After killing Zhao Mountain, Chu Nan returned to his residence and entered a state of cultivation.

In the past, Chu Nan could only blindly work behind closed doors, but with Kui Guang's guidance, he gained different insights into his confusion about martial skills.

The Thunderous Dominating Fist, Soaring Wind Sky-Stepping Technique, and Cyan Mountain Sword Technique are all profoundly mysterious martial skills.

Before breaking through to the Spirit Pill Realm, they were Chu Nan's main means of attack.

With the terrifying physical qualities brought by cultivating the Desolate Profound Transformation and his own Treasure Blood, the practice of the Thunderous Dominating Fist was unhindered. As long as he could break through to the ninth level of Martial Dao, he could complete a hundred resonances, comparable to top-class martial skills!

Chu Nan even thought about making the resonance exceed a hundred times, unleashing a power not weaker than a Yellow-tier martial skill.

At the same time, the Soaring Wind Sky-Stepping Technique also reached the Minor Success Realm, allowing him to exert details ordinary martial artists could not, making him faster and more agile.

As for the Cyan Mountain Sword Technique...

"The Cyan Mountain Sword Technique may only be an intermediate martial skill, but it fits you perfectly."

"With my guidance, your Cyan Mountain Sword Technique will achieve great success in no time, and perhaps even perfection!"

Kui Guang said proudly, with absolute confidence in his words.

"The process of practicing the sword is also the process of cultivation."

"The path of the sword is the most terrifying and powerful in the Martial Dao. In my time, I relied on a sword to dominate an era."

Chu Nan was somewhat skeptical about Kui Guang's boasting.

After all, he had lived for sixteen years and had never heard of anyone using a sword to suppress an era.

However, Chu Nan was deeply convinced of Kui Guang's strength as a former powerhouse. He respectfully said, "Then, please, Sword Venerable Master, teach your disciple the Sword Dao!"

Seeing Chu Nan's respectful tone, Kui Guang became kind and said, "Then you must use your heart to practice, and when you meet others in the future, don't tarnish my reputation."

With that, Chu Nan began practicing the Cyan Mountain Sword Technique under Kui Guang's guidance.

While practicing the sword, Chu Nan also operated the Desolate Profound Transformation, improving both his sword comprehension and cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed, and under Kui Guang's guidance, Chu Nan cultivated the Cyan Mountain Sword Technique to perfection!

Even his cultivation successfully broke through to the mid-stage of the eighth level of Martial Dao!

He was getting closer to becoming a Spirit Pill Realm Martial Artist.

At this moment, Chu Nan was very confident. If he encountered a Spirit Pill Realm Martial Artist like Li Jianfei again, even if he couldn't win, he wouldn't be without means to fight back.

Buzz buzz buzz~

Just as Chu Nan planned to continue cultivating and break through to the ninth level of Martial Dao in one go, his sect identity token suddenly started ringing.

"What's going on?" Chu Nan frowned slightly and took out the identity token to check.

What he saw made his expression change; the identity token showed that more than ten people on the Wind and Cloud Ranking were challenging him!

Seeing these names, Chu Nan remembered that they were all outstanding disciples among the Outer Sect Disciples, capable of becoming Inner Sect Disciples at any time.

They were all ranked at the 300th position on the list, so why challenge him, who was ranked 32nd?

Kui Guang saw Chu Nan falling into deep thought and said, somewhat dissatisfied, "A martial artist shouldn't avoid a challenge, are you afraid?"

Chu Nan said helplessly, "Sword Venerable Master, I'm not afraid. I just find this matter a bit strange."

Kui Guang snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain: "What if it's strange, a single sword can block it."

"Listen to me and accept the challenge. Use your sword to tell everyone that you, Chu Nan, are not easy to bully."

Hearing this, Chu Nan nodded silently but then awkwardly said, "But Master, I don't have a sword~"

A dark line appeared on Kui Guang's face...

In the blink of an eye, Chu Nan arrived at the Wind and Cloud Ranking plaza empty-handed and found that there were particularly many people there today.

Most people didn't recognize Chu Nan, and his appearance didn't attract their attention.

Chu Nan frowned slightly as he looked at the Wind and Cloud Ranking from afar. He noticed that half of the Outer Sect's ninth level of Martial Dao post-refinement martial artists had fallen beyond the 340th position.

The 300s were occupied by those in the eighth level of Martial Dao.

This made Chu Nan see a significant problem.

Higher ranks can't challenge lower ranks, which meant these ninth-levels deliberately dropped in ranks to specially challenge him.

"Interesting, I wouldn't believe no one directed this. Who could have instigated them?"

"Is it someone from the Chu family..."

At this moment, the entire Wind and Cloud Ranking plaza was abuzz with gossip. After all, more than ten top Outer Sect elites deliberately dropped ranks to challenge one person.

This kind of thing was rare even in the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect.

Many people could feel that there were unknown secrets behind this.

"Who has this Chu Nan offended, and why are so many senior brothers challenging him?"

"Don't you know? There were rumors that Chu Nan killed Chu Hai's brother Chu Miao, who was at the top of the Wind and Cloud Ranking!"

"Really? How dare Chu Nan?"

"Who knows if it's true, but after Chu Hai left seclusion, he swore to kill Chu Nan for revenge. Our Outer Sect elites are eager to take action against Chu Nan to please Chu Hai!"

"With Chu Hai targeting him, Chu Nan is finished."

In the crowd, a graceful figure showed a trace of worry, her anxious gaze sweeping around looking for Chu Nan.

She was none other than Gu Nianxue.

After hearing Chu Hai's threats to kill Chu Nan and the Outer Sect elites responding actively, she anxiously came to try to stop all this.

But her power was too small to stop it.

She could only wait for Chu Nan to arrive and forcibly take him away to avoid this conflict.

Meanwhile, those Outer Sect disciples who challenged Chu Nan all showed eager and impatient expressions.

"Why hasn't Chu Nan arrived? Could he be too scared to come and planning to flee?"

"Hmph, I've already sent people to block the mountain gate. If he dares to leave the mountain, I'll make sure he never returns!"

The ninth-level Martial Dao practitioners all sneered coldly, thinking that whether Chu Nan wished to accept the challenge or not, he was doomed.

"In my opinion, that coward Chu Nan won't dare to accept our challenge; he's just a scared turtle."

Gu Nianxue was full of indignation when she heard this. To her, Chu Nan was no coward.

"Who said I'm a coward? Aren't you afraid I'll make you a turtle first?"

Suddenly, a cold laugh came from not far away, and everyone was shocked, then turned to look.

They saw Chu Nan slowly walking out from the crowd, and as he passed, people made way so he could walk straight to those ninth-level Martial Dao disciples.

Chu Nan's cold gaze swept over these people, then asked, "Are you the ones who want to challenge me?"

A brawny man sneered and stepped forward, clenching his fist at Chu Nan: "Chu Nan, I advise you to cripple your own cultivation and go kowtow to Chu Hai and confess."

"Otherwise, when we get to the arena, I'll personally take action!"

Song Qiang's fist made a cracking sound, his threatening intent clear.

Just as Chu Nan was about to agree to the fight, Gu Nianxue quickly came over to stop him and said, "Chu Nan, Song Qiang is a ninth-level Martial Dao, you're no match for him."

"Why not stay with my father for a while so you can reach the ninth level of Martial Dao before fighting."

Upon hearing this, Song Qiang was instantly furious and said, "Wench, who told you to speak!"
