Middle Heaven Region, Marquis Luo Tang's residence.
Marquis Luo Tang and his son, Luo Yang, were in a secret room. Beneath them, the runes of the spell formation were glowing.
Luo Yang sat cross-legged at the center of these runes, his eyes closed as he cultivated. Behind him, the image of a leopard was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
This was Luo Yang's dharma idol.
The leopard's claws were three feet long and could break metal and stone. They could break through weapons and were extremely ferocious.
In addition, the leopard dharma idol also gave Luo Yang terrifying speed.
A body cultivator who was famous for his invincible physical body, coupled with a speed comparable to a sword cultivator and a meditation cultivator, was extremely terrifying.
At this moment, a blinding silver light was sweeping out from the Phantom Leopard Dharma Power behind Luo Yang. It was gathering at an incredible speed towards Luo Yang's left palm.
As the silver light continued to gather, Luo Yang's left palm began to swell unconsciously. It was extremely strange.
It was as if something was wriggling in Luo Yang's left palm, trying to break through his skin and grow.
Luo Yang's expression was ferocious. He was in great pain.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! "A low roar came out of his mouth.
Marquis Luo Tang frowned as he looked at Luo Yang. The silver light on the leopard dharma idol was about to fade, but Luo Yang's left palm still showed no change.
"As expected, it still doesn't work …" Marquis Luo Tang muttered. However, he had expected this situation.
His heart skipped a beat, and he flicked his finger. A drop of golden blood flashing with divine light flew towards Luo Yang.
"Open your mouth!" Marquis Luo Tang shouted.
Luo Yang, who was in extreme pain, immediately opened his mouth when he heard his father's voice.
The drop of golden blood flew into Luo Yang's mouth.
Luo Yang began to extract and refine the power of the leopard's true blood.
This was the leopard's true blood, a treasure that Marquis Luo Tang had paid a great price to obtain.
The silver light on Luo Yang's body, which had already dimmed, flared up again after the blood entered his mouth.
This time, the silver light was no longer coming from the leopard dharma idol behind him, but from his body.
With the help of the silver light, the thing that had been hiding in Luo Yang's palm finally broke through the ground.
They were silver scales that continuously appeared on Luo Yang's left palm until they completely covered it. They flashed with a dazzling cold light, as if they contained infinite power.
A terrifying aura emanated from his palm.
This was the true leopard form.
Luo Yang opened his eyes and looked at his palm, his eyes filled with intoxication.
Body cultivators who cultivated Dharma Powers could even transform their bodies into Dharma Powers if they cultivated to the highest level. This was a true beast transformation, and not just a simple Dharma Powers.
At that level, they would be humanoid ferocious beasts with the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.
Of course, with Luo Yang's current cultivation at the late stage of the Void Refinement realm, he couldn't do that. However, to be able to turn one of his palms into a leopard was already extremely terrifying.
This would be his trump card, his greatest trump card.
"That's right." Marquis Luo Tang looked at this scene and slowly nodded. "After cultivating bitterly for more than ten years, with the help of the Serene Leopard's true blood, you have finally been able to transform a palm in advance."
"Thank you, father," Luo Yang said respectfully as he stood up.
The Serene Leopard's true blood was extremely valuable.
"No need," Marquis Luo Tang said darkly. "This time, as long as you can take down Lu Qingshan, Her Highness has said that she will reward you greatly.
You should grasp this opportunity well and not miss it. "
Hearing this, Luo Yang's face instantly flushed red. "I understand."
What kind of person was Her Highness?
She had already said that she would reward him greatly. How could the reward be simple?
Furthermore, after this matter, he might even be able to catch Her Highness's eye and have a promising future!
Luo Yang was extremely excited.
Seeing the expression on his son's face, Marquis Luo Tang understood Luo Yang's thoughts. He warned him in a serious voice, "Don't be careless. Victory is not within your grasp."
Luo Yang was stunned. "That Lu Qingshan is only at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, while I am at the late stage of the Void Refinement realm. Not to mention, I have already transformed my left palm into a leopard. My battle power has increased tremendously. How can I not win?
"That sword cultivator called Lu Qingshan is that strong?"
"I can't be certain of his exact methods, but since he dared to accept the challenge, he definitely has a certain level of confidence. Moreover," Marquis Luo Tang muttered, "Don't forget who his master is …"
"Xia Daoyun's disciple is definitely not simple," Marquis Luo Tang said faintly.
Luo Yang's face turned green and white for a moment. Finally, his expression became serious and he adjusted his attitude. "I understand. Father, don't worry. I will definitely be careful and take him down. I won't embarrass father in front of Her Highness!"
Marquis Luo Tang nodded slightly and didn't say anything else.
Even though he had told Luo Yang to be careful, after careful consideration, he felt that no matter how he looked at it, Lu Qingshan didn't have a chance at victory.
Before Luo Yang had transformed his left palm, he might have had a chance to counterattack. Now that Luo Yao had completed the initial transformation, it would be far too difficult for Lu Qingshan to win.
Transformation was a divine ability that only Soul Formation cultivators could begin to cultivate. Its prestige was boundless!
This was why he wanted to delay the date of the final battle to three months later.
He didn't want to give Lu Qingshan any chance of winning.
.....
As the date of the final battle approached, the discussions in the world became more and more intense.
"A late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator challenging a late-stage Void Refinement cultivator. This kind of battle actually exists?"
"If Lu Qingshan were to win this battle, wouldn't he be able to rise from the current 95th place to the top three of the Huang Ranking?
He has only been on the Yellow Board for less than three months. If he can really do this, he will be the person who has risen the fastest in the history of the Yellow Board! "
"Eh, if that's the case, with Lu Qingshan's record of killing the Tenth Origin True Venerable, he should be able to rise a few dozen places on the Yellow Board. Why didn't his ranking change when the Yellow Board was updated this time?" Someone didn't understand.
"It should be because Lu Qingshan killed the Tenth Origin True Venerable. The specific circumstances are unknown.
Just like the origin of this battle, the Heavenly Secrets Temple can't be sure whether he used his own strength to kill the Tenth Origin True Venerable who 'actively' attacked him or used some other method to trap and kill the Tenth Origin True Venerable before slandering him.
Therefore, without knowing the truth, the Heavenly Secrets Temple can't directly treat this as his battle record. "Someone saw through the reason with a single glance.
"However, I don't know if you've noticed that Lu Qingshan is the champion of the Seven Regions Dao Discussion?"
"I know. The Seven Regions Dao Discussion is such a grand event, and it has only been a year. Who would forget about it?"
"Then don't forget what his cultivation base was last year and what his cultivation base is now …"
"What was his cultivation base last year? Wasn't it the late-stage Golden Elixir? Now he's late-stage Nascent Soul …
F * ck! This f * cking … "
The discussions came to an abrupt end.
Because the onlookers were beginning to doubt their lives.
This seemingly illogical duel became more and more heated under the influence of some people with ulterior motives.
The reason behind this was also revealed without a doubt.
The outside world had already begun to debate whether Lu Qingshan had killed the Tenth Origin True Venerate with his own strength, and whether he or Luo Yang had won.
Some people believed in Lu Qingshan's strength. After all, he was a peerless prodigy who had walked out of the Seven Regions Dao Discussion. It was possible that his battle prowess was extraordinary.
However, more people were inclined to believe that there were other reasons behind the Tenth Origin True Venerate's death.
The reason was very simple — Lu Qingshan's cultivation base had advanced too quickly!
In a year, he had gone from the late-stage Golden Elixir to the late-stage Nascent Soul.
If it weren't for the fact that the truth was right in front of their eyes, they wouldn't have believed that such a ridiculous thing could happen in the world.
Since it was already so ridiculous, the onlookers expected that Lu Qingshan must have spent the past year on cultivation and had no time to take care of other things, such as cultivation of spells and sword skills.
It could be seen that his current techniques were the techniques that he had mastered when he was in the late-stage Golden Elixir. They were the Heaven Suppressing Secret Sword and the Massacre Sword Intent.
This was the strongest evidence to support their point of view.
Moreover, Lu Qingshan had only been in the late-stage Nascent Soul for a year. Even if he could take care of other things, how much could he have accumulated?
It was a very reasonable judgment.
It was no wonder that Marquis Luo Tang used this as an opening to pressure Lu Qingshan.
As for the outcome, there was no doubt that Luo Yang had the advantage on the surface.
Everyone knew the difference between the Nascent Soul and the Void Refinement realm. This was an undeniable fact.
.....
Finally, three months had passed. The day of the final battle had arrived!
Middle Heaven Region, Hidden Sun City's teleportation formation.
Two figures appeared. Both of them had slender figures. Then, one after the other, they walked out of the teleportation formation.
"The Martial Arts Hall and our Sword Sect are both Dao Sects. They pay great attention to the cultivation of their disciples' battle prowess.
The Martial Arts Hall was established for this purpose. "Xia Daoyun glanced at Lu Qingshan behind her and introduced softly.
Lu Qingshan nodded.
Xia Daoyun only knew that he came from a small city in the Southern Region's Azure Province. She thought that he didn't know much about the secrets of the cultivation world, which was why she introduced him like this.
He had come from a small place.
However, as a Realm Seven Sword Cultivator in his previous life, he was quite knowledgeable.
There were a total of thirty-six Martial Arts Halls in the seven regions of the human race. They were ancient products that had been established before the Martial Arts Hall became a Dao Sect.
The thirty-six Martial Arts Halls were named after the thirty-six Heavenly Stars. Most of them were concentrated in the Middle Martial Region, where the Martial Arts Hall was located.
In the Middle Heaven Region, there was only one Martial Arts Hall in Hidden Sun City.
When the Martial Arts Hall was first established, it had a challenge arena that was comparable to a magic artifact.
The Martial Arts Hall had its own disciples take on the role of Hall Master and Hall Guardian. Any cultivator in the world could enter the Hall and challenge the Martial Arts Hall disciples.
Once the challenge was successful, the cultivator would be able to select a divine ability or spell from the disciple of the Martial Arts Hall that he defeated and obtain the secret manual.
Of course, if the challenge failed, the Martial Arts Hall disciple would also choose a technique from the challenger's technique and force them to hand over their secret manual.
The Martial Arts Hall's actions were first to temper their disciples' battle skills, and second to achieve their goal of "obtaining all the techniques in the world."
Although the Martial Arts Hall back then wasn't a Dao Sect, it was still a well-known large sect.
For such a powerful sect, the techniques that its disciples cultivated were definitely extremely powerful and precious.
The world was bustling with activity for profit, and the world was bustling with activity for profit.
Because of this temptation, the number of cultivators who came to challenge them was overwhelming.
Since the Martial Arts Hall dared to establish the Martial Arts Hall, they naturally had some confidence.
In most cases, it was the disciples of the Martial Arts Hall who won.
This continued for hundreds and thousands of years. By relying on the Martial Arts Hall, the Martial Arts Hall managed to accumulate the most techniques, becoming the sect that stored the most techniques out of all the sects in the world.
This was in line with their sect's name, the "Martial Arts Hall."
Of course, this was not without its drawbacks.
There were wins and losses. Although the Martial Arts Hall disciples lost very few times, it was still there, and they couldn't avoid handing over the sect's secret techniques that they cultivated.
If the sect's secret techniques were leaked out, wouldn't others have ways to counter it?
Regarding this problem, the Martial Arts Hall solved it in a very ingenious way.
They constantly absorbed the newly obtained techniques and techniques, taking the essence and discarding the dregs to supplement the sect's secret techniques, allowing their disciples to freely choose and cultivate according to their wishes.
There were ways to counter one secret technique, and there were also ways to counter ten secret techniques. However, when the number of secret techniques in the Martial Arts Hall reached a hundred, or even a thousand, how could you counter it?
And Meditation Cultivation was the most complicated sect among the six major cultivation sects.
During the "Nine Heavens" era, there were even players who jokingly called Meditation Cultivators "Miscellaneous Cultivators."
They had no taboos and would practice any technique that suited them. Hence, there was the saying, "There are no two Meditation Cultivators that are the same in the world."
With hundreds and thousands of sect's secret techniques being freely combined by these Meditation Cultivators, how many possibilities were there?
Although the cultivators had never learned "Permutation and Combination," they knew that this was an extremely terrifying number.
The Seven Major Dao Sects were called Dao Sects because which one of them was simple?
As for why Marquis Luo Tang would choose the location of the battle to be in the Martial Arts Hall of the Martial Arts Hall, it had to be mentioned about the future development of the Martial Arts Hall.
The Martial Arts Hall gradually became the symbol of the Martial Arts Hall.
The Martial Arts Hall also put more effort into the construction of the Martial Arts Hall. The battle arena was constantly being repaired and rebuilt, and it became recognized by the cultivators as the most perfect place to battle.
In this battle between Lu Qingshan and Luo Yang, both sides had huge figures behind them.
Whether it was in the Sword Sect or the Da Xia Kingdom, the location of the battle was not suitable. Instead, it was most suitable to place it in the Martial Arts Hall of the Martial Arts Hall.
At least on this point, Marquis Luo Tang did not have any faults.
.....
"Heavenly Crime" Martial Arts Hall.
The entire Martial Arts Hall was like a colosseum in the shape of a cylinder.
In the center was an arena built using a mustard seed spell. Beside it were many spectator seats with distinct levels.
At a glance, the spectator seats of the Martial Arts Hall were already filled with a huge black mass of people.
The battle between a disciple of the Sword Sect and a son of the Marquis of the Da Xia Kingdom was very interesting. Whether it was a busybody or a schemer, everyone was paying close attention to this battle.
Everyone was looking forward to it.
"He's here. That's Luo Yang!" someone exclaimed softly.
At this moment, two male cultivators slowly entered the Martial Arts Hall.
The one on the left was extremely boorish and was in stark contrast to the handsome male cultivator on the right.
"Which one is Luo Yang?" a pure cultivator asked curiously.
"The good-looking one is Luo Yang's father, Marquis Luo Tang," a knowledgeable female cultivator said softly. "The ugly one is Luo Yang."
“.....”
The "ugly man" Luo Yang was burly and strong. He walked with a majestic gait, his black hair flowing freely. Step by step, he was full of vigor. Finally, he walked to the front of the arena and waited quietly.
"Looking closely, this Luo Yang doesn't seem so ugly anymore," the female cultivator from before muttered softly.
"Indeed, although Luo Yang's appearance is a bit rough, when combined with his aura, he has a kind of masculine beauty," a body cultivator said from the side. "A strong physical body is the most beautiful!"
As he spoke, the Body Cultivator intentionally or unintentionally bulged his muscles for the female cultivator to see.
"That makes sense." The female cultivator looked at Luo Yang and did not notice the Body Cultivator's muscles. She nodded slightly.
"…"
Marquis Luo Tang followed Luo Yang into the Martial Arts Hall. After Luo Yang was ready, Marquis Luo Tang leaped up and went to the highest point of the spectator seats.
There, a few cultivators with relaxed expressions and restrained auras were chatting.
These people were all cultivators of the Da Xia Kingdom.
Most of them were neutral. They did not belong to Xia Daojing's faction, nor did they belong to Xia Daoyun's faction.
In fact, in the Da Xia Kingdom, these neutral cultivators were the most numerous.
If he could suppress Xia Daoyun's reputation in these people's hearts, or even make them criticize Xia Daoyun, that was what he wanted to see the most.
As long as it was proven that Lu Qingshan had killed the Da Xia Kingdom's Tenth Origin True Venerable and dragged Xia Daoyun down with him, these neutral Da Xia Kingdom cultivators would definitely feel some disgust towards Xia Daoyun!
This was his wishful thinking.
Marquis Luo Tang only greeted the crowd. He didn't try to show off, as that would only annoy them.
Even if he wanted to make friends, he would have to wait until Luo Yang won. That would be the best time.
…
One of the main characters of this grand occasion had already arrived. Everyone was waiting for the other one to enter.
Lu Qingshan didn't make them wait for too long.
Even though letting Luo Yang wait a bit longer might cause him to become restless and impatient during the battle, Luo Yang was still a bit hesitant.
However, he disdained to use this kind of small trick to suppress Luo Yang.
There was no need for a mere Luo Yang.
"Lu Qingshan has also arrived!" someone suddenly shouted.
Whoosh!
A streak of light appeared. Then, the streak of light receded, revealing a handsome male cultivator with an elegant and spirited aura.
It was Lu Qingshan.
He walked up to the stage with steady and vigorous steps, facing the tall and sturdy Luo Yang.
"Let's take a closer look. This Luo Yang …" It was the same female cultivator from before. She stared at the two people in front of the stage. After carefully comparing them, she nodded and said with certainty, "He's still a bit ugly."
