Chapter 334: Raging Gods Fist, Water Evasion Pearl, Internal Sparring
Compared to the Heart Piercing Finger scroll that Chu Kuangren gained insights into in the Sky Heaven Palace, this scroll did not contain any form of peculiar maliciousness.
In retrospect, these characteristics seemed to be related to the techniques in the scrolls.
The Heart Piercing Finger was an Emperor Technique that was designed to target the Daoist core of one’s opponent. Considering how malicious it was as a technique, it would inevitably affect both its users and victims.
Having learned much from his experience in studying the Heart Piercing Finger, Chu Kuangren spent substantially less time deciphering this scroll. This time, he only took a little more than six hours.
Six hours to understand an Emperor Technique?
If words got out about this, it would shake the whole world. Not even an Emperor possessed such unrealistic comprehensive abilities.
However, only with the help of Meditational Clarity and his Transcendent Coalescence Daoist Physique could Chu Kuangren have achieved the impossible.
“Raging Gods Fist!”
This Emperor Technique was called the Raging Gods Fist!
It was a terrifying fist technique that focused on its user’s rage. The more anger the user possessed, the more deadly the power of this Emperor Technique would be.
Upon deciphering this Emperor Technique, Chu Kuangren could not help but feel a swell of anger boiling within him. He felt the need to fight someone.
However, Chu Kuangren took a deep breath and shut his eyes. With his Rocksteady Daoist Core, he was able to keep his anger under control.
Chu Kuangren then proceeded to unfold his Fantasy Roulette and initiated today’s gacha roll.
“Congratulations, Host. You’ve obtained a Starlight Grade item, Water Evasion Pearl!”
Water Evasion Pearl?
Chu Kuangren began to read the item’s description.
‘Living up to its name, the Water Evasion Pearl allows its user to walk freely underwater and grant a certain level of resistance to water-based attacks.”
“Hmm, seems like a decent item.”
Chu Kuangren nodded and he was quite content with his reward. It was just a matter of time before unique items such as these could be put to great use, just like the Great Shift Talisman.
In the days after he had become a Supreme Honorable, Chu Kuangren remained in the Black Heaven Sect instead of wandering around.
He busied himself with many activities, such as discussing internal affairs with Elder Ruyan and his advisers, exploring the issue of cultivating spiritual grains with Fairfrost Sage, and conducting harsh training routines for Nangong Huang and the other disciples…
After much time had passed, Chu Kuangren had solidified his roots in the Supreme Honorable realm, whereas Nangong Huang and the other disciples were seeing substantial improvements in their abilities too.
To Chu Kuangren’s surprise, the disciples had not complained throughout their training session. Instead, they all seemed determined in completing the training.
This made Chu Kuangren reluctant to train them too harshly.
Aside from Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, and the usual disciples, even Lan Yu had volunteered to participate in this training routine. She was working harder than the rest, leaving each training session with injuries all over her body. Chu Kuangren could feel his heart aching at the sight of it.
“Lil Bing, what do you think happened to Lan Yu, Nangong Huang, and the others? Why are they so determined?”
On a mountain peak, Chu Kuangren was scratching his head as he observed the disciples battling with his sword qi clone.
“I believe everyone wants to become stronger,” Lil Bing replied.
“Well, of course they do, that’s the point of training. What I’m asking is where did they have that sudden urge to become stronger?”
Chu Kuangren rolled his eyes and said.
“I’m afraid you’ll have to ask them yourself, Sect Leader.”
Lil Bing laughed.
Since Lil Bing trained occasionally with Lan Yu and the other disciples, she was more or less familiar with what they were thinking.
The incident at the First City had given them huge motivation to become stronger.
The disciples wished to catch up to Chu Kuangren’s abilities in hopes that they would one day become his equal. That way, they would not have to hide behind Chu Kuangren’s back and watch as he faced formidable opponents alone anymore.
“Never mind, then. There’s no harm in wanting to become stronger anyway, and I shouldn’t ask too many questions.” Chu Kuangren gave it some good thought before putting the question aside.
Indeed, Chu Kuangren could only benefit from such a situation. Once these disciples matured, he no longer needed to face every issue alone, and by then, Chu Kuangren would gladly retire in peace.
The mere thought of no longer having to deal with the heavy burdens that were associated with a Sect Leader granted Chu Kuangren much relief.
“By the way, Master, the internal sparring is going to take place tomorrow. Are you interested in watching?” Lil Bing said abruptly.
“I discussed this with Elder Ruyan and the others yesterday. I guess there’s no harm in checking it out.”
Chu Kuangren said with a smile.
The internal sparring was an event held frequently by many orthodoxies. It was no more than a group of disciples gathering at a venue to spar, and the winners would not only be rewarded but would also be promoted to a True Disciple.
On the next day.
A crowd was congregating in front of the Longevity Hall.
Countless disciples had gathered to participate in the internal sparing.
Following the Black Heaven Sect’s recent reputation, internal sparring like this was bound to be attractive. Those chosen from such an event were the best amongst the best, and candidates who were picked to be True Disciples were at least a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Moreover, the journey would not end once they become a True Disciple. Occasionally, a test would be held amongst the True Disciples where the weakest of cultivators would be demoted to a normal disciple.
It was only through such means that the Black Heaven Sect could maintain a healthy level of competition among their disciples. Competition would only improve the quality of their disciples.
As time passed, the internal sparring had gone on three days now.
At last, four winners were selected from the internal sparring. These cultivators would be rewarded and promoted into becoming True Disciples of the Black Heaven Sect.
Following their traditions, Chu Kuangren would play his role as the Sect Leader to distribute gifts to these disciples for an extra dose of motivation.
When Chu Kuangren appeared outside the Longevity Hall, the sight of him excited the disciples who had been waiting eagerly for a while.
“Look, it’s Sect Leader!”
“Wow, the more I see him, the better Sect Leader looks. I’ll never get tired of that face.”
“Indeed, he’s so handsome.”
“I heard that our Sect Leader has caused quite a commotion in the First City for the sake of our Daoists. The First City and the Sky Emperor Palace were forced to issue an open apology. Look how amazing he is!”
“Not only is Sect Leader good looking, but he’s also powerful. I’ll be so happy if I get to stand close to him.”
“I’m so envious of those four inner disciples who get to stand so close to the Sect Leader.”
The disciples were talking excitedly to each other outside the Longevity Hall.
Then, an elder stood up and stared sternly at all the disciples. “Silence!”
It was then when the crowd finally quieted down.
After that, Chu Kuangren began to hand out the awards to the four excellent inner disciples.
“Inner disciple, Hua Ruyu, please step onto the stage.”
Chu Kuangren said calmly.
A girl dressed in red stepped forward. Perhaps she was overly excited, her face was completely red when she approached Chu Kuangren.
‘Gosh, I’m only one step away from the Sect Leader.’
‘His aura is so soothing.’
Chu Kuangren was not aware of what Hua Ruyu was thinking as he proceeded to pass her the reward. He smiled and said, “I hope you’ll keep this up.”
“Yes, Sect Leader. I-I’ll try my best.”
Hua Ruyu said in excitement.
“That’s great.”
Chu Kuangren looked through her with the Eye of Revelation and noticed that she possessed decent talents. She probably had one of the greatest growth potentials amongst the other disciples.
Then, Chu Kuangren continued to award the other three disciples.
When a disciple who was called Zhao Tianlong came on the stage, Chu Kuangren squinted and a strange look appeared on his face.
