and Wang Minghua was of course shocked.

The sword light rolled backwards, like a scattered wind blade cutting towards Chen Zong's side.

Chen Zong's wrist flicked, and after all the knife wind was shattered, it turned into a cold star, pointing at Wang Minghua, fast, accurate, and ruthless, exerting to the extreme, there was no way to dodge, Wang Minghua reluctantly put away the knife in front of him.

With a bang, the sparks splashed away, and the terrifying power burst out, as if it was going to go straight to the door through the blade of the knife, making Wang Minghua's face change greatly, and the power contained in it also continued to impact, causing Wang Minghua to take three steps backwards in a row.

"Yes, yes, this strength is much more powerful than when I was back. After Wang Minghua's face changed back and forth, he squeezed out a smile and put the knife into the sheath, the two of them were seen by many people just now, and they didn't show their grade martial arts, just very simple moves, improvised, but Wang Minghua fell behind, but he spoke in a pointing tone.

Chen Zong did not respond, after all, the two sides had not yet made a real fire, and they had not really angered Chen Zong, otherwise they would have seen blood.

As soon as Wang Minghua left, some people started to talk about it, and they all despised Wang Minghua, after all, after Wang Minghua and another Qi and Blood Realm came, in just a short time, they had already defeated many people, and they still had a high-minded tone, which made people very unhappy.
