Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

Zhang Chen came to the yard and started practicing according to what Sima Feng had taught him. He had to attack quickly and steadily, so as to expose the opponent's flaws and attack when he was off guard.

"Since they have arranged people to challenge us, they must have something to rely on." Zhang Chen panted, touched the weight on his body, and thought about countermeasures.

Boom boom boom... Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Zhang Chen opened the door and saw that it was Lu Jun and the other three.

"Junior Brother Zhang, have you made up your mind? Do you want to sell the pills to us?" Lu Jun said coldly when he saw Zhang Chen opening the door.

"You'd better sell it to us, otherwise I'm afraid you'll come back lying down in tomorrow's competition," one of them interrupted in a threatening tone.

"Zheng Xuan was at the fourth level of Qi Condensation before, but he fell to the first level due to injury. He is not comparable to you, a newly-initiated disciple. If you sell the pills to us now, we can persuade him to cancel this competition." The last person advised gently.

Zhang Chen felt a little disgusted when he saw their faces. They were forcing people to buy and sell things and they were so confident. If there is a first time, there will be a second time. The previous compromise was exchanged for today's further demands. Zhang Chen decided to compete even if he got hurt, otherwise his state of mind would definitely be affected. It would definitely be more difficult to practice in the future.

"I won't sell the pills. Brothers, if you don't have anything else to do, I'll go practice first," Zhang Chen said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. You have just entered the sect and you probably don't know how cruel the world of immortal cultivation is. If you offend us..." After saying this, Lu Jun chuckled twice and his threat was no longer concealed.

"Thank you, senior brothers, for your reminder. I now know." Zhang Chen said and closed the door. He didn't want to see them again for a moment.

"Wait, kid. Let's go." Lu Jun looked at the closed door. If he hadn't thought about the severe punishment for taking action outside the sect's rules, he would have taught Zhang Chen a lesson. Then he left angrily with the other two.

When he reached the corner, Lu Jun suddenly stopped and turned to walk in another direction.

"Let's go find Zheng Xuan, give him a few more spirit stones, and tell him to break that guy's ribs," the three of them said as they walked away.

After the three left, Zhang Chen returned to the yard

"This time we've completely fallen out." Zhang Chen didn't think too much about it and continued practicing.

After exercising for nearly two hours, Zhang Chen was panting and dragged his tired body into the room.

Zhang Chen was lying on the bed resting. He would not practice tonight. He planned to have a good sleep and get enough rest to prepare for tomorrow's challenge.

The next morning, Zhang Chen got up, put on some underwear, packed his things, and took his storage bag. Although it was still early, Zhang Chen still felt that he should go there to familiarize himself with the environment and see if he could get some information about Zheng Xuan. Knowing yourself and the enemy will give you a better chance of winning.

Zhang Chen walked along the road, occasionally meeting some new students, chatting with them occasionally. He also asked about the location of the small training ground in the east district, and soon arrived.

The small training ground was specially used for training and competitions for Qi Condensation disciples. It was 100 feet long and 80 feet wide. There were some racks on both sides of the ground, on which were placed some secular weapons. There were several high platforms for competitions in the middle, and some wooden stakes and targets at the back.

Maybe Zhang Chen came early, there was no competition training here for the time being. Zhang Chen looked at the high platform for the competition, which was two meters high, ten meters long and wide, with stone stairs on both sides.

"I don't know how the competition will be held, and whether weapons will be used. If weapons are used, I will definitely suffer a loss," Zhang Chen looked around and thought secretly.

"Zheng Xuan once reached the fourth level of Qi Condensation. His physical body should be stronger than mine after being nourished by spiritual energy. He also started learning more than a year earlier than me, and his physical fighting skills may be more experienced than mine. How can I win?"

Zhang Chen thought about the time when he hunted leopards with Sima Feng.

"I will show weakness to the enemy first, wait for the right opportunity, and win with one move." Zhang Chen determined his own fighting style in his heart.

"Now they all think that I will lose for sure, so I will take advantage of their own tactic."

Zhang Chen kept thinking about countermeasures and details in his mind.

Time passed slowly, and it was almost time for the challenge. Zheng Xuan, Lu Jun and the other three walked into the training ground. They immediately saw Zhang Chen, who was resting with his eyes closed.

"Boy, I'll give you one last chance, do you want to sell it?" Lu Jun walked to Zhang Chen, lowered his head and said coldly.

Zhang Chen didn't say anything. He opened his eyes, looked at Lu Jun, and closed them again.

"Hmph." Seeing Zhang Chen's expression, Lu Jun gritted his teeth and walked back to Zheng Xuan and the others.

"Be more ruthless when the time comes and teach him a lesson."

Just as noon arrived, a man in his thirties came in at the entrance of the training ground. He had a stern and serious face, and it was obvious that he was a serious person. He was wearing a yellow robe, but there was a red label on the sleeve with two eye-catching words "Order" on it.

This person was the person in charge of this challenge for Zhang Chen and Zheng Xuan. He came to the training ground and spoke to several people.

"Who is Zheng Xuan? Who is Zhang Chen?"

Zheng Xuan came out, "I am Zheng Xuan"

Zhang Chen also stood up and walked over. "I am Zhang Chen."

The person in charge of the challenge checked Zheng Xuan and Zhang Chen's cultivation and said to Zheng Xuan, "Okay, Zheng Xuan challenges Zhang Chen. The challenge requires eight low-grade spirit stones."

Zheng Xuan was stunned. Normally, one level of Qi Condensation would cost at most three spirit stones. How come there were so many this time?

"Senior brother, are you mistaken? According to the first level of Qi Condensation cultivation, there should be three pieces, right?" Lu Jun walked over and asked softly to the man who was responsible for the challenge.

"This is according to the sect's rules, but he has only been a member for more than a month, while the other one has been a member for more than a year. Although their cultivation levels are the same, it is still a bit unfair, so the challenger needs to pay a higher price. If he wants to cancel, he must pay half of the spirit stones." The person in charge of the challenge explained coldly.

Lu Jun glared at Zhang Chen fiercely, then reluctantly took out eight spirit stones and handed them to the young man who was responsible for the challenge.

"Zheng Xuan is at the first level of Qi Condensation, and Zhang Chen is at the first level of Qi Condensation. Their cultivation levels are the same, which meets the requirements. The challenge is allowed."

Challenge Rules

"No killing"

“No intentional disability allowed”

“3. Do not respond passively to challenges”

"If one party admits defeat, the other party is not allowed to continue attacking"

The young man put away the spirit stone and spoke loudly to everyone.

"Both sides heard it clearly."

After these responsible brothers finished speaking, they looked at Zhang Chen and Zheng Xuan.

"I heard it clearly"

"I heard it clearly"

They both answered at the same time.

"Okay, then get on the competition stage and get ready to start."

After the young man finished speaking, he jumped up and stood on the edge of the platform, waiting for the two people.

"Junior Brother Zhang, I'm sorry." Zheng Xuan bowed to Zhang Chen and walked up to the platform.

Zhang Chen didn't think much about it and walked to the other side.

When Lu Jun and the other two passed by, they all looked at Zhang Chen with vicious expressions, especially Lu Jun. Having paid such a huge price, he was now completely venting his anger. He just wanted to see Zhang Chen being beaten and crying, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.
