Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 80 - 72: Ten Consecutive Rounds! Protective Spirit Armor! Facing Ye Liang!
The tournament continues.
When Qi Chuan successfully endured the tenth round, even he felt a hint of exhaustion both physically and mentally.
Fortunately, at that moment, Elder Yun spoke up from above.
"Successfully defended the arena for ten rounds, Inner Sect Disciple Qi Chuan wins, temporarily retreating, awaiting the next round of competition."
Upon hearing this, Qi Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands toward the sky where Yun Qingyue was, then turned and jumped off the first golden pillar, leaving this pillar for the next defender.
Bang.
With a light sound, particles of white jade light dispersed all around him, Qi Chuan landed in front of Qi Chan’Er, fists touching the ground, and then slowly stood up.
Surrounding him, many inner sect disciples cast astonishing glances at Qi Chuan.
And Qi Chan’Er was also staring at him intensely, as if trying to see through him.
"What is it?"
Feeling Qi Chan’Er’s gaze, Qi Chuan smiled a bit awkwardly.
"Qi Refining Seventh Layer, Tier One Late Stage Body Cultivator?"
"Hmph, never thought you, Qi Chuan, could hide so well..."
Qi Chan’Er lightly snorted, seemingly somewhat angry.
"Where did I hide anything, you never asked me!" Qi Chuan spread his hands, saying.
"You!"
Qi Chan’Er couldn’t help but glare, but thinking it over, she realized she had never really asked Qi Chuan about his cultivation. Her previous guesses on Qi Chuan’s cultivation all came from her own assumptions, so there wasn’t much to say now.
But upon further thought, with Qi Chuan not voluntarily disclosing it, with her personality, how could she directly inquire about his cultivation?
So he really was hiding.
Of course, Qi Chuan wasn’t obliged to reveal his specific cultivation voluntarily.
"Sigh."
Qi Chan’Er couldn’t help but sigh.
Then she stopped considering this matter and instead looked up towards the ten golden pillars above, with a hint of worry between her brows: "However, Qi Chuan, if you want to continue moving forward, it might be even more challenging than the ten rounds of arena defense just now..."
Qi Chuan also looked up at the ten golden pillars, nodding slightly.
Indeed, based on the current situation, it seems defending the arena for ten rounds is necessary to enter the next round of True Inheritance selection.
However, according to the status of the ten golden pillars, those who could endure more than eight rounds had a minimum cultivation of Qi Refining Ninth Layer, or even Qi Refining Tenth Layer, which means Qi Refining Perfection among strong cultivators.
Next, he would face these same successful defenders of ten rounds, and it certainly wouldn’t be easy.
Nevertheless, even so, Qi Chuan still had only two words: unyielding.
"Let’s wait and see." Qi Chuan responded calmly, such ease caused Qi Chan’Er to look in astonishment.
On the ten golden pillars, the defense continues.
As time passes, some real strong contenders gradually emerge.
Finally, apart from Qi Chuan, there were eleven other inner sect strong cultivators who successfully defended ten rounds.
Among them, Ye Liang was indeed included.
The other ten included four at Qi Refining Tenth Layer and six at Qi Refining Ninth Layer.
Actually, it’s not just four participants at Qi Refining Tenth Layer in the True Inheritance selection, but some were eliminated due to their virtual mana and weak battle power.
Among the twelve victors, only one was at Qi Refining Seventh Layer and Qi Refining Eighth Layer, which were Qi Chuan and Ye Liang.
"Is it him?"
On the tenth golden pillar, Ye Liang gazed in Qi Chuan’s direction, his brow furrowing.
He was certainly familiar with Qi Chuan.
Coming from the Qi Family, he was considered the pride of the Qi Family. When he first joined the Inner Sect, he drew the Tier One Upper Grade Cave Mansion by luck, and later because of his potential magic talent, Ye Liang once invited him to his birthday party, only to be rejected.
Ye Liang had felt upset about it before, but later, he focused on his own cultivation and gradually forgot.
Unexpectedly, their paths crossed again at the True Inheritance selection ceremony, and remarkably, the opponent had reached Qi Refining Seventh Layer, just like himself, successfully enduring ten rounds.
"This person must be a hidden prodigy. The Qi Family must have protected him too well, concealing too much information!"
"I didn’t realize it, and overlooked such a person. Now possibly facing him in the True Inheritance selection, he might become my fierce rival!"
At this moment, Ye Liang lowered his gaze, looking at his right arm covered with bronze armor plates, the corners of his mouth forming a slight smile.
"However, a prodigy... hope you don’t face me in the subsequent rounds, otherwise I’ll let you know that a fallen prodigy is worthless!"
In his heart, he wouldn’t allow anyone more prodigious than him at this ceremony. Originally, at Qi Refining Eighth Layer, he had the lowest cultivation among those who endured ten rounds, but now, all attention was on Qi Chuan, who’s only at Qi Refining Seventh Layer!
"Qi Chuan, Ye Liang, Teng Jie, Feng Yu... these twelve enter the next round, after a quarter of an hour, come forward and draw the battle tokens."
At this moment, Elder Yun’s cool voice echoed from the sky.
Immediately, the twelve victors began meditating to restore mana, taking out spirit stones and elixirs, everything that could restore mana.
Qi Chuan had already sat down beside Qi Chan’Er, placing a circle of spirit stones around, then a white jade-colored Spirit Ginseng Pill appeared in his hand, he swallowed it, and started the Evergreen Technique.
Since Qi Chuan entered Qi Refining Seventh Layer, he had replaced the Gathering Essence Pill used during Qi Refining Middle Stage, with a newly purchased Spirit Ginseng Pill from the Pill Pavilion, which offered better effects, though its price was higher, costing fifteen Lower Grade Spirit Stones each.
[You activate the Evergreen Technique for one Grand Circulation, absorb the Spiritual Qi from the spirit stones, refine the medicinal power, converting it into your own mana, triggering a twentyfold critical strike, gaining twentyfold harvest. Your mana has been somewhat restored.]
