Chapter 22: Outer Sect Competition



Even though it was only a magical weapon for the Qi Refining Realm, since Fu Yunzi, an outer sect elder who was not his relative, was willing to give it to him, he had to appreciate it.

Anyway, it’s just an encounter in the martial arts arena, it can’t cause any harm.

"Don't think that you won't get hurt just because you have the Mystical Armor. It also has its limits."

"Paying attention to moral conduct is what the masters of immortal cultivation say. The real outer sect competition is very realistic, and there are sneak attacks. Don't be stupid."

"If it really doesn't work, just run off the stage and don't feel embarrassed."

Luzhu talked to Chen Sheng for a while, asking him to be careful. Although he should work diligently, it is enough to do his best and have a clear conscience. He must not force it, as it will damage his foundation and end up losing more than he gains.

"This is your experience in the outer sect competition."

Lu Zhu spoke very clearly and some details were even clear, so Chen Sheng had already guessed that Lu Zhu had at least participated in the outer sect competition.

"When I participated in the outer sect competition, my senior brothers, for the sake of our teacher Fu Yunzi, easily pushed me off the stage. But for you who don't have a teacher to rely on, it's hard to say if they are too cautious."

Luzhu felt a little embarrassed about the outer sect competition. She was not a talented person and her fighting skills were just not bad. However, some senior brothers, for the sake of their teacher, would give her enough face and let her lose with dignity even if they could easily defeat her.

Although she didn't like this treatment, she was indeed treated preferentially.

"Yes, fighting also depends on relationships."

Mr. Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly. The fighting method in the outer sect competition actually required personal connections and background. A truly poor and useless person could only risk his life.

The outer sect competition is actually a means for the Guangxiu Immortal Sect to select outstanding disciples.

Anyone who aspires to become an immortal will fight hard. Mr. Chen doesn't want to be eliminated in the first fight, as that would be too embarrassing.

He came to the Sutra Library, wanting to seek some useful help here.

"Brother, come and warm yourself up."

In the tea stove world behind the counter, Mo Dahai lit a small stove and leaned very close to it, like a Shiba Inu curled up in a ball in winter, very peaceful and yet looking very old.

"The blood and energy have declined so much."

Chen Sheng's heart sank. As he got closer, he found that Mo Dahai's body had shrunk a lot and became very thin. If he reached out to touch the other's body, he would find it very cold.

"I am about the same age as Lao Zhou, but when I was young, I encountered a fight that almost killed me. Although I survived in the end, I still have a root cause of illness."

Mo Dahai snuggled beside the small stove, making some tea, one cup for Chen Sheng and one cup for himself, drinking it sip by sip, seeming very content with his little life.

His condition was even worse than Deacon Zhou's. He estimated that he only had about ten years to live.

"Take care of yourself."

Mr. Chen had a lot of good things in his mind that he wanted to say, but when he got to his mouth, only this one sentence came out.

This is the most sincere and helpless statement.

"Know."

Mo Dahai felt Chen Sheng's kindness and smiled, feeling very happy. The simple emotion without too many impurities was the best. He also responded with kindness and said, "The outer sect competition is about to begin. Many outer sect disciples have come to the Sutra Library to borrow magic. Do you have any ideas?"

In the Guangxiu Immortal Sect, everyone knew that this outer sect competition would be held with great fanfare, and everyone wanted to stand out and catch the eye of the superiors.

He believed that Deacon Zhou must have told Mr. Chen about this, and he asked this question at this time not only to test the waters but also to ask if he needed help.

There is nothing else in the Sutra Repository, but there are plenty of magic techniques.

"I am lacking in magic skills, and now I want to find a fighting method and a escaping method."

Since Chen Sheng has decided to take part in the outer sect competition, his techniques cannot be too monotonous.

Zhanxing is very powerful, but his strength lies in the future. When he is weak, he needs other powerful techniques.

Mo Dahai has been managing the Sutra Library for many years. Even if he has read all the techniques inside, he at least knows which ones are the hard stuff. He stretched out his hand, pointed at two places, and said, "Over there, and over there, the combat technique, the Four Seals of Qimen, and the escape technique, the light and shadow."

These were all the good stuff in the Sutra Repository, but the comments outside were very mediocre, so almost no outer disciples had ever flipped through them.

It was only Mr. Chen who wanted to speak up and give some advice. If it were anyone else, he would be too lazy to pay attention.

"I know you old people are hiding something."

Chen Sheng thanked him and did not refuse. He knew that since Mo Dahai had spoken, the power of this fighting and escaping method must be very good.

This is the accumulation of years. Many things cannot be turned over in a short time.

Just like the magic techniques in the Sutra Repository, they are vast and complex. Even a talented outer disciple may spend a month trying to sort them out. He has to rely on time and patience to classify and organize them bit by bit.

The Four Seals of Qimen are located in the eastern corner and are easily overlooked.

Look again.

Note: The four hand seals have powers ranging from small to large. If you pinch the seals together, you can draw on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and gather a great force to kill the enemy.

Disadvantages: Inappropriate timing, easily interrupted.

"This is misleading. No matter what kind of magic, if it is used at the wrong time, it will be broken."

Mr. Chen seriously suspected that the immortal cultivator who commented on the Four Qimen Seals at that time might have something to do and just left a casual comment and ran away.

In the Sutra Library managed by Mo Dahai, Chen Sheng did not need to settle contribution points and could directly read the books on the spot.

“Buzz…”

Chen Sheng extended his spiritual sense, and little figures appeared in his mind one by one, among which the place where the hands were forming seals was the clearest.

He stood there, thinking for more than ten breaths, and found that the four Qimen seals were indeed powerful, especially the last one, which could be used as a trump card.

After once again criticizing the immortal cultivator who commented on the Four Qimen Seals, Chen Sheng began to have a little anticipation for the upcoming escape technique.

It is still a very remote corner, with light and shadow quietly placed there.

Note: With the help of the light from the sky, one can hide oneself in the escape technique at all times.

Disadvantages: Without light, this method is ineffective.

"The disadvantages are obvious, but I don't quite understand the advantages."

Mr. Chen speculated that the cultivator who left the comment might have practiced light and shadow, so his words might have a kind of imaginary thought, thinking that people who had not practiced light and shadow could also understand his words.

The fact is, his disadvantages are clearly stated, but his advantages are vague.

Originally, the Sutra Library was a place where outer disciples came. They did not have abundant contribution points and did not dare to gamble on the pros and cons of magic. They could only choose an obvious one. Even if they suffered a loss, they would not feel aggrieved.

"I see. That's really straightforward."

Mr. Chen looked at the light and shadow escape technique and understood the meaning of the comment.

Actually, that’s right.

The light and shadow escape method is to use the shadow of an object under the sky to blur the enemy's senses. After the attack, there will always be a shadow distance error left.

In the presence of light, it is very strong and always has a body position ahead of its opponent.

Also, and importantly, the martial arts arena was open-air and the fights took place during the day.
