Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques

"Since there is Acquired Five Elements Essence, there might also be Innate Five Elements Essence. It's worth exploring."

Lu Changsheng's mind had already formulated a plan.

Thus, he walked straight over.

However, the person issuing the task was already surrounded by countless martial artists.

After all, Geng Metal Essence was exceedingly rare.

Moreover, many Sacred Bodies also required Geng Metal Essence.

"I'm signing up."

"I'm signing up as well! With my strength, which arena can't I dominate? Recruiting me is undoubtedly the right choice."

"Hmph, I am a Martial Saint Mansion Outer Mansion martial artist. Outer Mansion martial artists are all exceptionally gifted, and becoming a Martial Saint one day is within reach. Even in terms of strength, we are leagues ahead of other martial artists."

"Just you as an Outer Mansion martial artist? I'm one too, and even ranked in the top hundred of the Outer Mansion..."

One by one, the martial artists clamored to register.

From this, the extraordinary value of Geng Metal Essence became abundantly clear.

This kind of cultivation resource was something many would scramble for.

"Everyone, calm down and come forward one by one."

"But let me make it clear first: entering the arena for a battle means facing an opponent who is no ordinary figure. There's the risk of falling."

Upon hearing the word "fall," these martial artists dismissed the concern entirely.

In arena battles, one could encounter all kinds of opponents.

If they couldn't win, they could simply admit defeat.

As for trying to kill them?

That wouldn't be easy!

Lu Changsheng stepped forward silently, frowning slightly at the crowd.

Nevertheless, he calmly announced, "I will take on this task!"

His voice carried immense confidence.

Moreover, there was an aura about him that commanded respect and made others hesitant to underestimate him.

"And who might you be?"

The martial artist issuing the task couldn't help but ask after observing Lu Changsheng's demeanor.

"Inner Mansion martial artist, Lu Changsheng!"

Lu Changsheng replied.

"Inner Mansion martial artist?"

Those surrounding him reacted with slight surprise, showing signs of disbelief.

Inner Mansion martial artists all held significant status.

However, Lu Changsheng clearly wasn't fully informed.

In terms of pure strength, Inner Mansion martial artists weren't necessarily superior to Outer Mansion martial artists.

Nor were they necessarily better in terms of talent.

Outer Mansion martial artists climbed step by step from the grassroots level to the Divine Power Realm. Their talent had to be absolutely exceptional to be recruited into the Outer Mansion of the Martial Saint Mansion.

In terms of talent and strength, Outer Mansion martial artists actually surpassed Inner Mansion martial artists.

Of course, this wasn't universally true.

Inner Mansion martial artists still included top-tier powerhouses.

But on average, Outer Mansion martial artists were considered stronger than their Inner Mansion counterparts.

Hence, disputes between Inner Mansion and Outer Mansion martial artists in the Martial Saint Mansion were common.

That said, Inner Mansion martial artists undoubtedly had a stronger positional background compared to Outer Mansion martial artists.

They were almost always backed by Martial Saint forces.

"Hmph! What bold words you have, sir. Could it be that you've just recently joined the Martial Saint Mansion? Aren't you aware that Inner Mansion martial artists primarily rely on Recommendation Orders to enter the mansion?"

"When it comes to talent and strength, how could you compare to us Outer Mansion martial artists?"

"Sir, if your intention is merely to use your Inner Mansion identity to accept this task, I'm afraid you'll be sorely disappointed."

One of the Outer Mansion martial artists sneered at Lu Changsheng with a cold laugh.

Outer Mansion martial artists also carried another title:

Martial Saint Seeds!

As for Inner Mansion martial artists, they carried no such recognition.

Therefore, Outer Mansion martial artists were inherently proud when facing those from the Inner Mansion!

But Lu Changsheng remained unmoved and replied calmly, "If the identity of an Inner Mansion martial artist is insufficient to take on this task, then perhaps the status of the owner of Inner Mansion's Number One Cave Mansion would suffice?"

"Boom."

Though Lu Changsheng spoke calmly, his words were a thunderclap that shocked everyone present.

Even the faces of some Outer Mansion martial artists changed drastically.

"The owner of Inner Mansion's Number One Cave Mansion? Are you saying you're the Heavenly Fate Venerable?"

"No, that doesn't make sense. I've seen the Heavenly Fate Venerable before, and you're clearly not him. Even your aura is entirely different. Could someone be impersonating the Heavenly Fate Venerable?"

"Hahaha, someone posing as the Heavenly Fate Venerable? Don't they know the Heavenly Fate Venerable is widely recognized throughout the Martial Saint Mansion?"

Some even began laughing, their expressions mocking.

Heavenly Fate Venerable?

No matter how hard they looked, this person didn't resemble him in the slightest.

Yet, amidst the scornful remarks from the crowd, Lu Changsheng's face remained composed.

Suddenly, one Inner Mansion martial artist spoke hesitantly: "Wait, the Heavenly Fate Venerable is no longer the owner of the Number One Cave Mansion. Recently, a new martial artist joining the Martial Saint Mansion was directly assigned to the Number One Cave Mansion by the Artifact Spirit. I believe his name is Lu Changsheng from Heavenly Saint City. Could this person be him?"

"Lu Changsheng? Yes, such an event did happen. Since it's an internal matter of the Inner Mansion, it hasn't spread widely yet."

"The Number One Cave Mansion has indeed changed hands."

When other Inner Mansion martial artists confirmed this, the expressions of those mocking Lu Changsheng instantly froze.

None of them had anticipated that the Number One Cave Mansion had already been reassigned.

As for being immediately assigned to the Number One Cave Mansion upon joining the Martial Saint Mansion, it was unquestionably an unprecedented, almost unbelievable occurrence.

But since these Inner Mansion martial artists validated it, the more outlandish the revelation, the more likely it was true.

"Good, good, good!"

"If the honored Daoist is truly the owner of the Number One Cave Mansion, then naturally you're more than qualified to accept this task."

"May I ask for your Daoist title?"

The martial artist issuing the task couldn't hide the joy on his face.

He understood clearly that Inner Mansion martial artists included formidable talents.

Especially the owner of the Number One Cave Mansion.

This person was unanimously recognized as the first among Inner Mansion martial artists!

Such recognition carried immense weight.

For instance, the previous owner, the Heavenly Fate Venerable, was one of the most exceptional Martial Venerables.
