Strongest Ruler

The Trials of the Flower Sword Sect

Deep in the middle of the forest, precisely under the rushing waterfall, Xiao Fan sat on a rock just below the waterfall.

He did that because of what his grandfather's relics book explained that doing exercises like this would be able to strengthen one's foundation.

But Xiao Fan did not know that his own foundation was already very strong, even he could compete with the third level of the realm of improvement with little effort.

But to fight against someone who was at level four, Xiao Fan had absolutely no chance of winning.

During the day with such a blazing sun, after Xiao Fan finished training, he sat right in the sun to dry his clothes.

"Haa... I think it's time for me to start cultivating."

Xiao Fan let out a long sigh, he spread his two legs astray then took a stance of sitting cross-legged with both palms fused together.

Xiao Fan inhaled the spiritual energy that was around him then aimed at a place called Dantian or Sea Qi.

Note: The dantian is a sea of Qi which is the gathering place for the Qi of a Cultivator located below the navel.

Since this was the first time he had started cultivating, Xiao Fan had little difficulty regulating the flow of Qi being absorbed into his body.

After three hours, Xiao Fan's pale face had disappeared, his breathing had also been regular in a certain rhythm.

Meanwhile, streams of Qi that had been purified and gathered within his dantian began to flow into the meridians all over his body.

His muscular veins started to look contracted while the blood flow in Xiao Fan's body was flowing increasingly faster.

Bam! Bam!!

The first level of Repair.

Explosions of spiritual energy rang out from within Xiao Fan's Dantian, he opened his eyes and saw that it was night.

"How long have I been practicing?" Xiao Fan stood up, he patted the back of ya's body that was dirty from the ground.

"I was so swept away in meditation that I didn't realize it was night, that if a beast were to come near, wouldn't that mean the same thing as my death?"

Xiao Fan frowned, with his negligence just now, could have his life killed.

With that experience, Xiao Fan increased his vigilance for the future.

Since now Xiao Fan was already a Cultivator, the path he would experience for the future was endless bloodshed.

"Hmm, since I already have Qi in my body, shouldn't I test my strength?" Xiao Fan thought for a moment. He saw a large stone not far from him.

He walked towards the large rock and stood less than three meters away. Xiao Fan flowed his body Qi into the Meridian line that was in his right hand.

It was very difficult to begin with because Xiao Fan was not yet used to controlling the flow of Qi from within his Dantian.

But after a short period of time, Xiao Fan was finally able to control the flow of Qi as he pleased.

"Hmm, it's not as hard as I thought."

Xiao Fan coated his fist with a transparent blue-colored Qi, he released his fist on a huge rock that was three meters away from him.

Bam!

When Xiao Fan's fist hit the rock, it instantly shattered into small pieces strewn across the ground.

"It's great, even I don't feel any pain in my bones." Xiao Fan said with a bit of pleasure.

But after seeing how Xiao Fan could easily control the Qi in his body, it was clear he was an incomparable genius.

After Xiao Fan familiarized himself with the flow of Qi, he suddenly recalled about the entrance exam of the sword flower sect.

Although the sword flower sect was only a middle-class sect, but they could be likened to the big sects that existed in Akshu Kingdom.

"Oh no, two more days are the day that the registration of the sword flower sect ends." Xiao Fan said with a slight nervousness.

Since his stomach was already hungry from not eating a full day, Xiao Fan ended up looking for a rooster to cook.

Because the forest is quite dense and also spacious, finding a forest chicken is not a difficult thing.

After a few minutes, Zhukai returned to his place with two pieces of jungle chicken in his hand.

He cleaned the inside of the forest chicken, after Xiao Fan felt that it was already clean, he gave his two forest chickens some spices and also herbs.

After Xiao Fan felt that the forest chicken was ripe, he finally finished the two pieces of the forest chicken within two minutes.

"Haa, I'm full."

Xiao Fan washed his face in a lake, he finally decided to head to the sword flower sect to enroll as a disciple there.

The sword flower sect itself was located 200 miles south of Akshu kingdom. It was located on a mountain and was divided into four, an outer disciple field, an inner disciple field, a core disciple field, and buildings belonging to elders and sect heads.

The thing that made the sword flower sect a middle sect was due to the lack of members who registered there.

Open because no one wanted to register there, but the test as a condition of passing to become a disciple of the sword flower sect was extremely difficult.

Among the thousands of people who signed up, only a hundred were accepted as disciples of the sword flower sect.

Xiao Fan himself chose to register there because of what was written in his grandfather's letter.

Inside the letter, Xiao Fan had to meet someone named Yang Feng, and give his grandfather's jade relic to him.

Due to the great distance, Xiao Fan needed almost two days to get there.

Seen at the foot of the mountain, there were many Cultivators with first-rate cultivation bases from the first realm.

"Hmm, this is only a middle sect, but the examinees have almost reached two thousand people." Xiao Fan stood on one of the tree branches while staring at the examinees.

"Ah, I must also come there."

When Xiao Fan saw three male and female figures descending from the mountain, he hurriedly joined the group of examinees.

Looking at the sect clothes they were wearing, Xiao Fan immediately realized that they were the examination overseers of the sword flower sect.

"Consider!!.." The voice of a man leading said firmly.

Reacting to the shout from the man, everyone who was originally talking to the others suddenly fell silent.

"What a very strong pressure." Xiao Fan clucked in admiration staring at the figure of the man in front of the examinees.

"Because soon the sect examination will begin, I will explain about the rules."
