I Have A Martial Arts Panel

Chapter 119: Inner Sect Training

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yuelan Sect.

Inner sect.

‘From now on, I will be an inner disciple of the Yuelan Sect.’

Xu Ning was carrying his waist paiza, clothing, room key, and a Pure Source Pill that he had just received as a reward for new disciples.

Just this morning, all of the 30 people who failed the core disciple selection test were taken to the inner sect to seal their identity as inner sect disciples.

“Xu Ning, what are you going to do next?”

Gu Qinghe and Xu Ning had gotten closer with each other; they were no longer acquaintances.

When Gu Qinghe asked Xu Ning this question, he was also confused.

As inner disciples, their degree of freedom was very high.

Except for completing missions at least once every three months, as long as they didn’t leave the sect, they could do almost anything they wanted.

Whether they practiced or had fun, no one cared.

“Do missions and strive to get a void realm secret scroll as soon as possible.”

Xu Ning had already planned for this.

After receiving their supplies just now, Xu Ning and Gu Qinghe strolled around the inner sect.

In the Materials Hall, they saw the price for middle-grade and inferior-grade void realm secret scrolls.

After going through them, an inferior-grade void realm secret scroll cost 100 contribution points, while a middle-grade void realm secret scroll cost 200 sect contribution points.

In the inner sect, contribution points could be exchanged for Pure Source Pills, with a ratio of ten to one.

Ten contribution points could be exchanged for one Pure Source Pill.

However, the Materials Hall did not support the exchange in both ways.

“Yes, it’s most important to get a void realm secret scroll first.”

Gu Qinghe thought that what Xu Ning was saying was reasonable. “A middle-grade void realm secret scroll costs only 200 contribution points, which is really not expensive. I went through some of the missions in the Mission Hall, and some of the rewards are paid with hundreds of contribution points.”

“But those missions that pay huge amounts of contribution points are beyond our abilities.”

Xu Ning said, “Those missions are for the void realm disciples of the inner sect.”

Inside the inner sect, there were also void realm disciples.

When void realm disciples advanced to the void realm fourth stage, they could choose to leave the inner sect and become a deacon of the sect, allowing them to be in charge of external affairs.

If they did a good job, they might become an elder of the sect in the future.

But because they were from the inner sect, they could not compete for the position of sect master.

“That’s true.”

Gu Qinghe felt a little regretful. “It would be great if Pure Source Pills can be exchanged for contribution points. If it is possible, I can ask my family to send me some Pure Source Pills and exchange it for some contribution points.”

After getting to know each other better, Xu Ning had figured out Gu Qinghe’s identity.

He was a bastard son of the contemporary family head of the Gu family in Gushan Canton, and he was sent here because of his outstanding talent.

His family could indeed provide him with resources.

“Why can’t Pure Source Pills be exchanged for contribution points?”

Xu Ning said, “It’s just not possible at the Materials Hall. Inner disciples can definitely exchange with each other, but if you do this privately, it will be at a premium. A Pure Source Pill may be exchanged for less than ten contribution points.”

“It’s fine if it’s less than ten. At least, it will save me a lot of effort.”

Gu Qinghe was confident that he had his family to support him. “If it weren’t for that killer on the road, I wouldn’t have lost the 50 Pure Source Pills that I had carried with me. Even at a premium, I can exchange them for two middle-grade void realm secret scrolls. One for you, and one for me.”

Gu Qinghe spoke with anger in his voice. He obviously thought of Duan Xuefeng who had become a core disciple.

“You really are wealthy.”

Xu Ning smiled when Gu Qinghe said this.

Gu Qinghe was indeed a good friend.

“When I get back to my room and clean up, I will send a letter to my home and have my dad send me another 50 Pure Source Pills.”

Gu Qinghe said.

“Aren’t Pure Source Pills very rare in the outside world?”

Xu Ning remembered that Feng Chengyu had only obtained 30 Pure Source Pills with the help of her status as the family head.

“It is…”

Gu Qinghe scratched his head. “However, my father has been nice to me ever since I was a child. If he worked hard, he should be able to get 50 more Pure Source Pills.”

Xu Ning was speechless.

“Let’s go back home. After we pack up our stuff, I have to go to the Mission Hall and look at the available missions.”

Xu Ning didn’t want to wait around for a single second. He just wanted to earn contribution points, then redeem them for a middle-grade void realm secret scroll.

…

In the afternoon.

Xu Ning came to the Mission Hall.

Gu Qinghe didn’t go with him, instead he was writing a letter to his family.

The Mission Hall at this time was full of people.

Although the sect had no requirements for inner sect disciples, since they came to the Yuelan Sect, most of them were still motivated in their pursuit of martial arts.

In order to obtain the necessary resources for their martial arts practice, everyone was willing to complete missions.

‘Let’s see if there are any missions I can take.’

On the wall of the Mission Hall, there were black boards filled with descriptions of various missions.

If the mission was accepted by someone, someone would take it off and update it with a new mission.

‘Mission content: Ten feathers from a void realm Night Hunting Snow Eagle; mission reward: 150 contribution points; mission time limit: unlimited; remarks: none.’

‘Mission content: eliminate the Danggushan Horse Bandits; mission reward: 300 contribution points; mission time limit: three months; remarks: none.’

‘Mission content…’

Missions were placed in front of Xu Ning’s eyes.

Some of these missions were commissioned by the faction, while some were commissioned by individuals.

“There are a lot of missions.”

Xu Ning was dazzled. The more choices, the harder it was to choose.

Some missions, although the rewards were attractive, were too dangerous.

Some missions were relatively simple, but had low rewards and were time-consuming.

This was the first time Xu Ning would conduct a mission, so he wanted to stay on the safe side.

“What?”

Xu Ning saw a mission description in the corner.

‘Mission content: sparring partner for void realm secret technique practice; mission reward: 10 contribution points/day; mission time limit: long-term; remarks: spirit realm warrior, mastered a void realm secret technique.’

‘This seems to suit me well.’

Xu Ning was interested in this mission.

This mission must be a private commission, and the opposite party should also be an inner disciple.

He wouldn’t have to go out of the faction, so there was no danger involved.

In addition to this, Xu Ning had already cultivated the Flame Breath Bone Sutra to the third level.

Even if he suffered from some minor injuries during the sparring session, he would recover quickly.

So overall, this mission was quite suited for Xu Ning.

’10 contribution points every day. It’s quite a lot.’

Xu Ning thought in his mind, ‘As long as I work for 20 days, I can get the 200 contribution points needed to buy a void realm secret scroll.’

As long as Xu Ning got his hands on a void realm secret scroll, he could immediately break through the realms with the help of the remaining 15 Pure Source Pills.

‘This one.’

After Xu Ning decided, he quickly went to the counter to line up.

If someone accepted this mission while he was in the queue, he wouldn’t have a chance to accept this mission anymore.

But Xu Ning was quite lucky, as the mission was still there after he finished queuing up.

“Which mission do you wish to accept?”

The mission receptionist in front of the counter was a young girl who was also an inner disciple. She was working at the Mission Hall to obtain more Pure Source Pills.

Xu Ning described the mission he wanted.

“Sure, that mission has not been claimed yet.”

The girl took out a piece of paper. “Tell me your information.”

Xu Ning said his name and the house number of his residence.

The girl recorded it and handed another piece of the mission details to Xu Ning.

“Take this and you can do the mission.”

“Thanks a lot.”

Xu Ning took it and walked out of the Mission Hall.

‘Mission requester: Le Caiwei; mission location: Spring Moon Courtyard Room 16.”

Xu Ning looked at the mission location and was a little surprised.

Spring Moon Courtyard was where the elites of the inner sect lived.

Ordinary inner disciples, like Xu Ning and Gu Qinghe, lived in ordinary rooms. Although they were individual rooms, they were relatively small.

However, the advantage of such rooms was that there was no need to pay for rent.

On the other hand, the Spring Moon Courtyard contained single-family houses.

In the inner sect, living in a place like this required a large sum of Pure Source Pills every month.

“Le Caiwei isn’t a void realm warrior, right?”

Xu Ning said doubtfully.

Generally speaking, people who lived in the Spring Moon Courtyard had a strong family background, and most of them were void realm disciples.

“Probably not…”

Immediately, Xu Ning rejected this idea.

A void realm warrior would never practice a void realm secret technique with a spirit realm warrior. After all, this kind of practice was too weak to be effective.

‘Since she’s not a void realm warrior, then her family background must be strong.’

Xu Ning looked at the information on the paper. ‘Should I go to find Le Caiwei tomorrow, or should I go now?’

The mission paid 10 contribution points a day for the sparring session, but it was already in the afternoon, so they could spar for half a day at most.

‘Forget about it, I’ll go and take a look first. I have nothing to do anyway.’

Xu Ning put away the mission details and walked towards the Spring Moon Courtyard.

In the morning, Xu Ning had already mapped out the inner sect, so Xu Ning was not afraid of getting lost.

‘Spring Moon Courtyard Room 16.’

Soon after, Xu Ning found the location.

Xu Ning walked to the door and knocked on the door.

Soon after, he heard the sound of footsteps and the door opened.

He saw a chubby girl standing in the courtyard. “Who are you?”

“I’m Xu Ning, I claimed the sparring mission from Le Caiwei.”

The chubby girl heard him and said, “Come in.”

“Sister Caiwei, the sparring partner for your mission is here.”

The chubby girl shouted into the loft of the house.

Xu Ning realized that Le Caiwei was someone else.

A tall woman suddenly walked out. She looked to be in her late twenties.

She was not wearing the clothes of an inner disciple, instead she wore a dark green dress.

“I’m Xu Ning, and I accepted your mission.”

Xu Ning handed over the mission details.

Le Caiwei took a look and then returned it.

Her attitude was neither warm nor cold. “You are in the mortal realm ninth stage, have you practiced a void realm secret technique?”

“Yes.”

Xu Ning replied.

He didn’t care about Le Caiwei’s attitude as long as Le Caiwei gave him the contribution points.

“Let’s spar for a bit first.”

Le Caiwei motioned Xu Ning to walk to the open space in the courtyard.

“Sister Le.”

Xu Ning said, “It’s afternoon already. If we start sparring now, what about the contribution points?”

“Ten.”

Le Caiwei answered simply.

“Okay.”

Xu Ning smiled.

‘How generous.’

“But I have to test your strength first. If you are too weak, then I have to ask you to leave.”

Le Caiwei said.

“Sure.”

Xu Ning was prepared to fight.

Seeing this, Le Caiwei waved her fists and swung at his face.

‘Her void realm secret technique is also a punching technique.’

Xu Ning was also ready to face Le Caiwei.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two punched at each other.

Because it was just a spar and that Xu Ning was on the defensive side, he didn’t take the initiative to attack, so all of his Tidal Fist moves were defensive.

“What?”

Le Caiwei punched out and saw that Xu Ning could easily block her punches.

She narrowed her eyes and the speed of her punches increased again.

‘Le Caiwei’s punching technique is completely opposite to Tidal Fist.’

Xu Ning dissected Le Caiwei’s punch. ‘Tidal Fist is tough and powerful, one punch is more powerful than the other. Although it is a secret technique of the ‘water’ characteristic, it is extremely fierce, like a hurricane wave.’

‘But Le Caiwei’s punches are light and fast. Between each punch, there is a feminine dark force, which causes her opponent to feel out of control.’

Xu Ning quickly figured out the essence of Le Caiwei’s punching technique.

“Your strength is not bad.”

Le Caiwei attacked continuously, but she still couldn’t find any flaw in Xu Ning’s defense.

She smiled with satisfaction. “I found several sparring partners in the past, but no one is your level. You not only mastered a void realm secret technique, but also a punching technique like me, which is beneficial to me.”

“In this case, before I advance to the void realm, you will be my sparring partner.”

Le Caiwei was very satisfied with Xu Ning.

“Come on, this time, you attack me.”

Le Caiwei said to Xu Ning.

“Okay.”

Xu Ning answered.

Le Caiwei wanted to practice her defensive punching skills.

‘Practicing a void realm secret technique is so troublesome.’

Whether it was a void realm secret technique or a mortal realm external skill, Xu Ning used the Martial Arts Panel to improve.

Xu Ning absorbed all of the techniques and routines after advancing.

However, martial artists such as Le Caiwei could only improve through practice, sparring, and even actual combat.

“Here!”

This time, Xu Ning took the initiative to attack.

Xu Ning used a Tidal Fist punch combo.

Because he was not facing a real enemy, Xu Ning only used single strength punches.

If he used double strength punches, Le Caiwei might not be able to defend against it.

Xu Ning inferred that her void realm punching technique was only in the first level, and there was still some gap before she could reach level two.

“You aren’t using your full strength!”

Le Caiwei realized that Xu Ning was holding back, so she punched out and said, “Show me all your strength!”

“All my strength?”

Xu Ning knew very well that if he used quadruple strength punches, Le Caiwei’s defense would collapse, and within five punches, Le Caiwei would lose consciousness.

‘I’ll use double strength punches first.’

Internal Qi began to surge in Xu Ning’s body.

“What?”

Le Caiwei suddenly felt a sense of danger.

‘His next punch seems… very strong!’
