Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

In the training ground.

Liu Chen unleashed his full power.

He unleashed a martial art of the first rank of the Traveler that he had practiced for a long time.

Chu Yun Sword Technique.

He broke through to the half-step True Essence Realm half a year ago, and he began to comprehend this sword technique a year ago when he reached the perfection of the fifth stage of the Innate Realm.

His father, a powerful expert at the fourth rank, personally guided his cultivation.

He has now cultivated to a high level.

He used his True Essence, which was at the early stage of the True Essence Realm, to force himself to defeat Gu Chen.

He had just made some outrageous remarks, demanding that Gu Chen give an explanation for injuring his Qingyun Sword Sect disciple and insulting the Qingyun Sword Sect's reputation.

He would have been defeated by Gu Chen in the blink of an eye.

Not only did he fail to get his way, but he and the Qingyun Sword Sect may also become a laughing stock once again.

This is something he will not allow.

The Great Completion level of the Initial Cloud Sword Technique, when wielded by a True Essence Realm early stage expert like him, already possessed considerable power.

It was several times more powerful than the Cold Star Sword Technique that Ye Xuemei had just unleashed at full power.

pity.

The punch from Shang Gu Chen was completely ineffective.

Liu Chen's sword strikes carried the momentum of chasing clouds and shattering the sun, with sharp sword light and true essence like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, heading towards Gu Chen.

He met Gu Chen's punch head-on.

Gu Chen's punch.

It is like a towering, imposing mountain.

Liu Chen's Cloud-Chasing and Sun-Breaking Sword Light struck the high mountain and could not advance an inch.

And then it immediately crumbled and disintegrated, piece by piece.

Then Gu Chen's punch was like Mount Tai pressing down.

They were closing in on Liu Chen.

It blasted him so hard that he was sent flying backwards.

Gu Chen's punch was extremely powerful. He didn't hold back much, only controlling it to the point that it wouldn't harm Liu Chen's life.

As for the extent of his injuries, he didn't know.

It depends on whether Liu Chen can take a beating.

Liu Chen was sent flying backward, coughing up blood, by Gu Chen's punch. His long sword fell from the air and landed even further away than Ye Xuemei had just been.

It then slid for another ten meters or so before stopping.

After Liu Chen stopped moving, he felt excruciating pain all over his body, as if his body was about to fall apart. Gu Chen's alien true essence had invaded his body and was destroying it.

This battle caused him great physical damage.

He will probably need several months to recover his strength.

An overwhelming victory.

Gu Chen was standing in the center of the training ground.

All eyes are on us.

The various factions in Jiuwan City cheered and applauded.

As to who would win between the two, they naturally supported their own city's Night Watch Master.

After all, the evil spirits, demons, and cults causing trouble within the territory of Jiuwan City are all under the jurisdiction of the Night Watch.

If you encounter evil spirits, seeking help from the Night Watch is the right thing to do.

Therefore, the Night Watch has a very positive image in the hearts of the people of Nine Bays City and various forces.

The disciples of these top-tier forces became arrogant and domineering as soon as they arrived in Jiuwan City, showing no regard for the forces and people of Jiuwan City.

They expect to be superior from the start, and everyone has to give way to them. This behavior makes many people from the lower classes and ordinary citizens very unhappy.

Seeing Liu Chen defeated, they were naturally overjoyed.

Now that Gu Chen has broken through to the True Essence Realm, with him in charge of Jiuwan City in the future, no evil cults or demons will dare to show their faces.

Fang Zhoujin instructed someone to record the details of today's challenge, which would be reported to the Chief Inspector of the Inspection Department later.

The rankings for the next edition of the Prodigy Ranking.

Gu Chen's ranking is about to rise.

And it's not as simple as just moving up one rank.

Several people in the early True Essence Realm before him had broken through to the next level.

But his combat strength may not be as strong as his.

Judging from Gu Chen's combat strength, he was able to easily defeat Liu Chen, who was also at the early stage of the True Yuan Realm.

They are at least at the mid-stage of the True Essence Realm.

Moreover, the cultivation technique he mastered is somewhat similar to the Four Beasts Celestial Phenomenon Technique, one of the top techniques in the Night Watch.

Among top-tier cultivation techniques, few can generate unique types of true essence.

The Four Beasts Celestial Phenomenon Technique is one of them.

This technique, once successfully mastered, can give rise to four sacred beasts: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, greatly enhancing combat power.

Just now, when Gu Chen threw a punch, there were sounds of dragon roars and tiger howls, which perfectly matched the artistic conception of this technique.

It is said that only the current head of the Night Watch Division, a powerful figure at the level of a terrestrial immortal, has mastered this Four Beasts Celestial Phenomenon Technique.

If Gu Chen also succeeds in his cultivation, he will become the second one.

This is big news.

He was only guessing at the moment and needed to verify it with the Night Watch. If it was true, then Gu Chen's ability to possess the combat power of the mid-stage True Essence Realm would be no exception.

With his combat power reaching the mid-stage of the True Essence Realm, Gu Chen's ranking on the Prodigy Ranking would be enough to advance fifty places, reaching the top 450.

Gu Chen nodded to the people around him.

He then prepared to turn and leave.

Now that the challenge is over, he should go back to refining pills.

Go back and work hard for two months to raise your cultivation to the mid-stage of the Breaking Aperture Realm as soon as possible.

"Stop!" A deep, cold voice rang out.

It came from the direction of the Qingyun Sword Sect.

Gu Chen stopped, his gaze turning towards the direction of the Qingyun Sword Sect. His calm expression changed, and his brows furrowed: "Qingyun Sword Sect, do you have any further guidance?"

at this time.

The disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect had already helped Liu Chen up.

Yu Chifeng fed him a healing pill.

After observing his injuries, his face turned pale; Liu Chen was severely injured.

Although his life was not in danger, he would be unable to cultivate for the next few months.

For a prodigy like Liu Chen, who is on the list of geniuses, every day's cultivation time is extremely precious. The fact that he has to recuperate for several months and cannot cultivate has a huge impact on him.

He may miss out on the chance to become the chief disciple of the Qingyun Sword Sect's Feidu Peak this time.

Gu Chen, what ruthless methods you have.

Tian Lie looked at Gu Chen, his eyes icy cold: "Boy, a few days ago you injured both of our disciples and publicly insulted the reputation of my sect. Now, in front of everyone, you've seriously injured my nephew. Do you think you can just walk away like this?"

Gu Chen is too arrogant.

He had to teach Gu Chen a lesson.

Otherwise, Gu Chen would really be taking advantage of them.

The Night Watch is strong, but the Qingyun Sword Sect is not weak either.

If Gu Chen were a high-ranking expert of the upper three ranks in the Night Watch, he might be afraid, but Gu Chen was just a minor Night Watch Chief of Jiuwan City.

How dare he act like this? He's not strong enough. Does he really think the Night Watch's name can protect him?

As long as he doesn't kill Gu Chen, even if he beats Gu Chen up today, the Night Watch Division won't bother the Qingyun Sword Sect for Gu Chen's sake.

"I beat up your disciples in public, why don't you go and ask if your disciples provoked me first?" Gu Chen coldly shouted, "Your Qingyun Sword Sect disciples are arrogant and domineering. As soon as you arrive at my Jiuwan City Restaurant, you demand that we give up our seats. If we don't, you forcibly kick us out. Your Qingyun Sword Sect has cultivated such a group of arrogant, domineering, and unreasonable spoiled brats. After I taught you a lesson, instead of reflecting on your actions, you blame me."

"Is this the style of your Qingyun Sword Sect? With this kind of style, you don't even allow people to speak out? If I point it out, it's an insult to your sect's reputation. How ridiculous!" Gu Chen sneered.

"Insolence!" Tian Lie shouted coldly, unleashing his fifth-grade cultivation.

In an instant, the entire training ground became oppressive.

Everyone felt like they couldn't breathe.

A master of the fifth rank of the Sea Transformation Realm.

Not to mention in Jiuwan City, it's not even in Heiyan Prefecture normally.

That's a top-tier existence that can only be found in Yuehai County.

The pressure it brings is something that most people cannot bear.

Seeing the fifth-grade pressure released by Tian Lie, Gu Chen's expression turned solemn.

His current cultivation level is only at the early stage of the sixth-grade Breakthrough Realm. Even if he fully activates the Azure Dragon and White Tiger phenomena, he can only barely resist a powerhouse at the late stage of the Breakthrough Realm.

It is absolutely impossible to resist the existence of a fifth-rank being.

If Tian Lie were to attack him today...

He will be in a lot of trouble.

At that moment, Tian Lie's figure on the stands vanished instantly.

The next second, he went straight to Gu Chen's side.

He threw a punch at Gu Chen. Upon seeing this, Gu Chen hurriedly activated the Azure Dragon Phenomenon, activated the Xuan Iron Body, and his true essence surged out, attaching to his hands. Then he crossed his hands in front of him to block.

However, Tian Lie's punch was extremely powerful, sending Gu Chen flying backward and crashing into the stone steps beside him. A trickle of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, indicating that he had suffered a considerable injury.

If Gu Chen hadn't channeled his true essence into his hands at the crucial moment to defend himself, and hadn't also cultivated the Xuan Tie Body, which granted him formidable defensive capabilities...

He may be more seriously injured.

"Hmph!" Tian Lie sneered, "You sharp-tongued brat, you bully my Qingyun Sword Sect disciples and dare to distort the truth and tarnish the reputation of my Qingyun Sword Sect disciples."

"Today you injured my nephew, preventing him from cultivating for several months. This punch is a lesson for you!" He punched Gu Chen away, which could be considered as venting his anger for his nephew Liu Chen and his disciple Wu Fa.

If Gu Chen dares to insult his Qingyun Sword Sect in public, then he will insult Gu Chen in public.

In front of all the forces and people of Jiuwan City, Gu Chen was punched so hard that he coughed up blood and flew backward.

This humiliated Gu Chen.

Gu Chen stood up from the stone steps and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He immediately mobilized his Azure Dragon True Essence to heal his injuries.

The Azure Dragon True Essence contains the power of life, which can quickly repair his injuries. At most, his injuries will be suppressed in a short while.

at this time.

Feng Yuan, the city lord of Jiuwan City, Pi Kaikai, the commander of the Jiuwan City Guard, Fang Zhoujin, the head of the Supervision Department, and Shen Zhuang, the head of the Divine Garment Department, all arrived at his side instantly.

He looked at Tian Lie.

"You people of the Qingyun Sword Sect are truly audacious! In broad daylight, you dare to attack the chief of the Night Watch in my city! Are you plotting a rebellion?!" Feng Yuan roared angrily.

He truly hadn't expected that Tian Lie would be so bold as to directly attack Gu Chen, an official of the Night Watch.

Gu Chen's intervention to teach the Qingyun Sword Sect disciples a lesson was because the Qingyun Sword Sect disciples were at fault first.

Now he is resorting to bullying the weak to retaliate against the past.

He just wanted to vent his anger!

If he dares to treat Gu Chen like this today, what will happen if his Qingyun Sword Sect commits crimes in Jiuwan City and is caught and punished by them? Will he retaliate in the same way?

Although they were all seventh-rank officials in the Divine Dynasty, Tian Lie's actions showed that he didn't take them seriously.

Pi Kaikai coldly replied, "Qingyun Sword Sect, you've gone too far. If you don't give us an explanation today, this matter is far from over!"

Fang Zhoujin and Shen Zhuang also glared angrily at Tian Lie.

The meaning is the same as that of Feng Yuan and Pi Kaikai.

At this moment, Lin Fei and Liang Xiaoyun, along with a group of members of the Nine Bays City Night Watch, came up behind Gu Chen and glared angrily at Tian Lie.

These old fogies from the Qingyun Sword Sect are too arrogant. They actually dared to attack their director, bullying the weak with their superior strength.

If the younger ones can't beat you, the older ones have to step in, right?

Have they no shame at all?

Cheng Mengling and Wei Zhong, along with a group of people from the Cheng family stronghold, also arrived behind Gu Chen.

"Brother Gu, are you badly injured? Does it hurt?" she asked anxiously. "This is a healing medicine, please take it quickly."

Cheng Mengling took out a healing pill and handed it to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen took the pill, swallowed it directly, and replied, "It's nothing serious."

Seeing this, Liang Xiaoyun hurriedly checked her body and realized that she had not brought any healing pills.

Damn it, how could I be so careless? I never carried any healing pills with me, and I've completely missed this opportunity to get closer to the director.

Cheng Mengling got this good deal!
