Chapter 9: Trouble
By the end of the 2 months, i was able to force out around 50% of the yin qi from sect master's body and he was able to do the rest and made a full recovery. He was already ready to break through for a long time but the qi in his body prevented him from doing so, he went to seclusion to break through to the transcendent realm.
I was able to do in 40 days instead of 2 months because i discovered that my chaos qi innately had a purifying effect too so it made the process much smoother.
Through continued training with zangestsu and old man i was able to fully learn sonido, cero and hirenkyaku. Hirenkyaku was the most fun because it gave me a feeling of skating on ice because while using it we ride on the qi instead of the instantaneous burst of the sonido.
My swordsmanship got better after going through all the techniques and all that sparing.
I am now able to use getsuga tensho from both swords which honestly was the most powerful move of mine currently.
The seed i bought already gave me many fruits because how i deep i planted in the ravine and regularly nourished it with yang part of my chaos qi as well.
In the mean time i also went to the management hall to report about my cultivation and became an inner disciple and challenged a few other inner disciples regularly to earn contribution points and i already had more than enough of it. Though many tried to recruit me in their faction in the sects made by some elite disciples and core disciples but i just politely refused them and they didn't insist too much thinking that i was acting too high and mighty and will subside by time.
I also noticed that previously the dark hall disciple who count my win and loss streak used to change but for the past 2 months has been consistently been Xia Ning Chang.
Though i didn't know the reason but it was a welcomed change.
My cultivation had also increased rapidly in these past two months(here are the stats)
[Cultivation- Intial element 8th Stage]
[Combat power - Qi transformation 5th stage(Shikai)]
Today i was going to the contribution hall to use points to get some more herbs for the incense but i saw a commotion going on so i went to watch what was going on but what i saw was a fight between Su Mu and some other guy fighting where Su Mu was losing quite badly.
It reminded me about that one arc in canon so i naturally played along asked Su Mu's friends about how Su Mu was losing when both of them had similar Qi fluctuations, then he explained that Su Mu is at the 4th stage Initial Element and the opponent is at 5th stage initial element but using a full body defensive armour which blocks any kind of attacks from Su Mu making it unfair.
The opponent is the grand elder's grandson and there have conflicts between the two hence resulting in Su Mu(Second elder's son) fighting him so it was an internal strife.
He asked me to save his young master but i simply told him that it is against the rules to interfere in a 'friendly match" then he talked about the unfairness of the match and using it as a reason but i had to refute him politely saying "The world is never really fair, it runs on the survival of the fittest rule"
They continued to provoke each other by flaring insults but Su Mu ended up getting beaten mercilessly on the ground. Su Mu still laughed taunting his opponent and showing his fighting spirit for which he received quite a few punches on his face.
Seeing this Su Mu's followers became very concerned and the opponent took advantage of it, asking them to kneel if they want to him to spare their young master they would have to kneel which might change their minds.
Su Mu's followers having no choice did as Wei Zhuang(grand elder's granson) said kneeling on the ground which Su Mu tried to stop but ended up getting his hand slammed into the ground. This brought Su Mu to tears and he became infuriated.
He shouted "WEI ZHUANG, I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!"
and Wei Zhuang in turn shouted "NEITHER WILL I!" and slammed both is hands on his chest probably breaking a rib or two.
He order his lackeys to attack Su Mu's followers and both of their followers started fighting each other though one of them mistook me for Su Mu's lackey and tried to attack me which resulted in him getting knocked out with casual kick to the front.
After the last attack i was worried for Su Mu and thought that may be i took too long to take action so i checked his breathing and body but he was fortunately only fainted.
Wei Zhuang took it as a disrespect that i checked Su Mu's condition without his permission so he asked me "Who the hell are you supposed to be?!"
'I am Vengeance.' was what i wanted to say but i instead said "Inner Disciple, Liu Zheng, greets Grand Elder's Grandson Wei Zhuang and would like to request for a spar" in the martial way.
"Liu Zheng? the that's recently become famous?" he asked
"You flatter me, if there is no one else named Liu Zheng in the sect, that should be me" i said
"If you are as strong as the rumours say then you certainly have the right to challenge me but i just hope that you are not afraid of death!" He said trying to scare me and accepted the challenge intending to establish his authority among the inner disciples of the sect.
"I just hope you are not afraid of death either!" i replied with a smile
"How Arrogant!" he said as he charged towards me not wanting to take any risks due to my fame and thoroughly defeat me.
His movements were so slow to me that i dodged without any effort but i knew that dodging won't let me win the fight so using the gap in between his moves i appeared behind him and punched him on his back with 50% of my power though it did push him away but didn't hurt him at all instead i was the one getting hurt due to rebound from his armour.
So i decided to take this seriously and deflected his right punch and then right kick, dodging his left punch i used the gap in between to punch him on his left with full force this time which made him though blood out of his mouth, break two lower ribs and made a big dent on his armour.
Wei Zhuang was going through a lot and devastated that his ordinary stage mid grade armour which should be invincible in the initial element realm was severely damaged by me who was clearly in the Initial element realm as well
He cursed me and charged at me with the intent to kill but i already knew that i could break his armour decided to make a small almost unnoticeable highly concentrated quincy qi blade and slash his armour from multiple points rendering it useless.
I hadn't removed the qi blade out of his armour and he started to threaten my with his status as the Grand Elder's grandson that i would be killed if i hit him to which instead of replying i just smiled and pierced his chest half an inch and said. (img)
"I wonder who is gonna die first!" he finally understand that i did not fear him and could kill him at any moment and was starting to get really sacred but being stubborn as he was he still continued to threaten me about how his Grandpa will kill me.
To which i pushed the qi blade another half an inch and blood started dripping much faster and said "In sparring matches between fellow disciples, killing brings no consequence.
If you lack the skills you should only blame yourself even if you are killed, what does it matter if your grandpa is the grand elder? He doesn't own the sect."
He finally understood that i was crazy enough to kill him here so he decided to surrender and said
"I --"
"Nuh-Uh little buddy, surrender is NOT an option. You will do as i say or you can just die here" i said to which he quickly nodded and i told his subordinates that if you want to save your young master then PROSTATE YOURSELVES AND KOWTOW TO ME, IF YOU MAKE ME HAPPY THEN I MIGHT SPARE HIM TODAY.
His subordinates were hesitant at first but Wei Zhuang ordered them to do as i say because if they blade goes any deeper it will pierce his heart. They knelt in front of me and he said if i am satisfied now but he was shocked to see my face which i had no intention of letting him go.
That's when old man zangetsu warned me about an incoming attack and i immediately left my position.
A loud voice was heard "EVERYONE STOP" and the man who was intending to attack me was surprised how i was able to sense it because he was peak Qi transformation realm and i was an initial element realm.
He helped Wei Zhuang stand up and together they cooked some nonsense to apprehend me and su mu's subordinates to lock us up and sent Su Mu to second elder.

I actually forgot about creating a body cultivation section in the stats so from the next chapter i will mention it too.
