Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

Fang Yue's calmness and questioning surprised the four men in black in the room. They didn't expect that this stranger who suddenly broke in would be so calm and arrogant. He was really brave!

This is where the Champion Marquis secretly trains the Black Knights. It is related to the emperor's cause and must not be lost.

Therefore, anyone outsider who knows the secret here must die!

"Huh, you're so brave. Boy, surrender quickly, otherwise when we take action, you will die a miserable death!" The leading black knight sneered.

Facing the astonishment and threat from the man in black, Fang Yue raised the corner of his mouth into a faint smile, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

He slowly glanced around the room. Although the four men in black were wearing night clothes and their faces were hidden in the shadows, Fang Yue seemed to be able to see through them all and look directly into their souls.

"Humph, just the few of you?"

Fang Yue's voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable majesty: "If the Champion Marquis really had that ability, why would he hide his head and show his tail, and train you lackeys who are not allowed to see the light of day?"

The black-clothed men heard this and their faces suddenly changed. One of them shouted angrily, "How dare you insult the Champion Marquis, you daring lunatic! Today, you are walking into a trap and you will never leave here alive!"

Fang Yue chuckled, but did not move. He just shook his head. "Since I dared to come here, I am sure I can leave. However, before I leave, I want to see what is in the secret room below that is worthy of the four masters of you to guard."

Fang Yue's words made the faces of the men in black even gloomier. They did not expect that this intruder would be so arrogant. Not only was he not afraid of their threats, he also boasted that he wanted to explore the secret room below.

"You're looking for death!" The leading black knight shouted angrily, and swung the long sword in his hand suddenly, bringing up a sharp sword wind, heading straight for Fang Yue's vitals.

However, Fang Yue seemed to have seen through this attack. He dodged the sword with ease. At the same time, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if to say, "Is this your strength? How disappointing."

The men in black shouted angrily upon seeing this. They no longer held back and swung out four swords at the same time. The sword lights flashed and murderous aura filled the air, forming a sword formation of death that enveloped Fang Yue.

However, Fang Yue didn't seem to care. His figure shuttled through the sword light, and each dodge was just right, as if his body had merged into this space and become a part of it.

“Humph, you think you can keep me here with just a few Grandmasters like you?” Fang Yue chuckled. Although his voice was not loud, it was full of confidence. “Today, I will show you my strength!”

Before he finished speaking, Fang Yue's body suddenly stretched out, and he rushed towards the nearest man in black like a flash of lightning. The long sword in his hand brought up a sharp sword wind and suddenly collided with the long sword of the man in black.

Instantly, the sword flashed in the room, the sound of metal clashing rang in the ears, and a fierce fight began. However, Fang Yue seemed not to come just for the fight, his eyes were always paying attention to every corner of the room, trying to find the mechanism leading to the secret room.

He knew that this battle was only part of his exploration of the secrets. His real goal was the secret room below and the secrets hidden there.

In the fierce battle of swords, Fang Yue's fight with the men in black became more and more intense. While he flexibly responded to attacks from all directions, he used his sharp eyes to search for clues of possible hidden mechanisms.

"Hmph, who do you think you are? A mere outsider, and you want to pry into the secrets of the Champion Marquis?" a man in black shouted angrily. His sword moves became more and more ferocious, as if he wanted to intimidate Fang Yue in this way.

Fang Yue chuckled and tapped the tip of his sword, easily defusing the opponent's attack. "Me? I'm just a person who is curious about the truth. And you are just pawns in the hands of the Champion Marquis, unable to control even your own destiny."

"Shut up!" another man in black roared, his sword stabbing at Fang Yue like a venomous snake, "We serve the Champion Marquis, it is our honor! Don't you dare tarnish this loyalty!"

Fang Yue moved to one side, the sword flashing, dispelling the opponent's attacks one by one. "Glory? Hiding in this dark corner, guarding the secrets that cannot be revealed, this is what you call glory? How ridiculous."

The black-clothed men were angered by Fang Yue's words, and their attacks became more fierce, with sword lights weaving like a weave, almost covering Fang Yue's entire body. However, Fang Yue swam in the sword lights like a fish, and every dodge seemed so calm.

"You four are nothing special." Fang Yue's voice rang out amid the sword light, with a hint of sarcasm, "If the Champion Marquis is really so powerful, why would he let masters like you guard this secret? What is he afraid of?"

The black-clothed people's faces became even gloomier when they heard this. They knew that Fang Yue's words had hit their sore spot. They were indeed pawns in the hands of the Champion Marquis, sent to guard this secret, but they themselves did not even know what this secret was.

"You're looking for death!" The leading black knight shouted again, his sword flashing like a dragon, aiming straight at Fang Yue's head. However, Fang Yue had already seen through his attack, and dodged the attack easily with a flash of his body.

"Humph, you want to kill me? You're still a little naive." Fang Yue chuckled, and his eyes suddenly locked on a corner in the room. There was a candlestick that looked ordinary, but Fang Yue keenly noticed the subtle difference between it and the surrounding environment. He moved his mind, and his figure flashed suddenly, and he swung his sword and knocked down the candlestick.

The moment the candlestick fell to the ground, there was a sound of a mechanism turning in the house. A stone slab slowly rose up, revealing the passage leading to the secret room. The black-clothed people saw this and their faces changed drastically. They all wanted to stop Fang Yue from entering the secret room, but Fang Yue had already flashed and rushed to the entrance of the passage.

"Humph, you want to stop me? You are still too naive." Fang Yue's voice echoed in the passage, and his figure disappeared into the darkness. The men in black looked at each other in bewilderment. They knew that this stranger who suddenly broke in had broken the secret they had guarded for many years. And they were about to face an unknown fate.

Watching Fang Yue disappear into the secret room, the men in black looked at each other, not knowing what to do. They had never encountered such an arrogant and powerful intruder, and they had never thought that the secret they had guarded for so many years would be easily revealed by an outsider today.

"What should we do? Should we chase in?" one of the men in black asked in a panic.

The leading black knight had a gloomy expression. He tightly grasped the long sword in his hand, and after a moment of silence, he said coldly: "Chase! We must not let him leave this secret room alive, otherwise, the secret of the Champion Marquis will be exposed!"

As he spoke, he moved and rushed to the secret room first. Seeing this, the other three men in black followed him. They knew that this battle was no longer just about protecting secrets, but about their own survival.

In the secret room, Fang Yue's figure shuttled quickly in the darkness. With his keen intuition and extraordinary lightness, he easily avoided the various traps in the passage. His heart was full of anticipation and curiosity. What secrets were hidden in this secret room? Why did the Champion Marquis guard it so carefully?

As Fang Yue went deeper, the light in the secret room gradually became brighter. He saw a spacious room with a huge stone platform in the middle of the room. The stone platform was engraved with complicated runes and patterns. In the center of the stone platform, there was a jade box emitting a faint light.

Fang Yue's eyes were instantly attracted by the jade box. He could feel the mysterious atmosphere emanating from the jade box. He knew that the secret of the Champion Marquis must be hidden in this jade box.

Just as he was about to go forward to check the jade box, he suddenly heard the angry shouts of the men in black behind him. They chased after him with long swords in hand and murderous intent.

Fang Yue snorted coldly. He did not turn around to fight. Instead, he flashed and rushed directly to the stone platform.

His fingers lightly touched the jade box, and he immediately felt a warm power surging into his body.

"Humph, you want to stop me? You are not qualified!"

Fang Yue's voice echoed in the secret room, and he attacked again. This time, he no longer just dodged and defended, but took the initiative to attack, swinging his sword, the sword light woven like a weave, dispelling the attacks of the men in black one by one.

The men in black shouted angrily when they saw this. They knew that this battle had come to a life-and-death moment.

They all used their strongest sword moves, trying to kill Fang Yue here.

However, Fang Yue's strength was far beyond their imagination. His sword moves were sharp and accurate, and every attack hit the vital points of the men in black just right.

Soon, the men in black fell under his sword one after another.

When the last man in black fell, Fang Yue put away his sword and his eyes fell on the jade box again.

He knew that the secret hidden in this jade box would be the key to changing his destiny.

He took a deep breath and slowly opened the jade box...

At the same time, Champion Marquis Yang Chan had led his men to Zhu Linlang's hiding place. He rode a tall horse, followed by a team of elite black knights, all of whom looked solemn, holding long swords and on high alert. Yang Chan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he was full of determination and expectation for today's action.

"My lord, we are approaching Zhu Linlang's hiding place. Should we take action immediately?" A knight in black stepped forward and asked.

Yang Chan nodded slightly, with a sneer on his face: "Humph, this Zhu Linlang actually dared to betray me and hide my secret of being the Champion Marquis. Today, I will make her pay the price!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the black knights behind him took action. They quickly surrounded Zhu Linlang's hiding place and prepared to start a fierce battle.

But at this moment, a golden eagle swooped down from the sky and landed on the arm of Champion Hou Yang Chan.

The sudden arrival of the Golden Eagle made Champion Hou Yang Chan's expression instantly solemn. He untied the secret letter from the Golden Eagle's leg, read it quickly, and his face suddenly changed.

"What? Someone dared to break into my secret base!" Yang Chan shouted angrily, and the secret letter in his hand turned into powder in an instant. He looked up at Zhu Linlang's hiding place, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. But soon, he made a decision.

"Everyone listen up, change the plan immediately! Some people stay here to continue monitoring and arresting Zhu Linlang, and the rest of you follow me to the secret base. We must capture the intruder and never let him leave alive!"

Upon hearing this, the black knights all responded and took action.

Some people stayed where they were and continued to surround Zhu Linlang's hiding place, while the other group followed Champion Hou Yangchan and rushed to the secret base.

On the way to the secret base, Yang Chan's heart was filled with anger and anxiety.

He never thought that the secret he had guarded for so many years would be easily revealed by an outsider.

He must catch the intruder himself and find out how he knew the secret.

The black knights followed closely behind Yang Chan, and they could also feel the Marquis' anger and anxiety.

They knew that this secret base was of vital importance to the Marquis of Champion, but now it was broken into by an outsider, which was undoubtedly a huge provocation to the Marquis.

They all expressed that they must cut the intruder into pieces to vent their hatred.

Finally, they arrived at the entrance of the secret base.

Yang Chan and his group walked into the valley village located on the edge of the Shiwanda Mountains.

This village may look ordinary on the outside, but it hides his years of secrets and hard work.

Now, an outsider broke in, which made him feel extremely angry and anxious.

He gripped the sword tightly and led the black knights quickly through the village and headed straight for the entrance of the secret base.

Along the way, his eyes were cold, as if they could shoot out cold light and freeze all obstacles blocking his progress.

When they arrived at the entrance of the secret base, Yang Chan saw a stone door that had been forced open and the bodies of the black knights lying on the ground.

His face became even gloomier, and the anger in his heart burned even more vigorously.

He tightly grasped the long sword in his hand and shouted angrily: "He must not have gone far! Chase him!"

Upon hearing this, the black knights became excited and followed Yang Chan, rushing out of the base.

They quickly followed the trail left by Fang Yue, with a strong determination in their hearts to capture the intruder and vent their hatred.

Yang Chan hurried along the way, his heart filled with complicated emotions.

Angry, anxious, confused... He never thought that the secret he had guarded for so many years would be revealed so easily by an outsider.

Who is this intruder?
How did he know this secret?
These questions kept circling in Yang Chan's mind, and he was eager to find the intruder and get all the answers.

"The person who was able to kill four pseudo-grandmasters must be Fang Yue!"

In an instant, Yang Chan, the champion of Da Chu, understood.

If we talk about who is against him and has the ability to take over this matter, the only one who has recently come from the Wei Dynasty is Fang Yue! (End of this chapter)
