Immortality from Taming Elephant

Chapter 560 - 248: Second Grade, Taking a Master - 2

Early the next morning.Xu Guang opened the door and was somewhat surprised to see a silhouette.

It was Ji Yue Ru.

He frowned slightly.

"Junior Sister Ji? What’s the matter?"

Ji Yue Ru glanced at Jiang Zi Yun beside him and spoke softly.

"Yesterday, I watched Senior Brother Xu fighting with Hong Zhen and others. Seeing that you were not prepared at all, I thought you were new here and might not have some things ready, so I prepared these for you."

As she spoke, she took out three syringes and an Elixir.

"This is the Blood Spirit Agent. Inject it into your heart, and it can make your blood flow rapidly throughout your body, giving you powerful strength.

This is the Speed Pill refined from the Black Wind Xuan Leopard Inner Core. After taking it, it can enhance your speed by about thirty percent.

This is..."

They were all top-notch explosive secret medicines, all refined by an Alchemist in Yunlong City.

Xu Guang was at a loss for words.

"Junior Sister Ji, there’s no need. Xu Mou doesn’t need these things."

Ji Yue Ru, however, directly placed the items on the ground, "I am only worried about senior brother. Sometimes, you don’t need to push yourself so hard."

After speaking, without waiting for Xu Guang to respond, she turned and ran away.

"..."

Jiang Zi Yun looked at Xu Guang with a half-amused, half-mocking smile.

"Isn’t this what you called a green tea girl, Brother Guang? But she seems quite wealthy."

She analyzed earnestly.

Xu Guang became even more speechless; Jiang Zi Yun had been somewhat uneasy about not having children and had long been arranging to find him a concubine.

"Don’t mess around."

He reminded her.

Jiang Zi Yun gave him a sideways look.

They both arrived at the Central Plaza in front of the Emperor Tower; everyone had already gathered.

The True King Tianwu did not appear again. As a True King, it was impossible for him to observe the juniors every day.

As Xu Guang stepped out from the crowd to choose his opponent again, the people in the Second Grade Realm looked at him with subtlety, no longer with the contempt they had the previous day.

Very few dared to meet Xu Guang’s eyes.

Xu Guang’s face was expressionless as his gaze swept over the crowd, finally settling on a man with a somewhat solemn expression.

"Brother Han, forgive me."

Han Rui smiled wryly, "Will your Great Beast join, junior brother?"

Xu Guang thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I had some gains yesterday; it’s unnecessary."

Han Rui seemed relieved.

The two entered the Emperor Tower one after the other.

After thirty breaths.

Han Rui smiled wryly and spoke to the main judge in the air, "I concede."

He felt a little helpless; he should have given up this qualification directly. His strength was not even as good as Hong Zhen’s.

Given the current situation, he dared not challenge anyone in the First Grade Realm, while the elites in the Third Grade Realm below would likely set their sights on him...

Apart from Xu Guang yesterday, he had also witnessed the strength of those in the Third Grade, people like Xiao Chen and Sui Donglai might be slightly weaker than Xu Guang, but he thought it would still be very difficult to win against them.

Han Rui thought to himself, having already made up his mind to withdraw from the challenge later.

Many shared this notion; there were also two prodigies in the Second Grade, who could defeat those in the First Grade while using explosive Elixirs.

This is not to say they are inferior to Xiao Chen and the others, but rather the gap between First Grade and Second Grade is greater.

First Grade is the final realm of the Martial Arts Ninth Grade and the most crucial realm.

It requires unifying one’s own spirit, preparing oneself for the first Nirvana Transformation.

Xu Guang felt that Martial Dao, strictly speaking, was more like a method of constant self-transformation and evolution.

...

"Senior Brother, what do you think?"

The True King Tianwu, with a smile, looked at an elderly man with white hair beside him. The old man had the appearance of a child, standing on a crane, with long white eyebrows.

Cloud Wanderer smiled and nodded, "Not bad."

He gave a relatively positive evaluation.

The True King Tianwu immediately broke into a happy smile.

"The Outer Sea has been a bit unstable recently; when you recruit students, there’s no need to make a big deal of it."

The True King Tianwu’s smile faded, "What should I do?"

"Just continue guarding the Upper Fifth Academy as you have for these three hundred years. I’m just asking you to be more vigilant and not let the Lifeless Sect find loopholes."

The Lifeless Sect, a force from the Province of the Thirty-Three Eastern States, is quite insane and once attempted to overthrow the mortal realm. Now, it occupies a section overseas.

Even in Hongze, stability is a luxury. The war between the Northern polar Six Academies and the Lifeless Sect has raged for hundreds of years; even joining forces with the Penglai Palace hasn’t succeeded in completely eradicating them.

The True King Tianwu nodded.

Cloud Wanderer smiled slightly, flipping his hand over, revealing a jade gourd in his palm, "This is the Jade Void Gourd I found years ago with my master in a Secret Realm in the outer heavens; consider it a gift for my future junior nephew."

The True King Tianwu’s expression was peculiar, and he spoke in a low voice.

"Thank you, Senior Brother, but... Senior Brother, I plan to take on two students this time."

Cloud Wanderer: ...

He casually took out another Jade Void Gourd, "This one I haven’t refined yet, you handle it yourself, the situation in the outer sea is tense, I’ll head over first."

With that, without caring about the True King Tianwu’s expression, he rode his crane away.

...

Three consecutive days.

Xu Guang won every match in the challenge.

But Xiao Chen and the others were the same; he specifically watched Xu Xuanji’s match, and how to say...

It seemed somewhat ordinary, giving the impression that the opponent was winning by luck.

But within that sense of luck, there was also a touch of deliberate intent.

Xu Guang set aside his thoughts and sat in a training room within the Emperor Tower, with a movement of his Divine Thought.

The panel appeared before him.

[Five Emperors True Form Transformation lv5 (max)]

The experience needed for deduction wasn’t exaggerated; the Five Emperors True Form Transformation is divided into upper, middle, and lower sections, with the end corresponding to the first Nirvana Transformation. This kind of small barrier in the Cultivation Technique doesn’t require ten times the experience, perhaps around four or five times.
