Chapter 292: Family Competition and Various Geniuses
During the continuous practice, he found that he was not as good as when he practiced martial arts, and his progress in practicing spiritual arts was also very slow!
He sighed secretly.
Originally he wanted to practice his spiritual arts to perfection, but now it seems like he is just dreaming.
"Practicing doesn't work, practicing spiritual arts doesn't work either, what should I do now?"
"Wait till you die of old age?"
The time-traveling body sighed silently again.
Unwilling to give up, he practiced spiritual arts tirelessly for a whole day.
Afterwards, he was surprised to discover that although the progress of practicing spiritual arts was slow, it did not mean that the effects were invisible!
Compared to the speed of absorbing spiritual energy, which has not changed at all, the speed when practicing spiritual arts, although not as terrifying as when practicing martial arts, seems to be about one tenth of the speed!
This is the result he discovered after a day of practice!
Every once in a while when practicing spiritual arts, he would have the same insights as when practicing martial arts, thus speeding up his spiritual arts practice!
It was as if his abnormal aptitude for martial arts had been mostly invalidated, but due to his extraordinary talent, a little bit of it still remained.
It's like knowing one thing can lead to knowing everything. If you master martial arts, even if you can't practice Taoism, you can still understand something.
He was surprised and delighted here, and Su Qi, who was high in the sky, was also very surprised.
"I didn't expect that the reincarnation of the Martial Saint would still have some effect. I thought it would be completely ineffective?"
"Sure enough, it is worthy of being called a golden talent. It is indeed amazing. Even if it does not involve cultivating immortals, it can still play a role!"
"It's just a pity that cultivating immortality and practicing Qi seems to have no effect because it involves spiritual roots..."
He was lost in thought here for about ten minutes when a voice suddenly came from outside the small courtyard.
"Is Zhang Yun here?"
When the time traveler heard the name Zhang Yun, he was slightly stunned, and it took him a while to realize that it was him he was talking about.
If he remembered correctly, the original owner of the body he traveled through was called Lin Yun. It was normal for him to change his name after entering the Zhang family.
After calming himself down, he replied, "Yes, what's up?"
As he said this, he was about to walk out of the formation restriction.
But before he could leave, after hearing his answer, a voice outside said, "I'm here to inform you that the monthly family competition among the younger generations will begin tomorrow. Remember to participate."
The traversing body walked out of the restriction and saw the person who was talking. It turned out to be a handsome man in his twenties, with a tall figure and dressed in black.
Seeing him coming out, Zhang Pu explained with a smile, "Little brother Zhang Yun, everyone who wins the top ten in the family competition will receive a lot of training material rewards, remember to participate!"
"Even if we can't make it into the top ten, the family will give each junior a reward for participating. It's a Spiritual Essence Pill, which can speed up the speed of cultivation!"
"Okay, I still have to inform the others so I'll leave first."
Having said that, he waved his hand and hurried off to other places.
The time-traveling body was stunned and fell into deep thought.
"Family kid?"
Needless to say, this is something you must go and see.
Not to mention seeing what the so-called Xiaobi is, some of the same clansmen in the family also need to recognize it.
[Day 60: You participated in the family competition.]
In the early morning, the morning light shines on Fengling Valley, a light white mist spreads everywhere, and a sense of mystery fills the air.
The time-traveling body walked to the place where the family competition was held. As soon as he arrived there, he was surprised by the lively environment and the spacious venue.
I saw that the area in front of me was over a thousand meters, and there were gray-white arenas scattered all over the venue.
At this moment, the place is already filled with densely packed members of the Zhang family. A rough estimate is that there are at least several thousand people, and the number of time travelers is incalculable.
Noisy sounds continued to come from the crowd.
And high in the sky, you can even see dozens of people flying in the air.
They either ride on gourds, flying swords, discs, or fly in the air.
"These must be the foundation-building stage, right?"
There was a look of longing in the eyes of the time traveler.
If only one day he could...
It's a pity that his talent for cultivating immortals is limited. Alas, I don't know if he can cultivate to the foundation-building stage when he gets old. I hope he can. Alas...
Apart from the immortal cultivators in the foundation-building stage, he didn't see any suspected legendary Jindan ancestors, and he didn't know whether they didn't come.
After observing the situation, the traversing body walked in one direction to draw the lottery for the arena.
Soon, he came back with a bamboo stick, and on it was written Ring Number 34.
At this time, he walked into the crowd, ready to watch other people's fight first.
However, just as he approached the crowd, he heard a burst of exclamations from the crowd.
"Look, it's Zhang Jiankun!"
The traversing body looked intently.
A tall, masculine young man with a stubble on his face was walking slowly towards them from a distance, carrying a long sword on his back.
At this time, the discussions around him made him understand the situation.
Not far from the time-traveling body, a young man said admiringly, "Qingyang Sword Zhang Jiankun, one of the top ten geniuses of the younger generation!"
"At only 21 years old, he has reached the seventh level of the late Qi training stage! He has also mastered a trace of the sword realm that can only be mastered by cultivators in the foundation building stage. It's amazing!"
Voices of worship appeared all around.
"Yeah, I really don't know how he trained. He is so talented. Apart from the other nine geniuses of the same name, I guess no one in the younger generation can be his opponent!"
Listening to their discussion, the time traveler gradually understood some things.
For example, only young people under the age of 22 can participate in the small competition, and the top ten geniuses of the younger generation are also under the age of 22, and except for one, the others have reached the late stage of Qi training, which is above the seventh level!
It can be said that they are the ten people among the current younger generation who are most likely to be promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage!
As for the sword realm they mentioned, it is something that is realized after long-term training. It is mysterious and can only be understood but not described. It can greatly enhance the power of moves and spiritual arts!
In addition to the artistic conception of sword, there is also the artistic conception of fist, the artistic conception of water, the artistic conception of fire and so on.
As for artistic conception, it is basically something that can only be formally mastered after building a solid foundation. However, almost every one of those ten people has mastered the artistic conception in advance. They are extremely talented!
Looking at the indifferent expression of Qingyang Sword, the time-traveling body sighed secretly.
Comparing yourself with others will make you feel nauseous. Compared with the other party's aptitude for cultivating immortals, he is really a loser!
The more he understood, the more he felt the gap in talent between cultivators, which made him feel desperate.
Afterwards, he was fortunate enough to watch a fight between Zhang Jiankun, the master of Qingyang Sword. He saw the opponent draw out the green sword behind him and defeated his opponent in just a few moves. It seemed that he still had some strength left!
After watching only a few shows, it was soon his turn, and he appeared with a shout.
"Ring number 34, Zhang Yun, come quickly!"
The time-traveling body turned around and saw a man in his thirties standing on the No. 34 ring. He was the one who was shouting just now.
In addition to him, there was also a handsome young man standing on the ring, who was obviously the next opponent.
The time-traveling body didn't think much and walked towards the No. 34 ring.
As he walked, all eyes were focused on him.
Although there were many battles going on, some people couldn't help but cast curious glances at him when they saw this stranger.
"who is he?"
"Hey, why do you look familiar?"
Soon, someone recognized him and told others about it, making everyone suddenly realize what was going on.
"Is he the tribesman from more than 20 days ago?"
"The five elements of mixed spiritual roots and the special physique of martial arts training?"
"How pitiful..."
Because of the incident of the Five Elements Mixed Spiritual Roots, quite a few people knew about him. For a while, there were many voices discussing him at the scene, and even a few Foundation Establishment cultivators in the sky turned their eyes to him.
Countless people looked at him with pity.
Looking at him going up on the stage, the thin young man with delicate features that were almost beautiful couldn't help but smile.
"It's you."
After saying that, Zhang Jiawen added, "Don't worry, I will show mercy next time!"
The audience around the ring were not surprised when they heard this, and they thought it was normal.
Because, this is not just bragging!
Although this young man's cultivation is weak, he is only at the third level of Qi training, but he is still comparable to Zhang Yun who has just broken through to the second level of Qi training!
"Are you ready? Why do I yell 'start' when you're ready?"
On the arena that was more than ten meters wide, the middle-aged man who was making the referee shouted.
The time-traveling entity and Zhang Jiawen nodded in unison.
"start!"
After the order was given, the handsome young man on the opposite side immediately took action, "Fireball!"
With a bang, a red fireball the size of a head appeared and smashed straight towards the traveling body.
"Water Arrow Technique!"
A blue water arrow shot out and hit the fireball directly.
When the two collided, under the intense high temperature, the water arrow was instantly evaporated into water vapor, and mist was lingering.
The fireball dimmed and shrank a lot, and the water arrow technique disappeared!
Although Zhang Jiawen's face was a little pale, he now showed a smile and a look of confidence in victory on his face.
Winner!
How can I fight against an opponent who is only at the second level of Qi training and can only perform spiritual arts once?
The fact was just as he thought. The spiritual energy in the body had been used up by the time traveling body. His face turned pale, and it was obvious that he had been drained.
However, just when he and the people around him thought he was sure to win, the time traveler used other moves.
"There's nothing I can do!"
The traveling body sighed secretly, mobilized the rich internal energy in the body, and struck out with a palm strike fiercely.
The internal energy formed a giant handprint and hit the fireball directly!
With a bang, both of them were annihilated together!
This scene surprised Zhang Jiawen and the people around him.
“Such a strong internal energy!”
"Mortal martial arts?"
Zhang Jiawen felt something was wrong in his heart, and said in surprise, "I didn't expect that your mortal martial arts have reached this level. You are indeed a person with a special physique!"
After he finished speaking, he paused and added, "But if you think you can beat me like this, you are too naive!"
As he spoke, he suppressed his uneasiness and used another spiritual technique.
"Fire Snake Technique!"
A fire snake rushed straight towards the body.
The face of the time-traveling body was solemn. He felt a strong threat from the fire snake. It was obvious that if he was hit, he would be seriously injured if not killed .
After an internal energy hand print was sent out, although the fire snake easily pierced through the hand print, it still slowed down its speed.
The time-traveling body found an opportunity and immediately used his lightness skills to move towards the handsome young man.
The figure flashed quickly across the ring!
Zhang Jiawen was shocked and quickly used the Fire Spirit Shield.
A huge flaming shield blocked in front of him.
With a loud bang, the palm wrapped in internal energy hit it, but it only splashed some ripples!
"Is this the difference between spiritual arts and mortal martial arts?"
The time traveler was shocked and felt for the first time the gap and powerlessness between mortals and immortals.
The innate great perfection that ordinary people can only achieve after practicing until death, can be firmly suppressed by immortal cultivators with just three levels of Qi training!
The most obvious difference is that ordinary people have to practice martial arts until death, while those with outstanding spiritual roots can reach the third level of Qi training in less than a month!
The time-traveling body sighed secretly.
However, he was not too discouraged. After all, he was now also a cultivator.
Looking at the pale and handsome young man behind the fire shield, he became alert and immediately cheered up.
At the same time, he also thought of a way to deal with it.
Although the third-level Qi training spiritual arts firmly suppressed him, the attack speed did not exceed his dodge limit, and the number was not large, that is to say, as long as...
drag!
Sure enough, as he kept dodging, the handsome young man used spiritual techniques twice more, and then he squatted down and gasped weakly, and was directly drained of energy by the spiritual techniques.
Without any surprise, he won the competition!
After the judge's announcement, the immortal cultivators around the arena couldn't help but look at him in surprise.
"I didn't expect to win?"
"It seems that mortal martial arts also have their merits."
Of course, although many cultivators have changed their views on martial arts a little, they still do not pay too much attention to it.
After all, if they were not mistaken, this young boy named Zhang Yun from their Zhang family was definitely a martial arts genius that was rarely seen among mortals in a thousand years!
His martial arts have reached the innate great perfection, which is the pinnacle of mortal martial arts, and his internal energy is extremely profound!
Even he could only barely defeat Zhang Jiawen, who was only at the third level of Qi training. How could those mortal trash possibly defeat them, the immortal cultivators?
Not to mention, this is only the third level of Qi training, which is the earliest stage of Qi training. The fourth level of Qi training, which is the middle stage of Qi training, has a level of strength that is incomparable to that of the early stage of Qi training!
By then, not only will the power and speed of spiritual arts increase greatly, but even the number of times they can be cast will double. How can mortal martial artists fight against them then?
On the ring, after Zhang Jiawen caught his breath, he looked at the young man in front of him and couldn't help but reveal some admiration on his face.
He reminded, "You won, but you have to be careful. Those people in the middle stage of Qi training are different from me. You definitely can't beat them with your martial arts!"
The time-traveling being nodded upon hearing this.
After shaking hands, the two men left the stage.
The people on the ring changed and the fight continued. About half an hour later, it was the time traveler's turn again.
However, when the time-traveling body stood on the ring and when the opponent appeared, a cry of surprise immediately occurred.
"It's Qingyang Sword Zhang Jiankun!"
"This young man is really unlucky. He is finished..."
