Chapter 284 Thirty-Six Strikes to Subdue Demons, Each Strike Stronger Than the Last (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Further Reading)
Inside the white alternate dimension.

This is the inner space of the Holy Son's Trial, a vast and boundless expanse.

There is food here, so you won't starve.

Clearly, the purpose of this Holy Son Trial is to allow people to pass the trial, not to imprison and kill them.

Qin Changge, Xiao Tianjue, Gu Changkong, and others, as the latest batch of outer disciples, were the strongest among them, receiving twenty-seven blows.

This result was really not impressive, so the senior disciples had little interest in these new disciples.

It can be said that these people were not taken seriously at all, except for Xiao Tianjue, who could be considered half a person.

Therefore, Xiao Tianjue took on the responsibility of gathering information. Whether for his own sake or for everyone else's, he had to get close to those senior disciples and build relationships with them.

Having finally figured out the situation, Xiao Tianjue returned to Qin Changge and Gu Changkong with the intelligence.

Qin Changge clasped his hands in greeting and asked, "Senior Brother Xiao, how is the situation now?"

Xiao Tianjue nodded, then snapped his fingers. With a "whoosh," a mansion appeared in the white alternate space, seemingly possessing everything one could need.

Qin Changge, Gu Changkong, and the others were all somewhat surprised by this scene.

Xiao Tianjue explained, "In this white alternate dimension, you can have whatever you want, including food."

Qin Changge and the others nodded; this was good news.

Xiao Tianjue continued, "The only thing you can boast about here is how many punches and blows you took from that gatekeeper."

Xiao Tianjue explained, "The most senior person here has been here for twenty years. The strongest person has taken thirty-five blows, which means that he only needs one more blow to pass the test."

At this moment, Qin Changge, Gu Changkong, and the others all nodded, indicating that they understood.

In other words, even if no new disciples come, these older disciples should be able to pass the Holy Son Trial and leave this place.

At this moment, Xiao Tianjue continued, "Of course, it's not that easy. Taking thirty-five blows or thirty-six blows makes no difference; the most important thing is to defeat the gatekeeper."

Xiao Tianjue said, "Among us, the one who took the most blows was twenty-seven, and the one who took the fewest was eighteen. So we were not accepted by those senior disciples. They gave up on us and thought we were not worth cultivating, mainly because their senior disciples were almost successful."

Qin Changge, Gu Changkong, and others all expressed their understanding.

If there weren't people strong enough to withstand thirty-five blows, perhaps these people could still be trained. But now that there are already people who have withstood thirty-five blows, they are no longer worth training, because someone will pass the test soon, and there's no need to waste time training Qin Changge and the others.

Xiao Tianjue said, "We have two choices. The first is to wait and wait for those veteran disciples to pass the Holy Son Trial; the second is to learn as much as we can."

Gu Changkong asked curiously, "What are we going to learn?"

There's obviously nothing here, so what's the point of learning?

Xiao Tianjue explained, "We can learn the Thirty-Six Demon-Subduing Staff Techniques."

At this moment, Qin Changge was somewhat surprised: "Is it the Thirty-Six Demon-Subduing Staffs used by that gatekeeper?"

Xiao Tianjue nodded and said, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle. Currently, all of us outer disciples are practicing the Thirty-Six Subduing Demon Staffs. Only by mastering the Thirty-Six Subduing Demon Staffs can we possibly defeat that gatekeeper."

Qin Changge frowned and said, "That gatekeeper is a projection, so he can't die? Even if you cut off his head, he won't die?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianjue hesitated and said, "I'm not sure about that. Currently, no one can withstand thirty-six blows from him. The highest number is only thirty-five, let alone cutting off his head."

Xiao Tianjue looked at Qin Changge curiously and asked, "Junior Brother Qin, why do you say that?"

Qin Changge shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

At this moment, Qin Changge had some doubts: was it true that the gatekeeper wouldn't die even if his head were cut off, or was there some other reason? However, he would soon have an answer. Since one could challenge the Holy Son Trial once a day, Qin Changge could easily find out the specifics by tomorrow.

Xiao Tianjue said, "I've also brought the training method for the Thirty-Six Demon-Subduing Staffs. Everyone, please take a look."

As he spoke, Xiao Tianjue handed a jade slip to Qin Changge, who refined the jade slip and then handed it to Gu Changkong. Gu Changkong then refined the jade slip and passed it on to others.

Clearly, they must study the Thirty-Six Staffs of Subduing Demons. Whether they learn from it or just observe it, they need to have a clear understanding of the Thirty-Six Staffs of Subduing Demons before they can possibly defeat the gatekeeper.

At this moment, Qin Changge practiced the Thirty-Six Demon-Subduing Staffs and found that there was no method of decapitation and immortality in it. Or was the Thirty-Six Demon-Subduing Staffs just the attack ability of that gatekeeper, and actually had a hidden resurrection ability?

Qin Changge shook his head. It seemed that the Holy Son Trial was not as simple as it appeared.

Those senior disciples who think they're close to success after enduring thirty-five blows are probably celebrating too soon. Qin Changge couldn't help but think that if these outer disciples thought they'd win after enduring thirty-six blows, but ended up cutting off the gatekeeper's head while the gatekeeper was still alive, that would be interesting.

Of course, this is not good news for Qin Changge.

If no one passes the Holy Son Trial, Qin Changge will be unable to leave and will have to stay here for a long time.

Qin Changge thought for a moment, then opened the system panel and began allocating points.

With 500 witness points, Qin Changge mastered the Thirty-Six Demon-Subduing Staff Techniques to perfection, instantly becoming a master of staff techniques.

Qin Changge discovered that the Thirty-Six Demon-Subduing Strikes were indeed extremely powerful, with each strike stronger than the last. No wonder so many outer disciples couldn't withstand the thirty-six strikes.

Of course, Qin Changge has now mastered the Thirty-Six Demon-Subduing Staff Techniques to perfection, which means that Qin Changge can fully utilize the Thirty-Six Demon-Subduing Staff Techniques.

In other words, none of the outer disciples can withstand Qin Changge's thirty-six blows.

Qin Changge was ready and planned to challenge the gatekeeper the next day to see why the gatekeeper was still alive.

At this moment, a veteran disciple arrived in front of the mansion that Qin Changge and Xiao Tianjue had materialized.

This man, named Leng Qianshan, said to Xiao Tianjue, "It won't be long before Senior Brother Bai can take us out of here, so shouldn't you express your gratitude? After all, the greater your contribution, the faster Senior Brother Bai might be able to take you out."

Leng Qianshan said this, and Xiao Tianjue, Qin Changge and the others frowned upon hearing it.

Xiao Tianjue asked, "Senior brother, what do you mean?"

Leng Qianshan stated directly, "You need to contribute some cultivation resources."

Qin Changge, Xiao Tianjue, and the others all frowned.

It's important to understand that while this white alternate dimension can manifest anything, cultivation resources are finitely limited. If these resources are given to the veteran disciples, Qin Changge and the others will have none left, and they don't know how long they'll have to stay in this white alternate dimension.

Now that the resources have been given to these veteran disciples, they've been left with nothing.

Xiao Tianjue shook his head and said, "It would be good if Senior Brother Leng knew that we had only been in the Primordial Holy Land for a month and didn't have many cultivation resources. If you want to express your gratitude, it would be better if you senior brothers took us out first."

Xiao Tianjue politely declined.

Obviously, whether or not they can be taken out of the country is still far from certain.

We'll have to wait until we get them out of here before we can talk about payment.

Moreover, passing the Holy Son Trial is only for their own benefit. What does it mean to say it's for Qin Changge and the others?
You need to find a good reason to want something good.

At this moment, Qin Changge and the others all shared the same idea.

Seeing this, Leng Qianshan snorted and said, "Very well, I will tell Senior Brother Bai what you have to say, and he will make a fair judgment then."
