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

"Yun Xi challenged Su Chen to a duel? I didn't hear wrong, did I?"

"How could that be! Yun Xi is one of the three giants of the Ziyang Sect, there's no reason for her to challenge them to a duel!"

"I guess Yun Xi wanted to see Su Chen's strength, which is why she spoke up; otherwise, it would be a bit like bullying the weak."

"Impossible. What charm does Su Chen possess that would attract Yun Xi to speak up?"

"Perhaps Yunxi saw that Su Chen was too arrogant and wanted to teach him a lesson herself."

"..."

The audience erupted in commotion, buzzing with discussion over Yunxi's words.

Even Su Chen was somewhat surprised, not understanding what Yun Xi was up to.

"Could it be that this woman has a crush on you?"

Duan Tiandao, as always, was oblivious and blurted out something that made Su Chen's face darken.

Ignoring Duan Tiandao's nonsense, Su Chen began to ponder.

His first thought was not to refuse, but to see if he could maximize his own benefit from it.

Although he won over a million Pure Yuan Pills in this gambling battle.

But for him, this number is not much; at most, he can only cultivate one supernatural power to perfection.

Pure Yuan Pills, of course, the more the better.

The Ziyang Sect is a powerful sect that doesn't treat its disciples harshly. Even a disciple of Robin's level has 600,000 Pure Yuan Pills, which shows how wealthy the true disciples are. Yunxi must be even more so.

As one of the most outstanding disciples of the true lineage, Yunxi's family background must be much richer than Robin's.

What he wanted was to make a hefty profit from it.

The idea was good, but there were many difficulties.

There's no other reason than that Yun Xi's strength is something she can't possibly compete with.

To be precise, even if Yunxi sends out divine weapons to fight him, she might very well be the one who loses in the end.

Yunxi can lose many times, but he can only lose once, because once he loses, he will be bankrupt.

This was a high-stakes gamble from the start.

After thinking it over, Su Chen didn't immediately refuse, but instead asked, "How does the bet work?"

Su Chen's words once again provoked a barrage of condemnation from the audience.

Judging from his tone, it seems he really does have that plan. How could he dare to do that?
Yunxi ignored the crowd's voices, blinked her bright eyes, and parted her luscious lips slightly: "My plan is to have a duel in the arena, but from what you're saying, it seems you have other plans?"

"Oh? If we're going to compete now, I'm no match for you, Senior Sister." Su Chen chuckled.

“My cultivation level is higher than yours. As your senior sister, I naturally won’t bully the weak. Don’t worry, I will compress my strength to your level before we fight.” Yun Xi was quite understanding.

Su Chen was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Senior Sister Yunxi, please forgive my bluntness, but why did you suppress your strength to fight me?"

This time, Yunxi didn't speak, but instead transmitted her voice: "Because I want to know how big the gap is between me and you at your level!"

Su Chen was startled upon hearing this.

They were surprised by Yunxi's discerning eye and her attitude.

Throughout the entire duel, it was the Heaven-Slaying Blade that made the moves; he remained completely unmoved.

In addition, Su Chen's cultivation technique has the effect of concealing his strength.

Logically speaking, Yunxi shouldn't know his true strength.

But the reality was not so. Yun Xi not only saw through his strength, but also frankly admitted that when she was at Su Chen's level, her strength was not as good as Su Chen's.

"What's the stakes?"

Su Chen asked the question he was most concerned about during the martial arts competition.

"How much do you want?"

Yunxi smiled, her voice gentle and soothing, like a spring breeze.

But to Su Chen's ears, it sounded particularly unnatural. It seemed as if the other party couldn't wait to give him the pills.

He quickly suppressed the illusion.

I have lingering fears.

He was almost bewitched by the other party.

Yunxi had cultivated some kind of technique, and every frown, smile, word, and action of hers could disturb people's minds and make them fall for her without them even realizing it.

Su Chen almost fell into the other party's trap just now.

"This woman is extremely, very unusual!"

Su Chen formed a judgment about the other party and couldn't help but become wary.

However, there was not much change on the surface.

He spoke directly: "How about this, Senior Sister Yunxi, you don't need to hold back your strength to fight me. We won't fight on the arena either. If I remember correctly, the demon hunt is about to begin. Why don't we have a competition to see who can hunt more demons? Senior Sister Yunxi, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, everyone below the stage looked at Su Chen, just like Yun Xi had done when she took the initiative to challenge him.

"Demon hunting? This is a place that even martial artists at the peak of their supernatural powers might not want to go. What qualifications does Su Chen have?"

"If you don't want to accept it, just refuse it directly. Why bother with this deception? Who knows if Su Chen will ever participate in the demon hunt in his lifetime?"

"No, do you all really think that Su Chen can beat Senior Sister Yun Xi if he goes?"

"Let alone Su Chen being able to go now, even if decades have passed and he has reached the pinnacle of supernatural powers, I'm afraid he still wouldn't be a match for Senior Sister Yun Xi."

"Seconded."

"..."

No one believed that Su Chen was genuinely willing to accept the challenge.

On the contrary, they felt that Su Chen was just trying to attract attention; everyone knows the rules for participating in the demon hunt.

By the time Su Chen joins, Yun Xi might have already broken through to the peak of supernatural powers and entered the realm of Martial Immortal.

At that time, they won't need to participate in the so-called demon hunt at all.

There's no need to compare; everyone knows who will win.

Moreover, Yunxi had already participated in several demon hunts.

According to the rules, once you have participated in a demon hunt, you are not required to participate again.

Therefore, Yunxi is perfectly free not to participate.

Why bother going to participate just for Su Chen?

Even Bi Tianyu doesn't have that kind of face, so how could Su Chen possibly have it?

Such voices continued to ring out, and Yunxi heard them too, but she did not refuse immediately.

Instead, she asked with considerable curiosity, "You seem quite certain that you will be able to participate in the demon hunt this time?"

What started as a sudden whim has now turned into genuine curiosity.

Su Chen's tone was too firm. Even though his current strength was only at the Great Perfection of Divine Power, he seemed to be certain that he would be able to break through before the Demon Hunt arrived.

This tone made her wonder if the other person had some kind of backing.

Su Chen nodded slightly: "Of course."

Upon hearing this, Yunxi was taken aback at first, then her smile blossomed like a flower, captivating the heart.

"Fine, I'd like to see what methods you have to reach the pinnacle of supernatural powers in such a short time."

Yunxi eventually changed her mind and agreed to fight Su Chen.

After saying that, she ignored everyone, turned into a wisp of white smoke, and disappeared into the horizon.

"Hey, your pills."

Seeing this, Su Chen quickly gave a reminder.

The other party did not reply, but left with the words: "No need, consider this pill as the stake for the next bet."

The sound disappeared completely along with the figure.

Su Chen shrugged after hearing this, and then finished distributing the pills.

He then took the Heaven-Slaying Blade and left.

The group was left behind with varying expressions, and Robin and Liu Hong with faces full of resentment.

Today, the two of them have really lost face.

In contrast, Su Chen rose to fame by stepping on the reputations of the two men.

It has already become a significant force. Upon seeing Su Chen's return, Elder Liu said, "Now that you have become a true disciple, you can have your own mountain peak. These are the remaining peaks within the sect. Choose whichever one you like, and I will send someone to modify it for you."

This is also one of the benefits of being a true disciple.

The sect itself helps the disciples with the modifications, saving the disciples a lot of effort.

It is said that a powerful puppet is used, and the modification is very fast.

Su Chen had never seen anything like it before, but he was full of anticipation, so he carefully selected the items.

Whose mountain is this?

Suddenly, he saw a magnificent and beautiful mountain peak, the most majestic of all.

If it weren't already occupied, he would have been tempted to fence it off for his own use.

"This belongs to Bi Tianyu."

Elder Liu replied with a half-smile.

"what about this?"

"Bai Jian's."

"This belongs to Yunxi."

Okay.

The best peaks have all been occupied.

Helpless, Su Chen had no choice but to look for someone else.

After searching for a long time, his eyes flickered, and finally he pointed to one of the mountain peaks.

"Oh? The one opposite Bi Tianyu?" Elder Liu asked, somewhat surprised.

Su Chen didn't explain, but said decisively, "This is the one. Thank you for your help, Elder."

"Good!" Elder Liu gave Su Chen a deep look.

It seems this guy is not as gentle as he appears. Bi Tianyu only made things difficult for him once, but the other party remembered it firmly.

It's hard not to believe that Su Chen's choice of the mountain opposite Bi Tianyu had nothing to do with this matter.

After all, no one had ever chosen this mountain peak before, and no one dared to approach Bi Tianyu and challenge his authority.

Su Chen's actions were tantamount to a subtle competition with Bi Tianyu.

Elder Liu shook his head, dispelling the thought.

He agreed with Su Chen's actions, but hoped that Su Chen could always maintain this attitude.

After all, Bi Tianyu was so powerful that it was despair-inducing.

He didn't want Su Chen's efforts to end before they even began.

After leaving the mission hall, Su Chen returned to his original residence.

On his way back, he soon discovered that the mountain he had just chosen was being repaired by a strong and burly man.

It is very efficient.

After returning to his residence, Su Chen couldn't wait to take out the winnings from the bet.

"A total of 1.3 million Pure Yuan Pills, of which 100,000 belong to Yun Xi."

After taking stock of the Pure Yuan Pills, Su Chen began to consume them, intending to improve his martial arts skills.

"The progress of the Great and Small As you wish divine power has reached seventy percent. Let's cultivate it to its limit first."

Su Chen thought to himself.

Now, Su Chen is not swallowing Pure Yuan Pills one by one, but hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of them.

They even started refining it directly.

The Primordial Power flew out on its own, and the refining speed increased dramatically.

Three hundred thousand Pure Yuan Pills were refined in the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea.

Once the conditions were met, Su Chen immediately ordered the panel to upgrade the size of the "Wishful Thinking" ability.

Before long, Gu Han had cultivated the Great and Small As you wish divine power to its limit.

With a thought, he immediately channeled his supernatural power into the Primordial Chaos Force, which became as heavy as a mountain.

The pressure was so great that even Su Chen was somewhat unable to withstand it for a moment.

Roughly estimated, with the blessing of the Great and Small Ruyi Divine Power, the power of Hunyuan Power increased nearly tenfold.

It was absolutely terrifying.

Unfortunately, the Great and Small Divine Power is not an ultimate divine power and cannot truly change the essence of things.

If it transforms into supreme supernatural power, then the so-called blessing is not a simple blessing, but a blessing that reaches the essence.

When added to the Primordial Power, not only does the weight change, but the purity may also change.

Once you reach that level, you might be able to use the size of the Ruyi to temper your physique, vital energy, and primordial spirit.

This also eliminates the problem of insufficient Yuan energy.

Their strength has increased several times over.

After pushing the size of the Ruyi Scepter to its limit, Su Chen began to think about the next technique he needed to improve.

Currently, there are three options: two major supernatural powers and one minor supernatural power.

The two great supernatural powers are the Heavenly Wood Great Law and the Boundless Blood Sea.

The minor supernatural power is to flood Jinshan Temple.

Each of these three supernatural abilities has progressed to approximately 10% to 30%.

With the remaining Pure Yuan Pills, one could cultivate any one of these supernatural abilities to its limit.

Su Chen pondered as he refined the Pure Yuan Pill.

The first thing to rule out is minor supernatural abilities, because the Pure Yuan Pills he has are too scarce, and he really doesn't have the time to cultivate minor supernatural abilities.

Then we can only choose between the Heavenly Wood Great Law and the Boundless Blood Sea.

Su Chen actually preferred the Boundless Blood Sea technique, as it greatly helped in cultivating blood and qi.

However, considering practical applications, Su Chen ultimately chose the Heavenly Wood Technique.

The Heavenly Wood Technique has many uses, including controlling countless plants; this alone makes it the strongest support ability.

Without hesitation, Su Chen gathered all the Pure Essence Pills needed to cultivate the Heavenly Wood Great Technique and immediately improved his cultivation method.

The panel received the command, and the progress of the Heavenly Wood Technique continued to climb.

Before long, it was pushed to its limit.

At the moment he reached his limit, Su Chen felt as if he had entered a completely new world.

This world is made entirely of plants; the sky and the earth are green, and even the air is filled with the fragrance of grass and flowers.

What was even clearer was that Su Chen felt as if he were the master of this world.

It can alter the course of nature, listen to the voices of plants, and control their life and death.

But Su Chen quickly realized that this was not real, but an illusion brought to him by the supernatural power.

Even after waking up from the hallucination, the feeling was still there, just not as strong.

For example, Su Chen can manipulate plants within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, as long as he is focused.

If this were to be controlled for an extended period, it would require a great deal of mental effort, and with Su Chen's current strength, he probably wouldn't be able to sustain it for long.

Su Chen didn't care, at least this supernatural ability would greatly help him in his upcoming demon hunt.

After completing the cultivation, there were still some Pure Yuan Pills left.

Su Chen did not intend to refine any more.

He planned to use these Pure Essence Pills to see if he could exchange them for some pills similar to the Holy Blood Pill.

His goal was simple: the Blood Transformation Technique was only 20% away from reaching its limit. If he could find a Saint Blood Pill or similar elixir within the Ziyang Sect, he could cultivate it to its maximum potential.

At that time, you will have three ultimate supernatural powers.

He will be one step closer to achieving the Boundless Vajra Iron Shirt technique.

Two days later, after leaving his residence, Su Chen received a message from Elder Liu that the transformation of his mountain peak was complete and he was to go and take a look.

Upon hearing the news, Su Chen immediately flew towards his first mountain peak. (End of Chapter)
