Signing In: From Lowliest Laborer To Mightiest Master? - Chapter 38

In a pavilion far away from the central courtyard.

Sect Master Chi Tianfeng stood on the balcony and watched the scene from afar.

“Elder Fang, isn’t that your disciple? His name is Wang Chengzhi, right? It’s really commendable that he dares to step forward at this time!”

Chi Tianfeng was naturally referring to the inner sect disciple who had just stepped forward to challenge Gu Changfeng.

This guy could also be considered to be somewhat of a genius within the Skyfire Sect and had awakened the seventh-ranked human-grade Stone Fire. His cultivation was already at the peak of the fifth layer of the Divine Sea, and he could advance to the sixth level at any time.

Even though it was only a human-grade spirit fire, this person cultivated diligently, with his cultivation improving rapidly.

In terms of cultivation, he was only slightly weaker than those disciples who had awakened an earth-grade spirit fire.

“You’re too kind, Sect Master. It’s his duty to serve the sect,” Elder Fang said with a headache.

Even he himself did not expect that his disciple would dare to stand out and confront Gu Changfeng.

You fool! If anything happened to you, who would even remember your contribution?

However, he could only keep these thoughts to himself. He was experienced and shrewd, so he naturally wouldn’t reveal anything on his face.

“Courageous and able. Such disciples are the true supporting pillars of the sect. No matter the outcome of this battle, I’ll make sure to increase his treatment by two levels and reward him with a spirit weapon with twenty layers of restrictions,” Chi Tianfeng said matter-of-factly. “Also, Elder Fang, you will also be rewarded for raising such a stellar disciple.”

Being the sect master for so many years, he had long been dissatisfied with the power struggles within the sect and the shady methods used.

If this continued on, the entire sect would probably decline even more.

But it was useless because his cultivation was only barely able to suppress the situation and not enough for him to turn the situation around.

He naturally held these people who cared about the sect in high regard.

“This old man thanks Sect Master on behalf of his disciple.” At this moment, Elder Fang was smiling.

“Well, let’s see how capable Gu Changfeng is.” Chi Tianfeng looked down, and there was an uncertain light in his eyes.

After he finished speaking, the pavilion gradually fell silent.

“Demonic scoundrel, stop acting so presumptuously. I am Wang Chengzhi, a core disciple of the Skyfire Sect, and my cultivation is at the fifth layer of the Divine Sea realm. I’m here to fight you!”

Divine flames revolved around Wang Chengzhi’s body. Vigorous magic power surged, and his voice instantly traveled far away.

He took out his spirit weapon, a black jade long saber, and pointed it at Gu Changfeng.

A flame surrounded the magic weapon, moving as if it was a spirit snake strangling its prey.

“You look pretty decent. It seems that the Skyfire Sect is not full of cowards after all.

“You have more backbone than Lu Qingtian. If you can withstand one of my moves, I’ll spare your life!”

Gu Changfeng still had an evil smile on his face. It was obvious that he didn’t take Wang Chengzhi’s challenge seriously at all.

His opponent wouldn’t even be able to withstand a single blow from him, so why should he take him seriously?

If this man didn’t have the guts to challenge him, Gu Chanfeng wouldn’t even bother to look at him.

“Make your move. If I make my move first, you won’t have a chance!” Gu Changfeng stood with his hands behind his back, looking confident and arrogant.

“You’re overconfident and underestimate me!” Wang Chengzhi shouted out. The magic power in his body surged, and he flew up in an instant.

“Sky Snake Breath Shooting Technique!”

While he was still in the air, he swung the long saber in his hand towards Gu Changfeng. A long blazing fire snake shot out from the long saber and went straight towards the demonic cultivator.

This Sky Snake Breath Shooting Technique had another form of attack, which was its hidden killer move. If the opponent broke the fire snake into pieces, the remaining flames would turn into smaller fire snakes.

When the attack landed on the enemy’s body, there would be a chain of explosions. If one was not careful, one would easily suffer a great injury.

Who knew how many of his enemies had suffered under this attack?

“Interesting. Unfortunately, if this is all you have, then this is the end.” Gu Changfeng smiled. He had already seen through Wang Chengzhi’s move.

His black magical clothes fluttered about in the wind brought about by the fire snake.

As the fire snake got close, Gu Changfeng shouted, “Ninth Hell Cold Gale!”

Immediately, an even more ferocious gale blew from his mouth.

The whirlwind shining with black light expanded in an instant, covering the fire snake like a sack.

In the blink of an eye, the fire snake wrapped in the icy cold wind had shrunk by half.

“What?! How is that possible?!”

Wang Chengzhi’s expression changed drastically when he sensed that the fire snake had lost its connection to him.

He had thought about how powerful his opponent was, but he had not expected his opponent to be this powerful. He had easily broken through the attack that he had been preparing for a long time.

However, before Wang Chengzhi could react, Gu Changfeng quickly shouted again.

Another whirlwind appeared out of nowhere under Wang Chengzhi’s feet. Before Wang Chengzi could do anything, it wrapped him up tightly.

Another Ninth Hell Cold Gale!

The sinister and vicious cold wind carried the power from the Ninth Hell and continuously drilled into Wang Chengzhi’s body.

It instantly destroyed Wang Chengzhi’s resistance and sealed his spirit sea.

Wang Chengzhi’s face turned green. He had already been completely eroded by the pervasive frost power.

He knew that if things went on like this, it wouldn’t be long before he died.

“Be lenient wherever possible, Gu Changfeng! This is the Skyfire Sect. You can’t just act so presumptuously.”

The Execution Elder in charge of maintaining order snorted and casually used a Large Essence Qi Palm to pull Wang Chengzhi to his side.

An emerald-green flame ignited in his hand. Then, he struck Wang Chengzhi’s body with his palm. Vigorous magic power carrying the potency of the emerald-green flame surged into Wang Chengzhi’s body.

In just a moment, the effects of the Ninth Hell Cold Gale in his body were completely cleared.

Wang Chengzhi gradually recollected himself. When he saw his surroundings, he immediately figured out what had happened.

“Senior Uncle, my skills were inferior. I’ve embarrassed my sect.”

At this moment, his entire body was sore and limp. Furthermore, his spirit sea had been corroded, and his spirit fire was flickering. Evidently, he had been severely injured.

If the Execution Elder was a moment slower, his spirit sea would have definitely shattered, and his spirit fire would have been extinguished. If that had happened, even if he escaped death, he would still lose all his cultivation.

Danger!

It was simply too dangerous!

Wang Chengzhi could not help but feel a lingering fear in his heart. He had almost died just now!

Gu Changfeng did not care about the fact that the Execution Elder had saved Wang Chengzhi.

In any case, his goal coming here was not to kill people. However, the bigger the commotion he could cause, the better.

“What? Even now, Lu Qingtian still doesn’t dare to come out?”
