I checked in at the Heavenly Prison: Chapter 214 of "One Step to Godhood": Another Advancement, As Expected of a Big Shot. What the Wang family lacks are rare items such as pills, treasures, martial arts techniques, and even divine weapons. These items are extremely scarce in the martial arts world. Although the Wang family is wealthy and powerful, it is not easy for them to obtain such items.
"Gu Yifeng, now that you've made it to the top eight, I'll give you a gift." Wang Qiming suddenly stood up, took out a golden round token from his pocket, and handed it to Gu Yifeng.
This token is about the size of a baby's fist, and is yellowish-brown in color. It is engraved with an ancient seal script character: "Wan Jian" (万剑).
The Ten Thousand Swords Token is an exclusive token for participants in the Martial Arts Tournament. As long as you hold this token, you can receive a free reward of two thousand catties of spirit stones every year.
When Wang Qiming participated in the martial arts tournament, his father, Wang Qixian, obtained this token for him and gifted him four thousand catties of spirit stones.
After examining the Thousand Swords Token for a while, Gu Yifeng smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Wang. I will accept this gift. However, I cannot accept your gift, as it is a personal gift from you."
“Gu Yifeng, please don’t refuse. If it weren’t for you, I probably wouldn’t have had the chance to come here, let alone receive the reward of 10,000 spirit stones. Consider this my way of repaying you,” Wang Qiming said.
Gu Yifeng pondered for a moment and said, "Alright then, I'll have to trouble you this time, Brother Wang!"
“No trouble at all, no trouble at all…” Wang Qiming quickly shook his head and said, “We’re brothers, why bother with so much nonsense?”
Gu Yifeng said, "By the way, Brother Wang, I have a question I would like to ask you."
"What's your doubt?" Wang Qiming asked.
Gu Yifeng said, "I overheard you talking to that young master of the Zhao family earlier, and you mentioned Jiuyang County. I wonder what kind of place Jiuyang County is, and why I've never heard of it before."
"Hehe, Brother Chen, you're from out of town, aren't you?"
Gu Yifeng nodded and said, "Yes, I'm from out of town."
Wang Qiming said, "No wonder you don't know. Jiuyang County is a county in the easternmost region of the Tianlong World, bordering the Daqian Dynasty. It's about millions of miles away from here, and very few people usually go there."
"Oh, I see!" Gu Yifeng nodded slightly, thinking to himself, 'In the original story, Ye Fan was also forced to return to China.'
"Haha, judging from your expression, Brother Chen seems interested in these things, right?" Wang Qiming asked.
"Hmm." Gu Yifeng nodded again.
Wang Qiming said, "Brother Chen, if you really want to understand these things, I suggest you participate in this martial arts tournament first, and then return to the Tianlong World after the tournament ends."
"Why?" Gu Yifeng raised an eyebrow and asked.
Wang Qiming said, "Because once the martial arts tournament is held, there must be three rounds, each lasting about ten days. Moreover, the rules of these three rounds are different. The second round, which you are currently in, is a free-for-all in the arena. If you want to learn about Jiuyang County, you will probably have to wait until the second round ends in three days. During the competition, it is unlikely that you can return to Jiuyang County."
"I see." Gu Yifeng nodded and continued to ask, "May I ask how many rounds this competition is divided into, Brother Wang?"
Wang Qiming said, "Well, I don't know either. Our martial arts organization has a rule of confidentiality. We only reveal the details of the competition during the competition period."
Gu Yifeng nodded and said, "I see."
"What? Brother Chen, do you want to gather information?" Wang Qiming asked.
Gu Yifeng waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'd better prepare for the martial arts tournament first. Anyway, there are still three days before the tournament starts, which is enough time for me to prepare."
"Haha, alright." Wang Qiming patted Gu Yifeng on the shoulder and laughed, "In that case, I won't keep Brother Chen any longer."
"Farewell!"
Gu Yifeng clasped his hands in a fist salute, turned and walked towards the door. After taking two steps, he stopped and turned back to Wang Qiming, saying, "Brother Wang, you should be careful when participating in this martial arts competition. Don't let yourself be caught off guard and lose to someone from another family."
Wang Qiming laughed and said, "Don't worry, Brother Chen, I've been in seclusion the whole time, practicing the Blood Blade Technique. I'm sure I'll win this time, I definitely won't lose."
Gu Yifeng shook his head, said nothing, and walked out of Wang Qiming's courtyard. He knew that Wang Qiming had definitely not listened to his advice, but Gu Yifeng would not say these words again.
Gu Yifeng knew that no matter what he said, Wang Qiming might not listen unless he could prove that his strength surpassed Wang Qiming's.
After leaving the Wang family mansion, Gu Yifeng returned to the inn. Once back in his room, he sat cross-legged on the bed and took out the Ten Thousand Swords Token to examine it.
The reason he asked Wang Qiming to take back the Ten Thousand Swords Token was because he felt that it was not very useful to him. With the system at his disposal, he could exchange for any kind of cultivation technique or secret manual he wanted, so he didn't need such a low-end item at all.
The reason he asked Wang Qiming to take back the Ten Thousand Swords Token was mainly to see if it would be useful in the martial arts tournament. He felt that it might help him, since it was a gift from Wang Qiming. If Wang Qiming was deliberately trying to harm him, wouldn't that mean he would also suffer?
After Gu Yifeng crushed the Ten Thousand Swords Token, a faint red mist emerged from it, which then transformed into five characters: 'Blood Blade Technique'.
Then the writing slowly faded and eventually disappeared completely, before turning into a ball of light that flew into Gu Yifeng's mind.
Gu Yifeng immediately began to recite the incantation of the Blood Blade Technique. As the incantation flowed, a painful expression appeared on his face, as if he were under immense pressure.
About half an hour later, the pain gradually disappeared, and a look of relief appeared on Gu Yifeng's face. He opened his eyes and murmured, "That's right, it is the Blood Blade Technique. Haha, I have finally mastered it."
A look of delight appeared on his lips. He discovered that the power of his Blood Blade Technique was now more than ten times greater than before.
"As expected of a world of immortals and heroes, this Blood Blade technique is indeed powerful, nearly ten times more powerful than the 'Sky-Splitting Slash' I practiced before."
With a thought, Gu Yifeng unleashed the Blood Blade Technique, instantly filling the entire room with a thick, pungent smell of blood, causing Gu Yifeng's eyes to turn blood red in an instant.
He clenched his fist, and a thin layer of blood-red mist covered his fist. At the same time, he swung his arm and made several moves, and blood mist spread from his fist.
"Haha, so powerful! In this state, my strength has increased by more than five or six times!" Gu Yifeng was overjoyed, his face full of arrogant smiles: "Haha, Gu Yifeng, you will probably never reach my level in your life. My current attack power is comparable to a peak Tiangang Realm martial artist."
"Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in and gained some luck points."
