As for the main culprit who started the war — Ao Seng — he was locked up in the prison of the Fengyuan Country. His martial arts were abolished and he was imprisoned for life.
"I didn't think that the officials of the Great Proud Country would be so sensible. They actually surrendered in advance? However, this also prevented the people from being plunged into misery and suffering. It could be said to be a righteous act. "
Luo Ping was quite satisfied with the Great Proud Country's surrender. After all, when war broke out, the ones who were harmed were the innocent people. Since they were able to subdue the Great Proud Country without using weapons, it could be said to be a success.
"Let's not worry about other things for now. I should hurry up and cultivate. After all … the Ominous Demon can attack at any time. At that time, perhaps there will be a fierce battle …"
Luo Ping slightly closed his eyes and started to use the Inner Strength cultivation technique — the Bright Nether Heart Sutra. He hoped to be able to increase the circulation speed of his True Energy a bit, increase his Inner Strength, increase his power, and at the same time, increase his realm.
For some reason, he felt that there would be a huge battle with the Ominous Demon that he had never met before. Perhaps that battle would be the most difficult battle he had ever faced.
In order to ensure that he would not screw up when the time came, Luo Ping could only seize all the time and speed up his cultivation. No matter if it was raising his realm or training his martial arts, he could not relax in the slightest.
Because last time, when he finished his secluded cultivation, he had already reached the early stage of the Martial Lord level. Right now, in a short period of time, he could not level up again. So, he could only do it step by step.
As the mysterious Body Refining Technique of the Cultivation Domain's Five Elements Tantra, one could imagine how precious it was. Once it was cultivated to the ninth layer, it would be unstoppable.
Luo Ping was still stuck at the third layer. However, after going through several battles before, he had a deep understanding of the hardness of the body and the degree of resistance. As he slowly improved, he also had some battle techniques.
Besides, this technique was the prequel of the Body Refining Technique passed down from the Ancient Era. Although he didn't know what the Ancient Era Body Refining Technique was, just by the power of the Sandaluo Divine Technique, he could imagine that if he were to obtain the complete Ancient Era Body Refining Technique, he would definitely be able to shock the world. It was even possible that his body would become a saint.
However, these were still far away for Luo Ping. Right now, the most important thing for him was to practice all the martial arts he had learned.
When he was cultivating, Luo Ping would not forget to absorb the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. Although the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy in the Mortal Domain was extremely scarce, it was better than nothing. No matter how small an ant was, it was still meat. Therefore, Luo Ping had never given up.
The 'Three Elements in One Divine Technique' was a cultivation method that Qing Xiu Enlightened Master had obtained from the ruins of the 'One Origin Holy Palace'. In terms of preciousness and level, it could be said to be above the 'Sandaluo Divine Technique'. Luo Ping could feel that it was extraordinary.
The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in his upper, middle, and lower dantians had increased by 30% compared to when he had just left the cave. However, compared to the spacious inner space of his dantian, it was only a drop in the ocean.
However, this small amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy was more than a hundred times more powerful than the True Qi produced by one's body. After all, there was a clear distinction between the two.
This was also the reason why even a Xiantian Martial King expert from the Mortal Domain could not fight back against a low-level emissary from the Cultivation Domain.
In Luo Ping's upper Navel, the originally sparkling and translucent 'spirit embryo' had become even more transparent. Although its size had not increased by much, the energy it contained had increased by a lot.
Inside the 'spirit embryo', the electric arc that was like both liquid and gas shuttled back and forth more violently. The power of the electric current it released had also increased by a level.
Every time Luo Ping absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy particles into his' sea of consciousness', the 'spirit embryo' would eagerly devour them like a starving child.
After nearly a year of spiritual cultivation, Luo Ping could clearly feel that the range of his' spiritual sense 'was slowly increasing. Although the increase was small, it at least showed that his efforts had not been in vain.
Although the 'Green Wood Spirit Channeling Art' had been completed and the wood spiritual energy that had been absorbed into his body had gathered into a sphere, he could still continue to absorb wood spiritual energy.
Moreover, about 10% of the wood spiritual energy had been turned into mist and was still transforming. However, the speed at which it was turning into mist was slower than Luo Ping's absorption speed.
As for the martial arts in the 'Chenyang Scripture', Luo Ping was becoming more and more proficient as he practiced. This was because he deeply understood that one more move meant one more life-saving means and capital.
With his heart as deep as the sea, he did not care about the outside world. For the next few days, Luo Ping had been cultivating in the VIP room and did not take a step out. Chen Xiuxiu and the others also understood his worries and did not ask much.
A few days later, the day of the 'Battle for the Champion' finally arrived. All the participants of the 'Kui Xing Lou' had already rushed to the competition venue early in the morning, waiting for the exciting moment.
The outer court of the imperial palace was originally used as a training ground for soldiers. Now, it had become a place for the competition. Four arenas of the same size were unusually eye-catching.
At this time, there were not many spectators outside the venue. After all, the imperial palace did not allow outsiders to enter as they pleased.
Of course, if there were officials who brought their relatives or friends to watch, they could also do so. However, they had to be under the supervision of the imperial palace guards and were not allowed to bring weapons.
The horn sounded and all the participants entered the venue one by one. Following that, some officials and spectators also took their places. Finally, under the crowd's escort, the King, Zong Lie, appeared in front of the crowd.
With a majestic gait and a disdainful look, Zong Lie walked to the front of the Dragon Throne. After looking around, he sat down without hesitation. Beside him, Zong Yuanhao and Zong Xueru also sat down.
Other than the two of them, there were two other people who were worth paying attention to. This was because the two of them were on the left and right of the King, Zong Lie, and were discussing something with him.
The person on the right was dressed in martial attire. He sat upright and still, his face was dignified and his pair of tiger-like eyes showed determination and courage.
This person was the leader of the military generals, the Great General of the 'Dragon Legion', 'Duke Zhen' Guo Xing. He had the strength of a peak Martial King and was someone who was highly valued by the previous King. Even Zong Lie had to be courteous to him.
Ever since he was poisoned and ambushed by one of his confidants and was captured by a spy from the Da Ao Nation with his cultivation sealed, he hated the Da Ao Nation to the bone.
However, although he was rescued by a nameless hero, due to his serious injuries, the King did not allow him to lead troops to help in the border war. When his injuries were healed and he was ready to kill, he happened to hear that the border crisis had been resolved and that the Da Ao Nation had been divided up.
After hearing about the situation from the King, Guo Xing was very curious about the young man who saved the country and had been looking forward to meeting him.
On the left of the King, there was a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance and extraordinary bearing. He held a feather fan in his hand and spoke softly with a smile. Between his eyebrows, there was an air of authority.
This person looked similar to Luo Yuntian. He was his father, Luo Ping's Fourth Uncle, Luo Mingyu.
As the leader of the civil officials and the teacher of the Crown Prince, although Luo Mingyu was still young, no one felt that it was inappropriate for him to be on equal footing with Guo Xing, an important official of the previous dynasty.
After a few simple words and everyone calmed down, Guo Xing stood up and took a few steps forward. After a few announcements, he officially announced the start of the competition.
According to the King's previous edict, the first to participate were the warriors who had won the 'Battle of the Champion' in the previous competition. After all of them had finished, it would be the turn of the current competition.
The participants of each level had already finished drawing lots. Now, they were standing behind each of the four arenas, going up the stage in order to compete.
In the previous competition, Luo Ping, Luo Yunfeng, Luo Yunfei, and Zhao Jiangbo were qualified to participate in the competition. However, Luo Ping no longer needed to participate in the competition. Instead, he led Chen Xiuxiu and the others to sit on the left side of the arena and watch the competition.
After three days and six rounds of competition, the 'Battle of the Champion' of the previous competition was finally over. The four leaders of the four levels, red, purple, silver, and blue, were determined.
Because many warriors had improved their realms, they could only participate in the competition according to their current realms. Therefore, it was relatively unfair.
For example, Luo Yunfei was originally supposed to participate in the Supreme Warrior level competition. Now that he had advanced to the intermediate Martial Master level, he could only participate in the Martial Master level competition. As a result, he was at the bottom.
After another three days, the 'Battle of the Champion' of the current competition was also announced. The eight leaders were successfully selected. After two days, they could enter the palace to receive the King's reward.
During these few days of competition, Luo Ping was not idle. Not only did he have a good chat with his fourth uncle, Luo Mingyu, but he was also pulled over by Guo Xing. The two of them had a good fight.
Of course, Luo Ping deliberately held back, so Guo Xing did not lose miserably. As the saying goes, 'no discord, no concord'. Guo Xing and Luo Ping felt like old friends at first sight. He admired his young and promising talent. Within a few days, the two of them became friends despite the difference in age.
…
In the palace, the King sat on the dragon throne with a smile on his face. He looked at the eight people standing in the middle of the hall and nodded approvingly.
"The eight of you are the winners of the two previous' Battle of the Champion '. You can be said to be the best of the best, the pillars of the country. Men, bring up the reward! "
At Zong Lie's command, several eunuchs carried gold and tokens into the center of the palace and distributed the rewards to the eight people.
In addition to the 100 taels of gold, each of them had a token in their hand. It was the 'Champion's Token' — the symbol of the Champion's identity!
They were the 'Blue Leader's Token' for the Martial Warrior level, the 'Silver Leader's Token' for the Great Martial Warrior level, the 'Purple Leader's Token' for the Martial Master level, and the 'Red Leader's Token' for the Great Martial Master level.
The 'Champion's Token' was not only a symbol of identity, but also a symbol of honor. These young warriors participated in the 'Battle of the Champion' with passion. In addition to the temptation of money and official positions, they were also attracted by the 'Champion's Token'.
'With a token in hand, you have everything you need!'
…
"Brother Luo, I really didn't expect that Father would arrange for the eight leaders to be trained by you. It is their honor! I reckon that their future achievements will be the best of all time. "
