Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Therefore, they all have a very keen eye for Li Xiu now, and they all want to see what kind of magic Li Xiu can use.

Chapter 1522 requires a battle to break through the bottleneck.

With such a practical reference, it might be easier for them to cultivate again or deliberately create a spell.

So, as soon as Li Xiu came out, quite a few guys took the initiative to come up and greet him.

Since it's a public place and Zhen Yuanzi is preaching there, no one can actually take action or do anything.

However, their interest in Li Xiu also made Li Xiu's scalp tingle. So many grown men staring at you with such envious eyes, the pressure was unimaginable.

Although Li Xiu's current strength is quite good, it would still be difficult for him to escape from so many people.

Li Xiu could only force a smile and say to everyone, "It seems everyone still has ideas. Why don't you hurry home and cultivate? If we run into each other again, we can exchange ideas."

Li Xiu didn't dare to just ignore everyone and leave, so he had no choice but to use a delaying tactic.

After Li Xiu finished speaking, some people stopped paying attention to him. What belongs to others will always belong to others. Only by truly researching or finding one's own cultivation method can one better improve one's strength.

Li Xiu's words weren't entirely useless; they calmed the crowd's agitation and allowed him to listen to what questions this guy from the Xuantian Sect wanted to ask.

Not long after Li Xiu came out, it was Xuan Tian Men's turn. As usual, Zhen Yuanzi was very reliable and took the initiative to ask that guy from Xuan Tian Men a few questions.

The guy's problem mainly concerned his own use of skills, and Li Xiu didn't gain much from it.

Li Duotian was the same; for him, skills were the least useful thing.

So the two of them left very quietly after hearing half of it, so as not to attract too much attention.

Now Li Xiu has also understood his cultivation method in a short period of time.

Aside from having a stroke of good luck and successfully leveling up your spells, you also need to practice more in real combat.

In fact, to be honest, this is something that Li Xiu does need to pay attention to. Although he is now the target of everyone's criticism, he still needs to prepare for the opponents he is about to face.

When Li Xiu and Li Duotian left, Yan Lingfeng also left with them. He asked, "How was today's lecture? What did you gain from it?"

Li Xiu remained there the whole time, and he was very satisfied.

After all, it solved my own practical problem!

So Li Xiu discussed his next training plan with Yan Lingfeng again: "Brother Yan, my cultivation has reached a bottleneck. I need to fight."

Do you have any recommendations for relatively safe combat scenarios?

"Although I went to the martial arts arena a couple of days ago, it seems the conditions are still quite expensive."

Yan Lingfeng replied, "Then you don't need to worry. The training ground is definitely a good place for you to improve your skills through actual combat."

"We know about what happened a couple of days ago. That was a high-level martial arts arena, not something ordinary people can afford. It's only used for very important battles."

"Normally, we can just go to the most common, most basic training grounds."

Chapter 1523 Setting Up a Challenge

"Moreover, you can customize your settings, even participate in tournaments, etc. It will definitely be very easy to meet your needs."

Li Xiu was somewhat tempted when he heard that Yan Lingfeng had added so many features.

He knew this place was good, but he didn't expect it to be so humane. He figured he could add another bet if he wanted to. If he lost, so be it. He wasn't exactly strapped for cash; he was relatively well-off.

Having made up his mind, Li Xiu said to Li Duotian, "Alright, we two have something to do. Let's go to the arena tomorrow and set up for a whole day first."

Upon hearing Li Xiu's words, Li Duotian was naturally very excited, as the best way for him to improve his combat strength was, of course, through battle.

Perhaps because he had broken more and more of his seals, Li Duotian felt that his body could now accept the limitations of energy and had reached a relatively stable stage.

It's time to give myself a boost and improve myself.

Just as Li Xiu and Li Duotian were optimistically anticipating their next advancement, Yu Tianxuan returned to Xuantian Sect at some unknown time.

Judging from Yu Tianxuan's face, he is not in a good state. He looks like he is injured or has been taught a lesson.

When Yu Tianxuan returned, he asked, "Lin Yu, has anything happened recently?"

Lin Yu replied naturally, "Apart from you missing one of Zhen Yuanzi's lectures, nothing really happened."

Yu Tianxuan nodded and continued, "Alright, that's good. I'll need you to take good care of things at Xuantian Sect for the next while. My trial isn't over yet; it's been incredibly difficult."

Lin Yu also confidently said, "Don't worry, I will definitely get everything sorted out for you regarding the Xuantian Sect."

As he was leaving, Yu Tianxuan suddenly remembered something and asked, "How did things go with Wang Xuan?"

Lin Yu paused when he heard Yu Tianxuan ask this question. At this moment, he was thinking that since Yu Tianxuan was going out again, the outcome of this matter should not hinder his actions.

I just don't know if he already knows what's going on.

Lin Yu is now struggling with how to answer.

If he wanted to eliminate the troublesome Xuantianmen organization from within, or if he came to Xuantianmen only to find experts, then he would do whatever he wanted.

But now he wants to take care of Li Xiu a little, so how should he answer?

Lin Yu's inner turmoil lasted only a moment before he had already decided on his answer.

He replied to Yu Tianxuan, "Don't worry, I'll cover for Wang Xuan no matter what he does here, and I won't let him do anything to damage the reputation of Xuantian Sect."

"As for how he will solve it, let him do it his own way."

Lin Yu also evaded the question and did not directly answer Yu Tianxuan's question. Yu Tianxuan seemed to be in a hurry to leave, or perhaps he didn't care about the matter and just wanted to let it go.

After seeing Yu Tianxuan leave, Lin Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Chapter 1524 is simply a money grab!

Watching Yu Tianxuan's departing figure, Lin Yu said to himself, "It seems I should speed up my plans."

The next day, Li Xiu and Li Duotian arrived at the martial arts arena early, wanting to consult the receptionist to see what procedures they would need to complete if they wanted to participate in a fight.

Unfortunately, when Li Xiu and Li Duotian arrived here today, they did not see that young man.

They had no choice but to ask any random guy.

The staff member also said to the two of them, "The arena is a fairly common form of combat in martial arts training grounds."

"The funds for the arena are usually settled after each match. If you want to fight in the arena, you only need to pay the funds for the first match, and the loser pays for the rest. Some people can keep fighting, and half of the deposit is refunded when the arena ends."

Li Xiu stroked his chin, thinking that if that was the case, then it was quite humane.

"For someone of similar skill level like me, how many points would it take to set up a challenge?"

The staff also mentioned that the points required depend on the time; ten points are enough for a day or less, but if you play for a longer period, you may need to pay more.

Within a day?

To be honest, Li Xiu was quite surprised when he heard the staff mention the time limit. Did they play games all night long until they were completely exhausted?

Seeing the surprise written all over Li Xiu's face, the waiter realized that these two guys were completely new.

He also explained, "You two are overthinking things. The term 'ring' doesn't refer to how long you've been away from the ring this time, but rather your total accumulated time spent in the ring."

"Because the arena mode offers relatively more benefits. For example, if you fight in the first two matches, your defense level may reach the intermediate level. That's why we charge a little more."

"The time calculated is the total time you spend in arena battles. It will accumulate for each arena battle, not just one day at a time."

Li Xiu was initially hoping to be happy, but after hearing the staff's explanation, he couldn't help but curse, "This is simply ripping me off!"

If a battle maniac fights every day, wouldn't he have to spend money every day?

And that was indeed the case, but it wasn't as bad as Li Xiu had imagined, since he wouldn't have to pay if he won.

This leads to a problem: the more a player fights, the more afraid they are of losing, and the more desperate they become to win every match. Otherwise, others might not have accumulated enough time, and the amount of money they pay out for losing would be limited.

If I lose, over such a long period of time, I might end up spending the equivalent of a very expensive meal in one game.

Li Xiu had to accept the system's design, even though he criticized it.

However, he also understood that his setup was intended to help the trainees who came here to fight better.

But with a little prize involved, things change. Someone who might have only used 60-70% of their strength before will now take it much more seriously.

After understanding the specific rules, Li Xiu said to Li Duotian, "Let's each have a match, and play for a full 24 hours first."

"If you can't last 24 hours, and you go down there, don't blame me for personally training you."

Chapter 1525 Not a single one who can fight.

Li Duotian patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely fight until dawn."

Seeing these two lively fellows so confident, the staff member couldn't help but shake his head. So many young people come here with such a bold and ambitious air.

But the harsh reality will soon bring them down, because none of those who come to challenge them are pushovers.

Besides being able to fight for free, the arena also has its own points system. Once you accumulate enough points, you can exchange them for tokens, so it's a way to make money.

Li Xiu also had his own selfish motives; he knew that scoring points in the arena might be faster than doing other things.

He now wants to accumulate more points so he can see if there are any other places in Zhen Yuanzi's Wuzhuang Temple where he can quickly improve his strength.

Li Xiu's magic hasn't had a chance to improve yet. He can recreate the scene of fighting Lin Yu, since all he needs to do is fight Lin Yu again.

As for rare and precious treasures, you can exchange them yourself using points in the treasure vault of Wuzhuang Temple.

Therefore, Li Xiu has another very important task right now: to earn points. Obviously, fighting in the arena and maintaining a winning streak is the fastest way.

After Li Xiu and Li Duotian set up the arena, people quickly came up to challenge them.

Because the two of them had told the staff before setting up the arena that it was their first time there, this information was leaked out.
