Nobody Would Want It Even for Free
The following day, with the Devil Race's involvement, the arena battle became even more intense.
Due to special circumstances, the Demon Lord was placed next to the Azure Cloud Sect, and Azure Cloud Master also used the power of the formation to separate their auras.
As for the leader of the Devil Race, it remains Gudoer.
However, Gudoer seemed to completely ignore the situation, letting those little Demon Lord do as they pleased. They could fight if Demon Lord wanted to, and Gudoer didn't care if they didn't.
As for the other sects, after the agreement was reached, those who went on stage for the final battle became much more proactive.
Many sects even actively challenged one of the Demon Race, Ghost Clan, or Devil Races.
Seeing this scene, the Sage Master suddenly had a deeper understanding of "rules": they had set a rule last night, which was why the subsequent arena matches were going so smoothly!
Rule!
At this moment, he had a sudden realization about "rules": for a rule to work, it must of course conform to the interests of the vast majority of people!
To establish a life for the people!
Not all the people, but the vast majority of the people!
More importantly, if we're going to set rules, we should dare to be pioneers!
At this moment, the Sage Master's Sage Dao has become one step more complete!
As the Sage Master's Sage Dao grew stronger, he himself became increasingly inconspicuous.
There was neither an outpouring of Vast Righteous Qi nor a display of extraordinary celestial phenomena; instead, it became increasingly "ordinary"!
Only Azure Cloud Master, who was also World-Opener, sensed this situation and couldn't help but look in the direction of the Sage Master.
However, at this moment, the Sage Master was in no condition and therefore could not discern anything.
As for the others, they felt nothing at all, not even Youfeng and Gudoer.
On the second day of the tournament, a total of twenty matches were fought.
Because the Ghost Realm only has ten little ghosts, the Demon Realm only has five little Demon Lord, and the Demon Race only has five little demons, they can only fight that many battles each day.
As for internal conflicts between sects, there's really no need for that!
The result of twenty Arena Battles was a complete defeat!
Some even suffered a crushing defeat!
Aside from not being in mortal danger, some geniuses even suffer permanent injuries, the possibility of which is uncertain.
Through twenty battles, the group gained a better understanding of the fighting characteristics of the Ghost Realm, the Devil Race, and the Demon Race.
On the third day, another twenty battles ensued!
Without a doubt, it was a complete defeat!
After three consecutive days of defeat, the Immortal Cultivation Realm were instead spurred on by the loss.
They went one after another, determined to gain some advantage over the Ghost Realm, the Devil Race, and the Demon Race, no matter what.
Even if we lose, we must give future talents a chance.
This fighting spirit was quickly sensed by the Sage Master and Zhang Changshan.
"The will to fight is incomparably great!" Zhang Changshan exclaimed, his understanding of the Struggle Will reaching a new level.
The Sage Master, combining his understanding of the Sage Dao with the fighting spirit he learned from Zhang Changshan, created a Cultivation Method: the Struggle Character Art!
After imparting the entire contents of the Struggle Character Art to Kong Xiuping, he solemnly said, "There are very few people left from the Langya Sacred Land to fight. Next, I'm afraid you will be needed to fight. You should carefully comprehend the Struggle Character Art; it may become one of your methods."
This conflict with the Ghost Realm has far-reaching implications, so when you go into battle, you must only win!
Kong Xiuping replied very seriously, "Father, I will definitely win!"
He had witnessed everything that had happened over the past few days and knew the immense price others had paid for his victory.
Therefore, he absolutely cannot let down the efforts of others.
Afterward, he began to study the Struggle Character Art.
After all, it was his father who personally taught him, and coupled with his own exceptional talent, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to learn the Suppressing Character Art, the Binding Character Art, the Anger Character Art, and so on. Therefore, he quickly learned the Struggle Character Art as well.
Of course, he has learned it, but he is still far from fully understanding it.
Thinking about the upcoming battle with the Ghost Realm, he pondered for a long time before going to the Azure Cloud Sect to find Zhang Yang.
In Kong Xiuping's view, this was not just a personal matter, but involved the struggle between the Immortal Cultivation Realm and the Ghost Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Demon Race. It had gone beyond his personal victory or defeat, so naturally he should use all available resources.
Although his father was able to teach him various Supreme Lore, when it came to actual combat, it was during his time at the Azure Cloud Sect that he actually developed the most.
He was training those Azure Cloud Sect disciples, but weren't those Azure Cloud Sect disciples also "training" him?
As for Zhang Yang, he believed he was more proficient in combat, so seeking Zhang Yang's advice might offer other insights.
"Brother Zhang, will you participate in the battle?" Kong Xiuping asked earnestly.
Zhang Yang countered, "Is there a problem?"
Kong Xiuping's expression turned serious. He stared into Zhang Yang's eyes and said, "I'm very likely to be fighting the Ghost Clan, and even the Devil Race and Demon Race. I'd like to ask if you have any good ideas? If you were facing them, how would you deal with them?"
Zhang Yang took out the Soul-Suppressing Banner and gestured to Kong Xiuping: "You should know what this is, right?"
The implication was that with Supreme-Grade Spirit Artifact, why would I worry about dealing with them?
Kong Xiuping was speechless for a moment.
People from such a large and powerful family are truly different!
He gritted his teeth secretly and said, "If you have a good idea, please give me some pointers. As long as I can win... I can continue sparring with you for another six months!"
He even sold himself out...
Moreover, he can also hone his skills by training Azure Cloud Sect disciples.
"No need," Zhang Yang refused. "You're so busy; I already feel bad about taking up half a year of your time."
That's a joke. He's already completely drained Kong Xiuping's fighting strength. Continuing to train him won't benefit the Azure Cloud Sect disciples much.
What is the meaning of repetitive training?
Besides, Leng Qingfeng and Ling Xu are already lining up to be sparring partners, so what's the point of having Kong Xiuping?
Kong Xiuping was dumbfounded. He didn't even want the offer to be his sparring partner?
What kind of world is this?
"I just learned the Struggle Character Art' from my father, and I can share it with you," Kong Xiuping said through gritted teeth again.
Anyway, his father didn't ask for secrecy, so a different chance of winning wouldn't be bad.
Zhang Yang glanced sideways at Kong Xiuping, thinking to himself, "Do I need you to share my knowledge of the Struggle Character Art? Do you even know what kind of relationship I have with your father?"
"Alright then, I sense you really want to defeat those people from the Ghost Realm and the Demon Realm," Zhang Yang changed his approach. "I can share some methods with you, but if you win, you have to share half the spoils with me."
He can gain benefits while avoiding revealing his identity—what a great deal!
Kong Xiuping hesitated.
The treasures of the Ghost Realm and the Demon Realm were too important for him to decide.
Zhang Yang looked behind Kong Xiuping and asked, "Uncle Sage Master, what do you think?"
Kong Xiuping hurriedly turned around, only to find that his father's Divine Sense was following him, something he hadn't even noticed...
The Sage Master was somewhat surprised by the strength of Zhang Yang's Divine Soul, which was able to detect his Divine Sense.
But since he had discovered it, he simply replied, "Sure!"
How could the Sage Master not take notice of his son's late-night visit to the Azure Cloud Sect instead of studying the Struggle Character Art?
He had initially thought his son had made something of himself and was going to find Situ Mingyue, but it turned out he was going to Zhang Yang to ask for a way to defeat him?
Although he was somewhat disappointed, he felt gratified by his son's fighting spirit.
Naturally, he agreed.
