"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Chu Yun's face contorted and he could not help but roar out.
The skin all over his body was torn open, but the spirit energy that rushed into his body did not stop flowing into his meridians, nourishing his flesh and bones, expanding his meridians, strengthening his bones!
Every minute, every second, Chu Yun's body was becoming stronger and the amount of spirit energy he was refining was also increasing.
This warocess of ascension, but at the same time, it was alsrocess of suffering.
"My consciousness is starting to blur …"
Chu Yun felt darkness in front of his eyes, and his eyelids felt so heavy that he couldn't lift them at all.
"This won't do. In the first two trials, I broke through my limits time after time. I've already given my all. If I die in the last trial, wouldn't that mean all my previous efforts would be for naught? "
Chu Yun fiercely gritted his teeth, and after a short moment of making a decision, he made a bold decision.
That was to break through to the next realm!
He would refine all the endless spiritual energy that had entered his body, and then charge to an even higher realm!
Chu Yun gave it his best, using his last bit of consciousness to control the spirit energy to charge into a new realm.
"Coo, coo, coo!"
The spiritual energy in his meridians boiled and roared like raging flood. With a boom, they broke through the shackles of cultivation realm.
Ninth level of Qi Condensation!
Chu Yun's body's meridians instantly expanded by three points, the pressure on his body that was almost unable to take it suddenly decreased by several times, and the pain immediately disappeared.
After reaching the ninth stage of Qi Condensation, Chu Yun's speed of refining spirit energy had clearly increased by quite a bit, and the limit of what his body could endure had increased by a large amount!
However, this was not the end. The spiritual energy in the pool was still raging, pouring into his body.
After a few breaths, Chu Yun once again felt his body expanding. The small bottle in his hand was once again filled with spirit energy!
"Boom!"
The supreme battle spirit suddenly appeared, its body was shining with a cold black light. Unexpectedly, it had uncontrollably increased its strength by one level, reaching the third level of the Profound Rank.
"I didn't expect that even after raising my cultivation realm, I wouldn't be able to withstand sucowerful infusion of spiritual energy..."
Chu Yun clenched his teeth and roared: "Since it's not enough, then I will charge again, rush again! If the ninth level of Qi Condensation wasn't enough, then he would reach the tenth level! Ten levels is not enough, 1st level of the Genuine Force! "
Refining!
Crazy refinement!
Chu Yun's unyielding will and unwillingness to give in to such a fighting spirit forcefully supported his body.
Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that refining spiritual energy would also be painful to such an extent.
Finally, in the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Chu Yun felt the shackles loosen up once again.
Tenth level of Qi Condensation!
The moment he levelled up to the tenth stage of Qi transformation, Chu Yun felt as if the spirit energy in his body was being sucked out of him by a whale.
Even then, the speed at which the Spirit Qi poured in had slowed down, the engravings on the walls of the pool had become dim, Chu Yun's consciousness that was struggling to hold on had finally relaxed.
"This can be considered as... Can you hold on? "
Chu Yun spat out a mouthful of blood, his voice was hoarse, he forcefully turned his head to look at the bones, and laughed: "Brother, I have not lived enough, I do not wish to stay here to accompany you!"
After saying that, tiredness washed over him like floodwaters, Chu Yun's eyelids shut tightly as he tilted his head and fell asleep.
This sleep of his lasted for three days.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already three days later. From the beginning to the end, it was as if he had been dreaming, and it caused an extremely surreal feeling to rise from the bottom of Chu Yun's heart.
In the center of the pool, countless dark engravings formed a simple teleportation array, glowing softly.
This teleportation formation was exactly the same as when he entered.
"The third test, is... "He can bear it!"
Recalling the pain he experienced three days ago, Chu Yun couldn't help but shiver. He never wanted to experience the feeling of having his body forcefully broken.
The spirit energy that gushed out from the pool was the purest form of the world's spirit energy. It was much purer than the spirit energy that was brought about by the elixirs and elixirs!
Logically speaking, the third stage was equivalent to giving you gifts. The longer you persisted, the greater the improvement.
Not only was there an increase in realm, there was also an increase in body, will, and soul.
Of course, the prerequisite was that you had to persevere, not get blown apart by the spiritual energy.
Those skeletons should be martial artists that couldn't withstand it halfway. They had finally reached the third stage with great difficulty, but they died after being injected with spiritual qi. It was really … Grief!
But having said that, even Chu Yun's body, which was comparable to a normal dragon's, was almost unable to hold on.
The tenth stage of Qi Transformation, the third stage of the Profound Ranked Martial Saint's soul, the improved martial skills, and the Berserk Dragon Blade Art that he was getting more and more familiar with … Compared to before, Chu Yun was more than twice as strong!
And all of this was thanks to the Dragon Gate!
Chu Yun took a deep breath, unable to conceal his excitement. It looks like the gift and great gift that Ye Xuan mentioned was really not a lie.
"I've been in here for quite some time, I should be getting out of here as soon as possible!"
Chu Yun stepped into the teleportation circle.
Chapter 168 - The Battle of the First Banner
"Senior-apprentice Brother, thank you!"
Heavenly Candle Peak, on the stage.
A handsome youth smiled and withdrew his Martial Spirit.
Opposite him stood a young man with a stiff expression. He looked down at his chest in disbelief, only to see that the clothes in front of his chest had been completely torn and his skin was slightly charred.
"I... "I've lost..."
The youth's voice was hoarse and his face was ashen.
He had lost, and he had lost so cleanly, without any complaints.
If the youth had not dispelled this move in time, his body might have been penetrated!
Speaking of which, it was the youth who showed mercy.
"How could this be? He's only a new disciple that has been in the sect for three days, how could this be …"
The youth still could not believe it.
His battle prowess was ranked in the top thirty of the Tian Dao Sect's core disciples. If he was defeated by a new disciple, perhaps it could be described as overturning a boat in a ditch, but to be defeated by a single move of the opponent, wasn't that a little too exaggerated?
Could it be that this sixteen year old youngster in front of him is even more monstrous than Senior Brother Chu Yun?
At least, it was his martial spirit.
The young man could not accept this, but it was the truth. He could only gloomily swallow the bitter fruit of his defeat.
"Hiss!"
All of the surrounding disciples sucked in a breath of cold air as they looked at the young man with shocked expressions.
"This kid, just what is his background?"
A core disciple was dumbstruck.
"Don't you know that he is a new disciple who just joined three days ago. He was chosen by the elders during the new dis
ciples' experiential learning and made an exception for the promotion to a core disciple!"
The disciple beside him explained.
"Is it Clan Elder Zi Xian?"
"No, Elder Zi Xian hasn't appeared for two months. Elder Qiao Long is currently guarding the Beast Confinement Hall."
"Wait a minute, let me reorganize my thoughts. This kid just joined the sect three days ago and was promoted to a core disciple by Elder Qiao Long during the freshmen experiential learning, right?"
"Yes!"
"Our sect just released the comprehensive fighting strength list of the core disciples yesterday. It listotal of thirty of the strongest core disciples. "This kid didn't make it into the rankings, so today he chose Zhang Can, who's at the end of the rankings. Moreover, he defeated him with a single move and completely replaced him, right?"
"No …." "That's right."
"F * ck, when did our sect produce such a genius?"
Not only were these two disciples dumbstruck, even all of the spectating disciples were completely shocked by what they saw.
He'd been promoted to a core disciple at the age of only sixteen, and had defeated Zhang Can, the thirtieth ranked disciple in one move, on the third day he'd entered the sect, replacing him.
The most important thing was his monstrous martial spirit!
It waowerful martial skill that surpassed everyone's expectations.
The beginning of this youth's rise was even more breathtaking than Chu Yun!
The young man seemed to be very satisfied with the shocked mood of the disciples below. He smiled lightly, turned around, and walked down from the stage. Without saying a word, he left in a natural and unrestrained manner.
"He... What Martial Spirit did you reveal just now? I didn't see it clearly. "
"I didn't see it clearly either. It was too fast!"
"All I know is that his martial skill is extremely powerful. Zhang Can't even withstand one move from him!"
"To defeat Zhang Can at the age of sixteen, what a monster!"
"There's nothing we can do about it. He purposely conceals his martial spirit and cultivation level. We can't tell how strong he is at all."
Many core disciples were discussing in low voices. What they saw today was simply too shocking.
Why would a monstrous genius with sucalent choose a Tian Dao Sect with only a lowly sect?
As long as he wanted to, even superior sects would welcome him!
But he still resolutely chose the Tian Dao Sect.
Why was that?
… ….
The second day, was also the fourth day for the youth to enter Tian Dao Sect.
It was still the same stage on Heavenly Candle Peak, and he still lost by one move.
"Senior Brother, thank you."
The youth's tone was very indifferent. The smile on his face was not very obvious, as if defeating his opponent wasn't worth being happy about.
The young man opposite of the youth was like Zhang Can from yesterday, and his expression was stiff as if he couldn't believe everything that had happened.
This time, the youth didn't linger and elegantly turned around to leave.
The young man was left standing on the spot in a daze, holding the treasured saber in his hand like a soulless shell.
In fact, he had only just released his Martial Spirit when the youth's attack arrived, defeating him in one move without any suspense.
Fast, simply too fast!
It was so fast that even the naked eye could not see his speed clearly!
After a few seconds of silence, the countless disciples standing below the arena broke out in an uproar.
"One move, another move!"
"Oh god, am I dreaming?"
"Yesterday, the one who challenged the 30th place on the overall fighting strength ranking, Zhang Can, was changed to the 29th place, Su Dong …"
"With his strength, challenging the top twenty or even the top ten wouldn't broblem, right? Why challenge them one by one from the back? I should change positions and think about the feelings of those seniors at the end of the ranking. To be defeated by a new budding disciple in a single move, that would be really embarrassing! "
There were also disciples who stood up for Su Dong on the stage.
"You're not as skilled as others, you deserve to lose face!"
"Stop making sarcastic remarks here, why don't you go up and try it out with him?"
"Tsk, it's not like I'm on the overall core disciple combat strength ranking. Others have no reason to challenge me!"
… ….
Fifth day after the youth entered the Tian Dao Sect.
He challenged another core disciple, and as expected, he was ranked twenty-eighth on the overall fighting strength ranking.
One move, another move!
After defeating his opponent, the youth flew away.
This time, many disciples were able to find out the youth's identity.
The young man's name was Xiao Tianchen, and his age sixteen, identity unknown, origin unknown, martial spirit unknown, realm unknown!
It was truly because this youth's strength was too strong. No matter who it was, this youth would be killed in a single strike. In such a short battle, it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
The only thing he could be sure of was that the Tian Dao Sect did not recruit him from the surrounding nations, but instead took the initiative to vote for him.
Towards such a genius, Tian Dao Sect would naturally not hesitate to accept him.
And then something happened.
In total, three days had passed. Xiao Tianchen used these three days to challenge thirty, twenty-nine, and twenty-eight core disciples respectively. Not only were they all successful in their challenges, they were all defeated in one move!
Xiao Tianchen's terrifying combat power had already spread throughout the entire Tian Dao Sect, and no one did not know of it.
It was as if a stone had suddenly been thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples to naturally appear.
Compared to when Chu Yun rose in power, he was even faster and more stunning!
His aura was likainbow, giving off the aura of someone who had surpassed Chu Yun!
Of course, his strength also caused a lot of core disciples to be resistant. You clearly have enough strength, yet you insist on starting from the last place as if you're playing. Isn't it obvious that you're slapping us in the face?
With this kind of terrifying strength, there's no need to do this. Don't tell me the reason why we exist is so that we can be crushed by you?
No matter how strong you are, you can't look down on us. What do you take us for, a sparring partner?
Although countless disciples had expressed hostility towards him, Xiao Tianchen still acted according to his own will and did not have any intentions of changing.
In the next few days, he selected a few core disciples. Without exception, all of them were defeated in one move!
Those core disciples who were not challenged began to feel anxious and stressed.
They knew very well that sooner or later, they would be next!
When his challenge reached the 20th place, he finally no longer defeated his opponent in one move, but still won with ease.
And so it went on for a month.
Xiao Tianchen went from being unranked to being in the top three in terms of overall fighting strength. In front of him, were Yu Hang and demon night.
Everyone was very clear that Yu Hang had the combat power of the second level of the Genuine Force.
Although demon night was a little inferior, he still broke through to the Genuine Force not long ago and was ranked second.
After a few battles, Xiao Tianchen finally displayed some stuff, his cultivation realm was around the ninth level of Qi Condensation, at such a young age, possessing sucerrifying realm, could be said to be shocking everywhere!
As for the martial soul, it was the Crimson Fire Three-Eyed Flood Dragon that possessed the Dragon Bl
oodline!
From the beginning to the end, he didn't reveal the grade of his martial spirit, but the battle prowess of the Crimson Fire three-eyed dragon was something that all disciples could see!
His fame in the Tian Dao Sect shot up likocket. In a short month, his fame and prestige had reached the same level as Chu Yun, and many disciples had started to compare him with Chu Yun. The age difference between the two was not big, and they were all monster-like genius.
All sorts of speculations and speculations grew increasingly intense.
Amongst all the disputes, Xiao Tianchen finally initiated the challenge once again.
The target of his challenge this time was demon night, ranked second in the overall core disciple strength rankings.
Everyone was very familiar with the demon night, it was very difficult to deal with his Scarlet Bear Martial Spirit, and now that he obtained a trident from who knows where, its power was very strong, not even inferior to other warriors' Martial Spirits!
Most importantly, the demon night had the strength of Genuine Force. If he were to fight with Xiao Tianchen, he would be able to get the best of his knowledge.
Therefore, this battle was now the focus of all attention!
However, the final outcome was something that none of the disciples expected.
After enduring foundred moves, demon night was still defeated by Xiao Tianchen!
No matter who his martial spirit, the three-eyed Scarlet Fire Dragon, was facing, it would have an overwhelming advantage!
Martial Spirits that were related to dragons were extremely powerful. Not only that, but the Blood Dragon of the Crimson Fire Triple-Eyed Flood Dragon was not weak, and it was even more powerful in actual combat!
"Even Senior Brother demon night was defeated …"
"How long has it been since the last time this boy reached the top?"
"Wait, why is Senior brother Chu Yun not on the fighting strength ranking? He should be able to sit at the top of the list! "
"I'm not sure. It seems like Senior Brother Tang is not here either."
After defeating the demon night, Xiao Tianchen was finally no longer silent. He had said these arrogant words in front of all the core disciples, because he wanted to become the number one disciple in the Tian Dao Sect.
