Chapter 46

Boom!!!

Zhuge Xiang's words were no less than a bombshell. Whether it was the disciples from the previous session on Green Willow Peak or those who had been attracted over, they were all greatly shocked. His words were indeed fierce and domineering.

Every new batch of Asura Sect disciples would be suppressed by the previous batch when they first arrived. This was quite normal, much like in a military camp where new recruits would always be bullied by the veterans. This was almost an unwritten rule. However, this batch of new disciples had just arrived and immediately rushed to Green Willow Peak, aiming to dampen the morale of the previous batch. This was a completely fierce and unexpected move.

"Are these newbies all crazy?" Although Zhuge Xiang's words were domineering, how could the newbies, who had just arrived, match the cultivation of the disciples who had been in the Asura headquarters for a year? Therefore, while Zhuge Xiang's words were shocking, no one believed them. No matter how fierce the words were, if they couldn't be done, they were just empty talk.

"Heh heh, this batch of newbies is indeed interesting, especially the leader. A half-body magical tool and the fourth level of the Qi Cultivation Realm. Such a lineup is indeed rare among newbies," among the onlookers, a few disciples at the Body Tempering Realm had a playful and curious smile on their faces, clearly enjoying the show.

"Do you newbies want to die? The strongest among you is only at the fourth level of the Qi Cultivation Realm," the disciples of Green Willow Peak shouted angrily. The unwritten rules of the Asura Sect had never changed over the years, but today, their batch was being bullied by the new disciples. If this news got out, the thousands of disciples in their batch would never be able to hold their heads high in the Asura Sect.

The seventh-level Qi Cultivation Realm disciple who had spoken earlier also widened his eyes in surprise, clearly not expecting Zhuge Xiang to say such a thing. However, his face soon turned dark, and the aura of the seventh-level Qi Cultivation Realm spread out, pressing toward Zhuge Xiang: "Do you want to die? I'll grant your wish!"

Seventh-level Qi Cultivation Realm? This cultivation level was indeed high, three levels higher than Zhuge Xiang. However, since Zhuge Xiang had dared to come, he had his own confidence. The two sixth-level Qi Cultivation Realm disciples had given him 400 experience points and only dropped one Qi Recovery Pill. The true reason Zhuge Xiang had dared to come was a Courage Medal.

Under the Aurora Asura Tower, Zhuge Xiang had been killing monsters in the outer area for four or five days, and the drops were not many: only two Blood Recovery Pills, two Qi Recovery Pills, one Iron Secret Medicine, and a Courage Medal. The Courage Medal was dropped from a one-star superior demon beast...

The Iron Secret Medicine, which directly added 100 points of defense, was used by Zhuge Xiang during his first duel with Li Bin. He didn't expect to get another one after more than half a month. Zhuge Xiang was well aware of the value of the Blood Recovery Pills and Qi Recovery Pills, but the truly valuable item was the Courage Medal.

Courage Medal (Special Item): No level requirement, all attributes increased by 100%, lasts for 300 seconds, disappears after use.

The 300-second duration was enough to quickly kill a one-star superior demon beast, but it was very difficult to encounter another one-star superior demon beast within 300 seconds. Therefore, the remaining time would be wasted. During his training in the Endless Mountains, Zhuge Xiang never used it. Today, at the Asura headquarters, being provoked by the previous batch of disciples, a flash of inspiration came to Zhuge Xiang. It was impossible to encounter multiple one-star superior demon beasts at the same time, but the Asura Sect had plenty of disciples at the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth levels of the Qi Cultivation Realm. Thus, Zhuge Xiang came to Green Willow Peak.

On one hand, he was determined to resist the suppression from the previous batch of disciples. On the other hand, he could perfectly utilize his Courage Medal here without wasting it. So, Zhuge Xiang came here. Instead of waiting for them to go to Bamboo Peak one by one, he decided to directly attack Green Willow Peak.

Challenging their so-called geniuses, taking advantage of the 300-second effect of the Courage Medal to gain more experience. After all, to advance to the fifth level of the Qi Cultivation Realm, he needed 10,000 experience points.

Zhuge Xiang came here partly because he was angry about the suppression from the previous batch of disciples, but fundamentally, it was to fully utilize the effect of the Courage Medal to gain more experience. Unexpectedly, when he came to Green Willow Peak, Lu Yuling and the other disciples almost all followed, and even more, a large crowd attracted other disciples, turning the situation into a confrontation between the new and previous batches of disciples.

Although the development of events was somewhat unexpected, Zhuge Xiang did not dislike it. Now that things had come to this, he could only defeat these geniuses from the previous batch one by one.

"Newbies should have the awareness of newbies. Green Willow Peak is not a place for you to run wild," the seventh-level Qi Cultivation Realm disciple on the opposite side, with a look of anger, held a horse-chopping saber. The blade glowed like a ribbon, clearly indicating that he was enraged and wanted to quickly defeat Zhuge Xiang, the leader, to intimidate the new disciples.

Courage Medal!!!

With a low shout, Zhuge Xiang activated the effect of the Courage Medal, all attributes increased by 100%, and he did not want to waste this precious time. With a Blood Refinement Blade, he used the Violent Step, transforming into a shadow that was hard to catch, passing by the opposite disciple.

The 50% attribute increase from the Blood Thirst Skill already made Zhuge Xiang's Violent Step hard to catch. Now, with a 100% attribute increase, the speed was even more terrifying.

Attack, defense, attack speed, and movement speed all doubled, plus the enhancement from the half-body magical tool, especially the Violent Step, a powerful skill. Zhuge Xiang believed that at this moment, no cultivator below the Body Tempering Realm could be his match.

The hard-to-catch speed, equivalent to the attack power of a seventh-level Qi Cultivation Realm cultivator, and the defense of a Body Tempering Realm cultivator. Otherwise, no one could stop his blade with the Violent Step.

Blood splattered, and the seventh-level Qi Cultivation Realm disciple only felt Zhuge Xiang flash past him, followed by intense pain in his chest. A huge wound appeared on his chest, almost splitting him in half.

"Anyone else!?" The seventh-level Qi Cultivation Realm disciple was also killed in one move. Zhuge Xiang pointed his Blood Refinement Blade at the previous batch of disciples on Green Willow Peak and asked coldly.

"No... It's impossible... Liu Tian is at the seventh level of the Qi Cultivation Realm... He was one of the top eight in the grand competition. It's impossible for him to be defeated so easily," originally, they wanted to see how the arrogant Zhuge Xiang would be suppressed, but the reality was completely opposite, shocking them. A seventh-level Qi Cultivation Realm cultivator, killed in one move? Is this really a newbie?

"Is... Is he really Zhuge Xiang?" Although they knew Zhuge Xiang was strong, even Hua Nongying and the others widened their eyes, unable to believe what they saw. A seventh-level Qi Cultivation Realm cultivator, killed in one move? How could his strength improve so quickly?

"His speed is so fast. Although his attack power is not enough to injure me, his speed is hard to avoid," even the Body Tempering Realm disciples who were watching the show with interest had more serious expressions.

Body Tempering Realm, using qi to temper the body, not only makes the body stronger but also enhances the body's resistance to attacks. If they practiced techniques like the Golden Bell Cover, their physical defense could be comparable to a four-star or even five-star defensive magical tool. Zhuge Xiang's blade was not enough to injure a Body Tempering Realm disciple, but the speed of the Violent Step scared them.

"Such a strong newbie, I'll play with you..." When Zhuge Xiang pointed his Blood Refinement Blade at the Green Willow Peak disciples, a ghostly voice sounded behind him. Before Zhuge Xiang could react, he was hit from behind, forcing him to stagger forward a few steps. His throat felt sweet, and his character panel showed 140 health points dropping by half.

The Flowing Cloud Cloak added a shield that absorbed 20 points of damage, and the half-body equipment added about 50 points of defense. Even with the Courage Medal's effect doubled, he still lost half his health points. If it weren't for the special effect of the Flowing Cloud Cloak, he would have been severely injured and almost unable to fight.

The ghostly attack made Zhuge Xiang's face change. Without hesitation, he swallowed a Blood Recovery Pill. At the same time, he swung his Blood Refinement Blade backward, but it missed. A semi-transparent shadow flashed by, like a ghost, hard to catch.

"Haha, it's Zhang Ying. His Phantom Step has reached perfection. Is this the advanced version of the Phantom Step, the Ghost Shadow Step, which has a certain effect of hiding the body?" Seeing Zhuge Xiang being hit and injured, and the semi-transparent shadow flashing behind him, the disciples who were intimidated by Zhuge Xiang's strength laughed out loud.

The advanced version of the Phantom Step, the Ghost Shadow Step, when used by Zhang Ying, occasionally showed a semi-transparent shadow in the field, truly like a ghost. Zhuge Xiang's face turned cold. Although it was still a one-on-one duel, he had almost been ambushed, and he was naturally furious.

"Ghost Shadow Step? With a certain effect of hiding the body? If you have the ability, try to get close to me again..." The Blood Refinement Blade pointed diagonally at the ground, Zhuge Xiang relaxed his body, showing no signs of defense or alertness, waiting for the opponent to launch the second attack. Once the opponent attacked again, it would be his time to fall.
