Vehicles entered the interior of the Martial Arts Center.

The deafening music made one's scalp tingle even more.

Each team had its own exclusive rest area.

Because their opponent forfeited, the Long Xu School didn't need to compete today, so they simply watched the opening ceremony performance from the sidelines, waiting for the official competition to begin at noon.

On the arena, a large number of staff members in mascot costumes began performing dances in the middle of the field.

The general audience had mostly taken their seats, and floating platforms and airships were in position. The windows of the VIP rooms above were open, and people from the great noble families and the royal family had already entered, waiting for the start.

Huge fireworks shot into the sky from time to time, exploding and forming various patterns and words.

"Our Southern Division has more than a hundred participating teams. Based on previous rankings, the strongest and most noteworthy schools are these..."

Yu Long, not knowing where he got the internal information, was explaining it to Zhuang Yijing and the other two.

"We're here this time mainly to let Xiao Jing experience the atmosphere of the competition. If you sense anything is wrong, remember to admit defeat immediately."

Yu Long had basically resigned himself to fate.

Although he felt some regret, after careful consideration, he decided to prioritize the personal safety of his disciples.

The school being deregistered and the benefits being canceled, although extremely reluctant... there was nothing he could do.

While explaining, he glanced at Li Cheng颐 on the side.

This guy didn't say anything...

"Teacher, are you worried?" Li Cheng頤, who was watching the scene, stood in front and said without turning his head.

"It's good that you're not participating... with your personality, I'm afraid you'll cause some trouble." Yu Long said in a deep voice.

"..." Li Cheng頤 smiled without saying a word.

Here, he could ambush the opponent's team outside the arena, and let Li Changgu cover him when he escaped, enough to escort Li Chongnan to the final.

So for him, whether he participated or not was not important. After all, the identity of a "dead-ender" (sijiaoren) couldn't maximize benefits.

"If the Long Xu School is deregistered this time, it doesn't matter if you want to be the school leader or not." Yu Long sighed.

"It won't happen. I believe in Xiao Nan." Li Cheng頤 said.

"..." Yu Long looked at Li Chongnan, who was closing his eyes to rest, this guy's tone was ridiculously arrogant. He thought his master was arrogant enough, but he didn't expect there to be someone even more arrogant.

His mood was extremely conflicted at this moment.

If the school couldn't get into the top 100, it would have to be deregistered and disbanded. He couldn't bear to disband it, after all, it was the result of his hard work for many years.

The only way now was for Li Cheng颐 to participate.

But... Li Cheng颐's extreme personality he had shown before made him worry.

Extreme, a dead-ender (sijiaoren), extremely strong martial arts.

These three points combined made it very easy to make enemies in this competition.

This society was no longer like ancient times, where fighting skills could determine everything.

The destructive power of various hot weapons far exceeded fighting skills. No matter how good you were at fighting, you couldn't compete with the real military experts. A random flying instrument (feiyi) could teach you a lesson.

So...

Yu Long sighed deeply.

He stopped looking at Li Cheng颐.

"Looking at the rankings from the last competition in the Southern Division, the strongest are the Nuclear Fission Palm, Bullet Orbit Fist, Yunfeng School, and the Smoke Control Flying Cloud Dao. Of course, these are the strongest, just for you to see. What we need to pay attention to is our next opponent, the Mind Mixed Yuan School, which ranked ninety-seventh last time."

"This team's background is from the Chen Family Village in the west of the Southern Region. The leader is the current leader of the Mixed Yuan School, Chen Zhongda. The Mixed Yuan School's fighting techniques are mainly Mind Power (Xinyi Gong) and Mixed Yuan Power (Hun Yuan Gong). Chen Zhongda practices Mixed Yuan Power and has reached the fourth level, only two levels away from the sixth level of completion. However, Mixed Yuan Power is known for its powerful bursts, although its power is great, it has a fatal flaw..."

Yu Long began to analyze the opponent's weaknesses and how to deal with them for the three of them.

Li Cheng颐 was too lazy to listen to this. He had agreed with Yu Long that he could inherit the position of school leader if he reached the Dragon Realm, so after scanning the teams present and confirming that there were no noteworthy opponents, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but was actually practicing Dragon Whisker Power (Long Xu Li).

The four major realms of Dragon Whisker Power (Long Xu Li) are actually very simple.

First, divide the chaotic crude force into many thin strands of Qi.

Then refine the Qi in it and remove the impure Qi.

Then fuse the pure Qi again and turn it into pure force, which is the Force Realm. That is the level Li Cheng颐 is at now.

Next, the pure force needs to be transformed into whiskers again. In the form of whiskers, gather one dragon cave after another in the body.

After a certain number of dragon caves are gathered, they will automatically connect to form the so-called Dragon Vein.

Once the Dragon Vein is formed, it is the starting point for opening the true Dragon Realm.

This is the ultimate goal pursued by the Long Xu School.

Li Cheng頤 had previously focused all his attention on the Evil Flower (E Zhi Hua) and didn't have time to practice this.

But now that he had a need, he might as well work a little harder.

He closed his eyes, moved his muscles, and subdivided the purified force into new, thinner strands of power.

This is whisker transformation (xu hua).

For others, this step is very difficult and requires a high degree of control over mental precision.

But for Li Cheng颐, his powerful mental willpower and exaggerated physical strength and endurance allowed him to easily reach the minimum standard for the whisker transformation stage.

The standard given by Yu Long was that 99 dragon whiskers had to be separated to meet the condition.

But Li Cheng颐 had separated thousands of dragon whiskers from the power in his body after standing for about half an hour.

The Flower Scale Clothing (Hua Lin Yi), the Shadow Dragon bloodline, and the enhancement and strengthening brought by the Flower Language Pearl (Hua Yu Zhu) from others allowed his consciousness to completely surpass any human being.

In addition, with the continuous recovery of the Radiance Force Field (Guanghui Lichang), even if the separation failed, the damage to himself could be quickly healed.

Unlike Yu Long back then, who had to rest for several days after failing before he could try again.

In just half an hour.

The Whisker Realm (Xu Jing) of Dragon Whisker Power (Long Xu Li) was completely completed.

After reaching this step, there was no change in Li Cheng頤's strength.

The improvement of the Whisker Realm (Xu Jing) lies in close combat, which can make people unable to resist or defend.

But that was only when not wearing an exoskeleton. Who would fight without wearing protection these days?

In fact, the Whisker Realm (Xu Jing)'s help to Li Cheng頤 was more in refining the control of power and identifying his own body structure.

There was not much other value.

This was also why he was too lazy to practice Dragon Whisker Power (Long Xu Li).

What others might need several years to practice the Whisker Realm (Xu Jing), he only needed half an hour.

'Next, is the most critical Dragon Realm.'

The Dragon Realm needs to condense nine dragon caves first, and then connect the dragon caves into a dragon vein.

There is a specific dragon cave map for this.

But Li Cheng颐 didn't ask Yu Long for it.

Because his current body structure was already different from ordinary people, and the previous dragon cave map was useless to him.

He needed to explore the dragon caves on his own.

Whoa!!

Suddenly, a burst of loud cheers came from a distance, interrupting his thoughts.

Li Chongnan and Yu Long and others looked up at the cylindrical screen for the broadcast.

The floating screen was playing the replay of the winner just now.

A black-skinned, ugly and ferocious black-haired man, like a door god, was swinging his right arm at a middle-aged man who was rushing towards him.

Bang!!

High-speed slow motion.

The black-haired man had a cold expression. The moment his right arm was swung, his forearm suddenly swelled and became larger, covered with countless purple blood vessels.

This swing hit the middle-aged man's right fist.

As the two hands intersected, there was a crisp crack, and the middle-aged man's arm broke on the spot, and he was also knocked away by the huge force, hitting the force field barrier of the arena, splashing a blood flower.

"Trash." The black-haired man showed a bored expression and turned to leave.

The background identity and the fighting style practiced were displayed below the big screen.

'Sea Shark, 32 years old, leader of the Subduing Demon Vajra School, specializes in Subduing Demon Vajra Hand. Talent: Innate Divine Power. Record: 1 win, 0 losses. Fastest winning record: 0 hours, 0 minutes, 4 seconds. Group: 17.'

".This guy is a bit interesting." Li Cheng頤's eyes moved slightly.

He could see that this person was hiding a lot of strength, but looking at his group, it was unlikely that they would meet in a short time.

Because he was the fastest winner, this martial artist named Sea Shark was recommended to be on the big screen for promotion.

For real martial artists, this was undoubtedly an excellent way to promote, and it would bring great benefits to the school and to themselves.

But for the Humpback Whale, who was disguised as Sea Shark, his goal was first place, and then to kill Prince Zhou Shuo.

All other rankings were vanity.

Soon the screen flickered to other scenes, and Li Cheng颐 withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes to condense dragon caves with dragon whiskers.

He had a Radiance Force Field (Guanghui Lichang), a Radiance Force Field (Guanghui Lichang) that had evolved to the extreme, with extremely strong healing effects. Any loss could be quickly compensated.

So he simply kept trying to condense dragon caves in his body according to the cultivation methods provided by Yu Long.

The sign of successful condensation of a dragon cave was that after success, it would not affect the flow of Qi and blood, nor would it affect the operation of nerves. There would be a subtle tingling sensation when completed.

With this sign, Li Cheng颐 had successfully condensed and found more than 70 locations by the time he left in the evening.

According to the cultivation method given by Yu Long, there are only nine real dragon caves. These correspond to the three Dantian (energy centers) in the upper, middle and lower parts of the body. And form a linked balance.

So next, what he needed to do was to find the real dragon caves from these fake dragon caves.

The next morning.

After getting up and washing in the Martial Arts Center, the group began to prepare for their second game.

There was no appearance ceremony for the preliminary selection.

Confirm the arena grouping area, then bring people in, the machine referee enters, and the force field barrier is turned on to prevent injury to the audience.

Before entering, Li Cheng颐 looked at Li Chongnan.

"From now on, you need to start accumulating momentum."

The most important point in the Sacred Spirit Art (Sheng Ling Gong) lies in the idea of will.

The stronger the will, the stronger the power, the higher the water rises, and the more external force can be absorbed. The Wisdom Sword (Hui Jian) will naturally be stronger.

"I understand!" Li Chongnan nodded.

Turning around, she followed the other two onto the arena isolation area.

"Next, it's Group 19's Long Xu School, against the Mind Mixed Yuan School!"

The grouping commentator said loudly.

The game started quickly.

Like the Long Xu School, the Mind Mixed Yuan School also initially sent out unremarkable disciples to fight with Yu Yanxiao and the other rookie.

One punch and one punch, they fought in many styles, but the power and speed were far from those of real masters.

After a chaotic battle, Yu Yanxiao seized a flaw and kicked her off the stage with a burst of gentle Qi.

Yu Yanxiao's physical fitness has not reached the human limit at all, and the realm is Qi. The maximum output is only about five or six hundred kilograms, which is not as good as the current Zhuang Yijing.

In the second game, she was physically exhausted and voluntarily stepped down, replacing Zhuang Yijing.

Zhuang Yijing's second opponent from the Mind Mixed Yuan School was an elderly middle-aged woman.

After the two clasped their fists to each other, they struck a pose.

Drink!

Zhuang Yijing took the lead, running forward and thrusting out a palm.

The piercing sound of the air being torn startled her opponent. She quickly raised her hand to block.

But as soon as they made contact, she felt a strong force that made her body unsteady.

She almost didn't catch the first blow.

Immediately, the two simultaneously exploded with gentle Qi.

Those who can get on this arena are all masters of gentle Qi in martial arts schools. At this time, the two women fought, and the forces collided, making a muffled sound, which was much stronger than Yu Yanxiao before.

"Xiao Jing... has also entered the Force Realm?" Li Cheng颐 said in surprise, he saw Zhuang Yijing's progress.

"Not bad! This is also why I brought her to participate. Otherwise, I really wouldn't dare to if there was any mistake..." Yu Long nodded in praise.

"Very good... perhaps it can be resolved without Xiao Nan taking action." Li Cheng頤 nodded slightly.
