No, the time isn't up yet. He'll definitely return!
Mo Yiyun firmly believed in Ao Lingchen. He would definitely be fine. He would definitely come back to slap these mocking people in the face.
No matter what Mo Yiyun thought, it didn't affect the comments of the surrounding spectators. Under the guidance of Zhang Yufei's words, these people also thought that Ao Lingchen no longer had the strength to fight and stopped in the top five.
The square was filled with noise. At this moment, Ao Lingchen's situation was not as miserable as they had imagined. Currently, his Qi was oppressive, and the Yuan Qi in his body was like a wild horse that had lost its reins. He crazily rushed into his meridians, which were getting tougher and tougher. His Dantian became golden under the energy of the Qi and the medicinal force. His internal organs were adorned with starlight, and under the tempering of his Yuan Qi, the bones all over his body emitted a vibrating sound. His body was like a giant dragon, gradually awakening. The power that lay dormant in the deepest part of his body was terrifying to the extreme. It was a fluctuation that could destroy everything once it erupted!
Ao Lingchen ignored the changes in his body, because with his body as the center, boundless spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth gathered from all directions and seeped into his body through the pores of his breathing. Merging with the force of nature, it turned into pure Yuan energy, flowing through all the meridians in his body. Finally, it settled into his dantian, which was like the sun, and turned into stable Yuan Qi.
More and more Yuan Qi gathered. The shackles on Ao Lingchen's body were like sandpaper as they met the water pillar.
Crack! Ao Lingchen's soul faintly heard a crisp sound from within his body, as if something in his body had been broken.
Above his Dantian, Yuan Qi was like a surging river that galloped forward. A powerful force burst out from the depths of his body, and a faint Yuan Qi rippled around his body. The powerful Yuan Qi gave Ao Lingchen an extremely powerful feeling.
After stepping into the late stage of a martial artist, Ao Lingchen could feel that the Yuan Qi in his body was vastly different from before. The thickness of his Yuan Qi was shocking, at least twice as thick as before.
There was such a huge gap between a middle stage and a late stage martial artist. What if it was compared to a peak martial artist or even a martial master? The difference was probably even greater!
Thinking of this, Ao Lingchen knew that if he wanted to reach the top of the competition, he had to be even more cautious. Even if he had already broken through to the late stage, it would still be very difficult because the biggest obstacle was Luo Yunfei, who was at the peak of martial artists.
Ao Lingchen slowly opened his eyes. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and a powerful aura instantly swept around him.
Taking a deep breath, Ao Lingchen's body trembled. He gently shook his neck, loosened his body, and slowly stood up. He clenched his fists and felt the strength of his qi and blood like a beast. A faint smile appeared on his face.
His current condition was just too good. It was unprecedentedly good. The injuries on his body had completely healed when the Minor Rejuvenation Medicinal Pill and his cultivation base broke through. The blood essence that surged out from his body from time to time had filled him with confidence in the upcoming battle!
"Crunch!"
The sound of the door opening shocked Xia Jingxue, who was pacing in the corridor outside the room. She hurriedly turned around and looked at the door.
A familiar figure walked out of the room, although it seemed that her clothes were stained with blood. There were also quite a number of tattered areas, but from his rosy face, one could see that... His aura was abnormally stable and his aura had become even stronger!
"Late stage martial artist actually broke through!"
Seeing Ao Lingchen walk out of the room, Xia Jingxue immediately noticed that he was different. His cultivation actually broke through while recuperating.
"Xue'er, thank you for your Little Recovery Pill!"
Ao Lingchen's face showed gratitude. He knew that if it wasn't for the Minor Rejuvenating Pill that Xia Jingxue had provided, not to mention a breakthrough in cultivation, even the injuries on his body would not have been able to heal.
"En!" Xia Jingxue was stunned for a moment, but she suddenly thought of something. She hurriedly held Ao Lingchen's hand and ran out. "Don't talk first. Let's go to the square first. There is no time for the second round of the top three battles!"
"The second round!" Ao Lingchen's feet moved like the wind, and his eyes flickered with a cold light. The examination of the competition was something he attached great importance to. He tried his best to heal his injuries in order to recover some of his combat strength and participate in the later battles. Now that his cultivation base had increased dramatically because of the Minor Rejuvenating Pill, how could he be willing to miss this rare opportunity?
On the square in the Green Stone Platform, the competitive elder Peng Yuansheng stood in the center. His eyes swept across the crowd below. "The second round will begin now. There are four numbers and one advancement sign here. Now, go on the stage and draw lots!"
Although Peng Yuansheng also wanted to see if Ao Lingchen had recovered and continued to participate in the following battles, he would not let anyone put the competition behind. Therefore, when the time was up, he would inform the competition to begin.
Zhang Yufei, Luo Yunfei, and the other two students who had entered the top ten all walked up to Green Stone Platform. They were all full of energy. They were all looking forward to the upcoming battle. Everyone stood on the stage and kept a certain distance from each other. They were afraid of each other.
Standing on the stage, Zhang Yufei's mouth revealed a hint of mockery. He didn't see Ao Lingchen proving what he had just said. This kid had lost the ability to walk onto the stage because of that strike just now!
"Alright, let the draw begin now!"
Peng Yuansheng's expression was calm as he placed a box of lots in front of everyone.
Zhang Yufei looked at the box of lots, and a smile appeared on his face. "Elder, if that Ao Lingchen did not participate in the drawing of lots, does it mean that he left directly?"
Peng Yuansheng glanced at Zhang Yufei and said in a calm tone, "Five lots. After the four of you draw the lots, the remaining one will be his. As for whether he can participate in the following battles, that will depend on whether he has appeared or not."
Peng Yuansheng wasn't speaking for Ao Lingchen. This was a very normal arrangement. Zhang Yufei only shrugged his shoulders in response to this arrangement. He didn't care about it at all. In his opinion, even if Ao Lingchen really came back in the end, it would be useless. He was just a piece of trash.
"Number 1!"
Zhang Yufei took a look at the red ball in his hand and handed it over to Peng Yuansheng. Besides the advancement ball, he didn't care which match he was in. He only cared about who his opponent was. In his heart, there was only one opponent he needed to be wary of. That was the peak martial artist Luo Yunfei!
"Number three!"
Luo Yunfei casually looked at the red ball in his hand and handed it over to the competitive elder. It didn't matter which red ball he obtained. With his strength, the champion would definitely be him.
"Number 4!"
The other two who had entered the top five also called his number. His face became darker and darker. He hadn't expected this.
"Upgrade!"
The last person looked at the red ball in his hand with a look of pleasant surprise. The red ball in his hand had the words' Promotion 'written on it. One had to know that if one directly entered the top three without a fight, even if one stopped at the third place, there would still be generous rewards!
"Haha, I didn't expect my luck to be so good, to actually be able to get together with that crippled trash!"
When everyone was envious of that person's luck in getting the red ball, Zhang Yufei's face was filled with arrogant laughter. In his opinion, Ao Lingchen no longer had the ability to go on stage. He was also the type of person who could directly advance!
