Chapter 29 - The Arena

The sect master's dignified face was filled with an excited expression as if he was determined to restore the array in his cultivation room!

Su Hao looked at the sect master's appearance and knew that the movement of the breakthrough in the past three days must have reached the sect master's ears. The sect master should have been on edge for three days.

He looked at the sect master as he spoke while taking things out. There was a dazzling array of cinnabar, spiritual stones, more than a dozen types of black-grade spiritual plants, and a bowl of liquid that exuded a bloody scent.

Was this blood?

As the sect master laid out the materials one by one, Su Hao saw the scar on his wrist.

As the sect master finished his preparations, he started to set up the formation.

A moment later, a vast aura came out of the second-floor training room.

The formation had been restored, and it seemed to be several times more powerful than before.

Compared to the formation that was set up three days ago it was simply a world of difference!

It was like the difference between a cultivator at the Level 1 Qi Refinement Realm and a cultivator at the Enlightenment Realm Peak!

One was the yellow-grade, while one of them was a mighty figure, comparable to an earth-grade formation!

Su Hao could not help but think that this sect master must have a background. With such an ability in formations, he would probably be able to make a name for himself in the entire Central Province.

Just as Su Hao was thinking about the origin of the sect master, a wave of spiritual QI fluctuated on the second floor of the pavilion.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the entire pavilion was filled with a large amount of spiritual Qi. The spiritual Qi in the air also gathered in the sect master's hand.

The sect master was very focused as he placed dozens of spiritual stones on the lines of the array.

As the sect master waved his brush, a surging aura emanated from his body.

He finished the last stroke.

The formation was completed!

The sect master was gasping for breath. His forehead was full of sweat, but his expression was extremely excited. He said to Su Hao, "Su Hao, this time, even if you break through to the Level 6 Enlightenment Realm, it won't be a problem!"

Su Hao looked at the excited expression of the sect master and understood that the sect master's arrangement of the formation this time was extremely taxing on his mind.

The sect leader's aura was weak and haggard, but he was serious about his own safety and put in so much effort.

Su Hao noticed it. It would be a lie to say that he was not touched.

He looked at the sect master seriously and sincerely said, "Many thanks."

The sect master noticed Su Hao's serious expression.

The words 'many thanks' seemed to have hit his heart.

The sect master could not hide the smile on his face.

If the other elders were to see this scene, they would probably be so shocked by the sect master's expression that their eyes would pop out.

Was this shy sect master really their dignified sect master?

"Sigh, look at my memory. There's something important I forgot to tell you."

The sect master patted his head. Seeing Su Hao's cultivation progress, he was even more shocked by the phenomenon caused by Su Hao. He did not have a good rest for three days.

He recalled that an elder from the alchemy hall had looked for him today and said that he had found something strange about Lu Han.

The sect master looked serious and said to Su Hao, "Su Hao, Lu Han just came back from outside the sect today. His aura is very abnormal. Even the elders can't see what's wrong with him. You have to be careful."

Su Hao nodded and looked at the sect master who took out two bottles of pills and handed them to him.

They were all Foundation Establishment Pills.

"If it's not enough, tell me."

Su Hao could not help but laugh. It seemed that the sect master already knew that he wanted the Foundation Establishment Pills.

At this moment, the sect master directly stuffed two more bottles into his hands. Did he think that the other sect disciples would find it difficult to digest this violent Foundation Establishment Pills, so he gave it all to him?

"Let's go, I'll go with you to the arena."

The sect master said to Su Hao.

...

Myriad Immortal Sect, the arena.

The most attractive part of the tournament stage was the huge tournament stage in the center.

The platform was higher than the road, and the black and white stones formed a vague tai chi pattern.

There were a total of 18 stone pillars that the two of them could wrap their arms around, surrounding the stage.

The audience below the tournament stage was packed with people.

Almost 90% of the Myriad Immortal Sect's disciples had gathered in the arena.

Everyone wanted to witness the battle between the two disciples with the highest cultivation base of the Myriad Immortal Sect.

Lu Han, the disciple who was at the peak of the inner sect for a while, was known by almost everyone in the inner sect. His cultivation base was the highest. He was at the Qi Refinement Realm Peak!

All the disciples were guessing whether this Senior Brother Lu Han would be the first disciple to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm and become the sect's guest elder.

However, just three days ago, they heard that Lu Han's status as an inner sect disciple was denied because he offended a highly talented herb garden disciple!

Moreover, it was said that this herb garden disciple was extremely special. The disciples who had not seen him in the library pavilion three days ago had all rushed over.

The disciples around him were all talking about Su Hao.

"Senior brother, how heaven-defying is Senior Brother Su of the herb garden?"

"According to my master, he reached the Qi Refinement Realm Peak from the Level 1 Qi Refinement Realm Peak in ten minutes."

"It's fake, right!?"

"A breakthrough in one minute?!"

Everyone's eyes were wide open. They did not dare to believe that such a godly person really existed. In a place like theirs, a disciple who could break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in ten years was already considered a genius.

Breaking through from the Level 1 Qi Refinement Realm to the Qi Refinement Realm Peak in ten minutes?

All the disciples who had not personally witnessed the incident in the library pavilion wanted to see it for themselves.

"Hmph, breaking through a level in a minute. A member of an evil sect using an extremely evil method to break through, and you guys believe that?"

At this time, an extremely discordant voice came from the entrance of the arena and into everyone's ears.

Everyone looked at the gate of the arena.

"Lu Han?"

Some of the disciples had already recognized who the person was.

In the past three days, no one had seen Lu Han.

When they met again, everyone realized that Lu Han's originally pretty face had become a little sinister. His originally clear eyes were now a little fierce.

What happened to him? Why did he change so much?

All the inner sect disciples who were close to Lu Han could not help but have the same question in their hearts.

Of course, Lu Han's aura had become very unfamiliar.

Before anyone could react, Lu Han jumped up and landed in the center of the arena. He glanced outside the arena and shouted, "Where is Su Hao? Come out and accept your death!"

Lu Han's voice, which contained a surge of spiritual Qi, reverberated throughout the entire sect!

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Why did Lu Han have such a fierce aura? There was actually a killing intent.

They also realized that they could no longer see Lu Han's cultivation!

"How come I can't see his cultivation level?"

"Lu Han has broken through the Qi Refinement Realm Peak?!"

The other disciples who were also at the Qi Refinement Realm Peak were stunned when they felt Lu Han's aura.

"This is... Lu Han has already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm?"

On the judging panel, the third elder of the Myriad Immortal Sect, Nie Qiu, stood up immediately.

He was Lu Han's master. He looked very surprised. He knew very well what Lu Gan's talent was.

"How is this possible?!"

Elder Yun was also shocked by Lu Han's cultivation base. According to his deduction, with Lu Han's temperament, it was impossible for him to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

At this time, the two elders who had always been at odds with each other actually had the same idea at this time.

They could not help but suspect that Lu Gan had used some method. The fluctuations of spiritual power on his body seemed to be a little abnormal, but upon closer inspection, they seemed normal.

"Then... Su Hao is only at the Qi Refinement Realm Peak. What should we do?"

Elder Yun could not help but feel anxious as he muttered.

Thinking of Su Hao's cultivation, at this moment, Lu Han's aura was indeed at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

All the elders thought of this point and realized that Lu Han's cultivation had already reached the Foundation Establishment Realm. They could not help but worry for Su Hao.

Just when everyone was worried about Su Hao, an exclamation was heard from the crowd.

"Quickly look! The sect master is here!"

"Why is there another person in front of the sect master?!"

"It's the herb garden disciple, Su Hao!"

"He's Su Hao?!"

"he's actually walking in front of the sect master?!"

All the disciples looked at the two people who were walking in front of the arena.

Everyone had seen the sect leader of the Myriad Immortal Sect before. He was a tall, middle-aged man with a serious temperament. His every move carried an irresistible air. He was their sect master.

However, they had never seen their sect master, who was so lofty in their eyes, walking behind a young man.
