Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

As everyone put down their glasses, Zhong Yueqiu and Pei Xiu approached, toasting Lu En together. They then introduced themselves to the young Jindan cultivators before them. Immortal cultivators have excellent memories, and once introduced, they almost always remember them. After a few drinks, everyone became familiar with each other.

Then Lu En, along with Liu Xing, Zhong Yueqiu, and Pei Xiu, went over to toast in groups. Liu Xing silently memorized everyone's appearance, name, cultivation level, and responsibilities. This was from his experience in a previous life working at a large company. Remembering people's names can improve your impression of them by at least 30% in the future.

During the entire toasting process, Liu Xing had no prejudice against anyone because he was not familiar with everyone. His eyes were full of curiosity and expectation. He also had a good appearance and an elegant scholarly temperament, and his humble attitude left a very good first impression on people.

Zhong Yueqiu and Pei Xiu were different. Both were veteran Jindan masters. They were well aware of the strengths and backgrounds of everyone else, save for those who had advanced in recent decades. So, despite pretending to treat everyone equally and smiling, they could still discern subtle differences. Jindan cultivators possessed exceptionally keen spiritual awareness, and these subtle differences would reveal their position in the other person's eyes. Consequently, those Jindan masters who had been left out were torn between choosing Liu Xing, the seemingly weakest.

After a full fight, the four of them got to know everyone again and now they are back to square one.

"Junior Brother Liu, although you have just formed your Dan, your true energy is stable and your magic power is profound. I wonder if you are interested in sparring with me?" Pei Xiu finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and prepared to test Liu Xing's strength.

"Great, great! I'd love to see Junior Brother Liu and Senior Brother Pei's skills, too. I'm in for a treat." Zhong Yueqiu smiled, clapping and shouting, as if afraid no one else could hear. She sneered inwardly, thinking, "It's great that Pei Xiu, this impatient guy, is willing to be the first to speak out." Now that everyone has heard, Liu Xing will have no choice but to accept the challenge. Otherwise, he'll be branded a coward, and his reputation will plummet.

At this moment, Lu En's eyes flashed, and he thought that Pei Xiu was asking for trouble, and was going to be a stepping stone for Liu Xing.

Liu Xing glanced at Zhong Yueqiu indifferently. This seemingly delicate woman was actually a deep-minded and malicious person. He mentally labeled her as a bad person. In comparison, Pei Xiu seemed more straightforward and easier to deal with.

Zhong Yueqiu's shout immediately attracted the attention of others. Hearing that the two candidates were going to compete, they immediately became excited and looked over. They were worried that they couldn't figure out Liu Xing's background and didn't know which side to stand on.

"Don't worry, Junior Brother Liu. I'll be careful not to hurt you. I know I'm bullying you, but I just wanted to test your strength. I have no ill intentions." Although Pei Xiu didn't like Zhong Yueqiu's noisy and divisive behavior, he didn't care. He sincerely wanted to understand Liu Xing's strength. Seeing that Liu Xing had been silent for a long time, he thought that he didn't dare to fight.

Liu Xing's mind changed. He was worried that he couldn't find an excuse to establish his authority and make the Jindan masters present favor him. Now that Pei Xiu jumped out, it was exactly what he wanted.

The members of the special forces sneered in their hearts. Pei Xiu was going to suffer a great loss this time. Junior Brother Liu, who was in the late foundation building stage, killed the Blood Demon King, who was in the late Jindan stage. Now he has advanced to the Jindan stage and his strength is unfathomable. He really brought this upon himself. They were all waiting to see the show.

"Since Senior Brother Pei has invited me, I naturally dare not refuse. Just give it my all, Senior Brother!" Liu Xing responded loudly, as if to cheer himself up.

"Haha, junior brother is really brave. I admire you!" Pei Xiu smiled slightly and praised Liu Xing.

Everyone picked up their glasses and gathered around the stage. Liu Xing and Pei Xiu stood on either side of the stage, staring at each other without making a move.

"Junior Brother Liu, you and I are just sparring, it's not appropriate to fight with swords, so we won't use any magic weapons. I am two realms higher than you, which gives me a great advantage. I will stand still. If you can make me move a step, I will lose." Pei Xiu's attitude of always considering Liu Xing immediately made everyone in the audience feel very good about him, and really made his presence felt.

"Brother Pei, I would be grateful for your kindness." Liu Xing did not argue, but agreed readily. All the fancy tricks were useless and could not withstand a blow in the face of real strength.

Liu Xing activated the "Evil Attracting Technique," and suddenly a terrifying malevolent aura surged into the sky. This aura wasn't just directed at Pei Xiu, but also at Zhong Yueqiu, one on stage and the other offstage. Both were horrified. It took a ruthless demon with countless lives to amass such a potent malevolent aura. They had underestimated this junior brother Liu. Pei Xiu, on guard, quickly composed himself. Zhong Yueqiu, caught off guard, unconsciously took two steps back, her face flushing crimson. Fortunately, no one was paying attention, or she would have been utterly humiliated.

"Brother Pei, be careful!" Liu Xing shouted and punched Pei Xiu.

The fist, condensed with ninety percent of Liu Xing's magical power, combined with the immense strength of his physical body, instantly distorted the air. Everyone outside the arena was horrified, their breath suffocating. Masters above the late Jindan stage wore solemn expressions, silently pondering their own strategies for escaping the blow. Masters below the late Jindan stage, faced with despair, as if this punch would surely shatter them into pieces and kill them.

Pei Xiu's feelings were most immediate. Although Liu Xing was exerting his power from a distance of thirty meters, he already sensed the immense threat. He secretly resented himself for underestimating this Junior Brother Liu. This left him no room for reserve. He roared, summoning 120% of his magical power and delivering a mighty punch.

In an instant, the two fists collided in the air, and a huge air wave burst out.

As soon as Liu Xing threw the punch, Lu En flashed in front of the newly advanced Jindan disciples and quickly raised a shield to block them to prevent them from being injured by the aftermath.

"Ah!" Pei Xiu screamed, his body flew backwards and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Liu Xing reduced his strength at the last moment, so Pei Xiu only vomited blood due to the stimulation of his heart meridian. He only suffered minor injuries, otherwise his arm would have exploded.

At this moment, the audience was so silent that you could hear a pin drop. It took them a long time to recover from the shock.
