Chapter 14
The direct disciple returned to the arena and announced, “Lu Tianyu wins!
“For the second match, Zhang Chunzhu versus Hu Yuwang.”
…
The battle on the stage was still intense, with dangers and various techniques that made Zhang Chen’s eyes widen.
From time to time, he would imagine himself in the midst of the fight, thinking about how he would handle such situations.
Although the participants in the inner sect competition were all disciples at the seventh or even eighth level of Qi cultivation, Zhang Chen felt that none of the current contestants on the stage were his match.
Because these people seemed to only know one or two techniques and didn’t have many other means.
He could totally rely on the Blood Armor Technique to resist a blow, then use the Blood Burst Technique to burst forward and finish off his opponent with the Mad Blood Demon Saber.
After all, not everyone had so much time to practice techniques, especially in the Blood God Sect, a demonic sect where they had to break through realms within a set time.
So I’m already this strong!
Zhang Chen couldn’t help feeling a bit proud.
Now it was already the fifth match, with one named Wang Zhiyao and the other Wu Tieming, both at the seventh level of Qi cultivation, evenly matched. The battle was exceptionally intense.
Zhang Chen was also guessing who would win based on his own judgment.
Looks like Wu Tieming is going to lose.
Not only Zhang Chen thought so, but everyone else did too.
In the arena, Wu Tieming began to fall into a disadvantageous position. It was a little difficult for him to resist, and he was in danger.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
“Bang!”
Wu Tieming’s face contorted in pain. He stepped away and instantly escaped from Wang Zhiyao’s attack range.
Wang Zhiyao’s strike missed, and he tried to continue his assault.
Wu Tieming’s expression grew even more pained. He stepped away again, leaving behind a residual image like a ghostly phantom, which suddenly appeared next to Wang Zhiyao and punched him.
And this punch was also as fast as lightning, and difficult to catch with the naked eye.
“What!”
“Spurt~”
Wang Zhiyao was shocked and horrified. He was unable to defend himself in time, and took a punch to his chest, spewing blood from his mouth as he flew backwards.
“This seems to be the Blood Burst Technique.”
Zhang Chen had been practicing Blood Burst Technique for half a year and was very familiar with it. He noticed that Wu Tieming had become so fast because he had used the Blood Burst Technique.
This was the first time he had seen someone else use Blood Burst Technique, and he became interested, watching carefully.
Wu Tieming took another step forward, intending to completely finish off Wang Zhiyao.
“Bang!”
However, at the moment his foot touched the ground, a meridian point on his calf suddenly exploded without warning, leaving a bloody hole.
This was a side effect of the Blood Burst Technique. The meridian points on the foot couldn’t withstand multiple impacts of spiritual power and burst.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Chen couldn’t help but exclaim, “Without the modifier removing the side effects, he was unable to bear it after just three uses?”
Although it was not a serious injury for just one meridian point exploding, Wu Tieming endured the immense pain and appeared beside Wang Zhiyao, striking him with a punch.
“Spurt~”
Wang Zhiyao spat out blood once again, heavily crashing to the ground and losing consciousness.
“Wu Tieming wins!” As the direct disciple announced on stage, the victory and defeat were officially decided.
“Senior Brother Wu actually won!” Everyone looked at this scene in shock.
From Wu Tieming using the Blood Burst Technique to turning the tables, it was only a few breaths of time. Many people had not yet reacted when it was already over.
Looking at Wu Tieming limping off the stage, Zhang Chen was thinking of something else.
He thought Wang Zhiyao had the upper hand, so he had assumed that he would win, but he never expected the situation to suddenly reverse.
This made him realize that he couldn’t let his guard down until the very end.
After all, no one knew if the other side had any means to make a comeback.
“The sixth match, Lu Wenyu versus Liang Shiguang.”
Zhang Chen snapped out of his thoughts and heard a familiar name.
He looked at the arena. As expected, it was Lu Wenyu, who had exchanged demon blood with him previously.
Zhang Chen’s interest was piqued. “Lu Wenyu said that he needs demon blood to practice techniques. I wonder what kind of techniques they are.”
The competition began!
Lu Wenyu took the lead and reached out his hand towards the empty space in front of him.
The opponent’s expression changed, and the blood soldier he had condensed in his hand suddenly disintegrated into blood, no longer under his control.
“Is this the Blood Absorption Technique?” Zhang Chen frowned and was a little uncertain.
The Blood Absorption Technique could suck blood from others even if they were far away, let alone blood that was outside of the body.
Blood weapons were originally condensed from blood, so they were naturally affected.
Lu Wenyu indeed used the Blood Absorption Technique, but he didn’t expect to be able to suck the blood of his opponent, who also had a Qi cultivation level of seven levels like him.
Absorbing blood outside the body is simpler than sucking blood inside the body.
His strategy was to restrict the opponent’s use of blood soldiers and other means of separating blood from the body.
Others might not be able to use such methods but he could. This gave him an advantage.
As expected, Lu Wenyu won.
As long as he did not encounter a disciple at the eighth level of Qi cultivation and won another round, he would be able to fulfill his wish and become an inner sect disciple.
After watching for a day, Zhang Chen could be said to have benefited greatly. He had gained a lot of knowledge, but he felt a little disappointed.
He originally wanted to see if there were any disciples who could use techniques like him so that he could learn how to use them from them.
However, other than Blood Burst Technique, he did not see any other techniques he knew.
The next day, Zhang Chen arrived at the square early in the morning to secure a good spot.
The competition among 300 outer disciples would take five days to determine the winners.
After that, Zhang Chen did not miss a single day and watched every match.
While cultivation was important, the means of protecting oneself in battle were also essential.
He couldn’t leave the Blood God Sect right now, and watching the inner sect disciples’ competition was the only way to gain combat experience.
Although he could not fight personally, watching others fight could still teach him something.
Soon, five days passed, and 100 people were promoted to inner sect disciples.
Lu Wenyu was lucky and became an inner sect disciple, even though he only came in 92nd.
Zhang Chen didn’t care about these things and returned to his usual life.
He cultivated the demon blood and practiced techniques every day. Other than sending blood essence to Li Mumin and collecting demon blood, he rarely left the cave abode.
It wasn’t until half a year later that Zhang Chen broke this routine because he needed to complete this year’s sect mission.
This time, he was assigned to practice alchemy.
In fact, he was just a laborer, constantly supplying spiritual power to maintain the furnace fire, while someone else was actually practicing alchemy.
The sect missions were supposed to be randomly assigned, but there were also some behind-the-scenes manipulations.
If one did not have a background or didn’t bribe the internal affairs disciples with blood essence, one would be assigned difficult and dangerous missions.
The alchemy room was extremely hot, and the furnace fire burned fiercely. When one person’s spiritual power was depleted, another person would immediately take his place until the pill was made.
Although it was tough and tiring, it was also beneficial. Everyone could receive a blood pill that would restore their spiritual power.
It was said that this blood pill was refined from the blood of a Foundation Establishment demon beast. The fierce energy within it had been greatly weakened. As long as one did not eat too many at once, the side effects would be minimal.
As a top-grade spiritual root, Zhang Chen’s spiritual power recovered much faster than others, so he didn’t take the blood pill but saved it for later.
