The powerful instrument spirit of Di Bao has some limitations.

  The instrument spirit master can actively transmit some information to the instrument spirit incarnation, but the incarnation cannot actively transmit information back to the instrument spirit master.

  To connect with the true body of the artifact spirit, one must rely on the spiritual power of the Ling Crystal.

  So, Zhang Ruochen's test results will not be immediately transmitted to the main body of Qilingshen by Qiling's clone.

  As for how to communicate with the avatar of Dì Bǎng Qì Líng, that's Lei Jing's business. After all, the avatar of Dì Bǎng Qì Líng is also under the management of Wǔ Shì Qián Zhuāng.

  Lei Jing is the highest person in charge of the Wu Shi Qian Zhuang of Tianmo Ridge's thirty-six counties, and the local earth-ranking spiritual divisions naturally also fall under his management.

  Otherwise, Zhang Ruochen would not have gone to ask Lei Jing for help.

  Zhang Ruochen said: "I challenge the 130th place on the Earth Ranking List, Wei Wuxin."

  Before entering the testing chamber, Lei Jing told Zhang Ruochen that his overall strength was equivalent to a martial artist ranked one hundred and thirtieth on the Earth List.

  So Zhang Ruochen's first challenge would choose this name.

  He also wants to know if he can defeat his opponent when their strengths are equal.

  "Whoosh"

  In the test chamber, the name "Wei Wuhuo" flashed, and the spiritual energy gathered continuously, condensing into a man in his thirties.

  The man standing opposite Zhang Ruochen was Wei Wuxin.

  To be precise, he is a spiritual clone of Di Biao, condensed into a spiritual body according to Wei Wuxue's data.

  All warriors who participate in the Earth Ranking test, including strength, speed, martial arts, mentality, language, habitual actions and so on, will have their various data recorded by the instrument spirit of the Earth Ranking.

  As long as one possesses these materials, the ranked artifact spirit can use spiritual energy to condense a powerful spiritual body that is identical to oneself.

  "How dare you challenge me, kid? Are you a bit too arrogant?"

  Wei Wuhuan's ethereal body was indistinguishable from a real person, and as he spoke, a hint of an unrestrained and proud air seeped out.

  Zhang Ruochen held up the Xuan Yuan ancient sword, standing with his sword horizontal, saying: "Is it arrogance or real skill? Let's fight and see."

  Wei's mouth curled up slightly, and he let out a cold laugh, saying: "Not bad"

  "Wow"

  Wei Wuhuan's arm stretched out, and a one-zhang-three-chi-long green stick condensed in the void.

  Qing Cong, shaped like a long spear, with a pointed end resembling dragon teeth, giving people a chilling feeling.

  "This Heaven-shaking Halberd is forged from a single piece of meteoric iron, weighing 4,300 catties. It has 57 engraved patterns and belongs to the Eighth-Rank True Martial Treasure. Can you withstand my one halberd?"

  Wei Wuxian's voice was like thunder, constantly echoing in the testing chamber.

  Wei Wuhou's hands grasped the halberd, his eyes bursting with golden light as he swung it towards Zhang Ruochen.

  That one rod of Heaven-shocking Halberd was formed by the spiritual energy condensed by the spiritual instrument, but it possessed all the power of the Heaven-shocking Halberd.

  When Wei Wuxian swung his sword and slashed down, the entire space violently shook, emitting a "crackling" sound.

  Whether it's speed or strength, Wei Wuxin and Zhang Ruochen are evenly matched.

  Even in terms of combat experience, Wei Wuxue was quite rich, and with just one move, seven illusory shadows appeared, as if seven people were attacking at the same time, sealing off all of Zhang Ruochen's moves.

  Wei Wuxian wants to win with one move.

  Zhang Ruochen let out a long whistle, his sword stabbed forward and collided with the Shocking Heaven Halberd, making a series of clashing sounds and emitting sparks.

  "Boom"

  It seemed like just two soldiers clashing, but the sound of their collision was like thunder, enough to tear apart the eardrums of ordinary warriors.

  One blow was exchanged and both men quickly retreated.

  Zhang Ruochen retreated to the stone wall of the secret room, only then did he steady his footsteps. His arm holding the sword felt an unbearable pain. The right half of his body was numb from the shock.

  Wei Wuheng was slightly better than Zhang Ruochen, but he retreated seven steps before immediately stabilizing his footing.

  Such a result was within Zhang Ruochen's expectations.

  Because Zhang Ruochen used "Elephant Power Ninefold" to burst out seven times the power in the first round of the strength test, he was able to strike out with a force equivalent to 32.2 Headless Elephants.

  It can be imagined that Wei Wuxue's strongest explosive power is probably around thirty-two heads of fierce elephants.

  Although Wei Wuxue also definitely has a boost in martial skills, it is absolutely impossible to reach the level of seven times the power.

  So, Zhang Ruochen's strength was naturally weaker than Wei Wuxue's without the Seven-Fold Palm Power.

  "How can your sword be so sharp?"

  Wei Wuxin looked at his beloved Shaking Heaven Halberd, only to see a deep gash on its surface, carved by the Submerged Ancient Sword, almost cutting it in two.

  A true martial treasure of the eighth rank was reduced to half-ruin by Zhang Ruochen with just one sword.

  Zhēn tiān gōu is forged from a single piece of meteoric iron, and also has the protection of an inscription. Even if it were a ninth-grade true martial treasure, it would not be possible to damage it.

  How sharp did Zhang Ruochen's Xuan Yuan Sword have to be in order to cut the Heaven-Shocking Halberd into scrap metal with a single slash?

  "Warriors, aren't they also a part of a martial artist's true strength?" Zhang Ruochen said.

  "Hmph, you shouldn't be so smug, you've only grasped a powerful weapon. Compared to true strength, you're still far behind me."

  Wei Wuxue put down the damaged Heaven-Shaking Halberd and stepped on the ground, instantly creating a nine-meter diameter blood array beneath his feet.

  Diameter of nine meters, Holy Blood Array.

  "Roar"

  Wei Wuhuan stepped on the blood array and burst into his fastest speed. Almost in an instant, he struck a palm at Zhang Ruochen's face.

  After the brief rest just now, Zhang Ruochen's arm had regained its strength. His body flipped over, dodging Wei Wuxue's palm print, and at the same time, a sword stabbed towards Wei Wuxue's left rib.

  "Tai Chi Chin Na Hand."

  Wei Wuhuo's hands spread out like an eagle spreading its wings, rushing to Zhang Ruochen's face, his hands constantly drawing a circle, forming a Tai Chi pattern.

  His fingers changed incessantly, like iron hooks, like short blades, like crane beaks, and with the change of his fingers, the void vibrated strangely.

  Zhang Ruochen's face changed slightly, and he was about to retreat when he suddenly discovered that his wrist had been caught by Wei Wuxue, and the meridian on his right arm had actually been sealed off by the other party.

  "You're a disciple of Tai Chi." Zhang Ruochen said.

  Wei Wuheng used Taiji Qinna, tightly grasping Zhang Ruochen's wrist, and smiled: "You still have some insight, I am a disciple of the Two Instruments Sect of Taiji Dao. You won't know who your opponent is now?"

  Tianmo Ridge's thirty-six counties and states, why can't anyone enter the top three thousand on the earth ranking?

  It's precisely because the top three thousand places on the Earth Ranking are almost all occupied by disciples of first-rate, second-rate and third-rate powers, who are known as "Upper Three Grades" inheritors.

  It can be said that Shi Xingkong and Zhang Tiange being able to enter the top 10,000 of the Earth Ranking is already a pretty impressive feat.

  In the eyes of the top three sects, Tianmo Ridge was just a small rural place, and even the strongest sect was only a fourth-rate sect.

  A martial artist from a small place, how can they possibly compete with their "top three" martial artists?

  "What about the Two-Part Sect?"

  "For other warriors, the Two Instruments Sect is indeed sacred and invincible. However, even if it's a disciple of the Two Instruments Sect, under the same circumstances with equal strength, they are still far inferior to me." Zhang Ruochen said.

  "Wei Wuheng coldly smiled and said, 'Since you know the Er'ying Sect, you should understand how formidable the Taiji Qinna Shou is. Once caught, even a saint cannot escape.'"

  "Is that so? But you still haven't mastered Tai Chi grasping hands, and can't control me."

  Zhang Ruochen's five fingers relaxed, and he voluntarily gave up the Xuan Yuan ancient sword.

  Seeing Zhang Ruochen take the initiative to let go, Wei Wuxin's eyes sank, grabbing Zhang Ruochen's arm, inch by inch extending upwards, and soon grasped Zhang Ruochen's shoulder.

  Wei Wuheng stretched out one arm and slapped Zhang Ruochen's head with his palm.

  Just as Zhang Ruocheng was about to be defeated by Wei Wuhuan, a sword aura suddenly flew out from behind and cut off Wei Wuhuan's neck, his head flying out.

  Wei Wuhuan's body immediately turned into strands of spiritual energy and dissipated in the testing chamber.

  "Whoosh"

  The ancient sword flew in a circle in mid-air and landed at Zhang Ruochen's feet.

  "No wonder you're ranked 130th on the Earth Ranking, you've actually forced me to use the realm of Sword Heart Clear and Bright."

  This is also an unavoidable thing, "Tai Chi Catch Hand" is known as one of the twelve strongest catch hands.

  As Wei Wuxian said, once caught, even a saint cannot escape.

  Only by using the realm of a clear and transparent mind can one gain victory; otherwise, one can only rely on the power of the spatial domain.

  However, this time in the ranking test, Zhang Ruochen did not plan to use spatial power, lest he be discovered by the instrument spirit of the ranking list. Spatial power was his biggest trump card and absolutely could not be exposed.

  Affected by Taiji Qinna, Zhang Ruochen's right arm was like being dislocated, without any sensation, and even couldn't feel the flow of true energy.

  "I didn't expect Wei Wuxian to have cultivated Taiji Qincheng, and Wei Wuxian also didn't expect me to reach the realm of Sword Heart Transparency. Although I won against him, I still can't help but admit that previously I had underestimated his strength and looked down on him in my heart; otherwise, I wouldn't have needed to use the realm of Sword Heart Transparency."

  Zhang Ruochen summed up this battle and warned himself that from now on, no matter whether he encountered strong or weak opponents, he must not have any more contemptuous thoughts and must be cautious in his treatment.

  Zhang Ruochen walked out of the testing chamber.

  Lei Jing glanced at Zhang Ruochen and found that he was seriously injured. He asked, "Who among the Earth List did you challenge?"

  Zhang Ruochen directly told Lei Jing through a voice transmission, saying: "The 130th."

  Lei Jing's eyebrows furrowed deeply, he hadn't expected that Zhang Ruochen would dare to challenge an opponent with similar strength in the first round.

  In fact, he wanted Zhang Ruochen to challenge the third hundredth warrior first. After all, each of the warriors in the top of the earth list was a proud son of heaven and extremely powerful.

  Zhang Ruochen compared with them, still seems too young and too tender, almost no chance of winning.
