Full preperation

"Ding! The system finds a Direct disciple Shen Yue stepped into the Qi refining level 2! The host will get a 100% cultivation bonus from that disciple."

"Ding! The system finds a Direct disciple Kang Xuan stepped into the Qi refining level 2! The host will get a 100% cultivation bonus from that disciple."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully stepping into the Qi refining level 8."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully stepping into the Qi refining level 9."

On Tuesday evening, Ning Qi suddenly woke up from his sleep, as the system voice jolted him. But instead of getting annoyed, his face expressed absolute delight.

He slowly looked at his disciples, who also open their eyes with all smiles. Ning Qi stood up from his chair and walked towards them, as all of them started sitting on the far edge places with each of them wanting to focus completely on their cultivations.

"Congratulations Junior brother and Junior sister! It barely took you guys 3 days to gain the Qi refining second level." Nangong Xu bested Ning Qi, as he utilized his speed to move towards them.

"Hm! Good job both of you. Right now we have almost a 99% chance to win the battles without worry unless you make a nonsensical mistake. "Ning Qi praised and also forewarned them at the same time.

"I won't make any mistakes Sect master!... But why are sounding like an old man?" Shen Yue asked with a bemused expression, as Ning Qi is only 27 according to her. She doesn't know that Ning Qi is 28 already. Even in that case, one year difference won't change anything.

Nangong Xu gave the sect master a thumbs up, as he felt that the sect master is decisively acting like one that he knows from novels. Knag Xuan just nodded his head, as he believed whatever the sect master does, it's always good for them.

"Ah? Ahem... Maybe it's because I just woke up from sleep, my voice got a bit cracked up there. What the f*** are you encouraging me for? Are you looking for a beating? " Ning Qi equally felt that, as he just dreamed of something like ruling the universe and got embarrassed by Shen Yue's question.

"Alright! Hm! Shen Yue and Kang Xuan... I think you both won't be capable to break through to another level, even If you place all your effort, before the match. So, I think you guys should focus all your efforts on sparring during the day and cultivation on nights. What do you both think?" Ning Qi requested their opinion, as he doesn't want to influence them.

"Yes! Sect master... I think we don't have enough battle experience too. Unlike us, Senior brother Nangong Xu is in fact a bit of a maniac, he has some instinctual alerts or something, and he always tries to solve our tricks with different tactics every time." Kang Xuan said, from what he experienced.

"Absolutely, sect master! I also agree." Shen Yue said louder than Kang Xuan.

Ning Qi moreover knows that Nangong Xu's battle IQ is kinda hard to explain, even for the system. But he knows this guy is going to be a hell demon in his opponent's eyes.

He nodded his head at Kang Xuan's suggestion and felt that Kang Xuan will likely become the calmest person among his disciples.

But to Shen Yue's enthusiasm Ning Qi, wanted to twist her ear, but he couldn't bring himself to it. He just rolled his eyes and felt this girl will become the cranky one of all.

"Hm! Both of you take some rest and practice in the arena later. Xu, you better place more effort into cultivation and make sure to reach level 3 by the time we leave for matches." Ning Qi said, before going to sit on his chair, not bothering with the face made by Nangong Xu.

"System! Open my stats panel." Ning Qi said excitedly, as he ultimately achieved the peak of Qi refining realm.

"My speed has definitely reached the level of 1/3rd an average bullet can move. As long as I remain a certain distance away, I don't have to worry about them too much. And from the look of my health, I don't think that someone or two bullets wouldn't be able to do much harm to me, sigh!"

"Hm! Looks like all those sparring sessions bore some fruit. If I kept this up... I will be skilled enough to raise the hand-to-hand combat techniques to the next level very soon."

Ning Qi sighed, as he felt he never imagined that a normal human being can reach such a level. He knows that all he lacked was one more upgrade from one of these disciples and his strength will receive a good update. He also saw there is an extra exp bar beside his skills section.

"If I use the first stage of the Divine strengthening technique, I can probably be fit to fight against a foundation establishment level 1 cultivator for one minute, without losing much ground. " Ning Qi evaluated his particular strength, but he felt it is still not enough at all.

"Hm! Hopefully, Nangong Xu can reach the Qi refining realm 3 before we depart to matches. But I can't exactly place all my hopes on him... I need to increase my strength in every possible.

" Ning Qi said to himself, as he felt a bit dangerous about this trip of theirs. He doesn't grasp why he perceived that and doesn't where the trouble will come from.

He thought for a moment but didn't think the arena matches will have much trouble. But most likely it's going be from his own mission to eradicate that evil sect.

"System? Can I be able to upgrade the divine strengthening technique to the second stage in one day?" Ning Qi asked and he on top felt regret, as he spent all of his time dozing off the past few days.

"Ding! It's impossible for the host to enter the second stage in one day. From the system's average estimate, the host needs at least 1 month to reach the second stage." The system said in the same cold mechanical voice, bursting the foolish hope of Ning Qi, as he was even prepared to bear all the pain for his growth.

"Ding! The system suggests the host use the Special stats. They may deliver the host some benefits." The system again advised.

"Oh! Really? I thought I needed a lot of them, before being able to gain any possible power from them. Hm!... Let's witness what I will gain then." Ning Qi thought.

"System! Add 4 special stats to time affinity." Ning Qi said, even though he felt that time affinity may obtain an all-powerful law. He clearly got influenced by the novels a lot and added four points to that. If it is really as powerful, he decides to add the remaining two points or else just add them to darkness.

"Ding! Four points have been added to time affinity! Now host will be led to a unique dimension, please don't panic, Host. " System voice came over confusing Ning Qi, but soon he felt he got forcefully getting dragged by some invisible force.
