C463 Forceful Challenge!(2)

Typically, pills might cause some instability in one's cultivation level, but they rarely have such a significant impact, let alone adverse effects. Woo Zhengyang's physical training was progressing quickly enough, so he hadn't planned on using the Muscle Transformation Pill. After learning about its hidden risks from Yu Xiaoshui, he passed the pill to Liu Dahu. Even if the pill only provided a temporary boost, it was still valuable for Great Leaf Village.

As for the disciples of Azure Sun Martial Mansion, whether or not they used the Muscle Transformation Pill, reaching the Inner Stage in their twenties was impressive. Achieving it in their teens was beyond extraordinary. This level of progress far surpassed the prodigies from various villages. In some smaller villages, the strongest individuals were only at the Inner Stage, much like the Old Village Chief of Great Leaf Village, who, despite his age, hadn't broken past the Inner Stage. Barring any surprises, he would remain at this level for life.

In contrast, this young prodigy from Azure Sun Martial Mansion accomplished in just fourteen years what many couldn't achieve in a lifetime. With a long journey ahead, his future achievements are unimaginable. In this world, where cultivation starts from a young age, teenagers are already comparable to martial arts masters at the Shape Gathering Stage.

Of course, all of this is closely tied to the vast resources of the Azure Sun Martial Mansion. Woo Zhengyang still doesn't know the full extent of the mansion's power, but even the little that's been revealed surpasses his imagination. It's not just the villages in this world; even the Profound Heaven Sect and the Heavenly Martial Sect might not compare.

Regardless, their skills are right there for everyone to see. No matter how envious you are, you can't just transfer someone else's abilities to yourself. Instead, the gap between them inspires the young people in the villages, driving them to improve themselves as much as possible.

To enhance one's skills, the gravity room is an excellent place for training. If you want to spend more time there, you need to complete tasks assigned by the Azure Sun Martial Mansion. Today's task is to challenge the mansion's disciples.

For a moment, even those at the late Skin Stage are eager to try. However, the lowest level on the platform is the Peak of Skin Stage, and their martial arts techniques are superior. How can you compete with that? Many people's enthusiasm is dampened.

Since they can't win, they decide to hold off for now, go back to complete other tasks, and improve their skills first. Many have this idea and approach the guiding disciple to express their thoughts.

Soon, everyone’s expressions turned grim. The rules this time were a bit different from before.

First, no one could leave before 9 PM. Second, each person had to face at least three challenges and couldn't surrender outright, or they’d face severe consequences. The third rule, which was the hardest for everyone, was that the challenges were mandatory.

There were five tasks that could earn time in the gravity room: mining Qi Blood Crystals, hunting demonic beasts for their Demon Cores, gathering rare materials, breaking barriers, and participating in the arena challenge. Today was the last time anyone would be led through the arena challenge. Starting tomorrow, for the next four days, everyone could choose tasks they were good at. But on the fifth day, everyone had to return here and complete the challenge, even if it meant losing three times.

The rules were strict, and many people complained, including Woo Zhengyang, who frowned slightly. Over the past few days, Zhengyang had come up with a small plan. Besides Rice, Zhengyang and Liu Dahu’s main goal was the gravity room, but they also needed to do some tasks to keep up appearances. Even if they just did a few, they needed to be beneficial. Qi Blood Crystals were a no-brainer, as they were Rice’s treasure. With them, Zhengyang was confident that Rice could quickly reach the Inner Stage and become a martial arts master at just five years old.

Woo Zhengyang was convinced that even the Azure Sun Martial Mansion couldn't produce such a prodigy. After all, someone like Rice, with her insatiable appetite and unique spirit, was truly one in a million.

Secondly, Woo Zhengyang planned to explore other areas, especially those related to restrictions, which he excelled at. Although he wasn't sure what the Azure Sun Martial Mansion was up to, their arrangements were certainly not without reason. Restrictions were something Woo Zhengyang hadn't encountered before, and they seemed the easiest to break through.

However, a sudden mandatory task had been assigned, which left Woo Zhengyang a bit annoyed. Due to this task, he and his companions had to waste one day every five days here. Woo Zhengyang understood that facing off against people from the Azure Sun Martial Mansion would yield many benefits, but compared to Qi Blood Crystals and restrictions, these gains didn't excite him.

Unfortunately, despite his reluctance, Woo Zhengyang had to compromise for the time being. Since it was unavoidable, he decided to fully experience just how powerful these talented disciples from the Azure Sun Martial Mansion truly were!
