The Strongest Mythical Emperor-Chapter 187: Even More Unfair
Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Even More Unfair
"My god! Why is his energy absorption speed so terrifying?"
"Do we even need to guess? His realm is far higher than ours, even the elders of the Divine Sword Hall are no match for him!"
"Damn, can we even play this game? My energy absorption speed has been surpassed by that cultivator over there!"
"No wonder Qin Jun had him come over, we’re doomed!"
"Look, even Li Tongxuan’s energy absorption speed is slow as a turtle!"
Centered around Li Yuanba, all the cultivators within a kilometer radius cursed vehemently, especially the several hundred cultivators near Li Yuanba, who were almost unable to absorb a trace of the dragon vein’s spiritual energy.
Among them was Li Tongxuan, ranked second in strength among the ten monstrous geniuses, his face also compressed into an unsightly expression.
"Damn it!"
Li Tongxuan gritted his teeth and cursed, but he couldn’t bring himself to get up and fight for a spot elsewhere, as it would be too humiliating.
Most of the strong practitioners from the entire Nanzhuo Dynasty were watching; he wanted to be accepted by the Seven Major Sects and could not behave as rudely as Li Yuanba, since the Nanzhuo Dynasty adhered to the Righteous Dao, and most people pursued face and reputation.
However, the pillar of energy above Li Yuanba’s head had reached nearly sixty feet tall, standing out conspicuously in the spacious square.
This scene left all the onlookers speechless.
"Tsk tsk, Your Highness, that move was really sly, deliberately sending Li Yuanba to the group of martial competitors with the highest cultivation,"
Li Bai said excitedly, finding Qin Jun’s move quite refreshing.
Evening Star and the others also wore bemused smiles, guessing that the Luo Emperor and the officials on Imperial Palace Peak must be fuming.
They wanted to target Qin Jun, but ended up having the rules disrupted by him instead.
The strongest batch of competitors at the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition might be eliminated in the first round, making this event likely to become a joke.
"I wonder how long the Luo Emperor can endure..." Daji said with a shake of her head and a smile, looking at the Luo Emperor’s expressionless and somewhat ugly face.
Sha Wujing and Evening Star’s eyes brimmed with amusement and even a bit of satisfaction; serving under a master as tricky as Qin Jun was, at least, exhilarating.
If Qin Jun knew of their assessment, he would certainly spit blood.
Damn!
What tricks and cunning!
This is called being wise and resourceful, okay!
Meanwhile, the silver pillar of energy above Qin Jun’s head was already over ten feet high, perfectly orderly among the crowd; the cultivators all immersed in their own cultivation and didn’t notice Qin Jun’s anomaly, though they could hear the commotion in the distance, they still restrained themselves, not daring to get distracted.
"Hmph, playing targeting games with me? Let you know what a real strategy is!" Qin Jun thought smugly while absorbing energy, listening to the distant shouts and curses, he didn’t need to open his eyes to know that Li Yuanba had begun to dominate an area of the field.
With this thought, he continued to operate the Purple Rainbow Lightning Technique. The dragon vein’s spiritual energy was very dense, far superior to normal spiritual energy, so he quite enjoyed the process.
The most bizarre thing was that he could clearly feel that the dragon vein’s spiritual energy absorbed into his body did not leave his body, so why was there a column of air above his head?
Could it be that there’s a secret hidden beneath this square?
As Qin Jun was lost in his wild thoughts, his Purple Rainbow Lightning Technique broke through to the third level like a force rending bamboo, and a stream of foreign memories quickly poured into his mind. While his body absorbed energy instinctively, he comprehended these memories.
It was a spell that came with each level of realm in the Purple Rainbow Lightning Technique.
The third level, Summon Lightning!
As the name implies, it can summon thunder and lightning to attack enemies, it is a mass-killing spell that fits perfectly to make up for Qin Jun’s weaknesses.
As he quietly rejoiced, the silver column of energy above his head had already reached nine feet high.
Li Yuanba’s red column of energy had also broken through fifty feet, standing out among hundreds of thousands of cultivators in the square like a crane among chickens.
The tens of thousands of cultivators around Li Yuanba were all suppressed to within six feet, even Li Tongxuan, who was second only to Li Yuanba among the top ten monstrous geniuses, was merely two and a half feet high, creating a spectacle in the square.
"Damn, I can’t absorb any of the dragon vein spiritual energy at all!" Li Tongxuan cursed through gritted teeth. Among the tens of thousands of cultivators, there were four cultivators ranked among the top ten monstrous geniuses. They were in the same situation as Li Tongxuan, only slightly better since they were farther away and less affected. But even the highest among them reached no more than nine feet.
In areas far from Li Yuanba, there were those who had already reached fifteen feet, all of whom were Ascending Mortal Realm cultivators.
"These two little guys are really interesting."
On Imperial Palace Peak, Ao Wujian watched the scene below and chuckled, shaking his head while the Cangyun Sect senior members behind him had strange expressions on their faces.
No wonder Ao Wujian thought so highly of Qin Jun, this fellow was actually so ingeniously resolving the rules of the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition that Luo Emperor had set against him.
They subconsciously looked up at the Luo Emperor in the sky. Although still expressionless, they could all see a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
Clearly, Qin Jun had violated the dignity of Luo Emperor!
"This child must die!" Luo Emperor silently cursed. The rules he had set for the competition were transparent enough for any discerning person to guess they were targeted at Qin Jun, all for the sake of restricting Qin Jun and making the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition fair.
However, what Qin Jun had Li Yuanba do made the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition even less fair.
In the crude words of Earth, at this moment, Luo Emperor felt like cursing his mother!
But he had to maintain the dignity of Nanzhuo’s sovereign and could not show any expression, although the shadow in his heart was infinitely large.
Besides the Cangyun Sect, the senior members of the other Six Major Sects silently watched this scene. Li Yuanba’s strength and Qin Jun’s intelligence both moved them, but since Qin Jun had offended the God Sword Hall, which was tantamount to offending Luo Emperor, they did not dare to show favor to Qin Jun like the Cangyun Sect did.
The sect masters of the Six Major Sects weren’t all as defiant as Ao Wujian.
The head of God Sword Hall was named Zhang Leiting, who seemed like an ordinary person, but in reality, he possessed profound cultivation and extremely deep cunning, the number one powerhouse of the God Sword Hall.
"Looks like our God Sword Hall needs to be disciplined thoroughly," Zhang Leiting murmured softly. The elders behind him also showed looks of regret, including Fei Yushu.
If Qin Jun and Li Yuanba were nurtured by God Sword Hall, they might have been able to lead the sect to greater heights. Unfortunately, they were turned into enemies by some selfish and greedy bugs.
But with things as they were, they could only figure out a way to eliminate Qin Jun and Li Yuanba.
Because if the two of them grew up, they would become the nightmare of God Sword Hall.
...
Refreshing!
At this moment, that was the only feeling in Qin Jun’s heart. He had even forgotten about the energy column competition; he was utterly engrossed in energy absorption cultivation.
The dragon vein spiritual energy not only advanced his Purple Rainbow Lightning Technique, but the Immortal Holy Body also began to operate on its own.
Apparently, the dragon vein spiritual energy was suitable for body refining.
Since that was the case, Qin Jun was not going to be polite. He opened up fully and crazily absorbed the dragon vein spiritual energy. His body’s strength even surpassed that of many Ascending Mortal Realm cultivators, so he wasn’t afraid to exceed the limits his body could bear.
Just like that, the silver column above Qin Jun’s head rapidly grew taller, also drawing the attention of many powerful beings on Imperial Palace Peak.
"I didn’t expect Qin Jun to be so remarkable; the kid’s cultivation method must be of a very high rank!"
General Zhou Liang exclaimed. He wasn’t as averse to Qin Jun and Li Yuanba. In fact, he quite admired them. He had investigated afterwards and found that Qin Jun indeed acted out of righteousness. Unfortunately, the young ones from the God Sword Hall were too pampered and arrogant, and in irritation, they resorted to killing, causing a disaster.
It was a matter of time and fate.
