Invincible!

Chapter 55 Status
"Yan Yu, defeated!?"

Shen Chenzhou was taken aback.

Then, an uncontrollable look of surprise appeared on his face: "Defeated by Li Xian?"

Zhong Xiuling, the host who was also listening nearby, was slightly taken aback: "Li Xian? Him?"

Another poster quickly added, "I remember, this Mr. Li is ranked ninth on the Hidden Dragon List?"

Finally, he added, "Even this ranking was pushed up by the main force of the Clock Tower against the majority?"

Zhong Lingxiu nodded: "Based on the information I have, I have made a judgment on Li Xian. He has only recently advanced to the level of 'Body Without Leaks,' but he has mastered secret techniques and his combat power is remarkable. He is in no way inferior to a Great Perfection Martial Master who has mastered Qi and Blood. Therefore, he is ranked ninth."

How could Li Xian defeat Yan Yu?

Shen Chenzhou asked curiously, "The True Qi Realm has a significant advantage over the Leak-Free Realm. Even though Li Xian's secret techniques are superb and his combat power is astonishing, theoretically he has no chance of winning against Yan Yu, who has cultivated True Qi."

"Refining blood into qi".

The voice from the jade tablet explained: "Li Xian has mastered the Blood Refining Technique. He used the power of refining blood into qi to break through true qi and defeat Yan Yu. His strength is so great that he can be called the number one person on the Hidden Dragon List."

"Refining Blood into Qi!?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Chenzhou, Zhong Lingxiu, and the other two landlords were all moved.

"Li Xian has actually cultivated the Blood Refining Technique to this level!?"

"Wait a minute! Doesn't the Blood Refining Technique require Blood Nourishing Pills to be practiced? Where did Li Xian get Blood Nourishing Pills? Could it be that he's a descendant of some Daoist master? Or perhaps he's received a Daoist inheritance?"

"Impossible. I've checked. Li Xian has a clean background and it's impossible for him to be associated with a Dao-entering expert."

"Then how did he master the Blood Refining Technique?"

One by one, the posters began to speak.

Zhong Lingxiu, on the other hand, suddenly felt relieved at this moment.

Looking at the several forum members arguing, she smiled slightly: "You've forgotten that besides needing Blood Nourishing Pills to master the Blood Refining Technique, if one is born with extraordinary abilities and possesses a special physique, there is also a chance to master it!"

Upon hearing this, the debate in the room paused slightly.

"Special physique?"

"Oh, right, how could I forget that?"

"Does the Tower Master think that Mr. Li has a special physique?"

Their gazes immediately fell on Zhong Lingxiu.

Even Shen Chenzhou was no exception.

"It's just a guess. We'll probably have to wait until he gets to the sect to find out the truth."

Zhong Lingxiu paused as she spoke, "If someone truly possesses a special physique... then they are at least equivalent to a top-tier immortal seedling. This year, we have unearthed two geniuses in succession, and we are likely to receive rewards from the sect."

Shen Chenzhou and the others smiled upon hearing this.

One of them even said with a hint of amusement, "Yan Yu actually lost in the first match. I wonder how that Martial King will react when he hears this news."

"We'll see it soon."

Zhong Lingxiu said with a smile.

Meanwhile, in another part of the pavilion, King Wu Yan Shi Ri was still chatting and laughing with the leaders of various powerful sects who were on good terms with the royal family.

"Speaking of which, this year's arena competition seems to lack excitement. I remember that even in previous competitions that weren't in the defending champion mode, we could hear bursts of exclamations, like a landslide or a tsunami. Even we sitting here could hear them clearly."

Yan Shi Ri said with a smile.

A sect leader beside him added, "The competition has only just begun. The first to step onto the stage will undoubtedly be the Nineteenth Prince, and it's a foregone conclusion that she will win the Dragon Gate Token. No one will dare to challenge her. Without a fight breaking out, there won't be any exciting scenes, let alone a huge uproar."

"Too."

Yan Shi Ri nodded: "Only when the competition for the third, fourth, and fifth Dragon Gate Tokens begins will there be some activity."

The King Martial smiled and said, "I wonder who will end up with these three Dragon Gate Tokens."

"Lord Qi must have one. As the current Marquis of Wu, he is perfect in all aspects and ranks third on the Hidden Dragon List. He can handle a Dragon Gate Token. As for Yue Longsha and Su Jianxing... it's a bit hard to say."

Another sect leader said with a smile.

"Heh, that's not necessarily true. After Yan Yu and Xiang Yangsheng got two Dragon Gate Tokens, there are only three left to compete for. Everyone will go all out for these three Dragon Gate Tokens."

The Pavilion Master of Tianbao Pavilion snorted, "Qi Liang may have a slight advantage in strength, but both are flawless. How big can the advantage be? If they face challenges from several or even a dozen martial artists in succession, no one can last until the end."

Tianbao Pavilion failed to recruit any of the top five on this year's Hidden Dragon Ranking.

He would much rather see Qi Liang, Yue Longsha, and Su Jianxing all perish and fall in battle.

"Haha, then let's wait and see the result..."

Yan Shi was in a good mood and did not argue with the head of Tianbao Pavilion.

Especially when he saw his messenger rushing over, he smiled and said, "Look, we already have results."

As he spoke, he even stood up and took the initiative to greet him, befitting his status as a prince. Nangong Zhaoyue of Taixu Sword Palace, Guangyuan Sword Saint of Shengwu Tower, Wei Fist Saint, and others did not move much upon seeing this.

The former was full of confidence, believing that if there was one Yan Yu in the Dragon Gate Order, there must also be one Xiang Yangsheng.

Even with Xiang Yangsheng's true strength, he could forcibly take the last Dragon Gate Token back from Yan Yu's hands.

As for the Holy Martial Pavilion...

They knew it in their hearts.

Not so fast.

If Yue Longsha wants to finally win the Dragon Gate Token, she will indeed have to go through a fierce competition.

At that moment, a roar filled with barely suppressed anger suddenly rang out.

"Defeated!? How is that possible! My Yan family's prodigy, a master who has cultivated true qi to the Void Refinement stage, how could he possibly lose!? Defeated by Li Xian!?"

This is the sound of King Wu's severe eclipse of the sun.

Upon hearing this, the Pavilion Master of Tianbao Pavilion was slightly taken aback, then stood up with a gloating expression, and asked in surprise, "Yan Yu, he really lost?"

When Wei Qingqing heard the name "Li Xian" from the Sacred Martial Pavilion, her gaze immediately fell on the Sword Saint of Guangyuan: "Li Xian? The one you helped out with?"

"I didn't help him at all..."

The Sword Saint of Guangyuan shook his head. Seeing Xiao Ruqing rushing over, he immediately asked, "What's going on?"

"A dark horse!"

Xiao Ruqing quickly said, "That Li Xian... has simply become the biggest dark horse of this year's Dragon Gate Tournament. When Yan Yu went up on stage, everyone thought he would easily win a Dragon Gate Token with no doubt. But Li Xian went up and directly defeated Yan Yu, knocking him off the Five Elements Platform!"

"Is it really Li Xian?"

The Sword Saint of Guangyuan recalled the arrogant young man who had just reached the Blood Cleansing and Marrow Washing Realm when they first met at Canglang Mountain.

How long has it been since?

"Has Yan Yu mastered true qi? Does he have that kind of strength?"

"Absolutely true! And not through secret techniques or sneak attacks! He defeated Yan Yu fair and square! Even if the two fought again, the result would be no different!"

Xiao Ruqing spoke with absolute certainty.

"He actually has this kind of ability?!"

Wei Qingqing was also full of surprise.

Upon hearing the news brought by Long Yu, the Pavilion Master of Tianbao Pavilion laughed and slammed his hand on the table: "Haha! Good lad! You're quite reckless!"

With just one sentence, he drew the attention of both Nangong Zhaoyue and the gloomy-looking Yan Shiri.

But he showed no fear, simply saying, "It's quite unexpected that such a dark horse has suddenly emerged, don't you two think?"

"Mr. Li!"

Yan Shi Ri's expression was icy: "I don't believe that someone with perfect health can be this strong. Even the geniuses of my Yan family who have cultivated to the True Qi Realm can't do anything to him. He must be relying on external objects or taking forbidden drugs!"

He said sternly, "I suggest a thorough investigation into this boy!"

"All right!"

He had barely begun to speak when he was interrupted by Shen Chenzhou, who was not far away.

Li Xian is now essentially a superhuman, having achieved a status far beyond what he once held, and he cannot tolerate any slander from others.

Even King Wu of Zhou.

The sect leader glanced indifferently at Yan Shi Ri: "Don't tell me you don't know what Blood Refining Technique means? If you don't understand, I can explain it to you! Refining blood into Qi can break through true Qi! Do you understand?"

Zhong Lingxiu also stood up: "Does the Yan family want to interfere in the selection of Daoist disciples for the Rising Dragon Pavilion? Is this Yan Shiri's idea, or Yan Shengming's idea?"

She paused, then emphasized, "Or perhaps, it's the idea of ​​that Yan Cailian, the true disciple of Yan?"

Upon hearing Zhong Lingxiu's accusation, which even targeted the Yan family's biggest backer, Yan Shirui's expression immediately changed.

"My Yan family naturally has no intention of interfering in the selection of Dao seedlings for the Rising Dragon Pavilion. However, we feel that it is too unbelievable for someone in the Flawless Realm to defeat someone in the True Qi Realm, and there are many suspicious points."

The Martial King immediately changed his tone: "Since we know that he has mastered the Blood Refining Technique to a high level, and will eventually be able to defeat those in the True Qi Realm... it is only natural."

"The world is vast and full of talented people. Those peerless geniuses who are given special attention can easily surpass the True Qi Realm, let alone the Meridian Opening Realm."

Shen Chenzhou said calmly, "I don't blame you for being narrow-minded and confined to the Great Zhou for so many years, but you must never mention such things again."

"Yes."

Yan Shi Ri responded somewhat aggrievedly.

Despite being filled with anger and resentment, he dared not utter a single word of dissent against the Rising Dragon Pavilion, which belonged to the sect's Dao Seedling Selection Organization.

In the end, they had no choice but to accept the result.
