Chapter 285 -176 Literary Society Martial Arts Competition_2

Zuo Chuan awkwardly said, “That can only mean, if we fought General Lu, we would definitely lose.”

Chen Qing walked over, glanced at the score, tossed a comment, “Fair enough,” and walked away.

Upon hearing this, Ying Wugang and Zuo Chuan understood even more clearly that their score was not unjustly lowered by the judges.

Ying Wugang and Zuo Chuan fought a big fight, yet did not get angry and instead agreed to go drink at a tavern in the city.

Ying Wugang drank a cup and said, “I wonder what score the lord would give us if he judged.”

Zuo Chuan clinked glasses with Ying Wugang, “I’ve heard that when Lord Wei campaigned against the Dragon Elephant Tribe, he told Lu Shenglong, ‘Survive three of my attacks, and I’ll spare your life!'”

Ying Wugang was shocked, “He’s so much stronger than General Lu?”

Zuo Chuan replied, “What’s more terrifying is that General Lu almost died back then.”

“It’s said he took over a month to heal before he could barely move.”

“And now, Lord Wei has acquired the spiritual items Xuanjia Gu and Dragon Horse Gu, which makes him even stronger.”

Ying Wugang said, “Doesn’t that mean Lord Wei alone can suppress the entire Nanli, leaving all Foundation Establishment cultivators unable to lift their heads?”

Zuo Chuan said, “Lord Wei is different from us; he is destined to contend for Heavenly Destiny against the Master of Mortal World in the Death Realm and the true dragon of Da Yan.”

“One such person appears only once in eight hundred years.”

“Without divine skills like Fatian Xiangdi, one remains an ordinary person.”

“Born in this time, you should feel fortunate. Not only can you witness a piece of history with your own eyes, but you can also be personally involved.”

Ying Wugang said, “It’s all about timing and fate, not something we can control.”

Zuo Chuan said, “If we win, then it is us who control it!”

Ying Wugang said, “This Death Realm will be even bloodier than the one three hundred years ago.”

“It’s said that three hundred years ago, in the Death Realm, almost every cultivator who entered was nine out of ten times likely to die.”

“Nine out of ten had to die in there.”

Zuo Chuan remarked, “That’s how it is; the Death Realm is different from the outside. Outside, if you surrender, they might let you go.”

“In the Death Realm, once war begins, one side must be completely annihilated before it ends.”

After chatting for a while, the two noticed shadows running on the street, heading towards the academy.

Yang La entered the academy, staying in his small room; there were no individual courtyards, only one room per person.

Arrangements for food and accommodation were made naturally; they only needed to wait patiently for a summons.

After waiting for half a day, a messenger child finally came, and following the child all the way to the center of the academy, he walked into a study. Miao Shun raised his eyes to look at him and recited, “Yang La, Power Gu, Eighth-Transformation, is it?”

Yang La nodded.

Miao Shun gesture with his hand to the cushion in front of his desk, “Sit down.”

Yang La sat, listening to Miao Shun’s arrangement.

Miao Shun picked up a pen and asked, “At what transformation was the contract made?”

Miao Shun replied, “Third Transformation!”

“Describe in detail each material used for your advancement, including an approximate quantity.”

Yang La began to recall carefully the materials for his Power Gu’s transformation, “Third to Fourth Transformation required a pair of ivory, once consumed…”

Miao Shun recorded everything Yang La said, totaling five types of materials.

“Five types of materials, that’s fairly good, allowing for a more accurate calculation.”

“Hmm, let me see, a total of fifty yin and twenty-four yang, which should make it yang.”

“Looking at it this way, in the wild state, it likely ascended using yang attribute materials.”

“From First to Third Transformation, two types of materials, a lower yang attribute, about eight points.”

“For the Ninth Transformation, supplement the final Yang Eighteen, which should be an item with Yang Eighteen!”

“Never used demon tiger teeth, which have 9.8 yang attribute, slightly low.”

“It should be Demon Tiger Teeth!”

“Demon Tiger Teeth, yang inclined towards eighteen point one.”

Miao Shun wrote down his reasoning and Gu information on a piece of paper, picked it up, “Take it and deliver it to the courtyard outside. After the portrait, it will be publicized.”

Yang La, hearing those strange numbers, didn’t know what to say.

What yin and yang, he didn’t understand.

So he could only hold this paper full of writing, but unreadable.

Arriving at the courtyard near the street, as soon as he walked in, an artist started to paint his portrait.

Cultivators painted using painting Gu, and with a stroke of the brush, his likeness vividly appeared on paper.

With his information, name, and the quality of his Gu insect written, he was led to the street.

The artist posted Yang La’s portrait on a wall, then addressed the crowd of cultivators gathered on the street, “Everyone look, Yang La, Power Gu, Eighth-Transformation!”

Once done, the artist urged Yang La, “Quickly show everyone your Eighth-Transformation Gu insect.”

Hearing this, Yang La presented his Power Gu. The Eighth-Transformation Power Gu lay in his palm, showcased to the watching cultivators.

Only then did the artist say, “Everyone take a good look, this is an Eighth-Transformation Power Gu!”

Once said, the artist appended the image of this Gu insect onto Yang La’s portrait, matching its size exactly to that in his hand.

The cultivators on the street immediately started clamoring, “We all saw, Old Artist, hurry up, we’re waiting to see his Gu insect’s transformation!”

After completing these tasks, the artist took a large seal and stamped it onto the sheet.

After certifying Yang La’s situation, the artist brought him back to the academy, “Take this paper previously given to you, go to the materials distribution point, and they will naturally give you the finest materials.”

Yang La nodded, inquiring around to find the materials distribution area, got in line, and waited no longer than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before he obtained a tiger demon tooth worth five hundred Spirit Stones.

This tiger demon tooth was entirely white, clearly made with top-quality materials, without any dare to tamper with it.

Upon receiving the tiger demon tooth, Yang La returned to the courtyard and began to feed the Gu insect.

The next morning, someone came with a warning, “Once any sign of your Gu insect’s transformation is discovered, immediately go to the artist to verify the success of the transformation.”

For a week in his room, with doors closed, he studied and fed his Gu insect.

This particular morning, while cultivating, Yang La suddenly opened his eyes, feeling a unique tremor within his body!

He quickly spread his hand, his Power Gu’s surface had hardened, “Is it going to transform?”

“Did it really work?”

Carefully holding his Gu insect, Yang La jogged to the artist, “Master, my Power Gu has transformed!”

Hearing this news, the artist seemed genuinely delighted, leading Yang La to the street, having him stand before his portrait.

Then began the introduction, “Everyone take note, his Power Gu is about to ascend from Eighth to Ninth Transformation!”

Yang La spread his hand, letting all watch his Power Gu’s transformation process.

At this point, he couldn’t bother hiding his Gu insect.

He was naturally participating in verifying whether the Divine Book was real, so he also tried his best to cooperate.

An hour slowly passed by; Yang La’s Gu insect shed its skin, allowing more than twenty people on the street to witness this moment firsthand.

“It really did work!”

“He seems to be the second one, right?”

“Yes, there are twenty in total on this wall; he’s the second to successfully transform!”

“How many days has it only been? It already succeeded?”

“Who knows how many in total have succeeded?”

“I checked by the academy’s entrance; there are seventy-two people!”

“Seventy-two in seven days?”

“Tomorrow, the day after, probably more.”

Listening to the cultivators’ discussion, Yang La suddenly felt that this book was truly magical!

The cycle for a Gu insect’s transformation generally ranges from seven to ten days.

If properly fed, transformation success could occur within the span of seven to ten days.

At night, Yang La did not continue sitting in his room; instead, he prepared to go out for a walk. Arriving at the edge of the academy, he could see the bright lights outside.

It seemed like quite a number of cultivators were waiting for news at night.

In various taverns, numerous cultivators gathered together, calculating how many had successfully transformed.

The outside was bustling, and the academy was not quiet either. After a short while, Yang La heard someone loudly exclaim, “My Gu insect has transformed!”

“Ascended, ascended!”

“My Gu insect transformed too!”

Hearing the sounds from the academy, the noise in the taverns outside immediately grew louder.

“Another one, no, two!”

“Go, go, go, let’s see who made it!”
