Inside his Dantian, Su Lie complained to Tian Zi while doing his best to support his earth attributed essence.
Su Lie boldly tried it once and took the initiative to drop another drop of earth attribute essence. As expected, there wasn't too much of a problem. The earth attribute whirlpool was able to withstand it.
Three drops!
Four drops!
Five drops … As the earth attribute essence continued to be refined, more and more elemental energy began to gush out from the earth attribute origin energy whirlpool. The growth rate of the elemental energy also became faster and faster.
As for Su Lie's body, it was as if it was filled with air, and his skin and muscles didn't get full.
Within his muscles and bones, a cracking sound could be heard. It sounded like a spring as it was constantly being pulled, and an extremely tyrannical strength was being condensed and born from it.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
Luo Xiaoyu had already completed the refinement of the Yun Xiang Nine Transformations. She pushed open the door and walked out, scanning the area. She did not see Su Lie. She could not help but look towards the pill refining room and saw Su Lie sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, cultivating.
"Why is this guy always like this!"
Luo Xiaoyu pursed her lips.
However, she was also slightly happy in her heart.
Su Lie cultivated bitterly in seclusion, avoiding being disturbed the most.
Although there were only the two of them here, Su Lie completely ignored her and treated her as one of his own from the bottom of his heart. Otherwise, no one would be so at ease.
"If you are able to satisfy me after a period of time, I'll take it that you've passed …"
Looking at Su Lie's figure who was sitting cross-legged, Luo Xiaoyu lightly bit her lips and said with a smile.
However, she immediately noticed the abnormality on Su Lie's body and couldn't help but stare.
"What is this fellow cultivating? How did his cultivation increase so fast?"
Luo Xiaoyu was stunned.
Generally speaking, with the increase of one's cultivation, it was already considered fast for him to be able to notice the subtle changes in it with his own consciousness.
But now, even an outsider like Luo Xiaoyu could feel the increase in Su Lie's cultivation. This was too inconceivable.
"He's about to break through to the sixth level of the Earth Origin Stage?"
Luo Xiaoyu felt that her improvement speed was already very fast, but compared to Su Lie, that was just too slow.
It had only been a few days since he broke through to the fifth stage of the Earth Origin Stage, and it had only been half a month, and he was actually about to break through again. Luo Xiaoyu didn't know how to describe it.
"The man I've taken a liking to is indeed not an ordinary person!"
Luo Xiaoyu muttered as her face flushed red.
Boom!
Just at this moment, the aura within Su Lie's body seemed to have broken through a sturdy dam and surged forth.
"He broke through?"
Luo Xiaoyu opened her mouth slightly.
This was too simple, there didn't seem to be any obstruction at all.
She did not know how ferocious the rate at which the elemental energy within Su Lie's body was increasing. In the face of the surging elemental energy, the barrier at the sixth level of the Earth Origin Stage, was like paper as it easily flew past.
After breaking through the sixth level of the Earth Origin Stage, Su Lie had slowly quieted down. But only a day later, strands of small strands of earthen yellow light started to gradually flow out from the pores all over his body, and gradually condense on the surface of his body. In a short half a day, a thick layer of stone shell condensed outside his body, wrapping around his entire body.
Su Lie was cultivating in the Jiumai Peak, but his sect was getting more and more lively. The ranking challenge was about to arrive.
Regardless of whether they were new disciples or old disciples, they had been cultivating in seclusion for a long time, just waiting for the ranking war to show their prowess. If they could raise their ranks, not only would the resources given by the sect increase, it would also be a chance to become famous in the sect.
The only ones who could still maintain their calm were the eight hundred inner disciples and the three hundred Peak Disciple s.
He could only wait until three years were up, and the next time the sect was recruiting disciples, the rankings between Peak Disciple s would be higher than three hundred and ninety-seven. Only then would he be able to keep his position in the Peak Disciple, and only when his position fell to the last three would he feel embarrassed. Then, he would have to give up the mountain peak and leave it for the top three spots for the new disciple selection.
Therefore, Su Lie wanted to preserve his position in the Peak Disciple. In the future, he would have to face many great battles.
Within these three years, there will be new disciples challenging. After three years, I will first have to participate in the rankings between Peak Disciple s, and then have to face challenges between inner sect disciples again and again. As long as I lose a battle, the title of Peak Disciple will belong to someone else.
But once one became an inner sect disciple or an official Peak Disciple, it would be completely different. Inner sect disciples only had a ranking challenge once a year, and Peak Disciple only had it once every three years.
Even if inner sect disciples challenged the Peak Disciple s, they would only be able to challenge the last ten places every year.
The new disciples were the most active. The ones at the top of the rankings were even more so, rubbing their fists and aiming at their targets.
For the new disciples, the first three years were to rapidly increase their cultivation base. Although it was only three months, they all thought that they were no longer the same as before and wanted to pull their opponents down and climb up by themselves.
However, the real intense ranking challenge would still be a year later. At that time, those rogue cultivators would have accumulated enough achievement points to exchange for Earth class martial arts in order to raise their combat prowess. That would be the true ranking challenge of a dragon and a tiger.
To tell the truth, although the new disciples were also looking forward to this ranking challenge, most of them weren't able to raise their strength. Only the top few had the intention to compete.
Yu Ling, Liu Xuanyue, and Su Lie, the three Peak Disciple s, had naturally become their targets.
Although there was only a difference of one rank between the third and fourth place, there was a fundamental difference. The difference in treatment was too great.
Although Su Lie was ranked second in the selection and was above Liu Xuanyue, Li Zhifeng, Qiu Nu, and Feng Yan had all set their sights on him.
Su Lie was still immersed in his cultivation. His entire body was wrapped in a thick layer of stone. He was truly like a statue as he sat there cross-legged.
In the blink of an eye, there were only two days left before the ranking challenge.
"Why isn't this guy awake yet?"
Luo Xiaoyu paced back and forth in the cave and secretly became anxious for Su Lie.
If the ranking challenge had begun and Su Lie was unable to participate, then if someone challenged him, he would have been deemed as having lost.
If so, the loss would be too unfair.
Although Luo Xiaoyu did not know the exact extent of Su Lie's cultivation, but from her observation these few days, Su Lie's cultivation was at least at the mid to late stage of the sixth stage of the Earth Origin Stage. With his current strength, as long as he fought with his full strength, preserving the position of the Peak Disciple should not be a problem.
"What an enemy. Every time, they would always be worried for you!"
Luo Xiuyu's face also showed signs of depression.
"Bam!"
Luo Xiaoyu was muttering to herself when an extremely tyrannical aura suddenly spread out from within Su Lie's body. With a violent shake, the layer of stone within his body instantly turned into dust, and fell down like flowing water.
Su Lie's body that was sitting cross-legged was instantly revealed!
On her exposed skin, there was a warm glow. As she slowly opened her eyes, a bright light flashed within.
Slightly exhaling, Su Lie's face couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile. Seeing Luo Xiaoyu outside the door, the smile on his face became even wider.
The elemental energy in his body had already reached the mid to late stage of the sixth stage of the Earth Origin Stage. As long as he was given a bit more time, breaking through to the seventh stage of the Earth Origin Stage should not take too long.
But what made him most happy was that he broke through two stages in a row and reached the eighth level of the metal stone. Now, with just a casual punch, he already had the strength of several tens of thousands of pounds. Even without using soul force, a normal person of the fourth or fifth level of the Earth Origin Stage would not be able to withstand a single punch.
However, these were not his greatest gains … Moreover, there were two more elemental energy seeds in his dantian, reaching a total of thirteen. Within a breath's time, the spirit energy had been converted into surging elemental energy, and the recovery speed of his elemental energy had reached an astonishing level. If there was someone who dared to fight a long battle, just based on this recovery speed, he would be able to exhaust them to death.
"Drizzle!"
Standing up, Su Lie smiled as he walked towards Luo Xiaoyu.
Luo Xiaoyu stared at Su Lie blankly, as if she was in a daze.
On Su Lie's skin, there was a bright glow and a faint smile. Su Lie's body seemed to have grown taller and stronger as well. Every move he made was filled with energy and exuded a masculine aura.
The sect disciples' clothes were propped up by their muscles and stuck tightly to their bodies, faintly revealing the perfect lines of their muscles, exuding an attractive force.
"Xiaoyu, have I become so charming? Have I made you look at me foolishly?"
Su Lie walked in front of Luo Xiaoyu and said while smiling.
Luo Xiaoyu's eyes moved and she immediately came to her senses. Her face was red as she turned around and left.
"Who's looking at you like that for nothing? I'm just a bit worried for you, yet you're joking again. You have no conscience."
Luo Xiaoyu rushed into the Cultivation chamber and immediately closed the door, but in a few breaths, the door was pushed open once again.
"I have a lot of manpower. If you have another kind reminder, you'll only have two days to participate in the ranking challenge. Don't make a fool of yourself when the time comes. It would be too unsightly if you let someone take the cave away."
"Only two days?"
Su Lie was also slightly stunned for a moment before he shook his head. He didn't think that cultivating this time would actually take such a long time.
"Two days should be enough time for me to get started."
Su Lie slightly frowned before relaxing as his eyes were filled with confidence.
With his current cultivation, even if he did not have the Triple Mountain Fragment, he was confident that he could challenge them.
However, if he could successfully cultivate the Triple Mountain Fragment, that would naturally be even better.
After sweeping a glance at the tightly shut gates of the Cultivation chamber, Su Lie sat cross-legged in his original position once again. With a stretch of his palm, an ancient scroll appeared in his hand.
