Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Night had enveloped the land.
In the inner courtyard.
The numbers on the virtual interface in front of Su Chen’s eyes were still jumping.
[Grand attainment of any earth-level middle-rank martial art: 298/300]
[Breakthrough to the eighth level of the Qi Sea Realm: 298/300]
[Grand attainment of any earth-level middle-rank martial art: 299/300]
[Breakthrough to the eighth level of the Qi Sea Realm: 299/300]
[Grand attainment of any earth-level middle-rank martial art: 300/300]
[Breakthrough to the eighth level of the Qi Sea Realm: 300/300]
At this moment, Su Chen was staring at the virtual interface with great anticipation.
He was very much looking forward to the power of grand-attainment-level earth-level middle-rank martial art.
Buzz…
The two progress bars filled up at the same time.
Then, a mysterious ball of light appeared in his mind.
Boom!
A rumbling sound came from Su Chen’s body.
The room suddenly shone brightly. The Sea of Qi in his body suddenly shook, and endless Qi of Heaven and Earth surged into his body.
Boundless divine light shone brightly, illuminating the entire room.
The spiritual energy flowed out of Su Chen’s body, causing his body to undergo earth-shattering changes.
However…
Su Chen closed his eyes slightly and tried to feel the strength of a Level Eight Qi Sea Realm cultivator. Then, he focused his attention on the mysterious ball of light.
To him, the most important thing now was to have a grand-attainment-level earth-level martial art.
Su Chen sensed the mysterious ball of light in his mind. After carefully observing it, he muttered, “I have two earth-level middle-rank martial arts. So I have to make a choice?”
Su Chen had comprehended a total of two earth-level martial arts from the mysterious stone tablet, both of which were earth-level middle-rank.
One was Raging Sea and Thousand Waves, and the other was Crimson Flame Flowing Light Slash!
The former was overbearing and fierce, like the waves of the sea, each stronger than the other.
The latter was the same as the Star Shattering Slash, which was all about explosive power.
“Then I’ll choose the Crimson Flame Flowing Light Slash. I can keep it as a trump card.”
Su Chen thought about it again and again and finally chose the Crimson Flame Flowing Light Slash.
With a sudden inspiration, the mysterious light in his mind also turned into a deep cultivation insight.
Su Chen closed his eyes slightly, carefully comprehending the cultivation insight of the Crimson Flame Flowing Light Slash.
After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were burning as he looked at the void in front of him and muttered, “It is indeed an earth-level middle-rank martial art. With the grand-attainment-level Crimson Flame Flowing Light Slash, my current strength has increased by several times!”
Then, Su Chen came to the small courtyard and used the silver-white moonlight to unleash the Crimson Flame Flowing Light Slash.
A silent night passed
The next day.
The sky had just brightened when the entire Serene Tranquility Peak was packed with people.
Other than the inner sect disciples who were carrying out missions outside, the rest of the inner sect disciples were all present.
Many outer sect disciples also rushed over.
It had been less than a month since Su Chen became an inner disciple. In such a short period of time, he had leaped from an outer sect disciple to a core disciple.
With this speed alone, he had practically become a legend in the hearts of all the outer sect disciples!
In the crowd.
Cao Yun, He Jing, and other familiar outer sect disciples were standing there.
Many disciples discussed animatedly, expressing their own opinions and thoughts on the candidates who would become core disciples this year.
At this time, a green-robed figure suddenly appeared on a high platform.
With his appearance, the entire Serene Tranquility Peak instantly fell silent.
“1 hereby announce that this year’s core disciples competition of the Great Mystery Sect begins! The rules are the same as in previous years. No killing is allowed. The first to be knocked out of the arena will be considered a failure! The first round, Su Chen versus Xiong Ying!”
The green-robed elder was swift and decisive. He wasted no time in unnecessary words and directly announced the start of the competition.
After saying that, he turned around and came to the edge of the platform, but he did not leave immediately.
Because…
When many disciples attacked with their full strength, they could easily lose control of themselves. One careless moment would cause loss of life.
Therefore, it was very important to have an elder by the side at this time.
“It’s time! It’s finally starting!”
“In previous years, this battle should have been the finale. I didn’t expect it to be the first this year.”
“Hehe, Xiong Ying provoked Senior Brother Su Chen crazily yesterday. Today, I want to see how he will end this!”
“A mediocre person who has been cultivating in the inner sect for twenty years dares to provoke a genius who had entered the Forbidden Stage in the Qi Gathering Realm. I really don’t know where he got his confidence!”
“A demon like Senior Brother Su Chen doesn’t just have a fast cultivation speed!”
“Speaking of which, although Senior Brother Su Chen has top-notch strength and extraordinary talent, isn’t it a little too disadvantageous for him to fight Xiong Ying in the first round? Even if he wins, he will probably suffer a great loss of energy.”
“That’s right! Will others score a huge windfall?”
“No! Since Senior Brother Su Chen dares to fight Xiong Ying in the first round, he must have some confidence.”
The high platform was surrounded by disciples of the Great Mystery Sect.
Everyone was looking forward to it.
Ninety-nine percent of these disciples supported Su Chen.
Only one percent supported Xiong Ying, but they didn’t dare to say it out loud.
After all, the news of the inner and outer disciples arguing at Serene Tranquility Peak yesterday had spread throughout the entire sect. Everyone knew the horrific part of Su Chen’s supporters.
Especially the group of junior sisters led by He Jing, they were very good at talking.
The reason why Su Chen had so many supporters was because he had a good reputation.
On the other hand, Xiong Ying only had a few supporters, all because of his bad reputation.
Bang!
At this moment.
The high platform suddenly shook.
Immediately after.
A majestic figure descended from the sky and landed heavily in the middle of the high platform.
He carried the black iron rod on his back, his hair dancing in the wind. His entire body was filled with an explosive aura.
“Where’s Su Chen?”
Xiong Ying stood proudly on the high platform. His eyes were filled with disdain as he spoke in a flamboyant tone.
After cultivating for decades, he was still very shrewd.
He didn’t care about rumors. He even looked forward to it.
He was looking forward to defeating Su Chen. What would the expressions of these people who supported Su Chen be like?
Thinking of this, Xiong Ying could not suppress the excitement in his heart.
“I arrived long ago. It’s you who came too late!”
A gentle and calm voice came from behind Xiong Ying.
Xiong Ying was shocked when he heard this. He turned around abruptly, his face looking displeased.
He had been provoking Su Chen just now and did not notice that Su Chen had arrived behind him.
If Su Chen made his move, he would have been defeated by now!
Xiong Ying’s clumsy performance drew a burst of laughter from the audience.
The piercing laughter reached Xiong Ying’s ears, causing his expression to turn even uglier.
He didn’t think that Su Chen was giving him a chance by not attacking.
On the contrary, in his opinion, this seemed to be deliberately humiliating him!
Xiong Ying narrowed his eyes as he thought of this. He stared at Su Chen like a venomous snake and said coldly, “Very good… I hope you can remain so calm later!”
After saying that, he took a deep breath and took a step back..
