Martial Sage from the Vajra Skill

Chapter 289: Chapter 165: Rewrite

For example, the Gang Qi cultivated from Li Chuyang’s Three Yin Silver Palace Profound Gang True Technique is silver, and the Gang Qi from our Purple Sun Sect’s Purple Sun Scripture is purple.

Then there’s Medicine King Peak’s Cyan Wood Technique, which cultivates cyan Gang Qi.

In the Jianghu, techniques such as the Golden Gang Skill, Celestial Spirit Body Refining Technique, and Vajra Indestructible Body all cultivate golden Gang Qi..."

Du Chuan was incredibly knowledgeable, rattling off a dozen or so cultivation techniques that produce uniquely colored Gang Qi, including the Golden Gang Skill that Xu Yang practiced.

The crowd of Outer Disciples listened, their eyes shining. The techniques sounded extraordinary, and they wished they could cultivate them.

"Young Master Du, are all the techniques that produce uniquely colored Gang Qi stronger than those that produce red Gang Qi?" someone took the opportunity to ask.

Du Chuan shook his head. "Of course not. Jiang Fan’s Nine Revolutions Blood Coagulation Battle Gang produces red Gang Qi, yet the density of his Gang Qi is in no way weaker than Li Chuyang’s silver Gang Qi.

Of course, techniques that produce uniquely colored Gang Qi are generally Superior Techniques or even Township-level Secret Martial Arts. Techniques that produce red Gang Qi, on the other hand, vary greatly in quality."

On the tournament stage, the battle between Jiang Fan and Li Chuyang reached a fever pitch. The two exchanged blows wildly, causing the stage to rumble and sink a foot into the ground.

It was a good thing the stage was forged from various rare metals; otherwise, it would have been destroyed long ago.

After a grueling battle of three hundred moves, with both combatants exhausted, Jiang Fan was blasted off the stage by Li Chuyang. The third-ranked of the Ten Heroes had failed to rewrite the rankings.

Li Chuyang panted heavily, a grave expression in his eyes.

’I was the first to achieve Marrow Cleansing, yet it still took me over three hundred moves to defeat Jiang Fan. If we fought again, I’m not confident I would win. My victory was entirely due to taking advantage of the ring-out rule.’

As evening fell, the Outer Disciple Grand Competition concluded.

As expected, the top three spots were taken by Jiang Fan, Li Chuyang, and Du Chuan. Li Chuyang also defeated Du Chuan, taking first place without dispute.

Du Chuan took second place, as Jiang Fan did not challenge him and accepted third.

Lu Ren placed sixteenth, with Xie Zhan and Chen Yu ranked behind him. Aside from Jiang Fan and his two companions, none of the other Ten Heroes Geniuses broke into the top ten; fourth through tenth places were all claimed by senior disciples.

Xu Yang’s life returned to its regular routine. He would complete his tasks on Li Fire Peak during the day, comprehend the Fuyue Bear King’s Palm in the Peach Grove in the evening, and cultivate the Fuyue Bear Scripture and Yijing Marrow Cleansing in his room at night.

’My Marrow Cleansing is progressing so slowly. It’s been over two months since I broke through to this stage, and my progress is only at four hundred and thirty-seven. It’s as slow as a snail. At this rate, it’ll take me more than a year and a half to reach Marrow Cleansing Minor Achievement.’

In reality, this pace was already incredibly fast. People like Xiao Hua and Su Qiming had been at the Marrow Cleansing stage for over a decade without reaching Minor Achievement. The news that someone could reach Marrow Cleansing Minor Achievement in just a year and a half would shock countless people.

’If only I could get my hands on a Leopard Embryo Muscle-Toning Pill, a Dragon Tiger Great Golden Pill, or a Bear Marrow Cleansing Pill.’

’With a Bone Marrow Cleansing Elixir, my progress would speed up considerably. Unfortunately, Outer Disciples aren’t qualified to exchange for them. Even the auctions at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion don’t feature Bone Marrow Cleansing Elixirs.’

He felt his cultivation level was in danger of being surpassed by people like Jiang Fan and Li Chuyang. While he had no way to acquire Bone Marrow Cleansing Elixirs, people of their status were surely not lacking in them.

One day, as Xu Yang was coming down from Li Fire Peak, he heard a piece of news: some of the Dragon Ascending Disciples from the recent examinations had already arrived at the Purple Sun Sect.
