Chapter 37: Challenges
After killing Liu Yong, the poison king scorpion who had one of the titles of the Nine King Scorpions in the Scorpion Hall of the Five Poison Gate, Xiao Ning and the people of the Five Elements Gate were finally able to get out. After more than ten days of traveling, Xiao Ning finally returned to the Five Elements Gate again with a group of Five Elements Sect disciples.
These disciples of the Five Elements Gate all have different places to return, and outside the Five Elements Gate Mountain Gate, everyone broke up.
Xiao Ning drove alone to the firewood house where he once lived, and now it is full of firewood and grass, Xiao Ning disappeared for nearly three months, and this place has simply become a firewood house.
After wandering around the firewood room for a while, a miscellaneous disciple happened to pass by here, and hurriedly greeted Xiao Ning after seeing him.
"Is this senior brother an outer disciple Xiao Ning?" This person was not sure of Xiao Ning's identity, but he was very clever.
This firewood house was originally where Xiao Ning once lived, and ordinary people would not come here, and it was likely that only Xiao Ning would be interested here.
Xiao Ning nodded slightly, and said: "That's right, I am Xiao Ning, before the big competition in the outer gate, I still want to live here, I hope this junior brother can clean up for me, as long as there is a place that can accommodate me to live, these are two Tempered Tendon Pills, it can be regarded as the reward I asked you to help!"
Now Xiao Ning is no longer the original, he has taken a turn from the Xiling Wasteland, he has fished a lot of pills, and this low-level pill is nothing to him.
"This ...... Thank you, Senior Brother Xiao Ning!" This miscellaneous disciple trembled and took the Tempering Pill, obviously not expecting Xiao Ning to be so generous.
After thanking him for his kindness, this miscellaneous disciple quickly put away the Tempering Pill, as if he was afraid that Xiao Ning would change his mind. After putting away the Tempered Tendon Pill, the miscellaneous disciple immediately got busy and cleaned the firewood room for Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning watched the movements of the miscellaneous disciple Ma Li on the side, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Once upon a time, he was also like this miscellaneous disciple, constantly busy, just to get a Tempering Pills in the sect.
Now that the current situation has changed, he will actually take two Tempering Pills, just ask someone to help him clean a place where he can rest. In the meantime, he didn't even ask the other party's name.
Xiao Ning's mood was very complicated, but he didn't do anything, just watched the miscellaneous disciple finish his work, and then said with a smile: "Thank you!"
"Senior brother, don't be polite, if you need me, just say, I'm in that firewood house on the west side!" said the miscellaneous disciple.
"Okay, I'll look for you if I have something, you can go back first!" Xiao Ning smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.
"Goodbye, senior brother!" the miscellaneous disciple's face bloomed with joy, and he trotted towards his residence.
Xiao Ning didn't have a chance to be an outer disciple, and stepped into the firewood room. The firewood room is still a firewood room, but Xiao Ning feels completely different when he comes in again.
There is no firewood and grass, but there is a simple wooden bed. Xiao Ning had been lamenting the difference between the beginning and the present, but he didn't pay attention to when the miscellaneous disciple moved a wooden bed.
Lying quietly on the wooden bed, Xiao Ning closed his eyes, he was too tired for nearly three months, and he had to be vigilant every moment, it was indeed not a human life.
This was the first time Xiao Ning had slept in bed, not to mention how comfortable it was, and he didn't wake up until it was dark the next day.
When he woke up, Xiao Ning found that there was an extra basin of water in his room.
This was brought by the miscellaneous disciple, with Xiao Ning's current cultivation, he could detect the wind and grass around him, but he didn't even open his eyelids.
Xiao Ning didn't want this miscellaneous disciple to feel dependent on him, a real strong person needs to have a strong heart, and he can't rely on others.
The miscellaneous disciple also seemed to understand Xiao Ning's thoughts, and after leaving a basin of water, he didn't come back.
Xiao Ning stretched his waist, briefly washed with the basin of water, gently pushed open the firewood door, found a big stone, sat down gently, and rarely basked in the sun leisurely.
However, this leisure did not last long, and a few figures in the distance came to this firewood house with a few ups and downs.
"Xiao Ning, I thought you were not here for fear of being challenged and fled, your three-month protection period has expired, can you accept the challenge?" The person who spoke was none other than Zhao Fei, who had been beaten by Xiao Ning with a wooden sword before.
Xiao Ning's eyes narrowed, and he saw the depth of this Zhao Fei, and he was slightly surprised. He himself had gone through a period of life and death before he had been able to raise his cultivation to the fourth level of the human law realm, which was only one step away from the realm of Xiaocheng. This Zhao Fei is not bad, his cultivation has reached the third level of the human law realm. In the Five Elements Sect, he cultivated to the third level of the Human Law Realm, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
After a brief moment of surprise, Xiao Ning's heart quickly returned to calm, and said lightly: "Zhao Fei, do you want me to launch a challenge?"
Although this Zhao Fei had already raised his cultivation to the third level of the Human Law Realm, Xiao Ning didn't care, and now he wanted to defeat this Zhao Fei, which could be said to be a breeze.
Listening to Xiao Ning's words, Zhao Fei's eyes showed a trace of disdain, and said, "Do you think this was three months ago? Now are you still worthy of my challenge? Tell you, I won't challenge you now, let's talk about it when you defeat them all!"
When Zhao Fei said this, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes.
"Defeat them?" Xiao Ning looked at the few people around Zhao Fei.
The cultivation of these people is not weak, and they have all reached the third level of the human law realm, and one of them has even approached the third level of the human law realm.
"That's right, to beat us. Don't pretend, although there has been no news from you in the past three months, but we don't believe that you really left the Five Elements Gate, I think you must be hiding somewhere to cultivate, but no matter how hard you try, it is destined to be in vain, and now Senior Brother Zhao is already one of the top ten disciples of the outer gate, will you know this news? He is very hopeful that he will get the qualification to become an inner disciple in this outer door competition, you want him to challenge you just to put gold on his face, even if you are defeated, you can also say, I am defeated in the five elements of the outer door of the top ten disciples, and there is no shame! It's a pity that Senior Brother Zhao has already thought of this layer, so he asked us to challenge you, this time we want to teach you a good lesson for Senior Brother Zhao!"
Xiao Ning frowned slightly, he really didn't know that this Zhao Fei was so promising, and he had become one of the top ten disciples of the outer sect.
"Since you want to challenge me, that's fine, but isn't it very boring to challenge like this, why don't we add some color?" Xiao Ning said with a move in his brain.
The few people who were found by Zhao Fei were stunned for a moment and asked, "Caitou, what are you talking about?"
Xiao Ning always maintained a smile on his face, and when he saw these people in the trap, he said: "Of course it's cultivation resources, you are all official outer disciples, and you can receive sect benefits every month, so let's do it, three months of sect benefits as a bet." Whether I lose or you lose, you need to pay three months of sect benefits, how about it?"
Coming back from the Xiling Wasteland, although Xiao Ning had a lot of cultivation resources on his body, he knew that this was far from enough, his sea of qi, which was much larger than others, and his ability to consume pills was really amazing, so Xiao Ning had to get more resources!
"Three-month Pei Yuan Dan and Pure Spirit Pill?" These people were slightly stunned, and seemed to be a little embarrassed.
Their cultivation level is at the same level, and the benefits they can receive from the sect are Pei Yuan Dan and Pure Spirit Pill are three per month, these pills are all necessary for their cultivation, if they win, it's fine, but once they lose, they are likely to have to stay in place for three months.
Zhao Fei also frowned, he didn't expect Xiao Ning to come to such a hand, but he quickly said: "Don't be frightened by him, I don't believe how powerful a person who doesn't dare to show up in the sect for three months can be, this kid probably wants to open his mouth and scare you away, but he doesn't actually have any real skills!"
In Zhao Fei's opinion, Xiao Ning didn't show up for the past three months because he was simply hiding, and now that he has come out, it is likely that he is just a restriction of the identity of an outer disciple, and he has to come out to accept the challenge of others.
"Yes, Senior Brother Zhao has a point, okay, Xiao Ning, I'll bet with you!" Soon, one person agreed to Xiao Ning's conditions.
"We're betting with you too!" said one person, and the others did the same.
Zhao Fei's face once again showed a touch of pride, like a winner, looking at Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning also smiled, he was worried that his cultivation resources were not enough, but now it was okay. But when the time comes, he will definitely make a big deal about the bet, so that these people have no room to regret it.
"Xiao Ning, if you're brave enough, come with us to the Spirit Arena!" Zhao Fei and the few people he brought looked at Xiao Ning, their eyes full of provocation.
"Okay!" Xiao Ning didn't say anything, and with Zhao Fei and the others, he soon came to the Spirit Doutai.
The Spirit Arena is the only place where disciples are allowed to fight outside the Five Elements Gate, and the challenge must be here.
There are many people who challenge each other every day, and there are also managers who are responsible for recording the performance of those who fight at the Altar.
"Lord Vice-Deacon, we are going to challenge Xiao Ning and want to apply for a Spirit Fighting Stage!" Zhao Fei said in front of one of the deputy deacons in charge of the Spirit Arena.
As soon as the deputy deacon raised his head and looked at Xiao Ning, Zhao Fei and the others, he was stunned at that time, and said to Zhao Fei: "Are you going to challenge Xiao Ning?"
Zhao Fei was also stunned, he had also been to this spirit arena before, but he had never seen this deacon ask like this, and immediately said: "Yes, please arrange a spirit arena for us!"
The deputy deacon shook his head slightly, and then said with a big stroke of his pen: "Let's go to the No. 3 Spirit Fighting Platform!"
"Thank you!" Xiao Ning smiled respectfully at the deputy deacon.
The deputy deacon didn't say anything more, and immediately let a few people go.
There are a total of five spirit fighting platforms in the Spirit Fighting Arena outside the Five Elements Gate, and the No. 3 Spirit Fighting Platform is in the middle.
Rub......
When he arrived at the Spirit Fighting Platform, a person next to Zhao Fei jumped up.
"Ge Tong, an outer disciple of the Lower Five Elements Sect, is going to challenge Xiao Ning, an outer disciple of the Outer Sect, today!" said this person as soon as he took the stage.
"Ge Tong, is it the one who is ranked twenty in the outer gate? I remember that his opponent was beaten badly last time, and this time that Xiao Ning is going to be unlucky!"
As soon as Ge Tong's words were finished, the following began to discuss.
