The First Volume of Shen Zhou's Great Land Chapter 100: Leaving a Name at Jian Ge (Part 2)

  Yang Dingjun walked out of the corridor, turned his head and swept his gaze over the faces of Xuan Tian and the other two, finally fixing his eyes on Xuan Tian, and said with a light smile: "Huang Tian, wait for me to stretch my neck out and slap you in the face, hahaha!"

  As loud laughter erupted, Yang Dingjun suddenly rushed into the corridor at an extremely fast speed.

  Whoosh!

  The first puppet swordsman swung his sword, its blade shining like a dazzling white light, slashing down at Yang Dingjun with a speed that was more than twice as fast as the first layer's puppet swordsman.

  With a clang, the dazzling sword tip suddenly flashed out. Yang Dingjun drew his sword and with one slash, he knocked away the long sword in the puppet swordsman's hand. His body paused for a moment before rushing into the deeper part of the passageway, arriving at the front of the two puppet swordsmen behind.

  "Nine Revolutions of Mysterious Yang, True Energy Explodes!"

  Yang Dingjun let out a loud roar, and the innate true energy within his body suddenly burst forth. His entire being was enveloped in a crimson glow, greatly increasing his strength.

  Clang Clang——!

  Clang!

  Three consecutive metallic collisions sounded, and in an instant, Yang Dingjun and two puppet swordsmen each exchanged a sword, then rushed through the passage quickly, and again exchanged a sword with the nearest puppet swordsman.

  Three loud sounds, but Yang Ding Jun did not retreat a single step. Soon, he broke through the second layer and reached the other side of the passage. The three puppet swordsmen all retreated back to their original positions.

  Although it was expected, when Yang Dingjun really broke through the second layer, Ma Zhenru's face couldn't help but become excited, saying: "Good, Yang Dingjun, since Chu Feng three years ago, you are the second person to break through the second layer of the Sword Pavilion as an inner disciple who has just entered the Xiantian realm. Your potential is enormous, and you will definitely achieve great things in the future."

  "Thank you, Elder Ma, for your praise. I will work hard and strive to reach the peak of the Innate Realm, and fight to break through to the Earthly Realm."

  Yang Dingjun's face was slightly pale, but his expression remained complacent as he looked at the three Xuantian with a gaze full of disdain.

  Ma Zhenru nodded in satisfaction and said: "Second, Bai Zhankui!"

  Bai Zhan He broke through the first puppet swordsman, but was blocked by the two puppet swordsmen behind him and fell into the siege of three puppet swordsmen. He was in a precarious situation, suffered some minor injuries, and finally Ma Zhen Ru entered the passage and rescued Bai Zhan He, failing to pass the level.

  However, Ma Zhenru was still satisfied with Bai Zhankong and said: "The cultivation of the first heaven can break through the first puppet swordsman, which is already very good. Many disciples who have entered the inner door for a year cannot do it, so don't be discouraged. The third one, Lin Wuying."

  Lin Wuying and Ma Tao were almost on the same level as the first layer, but they were directly blown out by the first puppet swordsman.

  As soon as he entered the Xiantian realm, he was able to break through to the second layer. Even if he failed, Ma Zhenru gave him encouragement, saying: "Lin Wuying's strength is still good, and in the future, he can become a top-notch expert in the same realm. Don't be discouraged." The fourth one was Huang Tian.

  It was Xuan Tian's turn. The eyes of Yang Ding Jun, Bai Zhan He and Lin Wu Ying fell on him simultaneously.

  Especially Bai Zhanhe and Lin Wuying, their eyes showed some anxiety, apparently worried that Xuantian might not pass the second layer. If he passed, he and Yang Dingjun would be tied, but if he didn't, he would lose and have to take a slap in the face.

  In their eyes, Yang Dingjun had already reached an invincible position. The third layer was not something that a martial artist of the First Heaven Realm could pass through. Those who could pass through the third layer in the First Heaven Realm were all legends of the Tianjian Sect, and they all successfully entered the Earth Stage realm, becoming the sect's strongest powerhouses.

  Xuantian walked with ease, arriving at the entrance of the passageway. He took a deep breath, bowed his body, and in the next second, Xuantian was like an arrow off the string, rapidly dashing forward along the right wall.

  In the blink of an eye, a swift movement of lifting his foot to the extreme, then one foot heavily stepped on the ground, making his speed even faster than the first layer, like a residual shadow.

  At the same time, three sword auras suddenly appeared in the passage. Xuan Tian once again had the three puppet swordsmen make their move at the same time.

  A marionette swordsman with congenital double middle-grade strength, as expected, moved much faster. This time, Xuan Tian easily bypassed the first marionette swordsman, but the sword auras of the two marionette swordsmen behind him almost simultaneously slashed in front of Xuan Tian.

  The Azure Sword is drawn.

  A flash of blue light suddenly appeared and instantly transformed into a blue sword.

  Two loud clangs, the long swords of the two puppet swordsmen were instantly knocked away. Xuan Tian's speed only paused for half a moment before surging forward again, reappearing on the other side of the passageway.

  "What? You've already broken through so quickly?" Bai Zhanhe and Lin Wuying's pupils constricted, Xuan Tian's performance had far exceeded the two's expectations.

  The two of them thought: "Yang Ding Jun is already twisted enough, this person is even more of a freak."

  "Could it be that he has cultivated the lower-grade Lightness Skill of the Mystic Stage to the realm of Great Perfection? Or perhaps he has cultivated the middle-grade Lightness Skill of the Mystic Stage? But with just one sword, he was able to dispel the attacks of two puppet swordsmen. This young man's strength is not inferior to that of Yang Dingjun!"

  Ma Zhenru's expression changed in an instant, her eyes fixed on Xuan Tian, and her attitude shifted greatly, elevating Xuan Tian to the same level as Yang Dingjun.

  "Haha, very good!!!!!!"

  Ma Zhenru laughed heartily and said: "For the first time, two disciples of the First Heaven Realm have appeared at the same time, breaking through the second layer of the Sword Pavilion. This is a grand occasion that has not been seen in our sect for twenty years! The future of our sect is in your hands, it will definitely shine brightly and become even stronger! Haha! Bai Zhanhe, Lin Wuying, you can leave the Sword Pavilion now and wait with Ma Tiao outside. I'll take these two to the third layer to experience it, we'll be back soon."

  Three people were delighted, but Yang Dingjun alone had a gloomy face, and it turned out to be a tie, losing a great opportunity to hit Xuan Tian. This was something that Yang Dingjun could not accept.

  Xuantian and Yang Dingjun followed Ma Zhenru to the third floor of Jian Ge.

  On the left wall of the third floor, there are more than a dozen names engraved, such as Lu Wu Zhou, Bai Li Tong, Zheng Tian Yi, Ling Yi Chen and so on. They were all famous figures in the Tianjian Sect.

  The name of the last person was Chu Feng.

  Ma Zhen said, "These are all figures in the history of our sect who have gone through the third layer of the Sword Gate and have been able to carve their names on the wall for eternity. They are all geniuses who appear only once every few decades or even centuries."

  Yang Dingjun looked at the names on the wall, and his eyes flashed with an extremely strong desire to compete, wanting to carve his own name on it, in the eternal circulation of the Tianjian Sect.

  Xuántiān then looked at Chǔ Fēng's name and secretly competed in his heart: "Since Chǔ Fēng can leave a name, I also cannot lose to him."

  In the Tianjian Sect, Xuantian's only opponent in his heart was Chu Feng alone. Yang Dingjun was not even considered by Xuantian.

  Ma Zhenru saw that both of them were very excited, and said: "Everyone wants to leave their name here forever, but in our sect, it's hard to produce one in decades. The third layer is not easy to break through when you're at the first level of Xiantian cultivation. Yang Dingjun, you go first."

  Yang Dingjun rushed into the passage with great enthusiasm, and the puppet swordsman slashed down with one sword. The speed was so fast that Yang Dingjun had no way to dodge, and he could only block it with a horizontal sword.

  Clang!

  A loud crash, Yang Dingjun's body was cut out of the passage by the puppet swordsmen like a cannonball, and after landing, he retreated four or five steps before sitting down on the ground with a thud, his eyes wide with shock.

  The third-layer puppet swordsman has a strength equivalent to the middle of the threefold Xiantian realm, which is definitely not something that Yang Dingjun can withstand.

  Ma Zhen said, "Yang Dingjun, you can pass the second layer, it's already a rare talent in our sect for many years. Those who left their names on the third layer are all the strongest ancestors of our sect. Don't compare with them, it doesn't count as anything, don't leave any psychological shadows."

  "Yes, Elder Ma!" Yang Dingjun stood up and said so with his mouth, but in his heart he was somewhat traumatized.

  However, Yang Dingjun looked at Xuan Tian and thought: I won't make it, you won't either, humph!

  Xuantian's lips slightly curled up, didn't even look at Yangding Jun, and Yangding Jun was ignored, which made him even more depressed.

  Ma Zhen said: "Huang Tian, you come and try!"

  Xuantian walked out of the passageway and this time he didn't use his lightness skill to rush up, but instead took a step into the passageway.

  Approaching the first puppet swordsman three meters ahead, a flash of light, a dazzling sword tip suddenly broke through the air, its speed faster than the second layer's puppet swordsman by more than double.

  "Chū Lán Jiàn" unsheathes, blue sword tip, following the momentum of the sword, vertical slash downwards.

  Clang!

  A loud bang.

  Ma Zhenru and Yang Dingjun's pupils suddenly contracted, actually blocking it?

  Xuantian retreated only one step, then the second sword attacked the puppet swordsman. The puppet swordsman took a step forward, and the dazzling sword tip once again chopped down at Xuantian's head with extreme speed.

  Xuantian led the puppet swordsman, step by step towards the outside of the passage. Just as Xuantian was about to exit the passage, his speed suddenly exploded, and he slashed out with one sword, flashing past the puppet swordsman and entering the passage.

  "Chu Lán Jiàn" blocked the puppet swordsman's long sword, Xuántiān kicked out with one foot, kicking the puppet swordsman to fall and land outside the corridor.

  Suddenly, Xuantian's speed surged and he charged towards the two puppet swordsmen inside.

  Yang Dingjun's eyes widened in shock, unable to believe that Xuan Tian actually had the strength to defeat the third-level puppet swordsman.

  Ma Zhenru was even more excited, muttering to himself: "Could it be that in just three years, our sect will produce another First Heaven Realm cultivator who has broken through the third layer? Chu Feng only broke through after reaching the peak of First Heaven Realm and attempting the Sword Pavilion for the second time. Huang Tian was still at the ninth rank of the Martial Dao Realm just three months ago, and now he's already entered the First Heaven Realm and registered not long ago?"

  Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong——!

  In the channel, sword lights shot out in all directions, and several loud noises rang out.

  When the puppet swordsman who was kicked to the ground by Xuan Tian got up and rushed into the passage, the sound had stopped. Xuan Tian had already broken through the blockade of two puppet swordsmen and reached the other side of the passage.

  Jian Ge third floor, passed!

  Yang Dingjun's brain was suddenly stunned, and a voice echoed in his mind: This is impossible! This is impossible!

  Ma Zhen's expression was extremely excited, his voice trembling with excitement, as he said: "Huang Tian, the third floor of Jian Ge, you can leave your name here forever!"

  Xuān Tiān walked back from the safe passage on the right, his expression calm and composed. He arrived at the wall where names were left and stood beside Chǔ Fēng, carving two words - Huáng Tiān.
