With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 359 The Origin of the Upside-Down Sword with Tiger-Shaped Mark, a Divine Weapon!
Meng Chuan was already filled with nameless anger at being deliberately targeted.

At this moment, the intense white flames emanating from the fist were precisely what was meant to unleash all of this.

Do you really think you're easy to bully?

So what if he was the previous champion!

"A mere restriction? How dare you break free of my shadow bondage..."

On She Yu's side, although she was shocked by Meng Chuan's terrifying strength, she was momentarily lost in thought.

After all, he was a true disciple of the previous generation of Martial Arts Masters, and he was also a second-tier disciple.

She Yu reacted instantly, and with a casual flick of her wrist, she began to gather the energy.

His true energy surged like a python, silvery white like a ribbon, quickly solidifying around his arm, and he raised his palm to strike it heavily.

The others had already retreated to a safe distance without prior arrangement, holding their breath to watch the two fight fiercely.

Mars collides with Earth; a split second.

boom--!
Shang Ruyi appeared beside She Yu at some point and took the punch for her.

At the same time, his left palm was also clasped with She Yu's.

The moment they made contact, all of She Yu's true energy, strength, and serpentine intent—all his skills—vanished into nothingness.

Meng Chuan also felt as if his right fist was stuck in quagmire, unable to be pulled out.

He continued to exert force, but his efforts seemed to sink without a trace.

The tiger's imposing aura was so real that it seemed to come alive, and a giant, striped tiger slowly emerged from beside Shang Ruyi.

Looking up, the roar of a tiger echoed through the mountains!

Roar! ! !
The two retreated dozens of steps in an instant, backing into the crowd, before they could withstand the majestic roar.

The tiger squatted on the ground, licked its fur, glanced at the two of them, and then transformed into a wisp of wind and disappeared in an instant.

"From now on, and when entering the Demon's Nest, no internal strife is allowed."

Any grudges can be settled after the trial. Those who walk different paths should not work together; let's each do our own thing and not disappoint Principal Sui.

Shang Ruyi shouted those words.

The tiger's roar was like an imprint, deeply etched in their minds.

Whenever internal strife arises again, these words will always come to mind.

Shang Ruyi's spiritual power, like a gentle spring breeze and nourishing rain, silently opened the minds of the two.

But this has no effect on them; they only become alert when their limbs are touched.

Meng Chuan vaguely sensed that it would dissipate in a few days.

This was the skill of a martial arts master, and he admired it greatly.

However, he admired Shang Ruyi's character even more.

Despite having seized the opportunity to learn the "True Martial Arts Inheritance" from the other party's disciple, he remained impartial in his actions.

As expected of someone who practices the Tiger Form, he exudes a grand and heroic aura.

But why is it that Wu Hong, like a coward, can use a woman as a tool?
After sensing it again, the panel in his mind suddenly flashed a few times, and Meng Chuan's eyes lit up.

"No, this can also trigger the Reverse Observation Pattern?"

The mark left by Shang Ruyi in his mind was like a lurking beast.

Touching it with my senses, I found it to be exactly the same as the crane-shaped mark I had previously obtained from Luoqin of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

This is not the time to investigate. Meng Chuanchao cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, not even bothering to ask She Yu, and turned back to the Yong'an group.

On the other side, Wu Hong had completely calmed down.

He knew that the strength Meng Chuan had shown was far from his limit.

Zhenwu, the battle armor, and his abnormal physical abilities were all not revealed in the slightest.

Even so, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to withstand it.
His penis had gone limp by now, and his mind was completely clear.

It's not that I'm being self-deprecating, but I know I can't beat Meng Chuanyi in three aspects.

Now that both of them have six orifices, how could he possibly win?
Thinking of this, his gaze toward Meng Chuan involuntarily carried a hint of fear.

"This kid chickened out?"

Meng Chuan's Dao Heart stirred, and he also noticed this scene.

But he didn't care; the other party's master was still around, and he had just received a benefit.

With Shang Ruyi present, those who understand the times are the heroes.
If She Yu continues to make trouble after this matter is over...

Once the mental imprint in my mind dissipates, I'll teach her a good lesson.

Having only just entered the second level, Meng Chuan had nothing to fear and went straight for the kill.

At this moment, She Yu's mind was in turmoil, and she couldn't come up with a solution no matter how hard she tried.

Why is it that a mere limitation can allow one to break free from the shackles of one's own power?

Meng Chuan's actions were simply a matter of "habit".

She was simply used to dominating everything. From the moment she started learning Guoyiquan, She Yu had always been the school's big sister.

Even after arriving at Beilian University, she remained the most outstanding martial arts master among her peers.

When he gave Meng Chuan the order, it was just a casual remark out of habit, and he didn't expect the other party to show him no respect at all.

That's why we're seeing this scene today, with Meng Chuan being regarded as an outcast who must be suppressed.

I have lost face in this situation. I waited for my mental energy to dissipate.
The next night.

Outside Dengzhou City, in the Hengshan military restricted area.

This is the location of [Huangsha 011]. Countless powerful figures moved about, like candles in the dark night, eventually gathering into a torch at the foot of the mountain.

These are all the elite new blood of the Four Directions Alliance in the past two years, young martial artists.

Looking around, there were seven or eight hundred people waiting here.

Some acquaintances from other schools had not seen each other for a long time and chatted with one another.

Even students in regular classes could get into the Four Directions University.

They will not be older than thirty when they are promoted to martial arts masters.

For a martial artist, thirty years old is nothing more than youth.

"Brother Wang, you've broken through too?" "Haha, lucky me. I'm twenty-eight now. If I hadn't broken through soon, it would have been too late."

Wang Zhiyuan is a senior student at the Western Union University. He broke through to the level of a martial artist just two months ago.

Seeing that most of the faces around him were younger than himself, he felt a little emotional.

He looked into the distance and saw a large number of participants in the trials, dressed in dragon costumes, arriving.

Fengtian is far from Dengzhou, and it takes a long time to get there.

After Meng Chuan stood still, he looked at the martial artists from the other three universities.

Some familiar faces greeted him; they were acquaintances he had met before at the Supernova Games.

But he didn't recognize most of the others, as he was busy practicing martial arts and didn't have time to pay attention to them.

While practicing his inner energy cultivation technique in a spare moment, Meng Chuan turned his gaze to his right to the crowd of people wearing white martial arts uniforms with wave patterns.

His gaze fell upon a man with his hands behind his back and a sword on his back within the East Union's ranks.

[Upside-down Sword - Chen Xuan], the only top genius among all the elites to be included in the national talent pool.
Meng Chuan has been paying close attention to the assessment of the national talent pool.

He currently only has a registration quota, but the specific assessment has not yet started, and he doesn't know what the assessment will be about.

"When the opportunity arises, ask them."

There is very little personal information about Chen Xuan available online, and there are no video recordings of any of his matches.

But Meng Chuan is certain that this person is extremely capable, given that he was able to obtain a national talent quota.

Moreover, even with his current physical strength, the sword on his back felt like it was about to be cut open.

This sharp illusion, generated even before any contact, is something that even the "Moon Over the Bridge of Helplessness" cannot provide him with now.

Therefore, the identity of the sword behind the other party is obvious.

"A Grandmaster-level True Martial Arts?"

Chen Xuan only had one limit; the fourth-grade Grandmaster Zhenwu was already the upper limit for holding such a weapon, and the vessel could not be overloaded.

True weapons of the fifth rank and above are all unparalleled divine weapons with a history of over a thousand years.

Over the long course of time, nurtured by generations, it has long since developed its intelligence.

For example, before Meng Chuan, there was a special battle merit area in the merit armory.

Upon seeing the sixth-rank Heavenly King Divine Weapon, the [Dawn Divine Sword].

Legend has it that this sword is even older than what is recorded in historical records.

Some say that the Dawn Sword was formed from a wisp of primordial chaos that leaked out when the world was boiling like a cauldron of primordial energy.

Some have also said that this sword was the one that the Yellow Emperor received in a dream from the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden when he fought Chiyou, and that he retrieved it from the netherworld.

The Yellow Emperor once drew a line on the ground with his sword. Wherever the sword's energy passed, mountains and rivers were reshaped and their courses were changed, thus finally establishing the pattern of the Nine Provinces.

Meng Chuan didn't really believe either of these claims.

But according to historical records, from ancient times to the present, every time this sword was drawn...

All of these can cause changes in the landscape, either helping a wise ruler to quell chaos or inspiring heroes to vanquish demons.

It is now treasured in the treasury of the Great Chu Kingdom, waiting for someone destined to accumulate enough special battle merits to exchange for it.

Meng Chuan felt he had no chance, even if he could obtain so many special military achievements.

Why change the sword? Wouldn't it be better to get two "divine fists"?
Moreover, Zhenwu weapons of the fifth rank and above are all called divine weapons.

Without matching strength, such a divine weapon will not recognize a master.

Most of them require reaching the state of "divine harmony," meaning only a venerable person is qualified to possess them and unleash their power.

Stopping thinking about these distant matters, Meng Chuan came back to his senses.

Like everyone else in Beilian, they gathered around Shang Ruyi to listen to his explanation of the precautions for this trial.

Shangruyidao:
"This competition among the four schools will be based on merits in battle, which means judging the number and quality of demons killed by each of the four schools."

Although there is no individual ranking for this trial, your individual contributions within the group can be recorded using the military artifact, the [Battle Merit Jade Talisman].

Those who make the highest contributions will be tallied by the school after the trial ends, and will receive additional rewards.

You can keep the Heavenly Demon materials for yourselves and exchange them for extra battle merits at the supply depot after you come out.

Of course, you can also sell it to the school in exchange for academic credits.

The choice depends on your individual needs.

Meng Chuan nodded. He wasn't stupid; of course, he would exchange it for academic credits.

Everyone at the Yong'an campus shared his thoughts.

Meng Chuan won this year's [Martial Arts Master] title, taking advantage of the 15% discount event.

It's definitely more cost-effective to convert it into academic credits and then exchange it for resources.

People from other campuses do not enjoy this benefit.

At this moment, he also silently envied the people of Yong'an.

Those at headquarters, in particular, looked at Wu Hong with a sense of disappointment and frustration.

Seeing this, Wu Hong's expression was somewhat helpless.

He didn't want to lose, but if he couldn't beat them, he simply couldn't.
but
He looked at Meng Chuan and thought to himself:

"Although Meng Chuan is skilled in fighting, I should have a slight advantage when it comes to hunting down Heavenly Demons."

This wasn't his first time venturing into the demon's lair; he had participated once before with his master and had some relevant experience.

Meng Chuan had no idea that Wu Hong was once again struggling with himself.

He just wanted to take advantage of this trial to accumulate more battle merits and credits so that he could use them after advancing to the second level.

Seeing that the commander of the Dengzhou garrison had not yet arrived, Meng Chuan closed his eyes to regulate his breathing and took the time to cultivate.

Half an hour later, a middle-aged man with an extremely imposing presence walked over.

He has a standard square face, and his most distinctive feature is his pair of eyes.

His eyes were like those of an eagle, bright and piercing.

Meng Chuan realized that this person was the military leader in charge of coordinating the four-school trial.

The Five Limits Venerable, [Divine Eagle Falcon - Yang Zhuo].
