Chapter 2245 - 2248: A Triumphant First Battle, Hidden Dangers Unfold

Clang!

As Li Yang's body hit the ground, landing heavily outside the Martial Arts Arena, the surrounding commotion seemed to instantly quiet down!

The Dragon Qi in the sky was still surging and selecting.

Qin Tian descended from the sky, landing in the Martial Arts Arena.

Meanwhile, in the distance, Li Yang was already clutching his chest, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

"Ugh..."

He glared at Qin Tian, gritting his teeth in hatred.

"You've lost."

Qin Tian smiled faintly, "Why couldn't you even withstand a single move from me?"

"Pfft!"

As these words were spoken, Li Yang felt turmoil in his chest, his whole body trembled, and finally he coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.

His complexion was terrible to behold!

In fact, he wasn't severely injured; he was just suppressed unintentionally by Qin Tian's Nine Dragon True Qi.

Thus, he wanted to rush back in for another fight with Qin Tian.

But he gave up.

Now that Li Yang was already outside the Martial Arts Arena, it meant defeat.

If he were to rush in to fight Qin Tian, he would openly break the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect's arena rules, and many of the Elders of Xuanyuan Immortal Sect were watching, having observed the whole process!

Originally intending to make a good impression, the outcome turned into a showcase for Qin Tian, unable to seek revenge!

Li Yang was furious, baring his teeth, unable to stop the blood from flowing from his mouth...

"Too strong!"

"This Qin Tian is so strange; his cultivation is clearly inferior to Li Yang's!"

"Indeed! This must be the power of surpassing ranks to kill."

"Surpassing ranks to kill? But Qin Tian defeated Li Yang, who was of a higher rank, with only one move—that's incredible..."

"His cultivation immortality potential is really good; no wonder Elder Wang Tianqing chose him as the chief Elder... Haha, he must have a long-term vision."

The crowd, coming to their senses, marveled at Qin Tian's display of power.

Qin Tian ignored these people, staring at Li Yang, "Dogs like you, best not appear before me again in the future!"

After speaking, he continued his way toward the Xuanyuan Book Pavilion.

"This Qin Tian is a bit strange..."

"Haha, being able to surpass ranks to defeat opponents is interesting."

"Earlier, I thought we could ignore him, but now it seems his talent is good, and with Wang Tianqing, that madman, as his master, it appears we must take him seriously."

The Elders, having witnessed Qin Tian's performance against Li Yang, all stroked their beards, implying much.

Especially Mo Ziyang, pursing his lips, saying, "Him taking a disciple out of the blue, what's the meaning of this? Does he intend to rise again? Humph... Surviving a great crisis decades ago, now he wants another try? That's a fool's dream! I won't let him succeed!"

...

When Qin Tian once again stepped into the Xuanyuan Book Pavilion, at that moment, everyone's gaze toward him transformed.

Earlier, the chatter mostly revolved around whether Qin Tian was worthy of being an Inner Sect disciple.

Now, seeing Qin Tian, the crowd quickly stepped aside, with nobody daring to gossip.

Qin Tian directly went to the second floor of the pavilion, beginning his search for a cultivation technique secret manual suitable for his cultivation.

"Storm Technique?"

Qin Tian saw the name of a peculiar cultivation technique, picked it up for a look, and immediately found it very enticing.

"Transform nature's storm to one's use, destroy the heavens and the earth..."

Reading the introduction to the Storm Technique, Qin Tian became curious about how one could control a natural storm for their use?

If his own condensed True Qi Storm counted as the storm True Qi of the Storm Technique?

He stood in the aisle, carefully flipping through.

"Haha, Qin Tian, you did well earlier, defeating the Outer Disciple Li Yang with just one move."

Suddenly, as Qin Tian was engrossed in reading the Storm Technique, a voice came from beside him.

Qin Tian turned his head to look, discovering it was Li Tianxuan, the newly accepted disciple of Elder Mo Ziyang.

As a prominent figure in the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, Mo Ziyang's disciples were always most noteworthy.

But this year, Elder Wang Tianqing's sudden decision to accept a disciple stole the spotlight.

Previously, Qin Tian could perceive that Mo Ziyang and Wang Tianqing were practically mortal enemies within Xuanyuan Immortal Sect.

So now, seeing Li Tianxuan appear beside him with a sort of condescending, feigned concern, Qin Tian gave a faint smile without saying a word.

He decided not to acknowledge this guy.

"Haha, the Storm Technique... Hmm, this is a decent cultivation technique, but with your cultivation, you're likely unable to reach Great Success. To control True Qi Storms and natural storms under your own power, you're still a bit weak now; perhaps when you reach the Ascension Stage Middle or High Stage... I'm kindly advising you to give up, don't fall into deviation."

Seeing Qin Tian ignoring him, Li Tianxuan continued pestering him unrelentingly beside Qin Tian.

"Mind your own business."

Qin Tian left a final word, directly taking the Storm Technique downstairs.

Currently, the most important thing for him is to enhance his cultivation level and combat power; otherwise, there may still be some Outer Disciples who will challenge him. Qin Tian is well aware of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect's challenge rules.

Outer Disciples can challenge Inner Sect disciples at any time; Outer Disciples can also challenge each other, whereas Inner Sect disciples, having personal guidance from their masters, require permission from both masters for challenges between them.

Moreover, Inner Sect disciples cannot challenge Outer Disciples.

All martial arts duels can only occur once; the same two individuals cannot duel twice.

This rule somewhat protects Inner Sect disciples with higher cultivation and greater strength.

But for Outer Disciples, it's survival of the fittest.

Later, Qin Tian learned that challenges occur almost daily in the Outer sect area.

Of course, challenges among Outer Disciples generally don't garner much attention from Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, only challenges involving Inner Sect disciples pique the interest of the Elders.

Since involving Inner Sect disciples, it touches upon the dignity of the disciples' corresponding master, and every Elder cares about their reputation.

Such a dueling challenge system offers ambitious Outer Disciples seeking attention from the Elders the best chance by challenging Inner Sect disciples.

Every year, numerous Outer Disciples make a name for themselves by challenging Inner Sect disciples.

Following this year's disciple selection, Qin Tian clearly saw the crowd's biggest topic was him becoming Wang Tianqing's disciple.

Especially since currently, seeing Qin Tian's cultivation isn't high, likely many Outer Disciples would challenge Qin Tian to capture the attention of Wang Tianqing and the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect.

Of course, according to the challenge rules, one person can accept a challenge only once per month.

Currently, after defeating Li Yang, there's a good chance someone else will challenge him after a month.
