CHAPTER 254: 252, NEW MISSION - SECT GRAND COMPETITION (2/4)

The quality of this sword is actually understated. When he tried to use the Sword Control Skill to duel with the "Knife-Wielding Man," the sword easily sliced through the Knife-Wielding Man’s demon beast body, proving its superiority over Yu Mo’s Wandering Sword. It is worth noting that although the width of this sword is no more than two fingers, it weighs at least hundreds of pounds.

This reminded him of the fragile woman who, despite her shattered meridians, managed to hold onto a sword weighing several hundred pounds, which was quite remarkable.

After collecting his thoughts, Wen Ping wielded his sword and clashed with the Knife-Wielding Man.

Both the Fire Spirit Body and Sword Control Skill entered the War Intent State simultaneously. In less than a quarter of an hour, Wen Ping was about to kill the Knife-Wielding Man, who was defined as having Middle Profound Realm strength.

Later on, Wen Ping straightforwardly adjusted the Knife-Wielding Man’s power to the Upper Profound Realm.

Without using Vein Technique, relying solely on the Entry-Level Fire Spirit Body and Sword Control Skill, the battle with the Knife-Wielding Man of the Upper Profound Realm lasted a long time, with neither side gaining an advantage.

This cultivation session continued until the system informed everyone to go to the Viewing Room, at which point he emerged—almost midnight.

Facing the vast audience at the Viewing Room, Wen Ping quickly set up the viewing for them. However, he was curious as neither Luo Mi nor Hua Xiaozhu appeared.

Once everyone was inside the Viewing Room, Wen Ping said to Yang Lele, "Lele, where are Luo Mi and the others?"

"They practiced the Sword Control Skill during the day, and in the evening they stayed in the Gravity Field, unwilling to leave, probably not keen on being at the bottom." Yang Lele giggled.

Currently, Zhao Yi has the lowest realm and power, but Zhao Yi was rebuilding, reaching the Body Refining Seventh Layer in less than two months. At this point, when Luo Mi and the other junior disciples heard the news, their last bit of composure vanished. Despite multiple temptations, neither showed any interest in the Viewing Room.

Wen Ping nodded his head, after settling those in the Viewing Room, he went straight to the Gravity Field. He intended to have a look and a chat with the two, especially with Luo Mi. Luo Mi upon arrival entered Enlightenment, and such a person is likely an Innate Sword Cultivator. He decided that Luo Mi should seize the days left to try cultivating the Sword Control Skill.

The Gravity Field should be put aside.

The mission likely depends on him.

When Wen Ping reached the Gravity Field, the two had just finished cultivating, reluctantly heading outside.

Upon seeing Wen Ping, Luo Mi quickly approached, bowing respectfully, then straightforwardly asked, "Sect Leader, today Brother Yang told me I can’t cultivate the Flame Skill, is it true?"

His initial desire upon coming to the Immortal Sect was to unleash the Fire Snake.

Now being told he can’t cultivate, he felt somewhat disappointed.

Wen Ping replied, "That’s about right, because your strength is too weak for now. Wait until the Body Refining Eighth Layer. But you should actually cultivate the Sword Control Skill, your understanding of Sword Control is quite good. If you practice it, you can certainly go further than with the Fire Snake Skill."

Luo Mi nodded, "Ah, Sect Leader, I understand... Oh, Wen Sect Leader, can I still go back into the Gravity Field?"

"Everyone has only three hours a day."

"Sect Leader, I can offer more Gold Coins, please let me go in and cultivate, the feeling of being at the bottom is unbearable." Saying this, Luo Mi took out a hundred Gold Tickets from his Storage Ring.

Wen Ping refused sharply, "Even for a hundred times that, it’s not possible."

"Sect Leader... Ah Zhu, please help me plead." Luo Mi quickly turned to Hua Xiaozhu, known for her ability to plead.

Ah Zhu hesitated, unable to speak, her thoughts were complicated, completely forgetting Luo Mi’s request.

Of course, these complicated thoughts were of joy, excitement due to her intuition yesterday.

Initially, she joined the Immortal Sect unwillingly, but now, she came to like it.

There are no distinctions of rank here, anyone can enjoy privileges as long as they pay. For instance, this Gravity Field, if in the Mitian Sect, probably only Core Disciples could enter.

Just because of this, the rule of three hours seems trivial.

Wen Ping didn’t know Hua Xiaozhu’s thoughts. After thought scanning Hua Xiaozhu, he said, "Ah Zhu, have you learned Swordsmanship?"

"Ah! No..."

Hua Xiaozhu instantly blushed, not even knowing why.

In short, whenever she looked at Wen Ping, she felt ashamed.

Wen Ping smiled gently, surprised that Hua Xiaozhu had another side besides being fierce. He then said, "You can try learning the Sword Control Skill."

Without waiting for the two to continue speaking, Wen Ping added, "You continue cultivating, I’ll take my leave first."

"Sect Leader, take care!"

The two spoke in unison.

Back at Tingyu Pavilion, Wen Ping began to worry about the side quest.

Only three days left.

Finding an Innate Sword Cultivator and having him cultivate the Sword Control Skill to Minor Success is quite challenging.

Most importantly, everyone’s cultivation time is evenly distributed. As a Sect Leader, Wen Ping can’t bear to ask everyone to practice the Sword Control Skill nonstop for five days.

"System, can there be discounts or promotions?"

The system responded, "Host, this is not a sale, but some measures can be taken. Otherwise, the side quest might not be completed."

"Are there any Innate Sword Cultivators among the current disciples?"

"Possibly!"

"So there’s one?"

Wen Ping abruptly stood up, revealing a slight smile.

Indeed, Luo Mi is likely the Innate Sword Cultivator.

"Host, it’s only possible. It’s not certain."

Whoosh!

The system immediately doused the excitement with cold water.

When Wen Ping was contemplating how to secure Luo Mi, the system’s voice suddenly changed.

"Mission released!"

"Another mission?"

Just after a mission, another one arrived.

[Side Quest—Tournament]

[An excellent sect cannot solely focus on cultivation; organizing sect tournaments effectively stimulates everyone’s cultivation and fighting spirit. Therefore, the day after tomorrow, a special tournament will be held. The champion will receive: Fire Dragon Skill, any Magical Treasure from the Immortal Slayer world. Note: Everyone can participate in this competition.]

[Completion reward: Additional trial times at the Ten Layers Tower, where cultivation time can be: 72 hours.]

"I like the mission reward."

An extra entry into the Ten Layers Tower, totaling 72 hours.

No longer pitifully limited to 4 hours a time.

After embracing the happiness from the mission reward, Wen Ping focused on the task’s content.

"System, do I need to organize this tournament, or...?"

"It’s automatic within the sect; the host simply needs to handle management. No identity restriction for this tournament, Elders can also participate."

"Elders can join? Isn’t that unfair?"

Wouldn’t Zhantian Qingxuan surely win?

What’s the point of competing then?

The system seemed aware of Wen Ping’s thoughts and promptly explained, "The tournament will lock everyone’s realm to the 13th Layer, restricting all unrelated abilities. Only abilities acquired from the Immortal Sect can be released."

Upon hearing this, Wen Ping smiled and asked, "System, are you sure this mission wasn’t specifically designed to fulfill the Innate Sword Cultivator mission?"

The system replied, "The two complement each other efficiently. So please prepare everyone within two days. The day after tomorrow, the tournament checkpoint will open, and the victor will receive the Fire Dragon Skill and any Magical Artifact from the Immortal Slayer world. Additionally, the host can enjoy 72-hour privileges for cultivation within the Ten Layers Tower."
