This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 264: The Leader's Appointment, Dream Talk

"You lost."

Li Fei held the knife in both hands and hovered it above Meng Tao's head.

Meng Tao looked incredulous until Li Fei took back the knife. Then he realized:
"Vision?"

He didn't think that Li Fei could remain unscathed from that move just now. The only explanation he could think of was that what he had just hit was just an illusion.

Li Fei nodded.

From the very beginning, he used his enhanced Vajra Power to charge forward despite all the damage, giving Meng Tao a very 'reckless' impression, making the other party think that he was just going to force a fight.

Then, before getting close, he used his 'Danger Sense' to predict that Meng Tao would make a powerful burst of attacks, so he immediately used his newly activated core-level supernatural ability - Shadow.

At that moment just now, Li Fei performed a "Shadow Separation": controlling the shadow clone to continue rushing forward, while his real body stayed where it was.

The shadow clone contains his mental power, qi, blood and strength. Meng Tao does not have the core-level supernatural ability of perception, so it is difficult for him to distinguish the real from the fake.

But there was suddenly an extra "person", and Meng Tao couldn't have been unaware of it, so Li Fei used Vajra Seal·Treasure Bottle at the same time as casting "Shadow", allowing the main body to restrain all its breath.

It is extremely difficult to control core-level supernatural powers and top-level martial arts such as the Vajra Seal at the same time. Li Fei was able to do this after undergoing training from Master Cai Ming, and his [Phantom Leaf] reached the Divine Transformation Stage and his mental power was further enhanced.

The shadow clone continued to move forward, while the original body stayed where it was and restrained its breath. Combined with the illusion that Li Fei deliberately created for him, this caused Meng Tao to misjudge at that moment and decisively released his Taoist power.

The martial arts masters and grandmasters present naturally understood all of this, and many of them found it somewhat funny.

Xiao Nalanzhi's plan failed.

In fact, even Li Fei himself didn't expect that his "normal attack" could trick a "big move".
He thought Meng Tao was just going to use a normal burst of power, and was ready to fight him for more than ten rounds, but the opponent made a big move and then fell into a short "weak period". So he naturally would not miss this opportunity, and won with just one move.

"I see."

Meng Tao laughed at himself and bowed to Li Fei, "You win."

Then he turned around and walked back with a lonely look on his face.

If he didn't have a mission to accomplish and didn't want to defeat Li Fei as quickly as possible, he wouldn't have been defeated so quickly.

However, Li Fei can display the ability of shadow clone, and can also hide his real body completely so that he cannot be detected.

Based on this point alone, he knew that even if he continued to fight, he would most likely not be a match for Li Fei.

The core-level supernatural powers stimulated by the same implant vary from person to person, because the core-level supernatural powers are the power stimulated after the deep integration of the implant and the human body, and are related to factors such as the person's physique, cultivation, strength, mental strength, etc.

So even though Nalan Zhi knew in advance that Li Fei had incorporated [Youzu], he had no way of predicting what core-level supernatural abilities Li Fei would unleash.

“It’s wonderful!”

Chi Xu, a martial arts master whom they had met before, had no intention of saving face for Hongyi University. He clapped hard and praised loudly.

Li Fei's victory seemed to be a coincidence, but in fact, the confrontation just now contained a lot of things:

Psychological misleading, technical manipulation, timing selection, tactical application, etc.

Even in the eyes of martial arts masters, it would be considered wonderful, especially for a young man like Li Fei.

"Well, it's really wonderful!"

At the main table, the prince began to applaud.

He led the applause, and the others followed suit.

Only Nalan Zhi had a gloomy expression.

The prince stood up with a smile and walked out from behind the main table. Two eunuchs followed him, one of them holding a bottle of elixir in both hands, and the other holding a wooden box in both hands.

"As expected of you, you are a peerless genius. These are all yours."

The prince walked up to Li Fei, took the pills and wooden box from the two eunuchs, and handed them to Li Fei personally.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Li Fei took the two items and saluted to the prince.

"That's right. I think you'll win this martial arts exchange competition!"

The prince was not polite, he patted Li Fei's arm affectionately and said with a smile.

This made everyone present look strange.

If this was just a competition among the thirteen universities, with the strength Li Fei showed today, he would have a good chance of winning.

But this exchange competition involves the participation of the three Taoist sects.

Although the restriction of the competition is that the age of all university students and sect disciples cannot exceed 25 years old, even for disciples under 25 years old, the three Taoist sects are still full of talented people!

In the first competition, the top three were all Taoist disciples, and only two of the top eight were university students:
A Wang Fengqing from Wuhan University.

A talented student from Moyun University is over 25 years old this year and can no longer participate.

This year, not only the three Taoist sects are participating, but also Pudu Temple, which is a thousand-year-old sect!

As it is the first time that it has the opportunity to appear in public, Pudu Temple will definitely send out its 'strongest lineup'.

Under such circumstances, the prince actually said in public that he was optimistic about Li Fei winning the championship?

No matter how great he was in history, he was only 18 years old after all.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Li Fei saluted again calmly.

The prince is actually over 30 years old, but he takes good care of himself and looks young.

The more he looked at the young man, the more he liked him.

He had seen many arrogant and defiant geniuses. Although he could tolerate their tempers, it was rare to see a humble and upright genius like Li Fei. The more he saw him, the happier he was.

"Well, I'll set you another prize. If you can win the competition, I'll give you one of the volumes of the Vajra Sutra from the royal collection!"

He could see that Li Fei was practicing Vajra Power. Since it was Vajra Power, "Vajra Eight Parts" was the most suitable martial art for Li Fei!

At that time, Pudu Temple handed over four of the "Eight Parts of Vajra Sutra", and all four of them were in the imperial palace.

Later, twelve universities were established, and the royal family gave these four divisions to four universities respectively.

The prince knew that Wu Da had the "Red Voice Fire Vajra Method", and the one he wanted to give Li Fei was one of the other three copies.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Li Fei saluted again, and this time there was finally some joy on his face.

He was truly happy; this 'business trip' was really the right one!

"Your Highness."

At this moment, True Lord Qingxu at the main table suddenly spoke:

"Your Highness, does this jackpot also work for others?"

A top-level inheritance like "The Eight Trigrams of Vajra" would never be too much even for the Daluo Sect.

The prince turned around and looked at Master Qingxu and said with a smile:

“Naturally it works.”

These words also brought a hint of smile to Qingxu Zhenjun's face:
"Then I would like to thank Your Highness for his generosity on behalf of all the Daluo Sect disciples participating in this competition."

The implication is that the leader this time must belong to the Daluo Sect! "Amitabha."

Huikong Arhat, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up, "Your Highness, what if my Buddhist disciple wins the first place?"

Pudu Temple has the complete inheritance of the "Eight Divisions of Vajra", so naturally it does not need the prize offered by the prince.

The prince looked at Huikong Arhat and said with a smile:
"If a Buddhist disciple wins the first prize, he can enter my royal library and choose any secret book of his choice."

"Amitabha, I would like to thank Your Highness for your generosity on behalf of the Buddhist disciples."

Arhat Huikong also said so.

The competition has not even started yet, but Buddhism and Taoism have already begun to compete with each other.

And he doesn't care about anyone else!
In the following time, the banquet finally returned to normal and nothing happened again.

Master Qingxia continued the toast that was interrupted before.

After representatives from all the universities toasted to Master Qingxu and the Crown Prince, the banquet was coming to an end.

Late at night, Li Fei took the prize he won back to the villa where he lived and returned to his room.

He opened the wooden box and took out a thick leather coat with white cloud patterns and gold thread edges.

This is the Yunmeng Golden Threaded Clothes, specially supplied to the royal family!
Li Fei already has a level 5 protective suit made of the scales of a demonic unicorn tiger, but that suit was for the green-faced ghost, so it would not be suitable for his original body to wear it.

Now that I have this Yunmeng Golden Threaded Robe, the equipment I use is better than that of the 'Green-Faced Ghost'.

"If it's broken and needs to be repaired, we may have to contact the prince. His style really likes to work silently."

Li Fei thought as he took off the level 5 protective clothing he was wearing.

Even level six protective clothing can be damaged, but as long as the damage is not large-scale, it can be repaired.

He had previously worn that scale armor to fight with Gu Yuefeng. After the battle, the scale armor was damaged in many places and is now being repaired at Zhang's house.

When making this level 5 protective clothing, the Zhang family's craftsmen deliberately left behind some raw materials in order to use them to repair the protective clothing in the future.

But Li Fei didn't have the raw materials for the Yunmeng Golden Threaded Clothes that he had obtained. Only the royal family had them. And the only person in the royal family that he knew was the Crown Prince. So if he wanted to repair the protective clothing in the future, he would have to contact the other party.

In this way, both parties will naturally have the opportunity to establish personal relationships.

Compared with other bigwigs, the prince's methods of winning over people seem very detailed and not offensive.

After changing his clothes, Li Fei began to practice in the room.

In the next few days, everyone began to discuss the specific matters of this martial arts exchange competition:

How the competition system is arranged, how many people can participate at most, how to determine the winner, how to ensure the safety of the participants, what are the rewards for each ranking, etc.

As the organizers of this competition, Shangqing Sect and Tianqu University naturally have the most say and can gain more benefits for themselves.

The most intuitive advantage is also a default unspoken rule: as the organizer, you can have the most places to participate.

Li Fei left all these matters to Ke Yan. He stayed in the house to practice every day and rarely went out.

On the third night of his stay in Daluo Sect, Li Fei practiced "Return to Oneness" in the house as usual.

Now, the progress of [Youzu]'s return to oneness has been completed by almost one-fifth. After returning, Li Fei only needs to go into seclusion for five or six days, and he should be able to completely complete this "return to oneness".

After completing today's 'Return to Oneness', and waiting for his injuries to heal, and after the 'channel' occupied by the innate Qi was stabilized, Li Fei began to practice [Phantom Leaf].

Out of caution, he first set up a breath-retaining formation in the room, then took the medicine and began to visualize.
In a trance, Li Fei came to a fog.

"Ok?"

He froze for a moment.

What he had visualized was clearly a towering tree that reached straight to the sky, so how come the scene changed so suddenly?

"The box is empty!"

"The box is empty!"

Suddenly, a man's voice came from the depths of the fog.

"who?"

Li Fei asked loudly.

"The box is empty!"

The voice coming from deep in the fog just kept repeating this sentence.

Li Fei frowned, quickly calmed down, and began to visualize the 'Red Voice Fire Vajra'.

The next second, a majestic image of a fierce-looking Vajra appeared in the mist.

This statue of Dharma stands tall and upright, and its height is probably tens of thousands of meters!
Roar--

A golden dragon that was also ten thousand meters long appeared and surrounded the Dharma image. The huge Sanskrit chanting completely covered up the sound coming from the fog.

The fog gradually dissipated under the cover of Buddha's light.
On the bed, Li Fei opened his eyes and immediately grasped the Ghost Slayer Sword placed beside him, showing a guarded posture.

He waited quietly in the room for a while, but nothing happened and nothing unusual occurred to him.

"Dream-entering technique?"

Li Fei frowned.

He practiced the magic of the Nightmare Sect, and had already trained [Illusion Leaf] to the Divine Transformation Stage. With a little recollection, he was sure that he had been hit by the 'Dream Entering Technique' just now.

This type of magic is the specialty of the Nightmare Sect.

"Could it be that someone from the Nightmare Sect discovered me?"

Li Fei thought to himself.

But this speculation was quickly dismissed.

If it is true that the people from the Nightmare Sect have discovered him and know that their most precious treasure is in his possession, then the best thing to do is to make plans in secret and wait for the opportunity, rather than alerting the enemy in advance like they are doing now.

"If the Nightmare Sect didn't find me, then who could have used the dream-entering technique on me? Why did they choose me?"

Li Fei fell into deep thought.

But there was too little known information, so he could only speculate that maybe it was because he had the Ru Meng Ling on him, or maybe it was because he had just been practicing the Nightmare Sect's visualization method and something had been triggered.

"What does it mean that the box is empty?"

Li Fei recalled the voice that came repeatedly in the fog and was still confused.

"Ask Zhao Yi when you get back."

In the end, Li Fei decided not to waste time on random guesses.

The Nightmare Sect is good at entering dreams and interpreting dreams. If he goes back to ask Zhao Yi, perhaps he will gain something.

On the fifth day, all matters concerning the Second Martial Arts Exchange Competition were finally finalized, and Li Fei and others could finally return.

"The first place winner of this competition will receive a level 5 protective suit and a customizable level 5 alien weapon!"

On the way back, Ke Yan said to Li Fei:
"The first place winner in the last session only had a level 5 protective suit, but this time there is an additional level 5 special weapon that can be customized. The court is really generous! Add to that the prize promised by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, whoever wins the championship will make a fortune!"

PS: Sorry, I have another social event in the evening, so I can only update once today. I will try to make up for it tomorrow.
