Chapter 399 The Battle for Quotas
Wu Dongxiao's strength has indeed improved.
And he is demonstrating his strength—on the stage where he is competing for a spot.
On the flat stone ground, a large amount of flames surged and swept. Wu Dongxiao held the Black Dragon Halberd and swept it horizontally, hitting his opponent's companion treasure with extremely terrifying speed and a very tricky angle.
The power was immense, and black flames coiled upwards along the halberd—the temperature of the flames was at least ten times higher than that of other fire-attribute cultivators at this level!
It was no ordinary flame.
It is by no means easy to extinguish—if one is truly entangled with it, one will likely suffer at least a serious injury!
Moreover, the flames will be very difficult to dispel, and without the corresponding elixirs, the consequences will be even more dire.
Wu Dongxiao's opponent retreated rapidly, but the flames rushed forward at an even faster speed, transforming into thick fire ropes that surrounded him from all directions.
Seeing that the temperature was almost burning his eyebrows, his opponent had no choice but to admit defeat.
Thus, Wu Dongxiao won another match.

Yes, in the month or so that Xuan Bing had been traveling, Wu Dongxiao successfully entered the sect and registered. Then he began to accept various tasks issued by the Danwu Sky Screen to earn martial arts points, and then went to the training ground in the War God Hall to hone himself.
His skills are also improving little by little.
Many of his fellow disciples actually wanted to challenge him, but because he had already signed up for the battle for a spot, they couldn't very well challenge him in advance, as if they wanted to uncover all of his fighting strategies.
They saved the challenge for when they were competing for a spot.
Any disciple of the War God Temple with sufficient strength, unless they are in seclusion, would not give up this opportunity to compete for a spot.
·
During this period, Sang Yunchu continued to exchange ideas with other level-eight alchemists.
It hasn't stopped yet.
This is not surprising. After all, it takes at least seven or eight days to refine a single batch of level eight pills. Since they are researching alchemy, they cannot possibly finish after refining only one batch.
If nothing unexpected happens, it's quite normal for this gathering of alchemists to take several months, a year or two, or even longer.

Jiang Chongguang was handling affairs related to the new palace, making sure everything that needed to be arranged was in place.
After the new hall is opened, the main hall of the War God Temple will allocate some resources, which Jiang Chongguang will register and store, keeping the key for himself.
Currently, the cultivators he recruits are all at the late stage of the Spirit Transformation realm.
The cultivators who built palaces were all at the peak of the palace-building stage—it was those ten special silver-armored soldiers who managed to get in, not even a single outsider could squeeze in.
The rest are cultivators who have merged into various minor realms.
Jiang Chongguang hasn't appointed a deputy hall master yet. He's just having the two Spirit Transformation cultivators handle things for now, essentially observing them before deciding on a suitable candidate to assist him. However, they're not irreplaceable. Even though there are few Spirit Transformation cultivators now, he'll allocate a lot of resources to those at the peak of the Palace Establishment stage. If any one of them successfully transforms into a Spirit Transformation cultivator, even if it's just at the early stage, they can join the competition for the deputy hall master position.
Naturally, the spiritual cultivators also worked diligently and conscientiously.
Now, the ten peak Palace Constructing cultivators each manage ten Fusion cultivators, completing their orders or other tasks.
In addition, Jiang Chongguang selected two steward disciples each from the disciples of the Palace Building and the Fusion Sect. These steward disciples had more responsibilities than ordinary disciples and were required to obey orders whenever summoned by the main hall.
Disciples at different levels and handling different affairs receive their monthly stipends according to the sect's rules, but privately they receive subsidies under the guise of "rewards" to encourage them to cultivate diligently and acquire more resources from the branch halls as soon as possible.

On the "Forum" stage in Danwu Sky Screen.
[Discussion] Has anyone seen Dongxiao's battle? What are the opinions of his senior brothers and sisters on his fighting style?
The post received countless replies.
[Slaying Through the Nine Heavens: Don't even mention it! Here comes my defeated foe, and I lost spectacularly, almost burning to death before I could even last ten rounds!]
[Martial Arts World: I'm the one who lost too! I'm a little stronger than the person upstairs; I lasted about ten rounds.]
[Battle Through the Clouds: Tsk! I lost too!]
[Explosive Commentary: Hahaha! The guy upstairs isn't saying much because he was super confident before the fight, but he only lasted three rounds before being kicked off the stage! Now he's really losing face!]
[Battle Through the Heavens: My cultivation level is higher than his, and I've never fought him, but he seems to be invincible right now?]
[Battle Through the Heavens: Didn't you watch the arena battle?]
[Battle Through the Heavens: I made a minor breakthrough, but didn't have time to go into seclusion.]
[Battle Through the Heavens: Congratulations! Junior Brother Dong Xiao is truly invincible, absolutely invincible! He's fought over a hundred matches without a single break, sweeping away every opponent who stepped onto the stage! He's definitely a top-ranked Dou Wang! I think I'm seeing another Junior Brother Wu!]
[Exploding and exploding: Junior Brother Dongxiao was originally Junior Brother Wu, hahaha!]
[Battle Through the Sky: Junior Brother Dongxiao's foundation is also very solid. And now, over a hundred matches is considered a deficit; he's over two hundred and still on a winning streak! However, in his last match, he encountered Junior Brother Lin, who is also a friend of Junior Brother Huo. He expended a lot of energy winning that match and is finally able to rest.]
[Battle Through the Heavens: I know that Junior Brother Lin! Junior Brother Lin's strength is comparable to the bottom of the fifth-level Sky Ranking, he just hasn't made it onto the list yet. He unleashed a series of powerful secret techniques in front of Junior Brother Dong Xiao, and Junior Brother Dong Xiao gave him face by using several of his own secret techniques in return, which is why he exhausted himself...]
[Battle Through the Heavens: In short, Junior Brother Dongxiao's strength is arguably the strongest among the fusion cultivators of our War God Hall! Our War God Hall has gained a powerful new general!]
[Battle Through the Heavens...]

Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan stayed on the main peak of the Qian Yuan branch, leaning on each other as they browsed the lively "forum" on the Danwu Sky Curtain.
This branch of the Qian Yuan lineage was the land gifted by Sang Yunchu, and now a residence has been built there that provides a very comfortable living space for the two of them.
They weren't very good at naming things, so they just used the name of Qian Yuan Island directly—the branch is called Qian Yuan, and the main peak is also called Qian Yuan.
When Zhong Cai becomes a seventh-level Pill King, he will be able to directly call himself a "Junior Elder" because of this branch, which can be called a small mountain range. When he becomes an eighth-level Pill Emperor, he will be able to choose another large mountain range within the sect.
The mountain peak that Jiang Chongguang gave them was named Caixia Second Peak by Zhong Cai.
It's very casual.
But it's more convenient.
·
After browsing through numerous forum posts, Zhong Cai couldn't help but smile as he looked at the screen full of praise for Dong Xiao.
Although they didn't spend much time together, Wu Dongxiao was indeed mainly taught by him and Old Wu. Of course, Xuan Bing and Sang Jiang were also mentors. However, Wu Dongxiao's alchemy skills were clearly influenced by him more, while his combat strategies drew heavily on Old Wu's ideas.
Now that Wu Dongxiao is being praised so much, Zhong Cai is still a little proud.
In his early years, he never thought about raising this kid, and later he did indeed let him grow up freely. As the protagonist, he believed that the kid was definitely more well-rounded in personality and had a higher combat power than the one in the original book.
After refreshing the page a few times, Zhong Cai left the section.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Old Wu, shouldn't we sell the Thundercloud Dew to the sect as soon as possible?"
Wu Shaogan looked down at him: "Didn't we say we'd find a suitable opportunity?"
Zhong Cai cleared her throat: "Give it to me sooner so I can feel at ease. I'm afraid I'll forget about it after a while."
·
Actually, I have forgotten a bit.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhong and Wu recently visited the Land of All Beings and were deeply moved by the numerous comments left by human cultivators, they would have...
After the auction, they did expect that cultivators would come to inquire, but they had been busy taking care of their master's nephew and forgot about it.
And now, I've only just remembered.
They sold the few dozen drops of Thundercloud Dew they had reserved to a swordsman they were somewhat familiar with, and then came out again.
·
Wu Shaogan, knowing Zhong Cai's personality, laughed and said, "She is indeed easy to forget."
Zhong Cai chuckled: "I plan to hand it over through Palace Master Lou."
Wu Shaogan asked, "What's the excuse?"
Zhong Cai thought for a moment: "If they ask, we'll say that we once excavated the ruins and took a lot of things with us, but the ruins collapsed before we could even identify what type they were." He pondered for a moment, "We recently gathered some resources and found this thing. We feel it's too hot to handle, so we want to sell it to the sect as soon as possible."
Wu Shaogan nodded and said, "Let's leave it at that. Given Lord Lou's personality, he certainly won't delve into the details."
·
Lou Chuan indeed did not investigate the matter thoroughly.
From receiving the message from the Sky Curtain and checking its contents, he temporarily put aside his work and rushed here as quickly as possible.
Of course, he chose to come in "silent" to avoid disturbing others.
As soon as Lou Chuan entered the Zhong and Wu couple's residence, he discovered that the defensive array had been activated.
Then, he saw the two bottles of Thundercloud Dew.
Each bottle contains a full two hundred drops!
It should be able to withstand at least the second Heavenly Tribulation without any problems.
Such a treasure was actually made by two young people.
These two juniors voluntarily agreed to sell themselves to the sect.
After bringing their own prepared aids, Sect Leader Ji and Palace Master Pei were able to get through this safely.
