Fantasy: I Become God by playing a game [Dungeons + LitRPG +Xinxia]

**Chapter 29: Mock Exam (14)**

Roar!

A resounding dragon's roar echoed through the air as the silver-white dragon surged forward, biting down on Bian Shouyi's weapon.

Snap!

The black iron sword shattered into countless fragments, scattering like snowflakes drifting through the air.

But the silver dragon didn't stop there. It charged forward, its path still set on Bian Shouyi.

Fortunately for him, the dragon veered at the last moment, brushing past his ear and lifting a lock of his hair.

Bang!

The dragon struck the ground behind him, sending gravel flying and leaves spiraling into the air.

When the dust settled, a narrow pit, ten meters long, stretched behind Bian Shouyi. It was a stark reminder of the devastating power of Su Chen's attack.

Had the dragon struck him directly, the outcome would have been catastrophic.

Failure. Complete and utter failure.

Bian Shouyi stood in silence, staring at the knife resting on his shoulder. Finally, he spoke in a deep voice.

"What kind of swordsmanship is this?"

"Treasure Pavilion's common swordsmanship—Water Dragon Roar," Su Chen replied casually.

He sheathed his knife, walked over to a nearby tree stump, and sat down. Pulling out a bottle of mineral water from his storage bag, he drank deeply, replenishing his energy.

Though he had made the fight look easy, it had taken considerable effort.

Bian Shouyi's Zhengyi Swordsmanship was indeed ferocious—every strike powerful and unrelenting. Without Su Chen's mastery of Water Dragon Roar, which maximized the efficiency of vibration force to minimize spiritual energy consumption, he might not have been able to withstand the initial assault, let alone win so decisively.

Bian Shouyi, having recovered from his initial shock, approached Su Chen. His tone was serious.

"I know Water Dragon Roar, but the way you used it was completely different."

Su Chen smiled faintly. "The same swordsmanship will naturally vary depending on the person using it."

For a long moment, Bian Shouyi remained silent. Then, with a determined look, he said, "Your swordsmanship is impressive, but I still firmly believe that my father's Zhengyi Swordsmanship is the strongest.

"I will keep training until the day I defeat you with it."

With that declaration, Bian Shouyi walked to a nearby Qingxuan Wood tree, drew a spare sword, and began chopping.

True to his word, Bian Shouyi accepted his defeat and honored the bet by helping Su Chen cut wood.

Su Chen watched him work, a faint smile on his lips. "Compared to someone who knows ten thousand sword techniques, someone like you, who has practiced one sword technique ten thousand times, is far more terrifying."

Shaking his head, Su Chen reached into his pocket, pulled out his phone, and opened his game interface.

With Bian Shouyi handling the grunt work, he finally had some free time.

----

[Game Interface Panel]

Name: Su Chen (Qingyun Sect's servant disciple)

Qualifications: High-grade mixed spiritual roots (gold, wood, water, fire, earth)

Cultivation: Fourth level of Qi Gathering Stage (4,700/20,000)

Cultivation Method: Five Element Qi Gathering Technique

Skills: Dragon Roar Sky-Breaking Strike (Extreme State 1/30,000), Basic Alchemy (Beginner Level 1/1,000)...

Current Experience Points: 1,635

----

Six hours had passed since Su Chen entered the core area of Wuquan Mountain.

In the game, this was equivalent to about two and a half days. At his current training speed, he earned around 50 experience points per in-game day.

In just six real hours, he had gained 120 experience points.

However, Su Chen hadn't opened the game to check his experience points. His focus was on completing the long-standing Novice Mission 2.

This mission had two requirements:

1. Reach the fourth level of the Qi Gathering Stage.

2. Become an outer disciple of the Qingyun Sect.

Both conditions were met after Su Chen successfully refined a batch of Qi Gathering Pills. Now, all that remained was the initiation ceremony.

Before today, mock exams and wood-chopping had kept him too busy to visit Danyang Peak.

But now, with Bian Shouyi taking over the manual labor, Su Chen finally had time to complete the mission.

Cultivation Realm—Qingyun Sect, Danyang Peak

"Junior Brother Su, from this day forward, you are the 65th-generation outer disciple of our Danyang Peak. Your master is Taoist Linghuo.

"This is your disciple token. Please keep it safe."

Su Chen accepted the token from an inner disciple of Danyang Peak and replied politely, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

The senior disciple smiled. "No need to thank me, Junior Brother. Although you are only Master's nominal disciple for now, I see great potential in you. I'm optimistic about your future."

With that, the senior disciple guided Su Chen to his new residence.

As an outer disciple, Su Chen had effectively transitioned from being an intern to a full-fledged employee of the Qingyun Sect.

This status came with a host of benefits, including a personal cave residence, a fixed monthly salary of spirit stones, cultivation pills, and more.

The Qingyun Sect was renowned for its disciple welfare, even addressing emotional well-being. The sect arranged blind dates for disciples, selecting mortal women with both beauty and talent to prevent loneliness or susceptibility to external influences.

This policy had been implemented after an infamous incident in the sect's early days. A disciple, isolated and inexperienced in relationships, was manipulated by a demonic sect's witch and betrayed the sect.

To prevent such tragedies, the Qingyun Sect made marital happiness part of its benefits.

It was no surprise that Su Chen admired the sect's policies.

Of course, his desire to become a formal disciple had nothing to do with the promise of a wife. He simply felt the Qingyun Sect was a great place to cultivate.

While touring his new residence, Su Chen opened the newly unlocked Novice Mission 3.

---

[Novice Mission 3]

Goal: Become an inner disciple of Qingyun Sect and reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Minimum Rewards: 10,000 experience points, random second innate magical power (1).

Note: The higher the foundation quality, the greater the rewards.

----

A guaranteed 10,000 experience points and a second innate magical power—this mission offered generous rewards.

And that was just the baseline. If Su Chen achieved the First-Grade Heavenly Dao Foundation, the rewards could be unimaginable.

Motivated by the prospect of these rewards—not to mention his commitment to cultivation—Su Chen resolved to give it his all.

For the sake of his... innate magical power, he would stop at nothing to achieve the First-Grade Heavenly Dao Foundation!

But first, he needed to claim the rewards for Novice Mission 2.

----

[Mission Complete]

Rewards:

Experience points: +2,000

Spiritual root qualification: +1

----

----

Name: Su Chen (Outer Disciple of Qingyun Sect)

Cultivation: Fourth level of Qi Gathering Stage (4,700/30,000)

Current Experience Points: 3,635

----

"An extra 10,000 spiritual power points added to my limit... definitely worth the effort I put into the Purple Cloud Divine Light Technique."

With renewed determination, Su Chen shifted his focus to the next mission.

"Now, let's see what it takes to complete Novice Mission 3."
