208: Chapter 207 Sparring

Flowing Fire Sect, Mountain Gate.

Because the Flowing Fire Sect Trial Tower was about to open.

Therefore, Cultivators from all over the Southern Region Cultivation World gathered here, wanting to challenge the Trial Tower.

Qin Changsheng also mingled with the crowd and entered the Flowing Fire Sect.

This time, besides seizing the heavenly dao fragment, Qin Changsheng came to the Flowing Fire Sect to investigate other Materials.

Inside the Flowing Fire Sect, Cultivators could be seen coming and going everywhere, gathering in groups of threes and twos, whispering about the soon-to-open Trial Tower, their tones filled with both anticipation and anxiety.

Not long after, Qin Changsheng arrived at the registration area.

In the crowd registering, Qin Changsheng also saw several familiar figures.

There were Jiang Lijuan, Senior Brother Wu Yong, and Jiang Hui.

Qin Changsheng also saw Chen Erniu, who was wearing a mask.

The moment he saw Chen Erniu, a thought immediately occurred to Qin Changsheng.

Chen Erniu was a Soul Transformation Reincarnation; he must have some purpose in challenging the Trial Tower this time.

Qin Changsheng could absolutely let Hu Nan find Chen Erniu for a spar.

He believed that as long as they sparred a few more times, he could definitely activate the Disease.

At that time, a month-long Disease would definitely cause Chen Erniu's strength to plummet.

No matter what purpose Chen Erniu had.

He would not be able to succeed.

Thinking of this, Qin Changsheng issued an instruction to Hu Nan.

He told Hu Nan to find Chen Erniu for a spar after successfully registering.

...

Flowing Fire Sect, Back Mountain.

Chen Erniu looked at Hu Nan, who was not far away, with some confusion, and said: "Brother Hu, you invited me to the Back Mountain, what is your instruction?"

Hu Nan smiled and said: "Brother Chen, we have known each other for so many years, yet we have never sparred!"

"I invited Brother Chen here today simply because I want to have a spar!"

"A spar?" Hearing this, the confusion on Chen Erniu's face deepened; he completely did not understand why Hu Nan would ask him to spar.

But soon, Chen Erniu nodded and said: "Alright!"

The reason Chen Erniu agreed so readily was that he also wanted to see Hu Nan's strength.

"Brother Chen is straightforward!" Hu Nan continued: "Swords and blades have no eyes, let us just spar with our fists and feet!"

"Please…" Before the words faded, Chen Erniu moved, his aura surging violently. His Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer Qi surged continuously, and a faint bronze halo appeared on his Physical Body, clearly indicating he had cultivated a powerful Body Refining Cultivation Technique.

Chen Erniu did not use any Magical Artifact but relied on his Physical Body strength, rushing fiercely toward Hu Nan. His fist carried the whistling sound of wind, heavy and powerful, containing immense force; he was clearly playing for real.

Hu Nan's expression remained unchanged. He slightly sidestepped, easily dodging Chen Erniu's fist, while simultaneously moving his right hand to strike at Chen Erniu.

The two engaged in a fierce contest on the open ground of the Back Mountain, fists and palms crossing, Qi clashing, emitting bursts of crisp collision sounds.

Chen Erniu's Physical Body was tough, and his fist technique was domineering. Every punch contained earth-shattering power, and the ground was smashed into small pits by his fists.

Hu Nan's Physical Body was also very strong; his movements were agile, and his fist technique was sharp. He could always dodge Chen Erniu's attacks at critical moments while launching counterattacks.

The two traded blows, neither yielding in their moves. In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged thirty rounds, still without a clear winner. The Qi fluctuations around them grew stronger, and the surrounding trees were knocked down during their clash.

Chen Erniu was also somewhat astonished in his heart.

He did not expect Hu Nan's strength to be so formidable.

But soon, Chen Erniu felt relieved; after all, Hu Nan was also a Soul Transformation Reincarnation.

After exchanging more than ten more rounds, Hu Nan took the initiative to jump away and cupped his hands at Chen Erniu, his tone carrying a hint of admiration: "Brother Chen is amazing, your strength is truly well-deserved. I have benefited greatly from today's spar!"

"How about we continue to spar tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Chen Erniu nodded slightly.

"Very well, I will spar with you again at this time tomorrow."

Hu Nan did not say anything more and turned to walk towards the Flowing Fire Sect.

At the same time, Qin Changsheng also turned his gaze to the attribute panel.

He discovered that this spar did not activate the Golden Trait Disease.

Qin Changsheng did not have any worries. He believed that after sparring a few more times, he would definitely be able to successfully activate the Golden Trait Disease.

Since Hu Nan first invited Chen Erniu to spar, in the past few days, the two had exchanged blows several times, each time resulting in a draw.

On this day, after Hu Nan and Chen Erniu finished sparring, a notification finally rang out.

[Ding, congratulations, your Golden Trait · Disease has been successfully triggered. In a quarter of an hour, Chen Erniu will be infected with fatigue, and it will last for two months.]

Hearing this notification sound, a flash of joy instantly appeared in Qin Changsheng's eyes.

After sparring so many times, he had finally activated the Golden Trait Disease.

With the Disease, Chen Erniu would absolutely not be able to successfully challenge the Trial Tower.

But soon, Qin Changsheng's gaze was fixed on the duration.

"Two months!" Qin Changsheng had a judgment in his heart.

The introduction to the Golden Trait Disease stated that for ordinary opponents, it would only last for one month.

Only for enemies would the infection probability double, and the duration would also double, reaching two months.

"So, Chen Erniu had long regarded Hu Nan as an enemy." Qin Changsheng was not at all surprised.

After all, Chen Erniu was a Soul Transformation Reincarnation.

In his heart, Hu Nan was also a Soul Transformation Reincarnation.

He must have been wary of Hu Nan.

Plus, Hu Nan often disrupted his plans, so it was normal for him to regard Hu Nan as an enemy.

At the same time, Chen Erniu had already returned to the inn.

Just after entering the room, Chen Erniu felt as if his strength had been drained all at once.

A wave of intense fatigue swept over him, making him unable to support himself any longer. His figure became unstable, and he almost fell to the ground.

"What is happening…?" Chen Erniu's expression changed drastically, his eyes full of astonishment and confusion.

He completely did not understand what was going on.

"Could I have been poisoned?" Thinking of this, Chen Erniu hurriedly sat cross-legged on the bed and began to use his Divine Sense to carefully check his physical condition.

He was a Soul Transformation Reincarnation with a powerful Divine Soul; he knew his own condition like the back of his hand. Ordinary injuries and abnormalities could not escape his Divine Sense investigation.

His Divine Sense slowly flowed through his body; every Meridian and every inch of his Physical Body was clearly inspected by him.

A moment later, Chen Erniu slowly opened his eyes, the astonishment on his face instantly replaced by deep bewilderment.

At this moment, Chen Erniu had already discovered that he was infected with the Mortal fatigue sickness.

He was a Soul Transformation Stage powerhouse Reincarnation; his Physical Body had been tempered and was incomparably strong, and his Divine Soul far exceeded that of ordinary Cultivators. Ordinary Mortal Diseases, let alone infecting him, didn't even have the qualification to get near him.

How could he have suddenly contracted a fatigue sickness that even Mortals could easily resist?

He repeatedly activated his Divine Sense to check his body again, but the result remained the same.

"Impossible… How could I be infected with the fatigue sickness?" Chen Erniu could not figure out how he could have fallen victim to such an inconspicuous Mortal Disease.

He subconsciously thought of Hu Nan.

But soon, Chen Erniu ruled Hu Nan out.

After all, no matter how strong Hu Nan was, it was impossible for him to cause him to be infected with a Mortal Disease.

Could it be because he went to a Mortal city some time ago?

Chen Erniu thought carefully for a long time, but still could not find any clue.

However, he soon returned to normal.

After all, what he was infected with was just a Mortal Disease.

With his ability, he could recover from this kind of Disease in just one day.

And the Trial Tower still needed a few days to open.

This symptom would not affect him from seizing the treasures within the Trial Tower at all.

...

In the blink of an eye, the eve of the Trial Tower's opening arrived.

A special guest came to Hu Nan's room.

This special guest was Chen Erniu.

At this moment, Chen Erniu had long lost his usual strength and calmness. His face was pale, his eyes were listless, his aura was extremely weak, and even his footsteps were somewhat unsteady. Every step he took seemed to exhaust all his strength.

Qin Changsheng was not very surprised by Chen Erniu's state.

After all, what made Chen Erniu like this was the Golden Trait Disease.

Hu Nan hurriedly stood up and walked quickly to Chen Erniu: "Brother Chen? What happened to you? It has only been a few days, how have you become so weak?"

Chen Erniu waved his hand, a tired wry smile appearing on his face: "It is just that some problems occurred during my recent Cultivation, and my body is a bit exhausted."

He did not want to mention that he was infected with the Mortal fatigue sickness; firstly, he felt it was too absurd and embarrassing, and secondly, he was afraid that Hu Nan would notice something strange, so he could only find an excuse about having problems with his Cultivation to brush it off.

"Brother Chen, please sit!" Hu Nan did not expose Chen Erniu's thoughts and invited Chen Erniu to sit on a chair.

After Chen Erniu sat down, Hu Nan pretended to be confused and asked: "Brother Chen, you visited late at night, surely it is not just to tell me that you had problems with your Cultivation, right?"

Chen Erniu nodded and said: "Brother Hu, I have indeed come here this time to ask for a favor!"

"Brother Chen, please speak. As long as it is within my power, I will definitely help!" Hu Nan said.

Chen Erniu looked at Hu Nan before saying: "The Trial Tower will open tomorrow, and in my current state, it will be difficult to pass the Trial Tower!"

"I would like to ask Brother Hu to help bring a key out from inside the Trial Tower!"

"A key?" Hu Nan asked, feigning surprise.
