247: C247 The same combat power

C247 The same combat power

Chu Chen did not hesitate, following that, he used the second sword strike.

The quality of the results was directly linked to the speed.

With a rumbling sound, the entire sword stone completely exploded. Rocks flew into the air, and dust rolled about.

At the same time, the other sword stone also teleported in a flash, wanting to pinch Chu Chen to pieces. If it did not dodge, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Black Sword!"

Chu Chen bellowed, holding onto the Black Sword with both of his hands, he slashed horizontally across the sky.

One sword, Ling Tian, split the mountain and broke the river. Under the control of the vast elemental energy, the Black Sword unleashed its terrifying power.

The sword stone that couldn't even be touched with a fist, was directly split apart under the Black Sword, and rubble flew everywhere.

"Black Sword, so tyrannical!" Chu Chen could not help but be shocked.

Ever since he had obtained this sword, he had not used it many times, and there were very few people who could force him to use it.

Of course, the reason why he did not use it was because it was too heavy and could not be used as he wished. Only after his ten meridians had been completed and his strength had reached the peak, would he be able to freely use the Black Sword.

However, other than its weight and texture, the sword seemed to have no other advantages. Therefore, in this moment of life and death, Chu Chen had not used the sword a few times.

"Hu hu hu hu!"

When the ordinary sword was unleashed, it released a sharp sword qi that was like electricity, but when Black Sword was used, it's body was heavy and it had the power to break through the heavens. The sound of the sword, was simply too domineering and extraordinary.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

For a moment, the sword stones shattered one after another, and this entire place was covered in smoke and dust from Chu Chen's attacks.

There were a total of nine sword stones, and in a short period of time, they were split open by Chu Chen's sword.

Until he had completely left the Sword Stone Forest, his mind had immediately become dizzy. This also signified that he had successfully passed the eighth level of the Blood Purgatory!

Next, it all depended on the final result.

In the outside world, a large group of disciples was gathered around the array stage, with eyes filled with anticipation. Ever since Chu Chen started clearing the stage, they had been paying attention to him.

Waiting for a moment, Chu Chen suddenly appeared from the array platform.

Just like the numerous disciples, the black-robed elder was also waiting. Although his face did not show any expression, his heart still carried a trace of anxiety. He was thinking if Chu Chen could surpass Zuo Wudao, and after repeated calculations, his heart was suffering more and more.

"An elder of mine, how could he be so excited?" He couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

Under the anticipation of countless people, a figure slowly appeared on the formation platform.

"Look, Chu Chen is out!" A disciple shouted.

"He came out so quickly. So fast." The crowd immediately became alert, and looked at Chu Chen with their eyes filled with surprise.

This speed was extremely fast, surpassing everyone's expectations. The level of danger in Blood Purgatory was known to all disciples that they had passed, and there was an odd kind of danger within, which was difficult to defend against.

However, for Chu Chen to rush out of the eighth floor so quickly, many people inferred that there was a high chance of him winning a battle with Zuo Wudao, and perhaps even surpassing him.

"This kid is so fast." The black-robed Elder was also slightly surprised.

He had a rough idea of Zuo Wudao's passing speed. After secretly comparing it for a bit, he realized that it was actually not too far off.

"Elder, may I ask how strong my fighting strength is?" When Chu Chen just came out, he asked impatiently.

"Wait, I'll help you take a look now."

After the black-robed Elder finished speaking, he walked in front of the crystal pillar and chanted a spell.

"Open!"

After the indifferent voice came out, countless people's gazes turned towards the crystal pillar.

A circle of light quickly rose up and quickly broke through the first square, reaching the peak of the Red Iron rank.

This was definitely not the end. After all, Chu Chen had passed the eighth floor.

It depends on which stage of the Silver rank he is at now, beginner, intermediate, or peak level.

"If I had used the Black Sword from the very beginning instead of testing it with my fist, I would have broken through the eighth level even faster." Chu Chen silently thought, his eyes similarly staring without blinking.

The place suddenly became quiet from the discussions. Only numerous gazes were gathered on the crystal pillar. They did not even dare to breathe heavily.

The light engravings continued to rise, and very quickly broke through the Bronze rank, finally reaching the third grid.

"Increase, increase, increase!"

Fang Qu and the other two tightly clenched their fists as they muttered to themselves nonstop. They cared even more than Chu Chen himself.

"Beginner level!"

"Mid Rank!"

Very quickly, under the frozen atmosphere, the light inscriptions finally stopped. However, upon seeing this scene, many people opened their mouths wide, revealing looks of surprise.

The black-robed elder also had a weird expression on his face as he looked at Chu Chen. Even he did not expect such a situation to occur.

"Combat power, Silver rank pinnacle."

Chu Chen was startled, unexpectedly, he had the same fighting strength as Zuo Wudao.

"What a coincidence, the Mountain and River List are ranked first, and the Blood Purgatory challenge is tied. The group of disciples couldn't help but say, this way, it seemed even more interesting.

"With the same battle strength, is he still going to challenge the peak of Silver rank?" The black-robed elder asked as he studied the expression on Chu Chen's face.

There's no need to keep fighting. Today, I only heard that he was ranked first in terms of Blood Purgatory, so I'm curious about it and came to try. The results are about the same, my battle strength is the same and even though I can't surpass it, it's still enough for me to recognize my own level. Chu Chen shook his head and said, he was not planning to try anymore.

Even though he viewed Zuo Wudao as a strong opponent, there was not a single trace of grudge or grievance between the two. Coming here today to challenge the Blood Purgatory, it was not because he had to surpass the other party, but rather, to test how much combat strength he had so that he could compare with Zuo Wudao.

Now that he had an idea, there was no need to continue.

With his own strength, Chu Chen was confident that he could challenge the ninth floor. The premise was to use all of his trump cards, and if he did this, in the end, he would surpass Zuo Wudao. However, there wouldn't be any benefits to him, and this didn't mean that he was stronger than the other party.

Since he had kept his trump card, who knew if Zuo Wudao had kept his trump card? Or if Zuo Wudao had made a breakthrough in his cultivation, the purpose of breaking through the Blood Purgatory was only for the sake of training. If that was really the case, then he was the truly terrifying one, and now, if he revealed too much, just for the sake of breaking through one of Blood Purgatory, there was no meaning.

He thought that Chu Chen had come today with the intention of surpassing Zuo Wudao, and was of the same name as him, but he was not convinced in his heart. However, now that their fighting strengths were the same, he chose not to challenge Chu Chen again.

"There's still a few more months before the Martial Competition, and you and Zuo Wudao are currently the strongest disciples of the Outer Academy. The black-robed Elder silently said, his expression returning to normal.

"Elder is right. I also think the same way. However, I am looking forward to having such an opponent." Chu Chen smiled slightly, and then said his goodbyes to the black-robed elder.

The spectating disciples did not think that the result would be like this. They thought that they would be able to determine who was the strongest and who was the strongest, but Chu Chen did not challenge them anymore, and this suspense was destined to last until the day of the Martial Competition.

All the disciples of the outer court started to hope that more time would pass faster so that they could start the Martial Competition as soon as possible.1

"The Martial Competition and Zuo Wudao's battle is unavoidable, and once I enter the inner court, I will definitely win as well." Chu Chen said firmly.
