Sword Devil Also Dual Cultivates?

Chapter 107: Lan Ming's Strength

"So, did you find out?" Lan Ming walked towards the arena and asked.

Behind him, a humanoid figure covered with completely dark energy appeared. Slowly, the dark energy disappeared, and the man standing behind was none other than the short and chubby sidekick of his.

"They are indeed hiding their strength. It seems they are much more powerful but they seem to be hiding it from the entire sect. So, I highly doubt that they will show it in front of the sect." The chubby young man nodded his head and answered.

A smile appeared on Lan Ming's face. He touched his chin and asked, "What about Zhao Tan?"

"No, he doesn't seem to be hiding the strength. Though his strength is not weak. So, what do you plan to do?" The chubby young man asked.

Lan Ming smirked and spoke "I took six years to practice the Heaven Devouring Star Swallowing Technique. I might have been behind many others but I will be able to surpass them in no time. But, what about you? How is your comprehension of Celestial God Scripture?"

"Hmm! I have completed the basics. I believe I will be able to condense the Celestial Veins which will improve my cultivation speed in a few days. And, my comprehension over Nine Hell Shadow Technique has reached the Perfect." The chubby young man proudly spoke as he released the dark energy around him.

"Haha! That's good but don't let arrogance consume you. Tian Su, even your name has heaven on it. Celestial has the arrogance to their bones, so control yourself." Lan Ming nodded his head and spoke with a serious tone.

"Don't worry, Brother Lan. I am not celestial. Tian Su was the name given by you when you picked me up. I will never get arrogant just because of the name." Tian Su shook his head and spoke with seriousness on his face.

Lan Ming patted his shoulder and shook his head "I know you are not born in the celestial family. But you possess Prime Celestial Physique which is the top physique of the Celestial Family. This is the reason why I picked you up."

"Because I had Celestial God Scripture that only the person with your physique can cultivate. But, I believe you won't let the arrogance enter your head."

Tian Su nodded his head and both of them walked towards the arena.

After reaching the arena, they saw the head elder making a speech over the stage.

"Congratulation to everyone who has successfully reached the third stage. Unlike the previous stage, this stage has taken one part from stage one and another part from stage two."

"Everyone in the third stage will have a chance to challenge others before they lose to their opponent. And, if you are challenged by someone you can refuse three times. After the third refusal, any more refusal will disqualify you. And, you can also challenge someone three times."

"And, before we start the battle. Let's mourn for the death of Elder Yan. He has been a referee for two stages but last night, his life talisman was destroyed showing his death. Unfortunately, we couldn't find his trial nor we could find who killed him."

"And, two days ago, another elder of our sect died. Most of you who have been to the Enlightenment Room must have seen him. We haven't been able to locate his trial either nor have we found the culprit. This is why we want to end the third stage today and put our forces in the investigation of these deaths."

At this moment, many disciples were confused and shocked by the death of two elders except for three people. They were Guo Min, Guan Xing, and Qin. All of them knew the inside story of this. So, they were shocked.

After that, everyone mourned for the dead elders. But, soon the third stage battle started as the head elder took the role of the referee. Out of forty disciples, Qin, Guan Xing, the cold girl, and the man with a spear were least challenged.

It wasn't surprising since everyone knew their strength. But, few disciples were confused when they saw other disciples challenging Lan Ming one after another. At first, they didn't understand but later they found the reason.

Only when you have a certain strength, you can feel his strength otherwise he is like a normal human. But, Lan Ming proved his strength, after and after again.

His Heaven Devouring Star Swallowing is not just a qi cultivation technique but also a body cultivation technique. It has the power to devour anything that has spiritual qi and use it for two purposes which were Qi Cultivation and Body Cultivation.

At this moment, his body cultivation was Elephant Body Realm just like Qin. But, Qin is at the peak of Elephant Body Realm while he has only reached the Elephant Body Realm a few days ago. When he showed his strength, everyone was shocked especially some of the members of his family.

Because his cultivation improved slowly, his family treated him like trash and kicked him out of the family. There were a few junior brothers of his family who were watching him battle and were shocked.

Qin and others were shocked as well. During his battle, Qin tried to learn more about him. It turns out Lan Ming was also an orphan. But, unlike Qin, his parents were dead. For six years, his cultivation improved slowly so he was kicked out of the family.

Although he was getting the spotlight in the battle, Guo Min wasn't shrinking either. He was also challenged and won constantly. With his immense devouring luck ability, new knowledge of Nine paths, and Golden Dragon Scripture, he didn't lose most of his battle.

Until he was challenged by Tian Su.

"I don't think he is an easy opponent. Be careful!" Guan Xing reminded Guo Min who he stood up and walked towards the ground while nodding his head at Guan Xing.

"Brother Guo Min, let's have a nice battle!" Tian Su politely spoke as he took out two daggers and held them in his hands. The dark qi gushed out and covered his hands.

Guo Min nodded his head and clenched his fist. His golden qi burst out of into his fist. He was still in Qi Gathering Realm but due to his Golden Dragon Battle Qi Technique, his qi has changed into golden and has the attributes of the dragon.

He stomped his foot on the ground and rushed towards Tian Su. Unlike most of his battles, he didn't want to wait for his opponent. Tian Su puts a big smile on his face and swings his hands. The dark qi condensed at his dagger burst out in the shape of the dagger edge.

Bang! Bang!

Guo Min coats his hands with the golden qi and smashed those dark slashes. The power of those slashes left the mark on his fists. He frowned for a moment and looked at the mark. When he saw the yellow dots, he frowned even more.

Then, he switched his gaze at Tian Su dark qi and spotted some yellow dots. The next second, his eyes shrunk, and thought 'This guy is not only using dark qi but also the light qi. It seems he is using a heavy amount of dark qi to hide the effect of light qi.'

'My Golden Qi has some light attribute and this makes it stronger against dark qi. But, if he uses light qi, then it's a whole different story. Those light qi can pierce my golden qi coating and injure me. I need to be careful about this.'

"Golden Dragon Claws!"

Without hesitation, Gou Min transformed his hands into the golden dragon claws and rushed towards Tian Su.

"What?" The head elder who was sitting on the chair suddenly stood up and shouted "He cultivated all three techniques in just a night. How is this possible?"

"Hush! You can't judge the book by its cover, head elder." Su Ling who was sitting beside him sighed and fixed her gaze at the battle.

Actually, Guo Min had an advantage here. Because of immense knowledge from those nine paths, he basically cultivated all three techniques at once. But, he only needed to practice Golden Dragon Battle Body Technique and Golden Dragon Battle Qi Technique.

As for Golden Dragon Battle Soul Technique, he had a relatively high advantage with his soul energy. And, he also had an advantage with Battle Qi. The only technique he truly focused on was Golden Dragon Battle Body Technique.

Whoosh! Bang! Thud! Thud!

Guo Min dashed towards Tian Su and slashed his claw with immense force. Tian Su raised his daggers to block it but when his claw struck, Tian Su got smashed to the ground a few times but as soon as his body slowed down, he got up in his foot.

Whoosh!

As soon as he balanced himself, Guo Min dashed towards him and punched. But when he punched, his fist hits nothing body air.

"First Hell- Shadow Cloak!"
