Chapter 109: Welcome Challenge (Part 1)
The fifth watch saw that the 'Low-grade True Qi Pill' on his body was getting less and less, Xuan Tian couldn't help but worry.
It will take a few more days to arrive at Dan Yao Tang and receive the new monthly Dan medicine reward. At that time, you can also buy another 'Low-grade True Qi Pill'.
However, this time the Xuantian Pre-Heaven Realm's second refinement has solidified, allowing him to learn mid-grade techniques and martial skills from the Mystic Stage. He must prepare himself for going out to complete sect tasks and earn merit points.
Leave the sect, go out for experience, complete sect tasks, time is long or short.
In general, within a month, they can usually return to their sect.
However, some sect tasks that earn more merit points have a relatively higher difficulty level and may take two or three months to complete before being able to return to the sect.
The vast land of China has a very thin heavenly energy, and martial artists directly absorb the heavenly energy to cultivate, which is extremely slow. Even if one is a genius, without elixirs, it's hard to achieve anything.
Rising hope is right in front of you, Xuantian naturally doesn't want to waste his cultivation time, he must ensure that he has elixirs for cultivation every day, so the reserve of elixirs is a must.
"Last time, Dan Yao Tang sold me 70 'Low-grade True Qi Pills', I wonder how many they can sell to me this time? Probably not more than last time, adding the ones on me, it's only around 100 pills, just enough for a month of cultivation. If the outing takes longer than a month, the elixir supply will be insufficient!"
"Where can I get some more of this medicine?"
Xuantian thought to himself, the lower-grade martial arts techniques of Xuantian Stage had already achieved some success, but it would be difficult to make progress in a short period of time. Xuantian began to think about the elixirs needed for his upcoming trip outside.
Suddenly, Xuan Tian's heart lit up and he thought of a good idea.
On this day, the wooden board outside 'Huang Tian Ge' suddenly changed the words carved on it.
From "Do Not Disturb" to "Welcome Challenge, Loser Gives One Low-Grade True Qi Pill".
Xuantian stood in the courtyard, a curved arc hooked at the corner of his mouth, thinking: Since you all want to challenge me, then I'll let you challenge enough!
For nearly a month, every time Xuan Tian went to Yin Sheng Tang for meals, there would be some innate second-level disciples who came to challenge him. However, due to his busy cultivation, Xuan Tian refused each of them. Later on, Xuan Tian even spent some silver coins every day to ask the disciples of Yin Sheng Tang to deliver food to 'Huang Tian Ge', in order to avoid meeting those disciples who would come to challenge him as soon as they saw him.
It was too much to challenge his disciples, and Xuan Tian didn't have the heart to try them one by one. However, if he won, he could get a 'Low-grade True Qi Pill'!
"Heh heh......! I didn't think of it before, but it seems like it wouldn't be bad to try competing with them!" Xuan Tian said to himself with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
After a while, Xuan Tian put away his smile, concentrated his mind and body, and suddenly moved forward like a ghostly shadow, floating out ten meters.
In the following days, Xuan Tian waited in the courtyard for people to come and challenge him, meanwhile, he practiced the Ghost Shadow Divine Movement, a lightness skill from the Ghost Shadow Swordsman.
"Ghost Shadow Divine Movement" although only half a book, records the cultivation methods of the first three levels. The third level is actually the middle-grade lightness skill of the Mysterious Stage, and cultivating to the third level is even faster than the "Dragon Tiger Step" of the Great Completion Realm.
Of course, the most important thing is that in "Ghost Shadow", a combat step called "Ghost Shadow Soul Step" can actually create illusions to confuse enemies, and its effect on the enemy is enormous. It's even possible to use this step to achieve victory with weakness over strength, which is very mysterious.
Xuantian mainly cultivates the "Ghost Shadow Soul Stepping" in the "Ghost Shadow Divine Movement".
The courtyard is thirty meters wide and over forty meters long, with walls on all sides. As soon as Xuan Tian closes the main gate, no one can see inside. The space for practicing lightness kung fu is too small, but it's just right for practicing "Ghost Shadow Soul Stepping".
Although 'Huang Tian Ge' is not located on the main road where inner door disciples come and go, occasionally passing by inner door disciples also have some.
Today, the wooden board outside Xuan Tian's place had its inscription changed to 'Welcome Challenge'. Soon, passing inner door disciples saw it and spread the news to other inner door disciples.
Less than half an hour had passed, and outside the 'Huang Tian Pavilion', someone was heard shouting: "Huang Tian, brother Lei Mingjiang, second step, ranking 96, come to challenge!"
Xuántiān stopped practicing 'Ghost Shadow Soul Step', his body swayed and he appeared beside the door.
The gate creaked open and Xuan Tian walked out.
Outside of Huang Tian Ge, more than twenty inner disciples have gathered. They all heard the news and came to watch the excitement. Most of them are at the first level of Xiantian cultivation.
The news of Xuantian's victory over Sishun Cang and Yang Wei had already spread among the inner door disciples, and everyone knew that Xuantian was able to defeat his opponents with ease. As a result, none of the first-level Heaven Chosen inner door disciples dared to challenge him anymore.
Most of the congenital second-class disciples were very dissatisfied. The Tianjian Sect had a Chu Feng who could challenge and defeat 90% of the disciples in a higher realm, which was already frustrating enough for the other disciples. Now that Xuantian has emerged, it seems he will trample them again, how can they be willing to accept this?
Yang Wei and Si Shun Cang, in the second echelon, one ranked 108th and the other 139th, both outside the top hundred, among the disciples of the Innate Realm Second Layer, belonged to the lower stream.
Xuantian may have defeated Yang Wei and Si Shun Cang, but in the second tier, all of the top 100 pre-heavenly two-level disciples do not think Xuantian has the strength to defeat them. They all want to challenge Xuantian and beat him to prove that Xuantian's super challenge can only go as far as the top 100 of the second tier.
The top 100 of the second tier should be separated from the next 100, as this is their honor. After all, some of the disciples behind them were defeated by Xuan Tian, so they naturally want to raise themselves one level higher and distinguish themselves from others.
Not only the second-grade disciples in the top 100, but even the 107th place, are always thinking of challenging Xuan Tian to prove themselves, and Yang Wei in 108th place is completely on a different level.
Even the second-generation disciples of Xiantian who ranked after Yang Wei had a heart for a battle with Xuántiān.
The Xiantian Sect has many second-generation disciples, and the ranking on the Jiange Ranking List is not necessarily completely accurate. Time is changing, and the strength of the disciples is also changing. It's possible for a disciple in the back to suddenly burst out with power and surpass the top ten or twenty names in an instant.
So, when Xuan Tian was eating in the Dining Hall, almost all of the First Heaven Realm Second Grade disciples saw flames of war burning in his eyes.
Xuantian stepped out of the 'Huangtian Pavilion', his eyes fell on a disciple standing alone in front of the 'Huangtian Pavilion': "Are you Li Mingjiang?"
This person is about twenty years old and has a cultivation of Second Heaven True Immortal. The aura emanating from his body is much stronger than Yang Wei's.
Li Ming Jiang nodded and said, "That's right, Huang Tian Shidi. I've heard that you don't respect your senior brother. This is unacceptable. Today, I'll let you know that I, Li Ming Jiang, am not someone to be trifled with like some others."
Xuantian's mouth twitched and he said, "The loser will give one 'Low-grade True Qi Pill'."
"Good!" replied Jiang Liming readily.
Although the 'Lower Grade True Qi Pill' is not cheap, there's only one pill, and for a pre-heavenly second-grade disciple, it's nothing.
Xuántiān zhèng shì zhīdào zhège diǎn, dànshì, yī kē suàn bù liǎo shénme, yī rén yī kē, jīlěi qǐlái jiù fēicháng kěguān le.
"Make your move!" Xuantian said, drawing out the 'Initial Blue Sword'.
"Look at the sword!"
Li Ming Jiang heard this and suddenly drew his sword from its scabbard. A crimson blade flashed towards Xuan Tian.
Fire-type sword technique, Scarlet Flame Sword Method!
Lí Míng Jiāng's cultivation method is also a fire-based method - True Fire Xuan Gong!
Xuān Tiān similarly operated the 'Nine Flame Mysterious Fire Technique', unleashing the 'Fierce Fire Burning Heaven Sword', welcoming him with a force that controlled his power to a realm similar to Lí Míng Jiāng's, only slightly stronger.
If the overly powerful defeated Lí Mèng Jiāng, then the disciples who were ranked similarly to Lí Mèng Jiāng would not dare to compete with Xuán Tiān again. What Xuán Tiān needed was not how to defeat his opponents, but rather to defeat his opponents and win the "Lower Grade True Qi Pill".
So, there's no need to show off too much strength, nor is it necessary to beat the opponent too badly. No grudges, no grievances, and the other party isn't even a person of Chu Feng's caliber, yet they're deliberately looking for trouble with him. This is just a challenge!
After ten moves, Xuantian found a flaw in Liming Jiang's defense and took advantage of it when his opponent was off guard. The 'Initial Blue Sword' stabbed at his throat in an unusual manner, narrowly defeating Liming Jiang with great difficulty.
Dawn River was defeated, but he felt very depressed in his heart. In his opinion, the strength of Xuan Tian was almost the same as his own. It was just that his strength had not been fully utilized and exposed a flaw, so he was defeated by Xuan Tian. If it wasn't for his carelessness, if they continued to fight, his chances of winning would be at least 50% or more!
Even Lian Mingjiang himself thought so, and other disciples who were watching the battle also believed that Xuan Tian's strength was nothing more than this.
The news that Xuan Tian has hung out a challenge plaque has basically spread, and the number of disciples coming to "Huang Tian Ge" is increasing. During the battle between Xuan Tian and Li Ming Jiang, more than 20 inner door disciples rushed over, many of whom were second-level pre-heavenly boundary disciples who came to challenge Xuan Tian.
At the unexpected defeat of Lí Mín Jiāng, two disciples who were ranked even lower than him stirred with ambition, wanting to challenge Xuán Tiān and engage in a battle with him.
The sword tip of 'Chu Lán Jiàn' revealed a scorching fire attribute innate true energy, causing Lí Míng Jiāng's throat to feel a wave of heat.
"One 'Low-grade True Qi Pill', Junior Brother Jiang at dawn!"
Xuantian sheathed his 'Initial Blue Sword' with a clang and gazed out at the dawn-lit river, smiling faintly.
"I don't accept it, I want to challenge you again, I want to fight with you once more. It was my mistake earlier!" Li Ming Jiang panted heavily and said, he was actually defeated because of his own flaw, which made him very depressed.
Xuantian Dao: "Same day, same opponent, I only accept one challenge. If you want to fight again, first bring the 'Low-grade True Qi Pill' that you lost, and come back tomorrow."
"Alright, wait for me tomorrow!"
At dawn, Jiang took out a 'Low-grade True Qi Pill' and threw it over, holding back a mouthful of air, and said indignantly.
"Huang Tian, I'm Qian Feng, ranked 99th on the second tier, and I challenge you!"
Just as Li Ming Jiang had just handed over the 'Low-grade True Qi Pill', a voice came from the crowd of people beside him, and someone walked out, another pre-heavenly realm second-level disciple.
