This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 432 The Body of the Great Dao
October 3, the 17th year of Hongguang reign.

The first exchange match between Tianqu University and Hongyi University ended successfully.

Since the first Martial Arts Exchange Competition was held, a competition has been held every year.

It’s just that at the beginning it was only the three Taoist sects and twelve universities that participated, but now it has become Pudu Temple, thirteen universities and two Taoist sects that are participating.

A few months before the National Martial Arts Exchange Competition, some universities will hold exchange competitions with each other to hone their students and also serve as an internal selection.

This year is the first time that Hongyi University has held an exchange competition with Tianqu University. As a "new university", Hongyi University took the initiative to send students to Tianqu University to participate in the competition.

There are a total of 15 participating students from Hongyi University, including 5 civilian students and 10 children of powerful officials.

This ratio does not mean that the school intentionally gives more places to children of the powerful, but is selected based on the students' overall performance.

Although Hongyi University claims to treat all students equally, when it comes to obtaining resources, the children of the powerful and wealthy will find it easier to obtain credits and exchange them for resources with the help of their families and their connections.

If civilian students want to catch up with their opponents in terms of resource acquisition, they can only risk their lives!
In this case, civilian students only occupied one-third of the 15 places.

But in the exchange competition between the two universities, the five civilian students from Hongyi University performed very well.

Whether it's on-the-spot response or the fighting spirit and ruthlessness, they are obviously stronger than the other students!

Students trained with the cruelest "jianghu sect-style" education method are indeed stronger in character than those trained with "greenhouse education".

The five civilian students of Hongyi University are headed by Zhang Yan, a junior. (See Chapter 110 of Volume , "Hongyi" for details)
Zhang Yangang had just broken through to the middle stage of Qi transformation. He was the one with the highest cultivation level among all the civilian students in Hongyi University, and also the strongest combat power. He was called "senior brother" by a group of civilian students.

In this exchange competition, he made it all the way to the finals, but ultimately lost to a fifth-year student at Tianqu University who was at the peak of the Qi Transformation Stage.

After the competition, students from the two universities met for dinner.

Of course, since the common people students and the children of the powerful at Hongyi University are almost like water and fire, the dinners are arranged separately.

Everyone made appointments with different people.

In the end, Zhang Yan and others only invited three students from Tianqu University.

After the meal, Zhang Yan called a student from Tianqu University aside:
"Brother Zhuo, you've been thinking about it for half a year, and you still haven't made up your mind?"

The student from Tianqu University is named Zhuo Buping, and he is the champion of the exchange competition between the two schools.

At the National Martial Arts Exchange Competition two years ago, he made it all the way to the second round of the main competition, but ended up meeting Li Fei and was eventually eliminated. (For details, see Chapter 14 of Volume , "The Eternal Flow of the Rivers and the Earth")
Zhuo Buping's family background can also be classified as a commoner. He was born with a bitter face, and when he heard Zhang Yan's question, his expression looked even more bitter.

Half a year ago, he and Zhang Yan met at the last National Martial Arts Exchange Competition.

After the game, Zhang Yan took the initiative to find him and invited him to join the Xintianhui!
At that time, Zhuo Buping did not agree immediately and said he would think about it.

"Brother Zhuo, if you have any difficulties, please speak frankly."

Zhang Yan had a frank look on his face.

Zhuo Buping shook his head and used his strength to transmit his voice:

"On the 1st of this month, abnormalities occurred simultaneously in more than villages and towns in five northern provinces. Tens of thousands of people suddenly fell into a coma, which ultimately caused nearly a thousand casualties, and many people were left with lifelong illnesses. A week ago, the court announced the cause. All of this was done by the Xintianhui, which had just been defined as a cult organization. Brother Zhang, do you have anything to say?"

Zhang Yan was not surprised to hear this. He still looked at Zhuo Buping calmly and said with his strength:

"These are indeed the actions of the New Heaven Society."

Zhuo Buping suddenly became furious: "Then how dare you invite me to join you?!"

Zhang Yan remained calm and shook his head:

“Brother Zhuo, have you ever thought about the snowstorm at the beginning of the year? These five provinces were the hardest hit. The corruption and incompetence of the local government led to people freezing to death in many remote villages and towns.

If Xintian hadn't spent a lot of spellcasting materials to set up a formation nearby and provided them with spells to keep out the cold, many of them would not have survived this snowstorm, and the number of deaths would have been several times higher than it is now!"

Zhuo Buping was startled and said sarcastically, "So, the New Heaven Society not only did not harm them, but saved them?"

Zhang Yan asked back: "Isn't it?"

Zhuo Buping: “.”

He couldn't find any reason to refute the other party for a moment, but subconsciously felt that this was wrong.

"Brother Zhuo, have you ever thought about how many spellcasting materials the New Heaven Society would need to come up with to complete this task involving five provinces and more than 200 towns and villages? With so many spellcasting materials, would there be no one to help us behind the scenes? Why would those people help us?"

Zhang Yan continued, "How is it possible that no news of their simultaneous moves in more than 200 villages and towns could be leaked? Why was it that none of the news was passed on to the central authority?"

Zhuo Buping looked at him and said, "Are you trying to say that there are people from your group in the imperial court?"

Zhang Yan shook his head: "It's not just this reason, but also because many people took the initiative to help us conceal the news in order to protect their official hats."

Zhuo Buping frowned.

Zhang Yan sneered: "We can succeed not only because of our ability, but also because of the corruption and incompetence of our opponents!

You only heard from the court that the Xintian would cause thousands of casualties, but the court will never tell you that because of the corruption and inaction of local officials, many people who could have survived with the court's relief ended up dying in the snowstorm! "

Zhuo Buping: “.”

He pondered for a moment and finally sorted out his thoughts:

"But if you also do things by sacrificing others at will, what is the difference between you and the court you despise?"

There was also a hint of anger in Zhang Yan's eyes: "I have already said it just now, if it weren't for the New Heaven Society's intervention, those people would have died in the snowstorm! It was the New Heaven Society that saved more people! And how can a change of dynasty happen without bloodshed and sacrifice? Only by going through the pain can we change the world!"

Zhuo Buping was silent for a few seconds, and finally shook his head:

"I'm sorry, Brother Zhang, I think I still can't accept your style of doing things."

A hint of disappointment appeared on Zhang Yan's face:
"Brother Zhuo, with your talent, if you have enough resources, you will definitely become a Dao Foundation Stage expert, and you may even have the opportunity to go higher in the future. Are you really willing to be trampled on forever by those powerful children who are inferior to you in every way?"

Zhuo Buping's mind flashed back to the time when he participated in the National Martial Arts Exchange Competition and the powerful young man who was in the same group with him took it for granted that he deliberately made him lose the game.

He subconsciously clenched his fists, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Finally, he said to Zhang Yan: "I'm sorry."

Zhang Yan sighed, turned around and left without further persuasion.

Just opposite the restaurant where the two were having dinner, there was a house.

In the lobby, two middle-aged men sat opposite each other drinking tea.

One of them was wearing a light white gown, a jade hairpin on his head, and a jade pendant around his waist, looking quite scholarly.

If Zhuo Buping from the restaurant opposite was here, he would be able to recognize at a glance that this man with a scholarly demeanor was the president of his own university - Qi Zhou!
"Zhuo Buping? This is a good name, and his character is also good. What do you think, Brother Qi?"

The man sitting opposite Qi Zhou said while drinking tea.

Zhuo Buping and Zhang Yan both used the power of sound transmission when they were chatting, but the conversation between them did not seem to be hidden from the two people present, and they were all heard!

Qi Zhou smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip:
"It's really nice to be praised by you."

The man sitting opposite him was wearing a gray coat and had an ordinary-looking face. If you looked closely, you would find that his face seemed to be hidden in the mist and could not be seen clearly.

The man put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Brother Qi, with such talent, why don't you consider cultivating him?"

Qi Zhou said calmly: "I can only guarantee him a fair competition environment. How much he can gain in the end depends on him." "Fair?"

The man with a blurred face sneered, "Under the current environment of Tianqu University, how can there be any fairness? Brother Qi, why do you have to deceive yourself?"

Qi Zhou shook his head, not wanting to argue with the other party on this topic.

Inside the restaurant, Zhang Yan and Zhuo Buping were no longer talking, so the two men in the room shifted their attention elsewhere.

It happened that at this moment, a storyteller was telling a story in the lobby on the first floor of the restaurant:
".I saw Jing'an Hou's whole body glowing with golden light, transforming into a giant sword that pierced the sky, as if it wanted to poke a hole in the sky!"

"Above the nine heavens, there are colorful clouds, and fairies scatter flowers. Golden springs are gushing from the ground, and the entire Lanling City is full of golden lotuses."

The storyteller was talking about the national live broadcast half a month ago, in which Jing'an Marquis Li Fei achieved a breakthrough on the spot.

He spent a full three minutes talking about the various strange phenomena that occurred when he broke through the realm. He described it in such an exaggerated way that it seemed as if Li Fei had not broken through the realm, but ascended to heaven in broad daylight!

But the audience in the restaurant were listening with great interest. Even many people who knew martial arts did not think that the storyteller was bragging.

It seems that this is the scene when Jing'an Marquis Li Fei breaks through!
“After breaking through the realm, Marquis Jing’an flew into the sky in one step and shouted to the big devil of the Xintian Society: You bastard, do you dare to fight me for another 300 rounds?!”

"The president of the New Heaven Society didn't dare to reply and could only retreat."

"When Marquis Jing'an landed again, the Blue Patrol Pavilion's referendum continued. The councilors from Feng Province came on stage to vote one after another. Everyone was conquered by Marquis Jing'an's bravery. In the end, Marquis Jing'an received 74 votes and was successfully elected as a member of the Blue Patrol Pavilion of Feng Province!"

"."

Inside the house, Qi Zhou looked at the man opposite with a smile.

"Laugh if you want."

The man with a blurred face said unhappily.

"Hahaha."

Qi Zhou burst into laughter. "I never thought that a great master would be slapped in the face by a junior like this."

The person opposite him was none other than the president of the Xin Tian Hui, the newly promoted True Lord Qiming!
It's just that Zhenjun is a respectful title for the Taoist sorcerers with the highest achievements. Qiming is the president of the Xin Tian Hui, and the Xin Tian Hui has just been defined as a cult. Naturally, as a cult leader, he cannot be honored with the title of Zhenjun.

This great devil who had just been defined as the 'fourth evil devil' actually sat and talked with the president of Tianqu University, and it seemed that the two had a close relationship.

Qi Zhou laughed for a while and asked curiously:

"I wanted to ask from the beginning, how did Li Fei do it that day?"

It is incredible that one can block a full-strength attack from a True Lord with the cultivation level of the Dao Foundation Stage!
"His physique is very special, perhaps it is some kind of a body of great Dao."

Qiming said.

"The body of the great road?"

"There are laws of nature."

"How is it possible to have such a physique?!"

Qi Zhou's face changed.

He has the cultivation level of a grandmaster, has mastered the realm of martial arts, and has condensed the prototype of the Tao.

This was the result of his lifelong practice, but he still could not touch the edge of the Tao.

Now Qiming told him that some people are born with the Tao?
This is as unacceptable as someone being born a martial arts saint!
"I can't think of any other possibility."

Qiming said with a complicated tone.

He recalled the scene of that day, when Li Fei's vitality plummeted, then rose sharply, then plummeted again, and then rose sharply.
Not only that, Li Fei himself was not affected by the curse and his body was almost intact.

Qiming could not think of any other possible explanation for this strange phenomenon except using the Tao.

"If he possesses the Dao, why isn't he a Martial Saint? Isn't he a True Lord?"

Qi Zhou asked.

Possessing a complete set of Dao principles means reaching the pinnacle realm; this is common knowledge in the cultivation world.

"First, maybe the Dao principles in him have not been fully activated. Second, he cannot fully control the Dao principles in his body."

Qiming gave his own explanation.

Qi Zhou frowned and thought hard.

After a long while, he laughed at himself: "Doesn't it mean that what I have been trying so hard to get in my whole life, he was born with, and is destined to reach the top in the future?"

Qiming looked at him: "Isn't that what life is like?"

"How many children of common people have been struggling for their whole lives, while the children of the rich and powerful are born with it."

"."

Qi Zhou was silent for a moment and asked, "How are you going to deal with this?"

Qi Ming made an elaborate plan and used Qi Jin's "Star Entering Life Technique" to tamper with Li Fei's fate, thereby bypassing the protection of others and directly cursing Li Fei.

But after the failed retreat on the 1st, he immediately took the initiative to eliminate all the tricks left on Li Fei.

Not only did he not dare to use the same trick again, he didn't even dare to curse Li Fei remotely, starting from his fate.

Because the imperial court must have been on guard, and it is possible to find him through the clue of Li Fei!

Qiming's plan failed that day. Not only did he miss a great opportunity, but he also put himself in a rather dangerous situation.

This is the price he has to pay after his plan fails!
Since Li Fei faced his curse but did not die, then some connection between him and Li Fei will continue to exist.

If it were any other True Lord, it might be difficult to grasp this connection.

But the way of the national teacher Yun Shu is "analysis".

As long as Yun Shu is given enough time, the opponent may be able to lock down Qiming through Li Fei!

This is also the reason why Qiming must deliberately target Yun Shu.

Unfortunately, the good situation was ruined by Li Fei.

Now Li Fei has truly become a "time bomb" for Qiming!
But this Master of Curses did not dare to kill Li Fei easily, because he was worried that there was a trap set by the court on Li Fei.

Once he steps on it, it will be difficult to get out.

For Qiming, Li Fei must be killed, but he cannot do it personally.

But Li Fei has already broken through, twice, and possesses the 'body of the Great Dao' that is so difficult to kill.

If a martial arts master were to take action, it would be difficult to guarantee a kill.

So Qiming came to find Qi Zhou.

PS: I have started writing a new volume, so there may be less content in the next two days. I will sort out my thoughts.
