Chapter 2: Liuyun Sect Inner Disciple Ranking Competition, Three or Four Years Ago

In the VIP seats at Liuyun Sect’s Martial Arts Square.

Chen Haoran said: "Fan'er, what do you think of those inner disciples?"

"Very strong."

Chen Fan watched the battle on the platform below with great interest. Since he came here, he seldom fought and usually stayed at home to practice.

The advantage of this is safety, and before the potential is exhausted, the improvement in cultivation will be relatively stable.

But the disadvantage is that they have too little combat experience and have not gone through the trials of blood and fire. When fighting with people of equal strength, it is easy to fall into a disadvantage.

Every inner disciple of the sect will take on missions, both to make money and to improve their own strength. Everyone's strength is very good.

Just like the young girl on the platform that Chen Fan was looking at now, she was not very old, maybe even a little younger than him, and her cultivation was only at the initial stage of Condensation Realm, not even at the peak. But she had a fierce swordsmanship, sometimes slashing horizontally, sometimes slashing sideways, with true Qi lingering around the sword body, which was extremely exquisite, and she made the opponent in the middle stage of Condensation Realm retreat step by step.

To put it another way, if it was Chen Fan standing on the platform, with his cultivation level at the early stage of the Condensation Realm, he would have no other choice but to use the amazing attack power of the Purple Thunder Divine Art to suppress the inner disciple at the middle stage of the Condensation Realm on the opposite side.

However, although the power of thunder-type true qi is great, its consumption is also correspondingly higher, and it is often less durable than other attribute qi at the same level.

Of course, that was before. The Purple Thunder Divine Art, as the Chen family's signature skill, has a total of eleven levels. The previous ones were just about purifying the thunder-type true qi. After the sixth level, a thunder core could be condensed in the body. Every time two levels are raised, one more thunder core will be condensed.

The thunder core is equivalent to an energy storage device, which can inject excess true energy into the thunder core, thereby obtaining more lasting combat power, perfectly solving the shortcomings of thunder warriors.

When the Purple Thunder Divine Art reaches the eleventh level, one can acquire a new form called Thunder Transformation, which is said to be able to greatly enhance combat power.

Unfortunately, no one in this generation of the Chen family could do this, including Chen Haoran who was stuck at the tenth level.

"That little girl is called Zhu Mei. She is one of the most talented inner disciples of this generation of Liuyun Sect, second only to the son of the Sect Master of Liuyun Sect."

After Chen Haoran followed Chen Fan's line of sight and noticed Zhu Mei, he smiled faintly.

"'Anxiang Sword' Zhu Meimo is indeed extraordinary."

Chen Fan murmured.

"Zhu Mei is still just a young girl, so Ye Chen hasn't grown up yet, and hasn't even joined Liuyun Sect yet."

Chen Fan calculated secretly. Of course, he had no intention of seeking Ye Chen's opportunity. As a genius, and a genius with a golden finger, he disdained to do so. What's more, it was not worth it.

It will probably take Ye Chen another three or four years to travel through time and space. Three or four years is a very long time for him who has an epiphany panel. With the blessing of dozens of epiphanies, it is hard to imagine what level his strength will reach.

By then, Ye Chen’s opportunity might not mean anything to him.

There are a total of ten platforms in the square. In addition to Zhu Mei's platform, Chen Fan was also observing the battles on several other platforms.

While observing, he compared his chances of winning against those top inner disciples.

After watching several matches, Chen Fan came to the conclusion that most of the inner disciples of Liuyun Sect were not worth worrying about and that ordinary inner disciples in the late stage of Condensation Realm could be defeated in one move.

But some inner disciples are not that simple. Even if they face Chen Fan now, they can still defeat him in two moves without using super-standard skills and martial arts.

What is super standard? It is the sixth level of Purple Thunder Magic and the low-level earth-level martial arts Thunder Palm. These two cannot be practiced in the Condensation Realm. Without enlightenment, Chen Fan would not be able to reach this level. For example, a young man on the third platform who used fists was two meters tall and extremely strong. His realm was only the late stage of the Condensation Realm, but his pair of iron fists were unparalleled and powerful. Every punch was like a mountain pressing down, and the opponent who was at the peak of the late stage of the Condensation Realm was defeated step by step.

On platform number five there was a young man wielding a sword. His sword technique was elegant and his sword skills were exquisite. When he swung his sword, it was like a gentle breeze blowing on your face. But upon closer inspection, it was like a violent wind tearing apart the opponent. At least he had mastered a top-level human-level sword technique to perfection.

To put it bluntly, the rest are not taken seriously by Chen Fan now.

"That young man's name is Huben. He was born in a remote mountain village. He is born with supernatural powers. Although he is in the late stage of the Condensation Realm, his body has enough strength of ten thousand pounds. Combined with his cultivation, he is at least in the top three among the inner disciples of the Liuyun Sect this time."

"The young man with the sword is named Mo Xie. He is from the Mo family. He has an extraordinary talent for swordsmanship and his swordsmanship is pretty good."

Chen Haoran, who was standing by, seemed to notice Chen Fan's gaze and began to explain.

"Hu Ben, Mo Xie is weird, I haven't seen this kind of strength in the original book."

Chen Fan was a little puzzled. With their strength and talent, as long as they continued to grow normally, even if they didn't become geniuses of the Prince of Tianfeng Kingdom, they would certainly be able to become core disciples.

"By the way, Fan'er, are you interested in fighting with them?"

Just as Chen Fan fell into deep thought, Chen Haoran said.

"Ok?"

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, then hesitated: "Dad, this is Liuyun Sect's inner disciple ranking competition. If I go down and interfere... uh... it's not a good idea."

"Who told you to go up now? You are in front of everyone. If you lose, it's fine. But if you win, it's obvious that you are slapping the face of Liuyun Sect, saying that the disciples they trained are not as good as my son, Chen Haoran. Although I also think so, I, your father, am not sure that I can take you to escape from the hands of the Xingji Realm strongman."

Chen Haoran rolled his eyes and said, "After their inner disciple ranking competition is over, your father will personally take you to see Sect Master Luo."

"it is good."

Now that things have come to this, Chen Fan no longer refuses. Since he traveled through time, he has rarely fought with geniuses of his generation. At most, he has only practiced with the elders of his family.

The elders in the family always held back because of his status, which was not satisfying. Now that he can compete with a genius of the same generation, why not do it?

Besides, as Chen Haoran said, he will not lose!
"Haha, Patriarch Chen took the time to come visit me during his busy schedule. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I hope you won't blame me."

In the main hall, a middle-aged man stood up, crouching like a tiger or coiling like a dragon, with thick joints and an aura like the scorching sun, with explosive power and unfathomable depth. This man was none other than Luo Xinglie, the current leader of Liuyun Sect.

"Master Luo is too polite. Chen came here this time to ask for an important favor."

Chen Haoran said.

"Master Chen, please feel free to say it. As long as Luo can do it, I will not refuse!"

Luo Xinglie was very generous. Although each of the eight major families had disciples who joined the five major sects, in fact, except for the Duanmu family and the Chen family which were strong enough, the other major families all had their own sects with which they were relatively close.

For example, the Ji family and the Emerald Valley, the Wang family and the Ziyang Sect, the Liu family and the Nanluo Sect, and the Liuyun Sect naturally has a better relationship with the Ye family.
