Chapter 316: 0216 Tyrant’s Qi (4k seeking double monthly tickets at month’s end)

At the All Nations Martial Arts Competition, Lu Chenzhou had seen many Cultivators exude overwhelming dominance, the most typical being the [Heavenly Dominance] of the Cangtian Dragon King.

In one match, the Dragon King’s opponent was a Martial Arts King, who under the influence of Heavenly Dominance, lost his confidence in a blink and eventually withdrew ashamed from the contest.

How strong was the will of the Martial Arts King? Even when facing formidable Void Things, he would not show fear. However, there was no choice against the dominance of Cangtian Dragon King... considered the world’s number one.

He could repel enemies without bloodshed!

The battle that left the deepest impression on Lu Chenzhou was the decisive fight between Cangtian Dragon King and the King of Fighting, Jia Ge Lie. These two top-level fighters were merely standing on the stage, exchanging invisible forces, and they tore apart the thick clouds that shrouded the surroundings. Within the aura of these two strong fighters, there was lightning and thunder, violent storms, as if it were the apocalypse.

In a moment, heaven shifted and all phenomena stirred.

This was a clash of auras!

"Not bad, another interesting special effect."

Lu Chenzhou didn’t hesitate to integrate it.

"Still short of one first-rank Divine Seed to evolve into a True Skill-Level Divine Seed."

This integration...

The [Dominance] special effect merged into [Mystic Tiger Spirit]’s [Tiger Power] category. Effects related to aura can be integrated into Qi Po, enhancing its capabilities.

[Tiger Power: Simultaneously activates Evil Qi, Dominance, and Tiger Roar. Those with weak wills will enter a compelled rigid state for the duration of one breath during which they cannot move freely. Those with weaker wills will be temporarily subjugated to you, intimidated and controlled by you, but without loyalty.]

Seeing this special effect, Lu Chenzhou’s eyes lit up.

"A tiger’s shock makes the enemies submit? Interesting, although it is just short-term intimidation and control, if used well, it could have miraculous effects. Good stuff."

...

The next day.

Upon waking up in the morning, Lu Chenzhou turned on his mobile phone.

[Your account ending in 9527 received a transfer of 20 million from Daoist Science and Technology (Note: Talent Sponsorship Fund), current balance 43 million...]

"Another 20 million credited."

According to his agreement with Daoist Science and Technology as an SSS level talent, after becoming a Martial Artist, the sponsorship from Daoist Science and Technology automatically doubled to 20 million. Breaking the second shackles would increase it to 40 million, and the third shackles to 80 million... As for Martial Arts Grandmasters, it is no longer about monetary sponsorship; Grandmasters don’t lack money, what they need are resources.

Before becoming a Grandmaster, resources could still be purchased with money.

After advancing to Grandmaster, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, rare beasts and birds, top-level medicines, and Inheriting Divine Weapons, these items, not sold in markets, are distributed by Da Xia’s Martial Arts Universities based on merit. Therefore, Daoist Science and Technology’s sponsorship would also change to these resources. As a leading enterprise, Daoist Science and Technology naturally had corresponding quotas.

Lu Chenzhou sent a text message to Chen Ye.

[Lu Chenzhou: Thanks, President Chen.]

[Chen Ye: You’re welcome, the company is just fulfilling its contract. Moreover, your achieving first place nationally has also brought considerable indirect benefits to the company. Feel free to use it.]

...

The weather was gloomy, hot and humid.

At eight in the evening, in the meeting room of Pingjiang Police Station.

Duan Lingyu assessed the young man in front of him and shook hands, saying:

"Hello, I’m Duan Lingyu."

Lu Chenzhou smiled and replied:

"I’ve seen you before."

He had heard about this big shot from his senior sister, who reportedly could launch invisible Gang Qi blades with his fingers, instantly penetrating armored vehicles, quite like a human Gatling.

Duan Lingyu said:

"Hold on a moment, you have teammates coming soon, take a seat first."

After sitting down, Lu Chenzhou asked:

"Isn’t Director Lu here?"

"He heard that a master of the Evil Path was spotted somewhere and has taken a team to apprehend him."

"Is it Tang Zheng?"

"Yes, this scoundrel, since arriving in Su City, has been deliberately spreading demonic skills, creating chaos. Many martial artists and even Martial Artists with weak resolve have been lured in."

"May I ask what kind of demonic skill? So I can be wary in the future."

"’Devouring Heaven Demon Skill’, and its simplified version ’Blood Transformation Technique’. If you encounter suspects of this kind, report them to us immediately. Under no circumstance should you learn it."

Lu Chenzhou’s expression grew solemn.

"So it is this demonic skill. Rumors say it can transform others’ Qi-Blood for one’s own benefit, although only a trace at a time, it’s still much faster than normal cultivation."

Duan Lingyu stated:

"From ancient times to the present, any martial arts that absorb others’ Qi-Blood and life have been demonic skills with severe side effects... because the philosophy of such martial arts is wrong from the beginning, violating human ethics and damaging heaven’s harmony, a great sin! Demonic skills are not martial arts! This fundamentally denies the original intentions of the sages who created Martial Arts!"

Duan Lingyu deeply detested Tang Zheng.

This man alone brought down the reputation of Pingjiang Martial Arts University.

As the two discussed,

A young man with short hair dressed in loose training clothes floated in.

Duan Lingyu introduced:

"Chenzhou, let me introduce you, specifically requested from the Galaxy Martial University branch in Magic City by Director Lu, an expert in cross training, Gui Lingtong."

Gui Lingtong looked at Lu Chenzhou and greeted with a smile, holding his fists:

"Lu Chenzhou?"

"That’s me."

"Hahaha, Dragon City’s top figure, I’ve long admired your renown."

After some social interaction, Lu Chenzhou learned that Gui Lingtong was the class monitor of the Star Class where Wang Gang was, and he realized that where there was cross training, there would be Wang Gang.

Among the experts of cross training in Jiangnan, Wang Gang knew eight out of ten.

Duan Lingyu quickly shifted to the main topic, explaining the mission.

"Our target is called Jiang Zixu..."

...

Su City.

Beside the moat.

Inside a private villa built in Jiangnan style.

A figure sat alone, sipping tea, contemplating blue lotus flowers in his mind.

Jiang Zixu, Incense Master of the Blue Lotus Sect.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, looking toward the courtyard.

"Who?"

A thin, old figure stood at the doorway.

"It’s me."

"Xia Xiaodao? What are you doing here?"
