C27 Selection

The two chatted all the way until the sun rose the next day. Only when Leng Qiufeng came in with Shui Ling's senior sister, Liu Leexia, did they interrupt their tender conversation.

Lee Tianci and Liu Leexia greeted her and asked, "Why are you so free to come here? Don't you need to prepare for the competition in Nanzhou in twenty years' time?"

Liu Leexia smiled gently, "I have already reached the great circle of the Middle Period of Golden Core. You also know that after the Aurous Core stage, breaking through every level is extremely difficult. Not only must you have sufficient skill, but you must also have enough strength. I still lack a bit of insight, so there's no use in training in seclusion. "

"Oh, then please stay with Ling in my Righteous House for a little while. Talk about the Dao with us, play with us, and maybe we'll find a chance to break through very soon. " Lee Tianci suggested. Lili nodded in satisfaction. Liu Leexia thought for a moment and agreed.

Afterwards, the three of them would play around during the day, cultivate together at night, or discuss their own experiences and confusion.

Although the training time had decreased, the improvement of Lee Tianci and Shui Ling didn't slow down at all. In fact, they were progressing even faster than before!

The dan bead on Lee Tianci's upper dantian became more and more pure. Its size was also increasing rapidly. In just two months time, it changed from a small ping pong ball to a big duck egg. It was because of the rapid progress of the Lotus Calming that allowed his cultivation to increase rapidly.

Shui Ling was naturally overjoyed. Lee Tianci scratched her nose and smiled, "My mood is good. My thoughts are clear, so naturally, my cultivation level will increase."

Liu Leexia was a little confused as she said, "Cultivators care about 'pure heart and few desires,' 'forgetting everything;' Buddhist cultivators also want to 'sever ties with the world'; 'demonic cultivators' love without love 'and' ruthlessness'. Thus, cultivators rarely felt any emotions, and very few were willing to be Dao-companions. "But you …"

"Haha …" Lee Tianci laughed loudly. "My Dao is the 'Dao of humanity' and the 'Dao of the heart'. It is the Dao of love. I have trained in the mortal world for more than thirty years and have experienced all sorts of emotions. As long as I keep to my heart and do not hesitate or lose it, my dao heart will naturally be clear and strong. "

"And 'love' is innate. We can suppress and erase it, right? Right now, Ling and I are in love with each other, and there's nothing wrong with that. On the contrary, it's beneficial to our cultivation. "

Liu Leexia nodded thoughtfully.

But Shui Ling didn't care what they said at all. As long as she was by Lee Tianci's side, she would feel very happy and satisfied. It was because of her purity and love that her heart was spotless and her progress was extremely fast.

One day a year later, Xuanyang suddenly told Lee Tianci that the Sect would hold a "Sword Competition" in half a year's time to let him be ready.

"Big Sword Competition? Is it for the selection of contestants for the competition in the Southern Continent? " Lee Tianci was surprised and asked.

"Not exactly. This time, all disciples under the age of three hundred will be participating in the competition and it will also be a big review of their cultivation. "

Lee Tianci's eyes lit up after hearing that.

"That's great, disciple can finally enjoy it to his heart's content!" Tell me about the situation of my fellow disciples. I know a bit about the disciples, but not the inner and outer disciples. "

Xuanyang laughed, knocked his head and said, "Your seniors are 'scared' of you, how would they dare to fight with you?"

After joking, Xuanyang continued: "You don't have to care about anything else, your real opponents are six early stage Jindan Stage and one Middle Period of Golden Core."

"What?!" Lee Tianci was shocked, "To deal with an early stage Jindan Stage disciple, I am somewhat confident, but the middle stage …"

Xuanyang said expressionlessly, "As long as you can defeat them, I can let you participate in the preliminaries of the South Continent competition."

"Really?!" Lee Tianci was stunned for a long time with a serious face. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. When he opened them a moment later, he had regained his composure and said softly, "This disciple will do his best.

Lee Tianci immediately began his special training for half a year.

The sparring partner this time was his Master and Senior Brother. Lee Tianci wanted them to first use their Aurous Core stage strength to fight him, and they must also use their "full strength".

In this situation, Lee Tianci was constantly in danger and injured from the start. Although the difference in their cultivation level wasn't too great, the hundreds of years of experience he had gained wasn't for naught. Even a genius would need time to grow, right? If not, with just a few decades of practice, you would have already defeated an expert with several hundred years of experience.

However, Lee Tianci was extremely resilient and had a high perception. He only needed a month to adapt to this level of attack. However, during this month, he consumed more elixirs than he would have for half a year.

Just as Lee Tianci adapted, Xuanyang and Leng Qiufeng raised their cultivation to Middle Period of Golden Core.

Lee Tianci was unable to fight back. From morning till night, his face was bruised and bruised. He had to change a dozen or so sets of clothes every day because a set of clothes would soon turn into shreds. Shui Ling watched for a few days, her heart aching. In the end, she had to avoid it and didn't dare to look at it again.

Lee Tianci gritted his teeth and persevered. Luckily he had the [Lotus Calming], so his recovery rate was astonishing, so he wasn't afraid of pill poison.

One month before the start of the competition, Lee Tianci finally started to fight back! Although he was only able to strike back two or three times out of ten, this was already a huge improvement. After all, the difference between the late Foundation Establishment stage and the Middle Period of Golden Core was simply too great.

On the last day, Lee Tianci could defend against all six attacks. This was his limit.

Xuanyang let him rest because he was too tired, Wu steel was afraid that he would not be able to last until the end of the competition. However, Lee Tianci had his master release the aura of Late Period of Golden Core on him, so he had to try his best to remove the effect of the Spirit Pressure on him.

Fortunately, his Spiritual Sense was comparable to Middle Period of Golden Core, and his willpower was very firm, so he quickly adapted to it.

After the competition started, Lee Tianci quickly entered the meditative state. There were only four words in his mind: "Enemy, defeat!"

He had won a total of 21 matches in a row and defeated all the disciples below the Aurous Core stage.

After that, Lee Tianci challenged the six Junior Disciples of the Aurous Core stage, defeating the six Junior Disciples one day at a time. Although there were some dangers among them, all of them had been breached by him.

After resting for a day, Lee Tianci challenged the weakest person, Brother Zhang, from Middle Period of Golden Core! This Senior Zhang, Lee Tianci, had never seen him before.

Lee Tianci stood on the stage and bowed to Brother Zhang before slowly retreating until he was a hundred meters away. The two of them released a strong aura and pounced towards each other, at the same time using Spiritual Sense s to firmly lock onto the enemy.

At the command of the referee, Lee Tianci instantly spat out his flying sword. The Dragon Sword turned into a ray of dazzling yellow light, flying towards Senior Brother Zhang and intercepting his flying sword in the air.

The moment the flying sword clashed, Lee Tianci's body shook and he shouted in his heart: "Low quality magic treasure! There's still hope! "

Lee Tianci, who was in high spirits, increased his mana output and commanded the Dragon Sword to continuously collide with Senior Brother Zhang's flying sword. Not long after, the golden-red flames on the Dragon Sword gradually dimmed, and Lee Tianci's face became pale.

Senior brother Zhang's spirit was lifted as he closed in step by step. The distance between the two was constantly shortening. Seeing that victory was right in front of him, Senior Zhang suddenly roared, and immediately used his full strength, the flying sword immediately shone brightly and struck the Dragon Sword, but he also stopped for a moment.

As for Lee Tianci, he was already prepared when Brother Zhang released his power. When the Dragon Sword was struck, he quickly rushed towards Brother Zhang as fast as a ghost, leaving only an afterimage in the air. At the same time, the Dragon Sword also attacked his flying sword.

Senior brother Zhang was stunned for a moment before regaining his senses. His expression changed greatly as he quickly commanded his flying sword to come back and save the emperor.

Unfortunately, it was already too late. The Dragon Sword stopped his flying sword with a bang. Lee Tianci had already arrived at this time. Like a wild horse, his fist was like a cannonball as it heavily bombarded Senior Brother Zhang's protective shield. The protective shield instantly glowed brightly and quickly flickered, then it quickly dimmed down. Lee Tianci did not stop at all, his fists rained down like rain. Senior Zhang didn't even have time to react before the shield was quickly broken. Lee Tianci's punch sent him flying and his flying sword also fell a few meters away from Lee Tianci …

All of this seemed like it happened in a split-second.

Walking down the stage, Lee Tianci walked up to the gloomy Senior Brother Zhang, bowed deeply, and said sincerely: "I am sorry, Senior Brother Zhang! Thank you for showing mercy. I should not have tried to play tricks, but this competition is very important to me. I was forced to do so.

Senior brother Zhang was stunned for a moment, then immediately supported Lee Tianci and laughed: "Brother Li is too serious, it is very normal for you to use all sorts of methods on the martial field, I have indeed lost. Between us brothers, there's no need to take such a small matter to heart. You just need to try your best in the preliminaries of the Southern Continent Competition. "
