Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

They wouldn't let those challengers be afraid of them, and the more they wanted to bully them, the better.

The staff member had genuinely never seen such a bizarre request before. Why were you two so confident in your abilities?

But having already received the benefits, they had no choice but to comply. So, early that morning, Li Xiu and Li Duotian were already surrounded by a line of challengers.

Upon realizing that he possessed such an alluring quality, Li Xiu couldn't help but click his tongue. It seemed that the people here were all very eager to cultivate.

Or perhaps the pressure of accumulating points is simply too great, so when they see these two readily available, easy targets, everyone wants to take advantage of them.

But Li Xiu was secretly delighted. He was a cactus, after all. If that slap came down, he would be bleeding profusely.

Li Xiu casually glanced at the three or four people who had suddenly appeared before him. He randomly picked one and began his first round of combat in the arena.

Li Xiu had no recollection of this guy before; he probably had never seen him before at all.

This guy doesn't seem to know Li Xiu either, and doesn't seem to be a very active person.

Li Xiu naturally wouldn't underestimate such an unknown opponent, and he seriously put his cultivation experience into practice.

Perhaps because of the newcomer gift pack, the opponent that Li Xiuzhe randomly chose was probably similar to Wang Xuan in terms of strength, with average strength and average burst of power.

Of course, this is only in comparison to geniuses. In the places he has been, he would probably be considered a prodigy.

Chapter 1526 Under double stimulation, they all went on stage to fight.

However, even they were quickly defeated in the face of a genius like Li Xiu.

Li Xiu won this battle quite easily. It wasn't that he knocked the opponent down in one move, but rather that he used every move perfectly, without any waste.

Moreover, he maintained control throughout the match, using his newly developed techniques to cleverly counter his opponent's continuous attacks, which is why he easily won the game.

The more techniques he has within his body, the more impressed Li Xiu becomes, realizing that he is indeed continuously improving.

When I first came to this world, I obtained the Chaos Green Lotus Heart, which allowed me to return to my original nature. I basically forgot all my techniques, and my moves were almost completely washed away.

Now that he has a complete understanding of the techniques, he has begun to create more and more moves and skills.

Many moves come naturally and can be adjusted at any time according to the actual situation on the field, so there is no need to memorize them anymore.

After Li Xiu easily passed the first level, the number of people coming to challenge him did not decrease, but rather increased.

They were also curious about which newcomer was so arrogant as to defeat the first challenger in less than a minute, which was a slap in the face to them, the veterans.

If a newcomer is allowed to occupy a stage for an entire day, Li Xiu's name will undoubtedly become famous here.

However, Li Xiu's own strength should not be underestimated. Therefore, in the first five or six battles, Li Xiu won very easily. No one could last more than ten minutes against him.

Li Duotian was similar at eight o'clock, as he was extremely irritable, purely power-oriented, and possessed abundant physical strength.

Therefore, he would unleash his full power against every opponent right from the start, using this shameless fighting style to instantly kill the newbies, taking down seven or eight of them, and even being much stronger than Li Xiu.

Li Duotian and Li Xiu were of one mind. When Li Duotian realized that Li Xiu had won fewer matches than him, he arrogantly said to Li Xiu, "Big brother, you're behind this time."

Meanwhile, a group of onlookers were furious to see the two of them flattering each other, but they had to hold back. They needed to prove themselves strong enough before they could even challenge the tiger's whiskers.

Li Xiu readily agreed, saying, "What?"

"It's because the people on my side are cowardly. They're all watching from below and don't dare to come up, unlike you, where they'd all be your casualties."

Li Xiu said this intentionally; what he wanted to do was to provoke these first-year and second-year students, to get them to come up and fight with him more.

Otherwise, it would be too boring to occupy the arena but not get to fight.

Sure enough, under the double stimulation of Li Xiu and Li Duotian, a large number of hot-blooded young men below could not hold back and jumped onto the arena with unusual enthusiasm.

Previously, Li Xiu might have to choose one out of three or four people at a time, but now there are more than ten people available for him to choose from.

However, Li Xiu remained the same as always, completely random, letting whoever he liked do the job.

Chapter 1527 A Dedicated Elemental Cultivator

This time, Li Xiu took his opponent a little more seriously, because he discovered that the guy who dared to be so proactive and eager to come up now, besides being young and energetic, must have some hidden trump cards in his own strength.

Otherwise, what's the difference between it and those previous fish belly pieces?

The guy Li Xiu is currently paired with is also a very handsome young man. This guy looks very young, and compared to Li Xiu, he's just a little kid.

However, Li Xiu would not underestimate his opponent just because he was young. The fact that he was able to come to Wuzhuang Temple to cultivate at such a young age was enough to prove how terrifying his talent must be within his family.

The handsome young man was very impolite when he came up. Without any pleasantries, he launched his attack directly.

Although the young man looks handsome, his attacks are incredibly cold.

It's pure ice.

Even Li Xiu might not be entirely impressed by this single-element design.

In my previous world, I had encountered many people who chose to use one element as their lifelong energy source for cultivation, and all their techniques revolved around the energy of that one element.

Although it is difficult to truly break through the limits of this method, the speed of breakthrough is very fast in the early and middle stages. Moreover, if one comprehends the true essence of this element after cultivating to the extreme, there will be a significant improvement.

It was just one step away from the goal, but the intensity was still sufficient.

This pure ice-attribute attack caused Li Xiu some minor trouble.

Li Xiu also experienced a rare chill from the ice.

You must know that Li Xiu had undergone inhuman torture and tearing in that chaotic cave.

The fact that Li Xiu can feel such pure coldness shows that the guy in front of him has a very deep understanding of ice.

Faced with this respectable opponent, Li Xiu drew his weapon, the Hongjun Sword.

Each star that lights up can double the power of the Hongjun Sword, so Li Xiu felt he needed to get a little more serious.

Meanwhile, the handsome young man was also in great pain. The sharp pressure brought by the starlight of the Hongjun Sword was etched onto his body, as if it would completely shatter all the ice on his body into snowflakes.

If ice is so powerful, then snowflakes are nothing to worry about; they'll just drift away with a gentle breeze.

So now this little guy is gritting his teeth and barely maintaining his true essence of icy coldness.

If this thing is cracked, then we will collapse on our own.

Seeing that his opponent was already in such a predicament, Li Xiu showed no mercy. If he were to be so generous as not to take advantage of the situation, he would be a fool.

Therefore, Li Xiu also activated his Hongjun Sword and casually unleashed a sword aura.

This sword energy seems very simple; it's just a way to triple the energy of one's own sword intent without consuming much power, and it doesn't consume much energy from the Hongjun Sword either.

This is a very ordinary and simple trick.

But this very move became the final straw that broke the camel's back for the handsome young man before them.

The intense sword intent pierced through the outermost layer of his icy defenses, and the ice collapsed on its own.

Chapter 1528: Surrendered Directly

Seeing that the ice he depended on for survival had been destroyed, the clear-eyed boy stopped fighting and surrendered immediately.

For Li Xiu, this was a classic, textbook victory, and for the boy, it was not an embarrassing defeat.

If we have a chance to meet after the match, we might be able to exchange some words.

After Li Xiu won the match with a brief exchange of pointers, he returned to Li Duotian's side.

It has to be said that Li Duotian was attacked even more severely than Li Xiu, after all, he was the one who started the mockery.

Besides, do those onlookers even consider Li Xiu and Li Duotian to be brothers? Since the younger brother is so arrogant, they should at least teach him a lesson first.

Li Duotian's way of handling things was also very frustrating. He always used overwhelming force to crush people, showing no skill whatsoever, which made these people extremely angry.

Seeing this scene made Li Duotian even happier. He was not afraid of his opponent's strength, even if the opponent was stronger than him.

The type of mage he dislikes fighting the most is the kind who tries to wear you down; these mages can be really annoying when they get going.

Li Duotian also finds this kind of guy the most troublesome. His effective attack range is limited, so he naturally hates guys with long arms.

Just as Li Duotian was smugly continuing to act nonchalant, his next opponent appeared.

This guy should be able to satisfy Li Duotian's tastes 100%.

His opponent was about twice his size and named Lin Xiang.

This Lin Xiang's physique is not only quite exaggerated, but when he steps onto the arena, the entire arena floor trembles. This scene makes it easy to feel Lin Xiang's exaggerated weight.

The onlookers below were even more excited, as if they had grasped a lifeline, and cheered wildly for the giant Lin Xiang above.

As Lin Xiang felt the enthusiastic attention below, his own fat began to bulge, creating a rather shocking visual effect.

Li Duotian also unleashed his amazing talent for sarcasm, saying to Lin Xiang in front of him, "Hey bro, you're so fat, do you ever find yourself squeezing your legs between your own flesh when you walk?"

Although Lin Xiang knew he wasn't thin, what he couldn't stand the most was people saying he was fat.

Others may say I'm very strong, muscular, and sturdy, but you can't say I'm fat. If you dare to say I'm fat, I'll use this fat to make you greasy to death.

Only by crushing you to death with flesh can the lingering resentment in my heart be resolved.

Lin Xiang's face darkened, and he said to Li Duotian, "Kid, you'll pay the price for your nonsense. I'll tell you one last time, I'm not fat, I'm healthy."

Li Duotian, ever the cheeky one, even made a vomiting face and said, "Do you even believe what you're saying?"

"I'm telling you, you should just cut off your flesh and sell it. Maybe you'll get a good price for it." Li Duotian's mouth didn't stop either, and he started his sarcastic mode, constantly mocking the guy from multiple angles.

Lin Xiangli was indeed easily provoked by Li Duotian and quickly became enraged. He stopped arguing with Li Duotian and prepared to unleash his ultimate move.

Chapter 1529 Encountered a Master

Seeing that the guy in front of him was about to unleash his full power, Li Duotian breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that if he provoked the guy, the guy would resort to any means to win, or even play a guerrilla-style game of attrition.
