Zhao Hai finally came out of the Space. Although Margaret liked to stay inside the Space, she had no choice but to come out with Zhao Hai. This was because the qualifiers were about to begin.
However, because Zhao Hai was a seeded contestant, he didn't need to participate in the first round. At this time, there were more than 20 thousand people in the Machine Field participating in the qualifiers. Although some people withdrew from the competition, there were still more than 10 thousand people participating.
There were more than ten thousand people competing for the one hundred spots. One could imagine how fierce the competition was. Zhao and the other seeded contestants had a big advantage. They didn't need to participate in the first few rounds of the competition. Only when there was only one person left would Zhao and the others start the first round of the competition.
Nobody in the Machine Field objected to this method of selecting seeded contestants. This was because the seeded contestants were all formidable experts. They were famous in the Machine Field. Moreover, there was no cheating. Even if you're a seeded contestant, you would still have to compete in the end. Moreover, the opponents you encounter would often be more difficult to deal with.
The reason why there were seeded contestants was because they were afraid that experts would meet too early. If there were no seeded contestants, then Xiong Li and Streep might meet in the first round. At that time, one of them would be eliminated. Some lucky 3rd rank experts might be able to defeat their opponents and enter the second round. Naturally, those who weren't strong wouldn't be able to enter the top 100. But for experts like Xiong Li and Streep, if they were eliminated early, then it would be a great loss to the Machine Field.
Because of this consideration, the Machine Field selected 20 seeded contestants today. They wanted to see the results. If the results were good, then they would select seeded contestants for the Newcomer Competition in the future.
After hearing that Zhao Hai came out of seclusion, Cadjo, Desbarres, and Luke immediately went to Zhao Hai's room. While Zhao Hai was in seclusion, only Luke was here. Cadjo and Desbarres had returned to the family. The two of them were old members of the family. Moreover, the Machine Field was in a state of turmoil. They were needed at this time.
The Ashley Family wasn't implicated in the turmoil of the Machine Field. On the contrary, they obtained a lot of benefits. This was because they participated in the investigation of the small and medium-sized families. They forced the large forces to bow their heads to them. The Ashley Family also obtained some benefits.
For the Ashley Family, this turmoil came at the right time. They didn't get along with the Zhang Family, and the Zhang Family had been plotting against them. Now that the Zhang Family was exterminated, not only did the Ashley Family obtain some of the Zhang Family's people, they also obtained some of the Zhang Family's factories. For the Ashley Family, this was a good thing.
Then Zhao Hai was selected as a seeded contestant. This was another happy event for the Ashley Family. Now that they heard that Zhao Hai came out of seclusion, Cadjo, Desbarres, and Luke immediately went to Zhao Hai's room.
Seeing the three arrive, Zhao Hai quickly invited them to sit down. Margaret personally served tea to the three before sitting beside Zhao Hai.
When Cadjo and the others saw the intimacy between Margaret and Zhao Hai, they didn't think too much about it. In the past few months, Margaret and Zhao Hai had been staying in this room. The relationship between the two had already been made public. Moreover, Patriarch Thunder didn't oppose the relationship between the two, so naturally, they wouldn't oppose it.
Cadjo looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Zhao Hai, what did you gain from your seclusion?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "My harvest wasn't small. The reason why I went into seclusion this time was because when I was in Yellowsand Planet, I accidentally came into contact with a trace of astral qi. I didn't feel anything at the time and only discovered it after I came back. Therefore, I went into seclusion to refine that trace of astral qi. Fortunately, I succeeded."
Upon hearing this, Cadjo couldn't help but stare. Then the expressions of the three changed. Cadjo immediately said, "Zhao Hai, did you really refine that trace of astral qi? You're not joking, right? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I'm not joking about this kind of thing. Don't forget, I'm a Dual Cultivator. If I wasn't a Dual Cultivator, then I wouldn't have been able to refine that trace of astral qi. It's precisely because I'm a Dual Cultivator that I was able to refine that trace of astral qi."
Cadjo suddenly laughed and said, "Good, very good. The Heavens are really blessing our Ashley Family. Zhao Hai, how is your attack power now? I heard that as long as you condense astral qi into your body, your attack power would increase. "
Zhao smiled faintly and said, "Yes, as long as you condense astral qi into your body, your attack power will increase. My attack power has also increased. Now, the power of my magic formation is a lot stronger than before. Compared to other magic formations of the same level, my magic formation will definitely be stronger." Zhao smiled faintly.
Cadjo happily said, "That's great! It seems like we won't be able to run away from the first place. Maybe we'll be able to get a good ranking in the Six Realms Hegemony Competition. Then our Ashley Family will become famous."
Desbarres nodded, then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Right, Little Hai. You have to work hard this time. Let the Cultivators know that the Machine Field isn't a place that they can mess with." Zhao Hai nodded, then he looked at Desbarres with an excited expression and said, "Right, Little Hai.
Recently, a lot of things happened in the Machine Field. But in the end, it was all because of the Yin Yang Sect. The Machine Field and the Cultivation Realm had always minded their own business. Although there were some conflicts between the two sides, the scale of these conflicts wasn't big. Moreover, the two sides also cooperated from time to time. But this time, the Yin Yang Sect's actions were too excessive. The Yin Yang Sect clearly wanted to cause chaos in the Machine Field. Although it wasn't known if this was the intention of all the sects in the Cultivation Realm, the Machine Field still needed to be on guard.
Although the Machine Field wanted to retaliate against the Yin Yang Sect, they couldn't do anything about it. The Machine Field's individual strength wasn't very good. If the Machine Field sent their battleships to the Cultivation Realm to deal with the Yin Yang Sect, then the Great Sects of the Cultivation Realm wouldn't agree. Because of this, the Cultivators could only hide their anger.
Because of this, Desbarres and the others couldn't help but hold back their anger. They were natives of the Machine Field, so they had a sense of belonging to the realm. The Machine Field has always been suppressed by the Cultivation Realm. When the Cultivators saw them, they would look down on them. Now that something like this happened, how could Desbarres and the others be willing to accept it?
It just so happened that the Six Realms Newcomer Competition gave them an opportunity. But if Zhao Hai didn't make a breakthrough, then Desbarres wouldn't have been so confident. Now that Zhao Hai was able to condense astral qi, Desbarres and the others' confidence increased.
Zhao Hai's understanding of the Machine Field came mostly from the computer. But in the end, the computer was an inanimate object. There were some things that were inaccurate. Because of this, Zhao Hai didn't really understand what astral qi meant for the Machine Field.
The Machine Field didn't have a method to condense astral qi. This greatly restricted the individual strength of the Machine Field. To be honest, the Machine Field's demonic formation techniques weren't necessarily weaker than the Cultivation Realm's techniques. Once one cultivates 10,000 formations as one, they would be able to compete with Golden Core Stage experts in the Machine Field.
On the other hand, the Machine Field had astral qi condensation or evil qi condensation techniques. They could condense astral qi or evil qi into the body in order to increase the strength of their attacks.
Naturally, after so many years, it was impossible for the Machine Field to not have any methods for condensing astral qi or evil qi. However, there were very few people in the Machine Field who were able to successfully practice them. This had a lot to do with the Machine Field's method of cultivation.
The Machine Field's cultivation methods were mostly based on battle qi and magic. But to be honest, whether it was battle qi or magic, they weren't suitable for people to condense astral qi into the body.
Battle qi focused on the body. First, one needed to refine the body. Then, one needed to refine the body's blood and qi before producing qi. This was battle qi. Magic focused on spiritual force. It didn't care much about the body. And it was even more difficult to use spiritual force to condense astral qi.
Battle qi focused on the body. Battle qi was also tightly integrated with the body. There were some body tempering techniques like the Cultivation Realm. However, it was very difficult to condense astral qi into the body. Just like Zhao Hai's Stellar Body Tempering Fist, it was also a body tempering technique. To be honest, if Zhao Hai didn't know how to separate his mind and body, then he wouldn't have been able to condense astral qi into his body so quickly.
Moreover, the Stellar Body Tempering Technique was very painful. Zhao Hai's body had already adapted to the pain. Because of this, he was able to condense astral qi into his body and complete the tempering process. If it was an ordinary Warrior in the Machine Field, then they wouldn't be able to do it. They wouldn't be able to withstand the pain.
Needless to say, Mages focused on spiritual force. Spiritual force was closely related to the brain. Mages were very careful when cultivating spiritual force. If they weren't careful, then they might suffer from qi deviation. This would cause great damage to the brain. If they weren't careful, then they might turn into an idiot or a vegetable.
It was also because of this that it was even more difficult for a mage to combine aura energy and spiritual force. There was almost no mage who could do it.
The reason why Zhao Hai was able to combine astral qi and spiritual force was because of the separation technique. In fact, the separation technique was very ingenious. The mind was separated from the body. The mind was the mind, the body was the body, and the mind was outside the body. The mind was the mind, the body was the body, and the mind was outside the body. It was like a bystander controlling the body. This way, even if the mind was impacted, the body wouldn't be affected. The separation of mind and body can achieve this. Even if the mind was impacted, the body wouldn't be injured. And with Zhao Hai's incomparably tough body, it would be very difficult to injure him.
Secondly, Zhao Hai condensed astral qi from the Space. Things inside the Space wouldn't be able to harm Zhao Hai. Because of this, Zhao Hai was able to successfully condense astral qi into his body.
