Chapter 13: Sparring in the Mind
After losing consciousness, Chen Li didn't know what happened to him. In a daze, he found himself lying on a ring.
This arena was where he and Zhao Bin had fought before.
To his surprise, there was no one in this place, and everything around him seemed unreal.
"What's going on?" Chen Li planned to step down, but was stopped by an unknown force.
At this moment, Chen Li felt a chill coming from behind him.
He turned around suddenly and found that a black aura was gradually condensing.
It was not until this thing gradually condensed that Chen Li was surprised to find that it was Zhao Bin.
what happened?
Chen Li felt that his brain was not enough.
After losing consciousness, I woke up and was still here. The black aura just now suddenly turned into Zhao Bin.
All this is really too unreal.
At this time, Zhao Shu on the opposite side threw out a long sword and made a gesture of invitation to Chen Li.
Not Zhao Bin himself.
Chen Li looked at the guy in front of him and always felt that he was a little weird.
Taking the long sword, Chen Li laughed, "Although I don't know who you are, but if you want to practice with me, then I will fulfill your wish."
After saying that, Chen Li suddenly slashed forward with a sword energy.
Zhao Bin's shadow flashed by, and he stabbed Chen Li's heart with a sword.
Chen Li widened his eyes.
That sword move was clearly Lei Tianyi's sword move.
In other words, this is my own consciousness space?
He found that although the sword had pierced his heart, not a drop of blood flowed out and he did not feel any pain.
Zhao Bin's shadow directly put away the sword, then stood in the original place, and re-positioned himself, as if waiting for Chen Li to take action.
Chen Li stared at the shadow of Zhao Bin in front of him, his expression gradually becoming serious.
This is a great opportunity to learn the Thunder Sword, and there is no way he would miss such a good opportunity.
Chen Li launched an attack again, but the result was still a sword piercing his heart.
"Come again." Chen Like was unwilling to be frustrated like this, so he launched attacks one after another.
As the number of attacks increased, Chen Li became a little tired, but he was killed by the opponent with one sword every time.
After so many times of training, he had mastered the moves of that one move, but the opponent had more than just that one move.
After figuring out the first move, the opponent will use the second move, which makes it almost impossible for Chen Li to dodge.
"I don't believe it." Chen Li raised his sword and continued to rush forward, determined to defeat the opponent.
At the same time, in the outside world.
Almost a month has passed since the sect conference.
Chen Li has been in a coma since that incident.
At the Nanli Sect's outer sect elders meeting, several elders were sitting there discussing something.
"Everyone, what do you think about Chen Li's matter?" Lei Yuntian asked, stroking his beard and staring at the people present.
Jiang Yunya said calmly: "His strength has surpassed that of most outer disciples, so it is natural for him to become an outer disciple again."
"But do you really think that Chen Li is willing to stay in the outer sect?" Wu Qingren asked slowly.
Many elders suddenly fell silent.
Everyone has witnessed Chen Li's strength. In the outer sect, even the strongest outer sect disciple Zhao Bin was beaten into that state by Chen Li. I'm afraid that this small outer sect cannot accommodate a giant like him.
"Elder Wu, are you planning to recommend him to the inner sect?" Jiang Yunya asked.
Wu Qingren sighed. To be honest , he didn't know what to do now.
"The quota for inner disciples this year has been filled. Even if we want to recommend Chen Li to the inner sect, I'm afraid we won't have a chance." Lei Yuntian breathed a sigh of relief. Such a good seedling could not even enter the inner sect. It was simply their dereliction of duty.
Inner disciples are not comparable to outer disciples.
There are many restrictions to becoming an inner disciple. First, one must reach the foundation-building stage and have a recommendation from an elder.
This alone is not enough to enter the inner gate, you must also take the assessment. Only after passing the assessment can you enter the inner gate.
If one has outstanding talents, he can naturally participate in the assessment directly without being restricted by cultivation level.
For example, Bai Xueyin, as a talented swordsman, her talent has long been noticed by the inner sect elders. As long as she can pass the assessment, she will be able to enter the inner sect directly.
There are only two places for outer disciples every year, and this year's two places have already been given to Zhao Bin and Bai Xueyin, so they are helpless about this.
"Maybe, there is another way." Wu Qingren touched his chin, as if he had thought of something.
Jiang Yunya and the others were stunned for a moment, "You don't mean that person, do you?"
"That guy has a weird personality. Will he really agree to the request?" Lei Yuntian asked.
Wu Qingren replied: "Given Chen Li's talent , if we don't recruit him as soon as possible, I'm afraid he will choose to leave Nanli Sect in the near future."
The outer sect of Nanli Sect was originally meant to provide talented disciples to the inner sect, so they were allowed to fight and kill each other privately.
As long as the fight is not done openly, these outer sect elders will hardly take any action.
They also suffered a loss by letting a talented disciple leave Nanli Sect.
"Let's put this matter aside for now. We still have another thing to do." Jiang Yunya said, stroking his beard.
"It's an outer sect trial? I don't know how many disciples can survive this time." Wu Qingren sighed.
Afterwards, the elders continued to discuss.
Zhao Bin's master, outer sect elder Hong Mingyang, did not choose to attend the meeting from beginning to end, otherwise this meeting would not have been so harmonious.
Time passed little by little, and Chen Li was still in a coma.
In his consciousness, Chen Li was breathing heavily, the sword was flashing like a shadow, and every move was extremely fast.
He no longer knew how many times he had fought against the phantom of Zhao Bin in front of him, but he had now almost completely understood the opponent's attacks and even applied them to his own attacks.
In the first few battles, the opponent killed Chen Li instantly with one sword, but in the current battle, Chen Li almost completely took the lead in attacking, and Zhao Bin's phantom also gradually changed from attacking to defending.
Phew!
Chen Li suddenly stabbed a sword into the heart of Zhao Bin's phantom.
Seeing the other person's figure gradually disappearing, Chen Li breathed heavily.
"Does this count as a success?" Chen Li sat on the ground, looking at the empty arena, talking to himself.
At this moment, Chen Li felt that the things in front of his eyes were becoming more and more blurry. Before he could react, his eyes suddenly went dark and crackling sounds came from his body, which made him come back to his senses.
When he came to his senses, he found himself lying in a house.
This house was different from the thatched hut he had lived in before. It was surrounded by pure spiritual energy, and he could also sense that there were several disciples guarding outside.
This kind of scene really surprised Chen Li.
It turns out that strength is the bottom line. Only by improving your strength can you win the respect of others.
Chen Li moved his body slightly and found that he was much lighter than before.
The previous battle in the consciousness space is still vivid in my mind.
It seems that I still need to strengthen and consolidate this set of sword moves.
When Chen Li walked out of the room, the two disciples were extremely respectful when they saw Chen Li: "Brother Chen."
"Well, how long have I slept?" Chen Li nodded and asked them.
A disciple quickly replied, "Brother Chen, it has been exactly one month since you lost consciousness."
Chen Li was a little surprised that he had been fighting with that thing in that space for such a long time.
"By the way, Elder Wu instructed that you should go to his cave to find him after you wake up." Another disciple also said quickly.
Elder Wu.
Chen Li thought to himself and was actually quite happy .
If it weren't for Elder Wu, he wouldn't have been able to achieve what he has today.
Although he was demoted to a menial servant by Elder Wu, if it weren't for him, he would have been kicked out and wouldn't even be able to get the spirit stones.
So I have to go over and thank him this time.
Chen Li didn't think much about it and disappeared from their sight at an extremely fast speed.
The two disciples were a little surprised that Chen Li's speed was so fast.
Chen Li didn't expect that his speed would be so fast.
This is already many times faster than before.
boom!
Because he was in a daze, his body hit a big rock.
To Chen Li's surprise, the other person was fine, and the big rock turned directly into a pile of rubble.
Feeling the power in his body, Chen Li was even more shocked.
Breakthrough!
Chen Li's cultivation had obviously reached the ninth level of Qi training, and he was only one step away from the foundation-building stage.
It is very difficult to become a foundation-building cultivator. Not only does one need the assistance of elixirs, but one even needs to find a cave where one will not be disturbed.
And there is a chance of failure.
However, Chen Li would not give up. Since there was a chance of failure, he would keep breaking through until he succeeded.
Thinking in his heart, he clenched his fists tightly and then disappeared here.
Outside a luxurious house, Chen Li called out respectfully, "Disciple Chen Li, I have come to visit Elder Wu."
Soon, a calm voice came from inside the house: "Come in."
Chen Li slowly walked into the house.
Wu Qingren had already brewed the spiritual tea and said to Chen Li, "Sit down."
Chen Li nodded, then sat down and asked respectfully, "Is there anything Elder Wu wants to talk to me about?"
Wu Qingren slowly took out a waist badge and a white garment and placed them on the table. "From now on, you will officially become an outer sect disciple."
"Thank you, Elder Wu." Chen Li was a little excited. He knelt on the ground and thanked Elder Wu.
After I become an outer disciple, the You family will no longer act rashly against my family members.
Elder Wu waved his hand and asked the kneeling Chen Li to stand up immediately.
"Chen Li, although you have become an outer disciple again, you still have to complete another task." As he said that, Elder Wu took out another token and handed it to him.
Chen Li nodded. He knew the rules.
After becoming an outer disciple, one must accept the task of killing monsters, so that one can officially become an outer disciple.
The strength or weakness of the monsters is determined by the mood of the elders.
Chen Li didn't care, but instead dripped his blood into it. Then a consciousness was transmitted into Chen Li's mind.
Youlin City, Monster Mountain Range, Soul-Eating Spider.
All kinds of information echoed in Chen Li's mind, and he nodded, "I will definitely complete the mission successfully."
"Go." Wu Qingren waved his hand and said nothing.
Chen Li nodded, then stood up and left.
Youlin City? It’s a good opportunity to go home and at least see how my relatives are doing.
