Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 140: Win people’s hearts
With this idea in mind, some "smart people" began to leave, heading outside, wanting to use their remaining spirit stones to bet on a different target.

Li Yunjing had no idea that his experiment with his physical strength would spark so many speculations.

"Senior brother! I have another move! Please instruct me!"

Tian Haifeng was unwilling to give up. Even though Li Yunjing's "Breaking Qi Spear" was already invincible in attack and impenetrable in defense, he still wanted to make one last desperate attempt!
The round of 32 and the round of 16 are two different concepts!
The difference in benefits is enormous!
Furthermore, if Tian Haifeng defeats Li Yunjing, he might be able to advance even further!
"That kid Li Yunjing is simply bullying people!"

"There's absolutely no need for him to continue the match!"

"Good lad, I didn't expect his physical strength to be cultivated so well."

……

While Tian Haifeng was still trying to give it his all, several elders on the platform couldn't help but shake their heads.

With their Golden Core cultivation, they could clearly see everything about Li Yunjing. They knew perfectly well that Li Yunjing was about to lose control of his power, which was about to explode.

It can be said that as soon as the outer sect competition ends, Li Yunjing will be able to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining Realm on the spot!
Such talent earned him repeated nods of praise from the elders.

Elder Han of the "Foreign Affairs Hall" nodded slightly, revealing a satisfied expression.

"Yunyi, when did Li Yunjing cultivate his physical body to this level?"

On the other side, Lü Ruoxi was also very surprised and asked Yu Yunyi, who was standing next to her.

"I don't know either! I've never seen him fight like this before!"

Yu Yunyi shook her head slightly, her expression equally bewildered. How many more surprises could this mysterious man possibly bring her?

"Hehe... With such a strong body, Yunyi, I don't know whether you should be happy or angry now."

Lu Ruoxi said with a grin.

"What do you mean?"

Yu Yunyi was a little confused, but when she saw Lü Ruoxi's seductive and flirtatious look, she immediately realized what was going on and couldn't help but roll her eyes at Lü Ruoxi.

This woman is absolutely boring...

"Since Junior Brother Tian still wants to give it a try, then please do!"

Li Yunjing remained calm. His physical strength was extremely high, and he would not feel tired even if he fought for three days and three nights. Why would he be afraid of the opponent continuing to attack?
"Ethereal Swords of Ten Thousand Swords!"

Tian Haifeng roared, his clothes fluttering as he pushed his magic power to its limit. His face turned slightly pale, and a violent force erupted from his body.

One after another, small swords formed from condensed magical power appeared densely around Tian Haifeng. The powerful sword energy surged and raged, transforming into a rain of swords that swept across the sky, striking towards Li Yunjing!

The wind amplifies the sword's momentum, a thousand swords pierce the heart!
"Good! Junior Brother Tian is quite skilled!"

Li Yunjing nodded, his eyes showing approval. He activated his magic power and instantly turned to stone, his blood and qi boiling like a furnace!
Even though Tian Haifeng and Li Yunjing were five zhang apart, they both felt the terrifying heat sweeping towards them.

Even the air seemed to ignite from Li Yunjing's blood and energy.

"Li Yunjing can still use magic!"

"He's not seriously injured?"

"How can this be?"

"My spirit stones..."

A frenzy erupted in several stands, with many people showing expressions of regret, realizing they shouldn't have placed bets earlier.

Li Yunjing is clearly a bastard who's trying to screw them over!

This is it, everything is ruined!
"This guy is really strong!"

Seeing Li Yunjing's imposing presence, Yu Yunyi's pretty face revealed a sweet smile: "It seems this guy can now stand shoulder to shoulder with us."

"Yes! It's unbelievable! He has a top-grade spiritual artifact bestowed upon him by Elder Han. If we don't advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm, we really won't be able to defeat him."

Lü Ruoxi sighed, "His progress is too fast! Yunyi, how did you get to know this person? How did you see that he was extraordinary?"

"Sigh! How could I possibly see that? I've been shocked by him so many times."

Yu Yunyi shook her head slightly, recalling the past with a sense of loss.

"Let's wait and see! I'm really curious to see how far he can go."

Lu Ruoxi's eyes shone brightly, as if she could see through all of Li Yunjing's secrets.

"Dangdangdang..."

At this moment, Li Yunjing stood on the arena, letting Tian Haifeng's hurricane and thousands of flying swords kill him. Countless magical flying swords struck Li Yunjing's body, but they could not break his "Heavenly Gang Stone Armor Technique".

Fifteen minutes later, Tian Haifeng's face turned ashen, his legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the ring with a thud!
He was exhausted after casting large-scale spells in succession!

To his despair, Li Yunjing withdrew the "Heavenly Gang Stone Armor Technique" and had no injuries on his body!
His wind and metal magic spells did no harm to Li Yunjing; they couldn't even cut a single hair!
"Senior Brother Li! I admire you! I concede defeat!"

After swallowing two pills, Tian Haifeng regained some strength and then bowed to Li Yunjing, admitting defeat.

"Hmm! Junior brother, you're quite skilled! Keep up the good work, and your future is bright!"

Li Yunjing nodded slightly and offered a word of praise.

Soon, the referee announced that Li Yunjing had won and successfully advanced to the round of 16.

When Li Yunjing returned to the stands, the other arenas were still filled with fierce competition among the various geniuses.

After Li Yunjing chatted with Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi for a quarter of an hour, the battle on the arena below finally ended.

The top sixteen experts from the outer sect were also selected.

Many spectators gradually left, some of them preparing to bet on the quarterfinalists...

We must recoup our initial investment!
"Dangdangdang..."

The round of sixteen to eight resumed a quarter of an hour later.

Li Yunjing's opponent in this round chose to concede defeat.

Li Yunjing's performance was disheartening. This man was wise; he estimated that he couldn't even beat Tian Haifeng, so naturally he couldn't be a match for Li Yunjing.

Before long, Li Yunjing saw Jin Shouyun knocked down on the stage, covered in blood...

"Ugh……"

He shook his head slightly; he had already seen that Jin Shouyun was still breathing, so he put his worries to rest.

Basically, as long as you're not instantly killed, there's a very high chance you'll be rescued.

Jin Shouyun looks alarming, but he should be alright.

In the subsequent quarterfinals, Li Yunjing once again relied solely on his physical strength to defeat his opponent, winning with ease.

The other three matches were fiercely contested, with one match even resulting in both players being injured, and the winner being unable to participate in the semifinals.

The final four players have now been determined.

They were Li Yunjing from the "Scripture Repository"; Ying Qianqian from the "Mind Cultivation Pavilion"; Jin Wuhen from the "Enforcement Hall"; and Liu Minghua from the "Divine Weapon Hall".

The worst off was Liu Minghua from the "Divine Weapon Hall". He advanced, but was covered in injuries and had to say goodbye to tomorrow's final battle.

The remaining three have already secured a spot in the top three.

"Let's go! All that's left is tomorrow's match!"

Li Yunjing was in a great mood and left the training ground with the two women.

The three of them did not go back, but instead wandered around outside the training ground.

Li Yunjing and the others watched with great interest as Fu Chao collected more than a dozen storage bags from a stall...

These are all their treasures!

"How's Fu Chao?"

After Fu Chao finished his work, Li Yunjing and the other two walked towards him. Lü Ruoxi asked curiously.

"Hehe! Do you even need to ask? Let's go! Tonight at 'Donghua Restaurant,' it's on me!"

Fu Chao grinned widely; he was laughing like crazy all day.

He spent the whole day outside busy with other things and didn't even go into the training ground.

It's because business outside is more attractive to him!
Countless spirit stones came into his account. According to the odds, Fu Chao made a huge profit and made a fortune!
"Alright! Let's go to Donghua Tower!"

Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, and Lü Ruoxi said in unison.

Fu Chao's words brought smiles to the faces of all three of them; after all, this involved their investments!
May everyone get rich and everyone be happy!
In the evening, at "Donghua Building".

The arrival of Fu Chao and his group startled everyone at Donghualou, who feared that this troublemaker would cause trouble again.

However, what reassured them was that Fu Chao looked very nice and didn't seem like he was there to cause trouble.

What happened next was exactly as they expected. Fu Chao and his group of four entered their private room, while Li Yunjing and his group of four began ordering food.

This time, no one held back.

Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, and Lü Ruoxi all said that this banquet wouldn't require any extra payment; the cost would come from the proceeds of the event, with everyone contributing together.

Since he was in a good mood, Fu Chao didn't refuse anyone's offer.

Anyway, there's still a long way to go, and there will always be a time when he treats us to a meal.

The banquet was extremely lavish, with all kinds of delicacies from the sky, the ground, and the water, as well as top-quality medicinal cuisine, spiritual wines, and spiritual fruits.

This meal was even more lavish than the last time Fu Chao treated us.

When people make money, they are happy, willing to spend money, and enjoy their food even more.

During their conversation, Li Yunjing and the other two asked Fu Chao about the expected profit figures, and each of them downed three drinks in a row!

After the banquet, Li Yunjing specially asked "Donghualou" for a food box, tableware, and packed some good things.

After bidding farewell to his three true disciples, Li Yunjing took the teleportation array and returned to the southern mountainous area.

He returned to the outer disciples' residential area, inquired with the outer disciples' stewards, and obtained Jin Shouyun's address. Only then did he carry the food box and go to visit Jin Shouyun.

"Senior Brother Li, what brings you here?"

When Jin Shouyun opened the door and saw Li Yunjing, he was greatly surprised.

"Shouyun! How are your injuries?"

Li Yunjing immediately asked Jin Shouyun, then pointed to the food box he was carrying in his left hand and said with a smile, "I just brought it from 'Donghualou,' have a taste!"

"Senior Brother Li, please come in! Thank you for your concern! My injuries are nothing serious, but I'm a little down because of the defeat!"

Jin Shouyun felt a warmth in his heart and stepped aside to invite Li Yunjing inside.

The layout of his house was almost identical to that of Li Yunjing's house.

The residences of outer disciples are all built uniformly by the sect, and are largely the same with little difference.

Li Yunjing followed Jin Shouyun into his living room.

After looking around Jin Shouyun's residence, he realized that, like himself, Jin Shouyun hadn't paid much attention to it, treating the outer gate's residence as a temporary place to live.

After Li Yunjing sat down, he told Jin Shouyun to take good care of his injuries and not leave any aftereffects, while opening the food box and taking out four main dishes.

These are all high-grade delicacies cooked by "Donghualou" using second-tier spiritual materials.

The food boxes from "Donghualou" are particularly impressive, as they are engraved with arrays to ensure the freshness of the ingredients.

The dishes that Li Yunjing took out were almost indistinguishable from those that had been cooked just fifteen minutes ago.

A fragrant aroma wafted up from the four dishes.

"Senior Brother Li, this is far too valuable!"

Smelling the aroma and looking at the dishes on the table, Jin Shouyun was shocked.

He was a genius from the outer sect and a discerning person. Seeing such exquisite dishes, with perfect color, aroma, and taste, he knew that these were not ordinary dishes and could not be bought at ordinary prices.

"What are you talking about!"

Li Yunjing glared at Jin Shouyun with displeasure, but seeing him give a sheepish smile, he let the kid go.

"Even though I was injured, you still came to see me, didn't you?"

"My brother got injured today, and I'm just going to ignore him?"

"You see me as that kind of person?"

Li Yunjing's three consecutive questions left Jin Shouyun blushing and speechless.

In Jin Shouyun's mind, Li Yunjing was a big shot who associated with high-level people. As for himself, a nobody, he had no close relationship with Li Yunjing, so how could Li Yunjing possibly care about him?
But reality proved Jin Shouyun wrong; his superior did remember him.

When he was recovering at home from his injury, he personally visited him with gifts.

How could Jin Shouyun not be moved by this?

"Don't think too much, kid! Just rest and recover. Once you're fully recovered, then break through your cultivation level and become an inner disciple! I remember everything about you. I'll help you find a good job so you won't have any worries..."

Li Yunjing rambled on for a long time before returning home after Jin Shouyun's reluctant farewell.

Jin Shouyun is a genius. His ability to make it into the top 16 of the outer sect competition has already proven his strength.

This is the strongest fighter among Li Yunjing's men.

Li Yunjing genuinely liked this kind of talent, and perhaps Jin Shouyun could become his right-hand man in the future.

After all, there will be more things to do in the future, and Li Yunjing will be unable to handle everything personally. Supporting a few capable individuals has become the most urgent task at present.

……

The next day, the training ground was incredibly lively.

The stands, which can hold 100,000 people, were almost completely full.

It wasn't just Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi by Li Yunjing's side anymore; almost everyone he knew had come.

The five giants, Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, Fu Chao, and Yu Zongzhe, were in front, followed by dozens of inner sect geniuses such as Leng Yuqian, Yang Wenyue, and Yang Wenzheng.

Behind these people were many inner and outer disciples of "Scripture Repository", "Elegant Fragrance Garden", "Qiongze Peak", "Welcoming Peak" and "Brocade Peak".

The procession was quite large, numbering as many as 140 or 150 people!
Of course, not everyone here is an acquaintance of Li Yunjing. There are also acquaintances of acquaintances who came along to get close to Li Yunjing, show their faces in front of this prodigy, make a deeper impression, and make it easier for them to associate with Li Yunjing in the future.

A huge crowd surrounded Li Yunjing, which made many inner and outer disciples look solemn. Only then did they realize that Li Yunjing was more than just a dark horse!
He is a truly formidable figure!
On the platform, the nine elders watched this large group of people enter in a grand procession and couldn't help but reveal amusement.

"It seems this little guy can thrive even without our guidance!"

Old Liu stroked his beard and chuckled, his gaze towards Li Yunjing filled with admiration.

"Excellent! A young prodigy should act like one!"

The woman in the rosy robe nodded slightly, her eyes showing approval.

"Hahaha! Back when we were at the height of our power, every one of us was surrounded by followers and looked incredibly impressive."

Elder Han of the Foreign Affairs Hall was also laughing.

It seems that the person he values ​​has indeed shown remarkable talent, and the "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword" has not been wasted.

The final day of the competition began soon.

Li Yunjing was once again lucky enough to draw Liu Minghua from the "Divine Weapon Hall". Liu Minghua was seriously injured and naturally could not participate in the competition. Li Yunjing made it all the way to the finals.

The contest between Ying Qianqian of "Yangxin Pavilion" and Jin Wuhen of "Law Enforcement Hall" was quite unexpected, as Jin Wuhen was actually defeated by Ying Qianqian in this contest.

A disciple of the "Enforcement Hall," who had been through countless battles, lost to a mysterious female disciple of the "Nourishing Heart Pavilion," causing an uproar at the scene.

Countless people are filled with despair!
You should know that many of them have placed bets on Jin Wuhen!

No one could have imagined that the previously unknown Ying Qianqian would become the winner.

The final match will begin in one hour!
Li Yunjing stood on the arena, looking at the woman opposite him. She had long, flowing hair, an oval face, phoenix eyes, and cherry lips. She was elegant and refined, with an extraordinary temperament.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Li!"

Ying Qianqian spoke softly, her expression calm, seemingly unmoved by Li Yunjing's fame and strength.

"Junior Sister Ying, I am determined to win this decisive battle. Please forgive me if I have been impolite."

Li Yunjing nodded in return, responding calmly.

He was determined to win first place in the finals. Even if Lü Ruoxi came, he wouldn't let her win.

Of course, if it were Yu Yunyi...

"Senior Brother Li, there's no need to hold back! I feel the same way about the finals! Let's have a fair fight and go all out!"

Ying Qianqian remained unmoved, her cold voice echoing throughout the vast training ground.

As the decisive battle approached, the stadium, packed with 100,000 people, fell silent.

Everyone is waiting for this great battle.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Seeing that Ying Qianqian did not seem to intend to make the first move, Li Yunjing's aura suddenly surged, and his figure moved, turning into a series of afterimages, arriving in front of Ying Qianqian like lightning!
His hand, shaped like an eagle's claw, reached out and grabbed at Ying Qianqian's face!

"Boom!"

Li Yunjing's rapid attack even created a sonic boom by stirring up the airflow!
If this blow lands squarely, Ying Qianqian's beautiful face will be ruined!
At this moment, Li Yunjing showed no mercy!
