"Junior Brother Qi, why are you here so...late?" When Mo Xixi saw the person coming, she smiled at first, then became a little hesitant, "I always feel like there is something different about you."
Luo Mu also joined in, then shivered and said: "Why are you so cold, like an ice cube!"
Qi Mingchen's expression was light, perhaps because of the effect of the Xueling Mirror-Breaking Pill, his mood also became much lighter.
"It's getting late, it's time for the last competition."
He doesn't want to expose the fact that he has still broken through to the late stage of the core formation for the time being. There will be a final competition in the future with good rewards. This kind of cultivation can be used as a trump card.
Now, with his strength, everyone in the pill formation should be able to fight. Even if he is at the peak of the pill formation, if he uses the power of his soul and releases his spiritual power, he will not necessarily be at a disadvantage.
What's more, his spiritual power is rich in characteristics that bring fear to people, so he naturally has a certain suppressive effect on the enemy, which makes him even more confident.
Just after he broke through, the cold air around him had not dissipated, because by the time he finished breaking through, the bell had already rung, and he was almost too late.
So I only had time to finish my work and hurried here.
As expected, others discovered what was going on with him.
"Okay, this is the last chance, everyone must work hard!"
Luo Mu stepped forward to encourage everyone, "I will definitely work hard to understand this time. I will break through immediately. I will try my best to rank in the top twenty-three this time!"
Huo Mian said with a smile: "I have broken through the sixth level of pill formation. When I go back, I should be able to become an inner disciple!"
"Then you have to find a suitable master, otherwise you will be at the bottom of the inner sect." Li Ming said disdainfully.
But Huo Mian obviously didn't care, "Anyway, as long as I make progress, there will be elders who will recognize me!"
While everyone was talking and laughing, the last secret realm competition began.
Everyone entered the secret realm one by one. Although they were all in an orderly manner, the pace was obviously accelerated a lot. No one wanted to fall behind and delay their ranking.
Qi Mingchen's ranking is twenty-three, and he can enter the secret realm first.
And because of this ranking, he also fell into the eyes of some caring people.
…
"Are these two disciples from a third-class sect who are among the top twenty-three?"
There was an old man in the distance looking at the long queue and stroking his beard.
"Yes, Master. One of them, Guang Yuan, an inner disciple of the Meteor Sect, is at the eighth level of the Core Formation. Last week, the formation sensed that he had broken through to the ninth level of the Core Formation. He is ranked 19th in the Secret Realm."
The young man with a steady temperament next to the old man, holding a notebook, responded respectfully.
"Yes, yes, the Meteor Sect is under the name of our sword pavilion. They are really talented in swordsmanship. After joining the sword pavilion, we can focus on cultivating them!" The old man smiled with a smile on his face. He was obviously very interested in discovering talents who could be developed within the sword pavilion's sphere of influence. Satisfied, "What about the other one?"
After the old man asked, he found that the people next to him fell silent. He turned around and saw that his disciple was looking at his book in confusion, not knowing how to speak.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the other person?" The old man frowned and exuded a strong aura. The disciple beside him turned pale in fright and quickly replied:
"No, Master, this person ranked among the top twenty-three is an outer disciple of the Canglong Sect."
The old man put away his momentum and showed an expression of interest, "Outer disciple? His cultivation is not high enough to be ranked as high as this, which means he is quite talented. If his cultivation is not enough, he will not be able to enter a deeper position. He can get so many points. A few, it is possible to comprehend high-level sword intent from a distance, such a person must be included in the sect!"
"But Master..." The young man hesitated for a moment and continued: "When he first came to the sect, his first ranking was one thousand three hundred and fifty, his second ranking was three hundred and twenty, and this time he reached Twenty-three people have been trained, and their cultivation is also growing very fast. When I first came here, my cultivation was still at the fifth level of pill formation, but in the first week of practice, I absorbed a lot of spiritual power from the outer formation and broke through to the sixth level of pill formation!"
"The ranking is understandable. Maybe he has enlightened himself, and his cultivation may be just stuck at the bottleneck. It's nothing special." The old man picked up the tea with a smile and took a sip. "But it's rare to have such a talent. We must focus on training in the future!”
"Master, in the third week of practice, he broke through to the late stage of pill formation."
Click!
There were cracks in the tea cup in the old man's hand, and he looked at the disciple suddenly, "Are you sure you're right?"
The young man nodded affirmatively, "Master, our formation has never made a mistake. Although it is impossible to record his specific practice, his perception of spiritual power has never made a mistake!"
The old man stood up excitedly and asked, "What's his name?"
"Qi Mingchen, sixteen years old."
…
The secret realm was still deserted. When he first appeared here, the Sword King Soul couldn't wait to appear and said: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, why are you here so late!"
Qi Mingchen smiled and said helplessly: "You also know the opening time of the secret realm, and there is nothing I can do about it."
"I know..." The Sword King Soul came over nervously and floated next to him. He said nothing more, but he could feel that it was expecting something.
"This is the last ranking." Qi Mingchen stepped deep into the sword tomb, feeling the spiritual power of the sword, passing through a sword, and came to the junction of the acquired stage and the pill formation stage.
"Don't go in hard, you'll get hurt!" Before Sword King Soul could stop him, he saw that he had already stepped into it.
Qi Mingchen's strength has been enhanced after his breakthrough, and even the first light between his eyebrows has been enhanced a lot.
It can even be said that a large amount of spiritual power was absorbed by this golden energy.
The concentration of the first light should have reached around the fourth level of innate. You should be able to take advantage of them and use all the first light to instantly kill people in the early innate stage, but you still can't fight directly.
At this time, the underworld ghost appeared. It glanced in front of Sword King Hun, making him tremble with fright. "Master underworld ghost, you are here too..."
[When that guy comes, I will come. 】
"What's the matter, Lord Ghost?" Sword King Hun asked cautiously.
[He is not anxious about the contract, I am, so I ask you directly, have you thought about the contract? 】
The Sword King Soul was stunned for a moment, and the energy ball shook up and down, "Of course I have thought about it!"
[Then what’s the answer? 】
"I want a contract, and I want to be good friends with him forever!"
Ming Gui shook his energy with satisfaction, then floated to the stunned Qi Mingchen and said:
[Okay, don’t worry about rankings, come and make a contract quickly. 】
He also didn't expect that he wasn't ready yet. He wanted to understand that Jianyi was talking about the contract for a while, but he didn't expect that this guy actually asked him directly!
Having no other choice, he asked seriously: "Ajian, have you really made your decision?"
"I've been thinking about it for a week. I didn't think it was a big deal being in the secret realm all the time, but after I got to know you, it's so boring when you're not around!"
Sword King Hun's tone was low, "I know that with my status I shouldn't make such a decision, but you are different. You are the only one who respects me, even if my previous master never treated me like this."
Finally, it said firmly: "So I want to go outside with you and have a look. You will not hurt me!"
[Okay, stop being sensational. Use your sword to make a wound in your palm, and add a little bit of that golden energy into your blood. It will know that you are a big deal. 】
I don’t know since when, Ming Gui’s attitude towards him has changed. He has become a lot more enthusiastic. He is not as guarded against him as before. At the same time, he is also sincerely considering his strength. At times like this, he is indeed Think about him.
There was no time to think too much now. According to the ghost, he used the black iron sword to cut the palm of his hand, and the blood flowed out instantly. At the same time, he used the power of his soul to control the first light to blend into the blood.
The Sword King Soul didn't hesitate when he saw this. He immediately floated over and carefully wrapped his palm, absorbing all the blood that flowed out.
"This is... this is..." The red light of Sword King Soul became brighter, and he was interrupted by the ghost just as he was about to say something.
[That’s what you think, but just know it and don’t say it. 】
Sword King Soul seemed to have thought of something and said nothing. A ray of red energy fell on Qi Mingchen's palm and turned into a light red symbol.
"What is this?" he asked, looking at the spiral symbol on his palm.
"This is a contract. Although it is a contract to recognize the master, we will be friends from now on." Sword King Soul's tone was much cheerful, and then it rushed into the black iron sword that he had not put away.
The originally mutilated sword began to gradually recover, emitting a crimson light.
Patterns representing a first-level magic weapon appeared on the blade, which meant that he already had a complete magic weapon in his hand.
"I'm really wronging you here." He sighed.
"No grievance, I don't want to be high-profile. As long as I can go out and play, I will be happy!" The Sword King Soul ran out and turned into a human form. It looked like a little girl, but it was made of red energy and its whole body was transparent. .
"You look like this..." Qi Mingchen was completely unable to match the image in front of him with the King of Swords.
"I didn't look like this originally. It's mainly because it saves energy, so I used this look!" Sword King Soul turned in a circle, and the dress above it also curved.
[Don’t believe it, it’s just that it’s timid, so it likes to look like this. Now that we’ve made a contract, let’s think of a name. 】
"Name?" Qi Mingchen didn't expect this, "What was your original name?"
Sword King Soul shook his head, "I forgot what my previous name was. Since it was shattered, I have lost a lot of memories."
"Then...you and I should have the same last name, Qi Mo."
Perhaps this look made him feel like an older brother, so he suggested this.
"Okay, okay, my name will be Qi Mo from now on! Yeah!"
Qi Mo obviously liked his new name very much, as his whole body exuded vigorous sword intent, weakening the sword intent in the sword mound.
Then she thought of something and said, "By the way, you seem to have some kind of competition."
Qi Mingchen nodded.
"I will directly lead you to understand the deepest sword!"
