Chapter 94: Testing the Sword
Chapter 94: Testing the Sword
The members of the Seal God Palace descended from the sky.
Just then, they spotted Fang Che, who was so engrossed in practicing his sword skills that he had forgotten to eat or sleep. They couldn't help but smile at the sight.
The usually gloomy atmosphere of the Seal God Palace was momentarily lifted, and the Grandmaster communicated with Mu Lin Yuan telepathically, "I bet you this kid hasn't practiced at all today. He's been waiting for us to come and watch him, and he's been at it all night. He's really trying to impress us."
Mu Lin Yuan couldn't help but chuckle and responded telepathically, "Should we let him continue for a while longer and see if we can tire this foolish kid out?"
The Grandmaster couldn't suppress a smile, "He's already seen us, and it would have been better to sneak in without him noticing."
Fang Che's eagerness to show off as a young man was all too apparent.
The adults found it amusing and felt that Fang Che respected them.
This feeling was spot on.
"Grandmaster, Second Master, Third Master, you're here!"
Fang Che's excited voice echoed.
The Grandmaster nodded in approval.
Aware of being in a sensitive situation, he remained vigilant and changed his address.
In the White Cloud Continent, at any time, the title of 'Grandmaster' was strictly forbidden to be uttered.
However, this fellow directly addressed him as 'Grandmaster,' and it seemed he had taken advantage of the situation.
He had climbed the pole once again.
But why did he feel so refreshed by this?
"Alright, stop pretending to be hardworking. Come in."
"How's your cultivation progress?"
The Grandmaster calmly walked into the room.
Fang Che, drenched in sweat, followed him in, grinning foolishly, "It's going well. I feel like progress isn't that difficult anymore. But my hands are itching for a real battle."
"With your level of skill, you want a real battle? Do you think this is a game?"
Mu Lin Yuan chuckled and scolded him, then sat down next to the Grandmaster.
Fang Che laughed, "Actually, after breaking through to the Grandmaster level, I feel like I can conquer the world..."
"..."
The three Demon Sect leaders were speechless at his words.
You're truly a talent! Feeling invincible even now.
But they all understood the sense of expansion that comes with a recent breakthrough.
"That's just an illusion! You fool!"
Hou Fang scolded him.
Fang Che continued to smile foolishly, "Yes, yes... I just feel so awesome..."
The Grandmaster noticed the items on the table and casually picked one up to examine it, "What's this? Why are there so many clothes? Are you planning to open a shop?"
Fang Che entered the room, carefully closing the door behind him. He apologized, "Grandmaster, please forgive me. Being here, I had to be cautious..."
He then explained, "Knowing that the Grandmaster and Second Master were coming, I found an excuse to send the maid away. Although she's my personal attendant, it's better if she doesn't know about certain things."
"Good, very good."
The Grandmaster nodded in satisfaction, examining the receipt in his hand, "You sent her away with this excuse? Although it's seamless, it still costs a bit. It's not a small amount of money."
"I have some money left. If you need it, I'll offer it all."
"Your virtue! We don't need your petty silver! How poor would the Grandmaster have to be to need your money?"
Amidst the laughter of Mu Lin Yuan and Hou Fang, the Grandmaster chuckled and scolded him.
He asked Fang Che in detail about the purpose of the items on the table and how he arranged for the maid to leave. The Grandmaster was very pleased.
"Well done!"
Using a reasonable approach that wouldn't arouse suspicion, Fang Che had sent his maid away. Although it might have been an unnecessary move, it showcased the Night Demon's caution.
Indeed, this was the right approach.
True secrets should be known only to oneself.
The more people who know, the greater the danger, especially in the White Cloud Continent, which is the territory of the Guardian. Fang Che's visit was indeed a risky endeavor.
The Night Demon was considering his own safety.
Upon this realization, the Grandmaster's expression softened.
"How is your cultivation progress now?"
The Grandmaster asked, holding a teacup.
Mu Lin Yuan and Hou Fang's eyes lit up at the Grandmaster's words.
They knew the climax was about to begin.
"I'm currently at the Second Rank Martial Ancestor middle stage."
Fang Che hurried to prepare tea and serve the guests, answering, "My combat power should be higher than my cultivation level. I can even match or defeat Third and Fourth Rank Martial Ancestors without any issues."
The Grandmaster furrowed his brows, "Oh? You're that confident?"
He signaled Mu Lin Yuan with his eyes.
Mu Lin Yuan understood and said, "This kid is boasting. Let me lower my cultivation level and test him."
Mu Lin Yuan, at the Second Rank Martial Ancestor middle stage, was immediately suppressed by Fang Che. He cried out in surprise and quickly raised his cultivation level!
The Grandmaster exclaimed, and his eyes shone brightly.
After some sparring, Mu Lin Yuan carefully raised his level step by step until Fang Che could no longer hold on.
Returning to the Grandmaster's side, Mu Lin Yuan said, "I think I can match a Fifth Rank Martial Ancestor. Transcendent rank battles are no problem. If I go all out, defeating a Fifth Rank Martial Ancestor is also possible, but I'll definitely get injured."
Mu Lin Yuan was an expert in martial arts, and with the Grandmaster watching, he knew the situation well.
He understood that Mu Lin Yuan's assessment wasn't exaggerated.
However, Hou Fang was sent to test Fang Che as well.
Facing Hou Fang, Fang Che naturally used the Divine Ape Heart Extraction Thirteen Techniques that Hou Fang had taught him.
After the battle, Hou Fang almost laughed so hard that his teeth fell out.
After the match, Hou Fang transmitted a message to Seal God Palace: "Grandmaster, this kid has received my true teachings! This Monkey Fist is even more orthodox than mine."
Seal God Palace hummed in response: "Nonsense!"
Hou Fang let out a bitter laugh and stepped aside.
Seal God Palace slowly rose to his feet: "I'll give it a try too."
Fang Che was terrified: "Ah? How dare I engage in battle with the Grandmaster?"
"Engage with me?!"
Seal God Palace's lips twitched: "You're really good at flattering yourself."
Hou Fang and Mu Lin Yuan burst into laughter, thoroughly amused.
Fang Che stammered: "My apologies..."
"Consider this a life-or-death battle. There's no need for hesitation or mercy," Seal God Palace hummed.
Fang Che immediately assumed the stance of the Blood Spirit Seven Swords: "This... my apologies for my offense."
"Do as I say, and you'll do just fine. In the future, you'll face people who want to take your life. It's through sparring that you'll grow!"
"Yes!"
Seal God Palace suppressed his cultivation base, but his attacks were still fierce.
Having participated in the Incubation Divine Ascension Program, he naturally understood that it was all about life-or-death battles there, so this time, he was going to replicate that experience.
He showed no mercy.
If Fang Che couldn't defend himself, he would die on the spot.
Mu Lin Yuan and Hou Fang witnessed this clearly, both of them breaking into a cold sweat for Fang Che.
However, to their astonishment, Fang Che's Blood Spirit Seven Swords flowed smoothly, and he engaged in a back-and-forth exchange with Seal God Palace, making it an intense and colorful battle.
At times, he even managed to gain the upper hand against Seal God Palace, who was of the same cultivation base.
Mu Lin Yuan and the others were wide-eyed in disbelief.
They knew that Seal God Palace was inherently a martial arts genius, and his rank-breaking battles were no challenge for him.
In other words, the Second Rank Martial Ancestor techniques displayed by Seal God Palace were already equivalent to the peak of Third Rank or even Fourth Rank, or higher, in terms of battle prowess.
But in this situation, Fang Che was still able to suppress him, which meant what? Their hearts were shaken, and they couldn't take their eyes off the battle.
Swish, swish, swish...
Fang Che's Blood Spirit Seven Swords were used in rapid succession, constantly rearranging and combining. Eventually, he would start with the first half of the first sword, move on to the second half of the fifth sword, and then connect it with the killing move of the seventh sword...
The entire process was seamless.
Seal God Palace's eyes flashed, and he raised his cultivation base to the Third Rank Martial Ancestor level, continuing the intense battle.
Fang Che felt the pressure increase, and his Blood Spirit Seven Swords responded with greater force.
"You still have strength left?" Seal God Palace was surprised and pleased.
"I've kept some strength for survival," Fang Che replied.
"Good, let's continue."
Seal God Palace instantly changed his aura, transforming into the power of a Fourth Rank Martial Ancestor, and attacked with full force.
Clang, clang, clang...
After seven consecutive sword strikes, Fang Che's body swayed like a small boat in the midst of giant waves, facing crisis after crisis, but he held on without capsizing.
And when pushed to his limits, he let out a loud roar, fighting with all his might.
Each move was a trade of injuries, a life-or-death struggle. For a moment, the intensity of the battle left Mu Lin Yuan and the others holding their breath.
With a loud bang, Fang Che flew out like a broken kite, falling two zhang away and landing on his butt. But he quickly flipped over, kicked off the ground with his heels, and his speed soared as he climbed onto the wall.
"That's enough!"
Seal God Palace burst into laughter, extremely pleased: "There's no need to show off your escape skills. This is already sufficient, more than enough!"
Only then did Fang Che jump down from the wall: "Master, you showed mercy."
"Hahaha..."
Seal God Palace was delighted, his eyes and eyebrows smiling: "Not bad, not bad. Showing mercy is impossible, but your achievements truly bring me comfort!"
He sat down again.
Seal God Palace looked at the tea leaves on the table and smiled: "These... were bought for me, right?"
"Yes, there aren't many good things to buy on White Cloud Continent. I hope Master won't dislike them. And these fruits, please try them too. Although they aren't immortal fruits, they are crisp and delicious."
"Good, good."
Seal God Palace was extremely satisfied. With a wave of his hand, he said: "Then I'll accept your gifts!"
He waved his hand, and the two bags of tea leaves entered his spatial ring.
Mu Lin Yuan and the others felt a jolt in their hearts.
A small fry, a new initiate, had his gifts accepted by Seal God Palace. This showed how highly Seal God Palace regarded Fang Che at this moment.
"In the previous battle, your cultivation base was basically stabilized at the high-tier Second Rank Martial Ancestor level, and you can break through to the Third Rank at any time. But as for battle prowess..."
Seal God Palace frowned: "You can almost match a Fifth Rank Martial Ancestor. And in a life-or-death battle, against a Sixth Rank, you can put up a good fight for your life. It's uncertain who will win, but against a Seventh Rank, you're definitely no match. As for those above Seventh Rank, in a life-or-death battle, you'll surely perish."
"How's your progress in the Blood Burning Technique?"
"I've entered the initial stage."
"What are the effects?"
"When escaping with all my strength, my speed increases by about five times compared to normal."
Fang Che estimated and chose to tell the truth.
"That's very good."
Seal God Palace praised him and then fell into deep thought for a moment: "I'll give you one month. Can you advance to the Primordial Master level?"
