Pill God Returns

In the Fighting God Pagoda, there was a Young Man who was wearing a robe embroidered with clouds. He slowly turned around and saw a person behind him. This man's cultivation base was very weak, he was only at the Seventh Empyrean of True Martial Stage. However, he had persisted until now.    

"You are Wu Chen?"    

Young Man glanced at Wu Chen and recognized him. This man was known by everyone in the sect.    

While he was looking at Wu Chen, Wu Chen was also looking at him. Strangely, he felt that this man's face was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before. However, he couldn't remember.    

"Excuse me, have we met somewhere before? Why do I feel that you are very familiar?"    

Unexpectedly, this young man actually nodded his head. "Yes."    

Wu Chen was even more surprised. He sized up this person from head to toe and seriously thought about it in his mind. Suddenly, he was shocked and remembered.    

On the first day he entered the Beichen House, in the spring canteen in Qin Garden, he saw a young expert. At that time, he was only at the Ninth Empyrean of True Martial Stage. After half a year, his cultivation base had already broken through to the Peak of the Ninth Empyrean of True Martial Stage. He was only a step away from the Astral Reaching Stage and becoming a true disciple. If he could take this step... Then, he would be able to break through to the Astral Reaching Stage. He would become a true disciple.    

However, the last step was not easy to take. Even if he was a monstrous genius, there was a possibility that he would be stuck at this step. He wouldn't be able to break through to the Astral Reaching Stage in his lifetime, and he would become a true disciple with a prestigious status in the Beichen House.    

"It seems like you have remembered."    

Looking at Wu Chen, the young man knew that he must have remembered something.    

"However, you have really shocked me. When I first saw you, you are the Third Empyreans Of the Genuine Martial Stage. It has only been half a year. You have already become a Seventh Empyrean of True Martial Stage. Your cultivation speed... It makes all of us feel ashamed. "    

In just half a year, his cultivation base had risen from the Ninth Empyrean of True Martial Stage to the Peak of the Ninth Empyrean of True Martial Stage. He didn't even have the slightest clue about the legendary Astral Reaching Stage. He didn't know how long it would take for him to break through smoothly.    

Those who were qualified to enter the Beichen House were all talented. As long as they were willing to work hard and persist in their cultivation, they would be able to break through to the Peak of the Ninth Empyrean of True Martial Stage if they had enough time.    

However, the Astral Reaching Stage was different. This realm... To many young geniuses, it was a tall mountain. It was insurmountable. If one didn't have enough talent and heaven-defying luck... It would take a very long time for a Peak of the Ninth Empyrean of True Martial Stage warrior to break through to the Astral Reaching Stage. He might even be stuck in the Peak of the Ninth Empyrean of True Martial Stage for the rest of his life, unable to break through in his lifetime. This was also the reason why expert at Astral Reaching Stage was so rare.    

The Beichen House had hundreds of thousands of disciples, but only a few hundred true disciples. There had never been more than a thousand of them. The rest of the Super Sect were similar to them. They were even worse than the Beichen House. For example, the worst Super Sect in East Mystic Region. There were only dozens of true disciples in total.    

Among all the Super Sect in the East Mystic Region, perhaps only the Taiyi Sect had over a thousand true disciples. The true disciples were a symbol of the strength of the sect. This was also the reason why the Taiyi Sect was so powerful. Just from the number and quality of the true disciples, one could see a thing or two.    

Therefore, once one reached the True Martial Stage, what was more important was talent. Those with outstanding talent could quickly break through to the next realm. Those who quickly became stronger, but those with poor talent couldn't break through even after a long time. It was useless even if the starting point was high, because the talent was limited. Sooner or later, he would be caught up by those who came later.    

Without a doubt, Wu Chen belonged to the group with outstanding talent. In half a year, he had broken through four levels in a row. Such a terrifying cultivation speed, perhaps only those with special physiques could do it.    

Wu Chen chuckled. Only he knew how he could break through so quickly. It was because he had devoured and refined the Dragon Soul of the Azure Dragon in Azure Dragon Secret Realm. The strength of the Azure Dragon was extraordinary. The power of his Dragon Soul... Naturally, it was incomparably powerful. Wu Chen was able to absorb it. His cultivation base was the only one that could advance so quickly. If he were to cultivate by himself... Whether or not he could reach the Sixth Empyrean of True Martial Stage was a huge problem.    

"I heard that you said that you want to get into the top ten?"    

Wu Chen nodded. "Yes."    

To him, getting into the top ten of this year's disciple competition was as easy as taking something out of his pocket. It was as easy as blowing off dust.    

However, his current goal was not to get into the top ten, but to get the first place in this year's disciple competition.    

"Top ten, it's not that easy. I have to defeat everyone else here before I can get into the top ten."    

The young man spoke slowly. Even he didn't dare think of entering the top 10. This was because this was the Beichen House. There were as many experts as the clouds, and those who were stronger than him... There were many of them, even amongst Peak of the Ninth Empyrean of True Martial Stage warriors. There was a huge gap in strength between them, and it wasn't easy to make up for it.    

Wu Chen looked at him and said word by word, "I will defeat them one by one."    

The young man laughed. "Since you want to defeat everyone, let's start with me, Kang Yang. I hope you can fulfill your wish."    

Kang Yang was his name.    

"Make your move"    

Kang Yang's feet trembled as an extremely powerful force appeared. It erupted from his body like a volcanic eruption. As he charged forward, a terrifying force covered the entire space. It formed a violent storm that engulfed the entire space.    

Wu Chen's expression gradually turned serious. Judging from Kang Yang's Qi... It wasn't something that an ordinary person could possess, even if it was expert at the Ninth Empyrean of True Martial Stage. He couldn't be compared to such a powerful expert. He didn't dare to be the slightest bit careless.    

"It's finally about to begin."    

Outside, many people were looking at this side. This time, Wu Chen's opponent was a Peak of the Ninth Empyrean of True Martial Stage, the one who had the highest chance of breaking through to the Astral Reaching Stage and becoming a true disciple.    

They were full of anticipation for this battle. Originally, they had disdained Wu Chen, thinking that he was just a clown. However, Wu Chen used his fist and glorious battle record to tell them... He was different from ordinary people. He was indeed powerful. It wasn't just a lie.    

"Wu Chen, you can do it!"    

Zhao Peng and the others were very happy. They all cheered for Wu Chen and supported his fight.
