I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

Li Changge, carrying his sword, took the lead and entered the bronze passageway.

He's holding back a lot of energy right now.

Shen Tian had just been dominating the outside world, his Thunderous Heavenly Fire move was like a god descending to earth, stealing all the limelight.

As a renowned little sword immortal in the Dragon Kingdom, Li Changge felt aggrieved.

He had to find an opportunity to prove to the world that he could stand shoulder to shoulder with Shen Tian and was definitely not just a nobody there to make up the numbers.

The two continued deeper into the passageway.

As they continued forward, the sword intent permeating the surrounding air grew increasingly intense.

It was an extremely pure, ancient sword intent that could even cut through human skin.

With each breath, Li Changge felt as if countless tiny knives were cutting his throat.

But instead of being afraid, he became very energetic, his eyes shining brightly.

"Brother Shen, you can't go wrong!"

As Li Changge walked, he spoke with certainty.

"With such an intense and unyielding sword intent, there must be the legacy of an ancient sword master deep within this passageway!"

It took a full fifteen minutes to walk.

The view ahead suddenly opened up.

The two walked out of the passageway and arrived at a vast underground sword court.

This is an underground palace entirely constructed from some unknown ancient crystal.

The ground was spotless, without any of the disgusting traces of the void matter that had contaminated the outside.

In the very center of the Sword Court stands a bronze sword gate that is a hundred meters high!

Above the sword gate, nine lifelike ancient sword dragons are carved.

Each sword dragon exuded a terrifying aura, as if it might rise from the bronze gate at any moment.

Directly in front of Jianmen, there is a three-meter-high white jade platform.

In the center of the stone platform, an ancient-looking, unsharpened, blunt heavy sword is stuck upside down.

Several strands of mysterious golden runes were wrapped around the hilt of the sword, exuding an aura of ancient vicissitudes.

Li Changge quickly stepped forward.

Next to the white jade platform, he discovered an ancient stone tablet as tall as a person.

Li Changge quickly glanced at the ancient characters on the stone tablet and gasped sharply.

Then, his eyes became incredibly fervent!

"Brother Shen, this is an incredible stroke of luck!"

Li Changge turned her head, her voice trembling.

Shen Tian strolled over with his hands in his pockets, casually asking, "What do you mean?"

Li Changge pointed at the stone tablet, his fingertips trembling.

"Li has some knowledge of ancient Chinese characters."

"The inscription on this stele says that behind this bronze gate lies the supreme mantle of an ancient sword-wielding deity!"

"As long as you can grasp that blunt, heavy sword and infuse your own swordsmanship talent into it."

"The one who can make that sword resonate and illuminate all nine sword dragons on the gate can push open the sword gate and obtain the astonishing inheritance within!"

Li Changge took a deep breath.

He quickly sheathed his longsword.

Then, he vigorously patted the black ash off his clothes and reached out to tidy up his hair, which had been scorched by the thunder and fire storm.

Although he looked a bit disheveled, he still tried his best to straighten his back and put on the air of a lofty and unparalleled sword immortal.

Li Changge turned around and looked at Shen Tian.

"Brother Shen."

Li Changge spoke earnestly, his tone revealing an undisguised pride and elation.

"Your Thunderous Fire attack while you were killing monsters outside was truly powerful and unparalleled. Thank you for your hard work."

"but!"

Li Changge abruptly changed the subject, proudly raising her chin.

"This place of inheritance is not a test of who has the strongest fist, nor of who has the deepest foundation!"

"Here, pure swordsmanship talent is tested!"

"It's about understanding the sword! It's about being dedicated to the sword!"

Li Changge patted his chest hard, making a loud thud.

"I'm not bragging, bro."

"When it comes to fighting, I, Li Changge, am completely outmatched by you."

"But as for his talent in swordsmanship..."

Li Changge paused, then his eyes flashed with an extremely dazzling light of confidence.

"Looking at the entire Dragon Kingdom, and even the younger generation of all humanity, if I say I'm second, no one dares to say they're first!"

He is the chief disciple of Longjing Taoist Academy!

Born with a natural talent for swordsmanship, he mastered the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One technique in his early twenties!

Just now, he even killed a peak seventh-tier monster outside, and absorbed a wisp of the original sword intent of the ancient broken sword!

This restriction test is practically tailor-made for Li Changge!

Shen Tian couldn't help but laugh when he saw Li Changge's smug and arrogant demeanor.

He took half a step back and made a "please" gesture in a very cooperative manner.

"Brother Changge, please proceed."

"I'm eager to see for myself the prowess of our Dragon Kingdom's Number One Little Sword Immortal."

Shen Tian's gentleness and humility pleased Li Changge greatly.

He was secretly overjoyed.

The pride that had just been brutally crushed by Shen Tian finally stood up again at this moment.

In these ruins, you really have to see my special skills, Li Changge!

"No problem!"

Li Changge burst into laughter.

With a flick of his sleeve, he strode confidently and arrogantly onto the white jade platform.

Standing before that blunt, heavy sword.

The smile on Li Changge's face vanished instantly, and his expression became extremely solemn.

He took a deep breath.

Om-!

A sharp sword intent, belonging to the mid-stage of the seventh rank, erupted from his body without reservation.

Suddenly, a fierce wind swept through the entire Sword Court.

Illusory sword shadows swirled and danced around Li Changge.

The special effects are instantly maxed out, giving it a very high-class feel.

"Sword rise!"

Li Changge shouted, and his right hand shot out like lightning, gripping the hilt of the bladeless heavy sword tightly.

boom!

The golden runes on the sword hilt were instantly activated, bursting forth with dazzling light.

The massive sword energy surged wildly along the heavy sword towards the bronze sword gate opposite.

Awooo—!

It was accompanied by a deafening ancient dragon roar.

The sword dragon at the very bottom of the bronze gate instantly lit up with a dazzling silver light!

Then, a second Stegosaurus!

The third Stegosaurus!

The lights came on extremely quickly, almost unstoppable.

Li Changge was overjoyed.

Steady!

Indeed, I, Li Changge, am a swordsmanship prodigy unparalleled throughout the ages!

This ancient heritage is now mine!

Article 4... Article 5... Article 6!

A series of bursts of light erupted, illuminating the entire underground sword court as bright as day.

Li Changge's face was flushed, and he felt completely comfortable.

Cool!

That was fucking awesome!

He couldn't help but glance at Shen Tian out of the corner of his eye, wanting to see the other's shocked expression.

Article 7... Article 8!

When the eighth Stegosaurus lights up.

The hundred-meter-high bronze gate began to tremble slightly, emitting a muffled rumble, as if it might burst open to the sides at any moment.

Only one left!

"Open it!"

Li Changge roared angrily.

He exerted all his strength, along with the trace of ancient sword intent he had just grasped, violently pouring it into the heavy sword through his arm.

The tail of the ninth Stegosaurus began to slowly light up.

One-tenth.

Five out of ten.

Nine out of ten.

The light spread upwards, and it was about to completely illuminate the final dragon head.

Li Changge had even planned out his stance when he pushed open the door.

One must remain calm and composed, always carefree and at ease.

however.

Just as the ninth Stegosaurus's light reached 99% of its full brightness, and it was only a hair's breadth away from the dragon's head...

The light suddenly stopped.

It was stuck there, completely blocked.

No matter how hard Li Changge held his breath or how frantically he channeled his sword intent, the last bit of the dragon head remained stubbornly unlit, as if it had been welded shut.
