Fortunately, I have a strong mind and am not tempted by inferior means.
Otherwise, I would have really fallen into your trap.
Li Siyuan decided to squeeze out every last bit of value from the other party and then kill him.
Grabbing the dying elder who had suffered the backlash, Li Siyuan strode away.
Before leaving, he shouted in the direction where the dragon disappeared: "Come out and clean up the battlefield."
…
The emergence of the spiritual vein caused a huge commotion.
Of course, it was not only the Shentu family who broke into the palace, but the others were stopped by Zhou Jing and his men.
Even so.
News of the birth of the spiritual vein.
It is also spreading at an alarming speed.
The world was shocked.
The abandoned land is in turmoil.
The imperial city of the Great Zhou Kingdom once again became the focus of the abandoned land.
A place where winds and clouds gather.
However, Li Siyuan had no awareness of becoming the focus. He still signed in and punched in as usual, took drugs and practiced, complained about the low-key system when he was in a bad mood, and fought against Longying.
Time passes by unknowingly.
This day.
The much anticipated martial arts competition has finally arrived.
early morning.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A melodious bell sounded from the palace.
The bell sounds like waves.
It spread to every corner of the imperial city.
Outside the palace gate.
It brings together countless masters from all sides of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Among these people, there were city lords, leaders of small factions, masters of martial arts schools, and patriarchs of aristocratic families...
There are also some well-known independent martial artists in the Great Zhou Kingdom.
"Master Shen, you have come all the way here!"
"And Lei Qianren, known as the Eight-Armed Dragon King, is here too."
"The martial arts competition held every three years by the royal family is a top priority for the Great Zhou Kingdom. No matter how busy I am, I can't miss it. So, I brought a few disciples to try their luck."
"This time, the royal family's rewards are much more generous than before. Anyone who can make it into the top 100 will receive a substantial reward. The top 30 will receive spirit stones and martial arts rewards. The top 10 are even more incredible. It is said that they can enter the palace's spiritual veins to cultivate for a month."
"Excuse me for a moment~"
"If you have something to say, say it quickly."
"Hmm~ What I want to ask is, is the news of the emergence of a spiritual vein in the palace reliable?"
"Of course it's reliable. I witnessed it with my own eyes ten days ago. It was a scene I've never seen before. And haven't you noticed that the Imperial City is different from other places?"
"Hearing you say that, I really feel that the Imperial City is different from other places. The concentration of spiritual energy is far beyond what other places can compare to."
"This is one of the benefits of the spiritual vein. We're still far away from it, but the spiritual energy is so rich. If we were to cultivate on top of it, our cultivation progress would be unimaginable. It would be at least dozens or even hundreds of times faster than in the outside world. Tsk tsk! Practicing on the spiritual vein for a month can save us at least several years..."
When people were gathered in groups of three or four to chat, there was suddenly a commotion at the back of the crowd.
The next moment.
The crowd made way for a passage.
A group of people strode over.
The leader was a big man with a thick beard.
Next to the big man, there was a young boy of about sixteen or seventeen years old. The boy walked with steady steps, a firm gaze, and a defiant look between his brows that was hard to hide.
Someone in the crowd murmured in confusion, "Who is this? He looks like someone quite important."
The people beside him immediately cast a disdainful look at him, "You don't even know this person? Are you still a warrior of the Great Zhou Kingdom?"
The man was not annoyed at all. "Then tell me where these people came from."
"They come from quite a prominent family, the Lin family of Qianluo City."
"Hiss~ Turns out he's from the Lin family of Qianluo City, one of the eight great families of the Great Zhou Kingdom."
"It's said that in recent years, Qianluo City has produced a young genius, Lin Yan, who broke through to the realm of Martial Saint at the age of sixteen... In my opinion, the first place in this martial arts competition must go to Lin Yan..."
"It's too early to say that now. From what I understand, the Gongsun, Dongfang, Xiao, and Ye families, all four of the eight great families, have young geniuses rising..."
With the arrival of the Lin family, the crowd started talking again.
Lin Yan looked at the tightly closed palace gates, a look of dissatisfaction on his face. "Father, this royal family is really too arrogant. It's already this late, and they still haven't opened the palace gates. How long are we supposed to wait outside?"
The bearded man whispered, "Yan'er, this is the imperial city. Be careful with your words. If anyone in the royal family hears you, you'll be in trouble."
Lin Yan said arrogantly, "Hmph~ What are you afraid of, Father? I am already a Martial Saint. I can defeat all enemies. I am gifted with extraordinary talents. It won't be long before I soar to the sky. The royal family is weak and relies on a eunuch to support the edifice. I will definitely replace them..."
The bearded man shook his head and smiled bitterly.
A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger.
My son is good in every way except that he is too arrogant.
Although he thought so, he surprisingly did not scold his son. Instead, a sense of anticipation surged in his heart that he himself was not aware of.
Maybe~
What Yan'er said is really feasible.
There was renewed unrest at the back of the crowd.
Gongsun, Dongfang, Xiao, Ye... from the eight great families also came one after another.
Three poles in the sun.
The palace was crowded with people.
All the forces from the Great Zhou Kingdom who could come came.
"Crack~"
The locked palace gate finally slowly opened.
Warriors from all forces entered one after another.
Great Zhou Kingdom.
A martial arts competition held every three years.
It took several days from start to finish.
The martial arts competition only tests the strength of the contestants, so the competition items are very simple, there is only one, the ranking competition!
