Seeing the shocked expressions of the warriors in the martial arts arena, Shao Yan in the audience laughed. He liked to see others showing such expressions.
"Brother Xiao, beat this girl to death!" Shao Yan shouted toward the ring.
"not good!"
Zhao Zilong on the ring came to his senses and quickly retreated.
"The reaction speed is not slow." Xiao Ye sneered, punched with great force, directly dispelling the wind from Zhao Zilong's palm, and then stamped the ground with the sole of his foot.
Whoosh!
The moment Zhao Zilong retreated, Xiao Ye followed him like a shadow and rushed in front of him.
"Give me, get down!"
Xiao Ye shouted coldly, and the zhenqi in the twelve meridians surged like a stormy wave crashing on the shore. A powerful force emerged from the fist and blasted towards Zhao Zilong.
This simple punch was as unstoppable as a flash flood or tsunami.
"Hmph, so what if your cultivation level is better than mine? I, Zhao Zilong, will defeat you today by leaping up the ranks!" Zhao Zilong calmed down, stretched out both palms, unleashed all his strength, and pushed towards Xiao Ye.
As the number one genius in Yancheng, Zhao Zilong is invincible among his peers in Yancheng and can fight across levels, so he is full of confidence in himself.
Bang!
The fists and palms of the two intersected, and terrible fluctuations erupted. The rock arena shook, and cracks spread like spider webs.
ah!
A figure on the ring suddenly retreated to the edge of the ring, and then fell down, making everyone's eyes widen.
Because they could clearly see that the one who fell into the ring was Zhao Zilong.
"That young man must have used secret techniques to hide his cultivation. He is a genius even more powerful than Zhao Zilong. He is definitely among the top ten geniuses in the county and city." The referee looked at Xiao Ye.
, has changed.
With his knowledge, he can naturally guess this.
Wow!
After a moment of silence in the martial arts arena, a roar of cheers erupted, almost tearing down the roof.
It is an honor to witness the rise of a genius with your own eyes. Even privately, many people are already inquiring about Xiao Ye's origins.
I believe that it won’t be long before Xiao Ye’s name will spread throughout the county.
"Impossible!" The defeated Zhao Zilong climbed up with a ferocious look on his face.
He, Zhao Zilong, was defeated with just one move. How could he dare to believe this? And if he lost, it would mean he would lose the century-old chalcedony.
"You're really weak." Xiao Ye shook his head and walked off the stage.
Although Zhao Zilong's cultivation has reached the ninth level of the acquired realm, the acquired skills he cultivates are around the eight meridians, and even Wu Frank's Gu Chen can't compare.
The acquired skills of the eight meridians may be good for other people, but in front of Xiao Ye, who has practiced the acquired skills of the twelve meridians, it is a bit unsatisfactory.
In fact, Xiao Ye wrongly blamed Zhao Zilong.
The acquired skills of the Twelve Meridians are very rare to begin with, otherwise they would not have been carried by the fallen innate warrior.
And even if there are, few people are willing to practice. After all, not everyone is like him, possessing the Tower of Time and can waste time unscrupulously.
You must know that with every additional line of acquired skills, the difficulty of improving one's realm increases exponentially.
"Hey, Great Genius Zhao, thank you for the century-old chalcedony." Shao Yan jumped out and quickly took the century-old chalcedony and the banknote from the referee's hand.
"You dare to trick me!" Zhao Zilong's eyes were spitting fire and his heart was bleeding.
No matter how idiotic he is at this time, he can still see that Shao Yan's previous verbal provocation was just waiting for him to take the bait, and he was ready to give him a hard blow.
"Give me back the century-old chalcedony!" Zhao Zilong roared and rushed towards Shao Yan.
"Mr. Zhao, the person standing behind our martial arts arena is the princess. Do you want to provoke the princess?" the referee said.
As soon as he said this, Zhao Zilong stopped abruptly, his expression uncertain.
The martial arts arena in the county city was created by the princess of Dahong County. This is not a secret in the county city. Zhao Zilong certainly knows it. Moreover, the princess of Dahong County is an innate strong man who has been famous for a long time and has a reputation far and wide.
.
"Don't worry, let's wait and see!" Zhao Zilong struggled internally for a moment, glared at Shao Yan and Xiao Ye fiercely, then turned and left.
"It's so cool." Shao Yan grinned. He couldn't stand Zhao Zilong very much. Now that he had succeeded in tricking him, he was very happy.
"Brother Xiao, go on." Shao Yan threw the century-old chalcedony to Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye received the century-old chalcedony and felt excited in his heart. With this item, he would be able to break through to the late ninth level of the Houtian Realm.
"It's better to leave quickly." Shao Yan originally wanted to participate in the gambling fight, but thinking of the preciousness of the centuries-old chalcedony, he left with Xiao Ye.
"Another genius has appeared. It seems that the Chongyang Sect examination in half a month will be very exciting. I wonder if 'that person' can get the position of county prince as he wishes?" the referee murmured.
"No, I have to find out the origin of this young man as soon as possible." Thinking of this, the referee quietly left the fighting arena.
Xiao Ye didn't know about all this.
After he and Shao Yan returned to the inn, they closed the doors and windows and sat cross-legged on the bed.
"After taking the century-old chalcedony, if it cannot be tempered by the power of extreme cold within a month, it will only be half effective..." Xiao Ye hesitated in his heart.
When he thought about the obscure and vast aura he felt from Junjie Inn, a firm light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
If he wants to enter the Chongyang Sect and defeat Zhao Qian, he must gain the attention of the Chongyang Sect, but now the top ten in the assessment is no longer his goal.
If you want to compete, then compete for first place!
"My goal is to be called a county prince!" Xiao Ye's eyes were piercing, and he swallowed the century-old chalcedony without hesitation.
After entering the entrance, the century-old chalcedony is like a hot spring rolling down the throat.
"Hurry up and practice!" Feeling the energy of the century-old chalcedony flowing through his body, Xiao Ye quickly ran the Tianluo Gong, mobilized the true energy in the twelve meridians, and charged towards the realm barrier.
As if seeing an enemy, half of the century-old chalcedony's ability, which was originally gentle, became manic, turning into countless energy needles and shooting towards the realm barrier.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Under the double impact, the realm barrier was no longer as unbreakable as before and became crumbling.
"Come on!" Xiao Ye shouted, his true energy was like a huge wave, hitting the energy barrier.
As time went by, the energy barrier became weaker and weaker, and finally half an hour later——
boom!
A soft sound came out, and the energy barrier was completely shattered. The aura on Xiao Ye's body then rose to a higher level. The true energy in the twelve meridians seemed to be injected with infinite vitality, roaring and roaring in the meridians.
"Finally the late stage of the ninth level of Houtian Realm!" Xiao Ye's face was full of excitement as he felt the power increased several times.
With his current strength, he has no fear of anyone except the genius who is infinitely close to the innate realm.
"The hundred-year-old chalcedony still has half of its power lurking in the body." Xiao Ye suddenly frowned.
If he cannot find the power of extreme cold to temper within a month, half of the power will disappear.
"No matter what, cultivation is important." Xiao Ye shook his head, his consciousness sank into the Tower of Time, and he began to practice hard.
Half a month on the first floor of the Tower of Time, that is, five months.
As he performed Tianluo Gong, the true energy in his body continued to grow. Without the obstruction of realm barriers, his cultivation level increased by leaps and bounds.
Of course, before his true energy becomes saturated again and undergoes the ninth mutation, he will once again encounter the barrier of the realm.
Once you break through the barrier and let the true energy undergo the ninth mutation, you can reach the half-step innate state, and you are only one step away from the true innate state.
Xiao Ye was practicing hard in the Tower of Time, but the atmosphere in the county was getting more and more heated.
Every day, almost tens of thousands of warriors rush to the county town to prepare for the upcoming Chongyang Gate assessment and to admire the heroic appearance of the genius.
Today, the princess of Dahong County welcomed two distinguished guests to her residence.
"You two have worked hard all the way. My princess has prepared a sumptuous banquet to entertain you two." Mu Tao, the princess of Dahong County, is over forty years old, but looks very young, like a young man with a certain kind of talent.
Formidable majesty.
Although he is the head of a county, he does not dare to maintain his identity when facing a powerful sect like Chongyang Sect.
"Princess Mu, you're welcome. We senior brothers were entrusted by the sect to preside over Dahong County's assessment. We disturbed you." Gu Chudong, who was wearing a silver robe, said with a smile and cupped his hands, followed by Gu Chen.
, then stand behind him.
"That's right, Princess Mu. I haven't seen you for many years, but you still have the same style. You must not be too far from the realm of Xuanwu." Next to Chu Qiudong, there was an elegant middle-aged man sitting, who was also wearing the same clothes.
The silver robe looks like he has the same status as Gu Chudong.
"You two, please don't laugh at me. To enter the Xuanwu Realm, you must fully comprehend the true meaning of a martial art. How many people are stuck at this step and cannot break through?" Mu Tao shook his head and smiled bitterly.
The elegant middle-aged man and Gu Chudong looked at each other, and then changed the topic without leaving a trace.
After the banquet, Gu Chudong and the elegant middle-aged man were treated as distinguished guests and arranged in the guest room.
Late at night, the bright moonlight shines all over the earth.
"When I first came to the county, I heard the news about Xiao Ye. He has reached the ninth level of the Houtian Realm. This qualification is not simple." Gu Chudong didn't feel sleepy at all. He opened the window and looked at the bright moon.
After Xiao Ye defeated Zhao Zilong in the martial arts arena, his name was found out and spread throughout the county. He was known as a genius who was expected to be among the top ten.
"So what if you are a genius? If you offend the Gu family, I will make you fail even the first test!" A cold light flashed in Gu Chudong's eyes, and then he sneered.
After learning the news about Xiao Ye, he changed his mind.
Killing Xiao Ye directly is far less satisfying than letting him fall into despair.
…
Half a month passed quickly, and as soon as a glimmer of light appeared in the sky, the entire county was boiling. Tens of thousands of warriors gathered together, like a torrent, rushing toward the central square of the county.
"Today I, Zhang Tian, will become famous in Dahong County!"
"I have been practicing hard for so many years, and I have been waiting for today!"
…
One after another majestic figures walked out of the inn.
boom!
At this time, the door of Junjie Inn burst open, and twenty figures stepped out, each of them beginning to show their majesty as a strong man.
"It's them." Seeing those twenty figures, the whole street fell into deathly silence, and everyone's heart beat wildly, because the name of Dahong County Prince was very likely to be born among them.
"I, Chen Huan, take action, who can compete!" Among the twenty figures, there was a heroic young man with his head held high and an invincible aura about him.
This young man was like a blazing sun, while the other nineteen geniuses were reduced to foils.
"It's Chen Huan. It is said that he has half a step of innate cultivation and is the most likely candidate to become a county prince." There was discussion among the crowd. (To be continued)
