Chapter 161: Fighting the Heavens (Please Order the Full Version!)
"Yang Beichen, tell me about how you got these medicines. I want to hear it!"

Li Huayuan asked seemingly casually.

"Master, this is a long story..."

Yang Chen had already made an excuse and was not panicked at all, looking calm.

He vividly described the story of the crane and the clam fighting and the fisherman gaining the advantage, and exaggerated his own luck to the utmost!
After hearing this, many disciples of Huangfeng Valley expressed their jealousy and envy beyond words. What a lucky guy!

After hearing this, Li Huayuan nodded secretly, thinking that this was reasonable. Otherwise, with Yang Chen's low level of skills, how could he have collected so many spiritual herbs? It seemed that it was really just luck.

Believing he had figured out the reason, Li Huayuan stopped asking questions. After a moment's silence, he said to Yang Chen with a smile:

"Yang Beichen, you have done a great service to our sect this time!
Win the bet for me, and I'll reward you handsomely. I'm planning to take you on as my disciple. Are you willing?"

what?
Accept him as a disciple? !
Instead of a registered disciple?
When the other people in Huangfeng Valley heard this, they were shocked at first, and then they stared at Yang Chen with disbelief on their faces!
It’s incredible!

How could this ancestor be so willing to accept Yang Chen as his disciple? Yang Chen's skills were ordinary, and his aptitude was only five spiritual roots!

I really don’t see what’s so special about it!
Why did it catch the eye of the founder!
Is it just because of good luck?

It’s so enviable!

"Li Huayuan wants to take me as his disciple?"

After weighing the pros and cons, Yang Chen pretended to be excited and agreed. He performed the apprenticeship ceremony and was given a top-level magic weapon:

Qingfeng Sword!
"You're actually back?"

After returning to the valley, Master Ma from the Spiritual Medicine Garden said in horror.

He thought Yang Chen was dead, and had found someone to look after the spiritual medicine garden, and was waiting for him to take over Yang Chen's job!
Yang Chen smiled and told Li Huayuan about how he was accepted as his apprentice. Uncle Ma was shocked and sighed:

"Master Li may be accepting you as a disciple in order to take half of the tribute (i.e., the elixir) you submitted to the sect as a thank-you gift. This will result in your reward being halved, and you will only get one Foundation Establishment Pill."

Yang Chen already understood the reason.

He had confidence in [Fighting Break] Yang Chen's alchemy skills and did not care about the number of foundation-building pills the sect rewarded him.

In preparation for refining the foundation-building pill, Yang Chen actively ripened the medicinal materials and sorted out the harvest from the forbidden area, including spirit stones, spirit weapons, as well as the "puppet archer" and the mysterious silver pages.

"Puppet Archer" is the magic weapon that Yang Chen won in a lottery in Huangfeng Valley before setting off for the Blood Forbidden Land.

"This puppet requires a distraction to control. It's time to plan the Great Evolution Technique. Other worlds may also have methods to cultivate spiritual consciousness, but the Great Evolution Technique is the most suitable method for mortals to cultivate immortality. I need to obtain it and study it first."

Yang Chen's eyes were dim.

The most urgent task now is to refine the foundation-building pill!
"Upload the Foundation Establishment Pill recipe!"

……

……

"[Mortal] wants me to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

【Fighting Break Sphere】Yang Chen’s eyes were dim.

At this moment, he is participating in the fighting test.

Fortunately, the spiritual medicine for the foundation-building pill of [Mortal] has not been cultivated yet, so there is no rush to refine the foundation-building pill.

Yang Chen looked towards the Xiao Family Square.

"Xiao Yan, Dou Qi, fifth stage!"

When these words burst out from the Xiao family test stone tablet, they were so dazzling that they seemed to tear the sky apart!
The entire square seemed to be cast under a silencing spell!

Everyone was dumbfounded, extremely shocked, their lips slightly open, frozen in place, their faces full of disbelief!
The young man stood proudly in front of the monument, his posture straight, his youthful face showing a hint of determination, his slightly raised chin, and the gleam in his eyes, making him a completely different person from his former decadent self.

He slowly loosened his fists, his knuckles turned from white to red, and several red marks on his palms seemed to be engraved with the excitement he had just suppressed.

"Xiao Yan..."

"Fighting Spirit, fifth stage, level: intermediate!"

Beside the test stone tablet, the middle-aged man's voice trembled.

He stared at the words on the stele, as if waking up from a dream, and it was a long time before he announced loudly.

As soon as the words were spoken, the square seemed to explode!

Exclamations and discussions arose one after another, but the ridicule of the past was completely gone, leaving only shock and suspicion!

"Fifth stage? How could that be! This kid has always been stuck in the same place, becoming a laughing stock. How could he suddenly recover..."

"Did I hear it wrong? Five sections! What on earth has he done in the past six months to have such a fortuitous encounter?"

"Could it be that the stone tablet is malfunctioning?"

"There has never been such an unusual situation in previous years!"

Everyone was whispering to each other, looking towards Xiao Yan with inquiring eyes, as if they wanted to unravel the mystery.

Xiao Yan listened to all the words quietly, with a faint smile on his face, which showed both self-mockery and relief.

The sarcastic and mocking words that were like sharp arrows in the past have now become stepping stones for his progress, helping him to reach higher and see farther.

Xiao Yan slowly raised his head, his dark eyes sweeping over the astonished crowd, the harsh words from the past still ringing in his ears.

But now, there is no more ripple in his heart.

He knew very well that his achievement of breaking through the fifth level of fighting spirit today was the result of his hard work and perseverance day and night.

"These people, who humiliated me so much in the past, now act as if they have seen a ghost when they see me. That's all!

How could they know the hardships I went through, licking my wounds alone in the dark night and rising up again and again in the morning light!
How could you know how much I have persisted along the way? "

Xiao Yan pondered in his heart and turned around casually.

He walked steadily towards the end of the team. Although he still looked lonely at this moment, he seemed to have his own aura, attracting the attention of those around him.

"Next, Xiao Mei!" Hearing the shout, Xiao Mei walked out of the crowd. The moment she appeared, the discussion stopped for a moment, but everyone's eyes drifted to Xiao Yan from time to time, obviously still immersed in the shock just now.

Xiao Mei frowned slightly, feeling angry.

He quickened his pace and walked to the front of the stone tablet. His little hands skillfully touched the dark stone tablet and he closed his eyes to concentrate.

Trying to draw everyone's attention back to himself, a moment later, the stone tablet burst into brilliant light!
"Xiao Mei!"

"Fighting Spirit: Seventh Stage! Level: Advanced!"

"yeah!"

Hearing the results announced by the examiner, Xiao Mei habitually raised a smug smile, and glanced at Xiao Yan's calm face from the corner of her eye, but her smile froze in an instant!
These seven sections in the past are enough to be proud of.

Now in front of Xiao Yan, the fifth level, he suddenly lost his luster.

After all, this is the resurgence of a fallen genius!

"Tsk tsk, the seventh stage of fighting spirit is truly extraordinary. At this rate of progress, he can advance to the fighting spirit in three years at most..."

Hearing the perfunctory praise from the crowd, Xiao Mei bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth and clenched her fists, feeling unwilling.

"Xiao Yan, how on earth did he do it?"

"No, I can't let him outdo me!"

While chatting and laughing with her sisters, Xiao Mei's gaze penetrated the crowd and fell on Xiao Yan. She saw that he seemed to be isolated from the world, with an aloof temperament, which made Xiao Mei feel even more unfamiliar. Could it be that the young man who was full of vigor and vitality in Wutan City back then has returned?
"Ugh……"

Xiao Mei sighed softly, recalling the high-spirited Xiao Yan three years ago, who had practiced Qi training at the age of four, reached the ninth level at the age of ten, and broke through the tenth level and gathered Qi at the age of eleven, becoming the youngest fighter in the family.

She was one of the girls who were attracted by him.

Unfortunately, geniuses are often unlucky. Three years ago, Xiao Yan suffered a serious injury, and the cyclone of more than ten years of hard training dissipated overnight.

His fighting spirit gradually faded, his strength plummeted, he fell from the clouds into the mud, was ridiculed, and his reputation as a genius was tarnished.

Everyone thought it would be difficult to get up after the fall, but unexpectedly, Xiao Yan was like a phoenix rising from the ashes, making a stunning counterattack that caught everyone off guard.

"Is it because of that guy?"

Xiao Mei suddenly remembered a rumor that Xiao Yan was beaten up by Xun'er's personal bodyguard Yang Chen some time ago.

Could it be that after getting beaten up, Xiao Yan turned a disaster into a blessing, was reborn from the ashes, and his fighting spirit talent was restored?
Xiao Mei looked in the direction of Xun'er.

"I wonder if Yang Chen will participate in the test this time..."

Yang Chen has half the blood of the Xiao family, but he was born to a son-in-law of the Xiao family who married into the Yang family, so he took his mother's surname.

This is a thorn in the side of the Xiao family!

"Next, Xun'er!"

Amidst the noisy crowd, the tester's voice rose again, and everyone fell silent, their gazes fixed on him.

But Xun'er, a girl in purple skirt, was standing tall and graceful, elegant and refined, as cool and indifferent as a newly blossomed green lotus. At such a young age, she already had an otherworldly demeanor, and her future beauty that would captivate the whole country was foreseeable.

There is no doubt that in terms of beauty and temperament, Xun'er is much better than Xiao Mei.

She walked forward gracefully, her purple sleeves inlaid with black and gold threads slipped down, and her white wrist, as white as jade, lightly touched the stone tablet.

Above the stone tablet, in an instant, a strong light became blinding!

"Fighting Qi: Ninth Stage! Level: Advanced!"

In an instant, the whole place was dead silent.

Then there was a burst of loud discussion!
"...He's actually reached the ninth level! How terrifying!"

"The number one young person in the family must be Miss Xun'er!"

The young men swallowed their saliva and were in awe.

The fighting spirit is the level of advancement for a fighter, and it is divided into nine stages. After reaching the tenth stage, one can gather the energy into a vortex and become a one-star fighter!
In the crowd, Xiao Mei looked at the girl in purple dress in front of the stone tablet, and a flash of jealousy passed through her eyes.

Looking at the information on the stone tablet, the middle-aged examiner smiled rarely and said respectfully to Xun'er:
"Miss Xun'er, within six months, you should be able to condense the vortex of Dou Qi. If you succeed, at the age of fourteen, you will be promoted to Dou Zhe, and you will be the second person in the Xiao family in the past hundred years!"

The first person is Xiao Yan, who was surrounded by glory back then.

"Thank you."

Xun'er nodded slightly, her face calm, not happy at the praise. She turned around and walked slowly to Yang Chen.

"Brother Yang Chen."

When passing by Yang Chen, Xun'er bent down gracefully, with an elegant smile on her pretty face, which aroused the jealousy of others.

Xiao Yan clenched his fists as he watched this scene. All of this should have belonged to him. This Yang Chen was truly hateful!

Speaking of the feud between the two, it can be traced back to when Xun'er and Yang Chen first arrived at the Xiao family...

Xiao Yan sneaked into Xun'er's room to warm her bones and meridians, but was stopped by Yang Chen and almost ruined his reputation.

In his early years, when Xiao Yan was still a genius, he was able to surpass Yang Chen, but in the past three years, his fighting spirit has been constantly dissipating.

Gradually, I no longer have the qualifications to compare with Yang Chen...

Before, because he wanted to get close to Xun'er, he was beaten up by Yang Chen and his ring was stolen.

"Next, Yang Chen!"

Amid the noisy crowd, the tester's voice rose again, and everyone fell silent, their eyes meeting with complicated expressions.

Yang Chen was dressed in white, with a tall figure and a calm and elegant face. He stood out like a crane among chickens. He was a head taller than other boys of the same age, with a handsome face and unparalleled temperament.

There is no doubt that in terms of appearance and temperament, Yang Chen is much better than the previous Xiao Yan.

On the high platform, all the family leaders' eyes were fixed on Yang Chen, but their expressions were very complicated...
