27: Come back to Qinxiu Tower!

"Time," Elder Teng said faintly, looking at Yang Kai, waiting to see if he could comprehend it.

Yang Kai was not a foolish person. He began to ponder, following the hint given by Elder Teng. The time in the Martial Arts Arena could only be the duration of a battle. Yang Kai thought about this for a moment and then dismissed it. Besides that, it had to be the start and end times!

"I know! As long as I can know when these people start fighting, I can matchmake myself during the intervals after they enter battle, thus avoiding them!" Yang Kai looked up at Elder Teng and said.

"Not bad! Besides that, there's another point: the Martial Arts Arena doesn't actively broadcast everyone's winning streak. This way, you can quietly achieve a hundred consecutive wins without anyone knowing," Elder Teng nodded, smiling as he spoke.

"No, after every battle, you clearly announce the number of consecutive wins... Could it be?! But isn't this cheating?" Yang Kai looked at Elder Teng with some surprise. The current Elder Teng was too different from the Elder Teng of a month ago; he was openly suggesting to help him cheat.

"Indeed, specifying each person's number of wins after every match was just a whim of this old man. Even if I no longer mention it, it doesn't violate any rules," Elder Teng said calmly and composedly. He had been planning this scheme ever since a few Prodigies, including Zhao Hongyu, entered the Martial Arts Arena a few days ago.

He had long regarded Yang Kai as his Disciple. Everyone has selfish motives. He didn't want Yang Kai to constantly harbor thoughts of taking shortcuts in his future Cultivation, but he also wasn't so rigid as to let Yang Kai miss this Opportunity. Moreover, based on his understanding of Yang Kai during this period, Yang Kai never slacked off in his Cultivation; on the contrary, Yang Kai was more diligent in his Cultivation than any young Disciple he had ever seen. Without this psychological burden, his decision was even more to his liking.

Yang Kai looked at Elder Teng, and it was false to say he wasn't moved. In the past three years, Elder Teng could be considered the person who treated him best, even though he hadn't formally acknowledged him as his master, Elder Teng's care for him hadn't diminished.

"Alright, stop being so sentimental. Quickly finish today's duels, then go back and Breakthrough your Cultivation. I suggest you go to the Qinxu Tower to Cultivate and Breakthrough. There is a large amount of Spiritual Qi there for you to Cultivate. With your strength, you should be able to defeat the guarding Yao Beast on the first floor," Elder Teng was not good with words. Seeing the atmosphere become a bit awkward, he quickly changed the subject and advised him.

"Yes!" Yang Kai felt both touched and guilty, only because he had concealed something from Elder Teng regarding the Qinxu Tower.

That day in the Qinxu Tower, he had passed two stages consecutively, and with the help of Elder Qiu, he completed the introductory Cultivation of the Ninefold Mixed Origin Body Refining Art. However, when he came to the Martial Arts Arena to meet Elder Teng, he concealed the fact that he had already passed two stages, only mentioning that he had received investment from Elder Qiu.

Under Elder Teng's precise control, Yang Kai avoided several potential opponents who also had forty consecutive wins, accumulating his wins to fifty.

Flowing Cloud Sect, Qinxu Tower.

Yang Kai walked into the Qinxu Tower step by step. As time passed, the fervor here had long since faded. After all, the threshold here was too high. Except for a few individual Outer Sect Disciples, no one had the strength to cross Ranks and kill a Foundation Establishment Stage Yao Beast with Qi Refinement Stage Cultivation. Without any benefits to gain, naturally, no such crowds came anymore.

"Kid! You haven't been here for a long time! This old man thought you were a fickle kid who ate his fill and ran off!" When Yang Kai arrived in front of the Qinxu Tower, Elder Qiu's figure appeared before Yang Kai, and at the same time, his sharp and harsh words entered Yang Kai's ears.

"Elder Qiu is joking. This period, this junior has been Cultivating diligently. Today, I have finally mastered all my strength, which is why I dare to come here to Cultivate again. These days, this junior has also heard about Elder's predicament. Elder, please rest assured, this junior has always known how to repay kindness. If one day I can decide the world with a single word, I will definitely rescue you from here," Yang Kai said with a solemn expression, bowing respectfully and making his promise.

"Over the years, this old man has also nurtured a few ungrateful wretches. These people not only have ordinary Aptitude, but over time, they also learned a set of so-called 'righteous and demonic cannot coexist,' Climbing up, fearing even the slightest association with this old man! This old man doesn't have much time left and doesn't seek to regain freedom. It's just that I find you pleasing to the eye, so I'll give you a few pointers." Elder Qiu felt a little excited inside, but he was also a person who cared about Face, so he naturally wouldn't admit it verbally. However, he had already made up his mind to fully Cultivate Yang Kai into a Prodigy of the Flowing Cloud Sect. If Yang Kai could suppress the younger generation of the Flowing Cloud Sect, it would be another kind of victory for him.

Entering the Qinxu Tower, the familiar scene made the dormant flesh and blood within Yang Kai's Physical Body begin to surge. In the Martial Arts Arena, in order to hide his information, he fought with his hands tied. It was much more satisfying to fight Yao Beasts here.

Just as Yang Kai was ready, a giant python drilled out from underground, constantly flicking its tongue at Yang Kai, looking exceptionally ferocious.

These days, at Elder Teng's place, he not only underwent Physical Body training, but Elder Teng, seeing Yang Kai's weak basic knowledge, taught him some Cultivation knowledge and Yao Beast information every day, regardless of whether Yang Kai could understand or remember it, he just rattled it all off. Yang Kai knew that a bad memory was better than a dull pen, so every night when he rested, he would organize the content he heard during the day into a book, and when he had free time, he would open it to read, thus gaining a general impression.

"Several zhang tall, with a purple sun on its back, this creature looks like the Purple Sun Python that Elder Teng mentioned. The snake venom in its Physical Body is extremely poisonous, and its massive body is very good at coiling. If entangled by this python, one would surely suffocate to death." Information about this Yao Beast flowed through his mind, and Yang Kai already had a strategy to defeat the enemy.

Yang Kai formed hand seals, and the Flowing Cloud Heart Sutra within his Physical Body was fully activated. A few breaths later, a lifelike flaming giant tiger reappeared.

As Yang Kai's Cultivation improved, releasing this Flame Tiger Spell again was much easier, and as the amount of magic power activated increased, the power of the Flame Tiger also improved significantly. Aside from Physical Body Cultivation, this Spell was already Yang Kai's strongest offensive method.

The Flame Tiger, driven by Yang Kai, charged towards the Purple Sun Python. The Purple Sun Python was very disdainful of this Spell. It suddenly swung its tail, and the fin at the end of its tail fanned out like a lightning bolt, striking the Flame Tiger. Just like extinguishing a bushfire, it left behind only a few sparks, as proof that the Flame Tiger had once existed.

"It seems I need to Breakthrough my Cultivation quickly. Early Stage Qi Refinement Stage Cultivation, even with the Flowing Cloud Heart Sutra and high-Rank Spells, is still not presentable in front of Foundation Establishment Stage existences, and it's even less worth mentioning compared to those Prodigies." Although Elder Teng arranged for him, Yang Kai didn't have to fight these Prodigies. However, he always regarded these people as imaginary enemies in his heart, and the thought of these people being ahead motivated him greatly in his Cultivation.

"Alright then, let me test the results of my Physical Body Cultivation during this period!" Yang Kai slowly took off his Daoist robe, revealing his not-so-muscular Physical Body to the air. Then, he stomped heavily, and his figure charged towards the Purple Sun Python, directly colliding with it!
