"Sou!"
Xiao Chen, who was high in the sky, pointed his saber at Zhang Lie, who was on the ground. He locked onto Zhang Lie with his Spiritual Sense and his body moved in a slanted line, moving towards the ground like a meteor.
Everywhere Xiao Chen passed, a mountain slowly appeared from the top to the bottom of the mountain along with Xiao Chen's figure.
There were strange flowers and plants on the mountain peak. The forest was shady and there were birds and beasts flying around. When Xiao Chen looked carefully, he found that there were actually countless buildings at the waist of the mountain. He could vaguely see countless figures practicing Martial Techniques in the middle of the mountain.
Every time the mountain peak grew, it was clear that Xiao Chen's speed had increased by one level.
In the spectator stands, all the elders and Peak Masters were astonished, "This is the mysterious phenomenon of the Small Perfection realm. There are no flaws at all."
The lights flying towards Xiao Chen were all submerged in the mysterious phenomenon that Xiao Chen created, disappearing without a trace.
As for the lights in other directions, they all exploded. They were like claps of thunder, resounding through the clouds and roaring continuously. Finally, they merged into one.
The air seemed like it was sliced in half like a curtain of water. It only mended after a long time. Unfortunately, it was not in Xiao Chen's direction, so it was useless.
"Hu chi!"
The mountain peak completely formed. Xiao Chen's speed instantly broke through the speed of sound. There was a sonic boom in Zhang Lie's ears. In a flash, he landed firmly two hundred meters behind Zhang Lie.
Zhang Lie stretched out his hand and gently touched his forehead. There was a small wound there; to him, it was negligible.
"I've lost!" Zhang Lie knew that Xiao Chen had shown mercy. Otherwise, the saber would have pierced through his forehead. Although he was dissatisfied, he still jumped off the spear tip.
"Boom!" Zhang Lie staggered and fell to the ground. That last saber strike had used up all of his mental energy. In the end, he still failed and could no longer hold on.
Immediately, the Jade Maiden Peak elders came over and quickly carried Zhang Lie out to treat his injuries.
"Your turn!" Xiao Chen said as he looked at Mu Heng, who was not far away.
Mu Heng smiled faintly and jumped down from the spear tip. "There's no need. Your final move is a Small Perfection mysterious phenomenon. I cannot block it. You have expended too much of your Essence Qi. I will not take advantage of you. In the future, I will defeat you fair and square. "
"Twisting Road Around Peak, so the seventeenth move of the Lingyun Saber Technique is like this. No one has used it for several hundred years already."
"That's right. Zhang Lie's sixteenth move, Everlasting Startling Clouds, was already terrifying enough. I didn't expect it to be nothing in front of the seventeenth move."
"Mu Heng is very magnanimous, directly giving up and not taking advantage of others. With such magnanimity, his future accomplishments will not be low. Senior Brother Mu has raised a good son."
The Peak Leaders on the platform expressed their opinions regarding the battle from before. Only one person remained silent, with a dark expression on his face.
Needless to say, this person was the one who used the Biyun Peak's Peak Master to guarantee Xiao Chen's defeat, Song Que. Right after he spoke, Xiao Chen used the Twisting Road Around Peak to slap him in the face. The story was truly full of twists and turns.
"Junior Brother Song, it looks like you cannot speak so casually in the future. Ha ha!" the Qianduan Peak's Peak Master joked.
Before Song Que lost an arm, he was extremely arrogant and domineering. He did not have a good relationship with the Peak Masters of the other peaks. Now that they saw him suffer a few setbacks, they could not help but make fun of him.
Song Que snorted coldly, "What ability does he have? Mu Heng just gave up. If Mu Heng did not give up, this brat would have lost the right to take the test."
When Liu Ruyue heard this, she immediately retorted, "All the Biyun Peak disciples have been eliminated. Why are you still sitting here? Are you trying to make things difficult for yourself?"
Song Que's face turned red. He smacked the wooden table violently and said, "Since when is it up to you to decide whether I stay or go?"
"Sou!"
Just as the two of them were arguing, the First Elder Jiang Chi, who was on the platform, shot out another black dart at the chief examiner.
"Did the situation change again?" everyone stopped their discussion and asked suspiciously.
On the drill grounds, the chief examiner caught the black dart with a 'shua' sound. He opened the note on it and after a while, he looked at the crowd and said, "Mu Heng and Zhang Lie, the Elders' Assembly has decided to make an exception for the three of you to pass the second stage. We will stop the test for now. Three days from now, we will start the arena battles. Dismissed! "
"Furthermore, I believe everyone has already guessed that the test this time is different. There are only ten spots for the core disciple test this time. However, the reward will be five times that of the previous ones. I hope everyone will work hard when they return."
Mu Heng, who was originally preparing to leave, could not help but stop when he heard this. He shook his head and smiled, "If I cannot obtain the first rank, the purpose of the test is not that important."
On the formation, Xiao Chen held the banner and jumped down gently. He looked at the elders' seats on the high platform. There was a pensive look in his eyes. What are they preparing for these three days?
Late at night, the moonlight shone through the window into Xiao Chen's courtyard.
Xiao Chen sat cross-legged on his bed and circulated the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation. He slowly recovered the Essence, Qi, and Spirit that he exhausted during the day.
The Qi whirlpool in Xiao Chen's dantian spun continuously. Drops of crystalline liquid slowly fell from the Qi whirlpool. Xiao Chen felt the speed of the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation's circulation.
Xiao Chen felt the speed of the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation's circulation, and Xiao Chen thought to himself, It looks like I am about to break through to the fourth layer of the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation. Something big will happen after this test. I have to make preparations in advance.
If I have the opportunity to break through to the fourth layer of the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation, I can go all out and prepare for a rainy day.
At midnight, the Spirit Blood Jade on Xiao Chen's chest silently flashed with a white light. Under the illumination of the moonlight, Bai's body, which was as smooth as snow, appeared quietly. Then, it quickly leaped through the window and headed out of the courtyard.
Xiao Chen opened his eyes and looked in the direction Bai left. He smiled faintly and did not bother with it.
These days, Bai would go out every night. At first, Xiao Chen was somewhat worried. However, he discovered that it did not go far. After stealing a bottle of wine from Shao Yang, it would go to the back of the mountain to cultivate. It would return punctually before daybreak.
That was all, Xiao Chen could relax. To the restless Bai, the place it disliked the most was the Spirit Blood Jade. Xiao Chen was happy to let it go out for a breather.
Recollecting his thoughts, Xiao Chen continued to circulate the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation. He was making his final preparations for breaking through to the fourth layer of the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation.
Bai, who was outside the courtyard, ran out happily. It turned into a white figure and made its way to Shao Yang's room with great familiarity.
It gently opened the window to Shao Yang's room without making any sound. When it came out, it carried a bottle of wine and drank it happily.
After it finished drinking the wine in the bottle, a blush appeared on Bai's face. Under the illumination of the moonlight, it looked very charming and beautiful. Its intelligent eyes were filled with charm.
Bai quickly went to the back of the mountain and found a place with dense Spiritual Energy. Then, it sat down cross-legged like a human. The dense Essence in its body slowly circulated the Mysterious Nine Heavenly Revolution Transformation.
The mist was hazy and the surrounding Spiritual Energy was like a torrential storm. Under the moonlight, the raindrops of Spiritual Energy had an indescribable gentleness and beauty.
The rainwater instantly entered Bai's body. Slowly, Bai's body became as transparent as glass. Below its body, there was a blurry white spot of light that was very eye-catching.
It jumped around happily, swallowing the Spiritual Energy that entered its body. As the amount of Spiritual Energy it absorbed increased, the spot of light slowly grew larger.
Amidst the haziness, that spot of light … no, it could no longer be called a spot of light. Instead, it was a small ball of light that gave off a gentle glow.
The small ball of light changed continuously, forming all sorts of shapes. Finally, it struggled to form a small human figure. However, before it could maintain this state for a minute, the human figure scattered into countless spots of light and turned back into a ball of light.
The Mysterious Nine Heavenly Revolution Transformation was a high-ranked Immortal Grade Secret Manual for Demonic Cultivators. According to the records in the Compendium of Cultivation, in terms of cultivation speed, it was much faster than the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation that Xiao Chen cultivated.
If Xiao Chen was here and discovered what Bai was doing, he would be greatly astonished. This was because Bai was actually undergoing transformation.
The Spirit Beasts of the Tianwu Continent could only undergo transformation after they reached Martial Monarch. Furthermore, the process was not only extremely painful, it was also very shocking. The chances of failure were also very high.
However, once the transformation succeeded, it would be a qualitative leap for a Spirit Beast. Not only would their outer appearance change, they would also become no different from humans.
Furthermore, their Spiritual Intelligence would also improve. Their bodies would also be able to cultivate human Martial Techniques and Cultivation Techniques. For a Spirit Beast that could only rely on its instincts to fight, its strength would increase by at least twofold.
The path of transformation had a very low success rate. Once it failed, it would turn to dust. Although most Spirit Beasts yearned for it, very few would choose this path.
Furthermore, even though Spirit Beasts succeeded in transforming, they could not completely integrate into human society. Most of them would join the Myriad Fiend Palace of the Fiend Race. That was a sect passed down by the ancient Fiend Race. As long as they were there, they would have a place to stay.
The raindrops formed from Spiritual Energy slowly scattered. Bai stopped cultivating and raised his head to look at the night sky. A trace of melancholy flashed in his intelligent eyes.
Under the gentle moonlight, Bai hugged his wine bottle and walked unsteadily towards Xiao Chen's courtyard …
Three days passed very quickly. The Purple Thunder Divine Incantation had already stabilized at the third layer. As long as Xiao Chen was willing, he could break through to the fourth layer at any time.
On this night, Xiao Chen practiced the Lingyun Saber Technique in the courtyard, consolidating the Twisting Road Around Peak that he had learned.
A cool breeze blew in the courtyard, and leaves flew everywhere. All sorts of illusions of mountains appeared and disappeared continuously. Xiao Chen sheathed his saber and stood upright. He carefully thought about the scene of that day.
The path I walk is different from Zhang Lie's. I want to withdraw the mysterious phenomenon and focus on the energy within. However, the Twisting Road Around Peak that day only materialized the mysterious phenomenon but did not merge it perfectly.
If I could merge it into my Saber Technique, its might should be able to improve. Even the Small Perfection mysterious phenomenon is not without flaws. Before a true bladesman, it could be easily broken.
Thus, I have to think of a way to merge the Twisting Road Around Peak mysterious phenomenon into my saber.
