Chapter 16

"Lord Deacon, I should have reached the standard, right?"

Chen Yu felt diffident from his stare.

After advancing to the Meridian Opening Realm, his senses had increased. He could vaguely feel that the powerful inner breath in the middle-aged deacon's body was a level higher than his and Yuefeng's.

This person's cultivation had probably reached the peak of the Viscera Refinement Realm.

"My surname is Liu. You can call me Deacon Liu. Chen Yu, how long have you been practicing Cloudfiend Fist? "

The middle-aged deacon had a smile on his face.

Chen Yu was stunned. Why did this middle-aged deacon suddenly become so polite?

Actually, he was very casual with that punch just now. He had not used his full strength.

"About half a month."

Chen Yu could not hide it. After all, he had just obtained the secret manual for a while.

"It's only been half a month and your Cloudfiend Fist is already at the entry level?"

Deacon Liu was shocked.

Cloudfiend Fist had a high requirement for talent and there was a certain amount of danger in practicing it. Otherwise, as a branch of the sect's core cultivation technique, it would not only require so many contribution points.

To reach this level of Cloudfiend Fist in half a month, one could be considered a genius.

After a while, Deacon Liu recorded Chen Yu's information and confirmed his status as an outer sect disciple.

Then, Chen Yu received a new token and two new sets of clothes.

The token was a new identity token.

The new clothes were slightly different from the original in terms of details.

These showed that Chen Yu had truly become a member of the Yunyue Gate.

Other than confirming his official disciple status, Chen Yu had to go home for a month. He had applied for it from Deacon Liu and received permission.

After Chen Yu left.

The middle-aged deacon took out a thick book and started reading.

"When I first joined, I only had an ordinary 'Half Spiritual Body' and spent three years to break through to the Meridian Opening Realm. Strange, so strange … "

Deacon Liu was in deep thought.

Yet, with such talent, he could master the entry level of Cloudfiend Fist in half a month.

…

Walking out of the Central Hall of the Outer Sanctum, Chen Yu's head felt refreshed and he had the urge to look up to the sky and roar.

After three years, his wish had finally come true!

"However, outer disciples are the lowest members of the Sect. They don't have any status at all. Next, my goal is to enter the inner court! "

Chen Yu made up his mind.

For some reason, the scene of the slender girl's death appeared in his mind.

Slim Girl's death did not attract the attention of the Sect at all. Until now, many disciples did not know that she was dead or alive.

Outer sect disciples were too lowly!

Only by becoming an inner disciple would one be able to receive the Sect's attention, resources, and even more privileges and opportunities.

Whether it was for strength, status, or future prospects, becoming an inner disciple was a threshold that one had to cross.

The Central Hall was located at the peak of the outer sect's mountain.

When Chen Yu went down the mountain, there were also some people going up the mountain to handle some affairs.

Among them, many disciples had come to ask for leave to return home.

Thud! Thud!

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old youth in green clothes leaped up the mountain. There was a sense of lightness in his steps.

"Brother Wang!"

A few youths nearby greeted him.

This youth in green clothes had a chiseled face and could be considered handsome. There was a gentle smile on his face. It was obvious that he was quite popular in the circle.

"Hmm? It's Wang Lingyun … "

Chen Yu was going down the mountain. His gaze fell on the youth in green clothes.

These days, he had been training hard. He rarely saw Wang Lingyun and was not picked on by him.

What Chen Yu did not know was that.

Wang Lingyun had also been training hard these days.

"I've finally broken through after training hard this time. However, it's still not enough to perform well in the outer court competition. It's time to go back to the family and ask for more resources. "

Wang Lingyun calculated in his heart.

There were still two more months before the outer court competition. Recently, his thoughts were all on this.

"Brother Wang."

A faint and familiar voice came from the mountain peak.

"Hmm, okay …"

Wang Lingyun subconsciously responded. Along the way, there were many people who greeted him.

But in the next moment, he felt that something was wrong and looked up.

"Chen Yu?"

Wang Lingyun's face darkened. He found it hard to believe.

In the past, he would often pick on Chen Yu. When Chen Yu saw him, he would most likely avoid him and even be extremely vigilant.

This time, it was very unusual.

Chen Yu actually took the initiative to come over and greet him.

"Oh? I was wondering what was going on. So Chen has already advanced to the Illuminating Pulse Stage. "

Wang Lingyun's gaze swept across Chen Yu's new clothes.

After becoming an official disciple, Chen Yu changed into a new uniform. There were some slight differences in the details.

This scene naturally made Wang Lingyun's heart gloomy.

He had tried his best to kick Chen Yu out of the Sect. But in the end, he did not succeed and allowed Chen Yu to advance to the Illuminating Pulse Stage.

"I'm slow-witted. I've just advanced to the Illuminating Pulse Stage. I've disappointed Brother Wang …"

Chen Yu said with a faint smile.

"Hmph! Stop putting on an act! Don't think that you can be on equal footing with me just because you've advanced to the Illuminating Pulse Stage. "

Wang Lingyun snorted coldly.

"Is that so? I, your junior brother, would like to experience Senior Brother Wang's skills. "

Chen Yu suddenly changed the topic.

What?

Wang Lingyun almost thought that he had heard wrongly.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, Chen Yu's body swayed and he threw a punch at him.

He attacked without hesitation!

Chen Yu's sudden punch not only shocked Wang Lingyun, but some of the nearby disciples also looked as if they had seen a ghost.

Facing this scene.

After a moment of shock, Wang Lingyun's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"Iron Cloud Claw!"

Wang Lingyun pushed forward with one arm and the iron claw tore through the air. The sharp inner breath whistled and a sharp cold light could be seen.

Bam!

Chen Yu's punch with his inner breath collided with the Iron Cloud Claw.

In an instant, he felt a strong and sharp internal energy suddenly rebound, and his palm felt stiff and painful.

Hmm?

Chen Yu's first punch did not gain the upper hand.

"Eh! Middle-stage Illuminating Pulse Stage? "

Chen Yu took a light breath and calmed the Qi and blood in his body. He looked at Wang Lingyun in surprise.

Although he did not use the Murderous Cloud Fist in that punch, he did not hold back much in terms of his inner breath.

He thought that such an attack should be able to suppress early-stage Illuminating Pulse Stage.

But he did not expect Wang Lingyun to advance to mid-stage Illuminating Pulse Stage.

Compared to early-stage Illuminating Pulse Stage, the strength and richness of the inner breath were much stronger. Moreover, mid-stage Illuminating Pulse Stage expanded more meridians and his physique improved.

However.

The one who was truly shocked was Wang Lingyun.

"Did this kid really just break through Illuminating Pulse Stage? How can his inner breath be so strong! "

Wang Lingyun swayed on the spot.

He only felt a dark and overbearing aura coming at him. It was extremely strong and caused his Qi and blood to churn. He barely managed to stabilize himself.

"Haha! Again … "

Chen Yu laughed out loud when his punch did not work.

Iron Plow Fist!

This time, Chen Yu's attack was even more violent. His iron fists danced and his inner breath whistled. The air seemed to explode with pear blossoms and iron thunder.

"How did this guy become so strong!"

Wang Lingyun could only feel a torrential downpour assaulting her, and her breathing became heavy.

The inner breath from the Murderous Cloud Heart Technique and the mastery of Iron Plow Fist allowed Chen Yu's attack to reach a new level.

Peng! Peng! Pa!

In an instant, the two exchanged more than ten blows at the waist of the mountain.

Some of the nearby disciples were dumbfounded, unable to react in time.

"When did Chen Yu break through Illuminating Pulse Stage? He's actually on par with Wang Lingyun."

"Even mastery of Iron Plow Fist shouldn't be so strong."

These disciples were more shocked by Chen Yu's performance.

After all, no one would have thought that Chen Yu could master a near top-grade murderous martial art like Murderous Cloud Fist. The inner breath he condensed was better than those of the same level.

In the repeated exchanges, Wang Lingyun felt pressured.

Chen Yu did not fear him at all when they fought head on. His aura became fiercer and fiercer, and his strength was like that of a fierce beast.

Soon, thirty moves were over.

Wang Lingyun's claws felt numb and he was suppressed in the subsequent clashes.

Originally.

He wanted to rely on his mid-stage Illuminating Pulse Stage cultivation and longer meridians to slowly drag Chen Yu to death. Now, it seemed to be unrealistic.

The teenager in front of him had become so tall and mighty that he felt helpless.

He even had a feeling that Chen Yu was purposely using him to sharpen his blade.

He was not wrong to have such a feeling.

Chen Yu had just broken through Illuminating Pulse Stage and was itching to fight. Now that he met Wang Lingyun, he naturally would not let him go.

Sixty moves later.

Wang Lingyun finally changed his strategy. He no longer clashed head-on with Chen Yu. Instead, he used a movement technique and moved around.

Whoosh! Bang!

Bang! Chen Yu's next few punches mostly missed.

"Swimming Fish Movement Technique."

Wang Lingyun's body was like an agile fish, moving around Chen Yu.

Although Chen Yu's attacks were strong, his opponent did not clash head-on with him.

"This fellow has actually cultivated a mid-rank movement technique …" Chen Xi was shocked.

Chen Yu was a little surprised.

If he used his full strength, Chen Yu's strength and speed could still increase. However, his movement technique was based on technique.

It was not easy to break the movement technique when the gap was not too big.

"I can't reveal my Cloud Fiend Fist now. It's best if I can preserve some of my strength."

Chen Yu stopped his attacks.

He had the intention to fight for the 'Outer Disciple Competition' in two months.

It was not suitable for him to reveal his true strength before the competition.

Seeing that Chen Yu had stopped, Wang Lingyun heaved a sigh of relief. His forehead was already covered in sweat.

"I've experienced Brother Wang's movement technique. Let's fight again next time! "

After saying so, Chen Yu dashed down the mountain in a flash.

As they watched him leave, some of the nearby outer disciples whispered to each other in bewilderment.

"Chen Yu, with your talent, how did you improve so much? There must be some secret on you. Don't let me find the chance! "

Wang Lingyun clenched his teeth, his eyes were filled with malice.

… …

After the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, Chen Yu went down the mountain gate.

This time, he did not hire the Sect's horses but walked.

Not only did he walk, he especially looked for places with fewer people to walk.

At the foot of a remote mountain.

Chen Yu took out a secret manual from his bag. It was the Cloud Treading Steps he got from Yuefeng.

"This Cloud Treading Steps should be better than Wang Lingyun's Swimming Pisces Body Technique."

The corner of Chen Yu's mouth curled up into a smile.

The battle with Wang Lingyun just now made him realize the importance of movement techniques.

And this Cloud Treading Steps, he saw Yuefeng use it to save Slim Girl in midair and injure the Iron Brown Bear with one stomp.

Just like that.

Along the way, Chen Yu practiced Cloud Treading Steps as he hurried.

Five days later.

He finally returned to Xiangyang City, and his Cloud Treading Steps had smoothly reached the Xiaocheng stage!
