Chapter 289: Danhe Initiation
Quite a few disciples rushed to Danhetai after receiving the news. Some of them were indignant, some were indifferent, but more of them just wanted to watch the fun.

Everyone knows that the resources of the Desolate Palace rank last among the four palaces, so every disciple pays special attention to it. Even though the atmosphere is good and the relationship between disciples is good on weekdays, once it comes to resource issues, everyone will still show their unwillingness to give in, so...

Given Tong Chuan's character, he would definitely not sit idly by and watch the opportunity being snatched away. The only thing that made them curious was who was better between the former and Lin Changqiang.

Although Lin Changqiang won the championship of the Hundred Dynasties War and was at the Five Elements Nirvana Realm and a Five Seals Heavenly Talisman Master, he was only one level lower than Tong Chuan, who had been practicing for nearly three years. But Tong Chuan had mastered the Wild Power of the Wild Palace, so it would be hard to say whether he could win in a fight.

"A newly initiated disciple wants to snatch Danhe initiation from me?"

As soon as Tong Chuan finished speaking, the disciples around him all cheered, but he himself stared at the center of the Dan River with a cold expression.

Not long after, several sounds of breaking wind were heard one after another, from far away to near, and finally fell into Danhetai, attracting countless eyes.

It was Lin Changqiang and his group of ten people!
Seeing the figure in the lead who looked exactly like the one in the portrait, Tong Chuan finally couldn't hold back anymore and quickly flashed in front of the group of people.

"Are you Lin Changqiang?"

"It's me." Lin Changqiang nodded, but his eyes unconsciously glanced at the other person's head.

[Side Quest - I've got the Dan River Initiation: The four strongest disciples of the Desolate Palace have all enjoyed the Dan River Initiation in the past few years. Who else can compete with the fifth of the Desolate Palace this year?]

[Requirement: Help Tong Chuan obtain the opportunity to receive Danhe Initiation]

[Reward: Number of draws × 2]

【Whether to accept? 】

"What can I do for you, senior brother?" Lin Changqiang looked away without hesitation.

Compared with the enormous power of Danhe's initiation, the two draws were indeed a bit lame.

"You won the championship of the Hundred Dynasties War and thwarted the conspiracy of the Western Xuan Territory. You have indeed made great contributions to Dao Sect. It is reasonable that you should be rewarded. However, there is only one quota for Danhe Initiation in the Desolate Palace every year. If you snatched it away, it would be unfair to other fellow disciples. I hope you can ask the Palace Master for a different reward yourself."

Tong Chuan's face was serious and his tone was earnest, but he did not mention his own name at all. If Lin Changqiang had not seen the system task, he might have thought that he was speaking up for others.

"Unfair?" Lin Changqiang raised his eyebrows and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. "How is the ranking of the Danhe Initiation determined? Senior brother, I don't need to remind you, right?"

"what do you mean?"

"Only the most outstanding disciples are qualified to receive the Dan River Initiation, and whether they are outstanding or not depends on their merits and strength."

"In terms of merit, you all understand without me having to explain. In terms of strength..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Changqiang took a step forward, walked in front of Tong Chuan amid the astonished gazes of many disciples, and bowed calmly.

"Please give me some advice, senior brother!"

These words came like thunder out of the blue, instantly causing a commotion on the Danhe stage. Even though the disciples around them had expected the two to have a dispute, they never expected Lin Changqiang to be so confident and decisive.

"Good boy..."

In front of Lin Changqiang, Tong Chuan's breathing became increasingly rapid, and his face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. In the sky not far from Danhetai, two figures were standing in the air.

The one on the left is the deputy hall master Wudao, and the one on the right is the hall master Chen Zhen.

"Hey, this kid is really courageous, worthy of being my disciple!" Looking at everything that happened on Danhetai, Wudao's eyes were smiling. "You think highly of him?" Chen Zhen smiled. He had white hair and beard like Wudao, but he looked much calmer than Wudao.

"Of course, I saw it in the ancient battlefield. The talents and personalities of the four brothers are all top-notch. They are all very good seedlings. Lin Changqiang has many secrets that I cannot see through. Given time, he will definitely become the most outstanding disciple among the younger generation of my Desolate Palace!"

Wudao became more and more excited as he spoke, and in his mind he imagined himself stepping on Weisen. Chen Zhen, who was standing by, shook his head helplessly, apparently accustomed to Wudao's temper...

"You are too arrogant to challenge my senior brother directly on the second day of your initiation!"

Tong Chuan stared at the figure in front of him, his eyes filled with anger. He took a step forward, and the violent Yuan Power instantly soared into the sky.

"Since you are a beginner, I will not bully you. As long as you can remain undefeated within ten moves, I will have no complaints about Danhe!"

The low shout resounded in all directions like thunder, and the surrounding disciples quickly stepped back, leaving a large circle for Lin Changqiang and Tong Chuan.

"Within ten moves?"

Lin Changqiang wanted to laugh. He clenched his right hand in the air, and a long sword emitting great power fell into his hand. The terrifying momentum was far greater than Tong Chuan's.

"That is……"

"It's the pure Yuan treasure he used on Baichao Mountain!"

Cries of surprise rang out all around, and almost everyone was horrified. Although they had long known that Lin Changqiang possessed the treasure of pure Yuan, when they actually saw this sword, they still couldn't help but doubt their lives.

The treasure of pure essence... that was regarded as a sacred object in the Heavenly Palace, but it was actually used to compete with disciples? ? ?
"you!"

Feeling the threat from the Chun Yuan treasure, Tong Chuan widened his eyes. He didn't know whether to advance or retreat. He never expected that Lin Changqiang would be so unsportsmanlike.

"Spiritual treasures are also part of strength. Are you afraid, brother?"

Lin Changqiang made a sword flower, and then saw the wonderful expressions of Tong Chuan and other disciples as he wished, and nodded with satisfaction.

Receiving Danhe initiation right after arriving here is bound to make many people dissatisfied. Today it is Tongchuan, tomorrow it may be Laochuan, and he hates arguing over such trivial matters the most, so...

It would be better to use this opportunity to establish your authority once and for all.

"It's just a joke. We are not outsiders. How could I use the treasure of pure Yuan to deal with you senior brothers?" Lin Changqiang smiled, then put the sword back into his backpack and waved to Tong Chuan.

"Come on, Senior Brother. As long as you can hold out for ten moves without being defeated, I will give you the chance to receive the Dan River Initiation."

As soon as the words fell, the entire Danhetai fell into silence. No one expected that Lin Changqiang would suddenly put away the magic treasure and return Tong Chuan's conditions intact.

"Shameless talk!"

Tong Chuan had just breathed a sigh of relief when Lin Changqiang took away the Chun Yuan treasure, but he clenched his fists again when he heard these words.

He took a deep breath, and brilliant golden light burst out from his body, then gathered in his hand and turned into a golden sword. The huge blade was as tall as half a person.

"I'll let you see my strength!"

　Thanks to "废人成长记（llo_o）" for voting for the monthly ticket. I wish him good health and continuous happiness (ω)
