CHAPTER 175: CHAPTER 171: MINE, ALL MINE!

"Watch out for the last wave!"

Xuan Er sent a reminder to him.

"Is Master suggesting they might team up?" Chen Xuan wasn’t foolish, immediately understanding his meaning.

"Hmm!"

"You’ve been too domineering, taking too much on your own. The last wave offers too few; if you continue like this, there won’t be enough for them to share."

Xuan Er was referring to the four Ancient Clans and the Great Zhou faction.

"Don’t worry! I know what to do!"

A team-up, is it?

"Humph!"

He let out a cold snort in his heart.

Before, he restrained himself for fear of inciting everyone’s anger.

But now it’s the last wave, there’s no need to hold back.

Anyone who dares to snatch, he’ll beat them up fiercely—one by one, pair by pair.

He’s going to claim all of the spiritual raindrops from the third wave.

Just then, Zhou Zheng suddenly sensed something unusual about his Uncle Wang, and asked:

"What’s wrong?"

"Nothing, just a minor issue, Your Majesty need not worry!"

Yi Jun’s desire to team up was unexpected, it seems Xuan Er’s apprentice was putting great pressure on them.

Otherwise, the old man wouldn’t actively lower his face to seek him out.

Nor would he.

Chen Xuan’s strength was terrifying; among these people, although there were geniuses, they paled in comparison to him.

The previous spiritual raindrops he might not care about, but the third time, the Great Zhou must take the lion’s share.

Thus, when Yi Jun proposed teaming up, he didn’t hesitate to agree.

He then began to transmit a message to a few people not far away.

They were the strongest of Great Zhou, having cultivated joint martial techniques.

Soon,

A phoenix’s cry rang out again.

Moreover, clouds began to surge in the void.

"Boom, boom~~~"

A series of rumbling sounds echoed, and the sound of the Shimmering Golden Phoenix became even more urgent.

Suddenly,

Five glowing dots appeared in the void.

"Five drops, only five drops!"

Chen Xuan rushed out instantly.

But he had already been targeted, halfway there he was intercepted by four from the four Ancient Clans.

"Move aside!"

He shouted, having no time to linger, anyone daring to block him would have to deal with his fists; he immediately launched a punch.

A fist shadow shot towards the four.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The rapid speed caused a series of explosive sounds.

"Assist me!"

Yi Jin shouted explosively, the pressure from Chen Xuan’s punch was immense; he couldn’t withstand it alone.

The other three instantly infused spiritual power into him upon seeing this.

With the spiritual power from three others, Yi Jin’s aura surged immediately, hinting at reaching the Second Grade Realm.

"Kill!"

A palm struck forth; a giant red palm emerged in the air.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise in midair, the punch and palm vanished!

The immense impact stirred a fierce wind, whipping their clothes into fluttering sounds!

"Interesting?"

Chen Xuan’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise; their cultivation techniques actually merged, enhancing his strength close to the Second Grade Realm.

"Chen Xuan, you’re too greedy! These five spiritual raindrops are beyond your reach!" At this moment, Yi Jin felt excellent; he felt no weaker than Second Grade, making him instantly arrogant.

No matter how impressive Chen Xuan was, he was just Third Grade.

The gap between Third Grade and Second Grade was like a chasm, but his state wouldn’t last long.

Thus, he shouted upwards to the Great Zhou group: "You guys, finish quickly, clear out those small fry!"

Chen Xuan looked up; the Great Zhou group was trying their best to clear out those small fry, but there were too many, and they didn’t have overwhelming power like him, so it wouldn’t be done quickly.

However, he didn’t intend to waste time on these few.

Instantly moving toward the four, it’s time to further elevate his strength.

"Be careful!"

Yi Jin’s expression changed, shouting, as their spiritual power was almost exhausted, it’s now the weakest moment.

"Still have time to worry about others! Ha ha!"

Chen Xuan snickered internally.

"Eight Directions of the Ghost Domain!"

Suddenly, overwhelming pressure appeared out of nowhere on the four, causing them to tremble, especially the three.

"What?"

They were horrified!

But Chen Xuan wouldn’t give up such an opportunity, his figure darting like an apparition, delivering a punch to each of the four!

Especially Yi Jin, the punch landed brutally on his face.

With a "crack" sound!

His facial bones likely shattered in several places!

The four plummeted like shooting stars.

"Serves you right for being arrogant and impudent!"

After cursing, he swiftly flew upwards.

By this time, the struggle above nearly reached the end.

The Great Zhou group’s strength was sufficient!

The others simply weren’t opponents, figures continuously falling from the sky.

"Damn!"

Inexplicably, this space disallowed the use of divine footwork, otherwise, it wouldn’t be so troublesome.

After spending a few breaths, he arrived in front of the remaining five from Great Zhou.

The Eight Directions of the Ghost Domain enfolded the remaining few.

Battle began!

The spiritual power within surged at this moment, exploding with Second Grade momentum.

"Get down!"

Everyone within the Eight Directions of the Ghost Domain was pressed down, unable to resist at all.

A ’human rain’ began to fall from the sky!

"What?"

"Second Grade!"

"How could it be Second Grade!"

"What martial skill is that?"

...

The crowd below almost simultaneously gasped, regardless of being First Grade or Second Grade.

"Hmph! Is that it?"

Chen Xuan showed disdain on his face, lowering his gaze with a demeanor of ruling over the world.

Then, in the direction of the spiritual raindrops, he opened his mouth slightly and inhaled; five spiritual raindrops instantly entered his mouth and were swallowed!

After doing all this, he deliberately let out a burp!

Only then did he slowly descend from the air, coming to stand beside Xuan Er.

At this moment, almost all eyes were focused on him.

"Seniors, can you not look at me like this? I’m scared!" Chen Xuan pretended to pat his chest and said with a smile.

However, in the eyes of everyone, he just looked like he was being obnoxious.

Of course, Chen Xuan didn’t mind; after all, it was already over.

After holding back for so long, why not show off a little!

"Are you Second Grade?"

Yi Jun slowly spoke, staring intently at him. The aura just now was definitely at the Second Grade Realm.

But why is it now Third Grade?

"No, I just took a pill to have a little outburst! And these are Third Grade masters, I had no choice!"

Chen Xuan began to talk nonsense, refusing to admit he was Second Grade.

Whether he believes it or not is none of his business!

Yi Jun looked at him skeptically, "Took a pill?"

What kind of pill is so miraculous, maintaining its aura without any weakening after the outburst.

He didn’t believe it!

"Xuan Er, your disciple is too domineering, swallowing all the spiritual raindrops alone! What about these people?" His grandson was eliminated early, so he was already displeased with Xuan Er and his disciple, and now he started to stir up trouble.

"Kong Yong, do you have a brain? Did your intelligence go to the dogs?"

"Spiritual raindrops are gained by fists, by strength!"

"I can’t believe that you, a dignified First Grade, would ask such a stupid question. No wonder your grandson got eliminated in the first round!"

Xuan Er’s words were also sharp, and since the facade had already been dropped, there was nothing to hold back.

"Xuan Er! Do you want to start a fight?" Kong Yong was furious; when had he ever suffered such anger, and his First Grade aura instantly erupted.

"Kong Yong, if you want to fight, then let’s fight!"

Xuan Er slowly stood up, showing disdain. This fence-sitter is not worth his attention.

The confrontation between two First Grades instantly attracted everyone’s attention.

"How presumptuous!"

A stern shout resounded through the void.

Zhou Zheng stepped through the air, followed closely by Zhou Yi.

"This is Great Zhou! If you two dare to act here, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

His eyes glimmered coldly as he looked at the two.

On the day of the founding ceremony, the most important day for Great Zhou, no matter who it was, anyone who dared to act was challenging Great Zhou, and even if it was a First Grade, Zhou Zheng dared to kill!

Kong Yong coldly looked at Xuan Er, snorted, and then withdrew his aura.

Looking at Zhou Zheng, he had a look of apology, "I was being rash!"

Xuan Er merely nodded at Zhou Zheng, then sat down again.

Apologize?

He doesn’t have that habit! He’s not a fence-sitter like Kong Yong, who bullies the weak and fears the strong!

"That’s best!"

Zhou Zheng, seeing this, did not pursue the matter further.

"Clang clang...."

The blessing ended, and the silhouette of the Shimmering Golden Phoenix reappeared in the void, letting out a pleasant phoenix cry, seemingly in a very good mood.

"Return!"

Zhou Zheng raised his head, looking at it.

"Clang clang...."

The Shimmering Golden Phoenix let out another phoenix cry as if responding to him, and the next moment, it flew toward the Imperial City.

"Alright everyone, the sacrificial ceremony is over. In three days, I will host a banquet in the Imperial Palace and hope everyone can attend!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

...

Sparse voices arose, mainly from those Second and Third Grade martial artists.

However, Zhou Zheng didn’t mind, maintaining his emperor’s dignity, and then flew toward the Imperial Palace with Zhou Yi.

Meanwhile, something happened in Great Xia.

Inside the Imperial Capital Grand Ancestral Temple.

The golden dragon continuously let out dragon roars.

In the grand hall, Qi Lin’s eyes were filled with deep concern; the National Spirit of Great Xia was not in a good state!

The original height of thirty feet had shrunk to about twenty feet at the moment Great Zhou was founded.

Not only that,

he felt a sense of gloom in his heart, feeling very uncomfortable.

After a long time, the golden dragon finally stopped, coiling atop the Dragon Pearl, but its aura was very weak.

"Xu Zhe, keep a constant watch on the state of the National Spirit, and notify me immediately if anything happens."

Qi Lin, with a serious expression, instructed.

"Yes, National Preceptor!"

Xu Zhe bowed slightly, immediately responding.

After Qi Lin left, he looked at the golden dragon, muttering to himself, "I hope nothing goes wrong."

...

After the sacrificial ceremony, Chen Xuan and his group returned to the Star Sea Tower, and upon entering his room, he immediately began cultivation.

The five spiritual raindrops were too pure; he felt something was off as soon as he swallowed them.

So he instantly sealed them with spiritual power.

Sitting cross-legged, after his mind was as calm as still water, he then unsealed them.

Instantly, the surging feeling appeared, sweeping through all parts of his body like a tide.

Quickly circulating the Nine Revolutions Secret Technique (Primordial Realm).

It wasn’t until deep into the night that he finished processing them.

Murran opened his eyes.

"So strong!"

At that moment, he truly felt very powerful as if he could punch through his former self.

"System!"

With a thought, the panel appeared.

[Realm: Martial Cultivator: First Grade (Immaculate (Fifth Level)), Spirit Cultivator: Second Stage]

"What!"

Upon seeing the information on the realm panel, Chen Xuan couldn’t help but exclaim.

Immaculate (Fifth Level)!

Spirit Cultivator, Second Stage!

These five spirit raindrops... are truly abnormal!
