Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Beaten to Death Alive!
"Just consolidating the realm has increased my strength so much!"
Feeling the powerful force within his body, Luo Cheng was somewhat surprised.
Under normal circumstances, consolidating a realm does very little to enhance combat power, and increasing strength by one or two thousand pounds is already quite impressive.
However, Luo Cheng increased his strength by five thousand pounds in an instant!
Even his physique had become significantly stronger!
"Could it be because I have achieved the Body Refining Extreme Realm..."
Luo Cheng could only think of one reason.
This made him more eager to achieve the Transcendence Seventh Layer Golden Body Realm!
"If I break through to the Sixth Layer of the Transcendence Realm now, I wonder if I can directly reach a strength of one hundred thousand pounds! My body transforms, achieving the Golden Body..."
Luo Cheng was eager to give it a try!
But with a change of thought, Luo Cheng immediately suppressed this idea.
Right now, he’s only fifty or sixty percent sure of breaking through to the Golden Body Realm, which is far from enough!
Luo Cheng planned to cultivate the True Dragon Technique to the sixth level before breaking through the realm!
By doing so, he would tackle it on both fronts, giving him eighty to ninety percent confidence to break past his limits in one go, achieving the Golden Body!
"Breaking through to the Sixth Layer of the Transcendence Realm can generally increase strength by fifty thousand pounds, and the sixth level of the True Dragon Technique can at least boost it by another ten thousand pounds. I refuse to believe that won’t succeed!"
A fierce determination surged in Luo Cheng’s heart. After taking a deep breath, he took out a Primordial Spirit Fruit Elixir Pill and swallowed it.
In the last month, Luo Cheng consumed a total of seven Primordial Spirit Fruit Elixir Pills, along with over a hundred Essence Energy Pills!
Each Primordial Spirit Fruit Elixir Pill is worth at least one to two million taels!
Each Essence Energy Pill is valued at ten thousand taels!
That is to say, in less than a month’s time, Luo Cheng consumed wealth exceeding ten million taels!
Over ten million taels! This is equivalent to the entire wealth of some small families! You can say it’s extremely extravagant.
Luo Cheng, however, didn’t care in the slightest.
He knew very well that strength is everything!
No matter how much wealth one has, it’s pointless if you don’t have the strength to keep it.
Just like the once-glorious Lin Family, being chased out of Qishan City ultimately came down to lacking strength!
Buzz!
As the Primordial Spirit Fruit Elixir Pill entered his stomach, a fiery, hot medicinal power surged throughout Luo Cheng’s body.
Luo Cheng immediately discarded any distracting thoughts and focused on cultivating the True Dragon Technique.
Several days passed again.
Luo Cheng had completely refined the medicinal power of the Primordial Spirit Fruit Elixir Pill.
However, the True Dragon Technique was still stuck at the fifth level. The dragon energy in his Dantian was transforming very slowly, with no signs of completing the sixth transformation anytime soon.
"Too slow! At this pace, I’m afraid even after another month, the True Dragon Technique won’t break through to the sixth level!"
Luo Cheng frowned deeply, reminiscing about the days of the Green Cloud Trial.
During the Green Cloud Trial, the True Dragon Technique broke through two realms in just one day!
"It seems that only by devouring Beast Soul Martial Souls can the True Dragon Technique level up quickly!"
The thought flashed through his mind, and Luo Cheng had the idea of going out to train.
Servant disciples must stay within the sect, and going out requires approval from an Outer Elder.
Outer Disciples have a lot of freedom; they can enter and leave the sect at will, but they must complete one sect task each month.
"Oh right, I haven’t completed my sect task for this month yet. I might as well find a suitable sect task and kill two birds with one stone!"
With the decision made, Luo Cheng immediately locked the courtyard gate and headed to the Outer Sect Mission Hall.
The Mission Hall is located at the rear side of the Martial Arts Square, where Outer Disciples accept and exchange sect tasks.
"If only there were a mission to exterminate a bandit camp!"
Walking on the road, Luo Cheng contemplated what task to take.
Devouring Martial Souls allows the True Dragon Technique to break through the fastest!
His first choice is extermination missions, followed by hunting Demon Beasts! 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
"Hey, isn’t that Luo Cheng, the one who became the talk of the town after taking first place in this year’s Green Cloud Trial?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded from the front.
Four Outer Disciples were approaching along the road.
The four of them had bright eyes, their temples slightly bulging, suggesting they were at least of the Transcendence Realm Fifth Layer, with two of them being Sixth Layer Martial Artists!
"Luo Cheng? Is he the one challenging Yan Qi?"
A somewhat tall and thin young man in embroidered clothes glanced at Luo Cheng, a gleam flashing in his eyes.
"Indeed, it’s him! He actively challenged Brother Yan Qi, and in two months, they’ll settle it on the Martial Arts Square in a life-and-death battle!"
"He’s barely been seen this month; I thought he was in seclusion training, ready to make a stunning impact, but it seems he’s still stuck at the Transcendence Realm Fifth Layer with no progress at all!"
"And with that, he dares to challenge Brother Yan Qi! I’m afraid once he steps onto the stage, he’ll be killed with one punch!"
As a martial artist of the Tongxuan Realm and a member of the Crown Prince Hall, Yan Qi had a bit of a reputation among the Outer Sect.
The news of Luo Cheng challenging Yan Qi had long since spread throughout the entire Outer Sect.
Luo Cheng didn’t want to deal with the four and prepared to leave.
At this moment, the tall and thin young man stepped forward to block Luo Cheng’s path.
Luo Cheng frowned slightly, looking coldly at the man in front of him: "You’re in the way, move aside!"
A smile appeared on the tall and thin young man’s face as he spread his legs and said with a grin:
"You want to pass? Fine, crawl under me."
The other three burst into laughter, standing aside as if ready to enjoy the show.
The tall and thin young man was named Su Qing, a friend of Yan Qi’s, and he was at the peak of the Transcendence Realm Sixth Layer.
His actions were clearly intended to humiliate Luo Cheng.
Luo Cheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze icy:
"I’m counting to three, if you don’t move, you’ll bear the consequences! One!"
Su Qing was unconcerned and laughed contemptuously: "So what if you count to thirty? Today, either crawl over or hand over all your wealth! I heard you won thousands of Essence Energy Pills; such wealth is not meant for a waste like you!"
"Hand over the Essence Energy Pills obediently, and I might spare your life!"
Su Qing wasn’t just standing up for Yan Qi; he was coveting the thousands of Essence Energy Pills Luo Cheng possessed!
"Three!"
Luo Cheng stepped forward and threw a punch.
"Reckless fool! Do you think everyone is as useless as Sha Qi? Since you seek death, I’ll oblige!"
Su Qing scoffed, directly striking back with a palm against Luo Cheng’s punch.
Boom!
Ah!
As fist and palm collided, Su Qing was instantly sent flying, screaming, coughing up blood mixed with internal organs in mid-air, creating a massive crater upon impact with the ground.
Joking aside, Luo Cheng’s casual punch now carried a force of ninety-five thousand pounds!
How could a Transcendence Realm Sixth Layer Martial Artist withstand it just like that!
"What about you guys?"
Luo Cheng’s gaze swept to the other three, full of murderous intent.
Now being a Direct Disciple of Elder Chen Xuan, if these people were foolish, what harm was there in killing them!
All three shivered, quickly turned pale, and stepped aside, not daring to meet Luo Cheng’s gaze.
"Useless!"
Coldly tossing out a word, Luo Cheng strode away.
Not until Luo Cheng had walked far did the three dare to lift their heads, each clenching their fists, faces ashen with shame and anger.
Being insulted face-to-face by a so-called waste who awakened a Wasted Martial Soul was the greatest disgrace of their lives!
One person gritted his teeth and said:
"Don’t worry, he won’t be smug for long! No matter how he struts around in the Transcendence Realm, he’s nothing compared to Brother Yan Qi! In two months, it’ll be his death day!"
"Indeed, offending the Crown Prince Hall, he’s dead meat!"
The three desperately belittled Luo Cheng, trying to balance the shame in their hearts.
