Cultivation! My Augmented Statuses Have Unlimited Duration

Chapter 124: Beginning of the Martial Competition

“Don’t touch him!”

When he saw that Jiang Li was about to get up and come out, Little Four, who had been blushing for some reason, went up to help him, but she was hurriedly stopped by Elder He.

Senior Sister Little Four retreated in confusion. In the next second, the huge vat shattered under Jiang Li’s uncontrollable force.

Jiang Li was also stunned. He was still holding onto a piece of the jar.

He also felt that something was amiss and took a step forward.

Bang!

The limestone floor beneath his feet was directly shattered by his stomp. In just two moves, this quiet room was completely ruined by him.

Jiang Li only felt the muscles in his entire body swell up as his strength rose greatly.

However, following that, he lost control of his body’s strength.

Although it was not as exaggerated as the full power of the Armored Horse Divine Travel, the power unleashed by any of his movements was enough to destroy the stone floor.

“Master, I’m going out to dig holes.”

“Senior Sister Little Four, thank you so much this time. It’s a little inconvenient for me now. I’ll definitely pay you a visit someday.”

Under Elder He’s murderous gaze, Jiang Li did not dare to move recklessly. After exchanging greetings with Senior Sister Little Four, he reached out and summoned the Dragon Imprisoning Lock that he had set aside, allowing it to bring him towards the open space outside.

Soon, an exaggerated rumble sounded from the empty space.

If not for the fact that Jiang Li had already carved a circle of sound absorption runes around this place, the entire Demon Vanquishing Hall would not be able to sleep for a long time under his continuous pounding.

This lasted for another seven days and seven nights.

During this period of time, the registration for the sect competition would begin. It was naturally impossible for Elder He to deny Jiang Li’s participation.

It should be said that he had been waiting for this opportunity to show off for a long time.

He could not help but feel excited when he thought about how the young disciple he had just taken in for a few months would beat up a group of geniuses.

Therefore, before Jiang Li could say anything, Elder He had already signed up for him.

During this time, Yan Hong sent him another bag of golden powder and golden paint, finally covering his entire body with the Anti-Demon Golden Skin.

Of course, this also meant that he would no longer have any affinity with beautiful female ghosts.

Yan Hong had finally stepped into the mid-stage Qi Refinement realm too. As Jiang Li gradually gained a foothold in the sect, his business also improved.

Apart from giving Jiang Li a portion of the dividends every month and the expenditures he used for his own cultivation, he could even give some spirit stones to his lackey disciples as bonuses.

According to him, he planned to set up a stall and send people to the Immortal Ascension Pavilion’s bazaar. At that time, he would be able to earn more than ten times the amount of spirit stones.

After that, Jiang Li once again visited Senior Sister Little Four’s Alchemy Chamber.

Unfortunately, the few bottles of good wine that he brought with him did not come in handy. Instead, she dragged him to deal with a large pile of spiritual materials that needed to be processed with great effort.

After that, Elder He’s disciples, Liu Mulan, and a few other disciples who met the requirements for the competition also rushed back to the sect.

Jiang Li had seen all of them before. All of them were super fierce men with tattoos on their bodies.

Although Jiang Li was strong enough, he was still young. When he stood beside them, it was as if a potato had mixed into a group of pumpkins.

They treated this junior brother of theirs, Jiang Li, pretty well. Basically, every single one of them had the intention to give him a gift, and it even allowed Jiang Li to surprisingly make a small profit.

Time passed day by day, and it was getting closer and closer to the time of the sect martial arts competition. On the ground below the floating main arena, another ten small arenas appeared.

At that time, the floating platform would be the stage for Foundation Establishment disciples. This was because if Foundation Establishment disciples used their full strength to cast spell techniques, the damage range would be very difficult to grasp and it was very likely that they would accidentally injure the audience.

As for the weaker Qi Refinement realm disciples, they would fight in the arena.

Of course, if both sides’ disciples wanted to fight in the air, this arena could also be used.

Soon, it was the day of the sect martial arts competition.

The Valley Master of the Scripture Storage Valley and many of the higher-ups gathered in the Long Clear Hall. After that, the entire hall soared into the sky and landed on a cloud, exuding an immortal aura.

From that height, the field of vision would definitely be perfect. All eleven arenas could be seen clearly.

The inner sect disciples could choose to board the sect’s flying ship and stand on the deck to watch the large and small arena in the center.

As for the outer sect disciples, they did not receive such good treatment. The ten Qi Refinement realm disciples’ rings on the ground were not bad. If they wanted to see the exciting battle between the Foundation Establishment realm senior brothers, they could only look up.

Following that, a sect elder came out to announce the rules of the competition.

There were no rules actually.

One could use artifacts, talismans, and even swallow pills on the spot. This was the rule set by the Great Mountain Cultivator Competition. As long as one could win, all other trivial matters were nothing.

Of course, killing was not allowed in the sect.

“Jiang Li, are you really going to fight in this ring?”

“I heard that only two of the Qi Refinement realm disciples who are participating in this Martial Competition are at the mid-stage Qi Refinement realm. The other senior brothers and sisters are all at the late-stage Qi Refinement realm. Is it really fine for you to go up like this?”

Yan Hong stood beside Jiang Li and chattered non-stop. In his eyes, or in the eyes of most cultivators at his level, the Qi Refinement cultivation realm represented everything.

“Have you forgotten that I was able to capture that Dragon Tortoise last time? What can a few Qi Refinement disciples do against me?”

Yan Hong was in the trading area at that time and did not see the true body of the Dragon Tortoise. Later on, when he heard people talk about it, he only thought that it was exaggerated.

In his mind, there was a deeply-rooted view,?a mid-stage Qi Refinement cultivator could never defeat a late-stage Qi Refinement cultivator.

It was nothing much, he was just ignorant.

“Moreover, it’s just the late-stage Qi Refinement realm. I’m almost there.” Jiang Li rolled his eyes helplessly, and then he muttered to himself.

It had been more than two months since he had broken through to the sixth level of the Ghost Wood Art. He had spent a long period of time cultivating his movement technique, so he did not have much time to cultivate his Qi Refinement cultivation method.

However, the effect of [Spiritual Qi Infusion] was indeed powerful, causing him to already be at the peak of the sixth level. He was only a step away from breaking through to the late-stage Qi Refinement realm.

“Right, you said that other than me, there is another mid-stage Qi Refinement realm disciple who is participating in the Martial Competition. Do you know who it is?”

Jiang Li became curious about this. Besides him, who else was so brave?

“Look over there, isn’t that the one?”

Yan Hong quietly pointed in a direction. Jiang Li looked over and discovered that in a corner of the waiting area sat a youth who was similar to them in age. The expression between his brows was indifferent, as if he was arrogant to the point of disdaining all life in the world.

However, Jiang Li suddenly felt that this posturing expression was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
