I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Inner Peak Tournament

Translator: 549690339

Han Yi walked out of the courtyard and went down the path from Little Lingxu Peak, noticing the anxious and excited expressions on the faces of his junior disciples on their way up and down the peak.

Stopping a familiar junior disciple, Han Yi asked a few questions and finally remembered that the competition between the Inner and Outer Peaks of the Xuandan Sect had already been going on for a while.

“Brother Han, you just found out? The Inner Peak competition started first and will last for a whole month.”

“After the Inner Peak competition, the Outer Peak competition will begin and last even longer, a full six months.”

“During this time, the disciples of the Outer Peak are all crowded on Combat Peak to watch the matches. It’s so exciting!”

“Brother Han, don’t tell me you don’t even know about Combat Peak. It seems you’ve been in seclusion for at least a month. Let me tell you…”

The familiar junior disciple explained for a while, then hurried down the mountain. Han Yi stood still, with curiosity rising on his face.

“The modified special mountain peak, Combat Peak.”

“Quite a lot of activity.”

The ‘Combat Peak’ mentioned by the junior disciple just now isn’t actually one of the Inner and Outer Peaks. It’s not more than a hundred meters high, instead, its top is flat. Rather than a mountain peak, it’s more like a broad platform about a hundred meters high.

Combat Peak was specially prepared by the sect for the competitions between the Inner and Outer Peak disciples, a section of a mountain brought from the depths of the Xuandan Mountain Range. This mountain section is made of a special material with ultra-high hardness, which was selected for this purpose.

The location of Combat Peak lies at the junction between the Inner and Outer Peaks. That flat area was selected to place this mountain section.

Since half a month ago, Combat Peak has already been the battleground, with the Inner Peak disciples taking the stage first.

All disciples of the Inner Peak are allowed to sign up, and in the end, they will be ranked according to their combat strength. The disciples ranked in the top one hundred will receive generous rewards.

It is said that the disciples ranked in the top ten can even be granted the invaluable Foundation Establishment Pill.

That’s the Foundation Establishment Pill, one of the most important resources needed for cultivators to step from the peak of the Qi Refining stage into the Foundation Establishment stage.

The value of a Foundation Establishment Pill in the market is at least 2000 mid-grade Spirit Stones, although it’s actually priceless.

Ever since Han Yi crossed over, his wealth had never even reached 1000 mid-grade Spirit Stones, let alone 2000.

Even Foundation Establishment stage high-quality magic tools were only priced between 1000 and 10000 mid-grade Spirit Stones, which means the value of a Foundation Establishment Pill is comparable to that of a regular high-quality magic tool.

This made all the Inner Peak disciples go crazy. Basically, those who thought they were strong enough all signed up. Even if they couldn’t make it into the top ten, getting into the top hundred would still yield many valuable rewards.

“Foundation Establishment Pill, alas. My realm isn’t high enough. Even if I got a Foundation Establishment Pill, I probably couldn’t keep it.”

Han Yi shook his head, knowing that although he had broken through to the Qi Refining stage seven, he was still far from the Immortal Path Foundation Building. The Foundation Establishment Pill would be useless for him, besides, it could attract the attention of the Qi Refining stage nine cultivators from the Inner Peak.

Secret attacks are hard to guard against, and he didn’t want to be constantly vigilant against thieves for a thousand days.

Moreover, Han Yi knew that even if he really took part in the competition, he might not be able to make it into the top ten.

Although he had advanced to the Qi Refining stage seven, his cultivation base had just slightly stabilized, and he still needed some time to transform this realm breakthrough into actual combat power.

He didn’t think he could win against the senior brothers at the peak of the Qi Refining stage nine from the Inner Peak.

Furthermore, even if he could win, he wouldn’t compete. Even if he couldn’t defeat the peak stage nine cultivators, if he managed to beat regular stage nine senior brothers, it would still cause a huge stir.

Being too high-profile could easily make him a target, especially since he had just provoked the Blood God Sect, and Han Yi was on alert for some secret attacks.

When he arrived at Combat Peak, which the previous junior disciple had spoken about, he saw countless disciples densely surrounding the broad platform, their eyes staring intently at the central area.

In the central area, there was the Combat Platform, which was three meters higher than the rest of the platform.

At this moment, on the Combat Platform, two young men wearing the cyan robes of the inner sect were fiercely fighting.

Han Yi used his divine sense to examine them. These two young men should both be at the Qi Refining stage eight. Both were controlling a mid-grade magic tool as they attacked each other.

Han Yi watched for three breaths of time, then secretly shook his head.

“This one’s control of the magic power within his body isn’t subtle enough. When controlling the magic tool, there’s always a slight delay at critical moments, which would be a fatal flaw on the battlefield.”

“The one on the other side has poor skill. He’s using too much force, to the point where it’s actually counterproductive.”

“If I were to face them, I would only need two Wind Demon Daggers, and I could kill them in just three breaths.”

Han Yi suddenly had a thought in his inner heart.

“I can’t personally participate in the battle, but I can learn from observing others’ fights, absorb their experience, and simulate the battle.”

“Although this method is not as effective as personally participating in the battle, it can still accumulate theoretical experience.”

“This path is feasible.”

Han Yi’s heart was delighted.

He had indeed overlooked this aspect before. It was only when he was at the Combat Peak that he suddenly remembered that he could also learn from watching the battles and absorb the experiences of others to make up for his shortcomings and start with the theory.

“Moreover, when I return to the courtyard every day, 1 can imagine my opponent in front of me, in an attacking state, and what I should do to win quickly.”

The more Han Yi thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.

Learning from others and making up for one’s shortcomings, the disciples who participated in the battle made progress, and those who watched from the side could also gain experience.

He suddenly realized it was no wonder the sect’s upper echelons encouraged and even required inner and outer disciples to watch the grand competition of battles.

His vision was too narrow.

Han Yi suddenly understood the sect’s painstaking efforts.

Since their failure in the struggle against the Blood God Sect, the Xuandan Sect had spared no expense in launching a series of measures, all aimed at improving the fighting strength of the sect’s disciples.

Suddenly.

There was a sudden change in the battlefield. A youth with poor technique and excessive force was hit by the opponent’s magical weapon, vomiting blood and flying back, fainting on the spot.

“What a pity, I originally had high hopes for Brother Zhu. 1 didn’t expect Brother Zhu to be defeated and stop at the top 200.”

“Brother Li is strong, I guessed it right.”

“There’s a limit to being strong. Even if he enters the top 200, he will stop there.”

The surrounding disciples discussed for a while, then quieted down.

Meanwhile, on the Combat Platform, there were professionals from the sect to tidy up and provide medical treatment. A moment later, the second battle continued.

Han Yi found a corner, sat down to watch, with bright eyes, constantly judging and analyzing in his mind, putting himself into a certain battling role, and imagining what he would do if he encountered the opponent.

Time quietly slipped away, and the night grew darker.

It wasn’t until one of the Foundation Establishment Elders on duty at the Combat Platform announced the end of the grand competition for the day and asked everyone to come back tomorrow that Han Yi reluctantly got up and left.

The many disciples surrounding the Combat Platform also gradually dispersed.

Throughout the day, Han Yi had forgotten to apply for the Inner Sect verification.

He used to be eager to enter the Inner Peak, but now, after advancing to the seventh layer of Qi Refining, he wasn’t in such a hurry. There was no need to rush for something that was a sure thing.

Upon returning to his courtyard at Little Lingxu Peak, Han Yi began to imagine fighting against enemies and then used the Wind Demon Dagger to attack.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

In the backyard, three daggers intertwined and formed a net, showing their killing intent.

Yes, after advancing to the seventh layer of Qi Refining, Han Yi could now control three Wind Demon Daggers simultaneously.

Moreover, according to his estimation, he could control up to five Wind Demon Daggers at the same time within the realm of the seventh layer of Qi Refining. Only by advancing to the eighth layer of Qi Refining could he completely control the seven daggers and bring out the strongest state of this set of middle-grade magical weapons.

Even though he could only use three daggers at the moment, he was extremely satisfied.

At this moment, his combat power was more than twice as strong as when he was in Tianqing City. He was confident that he could quickly resolve three opponents at the seventh layer of Qi Refining.

As for facing a common eighth layer Qi Refining cultivator… well, that was hard to estimate since the only one he had fought was the twisted youth holding the Golden Light Shuttle, and he was by no means an ordinary eighth-layer Qi Refining cultivator.

Boom!

His focus was distracted, and one of the daggers slammed into a fake mountain in the backyard, shattering it instantly. Rocks splattered, and dust roared. Han Yi waved his hand, and the dust dispersed..
