Luo Chen slashed out with his sword, dispersing some of the surrounding clouds. Ignoring the pain on his back, he walked into the clouds.

Zhou Xuan'er watched Luo Chen's back as it gradually disappeared. She clenched her fist and slammed it into the ground. "Hmph. The repulsive Luo Chen doesn't know how to care for the fairer sex at all."

"Forget it, this guy's Thousand Shadow Sword really suits my heart. This time I'm just here to have fun. I'll just return to Tianyu City." Zhou Xuan'er clapped her hands and then stood up to leave.

Inside the pavilion, Han Qingxue watched as Luo Chen defeated Zhou Xuan'er in a matter of moments, her lips revealing a faint smile. This smile was like a blossoming peach flower, extremely beautiful!

… ….

In a cage not too far away from Luo Chen, Zhen Yuan was holding a large hammer the size of a wooden bucket with his eyes closed. The hammer was surrounded by colorful patterns. Clearly, it was very valuable. The tip of his nose twitched, and in the next moment, an evil smile appeared on his chubby face.

With a tap of his toes, he leapt two meters into the air and raised his sledgehammer high into the air!

Dong!

A loud sound rang out from the ground, and it was still trembling slightly. Zhen Yuan swung his hammer down, and under the hammer was an unconscious youth. He really was a pitiful child.

Zhen Fan's thumb twitched as he said, "Aiya, my friend, I'm sorry. Fatty, I hit you too hard. Don't be angry." Then he continued to quiver, looking for his next target.

Chen Yuntian, who just happened to see Zhen Fan, stroked his beard and laughed, "Interesting little fatty!" "What a beautiful hammer!"

Han Qingxue, who was standing to the side, followed Chen Yuntian's gaze. Her beautiful eyes landed on Zhen Fan. Her red lips slightly parted as she laughed, "That hammer strike of his is truly too exaggerated!"

… ….

On the south side of the square, Lu Ye held a square-faced teenager's neck with his right hand and then threw him onto the ground with a vicious look in his eyes.

"Pfft, two pieces of trash actually came to participate in the assessment just like that. I really wonder where they got the courage from!" Lu Ye spat on the youth he had thrown away. The youth was currently on the verge of death.

It had to be said that Lu Ye was very strong. He was just a step away from the perfect Yuan Dan stage. He was one of the strongest people in this exam.

His opponents were only at the middle stage of the Tempering Yuan Stage and late stage of the Tempering Yuan Stage. It wasn't that they were weak, but rather Lu Ye was strong and ruthless! In the eyes of Lu Ye, who trained in the "Godly Eye", the two's every move was extremely clear. Moreover, he had fiercely vented his hatred towards Luo Chen and Han Qingru on the two teenagers.

However, after his victory, Lu Ye's hatred did not decrease in the slightest. He now hoped that Luo Chen and Han Qingru would pass the first round of the examination. This way, he would have the opportunity to personally brutally suppress them and dispel the hatred in his heart!

… ….

Luo Chen did not know that Lu Ye had already won. Now, he closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, trying his best to recover his condition!

Firstly, his battle with Zhou Xuan'er had consumed a great deal of energy. The second opponent of the two was in an unknown state, and if the clouds and mist did not affect him, then the situation Luo Chen was facing would be very bad.

However, luckily, the other opponent was a young sword artist at the middle stage of the Tempering Yuan Stage. He didn't see through the method to break through the cloud!

However, when Luo Chen's Yuan Qi had recovered to 80%, a dozen golden sword Qis came slashing towards him. Luo Chen immediately opened his eyes and quickly brandished his sword.

Luo Chen's clear eyes looked at an arrogant youth dressed in black robes. The golden sword in his hand glittered brightly.

When the youth saw Luo Chen, his expression became slightly surprised before returning to his proud and aloof appearance. He was a bit surprised that his opponent was also a swordsman. However, so what? He had absolute confidence in his sword! His sword was sharp and invincible!

The moment their gazes met, the proud and aloof youth was the first to make a move. He swiftly unsheathed his sword, his speed so fast that one could see sword shadows. He stepped forward and swiftly slashed vertically at Luo Chen!

Luo Chen's reaction was very fast. Under the state of One with the Sword and Man, he instantly blocked Luo Chen's sword, and then slashed horizontally towards his chest. His opponent was also very experienced, so he tilted his sword to block Luo Chen!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

In just a dozen breaths of time, the two of them exchanged 300 moves. Sword light flew in all directions, and sparks flew in all directions. The speed of their swords and strength were similar, almost three times that of someone of the same age. The surrounding fog could not keep up with the speed of their swords!

The proud and aloof youth was surprised that Luo Chen was able to keep up with his sword speed and strength. Then, what about his speed?

Then, the proud and aloof youth immediately sped up with his feet. His speed was extremely fast, like a bolt of lightning, leaving behind an afterimage.

"Hua!"

Suddenly, Luo Chen's left arm was struck by a sword, causing him to bleed profusely. Luo Chen had not expected his opponent to increase his speed. Even though he had been struck by the sword, he did not panic.

Following that, Luo Chen also sped up. His speed was not slower than his opponent at all. The proud and aloof youth was shocked.

"How could this be? His speed was the speed of someone who had tempered his legs with Essence Qi! How can he keep up? " The proud and aloof youth's heart was in turmoil.

Luo Chen calmly analyzed that his opponent was twice as fast as him. However, he had prepared his "Void Floating Sword" in order to deal with a strong opponent!

The so-called nothingness was to prevent the opponent from seeing one's sword and getting injured. It was as if the opponent had created something from nothing. That was the speed of the sword! Even if one's own speed was to reach the limit, in addition to the sword being ethereal, untraceable, the enemy would be at a loss, ultimately obtaining victory!

Therefore, Luo Chen had worked hard when he was training. His speed was twice as fast as it usually was!

After having the same speed, Luo Chen and the proud youth exchanged over a hundred moves. Both of their strikes were very tricky, but they could not do anything to each other. It could be said that they were evenly matched!

The proud and aloof youth had practiced the sword longer than Luo Chen, and he had more combat experience. However, Luo Chen was in the state of being one with the sword, so he was even more experienced than Luo Chen!

Just when the proud and aloof youth felt that the two of them were at a stalemate and unable to determine victory or defeat, Luo Chen became even more familiar with his Void Floating Sword and even made a bold attempt!

Origin energy slowly rushed to Luo Chen's feet. In that instant, Luo Chen's speed increased by three times his usual speed!

Luo Chen's movements were erratic and his sword strikes were strange. The proud and aloof youth accidentally struck three times, with his left arm, back, and right leg.

The proud and aloof youth could only passively defend! However, Luo Chen's three strikes had humiliated him! How could he be hurt by someone who was at a lower level than him?

He had also been injured to the point of erupting in true fire. He gripped his sword with his right hand, and golden origin energy began rushing towards the sword blade in an unending stream!

"Gold Essence Sword!" "Mysterious Sky Slash!"

About 800 golden beams of sword qi quickly formed into a huge golden sword that slashed downwards vertically with golden light!

Seeing this, Luo Chen did not flinch at all! "Thousand Shadow Sword!" He brandished the transparent greatsword formed from a thousand sword beams to clash with it!

Clang!

The sound of the violent collision was deafening. A massive storm of sword energy was formed from the point of impact and was spreading towards the two of them!

The wind howled, blowing their long hair and clothes noisily.

Their gazes met once again, like sharp needles clashing.

"Gold Yuan Sword, Golden Flash!"

The proud and aloof youth attacked again, only to see the golden sword in his hand, Yu Fa, bright and dazzling, causing Luo Chen to be unable to open his eyes.

Suddenly, his speed became as fast as lightning, and the sword in his hand slashed out a golden lightning that pierced toward Luo Chen's heart!

The corners of the proud and aloof youth's lips curled up, as if he felt that his victory was in sight! This was because his attack was very sudden and caught him by surprise.

However, the proud and aloof young man ignored the fact that Luo Chen was faster than him!

Before the tip of his sword could reach Luo Chen, he disappeared in the blink of an eye. A sword quickly slashed three times across his right arm, each slash so deep that the bones were visible. The young man was in so much pain that the sword in his hand slipped out of his grasp. Luo Chen's sword was pressed against his chest.

"I lost? "How did you do it?" The proud and aloof youth was not sad because he had lost. He wanted to know how Luo Chen would dodge his sword and how he would be able to counterattack.

"I have a sword, its name is the Void Floating Sword. Your sword strike is so fast that my eyes can't see it, but your footsteps are still audible. "So …" The proud and aloof youth stretched out his hand to stop Luo Chen.

"I see." The proud and aloof youth silently turned around and left. His back was somewhat lonely.

Whoosh!

Luo Chen let out a long sigh of relief. At this moment, he was enduring an intense pain in his foot. When the proud and aloof youth had completely disappeared, he immediately sat down on the ground and quickly smeared the "Hundred Flavors Muscle Liquid" on his feet.

This victory had been obtained by Luo Chen forcefully tempering his Yuan power. If another fight were to occur, Luo Chen would not be able to stand up again for a short period of time.

However, Luo Chen's heart was at ease. With a smile on his handsome face, he had at least passed the first round of the examination. Through these two battles, he knew that his opponents were all powerful geniuses. Everyone had their advantages, and he had to treat them seriously!

Seeing Luo Chen's victory, Han Qingxue, who was in the elegant pavilion, let out a light sigh of relief. Her beautiful eyes revealed a satisfied and sweet smile.

While Luo Chen and the proud, aloof youth were fighting, Zhen Fan had defeated his opponent with a few blows. His strength was tremendous, like a humanoid elephant, and he had beaten his opponent to the point where he had no way to fight back.

… ….

Time flowed on like flowing water. In the blink of an eye, four hours had passed. The five Elders then performed an incantation gesture, and the clouds and mist in the square dissipated. Ye Lingtian had long disappeared. One of the five elders, an old man with a round face and a stern expression, said, "The young geniuses who won today are here to register themselves. They should also be here tomorrow to take the test." With that, the five elders disappeared.

The proud losers left the square with reluctance, anger, and calmness. The remaining five thousand proud losers walked happily to the registration point.

After resting for an hour, Luo Chen's feet had already scabbed over. He stood up with difficulty and moved about limply.

When the clouds dispersed, Zhen Fan looked around at Luo Chen. He quickly ran in front of Luo Chen and helped him register.

"It seems that you have a tough time winning. Unlike this genius, you will be able to finish your opponent off in two or three moves." Zhen Fan praised himself.

"This is only the first round, don't be careless! I wonder what the second round will be like. " Luo Chen said with a serious expression.
