Chapter 2274: Entertaining Performances

es. Could this be my bottleneck, a mental bottleneck My spirit consciousness isn’t enough, I need to break through!" Shen Xiang thought in his heart. At this moment, his spirit consciousness was almos...Chapter 2274: Entertainment Program

Although Shen Xiang did not expect such a thing to happen, plans sometimes have flaws. Now, he has been discovered by the Blythe Academy and Elders Council as they have begun to assimilate smaller factions. It is likely that the next target will be the Wind Family, given their deep hatred towards him. With Wang Mountain's alliance with the Great Heaven Gate, many factions would be willing to follow if it brings them significant benefits.

"Alliances with Wang Mountain are not beneficial... Of course, this is for the low-level disciples of other factions. Once allied with Wang Mountain, those forces' people would treat you like their own outer disciples of Wang Mountain," said Shen Xiang. This alliance does not pose a threat to him since Wang Mountain is joining forces with other smaller factions.

"Thankfully, they do not know that the sect leader is already with you. Even if they did, there's no real consequence since they cannot harm the sect leader," said Hu Lang.

"Do they know about my large stockpile of bone spirit pills" asked Shen Xiang.

"Yes, they are very certain. The person who bought the Clear Mind Spirit Lotus was you, Hu Lang. They probably got information about your bone spirit pills through comparisons," said Hu Lang. He can gather many inside messages from the Inner Sect, even uncovering hidden matters.

"Hu Lang, I'm sending you out of the city now. You should know how to return," said Shen Xiang, noticing Hu Lang's improved condition.

"Big brother, are you staying here to ruin their good plans" chuckled Hu Lang. "I also want to stay and see."

"Sorry, you should go back first. Your injuries have not fully healed yet," said Shen Xiang as he shook his head. "They've already known that I can produce large quantities of bone spirit pills, which endangers their status and interests. They will definitely take drastic actions against me next."

Hu Lang nodded. His strength is limited, and he would not be able to defend himself if there were conflicts.

Shen Xiang used spatial power to carefully open a spatial channel, sending Hu Lang out of the Great Heaven Gate before transforming his appearance and leaving the dungeon. The celebration continued, unaware that Hu Lang had left.

Shen Xiang walked to the middle square where people were saying they would celebrate for days and nights. The banquet continued to increase, the entire square filled with alcohol fragrance and festivity.

Suddenly, people in the square stood up, moving their tables aside to create a large space. An elderly man approached and released a sturdy martial arts arena. More elders came, taking out array plates to set up barriers.

An elderly man stepped onto the stage and said loudly, "I'm an Elder from Wang Mountain. The Sect Leader is unavailable, so the alliance between Wang Mountain and Great Heaven Gate falls under my responsibility. We're very grateful for your presence, so we've decided to add an entertainment program."

"We have selected a disciple from Wang Mountain and Great Heaven Gate. First, the Great Heaven Gate's disciple will defend the arena. If someone defeats him, they'll receive a medium-grade bone spirit pill! After defeating the Great Heaven Gate's disciple, it will be Wang Mountain's turn. If you defeat our Wang Mountain's disciple, you'll receive an upper-grade bone spirit pill," said the elderly man.

Upon hearing this reward, everyone became excited. Winning could result in a medium-grade bone spirit pill or even an upper-grade one. Many old men decided to join, eager for the challenge.

The elderly man saw their eager expressions and smiled. "I see everyone is very interested, indicating that many will participate, making it hard to arrange. Let's do this: we'll have disciples carry a custom-made box. If you grab a black bead from the box, you can join and challenge our defending disciple," said he.

Shen Xiang looked around and saw that over a hundred disciples walked among the crowd, each carrying a box as people eagerly reached into them to grab beads.

When it was his turn, Shen Xiang easily saw the black beads through his Dao Heart Eye and grabbed one. He observed that out of a hundred beads, only one was black. Among the thousands participating, only dozens managed to grab these black beads.

Many complained about lacking chances, but it was understandable. If thousands were to challenge one at a time, the defending disciple would be exhausted. However, with dozens rotating challenges, it seemed somewhat fair.

"Participants who have the black beads please queue up here for registration," said the elderly man. Shen Xiang stood up and walked towards him, only to be stopped by someone not long after.

"Boy, I'll take your black bead and give you 100,000 spirit stones," said the big man as his coarse hand grabbed Shen Xiang's shoulder, squeezing it hard.

"Humph!" said Shen Xiang. He used Ice Spirit Aura, releasing a faintly cold air from his shoulder bone to enter the big man's hand.

The big man felt his arm suddenly become cold and lost sensation, shocking him. He tried to curse Shen Xiang but found his throat unable to make a sound. The eerie Ice Spirit Aura permeated him, making him step back and sit on his chair.

This big man only had seventy spirit cores, but Shen Xiang could crush him with one palm attack. Yet, he still dared to threaten Shen Xiang! He received a severe lesson from Shen Xiang.

After arriving at the registration area, Shen Xiang noticed that he was the last. He cursed silently about the big man who delayed him, thinking it would have been earlier if not for his interference.

"What's your name" asked an elderly man, looking at the black bead Shen Xiang passed him. He confirmed its authenticity before asking.

"Qi Tian!" Shen Xiang created a fake name on the spot.

"Good, you're the 53rd and last. You need to sharpen your wit, otherwise, you wouldn't be at the back of the queue," smiled the elderly man. "Don't worry too much, perhaps they exhaust the defending disciple's strength and it's your turn. You might be able to snatch a big advantage."articipating in its forging. Unfortunately, later on, dragon souls lost their power, reducing its strength…" Dou Hai’s voice was cut off before he saw Shen Xiang’s Green Dragon Murder Demon Sword shak...
