Chapter 794: Chapter 794: Turning Swords into Plowshares?
"Who said I’m dead?"
The voice sounded like a thunderclap, and the once noisy forbidden land entrance fell into dead silence in an instant.
Everyone’s gaze turned sharply towards the source of the voice, only to see a tall figure walking slowly, his garnts flying with a fierce montum.
That angular face bore a cold smile, and his right hand casually tossed a spiritual light-emitting Rootless Grass, tracing a beautiful arc against the setting sun.
"Impossible!" The third one let out a piercing scream, his pupils trembling violently: "You clearly got hit by my Bone Rot Poison, how can you still be alive? It’s impossible, impossible!"
He was very confident about his Bone Rot Poison, believing that Chen Nan would undoubtedly die. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that this guy would neutralize the ticulously concocted poison!
The scar-faced man’s scar twisted in terror, he staggered back two steps, as if he’d seen a ghost.
Zhao Kai’s expression changed for the first ti.
His narrow eyes squinted slightly, revealing a cold intent in his gaze.
Chen Nan’s gaze bypassed the crowd and fixed directly on Zhao Kai: "Senior Brother Zhao, sorry to disappoint you. Your three dogs don’t seem very effective!" With that, he showed a playful smile.
A commotion broke out on the scene.
The observing cultivators gasped, none of them expecting this unknown newcor to dare challenge Inner Sect Disciple Zhao Kai face to face!
"Interesting." Zhao Kai suddenly laughed: "Looks like I underestimated you."
He walked forward slowly, with each step, the montum of his body increased.
The pressure of the Foundation Establishnt Stage at the fifth level spread like a tide, causing the surrounding cultivators to change color and retreat.
"However." Zhao Kai’s voice turned cold all of a sudden, his gaze also flashed with astounding killing intent: "Do you think you can establish yourself in the Yuantian Sect like this?"
Chen Nan didn’t show the slightest fear, instead, he stepped forward in the face of the pressure, responding with neither humility nor arrogance: "Whether I can establish myself, let’s try and see, shall we?"
Instantly, the atmosphere on the scene beca tense, giving the sense of near asphyxiation.
Just at this confrontational mont, a stern voice suddenly rang out: "No private fights in the assessnt area!"
Liu Yan sohow appeared on the scene, with a wave of his sleeve, the air between the two of them solidified instantly.
The invisible pressure left everyone breathless.
Liu Yan turned to Chen Nan, a glimr of appreciation in his eyes: "You successfully obtained the Rootless Grass?"
"Reporting to senior, this junior has obtained the Rootless Grass!" Chen Nan respectfully presented the Spirit Grass.
Liu Yan took it and after checking, nodded with satisfaction: "Very well, you have passed the second round of the assessnt." He looked around, his voice loud: "All disciples who have obtained the Rootless Grass, gather at the main peak at morning ti for the final test tomorrow!"
Having said that, he gave Zhao Kai a aningful glance, then turned and left.
Zhao Kai’s expression was unpredictable, finally letting out a cold snort: "Let’s go." As he turned, he spoke in a voice only Chen Nan could hear: "This isn’t over."
Chen Nan watched Zhao Kai’s retreating back, the corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile. How could he not know, he had completely offended this Inner Sect Disciple. But the path of cultivation was inherently going against the heavens. If one were to be timorous, why cultivate at all?
The setting sun elongated his shadow to great lengths.
Tomorrow’s final test is the true trial.
And Zhao Kai’s revenge probably won’t wait too long.
But so what?
Chen Nan clenched his fist, feeling the surging True Qi within.
Since he chose this path, he had no intention of backing down.
The Yuantian Sect is just the first stop on his journey of cultivation!
------
Later, Chen Nan returned to the depths of the bamboo forest halfway up the mountain, sat cross-legged, and directly placed a Qi Gathering Pill into his mouth.
In an instant, the Qi Gathering Pill transford into a sweet liquid in his mouth, then turned into a torrent of surging Spiritual Power, rushing down through his ridians.
Chen Nan only felt the Dantian as if it were being scorched by fierce fire, and the ridians in his entire body were trembling violently.
"Such strong dicinal power!"
This was Chen Nan’s first ti taking elixirs, not daring to be negligent, he imdiately activated his Cultivation Technique to guide the violent Spiritual Power circulating in his body.
Soon, his clothes were soaked with sweat, white steam emanated from the top of his head, and the surrounding bamboo leaves moved without wind, making rustling sounds.
The Spiritual Power within him accumulated more and more, and the Qi Sea in the Dantian began to churn violently.
Chen Nan gritted his teeth, veins popped on his forehead, he could clearly feel his cultivation was breaking through a certain critical point.
"Break through for !"
With a low shout, a crisp cracking sound ca from within his body, as if so barrier had been smashed.
The originally violent Spiritual Power suddenly beca docile, flowing cheerfully through his ridians.
Chen Nan opened his eyes, a gleam flashing in his eyes, his entire aura transford.
"Foundation Establishnt Stage Layer Two!"
He felt the Spiritual Power in his body that was nearly twice as thick as before, and couldn’t help but reveal a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Now, he was confident that even if he faced those three Foundation Establishnt Stage Layer Two cultivators again, he could resolve the battle within ten moves.
He worked hard to calm his emotions, beginning to regulate his breathing in ditation.
The newly broken-through realm needed ti to stabilize, or else it could easily lead to an unstable foundation.
As True Qi circulated in his body, he was pleasantly surprised to discover that his ridians had widened considerably compared to before, and the flow speed of True Qi had also increased significantly.
"Looks like the result of this breakthrough is better than expected."
When the last trace of True Qi returned to the Dantian, Chen Nan slowly stood up.
He stretched his muscles and bones, and with a casual wave of his hand, a sharp True Qi shot out, neatly cutting a green bamboo several feet away.
"Not bad, the power has increased by at least fifty percent!"
Just then, light footsteps ca from outside the forest.
Chen Nan frowned, his expression becoming serious, as he sensed a strong aura approaching!
"Junior Brother Chen, no need to be nervous, I co here with no ill intent." Zhao Kai’s figure walked out slowly from between the bamboo shadows, with a gentle smile on his face, looking like a different person from before.
"I wonder what brings Senior Brother Zhao here?" Chen Nan was full of vigilance, not believing Zhao Kai’s words at all.
"Junior Brother Chen is indeed a genius, I didn’t expect you to step into the second layer of the Foundation Establishnt Stage so quickly!" Zhao Kai smiled and waved: "I co this ti, hoping to turn enmity into friendship, after all, there is no deep hatred between us."
Saying this, he took out an exquisite jade box from his sleeve and gently opened it, revealing an elixir pill emitting rich Spiritual Energy: "This is the Yuan Condensing Pill that Foundation Establishnt cultivators dream of, its effect surpasses that of the Qi Gathering Pill, it can help you stabilize your realm."
Chen Nan sneered: "Senior Brother Zhao suddenly being so generous, it’s quite overwhelming!"
Zhao Kai sighed, appearing sincere: "Previously, I underestimated Junior Brother Chen. With your talent, you will achieve great things in the future. Rather than bearing grudges, why not form a connection?"
Although his face was full of sincerity, and his words convincing, Chen Nan’s sixth sense keenly told him that not a single punctuation mark in this guy’s words could be trusted!
