Long Road to Stardom

Chapter 220 Fighting Arena

The amount of spiritual awareness consumed by the sword formation was indeed too huge. If she had not practiced the "Spiritual Refining Technique" first, she would not have been able to set it up even if she had the fifth natal sword.

Lin Xing stood in the sword formation and could clearly feel the crisscrossing sword energy inside the formation.

Fortunately, she was the one who set up the sword formation, so the sword energy would bypass her and would not cause any harm to her.

Lin Xing condensed a giant sword in the sword formation and slashed forward.

"boom..."

A loud bang echoed throughout the trial field, and it was heard continuously.

Fortunately, this trial field is strong enough, otherwise it might have been split in half by Lin Xing's sword.

"What a powerful force."

Lin Xing looked at the chasm on the ground and sighed.

It was her first time using the sword formation, so she was still a little unskilled.

During the one month in the trial field, Lin Xing was able to easily set up a sword formation, but he could only launch six attacks at most before his spiritual energy was exhausted.

After leaving the trial field, Lin Xing returned to his residence.

Not long after she left, the monk who was repairing the trial field saw the scene inside and his face was filled with disbelief.

The trial field was filled with crisscrossing sword marks, without even a single intact spot to be seen.

He can still feel a hint of sword intent from these sword marks.

Penglai Island is about to open, and there are quite a few chosen ones coming to the trial field, but this is the first time he has seen a trial field turned out like this.

The spirit stones spent on this repair are more than those handed in by the monks who came to this trial field.

"It's really a compensation deal!"

Lin Xing left the trial field and headed straight for his current residence.

Although her strength has indeed improved greatly during this period, she still feels a little unsatisfied.

After thinking for a long time, she decided to practice the secret techniques in the body-building exercise 'Fengwu Baolu'.

She had previously practiced this body-building technique purely for the purpose of overcoming the tribulation, and had never considered practicing the secret techniques within it.

Now, her thoughts have changed a little. As long as she can improve her strength, learning one more secret skill will increase her chances of survival. Although she may not necessarily use it, it is always good for her to learn it.

She knew that she was influenced by later generations and was not interested in this kind of secret technique that required close combat, but now strength was the most important thing. Every bit of improvement was worth it. It didn't matter whether she liked it or not. The one who had the last laugh was the truth.

In fact, what she hoped most was to break through to the next level of the body-building technique, but the further she progressed, the harder it became to make progress. After so many years, there was really no improvement at all. However, she still maintained the habit of training her body whenever she had time.

With an idea for the next step, Lin Xing came to the training room and looked through the secret techniques in the "Wind Dance Treasure Record".

She naturally started by learning the simplest secret technique, the 'Heaven Shaking Fist'.

When she saw the description of the mastery of the 'Heaven Shaking Fist', her eyes lit up instantly.

Using this secret technique can gather all the strength of the body into the fist and launch a punch.

The power depends on how well the practitioner has practiced this secret technique. If the practitioner can practice this secret technique to the extreme, even space can be torn apart.

To practice the secret skill of 'Heaven Shaking Fist', one must at least break through the 'Phoenix Dance Record' to the second level before practicing it.

Lin Xing has naturally met this requirement.

Start trying it immediately.

After a few days, Lin Xing always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't figure out why.

He gathered all his strength into his fists and swung them again and again.

Although he was able to perform it completely, he couldn't get the point. It was clear that the power was far from what was described in the technique.

Lin Xing collapsed on the ground again due to exhaustion, but still made no progress.

"Why exactly?"

She stared at her fist in a daze, confused.

Suddenly, Lin Xing seemed to have thought of something. She, who was exhausted, sat up straight, clenched her fists and laughed. She was actually a little narrow-minded.

"If a close combat secret technique doesn't improve the opponent, it will only make him a reckless man swinging his fists."

After understanding his problem, Lin Xing recovered and left his residence and came to the fighting arena of Tianyuan City.

The 'Fighting Arena' has two modes. One is to fight with simulated monsters in a separate space.

Another way is to fight against captured monsters, but it must be done in the Colosseum.

Monks had to sign a life and death contract to enter the Colosseum. A lot of monks came to the Colosseum to watch this life and death fight.

The owner of this fighting arena will charge a certain amount of spirit stones for entry to each fight, and will also be the banker and accept bets. There are a lot of cultivators placing bets, and there are many who have become rich overnight, and there are even more who have lost everything in an instant.

The main source of income for the fighting arena is from this Colosseum.

Lin Xing is not so stubborn yet, so he naturally chooses to fight with the simulated monster.

After paying the spirit stone, I got the token to open the space.

He walked to a door, took out the token in his hand and shone it, and the door opened instantly.

Lin Xing didn't think much about it and walked in.

As soon as he came in, he saw a first-order initial stage demon beast, which was equivalent to a cultivator at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage.

"We're not going to start from the lowest level monsters!"

Lin Xing said speculatively, but no one responded to what she said.

But this was exactly what she wanted.

She suppressed her cultivation to the same level as the monster in front of her.

Then he rushed forward and punched him.

Instead of killing the monster with one punch as imagined, the monster dodged the punch and took the blow.

If she had not practiced the body-building technique, at the same level, she might have been seriously injured by this monster.

"Sure enough, I thought this secret technique was too simple."

Lin Xing said secretly in his heart, and then punched out again.

Although it hit the target this time, it was still deflected, which instead aroused the monster's rage.

After all, it was just an early stage first-order monster. After being hit by several "Heaven-shaking Fists", it fell to the ground and couldn't get up. It disappeared into the air in a short while.

As the world changed, a new monster appeared in this space. It was a first-order mid-stage monster, equivalent to a cultivator at about the tenth level of the Qi Refining Stage.

Lin Xing did not raise her realm because she was afraid that the monsters at the same realm would be too weak to fight.

The next second, she paid the price for her actions. She was kicked away by the monster and fell heavily to the ground.

"Yes, this is the feeling she wants."

Lin Xing stood up. There was no sign of disappointment on his face from being kicked away. Instead, he looked excited and rushed forward while staring at the monster in front of him.

This time she lasted much longer, and was kicked away again. The monster in front of her was also beaten up by her and was covered with scars.

She seemed to ignore the pain in her body and rushed forward again.

"One punch. Two punches. Three punches..."

Even the powerful monster couldn't withstand such a blow and was soon killed by Lin Xing.

Retreating to the outside of a red line in this space, Lin Xing sat in meditation to recover from his injuries.
