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

"How could we not deal with him? This person is very strong. Even Zhang Fugui, who is at the fifth level of Body Refinement, was defeated. Zhang Hu's disappearance and Zhang Long's death are both related to this guy." Zhang Tao's eyes were sharp. If these Zhang family disciples wanted to rise in the outer sect, they had to take this opportunity to get a good ranking. Otherwise, they would be alone in the outer sect.

Several promising young talents of the Zhang family have either died or gone missing. But to say they've gone missing is just self-deception.

People who go missing are most likely in grave danger, but they are reluctant to admit it.

"This piece of trash dares to injure my Zhang family disciple. If we don't cripple this guy, how will my Zhang family disciple maintain his standing in the Qingyun Sect in the future?" Zhang Tao said coldly.

"Next, I'll discuss this with a few of my senior brothers from the outer sect. This time, we absolutely must cripple this guy."

Chen Huai'an closed his eyes to rest in an open space, waiting for the next competition to begin. He had no idea that the Zhang family had already begun to target him.

In fact, when Chen Huai'an participated in the challenge, he knew that once he stepped onto the stage, the conflict between him and the Zhang family would become irreconcilable. The Zhang family would definitely try to kill him, and the conflict between them would turn from covert to overt.

As long as Chen Huai'an wants to rise to prominence on Zayi Peak, conflict with the Zhang family is inevitable.

Chen Huai'an was ready; only in this way could he rise rapidly within the Qingyun Sect.

In fact, not all the disciples of the Miscellaneous Service Peak are abnormal geniuses like Chen Huai'an.

Of the tens of thousands of miscellaneous disciples of the Qingyun Sect, less than 10% have cultivated to the late stage of the Body Refinement Realm. Not everyone has a heaven-defying opportunity.

Many people are just there to make up the numbers, to do menial tasks and work like beasts of burden; only a small number can stand out.

Among the miscellaneous disciples who entered the Qingyun Sect at the same time as Chen Huai'an, some had not yet broken through to the first level of the Body Refinement Realm. Only a very small number of disciples had reached the second level of the Body Refinement Realm.

Many people have to accumulate experience and persevere over time; otherwise, they simply cannot break through to higher levels.

"Congratulations, you've both advanced." Chen Huai'an knew from the radiant Liu Qiaogui and Li Fugui that they had both advanced.

"What's there to congratulate us on? We're just here to make up the numbers. At most, we'll be eliminated after two rounds." Liu Qiaogui suppressed his joy.

The battle was even more intense than he had anticipated; in order to win this first round, they had already revealed all their trump cards.

The next opponent will then make corresponding battle plans based on their intelligence.

At this moment, the advantages of those with powerful families become apparent.

Before you even step onto the stage, your opponents will have all the information they need. They will then make corresponding battle plans based on your preferred attack methods, which will greatly increase their chances of winning the battle.

"Chen Huai'an's opponent is a sixth-level Body Refinement cultivator named Xu Lin. Tell him that if he can cripple him in this battle, I can pay him ten low-grade spirit stones." Zhang Tao obtained the list of Chen Huai'an's opponents and offered them a large reward to deal with Chen Huai'an.

These disciples of cultivation families are extremely adept at using others to do their dirty work.

They didn't even need to lift a finger to cripple Chen Huai'an.

"Chen Huai'an, your opponent is named Xu Lin. He is at the sixth level of the mid-stage Body Refinement Realm. I heard that as long as you are crippled, you can get a reward of ten low-grade spirit stones." Liu Qiaogui returned from a stroll outside. His original intention was to find out information about his opponent. Unexpectedly, he found out that the Zhang family had bribed Chen Huai'an's opponent to harm him.

"Don't worry, in short, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. Some things are unavoidable, and since we can't avoid them, we should face them calmly." Chen Huai'an was quite composed.

If he were afraid of such a small trick, then there would be no point in him staying in the Qingyun Sect; he might as well pack his things and leave the mountain.

"That's true, but the Zhang family is clearly a sore loser. They're so damn despicable." Liu Qiaogui was still speechless.

If that's the case, who would dare to go all out in the challenge? If they win, the opponent will retaliate fiercely. If they get injured and their cultivation is destroyed, the little benefit they gain from risking their lives will probably not even be enough to heal their injuries. It's definitely a case of the input and output being disproportionate.

"Alright, don't worry about me. Get ready, it'll be your turn soon. This time, you must show the spirit of us water-carrying servants." Chen Huai'an smiled.

These people will only be stepping stones on his path of cultivation.

Chen Huai'an was incredibly calm, and his calmness stemmed from his own strength.

With his body refinement realm at the late stage, eighth level, Chen Huai'an was able to enter the top 500. No matter what tricks or methods the Zhang family played, Chen Huai'an could deal with them calmly. That was his confidence.

On the number eight arena, Xu Lin looked down at Chen Huai'an.

"So you're Chen Huai'an. I never expected you to be so valuable. The Zhang family is willing to pay ten low-grade spirit stones for me to cripple you."

"Are you a dog kept by the Zhang family?" Chen Huai'an raised his eyelids and said indifferently.

"Kid, you're asking for it! How dare you insult me!" Xu Lin, a tall young man, stared intently at Chen Huai'an, his face contorted with bulging veins.

"I'm cursing you. If you want to be a dog, you should be prepared to be one. You're like a prostitute trying to have your cake and eat it too, trying to have it both ways." Chen Huai'an smiled faintly.

Since they are enemies, there's nothing to talk about; let's just take action.

"Kid, if I don't cripple you today, I'm not surnamed Xu." After saying that, Xu Lin stopped looking at Chen Huai'an. With his strength at the peak of the sixth level of the mid-stage Body Refinement Realm, dealing with Chen Huai'an, who was only at the fifth level of the mid-stage Body Refinement Realm, was a piece of cake.

As soon as the referee finished speaking, Xu Lin swung his pair of broadswords at Chen Huai'an.

Xu Lin excels at using his willpower to break through physical force. He has an earth elemental root, so as long as he stands on the ground, he will have an inexhaustible source of power.

Similarly, Xu Lin's specialty is close-quarters combat. Even when he and Chen Huai'an go head-to-head, Xu Lin can still forcefully suppress Chen Huai'an.

Xu Lin's axe came crashing down on Chen Huai'an with earth-shattering force. Instead of swinging his wooden sword to meet it, Chen Huai'an rolled on the spot and dodged the axe blow.

If he tried to fight head-on, his wooden sword was no match for the opponent's broadsword. He had even planned to use this guy to practice his flaming sword technique.

"See? This guy is nothing but a clown in the face of absolute power. Guess how many times Xu Lin will kill him?" The Zhang family disciples looked at Chen Huai'an's movements on the stage with mocking expressions.

"This guy is as agile as a monkey. Although Xu Lin's strength is fierce and domineering, he can't even touch the hem of his opponent's clothes. Once the opponent is exhausted, the outcome of this battle is still unknown." Zhang Tao was watching the battle between Chen Huai'an and Xu Lin from below the stage, and he frowned.

Disciples at the Qi Refining Realm have already developed divine consciousness, which is the ability to project divine thoughts outward. To outsiders, the battle between Chen Huai'an and Xu Lin might seem like a spectacle, with Chen Huai'an likely to lose. However, they know that once Chen Huai'an finds a weakness in Xu Lin's defenses, Xu Lin will ultimately be the one to lose. It all comes down to who can hold out until the very end.

"So, Xu Lin is no match for Chen Huai'an? Then, to deal with this kid, would we need an expert at least at the seventh level of the late-stage Body Refinement realm to have a chance?" Several disciples of the Zhang family frowned.
