Become Eternals

Ayo!

Three days later. Dawns.

Bai Xiaochun's eyes opened at sunrise. He took a deep breath, and a serious expression could be seen on his face. This was the first time he had entered a competition like this.

His battle from the very beginning with Xu Baocai actually did not count as much as a battle. However, now that he was going to participate in the competition of the Cloud Peak Outer Fragrant Sect, he was going to actually fight against his fellow sect members.

He slowly got up, arranged his handbag, and then sadly walked out of his residence. But moments later, he ran back and began searching under his bed until he found the leather coat he still had in the past in the Ovens. After putting on several layers, he then placed his jade pendant somewhere he could easily access.

If not for the fact that it would raise too many questions, he would have placed a turtle frying pan on his back.

“Ah, why didn't I think of this before!” thought sorry. “I can't believe I forgot about my big black skillet.” However, he ran out of time, and had no choice but to grit his teeth, turn around, and leave. Looking at the distant sun, his eyes were filled with determination. Puffing out his chest, he began to climb to the top of the mountain.

Right now, he was wearing too many layers of leather clothing. Even though he wasn't wearing a big black skillet, he still looked like a glutinous dumpling…. He was bundled so tightly that after walking for only a short while, he had already started to sweat.

However, even if he sweated more, he would not take off a single piece of clothing. The competition was too important, and he could not stop thinking about how brutal it was. As he walked along the path, he suddenly realized that the morning was quite foggy on the mountain, and he actually did not know where exactly he was.

“Did I turn wrong..?” he thought, and immediately looked for someone to ask for directions. At the same time, his heart started pounding for fear of being late.

**

At the top of Fragrant Cloud Peak was a battle arena, where the competition would take place. Quite a number of people had already gathered there to watch the event, and chatted in whispering tones.

There were even some disciples among the audience who were at the fifth level of Qi Condensation, although most of them stood there with their hands folded on their chests as they looked at the Junior Brothers and Sisters who were about to participate in the competition. Of course, there were also people there to encourage his friends.

This Outer Sect Competition was not very formal, but it was a place where participants could stand out from the crowd. There were about twenty people who came to take part in the competition, all of them sitting in the cross-legged area in meditation, preparing earnestly to start the battle.

No one in the competition was at the third level of Qi Condensation. Although the rules allowed for it, most of the people who actually entered the competition were at the fifth level of Qi Condensation, even though there were five or six who were at the fourth level.

There was a young woman among the group who stood out from the rest. She was tall and beautiful, and her Outer Sect disciples uniform could not hide her plump form. Anyone who saw it would not be able to stop from daydreaming.

Her skin was white like snow, and she had eyebrows that were gracefully curved like willow leaves. She's really very pretty. As for the Daoist trousers he was wearing, despite being loose, the pants were stretched tightly on his back so that it was almost impossible for anyone to turn away.

There were several Outer Sect disciples swarming around him, obviously his admirers.

Although he could not compare to Zhou Xinqi, he was still one of the most famous Outer Sect disciples, Du Lingfei.

“Cultivation base Brother Du is in the big circle of the fifth level of Qi Condensation, so he will definitely occupy the first position in this competition. There is not even any tension in this matter. ”

“But you can't underestimate Big Brother Chen Zi’ang. I heard that he had a breakthrough cultivation base last month. He might not be in the great circle of the fifth level of Qi Condensation, but he was close. ” Standing not too far away from Du Lingfei was an arrogant-looking young man, Chen Zi’ang the same that was startled by Bai Xiaochun's bamboo outside the Mission Office that day.

Even as everyone was discussing the matter, Chen Zi’ang looked at Du Lingfei with a strange glint in his eyes. Even though he wasn't too confident to be able to take first place, he was quite confident he could take second place. Moreover, he might also be able to take advantage of the situation to get to know Du Lingfei better.

It was at this point that two beams of light whistled through the air from a distance. It was none other than Li Qinghou, followed by a skinny old man. The old man was dark-skinned, but his eyes shone brightly, and he looked like a very strict person.

The surrounding Outer Sect disciples were completely shocked to find that Li Qinghou would be present at the competition, and quickly joined hands as a greeting.

“Greetings, Mr. Peak. Greetings, Elder Sun. ” Everyone is flabbergasted that the Peak King will personally come to an event like this. A small competition like this was almost always led by Elder Sun.

Du Lingfei and Chen Zi’ang were also startled, and had very serious expressions on their faces as they bowed to greet Li Qinghou.

Li Qinghou looked around benevolently, nodding. As he scanned the crowd of disciples, however, he frowned when he realized that Bai Xiaochun was not there.

When the surrounding Outer Sect disciples saw Li Qinghou frowning, their hearts started pounding. Du Lingfei instantly started to get nervous, unsure why the Peak King might not be happy.

“Should we start, Mr Peak?” asked Elder Sun, who was standing beside Li Qinghou.

“I'm lost!” bai Xiaochun shouted while running. “It's too foggy...” Not only was Bai Xiaochun extremely nervous, he also felt that the entire situation was extremely unfair. After all, he was not too familiar with all the mountain paths, and given how foggy the path was, he simply got lost while thinking.

As soon as those words came out of his mouth, all of the Outer Sect disciples involuntarily looked over. There were a few of them who were familiar with Bai Xiaochun, and when they heard the words he called out, they started to chuckle. As for those who did not know him, they frowned, and a radiance of scorn could be seen in their eyes.

As far as they were concerned, the only reason he got lost on the way to the competition was because he rarely climbed to the top of the mountain, and did not care much about the competition the sect held. Most likely, he was just used to walking around for pleasure.

Du Lingfei looked at him, and remembered him as one of the people who had chased after Zhou Xinqi recently. Supposedly, he had worked hard to catch that great bandit chicken. Du Lingfei immediately turned around in disdain, not even willing to look at him.

Chen Zi’ang looked at Bai Xiaochun with great surprise, and could not help but glance at Li Qinghou. He did not forget what Bai Xiaochun said in the Mission Office about Li Qinghou as his uncle. That would explain why Li Qinghou was frowning now, and after analyzing the matter, he realized that when fighting Bai Xiaochun, he had to be careful not to beat him too badly.

Li Qinghou gave a cold snort, staring at Bai Xiaochun for a moment before nodding at Elder Sun.

Elder Sun looked at Bai Xiaochun seriously for a moment, then laughed and waved his sleeve. “Very good. All disciples who wish to participate in the Outer Sect's battle competition, please enter the arena. ”

Seeing Li Qinghou's sharp gaze made Bai Xiaochun feel more than ever that the situation was completely unfair. However, he did not dare to voice his feelings. As soon as those words came out of Elder Sun's mouth, Bai Xiaochun was the first disciple to jump onto the platform, chest raised proudly, and his, it looked as if the dagger mountain range and sea of fire could not override his honor.

Soon, all the contestants were in the arena. Including Bai Xiaochun, there were a total of twenty.

The rules for this kind of competition are pretty loose. Elder Sun looked at the contestants for a moment, then took out a small sack of cloth, inside which was a bunch of marbles with numbers on it. One by one, the competitors lined up to pick up the marbles, which would show their battle sequences.

Bai Xiaochun did not manage to be the first. He was stuck in the middle, and when he took out his marble, there was a number 11 written on it.

“Alright,” Elder Sun said coldly. “Now, everyone is retreating so that the first match can start. Fighters number one and two, get ready to start! ” Bai Xiaochun and the others quickly left the fighting arena, while the disciples with the number one and two marbles remained. As the two stared at each other, a bright light began to shine in their eyes.

Immediately they started fighting, and the sound of a thunderous battle sounded. Meanwhile, Bai Xiaochun's mind raced. He kept telling himself that, considering there were twenty people in this competition, all he had to do was win twice to enter the top 5. He also wondered who got marbles number twelve, but no one was willing to reveal to everyone which number they had, he said, it made it almost impossible for him to determine who he was going to fight.

Even as his spirit began to drop, the first match ended, and the second one began. Du Lingfei was one of the fighters in this match, and he immediately made a spell move, causing a banner to fly, which then turned into a stream of mist enveloping his opponent. After struggling a little, the disciple could not escape, and conceded, filled with admiration for Du Lingfei.

The third and fourth matches went on quite quickly, and when it came time for the fifth match, Chen Zi’ang ensured a quick and efficient victory over a disciple at the fourth level of Qi Condensation.

“Fighters number eleven and twelve, go ahead and let the match begin,” cried Elder Sun. Bai Xiaochun took a deep breath and walked forward, a very serious expression on his face. After setting foot into the arena, he discovered that his opponent was a tall skinny young man with a cold smile on his face.

His cultivation base was incredible, at the fifth level of Qi Condensation. His eyes shone like lightning, and on the whole, he looked like the type of person that could not be taken lightly.

“Alright, Young Brother,” the skinny young man said, his voice cold, “You were unlucky to meet me in the first round. It's not too late to give up. If not, you will have to take responsibility for yourself if you get hurt. ”

However, the moment those words came out of the young man's mouth, Bai Xiaochun suddenly let out a powerful roar.

The roar was so powerful that everything shook, and some of the spectators were shocked. The skinny youth was also startled, and even retreated a little without even thinking about it, staring at Bai Xiaochun with wide eyes.

After roaring, Bai Xiaochun slapped his jade pendant, causing a green light to surround him. But it did not make him feel safe, so he took out a large pile of paper talismans, which he quickly attached to his entire body. Every time he did, they would emit a powerful light, until he was covered with no less than ten individual shields. Their combined strength turned into a protective wall nearly one and a half meters thick. From a distance, the sight was truly shocking.

Because of all the protective shields, Bai Xiaochun's next shout was actually slightly muffled.

“Alright, come!”

The skinny young man was still staring blankly at Bai Xiaochun, and not just him. The other Outer Sect disciples, including the other contestants, all gaped in shock. As long as they observed a competition like this, they had never seen anyone use a protective shield in such a way.

Li Qinghou's face twitched, but from the look in his eyes, it was obvious he could do nothing.

Chen Zi’ang took a deep breath as he grew increasingly convinced that Bai Xiaochun and Li Qinghou were actually brothers. However, Du Lingfei only exclaimed coldly, and his ridicule increased.

Everyone watched with wide eyes as the skinny young man in the arena let out his own roar, then made a two-handed incantation move, causing the wooden sword to fly straight towards Bai Xiaochun.
