In the world of martial arts, there is a vast fantasy world.

Chapter 137 A Grand Scene

Juan didn't stay there for long. He took the things Shen Xing had given him, along with the contract, and left immediately.

However, looking at his back, Shen Xing could sense that Lao Hu's steps seemed both light and heavy.

This contract solved many of his serious problems, but it also created many more equally serious ones.

However, for Shen Xing, it solved a major problem.

After that, he only needs to learn the martial arts essence that is worth learning, and he no longer needs to learn for money.

Of course, Juan alone is still not enough.

We also need to train Xiaoling as soon as possible. Besides, once he becomes stronger and has more people, and his power is truly established, he can control more people through systems, which is safer than relying on friendship or trust.

In short...

Once you reach a higher level, many problems that seemed troublesome at first will no longer seem troublesome.

That's why Shen Xing kept looking up.

"Go cultivate." He glanced at Lu Lan's message, but didn't reply or wait any longer. He returned directly to the other world to continue his cultivation.

Anyway, for a prodigy like him, turning off terminal information while cultivating is perfectly normal.

And this wait lasted for two days.

It wasn't until the third day that I saw Lu Lan's message.

However, the content of the message made Shen Xing frown slightly.

I made a call directly.

"Shen Xing, are you getting impatient?" Lu Lan's voice came through the phone.

"No, but what did you mean in your message?" Shen Xing asked directly, "Why would I need to compete with others?"

"As I mentioned before, there are quality differences in these organ vitality enhancement potions. Due to the limited availability of raw materials, the production quantity is extremely limited," Lu Lan explained. "The one we applied for for you is the highest quality, with enhancement effects more than ten times that of the ordinary level! It can also significantly improve the cultivation progress during the Organ Refining stage. Only fifty of these can be allocated to the entire academy's home planet each year, so the competition is indeed quite fierce."

Upon hearing the number "fifty," Shen Xing suddenly realized what was happening.

There may be more, but only fifty have been officially allocated.

This is ten times the effect; it's easy to imagine that many geniuses wouldn't let it go.

"Alright then." Shen Xing finally accepted this explanation. "Both the skin training class and the muscle training class are competing for equipment and resources, so it's normal for the innate class to compete as well."

"Yes, I have confidence in you. Besides, it's not like you're directly competing with all the geniuses on the entire mother planet," Lu Lan said. "I've checked, and this batch of competitors has already been selected. There are already twelve people competing for one spot, so don't put too much pressure on yourself. Even if you don't win, you can still participate in the next round, and the secondary round will have five times the effect."

"The secondary level is only five times the original value?" Shen Xing couldn't help but gasp.

This is a difference of 100%, which is probably hard for top geniuses to accept.

He couldn't accept it either.

It seems we absolutely must fight for this!

Lu Lan was speechless when she heard him say "only five times left".

In her opinion, five times is already very strong. Even if it is five times, few students from their Linjiang School have been able to achieve it in previous years.

Perhaps, this is what genius is all about.

"When will it start?" Shen Xing asked again.

"It's a one-week cycle, so we have to wait another three days. Maybe a few more people will join in those three days," Lu Lan said, glancing at the time.

"Okay!" Shen Xing nodded. "Send me the address, I'll go there myself."

"Okay." Lu Lan sent the address directly. "I'm going with you too."

Shen Xing glanced at the map. This time, he was going to a school called "Yozakura Academy," which was located on an island. The reason for choosing this place was that three students from this school were selected for this competition.

Judging from this location, it seems to belong to the cultural sphere of a neighboring country in my previous life.

In the current era of the Human Federation, the distinction between nations has long since disappeared, but the concept of cultural spheres still exists.

The entire population of the Federation is roughly divided into one large and one small cultural sphere.

This is also a decision to avoid cultural conflict and the loss of cultural heritage.

Some smaller cultures even retain traditional languages, but they are not commonly used, and fewer and fewer people are learning them.

Linjiang City, where Shen Xing is located, naturally belongs to one of the two major cultural spheres: Chinese culture.

Therefore, many things are related to his previous life.

Language, customs, habits.

Even if human civilization achieves great unification, internal competition will still exist. Competition between different cultural spheres has extended from the international competition of the past to the present day. It has to be said that Shen Xingdu has been ignited with even more motivation.

"With only three days left, there's not much left to break through. I should store up more Yuan energy," Shen Xing pondered.

This is something only a genius like him could do.

Even if one cannot make one's Yuan Power flow endlessly like a Xiantian expert, one can still forcibly condense some Yuan Power within the body by relying on powerful divine soul power. Especially for those who possess the second realm of intent, combined with the second realm of martial arts intent, it is enough to unleash moves that are no less than those of the Xiantian level in a short period of time.

Whether one can overcome innate talent depends on the power and endurance of this technique.

That's why it tests one's foundation.

Coincidentally, Shen Xing had full confidence in his own abilities.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

"We'll just take a flying car there; it won't take long," Lu Lan said. "Do you have a flying car? Or would you like to ride with me?"

"Take my seat, I just bought it," Shen Xing said with a smile.

"Okay." Lu Lan sent him an address.

Upon first meeting, Lu Lan's eyes widened as she looked you up and down, then she couldn't help but laugh, "I was thinking of reminding you, but it turns out I was worrying for nothing. With your Yuan Power, I thought I was seeing a Xiantian expert."

To say that one can rival a master of innate strength is definitely a joke.

But Shen Xing shook his head and said, "Let's talk about how to compete, so we don't end up with a series of matches."

"Don't worry, four more people have joined in the last three days, making it four groups. To win, each person has to play all four matches."

Shen Xing nodded slightly.

As the flying car sped along, even a flight that would have taken several hours in my previous life took less than an hour this time.

It can only be said that transportation is one of the areas where technology is most prominently displayed.

Looking down at the city below, even Shen Xing was momentarily stunned.

"They must really love cherry blossoms."

Indeed, looking around, the entire city is filled with blooming cherry blossoms, and judging from the current season, these cherry blossoms are clearly a special variety.

The air is filled with a special fragrance.

I have to say, at first glance, it's quite beautiful.

However, considering issues such as aesthetic fatigue and decay, Shen Xing could only say that it's better to be more normal.

"These are all controllable, and they don't bloom all the time." Lu Lan was also a little puzzled. "In this season, the wind is strong, so they shouldn't choose to bloom."

But as the flying car approached its destination, a huge martial arts arena, Shen Xing keenly noticed several aircraft flying towards his spaceship.

It's not a POD, but a fully automated flying camera device!

At the same time, a loud and impassioned voice rang out clearly.

"Alright, another school's prodigy has arrived. Let's see, this is the number one prodigy from Linjiang School, named Shen Xing! Welcome, Shen Xing, to our Night Cherry Blossom School!"

"What the heck?" Shen Xing was completely stunned.

Only then did he notice that the martial arts arena below was packed with people! Countless students had already filled every nook and cranny!

It was quite a grand scene.

Shen Xing couldn't help but turn to look at Lu Lan, but Lu Lan also looked completely bewildered.

"Wait, let me ask you something." She opened her personal terminal and sent out a series of questions.

Soon, he showed a strange expression, as if he were constipated.

"The person in charge at Night Sakura School said that this competition is likely the prelude to the ranking competition for the top talents of the 4032 freshmen class. The participants are all top talents from various schools, so the scene needs to be grand to match your level and to show the enthusiasm of Night Sakura School."

"..." Shen Xing was also speechless. "Even so, shouldn't they have given us advance notice?"

"They said they wanted to give you a surprise," Lu Lan couldn't hold back any longer and said directly, "I think they just want to take advantage of their home field, put psychological pressure on you, and promote their own school at the same time. Otherwise, why didn't they notify us? Do we, Linjiang School, need a few more people to support us? The audience here are all students from Yeying School! They're just using some underhanded tactics!"

It was clear that Lu Lan really wanted to curse.

The main problem was that they were completely unprepared.

She had no idea what was going on, and the audience in front of her was someone she had been notified to gather at the last minute.

Moreover, some exceptional talents may not be willing to show their faces, so this method can be described as going to great lengths.

"It seems they're determined to succeed." Shen Xing narrowed his eyes slightly. "Aren't they afraid their own school's prodigy will slip up?"

That's right. If we create such a scene and other schools end up snatching the resources, we'll lose face completely.

If we weren't confident of taking first place, we wouldn't have the confidence to do this.

"That's right! Take them down!" Lu Lan raised her hand and slapped Shen Xing's shoulder hard. "Take them down? That's a joke."

"Hehe." Shen Xing chuckled twice.

Perhaps some exceptional talents might be afraid of such a scene, but he certainly wouldn't.

This will only fuel his fighting spirit.

With such confidence, he was determined to get his hands on this top-tier pharmaceutical resource!

What do we have to fear from the prodigies of other schools?

If he's going to compete, he'll only compete for the strongest!

The flying car had landed steadily. Shen Xing was not the first to arrive. There were more than a dozen huge projections in front of him, projecting the figures of all the other contestants who had arrived. The four at the front were the four prodigies of Night Cherry Blossom School. Each of their projections looked majestic and awe-inspiring.

In contrast, the rest of the people looked quite ordinary.

Shen Xing even chose a projection of someone wearing an ordinary school uniform, and it was a photo from before he entered high school, which he didn't know where he found it from.
