Chapter 132: Lightning Technique (1/2)

After the third round of the Martial Competition, only 34 Qi Refinement realm disciples remained.

These 34 people could already be considered elites among the young disciples. Basically, everyone had tricks up their sleeves, and not many of them were really weak.

The following competition would only be even more intense, and Jiang Li's next opponent would be that lightning attribute disciple.

Jiang Li glanced at the other party and noticed that he was looking at him as well. A strand of lightning flickered on the other party's palm, and then he made a gesture to Jiang Li as if he was certain that Jiang Li would be defeated.

Lightning was an extreme yang attribute, so it was very effective against evil things in the world.

Not to mention ghosts and zombies, even ordinary ghostwood trees in the natural world would often be killed by lightning due to the characteristics of gathering yin qi.

Jiang Li, who had the Wood-Yin attribute, cultivated the Ghost Wood Art. In the laws of the cultivation world, it was roughly to the extent where he was ”twice as weak to lightning”.

At that time, Jiang Li still remembered the incident in Cloud Stream City where he was nearly struck to death by the tribulation lightning. He did not know how powerful that person's lightning was.

Jiang Li was slightly concerned about this, but he was not too worried.

If the other party was at the Foundation Establishment realm, Jiang Li might be a little troubled. However, if he was only at the Qi Refinement realm, even if this was a natural enemy, it would be very difficult to pose a substantial threat to him.

After leaving the venue, Elder He held a celebration party in the Demon Vanquishing Hall.

This was because, up until now, regardless of whether it was the Qi Refinement realm or the Foundation Establishment realm, the number of disciples in the Demon Vanquishing Hall was the largest.

Especially in the Qi Refinement realm arena, eight of the 34 people were from the Demon Vanquishing Hall. This number could be said to be outstanding among the halls.

This also allowed Elder He to feel proud in front of the elders in the Long Clear Hall.

However, Elder He also knew that once the next round passed, this number would probably plummet.

After all, the disciples of the Demon Vanquishing Hall were experienced in combat because they carried out missions to subdue demons all year round. They were skilled in using their Dao techniques, so they were slightly stronger than the disciples of the other halls.

They had given their blood and sweat to achieve this. The advantage was that their average strength was higher than the rest.

However, the cultivation world was not a place where hard work could change everything.

Talent, resources, and artifacts were far more important than hard work.

Although it sounded cruel, this was the truth. When the disciples of the Demon Vanquishing Hall faced other ordinary disciples, they naturally held the advantage without any reason.

But as the martial arts competition progressed, the remaining people were all elites, the treasures of the other halls.

In comparison, the resources and treatment that ordinary inner sect disciples of the Demon Vanquishing Hall could receive was definitely inferior to theirs.

Therefore, Elder He did not ask for too much from them. He very happily set the celebration party to today to let everyone enjoy in advance.

He would leave the rest to the geniuses. In any case, the Demon Vanquishing Hall was definitely going to take the first place in the Qi Refinement realm.

Regarding this, Elder He spoke kindly to Jiang Li, saying that if he did not obtain first place, Elder He would personally come and treat his broken leg.

As for why Jiang Li would have a broken leg, Elder He only left a mysterious smile.

The celebratory banquet ended very late and was very fulfilling. When Jiang Li returned to his small courtyard, he was in a drunken state.

It was just that the few of them had relatively faster metabolism. Otherwise, wouldn't this affect the battle the next day?

After Jiang Li skillfully activated the array formation, he pressed the status for five seconds and his drunken state was removed. His slightly dizzy mind instantly became clear.

After entering the chamber, he sat down cross-legged and connected to the parallel mind of the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak.

Then, pieces of text appeared in his mind without any obstruction.

That was what he had learned from the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak.

One of them was a wood attribute sword cultivation method that he had spent a lot of effort to obtain from that junior brother of his from the Wood Element Peak.

Jiang Li did not have a Sword Heart, so it was naturally impossible for him to change his cultivation method.

However, the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak originated from the ancient Shu Mountain Immortal Sect. Some of the individual chapters in their cultivation methods and some of the secret techniques of Shu Mountain were still worth studying for Jiang Li.

However, the Shu Mountain Sword Technique was honest and peaceful. It was very rare to have sacrificial techniques. This made Jiang Li somewhat disappointed.

After handing a few more missions to his parallel mind, Jiang Li had a rare nap.

In his sleep, his consciousness seemed to have turned into a ghost again, floating around the courtyard and playing the treasure hunt game.

...

The next morning, Jiang Li and his senior brothers arrived at the venue.

He leaped onto the stage skillfully. There were many more ravines on the stage. It seemed that the battle situation these few days was quite intense.

”Demon Vanquishing Hall, Jiang Li. Senior Brother, please enlighten me.”

Jiang Li stood on the stage and remained polite.

”Foreign Affairs Hall, my name is Ma Donggui. I don't dare to enlighten you. Senior Brother, I'll apologize to you in advance.”

That disciple with the lightning attribute spiritual root had dark and rough skin. When he smiled, he opened his mouth wide, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. At a glance, he looked like an honest farmer. However, the lightning flashes in his hands from time to time still showed how extraordinary he was.

”Senior Brother, why do you say that?” Jiang Li gave him face and replied.

”I've seen your battle. Junior Brother Jiang Li, you're indeed very strong. If you didn't encounter me, you would definitely be able to smoothly enter the next round of the martial arts competition.”

”That's why I have to apologize to you in advance.”

This senior brother might look very honest and spoke politely, but he was really good at posturing.

”I see. Senior Brother doesn't need to worry too much about this. The next round of the Martial Competition is a ranking challenge. If Senior Brother loses today, there's still a chance for the next round.”

Jiang Li comforted his opponent like this, indicating that he would definitely lose.

There was no harm in shooting their mouths off. The senior sister of the Rejuvenation Hall who was standing at the side had already heard so much these days that she was already numb to it.
