We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

Three days passed quietly.

In those three days, Su Chen only did one thing: find out about the front lines.

Like the Ziyang Sect in the Ten Directions World, becoming a disciple of the Ziyang Sect on the front lines will still bring you runes, which contain information about the various forces on the front lines.

The most powerful forces on the front lines are the Ten Holy Cities, which correspond to the Ten Holy Kingdoms. To be precise, the Ten Holy Kingdoms originated from the Ten Holy Cities. However, because the front lines are of paramount importance, the Ten Holy Cities established the Ten Holy Kingdoms, which can both defend against foreign races and consolidate their position internally.

However, the forces on the front lines are complex and intertwined. The Ten Holy Cities are not the only forces present. Numerous other forces, large and small, are also located here, including some deeply hidden forces that are no weaker than the Ten Holy Cities, such as the Demonic Sect.

The Demonic Sect's overall strength on the front lines is in no way inferior to any of the Ten Holy Cities. However, because they are very secretive and have committed many evils, they cannot gain a foothold in the Ten Holy Cities. But in other places, the Demonic Sect's power is very strong, and there is even a hint that they are going to occupy mountains and establish their own independent territory.

In addition, Su Chen also learned about the special characteristics of the front line.

The front line is also known as the boundary, the place where the ten worlds meet with other worlds.

That is why the most powerful forces in the Ten Directions World are stationed at the front line, in order to prevent the invasion of alien races.

This place connects to many worlds, including the world of demons, the world of evil spirits, the world of Asuras, and so on. Without exception, all these worlds want to invade the ten directions of the world and enslave the human race.

This unique environment created a more complex situation on the front lines, leading to daily battles of varying scales.

The demon hunt that the Holy Origin Sect mentioned earlier was one of the wars waged by various forces within Holy Origin City against alien races.

These wars not only helped strengthen their respective sects but also reduced the number of alien races.

The same applies to the True Disciple Assessment that Su Chen will participate in three days later.

Three days later, Su Chen stepped out of the secluded courtyard for the first time. Even though he had seen it many times before, he was still soothed by the beautiful scenery before him, which was like a fairyland on earth. He could feel the powerful Yuan energy in the air with every breath. These were environments that were not available in the Ten Directions World. No wonder many martial artists came one after another despite knowing the dangers on the front line. It was simply because the environment here was too suitable for people to cultivate.

"Look, that's Su Chen. This kid has finally come out of the room!"

"So he's the one who offended Senior Brother Bi? He looks so young, but he's got quite the nerve!"

"I heard that Senior Sister Liu Hong was secretly planning to teach this kid a lesson, but she waited for him for three days in a row, and he didn't even leave the house once."

"Go out? That's just asking for trouble. If it were me, I wouldn't plan to leave the house in my entire life!"

"He offended Senior Brother Bi, who has countless fans. He doesn't even need to lift a finger; countless people will want to teach him a lesson."

"I've heard of Liu Hong. She's one of Senior Brother Bi's admirers. She reached the Great Perfection of Divine Power early on. When she learned that Su Chen had publicly humiliated Senior Brother Bi, she directly threatened to teach Su Chen a lesson."

"..."

As soon as he stepped outside, Su Chen noticed that everyone was watching him.

Although their voices were soft, Su Chen still managed to catch them.

"It seems that Bi Tianyu has a lot of influence in the Ziyang Sect and many supporters. When I offended him before, he didn't even need to make a move; someone would come to teach me a lesson."

After three days of getting to know him, Su Chen's understanding of Bi Tianyu had deepened. He naturally understood the significance of the title "First True Disciple." If nothing unexpected happened, Bi Tianyu would become the future sect leader of the Ziyang Sect.

The Ziyang Sect Master at the front lines wields far greater power and status than the Ziyang Sect Master in the Ten Directions World, and the resources he obtains here far surpass those of the main sect.

It is no exaggeration to say that becoming the sect leader of the Ziyang Sect on the front lines means that one can decide the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in the Ziyang Sect in an instant.

However, becoming a sect leader is not an easy thing. At least in terms of strength, one needs to break through the supernatural power realm and reach the Martial Immortal realm.

Otherwise, at best, he would only be a candidate, not the true sect leader.

As far as Su Chen knew, among the true disciples of the Ziyang Sect, Bi Tianyu was not someone who could control everything.

There are two others whose strength and reputation are comparable to his: one named Bai Jian and the other named Yun Xi.

Both were at the peak of the supernatural power realm, but the former often went out to train, while the latter often went into seclusion. Neither of them was as famous as Bi Tianyu.

However, the two were no weaker than their opponent, as the three of them had fought each other before and were evenly matched with Bi Tianyu.

Of course, it has been several years since the last time the three faced off.

At that time, Bi Tianyu had not yet obtained the Ice Emperor's inheritance. Over the years, his strength has improved by an unknown amount.

If they were to face off again, it remains to be seen whether the two would be a match for Bi Tianyu.

In addition, Bi Tianyu is adept at dealing with people, knows how to use both kindness and severity, and often bestows favors on his followers. As a result, in recent years, Bi Tianyu's prestige within the sect has been rising, and there have been calls for him to become the sect leader.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, as long as Bi Tianyu can break through to the Martial Immortal realm, the position of the next sect leader of the Ziyang Sect will undoubtedly belong to him.

Of course, if other true disciples break through first, then this position will have nothing to do with Bi Tianyu.

But breaking through the Martial Immortal level is no easy feat.

Without great perseverance, determination, good fortune, and exceptional talent, one cannot break through even after a lifetime of effort.

The phrase "transcending the mortal realm and entering immortality" is a chasm that stands between all martial artists. If one can cross it, one will have the right to compete for supremacy in countless worlds; if one cannot, it is all just empty talk.

This is not an exaggeration; it is exactly what the information Su Chen obtained described about breaking through to Martial Immortal. Crossing this threshold is no less than a thousand carp leaping over the Dragon Gate. Throughout history, those who have been able to break through can be called peerless geniuses.

The original intention behind the creation of the Divine Power Ranking was this: in addition to listing the unparalleled geniuses of the entire Ten Directions World, it was also intended to use the mysterious fortune to help these geniuses increase their chances of breaking through.

As it turns out, martial artists who make it onto the Divine Power Ranking are all likely to break through to the Divine Power Realm in the future, especially the top ten. It's only a matter of time before they break through to the Divine Power Realm.

Su Chen assessed his own strength. Even if he could defeat a martial artist at the Great Completion Realm while only at the Lesser Completion Realm, he still wouldn't qualify for the Divine Power Ranking. The conditions for making the list were extremely stringent, with numerous restrictions besides the age requirement. The age requirement was under 500 years old, which Su Chen wasn't worried about meeting. Secondly, one's strength had to reach at least the Perfection of Divine Power. Finally, the Divine Power Ranking only considered the top 100 martial artists within the first two ranges.

In other words, even if Su Chen meets the first two requirements, he may not be able to make it onto the list of supernatural powers, unless Su Chen possesses extraordinary supernatural powers and astonishing combat strength.

Although Su Chen didn't care about Bi Tianyu, he knew how powerful the other was. After all, the other had made it into the top ten of the Divine Power Ranking, while Su Chen didn't even qualify for the bottom spot. The difference between the two was obvious.

But Su Chen didn't care. He was just one opportunity away. Once he got enough Pure Yuan Pills, he could push all the supernatural abilities he had learned to their limits. The way to get Pure Yuan Pills was simple: earn contribution points and then exchange them with the sect!
In this respect, it is similar to the Ziyang Sect in the Ten Directions World. However, here, the ways to earn contribution points are not as simple as in the Ten Directions World. On the front line, as long as you are not afraid of death, you have plenty of ways to earn contribution points and then exchange them for pills.

The Ziyang Sect is also extremely arrogant, welcoming all who come!
Right now, Su Chen's top priority is to become a true disciple and then go out to train, because inner disciples are not allowed to go out to train. Without sufficient strength, going out to train on the front lines would be tantamount to digging his own grave.

Upon arriving at the mission hall, before Su Chen even stepped inside, he saw a mature woman dressed in red walking towards him. She was quite attractive, with fair skin and a beautiful face, but her cheeks appeared somewhat gloomy, especially when she saw Su Chen, her eyes flashing with a fierce light.

"You are Su Chen?" Liu Hong came up to Su Chen, tilted her head back, and asked in a questioning tone.

Su Chen had already learned Liu Hong's identity from the surrounding whispers. Faced with her arrogant tone, he calmly asked, "What do you want?"

"Hmph, Senior Brother Bi is magnanimous and has let you off the hook, but I, Liu Hong, will not let you off easily. You have offended Senior Brother Bi, and I will make you pay the price you deserve!"

Before Su Chen could speak, Liu Hong swung her arm and unleashed a fiery red whip. Starlight surged on the whip, and as Liu Hong swung it, all the starlight gathered at the sharp point, transforming into a crimson streak that hurtled towards Su Chen.

Upon seeing this scene, all the onlookers looked at Su Chen with mocking expressions, seemingly eagerly anticipating his reaction.

However, Su Chen remained unfazed by Liu Hong's offensive. He not only did not resist, but stood still in place.

Having thoroughly studied the sect's rules, he naturally knew that internal fighting was forbidden within the sect, and that if one wanted to engage in combat, one had to go to the dueling arena, otherwise one would be severely punished.

Liu Hong's offensive appeared aggressive, but in reality, it was all show and no substance, and had no real killing power.

All she did was to provoke Su Chen into fighting back. As long as Su Chen fought back, Liu Hong could teach Su Chen a lesson without any punishment.

Su Chen was naturally not foolish enough to retaliate, and he was certain that Liu Hong wouldn't dare to actually make a move.

Sure enough, Liu Hong's move landed about ten feet away from him, instantly turning into nothingness and vanishing into thin air.

Upon seeing this, Liu Hong's eyebrows furrowed, a hint of surprise in her eyes, but her voice remained cold: "It seems you've been studying the sect rules quite a bit these past three days, hiding like a coward. But do you think I can't do anything to you? Right now, you're an inner disciple, so I can't challenge you. But once you become a true disciple, I will challenge you immediately. At that time, you won't be able to refuse. Unless you're willing to remain a coward among the inner disciples forever, I'll let you know the consequences of speaking the wrong thing!"

"Oh!" Faced with Liu Hong's nonsense, Su Chen simply replied with one word, then walked into the main hall without even looking at her. From here, he would be arranged to enter the training ground for true disciples.

"you……"

Seeing Su Chen's expression, Liu Hong was furious.

"Senior Sister Liu Hong, this kid is too arrogant. Are we just going to let him leave like this?" a woman following behind her said discontentedly.

Liu Hong sneered upon hearing this: "Let him go? It's not that easy. If I remember correctly, the training ground this time is called Ghost Skull Land. I have already sent people to prepare a generous gift for him there. We'll see if he's tough enough then!"

After entering the main hall, Su Chen quickly found his group.

To his surprise, there were over a thousand people who went to participate in the true disciple assessment.

It should be noted that the Ziyang Sect holds a monthly training program for its true disciples. Anyone who reaches the Perfection of the Longevity Realm can participate. Among these people, apart from Su Chen who is at the Divine Power Realm, most are at the Longevity Realm, and a small number are at the Beginner Level of the Divine Power Realm. The former's main purpose for training is to break through their realm, while the latter simply want to become true disciples.

Such a large number of Longevity Realm warriors would cause a sensation in the Ten Directions World, but within the Ziyang Sect, they are merely a group of newly initiated disciples striving desperately to break through.

"This training ground is Ghost Skull Land. Without further ado, follow me to the location of the teleportation array."

Seeing that it was almost time, an elder addressed the crowd.

After saying that, he ignored everyone and led them to the location of the teleportation array.

Ghost Skull Land is not within the Ten Directions World; it is a small world that requires a teleportation array to enter.

This place had long been under the control of the Ziyang Sect, and over time it had become a place specifically used by the Ziyang Sect to train its disciples.

Su Chen had inquired about relevant information before he arrived. There were many ghosts in the Ghost Skull Land, and these ghosts were somewhat similar to the ghosts in his previous life.

The difference is that they are powerful.

Because they were enslaved and controlled, they harbored malice towards the people of the Ziyang Sect and would spare no effort to kill anyone they encountered.

It's called a training exercise, but the level of danger involved is evident; one wrong move and you could die.

Therefore, before entering the Ghost Skull Land, many disciples formed teams to train together.

The training does not prohibit disciples from cooperating. As long as they can kill enough Yin spirits and gain contribution points, they can be promoted to true disciples.

However, this has little to do with Su Chen. After all, no one would risk offending Bi Tianyu to seek cooperation with Su Chen. Besides, with Su Chen's strength, he might not even need an accomplice; he could be more efficient on his own.

"These are your distress runes. If you encounter danger, simply activate the runes to leave the Ghost Skull Land," the elder explained briefly, then activated the formation. "Alright, you may enter now!"

As people entered in batches, it was finally Su Chen's turn.

A blinding light flashed, and Su Chen felt the world spin around him, and a wave of nausea rose in his stomach.

A moment later, everything calmed down, and Su Chen opened his eyes, only to find himself in an unfamiliar place.

"Hehehe, what a delicious primordial spirit! I'll kill you and taste you!" (End of Chapter)
