Chapter 367 - Competition for the Cultivation Chamber

The price was something ninety-nine percent of outer disciples couldn't afford. No wonder there wasn't even a shadow around this cultivation chamber.

It wasn't because they didn't want to use it, but because they couldn't afford it. It would take them six months to earn five hundred points, not to mention that they still had to exchange for resources to cultivate. As a result, they could only use ordinary cultivation chambers.

They couldn't afford it, but that didn't mean Liu Wuxie wasn't qualified. He took out his medal and inserted it into the slot.

The stone gate slowly opened with terrifying spiritual energy gushing out, alarming everyone in the surroundings.

"What is he trying to do?" People soon gathered from the surroundings and didn't know who Liu Wuxie was. Only about one hundred people were in the Mission Hall the previous, while there were tens of thousands of outer disciples. It was natural they hadn't seen Liu Wuxie before.

"He's bold to occupy the black cultivation chamber. Doesn't he know that a select few have always reserved it and are the only ones qualified to use it in turns?" Many powerful individuals were among the outer disciples, and the six peaks had exceptionally talented disciples. These were the ones who typically shared the black cultivation chamber.

"I remember it's Senior Brother Duan Hong's turn today. He's notorious for being ruthless. This kid is courting death to dare snatch his spot."

Today was Duan Hong's turn to use the black cultivation chamber, but he hadn't arrived yet.

"His name is Liu Wuxie. Do you all remember what happened in the Mission Hall yesterday? He's the one who obtained 38,400 points at once." Someone recognized Liu Wuxie.

Upon hearing that, a commotion broke out in the surroundings, with many people directing malicious gazes at Liu Wuxie.

"It's him? This is a great opportunity!" A youth walked towards Liu Wuxie with a cold smirk. He hadn't gone to Liu Wuxie's courtyard last night, so he didn't know what had happened. Even if he had, he wouldn't have considered Liu Wuxie a threat.

After all, Liu Wuxie had relied on a spiritual array to trap everyone, and he couldn't set up a spiritual array now.

The youth approached Liu Wuxie with a cruel smile, not expecting such fortune to fall into his lap today. With a sinister expression, he said, "Brat, my name is Gong Pengtian. Hand over all your points and kneel. I might consider letting you off easy if you become my lackey."

Many people gathered in the surroundings, but he had the highest cultivation in the ninth level of the True Core Realm. The others didn't dare to step forward because there was an example of Wang Tie, who Liu Wuxie had crippled with one kick.

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Liu Wuxie's eyes, and he was losing his patience because these people didn’t know when to give up. Did they think he was a pushover?

"Get lost!" Liu Wuxie snapped, not in the mood to fight. The cultivation chamber was already open, and he didn't want to waste his time on someone insignificant.

"You're courting death!" Gong Pengtian roared, furious at being disregarded by Liu Wuxie, and didn't hesitate to throw a punch. It was common to see the strong pick on the weak and rob their points in this area. After all, with enough stolen points, they could extend their use of the cultivation chamber.

"You're the one courting death!" Liu Wuxie was enraged and shot out like an arrow, performing a palm strike on Gong Pengtian's chest. The trajectory of his attack was tricky, catching Gong Pengtian off guard, and it was too late for him to retreat.

Liu Wuxie might've concealed his cultivation in the sixth level of the True Core Realm, but that didn't mean his strength was limited to the sixth level. Even someone in the fifth-level Heavenly Dipper Realm would only die when facing him.

"What speed! How did he train his movement technique to this level?" Exclamations came from the surroundings, and they were shocked by Liu Wuxie's speed. This speed was unattainable by ordinary experts in the True Core Realm.

Before anyone could blink, Liu Wuxie's palm struck Gong Pengtian’s chest, staining his clothes red with blood and sending him flying.

Gong Pengtian spat out blood mid-air and flew twenty meters before crashing to the ground. The impact left him dizzy and disoriented.

He felt the threat of death at that moment, and he thought he had died when Liu Wuxie's palm struck his chest. But it was weird because he couldn't find any injuries after falling.

"Liu Wuxie, you crippled my cultivation?!" Gong Pengtian wasn't injured, but his dantian was shattered.

This was the best option for Liu Wuxie since killing in the sect was forbidden. Even if the sect questioned him, he could say he was merely acting in self-defense when someone attacked him out of nowhere.

Gasps of shock echoed from the surroundings. Everyone was stunned by Liu Wuxie's swift and powerful action. It was astonishing that even someone in the ninth level of the True Core Realm couldn't withstand a single blow from him.

People hurriedly withdrew, wary of getting entangled in the situation.

"How is this possible? How could he be so strong when his cultivation is only in the sixth level of the True Core Realm?" Everyone wondered and couldn't fathom why Liu Wuxie was so formidable.

"Did he conceal his true cultivation?" Speculations arose from the surroundings, but there was yet to be a definitive answer. Liu Wuxie also ignored them and turned towards the cultivation chamber.

Right then, a group of people came from the distance. The leader of this group was treated like a revered figure, and praises echoed from the surroundings upon his arrival.

"Senior Brother Duan Hong will reach the second level of the Heavenly Dipper Realm with this breakthrough. He will shine brightly and take the first place in the upcoming competition."

Even those following behind Duan Hong had formidable cultivation, but they were mere lackeys in front of Duan Hong, singing his praises.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Even if Senior Brother Duan Hong can't reach the second-level Heavenly Dipper Realm, he will still take the first place." Someone came out to retort.

Many disciples participated in the annual competition, and Duan Hong had reached the Heavenly Dipper Realm a few months ago. He was holding back for the competition, choosing not to advance to the inner sect just yet. After all, there would be no immediate benefits in advancing now.

If he could achieve a good ranking in the competition, it would bring him substantial rewards. Therefore, waiting for a few more months was worth it for him. Many disciples from the six peaks shared the same mindset and chose to stay in the outer sect even after reaching the Heavenly Dipper Realm.

"Senior Brother Duan Hong, your cultivation chamber was occupied by someone else!" A figure ran over, gasping for his breath.

"Who dares to occupy Senior Brother Duan Hong's cultivation chamber?" The lackeys behind Duan Hong roared. The experts among outer disciples had already agreed upon the black cultivation chamber, and there was a schedule for it. That had always been the case for the past year, and there were hardly any cases of someone else occupying the chamber.

They initially brushed it off as a joke upon hearing someone else had occupied the black cultivation chamber. However, when they saw Liu Wuxie walking towards the cultivation chamber, they realized it was no joke at all.

"You dare?!" Duan Hong vanished and descended like an eagle, charging towards Liu Wuxie. Twenty days were left until the competition, and Duan Hong couldn't afford to miss this turn to use the black cultivation chamber.

Some geniuses had already reached the second-level Heavenly Dipper Realm while he was still at the first level. His hope of reaching the second level would be dashed if he missed this chance to use the black cultivation chamber. This was why he couldn't let Liu Wuxie occupy it instead.

Just as Liu Wuxie was about to enter the cultivation chamber, a blazing wave of energy swept toward him, nearly knocking him off balance. Duan Hong's timing seemed too coincidental, which furrowed Liu Wuxie's brow in suspicion.

If Duan Hong had arrived slightly later, Liu Wuxie would have entered the cultivation chamber, and there was nothing Duan Hong could do about it. Once closed, the cultivation chamber would be shut off from the inside.

"Get lost!" Liu Wuxie was enraged. He only wanted to cultivate without any disturbance, but these people kept jumping out at him like flies. First, it was Gong Pengtian, and now it was Duan Hong.

Raising his hand, Liu Wuxie unleashed a powerful wave that formed into a powerful gale to block Duan Hong's energy. When the two opposing energies collided, it formed a dark cloud that soared into the sky.

A powerful shockwave swept out within a radius of a few thousand meters. Duan Hong performed a somersault and landed on the ground, taking a few steps back before stabilizing himself.

"This..." The crowd was shocked to see Liu Wuxie only taking one step back when facing Duan Hong's attack.

"How shocking for someone in the True Core Realm to withstand an attack from the Heavenly Dipper Realm and come out unscathed. Is he a monster?" Everyone still looked shocked.

Duan Hong's face was terrifyingly grim. He might not have used his full strength, but he was confident of killing any cultivator in the ninth-level True Core Realm with that strike. He had attacked to kill Liu Wuxie in a fit of rage, but he was forced back instead.

This humiliated Duan Hong. He was in the Heavenly Dipper Realm with a noble status in the outer sect. Everyone had to respect him, and no one dared oppose him.

What Liu Wuxie did was no different from a slap to his face. When he landed on the ground, he didn't leave and walked towards Liu Wuxie, his murderous intent growing with each step.

"Kid, if you step into that cultivation chamber today, I'll make you regret ever setting foot in this world!" Duan Hong's voice carried a threat as he stood a short distance from Liu Wuxie, who hovered at the entrance of the cultivation chamber. Once Liu Wuxie stepped inside, not even the sect master of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion could open it from the outside.

He was trying to force Liu Wuxie to give up the black cultivation chamber with threats.

The lackeys behind Duan Hong also stepped forward. One of them even pointed at Liu Wuxie and yelled, "Liu Wuxie, why are you everywhere? Get lost and hand the cultivation chamber to Senior Brother Duan Hong!"

The voice belonged to Su Ji, who had been holding a deep grudge against Liu Wuxie ever since he had lost all his spirit stones to Liu Wuxie in the Book Collection Hall. It was surprising that he was Duan Hong's lackey.
