The days were changing rapidly, over the past few days Lei Tian who had already grasped the concept of the illusionary body technique had managed to train him to a higher level of comprehension. This certainly could not be separated from the enlightenment he had obtained from the Lightning Dragon pendant within his sea of consciousness.
During that time he had also managed to form a shadow similar to his original body. Nevertheless he continued to train it to the extreme level where the shape of his body shadow not only followed his original form but could also move it as he wished.
At this moment Lei Tian was focusing his strength to form two shadows of himself.
"Glups"
"Glups"
Two illusory body shapes appeared beside Lei Tian's body, then both bodies released the same energy to execute a lightning blow.
Although not as strong as his original body, the illusory body could still have a terrifying aura that could trick the other party.
"Huh.. I finally made it" Lei Tian muttered happily.
Although he did not try to do so with a direct attack, he was quite confident in his new strength. Lei Tian was unwilling to make any unnecessary noises as he was worried that it would disturb the concentration of his two companions who were cultivating.
The sun started to sink as Yun Zixin and Shan Yuze opened their eyes, the smell of grilled fish nearby had awakened them from their cultivation.
"It's fragrant" Yun Zixin said with a hungry stare.
"How is your strength developing?" lei Tian asked who was not far away from the two of them.
"Haha.. Thank you for your help I have now managed to break through to the Intermediate Level Preferred Hero" Yun Zixin said.
"I also experienced the same thing" Shan Yuze said.
"Good, you better eat first" Lei Tian said with a delighted expression.
"It looks like tomorrow morning is when the game will start. What about your preparations? yun Zixin asked Lei Tian curiously.
"All I have prepared well, you don't have to worry" Lei Tian replied as he gave some cooked grilled fish.
"Good then, forgive us for not having time to accompany you to practice" Yun Zixin said seriously.
"It's okay, I've prepared it from afar" Lei Tian said casually.
"It seems that you are no stranger to this place" asked the somewhat curious Yun Zixin.
He alone did not dare to be around this place, it is said that this place is often visited by an Elder. So the outer disciples did not dare to tease or fear interfering with the existence of the elder.
"Since I learned the techniques I obtained from the library, I've been here to study them" Lei Tian said truthfully.
"It is better that you eat quickly, it will soon be dark and we will have to return to the residence to rest" Lei Tian said.
"Yes, of course" answered his two best friends while savouring grilled fish.
After they briefly talked about the experience of cultivating, now the three immediately returned to his residence.
Inside the outer disciple Pavilion, the whereabouts of Lei Tian and his two companions were now the center of attention. Moreover, until the last day of enrollment there were only ten people who signed up, and it was all students who had held the title of top students.
Only Tao Ming did not register, for a few days he did not leave his residence because he might already have no face if he had to face others.
Until the next morning the awaited day arrived, all the outer disciples immediately gathered in the main hall of the outer disciples that had been decorated with a large stage for the match between the outer disciples.
"Let's get going soon" Yun Zixin took with her excitedly.
Among the three people, only Yun Zixin had the most enthusiasm.
"Lei Tian, you don't push yourself. This match was followed by two Miss Shui people, then it was certain that one of them would win it. It was also what made the interest of outer students reduced drastically. Not to mention facing Wu Cing's group who was notoriously cunning and ruthless" Yun Zixin lamented later.
"Yes right, you have to be careful of them" Shan Yuze said later.
"Thank you for your concern, I will act to my ability, so you don't have to worry" Lei Tian said warmly.
"Good then, we will always support you" Yun Zixin said as she walked along.
Upon arrival at the main Hall, the three of them split up because Lei Tian would be on the side of the stage with the other participants. While Yun Zixin and Shan Yuze would join the spectators who had already started to crowd the outer disciples main Hall.
Not long after, the event officially began with Elder Fan Guo ascending to the stage. Because the participants were not many, Elder Fan Guo as the person in charge immediately announced the method of conducting the match.
"At this match the participants only consisted of ten people. Because coincidentally, those who followed were those who previously had the title of top disciple then the method applied was an open challenge" Elder Fan Guo said quite loudly.
"Each participant is allowed to challenge the other participants to obtain a ranking increase. In this case rank to the tenth if he wanted to rise in level then he would have to challenge the rank above him. But the higher ranked participants will not experience a rate increase if they win against the lower ranked participants" Elder Fan Guo explained the rules of the match.
The entire audience fell silent listening to the announcement delivered by Elder Fan Guo, this meant that Lei Tian would be ranked tenth in place of Tao Ming who did not register on this occasion.
"Well to shorten the time, the match will start soon and will be led by an officer. While the rules of the match were still the same as before, participants should not kill each other or destroy the cultivation base. Participants will be considered dead if they step off the stage or surrender" Elder Fan Guo said in front of hundreds of outer disciples.
After Elder Fan Guo stepped down, a Deacon went up on stage to introduce the ten disciples who would be contestants. Eight valiant young men and two women who were famous for having beauty immediately climbed onto the stage from the chair where they had sat before.
"At this match, a person who wins the match will get a spirit stone prize of five hundred pieces, in addition to that will get access to the third floor of the library" said the Deacon.
Immediately the sound of applause followed the rumbling of the spectators adorned the main disciple hall. All pairs of eyes were now fixed on the ten disciples who were standing gallantly on the match stage.
