Martial Saint!.

Chapter 191: The Beast of the Void Realm (5k)

As Lu Chenzhou's strength increased, his horizons gradually broadened.

He began to learn more about great medicine from his teachers and seniors, and he increasingly felt that the virtual realm was truly a great opportunity for mankind that had not been seen in millions of years.

Let alone other things, although there were natural treasures in the old world, they were extremely rare, and as the number of martial artists increased, they were quickly exhausted and extinct. Now there is the vast unknown land of the Void Realm, relying on the collective power of the country to collect them, and after being processed by martial arts pharmaceutical giants, more people can take the great medicine containing the medicinal properties of natural treasures, instead of being exclusively enjoyed by martial arts masters.

In the old days, this was something that ordinary warriors would not dare to think about.

"What is it like in the virtual world?"

If you want to explore the virtual world alone, a martial arts master is the safest choice. Another way is to follow the national scientific expedition team led by the master and join the official team.

Because the environment of the virtual world is completely different from this world, it is said that most places there are shrouded in eternal darkness, full of fog and miasma, and virtual objects are rampant everywhere.

The worst thing is that from time to time there will be [Cold Night Rain] containing the power of cold and corrosiveness, [Desolate Wind] that can corrode flesh and mind, [Ashes Snow] that can turn people into lost monsters... There are many natural disasters like this.

Only the martial arts master's [Body Protection True Energy] and special high-tech equipment that can work in the virtual world can resist these bizarre disasters.

Therefore, the virtual realm is full of restricted areas, and natural treasures often grow there.

Of course, judging from the current exploration situation, there are also some normal areas similar to the Earth in the virtual world, which are officially called: [Oasis].

For some unknown reason, disasters rarely occur in these places. Although there are few natural treasures, some rare medicinal herbs and strange creatures do grow there.

At present, various countries have discovered and occupied a total of 40 oases in the virtual world, and established outposts to study the virtual world. Daxia has occupied 18 oases and built 18 [Spark Cities], named after the top martial arts universities.

There is also a city in Longcheng.

Spark Dragon City!

In charge is the former president of Longcheng Wuda, Master Sixiang.

……

The next day.

Lu Chenzhou didn't get up until six o'clock and slept two hours more than usual. Whenever he had a breakthrough, he would give himself a short break to combine work and rest.

He took a breath and used his attention to check his Dantian. A ray of innate energy that looked like a golden tiger was slowly rotating, and the surrounding Qi and blood were swept up by it.

"Teacher said that innate strength can also passively absorb the power of qi and blood to grow stronger, but the effect is minimal. It still requires real skills to hone it."

There was also a light green mysterious power flowing in his body, which was much weaker than last night. It was the power of the Huixue Zhengti Pills. Under its nourishment, the hidden disease and internal injuries caused by the taming of his innate strength had almost recovered.

"It's nice to have money."

The balance of the great merit is still 1340.

In front of a martial artist, it's okay to consume as much as you want.

Lu Chenzhou looked at the martial arts tree.

【Dragon Tiger Heaven Post: 24nd Aperture (90%)】

25 days, 90% progress.

This speed is much faster than before.

Previously, it took him forty to fifty days to find acupoints simpler than this one.

First, he increased the time he spent on daily Tianzhuang practice.

Second, the effect of the Tiger Soul Divine Seed cannot be ignored.

It should be noted that the closer you are to 30 acupoints, the greater the difficulty. To be able to rise against the trend, simply increasing 2 hours of Tianzhuang every day is definitely not enough. The Shenzhong plays a big role.

After checking his body, Lu Chenzhou turned on his cell phone.

[Master Ruyu: Junior brother, how is your recovery? Are you alright now?]

【Wang Hongdao: Congratulations, Brother Lu, you have achieved enlightenment through the integration of the three powers. It seems that you are the first martial artist in the branch school. I would like to congratulate you in advance.】

Wang Hongdao speaks carefree, but he is suffering inside.

Before Lu Chenzhou came, he had absolute confidence in being the first.

In the class group chat, classmates also congratulated him.

【Xiao He: Longcheng’s first place is secured. 】

【Chen Xiaoyun: Don’t open the champagne. If you don’t get it, I’ll ask you! 】

[Cheetah: Exactly! Xiao He, when will you become a 10th dan? Stop being a figurehead in the school competition. You need to stand up.]

The criticism from everyone made Xiao He silent.

After thanking everyone, Lu Chenzhou went to the medical room.

The old man in the pharmacy saw Lu Chenzhou and said with a smile:
"Why are you here again?"

"Senior, do we have any medicine here that can help open up the acupoints?"

The old man thought for a moment and asked:
"Only martial artists are eligible to buy this thing. Even the genius class cannot break the rules. This is not only true for our school, but also for other schools."

"Why?"

"Acupoints are the basic skills and the most important. Before martial arts, people who practice martial arts do not have a strong will and are easily lost in the acupoint medicine. This thing can stimulate the opening of acupoints, but it has certain side effects on willpower."

"Well... I think I'm still okay."

"Don't think so. How about this? I happen to have an unsealed acupuncture point medicine. I'll let you smell it and absorb a little bit of the volatile medicinal properties."

As he spoke, the old man took out a blood-colored pill as big as a walnut, which gave off a peculiar scent of musk and even a hint of blood.

Lu Chenzhou just took a sniff and froze in place, as if a fierce aura from the ancient times had penetrated into his mind. Before him appeared a giant four-legged beast with fleshy wings on its back, a tumor on its head, and a body covered with hideous black thorns.

It roared and rushed over with a terrifying momentum comparable to that of a martial artist.

To outsiders, Lu Chenzhou had his eyes closed, cold sweat on his face, and his body was trembling instinctively. Seeing this, the old man prepared to wake him up by force.

Suddenly, he stopped.

But Lu Chenzhou's face was ferocious, his body was bulging, his training clothes were moving without wind, making rustling sounds, and the strong wind and momentum rose into the sky. In a trance, he turned into an invisible black ferocious tiger. The black tiger stood on a cliff thousands of feet high, roaring, and the mountains and rivers shook!

Roar!
The old man looked slightly surprised and smiled.

“Interesting, the aura is very strong, and it can communicate with the Heavenly Heart Seal, and use the eternal tiger-shaped will to forcibly suppress the remaining power of the alien beast. Not bad, not bad.

Having said that, this is a risk after only absorbing a trace of the medicinal properties. It seems that even a top genius cannot force himself to take this powerful medicine. "

When Lu Chenzhou came to his senses, he was already sweating profusely.

His expression changed, and he was obviously shocked.

Lu Chenzhou asked:
"Senior, what is this pill called?"

The old man smiled and said:
"Huang Ling Po Ti Wan, how is it, I didn't scare you, did I?"

Lu Chenzhou nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and said with lingering fear:

"It is indeed extraordinary. No wonder it is forbidden for non-martial artists to take it... Just now, a four-legged giant beast with two wings and a hideous and weird appearance invaded my mind."

The old man said:

"This is called the Flying Tumor-Headed Beast. What you are facing is just a trace of its will that remains in the pill and is difficult to erase through pharmaceutical means. If its real body stood in front of you, ten of you would not be its match. Only veteran martial artists can fight against such a being... You are far from reaching the limit realm."

Lu Chenzhou was shocked.

"Senior, is this an imaginary object?"

The old man shook his head:

"No, it is also a kind of virtual creature, but it is not a demon or ghost. It is an extremely rare rare bird or beast."

Lu Chenzhou was thoughtful:
"So this is the strange beast. Wait... this pill is made from the flesh and blood of the strange beast? Doesn't it contain the evil power of the Void Realm?"

This pill reminded him of the Void Blade.

This thing is made of the relics of the void and alloys, so it inevitably contains the unique corrosive power of void objects, and can only be controlled by those with a strong will.

The more powerful the virtual blade, the higher the willpower required.

The strongest virtual blade that can be controlled by non-martial artists is made using the relics of the ghost-level virtual blade... If it is higher, there is also a risk of being corroded.

The old man said:

“【Rare Birds and Exotic Beasts】are extremely rare, and often live in oases. Therefore, they do not have cold and evil forces in their bodies, so their flesh and blood can be used as materials for refining martial arts medicines. However, such beings are comparable to martial artists, and their wills are extremely strong.

So even if they die, their flesh and blood will be refined into the potion, and some traces of their will will remain, which is also the source of the side effects of the medicine. Only the will of a martial artist can ignore and easily erase such traces. Although you can kill them, it is too reluctant and dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be backfired and easily go astray."

"Thank you for clearing up my confusion, I still have another question."

"You said."

"In the old days of Daxia, there were often legends about strange beasts, such as the [Fire Deer] in the Fire Spirit Cave in Western Shu, the [Blue Bird] in Kunlun, and the [Sky-Flipping Snake] in the East China Sea...Are these the same creatures as the strange beasts in the Void Realm?"

The old man thought for a moment and said:
"I don't know either. After all, they are all extinct, and no fossil remains have been found. They are only records in ancient books, so there are inevitably some artistic processing and exaggeration... But the academic community generally believes that there should be a connection.

Compared to demons and ghosts, some strange beasts have no desire to attack humans. It is not ruled out that some strange beasts have left the virtual world and made their nests in our world.

Moreover, in the old days, technology was not well developed and the population was sparse. Some ancient people even regarded it as a sacred beast or god. Over time, this legend spread.

..."This old man is indeed the medical room manager.

In the old days, it was no different from a monk sweeping the floor in the Sutra Repository.

Lu Chenzhou benefited a lot from reading about ancient and modern times.

Before he left, he asked one last question:
"Senior, what's the price of this Huangling Poti Pill?"

The old man smiled and said:
"One pill of 100 great merits, the effect lasts for one to two weeks. According to the average standard of martial artists, it can increase the speed of enlightenment by one fifth. But for geniuses like you, I can't be sure. Some of you have very good effects, while others are just average."

"Hiss... a bit expensive."

Lu Chenzhou took a deep breath.

The old man sighed:
"Yes, it's very expensive. There's nothing we can do about it. There are too few rare animals and birds. This is a strategic resource for Daxia... This is just a martial arts acupoint-opening medicine. If you knew the price of the acupoint-opening medicine used by martial arts masters, your Taoism would collapse.

Therefore, the only way to practice Tianzhu is to work hard. The natural treasures and the medicine for opening the mind have nothing to do with ordinary people. For example, the Blue Sky Dragon King does not even bother to take the medicine for opening the mind. The 720 acupoints in his body are all opened up by hard work! "

Lu Chenzhou seemed to be thinking about something, then turned and left.

"Just practice normally."

He will not learn from the Dragon King of the Sky.

The Dragon King is talking without any pain in his waist.

He doesn't have the extraordinary talent for acupuncture points now.

As long as the side effects of the medicine can be overcome.

When you have money in the future, you can take drugs if you want. It’s not shameful.

……

The day before the game.

Sioux City Meiyou Airport.

A small passenger plane carrying the top 30 contestants of the Qianlong Competition flew into the sky. An hour later, it arrived in Jin. Lu Chenzhou sat at the window and looked at the majestic and steep Taihang Mountains below. It really was like a soaring dragon lying in the sky.

Wang Hongdao asked:
"Chen Zhou, you have never been to the headquarters, right?"

Lu Chenzhou nodded.

Qingtiancang said:
"It's okay. After the competition is over, let Wang Hongdao take you around the headquarters. Add the talented people in the headquarters as your friends and exchange martial arts experiences.

Even though we are a branch school, we should not feel inferior to the main school. If we encounter those who are showing off by relying on the main school's status, we should teach them a lesson. "

Some students in this department always have an inexplicable sense of superiority.

Qingtiancang also gave Lu Chenzhou a shot of prevention in advance.

……

6 month 30 day.

Longcheng Wuda Headquarters.

Covering an area of ​​30,000 acres, the campus is a small society in itself, with numerous streets and various public transportation services to pick up and drop off teachers and students.

Four temporary arenas have been set up in the square. There are more than 500 people participating in this competition, most of them are from the main campus, and only one-fifth are from the branch campus.

This shows the gap in strength between the two sides.

Lu Chenzhou does not need to participate in the first day of the competition.

As the first person in Longwu of Suzhou and a master of the Extreme Realm, he was given a bye to enter the top 16. Players like Wang Hongdao and Lao Tian directly entered the top 32. This can prevent the popular players from meeting each other early, and the biggest suspense will be left in the finals.

However, he watched the competition between the two senior sisters as a spectator.

Ji Feiyan was quite strong and was eliminated after entering the top 128. Shi Ruyu was eliminated in the first round. She came here to gain experience and the important thing was to participate.

Among the students in the genius class, Leopard Girl, Chen Xiaoyun, Yao Sheng, and Zhou Xingkong were all 64th-dan masters, and they all made it to the top 32 without any danger. However, only Leopard Girl and Zhou Xingkong made it to the top . Chen Xiaoyun and Yao Sheng were eliminated.

There are 10 genius classes in this department alone, so there are too many strong people.

Today's competition is over. Qing Tiancang gathered everyone together and said with a smile:
"Everyone performed very well. Principal Wang was very happy. He said that if we can make it to the top 64, the branch school will reward everyone with an additional 100 merits; 32 merits for the top 200, 16 merits for the top 300... and 500 merits for winning the title of Dragon City Ten Sons.

Finally, if you can get the Dragon City Chief, you will get 1000 great merits! In other words, all your rewards will be doubled based on the rewards from this school!"

Everyone cheered in unison.

Xiao He, who came to join in the fun, was extremely envious:
"Brother Wang, Brother Lu, you have to treat us now that we have got ten pieces!"

Wang Hongdao smiled slightly.

"That's natural."

Being one of the Ten Sons of Dragon City was the honor he had always dreamed of.

Now his blood and energy is 7.9, not far from 8. With the strength of his whale form, as long as he doesn't make the same mistake as last time, he still has hope of entering the top ten.

Li Fu from Class 9 did not participate in the competition, so there was one less competitor.

The first day of competition went smoothly.

Several people from the sect were discussing Lu Chenzhou's opponent tomorrow in the hotel.

Ji Xuantong said:
"Chen Zhou, I asked someone to get some information. In the genius class of our headquarters, there are 5 people whose strength is not weaker than Wang Hongdao. It is suspected that their health is 8 points... But they are not to be feared. The one who poses the greatest threat to you should be Guo Bai from the branch school.

This boy practices Dragon Form Fist, has a superior physique, excellent comprehension, and has long been a top-class talent. His Qi and blood have long been at 8 points, and he has also comprehended the innate strength. Rumor has it that he just opened 30 orifices not long ago, and this time he is aiming at the chief of Dragon City.

I told you, when all 30 acupoints are opened, you have stepped half a step into the realm of martial artist. Every move you make will cause all 30 acupoints to vibrate together, and the strength you can exert is more than just 8 points of Qi and blood. You must be careful.

With Guo Bai's posture close to that of a martial arts genius, he might be able to communicate with the Heavenly Heart Seal. His boxing theory has probably entered the third realm, and his aura and spirit are not inferior to yours. With horizontal training, your tolerance rate has increased, but it does not mean that you are absolutely invincible. Guo Bai is fine. In the future, when he faces a martial arts genius, no one will be a piece of cake!"

Lu Chenzhou pondered and said, "This Guo Bai... slightly delayed the time of breaking the shackles, just to get first place?"

Ji Xuantong sighed and said:

"The title of Chief of Dragon City is not light."

……

The next day.

The competition for the top 32 to advance to the top 16 began in the morning.

In this round, Zhou Xingkong, who was highly expected by Qingtiancang, was eliminated, followed by Leopard Girl. Her opponent was a master of the extreme realm in our department named Ning De. This guy fought very fiercely and even deliberately used trash talk to provoke Leopard Girl during the fight.

"The branch schools are full of rookies, it would be too boring to fight with them."

"Leopard print clothes, tsk tsk tsk...I like it."

Lu Chenzhou felt that this brother should be called Ning Quede.

Leopard Woman herself was not a pushover either. She was really angry and with the sound of bones crackling, her arm was broken. She held on for a while but was defeated and was sent to the medical room.

Wang Hongdao made it into the top 16 steadily.

He has made mistakes many times, so he must not make any mistakes this time. As long as he can play to his whale-shaped advantage, he will have a chance to enter the top 8 and win the title of Top Ten. Otherwise, he will have to participate in the subsequent resurrection match to compete for the last two spots.

After stepping down from the stage, Lu Chenzhou said:
"Congratulations, brother Wang, you are expected to have ten children."

Wang Hongdao:
"I have benefited a lot from studying with you during this period. Thank you very much."

“We will improve each other.”

Not long after.

Leopard Woman also came out of the medical room wrapped in bandages.

She came to Lu Chenzhou and reminded him in a low voice:

"Be careful next time. Many of our students are experienced. They like to talk trash before the game to break our defense. They also have a lot of combat experience."

Lu Chenzhou had also heard that the school spirit here was fierce and the martial virtues were too abundant. Many people had gone through countless trainings and were extremely ruthless. In comparison, the freshmen at the Sucheng branch were as docile and docile as capybaras.

He expressed his concern:

"Are you OK."

Leopard Girl shook her head:
"It's just a minor injury, which means I can't box for half a month."

"Just don't delay the Tianzhu."

After some adjustments, the top 16 matches were announced.

[Lu Chenzhou (Sulong Class 1) vs. Ningde (Headquarters Class 1)]

Leopard Woman looked at the big screen, raised her eyebrows and looked happy.

She pointed at Ning De and said in a somewhat complaining tone:

"Chen Zhou! Let him see your strength!"

Good and evil will eventually end... Lu!
