C6 Difficult to Find an Opponent

As soon as he returned to the sect, Lau Yu found that the school square was packed with people. He found out immediately that the person who signed up to participate in the outer sect disciple competition.

The Darknorth Continent alone was filled with a few thousand outer court disciples, close to ten thousand of them, but the inner court disciples were only a few hundred, the core disciples were even fewer than a few dozen, and above them were the elders.

Lau Yu had no intention of participating in the competition for the outer sect disciples. Thus, he lowered his head and walked towards his own residence. However, a shadow quickly appeared in front of Lau Yu, blocking his path.

Lau Yu raised his head. It was Qi Tian, the guy who was lingering around like a ghost, that had once again appeared in front of Lau Yu. And looking at Lau Yu's energetic appearance, it was obvious that he had a new breakthrough.

Lau Yu's mind was like lightning. He knew that he was far from being Qi Tian's match at this moment. And seeing that Qi Tian was trying to stop him, it was obvious that he wanted to take care of him again.

Moments later, Lau Yu made his decision. He came to the registration office in front of deacon and said: "I want to apply."

deacon did not have much of a reaction. He lowered his head and asked:

"Name, gender."

"Lau Yu, male."

When the others saw that Lau Yu had signed up, they started to discuss among themselves. After all, Lau Yu was quite famous among the outer disciples.

"Look, that's Qi Tian, no wonder Lau Yu ran over here. He was hiding from Qi Tian." Someone noticed Qi Tian and couldn't help but to ask.

Seeing Lau Yu run over to register, Qi Tian was first surprised, then delighted. Then, he left with his two lackeys. Lau Yu also couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. He had made the right bet.

"Young Master?" "Why don't we take care of Lau Yu? Didn't you say that it was difficult for us to relax today, so we must ruthlessly take care of Lau Yu?" Qi Tian's servant asked in a fawning tone.

Qi Tian was not angry at all. Instead, he said happily, "I am only happy when I beat him up to a pulp in the ring. If I beat him up to a pulp right now, who would know him in the ring? "Haha."

Moreover, if an accident happens on the arena and he kills his opponent, he won't be expelled from the sect, Qi Tian said to himself in his heart.

"Young Master is wise."

Lau Yu was also anticipating such an outcome. He was worried about whether Qi Tian was still not willing to give up, or if Qi Tian was going to beat him up. What should he do?

He continued to act like he was a second stage Martial Disciple, wagging his tail in pity, or was he trying to resist and get beaten up to the point that his skin was not covered? These two were not what Lau Yu wanted.

In the end, Lau Yu chose to take a gamble, betting on the vanity of Qi Tian. In the end, Lau Yu was right, Qi Tian really gave up on attacking Lau Yu.

Lau Yu felt relieved, but at the same time, he became even more alert. What he planned to do next was to improve his cultivation as much as possible, so that he wouldn't be unable to fight back when they meet Qi Tian.

"Lau Yu, why did you participate in the outer sect disciple competition? You're just taking your life as a joke. In the competition, if Liu Tie used some tricks to deal with you, even if you die, he might not be punished." Lau Yu met Liu Qing on the way home, Liu Qing said anxiously.

"Don't worry." Giving Liu Qing a reassured look, Lau Yu then said, "I won't do anything that I'm not confident of. If there's really danger, I will admit defeat. Do you think I'm someone who would joke around with his own life?"

Even though he was worried, Liu Qing still said goodbye to Lau Yu. He felt that he should work even harder now.

After bidding Liu Qing farewell, Lau Yu became more diligent in his training, because he knew that while he was improving, other people would not be able to remain the same, especially after he reached the second stage of Martial Disciple and had no progress. It was equivalent to wasting a few years of time, so he should make up for it now.

…

Time flew by and half a month had passed. Today was a very important day for all the outer sect disciples, and that was the day of the outer sect disciple competition.

At this moment, the plaza was not something that the sparse and sparse outer court disciples could compare to. At this moment, the plaza was densely packed with people. Although most of them were just here to watch the show, only three to two hundred people were participating in the competition, it was quite a spectacular sight.

The duels were presided over by the two elders. Soon, the participants were gathered at the bottom of the ring. The first thing they did was to draw lots.

Lau Yu was probably in the middle when he drew number fifty-three. After drawing the lot, Qi Tian suddenly snatched Lau Yu's number plate and then returned it to Lau Yu, causing Lau Yu to be confused.

However, Qi Tian's next sentence was: "You will win." This made Lau Yu even more confused. Why did he say that he would definitely win? Did he finally know his true strength?

No matter how Lau Yu thought, the competition was still held as usual, and quite a few of them had reached the ninth stage Martial Disciple, not far from reaching the Martial Scholar Stage and becoming an inner sect disciple. Now that they were here, it was clear that they wanted to go all out, see if they could obtain the first place of the Hundred Herbs Pill, and make preparations to enter the inner sect.

"Next match, Lau Yu, Du Kainan."

Hearing his name being called, Lau Yu followed him onto the stage. Du Kangnan, Lau Yu's opponent, also came up to the stage unhurriedly. However, his eyes were filled with sympathy when he looked at Lau Yu.

Lau Yu didn't understand. At this moment, the other side was already preparing to make their move. Lau Yu hurriedly put up a defensive posture, but the following situation was a bit baffling.

He saw Lau Yu's opponent suddenly fall to the ground as if he had been possessed by an evil spirit. Then, he bared his fangs and brandished his claws. It's fine now. He crawled up and said to Lau Yu: "I'm not his opponent. I admit defeat." A disciple of the sixth stage of Martial Disciple admitted defeat just like that, leaving Lau Yu dumbstruck.

However, looking at the inexplicable smile on the corner of Lau Yu's mouth and thinking that Qi Tian said that he would definitely win, Lau Yu had a faint guess and he was even certain that it was all because of Qi Tian.

Of course, it was not Qi Tian's kind intention to let Lau Yu get a spot. Lau Yu was very clear on this point, it was also possible that Qi Tian wanted to teach him a lesson in the arena and even kill him.

However, in order to deal with him, there was no need to pay such a huge price. Lau Yu thought in his heart, after all, if he was really the second stage Martial Disciple that he imagined, it would be possible for him to face a seeded participant in at least the last few rounds.

Sure enough, Lau Yu won the following matches for no reason. Some people were too lazy to continue pretending and just admitted defeat. This made Lau Yu a bit angry and helpless.

"This Qi Tian is kind of weird." In the judging area, the two elders' yellow-clothed elders couldn't stand watching on and spoke in anger.

"I think that's good. He shouldn't be making a fool of himself on this stage without talent. It's said that he's always been at the second stage Martial Disciple. He's destined to be expelled." The other blue-clothed elder was clearly closer to Qi Tian.

After hearing the elder's words, the elder who was a bit unsatisfied for Lau Yu decisively gave up on his unfairness for Lau Yu because there was no point in doing so. It was not worth it to vent his anger for a person who was only a Second Rank Martial Disciple.

Seeing his opponents admit defeat one by one at the hands of Qi Tian, Lau Yu thought in his heart, "Could it be that Qi Tian is really able to cover the sky with one hand in the outer court?" I don't believe it!

"Next match, Dongfaang Xiang, Lau Yu."

He was just about to see how his opponent would pretend that he couldn't beat him, but who knew, this person opened his mouth and said, "I'm not invited by Qi Tian, he can't even hire me. If his brother asks me for help, maybe I'll even consider it."

When Lau Yu heard that, he was startled and thought to himself, I can finally have a real battle. Even if I lose, I am willing to do it.

"You can't be distracted in battle, I am a peak eighth stage Martial Disciple, you better be careful." Dongfaang Xiang reminded him kindly.

However, he only had one set of Tiger Subduing Fist to practice, so there was no point in switching to other cultivation techniques. This was because other than his own luck, or the cultivation techniques given by his family, the level of the outer sect disciples' cultivation techniques were all about the same.

Although Lau Yu's cultivation speed had become faster and faster after the Inner Core of Heaven Devouring Beast improved its physique, he was still unable to catch up to them in a short time, barely reaching the peak of Martial Disciple's Seventh Grade.

Dongfaang Xiang had one advantage, which was that he wouldn't have any thoughts of looking down on his opponents, even if his opponent was the forever second stage Martial Disciple, Lau Yu.

After a probing attack, the two of them separated the moment they touched. However, they understood each other's strength. Lau Yu took three steps back while Dongfaang Xiang did not take a single step back.

"Several groups, they actually already possess the strength of a Grade Eight Martial Disciple, and not just that, but also someone who has just entered the level eight Martial Disciple." After the two palms were separated, Dongfaang Xiang's words gave everyone a shock. The crowd below the stage was in an uproar. They obviously couldn't accept that Lau Yu, who had always been below them, was actually stronger than them.

Lau Yu, however, was not happy or sad for everyone's reaction. Instead, he thought about why he was only at Martial Disciple's Seventh Grade, but Dongfaang Xiang said that he had reached the eighth stage of Martial Disciple.

What is the characteristic of the realm of Martial Disciple? Lau Yu thought, isn't the characteristic of the realm of Martial Disciple a power accumulation? It was because of this that even if a Martial Master did not observe carefully, he would not be able to see a Martial Disciple's strength, because strength was inherent.

If that was the case, then his actual strength had already reached the eighth stage of Martial Disciple. However, he was still a real person, and could only train his physical body to the meridians, not the bones, and not the heart and other organs that could only be cultivated to the ninth stage of Martial Disciple.

It was just that the inner pellet of the Heaven Devouring Beast had improved his physique, allowing him to absorb more spirit energy for the breakthrough and increase the strength of his body.

After thinking all of this through, Lau Yu was overjoyed. This did not mean that the dantian he could open up was bigger than others', the energy he could store would be more than others', and the power would also be greater than others'.

After thinking through all of this, Lau Yu did not retort Dongfaang Xiang's words. Let everyone think that he had really broken through to the eighth stage of Martial Disciple.

Dongfaang Xiang looked at Lau Yu and said: "You really did not disappoint me. However, I am not an ordinary eighth grade Martial Disciple. Watch my middle grade martial skill, Wind and Thunder Palm."

The palm had yet to reach him, but the wind was already blowing. Thunder and lightning were accompanying him, and his aura was extraordinary. Lau Yu reckoned that his attack power had reached the level of an ordinary ninth stage Martial Disciple.

Lau Yu did not dodge nor did he dodge. After all, his opponent had a mid-rank martial skill. Because the Wind and Thunder Palm inherited the speed of the wind and the berserk speed of the lightning, the price for dodging would be much greater.

Cloud Hand!

Lau Yu only knew Cloud Hand. At this moment, he reflexively used Cloud Hand that he had practiced countless times.

Lau Yu's Cloud Hand could only use one palm to transform into a real one, but now, under pressure, it had turned into a real one with both palms.

"This is, this is the Mastery Stage, Cloud Hand. No, even the Mastery Stage cannot reach this stage, this is after comprehending the Cloud Hand's Concept and raising the power of the martial skill. This lower Huang grade martial skill is faster than a middle Huang grade." The yellow-clothed elder exclaimed.

The other elder in blue clothes was also secretly surprised. However, he had lost face because of Lau Yu's misjudgment earlier. He naturally did not have a good face towards Lau Yu and muttered: "This Lau Yu is just lucky."

Even though Dongfaang Xiang's palms were fast enough, Lau Yu's four palms that turned from virtual to real were not slow either. Two of the hands were in front to block Dongfaang Xiang's attack while the other two palms were broken. However, following this, another two palms came forward to block the incoming palm attack.

"You win." Dongfaang Xiang said.

However, Lau Yu was furious, and questioned back: "Didn't you say that you were dragged by Qi Tian? How can you admit defeat now that the victor has not been decided? "

Dongfaang Xiang did not care at all and said: "My Thundering Wind Palm is my most powerful martial skill, and it is also the most powerful offensive martial skill. Since you can take it head-on, then I will naturally be no match for you.

It turned out that Dongfaang Xiang wanted to help him so that he could continue to be at his best in order to face the competition. Lau Yu then realized the reason, it turned out that Dongfaang Xiang wanted to help him so that he could continue to be at his best in order to face the competition. The more Lau Yu said, the more embarrassed he felt.

"I'm fine, but you have to be careful of Qi Tian. Although I don't find him pleasing to the eye, his talent in cultivation is not just for show, I suspect that he has already reached the realm of a ninth stage Martial Disciple. With the martial skill that his family specially prepared for him, even a ninth stage Martial Disciple would rarely have a rival." Dongfaang Xiang smiled. Not only was he not angry, he even reminded him kindly, which moved Lau Yu.
