People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 551 Prelude to the Hidden Dragon (Tenth Update! 16000 Monthly Tickets Requested!)

Then another day passed, and it was July 14th.

That morning, Li Qi and his family boarded a plane to Nancheng, the central hub of Nanzhou.

He couldn't possibly miss the Hidden Dragon Cup, not only for the increased chances of survival, but also for the crucial Fate Points.

Every bit of strength and resource is an accumulation that can be transformed into a driving force for progress. Li Qi would not be blindly arrogant and think that he no longer needs these things; that would be a meaningless form of arrogance.

This morning, Li Qi tested the newly acquired Ultimate Liberation in the dungeon. It was indeed extremely powerful; once activated, it was more than ten times stronger than the Second Liberation.

Faced with this level of life-burning power, even with Huang Quan Jue's superpower, he could only unleash ten strikes.

After that, the superpower itself will collapse and fall into a state of self-destruction.

Fortunately, the equipment on the Body of Calamity is locked. When the Body of Calamity refreshes, the superpower of destruction will also refresh.

In reality, once the ultimate liberation is achieved, Li Qi believes that everyone below the sage level must die, and of course, he himself must die as well.

But he was already overwhelmed with the senses of good fortune and misfortune, and since he didn't want to die, no one could force him into that situation.

Even if his closest relatives were captured and threatened, he would not willingly die for that. However, even if he killed all his enemies and exterminated their lineage, he would still inevitably have some regrets.

This time, Sun Guang didn't come along. It wasn't that he didn't want to watch the excitement; the reason was simple: he had come to Nancheng more than ten days earlier to have fun. Sun Guang's maternal clan was from this area.

In fact, Sun Guang had contacted Li Qi a few days earlier, saying he would pick him up from the airport. However, Li Qi's father also had an old friend there who had made prior arrangements, so the offer had to be cancelled.

Tiannan is quite a distance from Nancheng, but fortunately, Tiannan is not on the outskirts of Nanzhou, so the family boarded the plane in the morning and arrived around 6 p.m.

In this season, it gets dark very late, usually around 7 p.m. When the family got off the plane, it was still quite bright outside.

After getting off the plane, the group hadn't walked far when they saw a beautiful girl holding a sign. The girl had black hair, wore a white dress, and had bright eyes. At first glance, she seemed knowledgeable and well-mannered.

The sign had Li's father's name on it, so she was clearly the one who came to pick him up from the airport.

"Hello Uncle Li, my name is Wen Luofei. My dad asked me to pick you up."

“My dad originally planned to come in person, but now that an elder in the family is here, he really can’t leave, so he had to send me instead. Please bear with us.”

The girl had sharp eyes and spotted Li Qi and his group at a glance, quickly fixing her gaze on Li's father.

Then she turned her gaze to Li Qi.

Before she came, her father had already told her why the family had come to Nancheng, mainly to watch Li Qi play the Qianlong Cup.

Actually, she didn't know that Li's father and mother were both lazy and not very interested in watching the game. This time, Li's father mainly thought that he had a friend here whom he hadn't seen for many years, and on a whim, he made this trip.

However, the inside story is not important.

"I never imagined that this renowned top ten fighter in the world would have such a huge difference between his real-life and online persona. If I hadn't known beforehand, I probably would never have guessed that this seemingly gentle young man could be so fierce when he fights, completely unlike a human being. However, I guess I'm just a mortal with limited vision. True masters can definitely see a lot more..."

At this moment, Wen Luofei's mind was filled with mixed thoughts.

Ever since her father told her about this at noon today, she had been unable to suppress her curiosity about Li Qi. He had risen to prominence through the Demon-Slaying Tribulation, even earning the honor of being among the top ten in the world's battles. In fact, this time, if it weren't for one of the Seven Immortals suddenly blocking his path, he would definitely have achieved the highest honors in the imperial examinations.

After all, before this edition, the previous champions of the Nanzhou Qianlong Cup were definitely no match for Li Qi in terms of fighting strength.

The four-fold limit-breaking technique normally only appears in the Great Trial of Mountains and Rivers.

It is only because of the great fortune of humanity in this era that the upper limit has been raised so wildly.

However, in Wen Luofei's opinion, Li Qi's failure to win the championship this time was not due to any fault in the battle.

This young man is already dazzling enough, but unfortunately, even the Seven Immortals cannot surpass him.

This is no longer a simple case of crossing borders to assault someone, because if you can cross borders, the other party can do the same, and even cross more borders...

Although she had many thoughts on her mind, she didn't show them on her face at all, only smiling as she looked at Li Qi and the others.

As for Wen Luofei's words, Li's father just smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Old Wen would actually say he wanted to pick me up in person. This is not like him. Back when he was in school, he was even lazier than me. How could he be so diligent?"

Afterwards, Li's father chatted casually with Wen Luofei for a few more minutes, and then the group arrived at the place where Wen Luofei had parked her car.

As for this friend of Li's father, Li's father had already told Li Qi about this person's situation on the plane.

Li's father's friend was named Wen He'an. He and Li's father met in the capital city. Wen He'an was Li's classmate and friend. When Li Qi was born, Wen He'an sent him a jade ring as a gift. However, Li Qi accidentally broke off a piece of it and then put it away.

If a jade ring breaks, it is considered unlucky to wear it again. According to metaphysics, this means that the ring has protected its owner from a disaster.

Li's father didn't say much, but Li Qi now possesses various supernatural abilities; he can naturally know a lot of things just by knowing a name and a place name.

Wen He'an was a member of the Wen family, one of the nine prominent families in Nancheng.

Unlike other cities, Nancheng has been the core of Nanzhou throughout history, and it remains so today.

The Nine Clans of Nancheng, or rather the Nine Clans of Nanzhou, are spread throughout Nanzhou, and their immense power is self-evident.

Wen He'an is a collateral branch of the Wen family. Although not the main branch, he is still a powerful figure in Nancheng, capable of wielding considerable influence.

At the same time, the Wen family takes Wen as their surname, and their greatest skill is none other than Wenxin Diaolong (The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons).

About twenty minutes later, the car arrived in front of a large house on the southern edge of the city. It had red walls and tiles, and was antique in style, making it look extraordinary.

While in the car, Li Qi had seen the entire journey from the airport to this place, getting a general overview of Nancheng. This area has preserved a large number of ancient buildings, but at the same time, it also boasts towering skyscrapers and cutting-edge technologies, creating a unique atmosphere that blends the ancient, the modern, and the future.

Such an atmosphere truly befits the center of a prefecture.

After the group entered the house under the guidance of Consort Wen Luo, they wandered around for several minutes before finally arriving at a pavilion.

At that moment, inside the pavilion, a middle-aged man and an old man were drinking tea and chatting. The old man glanced at Li Qi as he entered, initially not paying much attention, but after taking another look, he was so startled that he jumped up, smashing a corner of the pavilion above him. However, he was completely unaware of this, his eyes fixed on Li Qi, which startled Wen Luofei and the middle-aged man.
