“And yet, he hasn’t broken any sect rules….”
Three days later, Bai Xiaochun stretched his right arm to loosen it up, then let out a cold harrumph. Having cleared all of the Outer Sect disciples’ fight challenges, he looked around at the tens of thousand of people surrounding him, and could tell that they wouldn’t let him leave.
After a moment of silence, he chuckled. “Well, since you’re going to be like that, don’t blame me for what happens next.”
It was at that moment that his normal cautiousness faded, and the same veins of steel appeared that had been present in the fight with the Luochen Clan!
Even as the crowd looked on with bloodshot eyes, he selected a fight challenge from an Inner Sect disciple.
All eyes were completely focused on the trial platform as a figure materialized. It was a gaunt young man who, the moment he appeared, threw his head back and laughed uproariously.
“Bai Xiaochun, today I will–”
BOOM!
Before he could even finish speaking, Bai Xiaochun was right in front of him, unleashing a fist strike. The gaunt young man’s eyes went wide as he sailed through the air and then slammed into the shield surrounding the trial platform, where he slumped down, unconscious.
The audience gasped, and their eyes went wide. Bai Xiaochun stood there with a placid expression on his face as he pulled out a second paper crane from an Inner Sect disciple. Moments later, the second Inner Sect disciple appeared on the platform. In the blink of an eye, a fist flashed, and he was unconscious. Then, Bai Xiaochun pulled out a third challenge….
It took one day for him to accept the challenge cranes from a hundred Inner Sect disciples. All of them were in the eighth level of Qi Condensation, and yet none of them could stand up to a single punch from Bai Xiaochun.
When evening fell, Bai Xiaochun chose to rest. He sat down cross-legged on the trial platform, surrounded by a furious crowd bent on preventing him from leaving if he tried.
The next day at dawn, Bai Xiaochun opened his eyes. Expression the same as ever, he selected a paper crane, and then once again set to work. Yet again, a hundred people couldn’t stand up to a single punch!
Day three. Day four. Day five….
Twenty days passed in which Bai Xiaochun accepted two thousand challenges from Inner Sect disciples. All of them were in the eighth level of Qi Condensation, and not a single one could stand up to his fist strike.
None of them even came close to qualifying.
Although it was certainly an impressive scene, the north bank disciples weren’t silenced yet, nor was their rage lessened.
It was on the twentieth day that Bai Xiaochun calmly produced a challenge letter belonging to someone in the ninth level of Qi Condensation. Soon, people were shocked to find out that Bai Xiaochun was so strong… that the disciples in the ninth level of Qi Condensation could only withstand two fist strikes before being knocked unconscious.
Some of them even coughed up mouthfuls of blood.
The north bank disciples were staggered, and many of them finally lapsed into silence. Even the four great Chosen, the Gongsun siblings, Xu Song, and finally Beihan Lie, couldn’t endure more than ten successive fist strikes.
Beihan Lie was utterly shocked to find that his Sunset Incantation couldn’t stand up to Bai Xiaochun at all!
The Gongsun siblings were astonished. They had been under the belief that they had experienced rapid advancement since the Chosen battles, but now they realized that Bai Xiaochun had advanced far, far more quickly than they had!
Xu Song faced Bai Xiaochun bitterly, and to him, it felt like standing in front of Ghostfang. The terror he felt was something he had never felt before in his life.
Ten fist strikes ended everything. Bai Xiaochun’s fleshly body was already in a position to make contact with the first shackle. After he reached the Undying Gold Skin level, he would be at the peak of the Dragon Mammoth Sea-Forming scripture, and would be on the verge of ascending to a higher level.
Such strength made him truly invincible to anyone under Foundation Establishment.
After seeing the four great Chosen fall, the other north bank disciples sat there silently, looking at Bai Xiaochun with complicated expressions. Although rage still burned in their hearts, at long last… they had to admit to his superiority!
In the cultivation world, respect was given to the strong and powerful. Bai Xiaochun had struck terror into the depths of their hearts, and as of this moment, had truly defeated the north bank disciples.
He was still their archenemy, but now, people wanted to work as hard as possible to surpass that archenemy!
It was hard to say who moved first, but soon, the crowd had parted to open a pathway leading toward the Beast Conservatory.

Chapter
124: Human Controlling Grand Magic
Bai Xiaochun was done fighting. When the north bank disciples opened up a path for him, he shook his head and, looking somewhat melancholy, slowly began to walk away.
Mixed emotions could be seen in the eyes of the disciples as they watched him go. Off in the distance, he sighed and swished his sleeve.
“It’s my fault,” he said. “I should have kept a lower profile. Ai.” Inwardly, he was feeling very pleased with himself, even excited. And yet, he maintained the melancholy, lonely look. He made a very bleak silhouette….
The disciples of the north bank were torn, and none of them were really sure what they were feeling. The Gongsun siblings, Xu Song and Beihan Lie didn’t want to give up so easily, and yet, they felt powerless.
They had worked hard to catch up to Bai Xiaochun, and even believed that they had surpassed him, only to find out that they had been left far behind. That feeling left them feeling very down.
Xu Song sighed. “Perhaps, years from now, it will be him or Ghostfang… who reaches the Legacy Echelon!”
The Gongsun siblings were thinking similar thoughts.
The only one who reacted differently was Beihan Lie, who stood there trembling, his hands clenched into fists. He would not give up. Could not give up. The memory of the Chosen battles was a like an invisible whip that constantly lashed at him.
Even as he gritted his teeth, a hand came to rest on his shoulder. It was none other than his Elder Brother Beihan Feng, the number one Chosen of Sunset Peak. He had long since arrived on the scene, and one of the paper cranes Bai Xiaochun had abandoned belonged to him.
After personally witnessing what Bai Xiaochun had accomplished over the past month or so, Beihan Feng knew very well that he himself… was not a match for Bai Xiaochun. And he was in the tenth level of Qi Condensation.
Because of Bai Xiaochun’s terrifying fleshly body power and indescribable speed, he knew that he would be crushed as easily as a dried twig.
“Big bro….” Beihan Lie said.
“Your latent talent exceeds mine,” Beihan Feng said encouragingly. “Work hard at your cultivation. Temporary setbacks don’t mean anything. Some members of the senior generation who are now in the Legacy Echelon were nobodies back when they were in Qi Condensation or Foundation Establishment. They worked for years to prepare themselves to become the ultimate Chosen of their generation.” Although those words had been spoken to his Junior Brother, they were meant for himself.
Beihan Lie stood there quietly for a long moment before nodding.
