Promoted to the middle stage of Danhu, the competition begins

The matter of the Sect Competition was like a giant rock falling into a lake, heavily smashing into the calm Spirit Sword Sect.

It instantly heated up the situation.

Almost all the disciples began to cultivate in seclusion. Although a mere month couldn't elevate the Cultivation Level of most disciples,

As the saying goes, sharpening the spear before battle, even if not fast, it will shine.

This scene inexplicably reminded Xiao Ming of his student days in his previous life, studying hard for exams.

Xiao Ming was in excellent condition.

Through continuous cultivation, the true essence within him grew denser, and he began to show signs of breaking through to the Danhu Realm mid-stage.

During this period of continuous cultivation, the Spirit Sword Sect remained undisturbed.

The Murong Family from the City Lord's Mansion did not come to cause trouble.

This was good news.

Time passed bit by bit.

Apart from eating and sleeping, Xiao Ming spent all his remaining time in his room cultivating diligently, and the rewards were very pleasing.

When there were only three days left until the one-month deadline.

“Buzz~”

The elemental energy in the room vibrated, and a powerful aura, like a storm, suddenly surged out from Xiao Ming's body!

The aura swept out, directly forming a rustling gale above the small courtyard!

Amidst the rustling gale, Xiao Ming opened his eyes, and immediately, two streaks of five-colored sword qi shot out from his pupils, hissing in the air.

“Danhu Realm mid-stage…”

Feeling the immense power within his body, Xiao Ming murmured to himself, a smile spreading across his face.

After nearly a month of cultivation, his Cultivation Level finally advanced further, reaching the Danhu Realm mid-stage!

This cultivation speed wasn't particularly astonishing, but it was certainly not slow.

After all, after reaching the Danhu Realm, every small Cultivation Level advancement required a large amount of cultivation resources, and even the aid of fortuitous encounters.

“With my yellow Luck, I probably can't advance again within a month,” Xiao Ming thought to himself, “I can clearly sense that the power of Luck emanating from Hu Yunxi helped me greatly, allowing me to break through to the Danhu Realm mid-stage.”

“It seems that taking Hu Yunxi as a maid back then was the right move…”

He sighed.

Xiao Ming opened his Life Script attribute panel, and immediately, his information appeared before him:

host: Xiao Ming

Cultivation Level: Danhu Realm mid-stage

Destiny: Extraordinary Luck (Yellow), Luck Endowed (Temporary)

Physique: Five Elements Saint Body (Supreme Saint Body)

Main Cultivation Technique: Imperial Sky-Shocking Sword Art Fifth Layer (Heaven Rank)

Movement Technique: Wind Spirit Step (Earth Rank)

Weapon: Nu Lei Sword (Earth Rank)

Martial Arts: Hundred Shadow Frenzy Slash, Shattered Moon Slash, Sword Control Technique, Shattered Yuan Sword Qi, Severing Qiankun (Minor Accomplishment)

Special Martial Arts: Danhu Realm Grand River Sword Intent (Complete)

Life Script: The host killed Zheng Jian, devoured his yellow Luck, and was influenced by Hu Yunxi's heaven-defying Luck. His own destiny has changed to a certain extent.

Recent Fortuitous Encounters: The host is influenced by Hu Yunxi's heaven-defying Luck, increasing his Luck, making it easy to obtain some extraordinary good fortuitous encounters.

After looking at his attribute panel, Xiao Ming casually closed it.

Then his consciousness slowly sank as he began to examine the state of his Dan Lake.

He saw that the Dan Lake within him was deeper than before, and the true essence liquid inside had increased by at least several times, and it was also much stickier.

It was as if it was in a solid state.

In addition, the five-colored spiritual light emanating from the Dan Lake was also more dazzling.

Moreover, the true essence liquid seemed to have solidified with the five-colored spiritual light, becoming one, completely fused.

“Leaving aside other things, just the concentration of the five-colored liquid in my Dan Lake, and the abundant energy it contains, has probably already reached the level of Danhu Realm late-stage or even Danhu Realm Great Perfection!”

“This means that although my Cultivation Level is Danhu Realm mid-stage, my actual combat power can already rival Great Perfection powerhouses.”

Xiao Ming was quite pleased.

The true essence liquid in the Dan Lake was the foundation for cultivators at this level.

The more and denser the true essence liquid, the stronger the martial arts that the cultivator could unleash!

Xiao Ming could intuitively feel it.

With his current mid-stage Cultivation Level, he could at least use Severing Qiankun five times!

Moreover, the power of the Severing Qiankun he unleashed, as well as other sword techniques, had also become much stronger with the improvement of his Cultivation Level.

After a period of joy.

Xiao Ming did not get up, but chose to continue cultivating.

This time, he was cultivating Shattered Yuan Sword Qi.

As he broke through to the Danhu Realm mid-stage, the Shattered Yuan Sword Qi could be compressed to a quantity of ten.

The power of Shattered Yuan Sword Qi was also very astonishing, and it was also a hidden sword technique that consumed energy and caught people off guard, making it one of Xiao Ming's trump cards.

As cultivation continued, the fluctuating elemental energy in the room gradually calmed down.

The true essence liquid in his body was powerfully compressed bit by bit, forming Shattered Yuan Sword Qi, which Xiao Ming then stored one by one within his body.

Three days later.

Xiao Ming walked out of the small courtyard and, using Wind Spirit Step, sped towards the plaza.

By this time, he had already completed cultivating ten Shattered Yuan Sword Qi, and all of them were stored within his body.

Whoosh!

The sound of air breaking echoed.

Xiao Ming was like an invisible gust of wind, or a ghost, moving at an extremely fast speed across the ground.

Soon.

Xiao Ming arrived at the Sect Plaza.

His gaze swept across, only to see the plaza already filled with various disciples of varying strengths, and in the center of the plaza, a square arena stood tall.

The arena was about ten meters long and wide, and about three stories high, like a magnificent palace, very eye-catching.

In the distance from the arena, there were rows of empty seats, clearly meant for the Sect Master Li Changfeng and the elders.

And around the plaza, even more disciples were arriving from all directions.

These disciples were of all kinds, with varying strengths, and most of them were probably just there to watch the excitement.

After all.

The sect wanted the top three most outstanding individuals, and normal people had self-awareness, especially those disciples with very weak strength.

They dared not easily step onto the stage.

If they insisted on going up, the only outcome would be defeat, and if they were even more arrogant, they would lose face in front of everyone.

After a while longer.

Li Changfeng, accompanied by a group of elders, arrived belatedly.

Li Changfeng looked at the sky, seeing the sun hanging high, warm sunlight pouring down, with fair weather and clear skies, not a cloud in sight.

Seeing that the time was right, Li Changfeng waved his hand and said, “The competition begins now! Disciples with aspirations can freely step onto the stage to display their strength!”

“Oh, and,” Li Changfeng suddenly thought of something and added, “There are two rules for the competition, and you all must listen carefully.”

“First, no ruthless attacks are allowed on the arena, and certainly no fatalities. Because each and every one of you is a treasure of the sect, and even if you die, you must not easily die at the hands of your own people!”

“Second, once you are knocked off the arena, or you verbally concede, you are considered defeated. The winner automatically accepts the next challenge!”

“The rules have been explained, now let's begin!”

After speaking, Li Changfeng led the group of elders and sat down in the distant seats.

Then, he watched the arena with keen interest.

Around the arena, the numerous disciples looked at each other, and for a moment, no one stepped onto the stage.

A strange atmosphere inexplicably emerged in the air.

Just as everyone was hesitating, a disciple suddenly stepped forward. He used his hands and feet, quickly climbing onto the high platform like an ape.

Everyone quickly looked over.

They saw that this person was actually wearing the clothes of a Servant Disciple!

“My name is Guo Xu, a Servant Disciple of the sect. Today, I ask for guidance from all senior brothers,” Guo Xu cupped his hands to the surroundings and then loudly proclaimed,

“Which senior brother dares to fight me?!”
