Chapter 21 - Another Victory

Chapter 21 Another Victory

Li Mumin had also seen the description of the Mad Blood Saber Technique in the Technique Exchange Pavilion. When he heard that Zhang Chen was using this saber technique, he could not help but frown.

He could not understand why the bold and resourceful Zhang Chen would choose such a technique that would cause endless trouble in the future.

The effect of the Mad Blood Blade Technique did not disappoint Zhang Chen. However, when he saw Xu Zihua’s internal organs exposed in the air, he felt a little nauseous.

Immortal cultivators had tenacious vitality. Even if their stomachs were cut open, they would not die easily. Xu Zihua was only seriously injured and unconscious.

Li Mumin went on stage expressionlessly and announced, “Zhang Chen wins!”

Zhang Chen suppressed the nauseating feeling, saluted the crowd, and then jumped off the stage.

As for Xu Zihua, he was fed a medicinal pill and carried away for treatment.

“The 33rd round…”

The competition continued.

“Congratulations to Senior Brother Zhang for winning.” The outer sect disciples around him congratulated Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen, who had yet to recover from the nausea, could only force a smile in response.

In the distance, Lu Wenyu looked at the cheerful Zhang Chen with an unpleasant expression.

Previously, when he was exchanging for demon blood in the beast park, he had wanted to take advantage by exchanging a small amount of blood essence for a large amount of demon blood. He did not expect to meet Zhang Chen, the spokesperson for blood exchange.

In order to prevent this matter from spreading, he had no choice but to lower himself and spend more blood essence to exchange for demon blood from Zhang Chen.

After the whole process, he ended up spending more demon blood instead.

He had been holding a grudge about this, but due to the rules of the sect and Li Muming behind Zhang Chen, he had not retaliated.

Unexpectedly, in just two years, Zhang Chen was already at the seventh level of Qi Refinement, and Li Mumin was at the Foundation Establishment realm.

Looking at the two of them, Lu Wenyu became even more resentful. The reason why your cultivation improved so quickly might be because you devoured my blood essence, he thought.

However, it’s good that he became an inner sect disciple. Inner sect disciples have to go out to capture demon beasts. Once he leaves the sect, I will have a chance to take revenge. Thinking of this, Lu Wenyu showed a sinister smile.

After a while, Zhang Chen recovered and was no longer nauseous. He refocused his attention on the arena.

One after another, the disciples went up to the stage, either advancing or being eliminated.

Outer sect disciples had single techniques and did not have much battle experience. It basically depended on who attacked first and whose technique was more powerful.

Some people were so nervous that they were at a loss and couldn’t even activate their techniques.

After the baptism of a battle, the more Zhang Chen looked at it, the more bored he felt.

If it weren’t for wanting to know oneself and the enemy, to understand more techniques, he would have wanted to go back to practice.

The competition lasted until dusk and a total of 100 disciples were eliminated.

The onlookers were still not satisfied and reluctantly went back.

The next afternoon, it was Zhang Chen’s turn again.

“210th match, Zhang Chen versus Kong Qingsen.”

This time, Zhang Chen was not nervous.

Instead, he was full of fighting spirit. As long as he won this round, he could be promoted to an inner sect disciple.

However, when he saw his opponent, Zhang Chen’s expression became somewhat serious. This was because the opponent was at the eighth level of Qi Refinement!

Although Zhang Chen was still confident of winning, he might have to expose his other techniques.

The other party had a confident smile on his face. Clearly, he did not take Zhang Chen seriously.

“The match begins!”

As soon as Li Mumin finished speaking, Zhang Chen and his opponent moved almost simultaneously.

Just like in the previous battle, Zhang Chen rushed towards the other party, his blood condensing into a saber in his hand. Kong Qingsen formed a hand seal, and a spiritual light flashed on his body as he quickly moved backwards.

The speed at which he retreated was even faster than Zhang Chen’s running speed.

“I know that Senior Brother Kong is using the Light Body Technique to make his body as light as a swallow. Although Zhang Chen’s saber technique is strange, he will definitely lose if he can’t get close!”

“Zhang Chen will definitely lose. Not only is Senior Brother Kong at the eighth level of Qi Refinement, but he has also participated in two inner sect competitions. He’s very experienced.”

“By the way, I remember that Senior Brother Kong used the Fire Condensation Technique in last year’s competition.”

As the audience discussed below the stage, Kong Qingsen made another hand seal, and a fireball appeared out of thin air.

The fireball was as big as a head and had a stunning momentum. Zhang Chen could feel the scorching heat emanating from the fireball even from afar.

“Go!” Kong Qingsen pointed, and the fireball flew towards Zhang Chen.

The speed of the fireball was not fast, and Zhang Chen easily dodged it by sidestepping.

“Boom!”

The fireball landed on the ground and exploded like a grenade, scattering flames everywhere. Zhang Chen did not expect the fireball to explode. His clothes were burned by the sputtering flames.

Meanwhile, Kong Qingsen took the opportunity to widen the distance between them again. It was obvious that he intended to use long-range methods to wear down Zhang Chen.

At this point, they were 30 meters apart.

It seems I have to reveal my second spell, but I cannot reveal it directly. I need to choose a moment, Zhang Chen thought helplessly and continued to approach Kong Qingsen. Kong Qingsen was still standing on the same spot, making complicated hand seals. A smug smile appeared on his face, as if he felt that the outcome was already decided. As he finished the incantation, a large fire cloud appeared above his head, almost covering the arena and distorting the air due to its high temperature.

“Senior Brother Kong is going to use the most extensive range of the Fire Condensation Technique, Fire Rain. Zhang Chen can’t possibly dodge it. He’s doomed to lose!” The crowd watching exclaimed in amazement. At this point, Zhang Chen was only 20 meters away from Kong Qingsen.

“Fall!”

As Kong Qingsen pointed at the sky, the fire cloud turned into a fire rain, and flames fell from the sky.

In an instant, the entire arena was covered in flames, as if in a sea of fire.

“I can finally advance to the inner sect!”

After using this move, Kong Qingsen’s aura weakened significantly. It was obvious that he had consumed a lot of energy, but he was very calm and confident.

Zhang Chen was only 10 meters away from him. Based on Zhang Chen’s performance, he could only take one more step before being overwhelmed by the fire rain. “Zhang Chen is going to lose!” Almost everyone could imagine the scene of Zhang Chen being engulfed by the fire rain. Li Mumin on the spectator stand was also sighing, Zhang Chen was very unlucky to encounter an eighth level Qi-training cultivator who had participated in several major competitions.

Just as everyone thought that Zhang Chen was about to lose, he used the Blood Burst Technique!

He stimulated the meridians in his feet with his spiritual energy, and his figure instantly increased tenfold, leaving a residual image in place. Then the residual image was engulfed by the fire rain.

With a loud bang, flames soared into the sky.

Kong Qingsen’s smile was illuminated by the firelight, but it immediately turned stiff, and his eyes were full of shock, incomprehension, and panic.

This was because Zhang Chen appeared in front of him and slashed down. Mad Blood Saber Technique! The frenzied and violent aura of the saber technique attacked Kong Qingsen’s consciousness, giving him a splitting headache and making him unable to do anything.

“Thud…”

“Splurt!”

“Huh? What happened?” The crowd looked confused and didn’t react at all. To their surprise, Zhang Chen, who should have been in the middle of the fire rain, was unscathed and appeared where Kong Qingsen was.

Kong Qingsen lay in a pool of blood, barely breathing.

“Oh! Interesting. Not only did he cultivate the Mad Blood Saber Technique, but he also cultivated the Blood Burst Technique.” The direct disciples were amazed.

Li Mumin smiled and appeared in the arena.

“Zhang Chen wins!”
