The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 168 Invincible Appearance

Chapter 168 Invincible Appearance
Xiang Liang and Qiao Yu, who had only recently entered the hospital grounds, were somewhat surprised.

"They actually changed the rules, and it's now a team battle. This is good for the top-ranked players, since the strong team up with the strong and the weak team up with the weak." Xiang Liang frowned and said, "It seems we're at a disadvantage. Jiang Man has wasted a lot of time. He was supposed to be here for two days, but it's been more than ten days and we haven't seen him anywhere."

Qiaoyu also sighed, "I even prepared someone for him to suffer, but I don't know if he knew the situation in advance and used this to break the deadlock and make a fool of us."

Xiang Liang nodded: "That's possible. Anyone who can come here from the Seventh Academy for the assessment can't be someone with simple thoughts."

Neither of them really cared.

It was just a random arrangement anyway, so it's good to see Jiang Man suffer a loss, but it's not necessarily a bad thing if you don't.

It doesn't delay their progress.

They wouldn't compare their rankings with Jiang Man's, because there's absolutely no need for it.

They obtained everything they were supposed to compete for during the Foundation Establishment stage, and now there are no ranking conflicts.

Their goal is to achieve the Golden Core stage.

This kind of meaningless ranking is not worth taking to heart; it's only useful to Jiang Man.

With seven days remaining, they need to find their teammates.

As for Jiang Man, they were not optimistic about him, after all, he was a team member from the Second Academy who could barely be considered a genius, plus an ordinary team member from the Third Academy.

It's really hard to be optimistic about.

Jiang Man was not surprised to hear about the rule change.

But when it was changed to seven days, he was stunned.

According to the bald man, if he does nothing, he will have at least half a month.

even more.

In this way, even after he had mastered the technique, he could still choose to use the Hundred Refinement Stone to force a partial fusion of power.

With his unparalleled talent, coupled with his mastery of the Purple Cloud Divine Light technique and his achievements in the application of magic, he was able to achieve great success.

Even if it's just a half-fusion, it can still get Gao Rong and the others into the top ten.

Now, seven days have passed.

That's barely enough time for him to master his technique, but he lacks the time for the power to merge.

In this state, along with his senior sister from the Second Academy who was barely at the peak of her cultivation, and Gao Rong from the Third Academy who was still in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

The top fifty are all barely enough.

Jiang Man sighed heavily.

They lifted a stone only to drop it on their own foot.

I still haven't tried hard enough.

Otherwise, even if Gao Rong and the others are weak, I can still lead them to compete for first place.

Of course, complaining is pointless; what we need to do is keep trying.

Moreover, the sudden change in rules was clearly due to the appearance of demons.

The sect's intention was to leave it to them to handle.

He could not know why it would be seven days later.

After that, Jiang Man never stopped, he just kept practicing the body-refining technique.

one day.

Two days.

It wasn't until just past midnight on the eighth day.

Jiang Mancai let out a heavy sigh of relief.

It became.

The Seven Star Body Refining Technique has been perfected.

"It's a pity that Lao Huang isn't here, so he won't be able to see me break through my limits."

"It's a case of being unlucky."

At this moment, he could see that the entire area of the First Hospital was covered by arrays in operation.

The random event will begin after dawn.

He still has half a night left.

Out of curiosity, Jiang Man touched the demon-revealing mirror again.

In the end, it was found that 108 demons appeared.

"So many? I wonder if they'll be randomly selected."

Jiang Man looked at the stone in his hand again; it hadn't changed at all.

Touching it is still not worth mentioning.

After that, he stopped thinking about it and began to merge his powers.

The time was too short to be of much use.

But we cannot give up.

Unfortunately, there were no elixirs available.

As Jiang Man was thinking this, he suddenly remembered the evil god.

If I fall asleep at this time, will I be able to enter that dilapidated house again?
Cultivating inside is much better than cultivating outside.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Man decided to give it a try.

He quickly found a spot and immediately closed his eyes.

Then I smoothly entered a dream.

He appeared in the mist, and ahead of him was the dilapidated temple he had seen earlier.

The light is brighter than before.

Once inside, apart from the changes to the text on the message board, nothing else changed.

"Do everything you can to save Huo Bingzhi."

Jiang Man was quite surprised when he saw the message.

Is Huo Bingzhi really that important?

How can we just stand by and watch someone die?
Jiang Man picked up his pen and left a message: "I, Jiang Man of Yunxia Peak, am willing to risk everything, but I am not strong enough and need help. Who will come with me?"

I'll stop writing now and wait for the others to find us so we can go rescue them together.

This is another source of income.

Thus, Jiang Man continued his cultivation.

It is indeed able to absorb the surrounding energy to enhance itself.

He could clearly feel the three forces within his body.

Cultivation, physical body, spirit.

At this moment, he circulated his internal energy, as if breaking down the barriers between the three forces.

To integrate.

In half a night, he used the power of the evil god to create cracks in the barrier, allowing the forces to begin to merge.

Unfortunately, there was only one.

As the powers merged, he felt his foundation awaken little by little.

The power is integrated and interconnected.

Unfortunately, there was only a little.

At the end, Jiang Man glanced at the candlelight next to the statue and noticed it had brightened a bit.

In this way, they disappeared from the spot.

As soon as he regained consciousness, he checked the time; it was almost dawn.

The random selection is about to begin.

He found Gao Rong and Su Qinya still beside the cauldron.

By this time, the bald man and his companions had disappeared.

"They said they need to find another teammate," Gao Rong said, looking at Jiang Man. "Young Master Jiang, wouldn't I be a burden if you brought me along? Maybe..."

Jiang Man stopped him from continuing: "The chances of leading you guys into the top 50 are slim, but I've always been the kind of person who can seize those slim chances."

Su Qinya was also somewhat surprised.

I don't understand why the person in front of me doesn't just ask the bald guy and his team to join me.

Making it into the top 50 would be a piece of cake.

They can even pursue something higher.

It was almost dawn.

Jiang Man looked at the sky and said, "The random event is about to begin. You only need to do one thing: defend."

"Leave the rest to me."

Before Su Qinya could finish her sentence, "My strength is not yet..." she suddenly felt a powerful palm strike.

In an instant, his hand stopped in front of her, blocking her view.

It was as if the palm of my hand had become everything.

It terrified and shocked her.

Then he quickly retreated several steps.

Be vigilant.

"Junior sister, you reacted too slowly," Jiang Man said calmly, withdrawing her hand.

Junior sister?

Su Qinya was both surprised and embarrassed.

But when she looked at the person in front of her again, she no longer saw him as the prodigy who stayed up all night.

But
It resembles a towering, precipitous peak that reaches into the clouds, exuding a terrifying sense of oppression.

Seeing all this, Gao Rong understood once again why Xiao Gao admired Jiang Man so much.

He had never felt this way since he established his foundation.

It felt as if everything was within reach.

Being in the top 50 of the Seven Peaks was a ranking I never dared to dream of before.

But now someone is telling him that they will take him to the top fifty.

He can even completely trust the other person.

"It's dawn." Jiang Man turned to look east and said, "The random selection has begun."

The moment he finished speaking, light fell on them.

Jiang Man stepped forward and said, "Let's go and see the splendor of the top fifty disciples of the outer sect."

At this moment, Gao Rong immediately followed, and Su Qinya did not dare to hesitate in the slightest.

Keep up with the pace.

For some reason, she felt
This will be the most glorious moment of her life.

This person possesses an inexplicable level of self-confidence.

After the three took a step, they disappeared into the light.

Immediately afterwards, beams of light fell upon the central mountain peak.

After the light faded, six people appeared in the corresponding positions.

Jiang Man was among them. The first group he encountered consisted of two men and one woman.

Coincidentally, he knew two of them.

"I didn't expect to run into my junior brother here." Xiang Liang looked at Jiang Man with considerable surprise.

Qiaoyu couldn't help but ask, "Junior Brother, aren't you going back to the Second Academy to compete for rankings? Everyone here is at the peak of Foundation Establishment, and you're even bringing along a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. This path is probably going to be very difficult."

Jiang Man smiled and said, "Young Master Gao is a good friend of mine. I think there's not much difference between his late Foundation Establishment stage and his peak Foundation Establishment stage."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Liang smiled and said, "Not much difference? Then you are quite ignorant, Junior Brother. The completion of Foundation Establishment represents not only cultivation level, but also physical body and spirit."

"For example, I am now at the peak of Foundation Establishment, with eight levels of physical and spiritual cultivation. The difference between me and ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators is enormous."

The moment the other person finished speaking, Jiang Man had already quietly appeared beside him, his palm pressed against the other person's chest. As the other person's pupils contracted, he slowly spoke: "How big can it be?"

The moment the words left his mouth, Jiang Man's palm caved in.

Then a click sounded.

The powerful impact stirred up Xiang Liang's blood and qi like a storm.

He was thrown into the air by inertia, his blood and qi churning as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Qiaoyu was shocked, but she still attacked with her sword.

Jiang Man glanced at the other party and slowly struck out with a palm.

The palm clashed with the spirit sword.

Click!

boom!
The longsword broke, and Wuying landed on Qiaoyu.

It broke through all defenses and sent them flying.

The last one, who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, was quite shocking; he never expected Jiang Man to be so strong.

The moment he made his move, barbs appeared under his feet.

Flow Collapse Technique?
In the instant he dodged, the glow of the sunset shone down.

"not good!"

boom!
The light pierced through him.

Then a scream rang out, and before he could even use his own methods, he was sent flying backward.

It rolled over on the ground.

He coughed up his last mouthful of blood.

Jiang Man did not press his advantage, but stood still, the breeze ruffling the hem of his clothes.

He stood there, like an insurmountable, towering mountain.

At that moment, the mountain peak pressed down.

It left everyone breathless.

Jiang Man lowered his eyes and looked at the three of them, saying, "You flatter me."

Seeing the three men's unwillingness, Jiang Man chuckled and said, "No need to care. Everyone will be defeated by me. You're just a little earlier than the others."

Jiang Man then turned and left.

Gao Rong looked at the three of them, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "When the random battle begins, many people will be defeated by Young Master Jiang. You don't need to feel ashamed."

"There are geniuses among geniuses."

After saying that, Gao Rong left with Jiang Man.

The three were then teleported away.

Jiang Man felt that Gao Rong's words were too subtle, not as good as Li Yuan's.

Another day of remembering Li Yuan.

According to the normal schedule, he should have entered the Foundation Building Academy by now.

Unfortunately, I'm about to form my core.

After watching Jiang Man and the other two disappear, Xiang Liang remained silent for a long time.

Jiang Man's power is somewhat...
It was beyond their comprehension.

They initially thought Jiang Man had simply reached the peak of Foundation Establishment.

To advance to the Foundation Establishment stage so quickly, one must be at the fifth or sixth level of physical cultivation and the fifth or sixth level of spiritual cultivation.

But now it seems that it was completely wrong.

His physical body was eightfold thick, and he had no ability to resist whatsoever.

Jiang Man fought them just like he fought a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He looked at Qiaoyu for a moment.

At the same time, Qiaoyu also looked at him.

If it were just this encounter, they would have no enmity with Jiang Man whatsoever.

but.
They had all previously considered making Jiang Man look bad, and even deliberately targeted him.

If this didn't happen, and no one knows about it, then it's nothing.

But once you say it out loud, others will find out.

Why didn't you say anything?
What if someone took the initiative to make a friendly gesture and say so?
If we fall behind by one step, won't we be vulnerable to attack?

In an instant, the two who were originally cooperating became each other's mortal enemies.

After the random start, many people became extremely excited.

Especially for the strong, their teammates are also strong.

Therefore, when two powerful forces join forces, very few can rival them.

At this point, the man who was originally ranked 56th, along with two other men ranked in the 70s, had lost to three teams in a row.

"Three consecutive wins. If we win one more game, it will be four consecutive wins," the man said, looking at the two people beside him.

Then they saw three people.

There's even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Isn't this just blatantly giving away points?
"A gift from nature." The man smiled slightly and launched his attack without the slightest hesitation.

He struck out with his palm, and golden light burst forth.

boom!
He felt that a team with late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators would be unable to withstand his attack.

But as the power faded, the opponent remained in the same spot.

Not only that, they have already come up to him.

In a panic, he vanished instantly, leaving only a wisp of green smoke.

"Don't be careless, this Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator is quite capable," he immediately reminded the other two.

Then they continued to make moves.

The three attacked the other side.

The opponent's movements were not large, but they were able to avoid their attacks, and occasionally a casual palm strike could neutralize them.

Fortunately, the other party had no ability to retaliate.

They secretly cooperated and activated the True Martial Technique. The opponent, having exerted so much effort, would certainly be unable to activate it.

However.
The moment one of them activated their technique, the other side immediately activated their True Martial Technique.

Fortunately, the other side was still unable to break through.

That advantage lies in their hands.

However.
No matter how they attacked afterward, the opponent was able to block them.

Heavenly Seal?
But they weren't worried. Even the Heavenly Heart Seal had its limits. Their ranking was definitely higher than their opponent's, and they could completely wear them down.

After almost an incense stick's time, even their True Martial Arts were starting to falter, while their opponents were still standing in place.

"Is that all?" Jiang Man asked.

He had no intention of going all out to defeat such a formidable enemy.

You must borrow the other party's strength to force them to merge their power.

"Who are you?" the man asked.

Jiang Man told the truth.

The game ended in a draw.

It's just a draw, they don't care.

However, out of curiosity, they used Lingyuan to check the rankings.

Their team was originally ranked in the top 30.

But upon investigation, they were stunned.

It dropped directly to fifty.

Why?

A tie shouldn't result in much change in rankings.

"The other person said his name was Jiang Man, is he from the Seventh Academy? The late Foundation Establishment stage is the Third Academy, the other one should be the Second Academy, and the three of us are from the First Academy." Another man slowly spoke, "Because we were tied with the academies with lower numbers, we got more than our share."

Three people: "."

This is hardly a draw; it's clearly a defeat.

How unlucky I am to run into this person.

After that, the number of people who had the same experience as the three gradually increased.

Everyone felt intense anger.

This person who uses the Heavenly Heart Seal is disgusting.

Why can't we wear him down?

This is clearly a clash of powers, so why not have a fair fight?
They had no complaints even after losing, and insisted on dragging it out until the time was up.

Win by drawing with the smaller number of players from your own college.

This is an insult.

Jiang Man was completely unaware of this.

Since his first battle, Jiang Man has encountered many powerful figures.

Left with no other choice, they had to use the Heavenly Heart Seal.

Furthermore, he discovered that as he fought, the fusion of his powers accelerated.

After twelve battles, his power had reached 20% of its original level.

If he can continue to fight for thirty-six battles, he can achieve a 50% fusion of power.

With a 50% chance, he has a chance to break into the top ten.

However, the speed of the battle left him somewhat exhausted.

I'm afraid I won't be able to hold out until then.

After a short rest, the thirteenth battle began.
