"Common language?" Zhou Tong curled his lip and said, "Little Ziyuan, it's been a long time since I've had a proper chat with anyone. Alright, we've met, and I have some things to attend to. Kid, I can tell you're here for the Sword Spirit. Be careful of that Sword Addict; his aura is much sharper than yours."
Yang Zhen smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, senior!"
Zhou Tong clicked his tongue in amazement, shook his head, and muttered, "So conventional. The whole world is getting boring because of you conventional youngsters."
As he spoke, Zhou Tong's figure suddenly disappeared into mid-air.
Yang Zhen's eyes widened suddenly. If Nine Dragons's speed was too fast to be seen with the naked eye, then Zhou Tong's speed was practically teleportation. He disappeared from the spot without Yang Zhen even sensing his presence.
Just how many levels of power did it take to break through to achieve this speed?
Nine Dragons chuckled and looked at Yang Zhen, asking, "What, are you envious?"
Yang Zhen curled his lip and said, "Give me a few days, and I can reach that speed too."
The Heavenly Mountain Holy Lord glanced at Yang Zhen calmly and said, "You must remember what Senior Zhou said. The name of the Sword Addict is known to almost everyone in Central Court, especially among the younger generation. Countless people want to defeat him and take his place."
Yang Zhen nodded noncommittally and said, "That's true. What normal person would say something like that? They'd just be asking for trouble."
There really are people in this world who don't mind having a lot of trouble.
The Heavenly Mountain Holy Lord smiled and said, "There are troubles, but countless people want to defeat Luo Shan Yang. However... Luo Shan Yang's strength is growing stronger and stronger. Many of those who challenge him have developed Heart Demon and have never recovered."
"Is there no one who can beat that guy?" Yang Zhen asked curiously.
The Heavenly Mountain Holy Lord shook his head and said, "Among the younger generation, Luo Shan Yang is almost invincible!"
Yang Zhen patted Li Qingfeng on the shoulder and asked, "You can't beat him either?"
Li Qingfeng's expression froze for a moment, then he gave a soft hum and remained silent.
It was obvious from the expression on Li Qingfeng's face that he had also challenged Luo Shan Yang, but the result... well, at least he didn't manage to condense Heart Demon.
Yang Zhen looked at Fuyao beside her. Fuyao smiled, shook her head, and said, "I haven't competed with Luo Shan Yang, but I probably wouldn't be his match."
Yang Zhen became even more curious about Luo Shan Yang!
In mid-air, the Sword Intent filled the sky changed slightly at some point. Yang Zhen was stunned and looked up at the sky, and immediately gasped.
The boundless Sword Intent seemed to be drawn by some force, slowly condensing into longswords. These longswords did not have any sharp aura, and their shapes were strange, each one resembling a sharp spike, very thin and long.
Yang Zhen strange, and suddenly a gasp of surprise rippled through the crowd.
"It's Willow Heart Sword! It's actually Willow Heart Sword from Sword Addict! Could it be that Sword Addict has already established contact with the Sword Spirit?"
"They must have already established contact, and perhaps even gained the Sword Spirit's approval. This sky full of Sword Qi was emitted by the Sword Spirit, and now it has even taken the shape of the Willow Heart Sword. Doesn't that prove something?"
Hearing the surrounding chatter, Yang Zhen's expression turned strange. What these people were saying seemed to make a lot of sense. If the Sword Spirit hadn't recognized that so-called Sword Addict, would it have been able to condense the boundless, invisible Sword Qi into a sword shape?
And it's even in the shape of the Willow Heart Sword?
The Heavenly Mountain Holy Lord and Nine Dragons exchanged a glance, both seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes.
Yang Zhen shrugged. Well, that's good. He could head home now. The Sword Spirit had already accepted Luo Shan Yang. Something that only recognizes one master in its lifetime wouldn't get the Sword Spirit even if he chopped Luo Shan Yang up now.
Just then, Nine Dragons suddenly snorted and said, "Gaining the Sword Spirit's approval is easier said than done, but Luo Shan Yang does have some talent. Now we don't need to search everywhere anymore, let's go and take a look."
The Heavenly Mountain Holy Lord nodded and said with a smile, "Among the younger generation, it seems that only Luo Shan Yang has Swordsmanship skills so profound that they deserve our attention, and the Yaoguang Holy Son of Yaoguang Holy Land can barely be considered one as well."
Barely... can I be considered one?
Upon hearing this, Du Kang and Ma Huicao exchanged a glance and both gave a wry smile.
If the Yaoguang Holy Son can barely be counted as one, then even if the two of them rode on flying swords, they couldn't catch up to this height.
As for Fuyao and Li Qingfeng, they could probably be considered one as well, right?
Du Kang and Ma Huicao secretly glanced at Fuyao and Li Qingfeng, and sure enough, they saw solemn expressions on their faces.
Immediately, all four of them turned their gazes to Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen winked at the four of them, as if it were none of his business, and followed behind Nine Dragons with a curious look on his face, making everyone want to punch him!
Among the younger generation, Luo Shan Yang is undoubtedly the most likely to gain the Sword Spirit's approval, followed by Yaoguang Holy Son, then Fuyao and Li Qingfeng, and as for Yang Zhen...
Yang Zhen is indeed talented, but his personality is eccentric and his style of doing things is too unpredictable. No one can accurately predict what he can do or what he can't do.
If, as he boasted to the Holy Lord, he could capture ten Sword Spirit, then Luo Shan Yang is truly no match for him.
Li Qingfeng snorted and said, "This is a true test of Sword Dao talent. Whether Yang Zhen is good or not can be seen at a glance."
Fuyao nodded and said, "Not to mention Luo Shan Yang, even the Yaoguang Holy Son is probably much better than Yang Zhen in Sword Dao. I wonder what kind of sparks will fly when the three of them meet."
"A collision?" Li Qingfeng glanced at Yang Zhen and said meaningfully, "I wonder if Yang Zhen can catch the eye of the Yaoguang Holy Son!"
The implication was clear: given Yang Zhen's skill in Sword Dao, he certainly wouldn't be worthy of Luo Shan Yang's attention. As for the Yaoguang Holy Son, Li Qingfeng couldn't say for sure.
Fuyao was taken aback, then chuckled and shook her head, saying nothing more.
However, Li Qingfeng also touched on Fuyao's heart. As the most outstanding young disciple of the Yaoguang Holy Son Yaoguang Holy Land, according to various rumors, Yang Zhen might not be able to compare with him.
In fact, the group didn't need to deliberately search for Luo Shan Yang's whereabouts; they could simply head towards areas with many people.
With each person preoccupied with their own thoughts, the group soon arrived at the location of Luo Shan Yang and the others.
Fuyao and Li Qingfeng, in particular, spotted Luo Shan Yang sitting cross-legged almost immediately. His body was radiant with sword light, making him look dazzling.
At their next glance, the two saw the solemn- Yaoguang Holy Son Yao Guang standing to the side. Although not as dazzling as Luo Shan Yang, he was still one of the most radiant people present.
Compared to these two people, Yang Zhen... really doesn't have any redeeming qualities at all.
Even the gazes of the surrounding crowd were mostly focused on Fuyao and Li Qingfeng, while Yang Zhen, who was following behind Nine Dragons, was treated like a nobody, ignored by everyone.
Li Qingfeng's lips gradually curled up, finally finding a sense of presence.
In such a gathering of geniuses, Yang Zhen unknown status becomes all too clear.
Li Qingfeng, gradually raising his head, glanced at Yang Zhen, who was still full of curiosity, when he suddenly heard a scream that sounded like that of the Yaoguang Holy Son:
"Yang Yang Yang... Yang Zhen?"
Whoa--!
The moment the words were spoken, the entire hilltop erupted in excitement.
Li Qingfeng: "???"
Is Yang Zhen that famous?
