It was night. The night sky was clear, and the stars were shining brightly.
In a cultivation room in a courtyard on the top of a mountain, there was a dense aura. A young man was sitting cross-legged, floating in mid-air. His body was shining with a resplendent seven-colored light that was incomparably intense. This kind of aura was clearly an existence that had already comprehended the mysteries of the five elements. What was even more shocking was that a coiled creature vaguely appeared above his head. Although it was only a few dozen feet long and was only an illusion, it made the young man's aura many times more terrifying.
If anyone saw this creature, they would definitely be extremely shocked!
Azure Dragon!
Boom!
As the dense aura around the young man's body became thicker and thicker, the moment it reached its peak, the young man's clothes suddenly exploded with a boom. In an instant, an extremely bright seven-colored light shone out, and the entire training room rumbled and shook. If this training room was the kind of training room in the mortal world, it would have collapsed directly.
Roar!
At that moment, the coiled Azure Dragon above the young man's head suddenly flew up and let out a dragon's roar that resounded through the heavens and earth.
Even the powerful restrictions of the cultivation room were unable to stop the dragon's roar. In an instant, the mountain peak within a radius of a few hundred miles began to tremble. Rumbling sounds could be heard as countless rocks rolled down from the mountain peak.
The huge commotion caused countless cultivators to walk out of their training rooms in shock.
… …
Whoosh!
In the training room, the soaring Azure Dragon circled a few times above the young man's head, and then directly entered between the young man's eyebrows.
Crack, crack …
At that moment, the young man's completely naked body emitted strange cracking sounds. Sparkling and translucent Azure Dragon Scales started to form on the young man's skin. First, it was his hands and feet, then his arms, legs, and then his body. Gradually, it spread to his face. His entire body was completely covered by the Dragon Scales.
The young man opened his eyes and stared at his own body with great excitement. Then, his five fingers opened into a claw. Immediately, his hand strangely began to grow, and in an instant, it became an extremely sharp Dragon Claw. Just the aura alone was terrifying to the extreme.
"I have finally completely merged with the inheritance of the Divine Beast Azure Dragon … Hahahaha, just in time, just in time, very good! Hahaha … "
"I've only completed the first step of fusion. What's there to be excited about … "At this moment, a childish voice sounded in the young man's mind. The voice was childish, but it sounded old.
"Of course I am! If I could have gotten my hands on you earlier in the Shen Wu Ruins, and not at the last moment, why would I have to risk my life now? Among the ten seeded players, there will definitely be a place for me. Fortunately, they had finally fused tonight. Otherwise, if they were unlucky and met that kid tomorrow and were eliminated, wouldn't that be a pity? Now, not only have I succeeded in fusing with the Divine Light, I have also borrowed your power to break through to rank one Martial Saint. Hahaha … how could I not be excited? What bullsh * t seeded player, the champion of the Hundred Empire Rankings is none other than me! Hahaha … "
"Don't be too complacent. Since you've obtained the inheritance of the Azure Dragon, the inheritances of the White Tiger, the Black Tortoise, the Vermillion Bird, the Qilin, and the Phoenix should also have appeared. The Vermilion Bird is the most troublesome, and the Phoenix is troublesome as well. However, this is a one-on-one competition. Facing the Phoenix and the Phoenix alone is not a threat to you … The others are about the same. The key is still up to you! "
"I'm already a Martial Sage. Who can compare to me? It's said that the seeded player in my group, Chen Hao, is the one who obtained the Phoenix's inheritance … "
"Then he should have only obtained the Phoenix's inheritance. He's not a threat … as long as you're stronger than him. "
"Of course. He's only a rank nine Martial Ancestor. Although … it's said that he's a very abnormal guy, I'm now a Martial Sage. Why would I be afraid of him? I can truly use the energy of the five elements. Haha … I can feel that my current strength has increased by tens of times! I was originally ranked twenty, only ten places away from him. I'm actually looking forward to meeting him tomorrow … hahaha … "
… …
"The aura of the Azure Dragon! Chen Hao, there's indeed someone who obtained the Azure Dragon's inheritance … White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, Qilin, there's definitely someone who obtained it too! "
Little Bird said with a trace of surprise in Chen Hao's mind.
At almost the same time, there were four other youths, two males and two females, who had the same conversation with Chen Hao on the other four mountain peaks.
However, those four youths, after a short moment of shock, began to madly cultivate, making the final dash. This was completely different from the majority of the top ten disciples in the group. Because at this moment, the competition had already begun. It was too late to work hard now. Adjusting oneself to the best state and facing it with the best mentality was the best choice.
But these four people were different. Because they were the same as that youth, they had obtained the White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise and Qilin's inheritance respectively. However, until now, they had not truly completed the first step of the fusion.
… …
"Chen Hao, if you meet them, you have to be careful. Sigh … Are you really not going to be with Xiao Lian? I mean in the future … There's no other way for the competition now. But in the future, only when Phoenix and I work together can we unleash our true power. Alone, there's no way we can contend against the five divine beasts. "
"I've never thought of borrowing the strength of your inheritance …" Chen Hao said bluntly, "Is there a way for you and Phoenix to give it to Xiao Lian?"
"There is!"
"There is? Why didn't you say so earlier? If you had said so earlier, you would have reunited earlier. Tell me, how to do it! "
"It's very simple. As long as you and Xiao Lian have Yin and Yang intercourse and let her truly reach the realm of Yin and Yang balance, Phoenix and I can do any of you …"
"That's equivalent to not saying anything! Go back to your nest, don't bother me … "Chen Hao said with a frown.
Right now, he was indeed a little annoyed. Because there were some things that even he himself did not know whether he was doing the right thing or not. The previous two him did not have any emotional experience. One was Xia Youyou, whom he had met by accident, as if it was destined by fate. The other was Helian Wuzi, whom he had molested and had developed feelings for. Especially when he thought of Helian Wuzi, who had never truly exposed her feelings, crazily hitting the transmission light pillar with tears streaming down her face … Moreover, he was certain that two years later, Helian Wuzi would definitely be able to stand out from the Hundred Empire Rankings. These two already made him not know where to go. He could not tell which was more important and which was less. He could only let nature take its course and take one step at a time …
How could he dare to do more?
Moreover, right now, he did not want to have any emotional fetters. This was also one of the main reasons why he did not want to choose a sect on the Hundred Empire Rankings. Otherwise, there was no doubt that Tantai Lian, Yang Fan, and the others would choose the same sect as him. Moreover, with Tantai Lian's talent, there was probably no sect that would reject her. Yang Fan, Li Yifeng, and Ni Jianping also had high hopes.
Therefore, when Tantai Lian asked why, he said that it was for a girl, for a breath of air. In reality, it was just for a breath of air. He, who exuded arrogance from his bones, would ruthlessly slap anyone who had once despised and ridiculed him. He wanted to let Xia Youyou's family see that he, an insignificant person in a small county in the secular world, was not inferior to any bullshit genius! Therefore, he wanted to stand out from the rest on the Dragon Transformation List and amaze the world with a single brilliant feat. He wanted to become a target that the top sects of the Eastern Continent would fight over. Only then would he be able to vent the depression in his heart!
Cutting off the distracting thoughts in his mind, Chen Hao immersed himself in the comprehension of merging with the world.
… …
"Today's group competition for the top ten will be a round-robin competition. You will draw lots to determine your opponents. Each person will have two matches per day. The first and second place contestants will advance from their groups and enter the top twenty overall! All contestants, please step onto the stage and draw lots! "
The next day, the group competition for the top ten officially began. The martial arts arena, which could hold hundreds of thousands of people, was filled to the brim today. Countless rogue cultivators, sect disciples, and experts from large families and factions rushed into the arena. At least half of them were here to make a bet. In the long life of the cultivation world, this was undoubtedly one of the greatest pleasures. Especially for the sect disciples, the poorer rogue cultivators were even more enthusiastic about it.
… …
Soon, the results of the draw were out.
Each group of ten contestants drew a number from one to ten. In the first round, number one would fight number two, number three would fight number four, and so on. Each group would have five matches. The ten groups would proceed with their matches one by one. After completing the first round, they would all fight in the central arena.
"First group, first match, number one, Li You Ran, and number two, Wan Yi, please step onto the stage!"
Whoosh!
Whoosh! Two figures immediately flew from the contestants' seats to the arena. The aura around them bloomed as they flew.
… …
"Wan Yi, ranked eleventh on the pagoda stele, and Li You Ran, ranked ninety-first. There's no suspense in the outcome. If nothing unexpected happens, Li You Ran will lose … The odds for this match aren't high. I bet 100,000 grade-eight spirit pills. Even if I win, I'll only earn 10,000 pills … "
"Your way of betting is too steady. You won't make a fortune. I only bet 10,000 pills on Wan Yi winning. If I win, I'll earn 100,000 pills. Haha … "
"That's a waste!"
"What if? Don't forget that guy's name is Wan Yi. Wan Yi, if he loses, won't I make a fortune? Winning big with small is the shortcut to riches! Anyway, I won't die if I lose … "
Countless people in the audience began to discuss when Wan Yi and Li You Ran entered the arena. Clearly, in the round-robin competition for the top ten contestants, there were corresponding odds for each match.
Chen Hao and the other disciples of the Hundred Empire Ranking were shocked when they heard the discussions. The wealth of the cultivation world was, of course, even more shocking was the wealth of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce. This was a martial arts arena with hundreds of thousands of people. How many people had bet? Even if each person bet 1,000 pills, how much would that be? How much wealth would one need to afford such a bet?
… …
Boom!
Boom! Following the referee's words, Wan Yi and Li You Ran's aura soared crazily at the same time.
"Ah … What … What is this?"
Almost in an instant, before the two had even started fighting, they had only activated their protective auras and raised their battle intent, which caused the entire Martial Arts Practice Field to erupt into cries of surprise. Numerous gazes were instantly locked onto Li You Ran's figure.
"Divine Beast Black Tortoise?"
