Chapter 48

Huh?

Gu Qingfeng, who was about to leave, turned around and saw that a man around thirty years old had stepped out from the crowd and was walking towards him .

He was dressed in a magnificent robe and was handsome and tall . The expression on his face was somewhat arrogant and the malicious intent from his eyes was not hidden .

The other people instantly recognized him as Li Sen’s cousin, Li Can . He was an outstanding disciple of the inner sect, ranking 23rd in the inner sect and was very strong .

“Let me introduce myself . I am Li Can, Li Sen’s cousin . ” Li Can walked over and had a rather grim face, “Congratulations on becoming an inner sect disciple . ”

Gu Qingfeng took out a Redleaf Demon Fruit from his storage bag and ate it, waiting for him to continue .

“I’ve just found out that you have seriously wounded my cousin in the Redleaf Valley . Of course, completely deserved since he was weak . ”

The Windshadow’s Li family was a large family in the Bluesun Domain, and all four young masters were in the Redcloud Sect and had very good cultivation bases . Moreover, due to their family’s influence, no people dared to provoke them and they had many subordinates .

Li Can was no exception, and when he walked to Gu Qingfeng’s side, there were twenty or thirty disciples behind him .

Li Can had no expression as he stared at Gu Qingfeng and said in a deep voice, “However, you injured him too badly and you even broke his wrist . ”

On the stage, Li Ziheng saw his grandson walking towards Gu Qingfeng, but not only did he not stop him, but a smile appeared on his face . This was also the case for Daoist Fei Xue was very glad that Li Can was going to teach Gu Qingfeng a lesson .

Only Elder Rende shouted, “Li Can, what are you doing!”

Li Can turned around and humbly said, “Elder Rende, I’ve heard that Gu Qingfeng had a mutant body and his body was exceptionally strong . Moreover, just moments ago he displayed his pure spiritual force and pinnacle level mastery of the Thunderfire Art which made me admire him greatly . I just want to ask him for some advice . ”

Asking other disciples for advice was a very common thing in the Redcloud Sect and the upper echelon approved of this . Naturally, both parties had to agree before anything happened .

“The difference in strength between the two of you is too great, are you asking for advice in good faith?”

Li Can was an inner sect disciple and he was ranked 23rd . Everyone in the Redcloud Sect was aware of his cultivation base and power .

He was at the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm and his attainments in martial skill were excellent .

He had reached the adept level in Firecloud Palm and Ridge-split Palm and he even attained the pinnacle level in the martial skill Storm Kick .

In this world, all immortal skills contained 81 profundities, and only by cultivating all of them would your cultivation technique be able to reach the peak .

Nine profundities represented the elementary level, 18 profundities represented the proficient level, 27 profundities represented the minor accomplishment level, 36 profundities represented the major accomplishment level, 45 profundities represented the adept level, 54 profundities represented the pinnacle level, 63 profundities represented the perfection level, 72 profundities represented the minor cycle level, and 81 profundities represented the major cycle level .

Cultivating to the major accomplishment level was fairly doable, but any level higher than that was extremely difficult and required a high level of comprehension and many years of effort .

Obviously, the higher your mastery level was, the more power you could display .

Since the martial skills were known as the best out of the ten immortal arts, both their offensive and defensive power were extremely high .

Compared to martial skills, magic arts were not so flexible and were not particularly good at fighting, unless you cultivated a dozen of magic arts . Otherwise, if you only knew just a magic art, then it was very possible that in a fight you would be killed before you could utilize it .

As Elder Rende had said, the difference in strength between Li Can and Gu Qingfeng was too great . Even though Gu Qingfeng’s Thunderfire Art had been cultivated to the pinnacle level, and his body was stronger than an ordinary person, it still did not mean much .

In the previous sect tournament, relying on his fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm and his mastery of his three martial skills, he had taken on two disciples at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm and defeated them .

Everyone present knew that he just wanted to take revenge for his cousin under the pretext of ‘asking for advice’ .

“Young Master Bloodflame claims to be a dragon among men with profound attainments in music and magic . How can a man like him refuse?”

As if he was worried that Gu Qingfeng would not agree, Li Can first praised Gu Qingfeng then suddenly changed the subject and coldly sneered, “Gu Qingfeng, do you dare to fight me?”

Everyone knew that the strength gap of them was too big and they guessed that Gu Qingfeng did not dare to fight, however, to their surprise, he actually agreed, in his regular casual manner .

Upon hearing Gu Qingfeng’s response, Elder Rende was surprised and couldn’t help but remind him, “Gu Qingfeng, Li Can is very strong! You’re simply not his opponent . Are you sure you want to fight him?”

“Look at his attitude, if I don’t fight today, I won’t have any peaceful days in the future . So we might as well solve this today . However, are there any rules for this fight? When will we end it?” Gu Qingfeng asked .

“Do you dare to fight me in the arena?”

“Arena?” Gu Qingfeng frowned slightly and smiled, “What are the rules?”

Fei Kui, who was sitting next to him reminded, “There are not that many rules for the fights taking place in the arena . As long as you don’t injure your opponent’s three spirits it’s fine . ”

The so-called three spirits were the spiritual root, dantian, and meridians .

“In other words, everything is allowed as long as you don’t injure or cripple your opponent’s three spirits?” Gu Qingfeng has fought many battles in his life, but all of them were fights of life and death . He had never played in these types of arenas .

“What’s wrong?” Li Can haughtily shouted, “Are you scared?”

“A little!” Gu Qingfeng shrugged his shoulders, “Okay, let’s go . ”

On the stage, Elder Rende persuaded, “Gu Qingfeng, I advise you to think about it again . Although you are not allowed to injure your opponent’s three spirits, you could seriously injure him . ”

“Thanks . ” Gu Qinfgfeng thought that Rende was pretty honorable

However, his response greatly disappointed Rende and he shook his head . He was an official elder of Redcloud Sect, and also the examiner for the inner sect examination, not only that, but he was also in charge of the annual sect tournament .

Over the years, he had seen too many overconfident disciples . During the test, he was rather impressed by Gu Qingfeng’s calm demeanor and temperate appearance, leading him to think that he was quite decent .

However, to his surprise, that young man did not even listen to his advice, which left Rende disappointed .

Daoist Fei Xue, who was still sitting arrogantly next to Render coldly said, “He’s just a foolish young man that pretends to be calm and unafraid . Truly laughable . ”

Downstage, many of the surrounding people were cheering for Li Can .

“Come on, let’s begin . ” Gu Qingfeng undid his collar and smiled, “Let me see how good are your immortal arts . ”
