Chapter Thirty-Four: As Solid as a Rock

en change.Only Lei Bufan and the nine people chosen by Daozun are still frantically absorbing thunder.At this very moment, the amount of thunder surrounding the ten of them had reached a level that wa...Although Ginger Cloud was anxious, knowing Lu Xiaoyu's whereabouts one minute later meant his chances of returning to the sect decreased by one point. However, he also knew that since Xiao Yishu had spoken, his words were as good as law, and he could only abide by them and not break the rules.

As for the woman in purple, of course she didn't care what time she appeared. After a slight smile, she took Xu Chengshan's hand and retreated a few steps.

Others also quickly retreated, giving the two contestants of the first match plenty of space.

Among the new disciples, Huo Yuan appeared first, and he chose to challenge a female disciple from Hongchenfeng.

Jiang Yun also temporarily shifted his gaze to the two contestants. Although he had rich combat experience, he had never seen a battle between cultivators before, so naturally, he wanted to take this opportunity to observe it.

" Huo Yuan's face was full of smiles. He bowed to the female disciple and said, "My name is Huo Yuan, a new disciple from Jian Dao Peak. I hope Senior Sister will show mercy!"

Jiang Yun wasn't surprised that Huo Yuan became an inner disciple of Jian Dao Peak. After all, when he first met Huo Yuan, the other had a sword on his back.

Hearing Huo Yuan's words, this beautiful female disciple also smiled slightly and said, "Junior Brother Huo is too polite!"

"Xiao Bi has no specific rules, just admit defeat if you can't do it."

Under Xiao Yi's concise explanation, the re-test finally began.

With a clang, Huo Yuan drew his sword from its sheath with his backhand.

Looking at the sword, many people's faces were filled with envy. The sword was about three feet long, pure white and crystal clear, as if made of crystal. Although it hadn't been infused with spiritual energy by Huo Yuan yet, those who were sensitive could already feel a faint chill emanating from the blade.

"Senior Sister, this Ice Soul Sword of mine was forged from a thousand years of ice soul. Senior Sister, please be careful."

Huo Yuan, seeming generous, proactively told the other party about the origins of his sword. However, before he could finish speaking, with a flick of his wrist, he raised his sword and lunged forward, moving at lightning speed.

This kind of behavior is akin to a sneak attack, yet the female disciples of Hongchen Peak remained unfazed, giving a faint smile. She extended her slender jade hand and lightly patted her waist, and then a clear and crisp bell chime suddenly rang out: "Ding dong".

The sound of the bell rang, and many people felt a dizziness in their heads. Huo Yuan was no exception; that extremely fast sword suddenly paused in mid-air.

The next moment, a female disciple from Hongchen Peak let out a delicate giggle. She opened her palm, and on her middle finger hung a bell the size of a walnut. It swayed with her finger movements, producing a series of tinkling sounds.

Under the sound of the bell, Huo Yuan’s eyes gradually became dazed until finally they were completely blank, and his whole person seemed to turn into a statue, motionless.

"Senior Brother Xiao, do we still need him to admit defeat" A female disciple's finger lightly rested on Huo Yuan's brow, looking at Xiao Yishu.

It was clear to anyone that Huo Yuan had lost at this point, he couldn't even bring himself to admit defeat. So Xiao Yishu also shook his head and said: "This round, Sister Ding wins!"

A slight contraction appeared in Jiang Yun's eyes. Although he had never thought highly of Huo Yuan, he hadn't expected him to lose so quickly. After a moment's thought, he understood.

First attempt. Let me know if you'd like me to try anything else!

"Hongchen Feng is skilled in the way of music, meaning she uses various sounds for combat. Just like when she first entered, the flute melody of Xiangxuan Shijie disoriented and confused her opponents."

However, the sound of the bell was incomparable to the flute melody. Sister Xiang's flute music enveloped over two thousand people, while Sister Ding's bell chime only targeted Huo Yuan alone. The strength of the inner sect disciples was indeed far superior to that of the outer sect disciples.

Of course, the inner disciples I'm talking about don't include this Huo Yuan!

Although the last sentence implies Ginger Cloud looks down on Faraway Huo, it's also a fact.

Those who can truly be called inner disciples within the sect must have at least reached the Fudi realm; while those who can truly be called outer disciples must also reach the seventh level of Tongmai.

Those who, like Huo Yuan and Tang Yi, became inner and outer disciples by passing the number of levels in the three introductory gates, naturally fell short in strength compared to those who relied on their own efforts and gradually cultivated to the Fudi realm or the seventh level of Tongmai as inner and outer disciples.

It was precisely because of this that most people were not surprised by Huo Yuan's immediate defeat. Only Huo Yuan, who had regained consciousness, had a handsome face flushed red, staring intently at the eyes of the female disciple from Hongchen Peak, almost ready to spit fire.

But now nobody cares about his feelings, because Wu Shang has already come out.

Seven layers of pulse connection allowed Wushang's cultivation to reach a level comparable to that of an outer sect disciple. The opponent he chose, whether intentionally or by coincidence, was exactly Xu Chengshan!

Xu Chongshen, among these ten outer disciples, may not be the strongest, but in terms of true strength, he could definitely rank in the top three. After all, he still has a pet beast.

You know, not every outer disciple of the Hundred Beast Peak has a spirit beast.

Naturally, this competition between the two attracted even more attention.

Xu Chengshan's eyes were still filled with hatred as he stared at Jiang Yun. Even Jiang Yun himself felt a little puzzled. Although he had injured Xu Chengshan's pet beast, his attack was measured, at most causing the tiger to lie down for two or three months. Was there any need to hate him this much

He had no idea that Xu Chengshan had originally been full of confidence for this trip to Wu Feng. However, because his beloved beast was injured by Jiang Yun's single finger, he lost his greatest reliance, which ultimately led to his failure.

In fact, even if his pet hadn't been injured, the probability of him successfully climbing the peak was extremely low. But he ignored all that and stubbornly attributed all his failures to Jiang Yun!

"Start!"

With a command from Xiao Yi, Xu Chongshen remained still, but the tiger beside him leaped and charged towards Wu Shang.

It's clear that Xu Chengshan didn't take Wu Shang seriously, so he only sent his pet beast to fight.

Facing the tiger charging toward him, Wudang remained unmoved, not even flinching. He didn't stir until the tiger suddenly pounced onto him, its blood-dripping maw clamping down on his neck with a sickening crunch.

"Ah!"

Many onlookers gasped in surprise. If that bite had landed solidly, his head would have been gone. Although everyone knew Xu Chongshen couldn't really kill Wu Shang, some still closed their eyes, unable to bear to watch what might happen next.

Just then, a bloodcurdling tiger roar suddenly echoed through the air. A raspy voice followed closely behind, saying, "If this is all you've got, I am truly disappointed."

This voice obviously doesn't belong to Xu Chengshan!

Everyone hurriedly turned their attention back to the center of the arena, only to be shocked to find that Wu Shang, dressed in black, was still standing there. The tiger that had previously been biting at his neck was now retreating back to Xu Chengshan's side, with fresh blood continuously dripping from its tiger mouth.

What's going on What just happened

It's nothing, just that my unharmed body seems too hard. I even broke the tiger's teeth!

A casually described introduction by an old disciple shocked most people. How could the human body, no matter how tough, withstand the bite of a tiger's teeth What's more, this tiger was at least a fourth-order ferocious beast!

“In the end, it was this old disciple who spoke up and explained: 'Actually, this isn't that Wu Shang’s body is unharmed. It's a kind of technique from the Earth Element school—Unbreakable Rock. In short, it’s about making one’s body as solid as stone! And judging by Wu Shang’s appearance, this technique should have been perfected.'”

Xu Chengshan was also stunned. He hadn't expected that Wushang, who had only joined the sect for half a year, could actually perform earth-attribute spells to such an extent.

Just as he was about to take matters into his own hands and teach this arrogant fellow, who seemed even more reckless than Jiang Yun, a lesson, Wu Shang suddenly spoke again, "Forget it, I'm not interested!"

As soon as his words left his mouth, he extended a hand and pointed it towards Xu Chengshan in mid-air.

"Hum!"

A green light shot out from his hand, so fast that most people could only see a green shadow flashing through the air. It instantly arrived in front of Xu Chengshan.

Only a small number of people, including Jian Yun, could see clearly that what flew out from Wu Shang's hand was a green vine. At this moment, the vine had completely wrapped Xu Chengshan. A spike as thick as an arm protruded from the vine, pointing straight at Xu Chengshan's brow, trembling slightly!

The entire square was deathly silent, until after a moment, a shaky voice broke the silence: "Wood, is, technique, law!"and he hurriedly withdrew his hand.Then I saw a flame burning on his palm, spreading rapidly along his wrist towards his arm.This is the Great Dao Fire again!The flames on the Firebird appeared before...
