Chapter 241: The Grand Finale

  "Right, I almost forgot about Xiaopei's Yuandan this time."

  ”

  As soon as Tang An thought of the prompt given by the system, he immediately ran into his own room.

  He pulled out a small bottle from the head of the bed, which contained a type of blood-activating and stasis-dispelling medicine produced by the sect. It was used to treat injuries caused by falls and knocks after taking it internally. After all, during this stage of practicing qigong and nourishing one's life, the focus was on refining muscles, so it was inevitable that external injuries would occur. The consideration of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect was indeed thorough.

  Tang An followed the system's instructions and poured all of Xiao Pei Yuan Dan's effects into the Huo Xue Hua Yu San in his hand, of course, the effect of this Huo Xue Hua Yu San completely disappeared.

  Xiao Pei Yuan Dan. As the name suggests, it is a supplement for solidifying the foundation and cultivating the origin, but it is extremely pure and refined. After taking it, one doesn't need to worry about internal energy becoming chaotic at all. It is the best elixir for practicing Qi and nourishing life in this realm. This is a unique treasure that belongs to the system, and it is extremely rare in this world.

  After Tang An swallowed the Xiao Pei Yuan Dan, he immediately felt his stomach start to heat up. He knew that this was the effect of the medicine starting to take hold. He quickly sat down and began to circulate his internal energy, allowing the medicinal properties of the Xiao Pei Yuan Dan to spread throughout his body along with the flow of his inner energy.

  Tang An had assumed the Five Hearts Facing Heaven posture, his eyes closed as he guided the inner energy to continuously cleanse the meridians throughout his body. The medicinal effects of the Xiao Pei Yuan Dan also slowly seeped into the muscles and meridians along with the major circulation.

  Half an hour later, Tang An opened his eyes to find himself covered in a thick layer of grime all over his body, and his stomach felt extremely painful, wanting to have a bowel movement.

  After the big relief, his whole body felt refreshed and his internal energy was circulating even more quickly and smoothly. His physique had also improved greatly, and now that he had refined it further and swallowed this small Pei Yuan Dan, his physique was no longer inferior to that of an ordinary child born with divine power.

  Unbeknownst to him, his meridians had also been unblocked by a considerable amount. Some of the smaller meridians that were originally clogged up had now all been cleared. In this state, he was only one step away from achieving the second level of Tian Ren, Washing the Marrow and Cutting the Meridians.

  ……

  After lunch, Tang An arrived early at the Grinding Sword Hall.

  This afternoon's assessment is no longer in the outer square, but has been moved to a martial arts arena at the very center of [Mojiantang].

  The martial arts arena was extremely large, about the same size as a football field in his previous school, but it was surrounded by all kinds of weapons. This place wasn't somewhere that kids could come to normally. It was a place where only the strong among the outer sect disciples who had reached the second or third heavenly layer could come to train.

  Traveling the world, one cannot rely solely on their hands and feet. Practicing a weapon is a compulsory course for outer disciples of Mount Shu. Mount Shu has its rules: those who have not reached the fourth realm of Tianren by the age of 20 will be sent to industries or armies controlled by Mount Shu for training. Or they can work as bodyguards in Mount Shu's business, or join the army controlled by Mount Shu disciples to gain military merit.

  "Knock knock knock!"

  At this moment, the big drum started to beat again. At this time, there were only over 300 children under the age of 10 standing in the square. In addition to Tang An's generation entering Shu Mountain, there were also several previous generations. After all, they entered the Shu Mountain Sword Sect at a young age, and it was normal not to be over 10 years old.

  "You are all elites among the outer disciples of Mount Shu Sword Sect! But today, I want to know who is the elite among the elites! Here, I have 10 quotas for inner disciples. If you can defeat others on the arena today, you will gain the qualification to enter the Inner Gate [Trial Sword Hall] to learn martial arts, and also receive a complete set of ten-layer Mount Shu internal skill heart method, enough for you to cultivate to the fifth realm of Tianren. As for the above-mentioned heart method, wait until you officially become an inner disciple, and the first seat of each peak will grant you [Mount Shu Sword Classic]."

  A loud and clear voice came from the great hall, this voice although did not sound like the Black Mountain Great Leader's tiger roar, but it clearly reached everyone's ears. It should be a kind of extremely high and profound inner power technique.

  After the voice fell silent, a white-clad beauty walked out of the hall.

  That man looked about 20 years old, extremely handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. A jade hairpin was inserted at the hair knot on his head, and he wore a green robe that fluttered in the wind as he walked. His demeanor was elegant and refined, and every gesture and movement showed his suave and carefree nature.

  That man looked down at the little kids and smiled slightly: "Are you doubting what I said? Let me introduce myself, my name is Cang Feng. As for martial arts, it should be pretty good, fellow Jianghu friends gave me a nickname [Like Jade Sword]. Now, do you believe me?"

  He finished speaking, and suddenly there was a dull rumble from below, followed by a loud explosion.

  "Ah! I know him, he's the eldest disciple of our sect, Ruyi Jian, Cang Feng Dashi, a legendary master who has cultivated to the sixth level of Tianren. It's said that he's only one step away from entering the seventh level and becoming the youngest elder in our Shu Shan Sword Sect!"

  "I've also heard of him. It's said among the Jianghu people that Cang Feng, the great master brother, has already surpassed the leaders of the other six veins in terms of martial arts skills and is now the strongest person in the Shu Shan Sword Sect, second only to the sect leader. Don't be fooled by his youthful appearance, he's around 20 years old, but he's actually been out in the Jianghu for almost 20 years."

  "What? Isn't he almost 40 years old? How can he look so young? The internal power of Shu Mountain is indeed amazing!"

  The little kid below looked excited, the white-clothed scholar just smiled slightly and said a few words to several people beside him, then swung his sleeve and left elegantly.

  He is the eldest disciple of the sect, and also the strongest in this generation of disciples. Wherever he goes, others have to show respect and dare not block his way. However, the big black tower [Black Mountain Leader] next to him saw the messy appearance of the little kid below and frowned, shouting loudly at the bottom: "Quiet! Those who don't want to take the assessment can get out of here!"

  His voice was like thunder, and the little kids below him felt their hearts skip a beat when he roared, hastily lining up in front of him to draw lots.

  After drawing lots, one has to first lift a 300-catty stone lock before continuing to participate in the competition.

  Perhaps it was due to their absolute confidence in themselves that among these over 300 children, fewer than 20 failed to lift the 300-catty stone lock.

  When Tang An lifted the 300-jin stone lock, he suddenly felt incredibly light. His strength had increased again!

  "At this stage, my greatest strength is a one-time burst of over 400 catties! I'm also above average among these people. However, fighting isn't just about comparing strength. For the past three months, I've been diligently training my body and mastering the basic fist techniques of the Shu Mountain Heart Method, without any slack. Diligence can make up for clumsiness. Those children who are the same age as me, even if they trained at home before coming to Shu Mountain, definitely can't compare to my efficiency. I have 80% confidence that I can get a spot in this competition!"
