Heaving a sigh of relief, Lu Ping slowly stopped his cultivation and absorbed the spiritual energy that he had just gained. He threw away the spirit stone in his hand and felt his heart beating vigorously. Lu Ping could almost hear the sound of blood flowing through his veins.
A pair of eyes suddenly opened in the darkness. They were like two bright stars in the deep night sky, shining brightly. Lu Ping smiled as he looked at everything in the house. As expected, after breaking through to the Seventh Layer, his eyes gained the ability to see in the dark. Of course, this ability was still very weak. As far as Lu Ping could see, he could only see everything in the house clearly.
After fetching a bucket of water to wash away the layer of dark-red impurities that had been squeezed out of his body and blood after breaking through, Lu Ping lay on the wooden bed. Finally, he could have a good sleep tonight.
It had been 16 years since he came to this world, but Lu Ping did not feel uncomfortable at all. Especially after he found out about the wonders of this world, Lu Ping's curiosity was stimulated.
At the age of six, Lu Ping successfully awakened the True Spirit Bloodline with an extremely ordinary aptitude. The master immortal in charge of the island at that time was amazed by this and was then accepted as a disciple by the Zhen Ling Side Hall.
For the past ten years, Lu Ping had worked hard to learn everything about this world. Although his aptitude was ordinary, he cultivated diligently. Today, he had finally broken through to the Seventh Layer.
As for his own bloodline, even the master immortals did not know the reason, let alone himself.
On the morning of the second day, after the bell rang three times, Zhen Ling Courtyard was suddenly filled with people. The fifty people of the Second Class Seven Squad quickly came out of their courtyards and rushed to the seventh platform of Morning Sun Peak. They were like wild horses that were out of control. If a martial arts expert saw this, he would probably be stunned.
These people might not be as fast as the top Qinggong experts, but there were thousands of them in the mountain. If every one of them had such a Qinggong, what would the martial arts masters think? If these people were to come out, the martial arts world would definitely be in chaos!
Lu Ping moved unhurriedly through the crowd, appearing to be at ease. When he arrived at the seventh platform, he saw two silhouettes on the platform from afar. They must be Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother. Both of them had reached the Ninth Level of the Blood Refinement Realm and were only a step away from the Blood Condensation Realm before they could become Zhenling's inner disciples.
Just as the crowd was about to reach the platform, three silhouettes overtook the crowd and leaped onto the platform. They were the Eighth Layer Blood Refining Realm Third, Fourth, and Fifth Senior Brothers.
Seeing that everyone had reached the platform, Eldest Martial Brother Yao Yong shouted, "Line up!" Everyone rushed to their original positions, and in an instant, they lined up neatly. Lu Ping was ranked second from the left in the second row, which meant that Lu Ping was the twelfth disciple in the square team.
Yao Yong shouted again, "Blood Condensation Bone Melting Fist, begin!"
Everyone raised their hands and punched out, shouting in unison, "Ha!"
There were seventy-two styles of the Blood Condensation Bone Melting Fist. The first thirty-six styles were used to refine one's body and stimulate the True Spiritual Energy in one's bloodline, while the last thirty-six styles were used to protect one's life.
After a round of punches, Lu Ping's bones began to heat up. It was indeed the effect of reaching the seventh stage. In the past, his forehead would be covered in sweat and he would be panting heavily from the [Blood Condensation Bone Melting Fist]. But this round was just a warm-up.
Lu Ping looked at Eldest Martial Brother Yao Yong, and Yao Yong shouted again, "Welcome, Master Immortal!"
Outside the Yang Peak, a red light flashed, and three silhouettes appeared on the stone platform in front of the platform.
The disciples below the platform greeted in unison, "Greetings, Master Immortal Liu!"
Standing among the three was a middle-aged cultivator with a dignified expression. He waved his hand and said, "Dispense with the formalities. You've all worked hard in your cultivation, but the True Spirit Courtyard's Level 2 Disciple Assessment is about to begin. If you don't want to become an outer disciple, you'll have to continue working hard!"
After Master Immortal Liu finished speaking, the people in the square formation all had different expressions on their faces. Basically, the people in the first three rows were calm, but the people in the last two rows began to whisper among themselves. Some were anxious, some were disappointed, and some were in despair.
Master Immortal Liu looked at the last two rows expressionlessly, and the crowd immediately fell silent. Master Immortal Liu snorted and looked at the first three rows. When he saw Lu Ping, his face lit up with joy, and he said, "Good, Lu Ping, you've broken through to the seventh level?"
Master Immortal Liu's words immediately caused a commotion in the quiet crowd. Even the Senior Martial Brothers in the first row turned their heads to look at Lu Ping.
Lu Ping was calm and didn't show the slightest bit of nervousness or excitement. He bowed politely and said, "It's all thanks to Master Immortal's guidance. I was lucky enough to break through last night."
"Good, good! Three months from now, when the Second Disciple Assessment is over, you can participate in the Second Disciple Ranking Competition. "
The True Spirit Courtyard's Disciple Assessment was to eliminate disciples who didn't keep up with their progress, while the Ranking Competition was for outstanding disciples of different levels. The winners of the Ranking Competition would be heavily rewarded and their cultivation would greatly increase. Both were to encourage the courtyard's disciples to work hard in their cultivation.
The True Spirit Courtyard determined one's status based on one's strength, and the competition was fierce. The cultivation resources of each group depended on their team's annual winning rate and elimination rate, and the Immortal Masters of each group would also be rewarded by the sect. Therefore, when Master Immortal Liu saw that Lu Ping had broken through, he was very happy.
A Second Disciple's cultivation had reached the seventh level, and they already had the strength to enter the top ten of the group. This undoubtedly increased the strength of Group 7's strength in the Ranking Competition.
"Our True Spirit Courtyard determines one's status based on one's strength. Lu Ping has broken through and become the tenth disciple of Group 7 to reach the seventh level. As usual, Lu Ping will become the tenth disciple."
Lu Ping had experienced this a few times before. He just silently walked to the far right of the first row. Lu Ping could clearly feel the gazes of the people behind him. Some were angry, some were envious, and some were jealous …
The original tenth disciple, Li Cheng, glared at Lu Ping and walked to the far left of the second row. The original eleventh disciple, Zhang Zicheng, smiled bitterly and took two steps to the right, taking over Lu Ping's original position.
Lu Ping ignored all these expressions and stood at his new position in silence.
Master Immortal Liu glanced at Lu Ping and said with a smile, "According to the rules, when a disciple has a breakthrough in his or her cultivation, he or she can challenge a senior brother of the same level to occupy a higher position and obtain better cultivation resources."
The four Seventh Layer disciples on the left looked at Lu Ping in unison. Lu Ping bowed to Master Immortal Liu and said, "I have just broken through and need some time to consolidate my cultivation. I am not a match for any of you, so I give up the right to challenge you."
The crowd thought to themselves, As expected!
Every time Lu Ping's cultivation improved, he would never challenge a senior brother of the same level. If it weren't for the annual Group Ranking Competition, Lu Ping would probably be ranked last among the disciples of the same level.
Although Lu Ping did not cause trouble, it did not mean that trouble would not come looking for him. However, after a few failed challenges from new disciples, everyone knew that Lu Ping was not a pushover, and the number of people who challenged him decreased.
The reason why Lu Ping was able to reach the twelfth position among the Sixth Layer disciples was because he was passively replaced by someone who had failed to challenge him.
"With that, Lu Ping will be our Group 7's Tenth Senior Brother!" Master Immortal Liu made the final decision.
"Greetings, Tenth Senior Brother!"
"Greetings, Tenth Junior Brother!"
After Lu Ping returned the greeting, Master Immortal Liu said solemnly, "Good! Now that the chores are done, all disciples shall meditate and cultivate! "
