Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning-Chapter 214 - One Force Breaks All Spells
Chapter 214: One Force Breaks All Spells
Being one of the top ten disciples is a good umbrella.
Jiang Hao had some ideas.
If he could normally increase his cultivation to that level, he wouldn’t refuse.
But with his current cultivation at the late Foundation Establishment stage, he was far from the Nascent Soul stage.
Becoming one of the top ten disciples would be fraught with difficulties.
But once you become the top disciple, your status in the sect is exalted, and you’ll have much less trouble.
Even the Pavilion Master of Tianhuan Pavilion wouldn’t dare to go too far.
The only trouble is that by blocking others’ paths, some people will have their eyes on you.
But that shouldn’t be a problem, after all, his true cultivation is far beyond what he shows.
Staying in eighth or ninth place won’t cause too much trouble.
Actually, it’s quite good.
In the Demon Sect, if your status isn’t high enough, you want to keep a low profile but others will still come to trouble you.
Like the Spiritual Medicine Garden, there are always some people who want to bully you.
It’s been quiet these past few years, but in a few years, a new batch will come.
But if he’s one of the top ten disciples, would anyone dare to cause trouble in the Spiritual Medicine Garden he’s guarding?
Would Bai Ye have the guts to openly use various techniques against him?
Unless he doesn’t want to live.
“Is it possible for Bai Ye to succeed?” Jiang Hao suddenly asked.
Currently, he was no match for Bai Ye, and if Bai Ye were to make a move now, it would be hard to stop him.
Bai Ye’s techniques were too powerful, always giving the impression that Man Long might not be an opponent.
“Bai Ye rarely goes out, so I don’t know much about him. However, as to whether he can succeed, I do know a bit,” Liu Xingchen said casually:
“Based on speculation, it’s unlikely for Bai Ye to succeed. I encountered Man Long when I was investigating a traitor, and we chatted for a bit. He said Bai Ye is not easy to deal with; despite his average cultivation, if you enter his home turf, even someone stronger would be at a disadvantage. But Bai Ye is also easy to deal with, which is to get him out of his home turf.”
“Man Long’s general idea is that, in Bai Ye’s home turf, he would need to fight desperately to win, and the chances of success are three to seven, with him at three and Bai Ye at seven. But in any unfamiliar environment, he could kill Bai Ye with his bare hands.”
“And when challenging for the position of top disciple, the challenger chooses the location, meaning that even if Man Long loses this time, next year he could defeat Bai Ye and reclaim the position of top ten disciples. So Bai Ye won’t act rashly; he can’t afford to lose.”
Jiang Hao nodded, this also served as a warning to him.
Even if he knew where Bai Ye was, he couldn’t rush in recklessly.
He had already fallen for Bai Ye’s techniques at Duanqing Cliff; if he entered his home turf, any kind of technique could appear.
That would be troublesome.
However, Bai Ye’s talent for cultivation didn’t seem very high, and Jiang Hao suddenly remembered the nutrient beads from before.
They were used by Bai Ye for promotion, and he was using other methods to advance.
‘If he continues to research like this, how terrifying will he become in the future?’
Jiang Hao was astonished; in his view, Bai Ye was a greater threat than Man Long.
Because as of now, Man Long is just fast in cultivation and strong.
While he himself, will cultivate even faster and become stronger.
But he knew nothing about the various techniques that come from mixing spiritual medicines.
That’s where the sense of threat came from.
And the most important point was that Man Long hadn’t made a move against him, while Bai Ye had.
“Do you have to be a true disciple to become one of the top ten disciples?” Jiang Hao suddenly asked.
“Not necessarily,” Liu Xingchen said with a smile.
“Inner sect disciples can also do it, as long as their strength is sufficient and they don’t exceed the age limit.”
“But becoming the top disciple is not easy; even if you win against the tenth disciple, you still have to pass the assessment of the top three in the same realm.”
“This is to prevent someone from taking advantage of the situation if no one reaches that realm. The top ten disciples are about quality, not just filling the spots.”
Jiang Hao understood the gist; the top ten disciples, not to mention other aspects, definitely had strong combat power.
In the future, it could be a goal.
But it wasn’t time yet.
With the speed of his cultivation progress that he showed, plus having Han Ming as a comparison, becoming one of the top ten disciples was within reach.
It was always good to stay one step ahead of Junior Brother Han.
“Junior Brother, do you plan to go out recently? The Mission Hall of the Enforcement Peak asked me to inquire,” Liu Xingchen suddenly changed the topic.
“I don’t have such plans,” Jiang Hao said, somewhat surprised.
“Why would you suddenly ask that?”
“They want to make money off Junior Brother. You’ve been performing well recently, and they’re worried they won’t be able to make money off you once you’re off the list.”
“After all, based on the last mission, the Enforcement Peak made a killing. Although it was only a few thousand, the value lies in the quick return,” Liu Xingchen said with a laugh.
Jiang Hao was at a loss for words for a moment.
However, he was indeed behaving himself now.
If it weren’t for Liu Xingchen, even the list of people to watch wouldn’t be a comfortable place to be.
Especially since he occasionally made some notable achievements.
‘I need to find an opportunity to look for traitors and have a talk with them about our relationship.’
After that, Liu Xingchen greeted him and left.
Jiang Hao also changed direction.
“The matter with Bai Ye needs careful planning, but we must pay attention to whether he challenges Man Long. There’s a seventy percent chance of winning, but if Bai Ye has a trick up his sleeve, Man Long might not be able to reclaim the position of the tenth chief disciple next year.”
“Moreover, even if he can reclaim it, nobody knows how many benefits he will gain in the meantime.”
“Bai Ye’s methods usually involve influencing others through the properties of spiritual medicines and the environment’s scent. If one were to block their senses, would they be safe?”
All the way, Jiang Hao was thinking of ways to deal with Bai Ye.
But in the end, he came to only one conclusion: overwhelming force breaks all methods.
In the face of absolute strength, all tricks are ineffective.
Ultimately, it boils down to being too weak.
He could only endure Bai Ye’s attacks, unable to retaliate.
With a sigh, Jiang Hao thought of Liu Xingchen again.
Liu Xingchen was not far from the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and he would likely reach the peak of Nascent Soul soon.
By then, he might become one of the top ten chief disciples out of boredom.
Looking at the current situation, this might actually be a good thing.
The stronger Liu Xingchen is, the more likely he can help him.
The only thing to be wary of is to prevent the other party from pulling him into their group.
.......
Duanqing Cliff Spiritual Medicine Garden.
As soon as Jiang Hao returned, he saw two Golden Core cultivators standing at the entrance.
One was drinking with a hint of drunkenness, and the other had somewhat dark skin.
The former was a male cultivator, and the latter was a fairy.
Jiang Hao had seen these two a few times before; the drinker was named Jiu Wu, and the dark-skinned one was named Fei Zhu, both true disciples of Duanqing Cliff.
“Greetings to Senior Brother and Senior Sister,” Jiang Hao said politely.
Some Senior Brothers and Sisters would occasionally come here, but the reason wasn’t important.
Nor did it concern him.
The two nodded slightly but did not speak.
Jiang Hao took a detour inside.

Watching him enter, Jiu Wu squinted his eyes and said.
“Is that Jiang Hao? The one who was in the top ten for contributions last time?”
“Yes, that’s him. He’s been staying in the Spiritual Medicine Garden for years and has had good opportunities. He’s already at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.”
“It’s a pity he has no great ambitions and only wishes to stay in the Spiritual Medicine Garden. It’s hard to say what achievements he’ll have in the future,” said Fairy Fei Zhu with a hint of regret.
“Perhaps he knows that everything he has is due to chance, and his own abilities and understanding are not enough. Hiding here might be safer for him,” Jiu Wu said calmly.
“Yes, I’ve heard that he is quite upright and somewhat naive; staying here is indeed better for him,” Fairy Fei Zhu nodded.
Then the two stopped talking, as an inner disciple who wasn’t too special was only worth a brief mention.
There was no need to say more; after all, in a few days, this person might no longer exist.
The path of cultivation is like this; people you used to see suddenly disappear without a trace.
