With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 214 The True Dragon of Fengtian, the Steel Spear of Yong'an! (3k)

Although the number of participants in the second stage was reduced by half, all of them were top-notch competitors from all nine stages.

When two opponents are evenly matched, a fight can easily last two or three hours.

Taking into account factors such as recuperation and injury recovery, apart from the revival round, each player only needs to participate in one match per day.

Time flies, and the competition is now in its fifth day.

The round of 16 to 8, the most crucial qualifying match for the contestants, is about to begin.

If they fail to win this round, they will be completely out of contention for a top-three seed.

Furthermore, they will have to participate in the subsequent revival round to compete for the last two final spots.

The intensity of the second stage clearly demonstrates the significant role of seeded players, which not only saves them considerable energy but also reduces the probability of injury.

Not everyone possesses the same level of top-tier hard skills to protect their body as Meng Chuan and Jueming Xiaoseng.

Meng Chuan also had to fight for a seed spot and get the 20 million from Hanhai Company.

The ten players, including Meng Chuan, were highly anticipated by the prediction blogger in the previous few days' competition.

Apart from two who were eliminated in the internal battle, all eight remaining players advanced to this round.

Everyone was waiting for the host to warm up the crowd before the draw for today's matches began.

Backstage, Meng Chuanzheng was with Master Zhao's disciple.

The two had not met before, but thanks to the five-day competition, their relationship gradually became familiar.

Wang Ye appears aloof on the outside, but it turns out he's actually quite the repressed pervert.

He was standing next to Meng Chuan, pointing and commenting on the other contestants.

"Tsk tsk tsk, there are even people wearing black stockings to compete, I really like that."

"."

Meng Chuan followed his gaze and saw a hot girl carrying a three-section staff on her back.

He nodded secretly.

I knew it! Master Zhao didn't look like a proper Taoist priest, so it would be strange if his direct disciples were proper.

Meng Chuan only had a slight interest in yoga pants; the black stockings were alright, but after a couple of glances, they lost interest.

The female warrior turned her head and saw someone staring at her from behind. She then swayed her hips and walked away, her three-section staff clanging behind her.

Wang Ye said listlessly:
"Tsk tsk, they won't even let people watch it. By the way, Xiao Meng, have you seen that prediction blogger's video? It's got over ten million likes now."

Meng Chuan nodded in response. He was curious to hear how the host outside would introduce himself.

But this thing was buzzing around in front of me like a fly.
"Based on your performance in the past few days, I think there's something wrong with our rankings."

"Leaving aside those three freaks, I should at least be fourth, and you fifth."

Meng Chuan's doubts:

"Why am I fifth and you're fourth? Master Wang, you're getting a little cocky."

Wang Ye laughed it off:

"It's fine, fourth or fifth place is the same. We can't beat the predicted top three anyway, so there's no point in us arguing."

Meng Chuan glanced at the guy, then walked aside and closed his eyes to rest.

He's aiming for the number one seed; he's never thinking about fourth or fifth.

"Zheng Chengcheng, Jueming, Xu Nuo"

None of these three are easy to deal with; their full strength has not yet been revealed, making it impossible to gauge their true abilities.

Strategically despise the enemy, tactically take them seriously. Having received prior advice from Master Luo, Meng Chuan will not underestimate anyone.

"I have the most information about Zheng Chengcheng. Her fist and sword skills are top-notch, and she has the [Cloud Dragon] trait that has not yet been shown."

Yun Conglong is also one of the top qualities suitable for practicing the Dragon Form Fist.

Second only to the former president of the Southern Associated University, the "Nine-Finger Dragon's Fury".

Whether considering the boost to martial arts talent or actual combat performance, it is far superior to Meng Jiaolong's [Awakening of Insects] trait.

Meng Chuan's thoughts on Zheng Chengcheng's threat level coincided with those of the blogger.

Meng Chuan did notice some weaknesses in Jue Ming and Xu Nuo.

"This young monk is quite strong, but among the strongest contestants, he is the weakest."

He was invincible solely due to his perfected external martial arts skills. But he's doomed when he encounters me.”

He felt that he was the nemesis of Buddhism, and that he was no less physically imposing than the other.

Moreover, with his practical combat traits like penetration, stacking damage, and armor penetration, Meng Chuan wanted to see if Jue Ming could withstand it.
After a period of rest and adjustment, Meng Chuan had reached his peak condition.

He looked at the big screen, where the matching results appeared.

Meng Chuan (Sanqin) vs. Xu Nuo (Fengtian)

"Senior Xu from Fengtian Headquarters".

Unexpectedly, it was him, but Meng Chuan stretched his neck and his fighting spirit soared!
Wang Ye was overjoyed to have been matched with the girl in black stockings.

Seeing Meng Chuan's matching result again, he walked up to him with a smile and encouraged him:
"Xiao Meng, try your best to win the revival match. I'll be going ahead now."

Meng Chuan said calmly:

"You better pray that if you win this game, you don't run into me in the next one."

After saying that, Meng Chuan got up and headed to the stadium tunnel.

He and Xu Nuo were both star players in this competition and were placed in the first game to warm up the crowd.

Wang Ye raised an eyebrow, his expression suspicious.

"Does this kid really think he can win?"

He possessed the Taoist secret technique of "Qi Observation," and every time he looked at the black-handled Tang sword in Xu Nuo's hand, he felt a pang of fear.

In terms of danger, Xu Nuo should be number one in this competition!

Meanwhile, in Jiyuan, Henan Province.

This place is located on the western side of the southern end of the Taihang Mountains, and an uninvited guest has arrived at the foot of the mountain.

A figure stopped at this spot, and after a moment, a person with a slender scabbard at his waist slowly approached.

"A bit late, Master Li is a little late," the man teased.

The man with the knife slowly approached, lifted the straw hat on his head, and revealed himself to be Li Xiao, who had committed a heinous crime in the lair of the [Jiaomo]!

"I apologize, Master Chen, there was a slight delay on the way."

Lately, I haven't seen any activity from your Heavenly Realm. What's wrong? Are you scared off by the Great Chu?

"Hahahaha, now that your Demon Summoning Palace and that Blackwater have been dealt with so badly by the Great Chu that you can't even raise your heads, you want to shift the blame to the east?"

【Tianwaitian】is one of the three major scourges of the Great Chu, on par with these two demonic organizations.

Its existence is shrouded in mystery, and its members follow the path of "elite demonic cultivators," with few people knowing the background of its members.

According to Li Xiao, they were all cowards who hid their true intentions.

However, the person in front of me is one of the leaders of [Tianwaitian], and he is a master of the demonic path, so I still have to show him the respect I should.

"Master Chen is joking. Our Summoning Temple has not suffered any serious damage. We only lost a priest in Yong'an City."

"Master Li is so protective of his own. He's willing to kill the police station's captain just because we lost a priest. I'm even thinking of going to join you guys."

Li Xiao said calmly:
"Master Chen is willing to switch allegiance, and we at the Summoning Temple are naturally willing. But before that, shouldn't we get down to business?"

He was naturally not that free; he had other reasons for going to Yong'an. He just happened to run into the captain and took care of him on the side.

"Tsk tsk, Master Li is still in such a hurry. Have you thought about the next plan? Starting strong but finishing weak is not the style of Tianwaitian."

When it came to serious matters, the man dropped his playful grin.

"Don't worry, this is all our specialty at the Temple of Summoning Gods, there won't be any mistakes."

In recent years, the clashes between the [Divine Realm] and our region have become increasingly frequent. We have already contacted several deities for protection, so it is up to us to awaken them.

"Your task at the outer heavens is simply to ensure the nodes are connected properly and to cooperate effectively. The gods descending to the mortal realm will undoubtedly bring you many benefits."

Li Xiao, a member of the demonic path, refers to the Heavenly Demon Realm as the so-called Divine Realm, recognizes the strongest beings within as his masters, and is willing to serve as their dogs.

The man's expression turned solemn when the word "gods" was mentioned.

He then nodded and said:
"Understood. We have already connected a node in Ermenxia, ​​the closest point to Yong'an in Henan. Master Li can go and take a look first."

Li Xiao laughed heartily, the scar on his head resembling a wriggling centipede:

"Haha, good. As expected of Tianwaitian, you get things done efficiently. Without further ado, I'll set off immediately."

The man from beyond the heavens rummaged through his body, took out a small cloth bag from his pocket, and then handed it to Li Xiao.

"All the preliminary preparations have been completed over there. Take this item with you to Ermenxia, ​​and someone will contact you at that time."

"it is good."

Li Xiao packed up the cloth bag, and with a light touch of his toes, he rode away on the wind.

Amidst the clouds and mist, Li Xiao opened the package and found a round bronze mirror inside.

Turn it over, and the mirror is clean and tidy, reflecting his fierce and evil face.

"interesting."

Taihang Zhenlong Martial Arts Competition Center.

The final testing was underway at the arena outside, and Meng Chuan and his master stood in the contestant tunnel waiting.

Luo Guanyun gave his final instructions:

“Xu Nuo is not a good person to deal with, especially the knife in his hand, which is full of murderous aura and is probably not an ordinary weapon for subduing demons.”

The main focus on the game is finding opportunities to unleash your power; don't rely on your physique and act recklessly, understand?

Meng Chuan nodded, understanding the reasoning behind it all.

According to the intelligence gathered before the competition, his senior promised that he would be cultivating the [Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf Skill] of the Pictographic School and would soon reach the perfect state.

Even without mentioning the sharp weapon in his hand, he could crush the vast majority of people on the field with just his body's qi and blood of over four hundred.

"Take a while to regulate your breathing. When you inhale, pay attention to your breathing rhythm and don't panic."

Meng Chuan nodded, then crossed his arms and waited at the entrance of the passage.

Meanwhile, in the passage on the left, Xu Nuo was also adjusting his breathing.

He held his Tang sword in both arms, leaned against the wall, and closed his eyes to rest.

"An eighteen-year-old prodigy, it's a pity he met me."

Before long, all the setup and adjustments on the field were completed, and the battle for the first ticket to the final was about to begin.

The sound from the large central screen outside the venue, which was playing advertisements, suddenly stopped.

The next moment, accompanied by rousing music, the screen lit up again.

Photos of Meng Chuan and Xu Nuo were prominently displayed before the audience.

"Promise!"

"It's starting! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

They were among the top three predicted before the competition, and they also have quite a few casual fans.

Many fans simultaneously shouted:

"By the grace of the Heavenly Dragon, the Heavenly Blade of Howling Moon slays the Vajra!"

Meng Chuan also has many fans who have been following the game since Yong'an.

Hearing the other person recite a rhyme, he wasn't about to be outdone and retorted:
"Meng Chuan is invincible!"

"His fists are so powerful they dominate the north, the Steel Spear King of Yong'an!"

Meng Chuan was entering the arena when he heard "Steel Gun King" and his figure staggered instantly, his vision going black.

This unfortunate title, like the Soul Lock, actually tracked me all the way to the Taihang Mountains.
As the commotion in the audience subsided, Meng Chuan and Xu Nuo stood facing each other on the stage.

To ensure a fair competition, the two are waiting on the field for a check by the third-ranked expert from the local martial arts association.

Hearing the cheers of the opposing fans around her, Xu Nuo asked in confusion:

"Are you looking down on me? Where's your gun?"
