14: Ten consecutive victories! Shocking changes in the martial arts arena!
"I am Teng Junfeng. Welcome, Immortal Master's special envoy!" Outside the Martial Arts Arena, Elder Teng bowed slightly to Zhan Yu, showing respect for the Immortal Master.
Zhan Yu did not stand on ceremony. After Elder Teng saluted, he conveyed Immortal Master Qing Xuanzi's command, then smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Elder Teng. Elder Teng manages the Martial Arts Arena daily and has rendered great service. The Immortal Master has specially bestowed this item as a reward."
Zhan Yu took out a jade bottle. Elder Teng surprisingly accepted the jade bottle. Although the jade bottle was not sealed, there was a Seal present. After sensing it slightly, Elder Teng's expression changed, and he said, "How can this old man accept such a precious item..."
"Elder Teng, what is this? The Immortal Master has always remembered you. Don't disappoint him." Zhan Yu patted Elder Teng's shoulder and said earnestly.
Elder Teng's expression changed, then he gritted his teeth, put the jade bottle into his embrace, bowed respectfully to Zhan Yu, and his eyes became resolute.
Zhan Yu did not need Elder Teng's verbal assurance. At their level of Cultivation, they naturally yearned to take that crucial step. Now that Immortal Master Qing Xuanzi had presented this opportunity to Elder Teng, there was no need to say how Elder Teng would choose. Therefore, he did not linger and turned to leave.
Yang Kai did not feel much time had passed when Elder Teng returned to this place again. Not only that, but the feeling of this person had also changed slightly.
"Elder Teng, has something major happened?" Yang Kai asked, puzzled.
"You boy are truly lucky. The Immortal Master just sent someone to give an order that from today onwards, battles in the Martial Arts Arena will earn School contributions. Many more Disciples will come to battle in the Martial Arts Arena starting today." Elder Teng laughed heartily. Originally, this Martial Arts Arena was only frequented by some Outer Sect Disciples with low strength, and the Martial Arts Arena points they painstakingly earned couldn't be exchanged for anything good. However, if they could earn School contributions, the attraction would be much greater, not to mention precious rewards like Foundation Establishment Pills.
"Please trouble Elder Teng to continue arranging duels for me. I want to fight ten matches today!" Yang Kai raised an eyebrow. He felt that the changes in the Martial Arts Arena were intricately related to his assessment task. If the number of participants increased, true experts would naturally emerge endlessly, and the difficulty of him completing a hundred consecutive victories would naturally increase. Of course, he wanted to accumulate more victories while the news had not yet spread.
"Look at how formidable you are, boy. Do you really think you can win ten consecutive matches? Don't expect this old man to go easy on you. Opponents you encounter after consecutive victories are also people in a state of consecutive victories. Don't think that winning one match means you can easily win ten!" Elder Teng said somewhat admonishingly.
"Elder Teng, just watch. I never thought of winning ten consecutive matches." Yang Kai said with a mysterious smile. He thought to himself, I'm not going for ten consecutive victories, but a hundred!
Seeing this, Elder Teng said no more. Following the same pattern, another opponent appeared before Yang Kai.
The duel began, and the opponent used the same tactic, retreating immediately. Yang Kai sensed the Spell Qi released by the opponent, who seemed to be another fire-element Spell Cultivator.
This time, Yang Kai did not choose to follow up but also retreated rapidly.
The opponent's expression changed. Yang Kai's retreat disrupted his plan. He was casting the Fireball Technique, but this Fireball Technique had a release range. With his Cultivation, beyond fifty steps, his fireball would lose control and dissipate on its own. At this moment, as the distance between the two rapidly widened, it was about to exceed this extreme range. By then, even if he released his Spell, it would not pose any threat to Yang Kai, only wasting his Qi.
So, the opponent decisively stopped and resolutely chased after Yang Kai, with a fireball quickly forming in his hand. Clearly, this person's mastery of the Fireball Technique was even greater than the previous person's.
Just as the opponent thought the battle rhythm was back under his control, Yang Kai stopped, simultaneously activating the Speed Talisman, instantly closing the distance between them. In a few more breaths, the two would likely collide.
The situation took a sharp turn. A few drops of sweat on the opponent's forehead showed his somewhat disordered state of mind. The fireball in his hand had not yet fully formed and had not reached a releasable state. Even if it could be released, releasing the Fireball Technique at this distance would make it difficult for him to avoid being affected. At this point, it was too late to retreat and widen the distance. He did not have a Speed Talisman to counteract the opponent's approaching speed. Clearly, before the two collided, this Fireball Technique would be useless.
Just as this person was caught in an intense psychological struggle, a green light flashed in Yang Kai's hand, and four or five thick vines extended from his sleeve, sweeping towards this person.
Most of this person's mental effort was focused on condensing the fireball. At this moment, trying to divert his attention to dodge left and right was clearly beyond his capabilities. Yang Kai controlled the vines to strike continuously, finally trapping this person's ankle and hanging him upside down.
With such a drastic change, this person's fireball could no longer be maintained, dissipating into a stream of Qi in his palm. The entire person was suspended in the air, unable to move, and helplessly conceded.
"You boy have a problem. In just a few days, you not only broke through to the second level of the Qi Refinement Stage but also mastered two Spells. Even if you spent twelve hours a day Cultivating, you couldn't have reached such a state?" Elder Teng said with some uncertainty, scrutinizing Yang Kai.
"Elder Teng, perhaps I am a Genius?" Yang Kai smiled slightly, joking.
"Boy, are you interested in becoming this old man's Disciple? This old man has never taken a Disciple in thousands of years of Cultivating the Dao!" Elder Teng carefully recalled the near-Perfection in Spell release that was almost like the Dao in Yang Kai's two battles, and immediately, as if discovering a treasure, wanted to take him in.
"Elder's kind intention, I appreciate it, but I'm quite happy with my current Cultivation." Yang Kai was stunned, not expecting Elder Teng to have such an idea. If it weren't for Flowing Cloud Zhenren already being his master, becoming Elder Teng's Disciple wouldn't be out of the question.
"Hmph! This old man was just regretting talent for a moment, did you really think this old man fancied you, you smelly brat? Hurry up and get ready, the next match is coming!" Elder Teng, rejected by Yang Kai, immediately puffed out his beard and glared.
Yang Kai shook his head and chuckled softly, somewhat helpless about Elder Teng's childish personality, but he obediently returned to the center of the arena, waiting for his next opponent.
The rules of the Martial Arts Arena state that if a participant loses a duel, he loses the qualification to continue dueling and can only participate again the next day. A winner can decide whether to continue fighting, and each person can fight a maximum of ten consecutive matches per day. Yang Kai already knew the rules of the Martial Arts Arena, which is why he said he wanted to win ten consecutive matches.
Next, Yang Kai faced opponents who were stronger one after another. Just as Elder Teng said, he did not go easy, choosing opponents who had also won several consecutive matches.
However, relying on the "Flowing Cloud Heart Sutra" and a large number of talismans, Yang Kai won all the duels with some close calls, bringing his winning streak to ten consecutive victories!
However, just as Yang Kai secured his tenth victory, a voice echoed throughout the entire Martial Arts Arena, startling everyone!
