The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 218 First Seat
Three days passed in a flash, and Zhao Jinhu (ranked fifty-eight), Liang Le (ranked fifty-ninth), and Zhao Kang (ranked sixtieth), who were originally ranked after Su Yan fifty-seventh, were all picked up and became new disciples.

Before the fifty-seventh place, several disciples on the Tiger List were challenged and knocked down.

In a short period of time, nearly one-sixth of the top sixty disciples on the Tiger List were replaced.

The difference in a fight is just a matter of millimeters. Sometimes, just a thought or whether one is ready to die or not can determine the winner.

As Gu Songde said, in order to secure his position, he moved forward several places and challenged the 40th position.

He acted decisively and with a certain ease, and it was obvious that he did not use his full strength to get on the list.

Like him, Yao Yunzhou from Baimang Peak also climbed up a few places to the 37th place. When he attacked, he only used a single sword strike.

Everyone knows that the focus of the competition is in the knockout round. As long as you win one game, you can enter the top 30 and at least have the opportunity to go to the Blood Dragon Secret Realm.

Going up is the battle for ranking. The higher you are, the richer the sect rewards will be. If you rank first, the sect will even reward you with 50,000 contribution points and a chance to choose treasures of grade four or below.

The fourth level is the level of a Dharma Real Person, who can live for a thousand years. He is a big figure in Lingnan Prefecture, and even outside of Lingnan Prefecture.

Even though everyone knows that a fourth-level item may not be able to directly help him break through the Dharma Realm, it can at least increase his chances, such as a fourth-level technique.

Su Yan came to the Jiubei Lingtai. The two platforms were facing each other from afar. There were only sixty places left on the platform belonging to the Tiger List disciples, and all of them were disciples who were going to participate in the elimination round.

When he arrived, Zhao Mingcheng, Yuan Yi and others had already arrived here.

When they saw Su Yan, they nodded slightly.

Su Yan found a seat and sat down, but before he could settle down, Xia Wan'er immediately came and sat down next to him.

"The eight great masters and the sect leader are all here today. You'd better behave yourself. If you want to practice the fourth-level technique, you must get the approval of the master. We will have to deal with each other in the future."

After all, Xia Wan'er has been practicing for a longer time, so she can speak very clearly.

"take it"

As she was speaking, Xia Wan'er had a porcelain bottle in her hand.

"what?"

Before she could react, she subconsciously opened the porcelain bottle and a whiff of medicinal fragrance wafted out.

She immediately corked the bottle and stared at Su Yan fiercely, with shock in her eyes. She wanted to press her graceful body against Su Yan to get a closer look.

"You, you refined it just like that?!"

"Well, once the materials are fully prepared, it can be refined."

Su Yan said this calmly, as if it was a matter of course.

Xia Wan'er was still in a state of illusion.

Why?

This is a third-level elixir, even though she already trusts Su Yan enough.

That also means that Su Yan will need at least another half a month or even one or two months to think about it.

This is normal. Alchemy is something that takes a lot of energy.

But how long has it been?

Only two or three days had passed.

This is not a second-level top-grade alchemist at all. He is trying to break through to the third-level alchemist. It is clearly pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.

She couldn't help but say quietly, "Next time, make the process sound more difficult."

Su Yan raised his eyebrows slightly: "So as to sell it at a high price?"

"No, to prevent being beaten."

Xia Wan'er was shocked. She was usually a cheerful woman, but she became less talkative. However, her peripheral vision would always be on Su Yan, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

On the high platform, all the disciples on the Tiger List were present, and all sixty of them were sitting quietly in their seats. On the viewing seats below the platform, the disciples of the Beast King Sect had already surrounded the Nine Stele Spirit Platform in three layers. At a glance, they were shoulder to shoulder, and everyone was excited.

Several streams of light flew from various peaks. Everyone immediately straightened their backs and looked at the streams of light with respect.

The leader was wearing a blue and white Taoist robe and standing on a soaring dragon-feathered eagle. He looked like an immortal. He was Chu Qidao, the leader of the Beast King Sect.

Following closely behind him was a skinny old man with gray hair and beard, wearing gray cloth clothes and holding a dark blunt sword at his waist.

He came flying in the air, stepping on the void as if walking on flat ground. His body was neither fast nor slow, but his speed was not much slower than Chu Qidao. It was Qin Lifu, the master of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Beast King Sect.

After the two of them, there were eight other people in the stream of light, all of whom were extraordinary in appearance and bearing.

Hu Yangming from Baihu Peak and Gu Sanqian from Guizang Valley were also among them. Beside them was a woman in palace dress, with a gorgeous face, like a rich flower in the water. She was none other than Bi Qingman, the head of Suiyue Peak.

On his right side, there was a tall, solemn man with black hair and long beard, about fifty years old, with majestic eyes. He was riding a green jade dragon. It was Lin Bumo, the head of Canglong Peak.

Zhu Zhilan, the chief of Baimang Peak, Yuan Lan, the chief of Fuhai Peak, Du Rushan, the chief of Fuyue Peak, and Fan Shouzheng, the chief of Heishi Peak, followed closely behind and all flew to the Nine-Stele Spirit Platform.

Everyone settled down and a few of them sat down on the seats, which were exactly ten fragrant cedar chairs.

Danqiao was also present, but not many, and they were all serving as referees for today's competition.

There are five arenas in total, each one is a hundred meters long, square and has been blessed by the Nine Stele Spirit Platform.

There is an elder beside each arena, whose cultivation level is at least Danqiao, and Yin Mingchen, the elder on duty, is the chief referee of the competition.

"Master, all sixty disciples on the Tiger List are here."

Yin Mingchen clasped his hands in greeting. Chu Qidao's gaze fell on the podium and he nodded slightly: "Then come up to the stage and let the masters see your style."

"Yes"

Yin Mingchen said, "The top sixty disciples on the Tiger List will come up on stage and draw lots."

it has started.

The top sixty disciples on the Tiger List stood up from their seats. Some were nervous, while others were eager to try.

There were seven peaks and one valley, and powerful figures in the Dharma Realm such as the Sect Master and the Lord of the Law Enforcement Hall were watching the competition. For these disciples in the True Meaning Realm, it was a grand occasion.

Su Yan was calm, his eyes swept across the Dharma Realm, and he thought to himself: "His aura is as powerful as the abyss. If it were any ferocious insect opponent, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to withstand more than one or two moves. However... there are other masters."

His sensitive perception revealed that there were other masters outside the platform, either suspended in mid-air or among the crowd, looking at the arena from afar.

"Ok?"

Chu Qidao's expression moved slightly, and he looked at Su Yan and smiled.

"This is the disciple named Su Yan. He has such a keen sense..."

Su Yan did not use his mental power, but even so, his perception was still too abrupt in front of these powerful Dharma Realm masters.

The tiger will not notice the ants, but if there is a mantis among the ants, it will be very obvious.

Su Yan is the outlier among this group of little ants.

"Is that a disciple from Guizang Valley?"

Lin Bumo raised his eyes slightly, and Gu Sanqian snorted: "How?"

"He has good physique and looks, but I'm not sure how high he'll rank."

Lin Bumo had also heard about the conflict between this disciple and the Qing family, but he didn't care and his eyes remained indifferent.

Bi Qingman from Broken Moon Peak's eyes lit up slightly. What a handsome young man.

She opened her mouth slightly and said with a smile, "How about we make a bet? Senior Brother Lin, do you want to try it?"

Lin Bumo looked at Bi Qingman, raised his eyes slightly, and was a little surprised.

The Tiger List competition is held every year, and there is a group of outstanding disciples every few years.

They are all hundreds of years old and have seen all kinds of talented disciples.

Bi Qingman narrowed her eyes slightly, a strange color flashed across them, and her eyes swept over Gu Sanqian.

"Brother Gu, do you want to try?" Lin Bumo frowned slightly. Gu Sanqian showed a bit of surprise and nodded, "Okay, I'll bet on first place, how about it?"

Everyone turned their heads and looked at Gu Sanqian in surprise. Is he so brave?

Those disciples don’t know Yuan Yi’s foundation, so how could these abbots know something about it?
Bi Qingman shook his head slightly and said, "Senior Brother Gu, how about taking it slow? Your disciple is a good follower, but he is still a few years behind Yuan Yi."

"Junior Sister Bi, what place do you think he can get?"

Gu Sanqian asked back, and everyone was stunned. Looking at Bi Qingman, she pondered for a moment: "The top three on the Tiger List will definitely be number one in a year."

嘶

After hearing this, even the Lord of the Law Enforcement Hall, Qin Lifu, opened his eyes, and a strange color flashed in his calm eyes.

"Top ten at most."

Lin Bumo didn't believe it, he raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Su Yan's body.

Bi Qingman didn't argue, but looked at the other leaders with a smile: "Anyone else want to place a bet?"

Zhu Zhilan of Baimang Peak and Du Rushan of Fuyue Peak both shook their heads. They didn't like having their disciples gambled in this way, so they decided not to join in the fun.

Fu Haifeng and Yuan Lan smiled without saying anything. They didn't know Su Yan's background well, so they naturally wouldn't do anything that was uncertain.

"No gambling"

Qin Lifu's answer was concise and clear. Chu Qidao shook his head slightly: "It's not appropriate for this old man to end up like this. You can just play around, but don't make the stakes too high."

The only one left was Hu Yangming. Who would have thought that he would say calmly, "I have already placed a bet with that kid."

Everyone was even more surprised. Yuan Lan couldn't help but ask, "Senior Sister Bi, what did you find?"

Bi Qingman said calmly, "The Eclipse Moonworm told me that his bloodline is very powerful."

Everyone was immediately surprised, and their eyes all fell on Su Yan.

Especially Chu Qidao, he asked: "Junior sister, are you sure?"

"of course."

The Moon-Eclipse Worm has almost become her natal beast. Years of rituals and training have almost connected her life to it. Its mental power is particularly strong, and its perception is even more accurate.

Inside the body, the Moon-Eclipse Worm trembled slightly, and the message it conveyed was: there was a bloodline that was not weaker than its own, or even stronger.

Is it possible for Su Yan to control insect beasts above level four?

Obviously it is impossible, even if he is gifted, so it can only be his own talent.

"Junior Brother Gu..."

Gu Sanqian nodded slowly: "I was born with a martial body, but I don't know what bloodline it is."

"This is enough."

Chu Qidao nodded and smiled. A disciple born with a martial body, whose bloodline was not weaker than that of a fourth-level disaster beast, would have a high probability of reaching the Dharma Realm as long as the bloodline was activated properly.

Every Dharma Realm person will be the pillar of the sect.

While they were talking, a group of disciples had already started drawing lots under the supervision of Yin Mingchen. There were a total of thirty red and white glass beads with numbers embedded in them, corresponding to each other.

Everyone raised their hands and grabbed a bead, each holding it in their palms.

"number 15"

Su Yan looked at the bead and saw the red number 15. Gu Songde, who was standing next to him, saw it was also red and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's safe. Junior brother, it looks like we won't face each other in the first game."

Su Yan looked up and asked, "What's your number, Senior Brother?"

"Red beads, number 12."

The familiar disciples asked each other for their numbers. At this time, Xia Wan'er also came over. Seeing Su Yan's expression, she was shocked at first, but fortunately, their numbers were different.

Yin Mingchen said, "Red and blue are pairs. Those with the same number will be your opponents in the first duel. Come over here one by one and give me the beads."

Everyone handed over their hands one after another. Number one was Lan Yunyue from Baimang Peak, and the one competing with her was a disciple who was originally ranked 23rd.

Later, the names of the disciples appeared on the stone tablet one by one, and everyone could see them clearly.

Gu Songde faced Yao Yunzhou, who was ranked 37th on the Tiger List. The old acquaintances also became old rivals, and both of them looked very upset.

The more you understand, the more difficult it becomes to take action.

Finally, Yin Mingchen called Su Yan's name: "Su Yan from Guizang Valley is fighting against Qi Yufei from Fuyue Peak."

When the two names appeared on the stone tablet, there was an uproar in the audience stands.

Although not many people know about the affairs of Baihu Peak Martial Arts Hall, there are still some who know.

"Humph"

Qi Yufei snorted coldly, raised his eyes and stared at Su Yan: "Okay, let me show you my sword skills."

Qi Yufei is an outlier. Although he is in Fuyue Peak, he practices swordsmanship and has the ability to split mountains with one sword.

The mountain-splitting sword has been practiced to perfection, and the sword-carrying ape is even more powerful.

His abilities were incompatible with Fuyue Peak Master's heavy and defensive style, but his strength was unquestionable.

As Yin Mingchen arranged the opponents one group at a time, all the duels were revealed.

"Groups one to five will stay. The rest of the disciples will step down and wait."

As Yin Mingchen's voice fell, there were only five groups of opponents left on the five arenas.

"Feel free to attack, but remember not to kill. If you do, don't blame the sect for being ruthless."

"Yes, elder."

Yin Mingchen warned that with an elder from the Danqiao realm as the referee, unless he wanted to kill his opponent, he should go straight for the opponent's life from the beginning.

Otherwise, it would be unlikely that there would be manslaughter by mistake.

You know, in addition to Danqiao Zhenren, Jiubei Lingtai is also an important means to prevent death or disability.

Everyone stood still and immediately began fighting at the referee's command.

Lan Yunyue held a jade sword in her hand. She raised her eyes slightly and said calmly, "Junior brother, please take action."

The young man opposite gritted his teeth and immediately used all his means. His true meaning emerged. It was a burly armored beast with a black armored rhinoceros rushing out from behind it.

His true intention and spirit merged, his momentum surged, and in just a moment he burst out with all his strength.

Lan Yunyue's eyes moved slightly, and she slashed with the jade sword in her hand. Suddenly, wind and clouds surged, and the sword light instantly passed through the clouds. With just one strike, she broke the true meaning of the armored beast.

The man on the opposite side wanted to continue attacking, but the next sword was as elusive as clouds and mist, like a white dragon flashing by, knocking him away in an instant.

With one move, the disciple was defeated.

His true meaning was broken, the true energy in his body was in turmoil, and the contracted beast had no time to attack, and a wound appeared on his body. Even he himself flew out and fell onto the stage.

"Lan Yunyue of White Python Peak wins."

The fight was won easily, but the rest of the arena was a close fight.

In order to enter the top 30, everyone tried their best.

It took a full half hour for the winners to be decided in all the arenas.

The five groups in the middle were much faster, including Yuan Yi, Xia Wan'er, and Zhao Mingcheng, so the opponents naturally found it difficult to cope with them.

After another half-hour of rest, it was finally time for the last group of people to compete.

Su Yan was among them.
