Exciting news for the sect, seeking collection, votes and points!

  Xu Ting's face was as purple as a pig's liver, frighteningly so. In Xu Ting's mind, ever since Li Ke had scattered his Qi, he was nothing but trash, to be toyed with and bullied at will. Who would have thought that Li Ke had endured for a year and a half, cultivating his powers to the ninth level of the Condensing Qi Realm before finally erupting in anger?

  "Do you want to kill me?"

  Xu Ting's chest was spurting fresh blood, although this knife was extremely heavy-handed, but it wouldn't take his life.

  Looking at Li Ke's extremely gloomy gaze, Xu Ting's body couldn't help but tremble. He had previously admitted that the matter of dispersing his Qi was related to him. Thinking about this, his face suddenly turned pale and he cried out: "You can't kill me? I'm an outer sect disciple!"

  Li Ke smiled coldly and said indifferently, "I think this result was already set a year and a half ago! Outer sect disciple... Heh heh... Do you think it's still useful to say these things now?"

  Xu Ting's heart suddenly cooled to the bottom of the valley, his legs were wildly shaking and trembling. A wet sound was heard, and he loudly shouted: "Li Ke, you can't kill me! You haven't reached the Refining Soldier Realm yet, nor are you an inner sect disciple. You don't have the qualifications to kill me! If you kill me now, you will go against the rules of the Double Blade Sect and be put to death!"

  "Kill me, and the Xu family of Hanshui will never let you off!"

  At last, Xu Ting was almost hysterical! In the face of death, he revealed a deep-seated fear.

  "Yes! Eldest brother, you haven't reached the rank of General yet, if you kill him now, it's inevitable that there will be trouble!" Lingyun covered his chest at this time and walked to Li Ke's side. He coldly glanced at Xu Ting, then nodded towards Li Ke: "Eldest brother, don't waste your own time because of such trash...there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!"

  Lingyun's subconscious is saying, killing Xu Ting is not at this moment!

  Li Kemicro frowned, the Double Knife Sect was strict and severe. He had not yet received recognition from the Double Knife Sect, and if he detected that Xu Ting's martial soul level was not that of an inner sect disciple, then he would not have the power to kill him. If he really killed Xu Ting at this time, he would likely be framed by someone with ulterior motives soon after.

  "Hmph!" Li Ke let out a cold laugh, his eyes shooting out a sharp, icy glare as he sternly shouted: "Scram!"

  Xu Ting took a deep breath and slowly stood up with his body shaking violently, looked at Li Ke, turned around and prepared to leave.

  "Get out of here!"

  Just as Xu Ting had just taken his first step, a sharp voice suddenly came from behind him, "Get out! Don't you know what this character means? Do I need to cripple your hands and feet before you know how to get out?"

  Li Ke's eyes turned cold and swept towards the other four named disciples.

  The four disciples were suddenly frightened and hastily kowtowed on the ground, rolling towards the gate.

  Xu Ting was furious, but looking at the other four people who came with him, they were now rolling around on the ground like meatballs, one of them even rolled into the inner room and would probably roll back out later.

  Biting his lips tightly, Xu Ting didn't dare say anything more and could only lie on the ground in humiliation. After choosing a direction, he rolled out like a meatball.

  Lingyun stood beside Li Ke, watching as Xu Ting, one of the top three outer sect disciples, rolled out on the ground like a clown. He felt a mix of emotions in his heart and at the same time was filled with admiration for Li Ke.

  It takes what kind of breadth of mind to endure for a year and a half!

  "Senior brother......" Lingyun turned around, his heart racing especially fast. Li Ke had endured for a year and a half, and his power had reached the ninth level of the Qi Condensation Realm. He was just one step away from entering the Lianbing Realm and becoming an inner sect disciple, a high-ranking martial artist. Just thinking about it made Lingyun's blood boil with excitement.

  Li Ke looked at Ling Yun and smiled, saying: "Ling Yun, for the past year and a half, you and I have been as close as brothers, why don't we formally become sworn brothers now!"

  Lingyun stared at Li Ke, suddenly stunned. From the beginning, Lingyun felt a different aura from Li Ke's body, an aura that he had never felt even from Yi Dai, the master of the Double Blade Sect. However, as time passed, Li Ke suppressed this aura very well. Nevertheless, Li Ke's words and actions all indicated that he was absolutely not just an ordinary person, which also made Lingyun curious about Li Ke's identity.

  However, as the two spent more time together, Lingyun also admired Li Ke's words and deeds, some experiences and treatment of people. Li Ke was only one year older than Lingyun, but he had experienced many more things than Lingyun.

  It was because of this that Lingyun had always been in contact with Li Ke, taking Li Ke as his goal, not in terms of strength, but in terms of character and behavior; it's just that he didn't expect that Li Ke would make a sudden move, using only two short years to cultivate his skills to the ninth level of the Qi condensation stage, and now, he actually wants to become sworn brothers with him.

  How could Lingyun not be surprised!

  "Alright! From now on, you're my big brother!" Lingyun's emotions were stirred up, he took a step back, and with great respect, he bowed deeply to Li Ke, shouting loudly: "Big Brother!"

  "Alright, Yun!" Li Ke helped Lingyun up with a laugh and said: "Yun, now we'll head to the Martial Law Pavilion together for the Soul of Arms assessment. As long as I pass, I can become an inner disciple! At that time, you and I will join forces, and in the Double Blade Sect, or even the entire Han State, no one will dare mock us!"

  "Go!"

  Lingyun also shouted loudly and followed Li Ke's back, heading towards the Double Blade Sect's Martial Law Building, his heart filled with longing for the future that Li Ke had spoken of.

  In the Double Blade Sect, all disciples, as long as they cultivate seven divine soldiers' auras within their bodies and reach the seventh level of Qi Condensation Realm, can become a registered disciple. Further on, they will be outer sect disciples; when they cultivate nine divine soldiers' auras within their bodies, they will have mastered one of the Qi Condensation Realm's techniques to its extreme, reaching the ninth level of Qi Condensation Realm's later stage, and then they will qualify to enter the Double Blade Sect's Martial Skills Pavilion for the final breakthrough. After that, they will be assessed on their martial soul level and become an inner sect disciple.

  The soul of the warrior is the main theme of this continent!

  Divine Land of Soldiers, the endless soldiers, every person has their own divine soldier soul since birth, however, the divine soldier soul needs to be cultivated constantly in order to become stronger.

  Condensing energy into nine realms is the foundation of cultivating a martial soul. Only when one reaches the ninth level of condensing energy, and their energy has taken shape as a martial aura, can they detect the grade of their martial soul.

  The soul of the soldier, due to congenital reasons, has a very obvious level distinction from its appearance. From low to high, there are red seventh-grade soldier souls, orange sixth-grade soldier souls, yellow fifth-grade soldier souls, green fourth-grade soldier souls, cyan third-grade soldier souls, blue second-grade soldier souls, purple first-grade soldier souls, and the legendary seven-colored crystal glass divine-grade soldier soul.

  The higher the level of the soldier's soul, the greater the achievement of the soldier in the future!

  The Sōkō-ji Temple's martial arts hall is a magnificent, four-bay-wide wooden structure resembling a grand temple standing on the waist of a mountain, with seven stories.

  Outside the Martial Law Pavilion, Li Ke looked up at the magnificent building with a complex expression, and couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion. "Thinking back to when I was framed and kicked out of my home, all my skills were crippled, who would have thought that this would be a great blessing in disguise for me? After two rounds of cultivating the Condensed Qi Realm, my foundation has become extremely solid, with nine strands of divine energy within my body, making mine far stronger than others. In the Refining Soldier Realm, I am absolutely unmatched; but against those above the Refining Soldier Realm, even a first-rate master of the Refining Soldier Realm, I have no confidence whatsoever!"

  The ninth layer of the Qi Refining stage. This is a height that countless people yearn for in their hearts, but even so, if one doesn't break through, they won't have any standing to speak of!

  And now, the final step is right in front of Li Ke, his mood can be imagined.

  Lingyun stepped forward, clenched his fists tightly in front of Li Ke.

  Li Ke nodded slightly, calmed his mind, took a deep breath and expelled the turbid air from his body, casting aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, and stepped into the Military Strategy Pavilion.

  Li Ke didn't know that just as he was about to enter the Military Law Building, two figures appeared outside the door. The auras of these two people were extremely sharp and menacing, and when Ling Yun saw them, he was shocked and his eyes widened in astonishment.

  "Your Lordship! Great Elder!"

  Lingyun stepped forward and called out in a respectful tone. Previously, as one of his nominal disciples, it would have been impossible for him to meet such a top-notch figure, but today he actually did.

  All of this is because he acknowledged a good elder brother, a good younger brother!

  "Uh-huh!" A middle-aged man in blue clothes nodded, he was the master of the Double Blade Sect, Yi Dai, who possessed the Five-Grade Soldier Soul Snake Scale Twin Blades. His cultivation had already reached the fifth stage of the Transformation Realm, and his life-bound soldier soul snake scale twin blades were wrapped with five strands of true energy, a characteristic of the Transformation Realm. He could refine his soldier soul to take shape, stimulate his true energy, and control his soldiers to kill enemies from ten miles away. His soldier aura was vast and powerful, capable of shattering rocks and splitting the earth, striking fear into the hearts of others.

  Another figure in black robes stood with an icy demeanor, staring at the entrance of the Military Strategy Building, with a sharp glint in his eyes.

  "Could it be Li Ke who has just entered the Military Law Building?" Yi Dai looked at Ling Yun and asked in a low voice.

  Li Ke defeated Xu Ting, the third disciple of the outer sect, with a single move. The news that his power had reached the ninth level of the Condensing Qi Realm spread throughout the Double Blade Sect in an instant, causing a huge stir. Even the Sect Master and the Great Elder came personally, which shows just how big of a sensation this was.

  "Hmm... " Lingyun's head was like a garlic, although he could easily hide his aura, but the invisible sharpness in the air made him unbearable, and cold sweat burst out all over his body.

  "This kid... is indeed not simple at all!" Yi Dai let out a long sigh, casting a glance at Ling Yun, who understood and retreated far away, stopping at a hundred paces.

  "Uh-huh!" The elderly man in black robes also nodded and said: "Two years ago, when this kid came to the Double Blade Sect, I was very surprised. The Overlord Token is not easy to get, even though there are eighteen of them in the entire continent of Ba Zhou. But at that time, this kid's cultivation was crippled, so I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking he got it by coincidence; who would have thought that within half a year, this kid suddenly rose to the third level of the Condensing Qi Realm? However, later on, news came that he mistakenly ate the Dispersing Qi Fruit, which left me stunned... Now that I think about it... Hehe! What a deeply scheming and cunning little brat, hiding in plain sight for so long! In just two short years, he's reached this height! Now, I'm starting to suspect his identity again!"

  Yi Dai also nodded and said, "This kid is really good at hiding his true nature, even I was deceived by him. His depth of character is truly rare among people of the same age. If he succeeds today, his future path will definitely be higher than ours!"

  "Not bad! This kid is boundless!"

  "Ancestors, great elders..."

  Just as Yi Dai was talking to Da Zhang Lao, two figures rushed over from a distance and soon appeared beside them.

  "Old Three, Old Five, you've also arrived!" The Grand Elder nodded towards the newcomers and then shifted his gaze back to the Military Strategy Pavilion.

  "Yes, big brother, I heard that Li Ke has actually reached the 9th layer of Qi Condensation. Is this true? It's only been two years! How is this possible?" A man wearing a purple robe asked anxiously, his surname was Xu, and he was one of the three elders of the Double Blade Sect, with a high status and cultivation that had reached the 6th layer of Refining Soldier Realm, with six segments of his soldier soul being refined.

  "Hmm!"

  "...". The three elders' faces suddenly turned cold after getting a definite answer, because Xu Ting was his own nephew, and today he suffered such a great humiliation, making him feel very uncomfortable in his heart.

  "This young man has endured for a year and a half, it's not easy! His mental strength is high, I think he can be cultivated as a core disciple!" The middle-aged man said seriously along with the three elders.
