In the arena, as Xiao Tian, Hu Jie, and two random contestants finished their matches, the disciple from the Celestial Master's Manor, who was overseeing the Luotian Grand Jiao, announced the start of the competition.
" Hu Jie, let's join forces. This Xiao Tian is said to be a disciple of the Celestial Master's Manor, a student of the Old Celestial Master," the bald passerby suggested.
"I think it's great! It's perfect!"
Hu Jie glanced at the two extras with a disdainful expression, and suddenly, like a tiger pouncing on its prey, he grabbed extra A by the neck, intending to kill him and absorb the Qi from his body to nourish himself.
In an instant, Hu Jie felt an overwhelming pressure envelop him, causing his blood and qi to freeze and stagnate, making him feel terrified and his soul tremble, as if he were being watched by the Yanluo Netherworld.
"Hey, didn't they all say they'd team up with you to beat me up? Why did you sneak up on them?"
Xiao Tian walked quickly to Hu Jie's side and forcefully pried Hu Jie's fingers apart.
Hu Jie's mind went blank. For some reason, Xiao Tian's actions had put him under tremendous pressure, making his limbs stiff and unable to receive and complete the instructions from his brain.
"Alright, the three of you, team up."
The extra rubbed his neck, looking like he'd just escaped a disaster, and breathed heavily.
"Daoist Deva Path Tian, I concede defeat."
The extra bowed to Xiao Tian. He knew very well that if Xiao Tian had been a little slower, he might have died at Hu Jie's hands.
Upon seeing this, Extra B decisively admitted defeat, completely convinced of his superiority. He knew he couldn't escape Hu Jie's attack, and Xiao Tian's ability to easily pry open Hu Jie's fingers and save Extra A deeply moved him.
Hu Jie's face was gloomy. Now he was one against one, but Xiao Tian's previous actions had filled him with fear.
In the spectator stands, many people were whispering among themselves.
"As expected of the Old Celestial Master's top disciple. By the way, what's wrong with that Hu Jie? Was he intimidated by the Old Celestial Master's top disciple's domineering aura? He didn't even react when his fingers were forcibly pried open, and his eyes showed fear."
In a certain spot in the spectator stands, Xia He, who had been Yu Huadu Quanxing disguised as a middle-aged man by his ability, couldn't help but recall the day when she, Old Xia, and Shen Chong, the Seed of Calamity, chased after Xiao Tian.
"This time, it's time to settle the score properly, Xiao Tian, you better not be left out."
Beside her, two men stared adoringly at Xia He, who resembled a middle-aged man, their eyes filled with love.
Seed of Calamity Shen Chong, standing beside Xia He Xia He, was utterly speechless at her immense charm.
" Hu Jie, this chess piece, has become useless so quickly."
Shen Chong felt it was a pity, and after having this thought, he quickly dealt with Hu Jie's idea to prevent the Quanxing's actions from being noticed by those self-proclaimed righteous Evolver on Mount Longhu.
" Old Lü, have you figured it out?" In a corner of the spectator stands, Wang Ai, one of the Ten Elders of the Evolver World, leaned on a cane, his eye bags heavy, his eyes deep and unfathomable, making it impossible to discern his inner thoughts.
Lü Ci, one of the Ten Elders, grinned and said in a low voice, "Unassuming, but interesting. However, dealing with an unknown kid is nothing; the important thing is what comes next."
"That's true. Is that Zhang Chulan over there?"
Lü Ci's gaze swept over Xu San, Xu Si, Feng Baobao, before settling on Zhang Chulan.
"Good, let's find an opportunity to meet them."
"Aren't you going to consider the Old Celestial Master's wishes?" Wang Ai frowned.
"What are you afraid of? We're not going to hurt Zhang Chulan."
Xiao Tian resolved the situation easily; Hu Jie was knocked unconscious by a few simple flying kicks from him.
Since there was no Old Celestial Master in the stands, Xiao Tian subtly manipulated Hu Jie's final close-range flying kick, concealing his Mangekyō Sharingan's ability to hide from others. He then cast a Genjutsu on Hu Jie, waiting for the genjutsu to mature and gradually lead Hu Jie into the abyss.
Congratulations, Brother Tian!
"What's there to congratulate? It's not meaningful at all," Xiao Tian said, scoffing.
Next up was Feng Baobao. Her opponent was not affected by the butterfly effect caused by Xiao Tian's time travel. He was a famous figure in the Jinzhou Evolver Inside the Circle who had been beaten up by Feng Baobao and Xu Si and thrown into the sea by Xu Si in a box. He eventually returned to his homeland in the rivers and seas.
Little Peach Garden Group!
The three were so scared they almost peed their pants. They immediately surrendered and fawned over Feng Baobao, trying to curry favor with her.
In the following matches, Zhang Chulan also stepped into the arena. Relying on the prestige and confidence of the Origin of Qi, he remained unmoved and arrogantly outmaneuvered the intelligence of his three opponents, easily advancing without lifting a finger.
The label of "Shameless" has been officially attached to Zhang Chulan by countless people.
" Old Zhang, that's just your true nature, isn't it? Pfft, pfft."
Zhang Chulan, thick-skinned and not embarrassed at all, said, "The best way to get to the finals is to avoid fighting and revealing your trump cards. Brother Tian, this is really tough for me."
At that moment, Zhang Lingyu came towards them.
" Shameless!"
Zhang Lingyu heard about Zhang Chulan from his junior disciples who were of lower seniority.
" Sister Yu, these are just rumors spread by others, they have nothing to do with me."
"You've overturned the heavens, that's quite a powerful statement." Zhang Lingyu glanced at Zhang Chulan, then looked at Xiao Deva Path and said, "Junior brother, my Thunder Method have improved quite a bit. Let's find a place to spar."
"OK."
" Sister Yu, take me with you!" Zhang Chulan's eyes lit up. It would be even better if he could find out Xiao Tian and Zhang Lingyu's true strength.
" Zhang Chulan, you shouldn't have come along."
Zhang Lingyu's cruel rejection deeply saddened Zhang Chulan.
In the mountains, Zhang Lingyu hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help but remind Xiao Tian, "Junior brother, it's best to have less real-life contact with Zhang Chulan in the future."
"Huh? Why?" Xiao Tian was completely confused.
" Zhang Chulan Shameless. Although I didn't witness Zhang Chulan fight firsthand, I'm afraid you'll be influenced by his Shameless nature, Junior Brother."
Xiao Tian's lips twitched, and he spread his hands, saying, "How could that be? Shamelessness is his trait; I can't learn it."
"Well, it's best to stay away from it anyway."
Xiao Tian almost burst out laughing.
Afterwards, Xiao Tian and Zhang Lingyu sparred on Yin Five Thunders. Although Yin Five Thunders is also known as Water Organ Thunder, it is like black gasoline liquid, which is viscous and oily, cold and not solid, and lacks fierce power. However, because of Xiao Tian, Zhang Lingyu refined Yin Five Thunders into a replica of Yang Five Thunders.
Fiery clouds stretched across the horizon as Xiao Tian and Zhang Lingyu sat on the ground, watching the sun set.
"Junior brother, your Thunder Method are quite different, imbued with fierce yang energy. Have you succeeded?"
Xiao Tian was astonished and couldn't help but circulate the Yin Five Thunders again to examine himself internally.
Yin Five Thunders are cultivated through the five Qi of the human body, specifically the Qi of the liver and kidneys among the five internal organs.
Now, Xiao Tian discovered that a golden light membrane had appeared in his heart, transmitting golden energy that interacted with his liver and kidneys, forming a vortex of small yin-yang Tomoe.
"You know what, it seems like I'm actually going to succeed, but I'm still wondering how."
Xiao Tian muttered to himself.
"Why is that?" Zhang Lingyu was very puzzled. She carefully examined the Yin Five Thunders in Xiao Tian's palm and found fine golden threads in it.
Suddenly, Xiao Tian thought of a possibility.
After leaving Mount Longhu, he secretly drank his homemade Martial Soul Beverage Cola, which was very good for his health and could also replenish kidney yin and yang.
Could it be because of this?
" Xiao Yu Yu, I'm going to tell you a big secret, but you absolutely mustn't tell anyone else, okay?"
"Mmm." Zhang Lingyu nodded obediently and quietly.
"Okay, don't say anything, let's drink ten bottles tonight."
Zhang Lingyu was taken aback when she saw Xiao Tian magically produce a beverage that emitted a chill and resembled Cola.
"Shh, this is a magic weapon. Although I don't know why I have it, this secret is between you and me for now, understand?"
"Hmm." Zhang Lingyu was moved. A magical artifact that could store items was extremely rare, and even the Ten Elders would be tempted if they knew about it.
Xiao Tian told him this secret directly, which shows that he has complete trust in him.
And so, Zhang Lingyu drank Cola for an hour straight that night.
Cola, although the Sisi was a bit icy and sweet, it was, after all, Martial Soul drink, unlike the Cola in the city. Xiao Tian's Cola was purely an energy drink and wouldn't contribute to diabetes. However!
Zhang Lingyu's stomach, which had never been used to exercise, was upset because he drank too much iced Cola, and he had diarrhea all night.
"Ding! Hidden achievement completed! Successfully made Zhang Lingyu have diarrhea! Achievement Points *1! Unlock progress 9%!"
The next morning, Zhang Lingyu took a nap and managed to get enough rest.
Zhang Lingyu was very happy. Although he had diarrhea all night, he felt as if his body was undergoing a transformation. The amount and strength of his Qi changed significantly overnight.
Moreover, Zhang Lingyu carefully discovered that by observing his internal organs, he could see a golden Qi growing in the heart area, merging with the Qi of the liver and kidneys.
His Yin Five Thunders are also beginning to change. Although there doesn't seem to be much change, he may be able to switch between Yin-Yang Five Thunders at will in the future, greatly increasing the power of his Thunder Method.
At this moment, Xiao Tian was blocking a young Daoist priest on the mountain road.
"Junior Uncle, this is for Master Tian, don't try to take it."
The young Daoist priest turned around and carefully protected the white porridge, side dishes, boiled eggs, and beef on the wooden plate.
" Xiao Yuzi, you can always make another trip. Your Junior Uncle Zhang Lingyu had diarrhea all night and is very Weaken now. He urgently needs to eat something to nourish himself. Anyway, it won't matter if Junior Uncle eats a little slower." Xiao Tian Xiao as he stared at the young Daoist priest in front of him.
This young Daoist priest had a pockmarked face and outwardly identified himself as Xiao Yuzi. However, as a transmigrator, Xiao Tian knew that this dwarf was actually Gong Qing, the Quanxing leader of the Quanxing Sect, who had been lurking in Mount Longhu for many years.
"Junior Uncle, no, Master is also very hungry now." Xiao Yuzi tried to go around, but was constantly blocked by Xiao Tian.
"Hurry up. If you had this much time to waste on me, you could have already gotten your martial uncle an extra breakfast."
Xiao Yuzi was speechless for a moment, then handed the wooden tray to Xiao Tian.
"Junior Uncle, you're right, alright."
Watching Xiao Yuzi walk away, Xiao Tian felt a secret sense of satisfaction.
"Ding! Making things difficult for Gong Qing Quanxing! Achievement Points *1! Unsealing progress 9.5%!"
"Hehehe, I can't handle you!"
Xiao Tian wasn't in a hurry to get rid of Gong Qing; there was still plenty of time.
Afterwards, Xiao Tian delivered breakfast to Zhang Lingyu and then went to find Zhang Chulan, the Shameless.
Wherever Zhang Chulan went, he was met with a barrage of insults, such as " Shameless!"
" Old Zhang is good. I'll get a title for myself later."
" Brother Tian, let's not go. If I didn't avoid going out at night, I'm afraid I'd get ganged up on," Zhang Chulan said, still shaken.
"Don't worry, who else would be called Shameless like you? That's a nickname reserved for you." Xiao Tian chuckled.
"Damn it! I threw up." Zhang Chulan facepalmed.
