With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 250 New Regulations: Celestial Phenomena - Extreme Cold Weather!
It's not just about getting into the national talent pool; it also involves the personal connections of the Heavenly King Guardian, rare elixirs that can improve one's physical constitution, and the extremely important top-tier contract from Han Hai Company.

Either of these bargaining chips is enough to drive an ordinary martial artist completely mad!
Meng Chuan walked step by step toward the arena, his Crimson Dragon Robe fluttering in the wind.

Today, he will step on the Celestial Master's Mansion to reach the top of the nation; there is absolutely no other possibility!
The two stood up beside the host, and after taking their positions, they clasped their hands in a martial arts salute.

"Meng Chuan from the Northern United Martial Arts University!"

Lochin nodded slightly. Meng Chuan's performance was indeed as he had expected, the "only variable from the North".

His voice was magnetic as he began:

"Luo Qin from the Celestial Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain greets Brother Meng."

He, for example, grew up in a martial arts sect that has been passed down from ancient times.

Although in action, they actively embrace the era of Qi and Blood Martial Arts.

However, he still holds onto old-fashioned ideas, especially someone like him. The Celestial Master's Mansion is the Celestial Master's Mansion; it has never been a martial arts university.

"Your fighting spirit is soaring, but we'll have to wait a little longer. Ladies and gentlemen, now comes the most exciting moment! Let's welcome King Zhao to draw the simulated arena for our two contestants!"

The audience erupted in cheers; this was the most exciting part of the competition, aside from the fact that the two had decided a winner.

In the live stream with nearly 30 million viewers, the chat was flooded with messages like "Please give me the Desert!" and "Volcanic Lava Demon Nest!"

There were also female fans of Lochin constantly spamming the screen, begging Zhao Tianwang to draw a good match for their idol.

This is a new rule added to the third stage of the Martial Arts Supernova Tournament in Shanghai.

Using real-world and virtual interactive technologies, the game recreates 99% of the actual combat scenarios inside the Demon Nest.

Meng Chuan entered the arena in a swampy area and defeated Zheng Chengcheng twice.

This is a cutting-edge technique that is typically used only in competitions for martial arts masters and above.

The organizing committee's move aims to enhance the entertainment value and immersive experience of the martial arts competition, further fueling the already intense battle in Shanghai.

At the same time, due to the urgency of the current situation, the country is more focused on testing whether martial artists have the ability to adapt to the environment within the Demon Nest in the future.

As is widely known, the Demon Nest is an alternate dimension that emerged from the dark side of the world due to its collision with reality.

This is a land untouched by humans, a place where demons revel.

It embodies the most distorted and extreme celestial rules in the world:
Beneath the blood-red moon shrouded the sky, the night was boundless! On the corrupted earth, bone-chilling winds and swampy mud enveloped the heavens and the earth, leaving nowhere to hide. And then there were the frigid snow-capped mountains, capable of freezing a living person into an ice sculpture in mere seconds.

These kinds of strange celestial phenomena are terrifying scenes that can never be seen in the normal world.

Some research experts predict that if the number of demon nests reaches a certain level, they will connect and merge with each other, eventually dragging the entire human world down into the abyss!

Each demon's lair is a manifestation of an environmental nightmare after the world has collapsed.

Every demon's lair must be suppressed by the physical bodies and blood of martial artists!

Coming to his senses, Meng Chuan heard the host's remarks and felt a slight sense of anticipation.

Thanks to the Five Elements Qiankun Fist, he possesses all five elements and can adapt to any environment.

However, fire-type is still more suitable. If Zhao Tianwang can help me draw a [Volcanic Lava] terrain.

At that time, by channeling the fire of the heart and the energy of thunder, it will be much easier to deal with them, and taking down Lochin will be a sure thing.

Just as he was imagining, Zhao Yingchun waved her hand, and various scenes began to rotate on the 6D screen that surrounded the entire venue.

Amidst the anticipation of the entire audience, the image finally froze.

A vast, white, snow-covered world.

Meng Chuan's heart skipped a beat.

The worst has happened.
He had been studying Lochin's match tactics, whose icy fist technique, activated by the magic sword, was inherently extremely cold and bone-chilling.

With the added bonus of this extremely cold weather setting, it's like adding wings to a tiger.

I was really "unlucky" to be drawn this venue.

On the judges' panel, Zhao Yingchun also looked slightly surprised, not expecting the result to be so extreme.

His expression as he looked at Meng Chuan was slightly apologetic; he feared his move might have cost Meng Chuan the championship.
"Let's see who's the best in the fight. Xiao Meng has an indomitable spirit, so it's not impossible for him to fight this opponent."

Meanwhile, Luo Qin, standing next to Meng Chuan, smiled for the first time since his appearance today.

It seems that Lady Luck is on his side after all.

"Draw complete! The final venue for this year's Martial Arts Supernova Tournament is—[Extreme Cold]!"

The results were displayed on the big screen, and in the audience, some were happy while others were sad.

Meng Chuan's supporters were all pounding their chests and stamping their feet, their faces showing utter defeat and dejection.

"Maru!"

"It's a rip-off! Brothers, let's storm this damn organizer!"

Locsin's fans were unusually excited, especially his female fans who were the most enthusiastic.

They held up their support signs, their screams almost piercing the sky:

"Lochin, Lochin, the destiny has been given to you!"

"Frost Mage is unbeatable at home! He crushes Warrior!"

The live stream chat was flooded with comments like "[The Absolute Territory of the Celestial Master's Mansion]" and "[Complete Victory of the Ice]".

Some enthusiastic fans even popped champagne on the spot, as if the championship was already within their grasp.

The online audience instantly went wild. Anyone with a little martial arts knowledge knew how much this terrain would benefit Lochin.

Meng Chuan's approval rating, which had been maintained at 50.9%, plummeted to 46% in an instant and continues to decline.

Meanwhile, major media platforms are vying to report on the matter.

The topic of the competition venue instantly topped the trending searches on a certain interactive website.

[The home advantage in the "extreme cold" is too obvious! Locsin's chances of winning the championship soar. Let's discuss whether the "terrain kill" is fair!] [Earthquake in the martial arts world! The results of the Supernova Tournament venue draw are out. Experts analyze: Meng Chuan's winning probability may be less than 30%!]

In the first row of the audience, Shen Shuo shook his head helplessly and said to the tall, thin, and dignified old man beside him:
"It truly is a matter of timing and fate. Master, if Meng Chuan is no match for Luo Qin, then what..."

The tall, thin old man had a solemn face, and his two thick, chiseled eyebrows joined together, adding to his imposing presence.

Upon hearing this, he merely raised his eyelids slightly and slowly said:

"Favorable timing, geographical advantages, and harmonious relationships are ultimately just icing on the cake."

Martial arts are inherently about defying the heavens. If this young man fights brilliantly and desperately, it might be worth giving him a chance.

"Thank you, Master."

Shen Shuo felt relieved. His master was always strict, so for him to say such a thing meant that Meng Chuan's performance in the previous competition had caught his eye.

The game is about to begin.

The host stepped aside, leaving only Meng Chuan and Luo Qin on stage.

After the back-end staff finished debugging the equipment and the two finished their preparations, they stepped into the virtual extreme cold.

The virtual reality technology was activated instantly, and the entire venue was covered by holographic projection.

The next moment, Meng Chuan stood on a vast expanse of land, with towering snow-capped mountains stretching as far as the eye could see.

He looked up and saw the leaden-gray sky hanging low, seemingly within reach.

The howling wind whipped up ice crystals, slicing them with sharp whistles through the air. In the distance, jagged icebergs pierced the sky like the fangs of a giant beast, while from the cracks in the ground beneath our feet, faint blue freezing air could be seen rising.

"So realistic."

Meng Chuan reached out and caught a snowflake, feeling it melt into water as it was warmed by his own body heat.

The cold air made his skin shiver, his muscles tensed up as if cast in steel, his pores closed instantly to lock in his blood and energy, and white steam rose from his body.

The ice crystals condensed and shattered on Meng Chuan's body, producing a metallic clang.

On the special large screen in the audience area, Meng Chuanzhou was seen moving steadily across the snowfield, his body resembling a bronze furnace.

Every step left burning footprints on the frozen ground, as if the rules of extreme cold were powerless against this body that had been tempered by countless trials.

"Meng Shen has a chance!"

Everyone's eyes lit up; they hadn't expected that the near-zero temperatures would have no effect on it.

But Meng Chuan himself was not optimistic.

He and Narochin were both randomly placed in this area.

The scene spans a full 10,000 square kilometers; just finding the other party would take a considerable amount of time. Most importantly...
As I exhaled, the cold wind swept through and turned my breath into a thin mist.

Meng Chuan's senses were incredibly sharp; the temperature was dropping lower and lower, and the snow was falling thicker and thicker.

It's likely that in about two hours, the wind, snow, and extreme cold will engulf the entire land.
This is 99% a simulation of the power of extreme cold in real life; ordinary people would find it difficult to survive even a second in this death zone.

"Let's follow the highest snow-capped mountain in front of us and find each other."

Meng Chuan calmed himself down, dug out a large chunk of snow, weighed it in his hand for a moment, then crushed it into powder and strode towards the snow-capped mountain in front of him.

"I can tolerate the current temperature, but if it gets any lower, I'm afraid I really won't be able to defeat Luo Qin."

Huhu——!
The gale swept past like thousands of ice blades, emitting a sharp and piercing shriek.

Meng Chuan tightened his dragon-patterned robe, his eyes fixed on his surroundings in case of any unexpected events.

He had reached the halfway point of the snow-capped mountain, where the temperature was slightly lower than at the foot of the mountain.

Fluttering——

A huge bat with thick, bright blue fur suddenly swooped down from above Meng Chuan's head.

Although the white skyline was making him feel uncomfortable, he could still sense that something was rushing towards him.

The dragon demon within him shared his thoughts, subtly indicating that danger lurked above him.

Suddenly, Meng Chuan pushed his shoulders and stretched his arms, his heart fire burning fiercely on his dragon bones.

The next moment, however, it was blown by the howling cold wind, making it look like a flickering candle flame.

puff~
The first sensation in my palm was a tight, leathery feel.

Immediately afterwards, it felt as if I was enveloped by a mass of soft flesh after being penetrated.

Meng Chuan exerted a slight force in his palm, and the stench of blood splashed across the sky like ink.

Looking down, I saw a lifeless blue bat with four enormous fangs.

The other person's chest was wide open; their heart had been crushed by their own hand.

"A unique creature found in extremely cold-weather demon nests, [Lower-Rank Heavenly Demon - Ice Bat]."

The dragon bone has the effect of dispelling magic. The opponent's Heavenly Demonic stance is nothing to me, so it is reasonable to kill them instantly.

Another ice bat appeared out of nowhere. Meng Chuan took a step forward to dodge it, twisted his feet and flipped over, and punched the monster squarely in the head, blood splattering everywhere.

This sense of realism filled Meng Chuan with admiration, realizing that the technology of the Great Chu had developed to a level he could never have imagined.

Before Meng Chuan could stand still, his ears twitched slightly.

A faint tremor emanated from the entire snow-capped mountain.

At the same time, terrifying hissing sounds came from all directions around him.

Meng Chuan's face was tense; it seemed his luck had run out completely.

I'm afraid I've killed a pair of happy lovers.

"Although ice bats are monogamous and live alone, if both partners are killed at the same time, it will trigger [Blood Feud Resonance], and the entire colony in the snow mountain will riot!"
