The Battle of Qingmang will determine Dao Chengyi's future status, and it will also be the most brilliant battle in the slow development that follows, because after this, he will not leave Qingmang City, nor will he leave the Mu family.
He would never set foot in that more prosperous world in the next three or even ten or twenty years of his life. He would only spread the Gu Dao and expand the Blood Wings, until an opportunity arose, an opportunity to have the confidence to dominate the entire Heart Constellation.
He would ignore the storms of the outside world and not compete for those treasures until this opportunity came. He would simply lie low in the green wilderness of the southern frontier, waiting for the day he would molt and emerge as a phoenix.
The Qingmang Tournament was an extremely dazzling event in his youth and even his previous life. There, he wanted to unleash his full potential and crush everything that challenged, despised, or looked down on him.
So... before that, he needed to find a suitable enemy to make him understand what kind of power he could exert, and to remove the external entanglements that might later drag him into the vortex outside of Qingmang City.
"So, I'm not going to hide anymore. What's the point of hiding all this time? I've already been given such powerful abilities, so they're not going to let me live such an ordinary life."
Dao Chengyi had already escaped from the north of the city. The city gates could not stop his Wanwo body at all. In the north of the city, there was a mountain range that was connected to Woniu Mountain, which formed a mountain barrier outside the city walls.
That was a natural barrier for the foreign tribes to fight against Xin Su, and also a rich resource in the eyes of Xin Su, with every mountain peak covered with incredibly dense trees.
Dao Chengyi was currently on one of these hilltops, which was struck by lightning every year during the rainy season and was often set ablaze. Apart from a single tree with two sections that had been tempered by lightning and fire, there was no other lush vegetation to be seen.
"Then I can sincerely invite you to join us, the cult of the Awakened Flesh, the Blood Lotus that restores destiny."
Sword Master also came from the north of the city. He wasn't very interested in the two lackeys of the Fierce Tiger Gang; Dao Chengyi, a powerful awakener of flesh, was enough for him!
"Do you think anyone who understands the true nature of 'restoring meat' would believe that nonsense?"
"Let's get straight to the point and have a fight. Whoever is stronger will naturally be convinced without any reason."
Blood Lotus is undoubtedly the most suitable target. They have been relentlessly pursuing Dao Chengyi, and if this matter is not dealt with, there is no guarantee that even stronger individuals will come from other regions in the future.
"This is my first time handling something like this, so please let me go through the proper procedures. Although the training in Louzhou said that the other party is just listening to these kinds of things, and that the Shark Arms will believe them immediately and relocate as soon as they encounter such an organization."
Sword Incense Master smacked his lips under his mask, seemingly regretting not being able to complete the procedure, so he repeated it again, unwilling to give up.
"Can't you just cooperate with me for a bit? Let me go through this process? If you don't cooperate, I'm leaving right now. I won't even hit you if you want."
The atmosphere is already this strong, and you're still thinking about this? Dao Chengyi's accumulated momentum and the humanistic Gu that were already running wildly in his void dissipated by these words.
If this is also an art of combat, then Dozen Ichi would call this person the worst opponent he has ever faced, regardless of strength!
"Should we give it to them or not?"
"Give it to me or I'm leaving!"
He raised his leg and his inner energy circulated. Without a doubt, if Dao Chengyi answered no, he could indeed flee a hundred miles away as swiftly as a startled rabbit.
"You...read it..."
"That's wonderful! I'll recite it: We, the Blood Lotus, will uphold the destiny of awakened flesh, righteously uphold the compassion of the Medicine Master, overthrow the unjust rule of the Heart Constellation, restore freedom to all people under heaven, and let them enjoy the realm of ultimate bliss..."
"As a chosen one, blessed by the Pharmacist and awakened with extraordinary abilities, I should take pride in being a cultivator, follow the Pharmacist's principles, trace back to the source, head towards the Milky Way, follow the Pharmacist's footsteps, and spread the Pharmacist's teachings..."
"Would you be willing?"
Indeed, there's something special about it. No wonder they insisted on having someone listen to it once. Just by repeatedly reciting the name, Dao Chengyi felt a resonance from the Medicine Master Gu within his body. Undoubtedly, those who awakened the flesh were different from ordinary Medicine Master legacies; they were beings that resonated with the power of the Medicine Master.
"That's well said, but can we start fighting now?"
Dao Chengyi exuded the aura of the Medicine Master Gu, and the Sword Incense Master, who had used the excuse of not being able to remember the long and tedious scriptures, nodded as he watched the scroll move slightly.
"That's how the martial world is. If you help me, then I'll grant your wish. You want to fight? Come on! Let's get this straight: I'm no ordinary martial artist. Don't get beaten up and then hold a grudge against me, or use your power to bully others after you join the organization!"
"Shut up!"
Dao Cheng felt that this person was similar to the Third Young Master. He talked a lot, but he didn't say anything nonsense. It was all a test. So he didn't hold back. He used the Power Gu to double his strength and his Dark Force to increase its destructive power five times. He threw a simple and unadorned punch.
Faced with this punch, the Sword Master's idle chatter finally subsided. Watching the fist, which sounded like thunder and shattered the white miasma, stirring up a wind as sharp as a knife, he also used his inner energy to meet the punch head-on.
The force of their interaction was simultaneously channeled into the ground by their powerful bodies, and layers of explosive dust columns erupted from their bodies.
Dao Chengyi retreated five steps, while Jianxiang Master blocked his path with half a step; the difference in their abilities was clear!
"But I can throw a punch like that with ease, while you need internal energy! So I can hit you!"
The Power Gu amplifies the attack threefold! The Dark Force amplifies it fivefold in normal condition! The Overlapping Wave Fist amplifies it threefold! Although the final effect may not reach forty-five times, with the Power Gu's triple boost, this attack will only be more powerful, stronger, and more explosive than before! Even ten times is definitely achievable!
