One person: After starting with the academic atmosphere, I'll take down Xia He!

Wang Ye looked at the stars in the southwest one last time, a trace of sorrow still lingering in his tightly furrowed brows.

He said calmly, "Strange, although the calamity star has fallen, why is the sky in the southwest still so murky?"

"That's enough. The major disaster is over, and I can't concern myself with the minor ones."

Wang Ye shook his head helplessly; he was already powerless to do anything about it.

The three of them went back to rest, but Ma Long and Feng Baobao ended up in the same room.

"Baby, are you tired?"

Ma Long asked a casual question that moved Feng Baobao. She shook her head, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"I'm not tired!"

What's wrong? "

"Uh, no, nothing!"

Bao'er, do you have this feeling that you've changed?

Ma Long gave an awkward smile, then asked somewhat seriously, while Feng Baobao shook her head blankly.

"I don't know!"

I've been feeling really comfortable lately. Being by your side, I don't have to think about anything, it's wonderful!

Although Feng Baobao didn't think much of it, Ma Long felt that the other party had undergone a complete transformation.

Ma Long's intuition is quite accurate; he always felt that someone had tricked him, and tricked him thoroughly.

That's strange, really strange!

"Son, what are you thinking about? Go to sleep!"

Feng Baobao was already lying in bed, waiting for the pillow to arrive.

"Uh~ Okay~ Here it comes."

…………

Early in the morning, Ma Long woke up and couldn't fall back asleep.

My mind is full of things, and the more I think about them, the more confused and upset I become.

After silently reciting the "Qingjing Jing" (Classic of Purity and Tranquility), one begins to practice standing meditation. The foundation of one's life force is not something to be taken lightly.

While practicing Zhan Zhuang (standing meditation), I also practiced the Golden Light Mantra and Tai Chi.

He then practiced various methods of circulating Qi.

First, there's Feng Hou Qi Men, which is his specialty. Old Ma once said that Ma Long has the highest talent for Feng Hou, while Wang Ye said that he's cheating.

Next is the Tongtian Talisman, which is an extremely powerful auxiliary tool that I practice my hand speed with every day.

Ma Long's hand speed is really fast these days.

Next are the methods of Divine Craftsmanship and Spirit Control, although these two things are useless to me and I can't use them at all.

But Ma Long would set aside a little time each day, not for long, just to go through it once, simply to prevent himself from forgetting it.

After finishing everything, Ma Long would calm himself down completely before finally practicing the "Observation of Qi Technique" given to him by Lao Gu.

Gao Yushan repeatedly emphasized that Ma Long would naturally not underestimate this tactic.

Moreover, this old Gu didn't seem like an ordinary person at all. Ma Long both respected and feared this old guy.

Despite practicing for so long, Ma Long still hadn't mastered anything.

I always feel like my head is spinning, like it's about to grow a brain.

This is very similar to the Qi Observation Technique that Feng Baobao possesses, but they are completely different things.

Although there have been no substantial changes, it has made Ma Long feel very fulfilled.

After practicing the Qi Observation Technique, he felt as if he had done a lot of work, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Knock, knock, knock!" There was a knock on the door.

"Junior Uncle, dinner's ready!"

It was Wang Ye knocking on the door. Usually, Wang Ye would wait at the door for a while, but today was different.

Ma Long had just finished practicing and was in a great mood: "Hahaha!"

They're all probably fast asleep, but I've been practicing my kung fu for two hours straight.

What do you have to compare with me?

Secretly pleased, he and Feng Baobao walked out of the house one after the other.

"Old Wang, what's up?"

Ma Long thought that Wang Ye's mood would be much better now that last night's events were over, but why was he still frowning?

"Junior Uncle, let's finish things here as soon as possible!"

I think I should go check the southwest; there might be something going on there.

Ma Long naturally took Wang Ye's words very seriously and immediately nodded.

"Okay, I was planning to pretend for a few more days, haha!"

Looks like my annual leave will have to end early!

To be honest, the playful banter and fighting during the competition these past few days has been quite entertaining.

It really should end now!

Despite saying that, Ma Long still really wanted to fight Zhuge Qing, after all, this guy claimed to have mastered the Samadhi True Fire, which seemed pretty awesome.

Xia He and others also came over and went to have breakfast together.

Xia He seemed to be able to see through Ma Long's thoughts. She walked gracefully to his side, her long hair draped over his shoulders.

"What? You have to leave now? Aren't you going to stay in Zhuge Village for a few more days?"

"Uh, sister, you figured out what I was thinking?"

Xia He chuckled upon hearing this: "You think you can hide your little gadgets from your older sister?"

It seems you're going to challenge Zhuge Qing?

Are you confident?

Xia He asked this question, but Ma Long scoffed at it.

He straightened his chest and said, "Heh, I'm not just bragging."

I'm not really interested in the title of being the best among my peers.

But I can choose not to take it; no one else can take it from me!

Such arrogant words, coming from Malone's mouth, left the people of the Salvation Palace speechless with disbelief.

On the surface, Ma Long certainly has the ability.

Feng Baobao clapped her hands and said, "Longlong, keep it up!"

Xia He pursed her lips, didn't say anything more, and simply followed Ma Long forward.

This boy from the past now fascinates her greatly; he is an invincible figure.

……

After everyone finished breakfast, they went up to the White Tiger Platform to continue the competition, but no one was really interested.

Xue Fan challenged Lu Linglong, but because Lu Linglong was unable to unleash her full strength, she was forced to drop out of the rankings, and Xue Fan moved up to sixth place.

Suddenly, Zhuge Gong announced in a deep voice: "Wang Zhenqiu, who is ranked fifth, has temporarily withdrawn from the competition."

Everyone's ranking moves up.

The current rankings are: Zhuge Qing, Ma Long, Xia He, Wang Bing, Xue Fan, Bao Chan, Lu Lin, Zhang Lingyu, Feng Shayan, and Lu Linglong.

As his words fell, the golden treasure trove was taken off the stage. He actually wanted to challenge Wang Bing, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Wang Bing looked down on Bao Chan from the bottom of his heart: "Ha, a little bald guy, dares to challenge me?"

As expected, after Wang Bing left the arena, he was brutally beaten, and even all the spiritual entities on his body were purified by Bao Chan.

"Amitabha, good, good!"

Bao Chan was satisfied and felt much more comfortable. His gaze occasionally drifted towards Feng Zhenghao at Zhuquetai.

Without saying a word, he silently walked back to Baihutai.

However, Wang Ai on the Vermilion Bird Platform was puzzled and asked Feng Zhenghao, who was standing to the side, "Little Feng."

What's going on here? Why was this monk able to purify Bing'er's spirit?

I've never heard of such a miraculous method!

Feng Zhenghao adjusted his glasses and pondered, "There is an inherent relationship of restraint between magical techniques."

Even the Eight Extraordinary Skills are no exception; they are simply invincible within their respective domains.

However, there are always ways to restrain other fields, which is why we practitioners of this generation have abandoned our prejudices against magic.

Focus on cultivating the foundation of your life force; that is the true foundation.

……

Ma Long was also amazed; Bao Chan actually had such a natural ability to restrain the evil spirit Yin Mei's methods.
