C303 A Small Contest First Show up

After driving for almost four hours, they finally arrived at the Merlin Mountain Village, which was located thousands of miles outside the city from the center of Beidu City.

The mountain village road was not easy to walk on, the car had just arrived at a certain location when the two tires broke down.

Ji Tianxiang was helpless. He got out of the car and asked the villagers where the Merlin Temple was. He walked towards the direction indicated by the villagers. When he arrived at the temple, it was already extremely dark.

The temple was on the mountain, and climbing from the foot of the mountain to the top would require at least two hours of rest and breathing. Adding to the dark mountain roads, it would take close to four hours.

The moment Ji Tianxiang's feet got close to the temple, he reached out his hands to knock on the door. However, he heard a deep voice from inside: "The door isn't locked, come in."

Ji Tianxiang raised his eyebrows and pushed open the door. He saw his old master already standing in the courtyard, sitting on the round stone meditating with his eyes closed, waiting for him.

He estimated that the distance from where he was to the door, to where his old master was meditating, was at least 500 meters. He could hear his footsteps and knew that he was truly an expert.

Ji Tianxiang quickened his steps and walked in front of his old master. With a bang, he kneeled on the ground and said in a clear voice, "Master, disciple Ji Tianxiang will be studying martial arts ever since."

He kowtowed three times.

"Good, then I will give you the title: The Peak Dao. I hope that your future path will be fulfilled and you will walk on the road to the peak." Void opened his eyes and said happily.

"Shundao?!" "To live up to everyone's expectations and walk on the road to the peak?" Ji Tianxiang muttered to himself. He suddenly raised his head and said with surprise in his eyes, "Master, a good name. I like it very much. Thank you for your gift."

"Yes." Xu Que nodded with satisfaction. His mouth curved into a profound smile, "Peak Dao, don't be too happy too early. You're not allowed to sleep tonight. Go down the mountain to the spring and get a hundred buckets of water."

"…" Ji Tianxiang's happy face instantly froze.

"Don't be too discouraged. After mixing the hundred buckets of water, you still have to chop down a hundred catties of wood."

"…" Ji Tianxiang's face was no longer stiff, and his whole body was stiff.

After a long while, he finally responded, "Master, you aren't joking with me, right? This is my first time here, please show mercy."

"What do you think? Why aren't you working?" With a smile on his face, his expression changed as he roared.

"Alright, alright, I'll go to work now." Ji Tianxiang hurriedly stood up and said worriedly.

Although he had picked up a hundred buckets of water and cut down a hundred catties of firewood, he knew from the bottom of his heart that there were no complaints nor was he unwilling, because he knew his master's intentions.

Void pointed to a water pole, a wooden bucket, and an axe that was used to chop firewood. He waved his hand and turned around to walk back into the house.

Ji Tianxiang also took the water pole and the bucket and walked out of the temple solemnly.

Wasn't it just a hundred buckets of water?

Wasn't it just a hundred catties of firewood?

Who is afraid of Who!

If you insist on it, you'll definitely be able to do it.

He was very confident in his perseverance. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been kicked out of the family for the past four years, relying on his own ability to survive. During this period of time, he had suffered a lot.

Gritting her teeth, she persevered.

Compared to four years of suffering, doing physical work was nothing.

However, when Ji Tianxiang carried his stuff down the mountain, his serious attitude almost exploded.

I'll go!

They had to underestimate the ability to carry water!0

How could he forget about it? Heading up the mountain at night was already quite strenuous, and it took him nearly four hours to do so. Heading down the mountain at night was even more strenuous than going up the mountain.

When Ji Tianxiang was halfway there, he speechlessly asked the heavens. He sighed heavily, gritted his teeth and insisted on going down the mountain. Then, he picked up the water and went up the mountain again.

The first time he picked up two buckets of water, it took him more than four hours. It was almost dawn, and the second time, it took more than three hours. The old rooster crowed, and Elder Sun woke up early.

Until the fifteenth bucket of water, Ji Tianxiang was already exhausted and was still carrying the water up the mountain.

It was already evening.

It was unknown when the void appeared beside Ji Tianxiang. With a calm voice, he evaluated, "Your steps are slow and unstable, and your arms are weak and weak. It's easy for you to break your breath if you breathe heavily."

"Master, I haven't eaten for a day and a night. I haven't rested or had any water to drink. As you said, how could I not be like this?" Ji Tianxiang rolled his eyes and said weakly.

"Alright, then go and eat after you've picked up this bucket of water." After thinking for a moment, Xu Tingsheng said, "After eating, go to the back of the temple and find me."

"Alright, Master." Ji Tianxiang said happily.

After dinner, Ji Tianxiang went to the temple's backyard and looked for the void.

Ji Tianxiang noticed that the void was no longer filled with wooden stakes. He frowned and thought to himself, "Could it be that I want him to take the wooden stakes?"

"That's right." A voice resounded in the air.

"Who is it?" Ji Tianxiang asked in shock.

"However, before you walk on the wooden pillar, you have to learn the horse stance first." The sound seemed to be coming from behind him.

Ji Tianxiang turned around in surprise and shouted, "Master!"

Xiao Chen nodded with a smile. He stretched out both of his feet and spread Ji Tianxiang's legs. Then he stretched out both of his arms and pulled Ji Tianxiang's arms in a horse stance.

"Yep, according to this posture, persevere for two hours." Void said seriously.

Ji Tianxiang nodded, "Yes."

Two hours passed and the void allowed Ji Tianxiang to rest for five minutes before he started to walk on the wooden stakes. Another two hours passed and Ji Tianxiang was instructed to chop firewood.

Ji Tianxiang's speed of carrying water increased after one week. The speed at which he moved the horse was steady enough. Although he didn't walk fast enough, he could guarantee that he would be able to walk well at every step and not fall down. The strength and speed of cutting wood also improved.

Soon, Ji Tianxiang finished picking up a hundred buckets of water and chopping down a hundred catties of firewood in one day.

Xu Kong looked at Ji Tianxiang and nodded in satisfaction, then said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to improve so quickly. I didn't expect you to improve so quickly.

Ji Tianxiang, who was originally happy, immediately changed his expression after hearing the restriction, "Master, why are you only allowed to rest in Merlin Mountain Village?"

"Because of your current cultivation, the Plum Woods Village is a place to cultivate. Once you leave the village, the complicated society here will affect your mind." The void explained.

"Oh, so it's like that. Alright, I'll just play around in the village. I haven't seen him in all these days." Ji Tianxiang nodded in understanding.

"Go." Kong Kong waved his hand and said.

Ji Tianxiang happily walked out of the temple and down the mountain as if he was playing. He arrived at Merlin Mountain Village after half an hour of walking.

However, just as he got off the car, he heard a hubbub not too far away.
