Xianxia: I Can Alter The Dates Of Herb Plants - Chapter 24

At this moment, on the high platform of the Pure Yang Hall, Daoist Qingxu, who was sitting in the middle, looked up at the sky and suddenly said, “Eh? That little guy from the Tempered Spirit Peak is about to go on stage.”

The leaders of the other factions present were all slightly shocked. Since when did the sect master and senior brother start to pay attention to that single seedling of the Tempered Spirit?

The sect master and the other heads saw a lone figure beside the seventh ring below the stairs.

That person was Su Chen. His first match was against the young disciple of the nine branches, Liu Hong of the Sky Fog Peak.

Liu Hong was a slender youth with a slightly thin face. He was not even 20 years old, but he exuded a maturity that did not match his age.

Bang!

From under the fifth arena, Su Chen stomped his feet on the ground and his body shot into the sky like a sharp arrow, landing on the arena.

At this moment, the disciple of the Sky Fog Peak, Liu Hong, also jumped onto the arena.

The two did not waste any more time. They both cupped their fists slightly and then took their positions.

Their gazes met, ready to attack.

Su Chen stretched his body, and the sound of bones rubbing against each other came from all over his body.

After that, he took the first stance of the Tiger Movement and jumped up abruptly. Like a fierce tiger, he pounced toward Liu Hong on the opposite side with the momentum of a fierce tiger descending the mountain.

Pouncing over, Su Chen raised his right hand and put his five fingers together. The tips of his fingers were like a pair of tiger claws as he directly swung down toward Liu Hong.

Su Chen’s pounce immediately generated a strong wind that surged towards Liu Hong. A ferocious aura immediately spread out on the stage.

Liu Hong was instantly shocked when he saw Su Chen’s pounce. The strong wind that was brought up caused pain to his face as if he was facing a fierce tiger.

This had already exceeded Liu Hong’s expectations, causing him to be extremely shocked.

“Earth Cover Spell!” Liu Hong was also an extraordinary person. Those who could enter the arena were all outstanding disciples from various lineages. He was not frightened by Su Chen’s pounce and hurriedly formed a spell.

At this moment, a light that was like sand and dust surged out from his body. In the next moment, Liu Hong’s figure disappeared within this lump of sand and dust.

Boom!

Su Chen slammed into that lump of sand and dust. Without the slightest hesitation, that lump of sand and dust was immediately shaken by the force of his pounce and spread out in all directions.

“Earth Element Cultivation Technique?” Su Chen’s heart trembled.

At this moment, the ball of sand did not disperse. Instead, it enveloped the entire arena, causing Su Chen’s vision to be obstructed.

The spectators below the arena could not see the situation on the stage clearly. However, when the disciples of the Sky Fog Peak saw Liu Hong using a technique to trap Su Chen in the sand, they could not help but cheer for Liu Hong.

In their opinion, it was easy for the top ten disciples of the Sky Fog Peak to win this match. After all, the opponent did not seem to have any spiritual energy fluctuations.

However, no one knew that Liu Hong, whom they had high hopes for, had been shocked into a cold sweat by Su Chen just now. Su Chen’s strength could not be underestimated. Liu Hong could sense a dangerous aura from his body.

Liu Hong hid in the gray dust and urged the heavy earth element power to press toward Su Chen.

Su Chen immediately felt a huge force coming from all directions. The gray earth element power was about to press on his body.

“Humph!” Su Chen sneered.

The huge essence energy contained in his muscles, bones, and flesh instantly exploded, pushing away the earth element force that was coming from outside his body.

At this moment, Su Chen carefully sensed the fluctuations in the surroundings. Rays of bright light burst out from his eyes. His gaze swept across the field as if it was going to pierce through the surrounding sand and dust.

Suddenly…

“Bind!” A cold voice came from the grey sand and dust.

Then, Su Chen felt a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation coming from the left.

Chi! Chi!

Loud sounds came from the surging dust.

One after another, earth chains as thick as an arm shot out from the dust and wrapped around Su Chen.

When Liu Hong launched his attack, the spiritual energy fluctuation that burst out from his body was immediately detected by Su Chen.

Su Chen suddenly bent down, and then, as if he had transformed into a fierce tiger, his legs suddenly exerted force and stuck to the surface of the arena, dashing out like a hungry tiger.

The several earth chains that were wrapped around Su Chen were instantly shattered, and a cry of surprise came out from the gray dust.

Plop!

The sound of heavy objects hitting the ground rang out on the arena.

Soon after, the gray dust that enveloped the arena seemed to have lost some sort of power and could no longer gather together to dissipate quickly.

The dust dispersed, revealing the two people on the arena.

One of them was standing, while the other was lying on the arena as if he had already fainted.

When the disciples of the Sky Fog Peak below the arena saw the appearance of the person standing on the arena, they immediately boiled with excitement. “What’s going on? What happened? Why is he the one who won!”

Not only the disciples of the Sky Fog Peak, but the disciples of the other branches were also shocked when they saw the person who won.

Wang Yucheng, who was watching the seventh arena, could not help but change his expression when he saw the person who was standing victoriously on the arena.

Sect master Qingxu, who was sitting in front of the Pure Yang Hall, looked at the person on the seventh arena with interest. He did not seem to be surprised.

However, the other branch chiefs beside Daoist Qingxu had a strange look in their eyes.

“Tempered Spirit Peak… seems to have produced a pretty good disciple!”

All the branch chiefs knew very well that although the body refinement path of the Tempered Spirit Peak branch was difficult, once one cultivated successfully, they would be able to display strength that far surpassed Qi refinement practitioners of the same level.

However, the items needed for the later stage of body refinement were too difficult to find. In the end, it led to the decline of the Tempered Spirit Peak.

On the seventh arena, the winner was Su Chen.

Ever since he had awakened the system, he had been training diligently day after day, enduring the unbearable pain of ordinary people. In addition to the month of fighting in the Qingyang mountain range, his perception of danger and his understanding of the Tiger Movement had also increased.

In the instant that the disciple of the Sky Fog Peak, Liu Hong, used a spell to attack, he rushed to Liu Hong’s side and knocked him unconscious with a blow to the side of the neck.

Victory and defeat were often this simple. In close combat, a Qi refinement cultivator was absolutely no match for a body refinement cultivator.

Su Chen once again confirmed this statement.
