At this point in the tournament, there are only 200 people left, and in addition to these, there are ten seeded players, but those will not appear until the top 10 strong players are selected.

Among these two hundred people, in terms of surface strength alone, Dugu Zhan is the lowest one, and the rest of the people are basically at or above the intermediate level of the emperor rank, and there is not even one of them at the junior level of the emperor rank, which shows how powerful these people who participated in the martial arts conference this time are.

You must know that these people are not masters of the older generation, on the contrary, they are all strong people of the younger generation, it can be said that any one of these people is one in a thousand, or even one in a thousand geniuses, talent, perseverance, and hard work are indispensable.

It is precisely because of this that Dugu Zhan's strength can be said to be completely at the bottom among them, although he has defeated a mid-level powerhouse of the emperor rank before, but those who can enter the top two hundred, even the peak of the emperor rank has more than ten, and there are some hidden strengths.

The emperor-level mid-level powerhouse defeated by Dugu Zhan, even in terms of strength, can barely enter the top two hundred, so Dugu Zhan's strength is still at the bottom, but once he breaks through to the emperor level, there will definitely be a big leap in strength, even if he can't be among the best at that time, but at least it is a midstream level.

After Ye Fan returned to the manor, after gathering with everyone for a while, he returned to his room, originally he and Ye Tong lived in the same room, but Ye Tong was worried about disturbing Ye Fan's refining before, so he took the initiative to move out of here and lived in an empty room, and now he is still recuperating there, so Ye Fan is the only one in this room.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, without the Spirit Gathering Array, Ye Fan's absorption of spiritual energy was a little slower, but there was also the Heaven-Shaking Armor that could accelerate the absorption of spiritual energy, and one night was enough for Ye Fan to completely cultivate the first layer of sword qi successfully.

Ye Fan ran the fighting qi in the dantian and began to flow towards the tiny meridian, this meridian has been opened up about nine-tenths, and only the last tenth is still holding on, but the more this meridian goes to the back, the more difficult it is to get through, especially the back of some meridians, and the difficulty of opening up is getting bigger and bigger.

With the continuous operation of the fighting spirit, the meridian was constantly destroyed, and it was quickly repaired, and Ye Fan's whole person continued to enjoy it in pain and comfort.

However, if his speed of opening up the meridians was known by those seniors of the Sword Sect, I am afraid it would be unbelievable, when they opened the meridians, which one was not careful, lest the meridians be damaged, and once they were damaged, they would have to spend a lot of time and energy to repair the meridians.

It was precisely because of this that those ancestors would be slow when they were cultivating sword qi, but Ye Fan had no worries about this at all, he had the existence of Ao Wuji's drop of essence blood, and the speed of meridian repair was simply unbelievable.

Ye Fan couldn't imagine how the sword god who had no experience at the beginning, and completely relied on his own groping to create this set of sword qi decisive did it, without any experience, he directly opened up the meridians, and if there was any carelessness in it, it would lead to a madness, at least the meridians would be damaged, the strength would be greatly reduced, and the worst might be killed.

The fighting spirit continued to impact the last tenth of that meridian, watching the fighting qi advance little by little, Ye Fan's heart couldn't help but be a little anxious, but he also knew that he couldn't be in a hurry, otherwise it might cause serious damage to the meridians, and even if his recovery ability was strong, it would take a period of cultivation.

After more than an hour of continuous cultivation, Ye Fan finally opened up this meridian almost, only the last small layer was missing, and he only needed a gentle push of his fighting spirit to completely open the meridian.

Ye Fan separated a wisp of fighting energy, carefully passed through the meridians, and with a gentle push at the end of the meridians, the entire meridians suddenly opened up, and at the same time, Ye Fan's fighting spirit also began to change on its own, and the fighting energy that passed through the meridians actually changed.

The original Dou Qi is like a flowing liquid, and if you magnify these liquids hundreds of times, they are all aura molecules, and after the change, the morphology on the surface has not changed much, but if you look closely, you will find that after the change, these Dou Qi is more lusterly than before, and there is a faint sharp aura on it, as if a sword is exuding sword qi.

After amplifying the fighting qi at this time, you can see that the original independent aura molecules actually combined into a long sword by themselves, and it is precisely for this reason that sword intent will appear on these fighting qi.

Ye Fan knew that this was the sword element cultivated by the Sword Qi Duel, which was exactly the same as the sword element characteristics recorded in the Sword Sect inheritance, which showed that Ye Fan had successfully cultivated the first layer of the Sword Qi Duel, and he could already convert a part of the fighting qi into a sword element.

This made Ye Fan excited for a while, according to the records in the Sword Sect inheritance, when the people in the Sword Sect cultivated the Sword Qi in the past, the time required to cultivate the first layer was about ten days, the fastest one was eight days, and the longest even took twelve days.

And now Ye Fan has successfully cultivated the first layer in only two days, and this is still delayed because there is a martial arts competition in the middle, otherwise one day will be enough.

Of course, this is mainly because of Ye Fan's own resilience, otherwise, where could it be so fast.

Ye Fan immediately mobilized the rest of the Dou Qi, what was transformed just now was just a wisp of Dou Qi, one-tenth of this wisp of Dou Qi was transformed into a sword element, and after each Dou Qi passed through this meridian, about one-tenth of it would be transformed into a sword element.

Of course, the Dou Qi that has been transformed, it has no effect to enter the meridians again, and if you want to increase the number of Sword Yuan, there is only one way, which is to open up the second meridian, otherwise the Sword Yuan can only remain at about one-tenth of the total Dou Qi forever.

After cultivating the sword yuan, Ye Fan was a little excited in his heart, and he didn't have the heart to continue cultivating for a while, so he decided to go out and find a place to try the power of the sword yuan, now one-tenth of the fighting energy in his body is the sword yuan, but it does not mean that the same is true for the fighting energy he uses when fighting.

The total amount of sword elements in his body is fixed, but how to use it and when to use it is up to Ye Fan to decide, he can completely use his fighting qi to attack, or he can use both at the same time, and the power he uses is determined by the number of sword elements he uses.

The attack that is fully performed with the sword element is naturally the most powerful, while the attack that is completely performed with the fighting energy is the weakest, and if the two are mixed, it is calculated according to the ratio of the two.

After Ye Fan left the room, he once again came to the small courtyard where he cultivated last time, and it was in this small courtyard that he found the strong man who was monitoring them, but he didn't know if he was still there.

For that strong man, Ye Fan didn't pay attention to it, this matter was naturally handled by the people of Purple Wind Academy, and he didn't need to worry about it much.

After coming to the small courtyard, Ye Fan carefully felt the surroundings, and did not notice the phenomenon of being watched, Ye Fan was a little relieved, and then took out an ordinary long sword, he wanted to try the power and effect of the sword element today, so it is better to use an ordinary long sword to give it a try.

Ye Fan fed a small stream of fighting qi into the long sword, and then slashed down at the ground next to him with a sword, the fighting qi he used was not large, and his physical strength was not used at all, so this attack was not even one percent of Ye Fan's full strength.

But even so, it left a crack more than a meter long on the ground, and then Ye Fan input a small stream of sword yuan, the amount was about the same as the previous fighting qi, and he also didn't use any physical strength, and then slashed down towards the ground on the other side.

"Poof"

Ye Fan only felt as if he had inserted a piece of tofu with a sword, and he was barely resisted, and a crack more than two meters long had already appeared on the ground, and depending on the situation, it was much deeper than the previous crack.

Looking at these two cracks in shock, Ye Fan compared them in his heart, and found that the damage caused by Jian Yuan was more than twice as strong as ordinary Dou Qi, of course, this was not pure strength, but because Jian Yuan was more destructive than ordinary Dou Qi.

If ordinary fighting spirit is a fist, then Jian Yuan is a sword, no matter how powerful the fist is, under the same power, the destructive power caused cannot be compared with a sword.

With Jian Yuan, it can be said that Ye Fan's own defense power has not changed, but the attack power is more than doubled, and the destructive power is even stronger.

Then Ye Fan tried the destructive power caused by the combination of Dou Qi and Sword Yuan one by one, and then memorized these gaps one by one, these are all things that can be used in battle.

If you want to exert your most powerful combat power in battle, you must first fully master all your strength, just like Jian Yuan and Dou Qi, he must fully understand their power, and then he can better apply them in battle, these are all summarized by Ye Fan in battle after battle.

After trying it, Ye Fan had almost figured out the biggest benefits and role of Jian Yuan, and I believed that as long as he made good use of it, his combat power could be enhanced a lot, and he would be more confident about the future games.

Among the top two hundred, there are not many people who can be put in Ye Fan's eyes, and his main focus is still on those seeded players, they are the real powerhouses, so before fighting them, Ye Fan will try his best to improve his combat effectiveness, only in this way can he compete with those seeded players.
