I am a living immortal.

Faced with the merciless ridicule, another person stood up.

He held a long sword in his hand and bowed, saying, "Haori Immortal Sect, Chongfeng, Shangpin, please teach me."

The young man also responded with a greeting: "I have no sect or school, Li Shu, please teach me."

As soon as they finished speaking, they both moved at the same time.

The two figures collided in mid-air. This high-grade sword was extremely sharp, and sparks of fire were sent flying wherever it passed. These sparks continued to gather during the fight with Li Shu.

The sword's tip swung, and a tiger's roar shook the forest. Sparks ignited into flames, and within the flames, a roaring tiger rushed towards Li Shu like it was descending a mountain.

“Just in time!!”

Facing this attack, Li Shu didn't retreat. Instead, he took a few steps forward. Spiritual energy gathered under his feet, and in just a few steps, he rushed towards the tiger transformed from fire.

The spiritual energy turned into a vortex in his hands and gathered into armor on his body.

They collided with each other with a "bang".

Flames flew, and air currents reversed. Most of the people in the arena couldn't see clearly what was happening, but the person involved was the most clear. Shang Pin's face changed, and he subconsciously wanted to fight back, but how could Li Shu give his opponent a chance at this moment? He was right in front of him in the instant he tore the tiger apart.

Sword versus fist.

The sword bent and was thrown out by a huge gravity.

Now he understood why Senior Brother Zhong's ancient bell had been shattered by the nine punches. There was no fancy technique in that punch, only immense force. The force even bent the sword in his hand. Combined with the immense spiritual energy, he used his physical body to resist the precious weapon.

This is not a human being, but a savage beast.

However, this thought came to an abrupt end after being thrown out, because the person fainted in front of everyone.

There was silence.

The fourth one, each time ending in an extremely fast speed. This was a heavy blow to the chosen ones present. If no one could defeat the other in the arena, the reputation of the Haori Immortal Sect would be completely destroyed.

Where on earth did this young man come from? It's a bit scary.

“Who else!!”

The young man was as arrogant as ever, but with the previous preparations, everyone did not think that he was arrogant, but really felt that he was very powerful.

However, just because people agree with it doesn’t mean they are not angry.

How could the young man bear such a blatant slap in the face? No one who could enter the Haori Immortal Sect considered themselves inferior to others. However, there could be a gap between self-perception and reality.

So when Li Shu brought everyone back to reality with overwhelming force, they were first shocked, then filled with unexpected anger, and Li Shu's arrogance made everyone excited.

Go up and fight!

At that moment, a figure slowly descended from the sky. He glanced at the crowd, and the scene suddenly quieted down. Li Shu looked at the figure, his eyes clearing considerably. This person was very powerful, even without releasing his aura, yet Li Shu still hesitated to act rashly.

This was definitely a crushing defeat; the two sides were not on the same level. However, Li Shu was silent for only a moment before staring back.

This surprised the visitor a little. This young man was extraordinary.

The visitor was none other than the elder of the main peak, one of the Haori Immortal Sect's thirteen peaks. While both the main peak elders and the side peak elders were called elders, their status differed dramatically. The numbers were also telling: there were thirteen main peak elders, while there were three hundred and sixty-five side peak elders. If the side peak elders were the backbone, then the main peak elders were the pinnacle, second only to the headmaster.

So when a main peak elder appeared.

The scene fell completely silent. Being attacked and no one was a match for them made many people bow their heads in shame.

"Don't be discouraged. If you can't beat them, you can't beat them. There's no shame in being inferior to others. You should watch carefully and learn from them."

Then the main peak elder looked at Li Shu and said, "You are very talented, whether it is the use of spiritual energy or the moves you have learned. The truth is, the truth is simple. Very good. Do you want to become my disciple?"

The entire audience was stunned by these words. Elder Xing Lin of Yanwu Peak had stopped accepting disciples four or five hundred years ago. Over the centuries, he had seen countless talented individuals, and countless others had sought to become his disciples, but he had refused them all. Now, he was speaking personally for a young man who hadn't even joined the Haori Immortal Sect. What an honor!

Xing Lin, the elder of Yanwu Peak, was also incredibly powerful, one of the few among the Thirteen Peaks capable of fighting against the Sect Master. Within the vast Haori Immortal Sect, such individuals could be counted on the fingers of one hand.

As for the Martial Arts Peak, it goes without saying that fighting is the norm here, and it goes without saying how important it is.

While the disciples were stunned, Su Mu's expression was odd. He felt a sense of déjà vu about this scene, and then it dawned on him: wasn't this exactly what he'd seen in those immortal cultivation novels from his past life? It was just that the descriptions in the novels had become reality. And then, the next plot was that the protagonist, with his integrity, refused the elders' invitation, shocking everyone once again.

As expected, Li Shu was shocked but refused, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, but I still stick to what I said before. If no one of my peers in the Haori Immortal Sect can defeat me, I will not join the Haori Immortal Sect. Although you are very strong, that is just a time advantage. No one of my peers can defeat me, and this will remain the case as time goes by."

"I can do it myself. It makes no difference to me whether I join a sect or not."

"I refuse the above."

Li Shu did not have no reasons, but he had very good reasons.

Xing Lin thought this made sense. If he could surpass the disciples of these larger sects by practicing and exploring in the mountains, then he should just return to the mountains. Why would he go so far away to join a sect and not have the freedom to do so?

Although it makes sense, everyone feels uncomfortable listening to it.

What does it mean? Just look down on it. It's crazy. It's so fucking crazy.

“Elder, let me…”

Before he could finish his words, Xing Lin stopped him: "Please be patient."

"What you said makes sense, but you have to understand that there are always people better than you. Even if no one in the Haori Immortal Sect can rival you, your natural talent could have pushed you to a higher level. If you miss out, relying solely on talent and self-discovery, you might be able to realize your potential, but it might take a long time."

“This time could have been avoided.”

"Haha, never mind. If you insist on your own way, I'll teach you this principle in your own way. Qi Si, come here!"
