Devour

Yun Juan wanted to ask as well, but he beat her to the punch and responded, "I want to go into Happy Valley to hunt, maybe I can find some precious resources. I'm already nearby, but my teammates haven't arrived yet."

It turns out that he had the same idea as Cheng Bai.

Now is the best time to enter the Joyful Valley. The Evil Eye Beast King is gone, and the Dark Spider Queen is half-dead. With Yun Juan's strength, if he carefully sweeps the secret realm, he will surely be able to obtain a lot of resources.

Cheng Bai said with a smile, "What a good idea! It will surely yield a great harvest."

Yun Juan blinked and said, "What about you?"

Cheng Bai said perfunctorily: "I was just passing by."

"It's very dangerous in the Joy Valley. The monsters are extremely powerful, especially the Evil Eye Beast and the Dark Spider. If you are not sure, ask your teammates for help and don't go in lightly." Yun Juan warned.

After saying this, I couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Why do I care about him? Is it because he invited me to dinner?"

Cheng Bai asked curiously, "Have you made an appointment with your teammates?"

Yun Juan said complacently, "I have met a good friend who is tall and strong. He is very powerful and reliable. It is a pleasure to have adventures together."

Cheng Bai felt a little sour for some reason, and stammered, "It's great to have friends. I wish you happiness."

Yun Juan smiled and said, "You are a very nice person. I believe you will make friends soon."

Cheng Bai chatted for a while, cleaned up, said goodbye, rode away on Xiaobai.

Yun Juan waited for a while, and when the night was quiet, another hunter came to join them. The man was stunningly handsome, tall, muscular, and rode a giant golden wolf.

She saw Yunjuan from a distance and said, "Juan, I'm late."

Yun Juan waved and smiled, "Xiang, it's not too late. Anyway, we are going to enter the Happy Valley early tomorrow morning. Let's camp here tonight and sleep together."

"Okay." Ningxiang jumped off her mount.

Cheng Bai ran for a long time and found a clean hillside. He camped and rested. He looked up at the starry sky, recorded the positions of celestial bodies, and sighed: "When will I have a confidante?"

The night is intoxicating and everyone is intoxicated, and a shooting star flies by.

The next day, Cheng Bai rushed back to Tianquan City and first came to the Qi Zong store.

Chi Zhongming took out the mountain copper ingot and said with a smile, "Mr. Cheng, I have accomplished your mission. There are 30 kilograms of mountain copper in total. It is rare to find so much material in that batch of ore."

Cheng Bai put away the ingot and asked, "Can Qi Zong customize the Xuanming Treasure Clothes?"

Xuanming symbolizes the god of water. With this equipment, he can easily go into the sea for exploration. Cheng Bai is quite envious and has long wanted to try one.

Chi Zhongming confirmed, "The branch temple cannot be built, only the main temple can be built. I will leave for the Qi Sect's main temple this afternoon to report to the Sect Master. If you have any materials, you can bring them along. I need the Yinming Spider Silk of the Yinming Queen Mother, the Dark Feathers of the Poisonous Sparrow, half a pound of Feiying Stone, and 5000 taels of gold."

“We have all of these.”

Cheng Bai counted the materials, and gave out two Yinming spider silk cocoons, nine dark feathers of the Shadow Bird King, and used the special magic weapon of the Weapon Sect to cut off a small piece of Feiying Stone.

Chi Zhongming memorized the documents, measured his body size, accepted the materials and deposit, and told Cheng Baiqi the address of the main altar of the sect: "The Xuanming Treasure Clothes is a rare treasure. After it is delivered to the main altar, it will take fifteen days to complete."

Seeing that the address was located in the Three Sages Valley of Gumeng Mountain, east of the Panqiu Mountains, Cheng Bai could not help but warn: "There are many monsters on the road, and transportation is inconvenient."

Chi Zhongming could not hide his joy in his words: "Thank you for your consideration, Master Cheng. I have been promoted and accepted as a personal disciple by the sect master. He will send a spirit boat to pick you up."

Cheng Bai didn't say much. He made it clear that they had to leave the Qi Sect branch and go to the Hunter's Guild to sell their inventory. He only kept the crystal core of the Evil Eye Beast King, as he thought it was hard-earned and might use it for himself.

The guild teller settled the two golds, which finally aroused the envy and exclamations of the guild hunters. It was rare to see such a large amount of money being earned every day even in Tianquan City, where rich people were everywhere.

Cheng Bai had a lot more money, so he returned to the Hunter Academy to entertain his friends and found He Lipang and Ruan Taoran.

He Lipang was overjoyed when he saw Cheng Bai and said, "Junior Brother Cheng, luckily you're back, otherwise you wouldn't be able to catch up with the academy's activities."

Ruan Taoran suggested, "Before the martial arts hunting competition begins, it is most cost-effective to live in the academy. Not only is the accommodation cheap, but the martial arts arena also hosts martial arts competitions and discussions, and rewards precious elixirs to improve your cultivation."

He Lipang said enthusiastically: "This kind of activity only takes place before the actual conference begins. Starting today, one Heaven-Reinforcing Divine Power Pill will be awarded every day. This resource is precious and hard to come by."

Cheng Bai was overjoyed when he heard this: "Let's not delay any further, let's go to compete in martial arts and discuss the Dao first."

The academy's open-air parade ground is magnificent, with 108 majestic statues of different ancient beasts surrounding it and facing the central martial arts arena. People are fighting on the high platform, and the surrounding stepped audience seats are full.

Cheng Bai looked up and saw that the two people fighting fiercely on the arena were the Wild Hammer King and the Dragon Spear King.

That day, Tie Baohan was defeated by Shen Ya in one move at the entrance of the academy. After practicing hard for several days, he couldn't bear it anymore and challenged again. Today, he wielded the giant kite hammer more skillfully and the fight with Shen Ya seemed to be evenly matched.

The three of them walked closer to watch, but couldn't help shaking their heads and sighing.

Shen Ya was blocking Tie Baohan's giant black iron hammer with his bare hands, and he was still able to attack and defend, without being at a disadvantage at all.

He Lipang said softly, "Dean Qiu Bainian has taken the Dark Dragon Spear from the Dragon Spear King and has not yet returned it. Tie Baohan took advantage of this opportunity to challenge him. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that this is unfair."

Ruan Taoran commented, "Tie Baohan is in the middle stage of Bao Yuan Realm, and has not formed a domain. His strength is similar to mine. In order to lower his realm to match his, Shen Ya does not use his own domain."

The giant kite hammer on the stage was swung with great force, and each move was as heavy as a mountain, but it could never break through Shen Ya's bare fists.

Cheng Bai said bluntly: "The winner is decided."

Shen Ya put his index finger and middle finger together, and thrust his finger out like a gun, stabbing into the gap where the giant hammer had swung, accurately hitting the acupoint on Tie Baohan's arm, cutting off the flow of his true energy and leaving him with no strength. The giant kite hammer flew out of his hand again and rushed out of the arena.

The audience exclaimed in unison. The impact power of the 840-pound hammer was incredible. It would definitely create a mess when it landed. It would be even more tragic if it accidentally hit a child.

He Lipang could see it clearly, so he stepped forward quickly, stretched out both palms, and used the sticky technique of the Falling Leaf Palm. He pulled the heavy black iron hammer, and lifted it up with layers of soft power. It floated like a fallen leaf and fell into his hands without hitting anything.

This move made light work of heavy tasks and used softness to overcome hardness, which made the knowledgeable hunters around applaud.

Shen Ya said on the stage: "Brother Tie, you lose."

At this point, Tie Baohan no longer had the face to compete, and said loudly: "Brother Shen's martial arts are outstanding, much better than mine, Tie Baohan is convinced."

He jumped off the arena, forgetting even to retrieve the giant kite hammer, and left the training ground.

He Lipang hurriedly handed the giant hammer to the gentleman who was supervising the competition at the academy, and later sent it to Tie Baohan.

Today's martial arts competition and discussion will be based on the rules of the champion system. The winner of the last match will continue to defend the ring. If he wins three games in a row, he will receive a Bu Tian Shen Li Pill. The event will last for ten days.

Shen Ya won a game and became the defending champion, waiting for new challengers to attack.

Seeing that no one was coming up, He Lipang volunteered, "Let me fight him. If a boxer who specializes in boxing loses to a gun king whose weapon has been taken away, how can I still call myself the fierce boxing champion?"

After saying that, he jumped up and turned over to land in front of Shen Ya.

Cheng Bai shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter if I lose."

Ruan Taoran smiled awkwardly and said, "Shen Ya is at the Guigen realm, two realms higher than me. There is no point in challenging him."

"Brother Shen, please give me some advice."

He Lipang on the stage gave a polite speech and then took the opening stance of Baizhan Yansheng Fist, which was his strongest martial arts. As the saying goes, an expert can tell the quality of a martial artist with just one move. The opening stance was as steady as a mountain and as solid as a horn, which reflected the upright and courageous character of Baizhan Yansheng Fist. The martial artist's personal realm and cultivation could be seen from it.

Cheng Bai praised: "Senior Brother He's style of attack is very different from mine."

Ruan Taoran showed off his knowledge: "The Hundred Battles Yansheng Fist of the Fierce Fist King is famous all over the world. It has many changes and is very powerful. It is much better than Tie Baohan."

Two people started fighting on the stage.

He Li's powerful and fierce punches were like a galloping army, one wave after another. Shen Ya was calm and unhurried, his palms were pointed like spears, like two dragons entwined, dispelling the attack. For a moment, there was no winner.

Cheng Bai looked at He Lipang's sharp punches and kicks and couldn't help but wonder, "Senior Brother He's boxing skills are famous and should be top-notch. Why do all his moves seem to be included in the Six Paths of Bliss Fist?"

Little did people know that since the Six Paths of Bliss Fist was gradually lost in the Yuheng Holy Temple, successive temple masters had added to the incomplete foundation and created their own martial arts. Although they had also developed two complete martial arts, the Fallen Leaf Palm and the Hundred Battles Saint Fist, they were always unable to break through the barriers.

He Lipang fought for a long time without success, and gradually exerted his strength to his limit. The power of his fists was like the howling of hundreds of beasts, and the momentum was so great that it showed the initial characteristics of the domain and increased its power.

Shen Ya shook his head and said, "You are stronger than Tie Baohan. You have just entered the Yishen realm. You are better in skills and have deeper power, but you have not really formed a domain. There are only some signs. This step is like a world of difference."

After saying that, he improved his power, and a giant with a dragon head and a human body appeared behind him. He also pointed his fingers like a gun, and the power combined with that of his body doubled, and it forcibly dispersed He Lipang's fist.

He Lipang retreated more than ten steps, seemingly dancing, but in fact he used the "Xiao" technique of the Falling Leaf Divine Palm to dissolve the force. Just as he removed the force, he felt his blood boiling and unable to resist. He said in horror: "I lost."

Shen Ya raised his head and said: "This is the real domain. It draws the natural power of heaven and earth, becomes the supreme ruler, and controls the power of life and death. No mortal flesh and blood can resist it."

The judge at the martial arts arena announced that Dragon Spear King had won two consecutive matches.

He Lipang jumped off the stage and returned to Cheng Bai and Ruan Taoran. His face was gloomy and he sighed, "There is a huge gap between us and him. It is really difficult to cross. We have to work harder. How about going to the Shell Mountain Secret Realm to find some resources together?"

Ruan Taoran suggested: "There are too many hunters exploring Shell Mountain, and the treasures left are scarce. We can consider the more distant Strange Stone Mountain Fire Lake, which is of similar level and may have good harvests."

He Lipang was quite tempted: "If I don't get this Heaven-Replenishing Divine Power Pill, I can go to the secret realm to earn more money, or go to the Medicine Sect to buy elixirs to make up for it, but it's a bit troublesome."

Cheng Bai was about to speak when he saw two young men walking side by side. One of them was Xing Jue who was chased by the lion tide that day. He thought to himself, "He successfully escaped and came back. Does he want to compete on the stage as well?"

Many hunters saw the two and told each other, "King Lingzhan and King Juejian are here to attend the conference."

The two were both well-known and highly acclaimed, and their joint arrival drew cheers from the audience, and with so many admirers, it was an unprecedented event.

Ruan Taoran was well-informed and whispered, "It's Qi Jifen, the Saint of Medicine Sect. He is a rare Yin spirit body that only appears once in a thousand years. It is said that he has also reached the Return to Roots Realm. He and Shen Ya are known as the twin gems of Tianshu City and are rare sons of famous families. Xing Jue, the Saint of Sword Sect, possesses a peerless sword body that is also rare in a thousand years."

He Lipang whispered, "Before Master taught me martial arts, I once tested my skills with Xing Jue. He was slightly better than me. It is not difficult to defeat him now. Qi Jifen and I have never fought each other."

Xing Jue said to the gentle young man beside him with a smile: "Brother Qi, it is Brother Shen who is defending the ring. This generation is full of talented people and geniuses. I only respect you two."

Qi Jifen, who was beside him, said with a smile, "Brother Shen's third match will be a competition between him and me."

After saying this, he walked forward slowly, his feet off the ground, as if he was stepping on invisible steps, and walked onto the high platform of the martial arts arena in mid-air.

The hunters around were all shocked. This skill of flying in the air and floating at a low altitude for a short time was something that no one else could do.

When Shen Ya saw Qi Jifen coming up to the stage, he put away his nonchalant attitude and said frankly: "I don't have the Nether Dragon Spear today."

Qi Jifen said loudly: "I, a humble person, do not need weapons."

"Brother Qi, be careful."

Shen Ya did not dare to underestimate the enemy. The dragon-headed human figure behind him stood up, more than ten meters tall, looking down at his opponent, and displayed his own domain from the very beginning.

Qi Ji fought bravely and did not show any weakness. The ground behind him cracked and a green skeleton crawled out from the ground. Its skeleton was eerie and its size was almost the same as his opponent's.

The huge monster took up nearly half of the wide arena, and the sight of it being so huge was shocking.

Cheng Bai looked at the two giants in all their majesty and could not help but ask, "Are all manifestations of the domain giant visions?"

Ruan Taoran explained: "The domain of a genius' physique is very different from that of an ordinary person. Some of the phenomena are giants, some are strange beasts, and some are natural phenomena. There are thousands of different forms. Even if an ordinary person forms a domain, most of them are similar to the initial performance of a genius. For example, some will have hail and strong winds, and some will also make a beast roar like Brother He, but it is difficult for them to grow much further."

He Lipang continued, "The reason why the great geniuses are so outstanding is that, in addition to their advantage in cultivation speed, their domains are unique and more powerful. Shen Ya's Overlord Body and Qi Jifen's Yin Spirit Body have not yet reached perfection, otherwise the influence of their domains would be even greater."

"The bigger the domain, the better?" Cheng Bai evaluated his own domain.

Ruan Taoran nodded and said, "That's right. The wider the range of the domain's anomalies, the greater the natural power of heaven and earth that is being aroused."

On the arena, Qi Jifen's green skeleton grabbed a huge sickle from the ground and swung it towards Shen Ya's giant with a dragon head and a human body.

The giant with a dragon head and a human body clasped his hands together, clamped the scythe, and was in a stalemate with the opponent.

Shen Ya still thrust his fingers forward like a spear.

Qi Jifen raised his hand and summoned out a bunch of emerald green flowers, which floated towards the finger gun. The strange flowers, which seemed light, seemed slow but were actually fast, blocking the sharp energy that followed.

Ruan Taoran whispered, "The Medicine Sect's unique secret technique is 'Blossoming Step by Step'. Qi Jifen has obtained this secret technique. He will undoubtedly be the next leader of the Medicine Sect."

He Lipang shook his head and said, "What a pity. Tianshu Temple also has secret techniques, but they require weapons to perform. We are one step behind."
