Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 259: Change of Owner, Incident, and End of the Defence
"Xiao Chen wins this challenge!"

Even though the referee's voice had already sounded, many monks were still a little confused.

They were all still immersed in the scene just now, unable to extricate themselves.

Especially for the large number of independent cultivators present at the scene, today has completely refreshed their worldview.

In the past, in their hearts, a large magic spell that was a thousand feet long was the ideal that many people dreamed of.

However, just now, they witnessed Xiao Chen smashing it to pieces with his bare hands.

So another long while passed.

It was not until the disciples from other sects began to attack that everyone started to discuss one after another.

The wandering cultivators were extremely surprised, and many of them had admiration in their eyes.

Especially some young monks, they deeply engraved the scene just now in their minds.

"They say sword cultivators are unrivaled in attack, but I never thought Fellow Daoist Xiao could actually take a sword strike head-on!"

"From now on, Senior Xiao is my role model. After I return, I will also embark on the path of body training!"

"I heard that the price of Jindanhai fish meat has dropped a lot recently. I can try to buy some and see if I have the talent for body refining."

There are also fathers who place their hopes directly on the next generation.

"I never thought that physical cultivation could be so powerful! If I could have another son, I would definitely train him to cultivate his physical strength from a young age, so that he could emulate Senior Xiao's style in the future."

"Hehe, my son just turned thirteen this year. I was still hesitant at first, but this time when I get back I'm going to let him start learning body training."

The sect disciples focused on Xiao Chen's overly young face.

"Breaking the spell with force, his Qi and blood soaring to the sky, Fellow Daoist Xiao may have already reached the pinnacle of physical skill!"

"Yeah, the key is that he looks so young, probably no more than fifty years old."

"Doesn't that mean he's younger than Master Dielang?"

"Hiss~, could it be that in a few years, a True Lord who is less than fifty years old will appear?"

"Alas, it took me twenty years to cultivate my swordsmanship to a minor level of success. I really don't know how others cultivate it."

"To be honest, I've already spent nearly fifty years just refining my True Essence. Now I'm probably still twenty years away from achieving Golden Core Perfection. There's really no comparison, no comparison!"

Several major sects were discussing this heatedly.

Only the disciples of Tiangang Sect basically remained silent.

As a sect that focuses on body training, they are now busy recalling the records in the sect's scriptures.

No, can physical cultivation really be so powerful?
"I remembered!"

Suddenly someone spoke up, "Back when Kaijiang Patriarch was in the middle stage of the Golden Core, he once broke a 600-foot-long fire dragon with his own strength. If we draw analogies, perhaps we can do something similar?"

Kaiyue Zhenren shook his head: "Just now, Fellow Daoist Xiao faced a sword move, and it was a thousand feet long!"

The improvement from the middle Jindan stage to the late Jindan stage is not enough to make up for such a huge gap.

"That doesn't make sense. Hey, have you heard?"

Someone else suddenly asked, "There was a rumor before that Fellow Daoist Xiao was not actually human!"

"He is most likely a great demon in human form, that's why he possesses such immense strength."

In fact, at first, the disciple regarded this rumor as a joke.

But now, ordinary logic can hardly explain why Xiao Chen, who is also a physical cultivator, can do such an exaggerated thing.

So much so that this statement sounds more credible.

Some monsters are hundreds of feet long, so their qi and blood are naturally abundant, and they are naturally much better than physical cultivators.

Upon hearing this, many disciples of the Tiangang Sect nodded slightly, as if they agreed with it.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Master Kaiyue glared at the disciple and said, "The True Lords are still sitting in the stands. Where did this great demon transform?"

"Besides, isn't this a good thing?"

He changed the subject and began to encourage the fellow disciples around him: "Fellow Daoist Xiao has been able to cultivate to such a level, doesn't it just show that the path of body cultivation has great potential?"

"We all have two eyes and one mouth. Are you so much worse than him?"

"Go back and study harder. Even if you can't reach the same level as Fellow Daoist Xiao, it would be a good thing if you can cultivate to 50% of your strength."

As the eldest brother of the Tiangang Sect, Zhenren Kaiyue’s words are still very convincing.

After listening to this, many junior brothers were indeed inspired to fight.

But they didn't know that when Master Kaiyue said this, he actually felt very weak in his heart.

Most of my junior brothers are in the early or middle stage of the Golden Core Realm and still have room for growth, so naturally they don’t feel it deeply.

As a person who has reached the great perfection of the Golden Core, he has vaguely touched an invisible barrier that has trapped him in the Golden Core realm.

Zhenren Kaiyue had a premonition that as long as he broke through that barrier, it would be the time for him to form a fetus.

But the problem is, I have clearly reached the limit, so why am I still so far away from Xiao Chen?
Is this reasonable?

Fellow Daoist Xiao, that's not right. Could it be that Senior Xiao is a True Lord of the Nascent Soul Realm, deliberately suppressing his realm to tease them?
Compared to some great demon transforming into a human form, Master Kaiyue felt that this possibility was more likely.

Maybe Xiao Chen and several True Lords in the stands know each other.

But he soon had no time to think about these things.

It was already the afternoon of the third day, and several major sects were getting restless.

If he fails to take the stage again, he will really be used as a stepping stone by Chongzhen Temple.

Therefore, the Yuanying Zhenjun in the stands quietly sent a message to the true disciples below to go on stage to attack, and also did not forget to give a few suggestions.

With their keen eyesight, even though they had only watched a few fights, they had already spotted some clues.

The magic techniques of Chongzhen Temple are inherited from ancient times. They follow a righteous approach and emphasize steady and solid progress. They are suitable for the arena but lack more changes internally.

As long as you create as many changes as possible during the fight, you can create opportunities for battle.

As expected, as several elite disciples came on stage, the second arena was finally captured.

Then the third one, the fourth one...

After a while, the other six sects each took over an arena.

In a blink of an eye, only the last side east arena remained in Chongzhen Temple.

The fierce fighting process and the major change in the situation made the casual cultivators below cheer and watch with fascination.

"As expected, I said before that the five major sects were just being modest, but now that they're serious, things are really different."

"Indeed, a new force like Chongzhen Temple is still not as good as the old sects."

"Master Tianjian is truly amazing! That flying sword is truly magical!"

"Which do you think is more powerful, the Thunder Spear of Thunderbolt Spear or the Divine Sword of Heavenly Sword Master?"

During the discussion, some people noticed that there was still one person among the casual cultivators who had not been eliminated.

"Strange, it seems that Fellow Daoist Zhang hasn't joined the challenge yet?"

"Oh, yes, besides Fellow Daoist Xiao, he was the one I had the most confidence in to defend the title."

"Time is running out, isn't it? Why hasn't Fellow Daoist Zhang made a move yet?"

Soon more monks noticed this.

Because Xiao Chen was rumored to be the successor of the hidden Taoist tradition, Zhang Shouquan became the only remaining representative of the independent cultivators.

Everyone was looking at him curiously, and some even shouted encouragement.

"Oh, forget it, let's take a step back."

Noticing everyone's attention, Zhang Shouquan sighed.

He took a reluctant look at the Zhengdong Arena, and then chose the Cedong Arena as his target.

If possible, he would also like to fight for the Taiqing Huaying Glass Pearl.

But the problem is, after witnessing Xiao Chen's inhuman performance, he really doesn't have much confidence now.

Even if you still have some tricks up your sleeve, you may not be able to defeat your opponent.

After all, even the other major sects consciously avoided Xiao Chen, and no one went up to challenge him.

Therefore, after hesitating for a long time, Zhang Shouquan decided to settle for the second best and pick the weakest target.

Even without the advice from Yuanying Zhenjun.

However, after two days of observation, he also discovered some weaknesses of the disciples of Chongzhen Temple.

Xiao Chen was also quite interested in this newly emerged independent cultivator.

Therefore, I paid special attention to Zhang Shouquan's battle process.

It has to be said that Chongzhen Temple was indeed well prepared. At the very beginning of the attack, they took out a third-level Blazing Sun Talisman and activated it, making the entire arena steaming hot.

In this environment, the power of the Ice Dragon is naturally greatly reduced.

However, as mentioned in the intelligence purchased earlier, Zhang Shouquan also has a hidden golden blade technique that is three times more powerful.

In battle, use it unexpectedly.

He directly knocked the disciple from Chongzhen Temple off the stage, securing victory in one fell swoop.

At this point, all eight arenas have changed hands.

This result was obviously in line with the expectations of most monks. Everyone was discussing the battle that had just ended, and no one thought there was anything wrong.

It is a well-known fact that the cultivators from the five major sects are strong.

It was already a surprise that Xiao Chen and Zhang Shouquan, two dark horses, suddenly emerged and mixed in this time.

After this wave of major rotations, the entire arena area suddenly became much quieter.

Although there are still monks who are qualified to challenge the challenge, they are all self-aware and are not prepared to go on stage and humiliate themselves.

If nothing unexpected happens, the current situation will be the final result of this challenge.

After watching Zhang Shouquan's fight, no one continued to attack.

Everyone spontaneously sat cross-legged to regulate their breathing, and at the same time absorbed the insights from the battle.

Xiao Chen was naturally no exception. He sat cross-legged in the middle of the arena and began to meditate again to comprehend his own martial arts.

Although he didn't have much combat experience, it was pointless to just wait there, so he might as well practice for a while to kill time.

In the past, the cultivators below the stage were talking about it, and it was difficult for him to concentrate.

But now with [Star Blessing I], even in the most noisy places, Xiao Chen can enter the state of cultivation at any time as long as he wants.

To be fair, the mere ability to stay focused is actually a very unique ability.

Not to mention that the clear mind can also help him understand the great truth, which is truly worthy of the name of blessing.

It seems that the situation is almost settled.

Several Yuanying Zhenjun in the stands finally started to comment on the performance of the disciples from each school.

"Fellow Daoist Yunfeng is indeed a good disciple. I think this Thunderbolt Looping Spear has improved compared to two months ago."

"Fellow Daoist Tieshan, you are too kind to praise me. I am only using the power of my spiritual weapon to help the sect maintain its reputation. In terms of magic alone, your disciple is still superior."

In such situations, even if you see something, you naturally won't find any flaws.

They all flatter each other, and everyone carries the fancy sedan.

Only Master Heming next to him was still staring at the arena.

At the same time, he was planning in his mind how to deploy personnel to ensure that all eight arenas could be recaptured.

As a Yuanying Zhenjun, he was very sensitive to the changes in the qi on the scene.

Therefore, it was soon noticed that Xiao Chen in the center of the Zhengdong Arena seemed to have entered a state of meditation.

Ok?
Realizing this, Master Heming's pupils shrank slightly. No way?

You know, no matter what, Xiao Chen had just experienced a round of battle.

More importantly, he had just become famous, and at this moment, more than half of the wandering cultivators in the arena were still discussing his performance, and their words were mostly full of praise.

It is said that young people, facing the flattery of the crowd, would find it difficult to remain completely unaffected, even if they do not become proud and complacent.

However, Xiao Chen was not affected by the outside world and was able to remain calm and focus on his cultivation.

It's horrifying to tell others about such a thing!
This extraordinary self-control would be considered normal if it happened to an elderly person who had awakened to the truth, or a middle-aged person who had experienced the vicissitudes of life.

However, looking at that exceptionally young face, Master Heming's heart suddenly became complicated.

On the one hand, he was a little worried because Xiao Chen's performance was too outstanding and he was undoubtedly the most difficult champion to deal with at the moment.

On the other hand, he also felt a little emotional.

No wonder he has such accomplishments at such a young age. His character is truly extraordinary.

He even felt a little regretful.

It's such a pity that such a talented and beautiful person is not from my family.

However, no matter what, the grand plan of Chongzhen Temple's rise cannot be affected.

After careful consideration.

Zhenjun Heming decided to leave the weakest of the eight disciples he had prepared in advance to Zhang Shouquan, whose trump card had been exposed.

The strongest one will be used to deal with Xiao Chen.

Although in terms of hard power, he knew that his disciples were no match.

But it doesn’t matter, each person is allowed to use no more than ten talismans in this competition.

Just leave the Zhengdong Arena to be dealt with last, and then bring ten talismans specifically designed to restrain physical cultivators onto the stage.

He also replaced the spiritual weapon in his hand with a special spiritual weapon that could limit the performance of physical cultivation.

This creates an unfair duel.

Zhenjun Heming believed that with the help of such favorable conditions, his disciples would be able to successfully defeat Xiao Chen and regain the stage.

From today onwards, Chongzhen Temple will surely become famous in the sea of ​​compassion!
Time passes evenly.

Soon there was only one hour left before the end of the challenge.

Some independent cultivators have even stood up and prepared to leave, after all, the outcome seems to be already determined.

However, at this moment, a disciple from Chongzhen Temple came out and started attacking again.

This sudden change instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"What's going on? Is there a fight to watch?"

"The one wearing the robe is a disciple of Chongzhen Temple. Could it be that they have a hidden trick up their sleeve?"

"You actually chose to start your challenge from the Cangming Immortal Sect. I thought you would compete for Fellow Daoist Zhang's position."

Some smart people had actually guessed it a long time ago. Since Chongzhen Temple proposed the challenge, it would definitely not end so abruptly.

Originally, each of the seven major sects should have its own arena, and everyone should be happy.

It would be better to leave one spot for independent cultivators to demonstrate the fairness of the arena.

There have been similar competitions before. No matter what the process is, it always ends up the same way, and everyone is getting tired of it.

But surprisingly, this time Chongzhen Temple did not act according to the established script.

They did not attack the individual cultivators, but chose to attack the Cangming Immortal Sect.

What was even more unexpected was that the newly appeared disciple of Chongzhen Temple won cleanly and neatly.

Although the gap in hard power between the two sides is not that big, the combination of talismans and magic weapons almost creates a crushing effect.

In less than half a cup of tea, the disciple of Cangming Immortal Sect who was defending with gritted teeth was knocked off the stage.

"No way, is the gap in strength so huge?"

"The spiritual weapon from Chongzhen Temple looks really powerful. It seems to be particularly compatible with my own martial arts!"

"Something's wrong, why is it still going on?"

Everyone noticed that after taking back an arena, Chongzhen Temple did not stop, but continued to send people to challenge the Mozhang Sect next to it.

It also takes less than half a cup of tea.

The violent lightning on the ring burned Thunderbolt Spear's robe into ashes.

"So far, I have lost."

True Lord Yunfeng spoke in time, and with a wave of his hand, he easily penetrated the defensive formation outside the ring and grabbed the Thunderbolt Spear, who was gritting his teeth and ready to fight to the death, directly from the stage.

Judging from the situation, Chongzhen Temple was obviously well prepared.

There is no need to let one's own disciples continue to persevere at the risk of injury.

Of course, this is also because he loves this disciple. If it was a lower-ranking disciple, he would definitely not bother to care.

Next it was Qianji Valley's turn, then Tiangang Sect, then Yuntao Sword House, and finally even Zhaokong Sect was not spared.

The standard robes of Chongzhen Temple once again fluttered on the stage, catching the eyes of everyone present.

"Friend Zhang, I advise you to admit defeat."

The seventh Chongzhen Temple disciple, standing on the eastern side of the ring, even began to directly persuade the opponent to surrender: "It's already quite good that you are here on the stage. Even if you admit defeat, it's not shameful."

"It's better than stepping down with injuries or even suffering from sequelae."

It sounded like he had good intentions, but in fact, every member of Chongzhen Temple had been saying the same thing since the challenge to the Thunderbolt Spear.

In essence, this method is used to demonstrate the prestige of Chongzhen Temple.

If Zhang Shouquan really admits defeat.

Afterwards, Chongzhen Temple could publicize the extraordinary power of their magic, which could even scare off the selected representatives of independent cultivators from thousands of people in the competition.

"No need, let's get started!"

Zhang Shouquan took a deep breath and firmly refused to admit defeat.

As a casual cultivator, fighting for resources is commonplace, and this time is no exception.

"Boom~!"

As the red cloth ball fell to the ground, the disciples of Chongzhen Temple immediately repeated their old tricks and activated the Chiyang Talisman.

But this time, he actually summoned a Blazing Sun Spirit Shield to protect himself.

It was obviously designed to counter the golden blade secret technique that Zhang Shouquan had previously exposed.

Under such a disadvantage, the outcome of the battle was almost one-sided.

However, Zhang Shouquan always refused to retreat.

Even though his robe was torn and the sword energy even scratched his left arm, he persisted and tried his best to survive in the ring.

"Don't insist, or my flying sword will show no mercy!"

The disciple of Chongzhen Temple did what he said and used all his strength to drive the flying sword forward to kill.

However, at the moment of life and death, Zhang Shouquan's whole temperament changed, his speed suddenly increased by three points, and he easily avoided the sword energy.

Then, he slapped his hand on the ground and said, "Use my blood to transform it into a mysterious talisman!"

"Array up!"

Xiao Chen, who was closest to the arena, saw clearly that the blood beads on the arena suddenly burst into light.

A mysterious rune floated out of every drop of blood spilled before.

These runes appeared at the same time, echoing each other, and actually formed a simple formation.

Although it is a simple formation, and the spiritual power contained in the blood drops is very little, its duration is also quite limited.

However, with the support of the formation, it is enough to bring power beyond the limit of the third level.

This will be the decisive force!

"Bang~!"

Zhang Shouquan simply raised his hand and pushed, actively detonating the formation.

A strong burst of blood light instantly blew the Chongzhen Temple disciple away.

He first bumped into the defensive formation, then fell to the ground and fell into a coma.

After doing all this, Zhang Shouquan half-knelt on the ground, his face pale, and his rapid breathing was clearly audible. It was obvious that he was not feeling well.

In any case, the blood he spilled on the ring while setting up the formation is really gone.

"Wow, he actually has this trick!"

Xiao Chen on the side was a little surprised. He had seen Zhang Shouquan fall down and thought that he was going to lose.

I didn't expect that he would get injured on purpose to set a trap.

More importantly, the other party actually has such a high level of attainment in formation.

This result obviously caught everyone present off guard. After all, no one expected to encounter a super genius who had enough blood to set up a formation among the casual cultivators.

"I have a healing elixir here, my friend, please accept it!"

The True Lord Iron Fan in the stands actually took out a fourth-level elixir on the spot and tried to win over Zhang Shouquan.

"Shichang, what are you still standing there for?"

Heming Zhenjun suddenly reminded: "The time is coming!"

Since Zhang Shouquan had persisted for quite some time, there was only a quarter of an hour left before the end of the attack.

The disciple named Shi Chang immediately stepped onto the Zhengdong Arena: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, time is running out. I urge you to admit defeat."

"I will definitely not hold back, nor will I give you the chance to set up a formation."

"If I hurt you, you'll have to bear the consequences!"

Ok?
Xiao Chen wanted to laugh when he heard this, but he didn't waste any more words: "Let's get started!"

"Boom~!"

The red cloth ball fell to the ground.

Four talismans instantly flew out of the other party's hands.

When the two pieces fell on the ring, the entire ground immediately became like a swamp. Not only was there no leverage, there was even a sticky suction force.

The other two hanging in the air exploded, and white light immediately filled the entire arena.

It seemed as if hundreds of spider webs had formed between the two of them.

If you want to break through, you need to break through these layers of obstacles.

It can be seen that the opponent has also used his real skills in targeting physical cultivators. The choice of these two talismans can be said to be very suitable for the environment of the arena.

"Boom~!"

Another dull thud of something heavy falling was heard.

The two sounds almost completely overlapped, so much so that the second muffled sound even covered up the sound of the talisman exploding.

"It looks like it will take less than a quarter of an hour. There's plenty of time."

Xiao Chen calmly retracted his fist. In the spider-web-like white light behind him, a large human-shaped hole was clearly visible.

They do pose some obstacles, but it is far from enough!

True Lord Heming completely underestimated his strength.

With the hundredfold blessing of Hextech, the gap between the two has become like a chasm that cannot be filled by just a few talismans.

Unless one activates a hundred or eighty cards at a time, perhaps it will still have some effect.

The entire arena area fell into an eerie silence, so quiet that even the sound of breathing could not be heard.

Until the hourglass next to him made a crisp "ding" sound.

Announce that the defense is over.
