Although the ability to refine weapons into the body allowed Gu Fei to possess a powerful body that was temporarily able to withstand the Green Cloud Peak''s most precious Golden Moon Wheel, this kind of state where the divine weapon had a certain attribute spread throughout the body was unable to last for long.
Moreover, the Aura within the Ares-class weapon had yet to completely dissolve into the Qi and blood in his body. If he desperately tried to stimulate the power of the Ares-class weapon, his body would inevitably be unable to withstand it.
Right now, Gu Fei was suffering from the side effects of using the weapon''s body refinement ability too much. His entire body, every inch, was filled with a piercing pain, and after sitting under the big tree for a while, his tattered clothes were drenched in sweat.
The sweat brought with it a bloody smell, and it dyed the tattered clothes hanging on his body a dark black. It was the blood that was forced out of his body.
All of the blood and flesh and bone in Gu Fei''s body trembled slightly, and from within his body, the faint rumbling of heavenly thunder could be heard. The exuberant vital energy and blood in his body was washing over his body wave after wave.
The body tempering technique and martial skill cultivation technique caused Gu Fei''s body to be as strong as a normal cultivator''s treasure, and his recovery rate was also shockingly high. Waves of vital energy and blood that contained the essence of the five elements flowed through his body. The wounds on his flesh and blood were quickly healing.
"Hm!" The path of martial arts is a path of strong people formed for the sake of battle. One will advance through life and death battles while stepping on the corpses of their opponents. " Gu Fei felt that after going through an intense battle with Dongfaang Chen, his own cultivation seemed to have improved a little.
This was what Gu Fei gained after the battle, it seemed that the paths of his predecessors were wrong, his Master, Wan Xiancheng, had never easily taken a step out of the Green Spirit Peak, and only focused on bitterly training in the mountain. Little did he know, that this Ancient Body Refining Technique, was actually a Killing technique created for battle, a powerful physique, and corresponding to it was incomparable combat power.
To immerse oneself in training with limited progress and fight to the death was considered a shortcut. Comprehending the comprehension in battle was the exact opposite of being completely still and calm.
Cultivators focused on quiet cultivation, moving the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, and nourishing the Primordial Spirit Technique''s body to condense their Fa Li. On the path of martial cultivation, however, they focused on circulation, refining their entire body''s muscles and bones to produce Strength of Source from their vital energy and blood.
As a result, when one meditated too much, it would instead restrict the breakthrough of one''s cultivation. This was probably the reason why Warrior, who had never produced a single Mortal Separating Stage in the hundreds of instances of Branch Vein of Green Spirit Peak, did not.
This was a kind of habitual thought that cultivators use on their own bodies, so it was not really suitable for them. For Warrior, rather than just sitting around all day, it was better for them to leave their secluded cultivation grounds and challenge other Cultivator s. When fighting with others, they could comprehend the true essence of the martial way.
Gu Fei seemed to have seen a glimmer of light in the fog. He seemed to have comprehended a brand-new cultivation method, and the only cultivation method that belonged to the Warrior was — — Battle!
On the nine great arenas in the plaza, the disciples participating in the competition were still on their way up to the roof. As the dao techniques clashed, bright light and loud sounds of explosions would erupt from time to time, shaking the entire mountain range.
The remaining matches were already far less intense than the battle between Gu Fei and Dongfaang Chen, but they still attracted the gazes of the thousands of disciples in the plaza.
The Nine Veins Test this time was different from last time. Besides obtaining the rewards, the disciples who ranked in the top ten would also have the chance to enter the Heavenly Ruins Realm.
Heavenly Ruins Realm, to Three Great Dao Sects, was a land of fortune, and also a place of Inauspicious Land. To those who entered, this was similarly a once in a lifetime opportunity.
In this world, there was nothing that could be obtained without effort. In danger, there was an opportunity to change the fate of one''s entire life. If one could seize this fleeting opportunity, they could rise to the top.
First Senior Brother and his junior, Zi Yu, from the Taixuan Peak and Sect Master bloodline easily defeated their respective opponents and advanced to the second round of the competition with results of two wins.
However, in the second match of Purple Bamboo Peak, Zhao Xueqi met the outstanding disciple of the Tongtian peak, Song Ruochen. This Song Ruochen actually awakened the peak of my Seventh Layer, even if Zhao Zirou had the Purple Bamboo Peak''s most precious water type treasure, Black Tortoise Seal, she would still find it hard to fight against Song Ruochen, and lose.
However, with one win and one loss, Zhao Zirou could still make it to the second round. Actually, a large part of the reason why Zhao Zirou lost was because she used the Black Tortoise Seal in the morning competition, causing him to consume a large amount of Fa Li. After resting for four hours, she was still unable to completely recover, which gave Song Ruochen an opportunity.
When night fell, the competition was over. The Daoist man with the black art once again expressionlessly walked out and announced that the second round of the competition would begin tomorrow. After that, a name list was quickly posted. It was the list of contestants for the second round.
When the mystical cultivator announced the end of today''s competition, Gu Fei, who was sitting cross-legged beneath a huge tree at the side of the plaza, opened his eyes. With a thought, a golden light flashed and extinguished from his body.
With his shirt torn apart, Gu Fei''s lower body was tied up with a pair of similarly tattered, holes filled pants. However, the pants at the most important part of his body was still relatively intact, it would absolutely not be naked.
Gu Fei stood up and immediately heard the sound of light footsteps coming from his side. He turned around and saw a woman wearing a white dress walking over gently. In the darkness of the night, it was as if she was stepping on a cloud and floated over.
With her beautiful appearance, her hair and muscles looked like they had exploded. It was as if a fairy from the nine heavens had descended into the mortal world.
"Junior Sister Zhao?" Gu Fei was startled. A pair of eyes looked at the girl''s face and some sort of emotion seemed to arise in his heart. This was a strange feeling he had never experienced before, and this feeling made Gu Fei''s heartbeat speed up and the flow of his blood speed up.
Zhao Zirou was as light as a swallow as she came to Gu Fei''s side, "Congratulations Senior Brother Gu for your glorious victory over Dongfaang Chen, haha! This is really unexpected! "
The shock of Gu Fei defeating Dongfaang Chen among the younger generation of disciples was indescribable. A disciple of the Branch Vein of Green Spirit Peak would give the impression that their cultivation was low, but their skin was thick and their flesh was thick, making them seem like they had just been beaten up. But today, the fighting strength that Gu Fei had displayed was astonishing. A pure martial skill was very terrifying.
Even the members of the older generation were shocked. The deceased disciple of the Green Spirit Peak, Wan Xiancheng, would normally stay in his Branch Vein of Green Spirit Peak cave and would not easily reveal his combat skills in front of others.
Thus, even among the disciples of Wan Xiancheng''s generation, very few people knew the true power of the Green Spirit Peak''s battle skills. And Gu Fei''s performance today, was undoubtedly enough to shock them. In addition, it also caused them to feel a little uneasy, and they were afraid that their Taixuan Sect would no longer be calm in the future.
"Humph!" If Dongfaang Chen did not have the treasure Golden Moon Wheel of the Green Cloud Peak branch in his hands, he would have lost even more miserably. " Gu Fei said somewhat disdainfully. Defeating Dongfaang Chen was actually nothing amazing.
A disciple with Branch Vein of Green Spirit Peak was already stronger than disciples of the other eight branches of the same realm. Even if it was a disciple with a cultivation level one level higher than his own, he would still be able to contend against them.
Moreover, this kind of situation isn''t so obvious when you are in the realms below the Fifth Layer. Once you surpass the Fifth Layer, the advantages of a Warrior would appear amongst the other Cultivator of the same realm.
Gu Fei has already passed away, the Master Wan Xiancheng was once able to force me, who was still in the Ninth Heaven, to retreat from the cultivators in the Mortal Separating realm.
And now, with Gu Fei training in the body refining technique, his fighting strength would be even more astonishing. It would not be impossible for him to challenge someone above him.
"Senior Brother Gu, don''t be careless, with Dongfaang Chen''s cultivation level, he can''t even use twenty percent of the power of that Golden Moon Wheel." Zhao Zirou said.
That Golden Moon Wheel, being able to become the treasure of the Green Cloud Peak bloodline, its power was obviously not limited to just that. However, with Dongfaang Chen''s cultivation, being able to drive the Golden Moon Wheel to unleash the Dao Art that had split the Moon Shadow into millions was already the limits of what he could endure.
"En!" Gu Fei nodded, he knew that if he had not cultivated the ability of Body Refinement, and had refined the short stick left behind by his sect into his body, the outcome of today''s battle with Dongfaang Chen, would have been completely different.
The sharpness of the Golden Moon Wheel''s blade was definitely not inferior to the divine weapon''s. The ring of sharp blades being able to cut through hair and cut through rocks was not a surprise at all.
A normal blade and sword, a normal treasure. Gu Fei could directly resist it with his flesh, but he could never withstand the attacks of the Golden Moon Wheel. Based on the might of the Golden Moon Wheel, even if it was a real pig iron, it would still be split in half.
Unless Gu Fei cultivated this Ancient Body Refinement Art to the Grand Perfection Stage, his body would be able to ignore the attacks from any magical equipment.
"Senior Gu, let''s go take a look at that list that''s posted!" Zhao Zirou said.
"Alright!" Gu Fei''s words were very straightforward and also very straightforward. He seemed to never procrastinate, always maintaining his true nature and doing whatever he wanted.
When Gu Fei and Zhao Zirou walked towards the stairs in front of the plaza, a pair of vicious eyes was staring at the two of them from underneath a tree on the other side of the plaza.
"Gu Fei..." Under the tree, the man''s face was dark and he was gritting his teeth. His mouth let out two sounds that were so weak that they could barely be heard.
At this time, a white clothed disciple walked over to the person who hated Gu Fei so much, "Junior Brother Wang, so you''re here. First Senior Brother would like to invite you over."
"Hmm? But why is Lee Lingfeng looking for me? " That person frowned and a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. He then said to the disciple in white, "Senior Brother, please lead the way."
In the Taixuan Sect, the only person who had enmity with Gu Fei was Wang Yuanzhi, and the person who wished to hack Gu Fei into eight pieces was that Wang Yuanzhi.
The white clothed disciple was of the Sect Master bloodline, so Wang Yuanzhi did not dare to be negligent and immediately changed his appearance. He followed behind the white clothed disciple and headed towards the peak behind Taixuan Peak.
Wang Yuanzhi had originally wanted to rely on Dongfaang Chen to humiliate Gu Fei, but unfortunately, Dongfaang Chen was not his match, and was instead humiliated by Gu Fei. After this battle, Dongfaang Chen lost all face, and even the disciples of the Green Cloud Peak faction lost all face.
As a result, the combination of the old and new grudges made Wang Yuanzhi feel like he was going crazy, and he hated Gu Fei to the point that his teeth were starting to itch. However, he couldn''t do anything about it.
However, so what? The demons only blamed their own incompetence. They could only swallow it down with their bleeding teeth.
At this time, the crowd in the square had gradually dispersed. Those who had made it to the second round tomorrow had long since returned to their respective places of cultivation, recovering their energy and stamina, and were preparing for tomorrow''s competition.
The people who were eliminated sighed with their heads down. On the contrary, they were still in the plaza discussing today''s competition, either watching the results or simply walking to the side in a daze.
When Gu Fei and Zhao Zirou walked over, the disciples who were gathered in front of the ranking board in the younger generation all opened a path for them.
