Chapter 12: The Challenge Lies at Hand

"You don't have to worry about that. You should just put away the explosive shell, just in case." Mo Qingcheng said. Seeing that Mo Qingcheng was so insistent, Yan Tianxiang had no choice but to put away the explosive bomb. After seeing Yan Tianxiang put away the explosive bomb, Mo Qingcheng finally revealed a smile on her face.

Duan Family, in Duan Chuchen's courtyard, Duan Chuchen was still unceasingly cultivating the "Mysterious Sky Spirit Seal". At this time, Duan Chuchen had already cultivated the fourth seal and was working on the fifth one. Duan Chuchen could clearly feel that his own cultivation had signs of a breakthrough, maybe he would be able to break through to the sixth level after this practice.

Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth rushed towards Duan Chuchen. The strong Spiritual Energy formed a strong seal on his arm that had been cut off from the mortal world.

The Spiritual Seal emitted a strong fluctuation of Spiritual Energy. If Duan Chuchen were to release this surge of Spiritual Energy, his strength would definitely increase greatly.

The fifth seal was opened, and Duan Chuchen felt a strong pain again. The pain continued to invade Duan Chuchen, and not long later, large drops of sweat fell from Duan Chuchen's forehead. Duan Chuchen clenched his teeth and tried his best to open up the position of the seal.

The appearance of this dent was very similar to the position of the Spirit Emblem. In between, more and more sweat dripped down from Duan Chuchen's forehead. Duan Chuchen clenched his teeth and the speed at which the powerful position of the Spirit Emblem was being excavated.

"Phew ~" A stream of air was emitted from Duan Chuchen's body. Duan Chuchen immediately felt relaxed and finally, the Spiritual Seal that Duan Chuchen had condensed was embedded in the position of the Spiritual Seal. The dent formed by the Spiritual Seal's position on Duan Chuchen's arm also disappeared, as if it had never appeared on his arm.

When the "Mysterious Sky Spirit Emblem" was cultivated to the position of Spirit Emblem, the indentations on it could not be seen, and only showed up when the "Mysterious Sky Spirit Emblem" was used.

Duan Chuchen had finally successfully cultivated the fifth seal. He was now a big step away from the first stage of the "Mysterious Sky Spirit Seal". He was only four more Spiritual Seals away from success.

After cultivating the fifth seal, all the spiritual energy in Duan Chuchen's body disappeared. Duan Chuchen continued to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and after transforming the Purplish Red Virtual Small Sword into his own spiritual energy, he began to recover. In less than two hours, Duan Chuchen had already recovered to his peak condition.

Feeling that his cultivation was about to break through, Duan Chuchen felt a surge of excitement and started to cultivate harder.

One day later, Duan Chuchen was able to condense another seal. When Duan Chuchen recovered his spiritual energy, he felt that the spiritual energy in his body had reached saturation state.

"Hua!" In an instant, Duan Chuchen gathered his aura and broke through the shackles. His cultivation grew once again, reaching the level 6 of the entry level.

Time passed day by day as Wu Tie continuously practiced the "Mysterious Sky Spirit Seal". At this moment, there was still one last day before the battle between Duan Chuchen and Yan Tianxiang.

In the last day, Duan Chuchen finally successfully cultivated nine Spiritual Seals and reached the first level of the "Mysterious Sky Spiritual Seal".

At this moment, Duan Chuchen began to stimulate the Spiritual Seals in his arm, and instantly, nine marks appeared on Duan Chuchen's arm. At this moment, Duan Chuchen began to stimulate the Spiritual Seals in his arm, and instantly, nine marks appeared on Duan Chuchen's arm.

"Insects Awaken Swordship!" Duan Chuchen instantly used his own sword technique and slashed out continuously. Whoosh. One after another, the sound of a treasure sword tearing through the air could be heard.

"The Sword Qi in the yard is really powerful!" "Plop, plop, plop!" Every time Duan Chuchen slashed with his sword, a strong wave of sword qi would be sent out.

Streams of sword qi unceasingly slashed at the ground. On the walls of the courtyard, there were even many scars that were two meters long. It was an extremely terrifying sight to behold.

Duan Chuchen felt that under the effects of the nine Spiritual Seals, his attack power had increased at least twofold, which made Duan Chuchen very satisfied.

Duan Chuchen slashed out again and again with his sword, 20 times … Forty Swords... Seventy strikes, the ninety-eighth attack of the last 'Insects Awaken Swordship'.

"Pfft!" A powerful sword qi burst out and instantly chopped the wall in the small courtyard into two. Such powerful might scared even Duan Chuchen.

With the completion of the "Insects Awaken Swordship", the power of the "Mysterious Sky Spirit Seal" had also disappeared into Duan Chuchen's body, and his back was drenched in sweat.

At this moment, Duan Chuchen felt that he had exhausted himself to the extreme. Without any energy or spiritual force, Duan Chuchen just directly fell to the ground and passed out with his eyes closed.

At this moment, Duan Chuchen was in a coma. The Purplish Red Virtual Small Sword in his body started to operate automatically. The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth started to gather towards Duan Chuchen. Duan Chuchen's fatigue was quickly disappearing and the Spiritual Energy in his body was gradually recovering. In two hours, he had returned to his peak condition.

Duan Chuchen slowly opened his eyes and found that the spiritual energy in his body had already recovered to its peak. He was extremely surprised: Am I able to recover my spiritual energy just by sleeping?

Tomorrow was the day of his battle with Yan Tianxiang. At this moment, he had used up all the power of the Spirit Emblem. Duan Chuchen prepared for tomorrow's battle and started to quickly form a Spirit Emblem.

Duan Chuchen had already carved out his own position of Spiritual Seal. When condensing Spiritual Seals, as long as it was within his own position, he could condense a Spiritual Seal. In less than an hour, there were already many Spiritual Seals within Duan Chuchen's position.

Everything was ready for Duan Chuchen to go. He returned to his room and fell asleep on his bed. The whole night passed silently …

On the second day, when the sun had just risen, Baiming City had set the foot of White Maple Mountain full of people. These people had all come to watch after receiving the news that Duan Chuchen was challenging Yan Tianxiang.

At this time, Duan Chuchen had already arrived at the foot of the White Maple Mountain and was waiting for Yan Tianxiang's arrival. Duan Tianyang, who was in the middle of the crowd, was wearing a set of ordinary clothes as he hid in the crowd.

Duan Tianya knew that before Duan Chuchen reached Foundation Establishment, it was very likely that someone from Yan Family had sent experts to assassinate Duan Chuchen. Therefore, Yan Family would definitely send out experts to kill Duan Chuchen, so Duan Tianya asked Duan Tianyang to protect Duan Chuchen in secret, and Yan Family also had experts to protect Yan Tianxiang.

Time passed day by day, but Yan Tianxiang still hadn't arrived yet. At this time, the crowd was discussing something.

"Didn't you say that Duan Chuchen is a trash? "He did not even have a rank 1 cultivation when he entered the Foundation Establishment stage, and now he actually challenged young master Yan Tianxiang. Isn't this courting death?"

"You don't know about that, do you? "I heard that Duan Chuchen's inability to reach Foundation Establishment is just a rumor. It has been ten days since then, and young master Duan Chuchen has already reached Entry Level 4."

"Entry level 4!" Are you kidding me? It seemed like Duan Chuchen was just a piece of trash. When the most talented young master Yan Tianxiang was at the Foundation Establishment stage, he had only reached the peak of the seventh level. This Duan Chuchen was not even thirteen years old yet, yet he was already at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul Stage? "In my opinion, this is simply impossible."

Hearing the discussions of the crowd, most of them were looking down on Duan Chuchen. However, Duan Chuchen wasn't angry at all. He thought in his heart: "Just watch. Whether I, Duan Chuchen, am trash or not, you will know in a while."

Time slowly passed, and finally, the sun was high in the sky. It was already noon.

At this moment, the crowd all opened up a path. Young Master Yan Tianxiang is here! " Everyone began to discuss with one another. Duan Chuchen stared straight ahead.

Not long later, a young man around seventeen or eighteen years old appeared in front of Duan Chuchen. This young man was dressed extravagantly, had an extraordinary bearing and was quite handsome. This person was really Yan Tianxiang.

"You finally came. I thought you wouldn't dare to come." Duan Chuchen said lightly.

"Humph!" Arrogant, do you think you can defeat me just because you have a cultivation level at rank 4? My heart is already an expert in the middle stage of the Homo Martial, ten times stronger than Qingcheng. You can defeat Qingcheng, but you definitely can't defeat me. " Yan Tianxiang said indifferently. His eyes were filled with disdain towards Duan Chuchen.

At this moment, Duan Chuchen's heart was very calm. The reason he challenged Yan Tianxiang was definitely not to show off himself, nor was it because Mo Qingcheng remarried to Yan Tianxiang. When he was unable to cultivate, he had heard too many people insult him. Duan Chuchen hated those eyes and was extremely disgusted, looking at him as if he was a piece of trash.

Today, Duan Chuchen was going to tell them that he was not a trash, but a genius. A genius that no one could look down upon.

"Cut the crap. We will meet in person. I don't have the time to argue with you here." Yan Tianxiang's eyes were filled with disdain.

However, Yan Tianxiang's attitude was not the same as what he showed on his face. Yan Tianxiang had long attached great importance to Duan Chuchen because Duan Chuchen was not yet 13 years old. Yan Tianxiang wasn't as strong as Duan Chuchen when he was his age. However, he also had some doubts towards Duan Chuchen. Could a young man who hadn't even reached thirteen years of age really have the strength to reach the fourth level of Entry?

The more he thought about it, the more Yan Tianxiang wanted to test it out. In an instant, Yan Tianxiang's body emitted waves of powerful spiritual energy, this kind of aura belonged to a middle stage Homo Martial martial artist.
