"Since Zhao Kuo is also at the Dragon God Shrine, you can discuss it with him when the competition begins in the afternoon," Zhao Hongyu said.
"That's the only way. There is still half a year left …" Zhao Guang shook his head slightly.
If Zhao Kuo had reached the Heavenly Dragon Realm, the Dragon God Shrine would have taken half a year at most for this item from the East Ocean Dragon Palace. If the East Ocean Dragon Palace was far weaker than the Dragon God Shrine, the Dragon God Shrine would continue to play dumb.
This item was important to both the Dragon God Shrine and the East Ocean Dragon Palace. It belonged to the East Ocean Dragon Palace, and it was also used by the Dragon God Shrine for 200 years!
Hao Ren knew that the old dragon king of the East Ocean Dragon Palace, Zhao Haoran, had reached the end of his lifespan! In other words, the person who lent the item to Zhao Guang 200 years ago was no longer here, and it would be even more difficult for the East Ocean Dragon Palace to get it back!
"What on earth is this item? It has greatly reduced the strength of the East Ocean Dragon Palace in 200 years …" Hao Ren thought.
Zhao Yanzi was very curious about this item, and Hao Ren wanted to know the details as well.
However, since Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu didn't say much, Hao Ren couldn't ask. There were many people around, and they were in the core territory of the Dragon God Shrine. If Zhao Hongyu wanted to talk about it, she would have to wait until they got back to East Ocean City.
"Let's get ready for the competition in the afternoon." Zhao Guang calmed down and led them out of the combat examination area.
Compared to the other support groups of elders, Hao Ren's support group was more youthful and charming. They were all young, and there were a few beautiful girls among them.
Hao Ren's assisting inspector logo looked special in the plain brown robe.
"They are the representatives of the East Ocean Dragon Palace."
"I thought the East Ocean Dragon Palace never participates in the general exams of the Dragon God Shrine."
"I heard that the one participating is the Fuma."
"Fuma? No wonder. They are not all from East Ocean."
"The princess is still young and unmarried …"
"Ren Yin 246! He still has his identity token. He fought his way out of the Ren Yin group. "
"Gen-level … He is only at Gen-level. The Dragon God Shrine did it on purpose. I heard that the overall strength of the Ren Yin group is the weakest. "
All kinds of discussions rose as they walked past.
Indeed, the overall strength of the cultivators in the Ren Yin Group was lower than Hao Ren had expected. However, Hao Ren didn't think that the Dragon God Shrine was taking care of him. Instead, he thought that it was Qin Shaoyang's arrangement!
By separating the cultivators with the highest realms into other groups, Hao Ren would have a chance to break out of the group. In this way, Hao Ren would battle with the real masters on the grand arena, and the tens of thousands of cultivators in the audience would witness the outcome!
Qin Shaoyang wanted to expose Hao Ren's crushing defeat in front of everyone!
When they arrived at the outer city, they went directly to Ren Yin 246 and picked up the bag they had left there.
It was Zhao Yanzi's first time at the Dragon God Shrine, and she was curious about the rooms in the written exam area.
Since the Theory Exam had ended, the enchantment of all the rooms had been opened. Some of the cultivators did not want to go to the periphery, so they directly rested in the rooms.
The row of rooms around Ren Yin 246 were all empty. Everyone casually entered the room, eating and resting at the same time.
It looked calm on the surface, but in reality, there was a turbulent undercurrent. Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Guang's expressions were not as relaxed as before.
Zhao Yanzi ran to Premier Xia's room to ask about 'that thing', but she could not get any information. She pouted and went back to her own room.
Xie Yujia, Lu Linlin, and Lu Lili were sharing the rice dumplings outside of the room, and they looked very harmonious.
Essence Replenishment Pill …
Hao Ren poured out an elixir pill from a small bottle and swallowed it.
The intense nature essence instantly filled his body.
The Five Mountains Bracelets greatly limited Hao Ren's Nature Essence output, but the four-hour battle had consumed a lot of Nature Essence.
The matches in the afternoon would be more intense, and they would consume more nature essence. Xie Yujia's bottle of Essence Replenishment Pills was undoubtedly a timely help.
Hao Ren took out an empty bottle from his bag and put 30 out of the remaining 59 Essence Replenishment Pills into a new bottle. Then, he threw it into his necklace.
The sword energies of the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll swam quickly in Hao Ren's body. Two hours was enough for Hao Ren to fully recover …
Dang … Dang …
The bell of the Dragon God Shrine rang.
It was midnight!
Hao Ren slowly withdrew his nature essence and walked out of the room.
Elder Lu and the others also walked out of the surrounding rooms and walked toward the inner city.
The flock of cultivators quickly filled up the examination area on the east side.
In the past two hours, the news that the Fuma of the East Ocean Dragon Clan would participate in the Dragon God Shrine's general exams spread quickly. Everyone came to see how the cultivator representing the East Ocean Dragon Clan would perform!
Therefore, the number of cultivators in the east exam area far exceeded the number of cultivators in the other three exam areas! The arenas around the arenas were almost impenetrable!
"It's midnight! The winner will enter the arena!" A level 3 inspector stood on a large arena that was surrounded by 24 small arenas and shouted while channeling his nature essence.
The identity token on Hao Ren's waist suddenly emitted a bright yellow light.
At the same time, 23 yellow lights lit up in other places in the crowd.
"Good luck!" Zhao Hongyu looked at Hao Ren encouragingly and said.
She hoped that Hao Ren could perform better, but she didn't expect him to get into the top three. In her eyes, Hao Ren's fighting style in the Jing Zhe Arena was amazing, but it should be his limit. Hao Ren only used the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll as a fist technique, and he could only use the sword array formation to surprise his opponent once.
"Ok!" Hao Ren exerted strength in his legs and flew up lightly. He was the first one to jump into the center of the large arena.
Then, the other 23 cultivators flew into the arena from different positions.
Hao Ren widened his eyes and saw Zhao Kuo among the 23 cultivators!
The black-faced, black-bearded Zhao Kuo was still as majestic as before. His brown robe was pushed up by his sturdy muscles, as if it could be torn apart by Zhao Kuo's sudden exertion at any moment.
Jia Yin, Yi Yin, Bing Yin, Ding Yin …
Jia Mao, Yi Mao, Bing Mao, Ding Mao …
There were exactly 24 cultivators! They stood in two rows according to the characters' Yin 'and' Mao '. Wang Xi, who had the identity token of 'Ren Mao 197', stood face to face with Hao Ren, who had the identity token of 'Ren Yin 246'.
Wang Xi looked at Hao Ren in disdain. He was a bit surprised that Hao Ren could get out of the Ren Yin group. However, after hearing the rumors, he thought that the Dragon God Shrine was biased towards the East Ocean Dragon Clan on purpose!
Zhao Kuo stood diagonally across from Hao Ren with several cultivators between them.
Hao Ren took the opportunity to look at Zhao Kuo and found that Zhao Kuo was only at Dui-level! Zhao Kuo used his iron fists to get out of the Yi Mao group without using the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll!
Seeing Hao Ren looking at him, Zhao Kuo glared at him, forcing Hao Ren to look away immediately.
"This Third Uncle of mine is still as hot-tempered after re-cultivating." Hao Ren thought.
While Hao Ren was looking at the other 23 cultivators, the 23 cultivators were also looking at their opponents in the arena.
There were 13 Dui-level cultivators, eight Xun-level cultivators, and two Kun-level cultivators! Hao Ren was the weakest among them; he was only at Gen-level!
Two Kun-level cultivators! Hao Ren remembered that when Su Han participated in the Dragon God Shrine's general exams, she was also at Kun-level!
This was only the east exam area, and there might be Kun-level cultivators in the other three exam areas! There might even be Qian-level cultivators!
The Dragon God Shrine's general exams were full of hidden talents!
Among the 24 cultivators, there were four assisting inspectors, two at Xun-level and one at Dui-level. Hao Ren was also the weakest!
Among the 13 Dui-level cultivators, Hao Ren recognized one of them; it was Lu Qi!
The Go Genius Lu Qi's pale face was full of scars, and he had the tag 'Jia Mao 166' hanging on his waist. Obviously, he had gotten out of the Jia Mao group!
If the girls of East Ocean University saw him like this, they would be heartbroken by the girls who liked Lu Qi.
However, Lu Qi was not only a new star in the Go world, but he was also a cultivator of the fire-elemental dragon clan in Wude Forest. Even if he couldn't get the assisting inspector position from Hao Ren, he still had to participate in the Dragon God Shrine's general exams!
"The Yin group and the Mao group will choose their opponents!" the supervising inspector stood in the middle of the two rows of cultivators and said.
Hearing this, Hao Ren was a bit surprised. He had thought that his opponent was Wang Xi, and he had been thinking about how to deal with Wang Xi. However, the fact was that he could choose his opponent.
"Jia Mao!" the inspector yelled.
Lu Qi, who was covered in scars, took half a step forward and said immediately, "Ren Yin!"
Among the 24 people, Hao Ren was the weakest. Since Lu Qi had gotten out of the Jia Mao group, he wanted to win a few more games. Therefore, he chose Hao Ren without hesitation.
Hao Ren looked at Lu Qi and nodded.
His expression was very calm. In fact, Hao Ren was anxious as well. "Su Han, Su Han, why aren't you coming out at this time?
Dui-level and Xun-level cultivators are manageable, but Kun-level cultivators are not to be trifled with!
With the Five Mountains Bracelets on, he would be instantly killed by a Kun-level cultivator!
In fact, Hao Ren was secretly relieved that Lu Qi chose Hao Ren.
"Jia Yin!" the inspector yelled again.
The cultivator with the identity token of Jia Yin chose a Dui-level cultivator as his opponent.
The inspectors called out the names one by one, and the Kun-level cultivator with the identity token of Ding Yin chose Zhao Kuo as his opponent.
Zhao Kuo snorted as a response.
When it was Wang Xi's turn, he chose a Dui-level cultivator with the identity token of Geng Yin, but his eyes were still on Hao Ren. It seemed like Wang Xi was confident that he could enter the next round, but he couldn't defeat Hao Ren in front of everyone.
Soon, the 24 cultivators were all matched up. The inspectors divided the 12 pairs of cultivators into 12 small arenas, and they would compete at the same time. The next six cultivators would compete in the big arena in the middle.
The 24 cultivators walked to the edge of the arena. Seeing Zhao Kuo's figure, Hao Ren chased after him and called out, "Third Uncle!"
Zhao Kuo turned around and stared at Hao Ren with his bell-like eyes. He asked in a deep voice, "What? Do you want to beg for mercy? Even if you pass the first round, don't expect me to show mercy to you! "
"This …" Hao Ren searched in his necklace and took out a small porcelain bottle. "This is for you."
"What the hell is this!" Zhao Kuo yelled as he opened the bottle. Suddenly, he felt the intense nature essence rushing toward him!
There were dozens of half-a-bottle level 4 Essence Replenishment Pills! It could be called a holy elixir!
"If I can fight with Third Uncle, I will also be honored!" Hao Ren smiled and jumped down from the stage.

He suddenly realized that he had gotten the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches wrong. Please don't get to the bottom of it.
