I Have A Trillion Protagonist Halos

Inside the Artifact Refining Valley.

Su Zhan stood in the central position, closing his eyes slightly, seemingly sensing something. After a while, he opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.

"Flame, starlight…" He murmured softly, and a speck of starlight flew out from the center of his brow. It landed in his hand, transforming into a slender divine sword.

The Great Sun Star Sword!

With a swing of the sword, a streak of starlight sword mark appeared in the front space. After a brief pause, this sword mark suddenly burst open. "Boom!"

A terrifying power spread out in all directions.

"Not enough." Seeing this, Su Zhan shook his head. He infused his true qi into the sword body and slashed again.

This sword was as fast as thunder, with a flash of starlight. On the stone wall dozens of meters away in front, a trench several tens of meters long had already appeared. The trench penetrated into the mountain, and a few seconds later, that part of the mountain rumbled and collapsed!

Su Zhan showed a pensive expression and began to practice a sword technique in the valley that resembled the Flame Flowing Sword Technique but was fundamentally different.

Streaks of starlight sword marks appeared, and sword qi shot out. If it weren't for the protective array in the Artifact Refining Valley, under Su Zhan's practice like this, it would have long been turned into ruins.

Half an hour later.

Su Zhan took a deep breath, raised the Great Sun Star Sword, and suddenly, a terrifying sword aura composed of flames and starlight soared into the air!

"Boom!" This sword directly struck the light barrier of the Artifact Refining Valley.

The array inscription flashed brightly, and the area struck by the sword aura even revealed a brief moment of hollowness!

"This should be the right state!"

"This sword technique is as fast as starlight, and it combines the explosive power of the Flowing Fire Sword Technique. Its power is probably ten times stronger!" Su Zhan murmured to himself, unable to contain his excitement in his heart.

Not only because of the immense power of this sword technique but also because this was the first time he had created a sword technique himself!

"What should this new sword technique be called?" Su Zhan pondered.

Flowing Fire Sword Technique combined with the power of the stars… Meteor Sword Technique?

It sounds a bit cheesy.

Starfire Flowing Light Sword Technique?

Flowing Celestial Sword Art?

They all seem to lack a certain appeal. If someone asks about it in the future, it might be lacking in sophistication!

Firestar Sword Technique?

Su Zhan's eyes brightened, giving the new sword technique a fitting name.

Firestar Sword Technique!

In terms of rank… it's probably at least a high-grade King Rank. Even the sword technique practiced by the Sect Master, the Heavenly Cloud Sword Technique, is only a mid-grade King Rank. In other words, the power of this sword technique has already surpassed any sword technique in the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect!

Moreover, the Firestar Sword Technique currently only has the first form. This sword technique is based on the power of stars and flames, and its potential for future development is still vast.

In the future, when another opportunity arises, it is entirely possible to create the second form, the third form of the Firestar Sword Technique! By then, the power of this sword technique… would be unimaginable!

Just as Su Zhan was preparing to continue practicing his new sword technique, voices of argument suddenly came from the entrance of the Artifact Refining Valley.

The Artifact Refining Valley is a restricted area of the sect, and there are two late-stage warriors of the Martial Master Realm guarding it. Who dares to barge in recklessly? Su Zhan furrowed his brow and curiously walked towards the entrance of the valley.

At the entrance of the Artifact Refining Valley.

Qi Yang forcefully shook off the hand of a guard who was trying to stop him and angrily said, "I am Qi Yang, the first successor of the true disciple lineage! How dare you, mere attendants, try to stop me?!"

"I'm sorry, the Sect Master personally instructed that no one should disturb him until Su Zhan comes out!" The gaurd shook his head.

"Outrageous! Don't you know the significance of being the first successor of the true lineage?"

Qi Yang sneered, "If I become the Sect Master of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect one day, do you think you can still live?!"

"I…"

Fear appeared in the eyes of the two guards.

"Get lost!" Qi Yang coldly uttered a word, and the true qi aura of a peak Martial Master Realm burst out.

The two guards immediately stepped back a few steps. Although they were both at the late-stage of the Martial Master Realm, Qi Yang was the first successor of the true disciples lineage, and he even had the power to cross realms and fight. An undefeated record was not something these guards could compare to. If they really fought, even if these two attacked together, they would never be Qi Yang's match!

If it weren't for the fact that they were left behind by Qin Jincheng, Qi Yang would have already blasted these two away without saying a word.

"Qi Yang, you came to find me. Why bother troubling others?" Just at that moment, Su Zhan appeared at the entrance of the Artifact Refining Valley, his gaze falling on Qi Yang, and he calmly spoke.

"Junior Brother Su, I heard that you have condensed your dvine lifesource weapon. I came here specifically to congratulate you!" Qi Yang also looked at Su Zhan and revealed a slight smile.

"Congratulations? What are you congratulating me for?" Su Zhan also smiled, "You came here empty-handed. Are you planning to kneel down and congratulate me by knocking your head against the ground?"

"Junior Brother Su! Aren't your words a bit too much?"

"Stop pretending so much. Say what you want to say, or else, just get lost!" Su Zhan had no favorable impression of Qi Yang at all. He didn't even bother to entertain him and said it directly.

The smile on Qi Yang's face faded, "Since that's the case, I won't waste any more words! Do you still remember our challenge agreement?"

"I remember." Su Zhan nodded.

"Good. Now that you have broken through to the peak of the Martial Master realm, it's time to fulfill your promise!"

"Alright. When and where?"

Seeing Su Zhan being so straightforward, Qi Yang was somewhat surprised. He then sneered, "It seems that Junior Brother Su is quite confident in himself. In that case, let's have the battle tomorrow morning on the main peak square of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect. How about that?"

"Fine." Su Zhan responded calmly, "Is there anything else? If not, you can leave."

"Su Zhan, you continue to be arrogant. Cherish your remaining time! Tomorrow, I will defeat you in front of everyone in the sect!" With a gloomy face, Qi Yang clenched his fists and left.

Shortly after, Su Zhan also left the Artifact Refining Valley. After practicing for so long, it was time for him to return to the White Cloud Peak, take a bath, have a good meal, and get some sleep.

The next day.

Ninety percent of the inner disciples of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect gathered around the main peak square.

Within less than a day, Qi Yang had mobilized a large number of people to spread the news of his decisive battle with Su Zhan at this location throughout the sect.

The purpose was simple: to defeat Su Zhan in front of everyone, so that those who had questioned Qi Yang's position as the number one talent of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect because of Su Zhan's appearance would once again admire and idolize him!

It was not only because Qi Yang enjoyed this feeling, but also because if he wanted to succeed as the sect's next Sect Master, he had to leave a profound impression among the disciples of his generation.

Defeating Su Zhan, who had recently gained much attention and almost overshadowed him, on the main peak square was undoubtedly the best choice.

Soon, both Qi Yang and Su Zhan arrived at the square.

"Junior Brother Su, I will have an Elder seal my cultivation to the initial stage of the Martial Master realm. You don't have to worry," Qi Yang's voice echoed in the square. After saying that, he walked towards an Elder who was watching the battle.

"Senior Brother Qi Yang truly lives up to his reputation! So open and upright!"

"With Senior Brother Qi Yang's strength, even if he suppresses his cultivation, Su Zhan shouldn't be a match, right?"

"Senior Brother Qi Yang is so handsome!"

Hearing those praises, Qi Yang felt pleased.

In fact, he never intended to suppress his cultivation to defeat Su Zhan.

He wasn't a fool. With Su Zhan's abnormal strength, suppressing his cultivation wouldn't make a difference in the outcome of the battle!

He only said that because he had already consumed an extremely special pill beforehand.

After the Elder sealed his cultivation, he only needed to detonate the pill with his true qi, which would break the seal! At that time, he could easily kill Su Zhan with a single strike and then act innocent, blaming the Elder for the failed sealing, which led to accidentally killing Su Zhan.

Once Su Zhan was dead, even if the Sect Master doubted him, it wouldn't matter anymore. Because by then, he, Qi Yang, would be the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect's only hope!

As Qi Yang contemplated these thoughts, he couldn't help but admire his own scheme, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

"No need. Use all of your strength and all of your trump cards to fight against me," Su Zhan's voice suddenly sounded, and the smile on Qi Yang's face froze instantly.
