Chapter 55. It’s on fire! We cultivators, fear no fight_1
Damn it, those ten Qi-gathering pills were bearable, as they helped me reach the mid-stage Golden Core Realm within ten days...
But now, they’re forcibly stuffing me with experience packs? Can’t even be bothered to pretend anymore, huh?
Just as a thousand alpacas stampeded through Lin Xiao’s mind,
BOOM!
A streak of sword light flashed across the sky.
Chen Feng from Tiandang Peak, challenge letter in hand, descended on his sword into the center of the plaza!
At this moment, all the disciples of Divine Phoenix Peak wore wary expressions as they stepped forward, surrounding him.
It turned out that according to the rules for the Five Branches Martial Competition set by the founder of Qinglan Sect, the contestants for each round were chosen by lots drawn by the Elders from the Sect Affairs Hall.
However, there was an unwritten tradition: before the competition formally began, the vanguards from each Branch were allowed to challenge the vanguard of another Branch to a one-on-one duel! This practice, it was claimed, created a better competitive atmosphere and spurred the young prodigies to unleash their full potential.
Of course, according to the rules, the challenged Branch could choose to refuse.
But the crucial point was... this matter concerned the honor and dignity of a Branch’s lineage. Who would possibly refuse?!
