If a martial practitioner could not improve even the slightest bit due to the restrictions of their age, as long as they consumed the Hidden Dragon Pellet, they would be able to unearth even more potential and perhaps break through.
Elder Huo was in such an awkward situation. He had been in the 7th level of the Genuine Force for dozens of years and had not made any progress since then. He knew very well that his own potential had already been excavated to the end. Unless he met some pill that could develop his potential, he would never be able to break through to the 8th level of the Genuine Force!
However, it was extremely difficult to find precious rank medicinal pellets, so the Elder Huo had not been able to obtain any.
Only, he didn't expect that the disciple who came with Tian Dao Sect to train with him today would be able to give him a Hidden Dragon Pellet so casually!
This warecious pill!
Elder Huo didn't hesitate at all as he received the Hidden Dragon Pellet. The anger on his face instantly vanished, but he still maintained a straight face and said: "Alright, I won't speak anymore nonsense, let this matter pass."
With that, Elder Huo walked forward with his hands behind his back.
Xu Zhiheng was dumbstruck, the normally hot-tempered Elder Huo unexpectedly did not cause trouble for Chu Yun!
What kind of pill did Junior Chu send just now? It could actually quell Elder Huo's belly full of anger. It was truly inconceivable.
Due to the angle, the others did not see what Chu Yun was giving them, nor did they hear what the two had said. Therefore, their attitude towards the Elder Huo took a 180 degree turn and was very difficult to decipher.
Chapter 125 - Hatred in Heart
"Senior Brother, what disease has Elder Huo suffered today?"
"I don't know. Shh, lower your voice!"
"How strange!" If it was us who were late, Elder Huo would definitely stop and scold us non-stop for a long time! "
The disciples of the Sunscorch Sect all had weird expressions and were whispering to each other.
Of course they weren't clear, Chu Yun had directly given Elder Huo a Hidden Dragon Pellet, which was precisely the pellet that Elder Huo had desperately requested for!
Even though Sunscorch Sect was a middle ranking sect, they didn't have much precious medicinal pellets left in the sect, and there were only a handful of them. Furthermore, the Hidden Dragon Pellet warized item that everyone wanted, so even though Elder Huo was an elder, it was not his turn. Who would have thought that they would actually bump into each other today!
Therefore, the Elder Huo was very polite to Chu Yun. How could it be easy to give him a precious pellet as a gift?
However, this brat's cultivation level was indeed not high, only at the sixth stage of Qi Transformation. He did not know why the Tian Dao Sect had sent him here, could he be a seeded participant from the Tian Dao Sect?
A Qi Transformation stage warrior entering the Thunder Swamp would be extremely dangerous, with no chance of survival. Even if he gave him pills, he should have the intention of begging her to take care of him.
Elder Huo led a dozen or so disciples and walked straight to a large door made of sand and stone. The door was surrounded by mysterious runes that emitted a dense Qi, and the edges of the surrounding area were filled with the sizzling of small lightning. It was the portal to the Thunder Swamp.
There were two old men standing in front of the gate. They should be the guards of Thunder Swamp, when they saw Elder Huo coming over, they too nodded their heads in acknowledgement.
"After you open the gate of the Thunder Swamp, I will go in first. All of you follow behind me!"
Elder Huo's eyes swept across the disciples, his gaze was stern.
"Yes, Elder Huo!"
Many of the Sunscorch Sect disciples hurriedly nodded.
"Hmm?"
The Elder Huo's gaze finally landed on the Great Sage, who was standing behind Chu Yun. A hint of doubt quickly flashed in his eyes and he could not help but snort, "What do you mean by bringing a beast over?"
"Elder Huo, this is a beast pet that this junior tamed, following me closely all day, I hope that elder will allow me to bring it with me!"
Chu Yun knew that the Elder Huo's attitude could decide everything, so he opened his mouth first. His expression was sincere, as if he was begging for your help.
Before the Elder Huo had even spoken, a young man laughed coldly and shook his head, "What kind of joke is this? Do you know how precious the quota for entering the Thunder Fog is? What's more, your Tian Dao Sect only said that they would send a seeded participant, what's wrong with bringing a demon beast in? "
The young man was high up in the sky, his eyes filled with disdain.
"Gong Yanjie, say less!"
Xu Zhiheng shook his head in dissatisfaction: "This slot was purposely given to Tian Dao Sect. Even if Junior Chu was not here, it would not have been your younger brother Gong Yanning's turn!"
"Creak!"
The young man who was called a court hero suddenly clenched his fists, and said with an ice-cold look in his eyes: "Xu Zhiheng, why are you speaking up for the outer sect disciples?"
"I'm just stating the facts."
Xu Zhiheng wasn't afraid of Gong Yanjie at all, and what he said sounded rather casual as well.
"Good, good!"
Gong Yanjie glanced at Chu Yun with cold eyes, and laughed coldly: "Our Sunscorch Sect has been merciful enough to let you come to the Thunder Swamp to try out your skills, yet you still want to bring a beast pet inside. Are all the disciples of the Tian Dao Sect like you for not following the rules?"
"Right, we shouldn't have let him in. the smelly brat from Tian Dao Sect! "
The disciples by Gong Yanjie's side also joined in the clamor.
"Our sect said they would send a disciple, and you all agreed to it. Now that I'm here, you guys are humiliating me again and again.
Chu Yun's face was expressionless. Facing the oppression in Gong Yanjie's words, he was not nervous in the slightest and actually started questioning him.
"Hehehe, what a joke. Who do you think you are to be addressed as a customer?"
When Gong Yanjie saw that Chu Yun actually dared to retaliate, he was exceptionally furious. This brat truly did not know his place, and did not even look around to see what kind of place he was at.
There werotal of fifteen spots in the Thunder Swamp. They were chosen based on the top fifteen spots in the previous experiential learning.
Originally, Gong Yanjie only thought it waity. If his brother had worked even harder, he would definitely have made it in, but the result was not what he had hoped for. However, when he found out that Tian Dao Sect would send a disciple over temporarily, he could not help but feel extremely angry. Why did the sect allow a foreign disciple to participate in the Thunder Swamp trial? If there was an extra spot, wouldn't it be just right for him to give his younger brother, who was placed 16th?
From Gong Yanjie's point of view, it was Chu Yun's existence that had seized the position that originally belonged to his little brother. In reality, the fifteen spots had already been filled, and the additional spots did not have anything to do with Gong Yan Ning.
But Gong Yanjie did not think that way, it was precisely because of this that he looked at Chu Yun with such hatred.
"I only ask you one question, are demonic beasts considered humans?"
Chu Yun's tone was calm, there was not a single ripple in his voice.
"..."
The many disciples of Sunscorch Sect looked at each other. Definitely not!
"Don't force your way through the concepts. The beast pet and you are two separate entities? We can let you in, but why should we let your beast pet in? "
Gong Yanjie's expression instantly changed, but he still fiercely argued.
Chu Yun did not panic and said with a smile: "You all need to be clear about one thing, beast pets are tools used to assist warriors, they are actually the same as the Martial Spir
it, spatial ring, pills, talismans and so on."
Pausing for a moment, Chu Yun continued: "Firstly, it is nouman, so it does not occupy a spot. In theory, our Tian Dao Sect's spot alone is not against the rules; secondly, it is my beast pet, and is my personal item. If you strongly oppose me bringing in my tamed beast and say that we are independent, then your clothes and mine are independent as well! I can go in without a beast pet, but can you take off your clothes first? "
Chu Yun's argument stunned Gong Yanjie for a moment, and made him unable to react.
The other disciples also frowned. You don't have to say, if you think about it carefully, it does make a bit of sense.
"You … "You are just spouting nonsense!"
Gong Yanjie was so angry that he almost vomited blood. In terms of verbal skills, even if he slapped the horse, he wouldn't be able to catch up to Chu Yun.
"If you have nothing to say, then shut up!"
Chu Yun laughed in disdain.
"Brat, you are courting death!"
Gong Yanjie was furious, he took a step forward and was about to attack, but Elder Huo who had been silent all this while suddenly raised his head, his eyes were like an eagle's, staring straight at Gong Yanjie.
This gaze was like lightning striking at his chest, causing his face to turn pale with fright. He hurriedly lowered his head and retreated, trying to speak subserviently.
"Indeed, pets do not occupy a spot. This is a small loophole in the rules, I have to fix it in the future! "
Elder Huo glanced at Chu Yun with a slightly complicated expression. When he said these words, they were more or less affected by the Hidden Dragon Pellet from before, so he subconsciously spoke up for Chu Yun. As for the last sentence, it was directed towards the two elders who were guarding the Thunder Swamp.
"Elder Huo is right!"
The two elders nodded their heads.
Gong Yanjie was shocked, he never thought that Elder Huo would actually not approve of him, and instead agree to the conditions of that brat bringing demon beasts in. He felt that it was a bit shameful, as if he had been slapped in the face.
He glared at Chu Yun viciously and swore in his heart that he would make this brat pay the price once he entered the Thunder Swamp.
The Great Sage heard all of these people's conversations. When he knew that he could enter, he also cried out twice with an excited expression.
The Elder Huo looked at the Great Sage in surprise. This monkey seemed to understand human nature, so he did not think too much and waved his hand, "Open the Thunder Swamp!"
The two elders immediately took action, their palms containing a hint of lightning. After they crossed each other, a distinct bolt of lightning suddenly appeared, and with a crackling sound, it was injected into the profound light by the door.
"Hu!"
A gale arose on the ground as thunder rumbled and lightning crisscrossed. Surging lightning bolts that could be seen with the naked eye shot out in all directions.
Elder Huo stood in front of the door with his hands behind his back, allowing the lightning to approach. The extremely destructive lightning did not even leavrace on his body and just flowed away like the wind.
"Open!"
The two elders simultaneously shook their arms. Dense light began to intersect with each other and finally formed an energy barrier within the door.
With the separation of the energy barrier, the portal to the Thunder Swamp was completely opened!
Elder Huo put his hands behind his back, as his figure entered the room.
Seeing the Elder Huo walk in first, Gong Yanjie sneered at Chu Yun, and threatened: "With your strength at the Qi Transformation Stage, you should think of a way to survive!"
After he finished speaking, Gong Yanjie madhroat slitting motion, and arrogantly walked into the portal.
Behind him, a few disciples followed, and none of them gave Chu Yun a good look.
Seeing this scene, Xu Zhiheng took the initiative to pat Chu Yun on the shoulder and say, "Junior Brother Chu, don't be afraid. When we get inside, Elder Huo will be in charge of your safety!"
Chu Yun did not have any fear in the first place, but after hearing Xu Zhiheng's words, he still smiled: "Thank you, Senior Brother Xu, for speaking up for justice."
Forget about the Great Sage, this killing machine, even if he did not have it, with Chu Yun's own strength, he would not be afraid of Gong Yanjie!
Gong Yanjie had just levelled up in Genuine Force, so he was far inferior to Yu Hang. Chu Yun might not be his match, but in terms of fighting strength, he definitely would not lose to Gong Yanjie!
If Gong Yanjie insisted on fighting with him, then he would also be happy to be at ease, and have a Genuine Force to spar with!
When all the disciples had entered the portal, Chu Yun and the Great Sage looked at each other, then walked in with their chests held high.
The trial of Thunder Swamp had officially begun!
Chapter 126 - With him, or with me.
After entering the teleportation gate, before Chu Yun even had the time to open his eyes, he felt a strong gust of wind that was filled with a strong fishy smell. The smell was likotten corpse mixed in with the sea breeze, making people feel like they were stuck in a fortress.
"Crackle!"
The lightning in the sky suddenly flashed past likuge dragon, fleeting for a moment before a deafening sound broke through the heavens, almost shattering one's eardrums.
"Hualala!"
A thin layer of rain dripped down from the sky onto his body, making him feel very uncomfortable.
Chu Yun slowly opened his eyes and realized that he was standing in a dark world wituge full moon hanging in the sky. Thunder, rain, and a rotten stench together created the scene in front of him.
The ground they stepped on was a few rare lands. Looking ahead, there were countless swamps.
"Is this the Thunder Fog?"
"Before I came here, I already heard from senior that there are many fierce demon beasts in the swamp. When we cross the swamp later, we must be fast. We must not stay here for more than three seconds!"
"Eh, where is Elder Huo?"
"That's right, wasn't Elder Huo the first to enter?"
The more than ten disciples of Sunscorch Sect looked around, but they did not see any signs of Elder Huo.
Xu Zhiheng smiled faintly: "Since this iest, we have to break away from its protection. If Elder Huo is by our side, it would even restrict our freedom of movement … …"
"What senior brother Xu said is right. Although the Thunder Fog Swamp is dangerous, as long as we can unite together, nothing will happen to it!"
A short girl smiled sweetly. She was the only girl in the group with two dimples on her face, making it easy for people to get a good impression of her.
"Is the Elder Huo not here?"
The corner of Gong Yanjie's mouth raised into a cruel smile, he suddenly turned and stared at Chu Yun: "Kid, don't worry, during this time in the Thunder Swamp, I will slowly play with you!"
Chu Yun curled his lips and spread open his hands. Obviously, he did not take Gong Yanjie's threat to heart.
"I suggest that we definitely should not split up. If everyone gets together, the danger will be reduced a lot! Everyone, what do you think?
It was that young girl with dimples again. She had a beautiful face, and her words made it impossible for anyone to refuse her.
"I agree with Junior Peach's opinion!"
Xu Zhiheng raised his hand first.
"I agree as well!"
Many disciples directly raised their hands without even thinking.
"I don't agree!"
Gong Yanjie said in a strange tone: "Among us fifteen, we are all in the same Genuine Force, and we are all in the same sect, where we help each other out and benefit from each other, which is normal. But for some people whose strength is trash, they would try to shamelessly stay within our team, what is this? Isn't this a burden? "
"That's right! The Thu
nder Swamp itself is already very dangerous, we can't even separate a God to take care of it! "
The disciples beside Gong Yanjie voiced their agreement.
Although he did not call out his name, everyone knew that Gong Yanjie's target was no other than Chu Yun.
Junior Daughter was a bit helpless, and could only speak in a good tone: "Senior brother Gong, since everyone is here together, then we're all partners, what grievances can't we wait to speak of? Everyone is well aware of the dangers of the Thunder Fog Swamp. If you are not careful, you could end up with a complete wipeout! "
Gong Yanjie's eyes swept greedily over the beautiful body of the Peach Junior Sister, and then smiled. He pointed at Chu Yun and said word by word, "I'll give all of you a choice, follow him, or follow me! Anyways, I, Gong Yanjie will definitely not bring this piece of trash along with me to the Thunder Swamp to train! "
"You!"
Junior Peach was shocked, as she never expected that Gong Yanjie would be so overbearing.
All the disciples looked at each other. If they had to choose based on logic, they would definitely follow Gong Yanjie. Although everyone was at the first stage of Qi Condensation, because of Gong Yanjie's mutated martial spirit, his combat power was the highest among everyone, so the chances of survival following him was also higher!
As for Chu Yun who was from Tian Dao Sect, he was truly pitiful at the sixth stage of Qi Transformation. He did not even have the strength to protect himself, and needed to be protected by others at all times.
However, these disciples had received a good education since childhood and could not bear to abandon their companion like this.
Chu Yun could see that Gong Yanjie was deliberately taking revenge on his own, but his methods were just too childish.
Seeing the difficult expressions on the disciples' faces, Chu Yun took the initiative to laugh: "Since Senior Brother Gong isn't willing to go with me, then I'll go alone!"
"That won't do. Junior Chu is a guest and we are the masters. How can we leave you behind alone? I'll go with you! "
A hint of disgust flashed past Xu Zhiheng's eyes. He glared at Gong Yanjie and took the initiative to walk to his side.
