40: Everyone challenged and went to watch the fight.

Inside the pavilion.

As soon as these words came out, the many Disciples present became extremely quiet, and many of them looked at Zhou Xuan with expressions full of shock.

Their eyes were filled with strong disbelief and incomprehension.

Zhou Xuan's lips curled into a sneer, and he ignored Lv Feng, whose face was as ugly as if he had eaten shit, and turned around to disappear into the pavilion.

Looking at his departing back, Lv Feng's eyes were extremely gloomy, then he smiled sinisterly and whispered,

"What an ungrateful fellow, wanting to defeat me in the Fengyun Mountain Climbing Test is simply wishful thinking!"

"I'm waiting for you to make a fool of yourself in the entire Qingxuan Sect…"

Lv Li stood beside Lv Feng, a playful smile on his lips, and said,

"Brother, I didn't expect this Zhou Xuan to be truly ignorant of death. He still wants to compete with you. Without your guidance, he probably wouldn't even be able to open his first meridian!"

The other Disciples in the pavilion, seeing this, also couldn't help but smile inexplicably on their faces, and then burst into laughter together.

"I'm dying of laughter, this Junior Brother Zhou Xuan has just Broken Through to the Linghai Realm and become a Core Disciple. How can he even compete?"

"Exactly, every Wind Cloud Mountain Climbing Test, Senior Brother Lv Feng comes in first. I didn't expect someone to actually try to compare with Senior Brother; he's simply asking for humiliation!"

"Senior Brother Lv Feng, we all want to go and see how ignorant Zhou Xuan is then."

"…"

Inside the pavilion, many Disciples burst into laughter, their tones full of surprise and disdain.

At the same time, most of these people had some intentions, which was to spread today's events throughout the Qingxuan Sect, so that Zhou Xuan could lose even more face.

Especially Lv Li, who had been defeated by him, was secretly fanning the flames of this matter.

...

Just after walking out of the pavilion, Zhou Xuan's face also became somewhat gloomy. He hadn't expected his luck to be so bad.

The Guardian Elder who offered a free lecture on the Earth Grade Middle Rank Martial Skill 'Flowing Wind Flash Shadow' turned out to be Lv Li's older brother.

"My luck is so bad that even dogs would shake their heads. But I don't believe it; I can't Cultivate this Martial Skill within a month."

A faint flame flickered in Zhou Xuan's eyes, and he exhaled a long breath. Then, his body flashed, and he arrived at the inner Sect's back mountain Cultivation area.

After all, movement-type Martial Skills were indeed a bit difficult to practice in his small courtyard.

...

Mountain stream.

The winding waterfall struck the rocks, emitting a thunderous roar.

Zhou Xuan sat on a green mountain rock beside the lake, his eyes slightly closed, his aura restrained, as if he wanted to Fuse with this world.

Especially the Spiritual Qi in his body was slowly flowing according to the meridians within 'Flowing Wind Flash Shadow'.

This Earth Grade Middle Rank movement-type Martial Skill mainly involved opening up nine meridians in one's body. When fully completed, one's speed would be like fusing into the wind.

Even one's entire body would seem to Fuse into the air, and one's speed would increase to an unprecedented degree.

"Why does it feel like if I Cultivate it to Perfection, it'll be a bit like virtualization?"

Zhou Xuan also shook his head helplessly, and then without any hesitation, he began to use his Mental Energy to introspect his body, and then began to flush his meridians over and over again.

This process was indeed extremely boring, but Zhou Xuan himself had no ripples in his heart. With a calm mind, he continuously used the meridians in his body to flush them.

However, during the flushing process, Zhou Xuan suddenly had an urge to curse. The meridians recorded in this Martial Skill were extremely obscure.

Trying to force Spiritual Qi in to flush them was like trying to poke a hard tree with a soft, floppy object.

However, Zhou Xuan didn't hesitate at all. Instead, he unhesitatingly mobilized his Spiritual Qi and directly charged into the meridians recorded in the text.

After all, under the nourishment of various Heaven And Earth Treasures, the strength of his meridians had already reached an extremely terrifying level. Even if he charged casually, there wouldn't be many problems.

Boom!

The Spiritual Qi crashed like tentacles. After about sixty more times like this.

Hiss!

A familiar sharp pain came from the meridian, and then his entire meridian was opened, and then countless Spiritual Qi began to continuously flush it, establishing a connection with the meridian.

The moment Zhou Xuan felt his first meridian open, the pure Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth also directly roared over, as if his body had become much lighter.

Zhou Xuan's eyes flickered with surprise, then he opened his eyes, his gaze filled with fervor.

He hadn't expected it would only take half a day to open the first meridian.

"My meridian strength is indeed good!"

Zhou Xuan couldn't help but praise. Under the various critical strike rewards from the System, his current potential, even within the entire Sect, could rival that of some Saints and Saintesses!

Or rather, his potential was even stronger than theirs.

Zhou Xuan's eyes were filled with Battle Intent, almost spitting fire, and then he muttered softly,

"Lv Feng, I want to see what strength you have in a month's time?!"

He only needed about half a month more, and he would be able to open about three meridians of this Martial Skill. In a month, he might even be able to open the sixth one.

At that time, he would beat that dog's shit out of that dog!

In the following days, apart from his daily Cultivation of Spiritual Qi, Zhou Xuan basically spent the rest of his time Cultivating 'Flowing Wind Flash Shadow'.

Now, he was only a step away from opening his second meridian.

...

Of course, while Zhou Xuan was immersed in diligently Cultivating the Earth Grade Middle Rank Martial Skill, within the entire inner Sect, many people also spread the news of Zhou Xuan's challenge to Lv Feng a few days ago.

The source of the commotion, naturally, was Lv Feng and the few others who were present at the time. Therefore, it can be said that it caused quite a stir throughout the entire Qingxuan Sect.

As a result, the Wind Cloud Mountain Climbing Test, which was not particularly famous in the past, quickly became the most talked-about event in the entire Sect over the past month.

Of course, the biggest topic of discussion was still the Selection Ceremony, which was more than two months away.

At this moment, in a certain pavilion, there were two men with similar appearances. One of them was Qi Shan, who had been defeated by him.

The man beside him looked to be only in his early twenties, with a tall and straight figure, a face like jade, and a faint, almost imperceptible cold smile playing on his lips.

"Big Brother, this Zhou Xuan is truly arrogant to dare to compete with Lv Feng in the Wind Cloud Mountain Climbing Test?"

Qi Shan sat beside a tea table, took a shallow sip of tea, and couldn't help but sneer.

Qi Yue clasped his hands, a mysterious smile on his lips, and said,

"Although Lv Feng is not very strong among the True Disciples, it cannot be denied that he is not someone who has just become a Core Disciple can compare to."

"Junior Brother Zhou Xuan, in the end, is just asking for humiliation!"

"Big Brother, when the Wind Cloud Mountain Climbing Test happens, let's go and see it in person!"

Qi Yue's eyes also flickered with a sense of satisfaction, and his face showed a feeling of having gotten his revenge.

Lv Feng's combat power was indeed not good, but he was not someone who had just stepped into the Linghai Realm like Zhou Xuan could compare to.

Moreover, he was also a lecturer of Earth-Grade Martial Skills.

Qi Yue and Qi Shan exchanged glances, both able to see a playful look in each other's eyes.
