Chapter 102: Inner Gate Shakes (Below)

  The puzzled gaze of the disciples in the inner courtyard fell on Xuantian's body.

  Even Bai Zhanhe, Lin Wuying and Ma Tao were furrowed brows, greatly puzzled. Only Yang Dingjun alone, although his name was on the second tier, there was no joy on his face, expressionless, only with a slight twitch at the corner of his eyes.

  An idea suddenly emerged from the hearts of the disciples, and in an instant, many people couldn't help but take a cold breath. Their eyes shifted and fell on Ma Zhenru.

  Ma Zhenru's body suddenly rose, leaping over ten meters high, and directly arrived at the highest point of the first layer wall of Jian Ge. This is where the name of the first step is hung. Ma Zhenru stretched out his arm, and a wooden plaque with the word "Huang Tian" was hung on the back of the first step.

  Tianjian Guest, more than 400 inner disciples.

  Xuantian Jin entered the Xiantian realm not long ago, and had just stepped into the inner gate. He unexpectedly surpassed three to four hundred inner disciples, his name directly ranking on the first tier, in forty-ninth place!

  Dozens of inner disciples present, their eyes fixed straight ahead, in an instant, the entire scene was as quiet as a needle drop.

  One by one, they stared with wide eyes and open mouths, their expressions of shock and amazement perfectly capturing the reactions of the disciples present at the scene.

  Until Ma Zhenru floated down to the ground, all the inner disciples had just recovered from their stunned shock, but in their eyes, they still revealed endless surprise and fear.

  Looking at Xuan Tian, most of the inner sect disciples had no jealousy in their eyes, no envy, only reverence!

  When someone's achievements exceed one's own expected range, there is only admiration.

  Like Yang Dingjun, ranking second on the second tier, for many innate first-grade inner disciples, it is still within the expected range. So, for Yang Dingjun, they are both envious and jealous, wishing to replace him. As for Xuan Tian, there is no thought of replacing him at all, because all the innate first-grade disciples know that's impossible!

  Only a few disciples of the Innate Realm Second Layer looked at Xuan Tian, with flames of war burning in their eyes, mixed with envy and jealousy, just like the disciples of the Innate Realm First Layer who had previously looked at Yang Ding Jun.

  At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on Xuan Tian. Yang Ding Jun had already been forgotten by the inner disciples in the corner. "Congratulations, Huang Shidi, you actually passed the third layer of Jian Ge, it really exceeded our expectations!"

  "Huang Shidi, it's truly a pleasant surprise. We thought you could only make it through the second layer of Jianmen, but we overestimated you. Who would have thought that we actually underestimated you?"

  "Huang Shidi, you really are shocking!"

  Three voices sounded from behind Xuan Tian. He turned his head and saw that it was Feng Bu Zhi, Sun Yi Qiu and Gu Qian Rou.

  Xuantian smiled slightly and said, "I've made a fool of myself in front of three seniors."

  "Is it Fang Zhishang, Sun Yiqiu and Gu Qianrou? How do these three know Huang Tian?" Many inner disciples exclaimed.

  Feng Bu Zhi only had a cultivation base of the second level of the Innate Realm, but his ranking was 45th on the First Tier, and he was a figure who had passed the third layer of the Sword Pavilion, with a great reputation.

  Feng Buzhi, Sun Yiqiu and Gu Qianrou knew that Xuantian was going to challenge the Sword Pavilion today, so they came to watch. Xuantian killed the Ghost Shadow Swordsman of the Second Heaven Realm, thinking that Xuantian could pass the second layer of the Sword Pavilion, causing a stir in the inner sect.

  But the three of them never expected that this time, the disciple who broke through the second layer of Jian Ge was not one, but Yang Ding Jun, and not Xuan Tian. On the contrary, Xuan Tian broke through the third layer of Jian Ge. The news spread like wildfire, and it's not just the inner door that was stirred up, it will definitely be shaken to the core, just like when Chu Feng broke through the third layer of Jian Ge during his first heavenly tribulation.

  Chu Feng had charged through the third layer of the Sword Pavilion at the age of 13, two years younger than Xue Tian.

  However, Xuan Tian was at the 9th level of Wu Dao Realm three months ago and at the 4th level a year ago. The improvement in his cultivation has exceeded ordinary people's imagination. He just became an inner disciple and has already passed the third layer of Jian Ge.

  Chu Feng and Xuan Tian, who is more shocking, who has greater potential, benevolent people see benevolence, wise people see wisdom, each having their own opinions and views.

  All the inner disciples gathered around Xuantian, and Yang Dingjun, who was being ignored, secretly rejoiced in his heart. He immediately sneaked away to the outer periphery of the square.

  He has a bet with Xuan Tian and wants to escape quickly.

  However, others may have overlooked Yang Dingjun, but Xuan Tian has never neglected him.

  "Yang Ding Jun!"

  Yang Dingjun had just taken a step forward when Xuan Tian let out a loud roar.

  The voice drowned out all the noise, and the eyes of the inner door disciples turned to look at Yang Dingjun as soon as Xuan Tian shouted.

  Yang Dingjun furrowed his brow, seeing that Xuan Tian had discovered his intentions. He decided to make a break for it and escape first, rather than being slapped by Xuan Tian in front of so many inner sect disciples on the square, which would be a loss of face for him.

  The disciples of the inner sect were extremely surprised and didn't know why Yang Dingjun fled like a mouse seeing a cat after being scolded by Xuan Tian.

  However, Xuan Tian would not let him escape. With a burst of speed, he leapt over the inner disciples and landed with a stomp, executing the "Dragon Tiger Step". In an instant, his body shot forward dozens of meters, blocking Yang Ding Jun's path.

  "Yang Dingjun, the bet is not settled yet, do you think you can escape?" Xuan Tian glared at Yang Dingjun's eyes and shouted loudly.

  Yang Dingjun had already been defeated, and Xuan Tian didn't consider him an opponent, with no intention of dealing with him again. However, this bet was something Yang Dingjun insisted on, so since they had made the bet, how could Xuan Tian let it fall through?

  "What's going on with the bet?"

  All of the disciples in the inner courtyard were confused.

  Bai Zhanhe, Lin Wuying and Ma Tao, each in a different place, began to talk about the matter of Yang Dingjun forcing Xuan Tian to make a bet in Jianmen. The three were surrounded by inner door disciples, and soon all the disciples knew what had happened and why.

  Ma Zhenru was still watching from the side, and all the inner door disciples looked at him. Feng Buji asked: "Master Ma, is it true that the two of them made a bet?"

  Ma Zhenru nodded slightly. He didn't mean to stop him, and since Yang Dingjun had vowed to make a bet in the first place, he should bear the consequences of losing.

  Yang Dingjun now looks like a defeated fighting cock, hanging his head in shame, unable to escape. Now under the watchful eyes of everyone, all know about his bet with Xuan Tian. If he doesn't fulfill the bet, he will be ridiculed and lose all credibility; if he fulfills the bet, he will be even more mocked, losing all face.

  Xuantian coldly stared at Yang Dingjun and shouted: "If you're still a man, with even half a bit of masculinity, then obediently stick out your face."

  Yang Dingjun's face suddenly turned blood red, he had castrated himself and cultivated the "Pure Yang Skill" so he was no longer considered a man, but he had cultivated a body of pure yang energy, how could he endure being provoked by Xuan Tian like this?

  He closed his eyes, stretched out his neck and shouted: "I'm willing to bet on it, one slap, hurry up!"

  Bang!

  Yang Dingjun's words had just fallen when Xuan Tian took action without mercy, and a slap came over.

  Xuantian had not used his full strength, using only 10-20% of his power, but it was still over a thousand kilograms. Yang Dingjun felt as if a huge mountain had crashed into his face, and his body involuntarily flew in the direction Xuantian's palm had struck, spinning 720 degrees in mid-air before spitting out a mouthful of blood containing several teeth, landing ten meters away.

  "A person's value lies in self-awareness, remember this for next time, don't go looking for trouble!"

  Xuan Tian gave Yang Ding Jun a cold glance, his gaze falling on Ma Zhen Ru in the distance. He clasped his fists and said: "Elder Ma, I'm going to the Wu Ji Pavilion for a while, farewell!"

  Ma Zhenru nodded and said, "Go!"

  With that, he took out a medicine bottle and handed it to an inner disciple beside him. Then, he pointed at Yang Dingjun who was struggling to get up from the ground.

  "Farewell, Senior Brother Feng, Senior Brother Sun, and Senior Sister Gu! Junior Brother is leaving first!"

  Xuantian and Fengbuzhi called out to each other, then headed towards the Wugong Pavilion.

  The practice of Xuantian is a high-level practice of the Yellow Stage, "Pre-Heavenly Practice". After breaking through to the first level of Pre-Heavenly Realm, the high-level practice of the Yellow Stage has a very small effect on the cultivation of Pre-Heavenly True Qi.

  This month, Xuan Tian relied on the absorption of 'Low-grade True Qi Pill' and the refinement of 'Refining Qi Decision', as well as the remaining 'Pre-heavenly Seed' absorbing and refining, to thicken the Pre-heavenly True Qi in his body. He barely reached the first peak, and if he had a Xuan-level cultivation method, breaking through the second heavy boundary of the Heavenly Boundary wouldn't be difficult with enough 'Low-grade True Qi Pill'.

  Moreover, Xuantian's swordsmanship, apart from the "Absolute Shadow Sword Technique", only had a set of integrated "Pursuing Wind Nine Swords" which was far from enough. He also needed to find a set of Xuan-level sword techniques to cultivate, otherwise he would lack sword moves when facing enemies.

  Xuan Tian's current strength is formidable, with three main factors contributing to it: the speed of his 'Absolute Shadow Swordsmanship', the boundless power granted by his cultivation of the 'Nine Forging Technique', and his grasp of sword intent, which allows him to launch fierce attacks that can affect his opponents. If he were to cultivate a set of Xuan-level sword techniques, his strength would become even more solidified. Furthermore, if he were to cultivate Xuan-level techniques and increase his cultivation level, his strength would experience a qualitative growth.

  This trip to the Martial Arts Pavilion is very important!

  The Martial Arts Pavilion is not divided into inner and outer gates, there is only one gate. It's not far from the Heavenly Sword Peak of the Inner Gate. Soon, Xuan Tian arrived at the outside of the Martial Arts Pavilion. From the direction of the Inner Gate, there are stairs that can directly lead to the second floor of the Martial Arts Pavilion, without having to go through the first floor.

  There is also an elder of the Martial Arts Pavilion guarding here, and it is the inner gate elder. After Xuan Tian registered, he entered the Martial Arts Pavilion and came to the second floor.

  When Xuan Tian entered the Wuji Pavilion, Ma Zhenru also returned to the Inner Gate Personnel Hall. He had just sat down when an inner gate attendant came to report: "Elder Ma, Ling Zu Shi has summoned you!"

  Ling Zushi? 63 years ago, Xiantian boundary first-order repair, had passed the third layer of Jian Ge, left a name in the third layer of Jian Ge, now is Tianjian Sect's strongest expert Ling Yichen!

  Ma Zhen suddenly thought of the name of the giant head, Tianjian Sect, and said to himself: It seems that Huang Tian's news of passing through the third layer of Jian Ge has already fallen into Ling Zu Shi's ears.
