chapter 3 The past and the present

"Even if you have refined the Sword Bone, you still only made the Chaos Bell ring eight times, showing that your talent is truly mediocre. If the Sword God Sect appoints you as a sword disciple, it will only be a laughingstock!"
Noah had already known what Liam said.
Therefore, he did not show too much anger.
His voice just became colder and colder.
Liam, however, burst into a wild laugh at this moment. "Who else but me should be the Sword Child of the Sword God Sect? Could it be that there is someone else in the sect who can make the Chaos Bell ring nine times?"
"Of course, there is!"
Noah's gaze slightly condensed.
With that said, he turned and walked towards the Chaos Bell.
James on the high platform ahead saw Noah's intention and his eyes suddenly narrowed.
"How dare you act recklessly on the day of the Sword Child Enfeoffment Ceremony! Someone, immediately blast him out of the Holy Bell Square!"
James's command fell, and immediately, several Sword God Sect stewards walked out from both sides of the Holy Bell Square.
However, Noah had already arrived at the side of the Chaos Bell.
In the instant he reached out his palm and touched the wall of the Chaos Bell.
A piece of golden text immediately appeared in his mind.
At the same time, the Heavenly Dao Stele also slowly floated out in his mind, releasing a force of Heavenly Evolution Force.
Under the influence of this force, the golden text continuously evolved the Chaos Avenue, becoming clearer and clearer.
"Quick! Stop him!" Seeing this, James's heart surged with strong anxiety, urgently commanding the stewards.
The stewards once again stepped forward after hearing the command. However, they saw the Chaos Bell at this moment flashing a dazzling golden light, enveloping Noah, making them dare not approach.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
The melodious sound of the bell resounded.
The bell rang six times in a row, with the lingering sound lingering in the air.
"What's going on? Wasn't it said that Noah's dantian was shattered and he was already a cripple? Why can he still make the Chaos Bell ring six times?"
"To make the Chaos Bell ring, you only need to comprehend the Chaos Induction recorded on the Chaos Bell. Although his dantian is broken, his comprehension ability has not changed."
"Accordingly, his ability to make the Chaos Bell ring six times has surpassed the vast majority of disciples of the Sword God Sect. It's a pity that there is still a big gap between him and Liam!"
There was a commotion around the Holy Bell Square, with various discussions gradually rising.
Standing on the Holy Bell Square, Liam, on the other hand, had a disdainful expression on his face.
"Noah, now you only able to ring the Chaos Bell ring six times. I can't wait to see how you end up later!"
He was now looking forward to seeing Noah's joke.
Dang!
However, just as he finished speaking, the seventh bell rang out.
On the high platform in front of the square, Benjamin and the elders of the Sword God Sect also had a slight change in their expressions.
Among the Sword God Sect's generations, there had been those who had made the Chaos Bell ring seven times.
In the history of the Sword God Sect, perhaps these people were not considered much.
But at that time, they were all the number one figures of the Sword God Sect's generation.
They were the top Sword Child who dominated an era!
Noah's ability to make the Chaos Bell ring seven times proved that his comprehension was no less than that of these people.
Dang!
The eighth bell rang out.
Liam's mouth twitched slightly, and his face darkened.
With eight bell tolls, Noah had now equaled them.
He faintly felt that his position as the Sword Child was being threatened.
Dang!
Before the crowd could react, the ninth bell rang immediately after.
The golden light enveloping Noah did not dim in the slightest.
On the contrary, it became even more dazzling and dazzling.
At this moment, the Holy Bell Square also boiled like never before.
"Nine tolls... Noah actually made the Chaos Bell ring nine times..."
"For hundreds of years, no one in the Sword God Sect has been able to make the Chaos Bell ring nine times. I didn't expect him to do it today..."
"It's too unbelievable. Today's ceremony is really becoming more and more interesting."
All the disciples of the Sword God Sect were shocked and horrified.
At this moment, they even doubted their own ears.
On the high platform in front of the square, the elders of the Sword God Sect could no longer remain calm.
Several of them were so excited that they left their seats.
"Master, our Sword God Sect has a ancestral tradition that only those who can make the Chaos Bell ring nine times can become the Sword Child of the Sword God Sect. Previously, since no one could make the Chaos Bell ring nine times, it was acceptable to appoint Liam, who made it ring eight times, as the Sword Child. But now..."
One of the green-robed elders looked serious, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly turned to the Sect Master Benjamin.
Before Benjamin could respond, James's face suddenly darkened and reprimanded.
"Raymond, what do you mean by this? Are you suggesting that the Sect Master appoint a cripple as the Sword Child? His dantian is shattered and he cannot continue to cultivate at all. If he is appointed as the Sword Child of the Sword God Sect, wouldn't it be a joke?"
James's words made the expressions of the elders suddenly become complicated.
Although Noah made the Chaos Bell ring nine times, he was ultimately a person with a shattered dantian and could not cultivate.
It seemed inappropriate to appoint him as the Sword Child at this time.
Dang!
At this moment, another bell rang out.
The crowd around the square was dumbfounded, feeling as if their understanding had been completely overturned in this moment...
"Ten tolls? The Chaos Bell actually rang for the tenth time..."
"Wasn't it said that the Chaos Bell can only ring nine times at most? How can there be a tenth toll?"
"It's impossible, this is impossible! It must be an illusion, a hallucination!"
"Could it be that all of us are experiencing hallucinations?"
Throughout the thousand-year history of the Sword God Sect, only a few individuals were believed to have made the Chaos Bell ring nine times.
Everyone thought that nine tolls were the limit.
But now, Noah actually made the Chaos Bell ring for the tenth time...
Benjamin, the Sect Master of the Sword God Sect, could no longer sit still. He also suddenly stood up from his seat. His eyes bursting with light, staring firmly at Noah standing beside the Chaos Bell who was enveloped in golden light.
Dang!
The Chaos Bell rang for the eleventh time.
The crowd was stunned to the point of numbness, their emotions unable to be described in words.
Dang!
Then, the twelfth bell tolled.
At the same time, the dazzling golden light enveloping Noah gradually dissipated.
His figure then appeared before everyone.
At this moment, he had withdrawn his outstretched palm and stood quietly beside the Chaos Bell.
Twelve tolls!
He actually made the Chaos Bell toll twelve times, a feat unheard of in history.
The entire Holy Bell Square and its surroundings fell into a strange and silent atmosphere, where a pin drop could be heard.
Liam clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and felt an indescribable anger in his heart.
Today was supposed to be the day he was appointed as the Sword Child.
He should have been bathed in glory.
But Noah made the Chaos Bell toll twelve times.
A feat unprecedented in history!
At the same time, it also ruined everything today.
On the high platform ahead, James's mood was also extremely complicated.
If he hadn't destroyed Noah's dantian, then he would still be Noah's master.
If Noah could cultivate after making the Chaos Bell toll twelve times, he would surely dominate an era and shake the continent.
In that case, his position as Noah's master would also be recorded in the history of the Sword God Sect.
It's a pity that things have come to this, and there's no turning back.
He could no longer tolerate Noah!
"Liam!"
His eyes were icy cold, and a divine sense was released, resounding in Liam's mind.
Liam was suddenly startled awake.
When he turned his head and noticed his father's gaze, he immediately understood his meaning.
