I'm back for the second update

  "Young man, you're too impulsive! How can you be his opponent?"

  As Zhang Hao left, the old man who had brought him in shook his head gently towards Li Ke, his eyes filled with regret.

  "Haha! Senior, don't worry, I dare to challenge him and I'm sure I can win!"

  "Alas!" The old man let out a long sigh and shook his head gently, clearly disapproving of what Li Ke had said.

  "It's good for young people to have a hot temper, but don't be blind!"

  He said to Li Ke, then turned his gaze to Lingyun and said seriously: "For the next few days, it's best for you not to leave the Double Blade Sect. We'll go find the sect master and the elder, we need to discuss finding two suitable martial arts and inner energy cultivation methods for you!"

  "Alright!"

  Lingyun nodded slightly, the old man's words to Li Ke just now made him feel very uncomfortable in his heart. If it wasn't for the old man's kind reminder, he was afraid he would have turned around and left already.

  "Alright! I'll go first then!"

  Lingyun met the old man and responded, although his tone wasn't very good, but he didn't pay much attention to it either. He turned around and quickly walked towards the Golden Blade Great Hall of the Double Blade Sect.

  "Then let's go too!"

  Seeing more and more sect disciples around him, Li Ke said to Vegetable Knife and Lingyun.

  "Good!"

  Caidao and Lingyun nodded at the same time and followed Li Ke out of the military strategy building.

  Li Ke came quickly and left quickly, in the blink of an eye he took the kitchen knife and Lingyun away from the Bingfa Building.

  "Isn't this Li being too arrogant? As an inner sect disciple, he actually dares to challenge a core-ranking disciple first, isn't that just a bit too arrogant?"

  "Seven days' time! What can he do in seven days? If I remember correctly, Li Ke should have become an inner disciple two and a half months ago. Three months haven't passed yet, even if he is a yellow fifth-grade soldier soul, it's impossible to raise his cultivation to the eighth level of Refining Soldier Realm!"

  "That's right! Zhang Hao is indeed a genuine eight-stage martial artist of the Refining Soldier Realm! He's only one step away from reaching the ninth stage, and he has also cultivated the Xuan-level lower-grade martial art 'Accompanying Moon Knife Technique'. Even among core disciples, there are hardly any who can easily defeat Zhang Hao!"

  "This is terrible for Li Ke!"

  "Haha! He actually dares to challenge Zhang Hao, even if he manages to become an inner door ranked disciple in the future, Zhang Hao will definitely not let him off, and when the time comes, he'll thoroughly deal with him on the Divine Martial Stage!"

  "It's just a mere collection? I think Zhang Hao will likely kill Li Ke on the Divine Martial Stage!"

  "This is the end of arrogance!"

  ……

  As soon as Li Ke left, the many sect disciples outside the Military Law Building began to discuss heatedly, even more so than before, their voices louder, and from time to time they would glance in the direction of the road that Li Ke and his two companions had taken.

  As he walked towards Tie Ma House, Li Ke's eyes grew increasingly cold.

  "Xu Ting, Zhang Hao are already dead, and there's also Murong Ju, Lin Biao, Dongfang Bai Nan, Li Kuang, four people. During the sect's grand comparison, it will be your turn to pay the price!" Li Ke's heart turned ruthless, he must kill these few people without a doubt, just like the words he spoke out loud, this knot, no matter what, cannot be untied!

  Today, he dared to kill his cousin Zhang Hao in front of the core disciple Zhang Hao, and next time, he would dare to kill others on the Divine Martial Stage at the Sect's Grand Competition, as long as they still dared to stay in the Double Blade Sect for one more day, Li Ke would not let any of them go.

  Lingyun followed behind Li Ke and saw the cold light in his eyes, asking softly: "Big brother, I'm very confident in dealing with Lingfeng now, but are you challenging Zhang Hao?"

  "Don't worry, I dare to challenge him, and I'm confident!"

  Li Ke smiled lightly, and for Zhang Hao who was only at the eighth level of Refining Soldiers Realm, he didn't feel too much pressure.

  "Hmm! I knew it, big brother is the most powerful!"

  Lingyun burst out laughing, and today's events filled his heart with determination. First, he encountered Lingfeng's ridicule, then Li Ke stepped in to settle the score for him, followed by his own soldier soul, which was so terrifying that even if he were beaten to death, he wouldn't dare believe it - almost the first in the Double Blade Sect's hundreds of years!

  He thought that after obtaining such a high-level Bingyuan, his path would be very different, but he didn't think that his older brother, Li Ke, was even more formidable than him.

  How dare you challenge a core disciple of higher ranking!

  Such an action, even if he had reached the fifth level of Lianbing Realm now, he wouldn't dare to do it, but Li Ke did!

  "Li Ke, younger brother, you take this silver instead!" Behind Li Ke, Cai Dao had a large pile of silver and silver notes in his arms, which was the 100,000 silver that Li Ke had bet on the outer circle for Cai Dao and Lin Zhou's high-grade metal beast Hei Sha Iron Horse.

  As he spoke, the vegetable knife took out the 100,000 silver coins.

  Li Ke's favor to him can be said to be as heavy as a mountain, not only giving him a menu knife method that even Liang Shuangdao couldn't find, but also making him understand the power of this method by fighting Zhang Hao with one knife. Now he is full of confidence in his battle with Lin Zhou, an inner door ranking disciple.

  The silver in his pocket no longer held much significance for him, now all he could think of was to diligently practice the Frenzied Blade Technique and defeat Lin Zhou fair and square at the Sect's Grand Competition!

  "Don't have to!"

  Li Ke waved his hand and said: "This 100,000 taels of silver ticket doesn't mean much to me, you can keep it! When you have time, go to the Dan medicine shop to exchange some Dan medicine!"

  One hundred thousand taels are nothing to Li Ke, and this bet is his own gamble.

  "The benefits of the Sect's Grand Competition are great, so we three must work hard and exchange for elixirs to enhance our strength, this point is very important!"

  Li Ke said seriously.

  "Alright! I'll exchange all 100,000 taels for elixirs to help me and Brother Lingyun quickly improve our cultivation! Hmm, by the way! Brother Lingyun, what's your Soul Soldier? What level is it?"

  Upon hearing the kitchen knife's question, Lingyun burst out laughing and looked at Li Ke with eyes full of hope.

  Li Ke smiled lightly, and in the Hanshou region, Lingyun's soldier soul was enough to be proud of.

  "Let's not talk about it now, wait until we get back to Iron Horse House and then show us!"

  Li could see that there were other sect disciples around, so he quietly reminded Lingyun, "Lingyun and Lingfeng still have a bloody battle ahead of them. Lingyun's military soul will be the greatest advantage, but exposing it now won't bring much benefit."

  "Ah, good!" Lingyun nodded repeatedly, his mood extremely excited, eager to tell Li Ke about his own soldier's soul level.

  With an extremely excited and nervous heart, Lingyun followed Li Ke to the Iron Horse House.

  They soon parted ways at Iron Horse Inn.

  Although it has been more than two months since they last met, Tie Ma's house still looks exactly as it did when he left.

  Emerald green grass, blue light misty lake, galloping iron horses competing to run, iron horse house like a giant beast, lying at the foot of the mountain group, majestic momentum.

  "I'm back!"

  Li Ke let out a soft sigh in his heart, after more than 80 days, he returned to this place once again.

  And this place will also be where he rises!
