Chapter 23: The Dragon and Tiger Roar

  "Bi Fan..." Xiao Feng exclaimed, she had done everything she could to stop Bi Fan from accepting the challenge, but he didn't notice at all and foolishly agreed.

  Luo Sheng was a strong man who had just entered the Ling Hui realm and was also considered one of the best among the inner door disciples.

  Bi Fan had been cultivating for a long time, and Xue Feng knew better than anyone else that Bi Fan was absolutely no match for Luo Ying.

  Luo Sheng saw Bi Fan nodding in agreement and was overjoyed. He said: "But what? Just say it out loud."

  "Since it's a challenge you've proposed, shouldn't I get to decide the time and place?" Bi Fan said with a smile.

  "Of course, you decide on the location and time."

  Yu Xiao Feng said: "Bi Fan, let's set the time for ten years later, and the location is up to you."

  Luo Sheng's face changed suddenly, it was fixed ten years later, who knows what kind of situation it would be.

  "Lu Sheng, I can defeat you in less than ten years. Let's set a time, one year from now, the inner disciples will have a martial arts competition, and we'll settle this once and for all." Bi Fan was full of confidence.

  "Alright, in a year's time, I'll make you regret today's decision." Luo Sheng hastily finished speaking to prevent Yu Xiao Feng from interrupting.

  Luo Sheng left with a few followers, looking very pleased with himself and walking away with his head held high.

  "Bi Fan, why don't you set a goal for ten years from now? Or even three years would be fine. Can you cultivate to the Spiritual Wisdom Realm in just one year? That's impossible." Yu Xiao Feng was so angry that her jade-like face turned red.

  "Little Phoenix, don't worry, I will definitely be able to defeat him in a year."

  Bi Fan regarded Luo Sheng as a driving force for his own hard work and self-cultivation. With pressure comes motivation, and this was how he spurred himself on.

  He started late and had to work twice as hard as others, even Luo Sheng couldn't beat him, what makes you think you can surpass Mo Nan and Jing Feng?

  Moreover, the outside world is even more vast and boundless, with talented people everywhere.

  Yu Xiao Feng got angry and turned around to leave: "You go ahead, I don't care about you anymore."

  She thought to herself: "It seems that I have to teach Bi Fan two more sets of martial arts techniques, otherwise what can he use to fight against Luo Sheng."

  Back at Jade Maiden Peak, Yu Xiao Feng was still quarreling with Bi Fan. She threw two secret manuals at him and left without saying a word.

  Bi Fan knew that Yu Xiao Feng was concerned about him, so he wouldn't get angry.

  He picked up two secret books and looked at them.

  One of them is the boxing spectrum of Dragon and Tiger, I don't know what origin it has. The other one is Qingyang Fufeng Sword Manual, which is a sword manual for inner disciples to cultivate.

  Qingyang Fufeng Sword Manual, Bi Fan had barely managed to cultivate it, he first took a look.

  Qingyang Fufeng Sword Manual has a total of 72 moves, with a light and agile route, following the same vein as Qingyang Piaoxue Sword Manual.

  The inner disciples had a martial arts competition, and many people had demonstrated the Qingyang Fufeng Sword Technique. Bi Fan remembered all of them.

  He quickly imprinted the entire sword manual in his mind by comparing the memory of Wuji with the Qingyang Fufeng Sword Manual.

  Bi Fan did not rush to practice, but instead picked up the Longteng Huixiao boxing manual and carefully read it.

  The Longtenghuixiao boxing spectrum records a set of fierce and unmatched boxing techniques, which is quite different from the martial arts style of Qingyangmen and should not be the martial art of Qingyangmen.

  The martial arts of Qingyangmen are mostly light and agile, fast as lightning, and almost no one practices powerful and heavy techniques.

  The majestic and powerful King Gun that Lian Jingfeng had just displayed was not a martial art of the Qingyang Sect, but rather something he had unintentionally picked up in a cave.

  Bi Fan spent some time memorizing the Dragon and Tiger Fist in his mind.

  Then, he chose to cultivate the Qingyang Fufeng Sword Manual first. After all, he had cultivated the Flying Rain and Flower Sword, so it was easier to cultivate the Qingyang Fufeng Sword Manual which shared a common origin.

  The top priority is to enhance strength, after the Qingyang Fufeng Sword Technique is practiced and mastered, Bi Fan's life-saving skills will definitely increase greatly, and it won't be too late to practice the Longteng Huxiao Fist then.

  All night, Bi Fan was practicing the Qingyang Fu Feng sword technique and finally learned more than 20 moves, still a distance from being proficient.

  The next morning, Bi Fan first went to the medicine field and checked all the spiritual herbs. He also let Long Diao eat two stalks of spiritual herbs.

  Each time Long Diao eats the spiritual medicine, it is personally dug up by Bi Fan. If he lets Long Diao go himself, those precious spiritual medicines will probably be ruined.

  After doing all this, he joined Yu Xiaofeng and others to watch the martial arts competition at Mingfeng Valley.

  Watching martial arts competitions is very important for Bi Fan, as he can learn a lot of combat experience and remember many martial skills.

  Mastering martial skills helps in cultivation, and actual combat experience is even more precious. Learning a bit more will add a few more guarantees to your future life.

  If it weren't for these benefits, Bi Fan would absolutely not go to join in the commotion. He wasn't a person who liked commotion to begin with.

  Mingfeng Valley was even more lively than yesterday, with many more people coming to watch the martial competition. Many powerful cultivators from Qingyangmen had also come out.

  Today's martial arts competition started with several rounds of group knockout matches. Jing Feng and Mo Nan both advanced to the top 16 smoothly.

  The competition went on until noon, and all 16 strong players emerged. In the afternoon, it was a contest for the top 16 places.

  The reward for the inner door disciples is much more generous than that of the nominal disciples, and the reward for the top ten is also greatly different from the latter six. Of course, the rewards for the top three are still the most generous.

  The reward for first place is the best, and a single top-grade treasure is enough to drive an inner sect disciple crazy.

  Additionally, the champion will also receive three Nurturing Spirit Pills and ten Nine Transformations Pills. With these pills, even if the inner sect disciple who won the championship is only at the Giant Strength Realm, it will be much easier for them to cultivate to the Void Baptism Realm.

  Normally, inner disciples would find it very difficult to obtain such high-grade elixir rewards unless they made significant contributions.

  These two rewards alone are enough to make any inner sect disciple's heart move.

  Moreover, the rewards also include the treatment of selecting a high-level secret skill in the armory at Qingyang Gate, each reward is so crazy.

  In comparison, the second prize is a notch lower, with a mid-grade treasure, one Nurturing Spirit Pill, eight Nine Transformations Pills, and a choice of high-level secret manual.

  Those inner disciples who entered the top sixteen were rubbing their fists and palms, all wanting to improve their ranking a bit, igniting their fierce fighting spirit.

  These people are considered elite of the Qingyang Gate, and their martial skills are quite good. Bi Fan concentrated all his spiritual energy, not letting go of a single move or style.

  The top 16 martial artists will compete in a round-robin format, with each person competing against the other 15. The winner gets three points, a draw gets one point, and losing gets zero points. The person with the highest total score at the end is the champion. In case of a tie in scores, the ranking is determined by the outcome of their matches against each other.

  At noon, there was an hour of rest time. Jingfeng finally got rid of the entanglement of many female disciples and came to Bi Fan's side.

  Jing Feng nominally came to chat with Bi Fan, but in reality, his attention was more focused on Xiao Feng.

  It's obvious that Jing Feng was attracted to Yu Xiao Feng's beauty, he often steered the conversation towards her, and anyone with eyes could see that he was interested in her.

  The female disciples of Jade Maiden Peak were a bit envious of Xiaofeng, but they didn't cause any trouble. To them, Xiaofeng was their elder sister, and they didn't dare to mess with her.

  Moreover, they all have self-awareness and can get along with each other at close range, and they are already very satisfied.

  Only Bi Fan was sulking and didn't want to talk, he wanted to stay far away from them just to have some peace.
