Chapter 26: Just Warming Up
Lu Yi quickly arrived at the central arena area, and everyone else had already arrived.
Jiang Fan held his hands behind his head, holding a piece of dogtail grass that he had pulled out from somewhere in his mouth. When he saw Lu Yi, he smiled and greeted him: "Junior Brother Lu Yi, you are here?"
The others looked over and nodded slightly to greet him. Lin Wan'er smiled and waved at Lu Yi: "Junior Brother Lu Yi, which peak do you plan to go to after entering the inner gate?"
Upon hearing this, the others looked at Lu Yi with some curiosity.
Lu Yi smiled and said, "I promised Senior Sister Liu Ningshuang that I would go to participate in the assessment of Lingluo Peak when the time comes."
Hearing this, the handsome senior brother in brocade clothes who was at the tenth level of Qi training smiled and said, "With Junior Brother Lu Yi's comprehension, it is really possible for him to enter Lingluo Peak."
His name is Bai Yulong, and his strength is also among the top three in the outer sect.
The honest senior brother who was at the tenth level of Qi training scratched his head and said, "It's a pity that my talent is not good enough. I will probably be kicked out if I go to Lingluo Peak."
This senior brother’s name is Tieman, he is equally powerful and practices the art of body refining.
"Lingluo Peak... It's also a gathering place for geniuses in the inner sect. How can ordinary people get there?"
"I'm different. I plan to go to Chiliu Peak. I heard that there are the most fire cultivators there. After I build my foundation, I plan to practice fire magic."
"After reaching the inner gate, I wonder if we can still make a name for ourselves?"
"We're not sure, but Junior Brother Lu Yi is probably fine."
Everyone was chatting about the future scene after entering the inner gate, and they all had some anticipation.
Not long after, Dugu Fang dropped from the sky and landed on the central stage. The ten people stopped talking and fell silent.
The atmosphere among the disciples watching the competition became even more enthusiastic.
Dugu Fang glanced over and said, "Quiet!"
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, but Dugu Fang's authority was still quite profound.
He looked at the top ten disciples and said, "The top ten ranking battle will begin now. As usual, two-on-two battles will be held to determine the final ranking."
As he spoke, he took out ten jade tokens, which floated in front of Lu Yi and his ten companions.
Lu Yi took the jade card and looked at it: 1. He was stunned. He didn't expect that he was the first one? He looked around and found that others were also looking at the jade cards in other people's hands. They seemed to be curious about other people's numbers.
At this time, Dugu Fang said: "The competition begins now. Number 1 stays on the stage, and the others leave the stage."
Hearing this, the eight people touched the ground and floated down from the stage, leaving Lu Yi and Tie Man staring at each other in wide eyes.
When Lu Yi saw Tie Man, he grinned and said, "Brother Tie Man, what a coincidence?"
He said to himself, "I want to defeat Senior Brother Tieman!"
[Mission]: Defeat the Iron Man (Progress: 0/1)
Reward: Top-grade Huangming Pills*40/Perfect Huangming Pills*4 Acceptance: Yes/No
When Lu Yi saw the task, he was stunned. It was not a Qi Condensation Pill? But a Huangming Pill? Huangming Pill was a pill used to practice body-refining techniques. It could speed up the practice of body-refining techniques. Even if one did not practice body-refining techniques, taking Huangming Pill could increase the strength of the body. However, the effect was definitely not as good as practicing body-refining techniques.
Lu Yi didn't expect that the reward for this mission would be this thing.
This is a good thing, even more precious than the Qi Condensation Pill.
You should know that a cultivator's physical strength generally follows his realm, unless he practices body-refining techniques to increase his physical strength. However, body-refining techniques are very difficult to practice, and require a lot of resources. They also take a long time to hone, and generally not many people have the time, energy, and resources to practice them.
Lu Yi had never practiced before, after all, his previous talent did not allow it. After the golden finger awakened, Lu Yi also gave priority to improving his spiritual energy cultivation to ensure that his combat power was improved in order to achieve good results in the competition.
In fact, he had thought about practicing body-refining techniques after the competition, but that was a matter for later. He didn't expect to be rewarded with body-refining pills now.
That’s good. He looked at Tieman with a kinder look. Maybe he could learn more from Brother Tieman in the future?
Seeing Lu Yi's kind smile, Tie Man also smiled innocently: "It's quite a coincidence, Junior Brother Lu Yi, it seems we have to start a show first."
When the disciples below saw that the first match was between a Qi training level ten disciple and Lu Yi, they immediately became excited and looked at the central arena with anticipation.
Gu Dufang glanced at the two of them and disappeared on the spot. Only a voice sounded: "Let's start."
Hearing this, Tieman grinned, his spiritual energy flowed, and his skin slowly turned gray-iron. He clenched his fists, and when their fists touched each other, a dull sound was made.
"Junior Brother Lu Yi, please give me some advice."
Seeing this, Lu Yi also drew out his long sword, with clouds flowing on the long sword, and smiled slightly: "Brother Tieman, please give me your advice."
Tieman grinned and exerted force with his strong legs.
boom!!
The ground where he was located cracked like a spider web, and his body suddenly disappeared from the spot, and instantly appeared above Lu Yi's head. The aura of a ferocious beast emanated from it, which was extremely terrifying.
He clenched his right fist and hit Lu Yi's head. The tip of his fist was filled with translucent energy, which caused a strong wind to whistle and make Lu Yi's black hair dance.
Lu Yi felt his skin stinging from the force of the punch, and he sighed in his heart that Senior Brother Tieman’s aura was truly amazing.
He circulated his spiritual energy and his body was like a white cloud. It seemed that he was moving slowly, but in fact he was retreating very quickly.
Tieman's punch missed and landed on the ring, which immediately dented a small hole under Tieman's fist.
Tieman stomped his legs and disappeared again.
At this moment, Lu Yi swung his sword to the right, a strong sword cloud flowed, and Tieman's body appeared at that position.
Feeling Jian Yun's terrifying sharpness, Tie Man's pupils shrank and he growled. The next moment, a layer of spiritual energy flowed on the surface of his body, and the gray iron color of his skin became deeper.
Tieman clenched his fists and charged straight towards Jianyun.
boom!!
The fist filled with spiritual energy collided with the sword cloud, making a loud roar. The air waves swept in all directions like a storm. The outer disciples around felt the terrible pressure and their eyes widened.
"Hiss... What a powerful destructive force!"
"This power... I'm not bragging, just one hit and I'll lie on the ground and let the two brothers burn incense for me!"
"…Then you are definitely not bragging."
“…”
At the side of the arena, Bai Yulong and the others looked at the astonishing fluctuations on the arena, and their expressions changed.
Wan Hua and the other two who were at the ninth level of Qi training looked at each other with a confused expression.
"…Is this really the seventh level of Qi training?! Are you kidding me?"
"Anyway, I'm lying flat. I'm already in the top ten. I don't ask for a higher ranking, as long as I can enter the inner gate."
"... After all, he is Junior Brother Lu Yi. I am convinced. Let's stop here, okay? Don't fight them so hard?"
The three of them nodded at the same time.
Lin Wan'er, who was standing nearby, glanced at the three of them, grinned and said, "Do you think they fought hard? They're just warming up."
Wanhua three people: "????"
