Chapter 436: The Second Coming to the Sword Sanctum

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

After the decision was made, Zhang Ruochen set off immediately and hurried to the Sword Sanctum.

The Sword Sanctum, which was also located in Jinhong Mainland of the East Region Saint City, was far away from the Seventh District. However, at his current speed, it would only take him half a day to reach the Sword Sanctum.

All eighteen sacred mountains were steep, with many sheer precipices and overhanging rocks. There were also many secret mansions in the valleys.

He stood at the foot of the mountain and looked at the Holy Land.

As a fairy hideaway, the mountain was surrounded by white coulds and was full of the Spiritual Qi.

It was not the first time he went to the Sword Sanctum. Those gatekeeping disciples had received the instruction earlier that Zhang Ruochen should be treated as a distinguished guest.

“Childe Zhang, please wait here for a moment. I’m going to report to the Foreign Affairs Presbyter in the Holy Land.” A disciple in a dazzling black robe rushed to the top of the Sacred Mountain after a Fist-palm salute to Zhang Ruochen.

A moment later, a young girl’s laughter rang out. The laughter became clearer and clearer.

Lu Xuan walked on her toes as if she was riding the wind. She quickly appeared and called from the distance. “Zhang Ruochen, you’ve finally come to the Sword Sanctum. My brother has already waited for you for many days.”

As Lu Xuan approached, and a faint fragrant breeze blew past.

Afterward, Lu Fantian fell from the sky to the ground with a boom. He straightly stood in front of Zhang Ruochen. His eyes were full of arrogance and enmity.

He held a long sword inlaid with the Gold Wire Inscription. The sword was four feet long and had a wide and thick blade. Even if there was no injection of Genuine Qi, the sword would still radiate dazzling golden light. Actually, it was a combat sword at the eleventh level of Genuine Martial Arms.

“Zhang Ruochen, draw your sword!”

Lu Fantian held the hilt and turned the sword in the opposite direction. Then, the sword tip hit the ground with a loud sound.

He already displayed an opening move called “Falling to the Ground and Rooting.”

Zhang Ruochen was a bit surprised and curiously asked, “Brother Lu, did I offend you before?”

Lu Fantian remained silent.

Lu Xuan stood by and rolled her beautiful eyes. She said with a smile, “My brother isn’t convinced, so he wants to challenge you again.”

Zhang Ruochen was even more puzzled and said, “Isn’t convinced about what?”

Lu Xuan looked weirdand sighed, “Saint Lady, his goddess, rated you as one of the Six Great Kings of the new generation. He, with the name ‘World-shaking Bully’, has beaten all the invincible persons of the Eastern Region. But he was ignored by Saint Lady and failed to be ranked in the list of the new kings, so he was certainly jealous and not convinced. Thus, he would like to challenge you to prove his strength.”

Lu Fantian glared at Lu Xuan and felt even more upset.

Lu Xuan was his sister, but she always talked him down and spoke for others. What kind of a sister was that?

As if absorbed in thought, Zhang Ruochen said, “Why do you want to challenge me? Why don’t you challenge Bu Qianfan and Di Yi?”

Lu Xuan laughed again and said, “My brother has already been to the Camp of the Ministry of War. He has fought with Bu Qianfan once. They battled for the whole day. Eventually, they tied with each other.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “In that case, Brother Lu’s strength is indeed extraordinary, and you’re comparable to the king of the new generation. Saint Lady probably had no idea of your real strength, so she failed to rank you on the list.”

Lu Fantian’s expression was slightly unnatural after hearing that.

“Haha!”

Lu Xuan had a hearty laugh and said, “Zhang Ruochen, you don’t know that my brother had reached the Medium State of the Heaven Realm at that time, but Qianfan had just broken through the Dawn State of the Heaven Realm. I’m ashamed of him for ending in a draw.”

Lu Fantian scolded, “What do you know? Bu Qianfan has reached the Ultimate Realm of the Yellow Realm, so he is one realm higher than the average person. Therefore, our battle can only be regarded as a confrontation of the same realm.”

“Duh!”

Lu Xuan was not afraid of Lu Fantian, and continued, “The reason why Bu Qianfan can practice to the Ultimate Realm of the Yellow Realm, is because he has high talent and strong willpower, and also he’s able to endure hardships and not be afraid of pain. In short, it’s a reward for his effort.”

“Brother, don’t blame me for laughing at you. The gap between you and Bu Qianfan is really big. At least, you haven’t been able to practice to the Ultimate Realm.”

Lu Fantian squeezed his fingers with a popping sound. He swallowed down his rage and said,”Do you think that it’s easy to practice to the Ultimate Realm? Also, I am only a step away from reaching the Ultimate Realm in the Yellow Realm, the Black Realm, and the Earth Realm.”

“A step is still a step,” Lu Xuan said.

Lu Fantian said, “I’ve already broken into the Final State of the Heaven Realm. If I fight again, I can defeat the Bu Qianfan within ten moves.”

Lu Xuan said, “When you are making progress, so would others. As far as I know, a while ago, all saint gentries were fighting for the management of the Five Elements Primitive World. Eventually, Saint Bu Gentry won the battle and became the owner of the Five Elements Primitive World.”

“It’s said that Saint Bu Gentry has obtained several Five Elements Spirit Treasures in the Five Elements Primitive World. If Bu Qianfan has refined the Spirit Treasure of Origin, his martial cultivation must have enhanced a lot, and maybe he has already refined into a certain kind of treasured body.”

Zhang Ruochen really could not stand their bickering and said, “Brother Lu and Miss Lu, I’m in a hurry to meet the Foreign Affairs Presbyter in the Sword Sanctum. I’m afraid I must go now.”

“Swish!”

Lu Fantian moved and stood in front of Zhang Ruochen again, saying, “Zhang Ruochen, you have to fight me today. Don’t imagine that you can make excuses to leave.”

Zhang Ruochen frowned and said, “Do we really have to?”

“Of course,” Lu Fantian said.

Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment and said, “In that case, I’ll fight you. But now it’s not the time. I must be able to decide when and where the battle take place.”

Lu Fantian said without hesitation, “Sure, it’s up to you.”

Zhang Ruochen replied, “Three days later, we’ll have a just and fair fight in front of all warriors at the Heavenly Ring of the Martial Market Bank in the Seventh District.”

Lu Fantian finally understood Zhang Ruochen’s intentions and said with a smile, “When I haven’t broken through the Final State of the Heaven Realm, I’m ranked around 300,000th on the Heaven Board, and I have accumulated 74,800 points of the military merits. If you can defeat me at the Heavenly Ring, you will be able to replace my ranking and obtained the same military merits of 74,800 points. Is this what you plan to do?”

“Yes.”

Zhang Ruochen said calmly, “If there’s no benefit, why should I waste my energy to fight you?”

Lu Fantian said, “Ok! I’m really looking forward to defeating you on the Heavenly Ring. It’s a deal!”

Killing the enemy and accumulating military merits was not the only way to be ranked on the Heaven Board.

If a warrior in the Heaven Realm could win battles in a row in the Martial Market Bank, he would be able to obtain a value of 10,000 points of military merits and be ranked on the Heaven Board.

Of course, the lower ranked warriors in the Heaven Board could also challenge the higher ranking warriors on the Heavenly Ring. As long as they win, their rankings and military merits would then be swapped.
