79-88

There were many Outer Sect Disciples; however, the inner sect disciples count took a dive, and the core disciples were even meager to count. Besides, there were only 15 core disciple Martial Courtyards!

Usually, all core disciples were above the True Martial Realm.

"As long as you have enough strength, you can not only enter the Elder Courtyard but can also sit on the 0th Martial Courtyard's Chief's position! That is if you can defeat the Dean!"

Hearing this, Chen Xiang had a kind of a whimsical idea, which was to get that 0th Martial Courtyard's Chief's position. Of course, it was just an idea, as it should be known that these dean level characters had been living for hundreds of years and were somewhat like old monsters.

"The 0th Martial Courtyard's Chief position is much more difficult to achieve, but the Extreme Dan Courtyard's Chief position shouldn't be that hard." Su Meiyao said with a light laugh.

The Extreme Dan Courtyard was the organization responsible for dans here in the Extreme Martial Sect. Although there was only one courtyard, it was however divided into 8 small courtyards where all alchemists dwelled.

"Only a 2nd level Alchemist can enter the Extreme Dan Courtyard. Now I want to take a look how many levels.........." Chen Xiang illuminated a list and saw that a 1st level Alchemist was required to be able to refine 3 different kinds of Middle-Grade Mortal Level Dans.

A 2nd level Alchemist was required to be able to refine three kinds of High Grade Mortal Level Dans and a Low-Grade Spirit Level Dan. The requirements to become a 3rd level Alchemist were high, and one must actually be able to refine three kinds of Middle-Grade Spirit Level Dan.

Currently, Chen Xiang himself was only a 2nd level Alchemist. 9th level was the highest rank of any alchemist. Above it was the Great Dan Master, Dan Ancestor, and then Dan King!

Chen Xiang remembered Su Meiyao saying that she was just a Dan Ancestor, and she was capable of refining Heaven Level Dans!

At last Chen Xiang once again looked at the next aspects of refining weapons. Refiners were rare in the Extreme Martial Sect, and there were hardly any. While the Chenwu Mainland's Divine Weapon Heavenly Empire was most developed in regards to refining weapons, the strongest in alchemy was Danxiang Taoyuan, and mainly the Extreme Martial Sect's strength was powerful.

That Leng Youlan went to Icewind Valley, which only cultivated in extreme yin and yang, and had the lowest amount of disciples. Nevertheless, their strength wasn't weak, as their True Qi is very extreme, so their overall strength is strong.

Although among the Eight Major Righteous Sects, the Extreme Martial Sect was recognized as the strongest, if the Extreme Martial Sect and another sect fought, the Extreme Martial Sect won't win the fight without paying a large price.

"Meiyao sister, Youyou sister, how about I find a way to make a Grandmaster Alchemist here to refine a dan for you. That way you will soon be able to recover from your injuries." Chen Xiang's eyes lit up at the moment.

"Are they able to refine Sacred Level Dan?" Bai Youyou asked.

Sacred Level Dan! Chen Xiang had not even heard of what they were speaking of, let alone seeing it.

"Is there no one here capable of refining it?" Chen Xiang asked.

"At least from what I have heard, they temporarily don't have anyone. Not to mention Sacred Level Dan, those who can refine Heaven Level Dan are rare." Su Meiyao said with a sigh, "But you may just be able to as long as you cultivate and collect good herbs because you have the [Dragon Saliva Exercise]."

Chen Xiang hadn't expected that he actually needed to refine a Sacred Level Dan; how high of a level was this existence.

"First, enter the inner sect then we will talk about it. Only after entering the inner sect, would I be able to learn a satisfying martial skill!" Chen Xiang said because Outer Sect Disciples at best could only learn Low-Grade Profound Level Martial Skills while High-Grade Profound Level and Earth Level Martial Skills needed the qualifications of an inner sect disciple to learn.

At the tenth month of every year, it was the Inner Sect Assessment, which was just around the corner, and Chen Xiang hadn't expected that it would arrive in such a timely manner.

Chen Xiang climbed onto the roof, watching all the numerous buildings around him. In the innermost part of the deep region, strong people were gathered like clouds in the inner courtyard!

The Extreme Martial Sect's disciple enjoyed much of their freedom, and sect disciples were provided with a large number of martial skills. The Extreme Martial Sect also had arranged some experienced old martial artists to teach the disciples, and there were also many types of equipment to aid in their training, as well as the martial stage for the disciples to fairly compare notes.

Sometimes, the Extreme Martial Sect arranged some missions for their sect disciple to complete, and these missions protected the Extreme Martial Province from danger.

Chen Xiang put on the Extreme Martial Sect's uniform which was a gray leotard, made of a material which could even withstand ordinary flames. Ordinary swords also could not penetrate it, and it also fit tightly to the body, making people feel very comfortable. It also had a 'warm in winter and cool in summer' effect.

Chen Xiang arrived in the middle of the Martial Courtyard, and in the middle there was one small square stage. All around the square stage there were some buildings, and inside these buildings was the equipment to help the disciples with their training.

"Newcomer, I heard you came from that secular world. It seems that you are very powerful, and was able to defeat that Fang Liang in a matter of seconds." One teenager came and said with a look of admiration.

From those previous books, Chen Xiang had learned Chenwu Mainland was shaped like a triangle, and that the secular world was located in one of its corners. That corner was also across a large mountain range, isolated from the eight major provinces, and had sparse Spirit Qi, which led to not many strong experts being there.

Chen Xiang slightly smiled, and said, "That guy underestimated the enemy too much, that's why he lost miserably."

Teenager laughed and said, "That's true since that guy Fang Liang had worshiped a teacher, he became arrogant. I wanted to teach him a lesson early on myself."

This teenager's skin was dark, and he was shorter than Chen Xiang by a head. Although he didn't look very strong, he gave off the impression that he was quick, capable and vigorous.His eyes glittered with sleekness, had an amiable smile, but there were a few scars on his face, giving off a sturdy feeling.

"Yun Xiaodao 云小刀, are you thinking whether or not to bully the newcomer once again?" From afar one middle-aged man said with a smile, "Chen Xiang, this shorty standing in front of you is this courtyard strongest disciple, but he doesn't want to become the courtyard's chief and has not challenged the old man Zhang yet."

Yun Xiaodao rubbed his nose, contemptuously side glanced at that fellow, and said, "I just wanted to compare notes with him. Martial artists originally often want to compare notes."

In this square, there were many people, and they all had temperate and gentle smiles on their faces, making Chen Xiang feel very harmonious in this Martial Courtyard. Moreover, he also learned from other people that they all thought that Fang Liang was very annoying.

Chen Xiang had just arrived; that's why people in this Martial Courtyard didn't start to cultivate, rather chatted with Chen Xiang and informed him of some things.

Chen Xiang at this time just knew that Yun Xiaodao came here three years ago, and from the 3000th Martial Courtyard fought his way up from there. He was very strong, at the 10th level of the Mortal Martial Realm and he had a prominent origin. He was a member of one of the Extreme Martial Province's four aristocratic families, the Yun family.

At this moment, Yun Xiaodao, with an avid expression in his eyes, was watching Chen Xiang, and spoke, "Great Brother Chen, except for the old man Zhang here, I've fought with everyone here. You also have to fight one round with me, and no matter if you win or lose, I'll give you five True Qi Dan, how does this sound?"

Old man Zhang was Zhang De, this Martial Courtyard's Chief, but all martial artists in here called him in the same way.

Chen Xiang knew Yun Xiaodao was very bellicose. Moreover, he was this courtyard's strongest disciple, which meant that he was the strongest disciple in the Outer Sect!

"Xiaodao, you're in the 10th level of the Mortal Martial Realm while I'm in the 9th level of the Mortal Martial Realm, the difference is too big!" said Chen Xiang while shaking his head and smiling, and to his surprise, this Yun Xiaodao was actually only 16 years old!

Inside this Chenwu Mainland's martial forest was where the talent really poured forth, and young and powerful martial artists could be found everywhere.

"But you're one year older than me, so you have the advantage. Rest assured; I'll be lenient, and whether you win or lose, I'll give you 5 True Qi Dan!" Yun Xiaodao pestered. He was not planning to let Chen Xiang go until he fought with him.

In the eyes of other martial artists, 5 True Qi Dans might be very good, but give Chen Xiang half of an hour and he could refine them out, and currently he did not want to get seriously injured, instead he wanted to prepare for the upcoming Inner Sect Assessment.

Yun Xiaodao, this time with a sinister smile, said, "Great brother Chen, I've several sisters, each one is very nice, so if you and I compare notes, I'll introduce them to you!"

Chen Xiang could not help laughing, "You brat, do not try fool me. You just said you'll introduce them to me, but later I won't be able to pursue them, right?"

Yun Xiaodao stuck out his tongue, "Why do you've so little confidence in yourself? I've heard you know alchemy. My sister's first preference of a man is an alchemist. Rarely has there been an alchemist like you who is young, smart and handsome."

"Fuck your mother's pussy, your this flattery is not bad. I'll reluctantly fight a round with you!" Chen Xiang said with a smile, "But as for your sisters, leave it for others, I already have a fiancee."

Seeing Chen Xiang promise Yun Xiaodao, other martial artists also cheered up, because they also wanted to take a look at Chen Xiang's strength. By observing and emulating other battles could they themselves also learn some experiences.

Yun Xiaodao was also delighted, like a child, he very readily took out 5 True Qi Dans and handed them to Chen Xiang. He was a Yun family member, moreover, he was also talented, so in aspects of dans he was simply not lacking.

"Great brother Chen, to tell you the truth, even if I introduce my sisters to you, they will not fancy you. The standards of these women can be high." Yun Xiaodao took a side glance at those sitting disciple at the square edge, and these disciples revealed an angry expression, apparently they had been fooled by Yun Xiaodao.

This time, Zhang De ran over hastily, and said with a smile, "You and a newcomer are having a competition, how can it precede without me? I'll preside over it, and at appointed time will immediately stop you, as I don't want anyone getting injured in a friendly competition."

Chen Xiang and Yun Xiaodao went to the middle of the square, and here the floor was paved using a kind of very sturdy bricks. They were very difficult to destroy, therefore one could fearlessly fight till the end.

"Xiaodao, are you going to participate in the Inner Sect Assessment?" Chen Xiang asked.

"I've participated three times, but each time in the second round I failed. I just entered the 10th level of the Mortal Martial Realm this year, so this year I'll be able to enter the Inner Sect."

Chen Xiang nodded his head, and his complexion turned serious because he felt a peculiar martial artist True Qi from Yun Xiaodao. This type of True Qi gave people a kind of feeling that was very terrifying, however, it was very docile inside Yun Xiaodao's body.

"It should be Fire and Lightning True Qi.He should have a Mutated Fire Lightning Vein." said Su Meiyao.

Extreme Martial Sect, 3000 Martial Courtyards, 100,000 disciples. People who could come must be someone with decent strength. After coming here Chen Xiang had met many young and strong martial artists, and in his front of him was a 16 year old teenager in the 10th level of the Mortal Martial Realm. This was the strongest person in the Outer Sect!

"Watch out, [Fire Lightning Chain]!" Yun Xiaodao loudly shouted, and from his palm a fiery red colored lightning suddenly spewed out, surging with fearsome hot Qi, and hitting Chen Xiang's body.

This fire lightning upon touching Chen Xiang's body, immediately tied down Chen Xiang, like a very firm chain, making Chen Xiang unable to move!

"Hei Hei, Great Brother Chen, you lose!" said Yun Xiaodao while giggling, only to once again see both of his fists explode with that fearsome Fire Lightning Qi Aura. Although Chen Xiang and Yun Xiaodao were separated by 3 zhang, but Chen Xiang could feel that strong Qi Aura, and even the ground was slightly trembling.

In the 10th level of the Mortal Martial Realm, True Qi was compressed again. After this compression, it also elevated the quality of the True Qi, doubling their True Qi qualitatively and quantitatively when compared to the previous 9th level of the Mortal Martial Realm!

But Yun Xiaodao didn't spend his true strength, otherwise it would be more frightening!

At this moment, Chen Xiang operated his True Qi trying to get rid of the Qi Aura Chain binding him. While the [Fire Lightning Chain] was binding him up, it also continued to burst with lightning and scorching flames, which in turn entered into his body. If not for him using the [Tai Chi Divine Exercise] to continue to refine them, he would certainly be a little tormented.

Yun Xiaodao swooped over, both his fists shooting towards Chen Xiang's chest. When they were about to arrive, Chen Xiang fiercely opened his mouth, and a dragon roar resounded. A large amount of Azure Qi Aura was suddenly ejected from Chen Xiang's mouth, carrying terrifying lightning, and forming one huge momentum that flew towards Yun Xiaodao and hitting him.

The sudden attack made Yun Xiaodao fly about ten zhang. This confused Yun Xiaodao and his hair was in a mess.

Chen Xiang lowered his head and shouted, only to see the [Fire Lightning Chain] binding him suddenly burst open, forming a Qi waves which blew in all directions.

"Great brother Chen, you are quite shady, and actually have these kind of tricks!" Yun Xiaodao had a look of displeasure. However, in his heart he was secretly thrilled, because Chen Xiang had not been defeated all of a sudden.

The people all around who watching were also secretly shocked. Chen Xiang having this kind of martial skill also came as a surprise to them. True Qi could be discharged from the mouth, it was indeed a kind of very shady martial skill.

The quality of Chen Xiang's True Qi was not worse than those at the 10th level of the Mortal Martial Realm as a result of being compressed, because just a moment ago if Chen Xiang had not fused the Azure Dragon and Vermillion Bird True Qi, it was also very difficult for him to get rid of the [Fire Lightning Chain].

"Xiaodao, I'll attack you now!" Chen Xiang gripped both his fists, and Azure Dragon Lightning True Qi overflowed from his fists, and once again at the same time scorching Vermillion Bird Red Fire True Qi emerged out..

At this time Chen Xiang had also used Fire Lightning True Qi!

This duel turned out to be a duel between Fire Lightning True Qi and Fire Lightning True Qi, and everyone standing was immediately excited because it was worth watching. They also found it a little unusual because they had learnt Chen Xiang had a Fire Spiritual Vein, but he was still able to come up with Lightning True Qi.

Chen Xiang took one step and arrived in front of Yun Xiaodao, "Watch out, [Heavenly Tiger Storm Killing Fist]!"

Finished speaking, numerous fists with tiger head after images burst out, surging out one after another with pressuring Aura Qi, pounding at a breakneck speed, cutting through the air, and shaking the floor. Similar to a bombardment of lightning it madly flew towards Yun XIaodao, each one in blink of an eye. Chen Xiang punched out 100 times, and every fist was containing the strength which was capable of destroying a small mountain.

"Good fellas, this Martial Courtyard second rank is yours." Yun Xiaodao clenching his teeth said. With a palm full of Qi Aura, constantly waving, he was actually able to keep up with the speed of Chen Xiang's fist. It looked as if he had countless palms whilst resisting the impact of Chen Xiang's fist that was like violent storm..

"I want first!" Chen Xiang said while laughing, and vainly shouted, "[White Tiger Divine Fist]!"

Punching out one [White Tiger Divine Fist], suddenly a Slaughter Qi enveloped the center of this Martial Courtyard, and everyone could not help but have a shiver run down their spine, as they fell into a kind of inexplicable fear.

Only to see both of Chen Xiang's fists suddenly transform into two tiger heads with soaring Slaughter Qi, and every time he blasted a fist, it was as if a ferocious monstrous white tiger with Slaughter Qi impacted, making people fall into fear.

"[Cloud Palm]!" Yun Xiaodao complexion turned stiff, palms crossing each other, and a Fire Lightning Qi Aura from both of his palms gushed out. It transformed into a pair of giant palms crossing each other, and were warding in front of Yun Xiaodao.

Chen Xiang's [White Tiger Divine Fist] struck that pair of giant crossed palms, and emitted "BOOM" sound one after another. The floor below also fiercely trembled, triggering storms one after another, blowing all around.

At this time Chen Xiang's battle intent was rising, as he rarely met opponents with considerable strength. Rising high into the air with a leap, his palm swung downwards, and a explosive shout resounded. A huge fire palm suddenly appeared, about twenty zhang large, and fiercely pressing down.

[Editor's Note: War Intention changed to Battle intent, we will change all future and past uses of war intentions with battle intent]

This was Chen Xiang's killer move. It was to entirely release True Qi of only one attribute, transforming it into Qi Aura which could cause heavy casualties, and its range was also very wide!

A huge fire palm appeared, and everyone could not help but exclaim in surprise. Yun Xiaodao's complexion turned solemn as he once again cast [Cloud Palm] towards the sky, resisting the pressure from the rapidly approaching fire palm.

Yun Xiaodao's [Cloud Palm] also became large, about 10 zhang wide, as he released the vigorous True Qi of the 10th level Mortal Martial Realm. With great power, it even pushed up Chen Xiang's huge fire palm.

Chen Xiang's 'hei hei' laughter sounded out, only to see Azure True Qi flashing once again and surging out from his palm accompanied with fierce lightning. Along with his soft cry, a huge azure palm once again appeared, pressing down from above, and overlapped with that huge fire palm!

The Fire and Lightning True Qi became even more violent and stronger after the fusion. Yun Xiaodao's [Cloud Palm] was utterly defeated in an instant, and Chen Xiang's huge fire and lightning palm continued to press down fiercely, smashing Yun Xiaodao to the ground.

BOOM BOOM BOOM.........

A series of explosions burst out, and a huge palm seal appeared in the middle of the square as the Qi waves blew out in all directions. Every stone in its path was crushed, making an astonishing palm imprint on the ground.

Yun Xiaodao's whole body was pressed against the ground. He cried out loudly and leaped out from the middle of the palm seal; his entire body a mess. However, he had not suffered any serious injuries.

"Great brother Chen, your strength was out of my expectations. I'm now going to use my killer move." Yun Xiaodao said with a serious look on his face. Just as he finished speaking, Zhang De shouted, "You're going to fight again. You'll ruin everything here; your strengths are just about same. If you still want to decide who is better, you'll definitely be mutually wounded."

Chen Xiang also stopped as he heard Zhang De. He did not expect that after completely releasing two attributes of True Qi, he did not even defeat the other party. It was pretty clear that Yun Xiaodao's strength was in no way weak.

"Great brother Chen is only in the 9th level of the Mortal Martial Realm, and he can already fight on par with me. In other words, if he reaches the 10th level of the Mortal Martial Realm, wouldn't that mean I would lose?" Yun Xiaodao sighed.

"This is just great. Another little monster has joined our martial courtyard." A middle-aged man said with a bitter smile. At the moment, these children at such a young age, were actually more formidable than them. Especially Chen Xiang, that kind of martial skill was very shocking and made their hearts shake in fear.

"Great brother Chen, you've killed many people, right? Just a moment ago your Slaughter Qi was very thick; it almost scared me." Yun Xiaodao asked with a curious look. Fear could be seen deep in his eyes.

"Not many. I don't remember how many, but all of them were people who came to find some trouble," said Chen Xiang.

"I should keep this in mind and trouble you less often in future." said Yun Xiaodao with a laugh.

"You two brats, take a look around. This place hasn't been ruined for many years but now......"Zhang De's old face was full of helplessness.

Yun Xiaodao laughed and said, "Old man Zhang, I'm the main reason for this so I'll pay the crystal stones."

Chen Xiang suddenly said, "I have got to go and rest for a moment. My True Qi is not rich as yours. It is almost depleted."

Chen Xiang wouldn't use Universal True Qi unless it was necessary. It was too lethal; moreover, he also didn't want to expose too much of his strength, but he was sure, even if he had won against Yun Xiaodao, he would also end up with serious injuries.

Yun Xiaodao was indeed strong. Even after such an intense battle, he didn't consume much of his True Qi. Furthermore, he didn't even use his trump card.

"There are a lot of powerful experts in this Martial Courtyard! It really is a cradle for powerful experts!" Chen Xiang while recovering his consumed True Qi in his room, sighed in his heart.

Chen Xiang had just left the square. Disciples from some nearby Martial Courtyards were coming to ask about the situation. They were all amazed by the huge palm seal in the middle of the square. They all knew how strong these bricks were; it is very difficult to destroy them without applying great power.

Two days passed, and the Inner Sect Assessment had begun to accept applications. Chen Xiang, Yun Xiaodao, and Zhang De went together to apply for the assessment as well.

After registering, they left the Extreme Martial Sect. Together, they ate and drank in a hotel in Tianmen City, but their luck was not that good and saw Zhu Rong, that money grubbing stingy fatty. At last, they could only take Zhu Rong together with them.

"Little rascal Yun, I'll say this in advance, this meal is your treat!" Zhu Rong said seriously while ordering the food.

"Why should I treat you?" asked Yun Xiaodao. Although he was a local tyrant, he did not want to spend his money on Zhu Rong.

"Old man Zhang is old now; maybe he will still be farting in the Outer Sect. Chen Xiang has just entered the Extreme Martial Sect, and I'm a stingy fatty. Do you want all of us to leave right now? Besides, your Yun family is richer than my Zhu family." Zhu Rong said with a smile.

Chen Xiang saw that Zhu Rong, Yun Xiaodao, and Zhang De had a very good relationship. Otherwise, he would not causally speak in such a way. Furthermore, he also knew Zhu Rong was once in the 330th Martial Courtyard, and was also once the strongest Outer Sect Disciple.

"Little pig, although this old man does not have grand ambitions from the True Martial Realm, but when I die, I will die as an Inner Sect Disciple, do not underestimate me." said Zhang De confidently.

Yun Xiaodao pursed his lips and said, "Wait for me to enter the Inner Sect, then I'll definitely grab your position, do as you please for now!"

This hotel was very busy, and many of the customers were rich kids, mostly the disciples of Extreme Martial Sect. They had a very low position in the Extreme Martial Sect, but outside, the majority of them had eyes above their heads, were arrogant, and acted as if the world was dancing around them and was solely venerating their appearance. Seeing this Yun Xiaodao secretly clenched his teeth, he couldn't wait to beat few of them to the ground.

"Little rascal Yun, you and younger brother Chen together might be able to get rid that bastard, but if it is you alone, then you will come back crawling." Zhu Rong said while looking at a man on a nearby table.

When that man looked at others, his eyes always had a squinted appearance, looking with endless contempt and arrogance. As long as others came in contact with that kind of expression in his eyes, they will all feel uncomfortable.

Chen Xiang didn't want to stir up some trouble; he feared that Yun Xiaodao would truly do something so he quickly said, "Okay, after entering the Inner Sect, you'll have the opportunity to fight with him."

Chen Xiang speculated that man must be from the Inner Sect.

"Humph! Depending on you? Coming from a secular world, do not think that it is easy to advance to the Inner Sect," said that man while shaking his head and laughing scornfully.

"Fucking bastard, this father can not wait to poke your eyes and stamp them." Yun Xiaodao slapped the table and cursed. He was about to rush forward but was pulled by Zhu Rong and Zhang De.

"A private fight, do you want to be expelled from the Extreme Martial Sect?" Zhang De said hastily.

Chen Xiang calmly continued, "If I can enter the Inner Sect, how about you give me 100 True Qi Dans? In return, if I can not enter, I'll give you 100!"

"Only 100? Too little, how about 1000? Squinted snake, you dare to bet?" Yun Xiaodao yelled.

"The Assessment is only a few days away, so I am willing to bet, but if it were ten years later, I would not even dare to bet." That man said.

"In a few days later, great brother Chen will definitely enter the Inner Sect!" Yun Xiaodao said excitedly. Chen Xiang, however, was depressed, as he currently did not have 1000 True Qi Dans.

Zhu Rong patted Chen Xiang's shoulder and said, "Rest assured, these True Qi Dans will be paid for by that little rascal Yun when the time arrives. I'll sell them to him, ha ha....."

"Dead pig, are you saying that Chen Xiang will definitely lose?" Yun Xiaodao said with contempt in his eyes as he looked at Zhu Rong.

"Since it is a bet, I can not say for sure. But if he does win, I'm willing to buy those True Qi Dans since you won't be able to use all of them." Zhu Rong laughed.

"Fart, if he does win I would rather feed them to dogs then give them to you." Yun Xiaodao cursed.

Chen Xiang and Zhang De could only remain silent as they listened to Yun Xiaodao and Zhu Rong bickering. Moreover, Chen Xiang couldn't help but admire these two, as they continued to curse each other without losing their breathes while they all ate and drank.

After returning to the Martial Courtyard, Chen Xiang asked in a confused voice, "Strange, why haven't I seen any female disciples around?"

"In the Extreme Martial Sect, there are no females. It is probably due to the fact that the Extreme Martial Sect's Ancestor had no interest in women, and thus established this rule. Damn, this stupid rule is hurting us. In fact, most disciples of the Extreme Martial Sect bring their woman, or else they can only endure it through self-reliance...." Yun Xiaodao said with a grin on his face, "Great brother Chen, you're not staying in the Martial Courtyard every night are you?"

"Of course," Chen Xiang said after thinking for a moment. He now understood why Tianmen City was always so lively. It appears that all the rich kids have brought their families with them there.

"You are an honest man great brother Chen. Only the type of people like old man Zhang can honestly stay in the Martial Courtyard." Yun Xiaodao let out a depraved laugh and soon left.

The sky turned dark as Chen Xiang returned to his room. He was refining True Qi Dans. Meanwhile, Su Meiyao and Bai Youyou were afraid to come out of the ring because they feared that the strong experts in the area, who were as numerous as clouds, would sense them.

"Sister Meiyao, the Extreme Martial Sect does not accept any female disciples, and you made Leng Youlan to come here. Seriously!?" Chen Xiang had originally thought that he could take care of Leng Youlan in the Extreme Martial Sect.

"Humph, It's been a long time since then, how am I supposed to remember these little things?" Su Meiyao said with a low snort. When Chen Xiang was out today, he brought back some exquisite dresses and beautiful jewelry for Su Meiyao and Bai Youyou

In just a few days Chen Xiang had adjusted to his new lifestyle in the Extreme Martial Sect and in the Martial Courtyard, and formed good relations with his senior disciples. He was fortunate to come to a harmonious Martial Courtyard where he didn't have to entangle with scheming people every day.

In the Extreme Martial Sect there was one very huge square which could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. Every month, Elders from the Elder Courtyard would discourse in the plaza as such, most of the disciples would gather there on such an occasion. Today was the annual Inner Sect Assessment, the most important event of the year. As long as they were Outer Sect Disciples , they had the qualification to sign up.

Chen Xiang, Yun Xiaodao, and Zhang De came in together as a team, ready to accept their first assessment. They were the team of disciples from the 330th Martial Courtyard. Upon seeing them, the disciples of the other Martial Courtyards silently made way, not daring to provoke them.

"Great brother Chen, have you heard about that Fang Liang you incapacitated earlier? It seems that it will take him a year and a half to recover completely. By the looks of it, that Fang Family and you will wind up fighting each other." Yun Xiaodao said with a laugh.

Chen Xiang could only helplessly sigh; it could be said that he started lightly. Otherwise, he would have undoubtedly crippled Fang Liang. But he knew that the families here and that of the secular world were different. The families here had true martial experts to rely upon!

The first assessment was to test a disciples strength, and if one does not pass the test, they would be eliminated.

Strength was tested by punching a pre-established array. This array was arranged on a stone wall and looked similar to a small pool of water. After a punch had landed, it would show the corresponding value that represented a measure of strength. Only upon reaching a certain value, would one be said to have passed.

"The first test is simple; we can pass it anytime." Zhang De said.

"The second and third tests are more difficult. I was eliminated in the second test, and old man Zhang is the same. He did not pass the second assessment as well!" Yun Xiaodao said with a face filled with helplessness.

"What is the second test about?" Chen Xiang asked as he didn't know anything about the second and the third tests.

Speaking about it, a sliver of fear flashed past Yun Xiaodao's eyes, "Elder Dan personally conducts the second test. It is mainly used to test the endurance while the third is an integrated test. Every year it is different but equally challenging."

Elder Dan was the Extreme Martial Sect's 2nd strongest person and was also the only female in Extreme Martial Sect. Rumors say that her rank was higher that the Current Extreme Martial Dean and was in charge of the Extreme Martial Courtyard. Nobody knows her real name, and thus she was only referred as Elder Dan.

"It's my turn; don't know if I can break my old record once again." Yun Xiaodao rolled up his sleeves and said with an expression which stated that he was looking forward to it.

Chen Xiang was ranked behind Yun Xiaodao, and also wanted to take a look at Yun Xiaodao's strongest blow. Only the disciples with a value exceeding 1000 were allowed to pass, and many Outer Sect Disciples could only reach about 600, some could even reach 700, but there weren't many who could achieve it. From this, one could tell that the Extreme Martial Outer Sect Disciples strength was very uniform.

Yun Xiaodao blasted a fist against that pool of water on the stone wall. The arm submerged entirely. When he took out his hand, a single value appeared on that calm pool of water.

"2300!"

Seeing this numeral digit, everyone sucked in a mouthful of cold air as the previous highest record was only 1800!

"Great brother Chen, your turn!" Yun Xiaodao appeared to be very satisfied with his performance as he patted Chen Xiang's shoulder.

Chen Xiang could also be considered to have a little reputation in the Outer Sect. He had come from the secular world. Furthermore, he had seriously injured Fang Laing with a single blow. He also had good relations with Zhu Rong and was an alchemist.

"Use all of your power! Only by showing your strength can one be respected! Well… it should be alright as long as you do not expose the Yin and Yang Divine Vein!" Bai Youyou ordered in a high pitch tone.

Chen Xiang nodded his head in response. In his dantian, all five elements of True Qi fused together, forming the Universal True Qi. He then took a long deep breath and fiercely blasted a punch. At that moment, he did not release any hint of True Qi, which made everyone extremely confused, because if one didn't use True Qi, their strength would be greatly reduced.

This time around, Chen Xiang used all of his strength. He was sure that if a mountain were to be struck by his blow, it would be destroyed. However, when his strike entered into the array on the stone wall, it remained very calm.

He was secretly shocked by the strength of this mysterious array. Something of this quality was difficult to arrange by the people of the secular world.

Chen Xiang punched out, only to see the emergence of a number above the pool of water.

Upon seeing this value, the noisy square immediately became deadly quiet. Everyone's face was filled with horror. The first idea that went through their minds was that there was a problem with the array. However, they quickly dismissed this idea because it had never happened before.

4800.

Even for an Inner Sect Disciple it was hard to get this value. Furthermore, this value was double that of Yun Xiaodao's!

The old man responsible for supervising the tests was also surprised. He was a True Martial Realm practitioner, and when Chen Xiang had punched the array, he sensed a powerful invisible True Qi through some hints, but he couldn't recognize what type of True Qi it was.

That old man, however, could be considered quite experienced as he immediately shouted. "Chen Xiang, a score of 4800, pass!"

Hearing those words, the entire square exploded into commotion like a large pot of boiling water. An Outer Sect Disciple was capable of getting the same value as that of an Elite Inner Sect Disciple! This was simply too incredible, and made it hard for others to believe their eyes!

Chen Xiang was also scared as his saw the value on the array, but after some thought, he calmed down. He was cultivating all five elements of True Qi, and the Universal True Qi was formed by fusing all five elements of True Qi, and so it was no surprise that his strength had been elevated by many times.

"Elder brother Chen, you're scary, and you're very cunning. The last time we compared notes, you did not use your whole strength!" Yun Xiaodao exclaimed.

Zhu Rong's complexion was also somewhat strange. He thought about his previous guesses of Chen Xiang entering the Inner Sect, but now his chances were great, at least no one in the 10th level of the Mortal Martial Realm could beat his record.

"Hei hei.. that squinted bastard is definitely going to lose!" Yun Xiaodao said with a laugh as he thought of the gamble with deep stakes in his mind.

Many disciples were participating in the assessment, and it took the entire day, from early morning to late night to finish the assessment. In the morning, the whole square was filled with people, but now there were no more than 300 people. Chen Xiang now knew how hard it was to enter the Inner Sect, as so many disciples were eliminated in the first assessment itself!

The first test came to an end, and the disciples of the Martial Courtyard were sure that Chen Xiang could definitely pass. They didn't have much confidence to face the second test, and a shadow of doubt had formed in their hearts as many of them had always been repeatedly eliminated during the second assessment.

"It is late at night, yet they want to conduct the second assessment?" Chen Xiang asked doubtfully as they couldn't leave even after passing their first assessment.

"That is natural, all three assessment are going to be conducted one after the another. Sometimes they will even last several days, and you cannot even rest in between." Yun Xiaodao replied.

Everyone stood in the middle of the square waiting for the arrival of Elder Dan so that they could start the next assessment.

Late at night, silver moonlight shined on the square while the cool breeze was occasionally blowing, making people feel very comfortable and relaxed.

Suddenly, everyone felt very hot and stuffy, as if a heavy downpour had begun, but as they raised their heads and looked at the skies, they still able to see the stars in the clear sky.

Just as everyone looked towards the skies, a person suddenly appeared before their eyes shocking everyone.

"Elder Dan!" All 300 disciples and the ones responsible for conducting the test saluted in respect.

Elder Dan wore a long white skirt, and had beautiful ebony long hair, but Chen Xiang was disappointed by the fact that a black mask covered her face. It covered her entire face, revealing only her two eyes, but a fiery red aura was surging in those eyes.

"You do not need to be overly courteous." said Elder Dan as she raised her hand.

Her voice sounded lazy yet cold, and was filled with a kind world turning momentum. This made Chen Xiang think that she was somewhat similar to the Divine Weapon Heavenly Empire's Empress.

Chen Xiang suddenly felt this masked Elder Dan gave him a familiar feeling, but he could not pinpoint who she resembled.

"She definitely is not Xianxian's teacher. Her voice is not so cold, and it doesn't even match her," Chen Xiang thought in his heart removing that possibility.

Elder Dan took a few sheets and quickly scanned through the recorded content of the previous assessment. As she finished scanning them, she said in a cold voice, "Not bad, the values this year is very high and there is also one with a value of 4800!"

Although her voice sounded very cold and lacked any emotions, it was evident from her voice that she was also surprised.

Chen Xiang felt that this kind of chilly tone was absolutely not natural. Strange, like it is deliberately manufactured, because he and Bai Youyou had been staying together for a long time. That was why he knew how a genuine cold beauty was like, like Bai Youyou's cold voice sounded very natural.

"Chen Xiang come out!" Elder Dan shouted, that cold voice was like an explosion in the ear, and everyone's entire body trembled, while their ears were buzzing.

Chen Xiang stood and came out, with neither overbearingness nor servility replied, "Disciple Chen Xiang!"

"Humph, do not think with your little ability you can swagger before others. I heard as soon as you came you settled some things.Moreover in the secular world you were also not very law-abiding. For someone like you, it is best to tempered in the Outer Sect first then enter Inner Sect, so as to avoid bigger issue in the Inner Sect! Are you sure you want to participate in the second assessment?" Elder Dan's words made everyone inwardly shocked, as everybody could see that Elder Dan seemed to be intentionally against Chen Xiang!

What type of character was Elder Dan? She was the next strongest after the Extreme Martial Dean, and also was an alchemist! Such a character was against him, and it was clear that later Chen Xiang was going to eat a lot of suffering in the Extreme Martial Sect!

"I want to participate in the second assessment!" Chen Xiang's brow slightly wrinkled, but with a deadpan look replied, "What I did in the secular world, I think it was the correct way!"

"Humph!" Dan Elder coldly spoke, "You go to other end of the square, when I say, you can start walking!"

Dan Elder threw these words, flew into the sky, floating at the other end of the square, and her speed made everyone in their heart to gasped from shock.

Chen Xiang just a moment ago knew how the test was going to be performed, and that was to walk from one end of the square to another under a kind of pressure. If one was able to reach the other end it could be considered passing the second assessment.

The giant square was more that 300 zhang wide, walking past it was very easy, and if one used Qing Gong, then it was even faster!

300 Outer Sect Disciples lined up, standing in a line, and waited for the Elder Dan at the opposite end to issue the command.

"Chen Xiang you should remain where you're, you will be tested alone!" These words of Elder Dan made Chen Xiang have a bad feeling, he secretly regret obeying Bai Youyou, and completely exposed his own strength.

At this time Chen Xiang determined that Elder Dan was intentionally against him, and he knew later on he was going to eat bitterness. He was suspecting whether or not there was any relation between Elder Dan and the Yao family, even to grant 'special attention' to a minion.

"Elder brother Chen, take care! I'll be waiting for you in the Inner Sect." Yun Xiaodao said gloomily, sounding full of helplessness, because he knew for Chen Xiang it was not possible for him to enter Inner Sect in few years.

"Start!" Elder Dan shouted, and though separated by hundreds of zhang, her transmitted voice was absolutely clear.

Also at this time, Chen Xiang sensed an invisible mighty pressure befall, and people could not help but bend their knees, as if they were carrying a giant mountain on their shoulders.

"Those who can not hold, as long as they shout 'Give up', I'll immediately send him out of the square." Elder Dan spoke coldly.

Chen Xiang in his heart secretly cursed, because he was now withstanding this kind same pressure, but he had to once again participate in the test. Obviously this showed that Elder Dan was really 'looking after' him!

Not long after the assessment started, many disciples fell on the ground, vomiting blood and directly gave up. They were directly removed from the strengthened square.

It was the first time for Chen Xiang to see such a formidable expert to act, and be able to release this kind of power casually. Not to mention ordinary people, even these 9th and 10th level Mortal Martial Realm martial artists, in the eyes of Elder Dan, were simply ants.

Chen Xiang had no doubt, so long as Elder Dan was willing, she could kill him casually with one look!

This is the strength of a martial artist standing at the peak of the Mortal Martial World!

At the forefront was Yun Xiaodao and Zhang De. However, they were both walking with extreme difficulty, each and every step was very difficult to take and was also extremely heavy. Behind them, there had been originally around 300 disciples but now barely 100 remained.

The entire square was littered with bloodstains. Each was from the blood spat out from disciples who couldn't endure.

More than half an hour past and Chen Xiang was sweating badly. Although he hadn't moved, the pressure he was under is not small. Now the only people walking in the square was ten or so.

Yun Xiaodao and Zhang De, the youth and old man were walking in the front. But blood was already overflowing from their mouths, their whole body was also sweating buckets. This endurance test was really fearsome.

Chen Xiang had once heard Yun Xiaodao say that over the many years, the large majority haven't ever passed the second assessment!

A little time passed by as Yun Xiaodao and Zhang De reached only 10 Zhang away from Elder Dan. Yet each step they now took was extremely difficult, it was as if their foot weighed 10,000,000 Jin.

Zhang De became unable to bear the pressure and kneeled on the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood, but even while kneeling he was still, like before, gradually and slowly moving forward. He had already stayed in the Outer Sect for far too long. Receiving the taunts of so many, yet now here he was, only a step away from passing the second assessment. There is no way he would give up!

Yun Xiaodao and Zhang De were always eliminated at this test. That's why they were well aware of its level of difficulty and that's why they were completely certain that after the "Special Care" provided Chen Xiang, it would be hopeless for him to pass the test!

Although Yun Xiaodao was only 16 years old, he was more formidable than Zhang De. He was actually able to walk through and came up behind Elder Dan. The pressure suddenly disappeared as he fell down onto the ground. Panting and struggling to gulp down more air, he quickly swallowed a pill for swift recovery because there was an even more formidable third assessment coming up!

"Old man Zhang, hold on!" Yun Xiaodao clenched both of his fists and shouted. He knew this type of hardship, he understood the depth of the desire to pass through this assessment.

"AHHHHHH!" A long and loud roar resounded. Finally, using his knees to walk, Old man Zhang arrived to the other end of the square. At the same time, many others had chosen to drop down and give up, because of this, they were seriously injured.

Among the 300 disciples that started this test, only two were able to pass the assessment! Chen Xiang had been standing behind them all, he saw with his own eyes how much despair and helplessness was present on those disciples when they choose to give up and leave!

Now only Chen Xiang was left to begin the test. Nobody could understand why Elder Dan would be so biased towards Chen Xiang. Although how Chen Xiang handled the matter was rather surprising, they also believed that he had no other choice!

"Chen Xiang it's your turn! You still have the option to give up. Otherwise you will definitely suffer excruciating pain and might also ruin your future cultivation!" Elder Dan sounded extremely cold. It was very difficult for anyone to understand why she hated Chen Xiang so much. After all, Chen Xiang was just a minor character, why would a famous person from the Chenwu Mainland hate him?

Chen Xiang himself didn't know how he offended this mysterious Elder Dan.

"I'm not going to give up!" Chen Xiang's voice was firm and powerful, spreading out in all directions. At the same time, every genius thought, Chen Xiang had also been subjected to the exact same pressure they had been, yet he is still upright, standing with a straight back. They simply could not compare with this kind of strength.

There were still many disciples in the square who hadn't left. There were also True Martial Realm experts, these were the Inner Sect Disciples. The Outer Sect Disciples who had just failed the assessment also wanted to see how Elder Dan was going to treat Chen Xiang.

"Then… Let's begin!" Elder Dan replied in a low voice.

After her statement ended, everyone felt a burst of scorching Qi waves surge in the square. What made everyone startled the most, was how those thick and strong giant bricks in the square began to resemble the sea and started heaving up and down.

It was immediately followed by a severe tremor, it was as if the whole Extreme Martial Sect was shaking. Those thick bricks in the square transformed into powder from that giant tremor!

The next scene made everyone suck in a deep cold breath. These special bricks were actually turned into powder in the blink of an eye! What was totally unexpected was that below those bricks, there was another layer of metal like material that looked far more sturdy.

An old man picked up a brick and threw it into the square. In the blink of an eye, that brick was transformed into powder. This kind of pressure was far stronger compared to what Yun Xiaodao underwent, and in addition to that, it was also extremely hot.

"If you can arrive behind my back, then you have passed this assessment!"

Elder Dan hadn't taken a single step, but instead transformed the entire square into a sea of lava in the blink of an eye.

Chen Xiang was sweating more and more. He could feel that the current pressure was at least several times stronger compared with the previous one, and was far more terrifying.

Everyone was holding their breath as they looked at Chen Xiang. His body was burnt by the flames, his robes were not able to withstand the scorching True Qi released by Elder Dan. In the blink of an eye, they were instantly burnt into ashes.

But for Chen Xiang, this did not matter. To the crowd's surprise, he was able to withstand such high temperatures. Furthermore, he also released flames that shielded his body.

Chen Xiang's fine strong muscles were now burning red. Although the pressure had increased, his back still remained tall and straight. His eyes were still clear as he stared straight at the burning pupils of the far away Elder Dan.

Chen Xiang took a step as his whole body fiercely shook. The metal floor he stepped upon was very hot, but due to him cultivating the [Vermillion Bird Divine Exercise], he was able to withstand this type of scorching heat.

Seeing Chen Xiang begin to walk, everyone watching was deeply moved. Even under such a scenario, Chen Xiang was still able to move. It must be known that even the Inner Sect Disciples watching were afraid to try it! Plus, Chen Xiang was just an Outer Sect Disciple, and was also only at the 9th level of the Mortal Martial Realm.

Chen Xiang walked very slowly because each step was extremely difficult to take. He had to spend nearly all of his True Qi to support his body. This was the Universal True Qi, even so, it was still extremely difficult for him.

Half an hour past as each and every step from Chen Xiang was clearly seen by everyone. Although in reality, it was just a short distance, for Chen Xiang it seemed as if he had been walking for more than 100 years.

"Humph!" The Elder Dan coldly snorted as Chen Xiang spat out a mouthful of blood. Everyone could see that Elder Dan had increased the pressure.

This was very unfair, but although everyone had this thought in their mind, they did not voice it out loud. They knew that Chen Xiang could not walk until the end, however they still admired Chen Xiang. This was because although he clearly knew the road would be nearly impossible, he still did not give up. Clenching his teeth, he once again began to move forward.

Time flowed slowly, each step from Chen Xiang shook everyone's soul. Each time Chen Xiang took a step, the crowd expected him to fall right after. Yet Chen Xiang defied their expectations each and every time, refusing to fall. He took one step after another, each time spitting out a mouthful of blood. As the blood fell on the metal tiles beneath him, it instantly evaporated into thin air.

"I said that you must stay in the Outer Sect to temper yourself. You must be obedient and abide, stay there! I will not let you pass through the second assessment!" To everyone's surprise, Elder Dan's voice was trembling. Apparently, she was very angry and also didn't expect Chen Xiang to be capable of arriving in front of her.

Immediately after her voice was transmitted, Chen Xiang emitted a horrible shriek as both of his knees touched the ground. Elder Dan was determined to not allow Chen Xiang to pass as she once again increased the level of pressure.

"Although…, … Although I do not know why you're doing this to me. I will never give in to you. I will definitely pass through this second assessment…" Chen Xiang suddenly let out a low laugh and spoke in a low tone.

The square was dead silent and everyone could hear his declaration very clearly.

After Chen Xiang vomited a large amount of blood, he once again stood up to everyone's surprise, only to see him then shout loudly, "I can die, but I will never bow to you!"

Never going to surrender! This was what Chen Xiang kept telling himself in his heart, and Bai Youyou and Su Meiyao also didn't say anything, and they seemed to be acquiesce with Chen Xiang doing this dangerous thing, at the same time the were also deeply shocked by this indomitable spirit of Chen Xiang's.

"Humph, human are like ants!" Elder Dan's voice was as if she was clenching her teeth, and it sounded like she was now angry.

Chen Xiang just walked no more than a few steps, he once again fell down, this time he was lying on the ground, from his whole body blood was gushing out.

"Did you not also came from an ant? Someday, I, this ant, will definitely transcend you." Chen Xiang clenched his and said. Although he sounded very weak, but anyone listening could sense it was full of pride.

Chen Xiang could not stand up, but he was still crawling bit by bit.

"Elder brother Chen........"Yun Xiaodao looked at Chen Xiang, his eyes were moist, and he then remembered just because it was too difficult to bear he gave up, but Chen Xiang wanted to pass through this second assessment so he was now fighting with his life. He just does not want to bow to this strong woman, even if he was an ant.

"Elder brother Chen, you'll definitely be able to come, hold on!" Yun Xiaodao originally believed Chen Xiang didn't stand a chance, but he hadn't expected Chen Xiang could persist and arrive here, so he could not help himself and shouted.

"Chen Xiang, enter the Inner Sect with us together, if I this old man had this kind of perseverance, then I would not still be staying in the Outer Sect for so long!" Zhang De was also infected by Chen Xiang.

"Chen Xiang, hold on! You can do it!" One man in the square loudly shouted.

Looking at Chen Xiang slowly crawling bit by bit on that scorching ground, and watching the blood evaporate from his body, everyone was deeply shocked.

"Chen Xiang.......Chen Xiang..........Chen Xiang" In the square hundreds of people shouted in unison, their sound resounded through the sky, and in the middle of the night the Extreme Martial Sect was shrouded with these blood seething sounds.

Listening to everyone's high-pitched voices, Chen Xiang's blood began to boil. He operated the few remaining True Qi, and struggled to crawl forward. His body was devastated and numb due to various kinds of pain, and now all of his perseverance was supporting him to crawl!

Elder Dan's tender body was trembling, as she did not expect that so many people would support Chen Xiang in front of her, which was simply contradicting her!

"Do not struggle, ants will be ants!" Elder Dan's voice was full of rage, because Chen Xiang was only two steps away from her.

"Ah------------" Chen Xiang suddenly let out a horrible shriek, only to see blood suddenly bursting out from both of his legs and arms, apparently Elder Dan has intentionally once again enhanced the pressure.

This was simply avenging personal enmity using public affairs, but Elder Dan was the No. 2 character in the Extreme Martial Sect, no one would dare to contradict her!

"This time I'll see how you will walk!" Elder Dan let loose a deep breath, and not only the firm and resolute expression in Chen Xiang's eyes were making her unhappy, but Chen Xiang to her surprise had also not give up.

"Ha ha ha......." Chen Xiang to everyone's surprise loudly laughed. He was only two steps away, that was not only the gateway to third assessment, but also the outcome between him and Elder Dan.

Although he was far inferior to Elder Dan, but here he must definitely win against Elder Dan!

"This father will never surrender to you!" Chen Xiang loudly laughed, and suddenly he let out a loud shout, only to see flames suddenly gushing out from his back, while a pair of giant wings arppeared on his back.

Those wings swiftly flapped, scorching fire waves one after another started gushing out, and Chen Xiang's body started to rise. All of this happened in the blink of an eye, however, in that small instant, Chen Xiang's battered body was already behind Elder Dan.

Elder Dan was shocked, and so was everyone else.

Chen Xiang actually had a True Qi Wing type Martial Skill which was a very precious and rare martial skill! In the most crucial moment, it let Chen Xiang leap the last two steps, making him pass through the second assessment!

"Ha ha ha........This father is through the second assessment, ha ha ha ha........" There was not a little bit of strength left in Chen Xiang's whole body, and he was lying on the ground, looking at the moon in the sky, while letting out a crazy laugh one after another.

Everyone in the square was speechless, and listening to Chen Xiang's maniac laughter, not only in their hearts were they shocked, but at the same time they were also excited, envied him, and admired him.............

"Do not laugh, there is still the third assessment." Yun Xiaodao wiped the tears in his eyes, and stuffed a bunch of dans into his mouth, and Chen Xiang, in the an instant, could distinguish that these were all Low-Grade Spirit Level Dan, there was a bunch of True Qi Dans for recovering his True Qi, Nine Recovering Dans which were quickly healing his internal injuries......

This moved Chen Xiang's heart.

"This is the White Jade Dan, take it and use it!" Zhu Rong came and threw him a jade box.

Middle-Grade Spirit Level White Jade Dan, this was a very precious healing dan, and the stingy Zhu Rong was actually willing to give him. Chen Xiang and Yun Xiaodao were looking at him with an incredible expression in their eyes.

"Do not thank me!" Zhu Rong proudly said.

Yun Xiaodao and Zhang De also quickly smeared the herbal powder in the jade box on Chen Xiang's body. This herbal powder was similar to white jade; crystal clear and very beautiful.

"Elder Dan, disciple with great courage asks you, why must you be dead set against me? Do you like to avenge personal vendettas using public means!" It was impossible not to have anger in Chen Xiang's heart. Just a moment ago he was kind of presumptuous in front of Elder Dan, and was also fearless.

"I made it very clear, you are young and fit, I just want you to sharpen yourself in the Outer Sect!" Elder Dan actually had not been angry, but at this moment, she was unable to say anything again.

"Avenge personal enmity using public means? So what if it I am? I have the strength, so I can do whatever I want. Also, the Extreme Martial Sect can not bind me, those rules are only established for you!" Elder Dan said with disdain, "You want justice? Strength is justice, and as long as I want, I can kill you now. No one will say anything to me, and also no one will take revenge for you!"

"Indeed, you can do this, but some things aren't absolute, just like how I was able to pass through the second assessment and you weren't able to stop me!" Chen Xiang said while sneering, "But someday I'll get back to you! You better kill me now."

Zhang De and Yun Xiaodao were smearing medicine on Chen Xiang, but their hands could not help but tremble. They totally had not expected Chen Xiang would actually dare to talk back to number 2 character of the Extreme Martial Sect!

Elder Dan burst into laughter, but her laughter was very stiff, and not very natural, making everyone who heard a little confused.

"Good, Good! I'd like to see up to what extent you'll grow? I promise you, as long as one day you can beat me, you can do whatever you want to punish me, if you want to marry me you also can!" Elder Dan spoke loudly, once again making people dazed.

Chen Xiang was also very much surprised, however he teasingly said, "I'll not bother to marry you, you face is always covered in a mask, maybe it is disfigured, at that time I'll suffer!"

Yun Xiaodao and Zhang De very much wanted to sew Chen Xiang's mouth together. One after another he was actually speaking these kind of words as if he didn't want to live, and Zhu Rong also went far away, fearing Elder Dan will suddenly explode and if he would also be affected.

"You do not want to live?" Elder Dan voice was extremely cold.

"If I wanted to live, I would have already fled before. Look at me. Does it look like the type of person who wants to live?" Chen Xiang replied like he did not want to live.

"Do you think I cannot kill you?" Elder Dan stepped forward, and purple flames gushed out from her slender and beautiful hands.

Seeing the purple flame, Chen Xiang, in his heart, was greatly startled. He heard Su Meiyao and Bai Youyou speaking, and only those who possess a Fire Spirit could release purple flames.

"Come on then. So that after this I won't not have to marry you, an ugly girl, and you also will not have to marry this boy wet behind the ears after this.........." Chen Xiang could not finish his sentence, his mouth was covered by Yun Xiaodao.

Elder Dan received the flames in her hand, and said coldly, "What I said before, I'll certainly keep my promise, as long as you beat me, I'll marry you, and at that time I'll be at your disposal."

"And......my appearance does not have much of difference with your fiancee, Xue Xianxian!" Elder Dan finished speaking, flew and left.

Yun Xiaodao and Zhang De were stunned, while Zhu Rong immediately rushed over, both of his hands grabbing Chen Xiang's shoulder, and with a look of disbelief he asked, "Xue Xianxian was really your fiancee?"

Chen Xiang curled his lips and said, "You heard what that woman said a moment ago? Besides I already told you earlier, she is my fiancee!"

Xue Xianxian's name in the martial arts sects of Chenwu Mainland had reverberated like lightning because at the age of only 15, she was already a True Martial Realm martial artist!

These days Chen Xiang also found out that he himself had fallen behind Xue Xianxian by a large margin.

"Bastard.......Bastard, such a good girl, how is she willing to marry someone like you?"

Zhu Rong looked jealous and shook Chen Xiang's body, and anyone could see he really wanted to hit Chen Xiang.

Chen Xiang's injuries were much better now. After Elder Dan was gone, everyone else came to Chen Xiang's side, and inquired about his well being. The expression in their eyes when they looked at Chen Xiang was also full of respect, and spoke things such as if there was an opportunity to get some advice and so on.

Chen Xiang, Yun Xiaodao and Zhang De were the only ones who could enter the third assessment, and although there was an age difference between each of them, they were very good friends, so they only hoped that the third assessment would not be sparring with each other, as that was too brutal for them.

At this time Chen Xiang controlled his breathing, rested for about half an hour, and then thought in the end who Elder Dan was.

"Meiyao sister, Youyou sister, do you have any clue?" asked Chen Xiang.

"No, but it is not necessary that you know this woman. You should know trying to understand a woman's heart is very difficult. It may be because of only one look in your eyes, or something about your behavior that gave her a bad impression and she hated you, or maybe she really was good to you and wanted you to stay in the Outer Sect?" replied Su Meiyao.

"This woman's strength is not bad, and she actually has a Fire Spirit! If I'm not wrong, it should be the Purple Moon Fire Spirit." said bai Youyou.

"Yes, it must be the Purple Moon Fire Spirit, and according to legends, the moon suddenly became purple and the aura it emitted shone on the land of the mortal world. That land was engulfed by the purple flames, and was incinerated for 7-7-49 ten thousand years (490,000). Only after that fire was extinguished did that land in the mortal world then have life, flowers, grasses, and trees born out various kinds of life! At that time a fire of life was also bred out and it was known as the Purple Moon Fire Spirit, but this is the legends of the Purple Moon World! Does this woman come from the Purple Moon World?" said Su Meiyao.

[TLN: 7-7-49, the number 49, square of seven is used in chinese folks, taoist and buddhist rituals. For eg, it is believed a recently deceased spirit will linger in the living world for 49 days, so a second requiem is always performed at the end of 49 days. similarly, many rituals are required the performer to undergo a 49-day cleansing, fasting etc.]

Chen Xiang had not expected one Fire Spirit to actually have so much history, and he secretly determined Su Meiyao and Bai Youyou had once travelled many worlds.

"I do not know. Wait for me to get married to her. Later on I'll ask her and then we'll know." Chen Xiang said with a depraved smile.

"God knows how many years we would have to wait, this woman could be in the Nirvana Realm, which is the top most existence in the mortal world." said Su Meiyao.

After restoring his injuries, Chen Xiang was pleasantly surprised to find his body had become a lot stronger, but it was also very clear his True Qi was enhanced. After getting tossed around, his True Qi was compressed, and its quality was enhanced by several times.

Within a short period of time, the elevation was so distinct, which made Chen Xiang secretly shocked, and he began to suspect that Elder Dan may not really be malicious, but just wanted to sharpen him. It was just that her way of doing things was too strict and extreme.

"Wait for me to enter Inner Sect again and be admitted in the Extreme Dan Courtyard. At that time I can enjoy two kinds of treatment!" Chen Xiang decided, and he was suddenly curious about Elder Dan. In order to have contact with her, he could only go to the Extreme Dan Courtyard, because Elder Dan was the head of the Extreme Dan Courtyard.

Chen Xiang, Yun Xiaodao and Zhang De were lead by Zhu Rong to the innermost region of the Extreme Martial Sect, and Chen Xiang and the others could see courtyards of various sizes

"The 99th Inner Sect Martial Courtyard, is where we're going?" Yun Xiaodao, looking at a numerical engraving, exclaimed.

"We're going to the Elder Courtyard! I also went there during my third assessment." Zhu Rong patted his round belly, and there was a eery smile on his face, "The third assessment is not as frightening as second assessment, but it is still quite difficult, but after passing through there will be many benefits."

To their surprise they had to go to the Elder Courtyard, the residential area of all the elders of the Extreme Martial Sect, which made Chen Xiang and the others to feel a lot of pressure. Chen Xiang was also worried that because of his conflict with Elder Dan, this may have caused the whole Elder Courtyard to be against him, then he really would not be able to mix in the Extreme Martial Sect anymore.

"The Extreme Martial Dean went into closed-door training for many years, and now all the affairs are managed by Elder Wu. Elder Dan is always kind of elusive, and throughout the year will not appear even once to give lectures." said Zhu Rong, "The Elder Wu is responsible for third assessment."

Elder Wu was number 3 character in the Extreme Martial Sect. He was very harmonious and amicable, and although his cultivation was very high and remote, he did not have even a little bit of arrogance. Many disciples liked him, which made Chen Xiang and the others to let loose a deep breath, as at least they did not have to face someone moody like Elder Dan, this strange woman.

"This is the Elder Courtyard? It really is a little different." Yun Xiaodao didn't expect that there actually would be a paradise 世外桃源 here in the Extreme Martial Sect. There were not any kind of buildings here, but instead there were mountains and lakes, with a very vast prairie and although it was now night, but a bright moon and many star lights were shining here. The scenery here was very beautiful.

[TLN: 世外桃源 imaginary land of joy and plenty, in other words, paradise, Shangri-la so and so]

"Why can I not see this type of scenery from the outside? Moreover it looks like it is bigger here than Tianmen City in the outside!" said Chen Xiang with some doubt.

"Ha ha ha, this is one Mysterious Realm, and one can only see the inside things when they are near it, but if you're looking from far, it will be blocked by a kind of mystical power. What you're looking are only some of the things present before the entrance of the Mysterious Realm." A bald old man, but with a long white beard and long white eyebrows suddenly appeared behind Chen Xiang and the others.

Chen Xiang and the others were startled, and they quickly turned around, only to see a bald old man right in front of them slightly smiling, with a pair of narrowed old eyes right under the long white eyebrows looking very harmonious.

Mysterious Realm, some small independent space. This was equivalent to one small world, and was very mystical. Like how this Mysterious Realm was not very big, but if looked at from the outside it was invisible, and only if one went through its entrance could one clearly see. It was still a mystery how this kind of Mysterious Realm was formed.

Chen Xiang and the others have heard the legends of the Mysterious Realms, but they actually had not expected for one to exist in the Extreme Martial Sect. Moreover it was also in the Elder Courtyard!

"Elder Wu!" Chen Xiang and others shouted in unison, and gave a salute to this old man.

Elder Wu name was Wu Kaiming 武开明, and he was responsible for the safety matters of the Extreme Martial Sect. He was one ruthless character, and it was confirmed that once to save his own apprentice, he rushed in alone to a Devil Path Sect, and rescued his disciple.

"No need to be overly courteous." Wu Kaiming happily smiling said, "You're Chen Xiang? Elder Dan asked me a moment ago to make things difficult for you in the third assessment, but I refused. I do not want a disciple to hate their sect, but having said that, you truly are one of a kind, making that woman suppress a lot of anger. Fortunately, she is not an overly bad-tempered woman, otherwise, she would have beaten you to death. We old men can only say a few words on the surface to her."

After hearing this, this made Zhu Rong, Yun Xiaodao and the others break into cold sweat.

Chen Xiang said with a smile, "So it seems I really do have very good luck, but now it seems to be she is no longer going to do anything against me? Regarding this, it can be counted as I was easily let off!"

"Hard to say, this woman's temper is a little strange, so you better not let her continue to hate you, otherwise........You will be tortured by her in such a way that you will wish for a death." Wu Kaiming said while laughing, and regarding Chen Xiang, such rare and wonderful flower, he was very much interested. As for Chen Xiang's potential, it was very obvious to many people that Elder Dan was intentionally making things difficult in his case, and he was still able to pass!

"No more nonsense, I'll not start talking about the content of the third assessment. Some regions in the Mysterious Realm you will have to carry on a mission to hunt and kill demon beasts, and you must do it within three days, while each person must hunt three Grade-10 demon beasts! There are a very large number of demon beasts inside, and their strength is also comparable with yours, so as long as you complete this, you can pass the third assessment."

Chen Xiang and the others ,regarding the Mysterious Realm, didn't know too much, and just knew that it was very mysterious. Moreover it had regions where a large number of heaven bred treasures existed, and even had a large number of demon beasts. For martial artists, it was a natural treasury, but there were also many unknown dangers.

Elder Wu saw them having a doubtful expression and immediately said, "The Elder Courtyard had already been moved into this Mysterious Realm, and this Mysterious Realm's ins and outs are well known to us. This is already within our control so you do not have to worry about encountering the strong demon beasts, the only strongest demon beasts are Grade-10 demon beasts."

Zhu Rong asked, "Haven't all the heaven bred treasures already been plundered by you? If these three guys picked up some of the remaining treasures, will they have to hand those over to you? At my assessment how is it that I didn't have this kind of assessment?"

Elder Wu scoffingly said, "Little fatty, you and your family are really like that old fatty! If they come and pick up some good things, they do not need to hand it over to us, but it must be reported to us for us to know. If you want to dispose of it, then selling it to the Extreme Martial Sect takes precedence."

In the third assessment they actually had to hunt and kill three Grade-10 demon beasts. This test was indeed a test of one's combined strength, and Chen Xiang was looking very forward to it.

"In front there are three roads, respectively leading to three or more demon beasts locations. This is the storage belt which can store a large number of things, and you also need to bring back the demon beasts corpses. Remember you can not pocket them or else we'll know about it! We are the ones who placed the demon beasts inside but after you kill them, you can get half of demon beast which can be considered a reward for you!" Elder Wu took out three black belts and handed it to them.

Chen Xiang and the others took the belt, and afterwards mutually encouraged each other. They then embarked on the roads that led them deep into the Mysterious Realm.

"Elder Wu, where is the Elder Courtyard?" After Zhu Rong saw Chen Xiang and others leaving, he looked around but did not see any kind of building.

"Secret, in short, it is inside but I can tell you that Elder Dan also moved a few of her small courtyards of the Extreme Dan Courtyard. So long as you enter those few small courtyards, you will be able to stay inside for a long time." Elder Wu mysteriously smiled..

The Elder Courtyard of the Extreme Martial Sect had always been a mystery, and no one knew how many old men were in it. They also didn't know their exact strength, as people only knew a few of the Elders.

"Sometimes it is not needed for one to be very powerful to enter the Elder Courtyard, and as long as you reach a certain stage, you'll know. Every once in awhile there will be an Elder Assessment, and once you are able to pass that, you'll be able to become an Elder." Elder Wu patted Zhu Rong's shoulder, then took him away.

Chen Xiang was walking on the road, watching the numerous stars in the beautiful sky, breathing the scent in the air, and he felt that it was very rich in Spirit Qi here, and sighed in his heart.

"I did not expect the Extreme Martial Sect to also have such a big mystery and even have a Mysterious Realm. I think they have almost exploited all the resources of the Mysterious Realm and now preparing to announce their Extreme Martial Sect's confidential secret. This will create momentum for the Extreme Martial Sect." said Su Meiyao.

"Sister Meiyao, have you seen any other Mysterious Realms?" Chen Xiang asked.

"Of course I have, but nothing like this where it is so beautiful. There are some very dangerous places, but inside they also have a lot of heaven bred treasures. This is a fact." Su Meiyao replied.

The Extreme Martial Sect could stand at the peak in the Chenwu Mainland, and they reached such a stage depending on this Mysterious Realm!

...

...

In an old mansion of a courtyard, three transparent crystal balls were hanging as high as the height of a human, and from the three crystal balls one could clearly see Chen Xiang, Yun Xiaodao, Zhang De, their silhouettes. It was like a picture that was overlooking from the sky.

Next to the three crystal balls, there were twenty or so people, and among these people there was also Wu Kaiming, Elder Dan, and some other old men or women. There were also several middle-aged and young people, but most of them had a mask on their face.

Because a number of years had passed since any disciple had passed the second assessment, and now there was Chen Xiang, this remarkable young man who passed through, these Elder Courtyard's Elder men and women all wanted to take a look at Chen Xiang and how he would pass through the second assessment.

"This Chen Xiang brat is so talented, and certainly did not reach this stage by the guidance of an ordinary person. He must have a powerful guy behind him, but why did he come to the Extreme Martial Sect? We have never seen the martial technique he uses, and although they are not very high-ranked, but comparing it with the martial technique of same level they are very strong!" One average looking young man said.

"Hei Hei, I'm truly not clear why Elder Dan would want to play with such a large gambling stake with him. What if in the one in a million chance he wins?" said Wu Kaiming while laughing.

Other people also expressed their surprise.

Elder Dan coldly snorted and said, "Old man Wu, if you beat me now I'll immediately marry you. As long as anyone here can beat me, I'll marry him!"

Nobody said anything again. Wanting to win against Elder Dan was not an easy thing, and even the Extreme Martial Dean who went into closed-door training would also not dare to try.

"Now we have to find out why this brat came to the Extreme Martial Sect!" That young man said.

"He should not have any kind of motive, as according to what we have gathered, he came to the Extreme Martial Sect just to elevate himself. Although he can use formidable martial skills, but it is not by much, and I think he may have come here regarding this." Wu Kaiming replied.

"It is also likely that he came here just to enhance his alchemy techniques, but he should not even think about entering the Extreme Dan Courtyard," Elder Dan sneered.

"Do not be so sure. Didn't you say before that you'll not let him pass through the second assessment? But he still successfully passed, and also showed off in front of you." Elder Wu said while laughing.

"Humph! This brat. Sooner or later, there will be a day when I'll ask him to clear all the debt." Elder Dan snorted and said.

"I hope he does not have any bad motive, otherwise, we'll not be lenient!" That young man said.

Elder Wu nodded his head, and said, "Anybody interested in receiving him as an apprentice? This is a very good seedling. Moreover we can also have a clear understanding of him."

Everybody here were capable people and certainly Elder Courtyard Members, so all of them were very powerful and had strong authority. At this time they were having a discussion, they had already seen Chen Xiang's potential, especially his indomitable personality had also obtained most of their appreciation.

"Whoever dares to receive him as an apprentice, you are against me!" Elder Dan suddenly shouted, making everyone once again quite down, "Even if Boss Dean wanted him as an apprentice, I'll make him not feel any better! Not to mention it is still not an uncertainty whether or not he will enter the True Martial Realm. For many years have we not seen many geniuses stuck in the 10th level of the Mortal Martial Realm for a lifetime?"

Everybody could see that Elder Dan hated Chen Xiang very much. At this time they were also the same as those disciples, and did not understand why would Elder Dan hates Chen Xiang so much.

"Girl, you're stingy. Is not because that young arrogant little fellow contradicted you or anything? Are you still preoccupied with it?" One old man laughed and shook his head, and after everyone heard, their body could not help but tremble.

Because they knew that this mysterious Elder Dan was very vengeful, and the person whom she hated, will not have a good ending. A long time ago, few fearsome Devil Lords in the Devil Path used words to blasphemy her, and she made their fate totally worse than death.

Chen Xiang at this time was smiling, and leisurely walking on the road, watching the beautiful Mysterious Realm. He totally didn't know that he was being watched and discussed by a group of strange old men, and moreover he didn't know that Elder Dan was thinking of another way to make things difficult for him.

The road Chen Xiang was originally walking on, was paved with bricks but now it suddenly turned into a dirt road. Chen Xiang also psyched himself as he felt he had entered the demon beast infested region.

He left the the prairie region, arriving at a region with many weeds, and he suddenly noticed something.

"There seems to be humans. Demon beast's breath should definitely not be like this." Chen Xiang was uncertain in his heart as he felt a few humans hiding inside the thick patch of grass.

Chen Xiang's body shook a little, releasing a wave of True Qi, and the weeds all around him were shattered, only to see four young men, who were wearing the Extreme Martial Sect Disciple's dress appear, while each of them had a black stick in their hand.

"What do you want to do?" Chen Xiang loudly asked, and he sensed a kind of polished Fire Qi emanating from these four disciple's bodies. These four individuals were fire attributed, and they were all exuding a slightly medicinal-herb smell. Only someone dealing with herbs all year around would have this kind of smell.

The four men were in the 10th level of the Mortal Martial Realm, while at the same time they moved and surrounded Chen Xiang.

"You are Chen Xiang?" One man with delicate and pretty kind of appearance asked.

"Yes!" Chen Xiang voice fell, meanwhile the four men at the same time waved their stick in their hands towards Chen Xiang.

Chen Xiang immediately released a Qi Aura shield, blocking off the four incoming iron sticks, sneered and said, "You are from the Extreme Dan Courtyard, right?"

Chen Xiang's words made the four men's whole body tremble, but they did not say anything and continued to attack Chen Xiang. Chen Xiang concluded that these four individuals were Inner Sect Disciples, but also from the Extreme Dan Courtyard, as their strength was also not bad.

Four black iron sticks turned red, burning with severe flames, and released a scorching hot Qi Aura. Someone was stabbing, another was striking, and another was raising their stick to attack Chen Xiang.

[ED Note: Not sure what the fourth guy is doing but ask the author that questions:P]

The four men's strength and Chen Xiang's was just about the same, and sensing the fearful power that they released, Chen Xiang only now understood the difference between an Inner Sect and Outer Sect Disciple.

It was a first for Chen Xiang to be surrounded by several equally matched opponents, but he did not panic. His brow wrinkled, and an endless Slaughter Qi permeated from his body shrouding the four people's bodies, making them suddenly startled.

The moment they became surprised, Chen Xiang fiercely did a 360 degree kick, and Vermillion Bird True Qi and Azure Dragon True Qi gathered on his legs, blowing out a fearful fire and lightning power, kicking off the iron stick in their hands which was then followed by a fierce jump into the air.

"Were you sent by Dan? Tell her, if she sends someone again, then don't blame me for being impolite! Whoever hinders me in the assessment, I'll destroy anyone!" Chen Xiang's voice was filled with Slaughter Qi, and from his back burst out a firelight. A pair of flame wings in the blink of an eye were congealed on his back.

Chen Xiang released the [Vermillion Bird Fire Wing], and flew out of those disciple's encirclement. If he had not casted the [Slaughtering Heart], then he definitely would still be surrounded by the four men and it would be very difficult for him to get out. At the least he would have to spend his time and strength.

Inside the Courtyard, Wu Kaiming sighed and said, " Dan, you should just give up. This brat's Slaughter Qi is very heavy, and if he gets mad, maybe he would really start killing."

Flames were glittering in Dan's pupils, and seeing the Chen Xiang travelling in the air in the crystal ball, she could not help but clench both of her fists, and coldly snorted.

Seeing Chen Xiang's gorgeous and dazzling [Vermillion Bird Fire Wing], all the s were filled with envy, only to hear one old man talking with a sigh, "This True Qi wing compared with mine is much better. You look at those feathers. They are simply life like, as if these flame wings are grown from that brat's flesh and blood. In the end what kind of martial skill is this?"

"Yes, his speed is also so fast, and if he also had more strength, then his flying speed with this True Qi wing would be much faster." Another old man closely watching Chen Xiang's [Vermillion Bird Fire Wing] spoke.

Chen Xiang, under the four men's staring eyes and opened mouthes, fluttered the [Vermillion Bird Fire Wings] and flew away. Of course, he himself didn't know that he was always being watched.

"Chen Xiang, it is best that you remain low-key, this is the Extreme Martial Sect's old codgers site, and your each and every move is known by them." Bai Youyou reminded him.

After Chen Xiang heard that he slightly raised his little mouth, dived to the ground coming next to a tree, unlocked his belt, and while humming started peeing........

"Someday, I'll have to take a good look at this brat!" Dan clenched her teeth and said. She then flung her head and left.

Chen Xiang pulled up his pants, but heard a burst of a very faint sound. It was like someone or something had stepped on a fallen leaf and emitted a very subtle sound.

"Good fellas. In such a far place someone shady has come over!" Chen Xiang was listening with rapt attention, and he did not expect he would encounter a demon beast so soon!

"Chen Xiang, in this Mysterious Realm there might be some treasures. Didn't that old baldy say that what you found is yours? Human beings can not be compared with these demon beasts. They are naturally born with a mystical spiritual sense, which is capable of finding some rare and exotic treasures. If you can track these demon beasts, perhaps you'll find some good things." said Su Meiyao.

Chen Xiang's eyes had an excited look and he said, "I understand, here there are are demon beasts because these old men intentionally put them to search for rare and exotic treasures."

Grade-10 demon beasts were equivalent to humankind's 10th level Mortal Martial Realm, the Completion stage, but in line with their demon beast constitution and innate ability, Grade-10 demon beasts were much more powerful than ordinary 10th level Mortal Martial Realm martial artists.

"Here demon beasts are common demon beasts, so if you use your [Dragon Slaying Divine Martial Skill] or [Divine Exercise Of Four Symbols], then you can easily deal with them. These martial skills imitate the divine beast's breath so if an ordinary demon beasts senses it, they will be scared! But it is useless in dealing with True Martial Realm demon beasts." said Bai Youyou.

Chen Xiang also did not expect the [Divine Exercise of Four Symbols] to have this kind of benefit and he started dashing towards that weak sound he had just previously heard.

Chen Xiang was running swiftly, and while quickly moving he also sensed that hidden demon beast so he quickly dashed towards the demon beast,

Not too long after, Chen Xiang and that demon beast met, and both of them, with breakneck speed, collided with each other at the same time.The moment Chen Xiang collided, he punched out a fist, striking that demon beast's body.

This beast was covered in a black armor, and it was a panther with blue-eyed. It could not be counted as too big, but this was a very sensitive demon beast.

"Worthy of Grade-10 demon beast. My fists struck it but it did not inflict even a little bit of damage!" Chen Xiang saw that blue-eyed panther swiftly and violently hurling towards him, and he could not help but exclaim.

Chen Xiang's body shook, a golden light surged out, and in his heart he was silently reciting the Heart Law. The White Tiger True Qi within his body transformed into Dragon Aura as he was casting the [Dragon Slayer Divine Martial Skill]!

Although this was an incomplete [Dragon Slayer Divine Martial Skill] but it could allow Chen Xiang's body to release the weak pressure of a dragon, and in addition to this it was filled Slaughter Qi made out of the White Tiger True Qi, which made it even more frightening.

As Bai Youyou previously said, common demon beasts were very afraid of this kind of breath so when this kind of breath swooped over, the body of the panther fiercely trembled, and its speed also decreased by a lot.

Chen Xiang blasted a fist towards that shuddering blue-eyed panther, struck its head, and made it howl, but after falling to the ground it once again stood firmly.

"Good fellas, it did not fall!" Chen Xiang teasingly looked at that shuddering blue-eyed panther.

The Blue-eyed panther emitted a growl, and unexpectedly turned around and dashed away.

"This guy unexpectedly is scared of me!" Chen Xiang laughed and quickly followed it and was even faster than that blue-eyed panther, while his body was emanating Dragon Qi Aura made of Slaughter Qi.

The people inside the Courtyard were very shocked after watching this. The demon beast was actually scared off by a human, like how a mouse saw a cat and flees, and in the hearts of a few old men, suddenly a bad feeling emerged.
