Invincible Martial King

"Even though you say so, how difficult is it to enter the top ten of Earth Rank. From what I know, among the top ten Earth Rank s, there are only two people present. One of them is the elusive Senior Gu Nanfeng from the East Branch, and the other one is the most frightening one, the strongest demon born in Chen Family, Chen Jinnan. His Earth Rank rank is even higher than Senior Gu, and he is ranked third. "    

    

"If you want to enter the top ten of Earth Rank, in my opinion, not only must you be ranked in the top five of the two chambers, you must at least be ranked in the first or second place. That is to say, you have to at least defeat the two of them, or one of them."    

    

Ao Hong shook his head and sighed, "This is too difficult. You must know, they are the two strongest students in our Dagan Academic Palace young generation. "    

    

Hearing this, Lu Chen frowned. From the looks of it, just getting the top five rankings is not enough. We should at least get the first or second place in the competition?    

    

"This..."    

    

Zhang Hongru laughed awkwardly, but he still nodded. He didn't pay much attention to the Earth Rank's ranking, so when Ao Hong explained in detail, he finally understood.    

    

"May I ask seniors, what level of strength did the two people you mentioned reach?" Lu Chen's face revealed a curious expression as he asked in a deep voice.    

    

"About that, you can ask Suen Zhongda. Back then, he personally challenged Senior Gu Nanfeng." Hearing that, Ao Hong chuckled and pointed at Suen Zhongda.    

    

"Zhongda, you don't mind." Ao Hong smiled and said to Suen Zhongda.    

    

"Hmph, this is all in the past, there's nothing to hide." Suen Zhongda snorted, and said in a muffled voice: "I have not fought with that West Campus demon, but our East Branch's Senior Gu Nanfeng is indeed terrifying."    

    

"Back then, I had just advanced into the Eighth Layer Of Martial Tao Sect Master, and my cultivation method had a huge breakthrough, so I challenged him. I wanted to see how big of a difference there was between me and that kind of monstrous person." At this point, Suen Zhongda paused and his face turned serious. He continued, "But I did not expect that I would not even be able to withstand one of his attacks."    

    

"Furthermore, I can feel that he only used a bit of his strength in that attack, but even so, it took me a full half a month of rest before I could recover."    

    

After Suen Zhongda finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.    

    

Zhang Hongru and Ao Hong looked at each other in dismay. The smile on their faces gradually disappeared. They never thought that Suen Zhongda would not be able to take even one blow when he challenged Gu Nanfeng!    

    

"Defeat the Eighth Layer Of Martial Tao Sect Master in one move?"    

    

Lu Chen's brows furrowed and his eyes revealed a pondering look. It seemed like the Eastern Courtyard's Gu Nanfeng was simply unfathomable, with a conservative estimate of his Ninth Layer Of Martial Tao Sect Master's cultivation, and as for the even stronger Chen Family's evildoer Chen Jinnan, he was even more terrifying.    

    

If he wanted to obtain the qualifications to enter the Imperial Palace in the top ten of Earth Rank, that would also mean he had to at least possess the strength to face off against Ninth Layer Of Martial Tao Sect Master head-on! Only by being even more powerful would he be able to ensure that he would be able to defeat one of them.    

    

However, in the martial dao master stage, as the level of cultivation gradually increased, the difference in strength grew greater and greater. Lu Chen, with the support of his Peerless Martial Spirit and Eternity Chaos Arts, had to use all his strength at the third level of the Grandmaster Realm in the final moment when he was facing the dialect of Eighth Layer Of Martial Tao Sect Master. Only then was he able to withstand the opponent's attack and kill him.    

    

If he did not conceal his realm anymore, his current total strength should be enough to go shoulder to shoulder with a practitioner with perfect Eighth Layer Of Martial Tao Sect Master. However, if he wanted to fight against that expert with Ninth Layer Of Martial Tao Sect Master, he would need to at least break through to the Fourth Layer Of Martial Tao Sect Master, and if he wanted to kill an expert with ordinary Ninth Layer Of Martial Tao Sect Master, he would need to raise his strength to the Fifth Layer of a Grandmaster.    

    

However, facing a master at the peak of the Ninth Layer Of Martial Tao Sect Master, and even that genius with a terrifying cultivation technique, Lu Chen had to at least break through to the Sixth Heavenly Layer of the Martial Dao, or even higher.    

    

"Whether it's senior Gu Nanfeng or Chen Family, both of them are too far away from us."    

    

There is still nearly a year's time before the competition between the two academies. Maybe by then, you will be able to become an existence only second to senior Gu Nanfeng and become one of the top ten in Earth Rank.    

    

Seeing Lu Chen fall into silence, Zhang Hongru thought that Lu Chen had suffered a blow, so he tried to comfort him.    

    

"There's a high possibility that you're this powerful." Hearing this, Suen Zhongda nodded his head and acknowledged it.    

    

"That's right, that's right."    

    

"With a monstrous talent like you, it won't be long before you become another monstrous talent of our East Branch." Ao Hong also laughed.    

    

"Maybe."    

    

"It's just that I didn't expect that there would be endless geniuses in the academy. There's still a huge gap between me and those monsters." Lu Chen smiled and said with a helpless expression.    

    

"Isn't he full of youthful vigor?"    

    

"Your current performance is ten or a hundred times better than ours back in the freshmen stage."    

    

"Sooner or later, he will become another demon-level character of our academy. It's just a matter of time."    

    

Ao Hong grinned and said.    

    

"Alright, let's not bring this up."    

    

"It's urgent that we finish Third Prince's mission as soon as possible." Zhang Hongru coughed dryly, then said seriously: "Lu Chen, if you don't have any other plans, how about you come with us to explore the Ancient Weapon remains?"    

    

"Is that the area recorded on the map?" Lu Chen was stunned at first, but soon after, he revealed a surprised look and asked with a smile, "After all, you were entrusted by Third Prince, isn't it inappropriate to pull me along now?"    

    

"If it wasn't for your help, this map would probably have been snatched away. I believe Third Prince wouldn't blame us, and he would instead approve of our actions."    

    

Zhang Hongru and Suen Zhongda looked at each other and laughed.    

    

"Alright."    

    

Lu Chen hesitated for a moment before agreeing. He was indeed a little curious about this so called Ancient Weapon, and from what he knew, being able to be called "Ancient Weapon" was a treasure among magic tools, and with a long history of at least a thousand years, it was passed down as a terrifying magic tool, the lowest grade of it was at the top-grade, and most importantly, as an expert of Martial Monarch Level, he had seen a few of these ancient weapons before, so their might was extremely terrifying.    

    

It was just that he did not expect that there were traces of such a weapon in the Dagan Academic Palace.    

    

After resting for a while, under Zhang Hongru's lead, Lu Chen quickly flew toward the Great Fantasy Stage region with them. The few of them were all martial practitioners, so their flying speed was extremely fast, but even so, they still flew for close to a day before arriving at the ruins.
