From the chaotic sea of ​​stars, it began to wreak havoc on all the heavens.

It would have been better if she hadn't taken it; after taking it, all her injuries were completely healed, and the Ice Heart Technique, which had been trapped in the tenth level for half a year, showed signs of loosening.

If all these pills were refined, wouldn't it be possible to raise one's cultivation level to the eleventh level before the ranking competition begins?
Seeing Bingling's reaction, Qin Sheng smiled inwardly. The healing effect of his pills was secondary; the most important thing was that they had a miraculous effect on improving ice-attribute techniques.

It was obtained from the treasure vault of the dragon clan when he killed the Golden Dragon King.

He needed to comprehend the essence and profound mystery of the Aohan Blade Technique, and he was confident that he could cultivate the Aohan Blade Technique to its highest level before the start of the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition; otherwise, why would it take a year?

"Junior brother, this is too precious."

A hint of emotion flashed in Bingling's eyes as she transmitted her voice.

"It's alright. With my comprehension, I don't need this pill anyway. But you must remember not to rely on it too much. Only take it when your cultivation technique encounters a bottleneck like this one." Qin Sheng smiled slightly and replied.

Bingling nodded, and when she looked at Qin Sheng again, her gaze seemed to hold something more.

The matches continued round by round, because Qin Sheng's complete domination of Mo Yan in the previous match was too shocking.

As a result, apart from the match between Bingling and Gu Qing, which was somewhat interesting, the subsequent battles were clearly uninteresting. Everyone was eagerly anticipating the ranking matches so they could witness the clash between these young powerhouses.

The atmosphere wasn't broken until Ye Chen faced off against Bing Ling.

And the outcome of this battle was, naturally, just like in the original story.

After Ye Chen unleashed 50% of his sword intent, Bing Ling was no match for him at all.

The only slight difference was that this situation did not last long. During the battle, Bingling suddenly broke through on the spot, and the Ice Heart Technique in her body was raised to the eleventh level.

Ice Bell's combat power surged dramatically after reaching the eleventh level of the Ice Heart Technique. Not only did the quality of her true energy increase by more than 50%, but her mastery of the Ice Crack Fist and the penultimate killing move, Ice Crystal Fist, also improved significantly.

Don't worry about excessive energy depletion after using the Ice Crystal Fist attack.

Although she still lost to Ye Chen, she also forced out 60% of Ye Chen's sword intent.

It shocked everyone present.

"Impressive! I never expected Bingling to be able to break through on the spot and raise the Ice Heart Technique, a top-tier Earth-level cultivation technique of the Ice Absolute Sect, to the eleventh level. Now, it seems that she is a sure thing to break into the top five."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Didn't you see how ridiculously strong Sikong Sheng and Qin Sheng are? Besides, Bingling just lost to Ye Chen, who unleashed 60% of his sword intent. To break into the top five, she has to defeat four of the following five people: Fire Spirit Prince Yan Chihuo, Ruthless Swordsman Li Daoxuan, Lin Yun, Tuoba Ku, and Murong Qingcheng. None of these people are easy to deal with. As for Mo Yan, he's probably no match for Bingling."

Because of Mo Yan's lackluster performance earlier, the spectators had already ranked him tenth.

The Ice Absolute Sect Master, the cold and beautiful woman, hadn't been this happy in a long time. Perhaps she had smiled more than all the smiles she had in the first half of her life combined. "Bing Ling's Ice Heart Technique has actually broken through to the eleventh level at a crucial moment. There may be little hope for the top three, but the top five is very promising. In this way, my Ice Absolute Sect will occupy two of the top five spots on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, becoming the best among the seven sixth-grade sects."

“Yes.” The other elders also had smiles on their faces.

In contrast, the expressions of the other sixth-rank sect members were not so pleasant.

Especially Sikong Ba, the sect leader of Suspended Mountain.

"Where did this kid come from?"

He saw a serious threat in Qin Sheng. Without Qin Sheng, the Hidden Dragon Ranking would undoubtedly have fallen into the hands of his grandson, Sikong Sheng. At the same time, his second disciple of Xuankong Mountain, Gu Youyun, a descendant of the Stone King and one of the two great kings of Xuankong Mountain, was also able to break into the top ten of the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

Thinking of this, he looked at Sikong Sheng again, a rare hint of worry in his eyes, and sighed inwardly, "Sheng'er, I hope you won't disappoint me."

The competition continued, and there were no more clashes between young giants.

Qin Sheng's next opponent, naturally, chose to surrender.

Time flows by like water.

Half an hour later, the tenth round of the competition came to a complete end.

The top twelve from each group will be included in the Hidden Dragon List, becoming the new generation of top players.

Those who were eliminated, if they were under 21 years old, were fine; they could continue to participate in the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition three years later. If they were over 21 years old, they would no longer have the chance to participate in the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition, and they were all heartbroken.

"Those who make it into the top 72 of the Hidden Dragon Ranking will all stand on the dueling platform to receive the baptism of the dragon vein's energy, while all others who are not related will leave the arena."

As the chief referee finished speaking, the eliminated younger generation left the competition venue, and the remaining seventy-two people jumped onto the six fighting platforms in the arena.

Qin Sheng and Bing Ling naturally jumped onto the same arena. He roughly observed that disciples from all the major sixth-rank sects had made it onto the list.

Some have five or six sects, like the Flying Demon Sect; others have two or three, like the Sunset Glow Sect.

The Ice Absolute Sect only has four members.

If Qin Sheng hadn't been present, the number of Ice Absolute Sect members on the list probably wouldn't have been much better than that of Falling Clouds Sect.

About fifteen minutes passed.

The faint sound of dragon roars could be heard from the abyss between the arenas. Then, streams of dragon-shaped energy burst forth from it, flowing into the bodies of the participants before emerging again and hovering outside their bodies.

"Is this the aura of the dragon vein? It's truly profound."

Qin Sheng was slightly surprised. He had just felt the presence of the dragon-shaped energy flow within his body, which entered his body through his Baihui point and then circulated through his flesh and bones, nourishing his entire body in a unique way.

Even the nascent soul within the body felt an indescribable warmth.

Although it was very faint, Qin Sheng still sensed it.

But this was only the beginning of acquiring the dragon vein's energy, and it was still very weak. The dragon-shaped phantom outside the body was only one zhang in size.

Those who ranked in the top ten of the previous Hidden Dragon List all exceeded seven zhang, with Sikong Sheng even reaching the level of eight zhang and four chi.

"It seems that the dragon vein energy on Sikong Sheng is higher than in the original story. Could it be because of my arrival? The dragon vein energy of the Hidden Dragon Ranking is based on the level of each year's participants. Because of my participation, the level of this year's Hidden Dragon Ranking competition has suddenly increased a lot. I think that's the only reason."

Thinking this to himself, Qin Sheng heard Silver Moon's voice within his body, "Master, this dragon vein energy feels so good! Silver Moon feels that with the support of the dragon vein energy, the speed at which my demonic power circulates has increased dramatically." (End of Chapter)
