After Zhu Yongzhang's announcement, Su Wuchen, standing on the stage, was already panting heavily.
Although he had defeated Qin Feng, he was also injured. After all, his opponent was Qin Feng, who was at the sixth level of the Mortal Martial Realm!
A significant reason he managed to defeat Qin Feng was because he had secretly used the Chaos Overlord Body Technique to absorb some of Qin Feng's power.
As Qin Feng gradually weakened, Su Wuchen pressed his advantage, delivering a fatal blow that won him the match.
The gazes of the crowd towards Su Wuchen became increasingly excited and admiring.
At this moment, Zhu Yongzhang looked at Su Wuchen, and the shock in his eyes had yet to fade.
He knew that Su Wuchen's name had been etched into the minds of every Outer Sect disciple!
He said, "Su Wuchen, you won the match and have successfully advanced to third on the Outer Sect Battle Power Ranking. According to the sect's regulations, you can now come with me to receive one hundred Fourth-Grade Pills, one thousand Third-Grade Pills, and a set of Earth Grade Mid-Level Martial Skills! Follow me!"
"Alright!"
After nodding slightly, Su Wuchen followed Zhu Yongzhang to receive his rewards for winning the match.
After receiving his rewards, Su Wuchen went directly back to his residence.
After taking a shower, he took out the rewards he had just received.
"One hundred Fourth-Grade Pills, one thousand Third-Grade Pills, this reward is indeed generous."
He didn't expect that the rewards for being in the top ten of the Outer Sect Battle Power Ranking would include so many Fourth-Grade Pills.
And he was seeing a Fourth-Grade Pill for the first time.
"These pills should be enough to help me slowly break through to the fourth layer of the Mortal Martial Realm!"
After saying that, Su Wuchen started to circulate the Chaos Overlord Body Technique to absorb the pills, preparing to break through to the fourth layer of the Mortal Martial Realm!
Right now, the only way for him to protect himself and do more was to constantly become stronger.
It was not until the evening.
Boom!
"I did it!"
A surge of immense power once again erupted from Su Wuchen's body…
At this moment, he had successfully broken through to the fourth layer of the Mortal Martial Realm!
"Now that I've broken through to the fourth layer of the Mortal Martial Realm, with my current physical strength, and if I use my sword, I might even be able to fight against a seventh layer Mortal Martial Realm expert!"
A satisfied smile appeared on Su Wuchen's face.
Then, he looked down and saw that there were still many rewards left on the ground.
"I didn't expect that after breaking through to the fourth layer of the Mortal Martial Realm, I would still have 85 Fourth-Grade Pills left! These 85 Fourth-Grade Pills might be enough for me to break through to the fifth layer of the Mortal Martial Realm!"
"However, I'll consolidate my cultivation at the fourth layer of the Mortal Martial Realm for a few days, so I won't rush to break through so quickly!"
The next morning.
After Su Wuchen woke up again, he decided he would do a Sect mission today.
Although he had already broken through to the Mortal Martial Realm, fourth level, he knew it wasn't nearly enough!
Because in a year, Empress Feng Yao would descend again to cultivate with him for the second time.
Before leaving, Empress Feng Yao had warned him that he must break through to the Heavenly Martial Realm within a year.
Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand the next cultivation session.
So, whether it was to protect his lower back or to save his life,
he had to break through to the Heavenly Martial Realm within a year!
Therefore, he didn't dare to slack off at all and had to constantly strive to improve his cultivation.
Subsequently, he went out again and arrived at the Mission Hall of the Outer Sect!
According to the Sect's rulebook, the missions in the Mission Hall were categorized into three types based on difficulty: ordinary missions, intermediate missions, and difficult missions.
Each category of missions was further divided into ten levels!
The higher the mission level, the greater the difficulty.
But the Sect Points earned upon completion were also greater.
After Su Wuchen entered the Mission Hall, he saw that corresponding card numbers were hanging on the three types of mission boards.
With his current strength, he was already at the top of the Outer Sect disciples.
Therefore, he directly went to the "difficult missions" category to choose a mission.
Thus, he saw that the "Difficult Tasks" section listed five difficult tasks available for execution today.
The first difficult task:
Slay a Golden Horn Black Silk Tiger with a cultivation level of the third level of the third stage, and bring its corpse back to the sect for submission. Upon completion of the task, you will receive 100 Sect Points. The task difficulty coefficient is: Difficult Level One (recommended for Outer Sect disciples with a cultivation level of Mortal Martial Realm second stage or above).
The second difficult task:
Collect two fourth-grade Primal Yang Fruits. Upon completion of the task, you will receive 120 Sect Points. The task difficulty coefficient is: Difficult Level One (recommended for Outer Sect disciples with a cultivation level of Mortal Martial Realm second stage or above).
The third difficult task:
Go to Black Rock Mountain and obtain a bottle of Ice Clear Earth Core Milk. Upon completion of the task, you will receive 146 Sect Points. The task difficulty coefficient is: Difficult Level One (recommended for Outer Sect disciples with a cultivation level of Mortal Martial Realm first stage or above).
The fourth difficult task:
Deliver an item to the Black Fire Sect. Upon completion of the mission, you will receive 150 Sect Points. The mission difficulty is: Difficult, Level Two (recommended for Outer Sect disciples with cultivation at or above the Second Layer of the Mortal Martial Realm).
The fifth difficult mission.
Go to the Heavenly幽 Mountain Range to rescue two Outer Sect disciples who are being pursued. Upon completion of the mission, you will receive 280 Sect Points. The mission difficulty is: Difficult, Level Five (recommended for Outer Sect disciples with cultivation at or above the Fifth Layer of the Mortal Martial Realm, ideally with a team of two or more).
Su Wuchen was stunned after seeing the final, fifth difficult mission.
He was a little curious, why was the reward for this fifth difficult mission so high?
However.
The mission recommended it be undertaken by Outer Sect disciples with cultivation at or above the Fifth Layer of the Mortal Martial Realm.
Although he hadn't yet broken through to the Fifth Layer of the Mortal Martial Realm!
But with his current strength, he could crush experts at the fifth level of the Mortal Martial Realm.
Moreover, if he was going to do it, he might as well take on the most difficult mission to earn the most Sect Points.
Therefore, he felt completely capable of executing this fifth difficult mission!
So, without overthinking, he directly took the card for the fifth difficult mission and went to the registration desk in the Mission Hall.
The person in charge of the Mission Hall was a middle-aged man who looked to be nearly fifty years old.
According to the rules manual recorded by the sect, Su Wuchen knew this person's name was Zeng Baishan.
Su Wuchen then placed the mission card in front of Zeng Baishan and said, "Elder Zeng, I want to execute this difficulty-level five mission. Please register it for me, thank you!"
Seeing Su Wuchen place the difficulty five card on the counter, Zeng Baishan raised an eyebrow, looking at Su Wuchen with some surprise. "This difficulty five mission is recommended for martial artists at the fifth level of the Mortal Martial Realm or higher. It's also best to go with at least two people. But I see that you're only at the fourth level of the Mortal Martial Realm. Isn't this practically suicide? Are you sure you still want to execute this mission alone?"
Su Wuchen nodded slightly, "I'm sure."
"Alright then!"
Zeng Baishan sighed softly.
To gain more Sect Points, he was going to do something he simply couldn't.
Ultimately, it would lead to him being severely injured, or even losing his life.
He had seen too many disciples like this, those who were self-important and arrogant.
But as the Elder guarding the Mission Hall, he had a duty to remind these Outer Sect disciples, but he had no right to interfere.
Then, as he made notes, he asked, "Name, age, and cultivation level?"
Su Wuchen said, "Su Wuchen, sixteen years old, cultivation at the fourth level of the Mortal Martial Realm."
Hearing this, Zeng Baishan suddenly looked up at Su Wuchen and said, "So you're Su Wuchen?"
"That's right," Su Wuchen replied.
Zeng Baishan paused for a moment. "So it's you. No wonder you dared to choose to execute this difficult, level-five mission alone!"
Su Wuchen's reputation had already spread throughout the entire Outer Sect.
Now, who in the Outer Sect didn't know Su Wuchen's name?
After all...
The Su Wuchen standing before him had defeated Qin Feng, who was ranked third on the Outer Sect Battle Power Ranking and was at the sixth level of the Mortal Martial Realm!
Therefore, Su Wuchen naturally had the strength to carry out this mission.
After completing the registration, Zeng Baishan handed a card to Su Wuchen and said, "Keep this card safe. Bring it back after completing the mission to confirm, then you'll receive the corresponding Sect Points."
Su Wuchen nodded slightly, "Understood!"
At this moment, Zeng Baishan took out a map and handed it to Su Wuchen, continuing, "This map is for the Heavenly幽 Mountain Range. It also marks the specific locations where two Sect disciples are trapped. Just follow the instructions on the map!"
"Alright, Elder Zeng!"
Su Wuchen put both the card and the map into his spatial ring. After bowing to Zeng Baishan, he turned and walked out of the Mission Hall.
But as soon as he left, Zeng Baishan couldn't help but sneer.
Afterward, he said to a young man in the Mission Hall, "Go tell Young Master Ye that Su Wuchen is preparing for the Outer Sect assessment. If he wants to teach Su Wuchen a lesson, this is a great opportunity."
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, the young man immediately left the Mission Hall.
Zeng Baishan said coldly, "Su Wuchen, Su Wuchen, don't blame me for informing him. After all, I'm one of Young Master Ye's people. Since you don't want to be one of Young Master Ye's people, you've naturally offended him. So, if Young Master Ye wants to kill you, you can't blame anyone. You can only blame yourself for not recognizing the times, and for your own stupidity. You're so foolish that you dare to go against Young Master Ye, huh, you're courting death!"
