Chapter 651: Zhang Ruochen on the Bronze Tripod

When Pang Long saw Han Qiu leave the Worshiping Bronze Tripod, he immediately rushed forward to meet her. He folded his hands and said with a smile, “Junior sister apprentice, congratulations on your acquisition of the Sword Saint’s Sword Comprehension. Based on your talent in the Tao of the sword, you will probably practice Sword One to the tenth level, the Realm of Completion, at the Fish-Dragon Realm.”

Pang Long was actually very jealous of Han Qiu. He had only gained the common Saint’s Sword Comprehension, which was far from being comparable to the Sword Saint’s.

Then again, he thought to himself, “If I get her, I would feel even more fulfilled.”

Han Qiu was quite happy to get the Sword Saint’s Sword Comprehension. “Regarding being gifted in the Tao of the sword, I am still far from those young sword heroes. I got the Sword Saint’s Sword Comprehension purely based on luck.”

Pang Long thought Han Qiu was being too humble. “Junior sister apprentice, in your opinion, who is a highly-talented sword hero?”

Han Qiu looked at the sky and thought of a white-clothed young man.

If the man had not given her the Nine Yin Sword, she would probably not have been accepted as an apprentice of the Yin and Yang Sect. Perhaps she would have long been devoured by the dark force and turned into a pile of loess.

His gift in Tao of the sword was formidable. Han Qiu could only look up to him.

He had left Omen Ridge and gone to the Saint Academy in the Eastern Region. It was said that he had topped the Sword Technique Department of the Saint Academy.

If he were alive, perhaps nobody would be able to compete with him using swords.

If he had come to the Yin and Yang Sect and entered the Worshiping Bronze Tripod, he would have been able to obtain at least the Saint Prince’s sword comprehension. Unfortunately, only the good die young. Such an excellent person died an unnatural death. Han Qiu felt it was a real pity.

Her joy left her when she thought of him. She sighed deeply and felt depressed. Without answering Pang Long, she went down the stairs and returned to her position.

Pang Long had no idea what he had said to annoy her. When he saw that she had become sullen, he disinterestedly retreated.

Five new Saint’s disciples stepped up the Worshiping Bronze Tripod, one after the other, but all of them failed. No one got even one Patriarch’s Sword Comprehension.

“Elder brother Pang Long and Senior sister apprentice Han Qiu have already entered the Worshiping Bronze Tripod, so no one else is expected to gain a Patriarch’s sword comprehension.”

“In the previous coronation ceremonies, if there was even one Saint’s disciple who got a Patriarch’s sword comprehension it was already considered pretty good. Today, there are two disciples. The Sunv Yard and the Supreme Pure Palace will definitely celebrate.”

In the crowd, a female disciple who was quite pretty blinked her eyes and expectantly said, “I don’t know, perhaps elder brother Lin Yue can get a Patriarch’s Sword Comprehension.”

It was Zhao Han’er from Zixia Sacred Mountain.

She had come all the way to the Supreme Pure Palace hoping to witness elder brother Lin Yue be crowned a Saint’s disciple.

Zhao Han’er’s words provoked laughter from everyone around her.

A sallow and emaciated indoor disciple rubbed his chin and said, “Junior sister apprentice Zhao, don’t expect too much of Lin Yue. Otherwise, you’ll be quite disappointed.”

“Why don’t you trust elder brother Lin Yue?” Zhao Han’er angrily answered.

In her opinion, elder brother Lin Yue was quite accomplished in the Tao of the sword. He had already practiced the Sword Ripple of Ten Channels to the Perfection of Martial Arts. Compared to the indoor disciples present, he was better in the Tao of the sword.

The indoor disciple said, “He’s famous only because he bragged that he had killed Serene Blue Emissary. Do you really believe him?”

Another indoor disciple beside him very disdainfully laughed. “Lin Yue only defeated Pang Long by depending on his more profound cultivation. If they are both within the same realm, Lin Yue and Pang Long are not at the same level.”

Zhao Han’er was very confident in her elder brother Lin Yue. She continued arguing with the indoor disciples, but she only got taunted with laughter.

Everyone thought the junior sister apprentice was dumb to believe that Lin Yue could get a Patriarch’s Sword Comprehension.

While Zhang Ruochen was standing under the Worshiping Bronze Tripod, he overheard Zhao Han’er’s argument with the others. He turned around and looked at the boundary of the ashram.

Xun Hualiu followed his gaze and looked. He smiled evilly and said, “Do you have compassion for her? “The junior sister apprentice looks beautiful and admires you. If you are able to get a Patriarch’s Sword Comprehension, even if a Half-Saint’s Sword Comprehension, you can easily get her tonight.”

Zhang Ruochen looked back and said without emotion, “We are just brother and sister. Don’t get me wrong. ”

Xun Hualiu could not stop laughing. He said, “Just brother and sister? Are you kidding me? If you don’t want her, I do.”

“You better leave her alone.” Zhang Ruochen glared at Xun Hualiu.

He appeared to be calm, but he exuded strong Spiritual Power. Xun Hualiu trembled all over as if he had suddenly fallen into an ice hole.

After a while, Xun Hualiu recovered. He sighed deeply and murmured. “Why are you so mean? It’s just a woman. She is yours, and I won’t take her, okay?”

Zhang Ruochen warned Xun Hualiu not because he loved Zhao Han’er but because she had left a good impression on him.

Pang Long stared at Zhang Ruochen and said, “Lin Yue, why don’t you enter the Worshiping Bronze Tripod? Are you afraid that you will lose face if you don’t receive a Patriarch’s Sword Comprehension?”

Han Qiu also looked at Zhang Ruochen.

She knew clearly that Lin Yue had a certain achievement in sword technique and he may be able to get a Patriarch’s Sword Comprehension. Han Qiu harbored certain expectations of him.

Today, there were 17 new Saint’s disciples. Fifteen disciples had entered the Worshiping Bronze Tripod. Aside from Pang Long and Han Qiu, all the others had failed.

Finally, the 16th Saint’s disciple also failed and went down the stone stairs in despair.

“Very well, I’ll try my luck.”

Zhang Ruochen stared at Pang Long and then stepped forward. He ascended the stone stairs steadily. Then, he jumped to the top of the Worshiping Bronze Tripod.

He lowered his feet gently onto the edge of the tripod. He took a deep breath and adjusted his Heart State to its best state. He impressed people with an unusual tranquility like an old pine growing in the bronze tripod.

Han Qiu, who was standing under the cauldron, was shocked slightly by Lin Yue’s temperament—it was similar to that of the man she knew.

Just because of this temperament, Han Qiu could not hate him even if she disliked his behavior.

Zhang Ruochen did not jump into the bronze cauldron immediately but instead remained standing on its edge. He shut his eyes and completely emptied himself and went into an extremely abstruse state.

He stood there for an hour without moving.

“What is he doing? Why does he not go into the bronze cauldron?”

“Why does he keep standing on the top of the bronze cauldron? Does he want everyone to see him? What a narcissist!”

The other new Saint’s disciples had all jumped into the bronze cauldron without hesitation. Only Zhang Ruochen stood on the edge and did not jump for a long time. No one knew what he was doing.

Another hour passed, but he still stood on the edge like a statue.

“How long will he stand? Why doesn’t a Half-Saint Patriarch come and discipline him?”

“If you can’t do it, please come down immediately.”

…

Pang Long stood under the Worshiping Bronze Tripod, raised his head, and looked up. Black lines sprouted from his forehead. He coldly asked, “Lin Yue, what the hell are you doing?”

Xun Hualiu shook his head and sighed. Then, he sat on the ground and scratched his head. “I think he wants to keep standing until it’s dark. Why didn’t I think of this approach? Even if I can’t get a Patriarch’s Sword Comprehension, I can break the record for standing the longest on the Worshiping Bronze Tripod. What a mistake!”

All of the Half-Saints in the Supreme Pure Palace were frowning.

Half-saint Yuanlong was the first to get impatient. He stood up and walked out of the palace in order to drive Zhang Ruochen away from the Worshiping Bronze Tripod.

Half-saint Zixia looked pale. Ever since the foundation of the Yin and Yang Sect, no one had been this shameless. He had been standing on the Worshiping Bronze Tripod for over two hours. If Half-saint Yuanlong had not gotten up, he would have gone and taken Zhang Ruochen down himself.

Only Saint Lady looked thoughtful.

“Could it be…”

Suddenly, her eyes glowed. She stood up and blurted out. “Predecessor Yuanlong, please wait a moment.”

Half-saint Yuanlong stopped and looked at Saint Lady. He immediately showed respect and asked, “Saint Lady, what is your advice?”

“We should wait a little longer,” Saint Lady said.

Half-saint Yuanlong looked over at Zhang Ruochen on the bronze cauldron and said with a smile, “This guy has stayed on the Worshiping Bronze Tripod for a long time to make the talented woman laugh!”

Saint Lady smiled faintly and said, “I don’t think so. He is very interesting. Maybe he will surprise us.”

“Oh?” Half-saint Yuanlong was visibly moved.

The other Half-Saints immediately straightened their clothes and sat properly. They all looked at Zhang Ruochen on the bronze cauldron.

Saint Lady was Psychic Sage, so her realm was many times higher than theirs. She must have seen something for her to say such things.

Through careful observation, they finally found something unusual.

Half-saint Zixia’s eyes lit up as he laughed and said, “Interesting, very interesting. This guy seems more complex than I thought.”

Only the Half-Saint could detect that Lin Yue now appeared to be integrated with the Worshiping Bronze Tripod. Even the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi were discharged.

The other Half-Saints were startled.

“No such thing has ever happened at the coronation ceremony. Perhaps Lin Yue is a real genius in the Tao of the sword and has shocked the Vessel Spirit of the Worshiping Bronze Tripod?” Half-saint Jing Lan of the Sunv Yard said in confusion.

Saint Lady’s beautiful eyes twinkled as she stared at Zhang Ruochen at the top of the Worshiping Bronze Tripod. “Whatever it is, please don’t disturb him. Let’s see what amazing things will happen.”
