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

The deafening roar of the dragon abruptly ceased.

The slightly trembling bronze gate returned to its deathly silence.

Inside the Sword Court, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Li Changge remained frozen on the white jade platform, gripping his sword with both hands, gritting his teeth, and his face flushed red.

It's like a comical sculpture.

An extremely awkward atmosphere, indescribable in words, filled the air.

Li Changge's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

He stared intently at the tiny, unlit dragon head, his heart filled with turmoil.

What the hell!

Are you kidding me?!

Is it really just that tiny bit more?!

I am the chief of Longjing Dao Academy, and I am known as a peerless swordsman who is a rare talent in the Dragon Kingdom, appearing only once every few hundred years.

You can't even open a single door?!

Li Changge became anxious.

He bit his tongue hard, even using his life essence, in an attempt to forcefully break through that final barrier.

"Turn it on! You damn well better turn it on!"

Li Changge even stretched out his left hand and slapped the sword hilt twice.

Useless.

No matter what he did, the 99% light remained completely still.

Shen Tian, ​​who was not far away, watched this scene quietly.

Shen Tian touched his chin, his lips twitching slightly, clearly trying his best to suppress a laugh.

After a while, Li Changge was still there, sticking his butt out and struggling with the hilt of his sword.

Shen Tian cleared his throat, his tone still as gentle as ever.

"Brother Changge."

"Does this ancient formation need to be warmed up?"

Upon hearing Shen Tian's words, Li Changge's expression instantly became incredibly interesting.

It turns red for a while, then white for a while, then purple for a while.

It's worse than swallowing a hundred flies.

Shen Tian's calm and seemingly concerned inquiry was a million times more hurtful than being directly mocked!

I am so ashamed!

Li Changge suddenly released his hands and jumped off the white jade platform.

He pretended to rub his wrist, his eyes darting around, not daring to look Shen Tian in the eye.

"cough!"

Li Changge coughed heavily, trying to hide his extreme panic and embarrassment.

"Um... Brother Shen, you don't know this."

Li Changge swallowed hard and began to spout nonsense with a straight face.

"These things in the ancient ruins have been stored for tens of millions of years, after all."

"This building has been in disrepair for many years, and the internal array patterns are probably rusted and aged long ago."

"It was almost fully lit just now, then it jammed! Yes, it jammed!"

The more Li Changge spoke, the more sense it made, and her voice involuntarily grew louder.

"Plus, I was fighting those bone monsters outside just now, which really took a toll on my health."

"My hands are a bit weak right now. I wasn't in good form today, which seriously affected my performance."

To prove his point, Li Changge strode to the bronze gate and even kicked it hard.

"What broken restriction!"

"They abandoned a peerless swordsman like me, and now they're stuck at the crucial moment!"

"Serves you right for letting your lineage die out!"

Li Changge cursed as he withdrew his foot.

Then he turned his head and looked at Shen Tian expectantly.

Shen Tian nodded earnestly, agreeing in a very cooperative manner.

"Brother Changge is right."

"This gate is truly ungrateful, missing out on a peerless talent like Brother Changge."

Shen Tian's cooperation did not make Li Changge feel any better.

He was so embarrassed that he could practically dig a three-bedroom apartment out of the bronze floor with his toes.

Failing to show off is not a big deal.

What's scary is that right after he finished spouting some earth-shattering boasts, he immediately revealed his true colors in front of a formidable person like Shen Tian!

Li Changge stood with his hands on his hips, still cursing at the bronze gate.

"This ancient formation is definitely broken!"

"That sword intent I just unleashed contained the supreme Dao!"

"It's stuck! What a waste!"

Li Changge became more and more enthusiastic as he cursed, as if only in this way could he dispel the lingering embarrassment in his heart.

Shen Tian stood to the side, a smile playing on his lips.

He watched Li Changge's performance quietly without interrupting.

When Li Changge finally stopped to catch his breath after cursing until his mouth was dry.

Shen Tian then stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother Changge, there's no need to be so discouraged."

"After all, this is an antique from tens of millions of years ago, so it's normal for it to have some malfunctions."

Hearing Shen Tian offer her another way out, Li Changge was so moved she almost cried.

Check it out!

What does it mean to be a good teammate of the Dragon Kingdom?

Brother Shen is not only incredibly strong, but his emotional intelligence is also ridiculously high!

Li Changge sighed heavily, looking dejected as if a hero had no place to use his talents.

"Alas, what a pity for the ancient swordsmanship heritage behind this door."

"Now that the formation is damaged, even a swordsmanship prodigy like myself, who is one in a million, is powerless to help."

Li Changge shook his head, his face full of regret.

"Brother Shen, it seems we'll have to go back empty-handed and try our luck elsewhere."

With that, Li Changge turned around and prepared to leave.

"Brother Changge, please wait."

Shen Tian suddenly called out to him.

Li Changge turned around, her face full of confusion:

"What's wrong, Brother Shen? The door's completely blocked. Do you have any other ideas?"

"Could it be that you also understand ancient formations?"

Li Changge looked Shen Tian up and down and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Brother Shen's physical body and mental strength have become so abnormal.

If they're also proficient in formations, how are others supposed to survive?

Shen Tian chuckled and shook his head.

"In the art of formations, I've mastered six out of seven orifices, but not the last one."

Li Changge breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Thank goodness, at least there's something you're not good at.

"So, Brother Shen, what do you mean?"

Li Changge asked.

Shen Tian slowly rolled up his sleeves and looked at the bronze sword gate that was a hundred meters high.

"Since Brother Changge has confirmed that this formation is stuck due to years of disrepair..."

"Then let's help clear the blockage."

"Perhaps there is another way to open this door."

Upon hearing this, Li Changge's eyes widened instantly.

Is there another way?!

Could it be some kind of long-lost secret technique?

Or is it some kind of special magical artifact designed to break ancient restrictions?

Li Changge immediately perked up.

"Brother Shen, do you perhaps possess some special incantation for breaking the formation?"

"Or perhaps you also possess some kind of extraordinary swordsmanship talent?"

Li Changge rubbed his hands excitedly to the side.

Today has been quite an eye-opening experience!

Shen Tian did not answer.

He took a step and stepped over the white jade platform.

He didn't even glance at the blunt heavy sword used to test swordsmanship talent.

He walked straight to the front of the hundred-meter-high bronze gate.

Shen Tian stopped and looked up at the nine lifelike ancient sword dragon carvings on the door.

It must be said that this bronze door does indeed emanate extremely terrifying restrictive energy.

Even a ninth-level expert standing in front of the door would feel a chill run down their spine.

Just then, Shen Tian made a move.

He slowly raised his right hand.

Li Changge watched from behind, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Starting stance!

This is definitely the starting stance of some kind of earth-shattering sword technique!

However, the next second.

Shen Tian did not join his two fingers together to form a sword incantation.

But...

He slowly clenched his fist.

Li Changge was stunned.

"Brother Shen, what are you doing?"

"This is a forbidden gate left behind by an ancient master of swordsmanship; it can only be opened by resonating with sword intent."

"Clenching your fist won't do any good..."

Li Changge hadn't finished speaking yet.

boom--!

The blood and qi within Shen Tian's body, like a true dragon that had been sleeping for countless ages, suddenly awakened at this moment!

A dazzling purple-gold light shot into the sky from Shen Tian's body.

The air in the entire underground sword court was instantly sucked dry by this extremely violent physical power.

Black liquid metal surged wildly.

The Asura Holy Armor covered his entire body in the blink of an eye!

Bronze-colored divine patterns flowed across the armor, bursting forth with a radiance like the blazing sun.

But this is not over yet!

Crackling sounds!

A purple-gold lightning bolt, as thick as a water vat, surged wildly from Shen Tian's body.

Black and red flames followed closely behind.

The laws of thunder and fire intertwined, frantically converging and compressing on Shen Tian's right fist.

One layer... two layers... ten layers!

The terrifying aura of destruction caused the entire underground space to tremble violently.

Holy crap!
