You think I have mixed spiritual roots? I became an immortal through a spirit gourd, so what are you

"So what if we're in the same group? Our cultivation levels are different. We'll probably be eliminated before we even meet. If we can't get a good ranking this year, we'll definitely get a good ranking next year with experience." Chen Huai'an was also a little excited.

If Chen Huai'an simply didn't want to do menial tasks, there was absolutely no need for him to participate in this challenge.

His biggest worry was that he lacked the strength to possess valuable items, and he understood the principle that "possessing a treasure invites trouble." A good ranking within the sect would provide monthly cultivation resources, avoid arguments, and prevent him from being targeted by malicious individuals.

Even if he's being targeted, it will intimidate some petty people. Even if they want to take action, they'll have to think twice and see if they have the strength to snatch things from him.

"Huh? You registered as having the fourth level of Body Refinement, but now you're actually at the fifth level?" The disciple who registered was just asking about the challenger's strength as usual, since some people had broken through during this period. However, when he saw Chen Huai'an's information, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

If Chen Huai'an had a high-grade single spiritual root, or even a mid-grade single spiritual root, he wouldn't be as surprised as he is now. This guy has a mixed spiritual root of the five elements, but he's just a piece of trash who hasn't even reached the low-grade level. Yet, in just one month, his cultivation has broken through another level.

"Could this guy have some powerful backing, or some incredible stroke of luck?"

Although the registered handyman disciple had some doubts, he did not show them, but silently remembered Chen Huai'an.

He felt it necessary to pay close attention to this useless, menial disciple.

Such a talented person must have received tremendous opportunities if he didn't have someone supporting him.

In the cultivation world, cultivation resources are highly sought after. No one would complain about having too many cultivation resources, especially as one progresses through different realms and requires even more resources.

"Congratulations, junior brother! Since you broke through temporarily, your opponent is only at the fourth level of the mid-stage Body Refinement Realm. You're guaranteed to win this round of the promotion competition," the registering disciple said to Chen Huai'an with a smile.

"Thank you for your kind words, senior brother." Chen Huai'an smiled.

With the opponents arranged, all that's left is to wait for the referee.

This time, the referees weren't the menial disciples, but outer disciples who had reached the Qi Refining Realm. Having these Qi Refining Realm experts as referees ensured their safety, preventing both sides from fighting to the death and causing injuries or fatalities.

"Brother Chen, he's out. Your opponent is a master at the fifth level of Body Refinement." Liu Qiaogui, the know-it-all, suddenly approached Chen Huai'an, his face full of suspicion.

"A master at the fifth level of Body Refinement?" Chen Huai'an looked completely astonished.

When he went up to register just now, the disciple registering him told him that he had made a breakthrough at the last minute and that his opponent was at the fourth level of the Body Refinement Realm. How come in the blink of an eye, his opponent has become at the fifth level of the Body Refinement Realm?

"What exactly happened? This shouldn't be an accident. I'm being targeted. Who's targeting me?" Chen Huai'an realized that Zhang Biao was dead, but his crisis was not over. The Zhang family or the Zhao family had not given up on targeting him.

However, this was both within his expectations and beyond his expectations.

The other party's targeting is far too obvious.

If he hadn't broken through, he would have had almost no chance of winning against a fifth-level Body Refinement cultivator at the fourth level of the mid-stage Body Refinement realm. He would probably have been eliminated in the first round, and his ambition to enter the top 500 would have been a joke.

"Sigh, I heard that the opponents arranged for the first round were based on the cultivation level of the first registration. I thought that since you broke through, your opponent in the first round would be a cultivation level lower than yours, and you would definitely win this match. I never expected that your opponent would be someone at the fifth level of the Body Refinement Realm. However, I believe that with your strength, you will definitely win this match." Liu Qiaogui couldn't help but sigh.

"Xiao Chen is very strong. He will definitely win this match and advance smoothly," Li Fugui chimed in from the side.

The ratio of 100 to 1 in the top 500 is somewhat unrealistic, but a ratio of 50 to 1 is actually possible.

This time, only four disciples were selected to carry water. Among the other four, there was an older disciple who had been on the Miscellaneous Disciples Peak for several years, but he was too weak and lacked the fighting spirit to sign up.

The four of them were quite familiar with each other and gathered together.

If they can make it into the top 500, it will be an encouragement for these disciples who carry water.

"Alright, regardless of whether we can win or not, we should do our best to give it our all." After saying that, Chen Huai'an didn't linger and stepped onto the number nine arena.

"So you are Chen Huai'an. I didn't expect you to have broken through to the fifth level of Body Refinement. However, you will definitely lose today." Zhang Fugui looked at Chen Huai'an as he stepped onto the stage and spoke coldly.

"I haven't offended you, have I? This is a sect challenge, it's a friendly competition, you don't need to be so hostile towards me," Chen Huai'an said calmly to the other party.

This man's surname is Zhang, and his given name is Fugui. He is obviously related to the Zhang family. At this moment, he is acting arrogantly. He must be acting on the orders of the Zhang family to test him or to target him.

Regardless of what the other party knows, he has already broken ties with the Zhang family. If he wins, the Zhang family will definitely continue to target him, and if he loses, the Zhang family will not let him go either. So, no matter whether he wins or loses, the Zhang family will come looking for trouble, so he has no need to be timid.

Chen Huai'an refused to believe that the Zhang family would send a disciple at the Qi Refining Realm to cause him trouble.

"Kid, you're a new disciple this year. To break through to the fifth level of the mid-stage Body Refinement Realm so quickly, it's impossible that you have absolutely no problems. You want me to let you go? That's not impossible. Hand over the opportunity you obtained, and I can guarantee I won't bother you again. Otherwise, every time I see you, I'll deal with you and make sure you can't move an inch on the Miscellaneous Service Peak." Zhang Fugui stared intently at Chen Huai'an.

He figured out that Chen Huai'an must have a secret. Whether it was because of his family or because of his own reasons, he would deal with Chen Huai'an, seize his opportunity, and not only that, he would also receive additional benefits from his family elders.

"If you want my opportunity, then step over my dead body." Chen Huai'an didn't want to waste words with the other party. If it was going to be a fight, then so be it. Villains die from talking too much. He didn't want to expose himself by saying a single unnecessary word.

"Kid, you're asking for trouble. Today I'll show you what I'm capable of." Zhang Fugui was just an ordinary disciple. He had to work hard to seize opportunities. If he could severely injure this good-for-nothing today, he would gain corresponding benefits.

As Zhang Fugui was speaking, he took out a long sword from his waist and, without saying a word, slashed at Chen Huai'an.

"Haha... Is this supposed to be hilarious? Is this guy so poor that he can't even afford a decent weapon? He's using a wooden sword. Does he want to die?" Chen Huai'an drew the long sword from his back, which turned out to be a wooden sword. The audience immediately burst into laughter.
