Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 59 Challenge
Principal Wang and Teacher Zou took a sip of the spiritual tea, closed their eyes and enjoyed the spiritual pleasure brought by the spiritual tea entering their bodies.

Li Zhen was not like them. He drank all the spiritual tea in the cup in one gulp.

It wasn't that he was being rude, but his body instinctively desired the tea after smelling its fragrance, and he drank it all in one gulp.

As the spiritual tea entered his body, it turned into spiritual energy that flowed into his whole body. The 'Seventeenth Edition of the Basic Qi Training Method' started to work automatically, gathering the whole body's spiritual energy into his Dantian.

After a hundred breaths, the spiritual energy in Li Zhen's body finally calmed down. He looked up and saw Principal Wang and Teacher Zou looking at him with smiles.

Feeling a sense of fullness in his dantian, Li Zhen controlled his identity bracelet and his information appeared on his retina.

"

Name: Li Zhen (male)
Age: 12
Realm: Second level of Qi training

灵根：木21.22、水20、金20、火20、土16、雷19
Ectoplasm: 1
Spiritual power: 30
Physical body: Level 34 (100/)

"

His spiritual power reached 30 points. It would have taken him dozens of days to reach this total spiritual power, but now it was achieved directly with just one cup of spiritual tea.

In fact, if he had not intentionally suppressed the urge to break through, he might have already broken through to the third level of Qi training.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to break through, but for a breakthrough at this level, it’s better to calculate the success rate of the breakthrough through a simulator first to reduce the possibility of failure.

"Is it because your cultivation has improved? Drinking the first cup of spiritual tea can help a cultivator in the early stages of Qi training save more than a month of cultivation time!" Principal Wang explained with a smile.

"Will this spiritual tea no longer have this effect in the future?" Li Zhen asked Principal Wang as he looked at the spiritual tea leaves in the cup that had lost their spirituality.

"It's just that the effect is not that strong. From now on, a cup of spiritual tea is equivalent to the effect of several days of practice. It is not as good as high-quality spiritual pills that assist practice, but it has the advantage of not producing pill poison. Spiritual tea also has the effect of slowly improving spirits!" Principal Wang waved his hand in reply.

In fact, even though Principal Wang has a high status in Yunxi County, first-grade high-quality spiritual tea is not so easy to obtain.

Not to mention the first-grade superior spiritual tea, even the first-grade inferior spiritual tea, Yunxi County’s quota is extremely small.

The reason why I took out the first-grade premium spiritual tea to entertain Li Zhen today was to focus on training Li Zhen.

Now, every improvement in Li Zhen’s cultivation can increase his chances of winning in the school challenge.

"Teacher Zou told me that your swordsmanship has reached a high level. I never expected that a swordsmanship genius like you would appear in No. 2 Middle School. The school has decided to let you join the challenge team and take up a spot!" Principal Wang continued.

Li Zhen was stunned. He had just learned about the school challenge from Director Zhang yesterday and was still thinking about how to get a place in the school challenge. He didn't expect that the school was already prepared.

"Thank you, Principal. I will work hard to bring honor to our school!" Li Zhen bowed and promised.

"The school challenge will start in March next year. There will be three official members and one alternate member. Your participation has been confirmed!" Principal Wang said with a smile without further explanation.

The purpose of allowing Li Zhen to participate this year is to allow him to gain competition experience and lay a solid foundation for participating in school challenge competitions in the future.

"For formal members of the school's challenge, the school will provide them with cultivation-assisting elixirs and healing recovery elixirs. In addition, they can choose a mid-grade magic weapon to borrow from the school's arsenal!" Principal Wang continued.

The student identity information on Li Zhen’s identity bracelet also includes the identity of a formal contestant in the No. 2 Middle School Challenge.

Under the guidance of Teacher Zou, we went to the logistics department to receive ten medium-grade Qi-inducing pills, two medium-grade rejuvenation pills, and a Xingrui D13 long sword.

The Xingrui D13 long sword is similar in appearance to the Xingrui E07 long sword, but its quality has been upgraded to the first-grade mid-level quality.

Although the ownership of the Xingrui D13 long sword did not belong to Li Zhen, he was able to use the Xingrui D13 long sword during his study at No. Middle School.

The most important thing is that Li Zhen has a first-grade medium-quality long sword magic weapon.

With a first-grade mid-grade Xingrui D13 long sword hanging around his waist, Li Zhen entered the Yiqi Sword Hall.

When passing through the hall of the Yiqian Hall, he found that the number of monks in the Yiqian Hall today was far more than yesterday, and when he walked into the hall, these monks stopped what they were doing and looked at him.

"Li Zhen, do you dare to fight with me?" Teng Si stepped forward and saluted to Li Zhen with the long sword in his hand.

Li Zhen looked at him, then looked at the other monks in the hall.

He also knew that Teng Si had always looked down on him and looked down on the fact that he had been funded and invested by the Han family since he first started.

Teng Si received investment from the Han family because he was promoted to the fourth level of Qi training after entering high school and became a mid-stage Qi training cultivator. Teng Si, like Li Zhen, was invited by Han Wenqin. Han Wenqin obviously paid more attention to Li Zhen, which made Teng Si jealous.

In addition, there was a cultivator who had been instigating him, which made him stand up and challenge Li Zhen.

There are so many cultivators in the hall, why don't others challenge Li Zhen? Isn't it because they are worried about offending Han Wenqin, a direct descendant of the Han family?

Teng Si's identity is just right. Teng Si lacks social experience and is more easily deceived.

Li Zhen also realized that if he did not show some strength as a true disciple of the Yiqian Hall, he would have more trouble in the future.

"Since Senior Teng has invited me, I will obey his invitation!" Li Zhen replied with a smile.

At this time, Han Wenqin also arrived and saw the confrontation between Teng Si and Li Zhen.

She asked someone nearby and found out what happened, and she couldn't help but look unhappy.

But Teng Si challenged and Li Zhen accepted the challenge, and this matter could not be stopped.

Teng Si also saw the dissatisfaction in Han Wenqin's eyes. Only then did he come to his senses and realize how ridiculous it was to rashly challenge Li Zhen.

He gritted his teeth. Now that things had come to this point, he needed to defeat Li Zhen as quickly as possible to show his own value.

"Draw your sword!" he said to Li Zhen.

Li Zhen slowly drew out the Xingrui D13 long sword, held the sword in front of his chest and saluted, and Teng Si followed suit and saluted in return.

After both sides saluted, the battle officially began.

Relying on his higher level of cultivation, Teng Si infused a large amount of spiritual power into the sword in his hand. He was willing to use it to increase the power of the sword at the cost of quickly consuming the spiritual power.

He swept his sword, and the sword light empowered by spiritual power swept out, and the area in front of him was within the attack range of the sword light.

This is the advantage of having a high level of cultivation. Using powerful spiritual power to create large-scale attacks that suppress low-level cultivators, the effect of swordsmanship skills is reduced to a minimum.

Of course, if this kind of fighting method is used between cultivators of the same level, the opponent will seize the initiative.

The fourth level of Qi training versus the second level of Qi training, the difference in swordsmanship does not matter.

Just as he was thinking this, Li Zhen's figure in front of him suddenly disappeared from his sight. Then he felt a tightness in his chest and his body flew backwards.

He didn't understand what was happening until he fell to the ground.

The monks watching from the sidelines saw clearly that as soon as Teng Si launched his attack, Li Zhen ducked and dodged to Teng Si's left side. The long sword in Li Zhen's hand seemed to have a spirit and easily pierced through Teng Si's sword light, and the spine of the sword hit Teng Si's chest.

Teng Si was defeated in one move, and the hall fell into silence.

No one expected that the battle between Li Zhen and Teng Si would end so quickly, and that Li Zhen would win.

Although some cultivators present were not convinced that Li Zhen was the true disciple, they also knew that no matter what Li Zhen's current strength was, the combat power he had demonstrated had proved that Li Zhen was a swordsmanship genius, and his future achievements would be limitless.

No one would think of offending Li Zhen, a cultivator with a bright future.

"Teng Si, are you okay?" Lou Zichen and Teng Si are good friends. He stepped forward to check on Teng Si's condition.

He used his spiritual power to scan Teng Si's body and did not find any injuries. He also saw that Teng Si's eyeballs were moving constantly under his tightly closed eyelids.

"I'll take Teng Si to treat his injuries!" He understood that Teng Si was too ashamed to face everyone, so he lifted Teng Si up and said.

Li Zhen was just about to tell Lou Zichen that he didn't use much force in his previous attack, otherwise with his strength at the middle stage of the first level of physical training, he could have killed Teng Si on the spot with the spine of his sword.

He shook his head. Teng Si was not on the same level as him.

Although his Qi training is not as good as Teng Si's, in fact, his strength is comparable to Teng Si's. The middle stage of body training and the middle stage of Qi training are at the same level.

However, his swordsmanship was much stronger than Teng Si, and it was a close combat swordsmanship contest, so his advantage was magnified many times, and it was normal for him to crush Teng Si.

The battle with Teng Si made him clearly understand the strength comparison between himself and other students in the same school.
