Chapter 419: You Land You Lose

It was late at night.

Hao Ren, who was immersed in cultivation, maintained a state of stability, and the body's abundant nature essence continued to impact new openings.

Zhao Kuo's way of tempering the body with five-elemental essences was a method that Hao Ren had never thought of before. Hao Ren's previous cultivation method was to simply maintain the balance between the five elements and then strike openings with abundant nature essences.

In fact, the five-elemental essences that condensed to a certain concentration could also temper one's body. This cultivation method was safer and more sustainable than the lightning cultivation.

Zhao Kuo was once a Qian-level master, and he was experienced in cultivation. Therefore, he could quickly reach Dui-level in a short period of time, and he was quite skilled in the use of Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll.

"If there's no accident, Qin Shaoyang would arrange a battle between Third Uncle and me..." Thinking of going up against Zhao Kuo, Hao Ren felt excited and nervous at the same time.

When his nature essence moved to the top of his head at the Baihui Acupoint, a tingling sensation spread from the top of his head to his body. This was the indirect effect of Lu Linlin's annihilation of Hao Ren's sword energy.

It was as if his natal dharma treasure was damaged, and Hao Ren was affected. After all, Hao Ren's sword energies were like his natal dharma treasures.

Lu Linlin grasped the sword energy, locked in the streak of the spiritual sense, and then extinguished it. This let Hao Ren withstood more than ten times the pain of losing ordinary sword energies.

The night passed by little by little, the light of dawn came in through the cracks of the windows.

Hao Ren let out a long breath and finally circulated the nature essence according to the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll for 300 complete cycles.

Premier Xia was lying on a chair and had fallen asleep.

"Gongzi! Gongzi!"

The voices of Lu Linlin and Lu Lili rang outside the room.

Premier Xia in the chair shuddered and fell onto the floor. He quickly got up and opened the door.

"Gongzi!"

The two sisters cheerfully hopped in. "It is almost time, Gongzi, eat something and get ready for the combat exam!"

"En..." Hao Ren nodded, feeling a bit of a headache.

"This is the new clothes that we took on behalf of the Gongzi, quickly put on it!" Lu Lili took out a new robe, reaching out to him.

Hao Ren wanted to resist. However, he couldn't match Lu Lili's hand speed and proficiency. Lu Lili's quick hands grabbed a few sharp corners from Hao Ren's old clothes and immediately took off his clothes.

"Gongzi, let us change for you!" Lu Lili held the new robe, and with Lu Linlin's hands, jerked it twice, and put it on Hao Ren comfortably.

Standing in the room, Premier Xia looked at Hao Ren, thinking that even the current dragon king didn't have such a treatment... With the brand-new robe, Hao Ren swept away the slight dizziness and appeared upright and extraordinary.

Today's robe was of the same style as yesterday's, but the material used was more than twice as good.

The dark blue robe, which was lined with strands of thin thread, felt soft but sturdy. It seemed like ordinary weapons couldn't cut through the clothes.

These thin lines were obviously advanced materials, and this robe had also risen to the level of dharma treasure!

Hao Ren, dressed in a blue robe, stood in the room and turned around casually. The robes glowed with shallow golden light. With Hao Ren's gestures, it made him shone with elegance.

"Gongzi..." Lu Linlin said to Hao Ren while she trimmed the corners of the robe and complained, "Last night, there is a cultivator in the building who tried to spy on us with his spiritual sense dharma treasure!"

"Oh... what happened later?" Hao Ren asked, sweating on his forehead.

"Fortunately, my sister was very vigilant, and she immediately extinguished the spiritual sense," Lu Lili rushed to say.

"Yeah, Gongzi. I didn't expect that there would be such a shameless person in the building. I light-handedly gave this person a punishment, enough for him to endure a full night of pain," Lu Linlin said indignantly.

"En, en!" Lu Lili energetically nodded. "It's said that there are so many evil people in the world, but there are so few good people like Gongzi!"

Hao Ren listened to their conversations, and his face turned red and white.

In fact, last night was the first time he used sword energy for detection. Hearing the sound in the Lu's sister's room, he got curious, and his sword energy entered their room unexpectedly. This was actually not his original intention...

"Hmph! Later when we discover who used the spiritual sense dharma treasure to probe, we will not forgive him lightly!" Lu Linlin said.

"En en! If Gongzi discovers such a person later, you must beat him up!" Lu Lili agreed with her.

"Cough, cough..." Hao Ren dry coughed twice, thinking that he should no longer casually use sword energies to spy on others.

"Gongzi Hao, shall we... go down?" Premier Xia saw that Hao Ren's face was twisting and asked tentatively.

"Let's go! Let's go!" Hao Ren hurried out of the room.

The corridor outside the room could see the lobby on the first floor. Zhao Guang, Zhao Hongyu, Zhao Yanzi, Xie Yujia, Elder Lu, Elder Sun, and Zhen Congming sat around two square tables respectively.

Hao Ren, dressed in a bright blue robe, walked down the stairs and immediately caught the attention of the cultivators in the hall.

In this three-story building, the key residents were the top six cultivators who were going to take part in the new round of combat exam today. Now that it was only a short time away from the exam, the tension was already soaring and spreading in the building.

In the hall, there were already five other blue-robed cultivators. Hao Ren was the latest one to appear.

The four blue-robed cultivators were accompanied by their support teams, and only Zhao Kuo sat on the corner of the table alone, quietly drinking water and eating white steamed buns.

Zhao Kuo didn't have any support teams and said nothing. But even so, who would dare to provoke him. He was a madman who defeated two Kun-level cultivators!

Dui-level, Dui-level, Xun-level, Xun-level, Xun-level.

Hao Ren walked from the stairs to the hall, and he scanned the realms of the other five blue-robed cultivators as he walked down. When he stepped into the hall, he immediately felt that dozens of cultivators swept their spiritual senses toward him.

They all wanted to see if Hao Ren had changed in realm over the night.

Mid-tier Gen-level. Hao Ren's realm was exactly the same as last night, so dozens of spiritual senses were immediately withdrawn.

"Hao Ren, here!" Zhao Hongyu slightly waved toward Hao Ren.

Hao Ren sped up and went to Zhao Hongyu's table.

"What is Third Uncle doing? He is not showing interest to anyone," Zhao Yanzi complained while having white porridge.

"Your Third Uncle certainly has his plans; you don't need to mess with him," Zhao Hongyu shook her head and said.

"Oh..." Zhao Yanzi was not convinced.

Her third uncle who had previously been the most kind to her now didn't even pay attention to her. This emotional gap for her was hard to adapt.

Dong... Dong... Dong... The bell of the Dragon God Shrine suddenly sounded.

It was seven in the morning!

Six level 2 inspectors entered the building. One of them came to Hao Ren and asked him to follow.

Hao Ren, who hadn't had time to eat, grabbed four white steamed buns and followed this level 2 inspector toward the inner city.

On both sides of the street, the cultivators who were waiting for the opening of the inner city suddenly saw Hao Ren and the blue-robed cultivators coming. All eyes were shining.

The cultivators wearing blue robes were the strongest in the Dragon God Shrine's general exams!

All the blue robes had two glittering silver dragon embroideries near their shoulders, and all the blue-robed cultivators had bright yellow identity tokens on their waists.

Yi Mao, Ding Yin, Wu Mao, Ji Yin, Geng Yin, Ren Yin.

The six blue-robed cultivators, led by six inspectors, walked into the area.

Wah wah wah... Immediately afterward, countless cultivators poured into the inner city like a tide.

After a night, the damaged grand arena had been repaired, and even the 24 small arenas had been completely fixed.

Qin Shaoyang, who wore a golden robe, raised his head and stuck out his chest, slowly coming out of the Dragon God Shrine. The six deputy examiners were still wearing silver silk robes.

Qin Shaoyang's robe was different from yesterday's, showing his identity as the main examiner of the east exam area!

"Who lands on the ground losses! No matter dead or injured!" Qin Shaoyang walked to the center of the stand and said loudly.

"No matter dead or injured..." These words echoed in waves in the east exam area.

During yesterday's combat exams, if one mistakenly killed an opponent, he or she would permanently lose the qualification to participate in future exams at the Dragon God Shrine. In today's combat exams, even this rule was abolished!

When masters were fighting, they had to give their 100% effort. Anyone who didn't do that would lose. Therefore, in order to choose the strongest, the cultivators could fight freely!

"The first match is Ding Yin versus Wu Mao, the second match is Ji Yin versus Geng Yin. and the third match is Yi Mao versus Ren Yin!" Qin Shaoyang casually announced the arrangement.

Yi Mao versus Ren Yin!

Hao Ren tightened his fists. As expected, Qin Shaoyang arranged him and Zhao Kuo to become opponents to fight!

Standing in front of Hao Ren, Zhao Kuo, who had heard this arrangement, simply snorted and didn't even look back at Hao Ren.

"Snap! Snap!"

The two cultivators of the 'Ding Yin' token and the 'Wu Mao' token went onto the arena at the same time.

One was a Dui-level cultivator, and the other was a Xun-level cultivator.

The two gave a slight gesture and suddenly unleashed their power.

Pang... The nature essences collided, and both of them flew 100 meters away.

One stood in the Li Xia Arena, and the other stood in the Qiu Fen Arena.

Hao Ren was surprised at first, but he soon understood everything.

The so-called 'land and lose' meant that if one fell out of the arenas, the cultivator would lose. The scope of this battle was not limited to the grand arena; the 24 smaller arenas around it were also places to land!

As a result, the scope of the battle would be greatly expanded!

The entire east exam area was a battlefield!

At this time, Su Han slowly walked out of the Dragon God Shrine with a ponytail.
