I Cultivate Passively-Chapter 46 - : The Martial Arts Competition Began

This armor-piercing attribute could be said to be extremely powerful.

From the Qi Gathering realm onward, almost all cultivators would use their spiritual power to protect their bodies.

Moreover, they would usually have special defensive means, such as the Demon-Devouring Armor.

In order to attack the opponent, one must break through their protective layer of spiritual power.

This was also an important part of the gap between mortals and cultivators.

Ordinary sword and knife techniques were unable to break through the defense of the protective spiritual power layer. Only spiritual power attacks could break through it.

However, this Armor-Piercing Spear directly ignored the protective spiritual power layer and attacked the main body.

In terms of battle, Zhou Feng had a huge advantage.

“9th Level of Qi Condensation! And then there’s the Armor-Piercing Spear!”

At that moment, he was full of confidence for the martial arts competition.

After all, his realm was truly there, and he could be considered outstanding among all the inner disciples.

Moreover, he had obtained the passive Armor-Piercing Spear.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was still not bright yet, Zhou Feng planned to return and rest.

The martial arts competition was tomorrow, and he had to recuperate well.

…

The martial arts competition could be said to be the most important day of every month for the Tri-Gu Sect.

This was because it involved the distribution of many benefits.

The Tri-Gu Sect was the largest in the vicinity, and they supported many cultivators.

Naturally, it was impossible to obtain all the resources from Mount Gu.

Many places produced special resources, and the Tri-Gu Sect would send disciples to guard them.

And the disciples that went out to guard were equivalent to the officials of the border. They only needed to complete the sect’s quota.

As for the remaining resources, they had to snatch them with their power.

Of course, the prerequisite was that you could become the guarding disciple and have the ability to guard the resources.

That’s right! Becoming the guarding disciple was only the first step. The second step was to compete with other sects.

For example, there was a spirit stone mine that had been discovered a while ago at Mount Gu’s periphery.

This spirit stone mine did not belong to the Tri-Gu Sect. The other sects would also send their disciples over to fight for it. Only if they successfully defended it would they be able to mine the Spirit Stones.

The sects, including the Tri-Gu Sect, seemed to have made an agreement.

Depending on how precious the resources were, they would send different people to guard them.

Basically, there would not be any big or small pressure, so the competitors were basically all in the same realm.

One of the fundamental purposes of the martial arts competition was to select elite disciples to fight against the other sects’ disciples for more resources for the sect.

At the same time, those elite disciples who received recognition could also leave Mount Gu and go to the outside world.

As for the inner disciples who dawdled around, they would probably never be able to leave Mount Gu in their entire lives.

They were even inferior to some outsiders who were doing business in the marketplace. After all, those people could at least walk outside and see different sceneries.

As for the Tri-Gu disciples, they could only stay in the sect for the rest of their lives if there were no accidents. They were prepared to become nourishment for other disciples at all times.

The martial arts competition was held at the martial arts practice field at the mountain’s peak, and there would be Elders watching.

As for the Sect Leader, if they were lucky, they might see him. Under normal circumstances, the Sect Leader would be in closed-door cultivation.

Another thing worth mentioning was that many people in the mountainside market would open their auctions every time there was a martial arts competition.

The most popular auction would naturally be the one that would win first place.

Meanwhile, this was a great opportunity for the inner disciples to become famous.

…

Qian Shang and his daughter were also very concerned about this martial arts competition because their patron, Zhou Feng, would also participate in this event.

“Father? Did you buy it?” Qian Qianqian immediately asked when she heard that her father had returned.

“I bought it! It’s still as expensive as ever!” Qian Shang held a booklet in his hand, his face full of pain.

Unfortunately, there was no other way. He had to buy this booklet because it recorded the information of many inner disciples. The group of people who had opened the market sold it.

If an outsider like Qian Shang wanted to survive in the market, he had to be well-informed and avoid provoking people who shouldn’t be provoked.

And this booklet recorded many people who shouldn’t be provoked.

Although it cost a full Spirit Stone, Qian Shang had still gnashed his teeth and bought it.

This was also an investment. As a businessman, sometimes he couldn’t bear to part with it.

“Qianqian! Daddy will read it to you now!”

Qian Shang read out loud the information recorded in the booklet to his good daughter.

Although the booklet was very small, there were quite a lot of people recorded in it, including Lin Xiaojiao and Liu Yan, whom Zhou Feng had met before, and even Zhao Wu.

However, Zhou Feng’s information was not recorded in the booklet.

“There’s no Young Master Zhou?”

After turning to the last page, Qian Shang realized there was no information about Zhou Feng in the entire booklet.

His heart instantly turned cold. After all, he had invested a lot in Zhou Feng.

One had to know that the people recorded in this booklet were those with more potential in the inner sect.

Since Zhou Feng’s name was not in it, his previous investment was probably going to go down the drain.

“No? Then did we rush to invest in him?”

Qian Qianqian did not have any expression when she heard this.

At most, she would give up most of her wealth. Compared to her father, Qian Qianqian did not have much interest in money.

Thus, she was very calm now.

Not to mention Qian Shang and his daughter, the entire Mount Gu was bustling with activity.

The mountain peak that was usually empty was now filled with people.

Zhou Feng had also mingled among them early on.

“Are those Penta-Poison disciples?”

He had finally seen the inner Penta-Poison disciples.

The Penta-Poison and Bloodthirsty disciples usually occupied one side and rarely communicated with each other, so Zhou Feng rarely saw the Penta-Poison disciples.

Even in the marketplace, he did not see many of them. It was said that the Penta-Poison faction also had its own marketplace on the other side.

It was said that the Penta-Poison faction nurtured experts who used poison and controlled various Gu.

They did not know how strong they were.

Without thinking much, Zhou Feng went to the registration office to register.

That’s right! Not all inner disciples had to participate in this martial arts competition.

Instead, the disciples had to register themselves to participate.

Every martial arts competition would have many casualties, so few new inner disciples would sign up. One had to be very confident in their strength.

After signing up, Zhou Feng received a small wooden tablet with #99 written on it.

After that, he waited quietly.

There were already people fighting in the middle of the martial arts practice field.

There weren’t any Elders, so only disciples and a few instructors were maintaining order.

The fighting process was very simple and crude. The two people who were called to the stage would immediately start fighting.

There were no rules. Whoever could stand to the end would win.

Moreover, they would not give you the chance to recover from your injuries. The next time they called for you, you had to fight on the stage.

Even if you were already injured, no one would care about you.

This martial arts competition was extremely unrestrained and crude.
