On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

Chapter 295: Chen Tian Vs Lian Feng (1)

"Sorry, I'm late."

Chen Tian wryly smiled; the others around the battle arena looked at him with curious eyes.

They all wanted to see who's that newcomer who accepted Lian Feng challenge.

Many spiritual senses were directed towards him, with onlookers trying to gauge his cultivation base.

With Chen Tian's strength, only someone who is in the Dao stages could sense his true power.

"So this is the guy who took up Lian Feng's challenge?"

"He doesn't look so bad; he's quite handsome!"

"So what if he is handsome? He is just in the Qi Refinement Realm!"

"He's really in the Qi Refinement Realm, is this guy crazy!"

Many astonished glances were exchanged among the Immortal Sword Sect disciples, especially when they realized that Chen Tian was just a Qi Refinement cultivator.

"So you didn't run away after all," Lian Feng sneered. He was relieved that Chen Tian arrived; otherwise, his deal with Wang Hao and Hu Jianyu would have fallen through.

Chen Tian's smile widened as he confidently replied, "I never back down from a challenge, especially not from someone like you."

"But you still came late," Lian Feng taunted, his smirk widening. "It seems like you're not as confident as you claim to be."

"Haha, sorry about that. I had forgotten about you; sometimes I don't bother to remember irrelevant people, that's why I forget that you had challenged me," Chen Tian chuckled, his eyes gleaming with amusement.

"My god, what did he just say!" The Immortal Sword Sect disciples watching from the sidelines gasped in shock.

Chen Tian's arrogance and dismissive attitude towards Lian Feng shocked everyone watching.

"Was this guy for real?"

"For a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator, he sure does have a lot of nerve," one disciple whispered to another.

Lian Feng's expression darkened at the insult.

His gaze immediately turned cold as he said, "I originally wanted to show you mercy since we are fellow disciples of the same sect. However, since you're like this, I won't hold back anymore!"

"Yeah, teach him a lesson, Senior Brother Feng!"

"Khyaa~ Senior Brother Feng, show him who's boss!"

Female disciples started cheering and encouraging Lian Feng.

The male disciples clicked their tongues in annoyance at the female disciples' fawning over Lian Feng.

Some of them rolled their eyes at the display, finding it all rather unnecessary. Chen Tian, on the other hand, simply watched with a small smirk playing on his lips.

"Good, I don't want you to hold back, then blame it on your loss," Chen Tian replied confidently, his eyes fixed on Lian Feng.

The tension in the air was palpable as the two faced off, the rest of the sect members watching with bated breath.

Chen Tian stepped onto the arena. Gao Shun coughed a little, catching Chen Tian's attention.

"So you're Chen Tian?"

Chen Tian nodded, a respectful smile on his face. "Yes, I am Chen Tian," he replied, bowing slightly. "It is an honor to meet you, Elder." The elder's eyes softened at the gesture, appreciating the young man's show of respect.

"Haha, good to see some manners in the younger generation," Gao Shun chuckled.

He already had a good impression of Chen Tian based on his polite demeanor.

"Okay, since you already arrived, let's not delay this match any longer. Show me your disciple token."

Chen Tian took out his token and gave it to Gao Shun, who examined it carefully before nodding in approval. "Very well, let's begin," he said, motioning for Chen Tian to take his stance.

Chen Tian didn't know what Gao Shun did, but he put both his token and Lian Feng's token beside each other and injected some of his Qi into them, causing them to glow faintly.

"WOOOMMM~~~!"

Gao Shun's figures floated above the arena as the formation activated, a thin blue barrier surrounding both of them, crackling with energy.

'Grade 7 Formation!' Chen Tian looked around as he realized the scale of the formation that Gao Shun had just activated.

'You newcomer, just wait. I'll make you understand the consequences of provoking me!' Lian Feng glared at Chen Tian as he muttered to himself.

He really wanted to kill Chen Tian.

"Since I am a respectable senior, I will let you make the first move, and I will not move," Lian Feng said calmly, his eyes fixed on Chen Tian.

"Are you sure?" Chen Tian asked, a hint of doubt in his voice.

"See, I prefer that Senior Lian Feng make the first move, it would be for the best."

Hearing Chen Tian's words, the disciples as well as Lian Feng's looked curiously at Chen Tian, wondering what he was planning.

Lian Feng had already given him a chance to show him some respect and let him move first, but it seemed as though Chen Tian was not willing to.

"Is this guy an idiot!"

"I don't know, Senior Lian Feng already gave him a free ticket, yet that guy refused. It's like he's asking for trouble," one of the disciples whispered.

"Aren't you too arrogant, newcomer!" Lian Feng remained calm, his expression unreadable as he observed Chen Tian with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Oh, no, not at all, I also want to give you the first move, Senior Lian Feng. I also need to show some face for my seniors, and if I move first, this match will end very quickly. How could I give face to my senior?" Chen Tian replied, his tone dripping with sarcasm.

"?(; °?°)"

All disciples gasped in surprise at Chen Tian's bold response to Lian Feng.

Lian Feng's brow furrowed slightly as he assessed Chen Tian's audacity.

"Very well," he replied coldly.

Lian Feng really wanted to slap that arrogant Chen Tian across the face. "Let's see if your words match your skills," Lian Feng challenged, a fire burning in his eyes.

He made the first move; he didn't release his cultivation base or use any cultivation techniques; his speed was enough to catch any Qi Refinement cultivator off guard.

Arriving beside Chen Tian in the blink of an eye, Lian Feng delivered a swift and powerful palm strike, aiming for Chen Tian's chest.

Chen Tian didn't react, and with this, Lian Feng thought that Chen Tian wasn't able to react because of his speed.

Even the other disciples thought the same thing. Even without using any spiritual Qi, the physical body of a Foundation Realm cultivator was enough to injure any Meridian Opening Realm cultivator.

Everyone thought that it was Chen Tian who would be the one to fall in the first move.

However, just as Lian Feng's palm was about to make contact, Chen Tian suddenly disappeared in a blur of movement.

In the next moment, Lian Feng felt the presence of someone behind him, a feeling of cold sweat breaking out on his back.

Spiritual Qi surged around his legs as he quickly moved, realizing that an attack would definitely be coming.

But to everyone's astonishment, Chen Tian only looked at Lian Feng with a smirk on his face, his hands raised in a non-threatening gesture.

"I told you, Senior Brother Lian Feng, it would be better for you to make the first move." He said confidently.
