182: Full of fighting spirit! Fighting head-on!

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Zhen and the others’ eyes lit up.

Li Shengyuan’s extra reward!

This was a reward given by a top-tier second-grade expert; how generous must it be?

Liu Zhen and the others were so excited they couldn't close their mouths.

“To make you bleed a little, I’ll reserve one of the top three spots first!” Liu Zhen said confidently.

The others also said, not to be outdone, “Boss, don’t be too confident; we’re not to be trifled with either!”

In an instant, everyone rolled up their sleeves, full of drive.

Seeing how excited they were, Li Shengyuan looked at Liu Zhen and the other two, smiling slightly, and said,

“Don’t disgrace the Golden Uniform, brothers. If you get beaten down by the other brothers who later broke through to the fourth grade, don’t say I know you!”

“Don’t worry, no problem!” Liu Zhen and the other two smiled confidently; they had all experienced it inside and had some idea of what to expect.

Li Shengyuan then looked at the six fourth-grade Silver-Robed Demon Suppression Envoy and smiled, “Brothers, put in more effort! If you can pull these three guys down, I’ll give you an additional reward!”

“Li Boss, just watch; we must pull them down!”

The six immediately had their eyes gleaming, and their breathing became much heavier.

Double rewards!

They were going to get rich!

Seeing their strong competitive spirit, Li Shengyuan also smiled in satisfaction, “Alright, everything is almost ready, so let’s begin!”

“We’ll see the true results in ten days!”

As soon as Li Shengyuan finished speaking, Liu Zhen was the first to rush into the Heavenly Tribulation Dojo, leaving behind a burst of wild laughter.

“Little brothers, wait for your big brother to teach you to recognize reality!”

The remaining few were not to be outdone and flew after him.

After entering the dojo’s range, everyone’s steps slowed down.

People from other major sects looked at this scene with immense envy, truly wanting to rush up, hug a leg, and say, “I want to too…”

The rewards Li Shengyuan gave were too tempting.

It was a pity that this was an activity of the Demon Suppression Division itself.

At this moment, Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin’s expression changed when he saw this. Looking at the highly motivated Liu Zhen and the others, he also said to the more than ten fourth-grade cultivators of the Qingyang Sect:

“If any of you are among the top three, this Sect Master will also have a reward!”

The Qingyang Sect disciples’ eyes immediately lit up, and they said in unison,

“Please rest assured, Sect Master; we will not disappoint you!”

Then, everyone followed and rushed into the dojo.

Chen Qingxuan watched with envy, looking eagerly at Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin and saying, “Sect Master, can I also participate?”

“Of course!” Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin smiled and nodded.

“Really?!” Chen Qingxuan was overjoyed.

“However, you will be competing against the third-grade cultivators from other major sects. If you can rank in the top three after ten days, I will also give you a reward!” Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin said with a smile, his hands behind his back.

The smile on Chen Qingxuan’s face instantly froze, “How can I compete with that…?”

Any of the others had broken through to the third grade at least seven or eight years ago; their accumulation was something he couldn't compare to. Not everyone was a monster like Li Shengyuan!

The next moment, Chen Qingxuan gritted his teeth and said, “For the Sect Master’s reward, I’ll risk it all!”

After speaking, he flew into the dojo…

Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin also revealed a satisfied smile at this sight.

With Chen Qingxuan and Liu Zhen leading the way, others also poured in from various directions.

Although there were many cultivators gathered at Shanhai Pass, there were only a few hundred above the fourth grade.

While other sects also emulated them by offering rewards, they could only give to the first place, as they couldn't compare to the vast resources of Li Shengyuan and Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin; a third-grade asset was far inferior to a second-grade one…

Compared to the Tribulation Transcending Dojo, which covered an area of over ten li, even if everyone stood together, they would only be insignificant black dots.

Linghu Chong glanced at Li Shengyuan’s location, then resolutely followed the crowd into the Tribulation Transcending Dojo.

Previously, his master, Sword Saint Dugu, was his lifelong pursuit, and now there was also Li Shengyuan!

Seeing that almost everyone had entered, Li Shengyuan looked at Shen Xinrong, Yue Xiyan, and Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin beside him and smiled,

“Let’s go in too!”

“Okay!”

The three nodded in agreement and entered the Tribulation Transcending Dojo together.

Shen Xinrong’s cultivation was not high enough, so she could only wander in the outermost area for now.

After letting her cultivate alone outside, Li Shengyuan and the other two walked deeper.

His father, Li Mu, and the others did not plan to come here for the experience; instead, they stayed at Shanhai Pass, as there would be plenty of opportunities later.

Li Shengyuan and the other two flew slowly along the way, encountering many people struggling to move forward.

As long as one’s cultivation reached the fourth grade, and they comprehended their own artistic conception or possessed a Nascent Soul, moving a hundred meters forward was still easy.

Three hundred meters was a small hurdle!

Five hundred meters, which is one li, was a big hurdle. If a fourth-grade cultivator could reach this distance, they were definitely a strong expert among fourth-grade cultivators!

Along the way, seeing Li Shengyuan and the other two fly over their heads, everyone below showed expressions of reverence.

The most admired person among the Northern Plains cultivators today was first and foremost Li Shengyuan; his invincible strength amazed everyone!

The second was Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin, after all, he broke the curse that Northern Plains cultivators could not break through to the second grade!

Now Yue Xiyan was about to attempt to break through to the second grade, and everyone was full of anticipation.

The three quickly surpassed most of the fourth-grade cultivators who had entered.

At the foremost position, four hundred meters in, they saw Liu Zhen and the other two.

Li Shengyuan also smiled; these three old brothers were still very strong.

Especially Liu Zhen, although sometimes a bit unreliable, his strength was definitely beyond question. If nothing unexpected happened, the three of them would be the first to break through the one-li distance!

At that time, they would face an even greater challenge; every step forward would be met with immense pressure.

Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin looked at Liu Zhen and the other two, and couldn't help but exclaim,

“Brother Li, your Demon Suppression Division’s Golden-robed Demon Suppressors are truly formidable!”

“If it’s a one-on-one fight, among those of the same realm in the Northern Plains, there are very few who can compare to them!”

Li Shengyuan smiled slightly, “They are all cultivated by the imperial court; the strength of a nation is definitely not something a single sect can compare to!”

Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin nodded, but he also knew that resources were only one aspect.

Every Golden-robed Demon Suppressor of the Demon Suppression Division was a battle-hardened expert!

Constantly fighting with people from the Demonic Cult, their strength naturally wouldn’t be weak!

Soon, the three were surprised to find a figure rapidly catching up to Liu Zhen and the other two, and then surpassing them…

Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin said with some surprise, “I remember that young man is from the Xuantian Sword Sect; I think his name is Linghu Chong, right?”

“That’s right.” Li Shengyuan looked into the distance, gazing at Linghu Chong’s resolute face, and nodded faintly.

Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin sighed, “As expected of a true disciple from an old second-grade sect in the Central Plains; this child’s talent and strength are both extraordinary!”

“He only broke through to the fourth grade over a year ago, and now he’s already at the peak of the fourth grade. During the battle against the Demon-Barbarian Allied Army, his performance was also very impressive!”

Li Shengyuan chuckled, “This child possesses a special talent; once fully activated, he will soar to great heights!”

“Oh?!”

Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin looked at Linghu Chong with some surprise and uncertainty. He couldn't discern that Linghu Chong possessed the Eternal Sword Body, as his discernment hadn't reached that level.

But for Li Shengyuan to evaluate him like this, it seemed this child was even more extraordinary than he had imagined!

Li Shengyuan sped up and said faintly, “Let’s go; take Xiyan to the deeper parts to try. It’s not too late to check on the performance of these guys in the outer area in a few days!”

Soon, the group of three surpassed the third-grade cultivators ahead and arrived at a location one li from the central Tribulation Transcending Zone.

Li Shengyuan looked at Yue Xiyan and asked, “Xiyan, how do you feel here?!”

Yue Xiyan closed her eyes and sensed for a moment, a hint of pain appearing on her face, then she returned a slight smile.

“I feel very good; I’ll go into seclusion here!”

“Next, I will try to walk further inside, little by little!”
