Zhang Ruochen’s eyes revealed a joyful look as he immediately asked, “Which Five Elements Spiritual Treasure did you obtain in the Five Elements Ruins Realm?”
In the Five Elemental Ruins Realm, Zhang Ruochen had obtained a total of three Five Elemental Spiritual Treasures, the Black Water Glazed Crystal, the Purple Cloud Sinking Wood, and the Golden God Chi.
However, there were two other spiritual treasures that were not harvested.
Zhang Ruochen naturally had ambitions above martial cultivation, not just wanting to cultivate into a Dual Spirit Treasure Body, or a Triple Spirit Treasure Body, but wanting to cultivate a Five Elements Chaotic Body that surpassed the Saint Body.
People, if they didn’t have ambition, how could they become human?
Martial artists, if they didn’t have ambition, how could they become a world-defying powerhouse?
“One of the five spiritual treasures, the Sacred Blood Nurturing Earth.”
Duanmu Xingling blinked her eyes with a smile on her face as she continued, “As long as you are able to defeat Lu Tiantian, I can give you a copy of the Sacred Nurturing Blood Soil.”
“No need, I also happen to have obtained three Five Elements Spiritual Treasures, and I can exchange two of them, the Black Water Glazed Crystal and the Purple Cloud Sunken Fragrance Wood, with you.”Zhang Ruochen said.
The Golden God Chi was scarce, and before cultivating into the Golden Spirit Treasure Body, Zhang Ruochen would not easily take it out to exchange and sell it. The Black Water Glazed Crystal and Purple Cloud Incense Wood, however, Zhang Ruochen had plenty of them.
From the conversation with Zhang Ruochen, Duanmu Xingling could feel Zhang Ruochen’s detachment from her.
If it was before, if she were to gift Zhang Ruochen treasures, Zhang Ruochen would never be polite with her.
She stared Avray at Zhang Ruochen and didn’t continue to speak more.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a landslide of shouts rang out in the Martial Market Fighting Arena, and everyone stood up, calling out the name of “Ruotian”.
It turned out that just a moment ago, while Zhang Ruochen was exchanging words with Duanmu Xingling, Lu Flipping Tian had already defeated Yi Qu Sheng and knocked him off the Heavenly Battle Stage.
One must know that Yi Qu Sheng was ranked in the top 10,000 of the Heavenly Ranking, and could compete with the strongest of the Fish Dragon First Transformation. Many people did not expect that he would actually lose to Lu Flipping Tian so quickly, only lasting for ninety-two moves.
“Lu Flipping Tian is only at the Heavenly Extremity Realm’s Great Extremity Position now, and he actually managed to defeat Yi Qu Sheng within a hundred moves. Within five years, Lu Flipping Tian will surely reach the Heavenly Extreme Realm Great Extremity, and after accumulating for a few more years, he will have a chance to impact the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking.”
“It’s unlikely! The characters in the top ten of the Heavenly Rankings are either Saint Bodies or heavenly prides who can fight against Saint Bodies in the same realm. The difficulty of trying to impact the top ten of The Heavenly Ranking is ten or a hundred times more difficult than even impacting the Fish Dragon Realm.”
“Difficulty you haven’t seen yet, with Lu Flipping Heaven’s current strength, in the same realm, it’s already not much weaker than a Sacred Body.”
“What? He’s actually that strong?”
……
…………
The entire Martial City Fighting Arena, all of them were stunned by the strength that Lu Flipping Tian had displayed, and some of the former experts who had crossed over into the Fish Dragon Realm even predicted that within ten years, Lu Flipping Tian would have a chance to rush into the top ten of The Heavenly Ranking.
Right now, there were as many as millions of martial artists who had entered The Heavenly Ranking, spread throughout the entire Kunlun Realm. However, only those who entered the top hundred, the top ten, would be remembered by the crowd and become famous in the true sense of the word.
It could be said that being in the top ten of The Heavenly Ranking was an extremely high honour.
If it was in a great era where geniuses came out in abundance, even a person of great calibre with a Saint Body might not be able to be ranked in the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking.
An old man in a purple robe sitting above the Heavenly Battle Stage announced, ”The Divine Sword Holy Land’s Lu Flipping Sky, defeating the Hanging Hollow Sect’s Yi Qu Sheng, replacing Yi Qu Sheng’s ranking of 5800 on the Heavenly Ranking, and obtaining 287,000 points of military merit value. Lu Flipping Heaven, do you still want to challenge for a higher ranking in The Heavenly Ranking?”
Lu Flipping Tian stood upright at the centre of the Heavenly Ranking Battle Stage, turned around, his gaze fixed on Zhang Ruochen’s body, raised his arm, and pointed his sword, saying, “Zhang Ruochen, since you’ve already come, let’s have a fair fight. Today, I’m going to learn just how strong the young king of the Eastern Region is?”
Following Lu Flipping Tian’s gaze, the crowd stared towards Zhang Ruochen.
“What? Zhang Ruochen actually came to the Martial Market Fighting Arena as well, and Lu Flipping Tian is actually going to fight him.”A young martial artist in his teens was surprised and looked around for Zhang Ruochen.
A bald man in cloths sat in the first row of the Martial Market Fighting Arena, tall and full of flesh, like a butcher.
Only, his pair of eyes were incomparably deep and filled with the light of wisdom, forming a very different aura from his physical form.
The bald man’s hands, clasped in front of his chest, said to the young one just now, ”Don’t you know? Today, I came to the Martial City Fighting Arena specifically to see the two of them fight. This is a battle of dragons and tigers, both of them are first-class pride of heaven, if they don’t fight, I’m afraid it’s difficult for anyone to predict who is stronger.”
On the bald man’s waist, there were four tokens hanging, the black yellow grade iron order, the green Xuan grade copper order, the white earth grade silver order, and the golden heaven grade gold order, which represented that he was ranked in the Yellow Extreme Realm into the Yellow Ranking, in the Xuan Extreme Realm into the Xuan Ranking, in the Earth Extreme Realm into the Earth Ranking, and in the Heaven Extreme Realm into the Heaven Ranking.
On top of the yellow level iron order, the words “yellow list number one” were printed. Above the Xuan level copper order, the words “No.1 on the Xuan list” were printed. Above the earth level silver order, the words “No.1 on the earth list” were printed on it.
As for the last golden Heavenly Grade Gold Order, it was covered by the three tokens above it, so he couldn’t see the words printed on it, and naturally, he couldn’t see his ranking in the Heavenly Ranking.
However, seeing his rankings in The Yellow Ranking, The Xuan Ranking, and The Earth Ranking was scary enough to stun the young martial artist sitting next to him, and he didn’t dare to continue speaking at once.
To the left of that one bald man, sat a young woman with a veil over her face.
Her eyes, which were exposed, were very beautiful.
She naturally also saw the three tokens on the bald man’s waist, yet she still appeared relaxed as she coldly snorted and said, ”I don’t think so… Zhang Ruochen is only about twenty years old now, and has only been cultivating the Martial Dao for a few years. Lu Flipping Sky’s age, having reached twenty-six years old, his martial arts cultivation must be above Zhang Ruochen.”
The bald man said, “In that case, you are more favourable to Lu Flipping Tian?”
The masked woman smiled and said, “If they were in the same realm, Zhang Ruochen might be a step stronger than Lu Flipping Tian. As for now, Zhang Ruochen shouldn’t be a match for Lu Flipping Tian yet.”
“Perhaps!”The bald man said.
Today’s Martial Market Fighting Arena hid many Heaven Ranking experts, some of whom had been famous for many years. Normally, they were either training in the Market Realm Battlefield or in closed-door cultivation.
However, when they heard that Lu Flipping Heaven was going to openly challenge Zhang Ruochen, one of the six kings of the new generation, many of the Heaven Ranking powerhouses who were in seclusion had specially come out of their seclusion and came to watch the battle.
Many of them, wanted to know, just how strong was Zhang Ruochen? Was he worthy of the title of Young King?
If Zhang Ruochen did not deserve it, many people wanted to replace him.
“The title of “Young King” could almost be compared to the honour of being one of the top ten on the Heavenly Ranking.
When a person establishes a name, he establishes a shadow.
An unknown number of geniuses stood below, looking up at them, ready to rush up, knock them down, and take their place.
Under the gazes of the crowd, Zhang Ruochen carried the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword on his back as he stepped up to the Heavenly Battle Stage and stood opposite to Lu Flipping Sky.
In an instant, the entire Martial Market Fighting Arena fell silent, and countless pairs of eyes became very hot.
Zhang Ruochen appeared calm and unperturbed by the outside world as he said, “Brother Lu, you just had eight battles and must have consumed a lot of True Qi. I’ll wait for you for half an hour, and it won’t be too late for us to fight again when you’ve recovered your peak state.”
Lu Flipping Heaven was not polite, immediately taking a Qi Recovery Pill, he stood in the centre of the Heaven Grade Battle Stage and began to recover his True Qi.
From this, it could be seen that he also attached considerable importance to this battle, knowing that Zhang Ruochen would be very difficult to defeat, and definitely could not afford to be arrogant.
At the same time, Zhang Ruochen also closed his eyes and once again began to recall Kong Lan You’s move of Heavenly Heart Pointing the Way, wanting to continue to comprehend the subtle sword path contained in that sword move.
Although he had now reached the realm of the Sword Heart Understanding, he could only be considered to be at the beginning stage of the Sword Heart Understanding, which was already quite impressive amongst the cultivators of the Heavenly Extremity Realm and the Fish Dragon Realm. However, in front of a Saint, it was still far from the truth.
If he was able to comprehend one or two points of the essence of Kong Lanyou’s move, the Heavenly Heart Direction, he would definitely be able to cross over into the middle stage of the Sword Mind Understanding realm.
Half an hour quickly passed.
Lu Flipping Tian reopened his eyes, a sharp essence emanating from his eyes as he said, “Zhang Ruochen, I’ve already recovered my peak state, so make your sword move!”
“In that case, let’s fight!”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t open his eyes, he just lucked his five fingers, and the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword on his back immediately flew out and fell into his hands.
“Wow!”
A casual move was performed, and it was precisely the “Heavenly Heart Pointing Path” that he had already rehearsed countless times in his mind.
It appeared to be just a sword, but it formed countless sword shadows, and in the end, it converged into a ten-metre-long sword path that stretched all the way to Lu Flipping Tian’s body.
A simple move of a Spirit Grade Lower Grade Sword Technique, yet it caused Lu Flipping Tian to create a feeling of being unable to crack it. The aura he had gathered instantly collapsed, and he had to step on his footsteps and retreat backward at a rapid pace.
If he did not retreat, he would not be able to deal with Zhang Ruochen’s next sword move at all.
What kind of cultivation was Kong Lanyou, the move that she had performed, the Heavenly Heart Pointing the Way, could almost be called a saint’s preaching, not only was she competing with Zhang Ruochen’s sword, she was also instructing Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen was also so enlightened that even though it was only a short day, he had already comprehended a lot of the true meaning of that move’s sword technique. Without realising it, his Sword Dao Realm had already risen a bit more.
It was because of this that he was able to force back a strong person like Lu Flipping Tian by executing a Heavenly Heart Pointing Move.
Just as Lu Flipping Tian stood firmly on his feet, his legs bent and his waist sunk down in a defensive stance, he prepared to meet Zhang Ruochen’s even more ferocious sword attacks.
However, he found that the second move Zhang Ruochen performed was still the same lower grade Spirit Grade sword move from earlier, Heavenly Heart Pointing the Way.
“Why is it this move again?”
Lu Flipping Sky had a great headache.
A seemingly simple sword move, yet it was full of endless variables, making him not dare to easily resist it either.
Thus, he could only perform his stance again and dodged.
Before Zhang Ruochen had revealed his killing move, Lu Tiantian had maintained a cautious attitude.
In this battle, he had to prove that he possessed the strength of a young king, so he absolutely could not lose or be careless.
Seeing the two men’s state of engagement, many of the martial artists sitting on the viewing platforms were very puzzled and quite perplexed.
“Zhang Ruochen actually fought against Lu Tiantian with his eyes closed, would he be too arrogant?”That one masked woman, frowning slightly, said with some disgust.
In her opinion, Zhang Ruochen fighting Lu Flipping Tian with his eyes closed was disrespectful to his opponent.
Duanmu Xingling laughed, “With Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual strength, there is no difference between fighting with his eyes open and fighting with his eyes closed. Don’t you know that Zhang Ruochen’s talent above spiritual power is higher than his talent in martial arts?”
Afterwards, Duanmu Xingling rested her chin, her beautiful eyes glittering as she stared at the Heavenly Battle Stage and continued, “Moreover, I think that Zhang Ruochen is not fighting, but has entered some sort of cultivation state, he should be comprehending a profound sword technique.”
