Crossing to Douqi Continent and walking sideways

After Xiao Muchen entered Qingshan Sect and became an outer disciple, he was arranged to live in a small and simple wooden house. The house was simply furnished with only a wooden bed and a shabby table, but his mind was not on this simple environment at all, and he was full of longing for the future path of cultivation.

At this time, Xiao Muchen's realm has reached the peak of the Dou Master, and he is only one step away from breaking through to the Grand Dou Master. His Dou Qi is powerful, far surpassing that of the disciples of the same level.

Every morning, when it was just light, Xiao Muchen would get up on time and go to the open space in front of the house to practice the basic exercises of Qingshan Sect. He would sit cross-legged, close his eyes, and make seals with his hands, guiding the fighting spirit in his body to flow along specific meridians. His breathing was even and deep, and every breath seemed to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

As the technique was running, a faint glow of fighting spirit gradually emerged around Xiao Muchen's body, looming. Fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead, but his expression was focused and firm, not affected by the sweat at all.

After practicing the basic skills, Xiao Muchen started to practice fighting skills. He held the Star Sword in his hand, his figure flashed, and the sword shadows flew. Every move and every style contained a powerful force, and the sword wind whistled, stirring up the dust around.

In addition to practicing alone, Xiao Muchen also actively sought advice from his senior brothers and sisters. There was a senior brother named Lu Yun in the outer sect who was enthusiastic and generous, and took good care of Xiao Muchen. Lu Yun was already at the early stage of the Great Fighting Master, and he had rich combat experience, and he often gave Xiao Muchen guidance.

"Junior brother Muchen, your 'Qingshan Sword Technique' has more momentum than agility. You need to feel the flow of fighting spirit in the sword, just like water, and move it as you wish." Lu Yun said as he demonstrated it himself. The sword in his hand was like a spirit snake emerging from a cave, unpredictable.

Xiao Muchen watched intently, trying to comprehend it carefully, and then tried again, and indeed there was obvious progress.

However, the competition among the outer disciples was extremely fierce, and the scarcity of resources often caused the disciples to fight for a little training material. Xiao Muchen's amazing training speed soon aroused the jealousy of some people.

The cultivation pills distributed every month are a resource that the disciples value very much. On this day, Xiao Muchen arrived early at the pill distribution site. When he got his share of pills, a sturdy disciple came over. This person was called Wang Hu, and he was known for his tyranny in the outer sect.

"Boy, hand over half of your pills, and I can let you suffer less in the outer sect." Wang Hu looked at Xiao Muchen with a sidelong glance, his tone arrogant.

Xiao Muchen showed no fear and responded coldly: "This is the elixir I deserve. Why should I give it to you?"

Wang Hu didn't expect that Xiao Muchen would dare to refuse, and his eyes widened with anger: "If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished. Today I will let you know how powerful I, Wang Hu, am!" As he said that, he raised his fist and hit Xiao Muchen.

Xiao Muchen dodged the attack by moving sideways. Wang Hu was even more angry when he missed the attack and continued to attack. Xiao Muchen responded calmly and used his agile body to deal with Wang Hu.

At this time, the area was already surrounded by disciples who came to watch the fun.

"This Xiao Muchen is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. He dares to go against Wang Hu."

"Wang Hu is at the mid-stage of the Fighting Master level, Xiao Muchen might suffer a loss."

Just when the two were fighting hard, Lu Yun arrived in time.

"Stop it!" Lu Yun shouted, emitting a powerful fighting spirit, forcing Wang Hu and Xiao Muchen to stop.

Lu Yun looked at Wang Hu and said, "Wang Hu, you are bullying your junior brother again. The sect rules are strict. Aren't you afraid of being punished?"

Although Wang Hu was dissatisfied in his heart, he did not dare to act presumptuously in front of Lu Yun. He could only glare at Xiao Muchen fiercely and turned away.

Lu Yun turned to Xiao Muchen and said with concern: "Junior Brother Muchen, if you meet such people in the future, avoid them if you can. Don't easily conflict with them, so as not to affect your cultivation."

Xiao Muchen nodded and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Lu Yun. I'll remember that."

After this incident, Xiao Muchen understood more clearly that in this sect, only by constantly improving his strength can he avoid being bullied by others. So, he practiced even harder.

At night, the moon was high in the sky, but Xiao Muchen had no mood to sleep. He sat in front of the window, studying the sect's secret manual in the moonlight, thinking about various problems in his cultivation.

Once, Xiao Muchen encountered a bottleneck when practicing a new fighting skill. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't achieve the desired effect. He was upset and decided to go out for a walk.

Walking on the trail in the back mountain, Xiao Muchen felt the gentle breeze and listened to the chirping of insects and birds, and his mood gradually calmed down. Suddenly, he saw a bamboo forest swaying in the moonlight, and the flexible posture moved his heart.

After returning to his residence, Xiao Muchen tried to practice the fighting skill again. He imitated the flexibility of bamboo and skillfully used his fighting spirit. Finally, the fighting spirit ran smoothly and the fighting skill was able to break through.

One day not long after, the outer sect held a small competition. Xiao Muchen shined in the competition. He used his fighting spirit freely and his fighting skills were superb. He easily defeated many opponents. Even some disciples who were in the early stage of the Great Fighting Master were defeated by him.

His outstanding performance attracted the attention of the outer sect elders. The outer sect elder Zhao Wuji was always known for his strictness. He saw Xiao Muchen's potential and decided to give him a special test.

Elder Zhao Wuji called Xiao Muchen over and said, "Xiao Muchen, I see that you have made great progress in your training recently, but your true strength still needs to be tested in actual combat. I order you to go to the back mountain to hunt a two-headed demon wolf and bring back its demon core."

The two-headed demon wolf is a second-level demon beast, with the strength equivalent to that of a mid-stage great fighter, and is extremely ferocious. But Xiao Muchen took on this task without any hesitation.

He prepared his weapons and elixirs and resolutely walked into the back mountain. Deep in the back mountain, he finally found the two-headed demon wolf. When the demon wolf saw him, it immediately pounced on him with its fangs and claws bared.

Xiao Muchen took a deep breath, displayed his strongest fighting skills, and started a thrilling life-and-death battle with the two-headed demon wolf.
