Central Region, Hidden Dragon Fortress, on the arena!
Carefully recalling the various relics and caves that he had explored in his previous life, as well as the famous mountains and rivers that he had traveled to, Yu Haoran finally thought of a good place for Zhou Mengling to live in seclusion. He immediately took out a blank jade slip from the storage ring and used his Divine Thought to mark the detailed map of the place.
Then, he handed the jade slip to Zhou Mengling and said solemnly.
"Junior Sister Apprentice Zhou, the predicament you are facing now can be said to be caused by me, Yu Haoran. This jade slip contains a little of my sincerity. Consider it as making up for some of my debt to you!"
"Yu Shixiong, don't say that."
Facing Yu Haoran's apology full of guilt, Zhou Mengling quickly waved her hand and shook her head.
"If senior brother didn't use a special formation to deprive me of the qualifications that didn't belong to me, then my future fate would be ten times or even a hundred times worse than what senior brother said."
"So, senior brother, you not only don't owe Mengling anything, but Mengling should thank you for saving my life."
Zhou Mengling's understanding showed that after experiencing the violent ups and downs of life, she had gradually changed her indifferent and selfish character.
And this kind of change in character made Yu Haoran feel gratified, but at the same time, the guilt in his heart was even stronger.
Therefore, in addition to choosing a suitable Xanadu for her to live in seclusion, when his alchemy realm was enough to refine higher grade elixirs in the future, he must help her to realize the reversal of life.
After making a decision in his heart, Yu Haoran didn't continue to say anything about the debt and compensation. He just motioned Zhou Mengling to take a look at the information in the jade slip first.
"Senior brother, this is …!" Zhou Mengling reached out and took the jade slip handed to her by Yu Haoran. After checking the map marked in the jade slip with her mind, Zhou Mengling asked with surprise in her eyes.
"Don't say, don't ask, just remember it yourself!" Yu Haoran nodded and reminded her solemnly.
Zhou Mengling nodded heavily and then used her mind to remember the map in the jade slip. She immediately destroyed the jade slip in her hand and looked at Yu Haoran with expectation in her eyes.
"Senior brother, will you come to see me in the future?"
"Yes!" In the future, Yu Haoran still needed to refine pills suitable for Zhou Mengling to break through to a higher realm. Therefore, facing her expectant gaze, Yu Haoran nodded and replied.
"Senior Brother, thank you!"
Zhou Mengling expressed her gratitude with a hint of sweetness in her heart. With a happy smile on her face, she directly leaped into the air and left the ring.
However, she didn't leave the Hidden Dragon Fortress immediately. Instead, she sat cross-legged on an empty ground and used the best pills to make up for the drop in cultivation caused by the loss of potential.
Living in seclusion in the mountains and forests meant that she didn't want to be involved in the struggles of the world. It didn't mean that she would give up on her pursuit of martial arts.
Although the Fighting Star Trampling Formation had robbed her of her potential as a top demon, she was still one of the strongest among the younger generation in the Tian Xuan Land. Relying on the trump cards in her hands, she still had the power to make it to the top ten.
The top ten of the Five Regions Hidden Dragon Leaderboard would receive the Hidden Dragon Fate, which would allow her to become a peak sixth-grade Martial Honorable when she broke through to the Martial Honorable Realm.
At the same time, she knew very well that if she wanted to achieve her wish, not only could she not give up her pursuit of martial arts, but she also had to cultivate ten times or even a hundred times harder than before.
Looking at Zhou Mengling leaping into the air and leaving the ring, Yu Haoran turned his head and glanced at the place where Zhongli, Shuiqin, and the other three disappeared. He found that under the joint attack of the three of them, they still couldn't get rid of Zhou Chufeng, the ancestor of the Zhou family. This made him feel a little pressure in his heart.
However, as the leaderboard continued to force the contestants onto the ring, Yu Haoran quickly withdrew his gaze and went all out to fight the next match.
"I admit defeat!" Without the slightest hesitation, the contestant ranked 36th on the Eastern Region Leaderboard directly admitted defeat the moment his feet touched the ring.
"I admit defeat!" The demon cultivator ranked 36th on the Northern Region Leaderboard also chose to admit defeat.
"I admit defeat!"
"…!"
In less than two minutes, all the contestants below the top ten on the Five Regions Leaderboard directly admitted defeat the moment they stepped onto the ring. This also made the number behind Yu Haoran's name become 416.
Glancing at the young man in a Taoist robe from the Eastern Region, Yuwen Haofei from the Northern Region, the bald young man in a golden robe from the Western Region, and Huangfu Chuying from the Central Region, Yu Haoran's eyes suddenly surged with a strong desire to fight.
As long as he defeated the champions of the four regions in the next match, then not only would he create a miracle since the creation of the Hidden Dragon Luck Battle, but he would also receive the blessing of the Hidden Dragon Luck beyond imagination.
Even more, with the blessing of the Hidden Dragon Luck beyond imagination, he would achieve a transformation of his cultivation base and strength, and become a true master who could affect the situation of the Tianxuan Continent in one fell swoop.
The young man in a Taoist robe who was forcibly brought onto the ring by the leaderboard greeted Yu Haoran with a gentle expression, "Qu Yunlong, the chief disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect, greets Yu Shixiong!"
"Yu Haoran, the ninth disciple of the Clear Wind and Cloud Peak Master of the Hundred Chi Gate, greets Senior Brother Qu!" Yu Haoran also cupped his hands and returned the greeting.
The differential treatment towards Qu Yunlong had nothing to do with his cultivation base and strength, and also had nothing to do with his character. It was entirely due to his identity as the champion of the Eastern Region Hidden Dragon Ranking.
Giving him the basic courtesy was not only out of respect for the Hidden Dragon Luck, but also out of respect for himself, the champion of the Southern Region Hidden Dragon Ranking.
"Yu Shixiong, through the previous few thrilling matches, Qu Yunlong knows that I am no match for you, Senior Brother."
Yu Haoran's differential treatment made Qu Yunlong feel a sense of excitement in his heart, and he took the opportunity to speak his thoughts before stepping onto the ring.
"However, as the champion of the Eastern Region Hidden Dragon Ranking, if I take the initiative to admit defeat, it will not only damage the reputation of the entire Eastern Region and my sect, but I will also feel unreconciled."
"But after all, I am an ordinary person with flesh and blood, and I have seven emotions and six desires. I am not only afraid of losing everything I have now, but also afraid of losing thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years of life in the future."
Speaking of this, Qu Yunlong cupped his hands and asked Yu Haoran for help.
"So, Qu Yunlong is asking Senior Brother, can you and I decide the winner with one move?"
"In this way, Qu Yunlong can accept his defeat wholeheartedly, and also use my trump card to save my life, and also maintain my position as the champion of the Eastern Region Hidden Dragon Ranking."
