Standing on the arena, Hao Ren turned his head to look at the Li Xia Arena that was dozens of meters away and found that the arena was empty.
In other words, the matches in the Li Xia Arena had ended much earlier.
The cultivators around the Jing Zhe Arena whispered to each other.
Hao Ren was only at Gen-level, but he was able to get out of the Ren Yin Group. It was unbelievable. However, the experienced cultivators knew that it was impossible to cheat outside the arena.
Each of the arenas around the Dragon God Shrine had array formations that could block the nature essence of cultivators below Kun-level. However, even if Qian-level and Kun-level cultivators tried to break through the array formations, they would still cause obvious vibrations.
Since the cultivators outside the arena couldn't help, the outcome of the battle would be decided by the two cultivators in the arena.
Many cultivators watched Hao Ren slowly jump from the arena to the ground, and they were all surprised by this cultivator with the number 'Ren Yin 246'.
"Good technique! He looks like he is only at Gen-level, but his strength is not to be underestimated!"
Zhao Hongyu looked at Hao Ren and was a bit surprised. She had thought that Hao Ren wasn't good at fighting, but Hao Ren's calmness and speed made him look like a fierce general who had been through hundreds of battles!
The wood-elemental cultivator was knocked out of the arena by Hao Ren before he could even use his most powerful technique.
According to Zhao Hongyu's judgment, the wood-elemental cultivator should have been able to break out of the Ren Yin Group. If he used his strategy and showed his strength step by step, he might even have had the chance to enter the top 50. However, Hao Ren killed this opportunity …
Hao Ren was an anomaly that they didn't expect!
The art of war was the art of deception. If you can, you will show that you can't. If you use it, you will show that you don't. If you are near, you will show that you are far away. If you are far away, you will show that you are near. If you are strong, you will avoid it. If you are angry, you will provoke it. If you are arrogant, you will work hard. If you are close, you will leave. If you are unprepared, you will attack.
Hao Ren's fighting style seemed to be aggressive, but it was actually the art of war!
At this thought, Zhao Hongyu looked at Hao Ren in a different way. With Hao Ren's strategy, he might be able to become the Commanding General!
"Hao Ren, this is the Zongzi Grandma made for you." She walked to him and took out two steaming rice dumplings from her bag before handing them to him.
"What did you tell Grandma?" Hao Ren asked as he untied the reeds that wrapped the rice dumplings.
"Tell them that we are going on an outing with Zi's family and will go back tomorrow," Xie Yujia said.
Hao Ren nodded and swallowed half of the rice dumpling. He hadn't eaten anything since he came to the Dragon God Shrine last night, and his stomach was growling from hunger after several battles.
Xie Yujia covered her mouth and chuckled when she saw Hao Ren wolfing down the food.
Standing half a meter away from them, Zhao Yanzi was so angry that her eyes were about to emit smoke as she watched them flirt with each other.
"This is the elixir pill I made for you to replenish your nature essence." She took out a white porcelain bottle from her pocket and placed it in his palm.
Hao Ren opened the bottle and immediately felt an intense surge of Nature Essence gushing out of the bottle!
"They are all Essence Replenishment Pills, 60 in total," Xie Yujia said.
Xie Yujia said it casually, but each of these elixir pills was a valuable level 4 elixir pill! Xie Yujia learned from Zhao Hongyu that Hao Ren was going to participate in the Dragon God Shrine's general exams, so she spent several nights making them for him.
"Ok, thanks a lot." Hao Ren put the bottle into his necklace and was touched when he saw the darkness in Xie Yujia's eyes.
If the dragon cultivators around them saw the 60 level 4 Essence Replenishment Pills in the bottle, they would be extremely jealous!
"Um …" Hao Ren looked at Xie Yujia and asked abruptly, "You … reached the Foundation Establishment Realm?"
"Yeah, I did yesterday." Xie Yujia nodded slightly.
"Haha, congratulations! I just felt that you are a little different, "Hao Ren said cheerfully.
In the past, Xie Yujia's aura seemed weaker when she stood beside Zhao Yanzi. However, the aura that Xie Yujia emitted today suppressed Zhao Yanzi's aura.
The Life-Death Notes could communicate with nature, so Xie Yujia's aura was more powerful than Zhao Yanzi's when she reached the Foundation Establishment Realm.
"It's ok …" Xie Yujia's face was a little red. She had used almost 20 Essence Replenishment Pills to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, so it wasn't something worth celebrating.
Hao Ren looked around and saw that there were about six more arenas where the general exams were taking place. The cultivators around Jing Zhe Arena gradually left. Some went to the outer city to rest, and some went to other arenas to continue watching the battles.
Dang … Dang … Dang …
The bell of the Dragon God Shrine rang again.
It was noon!
There were 96 small arenas in the north, south, east, and west, and all the battles had ended. In eight hours, 96 powerful cultivators had been selected.
The level 4 inspectors on the spectator stands entered the Dragon God Shrine one by one. The level 2 inspectors who were in charge of the arenas followed their deputy examiners into the Dragon God Shrine to report the situation, tabulate the results, and organize the list of names.
The next round of the competition would begin at midnight!
Hao Ren looked in the direction of the Li Xia Arena and found that many cultivators were leaving quickly. He looked in the direction of the Dragon God Shrine and found that Zhao Guang and the two elders still hadn't come out.
Zhao Yanzi was a little worried as well. She stood on her tiptoes and looked in the direction of the Dragon God Shrine.
At this moment, Zhao Guang walked out of the gate of the Dragon God Shrine with two elders and six inspectors.
"Dad!" Zhao Yanzi waved her hands. She was relieved when she saw Zhao Guang.
After walking out of the Dragon God Shrine, Zhao Guang led Elder Lu and Elder Sun toward the Jing Zhe Arena calmly.
Zhao Hongyu walked over and asked anxiously, "How was it?"
Zhao Guang didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "How was Ren's battle?"
"Not bad. He got first place in the Ren Yin Group," Zhao Hongyu answered.
"Oh?" Zhao Guang was a little surprised. Obviously, he didn't expect that Hao Ren would get out of the Ren Yin Group.
He turned to Zhao Hongyu and said, "According to the Dragon God Shrine, both the East Ocean Dragon Clan and the West Ocean Dragon Clan have to follow the rules. Black Wolf, the No. 1 master of West Ocean, is still in the dungeon of the Dragon God Shrine. The West Ocean Dragon Clan has asked for him several times, but they didn't let him go."
"Black Wolf killed several inspectors. Of course, they won't let him go," Zhao Hongyu said.
"So, they mean that the East Ocean Dragon Clan can take back what they want, but the cultivators sent by the East Ocean Dragon Clan must get into the top three!" Zhao Guang continued.
"Bastard!" Zhao Hongyu was furious, and even Zhao Yanzi was startled.
Zhao Hongyu looked at Zhao Guang, thought for a moment, and said, "Our East Ocean has several Qian-level and Kun-level elders. It's not difficult for them to get into the top three in the Dragon God Shrine's general exams. However, if the elders of East Ocean compete for the qualifications to be inspectors, they will be lower than them! We have already given them enough face by letting Hao Ren participate in the name of East Ocean! "
"Mom, isn't Third Uncle here as well?" Zhao Yanzi interrupted.
"Your Third Uncle is participating as an individual. Even if he gets into the top three, he doesn't represent the East Ocean Dragon Clan," Zhao Guang said.
"Uncle, Auntie, what's going on?" Hao Ren asked in confusion.
Zhao Hongyu looked at Hao Ren and then at Xie Yujia and the others behind him. She calmed down a bit and said, "Our East Ocean Dragon Clan once lent something to the Dragon God Shrine for 200 years. Now that the term is up, the Dragon God Shrine has no intention of returning it."
"What is it?" Zhao Yanzi blinked and asked.
"You don't need to worry about that." Zhao Hongyu didn't answer Zhao Yanzi's question.
Seeing that Zhao Hongyu was in a bad mood, Zhao Yanzi didn't dare to continue asking. Instead, she turned her head and looked at Premier Xia who was hunching over. She pouted and stared at him.
Seeing Zhao Yanzi's stare, Premier Xia immediately took two steps back and shook his head. As the old Premier of the East Ocean Dragon Clan, he knew what Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Guang were talking about. However, if Zhao Hongyu didn't say anything, he wouldn't dare to.
Zhao Yanzi turned her head and looked at Zhen Congming, thinking that he would know as well. However, Zhen Congming whistled and looked around, completely ignoring Zhao Yanzi.
In comparison, Zhen Congming was closer to Xie Yujia than Zhao Yanzi. This made Zhao Yanzi even angrier, and she glared at Hao Ren.
"Is this thing very important? Must we get it back? Or is it very important to the Dragon God Shrine? "Hao Ren hesitated for half a second and asked.
At that time, Hao Ren thought that Zhao Guang must have his own reasons for coming to the Dragon God Shrine. Now, it seemed like it was true.
"This thing is very important to the Dragon God Shrine, but it's even more important to the East Ocean Dragon Clan. In the past 200 years, the East Ocean Dragon Clan was gradually suppressed by the West Ocean Dragon Clan because of this thing, "Zhao Guang said.
"The lease is almost up. If we can't get it back in time, it's hard to say what will happen in the future," Hao Ren thought about it and said.
All the principles in the world were the same. It was just like borrowing money. If you couldn't get it back within the agreed time limit, it would become a bad debt in the future.
"Ok!" Zhao Guang nodded with a serious expression.
"If the Dragon God Shrine is really unreasonable, the East Ocean Dragon Clan can also fight with them!" Zhao Hongyu said suddenly.
Lu Qing and Sun Yun who were standing beside Zhao Guang were silent.
Zhao Guang sighed lightly. "Three of the six Deputy Shrine Masters of the Dragon God Shrine have reached peak Qian-level."
Zhao Hongyu looked at Zhao Guang in a daze and didn't say anything.
The rapid development of the Dragon God Shrine in the past 200 years had far exceeded the expectations of the East Ocean Dragon Clan! It had surpassed the four ocean dragon clans and become the number one force!
In order to help the Dragon God Shrine fight against the human cultivation sects, it seemed like the East Ocean Dragon Clan couldn't get it back even if the Dragon God Shrine didn't want to return it!
