Seizing Destiny From Heavens Hands

When Shen Mo finished speaking, not only Lei Xiaojun but also the disciples watching couldn't help but almost burst into laughter.

Good grief, treating a mere low-grade yellow martial skill, the Tiger Roar Fist, as a trump card?

And saying that using it to its full extent even frightened himself.

Who would believe that?

Lei Xiaojun sneered but maintained a facade of false warmth and kindness, "Don't worry, Junior Brother Shen, no matter what injuries occur, it's not your fault. I, Lei Xiaojun, am not a petty person."

"Good! I admire Senior Brother Lei's magnanimous nature!" Shen Mo praised.

With that, he suddenly threw a punch.

It seemed ordinary but was faster than the eye could see!

There was a faint sound of a tiger's roar in the air!

Lei Xiaojun's fist also shot out, accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder!

Bang!

Their fists collided in midair.

A cloud of fine dust exploded from where their fists met!

Crack!

The sound of bones breaking suddenly echoed!

Lei Xiaojun's right arm cracked inch by inch, blood and flesh splattering.

Before Lei Xiaojun could scream in pain, Shen Mo's left fist shot out, striking straight at his dantian!

Crack!

With a burst of immense force, it shattered his dantian directly!

The spiritual energy cyclone was completely destroyed.

Lei Xiaojun's cultivation level plummeted back to the Body Tempering Stage!

His body was sent flying, like a kite with a broken string!

Shen Mo cried out in surprise and quickly helped Lei Xiaojun up, "Oh no, oh no, Senior Brother Lei, I used too much force. Are you alright?"

"Ah, I told you, my Tiger Roar Fist is terribly powerful, but you wouldn't listen. Look at you, so badly injured now, what should we do?"

"Senior Brother Lei, I feel so guilty!" Shen Mo's voice trembled as if he was about to cry.

Lei Xiaojun opened his eyes to see Shen Mo's face filled with exaggerated emotions.

Pain, shock, anger, and humiliation surged through him all at once.

Lei Xiaojun was so enraged that he spat out blood and fainted on the spot.

The entire venue was silent.

The outer sect disciples below the platform, as well as Liu Yuefeng and Gao Peng watching from the pavilion, were all in the same state.

Shen Mo looked up and sighed, "Senior Brother Lei, how did your strength decline to this extent? I… I really didn't hold back enough!"

He shouted, "Someone come quickly and help Senior Brother Lei to the infirmary. Senior Brother Lei has been so kind to me, giving me Body Tempering Pills and spirit stones, I cannot let him down!"

Several outer sect disciples hurriedly helped Lei Xiaojun up and quickly left the martial arts field.

Shen Mo anxiously called out again, "When Senior Brother Lei wakes up, please tell him I will apologize to him in person! I feel so bad!"

After speaking, he wiped away non-existent tears and turned to the stunned deacon, "Senior Brother Deacon, this should count as a successful challenge, and I should become an inner sect disciple, right?"

The deacon, still in shock, snapped back to reality at Shen Mo's voice.

He gave Shen Mo a deep look and nodded heavily, "Congratulations, Junior Brother Shen, you are now an inner sect disciple."

"If Junior Brother Shen is free, please come with me to receive the rewards for becoming an inner sect disciple."

Shen Mo eagerly said, "Right now, I'm also in a hurry to apologize to Senior Brother Lei."

The deacon nodded, "Alright."

He called up to the pavilion, "You two, come help oversee the outer sect disciples' assessments. I need to register Junior Brother Shen as an inner sect disciple."

"Yes…" Liu Yuefeng and Gao Peng, still in shock, nodded blankly.

Shen Mo walked ahead, the deacon following beside him.

The two of them slowly left under the reverent gazes of the disciples.

Once their figures disappeared, the disciples erupted into a frenzy.

"I feel like I'm dreaming. Shen Mo actually defeated Lei Xiaojun so easily. Pinch me… ow, ow, ow!"

"So inspiring! If Shen Mo can do it, so can I! From today, I'll train twelve hours a day!"

"Can you find a Marrow Cleansing Pill on the road?"

"…Don't bring that up, or I'll hit you!"

On the other side, Shen Mo and the deacon were heading towards a pavilion.

Shen Mo's expression had long lost any trace of urgency, replaced by calmness.

The deacon stole a few glances at Shen Mo, seeing his unwavering demeanor, and felt a surge of admiration.

An outer sect disciple becoming an inner sect disciple was a huge leap.

Yet, Shen Mo's expression remained calm, as if he had merely accomplished a trivial task.

Shen Mo, meanwhile, was deep in thought.

He was considering how to finish off Lei Xiaojun.

Just as he had anticipated, after Lei Xiaojun fell unconscious, he noticed that the life panel had changed again.

[Name: Lei Xiaojun.]

[Realm: Peak of the Body Tempering Stage.]

[Fate: Family Scion, Thunder Spirit Body, Remarkable Luck.]

[Destiny: Dantian destroyed, unable to continue cultivating, becomes a marginalized figure in his family, eventually growing bitter and dying in three years.]

[Recent Turn 1: (Occurred) Challenged by Shen Mo, defeated, dantian destroyed, stripped of inner sect disciple status, demoted to outer sect disciple.]

[Recent Turn 2: Upon waking, realizes he is no match for Shen Mo, and hurriedly leaves for the Lei family in Qingshan City that night to report this to his family, but is ambushed by a first-level demonic beast on the way. Although he kills the beast, he is left moderately injured.]

"Lei Xiaojun is indeed sharp. Realizing his demotion, he didn't linger at Qingxuan Sect and planned to flee that night," Shen Mo thought to himself.

This person was different from those simple-minded villains.

Therefore, tonight, Shen Mo needed to kill Lei Xiaojun and eliminate any future threats.

Lei Xiaojun's hurried escape provided a perfect opportunity to kill him silently.

As Shen Mo and the deacon walked further, Shen Mo casually asked, "Senior Brother, what rewards does an inner sect disciple receive?"

The deacon quickly replied, "There are quite a few. First is the inner sect disciple robe. Unlike the outer sect robe, it's not just clothing. It's warm in winter and cool in summer and can resist ordinary weapons, being a top-tier yellow-grade item."

"Additionally, the sect directly grants one hundred low-grade spirit stones."

"Lastly, there's the inner sect disciple token. With the token, you can select a weapon and two bottles of Qi Condensation Pills from the Treasure Pavilion for free, and you can soak in the medicinal pool once, which might awaken a powerful constitution."

Shen Mo nodded slightly.

Indeed, these rewards were quite good.

Soon, they arrived at a tall pavilion.

The deacon whispered, "This is where Elder Wu Huairen resides. He is responsible for various logistical matters for the inner sect disciples."

The deacon's eyes carried a hint of warning, "No matter what Elder Wu says or does, Junior Brother Shen, do not provoke him."

"Elder Wu oversees logistics. With a flick of his finger, he could cause you endless trouble."

Shen Mo frowned but still nodded.

They crossed the gate and soon saw a thin middle-aged man lying on a bamboo chair.

Beside him were two young and beautiful female disciples, each holding a large palm fan, fanning him diligently.

The two female disciples were sweating profusely from their efforts.

Wu Huairen's hand was rubbing the thigh of one of the female disciples.

The female disciple endured the discomfort, not daring to move away, allowing Wu Huairen to take liberties with her.
