Chapter 25

The place to receive the rewards was in a huge courtyard. The courtyard was very large, and there were many pavilions, all of which were several stories high.

Here, one could exchange contribution points for other things, such as medicinal pills, battle skills, weapons, and so on.

When Zi Chen arrived, there were already more than ten people gathered here. Some of them were inner disciples who came to exchange contribution points, while others were the top ten contenders who came to receive their rewards.

Seeing Zi Chen arrive, everyone's expression changed slightly. Their faces were a little strange.

At this moment, Wu Sheng walked out. After seeing Zi Chen, the corner of his mouth curled into a sneer. He said sarcastically, "What a pity, a core disciple spot is gone just like that. So what if you're strong? Without a backer, you're not even worth a fart."

Zi Chen's eyes flashed a cold light as he stared at Wu Sheng. Miao Kong did not say anything. His expression was indifferent, as if he had already seen through everything.

"Hmph, isn't it just because you have the support of an elder? What's so great about that? Sixth Level Zhen Qi and a second-rate battle skill can't beat Zi Chen. I really don't know what gives you the right to be so arrogant. If I were you, I would have followed behind an elder to save myself from embarrassment." Lin Xue sneered and said sarcastically.

"Hmph, how dare you."

Wu Sheng's expression instantly turned gloomy. Lin Xue had touched his sore spot. Although he had successfully entered the core today, he would inevitably be ridiculed by others in the future.

"Zi Chen, the gap between us is getting bigger and bigger. You better pray sincerely that you don't fall into my hands. Otherwise, your end will be very miserable." Wu Sheng pointed his spear at Zi Chen again.

"Yes, the gap between us is getting bigger and bigger. You've already lost today. If you meet me in the future, you'll also lose. If we really have a chance to fight next time, I won't hold back. If I beat you to death, I don't know if anyone will fight with me for a spot." Zi Chen replied coldly. He then swung his sleeves and walked forward confidently.

"It's over. This guy doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He actually dared to talk back to a core disciple. He's really going to die."

"It's inevitable that he would complain about his spot being taken away. Unfortunately, the weak don't have the right to complain. Zi Chen is finished."

"Once they enter the core, they will be fully nurtured by the sect. The pills they will use are completely unknown. Until they reach the Xiantian realm, the gap between them will only grow bigger and bigger."

Discussions broke out all around, but Zi Chen could no longer hear them.

In front of Zi Chen stood a young man in white. He was an inner disciple, but Zi Chen couldn't see through his strength.

"Why is it four True Qi Dans and eight contribution points?" Zi Chen glared at the other party, his eyes filled with anger as he coldly asked.

"The reward for first place was clearly five True Qi Dans, and I was also compensated with ten contribution points. Why is it so little?"

At the side, there were many people who were watching the show.

"Brat, don't bother. This is the rule here. Senior Brother Luo Men is not obligated to give you contribution points."

"That's right. What do you think this is? A charity hall? Senior Brother Luo Men is just taking his reward."

Everyone warned. Rather than calling it a reward, it was better to call it a cut.

"I've been cheated again." Zi Chen was furious. His eyes were spitting fire as he stared at the young man in front of him.

"That's all." Luo Men lightly said.

Embezzlement had almost become a habit. Many inner disciples were aware of this, and although they were unwilling, they still accepted it. But who would have thought that Zi Chen wouldn't agree, and instead questioned him?

"If I don't get what I deserve, I will go find an elder." Zi Chen was still cold and indifferent.

Facing an elder, he could retreat. He could give up the core disciple spot. But if he was bullied by an inner disciple, then his future days would be even more difficult. He would be bullied every day.

"Zi Chen, forget it. You already have enough enemies. I'll give you the True Qi Dans." Nearby, Miao Kong sighed and whispered.

Zi Chen shook his head and firmly said, "I have to get what I deserve from him. I have many enemies, so I don't care about one more."

Luo Men's face instantly fell. His eyes flashed with a cold light. The surrounding spectators had a trace of pity in their eyes.

"This guy has been provoked today. He is like a mad dog, biting whoever he sees. Just now he bit Wu Sheng, and now he wants to bite Senior Brother Luo Men. What a pity. If he had a backer, then he would have the qualifications to be arrogant. But without a backer, no one can protect him.

"It's over. A genius is going to disappear."

Facing the surrounding discussions, Zi Chen turned a deaf ear. Whether it was fighting or perseverance, today he must get what he deserved.

"Good boy, you are ruthless." Luo Men's eyes constantly changed. Finally, he compromised.

Luo Men also gave him two contribution points and a True Qi Dan. If it was a normal situation, Luo Men would naturally not compromise, but Zi Chen was a bit special. If he went to the Elders, the Elders would naturally support him.

"What about the first-rate combat skills?" Zi Chen asked.

"Humph, wait, I'll go get them."

Luo Men sneered. He glanced at the prepared first-rate combat skills in the cabinet below. Then, he turned around and walked towards the Martial Skills Pavilion. A moment later, Luo Men returned with a secret manual.

"For you. First-rate combat skills. After three months, remember to return it. Otherwise, you will die miserably." Luo Men threw the combat skill on the table.

The surface of the secret manual emitted a faint silver light, and a mysterious energy circulated around it. When the secret manual appeared, the hall seemed to have an additional oppressive aura. The big words on the manual were like thunder, constantly flashing.

This was an extraordinary secret manual.

"This is Thunderbolt Finger."

"Oh my god, Senior Brother Luo Men actually took out Thunderbolt Finger."

Gasps could be heard from all around as they looked at Luo Men in shock.

Thunderbolt Finger was a first-rate combat skill. It was also recognized as the strongest first-rate combat skill in the Nimbus Martial Ancestor. At the same time, it was also recognized as the most useless first-rate combat skill.

This was because many years ago, it was very powerful. There had always been a rumor that it was a Xiantian combat skill. Unfortunately, it lacked the moves at the back and had become useless. Therefore, it was classified as a first-rate combat skill. However, if it was mastered, it would still be very powerful.

Unfortunately, after so many years, no one in the entire Nimbus Martial Ancestor had been able to master Thunderbolt Finger. Over time, this strongest combat skill had become the most useless combat skill.

Today, Luo Men took out this Battle Skill. It was obvious that he wanted to take revenge on Zi Chen for making him look bad.

"What a pity. For a True Qi Dan and two contribution points, he missed out on a first-rate combat skill and took back a useless combat skill."

"This time, Zi Chen has suffered a great loss."

The surrounding discussions were accompanied by cold laughter. Zi Chen was already unlucky enough, but who would have thought that there would be a problem with the combat skill. He clearly had a first-rate combat skill, but it was even worse than a third-rate combat skill.

Zi Chen heard the discussions, but he didn't show any expression. As if he was angry, he didn't even look and put away the combat skill. At the same time, Zi Chen said to Luo Men, "I have ten contribution points to exchange for four True Qi Dans and two Qi Recovery Dans."

"Humph."

Luo Men's lips curled and he sneered. After giving Zi Chen the items he wanted, Zi Chen left.

He left in a hurry, walking very fast.

In the eyes of others, Zi Chen was afraid, but Zi Chen knew that if he walked any slower, he would not be able to hold back his laughter.

Thunderbolt Finger. For others, it was a useless combat skill, but Zi Chen felt the power of lightning from it. At the same time, he also felt a sense of familiarity. The aura of the book was the same as the energy in his body.

This Battle Skill was tailor-made for people like Zi Chen, who practiced lightning-type cultivation methods.

"You guys can leave. Don't come looking for me in the future."

After Zi Chen walked out of the door, he hurriedly left. At the same time, he left Lin Xue and Miao Kong who were following closely behind him, and his figure slowly disappeared.

"You …" Seeing Zi Chen disappear, Lin Xue was angry again, her eyes red.

"He doesn't want to implicate us. In just two short days, he has offended many people." Miao Kong indifferently said.

"Then what do we do? Do we just watch him die?" Lin Xue asked.

"Besides this, we don't have a better way. The only thing we can do is to cultivate diligently and not disturb him. In the outer sect, Zi Chen handled things very calmly. Today's matter is against his character, but I think he is not an impulsive person. Maybe he already has a solution." Miao Kong said.

"What solution can he have? He can only wait for death. No, I have to go find senior sister and ask her to save Zi Chen." After saying that, Lin Xue anxiously left.

Miao Kong shook his head, sighed and muttered, "Zi Chen, I believe you will not die. Don't let me down."

After saying that, Miao Kong left.

Zi Chen hurriedly returned to his residence and closed the door.

He had just entered the inner sect. Although he had provoked some people, they would not immediately take action. Therefore, Zi Chen wanted to increase his strength before they took action.

Currently, he had the strength to fight against sixth stage true qi. Once he refined nine true qi dans, his strength would increase again. Even if he could not break through to seventh stage true qi, he would at least reach the peak of sixth stage true qi.

Sitting cross-legged, he lowered his head and calmed himself down. After that, he swallowed a true qi dan.

The Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering Art was circulating. After half a cycle, the true qi dan's energy was absorbed by his heart. A moment later, with the beating of his heart, a pure energy rushed to Zi Chen's limbs and bones.

After a quarter of an hour, Zi Chen successfully refined a true qi dan.

At the same time, the second true qi dan entered his stomach.

With the continuous infusion of true qi, the true qi dans decreased one by one. Time slowly passed. When the fifth true qi dan was completely refined, Zi Chen felt that his body had undergone another transformation.

This time, Zi Chen could clearly feel that his body had become stronger. It seemed that he had reached the limit of a sixth level vicious beast and was about to break through to the seventh level.

When the seventh true qi dan was also refined by Zi Chen, a suction force appeared on Zi Chen's body. The energy of heaven and earth in the entire room began to surge and was absorbed by Zi Chen's body.

In Abdomen, the true qi that had reached the limit once again underwent a transformation. The true qi quality became even higher. At the same time, the electric snakes in the true qi seemed to become more and more distinct.

"True qi sixth level."

By the time Zi Chen opened his eyes, he had already broken through and refined the seven True Qi Dans. Only half a day and a night had passed, nothing more.
