Invincible Martial King

"He's actually using the heavy weight of his Soul-breaking Stage to create a new set of Life And Death Stage?"    

The elders were all puzzled. They were all old fellows who had lived for hundreds of years, but they had never heard of such a sword formation.    

"If I recall correctly, a sword formation known as the Yuan Yang Sword Formation has been circulating within the Kungwu Hall for hundreds of years." At this time, the seated Elder Yan suddenly spoke up.    

"Yuan Yang Sword Formation?"    

"When Elder Yan said this, I seem to remember something. Isn't that a broken sword formation!?" A Taiyi Hall elder cried out in shock, and continued: "I heard that the previous Kungwu Hall had a few dozen years of comprehension, and after that, he went to travel around the Sky Martial Continent, but could not find a way to complete the sword formation."    

"Could it be..."    

He did not continue speaking, but everyone understood what he meant. Could it be that during these hundred years, the Kungwu Hall's three disciples had comprehended all of the key techniques and passed them on to Lu Chen?    

"If that's really the case, then my Kungwu Hall is truly extremely lucky." The elder from Orthodox Unity Hall laughed coldly as he spoke.    

Lu Chen didn't pay attention to the Elders' curiosity towards his sword formation. Due to the depletion of his soul essence, he went back to Fu Feng's side. He didn't even have time to speak as he quickly grabbed his soul crystal and recovered his strength.    

The power of the sword formation was beyond his imagination, but it also consumed his soul essence. Just a single strike was enough to consume almost all of his soul essence.    

Fu Feng guarded Lu Chen for more than an hour. Only when Lu Chen woke up did he heave a sigh of relief.    

"Lu Chen, are you alright?"    

"Not bad."    

"It's just that I've used up too much of my soul essence."    

Lu Chen waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.    

"Is that sword formation the sword technique that descended from the sky? "Brat, you've been hiding this from me for such a long time." Fu Feng could not help but tease: "When are you going to teach me this sword formation?"    

"With this sword formation, I will be able to compete with them in Life And Death Stage in the future. This is definitely a good method to protect my life."    

"You have so many top quality swords, I don't mind teaching you." Lu Chen glanced at him and said with a smile.    

"Eh. "This..."    

Fu Feng was speechless. He finally understood why Lu Chen had given up on cultivating and instead chose to refine. It was because he wanted to refine the top quality sword equipment that was needed to set up the sword formation.    

"At first, I thought that you had suddenly become stupid to study refining. Who would have thought that three years ago, you would have already started preparing for today's Dao Gathering."    

"No wonder he dared to say he wants to be number one in front of Senior Chang."    

"However, you've been hiding this from me for so long. You're truly too ungrateful."    

Fu Feng didn't even bother to lift the sword formation as he punched Lu Chen hard on the chest, pretending to be displeased as he said that.    

"Not bad."    

"Rather, this sword formation is much more difficult to form than I imagined. Back then, I didn't have much confidence either, so I didn't tell all of you about it in advance."    

Lu Chen smiled and explained. This was indeed the truth. This sword formation was extremely complicated. Just the amount of top quality swords required was intimidating, and the requirements for the wielder of the sword formation were extremely strict.    

"Alright, since you helped me vent my anger, then let's forget about this matter."    

… ….    

As the two of them spoke, the second round of the competition began. The two contestants were Orthodox Unity Hall's Nan Hongyi and Taiyi Hall's twin brother, Zhao Wu.    

Although Zhao Wu was very strong, he was still at a huge disadvantage when facing Nan Hongyi. It didn't take him long before he was knocked off the stage.    

The third match after that was for the Taiyi Hall's Su Yuvrann. He and Nan Hongyi were acclaimed as the disciples who had obtained the championship for this year's competition, and were fighting against the Orthodox Unity Hall's disciples.    

This battle also ended with Su Yuvrann's victory, without any suspense.    

As the three battles ended, the end of the meeting finally came. The last three people to go were Lu Chen, Nan Hongyi, and Su Yuvrann.    

The atmosphere suddenly became delicate at this moment.    

Regardless of whether it was the Orthodox Unity Hall or the disciples of the Taiyi Hall, almost all of them looked at the three of them at the same time, or to be exact, all of them fell on Lu Chen.    

No matter if it was Nan Hongyi or Su Yuvrann, both of them were outstanding elite disciples of the Orthodox Unity Hall, and they were both at Major Power Of Life And Death Stage, but only Lu Chen was at Soul-breaking Stage.    

Although the difference in cultivation was right in front of them, no one dared to look down on Lu Chen. After all, the latter was too terrifying when he activated the powerful sword formation.    

"Cough cough …"    

The elder who presided over the meeting coughed dryly, and then said in a deep voice, "Based on the performance of the first three rounds, Nan Hongyi was evaluated as the first place winner of this year's meeting, Su Yuvrann and Lu Chen are the second and third …"    

"That Lu Chen, after all, relied on the power of the sword formation. It's reasonable for him to be ranked third."    

"However, senior sister Nan and senior brother Su are at opposite ends of the table. The positions of first and second place are a little hard to believe if we don't compare them."    

"That's right. I feel that Senior Brother Su's strength should be even stronger than Senior Sister Nan, and you should be ranked first. "    

"Nonsense. Senior Sister Nan's performance in the second round was even more outstanding. Naturally, she was ranked first, while Su Yuvrann was ranked second. "    

As the host elder's voice faded, the surrounding disciples broke out into a flurry of discussion. The topic of contention was which of Nan Hongyi and Su Yuvrann would take the first place.    

In the eyes of the Orthodox Unity Hall disciples, Nan Hongyi being ranked first was naturally for the best, but the Taiyi Hall disciples were mostly unwilling to accept it, and believed that Su Yuvrann's strength was even above Nan Hongyi's.    

"Of course, this is a provisional ranking. If there are any objections to the rankings, then we are allowed to challenge each other." Seeing that the other disciples were discussing this ranking, the elder added.    

As the Elder who presided over the meeting finished speaking, Nan Hongyi and Su Yuvrann's eyes shined brightly, but they maintained their silence. On the other hand, Lu Chen pursed his lips and was about to step forward.    

"Lu Chen, what are you doing?"    

Sensing that he was ready to make a move, Fu Feng hurriedly stopped him and asked nervously.    

"Since you've agreed to be Brother Chang, then go and get first place." With that, Lu Chen walked towards the arena with steady steps.    

In the next moment, a terrifying and vast sword force shot up into the sky. From afar, it looked like a huge dragon that was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.    

"I want to be the champion of the Dao Society, so please advise me."    

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Lu Chen spoke plainly towards Nan Hongyi and Su Yuvrann. His calm tone carried an unimaginable confidence.    

"What is he doing?"    

"He wants to challenge Senior Sister Nan and Senior Brother Su. Is he crazy?"    

"No matter if it is Sister Nan or Brother Su, both of them are much stronger than Zheng Manghu."    

"Lu Chen is absolutely crazy! He's a complete madman! "    

… ….    

Everyone came to their senses and looked at Lu Chen in disbelief.
