Chapter 107: Lan Mings Strength (1/2)
”So, did you find out?” Lan Ming walked towards the arena and asked.
Behind him, a humanoid figure covered with completely dark energy appeared. Slowly, the dark energy disappeared, and the man standing behind was none other than the short and chubby sidekick of his.
”They are indeed hiding their strength. It seems they are much more powerful but they seem to be hiding it from the entire sect. So, I highly doubt that they will show it in front of the sect.” The chubby young man nodded his head and answered.
A smile appeared on Lan Ming's face. He touched his chin and asked, ”What about Zhao Tan?”
”No, he doesn't seem to be hiding the strength. Though his strength is not weak. So, what do you plan to do?” The chubby young man asked.
Lan Ming smirked and spoke ”I took six years to practice the Heaven Devouring Star Swallowing Technique. I might have been behind many others but I will be able to surpass them in no time. But, what about you? How is your comprehension of Celestial God Scripture?”
”Hmm! I have completed the basics. I believe I will be able to condense the Celestial Veins which will improve my cultivation speed in a few days. And, my comprehension over Nine Hell Shadow Technique has reached the Perfect.” The chubby young man proudly spoke as he released the dark energy around him.
”Haha! That's good but don't let arrogance consume you. Tian Su, even your name has heaven on it. Celestial has the arrogance to their bones, so control yourself.” Lan Ming nodded his head and spoke with a serious tone.
”Don't worry, Brother Lan. I am not celestial. Tian Su was the name given by you when you picked me up. I will never get arrogant just because of the name.” Tian Su shook his head and spoke with seriousness on his face.
Lan Ming patted his shoulder and shook his head ”I know you are not born in the celestial family. But you possess Prime Celestial Physique which is the top physique of the Celestial Family. This is the reason why I picked you up.”
”Because I had Celestial God Scripture that only the person with your physique can cultivate. But, I believe you won't let the arrogance enter your head.”
Tian Su nodded his head and both of them walked towards the arena.
After reaching the arena, they saw the head elder making a speech over the stage.
”Congratulation to everyone who has successfully reached the third stage. Unlike the previous stage, this stage has taken one part from stage one and another part from stage two.”
”Everyone in the third stage will have a chance to challenge others before they lose to their opponent. And, if you are challenged by someone you can refuse three times. After the third refusal, any more refusal will disqualify you. And, you can also challenge someone three times.”
”And, before we start the battle. Let's mourn for the death of Elder Yan. He has been a referee for two stages but last night, his life talisman was destroyed showing his death. Unfortunately, we couldn't find his trial nor we could find who killed him.”
”And, two days ago, another elder of our sect died. Most of you who have been to the Enlightenment Room must have seen him. We haven't been able to locate his trial either nor have we found the culprit. This is why we want to end the third stage today and put our forces in the investigation of these deaths.”
At this moment, many disciples were confused and shocked by the death of two elders except for three people. They were Guo Min, Guan Xing, and Qin. All of them knew the inside story of this. So, they were shocked.
After that, everyone mourned for the dead elders. But, soon the third stage battle started as the head elder took the role of the referee. Out of forty disciples, Qin, Guan Xing, the cold girl, and the man with a spear were least challenged.
It wasn't surprising since everyone knew their strength. But, few disciples were confused when they saw other disciples challenging Lan Ming one after another. At first, they didn't understand but later they found the reason.
Only when you have a certain strength, you can feel his strength otherwise he is like a normal human. But, Lan Ming proved his strength, after and after again.
His Heaven Devouring Star Swallowing is not just a qi cultivation technique but also a body cultivation technique. It has the power to devour anything that has spiritual qi and use it for two purposes which were Qi Cultivation and Body Cultivation.
At this moment, his body cultivation was Elephant Body Realm just like Qin. But, Qin is at the peak of Elephant Body Realm while he has only reached the Elephant Body Realm a few days ago. When he showed his strength, everyone was shocked especially some of the members of his family.
