《Time Manipulating System》 Chapter 1 - Time Manipulating System Chapter 1 ¨C Time Manipulating SystemChu Country, Haonan Province, Flowing Cloud Sect. The outer door, cabin. Gu Yang sat on the bed with a helpless look on his face. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to cross into such a dangerous world ¡­¡± He muttered to himself, occasionally shaking his head. Not long ago, he was still playing games in his room. He did not expect that his vision would suddenly turn dark, and when he woke up, he had already transmigrated. He had become an outer court disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect. His cultivation too was extremely ordinary: 4th stage of the Body Refinement Realm. Even among the outer sect disciples, it was considered the worst. One must know that the most important thing in any fantasy world was strength. The strong were respected, and the weak were nothing but ants! In this world, talent was the most important thing. Those who were gifted could always train without obstacles. Those with poor talent, even if they were to devote 24 hours a day to cultivation, might not be able to compare to the results of an hour¡¯s worth of cultivation of the gifted ones! It was the norm of this world. Unfortunately, he belonged to the latter group. His cultivation talent was extremely ordinary. Although he could take a step forward in his cultivation, it wouldn¡¯t exactly be fast or truly effective. Thinking of this, Gu Yang could not help but shake his head. ¡°F*ck! Even when I was playing a game, I couldn¡¯t become someone influential. Why did I have to transmigrate to become someone like this?¡± Gu Yang was speechless. Before he transmigrated, he was a member of a team called the Liver Gang, being one of the normal members of the group. As a result, he couldn¡¯t keep up with upgrades and new equipment, so he was often beaten and bullied. He was very aggrieved. Thus, as a programmer, he wrote a piece of the program himself! But that script was only useful in-game, not in real life. Thinking of this, Gu Yang clenched his fists. [ ][] Suddenly, Gu Yang heard a series of notifications. Gu Yang was stunned after hearing this familiar sound. Could this be what the web novels often mentioned ¡­ a system?! There really was one! As an old bookworm, Gu Yang naturally understood: this was his golden finger! He was pleasantly surprised. He quickly asked the system: ¡°System, introduce your functions!¡± [ .] Hearing the system¡¯s functions, Gu Yang was shocked. Good f*ck, I can change the Creation Time of anything. This function is a little too awesome. To put it simply, controlling or manipulating time could change anything from new to old and from old to new. Gu Yang took a deep breath. ¡°Ghost!¡± This system seemed to be a little awesome! After all, controlling the time at will was something that could only be done by an extremely abnormal existence in a fantasy world. Moreover, he had to consider the issue of backlash. This was simply too abnormal! Gu Yang was extremely excited. Then, his heart skipped a beat. ¡°That¡¯s right since I can change the birth time of anything, I must be able to change my cultivation.¡± Thinking of this, Gu Yang chose to change his cultivation. The time he set was ten years in the future. After that, Gu Yang realized that his cultivation had soared to the 10th stage of Body Refinement Realm! Feeling the obvious improvement in his body, Gu Yang was also pleasantly surprised as he clenched his fists, ¡°I can change my own cultivation and directly change my cultivation to that of ten years in the future? This is too abnormal! ¡°Is this the power of the 10th stage of the Body Refinement Realm?¡± Following this, Gu Yang clenched his fists and felt his strength, feeling quite satisfied. Compared to now, his previous strength was simply too weak. This was the power that a strong person should have! S?a??h the ???el F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. ¡°However, the same item can only be modified once, that is unless I breakthrough in my cultivation first. It¡¯s a pity that it has limits. Otherwise, if I could modify it without a limit, I would¡¯ve been invincible within minutes.¡± Gu Yang recalled something and felt a bit regretful, but he relaxed. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m too greedy. Before the system, I could only struggle to survive. It¡¯s already good enough. However, my talent is really weak.¡± Following this, Gu Yang recalled that he had only cultivated up to the 10th stage of Body Refinement Realm for 10 years, and his face twitched. After cultivating for ten years, he only had reached the 10th stage of Body Refinement Realm; this body¡¯s talent was quite lacking. A normal disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect would not have such low aptitude. The reason why he was able to enter the Flowing Cloud Sect was that he was an outer court disciple. ¡°That¡¯s right since I can change my cultivation, can I also change my sword technique training time?¡± Thinking of this, Gu Yang¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and he changed the training time of his basic sword technique to ten years later. In an instant, Gu Yang realized that he had gained many insights into the path of the sword. ¡°F*ck, I actually succeeded!¡± Gu Yang was pleasantly surprised. After tasting the sweetness, Gu Yang wanted to change his basic boxing techniques. After that, Gu Yang realized that nothing had changed. ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. If I didn¡¯t practice the basics of fist technique, I wouldn¡¯t be able to change the time.¡± Gu Yang pondered for a moment and understood the cause and effect of the system. ¡°However, I have learned the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique, so I can still modify it.¡± Following this, Gu Yang directly modified the mid-grade martial skill he practised. Very quickly, ten years of enlightenment filled Gu Yang¡¯s mind, causing him to have more insights into the path of the sword. His Cloud Sword Formula had also directly reached a perfect realm. The sword was like a cloud, forming one move after another. It was ethereal and mystical. ¡°Mm, the improvement in my martial arts and skills are quite obvious. ¡°It seems that cultivation is related to one¡¯s basic qualities. I can not change it. However, martial cultivation is based on my comprehension and my comprehension is good.¡± Gu Yang was surprised, but he quickly reacted to it and bragged. Chapter 2 - Sword Intent! Chapter 2 ¨C Sword Intent!To rapidly increase one¡¯s cultivation base, he had to use precious medicinal pills, heavenly resources, earth treasures, and spirit stones. However, Gu Yang was only an outer court disciple. He didn¡¯t have any of these resources. ¡°This is extremely uncomfortable. It¡¯s useless to meditate in the room.¡± Gu Yang walked out of the dormitory and began to stroll around. Soon, he heard an extremely important piece of news: the inner court selection competition was commencing soon! Half a month later, all outer court disciples that had reached the 10th stage of Body Refinement Realm were allowed to participate! The reward for the inner court selection was ten low-grade spirit stones! Hearing this news, Gu Yang was instantly moved. Ten low-grade spirit stones ¡­ This reward was truly generous. Although spirit stones were extremely precious to outer court disciples at the Body Refinement Realm, they were temporarily not useful. This was because he was in the Body Refinement Realm and was cultivating his qi and blood to increase his strength. Only by breaking through to the Qi Condensation Realm would he be able to absorb the rich spiritual energy contained within the spirit stones. All in all, these ten low-grade spirit stones were quite attractive to him! Not to mention that he¡¯d use it very assiduously, considering how enormous the sum was. ¡°The standard for participating in the competition is the 10th stage of the Body Refinement Realm. My cultivation has already reached the standard. As long as I learn a few more martial skills and change the training time ¡­ perhaps no one will be a match for me in this inner court competition!¡± Thinking of this, Gu Yang¡¯s eyes flashed with light. He was going to get these ten low-grade spirit stones! Of course, the current goal was to learn martial skills and then collect resources to see if he could break through to the Qi Condensation Realm. Thinking of this, Gu Yang chose to go to the Martial Pavilion and choose a few martial skills. According to the rules of the Flowing Cloud Sect, if an outer court disciple reached the 7th level of Body Refining Realm or above, they would be able to receive three high-grade rank martial skills for free. Soon, Gu Yang arrived at the Martial Pavilion and reported to the Elders. ¡°Throw me a punch, let me see if your cultivation has attained the 7th level of Body Refinement Realm.¡± The Pavilion Guard Elder calmly said. The Body Refinement Realm was very special. It was impossible to tell, but it still required strength testing. Gu Yang didn¡¯t hesitate. He punched out and the air exploded. However, although Gu Yang¡¯s punch was very powerful, the pavilion¡¯s guard elder raised his hand slightly and blocked it. His body did not even tremble. ¡°Good kid. You came here to receive a martial skill after reaching the peak of the tenth level of body refinement. You are an ascetic.¡± Sensing Gu Yang¡¯s power, the elder¡¯s eyes flashed with a bright light as he praised. ¡°Elder, you flatter me.¡± Gu Yang said, neither servile nor overbearing. ¡°Let¡¯s go in. You can choose three high-grade Mortal martial skills from the second floor.¡± The pavilion elder stroked his beard and laughed. Gu Yang didn¡¯t waste any time either. He directly entered the Martial Pavilion. The space inside the Martial Pavilion was very large. There were many martial skills among them. However, the first level¡¯s martial skills were low-grade and mid-grade rank. Although Gu Yang felt that if he flipped through these low-grade and mid-grade rank martial skills and modified his training time, he would be able to enrich his knowledge on the martial dao, but he didn¡¯t dare. After all, there were seals placed on the martial arts. If one casually flipped through them, the consequences would be very serious. Soon, Gu Yang arrived on the second floor. After careful selection, he chose three martial skills that suited him. One was a high-grade sword technique, the Ardent Wind Sword. S?a??h the N0v?lFire(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The second one was a high-grade movement technique that was good at accelerating at short and medium distances. The choice of this movement technique was naturally a steady choice. In a life-saving case, there was still a way to survive in the face of powerful enemies. The last one was a high-grade fist technique, the Vajra Fist. The choice of a fist technique was a deliberate decision. Sword techniques would be his primary method, while fist techniques were auxiliary. If the sword were to accidentally break or fall out of his hand during the battle and he is left out with a fist, he would have at least a bit of combat strength. He would not lose ninety percent of his combat strength. When Gu Yang finished choosing the cultivation technique, the elder didn¡¯t say anything and directly registered it for him. ¡°I¡¯m sure you know the rules of the sect. You can¡¯t pass it on to others. You have to return it within a month.¡± The elder said solemnly. ¡°Disciple knows.¡± Gu Yang nodded and left. After returning to his room, Gu Yang began to flip through three martial skills. After he memorized the three martial skills in his mind, he manipulated the time of his cultivation one by one. After modifying the Vajra Fist for ten years, the Vajra Fist was directly perfected. After modifying the Shadow Steps for ten years, he directly completed it. After modifying the Fierce Wind Sword for ten years, insights into the Dao of the Sword surged into his heart, and he immediately perfected it. Gu Yang had even entered a strange state. A moment later, Gu Yang¡¯s body trembled and he woke up. Instinctively, he pulled out his sword. Then, a sharp aura burst forth from the sword. His sword was still a distance away from the wooden wall, but it forcefully left a deep sword mark on it. ¡°This is the embryonic form of Sword Intent ¡­?¡± Gu Yang was a little surprised. He hadn¡¯t expected that he had comprehended the embryonic form of Sword Intent. Sword Intent was a unique concept. Those who could comprehend it were all true monsters. Sword cultivators who had comprehended the Sword Intent could defeat those who haven¡¯t (sword cultivators) as easy as drinking water. Their combat strength would skyrocket. As for the embryonic form of Sword Intent, although it was not a true Sword Intent, it also possessed a portion of its might, allowing the swordsman¡¯s strength to increase greatly. Gu Yang had never thought that he would have comprehended the embryonic form of Sword Intent just like that. ¡°Oh right, I wonder if I can modify the cultivation time of the embryonic form of Sword Intent.¡± At this moment, Gu Yang¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He chose to modify the embryonic form of his Sword Intent ten years in the future. Instantly, a large amount of comprehension of the Sword Dao surged into Gu Yang¡¯s heart. After that, the sharp aura around Gu Yang¡¯s body increased by several folds, as if it could sever everything. ¡°This is Sword Intent, true Sword Intent ¡­¡± Gu Yang was astonished. He never thought that he would be able to comprehend the Sword Intent that countless swordsmen dreamed of so easily. One had to know that there was not a single swordsman who could comprehend Sword Intent. At the very least, if he revealed that he¡¯d comprehended the Sword Intent, then he would be able to cause a group of people to be shocked. Of course, the killing intent of the opposing sects would not be lacking. ¡°Hu. Since I have comprehended Sword Insight, then it¡¯s time to go down the mountain to earn cultivation resources.¡± ¡°If I break through to Qi Condensation as soon as possible, my strength will increase greatly.¡± Thinking of this, Gu Yang didn¡¯t hesitate. He prepared some dry food and left the mountain. Chapter 3 - Qi Gathering Grass Chapter 3 ¨C Qi Gathering GrassIt was an ordinary town at the foot of the Flowing Cloud Sect¡¯s mountain. This place was close to the Black Wind Forest. Most of the visitors were cultivators. Some came to the Black Wind Forest to hunt beasts, while others came to search for heavenly resources. There were even those who rushed here halfway to rest. There was huge traffic in this area. After leaving the sect, Gu Yang quickly arrived at Black Wind Town. Of course, he wasn¡¯t in a hurry to enter the Black Wind Forest to hunt beasts. He first found an inn to stay at. He planned to have a meal at the same time. However, when he had just taken a seat, many people in the inn looked at him more or less. Of course, it was not because Gu Yang was too handsome. It was because of the signature cloud markings on Gu Yang¡¯s robe! That was the symbol of the Flowing Cloud Sect. One must know that the Flowing Cloud Sect was one of the four great sects in the Southern Province. In Haonan Province, everyone was well-known. Of course, Gu Yang didn¡¯t take these matters to heart. Soon, the food was served. Gu Yang quickly began to eat. After eating and drinking, Gu Yang rested for a moment before preparing to leave for the Black Wind Forest. But right at this moment, waves of discussions sounded in his ears. ¡°Hey, have you heard?¡± ¡°The White Sun Sect¡¯s disciples have also come to the Black Wind Forest!¡± ¡°Ha? Really? isn¡¯t the White Sun Sect quite far from here? Why are they here?¡± ¡°They seem to be here to train. After all, the White Sun Sect is in a beast tide and has no way to train. That¡¯s why they came to the Black Wind Forest, right?¡± ¡°It must be like this. The White Sun Sect¡¯s number one genius, Du Feng, has also arrived. He should be leading the group!¡± ¡°Is it Du Feng who killed a Qi Condensation expert when he was only at the peak of the 9th stage of the Body Refinement Realm?¡± ¡°It¡¯s him!¡± ¡°Holy damn! Who¡¯d still have the courage to go in and hunt ferocious beasts anymore?¡± ¡°According to the White Sun Sect¡¯s personality, once we encounter them, we¡¯ll be robbed. Forget it, forget it. I¡¯ll go back and sleep after I finish my meal and wait for them to finish their training.¡± ¡°Truly unlucky!¡± It looks like I won¡¯t be able to hunt beasts in the Black Wind Forest for the next couple of days.¡± As they chatted, a trace of gloominess and anger appeared on their faces. They were itinerant cultivators. They didn¡¯t enter any sect, so they went hunting for ferocious beasts wherever they could earn money. Along the way, they would often encounter the situation of sect disciples training. Amongst them, the White Sun Sect disciples were the most arrogant. Every time they met, the other party would look for resources overbearingly. If they denied, they would say that they wanted to become enemies with the White Sun Sect. This made them extremely unhappy. But there was nothing they could do besides hide. Gu Yang heard it clearly from the side. However, he did not take it to heart. After hearing this, Gu Yang stood up and left the inn. He walked towards the Black Wind Forest. The Black Wind Forest was extremely ancient. Rumours had long since existed. There were many types of beasts inside. Moreover, because they were at the foot of the Flowing Cloud Sect, to prevent the beasts in the Black Wind Forest from hurting their disciples, the experts of the Flowing Cloud Sect had once attacked and destroyed the Black Wind Forest. They killed all the powerful beasts inside. As a result, there were quite a few ferocious beasts in the Black Wind Forest. It was relatively safe. It could even be said to be a sacred ground for training. Of course, there were still some powerful beasts in the depths of the Black Wind Forest. However, as long as they did not enter the depths, they would naturally not be able to encounter them. Gu Yang¡¯s target wasn¡¯t those Qi Condensation beasts. Naturally, there was no need to go in too deep. There were many ferocious beasts in the Black Wind Forest. Gu Yang had only just walked a short distance when he encountered one. S?a??h th? ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Within a dense bush. Shockingly, a crimson-coloured leopard was lying on the ground! The leopard¡¯s heavy breathing could be heard evenly. It was resting. Gu Yang¡¯s arrival startled it and it awakened. ¡°¡± The leopard let out a furious roar at Gu Yang. Killing intent erupted from the beast¡¯s eyes! Furious in its heart, its powerful hind legs immediately kicked off and charged at Gu Yang. Gu Yang glanced at the leopard. He encountered a beast at the 10th stage of Body Refinement Realm! Speaking of which, this was the first time Gu Yang had encountered a ferocious beast. As he pondered, the leopard raised its huge claws and slashed towards him. The sharp claws tore through the air and emitted a series of sharp sounds. It was full of power! Seeing this, Gu Yang shifted slightly to the side and dodged the leopard¡¯s attack. Without any hesitation, he raised his fist and used his Vajra Fist to attack the leopard¡¯s abdomen. A seemingly ordinary punch instantly landed on the leopard¡¯s abdomen. ¡°¡± A scream came from the leopard¡¯s mouth. The leopard instantly fell to the ground and let out a miserable groan. Its entire body trembled. An enormous bloody hole appeared where Gu Yang had struck. Blood continuously flowed out. The scene was extremely shocking! At this moment, the leopard¡¯s gaze towards Gu Yang was filled with fear. It was obvious that it had never thought that this human who didn¡¯t seem to be that strong would be able to unleash such a terrifying power! On the other side, Gu Yang was somewhat stunned. With just one punch, the leopard that was at the 10th stage of Body Refinement was lying down? Looking at the huge bloody hole in the leopard¡¯s abdomen, he fell into deep thought. It had to be known that even at the 10th stage of the Body Refinement Realm, ferocious beasts were stronger than ordinary human cultivators! In terms of physical strength, the same was true. If the same strength was unleashed towards a human cultivator and a ferocious beast. The power that could cause a human cultivator to vomit blood could only cause it to roar in pain when it landed on a vicious beast. It could not even injure it! For a beast at the 10th stage of the Body Refinement Realm, its physical strength would probably require several cultivators at the 10th stage of the Body Refinement Realm to attack at full strength to kill it. No, to be exact, if he didn¡¯t care about it, the blood of the leopard would be drained in a few minutes. It was equivalent to killing a leopard at the 10th stage of the Body Refinement Realm with a single punch ¡­ Vajra Fist was truly perfect, It was truly terrifying. Gu Yang couldn¡¯t help but glance at his fist and sigh. Of course, he did not sigh for long. In next to no time, his gaze was attracted by a green-yellow medicinal grass. His eyes immediately lit up. ¡°grade-two Qi Gathering Grass!¡± This was a second-grade precious medicine, and it was extremely beneficial for cultivation! It was especially useful when a martial artist broke through to the Qi Condensation Realm. It could increase the probability of breaking through by thirty percent. No wonder there was a leopard at the 10th stage of the Body Refinement Realm nearby. It turned out that it was protecting precious medicine. Gu Yang was overjoyed. He didn¡¯t know if this Qi Gathering Grass would allow him to break through to the Qi Condensation Realm. Gu Yang revealed a look of anticipation. After that, he walked forward without the slightest hesitation and picked off the Qi Condensation Grass. Suddenly, an explosive shout came from behind him! Chapter 4 - White Sun Sects Du Feng! Chapter 4: White Sun Sect¡¯s Du Feng!Black Wind Forest. Three figures were standing in the distance. Judging from their attire, they were the disciples of the White Sun Sect. ¡°I¡¯m so unlucky that I didn¡¯t even get to touch a single ferocious beast.¡± One of the disciples couldn¡¯t help but curse. ¡°Senior Brother Du, what should we do?¡± The other disciple asked the man walking in front. This person was the White Sun Sect¡¯s number one outer genius, Du Feng. Hearing the two disciples¡¯ words, Du Feng¡¯s face was calm and composed. ¡°What are you so anxious about? Even if we can¡¯t find the Qi Gathering Grass, why don¡¯t we wait for the prey at the exit?¡± His face was filled with pride. He had been to the Black Wind Forest many times, and he often could not find resources. After all, the forest was very large. Even though there were a lot of resources, it was distributed throughout a vast area. It would take some luck to find it. If his luck wasn¡¯t good, then he could only rob. In any case, he had done it many times. Every time he succeeded. After all, the White Sun Sect¡¯s reputation was still very great. ¡°Senior Brother is right!¡± ¡°Senior Brother Du is worthy of being the number one genius of our White Sun Sect¡¯s outer court. Once we obtain the Qi Condensation Grass, Senior Brother will definitely break through to the Qi Condensation Realm and enter the inner sect!¡± The two White Sun Sect disciples quickly flattered. They weren¡¯t weak either, they were both at the 8th stage of the Body Refinement Realm. Of course, compared to Du Feng, they were much weaker. Although Du Feng¡¯s cultivation was only two levels higher than theirs, his strength far surpassed theirs. After all ¡­ Du Feng had once killed a Qi Condensation cultivator when he was at the peak of the 9th stage of the Body Refinement Realm! Now, he was at the 10th stage of the Body Refinement Realm, and there was practically no match for him in the same realm! Du Feng also enjoyed this kind of flattery. He raised his head high, but right at this moment, a furious howl suddenly sounded out from the side. The two White Sun Sect disciples were taken by surprise. ¡°Senior Brother Du is it a ferocious beast!?¡± ¡°There are finally ferocious beasts!¡± Du Feng¡¯s eyes also lit up. Without any hesitation, he and the two of them ran in the direction of the voice. Soon, they arrived at a bush. A huge leopard with flower patterns appeared in front of their eyes. It was lying in a pool of blood and was about to lose its aura. On the other side ¡­ An azure-yellow medicinal plant appeared in their eyes. ¡°It¡¯s Qi Gathering Grass!¡± ¡°Senior Brother Du, this is great! With this Qi Gathering Grass, you will break through to the Qi Condensation Realm!¡± Seeing this, the two White Sun Sect disciples were pleasantly surprised. Du Feng was also delighted. He didn¡¯t expect his luck to be so good. When he heard the berserk beast¡¯s cry, he coincidentally ran into a Qi Gathering Grass. But just as they were pleasantly surprised, they saw a man reach out to pick the Qi Gathering Grass. Looking at this, the two White Sun Sect disciples couldn¡¯t hold back any longer. They let out an explosive shout on the spot. ¡°Stop!¡± ¡°Remove your dirty hands! This Qi Gathering Grass belongs to our White Sun Sect!¡± Hearing the voice, Gu Yang turned his head and glanced at them, then directly removed the Qi Gathering Grass. When they saw Gu Yang¡¯s actions, their lungs almost exploded. ¡°You f*cking dare to pick things from our White Sun Sect? Are you looking to die!?¡± ¡°Quickly hand over the Qi Gathering Grass and break your arms. We can spare your life!¡± Their tone was extremely hostile. Even after discovering that Gu Yang was an outer sect disciple, their attitude did not change in the slightest. The strength of the outer sect disciples of the sect was mixed, the difference in strength was even greater. There were naturally geniuses in the outer sect of the Flowing Cloud Sect, and they knew each other. Clearly, Gu Yang wasn¡¯t among them! At the very least, they did not know each other at all! Under such circumstances, they would naturally not hold back. Even if they were to kill him, the Flowing Cloud Sect would ignore it. Gu Yang casually glanced at them and asked indifferently, ¡°You say that the Qi Gathering Grass is yours?¡± ¡°Good! Be sensible and hand in the Qi Gathering grass quickly, otherwise don¡¯t blame us for being rude!¡± One of the White Sun Sect disciples said in a loud voice. Hearing this, Gu Yang chuckled softly. ¡°Heh, if you want to rob me, then just say it. Why do you have to be so pompous and hypocritical? Or perhaps, the disciples of the White Sun Sect are all such trash?¡± Gu Yang¡¯s ridicule caused the two White Sun Sect disciples to jump in anger! This kid ¡­ actually dared to mock them!? Du Feng frowned slightly, then coldly said, ¡°Kill him.¡± ¡°Yes! Senior Brother Du!¡± As soon as Du Feng spoke, one of the White Sun Sect disciples didn¡¯t hesitate at all and pulled out the sabre at his waist. ¡°Brat, don¡¯t blame me. If you want to blame me, blame yourself for not knowing the circumstances and not having eyes!¡± That White Sun Sect disciple¡¯s face was filled with ruthlessness as he raised his sabre. With a loud explosion, he slashed towards Gu Yang. His speed was fast, and his movements were extremely smooth. He didn¡¯t give Gu Yang a chance to react. However, this strike was extremely slow in front of Gu Yang and full of flaws. Gu Yang shook his head indifferently and took a step to the left. He dodged the blade with incomparable ease. ¡°What!?¡± Seeing that the attack was missed, the disciple was shocked. However, before he could react. Gu Yang¡¯s fist had already landed on his chest. A terrifying power erupted. ¡°Ah!¡± A miserable shriek resounded in the sky. Following that, the disciple was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. He crashed into a thick and sturdy tree and then fell to the ground. S?a?ch* Th? n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. He had completely lost his aura! One punch. Insta-kill! The scene before him caused another White Sun Sect disciple to be shocked. He could not help but be frightened. But when he thought of Du Feng, he immediately raised his head and puffed out his chest. That person hid behind Du Feng and shouted. ¡°If you are sensible, then hand over the Qi Gathering Grass. Perhaps Senior Brother Du will spare your life!¡± On the other hand, Du Feng¡¯s expression was also extremely ugly. Perhaps Gu Yang had some strength, but he did not care. At the 8th stage of the Body Refinement Realm, he could instantly kill him with a single punch. He was nothing. Du Feng looked down at Gu Yang. Killing intent flashed in his eyes. Then, he said arrogantly, ¡°Cut your own throat, or else ¡­ I¡¯ll let you know the taste of living a life worse than death!¡± Hearing Du Feng¡¯s words, the White Sun Sect disciple was also quite excited. ¡°Brat! You have angered Senior Brother Du, you¡¯re dead! Suicide might be a good thing for you!¡± He shouted. Hearing their words, Gu Yang revealed a mocking expression. ¡°From the looks of it, I seem to have overestimated all of you. You are not hypocrites, you are just idiots.¡± Chapter 5 - Sword Intent! Chapter 5 ¨C Sword Intent!Whoosh! As soon as Gu Yang said those words, Du Feng immediately glared. An extremely thick aura erupted from his body. The terrifying pressure suppressed the surroundings. Beside him, the White Sun Sect disciple was trembling under the suppression of this incomparably thick aura, his face became pale. ¡°You dare mock me?¡± Du Feng looked at Gu Yang, his eyes filled with killing intent. ¡°Are you deaf?¡± Gu Yang didn¡¯t mind him and continued to mock him. ¡°Good, very good!¡± Hearing Gu Yang¡¯s reply, Du Feng¡¯s fury reached the extreme. There was killing intent in his eyes, but he didn¡¯t say anything further. His qi and blood were boiling as he rushed to Gu Yang¡¯s side in an instant. He slammed his palm hard at Gu Yang¡¯s head. If this slap was carried out, Gu Yang would be beaten half to death, but he didn¡¯t want to kill Gu Yang just like that! He was going to slowly torture him, breaking his bones inch by inch, and tearing his flesh apart, so that he would constantly endure the pain die times over without dying! A trace of unstable emotion appeared in his eyes. Facing this palm strike, Gu Yang¡¯s expression was indifferent as he waved his hand. The terrifying power shook Du Feng away. ¡°Hmm!?¡± Du Feng retreated repeatedly, his face full of shock. Even though he didn¡¯t notice it, he didn¡¯t have the time to block it before being blown away. However, this power ¡­ was not something that an ordinary 10th stage of Body Refinement Realm cultivator could possess. From the looks of it, this brat was also a genius! Since he dared to provoke him, his only future would be death! ¡°Is this all you¡¯ve got? This is the number one genius of the White Sun Sect?¡± Gu Yang calmly looked at Du Feng, his eyes filled with disdain. Hearing Gu Yang¡¯s words, Du Feng was enraged. ¡°Sharp tongue! Since you want to die so much, I¡¯ll send you off!¡± Du Feng roared angrily. He pulled out the sword from his waist. Shockingly, a sword cry rang out. Seeing this, the White Sun Sect disciple revealed a look of joy. ¡°This is it! Senior Brother Du¡¯s strongest trump card!¡± That White Sun Sect disciple was extremely excited. He looked at Gu Yang as if he was looking at a corpse. Even Qi Condensation cultivators were unable to resist this move. Not to mention a mere cultivator at the 10th stage of the Body Refinement Realm! That Outer Court Disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect was dead for sure! At this moment, Du Feng¡¯s aura was already extremely strong. His body quickly moved, and he once again approached Gu Yang. He then raised the longsword in his hand. ¡°Sword cries, beams of light!¡± Du Feng let out a roar, and the sword in his hand erupted with an incomparably strong aura. Then, he fiercely slashed towards Gu Yang! His aura was like a mountain descending towards Gu Yang. Merely this aura was sufficient to cause many people to be terrified. However, Gu Yang stood at the centre of this aura, unafraid. He stood there motionless. It was as if he was going to take Du Feng¡¯s attack head-on. Seeing this, Du Feng¡¯s eyes were filled with killing intent! Faced with his strongest move, he didn¡¯t want to escape and stood there to receive it head-on? Even at the Qi Condensation Realm, others didn¡¯t dare to take a single strike head-on. How could a cultivator at the 10th stage of the Body Refinement Realm have the guts to do so? Thinking of this, Du Feng had no intention of holding back. When he thought of this, his face revealed a crazed expression. The power in his hands instantly increased! The power of the martial skill erupted without holding back. Back then, he had relied on this move to counterattack the Qi Condensation Realm Cultivator! Even Qi Condensation Realm Cultivators were shocked and could only despair by its terrifying power! He no longer wanted to torment Gu Yang, because Gu Yang¡¯s strength wasn¡¯t weak! He was also not confident that he could completely crush him. So ¡­ He just wanted to kill him! At this moment, Du Feng seemed to have seen Gu Yang die miserably under his sword. A victorious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth! The sword was about to descend. Gu Yang also revealed a strange expression. As he pondered, the longsword arrived before him. Seeing this, Gu Yang immediately drew his sword. The Fierce Wind Sword slashed out, and the embryonic form of sword intent lingered on it. The next moment, a ding rang out. The longsword in Du Feng¡¯s hand was severed. Then, Gu Yang¡¯s longsword slashed open Du Feng¡¯s neck. With a ¡®puchi¡¯ sound, Du Feng¡¯s throat was cut open, and his head flew out, blood gushing out. Du Feng had died! After dealing with Du Feng, Gu Yang turned to look at the other side. That White Sun Sect¡¯s disciple was terrified as he looked at this scene with a trembling body. ¡°Du ¡­ Senior brother Du is ¡­ dead!?¡± His face was filled with shock. That Senior Brother Du, who he remembered to be invincible in the same realm, was killed with a single sword strike! ¡°How is this possible!?¡± But seeing Gu Yang walking, he immediately knelt on the ground. ¡°Big Brother Senior! I didn¡¯t mean to offend you. It was all Du Feng¡¯s instructions. Please spare me ¡­¡± He kept kowtowing and begging for mercy. But before he could finish speaking. Gu Yang¡¯s palm had already landed on his head. It was instant. Blood sprayed from his entire body as he lay on the ground, his body completely losing its aura. After killing Du Fei and the other two White Sun Sect disciples, Gu Yang didn¡¯t immediately leave. Instead, he began to frisk the three of them, especially Du Feng. s?a??h th? N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. After all, he was the number one genius in the outer sect. He must have some good stuff on him, right? Gu Yang smiled as he looked at the two first-grade herbs and two low-grade spirit stones he had found on Du Feng¡¯s body. ¡°Not bad.¡± Unfortunately, other than Du Fei, the other two didn¡¯t have fart. This was something that Gu Yang had not expected. Next, Gu Yang changed the age of the Qi Gathering Grass to ten years later. After that, Gu Yang discovered that there was not too much change. He couldn¡¯t help but shake his head. Ten years was still too little time for the production cycle of precious medicines. Although he felt that it was a pity, Gu Yang did not care too much. As long as he broke through to the Qi Condensation Realm, the time he could modify would be extended to a hundred years. This way, the time that could be controlled would become much longer! Gu Yang didn¡¯t stay idle for the rest of the time. Instead, he continued to search for precious medicines and hunt ferocious beasts in the Black Wind Forest. Chapter 6 - Inner Court Selection Chapter 6 ¨C Inner Court SelectionTime passed in a flash. Ten days later. In these ten days, news of the death of the three disciples of the White Sun Sect in the Black Wind Forest spread like wildfire. At one point, Black Wind Town was greatly shaken. Countless people were discussing the news. Some people said that they had accidentally encountered a Qi Condensation beast in the depths of the Black Wind Forest and were killed. However, their corpses could be considered complete, unlike how it would¡¯ve been if they had been killed by beasts. After all, if they were beasts, they would have long since lost their corpses. In addition, the treasures on their bodies had disappeared. One only had to guess with his butt to know the answer. They had been robbed!! After knowing this, many wandering cultivators were extremely excited. After all, the disciples of the White Sun Sect would often rob them. Yet now, they have suffered retribution. They had even lost their lives after being robbed. Served them right! Not long after, a White Sun Sect deacon arrived and brought Du Feng¡¯s corpse back. As for the other two disciples¡¯ corpses, they didn¡¯t even bother about them. The deacon from the White Sun Sect had even asked some of the wandering cultivators as if he wanted to know who had done it. But these wandering cultivators had a grudge against Du Feng. Naturally, they would not say anything. Furthermore, they did not know. Seeing no good news, the deacon of the White Sun Sect quickly left. Gu Yang also heard about the matter, but he did not care too much. During these ten days, Gu Yang would hunt and kill beasts in the Black Wind Forest every day. If he was lucky, he would be able to encounter quite a few furious beasts and obtain some precious medicines. However, when he was unlucky, he only encountered ferocious beasts. He couldn¡¯t see a single Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure. When he was tired from hunting, he would return to Black Wind Town to rest. It could only be said that his luck wasn¡¯t too good. Sometimes, if one was unlucky, one would not be able to obtain anything for two consecutive days. After hunting for ten days. In total, he had only obtained one second-grade medicinal herb and five first-grade medicinal herbs. In addition to the materials of the beast¡¯s corpse, although the harvest wasn¡¯t too much, it still earned ten thousand coins of silver, which was barely acceptable. Then, Gu Yang directly bought a top-grade Spirit Gathering Pill worth ten thousand silver coins. Even though the top-grade Qi Gathering Pills were expensive and could not be used by ordinary body refinement cultivators, the effects of the pills could not be described. After swallowing them, the chances of a cultivator breaking through to Qi Condensation would increase by 80%. In addition, Gu Yang had no way to modify precious medicines like the Qi Gathering Grass, so he would rather sell the Qi Gathering Grass and then buy a top-grade Qi Gathering Pill. There was no other way to seek stability. After all, he didn¡¯t have much confidence in the true nature of this body. Gu Yang then left Black Wind Town and returned to the sect. He had no intention of immediately consuming a top-grade Qi Condensation Pill. This was to break through to the Qi Condensation Realm, but first, one had to cultivate a Qi Condensation Technique. This was also a huge barrier for many cultivators. If one wanted to cultivate the Qi Gathering technique, one would only be able to obtain it after entering the inner court. Only inner sect disciples could be counted as disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect. Only then could they be fully nurtured by the sect. Outer court disciples could only be counted as half disciples. ¡­ Flowing Cloud Sect, Outer Court Square. The inner court selection was nearing, quite a few outer court disciples had gathered here. They were all discussing enthusiastically. ¡°The inner court selection is going to be very intense. I wonder if I have a chance?¡± ¡°Keep dreaming. The inner court selection has a requirement to at least be at the 10th stage of the Body Refinement Realm.¡± ¡°That high? Doesn¡¯t that mean there aren¡¯t many people participating?¡± ¡°Haha, do you think they are the same as you? Our outer court still has geniuses!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about anything else, Ding Xuan will definitely be able to successfully enter the inner court this time!¡± ¡°Indeed, he killed a level-1 beast when only at the 10th stage of the Body Refinement Realm. He has probably broken through to the Qi Condensation Realm, right?¡± ¡°Nie Jin was not bad either! His sword technique was truly ghostly, like an illusion, divine! No one else can compare to him, right?¡± ¡°Who said that? Are you looking down on Zhao Wei?¡± ¡°Hiss, I almost forgot about that ruthless person!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Zhao Wei¡¯s fist is really hard! Even Nie Jin might not be able to guarantee a hundred percent victory!¡± ¡°From the looks of it, the possibility of the three of them entering the inner court in the selection this time around is the highest. As for the others ¡­ they¡¯re likely that none of them will be able to enter.¡± S?a??h the N?v?l(F)ire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. ¡°¡­¡± Listening to the surrounding discussions, Gu Yang, who had just returned to the sect, also had a glint in his eyes. ¡°Three geniuses? At the moment, it seems that nothing can threaten me.¡± Gu Yang paused for a moment before shaking his head and walking to the side. He prepared to register, there were no more disciples in the registration area. After all, there weren¡¯t many disciples in the outer court that had attained the 10th stage of the Body Refinement Realm. Soon, Gu Yang reported his name. Of course, he didn¡¯t directly display his Qi Condensation strength. Instead, he unleashed his physical power. The deacon slowly nodded and memorized Gu Yang¡¯s name. The registration was considered successful. Right at this moment, the bustling crowd suddenly became quiet, seeing this, Gu Yang couldn¡¯t help but look up. Then, he saw an outer court elder standing on the high platform. He slowly spoke: ¡°The inner court selection will begin soon. Before the competition begins, I will explain the rules of this inner court selection!¡± He coughed lightly before announcing the rules. ¡°First, all of you should be well aware of the rules of the competition. Only by reaching the 10th Body Refinement stage would you be qualified to participate!¡± ¡°Of course, if you¡¯re at the Qi Condensation Realm, you can directly become an inner court disciple.¡± ¡°After the competition is successful, the selection will begin!¡± ¡°The rules of the selection competition are very simple. Look behind me.¡± Not far behind the elder, shockingly, there was a duelling ground. ¡°When you enter the corresponding duelling grounds, a ferocious beast will appear inside. If you fight with a ferocious beast, you will be able to enter the inner court if you perform well!¡± ¡°The elders will watch at the beginning of the game, and the best performer will not only be able to enter successfully. At the inner door, you can get ten low-grade spirit stones!¡± Hearing the elder¡¯s words, instantly, the entire square was filled with excitement. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it to be a battle with a ferocious beast?¡± ¡°In the past, I remember it was just some sort of trap. How could it be so difficult this time?¡± ¡°Although it¡¯s more difficult, the rewards are even more generous!¡± Many people began discussing. However, they were talking about the difficulty of this selection. Of course, these outer disciples were not qualified to participate. They were just talking. As for the qualified disciples. They all looked impatient. Seeing this, the outer sect elder did not say much. He waved. Immediately, the deacon with the list walked to the side. ¡°Chen Yue.¡± The outer disciple who was called by the name hurried forward, ready to enter the arena. Of course, after entering the duelling grounds, a ferocious beast was quickly released. The battle was about to begin. In less than ten minutes. The disciple was almost bitten to death. Fortunately, the elder saved his life in time. ¡°Fail.¡± The outer court elder calmly answered. Hearing this, the disciple immediately lowered his head. He quickly walked away. Following that, more and more disciples were called into the arena. ¡­ ¡°Fail.¡± ¡°Fail.¡± ¡°Fail.¡± The outer door elder read out the results expressionlessly. The few of them had all failed, not a single one succeeded! There was even a disciple whose thigh was injured and a large piece of flesh was bitten off by the beast. Even the bones were exposed. Very shocking! This also made many outer court disciples sigh. Sure enough, this time, the inner court selection was even more difficult than before! The outer court elder frowned. Just as the outer elders were feeling disappointed. The deacon also spoke slowly. ¡°Next, Zhao Wei.¡± Chapter 7 - Three Geniuses! Chapter 7 ¨C Three Geniuses!As soon as he finished speaking, a young man walked out from the crowd, instantly attracting most of the eyes. ¡°It¡¯s Zhao Wei!¡± ¡°Is it finally time for him to pass?!¡± ¡°I¡¯m really looking forward to it. I wonder if Zhao Wei can successfully pass the test?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not too sure. From the situation that those disciples challenged earlier, these beasts seem very ferocious!¡± Many outer court disciples sighed with emotion. When the outer court elders saw Zhao Wei, their eyes lit up with anticipation. Naturally, they knew about Zhao Wei¡¯s deeds. In the past, when he was at the 8th Body Refinement Realm, he had faced three 8th Body Refinement Realm White Sun Sect disciples on his own, but in the end, he had relied on his pair of iron fists to kill these three 8th Body Refinement stage disciples one against three! A battle to fame! Now that he had broken through to the 10th Body Refinement stage, his strength must have become even stronger! Zhao Wei quickly arrived in front of the duelling grounds, then directly chose the 10th stage Body Refinement duelling grounds and walked in. A large, Saber-tooth Tiger was released. 10th stage of Body Refinement Realm! Furthermore, amongst the 10th stage of Body Refinement beasts, the Saber Tooth Tigers were the strongest! Its strength was extremely exaggerated! Ordinary Body Refinement beasts at the 10th stage were not its match at all! Zhao Wei looked at the Saber-Tooth Tiger with rapt attention. His face was filled with battle intent. In the next moment, he raised his fist and rushed over. The Saber-Tooth Tiger also let out a furious roar. The man and the tiger collided intensely. A series of muffled booms rang out. The surrounding disciples grinned. ¡°So ruthless!¡± ¡°Zhao Wei didn¡¯t feel any pain after being bitten?¡± ¡°Hiss ¡­ This is too terrifying!¡± S~?a??h the Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The battle between Zhao Wei and the Saber-Tooth Tiger was too intense. If one looked carefully ¡­ Instead of the beast, Zhao Wei looked more like a ferocious beast! It was as though they were fighting with all their might! With a single punch, the Saber-Tooth Tiger kept baring its teeth. On the other hand, when the Saber-Tooth Tiger bit onto Zhao Wei¡¯s body, Zhao Wei had no intention of being afraid at all. His fists were even more powerful! In the end ¡­ The Saber-Tooth Tiger was finally unable to withstand Zhao Wei¡¯s fierce attack. It was finally killed on the spot. The battle was extremely intense and beautiful. However, the elders who were watching the battle seemed extremely calm. Some elders even yawned, as if they were trapped. The outer court elders smiled after taking a look at the comments they had given. ¡°Not bad, passed!¡± Hearing this, Zhao Wei finally heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he passed! However, even though he had successfully passed the selection, his injuries were still a bit serious. He had to bandage it first. Otherwise, leaving behind a hidden illness would not be worth it. He hurriedly went down to bandage the wound. However, many of the outer court disciples present were still sighing with emotion. This was too exaggerated! This life-threatening style of fighting was a little too much. After all, if he were to be careless, he would lose his life. Zhao Wei successfully passed the qualification round. Instantly, some of the disciples at the 10th level of Body Refinement became excited. They felt that they could do the same. In the end, they couldn¡¯t wait to enter the arena after being called out, and then left the arena miserably. After all, Zhao Wei¡¯s fighting style was not suitable for everyone. After some time, the outer court disciples who had been named didn¡¯t dare to go up. They admitted defeat. After all, a beast at the 10th stage of the Body Refinement Realm was truly too strong! At the very least, to them, going up was just looking for a fight. They might as well just give up. As for this, the deacon who had called them was not surprised at all. This was the case every year, and he was used to it. Then, he continued to call the names. ¡°Next, Nie Jin.¡± As soon as the attendant finished speaking, a young man walked out from the crowd. He held a longsword in his hand. His expression was as calm as water, and his body seemed to have an elegant aura. He walked leisurely to the duelling grounds. As soon as he stood up, another wave of excited voices could be heard. ¡°Nie Jin!¡± ¡°Is Nie Jin finally here?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t know how far Nie Jin¡¯s sword technique had gone? It should be very easy for him to pass, right?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not certain that Nie Jin will be able to fight so hard like Zhao Wei.¡± Quite a few outer court disciples were discussing enthusiastically. On the other side, Zhao Wei, who was already wrapped up, also looked at Nie Jin with burning eyes. Nie Jin was his direct competitor. He was also curious as to whether Nie Jin could pass? Following Nie Jin into the duelling grounds, soon, a huge beast was placed in the arena. Nie Jin couldn¡¯t help but reveal a serious expression as he sensed the aura emanating from the fierce beast in front of him. In the next moment, the battle began! It had to be said that Nie Jin was indeed one of the top three geniuses in the outer sect. There weren¡¯t many tricks, but the sword technique in one hand was extremely mysterious and ghostly. Whenever that ferocious beast was about to approach him, his sword would always appear at a strange location and then stab the ferocious beast. The beast retreated in pain. Seeing that Nie Jin was constantly relying on his strength to pull the fierce beast, he didn¡¯t have any temper at all. Instantly, the group of outer court disciples were stunned. ¡°As expected of our outer sect¡¯s second genius, he is indeed strong!¡± It wasn¡¯t just the outer court disciples. Even the elders who were watching the battle on the stage all revealed looks of admiration. ¡°That¡¯s right, this disciple named Nie Jin¡¯s sword technique is still so mysterious. He¡¯s worth nurturing!¡± ¡°Haha, after waiting for so long, a genius has finally appeared.¡± ¡°It¡¯s truly not easy.¡± The elders sighed with emotion. The battle continued for fifteen minutes. This vicious beast was extremely powerful and difficult to deal with. However, Nie Jin wasn¡¯t a weakling either. He clenched his teeth and shook his sword. It was terrifying. The battle continued for fifteen minutes. This vicious beast was extremely powerful and difficult to deal with. However, Nie Jin wasn¡¯t to be trifled with. He clenched his teeth and shook the longsword in his hand, unleashing a terrifying sharpness. That ferocious beast¡¯s attack was immediately blocked. However, it was still torn apart by this terrifying power, piercing through his head and dying on the spot. ¡°Congratulations, Nie Jin. You passed.¡± The outer court elder said to which Nie Jin smiled with satisfaction. ¡°Thank you, Elder.¡± Hearing this, Nie Jin also bowed slightly and thanked him. He left the duelling platform. After seeing Nie Jin¡¯s performance, all the outer sect disciples couldn¡¯t help but look forward to it. What kind of performance would Ding Xuan, the number one in the outer court, would deliver? It was as if he had heard their thoughts. The deacon glanced at the list and slowly opened his mouth. ¡°Next, Ding Xuan!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the entire ground began shaking. Ding Xuan¡¯s ability was known to everyone in the outer court! And his title of number one in the outer court was publicly acknowledged! Naturally, it caused the excitement of countless outer court disciples. Zhao Wei and Nie Jin also looked up, helplessness in their eyes. Their talent was already pretty good but compared to Ding Xuan ¡­ It was still too far off. ¡°Ding Xuan will definitely be able to easily defeat that ferocious beast.¡± Nie Jin couldn¡¯t help but sigh. On the other side, the outer court elders also revealed looks of anticipation. Chapter 8 - The Unlucky Gu Yang? Chapter 8 ¨C The Unlucky Gu Yang?Soon after, a white-robed youth slowly stood up. A dark-green sword hung around his waist, and his body radiated with a transcendent aura. Compared to the other outer disciples, he seemed more like an inner disciple. He bowed slightly to the outer court elders and deacons, then walked towards the duelling grounds. Instantly, the elders watching the battle on the stage all had bright eyes. ¡°Oh? Interesting.¡± ¡°I never thought that there would be such a genius in the outer sect?¡± ¡°This brat is the number one genius in the outer sect? From the looks of it, he is worthy of the title.¡± The several elders were discussing spiritedly. Obviously, they could sense that Ding Xuan was not ordinary. Of course, they had to watch the battle before he could make a decision. Soon, a tiger-shaped beast appeared on the duelling field. This fierce beast seemed wilder and stronger than the one Nie Jin had fought before. Seeing Ding Xuan, the beast let out a furious howl and rushed forward. Facing the fierce beast¡¯s pressure, Ding Xuan revealed a disdainful expression as his physical power exploded out. After that, he stretched out his hand and waved it to easily neutralize the ferocious beast¡¯s attack! Upon seeing this, the elders on the stage immediately revealed the look of surprise. ¡°What intense physical aura!¡± ¡°An outer court disciple actually possess such dense qi and Physical Strength. He is indeed extraordinary!¡± ¡°It looks like there are quite a few methods to deal with the ferocious beast¡¯s attacks so easily without using his qi!¡± The elders nodded in satisfaction. On the stage. One man and one beast fought intensely. However, everyone could tell that Ding Xuan did not use his full strength. The ferocious beast could not even touch the corner of Ding Xuan¡¯s clothes. One could tell from the look in Ding Xuan¡¯s eyes. He was enjoying the battle! It was completely different from Nie Jin¡¯s previous attack! This shocked countless disciples. This was their outer sect¡¯s number one genius! After nine short exchanges. Ding Xuan¡¯s actions suddenly paused as he muttered to himself, ¡°It¡¯s time to end this.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he punched the beast in the head. Waves of thunderous applause rang out from the side. The elders on the stage also nodded and looked at Ding Xuan with satisfaction. The outer sect elder hurriedly opened his mouth: ¡°Congratulations, Ding Xuan, for successfully passing the selection! Excellent!¡± Hearing the outer court elder announce, Ding Xuan was not surprised at all. He raised his head, his face full of pride. To him, passing the selection was normal. What he wanted ¡­ was not just passing the selection. The thing that he wanted was for the title of the strongest! The strongest genius in the selection would be rewarded with 10 low-grade spirit stones! This was his goal! In his eyes, who could compete with this group of crooked people from the outer sect? Thinking of this, he snorted coldly and walked to the rest area. No one cared about Ding Xuan¡¯s pride. A genius would always be more or less arrogant. This was very normal! Soon, the challenge continued. But after Ding Xuan, no one succeeded. After all, the outer court¡¯s geniuses were limited. Only Zhao Wei, Nie Jin, and Ding Xuan could be considered geniuses. It would be strange if the others could pass! ¡°It looks like the winner of this inner court selection is Ding Xuan.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, defeating a beast at the same realm in ten moves is already extremely abnormal!¡± ¡°Even amongst the inner court disciples, Ding Xuan is considered to be on the upper half of the average, right?¡± ¡°Ten low-grade spirit stones, Ding Xuan is going to make a fortune!¡± ¡°Is this over? You¡¯ve already decided that Ding Xuan is the champion?¡± ¡°Haha, he¡¯s new, right? Do you think there¡¯s anyone who can achieve Ding Xuan¡¯s level?¡± ¡°if you want to defeat Ding Xuan, you need to kill a ferocious beast within a few moves. Why don¡¯t you try?¡± ¡°What if there are hidden geniuses in our outer sect?¡± ¡°Hahaha. Why didn¡¯t you directly say that our outer sect had a Qi Condensation genius hidden? If that was the case, why doesn¡¯t he directly show it?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Many outer sect disciples sighed. They were no longer interested in the challenges that would follow. After all, since the end of Ding Xuan¡¯s challenge, there was no longer much suspense in the selection. However, some people felt dissatisfied. The competition was not over yet, and they were already celebrating. Of course, such words were naturally wildly attacked. Right when many disciples were discussing intensely, the deacon paid no attention to the others as he spoke calmly. ¡°The last contestant, Gu Yang.¡± Gu Yang, who had been resting at the side, heard someone call out his name. Only then did he open his eyes and walk out. Seeing Gu Yang come out, some disciples who recognized him widened their eyes. ¡°What is going on?!¡± ¡°Gu Yang had participated in the inner court selection?!¡± ¡°F*ck ¡­ Wasn¡¯t Gu Yang only at the 4th Body Refinement Realm!¡± ¡°Could it be ¡­ that he was hiding his strength?!¡± Of course, not many people knew Gu Yang. Most of them did not recognize him. The outer court elder only glanced at Gu Yang indifferently. Even though Gu Yang¡¯s qi and strength had caused him to be slightly surprised. But that was all. Gu Yang slowly walked into the arena. Soon, a ferocious beast walked out from the huge stone door. It was huge and three meters tall. His imposing manner was thick and heavy, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present. ¡°It¡¯s the Giant Rock Tortoise!¡± ¡°Good Lord, I heard that this guy¡¯s defence is extremely abnormal. Even some Qi Condensation cultivators can¡¯t easily break through his defence!¡± ¡°Hahaha, this Gu Yang¡¯s luck is too bad. He had to encounter this beast!¡± Someone recognized the origin of this beast and immediately smiled. The Giant Rock Tortoise was very powerful amongst the ferocious beasts. It was a bit stronger than the beasts Nie Jin and Ding Xuan faced. Especially in terms of defence, even if Ding Xuan came to challenge it, it would take a long time. At the very least, he would not be able to defeat the opponent within ten moves! ¡°Looks like it¡¯s over.¡± ¡°Look the Giant Rock Tortoise is not afraid.¡± ¡°Only Qi Condensation experts can harm it.¡± On the stage. Many elders shook their heads. It was a pity for Gu Yang. After all, it was very difficult for a cultivator to defeat a beast with extremely strong defence just by relying on its qi and physical strength. Unless he used his True Qi! Even if it was True Qi, it needed to be sufficiently pure and dense! Otherwise, it would be very difficult to succeed! Therefore, when the Giant Rock Tortoise appeared. There was no suspense in the outcome. Gu Yang had no chance! As for Gu Yang, who was standing on the stage, he calmly raised his head to look at the huge creature slowly approaching him. However, in his eyes, this giant rock Tortoise ¡­ seemed to be only a bit large. S?a??h th? n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Thinking of this, he immediately attacked. In the next moment, Gu Yang appeared in front of the giant rock Tortoise. Without any hesitation, he used his Vajra Fist and struck the head of the giant rock Tortoise with his full strength! Chapter 9 - One Blow to the Head! Chapter 9 ¨C One Blow to the Head! In the next moment, Gu Yang¡¯s fist pierced through the layer of leathery armour and into the Giant Rock Tortoise¡¯s body. The Giant Rock Tortoise¡¯s pair of huge eyes suddenly opened wide, and strands of blood appeared. Following that, it let out a heart rendering roar. The head of the Giant Rock Tortoise exploded on the spot! Blood and flesh meshed, scattering in the entire arena. The dense smell of blood immediately spread throughout the entire square! One punch ¡­ Instant-kill! At this moment, the entire scene fell into silence. Those outer sect disciples who wanted to watch a good show were dumbfounded. The Giant Rock Tortoise, which was famous for its defensive ability, couldn¡¯t even block Gu Yang¡¯s fist? ¡°Was he killed by a single punch?!¡± ¡°This ¡­¡± It was not just them. In the resting area. Zhao Wei and Nie Jin¡¯s eyes widened as well, their faces filled with disbelief. ¡°This ¡­ is it real?¡± ¡°Heavens!¡± Everyone was dumbstruck! There was nothing they could do. The scene before them was simply too shocking. They could not believe their eyes. Ding Xuan was unable to maintain his calm. His expression was filled with astonishment. Of course, he wasn¡¯t surprised by how powerful Gu Yang¡¯s methods were. Instead, someone threatened his position as champion! This was no small matter! ¡°Gu Yang!?¡± He muttered Gu Yang¡¯s name. His gaze fell on Gu Yang. On the other side. The outer court elder and the attendant were also stunned. He watched this scene in disbelief. They had not expected Gu Yang to be so powerful. ¡°Wait, the movement technique he had just used was the Shadow Steps, and it was also the perfected Shadow Steps. That was why the Giant Rock Tortoise was unable to react.¡± ¡°Also, that was the Vajra Fist just now!¡± ¡°Vajra Fist!¡± ¡°That¡¯s why he was able to instantly kill the Giant Rock Tortoise!¡± However, it didn¡¯t take long for the outer sect elder to react, his eyes shining with admiration. It was not that easy to cultivate a martial skill to perfection, let alone two martial skills. Gu Yang was a genius with extraordinary comprehension! From the looks of it, this time around, there was an amazing genius! The outer sect elder didn¡¯t hesitate any longer as he watched Gu Yang walk out of the duelling grounds. ¡°All participants have completed their challenge for the inner court selection.¡± ¡°The disciples who have successfully passed the selection competition were: Zhao Wei, Nie Jin, Ding Xuan, and ¡­ Gu Yang!¡± The outer court elder¡¯s voice fell. Many outer sect disciples sighed with emotion. Zhao Wei, Nie Jin, and Ding Xuan also looked at Gu Yang. After all, before the final result was announced, no one had expected Gu Yang to suddenly appear. Even Ding Xuan¡¯s radiance had been suppressed. Gu Yang become the most eye-catching disciple! ¡°Next, we will announce the champion of this inner court selection.¡± The outer court elder¡¯s voice sounded. Instantly, Ding Xuan¡¯s spirit was also highly concentrated. After all, this was related to ten low-grade spirit stones. He didn¡¯t want to hand over these ten low-grade spirit stones! This should have been his reward! When he thought of this, he stared at the outer sect elder with burning eyes, silently waiting. In next to no time, the outer court elders also had no ink marks. He directly announced. ¡°The champion of this selection is ¡­ Gu Yang!¡± Waves of thunderous applause rang out. ¡°He truly deserved it!¡± No one would question this champion. After all, Gu Yang had punched the Giant Rock Tortoise in front of everyone! Even Ding Xuan was unable to do so. Gu Yang was supposed to be the champion, however, soon after the outer court elder had just finished speaking, an inharmonious voice was heard. ¡°I object!¡± After hearing the sound everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice. When the outer sect elder heard this, he frowned and looked at Ding Xuan. ¡°Is there a problem?¡± Ding Xuan immediately said. ¡°Of course! Gu Yang killed the Giant Rock Tortoise with a single punch, so can I! Why was he the champion? This champion should be me!¡± Hearing this, the outer court elder frowned even deeper. S?a?ch* Th? N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. ¡°You used ten moves to kill a ferocious beast, but Gu Yang only used one move. Judging from your performance, you are inferior to Gu Yang. As for your strength, it has nothing to do with us.¡±The outer court elder casually said. Hearing this, Ding Xuan immediately clenched his fists in anger. His gaze directed at Gu Yang. ¡°You! I, Ding Xuan, formally challenge you! Only the one who wins will be able to win the championship and receive ten low-grade spirit stones!¡± Ding Xuan had just spoken. ¡°Oh? You want to challenge the champion?¡± The outer court elder frowned. ¡°Yes, I refuse to accept this champion!¡± Ding Xuan shouted. Although this action made many people around feel displeased! ¡°If you lose, you lose. Why can¡¯t you afford to lose?¡± The other disciples were discussing. However, the outer court elders didn¡¯t care too much about this. Now that there was a good show going on, how could he not watch it? ¡°That¡¯s fine. The two of you can fight once. Whoever wins will be the champion.¡± The outer court elder immediately said. Hearing this, Ding Xuan¡¯s eyes lit up. Gu Yang was speechless. ¡°I refuse. He was number two, to begin with. It¡¯s fine even if he loses, but if I lose I¡¯ll lose the championship reward. Isn¡¯t t that unfair?¡± Hearing Gu Yang¡¯s words, the outer court elder slowly nodded, feeling that it made sense. ¡°Gu Yang is right. If that¡¯s the case, then I¡¯ll make the decision. If Ding Xuan loses, then you¡¯ll take out five low-grade spirit stones and give them to Gu Yang. What do you say?¡± As the outer sect elder spoke, he looked at Ding Xuan. Ding Xuan¡¯s face turned pale. However, he quickly and confidently agreed. ¡°No problem!¡± Although he would have to give five spirit stones if he lost; however, with his strength, there was no way he could not defeat someone in the same realm! It was impossible to lose! Seeing this, the outer court elder looked at Gu Yang. ¡°Gu Yang, what do you think?¡± ¡°I accept the challenge.¡± Gu Yang smiled and accepted it. Naturally, there was no reason not to accept it. Hearing this, Ding Xuan was pleasantly surprised. He was afraid that Gu Yang would refuse. Since he agreed ¡­ This championship reward would belong to me, Ding Xuan! ¡°Very well. Since all of you have accepted it, then ¡­ prepare yourself and begin!¡± The outer court elders also revealed looks of anticipation. After all, Ding Xuan¡¯s strength and talent were not bad. Of course, he was still a bit inferior to Gu Yang. Since Ding Xuan was so confident, he probably had some hidden trump cards. This made him rather curious. Hearing that there was still a good show to watch, the surrounding outer sect disciples who were preparing to leave stopped in their tracks. Chapter 10 - One Sword Move! Chapter 10 ¨C One Sword Move!Soon, Gu Yang and Ding Xuan stood on the duelling field. ¡°Gu Yang, right, you are quite clever. You think you will be able to take advantage of the fact that I have displayed my full potential during the test while trying to get the approval of the elders!¡± ¡°However, you only know how to play these little tricks. In a true battle, my one move ¡­ is enough to defeat you!¡± Ding Xuan stared fixedly at Gu Yang with a cold smile. His tone was filled with confidence. He completely disregarded Gu Yang. Hearing Ding Xuan¡¯s words, Gu Yang couldn¡¯t help but be confused. He felt Ding Xuan¡¯s logic was a little retarded. Gu Yang couldn¡¯t help but feel suspicious. These sects, the outer sect¡¯s number one geniuses ¡­ was there something wrong with their brains? Of course, he was too lazy to talk. ¡°Alright, you¡¯re smart. Let¡¯s cut the crap. If you want to make a move, hurry up. I don¡¯t have time to talk nonsense with you.¡± Gu Yang casually waved his hand. ¡°Hmph! I once obtained a top-grade martial skill, and I cultivated it to a great level. In the same realm, I am invincible!¡± ¡°Even if it¡¯s a cross-level battle, it won¡¯t be a problem. I was just holding back. Otherwise, do you really think you can be compared to me?¡± Ding Xuan laughed coldly, and an extremely pure Qi erupted from his body. Of course, his words were not for Gu Yang. It was for the outer court elders. ¡°Mastery of top-grade martial skill?¡± ¡°¡­ No wonder Ding Xuan said that! As expected, he held back!¡± ¡°This way, Gu Yang really might not be able to compare to Ding Xuan. After all, the Perfect Vajra Fist can¡¯t be compared to a completed top-grade martial skill.¡± A few outer court disciples immediately sighed in shock when they heard this. When the outer court elder heard this, his eyes flickered slightly. However, he did not react too much. ¡°Admit defeat!¡± On the field. Without hesitation, Ding Xuan struck out with his sword. A terrifying black sword qi erupted and slashed towards Gu Yang. Seeing this, Gu Yang¡¯s expression was indifferent as he slashed out with the same sword. s?a??h th? N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. In an instant, the sword Qi collided with Ding Xuan like a gale. However, when the two swords Qi collided, Ding Xuan¡¯s attack was directly defeated. Gu Yang¡¯s gale-like sword Qi continued to strike Ding Xuan¡¯s body, sending him flying, leaving a deep sword mark on his body. This caused the entire scene to fall silent. Ding Xuan was also stunned. He looked at the sword mark on his body. Only then did he realize that he had lost! ¡°How could ¡­¡± Ding Xuan was stunned. How did Gu Yang crack the top-grade sword technique he was proud of? ¡°It looks like Gu Yang won.¡± On the other side, the outer court elder looked at Gu Yang with shock. Three top-grade rank martial skills. All of them were cultivated to perfection! There was such a genius in the outer court! Surprise! This was an unexpected joy! Previously, he had thought that Gu Yang¡¯s ability to practice both martial skills was already pretty good. It seemed like he had underestimated Gu Yang! As for Ding Xuan, although he could be considered a decent genius. However, compared to Gu Yang, he was still quite lacking! But Ding Xuan¡¯s face was filled with dissatisfaction. ¡°No! I haven¡¯t lost yet!¡± Ding Xuan¡¯s face flushed red, clearly unable to accept this result. He raised his sword and prepared to attack again. Seeing this, Gu Yang frowned slightly, there was a trace of hostility in his eyes. ¡°Impudent!¡± Before Gu Yang could make a move, the outer court elder¡¯s body erupted with an irresistible pressure. Ding Xuan almost fell to his knees, unable to hold his sword firmly! ¡°Gu Yang has already held back against you. If he had the intention to kill you, then that sword strike would have taken your life!¡± ¡°You dare covet a foot when given an inch? Are you trying to challenge the dignity of the sect!?¡± After hearing the outer court elder, Ding Xuan¡¯s head was covered in sweat. Fear filled his heart. Provoking the dignity of the sect? He did not dare to wear such a tall hat. He wasn¡¯t a stupid person either. He immediately lowered his head. ¡°This disciple was too reckless. I lost!¡± Of course, Ding Xuan was apologizing to the elder. However, he was still extremely dissatisfied with Gu Yang. ¡°There¡¯s no need to apologize to me. Since you¡¯ve lost, then hand over the spirit stones to Gu Yang. This is a punishment for challenging my decision.¡± The outer court elder¡¯s expression was indifferent, and his final good impression of Ding Xuan had completely disappeared. If he hadn¡¯t intervened, Ding Xuan would have attacked. Then there was only one outcome for him. He would have been expelled from the Flowing Cloud Sect! Hearing the outer court elder say this Ding Xuan gritted his teeth. He reluctantly took out five low-grade spirit stones. After a long while, he finally handed it to Gu Yang. ¡°Remember! These five low-grade spirit stones are for you to hold, I will surpass you and personally take it back from your hands!¡± Ding Xuan stared fixedly at Gu Yang. ¡°Heh, whatever.¡± Gu Yang naturally couldn¡¯t be bothered to pay any attention to this. He put the five low-grade spirit stones in his pocket and ignored him. As the battle between the two of them ended, the inner gate selection competition finally ended. Under the guidance of the outer court elders, the four outer disciples successfully entered the inner court of the sect through the inner court selection. He had finally arrived at the inner court. The biggest difference between the inner and outer doors was the atmosphere! The atmosphere in the outer sect was still rather lax. After all, the outer court disciples were a mix of good and bad, and their strength was uneven. However, the inner court was different. Those who could enter the inner court were not just prodigies, but they could also break through to Qi Condensation. With the gathering of geniuses, the atmosphere naturally became much tenser. Under the leadership of the inner court deacon. The outer sect disciples were all looking at every part of the inner sect with great curiosity and reverence. Including Ding Xuan. After strolling around and understanding some of the rules of the inner court. Under the guidance of the inner court deacons, a few of them arrived at their designated small cottages. This was also one of the main reasons why the outer court disciples wanted to enter the inner court. The inner court disciples all had their small residences. it was a single cottage. It occupied a vast area and belonged to the private domain. It was naturally ten thousand times more comfortable than living outside! After bidding farewell to the inner court deacon. Gu Yang stood in front of his courtyard. He sighed with emotion in his heart. ¡°The treatment of inner court disciples is great.¡± ¡°Other than having a small courtyard, they can choose a wave of cultivation methods and martial skills.¡± Thinking back to what the inner court deacon said before he left, Gu Yang¡¯s heart was filled with anticipation. After entering the inner sect, one could choose a top-grade cultivation technique and a top-grade martial skill to learn. This opportunity couldn¡¯t be wasted! After arranging all the luggage. Gu Yang didn¡¯t stop at all. He turned around and walked towards the inner sect¡¯s Martial Pavilion. Chapter 11 - Select a Cultivation Manual and Martial Skill Chapter 11 ¨C Select a Cultivation Manual and Martial SkillSoon, Gu Yang arrived at the location of the Inner Court Martial Pavilion mentioned by the Inner court deacon. He was stunned looking at the magnificent building in front of him. The difference between this and the Outer Court Martial Pavilion was too great! The Outer Court Martial Pavilion¡¯s space wasn¡¯t too large. Moreover, the building itself looked very ordinary and looked like a small workshop. As for the Inner Court Martial Pavilion. Regardless of its appearance, it occupied a vast area. The space was definitely not small! A solemn atmosphere spread out in the air. This was the appearance of the Inner Court Martial Pavilion! ¡°Sure enough, some of the things in the Outer Court were copied from the Inner Court, but very poorly.¡± After sighing for a while, Gu Yang quickly walked towards the Inner Court Martial Pavilion. Arriving at the door, Gu Yang skillfully took out the jade token representing his identity as an Inner Court disciple. ¡°Elder, this disciple has come to choose the cultivation manual and martial skill.¡± Hearing Gu Yang¡¯s voice, the Inner Court Elder slowly looked up at the jade token. A trace of surprise appeared in his eyes. ¡°Oh? You¡¯re the number one genius in the inner court selection?¡± Hearing the elder¡¯s words, Gu Yang was stunned. It was indeed a bit fast. ¡°Your talent isn¡¯t bad. I heard from those elders that your comprehension ability is very good. You¡¯ve comprehended several martial skills at the perfection level?¡± S?a??h the N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Yes.¡± Gu Yang nodded his head neither servile nor overbearing. Seeing this, the Elders were also satisfied. ¡°Very good. Go in and choose.¡± Gu Yang didn¡¯t say anything and turned to walk into the Martial Pavilion. There were quite a few disciples in the Martial Pavilion. Furthermore, they were all Inner Court disciples. Many people turned their gazes towards Gu Yang, who had just entered. They discussed quietly. ¡°This is the newcomer that just arrived?¡± ¡°I heard that this newcomer has comprehended three martial skills to perfection, and his comprehension ability is extraordinary!¡± ¡°No wonder the elders who saw the inner court selection were so excited.¡± ¡°Heh, it¡¯s just that his comprehension ability is a bit better. Comprehension in the path of cultivation is only a method in the end, and the most important thing is to have a firm fist!¡± ¡°What you said makes sense but you are also jealous¡± ¡°There¡¯s no reason why I¡¯d be jealous of others!¡± Being stared at by so many Inner Court disciples, Gu Yang was also surprised. But he was also very helpless. He had not expected that ¡­ He had just become an Inner Court disciple, yet he was already so famous. However, he did not pay much attention to the surrounding gazes and discussions. He started to carefully choose. ¡°If it¡¯s a cultivation technique, it¡¯s best to cultivate at a relatively fast speed and have a solid foundation.¡± Gu Yang picked from the bookshelves with a pile of cultivation techniques. ¡°The Spirit Defense Technique ¡­ is somewhat erratic. It¡¯s not very stable to cultivate. ¡°The Fierce Yang Technique ¡­ is a bit irritable. Furthermore, it¡¯s easy to go astray in cultivation, so it¡¯s not very suitable. ¡°¡­¡± After searching for a long time, Gu Yang finally found a suitable cultivation technique. He read the Technique in his hand. ¡°Pure Essence Technique, a top-grade cultivation technique.¡± ¡°After training, your Pure Qi would thicken. Your cultivation speed would be relatively fast, and your foundation will solidify. However, in the same realm, your Pure Qi would not be pure enough, and your attacks would not be strong enough.¡± The introduction to the Pure Essence Technique was on the first page of the paper. It was extremely detailed. Gu Yang¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°My Pure Qi is thick and my cultivation speed is relatively fast. Although it doesn¡¯t have the disadvantage of being offensive, it still meets my requirements.¡± ¡°That¡¯s it!¡± Gu Yang held the Pure Essence Technique in his hand. After that, he continued to select martial skills. Now, he had grasped 10% of the sword intent. He had a unique understanding of the sword Technique. A sword technique would naturally be more suitable as a martial technique. Ten minutes later. Gu Yang also found a suitable sword technique. [Windy Cloud Sword Technique] A top-grade Sword Technique. Its characteristic was that the sword technique was extremely elegant, moving with the wind, difficult to grasp! It was in line with his personality. After confirming this, Gu Yang quickly took two techniques and registered them with the elder. ¡°There should be no need for me to say more about the rules. Remember to return these in a month.¡± The elder slowly said. ¡°Understood.¡± Gu Yang nodded his head and then left. Looking at Gu Yang¡¯s departing figure, the eyes of the elder guarding the pavilion shone brightly. ¡°His comprehension ability is so extraordinary. I wonder how long it will take him to fully comprehend this sword technique?¡± ¡°Although it¡¯s only a top-grade sword technique, even if it¡¯s a genius, if he wants to complete it, he¡¯ll have to cultivate for at least half a year. Can he comprehend it within a month?¡± Thinking of this, the Elders shook their heads. Because this thought was rather laughable. One month¡¯s cultivation of the Windy Cloud Sword Technique? Wasn¡¯t that a joke? Even a super genius might not be able to do it. Although it was said that Gu Yang¡¯s comprehension ability was extraordinary. However, he still did not think that it would be so extraordinary. Of course, whether he could do it or not would be decided a month later. Of course, what the elder didn¡¯t know was that he had a cheat. Gu Yang returned to his own courtyard. He immediately flipped open the Windy Cloud Sword Technique. It took him less than five minutes to memorize the basics of the Wind and Cloud Sword Art. Gu Yang thought. ¡°Revise the Windy Cloud Sword Technique for ¡­ ten years!¡± The moment he confirmed the modification. Gu Yang closed his eyes. Following that, boundless memories surged into his mind. The Windy Cloud Sword Technique which was essentially unfamiliar to him, seemed as if he had been cultivating it for countless years. Waves of enlightenment arose. He couldn¡¯t help but use his sword. Gu Yang raised his sword and stabbed. The sound of piercing through the sky resounded! A wave of air seemed to follow. Gu Yang was astonished. After all, he didn¡¯t use much force with this strike. It could be said to be an extremely casual strike. What surprised him was ¡­ The Windy Cloud Sword Technique had been perfected! That¡¯s right! From the beginning until now, less than ten minutes had passed. The top-grade sword technique, the Windy Cloud Sword Technique was directly perfected! If this news got out. It will probably not just be the Flowing Cloud Sect. Even the entire Haonan Province would be shaken! If the Inner Court guard elder knew of this news. Perhaps even his small beard would be torn off. In ten minutes, he perfected the top-grade rank sword technique. This was no longer a problem for geniuses! It was simply impossible! As for Gu Yang. On the contrary, he was extremely calm. After all, it only took ten minutes. But in reality, the words he had to say ¡­ It could also be considered as a result of cultivating for ten years. It was just that he had saved himself this time by opening the hook. He directly harvested the fruits of his training. However, this kind of feeling was quite refreshing! ¡°And ¡­ it seems that my sword intent comprehension has become much deeper!¡± Gu Yang was rather happy. It was not a big deal to cultivate the Windy Cloud Sword Technique to perfection. Sword Intent was the real qi! Then ¡­ It was a cultivation technique. A trace of anticipation appeared in Gu Yang¡¯s eyes. Then, he quickly flipped open the Pure Essence Technique and carefully read it. Chapter 12 - A Hundred Years of Modification! Chapter 12 ¨C A Hundred Years of Modification!To Gu Yang, cultivation techniques were more important than martial skills. After all, his golden finger was directly related to the level of cultivation. If he could not break through to the Qi Condensation Realm, then the time required for the modification would be limited to ten years. Once one¡¯s cultivation level increased, the number of years would increase. Naturally, there would be more things that could be modified! Thinking of this, Gu Yang impatiently flipped open the Pure Essence Technique. He read it carefully. This time, it took a bit longer than the sword technique. It took about ten minutes. Only then did he memorize the Pure Essence Technique. However, this was not important. Gu Yang¡¯s eyes lit up. Then, with a thought. ¡°The time to modify the Pure Essence Technique ¡­ ten years later!¡± The moment the modification ended. Gu Yang¡¯s mind was filled with countless insights into the Pure Essence Technique. At the same time, Gu Yang began to activate the Pure Essence Technique without any hesitation. After training, Gu Yang was also incomparably surprised. ¡°Pure Essence Technique ¡­ directly broke through to the third level?¡± It had to be known that no matter if it was a top-grade or low-grade cultivation technique, there were only three levels in total. If he comprehended the third level, it would be equivalent to perfection! The efficiency of cultivation would also reach its limit! ¡°However, if I can¡¯t reach the third level after ten years, then my comprehension ability is really too weak.¡± Gu Yang sighed with emotion. Without hesitation, he immediately swallowed the top-grade Qi Gathering Pill he had bought. The pill turned into incomparably pure energy that slid down his throat. It flowed through all four limbs and hundreds of bones. Gu Yang felt his entire body burning. Without any hesitation, he immediately circulated his Pure Essence Technique. He began to quickly refine the incomparably pure energy within his body. Time passed bit by bit. In just a short while. Gu Yang suddenly opened his eyes. An extremely mysterious aura erupted from his body. In the next moment, he extended his hand, and deep blue energy condensed in his palm. Leaps flashed, extremely mysterious! ¡°This is ¡­ Pure Qi!¡± ¡°I have finally broken through to the Qi Condensation Realm!¡± Gu Yang waved his hand, causing his pure energy to dissipate. Gu Yang couldn¡¯t help but reveal his Pure Qi when he sensed the dense Qi in his dantian. It had to be said that the Pure Qi from the Pure Essence Technique was indeed incomparably thick. And his cultivation speed was pretty good. He had successfully broken through to the Qi Condensation Realm. Gu Yang was in no hurry to continue cultivating. ¡°A breakthrough in cultivation. That way, the golden finger would also be refreshed.¡± ¡°It can finally modify to a hundred years!¡± Gu Yang was overjoyed. ¡°Modify the Ardent Sword Technique. The time limit is ¡­ a hundred years later!¡± Gu Yang¡¯s eyes flickered with anticipation. Then, he closed his eyes. In the next moment, extremely vast and heavy memories surged into his mind like a tide. Gu Yang greedily absorbed all his memories of the Ardent Sword Technique. His heart was extremely shocked. While absorbing his memories, Gu Yang subconsciously picked up his sword. He waved it. Absorb, comprehend and sword fusion! At the same time, Gu Yang displayed the newly received knowledge. After a while, Gu Yang was pleasantly surprised. Right now, he had already reached the pinnacle of the swordplay. All other sword techniques were extremely weak compared to this! If he combined it with the Windy Cloud Sword Technique. Tsk, even Gu Yang couldn¡¯t imagine how terrifying it was! Other than that, his comprehension of sword intent had also become even deeper! However, it was only close to 20% of the Sword Intent. This also caused Gu Yang to sigh with emotion. ¡°The comprehension of Sword Intent is indeed extremely difficult.¡± Even after a hundred years of comprehension, he was still unable to breach 20% of his Sword Intent. After shaking his head and sighing with emotion, Gu Yang tossed these worries to the back of his mind. Now, his ability had been updated to a hundred years. The other martial skills could also be modified. This was especially the case with the Windy Cloud Sword Technique that had just been modified. Now, there was a chance to improve once more! Thinking of this, Gu Yang didn¡¯t hesitate to modify it. ¡°Revise the Windy Cloud Sword Technique ¡­ a hundred years!¡± In the next moment, Gu Yang¡¯s eyes widened. Various insights regarding the Windy Cloud Sword Technique surged into his mind. When he reached a certain level of comprehension. Gu Yang was shocked. Because he discovered ¡­ After a hundred years of enlightenment, his mastery of the Windy Cloud Sword Technique had changed! S?a??h the n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Improved?¡± ¡°After removing some of the dross and adding some of my understanding, it ¡­ became a low-grade Profound realm sword technique?¡± Only then did Gu Yang realize that the information regarding the Windy Cloud Sword Technique in his mind had changed. It was these slight changes that caused the Windy Cloud Sword Technique to no longer be a top-grade human sword technique. With a shake, it became a low-grade Profound Sword Technique! ¡°I never thought there would be such a good thing!¡± Gu Yang was overjoyed. The difference between the top-grade mortal rank and the low-grade profound rank was not as simple as a single rank. The difference between the two was even more obvious. It was like a chasm! Now, the Windy Cloud Sword Technique had been upgraded to a low-grade Profound Technique. And he had even reached the peak of his cultivation. The combat strength he was able to erupt now had risen by more than ten times! More importantly ¡­ Even his comprehension of Sword Intent had broken through to 20%! ¡°Is this a hundred years of comprehension?¡± Gu Yang was incomparably excited. This harvest could be said to be extremely huge! ¡°Continue.¡± Gu Yang did not turn his head in delight. Other than the sword technique, the cultivation technique and the other two martial skills could still be modified. Naturally, he wouldn¡¯t waste the opportunity! Time passed in a flash. The next day, noon. His cultivation method and martial skill had all been modified. Gu Yang was filled with smiles. However, he never expected that a hundred years of improvement would be so terrifying! Pure Essence Technique After a hundred years of comprehension. It had also improved! From the original top-grade mortal rank, it was directly upgraded to a low-grade profound rank! A total of four techniques had been cultivated to perfection! Right now, his cultivation speed of absorbing spiritual qi had also become even faster! The refining speed was even faster than before! However, Gu Yang hadn¡¯t tried, so he didn¡¯t know how big the gap was! However, the improvement was real! Other than Pure EssenceTechnique. His movement technique, the Shadow Steps, had also been improved. It had risen from high-grade mortal to top-grade mortal technique This way, battles would be even easier. Gu Yang was quite satisfied with this. Of course, Gu Yang was even more astonished. Because even the Vajra Fist! After the enlightenment of a hundred years of enlightenment. It was actually directly improved to the low Profound rank technique! In a hundred years, it had improved from high-grade mortal to low-grade Profound Technique! This sort of comprehension ¡­ From the looks of it, my comprehension ability wasn¡¯t weak? Besides that, I had even comprehended 10% of the fist intent! It could be said to be an unexpected joy! Now he has so many means that he has no objection to saying that he is so terrible. After all ¡­ One low-grade Profound Realm cultivation technique and two low-grade Profound Realm martial skills. And they had all reached the peak of their perfection. This sort of thing was terrifying even in the Inner Court. However, after this modification, Gu Yang discovered a problem. Chapter 13 - Inner Court Gambling! Chapter 13 ¨C Inner Court Gambling!¡°Every modification seems to be related to my current foundation or talent. ¡°I¡¯ve comprehended the Vajra Fist quite deeply, so after modifying it for a hundred years, I¡¯ll be able to improve it to the lower Profound realm. ¡°My comprehension ability in training movement techniques is not that high, so the Shadow Steps was not improved to Profound Level Martial Skills. ¡°Although the Ardent Sword could not be improved, that was because the upper limit of the Fierce Wind Sword was placed there. There was no room for improvement, and as a result, it obtained comprehension of sword techniques that had reached the lower level ¡­¡± A strange light flickered in Gu Yang¡¯s eyes. ¡°I seem to be able to modify both sword intent and fist intent. ¡°But if I modify it based on my current foundation ¡­ ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to endure it.¡± Gu Yang had yet to attempt to modify his sword intent. However, he clearly understood that the concept could also be modified directly. s?a??h th? ?0velF?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Of course, it was only after he broke through to Qi Condensation that he realized this. If I had long realized that I would have changed my sword intent to ten years before I broke through. Ten years of sword intent comprehension. Unfortunately ¡­ However, it wasn¡¯t too late. ¡°Now, I can modify everything for a hundred years. ¡°A hundred years of sword intent comprehension ¡­ ¡°It would probably be even more profound! ¡°But before that ¡­ I have to cultivate my current foundation in the Sword Dao and Fist Dao even deeper first! ¡°When I have flipped through more sword techniques and fist techniques, I would modify the time, increase the foundation of my martial arts, and then modify comprehension of the Sword Intent and Fist Intent ¡­ ¡°And same goes for my cultivation I have to use different methods to improve my cultivation and then modify it. ¡°At that time, the greatest improvement would happen!¡± After all, the effects of a hundred years of comprehension of an ordinary cultivator were completely different from those of a person with a solid foundation in martial skills. Gu Yang had a thorough understanding of the system¡¯s functions. From the slight differences in the previous modifications, he could guess that the gains from modifying cultivation methods, martial skills, and concepts were not fixed, but depended on his foundation. Thinking of this, Gu Yang forcefully resisted the thought of directly modifying his sword intent and fist intent. He calmed down. Putting aside the modification of sword intent and fist intent. His harvest this time could be said to be extremely rich! The worst technique was also a top-grade mortal rank martial skill that was at its perfection. There were even two low-grade Profound realm martial skills. And a low-grade Profound realm cultivation technique! This sort of foundation, even in the Inner Cect, could be ranked! Of course, in the first level of Qi Condensation ¡­ he was naturally the only one! The training was finally over. Gu Yang didn¡¯t continue cultivating. The training was mainly about relaxation. Another point ¡­ He didn¡¯t have many spirit stones on him. He might not be able to improve himself by much. Therefore, he gave up the idea of cultivating immediately. Instead, he went to take a stroll. After all, he had only entered the Inner Court less than two days ago. He hadn¡¯t been around much. Walking on the streets of the Inner Court. On the street, it was rare to see Inner Court disciples strolling around. Most of the Inner Court disciples were either cultivating. Or it was to take a sect mission and go down the mountain. There weren¡¯t many who could stroll around like Gu Yang. However, Gu Yang didn¡¯t take long before he discovered an interesting place. Gambling Hall! There was an explanation about the arena at the door. ¡°If there¡¯s any conflict with the other disciples, there can be no fighting within the sect. If you want to fight, then you can enter this place and engage in a battle of bets. Both sides will each take out their bets, and the winner will be able to win the bet. It¡¯s called a battle of bets, and it¡¯s also used to resolve grievances.¡± Seeing this, Gu Yang¡¯s eyes lit up. This place was rather interesting. Although he did not have an opponent who needed to settle his grudges. But ¡­ He could simply gamble. Thinking of this, Gu Yang entered the arena. The space inside was very large. In the middle were five gambling stages A few disciples were fighting each other. Their attacks were extremely ruthless. Without exception, these disciples were all at the second or third level of the Qi Condensation Realm. Quite a few Inner Court disciples were watching the show. Gu Yang glanced around and discovered that the fifth stage was empty. His heart skipped a beat as he walked over. After that, he wrote a line of words on the sign beside him. ¡°The bet is limited to the 3rd level Qi Condensation realm. The bet is five low-grade spirit stones. The winner will win five low-grade spirit stones. Of course, if you lose, you must give five low-grade spirit stones to the opponent!¡± After he finished writing, Gu Yang directly walked onto the stage. He sat at the side and waited. It just so happened that the battle at the fourth stage next door had ended. Many Inner Court disciples turned their heads to look at Gu Yang. Curious. And within that group of Inner Court disciples ¡­ Shockingly, Ding Xuan was among them. When he saw Gu Yang standing on the stage, his eyes widened. ¡°What is that guy doing?¡± He was somewhat stunned. After that, he saw the sign in front of the stage. Instantly, he was even more shocked. ¡°Really?¡± He was only at the tenth level of the Body Refinement Realm, yet he dared to challenge the Qi Condensation Realm? Furthermore, there was a 4 realms difference. On the other side, the other Inner Court disciples discovered this as well. Instantly, waves of mocking voices sounded. ¡°Yo? A newcomer?¡± ¡°Let me see if I have any requests ¡­ hahaha!¡± ¡°Did this kid¡¯s head get squashed by the door? A newcomer dared to act so savagely? You want to challenge a fourth-level Qi Condensation cultivator?¡± ¡°Tsk tsk, five low-grade spirit stones, I¡¯m a little tempted.¡± ¡°Hey, that brat on the stage, is what you said true?¡± Hearing this, Gu Yang slowly nodded. ¡°It¡¯s true, but be prepared to lose. If you lose and can¡¯t take out the spirit stones, I¡¯m sure everyone understands the consequences.¡± This was also the choice that Gu Yang came up with If someone losses and won¡¯t pay the price Then, the sect would step forward and force that person to pay. Therefore, he didn¡¯t need to worry. ¡°The current newcomers are all so arrogant? Brat, I¡¯ll challenge you!¡± Soon, a third-level Qi Condensation inner court disciple walked up the stage. ¡°Newcomer brat, don¡¯t be too arrogant. But for the sake of giving me spirit stones, I¡¯ll teach you how to respect seniors!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the inner court disciple directly attacked. Pure Qi exploded out. It was wrapped in his hand. He tried to fiercely tap Gu Yang¡¯s shoulder! When Gu Yang saw this, his eyes shifted slightly. He narrowly avoided the disciple¡¯s palm strike. A surprised expression appeared on the disciple¡¯s face. Then, Gu Yang punched that landed on the inner disciple¡¯s abdomen. The Inner Sect disciple retreated repeatedly as his strength erupted. However, this punch was completely useless against that Inner Court disciple. ¡°Hahaha!¡± He couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter. ¡°So weak? Then I¡¯ll accept these spirit stone!¡± Originally, the Inner Court disciple thought that Gu Yang had some tricks up his sleeve. Therefore, he was more cautious. But seeing how weak Gu Yang¡¯s punch was. Even if he didn¡¯t use his Pure Qi to block it, he could still easily withstand it. This was a huge benefit! The Inner Court disciples below were envious. ¡°Is he so weak? If I knew earlier, I would have gone up first!¡± ¡°I originally thought that this newcomer would have some strength. I never thought that he would be so weak. What a mistake!¡± Hearing these sounds. Gu Yang was also delighted. This was the effect he wanted! Gu Yang then began to fight the Inner Court disciple with ¡®difficulty¡¯. In the end, a ¡®lucky¡¯ punch took down the Inner Court disciple. He won the competition. Chapter 14 - Inner Court Genius Ding Hao! Chapter 14 ¨C Inner Court Genius Ding Hao!¡°Thank you for giving up. Give me five low-grade spirit stones.¡± Gu Yang extended his hand towards the Inner Court disciple while wiping the sweat off his forehead as he panted. The Inner Court disciple was also stunned. He hadn¡¯t thought that his luck would be so bad that he would be pushed out of the ring by Gu Yang and lose the match. His expression immediately turned ugly. However, he did not dare to disobey the rules. He reluctantly took out five low-grade spirit stones and handed them to Gu Yang. The reason why Gu Yang did this was naturally to attract more disciples to join the battle. That way, he could earn as many spirit stones as he could. Of course ¡­ The Inner Court disciples were not all fools. ¡°Good! This is pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger!¡± ¡°There¡¯s not even a single drop of sweat on his forehead, but he is trying his best to dig a hole and wait for us to jump!¡± ¡°The one who entered the arena just now was already considered a top disciple among the 3rd level Qi Condensation cultivators, but in the end, he lost to this rookie. Could this rookie ¡­ be the legendary Gu Yang?¡± ¡°It looks like Gu Yang has broken through to the Qi Condensation Realm, and his strength is extremely strong. Five low-grade spirit stones ¡­ forget it.¡± For a moment, the Inner Court disciples saw through his trick. They even guessed Gu Yang¡¯s identity. Hence, they were not as eager as before, but rather worried. After all ¡­ Five low-grade spirit stones was a lot! That was five hundred Contribution Points! As for the defeated Inner Court disciple, he suddenly understood and stomped his feet. He was fooled! He shouldn¡¯t have been in such a hurry to go on stage! Only he lost five low-grade spirit stones! Seeing the suspicious eyes of the surrounding inner disciples. Gu Yang was speechless. S?a??h th? n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Gu Yang had a headache. He had only earned five low-grade spirit stones, and he was not satisfied yet. As he pondered, Gu Yang walked to the side of the arena and added another paragraph. ¡°From the looks of it, everyone seems to be very worried. How about this, the bet has been raised to 10 low-grade spirit stones.¡± ¡°Furthermore, senior brothers at the fourth level of Qi Condensation can also participate.¡± Previously, Gu Yang had mentioned that the 4th level of Qi Condensation was not included. As such, some of the Inner Court disciples in the 4th level of the Qi Condensation Realm were slightly moved, but they were unable to enter. But Gu Yang changed his terms. Immediately, many of the Inner Court disciples who had met the requirements were eager to give it a try. At the same time. In the crowd. Ding Xuan could not wait to pull the hem of an Inner Court disciple beside him. ¡°Big brother, this is a good opportunity!¡± ¡°When Gu Yang was at the Outer Court, he tricked me with five low-grade spirit stones. You have to help me!¡± Originally, Ding Xuan did not hold hope. After all, Gu Yang¡¯s requirements for gambling were quite harsh. He didn¡¯t dare to go up. He had been taught a lesson by Gu Yang before. By now, Gu Yang had already broken through to the Qi Condensation Realm, and he had even defeated a 3rd realm Qi Condensation senior. And he ¡­ had yet to breakthrough. How could he be Gu Yang¡¯s opponent? If he went up to challenge Gu Yang, wouldn¡¯t that be like giving him spirit stones? The Inner Court disciple beside Ding Xuan was Ding Xuan¡¯s big brother, Ding Hao! He could be considered a genius in the Inner Court. His strength was quite high. He had wanted to ask his big brother for help. But Ding Hao was at the fourth level of Qi Condensation. But now ¡­ But the opportunity came. Naturally, he would not let it go. ¡°Oh? Is he that Gu Yang?¡± Hearing Ding Xuan¡¯s words, Ding Hao was also interested. He only had this little brother at home, so he naturally loved him. After Ding Xuan entered the Inner Court, he complained about Gu Yang. At first, he still had some doubts. Was there someone in the Outer Court of the Flowing Cloud Sect who could beat his brother? Now ¡­ Sure enough, he had some skills! However, that was all! ¡°His talent is indeed not bad, but he is too arrogant!¡± ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll help you vent your anger!¡± Ding Hao seemed to not like Gu Yang. With a cold harrumph, he walked forward. Seeing this, Ding Xuan was overjoyed. The moment Ding Hao stood up. Instantly, the Inner Court disciples of the 4th stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, who were all interested, stopped in their tracks. ¡°Since you¡¯re so confident, I want to ask for advice.¡± Ding Hao directly walked into the arena. This scene caused a stir among the countless Inner Court disciples. ¡°Hiss ¡­ Ding Hao wants to accept the bet?¡± ¡°This rookie was able to attract Ding Hao¡¯s interest!?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Ding Hao is our Inner Court¡¯s genius. Although he is only at the 4th stage of Qi Condensation, he has the ability to cross levels! Even a Qi Condensation cultivator at the 7th stage might not be his match!¡± ¡°Haha, this kid is going to suffer! I wanted to make a profit before I left, but I didn¡¯t expect Ding Hao to make a move. This time, I¡¯m sure he¡¯ll lose!¡± In the crowd. Many were shocked, moved, and gloated. Of course, without exception, no one was optimistic about Gu Yang. After all, Gu Yang was only at the 1st stage of Qi Condensation. Even though he had defeated a disciple at the 3rd realm of Qi Condensation. But that was all! After all, his opponent was Ding Hao! But Gu Yang did not know Ding Hao. When Ding Hao stood up, he saw Ding Xuan next to him. He immediately understood. This Ding Hao was probably Ding Xuan¡¯s big brother. He was here to seek revenge. As for the surrounding people¡¯s so-called saying of surpassing one¡¯s level and defeating the 7th stage Qi Condensation realm cultivator, Gu Yang didn¡¯t mind. He only had one goal. That was to get as many spirit stones as he can. On the gaming platform. Gu Yang and Ding Hao stood against each other. Ding Hao¡¯s eyes were filled with indifference. He glanced at Gu Yang casually and said condescendingly, ¡°I heard that you cheated my brother Ding Xuan of five low-grade spirit stones during the Inner Court selection?¡± ¡°He wanted to challenge me, but he lost. I didn¡¯t force him to challenge me.¡± However, Ding Hao didn¡¯t seem to care. ¡°Hmph! I don¡¯t care about that. Since you took five low-grade spirit stones from Ding Xuan, then these ten low-grade spirit stones ¡­ can be considered as compensation.¡± ¡°By the way, I¡¯ll teach you a lesson. My little brother, Ding Xuan is not someone that anyone can provoke!¡± Ding Hao looked as if no one was looking at him. Then, he raised his fist and threw it at Gu Yang. It was as if from his point of view, he had punched him. The result was decided. He ¡­ definitely would win! Chapter 15 - Fist Intent Embryonic Form! Defeating Ding Hao! Chapter 15 ¨C Fist Intent Embryonic Form! Defeating Ding Hao!4th stage of Qi Condensation compared to the 1st stage of the Qi Condensation. The difference in strength was incomparably huge. Ding Hao didn¡¯t even use too many techniques while punching. He merely wrapped it with his rich Pure Qi around it. It was such an ordinary punch. Not many people present could block it! His Pure Qi was thick. Even in the same realm, few people were his opponents! Not to mention a mere 1st stage Qi Condensation cultivator? The surrounding disciples did not have any objections. In their eyes ¡­ Gu Yang couldn¡¯t take this punch! Ding Xuan couldn¡¯t wait to see Gu Yang flying! He stared at the stage with his eyes wide open. As for Gu Yang, he saw Ding Hao¡¯s fist landing. His expression was indifferent. Then, a thought flashed through his mind. At the same time, he threw a punch with only Pure Qi! The two fists collided in the air. The powerful impact also caused their bodies to sway. In the end, Gu Yang took half a step back. Meanwhile, Ding Hao stood in place, extremely stable. Ding Hao seemed to have the absolute advantage. But ¡­ Ding Hao didn¡¯t show any joy on his face. Instead, his eyes widened. An expression of disbelief appeared on his face. He actually blocked his fist. Furthermore, he only used his Pure Qi and didn¡¯t use any martial skills! After the collision, he only took half a step back! Immediately, Ding Hao felt his face turning red. This was simply a slap to the face! As an Inner Court genius, he was an existence that could cross levels to fight a 7th stage Qi Condensation cultivator! He was almost tied by a 1st level Qi Condensation brat. This was completely unacceptable to him! His heart was incomparably furious. Waves of anger surged in his eyes. The crowd became even more astonished. ¡°What just happened? Am I seeing things?¡± ¡°Both of them only used Pure Qi, but Gu Yang only took half a step back?¡± ¡°Could it be that Gu Yang is on par with Ding Hao?¡± ¡°Im-Impossible! That Gu Yang is only at the 1st stage of Qi Condensation!¡± ¡°Look! Ding Hao is also furious! It looks like he is going to use his real strength!¡± ¡°It looks like Gu Yang won¡¯t have a chance!¡± In their astonishment, they saw the aura rising from Ding Hao¡¯s body. It was clear that Ding Hao was going to make a move! This way ¡­ There would be no suspense in the battle! After all, even a 7th stage Qi Condensation cultivator might not be a match for Ding Hao when he was in character! Although he didn¡¯t know how Gu Yang managed to stabilize himself in the fight. But this was not important. The important thing was ¡­ Gu Yang was definitely going to lose! ¡°You¡¯re lucky to be defeated by me!¡± Anger appeared on Ding Hao¡¯s face as he slowly pulled out his sabre from his waist. He immediately raised his sabre. At the same time, an explosive shout sounded from his mouth. ¡°Ethereal Slash ¡­ Explode!¡± The instant the shout came. A mysterious power quietly enveloped the blade. Instantly, his aura increased several times! Seeing this scene, many Inner Court disciples were in a frenzy! ¡°The rumours are true!¡± ¡°Blade Intent ¡­ Ding Hao has indeed comprehended it¡± ¡°Even though it¡¯s only the embryonic form of Blade Intent, it¡¯s already a rare opponent in the same realm!¡± ¡°Even in the Inner Court, Ding Hao is definitely a top-ranked genius!¡± ¡°This is the power of intent? How terrifying!¡± ¡°It would be great if I could also comprehend the power of intent.¡± ¡°Alright, stop dreaming.¡± When Ding Hao pulled out his blade and displayed the embryonic form of his Blade Intent, the surrounding inner disciples had already forgotten about Gu Yang. Then what will Gu Yang use to win? Thus, almost all of the Inner Court disciples understood. The battle had ended! However, Gu Yang, who was standing at the centre of the stage and facing this terrifying aura, seemed extremely calm. ¡°Blade Intent embryonic form? There really is something.¡± Gu Yang muttered. Faced with the terrifying blade energy surging towards him. Gu Yang slowly raised his fist. ¡°Vajra Fist!¡± A burst of golden light suddenly appeared, enveloping Gu Yang¡¯s fist. At the same time, Gu Yang didn¡¯t hesitate at all. A wisp of mysterious intent slowly rose from his fist. Immediately, the golden light grew even denser. It was incomparably dazzling. It was like a miniature sun! It was eye-catching. Everyone became shocked! The next moment. The fist and blade collided into the air. A terrifying power erupted. The impact swept towards the arena with the two as the centre. Instantly, the true gale spread like waves. Quite a few Inner Court disciples could not help but burst out with their Pure Qi to block this terrifying impact. After a loud sound. Everyone hurriedly looked at the fighting stage. However, they were shocked to discover ¡­ Ding Hao¡¯s face was pale as he fell under the stage. His entire body was in an extremely sorry state. On the other hand, Gu Yang was standing on the stage calmly. He was as stable as a boulder! This shocking scene caused all the inner court disciples to be dumbfounded! ¡°What ¡­ happened?¡± ¡°Ding Hao ¡­ lost?!¡± ¡°Terrifying! Too terrifying! That Gu Yang ¡­ is he just a newcomer?¡± ¡°Intent! Another intent! Gu Yang had grasped the power of the intent. Although it was still in its embryonic form, it was stronger than Ding Hao¡¯s!¡± ¡°Abnormal! When did the power of intent become this easy to comprehend.¡± Everyone looked at Gu Yang. Their gaze was filled with shock and astonishment! On the other side, Ding Xuan was even more dumbfounded. ¡°Im-Impossible!¡± ¡°How could he have comprehended the intent?!¡± ¡°This is impossible!?¡± Of course, no matter how Ding Xuan retorted. Undoubtedly ¡­ At this moment, Gu Yang was the brightest disciple in the crowd! However, Gu Yang himself did not care about these things. He slowly walked towards Ding Hao. At this moment, Ding Hao had yet to recover his senses. ¡°I lost?¡± ¡°I actually lost? ¡°And I lost to a newcomer who had just broken through to Qi Condensation? S?a??h th? N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. How was this possible!? Gu Yang walked forward. It was only then that he suddenly recalled the scene from just now. That punch ¡­ contained an extremely exaggerated amount of power! If it wasn¡¯t for the Ethereal Opening Slash that he¡¯d used to offset a portion of his strength. He would probably lose half of his life! He was simply like an old monster that had cultivated for over a hundred years, and his fist technique was exquisite and meticulous! It was hard to imagine that this was a fight by a newcomer! ¡°You lost,10 low-grade spirit stones.¡± Gu Yang didn¡¯t waste his breath and didn¡¯t bother to talk to Ding Hao about anything else. Instead, he reached out to ask for spirit stones. Hearing this, Ding Hao¡¯s eyes were filled with mixed emotions. However, he quickly took out ten low-grade spirit stones from his breast pocket. To him, this was quite a fortune. Now that he had lost, he was in a bad mood. But there was nothing he could do. Chapter This is experiment, what it become depends on you--Readers.
