196: Chapter 196 Blood Demon Zhang Fei

After wandering around Four Seas City for a few days, Wang Bin continuously used his collar to simulate changes in his Aura, almost selling out all the Spirit Liquid he had on hand.

After all this effort, the Mid-Grade Spirit Stones in his possession reached two million.

Unfortunately, he couldn't buy the large Flying Ship Magic Treasure he had been longing for.

It turned out that the Four Seas Commerce League had a rule: only Nascent Soul families, and those who had registered with the Four Seas Commerce League, were eligible to purchase large Flying Ship Magic Treasures.

However, Wang Bin also heard a rumor that someone was secretly selling such Magic Treasures, but the transaction location was not within Four Seas City.

He decided to go check it out after watching this School Grand Competition; if he really couldn't buy one, he would think of other solutions.

Finally, the highly anticipated Martial Arts Competition arrived.

The venue was the same as the previous auction house; although Wang Bin found it a bit strange, he still hurried over.

He didn't need a ticket; he just had to show his membership token from the Four Seas Commerce League.

This time, Wang Bin was attending as "Qingmu"; he dared not simulate his Aura with the collar again.

After all, there would definitely be Soul Transformation Cultivators present at this School Grand Competition.

If they discovered his simulated Aura, the secret of the collar might be exposed.

This collar was obtained from Dahuang; although it currently only has the functions of a large storage space and simulating cultivation Aura, that's only because he hasn't found a way to refine it yet.

Just the ability to simulate Aura is incredibly useful; otherwise, how could he have sold over ten thousand drops of Spirit Liquid in just ten days without arousing suspicion?

Wang Bin arrived at the familiar auction venue, only to find a light gate appearing where the auction Great Master used to stand.

In the main hall, besides a Nascent Soul Cultivator guarding the light gate, there were a few Golden Core cultivators responsible for maintaining order, and the rest were all Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining Cultivators.

Not only were there no Genius Cultivators participating in the competition, but even Nascent Soul Cultivators and Soul Transformation Cultivators were nowhere to be seen.

Before long, Wang Bin understood what was going on.

It turned out that the Grand Competition was held in the Secret Realm behind the light gate; he hadn't expected there to be a Secret Realm here.

Thinking about it carefully, it made sense; for Golden Core cultivators' battles, the Spells are powerful, and the speed is so fast.

If it were on an ordinary arena, the space would be too small, which would be unfair to many people and simply wouldn't allow Golden Core cultivators to display their true strength.

Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Cultivators watched in the main hall, where a Formation was set up to project the scenes of the battles within the Secret Realm, thus preventing them from being harmed by the residual energy of the battles.

Only Golden Core cultivators could enter the Secret Realm to watch the battles, but they had to pay a fee of one thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

Wang Bin wasn't sure if this fee was being privately collected by someone, but he didn't hesitate much and directly paid the money to enter.

He very much wanted to see how true Chosen Ones fought.

Upon entering the Secret Realm, Wang Bin saw crowds of people gathered in groups of three to five ahead.

They were divided into six teams in total, with the largest number being Cultivators who came from the Tian Yuan Empire to observe, at least over a hundred people.

The fewest people came from East Sea City, with only about twenty-something in total.

Wang Bin quickly found the crowd from West Sea City, which included over thirty Golden Core and Nascent Soul Cultivators.

He quietly flew his Flying Sword to the edge of the crowd and immediately saw Chu Yunfei, the City Lord of West Sea City, sitting in the front.

Next to Chu Yunfei sat several Nascent Soul Cultivators whom Wang Bin didn't recognize.

Chu Qingluan and Liu Yiyi, the participating contestants, stood behind Chu Yunfei.

In the crowd, Wang Bin actually saw Chu Tianwen, Chu Tianqing's older brother; he hadn't expected him to have successfully formed his Core.

Having finally encountered an acquaintance, Wang Bin naturally had to go over and inquire about the situation.

So, he hurried over and transmitted his voice, saying, "Congratulations, Brother Chu, on successfully forming your Core! Why didn't you hold a Golden Core Grand Ceremony?"

Chu Tianwen's eyes flashed with a hint of curiosity when he saw Wang Bin approach.

He remembered that Qingmu was not on the list of people coming to Four Seas City this time, so had he come on his own?

Chu Tianwen replied with a bitter smile via voice transmission, "Sigh, I only formed a Middle Grade Golden Core, so I really don't have the face to hold a Golden Core Grand Ceremony.

Come, sit next to me; we can watch the Geniuses fight together and learn a thing or two."

Wang Bin sat down accordingly, secretly glancing around and noticing that neither Chu Wu nor Chu Tianqing had come.

He originally wanted to go say hello to Chu Qingluan up front, but seeing that only Nascent Soul Cultivators were there, he dismissed the idea.

At this moment, an old man's voice rang out:

"This old man, Li Lei Yun, Vice-Leader of the Sea Territory Commerce Alliance, is the Vice Alliance Leader of the Four Seas Commerce League.

I believe everyone is clear about the rules of this competition.

A total of fifty-eight Golden Core cultivators are participating in this competition, and the top ten ranked individuals can enter the Secret Realm.

I will emphasize one last time: no deadly blows are allowed during the competition.

The competition officially begins!"

After speaking, Li Lei Yun, Vice-Leader of the Sea Territory Commerce Alliance released a trace of Soul Transformation Realm Aura before returning to his main seat and sitting down.

Two Nascent Soul Cultivators appeared in the competition arena, one of whom loudly announced:

"The competition begins! We are the referees and will ensure the safety of the contestants' lives.

Participating Disciples may verbally and clearly concede during the battle; once conceded, the opponent immediately wins, and the battle terminates.

If one Disciple loses consciousness due to an opponent's attack and cannot continue the match, the opponent wins, and the battle terminates.

The first group to enter the arena are Zhang Fei from East Sea City and Chu Junle from West Sea City!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Fei flew directly from the East Sea City Formation to the center of the arena, and an Aura of Golden Core Perfection surged forth.

His blood-red hair moved without wind, and with an indifferent expression on his face, he looked towards the direction of the Four Seas City crowd.

Chu Junle also flew out from the crowd, his expression solemn.

He was only at the Golden Core Stage, and since childhood, he had always been regarded as a Genius in the Chu Family, an object of envy for his siblings, and the pride of his parents.

But it wasn't until this trip to Four Seas City to participate in the competition that he realized there were always people better than you, and there was always a higher heaven.

He knew in his heart that his chances of winning were too low; the difference in Realm between the two sides was simply too great.

But for the sake of the Chu Family's reputation, he couldn't just surrender, could he?

Moreover, even if he couldn't win, he had to probe Zhang Fei's strength for Chu Qingluan.

"Seven Star Sword Formation!"

Chu Junle roared and attacked first, directly using his most powerful move.

Instantly, seven Magic Treasure Flying Swords revolved around his body.

He pointed his finger forward, and the seven Flying Swords aligned in a row, shooting towards Zhang Fei.

"Blood Shield!"

Zhang Fei lightly shouted, and a mist of blood floated out from his body, rapidly forming a ten-meter-thick blood-red shield centered around him.

The seven Flying Swords pierced into Zhang Fei's Blood Shield in the blink of an eye, and Chu Junle's heart filled with joy.

But soon he realized the situation was not good; after the Flying Swords penetrated three meters, they could no longer advance an inch.

Moreover, the Flying Swords seemed to be stuck in a swamp, impossible to pull out.

Not only that, but he also felt that his Flying Sword Magic Treasures were being contaminated by the blood Qi within the Blood Shield.

In a moment of urgency, Chu Junle quickly unleashed a Divine Sense attack, using Mental Piercing ten times in a row, while simultaneously using the power of the unowned Divine Sense within the Mind Stabilizing Pearl in his chest to replenish his Sea of Consciousness.

Unfortunately, Mental Piercing also failed to penetrate the Blood Shield's defense; this Blood Shield could even resist Divine Sense attacks?

Suddenly, blood began to flow from Chu Junle's seven orifices, and two Flying Swords had already been contaminated by the Blood Shield; his Divine Sense and spiritual power both suffered backlash.

Fortunately, his Physical Body had reached the level of a third-rank treasure body, so this injury was still considered minor.

He gritted his teeth, preparing to self-detonate a Flying Sword Magic Treasure; although this would injure him more severely, it should be able to hurt Zhang Fei on the other side.

But just then, he suddenly noticed something was wrong; his blood was flowing out uncontrollably, and the flow rate was getting faster and faster.

At this rate, in less than ten breaths, all the blood in his body would be drained.

Although for a Golden Core cultivator, the most important things are the Golden Core and the Sea of Consciousness, excessive blood loss is also not good and will cause serious damage to the Physical Body.
