A flash of disappointment flashed in Lin Qianxue's eyes, and she silently took the Full Moon Scimitar.

I am not qualified to let him draw a knife, nor am I qualified to let him use a knife.

"Don't suppress your spiritual power, use all your strength to draw the sword." Zhang Chen said calmly.

Lin Qianxue's beautiful eyes instantly regained their radiance, and she suddenly remembered that Zhang Chen was in the Body Tempering Realm, and reminded her, "Qianxue has reached the seventh level of the Soul Condensation Realm."

Zhang Chen's sword skills are far better than his own, but he is two realms higher than him, so he is worried about hurting him in a real duel.

"It doesn't matter." Zhang Chen said confidently.

Lin Zhengran and the ten elders all took a breath of air. A real duel is different from a sword competition. There is no trickery. It is a reflection of true combat power.

Is it possible that Zhang Chen, who is in the Body Tempering Realm, is sure to defeat Lin Qianxue, who is at the seventh level of Yunling Realm?

How is this possible?

"Junior brother, be careful."

Lin Qianxue no longer hesitated.

The knife comes out.

There were heavy waves of knives, and the space made a "boom boom boom" sound.

Without suppressing spiritual power, Lin Qianxue's sword was faster and stronger.

Dang——

Zhang Chen drew his sword and took it out casually to block Lin Qianxue's sword.

"Hiss."

"Really blocked!"

Lin Zhengran and the ten elders' eyes shone brightly. Zhang Chen had combat power in the Body Tempering Realm that was comparable to the Yunling Realm. What a monster he is!

"Knife, the overlord of arms."

Zhang Chen remained motionless in the wave of knives. He held his left hand behind his back and drew the sword with his right hand. He lightly blocked Lin Qianxue's heavy wave of knives and said in a domineering voice:

"The full-moon scimitar, the magic in the sword, catches the enemy by surprise and cuts them off guard."

"If you have domineering intention in your heart, you will have domineering power when you draw your sword. With a sword in your hand, you will dominate the world."

……

When Lin Qianxue heard Zhang Chen's true understanding of the art of swordsmanship, her beautiful eyes shone brightly and her sword power became even more fierce.

……

"Use dominance to control the sword, and use magic to use the sword to kill immortals, demons, and great avenues."

Boom——

Lin Qianxue made one final slash and collided with Zhang Chen's long knife, causing a loud noise.

The sword energy is raging.

The Xuanyang Hall was overwhelmed by the sword intent.

Lin Qianxue's eyes were closed tightly, and the sword intent on her body was looming, sometimes violently, sometimes restrained.

Lin Zhengran and the ten elders were so shocked that they could not speak. Even after listening to Zhang Chen's true understanding of the Dao of the Sword, they could draw parallels and feel that their understanding of the Dao had reached a higher level.

Boom, boom, boom.

Lin Qianxue suddenly opened her eyes, and a domineering sword intent burst out from her body. The Full Moon Scimitar came out of her hand, spinning in the air, causing a roar.

"Thank you, junior brother, for your advice."

After Lin Qianxue vented her inner sword intention, the scimitar flew back into its sheath, and she handed it over in gratitude.

Zhang Chen accepted it calmly, took out a bottle of body-tempering dragon blood and handed it to her and said, "When you practice sword practice, apply it on your palms, and the calluses on your hands will disappear."

Lin Qianxue thought of Zhang Chen grabbing her wrist just now and seeing the thick callus in his palm, her face turned slightly red, she took the body-tempering dragon blood and said, "Thank you, junior brother."

She didn't know how precious the body-tempering dragon's blood was, otherwise she wouldn't have accepted it so easily.

"Ahem." Lin Zhengran coughed lightly and said to Lin Qianxue with a kind smile, "Qianxue, actually you and Zhang Chen have known each other for a long time."

"Junior brother Zhang and I have known each other for a long time?" Lin Qianxue looked at Zhang Chen with a puzzled face, but she had no impression at all.

"Senior sister saved junior brother seven years ago and brought Xuanyang Zongde with her. Have you forgotten, senior sister?" Zhang Chen said with a smile.

In Zhang Chen's memory, his hometown was robbed by horse thieves seven years ago, and it was Lin Qianxue who passed by and rescued Zhang Chen.

He grew up from twelve years old to nineteen years old. He changed so much that Lin Qianxue did not recognize him.

Lin Qianxue's appearance remained basically unchanged, and Zhang Chen recognized her immediately as soon as he entered Xuanyang Hall.

That's why he taught her the true knowledge of the sword and the precious body-tempering dragon blood when they first met.

Xuanyang Sect wanted to promote Zhang Chen to a true disciple, so they naturally wanted to investigate his background, so Lin Zhengran knew that Zhang Chen and Lin Qianxue had such a connection.

"Luo Qingchen, who ranked first in the outer sect's assessment, was promoted to core disciple."

"Zhang Chen, who ranked second in the outer sect examination, was promoted to true disciple."

"Zhang Chen, who was still in the Body Tempering Realm, punched to death Zhao Changkong, who was at the eighth level of the Qi Sea Realm."

Three big news spread quickly in Xuanyang Sect.

Compared with the first two messages, the third message seems insignificant.

Xuanyang Sect is a sixth-grade force, with five thousand outer disciples, four hundred inner disciples, thirty-six core disciples, and only three true disciples.

Zhang Chen suddenly became the fourth true disciple, which made the core disciples very unconvinced. They all wanted to find opportunities to challenge Zhang Chen and prove that they were more qualified than him to become a true disciple.

However, Zhang Chen has been practicing in seclusion since he left Xuanyang Hall that day, ignoring the arguments from the outside world.

Luo Qingchen, who became a core disciple, was completely different from Zhang Chen, who was in seclusion.

She fights every day, from the Qi Sea realm to the Yun Ling realm.

Win all ten battles.

In the tenth battle, facing a core disciple of the second level of the Yunling Realm, he created his own sword move "Sword One" and defeated the enemy with one move, breaking into the Qi Sea Realm.

On the eleventh day, Luo Qingchen became the fifth true disciple of Xuanyang Sect, and no one was dissatisfied.

It is said that when Luo Qingchen became a true disciple, the sect leader wanted to accept her as a closed disciple.

But after discussing swordsmanship with her for three days, he sighed and never mentioned the matter of accepting a disciple again.

A month passed in a blink of an eye.

In the Xuanyang Hall, the five true disciples and the thirty-six core disciples gathered together.

This is also the first time Zhang Chen has appeared in front of everyone since he became a true disciple.

Dressed in white, he looks as cool as jade, and his handsome face is a bit unruly.

"Junior Brother Zhang."

"Senior Brother Zhang."

When Lin Qianxue and Luo Qingchen saw Zhang Chen approaching, they saluted and said hello at the same time.

The other two direct disciples already knew Zhang Chen's evil nature from their master, and they all greeted him with a smile.

Even if some of the thirty-six core disciples were dissatisfied, they still had to shout in unison according to the sect rules, "Senior Brother Zhang."

Not long after, Lin Zhengran led the four elders into the hall, took their seats, and said straight to the point: "In seven days, the Dutian Secret Realm will be opened, and all the elite forces in the Northern Territory can send twelve disciples below the Soul Palace realm to enter for training.

”

"There are many treasures in the secret realm, and there are even heaven-level treasures."

When everyone heard about the heaven-level treasure, their eyes shone brightly.

The entire Xuanyang Sect does not have a single heaven-level treasure.

Lin Zhengran caught their expressions in his eyes and said in a deep voice, "The Dutian Secret Realm is divided into twelve entrances, forming the Twelve Dutian Divine Evil Arrays. It is extremely dangerous. Not only do you have to face the dangers of the secret realm itself, but you also have to face the dangers of the major forces.

In the competition for power, there are unparalleled geniuses who are in the third level of power, and there are also peerless monsters from the Holy Land and the Divine Dynasty."

"Disciples who are willing to participate in the Dutian Secret Realm experience should take one step forward."

Tianyuan Continent has many sects, families, and dynasties with major forces, divided into nine ranks. The first rank is the most respected, and the ninth rank is at the end.

The forces beyond the first level are respected as the Holy Land Dynasty.

Many disciples fell into deep thought after hearing this. In their past experiences, they basically faced disciples from middle and third-grade forces, which was already very dangerous.

Let them face the monsters of the upper third level, or even the holy land and dynasty, without any confidence.

Treasures are tempting, but they must be enjoyed with a life.

Ta-ta-ta-

In the end, eighteen core disciples took a step forward.

Only one of the five direct disciples did not want to participate.
