Chapter 23: Dormitory War

  After raising his inner strength to the early stage of the fourth layer of the Renmai realm, Gu Chao got up and went to the bathroom in the dormitory to take a bath. The bathroom in this world certainly couldn't have any electric water heaters, but fortunately, he was used to practicing martial arts and strengthening his body, so he wasn't afraid of the cold, and he washed himself with well water in this somewhat chilly autumn season.

  After taking a bath and putting on a clean uniform of the Tai Shan style, I plan to go to the cafeteria for dinner.

  These fifteen days at Yingxia Peak were spent in cultivation. When outdoors, I didn't dare to start a fire easily, as it would attract other demonic beasts, so the food was mostly dry rations.

  The dry rations were mainly made of green noodles, which were made by stir-frying and drying green noodles. The taste was similar to instant noodles, it was okay at first, but after eating a lot, I felt like vomiting.

  It's great to be back at Zhongxi Peak, no need to stay outdoors, of course not willing to eat dry food again, silly now only eating dry food.

  Arrived at the cafeteria, ordered a large serving of chicken fried rice. This large serving of chicken fried rice was probably around two catties in quantity. However, Gu Chao was originally growing taller and practicing martial arts which consumed a lot, so his appetite was already big to begin with, and he could finish the two-catty serving. Usually, he thought the cafeteria's food tasted average, but today maybe because he had been eating dry rations for a long time, he felt that this chicken fried rice was incredibly delicious. He ate half a catty before taking a slight rest, slowing down his pace, and then ate some of the free cabbage and leafy greens soup provided by the cafeteria.

  Gu Chao glanced around, on the right side not far away, there were three young men sitting at a table. On the left side, also not far away, there were three girls sitting at another table. The girls were chattering and discussing something, seemingly in high spirits. As for the three young men, their discussion was much more interesting.

  "I heard that not long ago, the young genius Murong Ying picked a first-class top-grade medicinal herb, Bingjingcao, while entering the mountain to collect medicine. He swallowed that Bingjingcao and his internal strength has now reached the seventh layer of the acquired realm, far surpassing us. The top-grade Bingjingcao among the first-class medicinal herbs is much more valuable than the lower-grade first-class medicinal herb, Jumi Grass, collected by Gu Chao."

  "Too awesome! It turns out that Murong Ying was already at the sixth layer of the acquired realm, and now he's even reached the seventh layer. He really lives up to being a young genius!"

  "The inner strength of the Seventh Layer of the Back Heaven Realm, combined with the small success of the Seventy-Two Paths of Knife Techniques, either way, Murong Ying is undoubtedly the first."

  "By the way, I heard that Fang Yun from a middle-class family had a sudden breakthrough recently and reached the sixth layer of the acquired realm. Now Fang Yun is the second strongest among our 61 people."

  "Awesome!"

  "It's said that Lin Yuan, who comes from the Black Iron World family, has also encountered a strange occurrence and reached the sixth layer of the Post-Heaven Realm. He may not necessarily lose to Fang Yin."

  Gu Chao listened to these people's discussions, and it wasn't just himself who had encountered strange occurrences. People like Murong Ying, Fang Yin, and Lin Yuan had all experienced them too. But that was what made things interesting - the world was supposed to be full of wonders. Now he was only at the fourth layer of the Post-Heaven realm, and his own path still stretched far ahead.

  Work hard slowly, one day you will surpass everyone, Gu Chao has such confidence!

  Just as they were listening to the gossip, a tall and thin boy and a white and chubby boy walked into the cafeteria together. Weren't these two Gu Ren and Luo Tao from the same dormitory? Their faces seemed to show an extremely depressed look. Gu Chao waved his hand: "Over here, over here."

  Gao Ren and Luo Tao saw Gu Chao here, and immediately sat down.

  Because of living in the same dorm for five months, the relationship between the three is now quite good.

  Gu Chao saw that both of them had gloomy faces and couldn't help but ask: "What happened?"

  Gao Ren said with a gloomy face: "Just now, I went to the girls' dormitory with Luo Tao to see the sisters. As a result, the three brothers of Feng's family came. The three brothers of Feng's family came and provoked us. Then, in a fit of anger, I agreed to have a 3-on-3 dormitory battle with them on the challenge stage tomorrow."

  Feng family's three brothers? Gu Chao remembered.

  Feng Jia's three brothers, namely Feng Pingfeng, Feng Pinglin and Feng Pinghuo, are among the sixty-one people in Xin Xue Mountain Villa. They live in dormitory thirteen. Gao Ren, Luo Tao and Gu Chao live in dormitory seven.

  Mount Tai is known for its famous mountains and rivers, with a thicker atmosphere than other places, making it easy to find various medicinal herbs and rare beasts. One time, Gao Ren, Luo Tao, and Gu Chao went down the mountain to play and stumbled upon a first-class inferior herb called Moonlight Grass, which had a faint moonlight glow on its surface and some medicinal effects. After getting the Moonlight Grass, the three immediately returned to Zhongxi Peak, planning to sell it and split the silver among themselves. At that time, they thought their luck was not bad, encountering good fortune when they went out. However, they soon ran into the three brothers from the 13th dormitory, Feng Jia. As soon as they saw the Moonlight Grass, they took action, and Gao Ren, Luo Tao, and Gu Chao were unable to resist, resulting in the Feng brothers snatching away the Moonlight Grass.

  Of course, fellow disciples cannot rob each other, but this matter reached Elder Nan Gongyuan. However, the three Feng brothers refused to admit that they had robbed the Moonlight Grass, and instead claimed that they were the first to discover it, while Gao Ren, Luo Tao, and Gu Chao came to steal it. In the end, Elder Nan Gongyuan was unable to do anything about it and punished both sides.

  From then on, the seventh dormitory and the thirteenth dormitory had a grudge against each other and didn't get along. Gao Ren, Luo Tao, and Gu Chao were not only robbed of their medicine, but also injured, and they had been furious for a long time, this was an old grievance.

  In that battle, Gu Chao was also injured by Feng Jia's third son, Feng Pinghuo.

  But now? Gu Chao already knows that Gao Ren likes a girl named Zhu Dan from the girls' dormitory. It's said that Feng Pingfeng, the eldest of the three Feng brothers, also likes this Zhu Dan girl. With just a little thought, it's clear what's going on - they're undoubtedly rivals in love, each other's emotional enemies.

  This is a new grudge.

  New grudges and old grievances all came flooding back, no wonder conflicts arose.

  Gu Chao was smiling slyly.

  The dormitory war is actually very simple. One dormitory has three people, and they compete against each other in a 3v3 match on the challenge platform in the training area, with the winner being the first to win two out of three rounds.

  Great!

  His own strength has recently made great progress, his internal power has been upgraded to the early stage of the fourth layer of the Hou Tian realm, and the 72 roads of knife method have also been practiced to a small success. His hands are itchy and unbearable, he doesn't know who to find to fight with. Now that the three brothers of the Feng family have come to his doorstep, haha, it's not good if he doesn't give them a good fight, it would be unforgivable to himself.

  Especially Feng Jia Lao San Feng Ping Huo, his own strength was not enough last time, and he was injured in his hands. Although it was not a real test assessment, it was not within the scope of his own invincibility, but in fact, it was also a great shame.

  Now, I must avenge this grudge, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of his previous "kindness" in injuring himself?

  Gu Chao's blood was boiling, and a strong desire for battle surged throughout his body.

  。。。。。。

  Gao Ren and Luo Tao had no appetite due to the 3v3 dormitory battle challenge tomorrow, so they simply ate lunch and then returned to their No. 7 dormitory for a pre-battle meeting.

  Gao Ren said: "Actually, we are at a disadvantage this time. As far as I know, the strength of the three Feng brothers is: Feng Jia Lao Da Feng Pingfeng is in the fourth layer of the Post-Heaven Realm, late stage; Feng Jia Lao Er Feng Pinglin is in the fourth layer of the Post-Heaven Realm, middle stage; and Feng Jia Lao San is also in the fourth layer of the Post-Heaven Realm, late stage. The strength of all three brothers is very strong."

  "Relatively speaking, on our side, I am in the Post-Heaven Realm's 4th layer late stage, Luo Tao is in the Post-Heaven Realm's 4th layer initial stage, and Gu Chao you are in the Post-Heaven Realm's 3rd layer initial stage. This battle won't be easy to fight."

  Gao Ren said: "Now in this third battle, I must win against Feng Pingfeng."

  Luo Tao nodded: "I will definitely win against Feng Jia's second son, Feng Pinglin."

  Gao Ren and Luo Tao did not pin their hopes on Gu Chao, after all, he was only a third-layer early-stage cultivator in the Post-Heaven Realm, facing off against Old Third Feng Pinghuo, who was a fourth-layer late-stage cultivator in the Post-Heaven Realm. The gap between them was too great, and there wasn't even a 50% chance of winning. Therefore, Gao Ren and Luo Tao thought that if they won two out of three rounds, Gu Chao wouldn't need to take the stage.

  Gu Chao smiled secretly in his heart and didn't explain how much his current strength had increased.

  It doesn't matter what people say now, tomorrow I will defeat Feng Qing by a wide margin, as long as I can really do it.

  It is better to do than to say.

  Gu Chao had already discovered that his blood was flowing faster and his heart beating more rapidly.

  Want to fight, want to fight, want to fight by myself.

  That's right, in several critical scenes, such as the wooden puppet alley and obtaining the mysterious dagger, it was all about passing with observational skills and wisdom.

  However, I am a young person, and young people have the passion of youth.

  I also want to use the long knife in my hand to defeat my opponent directly.

  Everything will be alright tomorrow.

  (Um, one more update at dawn, seeking recommendation votes, tomorrow's challenge stage hot-blooded battle chapter.)
