Chapter 1 Rebirth

  The two of them came out from Xuanyuan and rushed straight to the main peak.

  "Chen Xuan, I won't be participating in this big competition. You go ahead by yourself. I just broke through to the Lingwu realm and even if I went, I would still be a bottom-tier existence. Besides, I want to take on some more tasks and earn more task points. This time you helped me pay for a month's worth of task points, but I won't always be relying on you in the future. Now that I'm also in the Lingwu realm, I'll go back and apply to become an inner sect disciple. I want to go out and gain some experience for a while, so I won't be coming back during this time. Take care of yourself." said Yunsheng.

  "Alright then, be careful yourself." After saying this, the two of them parted ways.

  Chen Xuan arrived at the top of the main peak, and saw a magnificent building standing on the summit, with a majestic atmosphere, carved dragons and phoenixes, emitting waves of majesty. The building was written in bold letters: Zhu Wu Hall. This should be where the elders of Dan Xuan usually discuss matters. Even if they were core disciples, without approval, they did not dare to step into this great hall.

  The registration location is at a small mountain peak near the main peak. Many disciples rushed over there, and even the lowest ones were in the middle of Spiritual Martial Arts.

  "Chen Xuan you're here. At this time, several people came over to greet him. Ye Shixiong, have you finished signing up?" Chen Xuan saw a familiar face.

  "We've already registered, and this time there are more disciples participating than last year. I heard that at least three thousand inner sect disciples have signed up. The competition will be held over five days, with thousands of matches each day. On the day of the competition, the rewards for this event will also be announced."

  "I'll go register first, you wait here for a while, and then we can head back to Lian Shan Peak together."

  After Chen Xuan left, another group of people surrounded a man and walked towards Ye Yun, surrounding several people in the middle.

  "Ye Yun, you're a defeated general and yet you dare to bully us Tian Tian Peak disciples in the Xuan Huang Tower. You even destroyed our Ba brothers' mid-grade spiritual equipment and turned it into low-grade spiritual equipment. You're really lawless and have no one to blame but yourself. When will our Tian Tian Peak disciples get a turn to teach you a lesson?" A man surrounded by the crowd said.

  "Luoyun Fei, don't be so arrogant. What do you mean by saying we bullied your Tongtian Peak disciples in the Xuanyuan Tower? Everyone saw that it was your Ba brothers who tried to take away Chen Xuan's qualification for cultivation in the Xuanyuan Tower. In the end, they were defeated by Chen Xuan and had to join forces, but I intervened to stop them. How can you mention this today and want to fight me ahead of time? Last year, I only lost to you by one move, but it's still unknown who will win or lose this year. If you're looking for trouble, I, Ye Yun, am ready to take you on. What do you mean by saying that many people bully the few?" Ye Yun said fearlessly.

  "A defeated general like you still dares to fight me? Ba Lao Er, is the one who beat your son among these people?" Lu Yunfei said to Ba Liming.

  "Master, that kid named Chen Xuan is not here," Ba Liming said in a low voice.

  "Yeyun, as long as you hand over that little brat named Chenxuan, you can all leave safely today. Otherwise, don't blame us for not being hospitable to you at Tongtian Peak; I really want to see what kind of three heads and six arms this kid has, to have actually defeated Bali Ming."

  Luoyunfei finished speaking, and many disciples on that side looked over. The Danxuan Gate does not prohibit internal disciples from fighting each other, and as long as they do not kill each other, the sect generally will not intervene. This is also the cruelty of the cultivation world, where the weak will always live in the shadow of the strong.

  "Luoyun Fei, you're being too overbearing! Bullying a newly promoted inner sect disciple is nothing to brag about. If you have any issues, come at me, Ye Yun, and we can settle this today instead of waiting for the big competition in ten days."

  After finishing speaking, his whole body's momentum relaxed, and sharp sword energy surrounded Ye Yun's body.

  "I didn't expect you to practice the Great Swordsmanship to the point of having two sword intents. It seems that this year, you also came prepared and wanted to show off your skills in the Grand Competition. Unfortunately, my 'Chaoyuan Qigong' has already reached the seventh level, and your two sword intents can't break through my Chaoyuan Qigong. If you could reach four-part sword intent, I might consider fighting you. It seems that this year, you will be disappointed again." Lu Yunfei said with a smile, adding insult to injury.

  "It's only after fighting that one knows."

  Ye Yun's sword intent on his body grew thicker, and at this time, Luo Yunfei's face also became increasingly unsightly. This was the manifestation of three points of sword intent. Ye Yun's momentum had been climbing all along, finally stopping only when it reached the peak of three points of sword intent.

  "I didn't expect you to grasp the essence of the Daze Swordsmanship so quickly, reaching the pinnacle of three parts of sword intent. It seems that you indeed have the qualifications to engage in a battle with me."

  Lu Yunfei's eyes were filled with a strong desire for battle, but he forcefully suppressed it.

  "For now, I don't want to fight you temporarily. I hope we can settle this in the grand competition later. Today, I'm looking for that kid named Chen Xuan. Hurry up and bring him out, have him kneel on the ground and kowtow a few times, then hand over his spiritual instrument as compensation for the loss of Bali Ming's property, and we'll consider this matter settled."

  The cloud fell and flew away with an overbearing tone.

  "You want me to hand over Chen Xuan? It's impossible. You think you can bully us just because you have more people? We're not afraid of you. With so many disciples here today, I'd like to see what you can do to us. Your Tongtian Peak is only ranked tenth, what makes you so arrogant?" Lu Feiyu stepped forward and said.

  "We'll just rely on this arrogance."

  "Slap."

  Luffy was surprisingly knocked flying by a single palm strike from Rakka, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air. He was sent flying with just one move; the several disciples standing beside him drew their weapons and were about to charge forward.

  "Which of you is looking for me?"

  At this time, a young man walked over from afar and said.

  "Brother Luo Shi, this is Chen Xuan." Ba Li Ming hastily said.

  "Little kid, I didn't think you wouldn't run away. Hurry up and come over to give our senior brother a few loud knocks on the head, and we might just let you go." A man standing beside Luoyun Fei said.

  At the moment when Lu Yunfei knocked down Lu Shixiong, Chen Xuan had just rushed over from the registration place and heard someone talking about himself.

  "It was actually you two who stirred up trouble and wanted me, Chen Xuan, to kowtow to you. Let's see if you can take it."

  "Chen Xuan, what are you doing here? You're no match for Luoyun Fei, he's already a half-step True Martial artist."

  Wang Yuqing said to Chen Xuan, while the others helped Lu Feiyu up.

  "Thank you to the several senior brothers who were surrounded for my sake. My own affairs are still mine to resolve. You're Lu Yunfei, right? Release my senior brothers and let's talk about what you want to say or do; now is the time to settle this. Today, I won't let you leave this main peak unscathed either. If you dare to lay a hand on my friend Chen Xuan, I will make him wish he were dead."

  "You little brat, you have guts, daring to speak to us like that. Today isn't just about making you kowtow, I'm going to cripple you and make you my dog. I happen to be short of a watchdog right now, and today I'll make you my watchdog." Lu Yunfei was furious.

  At this time, Ye Yun blocked Chen Xuan's way.

  "Lu Yunfei, you're dealing with a disciple who has just reached the Lingwu realm, do you feel very proud of yourself?"

  "I don't need you, Ye Yun, to tell me what to do. Get out of the way, I'm going to take care of this kid right now."

  "Master brother, I appreciate your kindness, but today's matter has nothing to do with you all, I'll handle it myself."

  Chen Xuan pulled Ye Yun to the outer circle, and Ye Yun surprisingly didn't break free from Chen Xuan's hand. The look in Ye Yun's eyes finally calmed down, it seems that this junior brother's strength isn't as simple as it appears on the surface.

  "What should we do, Master? Chen Xuan alone can't be the opponent of these people. Should we go inform Peak Master?" said several people standing on the outside.

  "It's nothing, Chen Xuan's strength is beyond even my understanding."

  "Are you going up together or fighting alone?"

  "You little brat, let me teach you a lesson."

  A young man flew into the arena, a pair of golden iron claws pointing at Chen Xuan.

  "Soul Searching Hand."

  They came up and attacked Chen Xuan right away. A pair of iron claws transformed into countless claw shadows flying towards Chen Xuan, and a mid-term spiritual martial artist also came out shouting.

  "Not bad, one inferior spiritual artifact, I'll take it."

  "Rumble, rumble, rumble."

  A loud explosion, all the claw shadows were broken, and the young man was punched by Chen Xuan and fell to the ground, with his ribs completely fractured, and a pair of golden iron claws had already fallen into Chen Xuan's hands.

  "Sorry, I'll just laugh it off."

  Chen Xuan's divine consciousness forcibly erased the iron claw's imprint, and the young man spat out a mouthful of blood; it was so simple to erase the other party's divine consciousness, and the other party's soul was also injured.

  Chen Xuan now needs a spiritual artifact to enhance his demonic charm, the yuan ling dan on his body was all used up during this closed cultivation, and his body is now clean and refreshed.

  Throw the iron claw into the ring and clapped hands.

  "It's a pity that it's a low-grade spiritual artifact, and its grade is too low."

  As soon as Chen Xuan's words came out, the young man lying on the ground coughed up another mouthful of blood. This made Chen Xuan so angry that he almost spat out blood himself. He had finally managed to gather all the materials for a spiritual artifact and refine this iron claw, only to have it snatched away by Chen Xuan at a cheap price.
