The sword is the only one that can lead to enlightenment once a month

Chapter 62 The beast tide rises!
The city lord was silent for a moment and sighed in his heart.

About half a month ago, a warrior at the Star Realm discovered the trace of an eighth-level overlord monster in a small village outside the Shiwan Mountains. He reported it to the City Lord's Mansion, and he quickly passed the news to the Imperial City.

Originally, this was not a big deal. After all, a few level seven or eight monsters would emerge from the Ten Thousand Mountains every few years. This time, they were just a little stronger.

He and several warriors in the late Xingji Realm were fully capable of resisting or even killing it. But just three days ago, a warrior in Baoyuan Realm escaped from the Shiwu Mountain and brought news that a beast tide was brewing in the Shiwu Mountain!
In fact, the city lord was unwilling to believe it at first. How many years had it been since a beast tide broke out in the Shiwan Mountains? A hundred years, or two hundred years?

Anyway, a very long time.

But later he had to believe it, because there were far more than one warrior who brought out the news, plus that level eight overlord-class monster, and calculations showed that the probability of a beast tide breaking out was at least 70%.

As soon as the result was obtained, the city lord requested support from the imperial city and ordered the garrison to begin preparations. At the same time, he immediately summoned the leaders of all major forces in the city to discuss the matter.

Just when the atmosphere was somewhat silent, a soldier in armor rushed in.

The city lord's pupils shrank when he saw this, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Tell me quickly, what happened!"

Without waiting for the soldier to speak, a Star Realm cultivator who was closer said anxiously. Everyone turned their eyes to him, and he obviously realized something.

“More than ten miles outside the city, a tide of beasts appeared!
After a moment of silence, the city lord said in a low and solemn voice: "Go, go out to meet the enemy, don't think about escaping, Xuanzhong City is a thousand miles of wasteland, if you don't want to face the eighth-level overlord monster alone, then defend Xuanzhong and wait for support from the imperial city!"

After these words were spoken, many thoughts that had just risen to the Star Realm were dispelled. He let out a long sigh and rose into the air.

Thunder Realm, Empire of Thunder, Lei Ze City.

There is a building in the city named Fengyu Tower, which is one of the three largest buildings in Lei Ze City. It is five stories high and each floor can accommodate a large number of guests. It is the favorite haunt of young talents and children of wealthy families.

There are no restrictions on the first three floors, but only young geniuses in the Star Realm can ascend to the fourth and fifth floors. This is one of the characteristics of Fengyu Tower. Otherwise, even the powerful people in the Spirit Sea Realm may not be able to climb up.

As a restaurant exclusively for young people, it is normal to have some restrictions. Of course, Fengyulou also has the confidence to make rules because it has a backer.

In the lobby on the fifth floor, several young geniuses were talking loudly. Various geniuses and outstanding people appeared in their mouths, starting from the outer domain, to the Thunder Domain, and then to the Empire of Thunder.

"By the way, have you heard that the Princess of Thunder has broken through to the Star Realm, and once she did, she defeated a peak warrior in the middle stage of the Star Realm."

"So fierce?!"

"That's right. With this kind of combat power as soon as he breaks through, I think it won't take long for him to catch up with us old geniuses."

"That's right. The Princess of Thunder is only nineteen years old. At the age of nineteen, she is already at the Star Realm, comparable to those kings when they were young, or even better. How can we compare with her?"

Several geniuses shook their heads one after another.

In fact, they are at least the top geniuses in the area, otherwise they would not be sitting here. However, compared with the peerless genius like Jing Aoxuan who was born in the great world, the gap is obvious.

"By the way, you said that even the Princess of Thunder is so strong, then what strength must the young master of the Chen family have to have to defeat her with one punch?"

"I'm not sure. After all, I was still out training at that time and didn't go to see it. But since he was able to defeat the Princess of Thunder with one punch, he must have entered the Star Realm now."

Although there were many geniuses who went there at that time, most of them were in the Baoyuan realm. The geniuses who truly entered the Xingji realm were actually training outside.

"Hey, Brother Fang, didn't you go to see the young master of the Chen family? What do you think of him?" Several young geniuses set their sights on a genius with an ordinary face named Fang.

The genius surnamed Fang was silent for a while, as if he was recalling that time, and then he only said one sentence.

"The young master of the Chen family was no less capable than me."

After these words were spoken, the group of geniuses were stunned and asked questions one after another.

"Hiss, Brother Fang, you are not joking, are you?"

"That's right, this joke doesn't make any sense."

"Brother Fang, we are asking about the strength of the young master of the Chen family back then, not now."

It's no wonder they were excited, what they said was just too exaggerated. Each of them was a warrior in the middle stage of the Star Realm, and their artistic conception, martial arts, and skills were all quite good, and their combat power was comparable to that of the late stage of the Star Realm.

But Chen Fan was only a warrior in Baoyuan realm at that time. Even though he had cultivated half-step true essence, he was still only a warrior in Baoyuan realm.

Moreover, they have been practicing for so many years, each of them is over twenty-five, and at least fifteen years. But Chen Fan has only been practicing for less than ten years. How can they accept this!

"Do you think I'm kidding?"

The genius surnamed Fang said calmly, his eyes flickering, as if he recalled the scene he witnessed at the beginning, the prototype of the profound truth, which was something he had been pursuing but could not obtain, but he saw it in a warrior in the Baoyuan realm.

Several geniuses looked at each other, then sat down dejectedly.

"Do you think there is anyone in the Southern Region who can rival him?"

"Chu Zhongtian from the Golden Sands, Li Xiaoyun, the Son of Heaven's Book from the Floating Lights, and Jing Aoxuan, the Princess of Thunder from the Thunders, all three have the potential to become true dragons, but they are clearly much weaker than the young master of the Chen family. The only ones who can be compared to them are probably the young emperors whose names are recorded in history books."

Several people were silent. They wanted to refute, but they were powerless because it was the fact.

"This person is the number one genius among the Southern Territory. Being born in the same era as him is both a tragedy and a blessing for the Southern Territory geniuses."

Several people speculated about the specific strength of the young master of the Chen family, because it was inevitable that he would enter the Star Realm.

So some people guessed it was the top Star Realm, some guessed it was the limit of the Star Realm, and some guessed it was the invincible Star Realm.

At this time, a figure in a white robe passed by, but the few people didn't pay any attention to it and continued to speculate and come up with their own evidence.

Little did they know that the protagonist they were talking about was only ten centimeters away from them.

----

Stepping out of Fengyu Tower, recalling what those geniuses said before, Chen Fan's mouth curled up. Although he didn't care much about other people's opinions, who would not be happy to be admired and praised in person?

It’s just… the reputation is getting bigger and bigger.

Chen Fan shook his head helplessly. In the beginning, he was just the number one prodigy in the Thunder Domain. But as those forces that came to observe the martial arts conference left and returned to their original places, his reputation became more and more famous. Until now, he has been named the number one prodigy in the Southern Domain without even fighting a single battle.

Although this is true, it still seems a bit deliberate. I just don't know who did it.
