I Have A Trillion Protagonist Halos

After speaking, Su Zhan's true qi surged, directly sending the three of them flying away.

Without even lifting a hand, the four inner disciples at the Essence Condensation Realm had already crashed to the ground, looking at Su Zhan in astonishment, no longer daring to approach.

"Next, it's your turn." Su Zhan looked at Zhao Li.

At this moment, Zhao Li was also confused. Wasn't he a new disciple? How did his four little brothers get knocked away in a blink of an eye?

Damn, could new disciples be this powerful??

Zhao Li forced a smile and said, "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"

"Aren't you planning to collect protection fees from me anymore?"

"No, I won't collect them! Junior Brother, you can leave!" Zhao Li smiled apologetically.

"If you're not collecting, then I will!"

Su Zhan smiled, "You guys obstructed the way and demanded protection fees from me, which caused me to waste a lot of time and energy. It would be better if you all handed over your storage rings to me!"

…

"It's terrifying! Too terrifying!"

"This person's cultivation seems to only be at the mid-stage of the Essence Condensation Realm, but his true essence power is probably much stronger than the late-stage of the Essence Condensation Realm!"

"True essence power is one thing, but his defensive technique seems to have already reached the pinnacle level. I struck with all my strength, yet I couldn't break through his defense!"

Watching those people looking terrified, Zhao Li's face turned dark. "A bunch of useless trash! We didn't even collect the spirit stones, instead, we ended up losing everything!"

"Senior Brother Zhao, don't you know the top inner disciple, Senior Brother Luan Jian? Should we ask him for help?" An Essence Condensation Realm disciple spoke cautiously.

"Do I need you to tell me this?"

Zhao Li sneered, "Today, I was humiliated by a new disciple. If this matter gets out, how can I continue to survive in the inner sect? Quickly catch up to that person, find out where he lives, and I will ask Senior Brother Luan Jian to help us retrieve our belongings and give him a good lesson!"

Upon hearing this, the four Essence Condensation Realm inner disciples showed delight.

If Luan Jian took action, Su Zhan would definitely obediently return their things! They could also take this opportunity to redeem themselves!

…

An hour later, Su Zhan arrived at White Cloud Peak.

White Cloud Peak was protected by a formation barrier. Except for the true disciples and the maidservants responsible for attending to the true disciples' daily lives, no one else could enter.

Of course, Su Zhan was an exception.

He approached the invisible formation barrier with a token in his hand, and the barrier instantly opened up an entrance.

Entering inside, Su Zhan began climbing White Cloud Peak.

White Cloud Peak was rarely visited, and even when Su Zhan reached the cave mansion on Peak Seventeen, he hadn't encountered anyone.

But that was normal. In the vast White Cloud Peak, there were only around twenty true disciples residing there, and with their attendants, the total number wouldn't exceed two hundred people.

The cave mansion of Peak Seventeen was quite spacious, with medicinal fields, ponds, gardens… and even a small mountain peak measuring a hundred meters high right next to the backyard.

After taking a stroll and marveling at the grandeur of this wealthy estate, Su Zhan began his cultivation.

"There's still half a month until the next opening of the White Cloud Peak Spiritual Gathering Formation. With the help of the formation, I should be able to break through to the late stage of the Essence Condensation Realm. During this period, I'll focus on martial arts practice! I'll temporarily set aside the Sun Flame Scripture after grasping the basics. After all, I'll be able to progress quickly through cultivation in the Spiritual Gathering Formation!"

After pondering for a while, Su Zhan officially began his cultivation.

The Sun Flame Scripture started circulating, attracting the gathering spiritual energy of heaven and earth. At the same time, the sun high in the sky emitted a domineering force that infused into his body.

It was the power of the Great Sun drawn by the Great Sun Divine Body. It could temper the divine body and make the true qi more refined!

…

Within the Inner Sect of Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect.

By a lakeside.

Luan Jian, the renowned top genius of the Inner Sect, had a gloomy expression as his gaze fell upon Zhao Li, who was speaking incessantly ahead. He coldly said, "Are you sure about what you're saying? How could he, an inner sect disciple, possibly enter White Cloud Peak?"

"It's absolutely true!"

Zhao Li hurriedly replied, "Junior Brother, I saw it with my own eyes! And he truly only has the cultivation of the Essence Condensation Realm. Besides, the true disciples residing in White Cloud Peak are publicly known to everyone. Could I be mistaken about whether he is a true disciple or not?"

"The Essence Condensation Realm… An inner sect disciple actually resides in White Cloud Peak?"

"It is not unprecedented for an inner sect disciple to reside in White Cloud Peak, but it has only been the case for extremely outstanding geniuses within the inner sect, such as Senior Brother Luan Jian, like yourself!"

Zhao Li expressed an indignant look as if defending Luan Jian, "That Su Zhan, what qualifications does he have to reside in White Cloud Peak? It should be Senior Brother, shouldn't it?"

"In terms of strength, I, Luan Jian, am the number one in the inner sect. In terms of talent, I am also the number one in the inner sect. How can a newly admitted inner sect disciple be more valued by the sect than me? What's the reason behind this?" Luan Jian was somewhat annoyed.

Zhao Li said, "Senior Brother Luan Jian, maybe it's just a momentary confusion on the part of the elders. As long as you defeat that Su Zhan, it will prove that you are more outstanding than him. By then, it will definitely be you who will reside in White Cloud Peak!"

"White Cloud Peak…" Luan Jian took a deep breath and said with a gloomy expression, "I'll help you with this matter, but I can't enter White Cloud Peak. You send people to keep watch day and night, and when he comes out, I will publicly challenge him!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother! This time, Senior Brother will surely gain fame and reclaim the position of White Cloud Peak that belongs to you!" Zhao Li was overjoyed and bowed.

"Let's go, don't disturb my cultivation. That Su Zhan is no different from an ant to me. I still need to improve my cultivation as soon as possible and strive to break through to the Martial Master Realm as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Senior Brother!"

…

Half a month later.

White Cloud Peak.

Thousands of inner sect disciples gathered around White Cloud Peak, all with excited expressions.

Some outer sect disciples who had gained entry into the inner sect through connections also arrived near White Cloud Peak.

Today was the day the Spiritual Gathering Formation would be activated.

At that time, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would turn into raindrops and descend, with the twenty-three true disciples of White Cloud Peak absorbing the Spiritual Rain according to their respective talents!

The stronger one's talent, the more Spiritual Rain they will absorb. On the surface, this is just a cultivation session, but in reality, it is also a competition among the true disciples.

In fact, based on this, there have been many gambling opportunities involving Spirit Stones within the inner sect.

"I am certain that my Senior Brother Qi Yang will be the first in this Spiritual Rain competition!"

"What do you mean by ‘your Senior Brother Qi Yang'? He is mine!"

"Senior Brother Qi Yang is gentle, but I prefer Senior Brother Wang Hao's masculinity! Senior Brother Wang Hao will definitely win!"

…

Female disciples of the inner sect argued in various pavilions and teahouses around White Cloud Peak.

Not only these disciples, but even the elders came near White Cloud Peak to witness this quarterly Spiritual Rain competition.

On this day, Su Zhan walked out of his seclusion chamber and arrived in the open front yard, ready to undergo the baptism of the Spiritual Rain.
