On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

Chapter 265: Xu Zhiyuan Is Back!

---

Disciple Lian Feng has challenged you.

Do you accept the challenge?

[Yes] [No]

Note: Points will be deducted after you accept the challenge.

Chen Tian looked at his token with a puzzled expression as words appeared on it.

'That's interesting.' He had never seen this before. He now understood how challenges were initiated in the sect.

Despite his amusement at Lian Feng's bold challenge—considering he barely knew the man and harbored no enmity towards him—it seemed as if Lian Feng believed Chen Tian had committed a grave offense.

Despite his confusion, Chen Tian decided to refuse the challenge, seeing no point in fighting someone with whom he had no personal dispute.

Chen Tian shook his head inwardly, finding the whole situation pointless. Why bother fighting someone he barely knew and had no issues with? It just didn't make sense to him.

It wasn't a novel where people killed others just for breathing…

Right? Or maybe!

Perhaps Lian Feng thought him an easy target, which wasn't entirely incorrect.

Among those present, Chen Tian's cultivation was only at the 3rd Stage Qi Refinement Realm, making him seem an unlikely match for Lian Feng, who was in the top 100 Outer Disciples.

"I re—"

'Hm?'

Just as Chen Tian was about to refuse Lian Feng's challenge, he heard a familiar voice in his head.

He frowned inwardly at the voice's proposal, but after a moment's consideration, he sighed.

"I agree."

"…"

Everyone inside the pill hall was left with their mouths hanging open in shock. They couldn't believe that Chen Tian had actually agreed to fight Lian Feng.

The atmosphere in the room shifted from interest to shock as they observed Chen Tian's expression.

The moment Chen Tian agreed, his sect token flashed, indicating his acceptance of the challenge.

Match Time: 3 Days, 4:00 PM

Lian Feng (100) Vs Chen Tian (30,000)

---

A timer appeared on both his and Lian Feng's tokens, counting down the moments until the appointed time for the duel.

"Is this guy an idiot? Can't he see the difference in their levels?"

"Sh*t, that guy's going to get destroyed," whispered one sect member to another.

"Hahaha, good for him for having confidence, but he's going to regret challenging someone so much stronger than him," laughed another sect member.

The atmosphere was a mix of disbelief and amusement at Chen Tian's decision. The disparity between rank 30,000 and the top 100 was stark; to the disciples present, the outcome of this duel was already decided.

"Good, it seems you're not a coward at least. See you at the arena in three days, trash." Lian Feng, having nothing more to discuss with Chen Tian, smirked confidently as he walked away, leaving Chen Tian standing there.

He couldn't act against Chen Tian outside the duel arena, as fighting among disciples was prohibited within the sect unless in an official duel.

The other sect members exchanged knowing glances, already anticipating the outcome of the fight.

As the tension in the room dissipated, it was clear that Chen Tian's bold decision would not go unnoticed, and his name would be known throughout the Outer Sect by tomorrow.

The mouse dared to challenge the lion, and the jungle laughed.

Everyone began to leave.

Chen Tian stood there, watching Lian Feng's retreating figure.

He remained calm and focused; though he appeared to be watching Lian Feng walk away, Chen Tian was talking with someone in his mind, he was actually communicating through telepathy with none other than his Master.

Yes, Xu Zhiyuan is back!

'Why did you want me to accept this challenge?' Chen Tian silently inquired in his mind.

"Hahaha, kid, you've surprised me again," Xu Zhiyuan replied with a chuckle in Chen Tian's mind.

He had just returned to the sect today, having been away for 5 months on a mission outside the Immortal Sword Sect.

Upon his return, he immediately reported his findings to the sect leader, as his mission was of great importance.

After debriefing the sect leader, Xu Zhiyuan went to visit his two disciples.

It had been 5 months since he last saw Chen Tian and Su Bingxin. Due to his mission, he was unable to train them or offer advice on their cultivation, which made him feel guilty for not fulfilling his duties as their master.

Finding Chen Tian and Su Bingxin within the sect wasn't difficult for someone of his cultivation level.

Su Bingxin was in the house he had arranged for them. Upon his arrival, he was astounded to find that Su Bingxin was training and had already mastered the first level of Sword Aura.

Her Sword Aura, icy and glittering in the sunlight, was a stark contrast to her gentle demeanor. Xu Zhiyuan felt a surge of pride, mixed with regret for not being there to witness her progress.

'I wonder what that other kid is doing?'

He was more interested in what Chen Tian was up to, as he knew that Chen Tian was far from normal.

He found him at Crimson Pill Peak, which piqued Xu Zhiyuan's curiosity about his presence there.

Xu Zhiyuan headed to the peak, and with his Divine Sense, he observed Chen Tian and a girl arguing, realizing Chen Tian was there at the request of Duan Shu. This was surprising, given his knowledge of that woman's personality.

'That woman asked Chen Tian to come here! That's unexpected,' Xu Zhiyuan thought to himself.

He watched quietly as the argument between Chen Tian and the girl escalated, finding the accusation of lying against Chen Tian ridiculous.

Xu Zhiyuan knew Chen Tian well enough to know that lying was not in his nature. Despite the escalating frustration, Chen Tian remained calm and composed.

He initially decided not to intervene, wanting to see how Chen Tian would handle the situation.

However, when Lian Feng challenged Chen Tian to a duel, Xu Zhiyuan was initially inclined to stop it, doubting Chen Tian's chances. But then, he noticed something astonishing.

'That kid's cultivation is—!'

Xu Zhiyuan was shocked to realize Chen Tian had reached the 2nd Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Amazed, Xu Zhiyuan couldn't believe his eyes. Chen Tian's rapid advancement was remarkable, suggesting an innate talent for cultivation.

Advancing from the Meridian Opening Realm (5th Stage) to the 2nd Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm in just 5 months was unheard of.

'Hahaha, good. Since he's already in the Foundation Establishment Realm, I can accelerate my plans for him.'

Deciding to let the duel proceed, Xu Zhiyuan immediately contacted Chen Tian, using his Divine sense to communicate silently through telepathy.
