C41 Pseudosimian
The inner sect was a sacred place in the eyes of outsiders. It was a heaven they dreamed of. During this year's inner sect guards' competition, disciples from other clans could challenge those inner sect disciples that they believed they could defeat. If they defeated them, they could take their place. If they lost, they would have to pay a certain amount of merit points.
After becoming an inner sect disciple, they would have the opportunity to compete with other inner clan disciples for the rights to become inner clan guards. After becoming an inner clan disciple, they would have the opportunity to compete with other inner clan guards.
"Ling'er, it's been such a lively day. Almost all the disciples of the Dongfang family have come." Today was his chance to prove himself.
"Tch ~ You haven't seen the world." After all, she was someone who had seen the world.
On this day, regardless of whether they were from the inner sect or not, they all had the right to enter the inner clan's martial arts practice grounds and watch the competition. The entire inner sect Martial Arts Practice Field was already filled with people. A gorgeous high platform stood right in front of the Martial Arts Practice Field. No matter the size or imposing manner, it was far superior to the other families' Martial Arts Practice Field.
"Let me ask you a question, Little Han Bing." Ling'er suddenly asked mysteriously.
"Princess Ling, please speak. This lowly one will definitely speak without reserve." Han Bing said with a flattering look.
"Come on, I'm not going to eat this shit. I'm asking you, I'm going to cut off my love rival soon. Are you happy? Are you excited?" After saying that, Ling'er smiled. It was obvious that she was quite excited.
"I think you're more excited, right? Why are you so concerned about me? Have you fallen for me?" Han Bing asked with a mischievous smile.
"Yeah, I've taken a fancy to you, do you dare?"
"Hiss ~ Forget it, I don't dare to ask for it."
"Haha, I knew you wouldn't dare, coward."
"Yes."
Just as the two of them were playing around, several red figures appeared on top of the gorgeous tall stage. One was a middle-aged man, one was an old man, and the other was a middle-aged woman. The middle-aged man in the middle was the domineering Second Master — Dongfang Lie. It was obvious that the Dongfang family valued this competition. What made Han Bing even more surprised was that the old man was actually the guardian of the Tower of Demon Hunting, an old cunning merchant that tricked him for his merit points. In fact, the most terrifying thing was still that woman. She had an extremely good figure, and although she was middle-aged, her charm still persisted. She did not put on makeup, but instead had a mature charm to her. However, that cold expression made people want to back off.
The three of them stood on the high platform and for a moment, the entire martial arts training field was filled with discussion.
"Did you see that? The referee this time is Second Master Dongfang Lie. He looks very solemn."
"Not only that. That old man is the elder of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Jian. His swordsmanship is superb."
"Who is that cold faced woman? "Why does she look like someone owes her so much money?"
"You are courting death, that is the wife of the Dongfang family's Patriarch. She does not show herself often, but I heard that she is stronger than the Second Master."
Those three people immediately became the focus of the audience, but at this time, Han Bing didn't have the mood to pay attention to the three people onstage, because he saw Shaohua and Luo Ling were currently chatting with an inner sect disciple. That inner sect disciple looked a little similar to Shaohua; he looked to be in his twenties.
"Hey, Little Han Bing, let me tell you in secret. The man talking to Shao Hua is called Shaoren, he's Shao Hua's older brother. His cultivation is much higher than his, so he might be able to put some pressure on you." Ling'er suddenly said.
Damn, how did this girl know everything? Could it be that she went to check the Shaohua Family's account?
The first round is the inner sect disciple advancement competition, and the second round is the inner sect guard selection competition. I believe you all know the specific rules, so no need to say anything more. Dongfang Lie's sonorous voice resounded throughout the entire training field.
Immediately, the crowd in the training field split into two groups. The ones on the left were all dressed in light red, and these were all outer sect disciples.
On the right side, all of them were wearing crimson colored clothes. Although the number of people on the left side was not even a tenth of the number, their auras were even more terrifying than the left side. On the other hand, Shaohua's elder brother Shaoren was not in these two pairs. It was obvious that his status was higher than ordinary inner sect disciples.
"Alright, the outer sect disciples on the left, listen up. Do you see those people in front of you? If anyone doesn't like them, you can challenge them. If you win, you can replace them. If you can't win, hand the money over. Do you understand?" Dongfang Lie said loudly.
"Understood." The outer sect disciples shouted in unison.
"Alright, who's going to start the show?" After saying that, Dongfang Lie turned to look at Han Bing, his meaning clear.
"I'll go first." Before Han Bing could say anything, a voice rang out. Everyone looked over, it was a tall and lean youth, holding a golden long rod, his eyes flashing with a shrewd light. Isn't this what Sun Youdao was like?
"What's your name? Who do you want to challenge?" It was obvious that Dongfang Lie had some opinions of this young man who had disturbed him from watching a good show.
"My name is Sun Youwei. My cultivation base is at the 9th Body Refinement Layer. I can just casually reach the 1st level." Sun Youwei said indifferently.
A single sentence instantly caused a commotion. This guy definitely wasn't here to be funny. There was such a strange thing. He was only at the 9th Body Refinement Layer, yet he dared to be so arrogant. He had to pick a weak one.
Just as everyone was looking at Sun Youwei with a curious expression, an inner sect disciple rushed up to the platform and said, "I am Zhang Jian, I'm at the first level of the Qi Condensation stage. I'm here to seek guidance."
"Shua!" Zhang Jian instantly made his move. He didn't use any spiritual energy, as he thought that he didn't need to use any spiritual energy on Sun Youwei. Bang! The two fists collided, and the surprising thing was that Zhang Jian was sent flying. Sun Youcai still had that same cheap smile on his face.
"What kind of monster is this?"
"Oh my god, I'm not seeing things, am I?"
Seeing Sun Youcai casually send Zhang Jian flying with a single punch, the crowd burst into an uproar.
Even Zhang Jian was shocked. He got up from the ground, but this time, he started to get serious. A light green colored spiritual energy wrapped around his body, and his aura had more than doubled from before.
"Mountain Splitting Fist!" Zhang Jian loudly shouted. It was obvious that he wanted to use a martial skill, and with the support of his spirit energy, he became even more terrifying. However, Sun Youcai remained unmoved. His body began to change under the watchful eyes of the crowd. His thin and weak body became thicker and grew golden hair. Soon, it turned into a golden ape.
"A demonic beast? He's actually a demonic beast!"
"No culture, this is a pseudo-demon beast."
Everyone began to discuss.
Zhang Jian's Mountain Splitting Fist mixed with spirit energy emitted a whistling sound as it approached. The golden ape holding the golden long rod roared loudly, "Monkey King Rod!" As the two clashed, golden and light green streams of air flashed in front of everyone's eyes.
The most surprising thing was that the light green color was crushed by the golden impact, instantly disappearing like dried weeds, seeing the golden rod about to break Zhang Jian's head, the golden ape immediately stopped its attack, the pole disappeared, and a punch landed on Zhang Jian's stomach, sending him flying out of the stage.
"He's actually a beast warrior with the ability to transform into a demon beast. Our Dongfang family is going to have another genius." Dong Fang laughed heartily, completely forgetting his dissatisfaction with Sun Youwei.
On the battle stage, the golden ape slowly transformed back into Sun Youwei.
"What's going on? Ling'er, why do you think you're similar to my Dragonform?" Han Bing couldn't help but ask.
"This is a Demonic Beast's transformation. I don't know what kind of dog shit luck Sun Youcai had with this kid. He must have obtained the beast core of a greater Demonic Beast in order to learn this skill." Ling'er explained.
"Can you tell me more details?" What's the difference between this and the Dragonform? "
"Draconic Cast is a bloodline power that is produced by the eruption of your bloodline power. It can greatly increase your strength. And this kind of quasi-demonic beast, after obtaining the beast core and refining it, could simulate some of the characteristics of the demonic beast and improve oneself. This kind of person was called a beast warrior. Moreover, this kind of person can increase his strength by consuming Demonic Beast Cores. Otherwise, how else would he be able to reach the ninth level of the Refinement Realm so quickly? "
"Wait, what is a beast core? Is there such a thing? "Why haven't I seen it before?"
"Of course you haven't. The beasts you've killed are all Refinement Realm demon beasts. Only those who have reached the Qi Condensation stage can form a beast core in their body. That's why I said this kid was lucky enough to see beast cores and become a martial artist." However, this kind of beast martial artist is not very common. Because the demon race is very powerful, when they see a beast martial artist, they will mercilessly kill them. "
Naturally, using the beast cores of their own clansmen to cultivate, it would be strange if the demon clan could endure it.
But when Han Bing heard this, he couldn't help but be happy. This way, he could use the camouflage of his Demon Beast to conceal the secret of his Dragon Transformation.
"Good, my friend. Defeat Zhang Jian and you will be an inner clan member from today onwards. I, Dong Fang Jian, congratulate you on entering the inner clan." From the looks of it, he should be very satisfied with Sun Youwei's performance.
"Heavens, elder Dongfang Jian actually took the initiative to speak."
"This kid is too lucky to have been targeted by Elder Dongfang Jian."
People threw envious looks at Sun Youcai.
"Hehe, thank you elder. When can I change my clothes?" Sun Youcai continued to ask shamelessly.
"No rush, no rush. After the Challenger League ends, I'll send it to you." The old man laughed, "Then is there anyone else who wants to challenge me?"
Sun Youwei walked down from the platform with a proud expression, which made people want to slap him.
Han Bing looked around and saw that many people from other races were eager to fight but didn't dare to go up on stage. In this kind of difficult time, it was obviously to be the main character.
"I'll do it!" Seeing Han Bing standing on the stage, Dongfang Lie smiled and nodded his head, while Dongfang Jian pretended not to care as he looked to the side. Meanwhile, that middle-aged beauty with a stern expression was actually staring at Han Bing, as if she wanted to pierce through him.
"Wow, Little Han Bing, that old woman over there is looking at you again!" Ling'er jeered.
"Please spare me. That person is older than my father. I cannot accept it." Han Bing shuddered in fear.
"You, who do you want to challenge?" The middle-aged beauty asked as if she was the one who had stolen her daughter.
"Inner clan Shaohua." Han Bing wasn't worried in the slightest.
"Hahahaha, Han Bing, you are courting death, don't blame me." The inner sect disciples leapt up onto the stage, their eyes filled with ridicule.
The two of them faced each other, their eyes seemingly filled with electricity. At this moment, Shaohua raised his head and saw the three people standing on the platform. "Three judges, I will apply for a life-and-death duel."
On the outer sect disciples' side, Luo Ling's heart couldn't help but tighten when she heard this. She clearly remembered that Shaohua promised not to have a life-and-death battle with Han Bing. What was going on?
"Oh? Han Bing, Shaohua is going to have a life-and-death battle with you, I wonder what you think? " Dongfang Lie said as he looked at Han Bing with a smile.
"I couldn't ask for more." Han Bing said.
"Alright, please sign the life and death contract. Life and death will be decided by fate."
Hearing this, Lorraine almost went crazy. What was going on? Were the words of a man so untrustworthy?
