"Ha, it's still unbearable." Ren Pingsheng climbed up from the pond, still in excruciating pain. It was even worse than the first time. However, he managed to endure it for a much longer period.
Enduring the pain in his body, Ren Pingsheng began to meditate with his eyes closed. He noticed that after each body refinement session, he absorbed Spiritual Energy much faster, as if his entire body were like a sponge. Moreover, meditating at this time surprisingly alleviated the pain in his upper body.
Before long, he felt the effects of his meditation; a refreshing sensation spread throughout his body, making him feel quite comfortable.
"Now that I've broken through to the fourth layer of Qi Refinement Stage, I can take a break and focus on mastering the first layer of Nine Turns Body Refinement Technique!" Feeling the pain dissipate and his spirit restored, Ren Pingsheng gritted his teeth and jumped onto a large rock beneath the waterfall to meditate.
The water flowing down continuously struck and tempered his skin, including his Viscera, gradually making them more resilient.
"Ren brother, Ren brother!" A distant voice calling interrupted Ren Pingsheng's meditation. He hurriedly put on his clothes, unsure of what was happening.
"Why would he come all the way here for no reason?" He wondered as he looked at the approaching figure with some confusion.
"Ren brother, I finally found you! Why did you run so far? It took me a while to find you," Chu Xiao exclaimed with some surprise.
"What brings you here today? Did you finish your mission?" Ren Pingsheng asked in confusion.
"Forget about the mission; hurry back with me. Something has happened." With that, Chu Xiao pulled Ren Pingsheng along in a hurry.
"Why are you so anxious? Explain what's going on clearly instead of being so vague!"
"Let's talk while we walk. Here's the thing: this afternoon, some guys from Lingyun Peak suddenly came to our Azure Cloud Peak and wanted to spar. No one took it seriously at first."
"But after they won a few matches, they started talking trash and things escalated into an argument. The match became more intense, but they are all experts at the fourth layer of Qi Refinement Stage, and many from our peak lost. That's why I came to find you."
"You came to find me? That's useless; I'm not necessarily their match either." Ren Pingsheng clearly showed no interest in this matter; he would rather continue his meditation here.
"Come on, brother, I still don't know you. You seem quiet, but you must have already reached the Fourth Layer of Qi Refinement, right? You can't hide from my eyes. If we lose too badly, we won't have the face to see anyone again." Chu Xiao said, showing a look that suggested he wouldn't let Ren Pingsheng off the hook, and his speed increased significantly.
"Forget it, wait a moment. I need to finish today's task first; I can't just run around for nothing." Arriving at a familiar spot, Ren Pingsheng skillfully picked up some firewood. He had always completed his daily tasks on time.
"What time is it? You're still worried about these things. I'm really impressed by you."
"Heh, these things can't be rushed. Whether we go early or late doesn't make much difference. Who knows how many people are secretly hoping to stand out! They won't miss such an opportunity."
Back at the sect, Ren Pingsheng first submitted his task, considering it done for the day before following Chu Xiao back to Azure Cloud Peak. On the way, they encountered quite a few others heading in the same direction, clearly going to watch the excitement.
Upon reaching the summit, they found the square filled with young men in gray robes, numbering around seven or eight hundred. In the center of the Dueling Platform, two people were engaged in a fierce battle. One of them was familiar to Ren Pingsheng; he was a disciple of Azure Cloud Peak. The other was unfamiliar and likely a disciple from another peak.
The two exchanged blows vigorously. They were both using the Flying Spirit Sword Technique that had been distributed for free by the sect months ago; however, since they had only recently grasped it, their movements were still awkward and rigid, lacking any adaptability.
"The one on stage is our Zhao Zhen from Azure Cloud Peak; the other is Lu Yang from Lingyun Peak. Do you think Zhao Zhen can win?" Chu Xiao asked as they got closer, his gaze fixed on the platform.
"It's hard to say. Although they seem evenly matched, if anything changes, it could be different." Before he finished speaking, Lu Yang on stage suddenly brushed his hand along the spine of his sword, and a faint glow rose from the blade.
"Ah, Lu Yang is indeed also at the Fourth Layer of Qi Refinement! Lingyun Peak is impressive; this makes five who have reached the Fourth Layer." Many spectators looked surprised.
"This match will be won by Lingyun Peak again; Azure Cloud Peak really isn't their match. How can someone at the Third Layer of Qi Refinement compete with someone at the Fourth Layer? The Fourth Layer can infuse Spiritual Energy into their blade! The attack power can double!"
Some knowledgeable spectators immediately pointed out the reason.
"You called it right; I didn't expect Lu Yang to also be at the Fourth Layer. It seems Lingyun Peak came prepared this time. None of them are weak." Chu Xiao complained helplessly.
"Victory and defeat are common in battles; there's no need to take it so seriously. If you work hard enough, you should be able to reach the Fourth Layer of Qi Refinement as well. Temporary strength doesn't mean much; as long as you put in effort, you'll catch up sooner or later!" Ren Pingsheng said comfortingly. Indeed, Zhao Zhen on stage couldn't withstand his opponent's fierce attacks for long and soon fell defeated.
"I know all that, but I just can't stand the arrogant face of Lingyun Peak."
"Then just wait until your cultivation surpasses theirs, and then you can get it back. This kind of thing can't be changed just because you're angry. If your cultivation is inferior and you don't know how to be humble, but still go up and point fingers, you can't blame others for laughing at you."
"Haha, Azure Cloud Peak really is weak; you've lost a total of five matches. Is there anyone else willing to come out? I, Lu Yang, am not done having fun yet!" The victorious Lu Yang was in high spirits, pointing his Refined Iron Sword at the hundreds of people on the stage, looking quite arrogant.
"Indeed, a bunch of cowards; not one dares to come on stage. How boring. If no one comes up, then you Azure Cloud Peak should steer clear when you see us from Lingyun Peak in the future."
"Haha, Brother Shi is even better; we from Lingyun Peak are number one in Wufeng!" Many disciples from Lingyun Peak started cheering below.
As soon as this was said, it immediately displeased many people present, as there were quite a few disciples from Wufeng.
"These Lingyun Peak people are indeed arrogant, actually declaring themselves number one and daring to look down on us from Wang Yun Peak."
"Hmph, our big Brother Shi from Azure Cloud Peak has been at the fourth level of Qi Refinement Stage for several days now; how could he be compared to Lu Yang who just advanced? He doesn't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is."
"It seems we need to teach these guys from Lingyun Peak a good lesson; without an old tiger in the mountain, the monkeys claim kingship. I'm going to tell Liu Shixiong from Liuyun Peak and see if they’re still so arrogant then."
Hearing the disdainful discussions coming from below made Lu Yang quite angry; all his earlier joy had vanished, and his expression turned somewhat ugly.
"Hmph, whoever has the ability should come up and compete. What's the point of just wasting words? I'll say this today: we from Lingyun Peak are number one in Wufeng. Anyone from any peak who has the ability can come and fight."
"Fei Shixiong, isn't this a bit inappropriate? You should know that there are quite a few experts at the fourth level of Qi Refinement Stage among the other four peaks. I'm afraid..." A slender man asked softly.
"Although Lu Yang is a bit arrogant, he is right about one thing: we from Lingyun Peak are indeed number one in Wufeng. Before we leave, we must make that happen!" Fei Shixiong said with a light laugh, looking confident of victory.
Many people hurriedly left Azure Cloud Peak, clearly going back to find their Brother Shi at the fourth level of Qi Refinement Stage. Now this battle had evolved into a ranking battle for Wufeng, and no one wanted to fall behind. Some experts from the nearby four peaks heard this and exchanged glances, considering whether or not to intervene.
"Ha ha, Wang Yun Peak Sun Sheng is not talented, but I would like to learn from Brother Lu's high skills." A handsome young man appeared on the high platform, exuding confidence.
"Oh, let's see if you have real skills then. I won't hold back." Lu Yang spoke lightly, but his expression was serious as he directly infused his blade with Spiritual Energy, clearly indicating that his opponent was also a master at the Qi Refinement Stage level four.
"Brother Lu, be careful!" Sun Sheng drew his Fine Iron Longsword and immediately executed the Flying Spirit Sword Technique, demonstrating impressive skill in Sword Technique. He lunged forward and thrust his sword quickly!
A flash of surprise crossed Lu Yang's eyes. He attempted to block with his sword but lost the initiative, finding himself at a disadvantage against Sun Sheng. The sharpness of Sun Sheng's Sword Technique and its rapid speed created a flurry of sword light, leaving many spectators astonished. They hadn't expected that the previously arrogant Lu Yang seemed to be outmatched and was only on the defensive.
"What a fast sword! This Sun Sheng is also a master; it seems that Lu Yang from Lingyun Peak is in danger." Chu Xiao had now calmed down.
"Yes, Sun Sheng's Sword Technique is quite impressive. If he plays steadily, this match shouldn't be difficult for him." Ren Pingsheng was also surprised by Sun Sheng's level of skill, realizing that this person had considerable talent.
After exchanging blows for about forty to fifty moves, Sun Sheng, unable to break through, became somewhat anxious. As a result, he left an opening that Lu Yang seized, leading to his defeat. The spectators felt regretful watching this unfold. Although Lu Yang won, it wasn't easy; he had expended quite a bit of his own Spiritual Energy.
"What a promising situation turned into a loss; it seems victory and defeat truly hinge on a single thought." Chu Xiao was also somewhat astonished; he certainly hoped for a loss from Lingyun Peak.
"It's a pity; Sun Sheng actually had every chance to win but became too anxious." Ren Pingsheng couldn't help but frown, then reflected on himself, realizing he must not make such mistakes in the future.
"I didn't expect Brother Sun to lose; it was just a little bit off." Many disciples from Wang Yun Peak expressed their regrets.
"Hmph, losing is losing. Brother Lu is still impressive; our Lingyun Peak cannot be compared to your Wang Yun Peak." A disciple from Lingyun Peak mocked disdainfully.
"Hmph..." The faces of the disciples from Wang Yun Peak looked somewhat grim. Regardless of the outcome, they had lost. However, thinking about their big brother who had yet to arrive, they felt that the final victory was still undecided and shifted from worry to hope.
