"What!"
Chen Fan stood up, a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. He looked at Su Wuchen in shock and said, "You… how are you so strong?"
After a moment of surprise, Jiang Hong said to Chen Fan, "Duh, he beat Lu Tianlang, who's sixth on the Outer Sect Battle Power Ranking. It's no surprise that you, who's seventh, aren't a match for him."
What the two of them didn't know was that Su Wuchen had broken through to the third level of the Mortal Martial Realm last night!
Chen Fan also looked at Jiang Hong and said, "Stop being so smug! Hurry up and help! If we can't take him back and Young Master Ye blames us, neither of us will get off easy!"
"I don't need you to tell me!"
Jiang Hong frowned and said, "Attack!"
After reaching an agreement, the two of them simultaneously unleashed the aura of the fourth level of the Mortal Martial Realm, charging towards Su Wuchen with menacing momentum.
"Since you like to be abused, I'll grant your wish!"
Su Wuchen snorted coldly, and a sharp sword immediately appeared in his hand.
When Chen Fan and Jiang Hong were only a yard away from him, the sword in his hand suddenly swung twice in succession.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Two sharp sword qi immediately shot out from the blade, slashing towards Chen Fan and Jiang Hong's thighs respectively, and blood gushed out.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
The two of them groaned in pain and immediately fell to the ground, landing flat on their faces, looking utterly disheveled.
Watching the two rolling on the ground, Su Wuchen's face showed a cold expression as he said, "Where did you two come from? Get back there, and scram!"
Chen Fan gritted his teeth, his face contorted, and said ferociously, "Su Wuchen, you're ruthless! We admit defeat today!"
"But don't think this matter is over!"
"We will report this to Young Master Ye. You dared to refuse Young Master Ye's invitation, which means you are going against Young Master Ye!"
"If you make Young Master Ye angry, you will find it impossible to move an inch in the Outer Sect!"
"Just wait for Young Master Ye's revenge, hmmph!"
After leaving those threatening words, the two of them stood up with difficulty, then helped each other and limped away from the scene.
...
After closing the courtyard gate, Su Wuchen returned to the small building.
He wasn't afraid of the threats from the two just now, but each time, stronger enemies appeared. If he wanted to protect himself, he had to keep getting stronger!
And to keep getting stronger, he needed a constant supply of cultivation resources to improve his cultivation.
But at this moment, what he lacked most was cultivation resources!
Suddenly, he remembered the Sect rules handbook, which mentioned that Sect disciples could obtain cultivation resources by doing Sect missions!
Sect missions were tasks issued by the Sect!
As long as a Sect disciple could complete a mission, they would receive a certain amount of Sect Points.
Once you have Sect Points, you can exchange them for various cultivation resources within the Sect.
For example, you can exchange them for Pills, Cultivation Techniques, Martial Skills, Weapons, Spirit Artifacts, and other items.
However, besides undertaking missions outside the Sect, there's another way to obtain cultivation resources more quickly.
That is to climb the Outer Sect Battle Power Ranking!
After reading the Sect rules handbook, Chen Fan knew that the Outer Sect Battle Power Ranking listed the top one hundred strongest disciples among all Outer Sect disciples!
If an Outer Sect disciple's name could be listed on the Outer Sect Battle Power Ranking, they would receive corresponding cultivation resources as a reward from the Sect!
For example:
Outer Sect disciples ranked in the top ten on the Outer Sect Battle Power Ranking would receive one hundred Grade 4 Pills, one thousand Grade 3 Pills, and the opportunity to learn a mid-Earth Rank Martial Skill upon their first promotion.
Those ranked in the top ten but below the top twenty would receive ninety Grade 4 Pills, nine hundred Grade 3 Pills, and the opportunity to learn a set of Earth Rank, low-grade Martial Skills from the Sect!
Those ranked in the top twenty but below the top thirty would receive eighty Grade 4 Pills and eight hundred Grade 3 Pills!
Those ranked in the top thirty but below the top forty would receive seventy Grade 4 Pills and seven hundred Grade 3 Pills!
Those ranked in the top forty but below the top fifty would receive sixty Grade 4 Pills and six hundred Grade 3 Pills!
Those ranked in the top fifty but below the top sixty would receive fifty Grade 4 Pills and five hundred Grade 3 Pills!
Furthermore, the Sect would regularly reward Outer Sect disciples on the Outer Sect Battle Power Ranking with corresponding prizes each year.
To improve one's ranking on the Outer Sect Battle Power Ranking, one had to go to the Battle Power Ranking Hall in the Outer Sect.
So, Su Wuchen decided to first go and try to get on the Outer Sect Battle Power Ranking before taking on any Sect tasks.
\n\n
Therefore, after a simple tidy-up, he went out.
\n\n
He soon arrived at the Outer Sect Battle Power Ranking Hall.
\n\n
According to the Sect's rulebook, this Outer Sect Battle Power Ranking Hall was specifically for recording the names of Outer Sect disciples who could advance on the Outer Sect Battle Power Ranking.
\n\n
As he entered the hall, he saw a white-haired old man walking towards him.
\n\n
At that moment, he realized that the white-haired old man had concealed his aura, appearing like an ordinary person. However, Su Wuchen felt an invisible pressure emanating from him.
\n\n
He knew that the white-haired old man was very strong!
\n\n
"Disciple Su Wuchen greets Elder Zhu!" Su Wuchen bowed respectfully to the white-haired old man.
According to the Sect's rulebook, the main person in charge of the Outer Sect Battle Power Ranking hall was none other than Elder Zhu Yongzhang!
Zhu Yongzhang raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "You are Su Wuchen?"
Su Wuchen was taken aback, "Elder Zhu knows of me?"
Zhu Yongzhang replied, "On your first day entering the Sect, you consecutively defeated Lu Tianlang and Lu Feng, who were ranked sixth and tenth on the Outer Sect Battle Power Ranking. You're a rising supernova in the Outer Sect; how could I not know of you?"
Hearing this, Su Wuchen awkwardly scratched his head.
"You're here today to advance your ranking on the Outer Sect Battle Power Ranking?" Zhu Yongzhang asked.
Su Wuchen replied, "Yes."
"Alright."
Zhu Yongzhang nodded slightly. "Although you've already defeated Lu Tianlang and Lu Feng, who are both in the top ten of the Outer Sect Battle Power Ranking, you are here to register for a ranking test. You must choose to challenge an Outer Sect disciple on the list in front of me! As long as you succeed in the challenge, you can replace the ranking of the challenged disciple and successfully advance on the Outer Sect Battle Power Ranking!"
Hearing this, Su Wuchen nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.
According to the promotion rules, if he wanted to advance in the Outer Sect Battle Power Ranking, he had to challenge someone already on the list.
At this moment, Zhu Yongzhang pointed to a spot on the left wall of the hall and said to Su Wuchen, "That's where the Outer Sect Battle Power Ranking list is hanging. Go over there and take a look. After you've chosen who you want to challenge, tell me! Also, once you've made your choice, I'll send someone to bring the person you've chosen to challenge here. Rest assured, unless the person you've chosen is not in the Sect, they cannot refuse the challenge you are initiating!"
"Alright!"
After Su Wuchen nodded slightly, he walked over to view the Outer Sect Battle Power Ranking list hanging on the wall. He saw that the rankings were as follows:
First Place: Ye Wen, cultivation at the eighth level of the Mortal Martial Realm.
Second Place: Qin Feng, cultivation at the seventh level of the Mortal Martial Realm.
Third place: Leng Wushang, cultivation at the sixth level of the Mortal Martial Realm.
Fourth place: Li Feilong, cultivation at the fifth level of the Mortal Martial Realm.
Fifth place: Zhou Xiaohong, cultivation at the fifth level of the Mortal Martial Realm.
Sixth place: Lu Tianlang, cultivation at the fourth level of the Mortal Martial Realm.
Seventh place: Chen Fan, cultivation at the fourth level of the Mortal Martial Realm.
Eighth place: Jiang Hong, cultivation at the fourth level of the Mortal Martial Realm.
Ninth place: Lu Tao, cultivation at the third level of the Mortal Martial Realm.
Tenth place: Lu Feng, cultivation at the third level of the Mortal Martial Realm.
Eleventh: Chen Yang, cultivation at the Mortal Martial Realm, Third Heaven.
Twelfth: Moming, cultivation at the Mortal Martial Realm, Third Heaven.
Thirteenth: Mo Shan, cultivation at the Mortal Martial Realm, Third Heaven.
Fourteenth: Lu Hongya, cultivation at the Mortal Martial Realm, Third Heaven.
Fifteenth: Chen Jiushan, cultivation at the Mortal Martial Realm, Second Heaven.
After reading the ranking list, Su Wuchen finally knew that Chen Jiushan was ranked fifteenth on the Outer Sect Battle Power Ranking.
Meanwhile.
Zhu Yongzhang was a little curious about whether Su Wuchen would choose Lu Tianlang and Lu Feng, the brothers he had already defeated, to accept the challenge.
Half an hour passed.
Su Wuchen turned to Zhu Yongzhang and said, "Elder Zhu, I've made my choice. I choose to challenge Leng Wushang, who is ranked third on the Outer Sect Battle Power Ranking!"
"What did you say!"
Zhu Yongzhang's eyes widened instantly.
He hadn't expected Su Wuchen to challenge Leng Wushang, who was ranked third on the Outer Sect Battle Power Ranking!
He said, "Su Wuchen, I know you have good talent. On your first day in the Outer Sect, you defeated two people in the top ten of the Outer Sect Battle Power Ranking, but this Leng Wushang is no small character. He is ranked third on the Outer Sect Battle Power Ranking. Are you sure you want to challenge him?"
"I'm sure!"
Su Wuchen said without hesitation.
The reason he wanted to challenge Leng Wushang was because Leng Wushang was at the sixth level of the Mortal Martial Realm.
He was now confident that he could fight someone at the fifth level of the Mortal Martial Realm!
He even had some confidence that he could defeat a fifth-level Mortal Martial Realm expert.
But…
That didn't seem like much of a challenge!
He wanted to go big!
So, he chose to challenge Leng Wushang, who was ranked third on the Outer Sect Battle Power Ranking.
Lose, and it's his life!
Win, and it's his fortune!
He really wanted to challenge his own limits right now!
