Chapter 141: Double Reward (1/2)

Gazing in the direction of the first ring, Jiang Li stared intently.

By this time, the dust had already dissipated and more elders had arrived. They had not expected this to happen.

As for the disciple of the Heaven and Earth Hall, he stood there indifferently, as if waiting for the expected cheers and praises.

However, the cheers did not come, there was only the stern reprimand of a few elders.

Jiang Li's hearing was far better than his vision, so he could still hear the voices over there clearly.

The content of the conversation was not difficult to guess. They were basically blaming the other party for how he could be so heavy-handed towards his fellow disciple. He should quickly put away his artifact and so on.

From the words of the elders, Jiang Li learned the name of that disciple from the Heaven and Earth Hall.

The surname was too long, but the given name should be ”Karla”.

This kind of name that was more like syllables should be the style of the variant humans.

He did not expect that the disciple who occupied the first ring of the Foundation Establishment realm was actually from a variant race.

The cultivation world was vast and flourishing with humans. There were all kinds of strange-looking and eccentric variant races, and they were not rare to begin with. Jiang Li had seen quite a few of them in the Immortal Ascension Pavilion's team, but the bulk of the people were undoubtedly still human.

However, the various races with fewer numbers and less developed culture did not live well among the humans in the Great Mountain Region.

This was especially true in the eyes of many countries. The variant races were not classified in detail for them. There were still many uncivilized tribes among the variant races.

This was also why most humans believed that the variant humans were savage and unreasonable existences. Naturally, they looked down on them from the bottom of their hearts.

Even when they entered the cultivation world, they would often suffer some bias.

In the Great Mountain Region, some sects were actually unwilling to accept outsiders as disciples. Even if they did, these disciples would most likely be pushed aside.

However, this variant race disciple, Karla, was able to enter the Heaven and Earth Hall, so it could be seen that his talent was extraordinary.

A dark look flashed across Karla's face, but he did not flare up. His rationality told him not to act rashly at this time.

He formed hand seals and struck the mountain peak. Immediately, it floated up and slowly shrank before finally landing in his hand.

On the arena that was smashed by the mountain peak, a flat and huge hole appeared.

The surrounding disciples could not help but suck in a cold breath. They were all secretly thinking if they could escape from such an attack.

In the hole, a metal artifact that looked like the body of a frying pan was stuck to the ground.

However, it was almost impossible to see its original appearance.

At this moment, the nearby disciples cried out in surprise. From the gap between the ”frying pan” and the stage, a stream of blood suddenly flowed out.

The two elders stepped forward and pulled away the metal. There was a small pit below, and a disciple whose flesh no longer had any semblance of a human was squeezed inside.

”He's still alive! Someone come quickly!”

A group of Rejuvenation Hall disciples swarmed up, and two elders quickly made their move.

Instantly, the water and wood spell techniques erupted with vitality and rose up to a height of at least 30 feet in the air.

Jiang Li swallowed his saliva and stared blankly.

Ignoring the rules of the battle, he flew out of the arena and rushed over.

Unfortunately, his flying speed was still too slow. By the time he arrived, the soaring vitality had already dissipated.

Jiang Li who had just arrived at the edge of the arena sighed with regret for a long time, feeling endless regret.

So close. He was so close.

A few disciples that were maintaining order at the side originally wanted to make Jiang Li leave, but when they saw Jiang Li being so sorrowful, they thought that he knew that injured disciple well, so they couldn't bear to drive Jiang Li away and instead went up to comfort him in a friendly manner.

”Junior Brother, don't be so sad. He's still alive. With the help of the elders of the Rejuvenation Hall, he should still be able to be saved.”

Jiang Li did not hear what that disciple said clearly, and he only nodded subconsciously before walking past them to the side of the injured disciple to watch.

He wanted to see if there was a chance to gain some buffs.

However, the first wave of high-intensity spell techniques was for the sake of saving the other party's life.

The injured person was squeezed by a huge external force, and all parts of his body were intertwined and deformed. If they continued to use spell techniques to accelerate his recovery, it would only make the abnormal tissues grow together. The future healing process would only be more troublesome.

Thus, after waiting for a long time, Jiang Li still did not see the Rejuvenation Hall unleash their spell techniques.

What the cultivators of the Rejuvenation Hall had to do now was protect the other party's core meridians with all their might. As long as he did not die, they could bring him back to the Rejuvenation Hall for treatment. He could definitely be saved.

They were busy surrounding the injured, and it was not good for Jiang Li to go up and disturb them.

He circled around the sunken area. While he was surprised by the terrifying might of the mountain peak's magic artifact, he also sighed with emotion at how ruthless the other party was.

Jiang Li picked up the artifact that had been completely deformed and destroyed.

He studied it carefully and utilized the limits of his imagination. Only then did he barely guess the original appearance of the artifact.

This thing that was turned into scrap metal should have been a huge bell.

Judging from the material, Jiang Li roughly determined the grade of this thing when it was intact. It should be low-grade Profound-rank.

However, such a treasure had been deformed to such an extent by the strange mountain.

He looked at the traces on the stage.

When that disciple faced the mountain peak, his actions were very decisive. While using the artifact given by his master to defend, he also decisively dug a hole.

Only then did he leave some room for himself before the final collision.

”Senior Sister Qi Yu, how are his injuries?”

A few minutes later, the disciples of the Rejuvenation Hall used their spiritual qi to carry the injured and were about to leave.

Jiang Li hurriedly grabbed Senior Sister Qi Yu and asked her about the situation.

”His life is saved. It's fine if his body is injured, but his Dao Foundation has been severely damaged. It's hard to say if he can still cultivate in the future.”

With that, she followed the elder back to the Rejuvenation Hall.

With that kind of injury, they would have to reconnect his body like building blocks. It would naturally require a lot of manpower and effort.

That injured disciple dared to challenge the first ring of the Foundation Establishment realm, so he was naturally extremely confident in his strength.

In terms of overall strength, he should be ranked in the top three or four among the eleven people. This time, his Dao Foundation had been ruined. If he could not continue to cultivate in the future, it would be a pity.

Jiang Li glanced at Karla. The other party was still forcing a smile, but the viciousness and eerie darkness under his expression could almost freeze one's heart.

Because no one died in the end, Karla was not punished and could continue to participate in the martial arts competition.

But in his mind, if he won, everyone should cheer and scream for him.

That did not happen.

He did not think that his methods were ruthless, but he felt that it was all because of the other people's prejudices against him! It was all because he was a variant human!

Soon, the crowd dispersed. Under the work of several elders, the first arena was also repaired. The martial competition that had been paused for nearly an hour continued.

With the help of his Senior Brother from the Law Enforcement Hall, Qing Lie, Jiang Li had already proven his strength to the others. After two hours, he did not receive another challenge.

He himself flew to the second ring of the Foundation Establishment realm, wanting to advance further and challenge this higher ranking.

However, the dark horse Jiang Li finally encountered an insurmountable enemy here.

This senior brother looked ordinary and harmless, but his chain array formation was exquisite and profound. He advanced step by step in an intricate manner.

Due to the convenience of defending the ring, the other party had already begun setting up array formations after stepping onto the stage. After several rounds of fights, the entire ring had practically become his backyard.

Fighting him under such circumstances was simply a disadvantage to the extreme.

Although Jiang Li had talent in runes and array formations, after borrowing the array formation manual from Elder Lin Fengying, he had only looked at the cover and catalog. He had not even memorized it yet.

Therefore, he knew nothing about these strange arrangements in the ring. He brandished his iron fists and rampaged through the array formation. However, in the eyes of the outsiders watching the battle, he was just spinning in place.

That senior brother did not even cast a single spell technique. He had only relied on the might of the formation to torment Jiang Li.

On the other hand, a brilliant array formation did not even need to be set up on the ground. Jiang Li's intention to smash open the stage and forcefully break the formation was also foiled.

After failing several times in the end, Jiang Li could only obediently guard his third ring until the end of the martial competition.

It was worth mentioning that Shen Ruoshi, who was defeated by Jiang Li, went back to the arena in an injured state at the last moment.
