Chapter 148 – Against the Devil – Body Burst
After bidding w.a.n.g Yun farewell, Luo Xiao Tian led his party straight back to the hotel.
The hotel had prepared an amazing dinner, everyone had their fill. Bi Fan was getting really impatient, since he wanted to read the Master page of the Jade book.
He was about to go upstairs, when Yan Yu Si pulled him to one side.
Luo Xiong saw the manner in which Yan Yu Si had pulled Bi Fan to the side, and the ominous glints in his eyes were clearly reflecting his rage, as he watched them whisper to each other.
“Bi Fan, you think that you can fight with me over Yan Yu Si! I’ll teach you a lesson soon enough.”
A lot of other core disciples were also glaring at Bi Fan.
“Bi Fan, what’s case with that page you bought in the auction?” Yan Yu Si was completely puzzled, and was worried that he may be having trouble with his practice.
Bi Fan said: “Miss Yan Yu Si, I cannot tell you the reason for making that purchase. But let’s just say, that page is very important to me.”
Yan Yu Si was looking at Bi Fan attentively, and could tell that he was answering her question very sincerely. She sighed and said: “Well, since you don’t wish to disclose your reasons, I will not insist.”
Yan Yu Si turned around, and left for her room. Bi Fan reunited with Mo Nan and Jing Feng, and the trio prepared to leave the dining area together.
“Bi Fan, you listen to me very carefully: stay away from Miss Yan Yu Si.” Luo Xiong warned him, as he finally revealed his true colors.
“My personal affairs are none of your concern.” Bi Fan replied in a cold tone.
Even though Luo Xiong is very powerful, Bi Fan wasn’t taking Luo Xiong’s threat seriously, since he knew that Luo Xiong would dare to take any public action against him.
“Okay, boy, we’ll see about that later.” Luo Xiong turned around and left abruptly.
Jing Feng laughed: “Brother Bi Fan, if you keep going like this, you’ll become my idol very soon.”
“Oh come on Brother, stop pulling my leg now.” Bi Fan forced a smile.
The trio continued to talk and laugh as they headed upstairs.
Mo Nan and Jing Feng also wanted to ask Bi Fan about his purchase at the auction, but didn’t, since they didn’t know how to start the conversation.
“Let’s not waste any time today. Let’s return to our rooms and get a good practice for tomorrow’s practice.” Jing Feng suggested.
Bi Fan returned to his room, freshened up a bit, and then eagerly took out the master page of the jade book.
His whole body started to shudder with excitement, as his hands finally held the master page of the jade book.
Bi Fan carefully looked at the page, and realized that only a very small part of the page had any actual information. However, since the font was very small, there seemed to be over a thousand words on the page.
“Against the Devil – body burst:
Practicing internal energy without the support of physical strength will only grant a person very limited success. The mysteries of the human body are like the mysteries of the heavens and the earth; thorough research is required. This method can help a pract.i.tioner reach the realms of the immortals………”
Soon enough, Bi Fan had finished reading the entire page, twice. In addition to the introduction, the page also contained some extra tips regarding the methods that were described in the following nine pages of the book, and it seemed like Bi Fan had obtained the right item.
Bi Fan finally knew the name of the method that was described in the Jade Book, ‘Against the Devil’ body burst.
The introduction to the ‘Against the Devil’ body burst seemed a little exaggerated, since it suggested that this method was sufficient to take any pract.i.tioner to the realm of the immortals, without the support of any other method.
Bi Fan had been practicing this method for a long time now, and didn’t feel that the ‘Against the Devil’ body burst was powerful enough to make such claims.
Regardless of his opinion, Bi Fan quickly memorized the entire method thoroughly once more, and made note of the tips that the master page had advised to keep in mind while practicing the method, post which, he started to practice the first form of the method.
With the help of the tips and secrets that were described in the master page, Bi Fan realized that he was able to practice the method a lot more smoothly, and could feel that his physical strength was seeing an enormous rise, very suddenly.
He finished the first round of practice, and could sense that there was a major increase in his strength, which is why he decided to do another thirty five rounds of it. His strength had already increased past thirteen Yun Shi, and was inching close to fourteen Yun Shi now.
“Woah, my strength is going up really quickly!” Bi Fan was so excited, that he simply couldn’t control himself anymore.
Bi Fan immediately started to practice the second form of the ‘Against the Devil’ body burst method, and was able to practice it a lot more smoothly, owing to the tips that he had gotten from the master page.
The ‘Against the Devil’ body burst method was giving fast results, and he could sense that his physical strength was going up very quickly.
Once he finished the first round of the second form, he could sense that his physical strength had already crossed the fourteen Yun Shi mark.
Bi Fan continued to practice the method, and must have undertaken another dozen rounds of it, before his physical strength reached fifteen Yun Shi, post which, he finally came to a stop.
Bi Fan checked his body, and could sense that the method wasn’t just affecting his physical strength, but was also adding to his inner energy very significantly.
As his physical strength was breaking the barriers, so was his inner energy.
At this point, his inner energy had already reached close to thirteen Yun Shi, which put him at the peak of the ‘enormous strength’ layer.
“I didn’t know that physical practice could be this effective!” Bi Fan marveled.
Next, Bi Fan started to practice the ‘Fire and Ice’ burst, and found that the ‘Fire and Ice’ burst had also seen an increase in speed, and he was now capable of recovering his energy a lot faster.
Bi Fan was so surprised, that he couldn’t help but believe the words in the introduction on the master page, which described the ‘Against the Devil’ body burst to be the most powerful method in the world.
“Wow, I have to master all the forms of the ‘Against the Devil’ body burst method, and must practice them as often as possible.” Bi Fan made up his mind.
Soon, the night pa.s.sed, and since the contest was supposed to begin in the morning, Bi Fan decided to grab an early breakfast.
“We must quickly eat our breakfast, since we need to leave for the tournament arena.” Luo Xiao Tian instructed loudly.
“Yes!”
The disciples who were partic.i.p.ating in the Jiu Yu Hidden Dragon List were obviously very excited, especially the ones who were doing it for the first time.
Bi Fan couldn’t wait for the contest to start, since he wanted to show his talents to the world.
For a new-comer like Bi Fan, it was very important to emerge from a low-key profile, since he would need to procure more resources for his future training, without which, his training would gradually get slowed down.
Moreover, Bi Fan was longing to make a name for himself on a much larger stage. If he was able to establish himself as the leading figure of the Jiu Yu City’s young generation, then he’d certainly be recognized in the outside world as well.
Now that he was thinking of the world outside the Jiu Yu City, he couldn’t help but think of Lone Leaf and w.a.n.g Zhong. He didn’t know anything about their ware bouts at this point.
Although, it wouldn’t be very surprising if the two of them were already inside the ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer now.
The arena was located in the heart of the Jiu Yu City, close to the City Sect’s headquarters. The arena covered a vast area, and was the property of the City Sect, but they had allowed it to be used for such tournament.
Since the Arena had been built by the City Sect, they were ent.i.tled to collect an entry fee. However, the Sects that were partic.i.p.ating in the tournament weren’t required to pay this fee.
The larger Sects would be given their own personal seating area, and usually in good locations as well, which would allow them a good view of the all the contest stages.
The pedestrians were rushing through the streets, since they were all quite anxious to watch the tournament.
The area outside the contest arena was already very crowded, and there was a long queue to enter the arena, since the spectators were only being allowed to enter in singles.
Thankfully, there was a dedicated gate for the entry of the partic.i.p.ants; otherwise, it would take ages to enter the arena.
Under Luo Xiao Tian’s leadership, the Quinyang Sect entered the Arena.
The arena was so huge that it could accommodate almost two hundred thousand people on the first floor itself. While the second, third and the fourth floor balconies were sufficient to seat another fifty thousand.
Eighteen contest stages were set up in the middle of the arena, which would be used for the purpose of the tournament. The stage in the center was the largest, and was reserved for the championship fights.
The Quinyang Sect was allocated its seating s.p.a.ce on the second floor. The Second floor balconies had the best view, and all the eighteen contest stages were quite clearly visible from the stands on the second floor. On top of that, the Quinyang Sect was allotted one of the best seating areas.
Bi Fan looked down from the balcony, and estimated that at least a hundred thousand people had already occupied their seats, while many more were standing outside in the queues.
“So many people!”
The disciples, who were partic.i.p.ating in this contest for the first time, were so tensed that their whole body was covered in sweat.
Bi Fan was equally nervous, but the sparkling gleam in his eyes was enough to express his excitement.
