The greatest barrier for martial artists breaking through their limits was resources and injuries.

Even the strongest individuals couldn’t ensure that accidents wouldn’t happen during sparring, just like Xu Xienan had never anticipated that his battle with Xu Chengyuan would leave him so severely injured.

As a martial artist who wielded his sword with his right hand, a severe injury involving the dissolution of his right shoulder’s muscles and bones, if not treated in time, would mean saying farewell to the path of the sword forever.

But the medicinal elixirs capable of regenerating flesh and bones were rare everywhere, and though Xu Xienan was from a sacred background, being young and of shallow cultivation, he lacked sufficient accumulation.

Thus, to treat his injury, he could only sell his sword!

“Qingxuan Python Soul Sword, a spiritual grade sword. It contains the soul of the Wild Beast Qingxuan Python and is tempered with Xuanqing Crystal Marrow, capable of four transformations, with endless magical uses.”

Bearing the heartache, Xu Xienan resolutely placed the Spiritual Sword on the counter and declared, “Exchange it for the medicinal elixir that can regenerate flesh and bones!”

Longzhou Calendar 1790

Lanshan City, Marshal Star Pavilion’s Council Hall

Tang Luo sat at the head seat, with two rows of seats below him; one side seated martial artists led by Tang Bin who had completed the God-Creation Program, and the other side seated Marshals led by Du Sha.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Tang Luo indifferently announced the purpose of summoning the council.

“The once-in-a-decade contest for heroes will be held this year in Kunwu County. It is a good opportunity to gauge the caliber of Longzhou’s various factions’ elites.”

After two years of consolidation, the clan members who completed the God-Creation Plan had strengthened their spirits and minds through cultivation, making up for their shortcomings in mental power.

Although they were still not up to the mark in prolonged battles, if it was just a single match in the arena, they possessed enough competitive strength.

In past contests for heroes, eight titled powerhouses were usually claimed by elite disciples from various major sects, with only a rare minority of cases where a genius from a powerful clan made a sudden rise. But this proportion was pitifully small.

This meant that at the Fierce Realm level, even the best martial artists from powerful clans lacked competitiveness against sect disciples.

“Six years ago, Dao Child Bu Xiao from Martial Saint Mountain cut off the Longxi Alliance’s qualifications for the competition for five terms, which also caused many Longzhou noble families to break off their ties with us. Thus, this contest for heroes is not just to test our martial prowess but also to win back our honor!”

Tang Luo stood up, his hands pressing on the long table, and addressing everyone in a solemn voice, “Therefore, our goal for this contest for heroes is to make it to the top eight and claim half the territory of Longxi!”

“Let every sect in Longzhou understand who truly calls the shots in this edition of the contest for heroes.”

The two rows of powerful individuals below, upon hearing Tang Luo’s declared goal,

Du Sha remained as emotionless as a statue, Meng Jiao’s eyes were excitedly reddened, and as for Tang Clan members led by Tang Bin, they merely smiled reservedly, but their eyes sparkled with a combative flame.

After decades of arduous cultivation, who didn’t wish to make a name in one battle, but whether due to lack of talent or creativity, they always fell short of a sensational success.

Now, with the Supreme Divine Soul, they could surely make their names resound across the land of Longzhou!

…

Lanshan City, Yunluo Garden

“Half the territory of Longxi, are you trying to reach for the heavens?”

Yun Xiu sized up her man from head to toe, really wanting to crack open his head to see what on earth was inside: “If word gets out that the Tang Clan possesses the design for high-multiplier divine souls, even Martial Saint Mountain won’t be able to sit still.”

“Madame is meticulous.”

Tang Luo waved his hand cheerily, “That’s why, for this trip to the Heroic Arena, only two from the clan completing the god-making project will participate, one is Tang Bin, and the other is you. In this way, even if someone else sees, they will think the old instructor is just lucky, and won’t connect it back to the Tang Clan having a batch production of Supreme Divine Souls.”

“You already have the list of candidates?”

“More or less.” Tang Luo counted on his fingers for Yun Xiu, “Mr. Du Sha has appeared as a corner suite, so he can’t participate in this Heroic Arena; Meng Jiao will replace him. If he doesn’t encounter any vexing body types that are immune to all poisons, with the characteristics of the Poison Spirit Body, he should be able to lock down a title.”

“Additionally, there’s Xiao Ziyu, who broke through earlier this year and mastered the Divine Dragon Shadow diagram, with the Nirvana Fire Spirit Body and Fire God bloodline, plus the Visualizing Soul Casting completed using the ancient Fire God statue, having already reached the summit of Fierce Realm combat power level just after breaking through. He’s rightfully considered the ultimate masterpiece of the Xiao Clan’s chief, and with him, securing a title won’t be a problem either.”

“Then there’s you, who despite only reaching minor completion of the Thirty-Six Cloud Platform, its power far exceeds the Twelve Secret Techniques Cloud Platform. After entering the arena, directly use the Charming Eyes to deploy Illusion Techniques and control, coupled with powerful attacks from Cloud Platform techniques, tsk tsk tsk, who can withstand that, a guaranteed powerhouse title.”

“I had actually wanted to invite father to participate as well, to show the various factions of Longzhou how terrifying our supposedly declining body techniques can be in an arena battle, but it seems like father isn’t very interested, so the Tang Clan will only have the old instructor compete. Given his solid cultivation and strong divine soul, unless he encounters some particularly strange bloodline, securing a title shouldn’t be a big problem.”

“Lastly, there’s me.”

Tang Luo pointed at himself, said blandly, “These days the Heaven Human Heart Incantation has been giving me a lot of pressure; it’s a good opportunity to go to the arena and beat up a few masters to relieve some stress.”

Yun Xiu held her forehead, “…From the sound of it, have you already planned out the rankings for this session of the Heroic Arena?”

“Hey, I’m not unaware of the standard for titled powerhouses in past Heroic Arenas. Basically, anyone who can reach the summit of Fierce Realm combat power level can be considered a seeded player.”

Tang Luo spread his hands, “We have three here who meet the Fierce Realm summit combat standard; that locks up three spots already. If either the old instructor or Meng Jiao are not unlucky, this goal is as good as achieved!”

“What if luck isn’t good enough?”

“If it’s not good enough, then it’s not good enough, man. Bringing back three titles from the Heroic Arena isn’t impressive enough?”

Tang Luo was very open-minded, “The remaining few can be divided among Yulin Pavilion, Wuji Mansion, and the major clans of Longzhou. That’s pretty perfect too. There’s a long way ahead; no need to corner the others with no way out.”

“…Boss Luo is really generous.”

“Hahaha, all thanks to Boss Yun’s teachings, peace brings wealth right~ Hey, where are you going?”

“To practice some more, I can’t let a mistake on my part ruin Boss Luo’s plans.”

“Hey, Boss Yun is so diligent; let’s do it together!”

…

In the early months of the year 1790 of the Longzhou Calendar,

Martial Saint Mountain sent out invitations for the martial arts tournament to all the clans in Longzhou, stating that this year’s martial arts tournament will be the last one held.

Thus, this twenty-second Longzhou Youth Martial Arts Tournament would be the last one organized by Martial Saint Mountain.

As soon as the news broke out, it instantly caused an uproar across all of Longzhou, whether among sects or noble families, all were thrown into great distress.

Clearly, discontinuing the martial arts tournament was a sign of Martial Saint Mountain’s withdrawal, and the next step might be to close the mountain.

For all the young disciples of Longxi, this would be the final opportunity to make a name for themselves.
