A Martial Contest for a Bride! (4K)

Although Lu Changsheng has been focusing on cultivation recently, he has not neglected his disciples.

He knew that in this Stars Pavilion martial arts contest to find a husband, Chen Xiaoyao's biggest opponent was Zhang Sheng of the Dragon-Tiger Sect, who had a Seventh Layer of the Void Refinement Realm.

Chen Xiaoyao's current cultivation level is the Fifth Layer of the Void Refinement Realm, which is two levels lower than Zhang Sheng's.

Chen Xiaoyao possesses Pure Yang Body, while Zhang Sheng also Special Physique.

As the young sect leader of the Dragon-Tiger Sect, Zhang Sheng certainly doesn't lack Law Treasures and Cultivation Method, making him an absolute formidable opponent.

Lu Changsheng could lend the treasure "Twelfth-Rank Karma-Fire Red Lotus" to Chen Xiaoyao, but with Chen Xiaoyao's cultivation level, his True Qi is insufficient to activate the Twelfth-Rank Karma-Fire Red Lotus, which would instead harm Chen Xiaoyao.

The most suitable magic Law Treasure for Chen Xiaoyao at present is Middle-Grade Immortal Artifact.

Currently, only low-grade Low-Grade Immortal Artifacts can be bestowed upon Chen Xiaoyao Middle-Grade Immortal Artifacts can also be bestowed upon him. There is no Disciple-Teaching Rebate.

However, Lu Changsheng had his own plan.

"Qingzhi, I'm giving you a few Law Treasures; you can then pass them on to your junior brother."

Lu Changsheng took out the Middle-Grade Immortal Artifact, the "Mystic Fire Mirror".

Lu Changsheng used this Law Treasure to kill Demon General whose cultivation was higher than his own, even though it was a higher level.

The Mystic Fire Mirror remains a formidable magical Law Treasure, but Lu Changsheng possesses too many magical Law Treasure, which is why the Mystic Fire Mirror has been gathering dust within his body.

[Ding! You have bestowed upon your disciple Lin Qingzhong a mid-grade immortal artifact, "Mysterious Fire Mirror," and have received a hundredfold reward for mentoring: a high-grade immortal artifact, "Nine Yang True Mirror."]

A new round Dao Mirror appeared inside Lu Changsheng's body. Its shape was similar to the Mystic Fire Mirror, but the difference was that a thin red plate was inlaid in the middle of the jade ring, and an ancient sun totem was carved in the center of the plate.

Compared to the devastatingly hot aura of the Mystic Fire Mirror, the Nine Suns True Mirror is much gentler, and the power of Xuanhuo has been transformed into pure Yang power.

"And this Mizar Sword."

Lu Changsheng bestowed the Mizar Sword from the Seven-Star Sword Formation as a reward.

After Lu Changsheng created his own Saint-Rank Swordsmanship, the Mid-Grade Immortal Stage Seven-Star Sword Formation became dispensable to Lu Changsheng. It would be better to bestow it upon his disciples and return a higher-level Sword Formation and Immortal Sword.

The Mizar Sword is a pure Yang sword, suitable for Chen Xiaoyao.

[Ding! You have bestowed upon your disciple Lin Qing a mid-grade immortal artifact, the "Kaiyang Sword," and have received a reward of 100,000 times the normal reward for mentoring: Human Race Treasure Fragment x1.]

Oh? The system is returning rare item fragments again?

Lu Changsheng hadn't seen any fragments of a supreme treasure for some time.

Even in the Immortal Realm, such treasures are probably rare.

Lu Changsheng continued collecting fragments of supreme treasures in preparation for his Ascension to the Immortal Realm.

"And this low-grade defensive immortal Immortal Artifact, the 'Indestructible Diamond Treasure Pagoda,' comes with its own Indestructible Vajra Secret Art."

Lu Changsheng took out a Treasure Pagoda and bestowed it directly upon Chen Xiaoyao.

After acquiring the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, a treasure of morality Law Treasure, ordinary Treasure Pagodas were of little use to Lu Changsheng. Therefore, Lu Changsheng bestowed other Treasure Pagodas upon his disciples.

[Ding! You have bestowed upon your Disciple Chen Xiaoyao the Low-Grade Immortal Artifact "Indestructible Diamond Treasure Pagoda," and received Apprentice-Teaching Hundredfold Return Reward: the Middle-Grade Immortal Artifact "Golden Sarira Seven-Treasure Exquisite Pagoda."]

This Law Treasure seems quite good. I wonder what level of Law Treasure I'll eventually get if I keep bestowing gifts upon it?

Currently, Chen Xiaoyao's magical Law Treasures include the Mystic Fire Mirror, the Mizar Sword, the Indestructible Diamond Treasure Pagoda, and the Enlightenment Dao Robe.

During his 140-year seclusion at Azure Cloud Peak, Lu Changsheng taught Chen Xiaoyao martial arts techniques, including the "Divine Sword Wind-Riding True Formula," the "Carefree Roaming Cultivation Method," the "Hunyuan Sword Scripture," the "Drunken Immortal Gazing at the Moon Steps Cultivation Method Step," the "Soul-Seeking Technique," and the "Penglai Sword Song."

The Cultivation Method that Chen Xiaoyao had access to were by no means inferior to those that Zhang Sheng had access to, and in fact, there were more varieties among them.

"These Eighth-Grade and Ninth-Grade Medicinal Pills, as well as Eighth-Grade and Ninth-Grade Talisman, are all yours. Just do your best to win."

Lu Changsheng took out a pile of high-grade Medicinal Pills and high-grade Talisman.

These Medicinal Pills and Talisman include the Dragon Blood Returning Origin Pill, the Life-and-Death Reincarnation Pill, the Heavenly Fragrance Life-Renewing Pill, the Golden Crow Divine Fire Talisman, the Close-at-Hand Ends-of-the-World Talisman, Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Talisman.

In any case, during Lu Changsheng's seclusion at Azure Cloud Peak, Disciple-Teaching Rebate countless high-grade Medicinal Pills and Talisman to his disciples. He could easily take out a bag of Medicinal Pills and a stack of Talisman.

Finally, Lu Changsheng Transmission Empowerment to Chen Xiaoyao, returning 80,000 days of cultivation.

Before the martial arts contest to choose a husband, Chen Xiaoyao received strong support from Lu Changsheng, which moved him deeply. Peng Peng kowtowed and said, "I will never forget Master's kindness."

"It's not bad for you to take this opportunity to learn from the geniuses of various states and broaden your experience."

Lu Changsheng knew that Chen Xiaoyao was Child of Destiny, and if he nurtured him well, he might need to rely on Chen Xiaoyao's Great Fortune in the future.

"Yes."

Chen Xiaoyao was eager to fight. With his master's support, he was more confident in dealing with Zhang Sheng without worrying about retaliation from the Dragon-Tiger Sect.

Only a little over seventy talented young men participated in the martial arts contest to choose a husband.

The requirements for the Stars Pavilion Master are extremely strict. Only Peerless Genius has cultivated for three hundred years and reached the Void Refinement Realm is qualified to participate in the martial arts contest to find a husband.

Furthermore, one cannot already have dao companion.

"My son, you must defeat the geniuses of the various states and marry Tang Ling’er of the Stars Pavilion. Only then will our Dragon-Tiger Sect have a chance to glimpse the Stars Pavilion's Sect-Defending Cultivation Method. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. At that time, our Dragon-Tiger Sect may even have a chance to replace the Stars Pavilion and become the number one sect in the Central Province."

Before the martial arts contest to choose a husband began, Zhang Qinlong, the leader of the Dragon Tiger Sect, equipped his son Zhang Sheng with a mid-grade immortal artifact and prepared various elixirs and talismans.

As the second Sects in Central Province, the Dragon-Tiger Sect naturally has no shortage of such things.

This martial arts contest to find a husband is crucial to the marriage alliance between the Stars Pavilion and the Dragon-Tiger Sect, two super Sects, and cannot afford to fail.

"Father, please rest assured, my Dragon-Tiger Art has already reached a certain level of proficiency. I will surely win this martial arts contest to choose a husband."

Zhang Sheng clenched his fist.

He is the most outstanding Peerless Genius among the younger generation in Central Province. He has already reached the Seventh Layer of the Void Refinement Realm in less than three hundred years of cultivation.

Like the Central Continent Conference, the martial arts contest for marriage involved drawing lots to select opponents, followed by a series of matches.

"The Dragon-Tiger Sect truly lives up to its reputation as the second Sects. Young Master Zhang's strength is formidable; I am utterly convinced of my defeat."

A Peerless Genius at the Early Stage of the Void Refinement Realm lost to Zhang Sheng, yet he had nothing to say.

As the young sect leader of the Dragon-Tiger Sect, Zhang Sheng not only held a high position, but his cultivation was also genuine; he was not a spoiled brat.

Zhang Sheng remained indifferent, ignoring the other party's flattery.

His anticipated opponent was Chen Xiaoyao from Mount Shu.

Chen Xiaoyao made his move and defeated his opponent in just a few moves.

"Unexpectedly, not only is the Mount Shu Sect Master himself exceptionally talented, but even his disciples are all Peerless Genius, having reached the Fifth Layer of the Void Refinement Realm within three hundred years."

"Mount Shu is truly surprising; they have shone brightly at this Central Continent Conference."

"I believe the ultimate winner of this martial arts contest will be decided between the young sect leader of the Dragon-Tiger Sect and the Personal Disciple of the Mount Shu Sect Master."

The powerful figures from all the states were deeply shocked by Chen Xiaoyao's amazing performance; he was also Lu Changsheng's disciple.

The Stars Pavilion Master looked down at the crowd below.

Beside the Stars Pavilion Master, besides Tang Ling’er, there was another woman at the Dao Integration Realm Stars Pavilion Master standing side by side with him.

Chen Xiaoyao's performance surprised the two Stars Pavilion Masters.

Tang Ling’er of the Stars Pavilion and Zhang Sheng of the Dragon-Tiger Sect Transmission Empowerment Grand Supreme Elders of the Dao Integration Realm, who may even cripple the cultivation of two or three Grand Supreme Elders Dao Integration Realm. This is why their cultivation levels have improved so rapidly.

There are fewer than five Dao Integration Realm experts in Mount Shu, so it's impossible for them to sacrifice their cultivation to Transmission Empowerment to Chen Xiaoyao. Yet, Chen Xiaoyao has already reached the Fifth Layer of the Void Refinement Realm.

"Could it be that the cultivation speed of Pure Yang Body is truly this astonishing?"

The Stars Pavilion Master looked at Chen Xiaoyao with newfound respect.

Pairs of talented young men took to the field to compete. After only a short break, the final round saw only Chen Xiaoyao and Zhang Sheng from Mount Shu remain.

Both of them took Medicinal Pills to quickly recover their True Qi and fight in the best possible condition.

Situ Kong said, "The Dragon-Tiger Sect is different from the Ten Thousand Swords Manor. The Ten Thousand Swords Manor follows the Sword Dao, while the Dragon-Tiger Sect follows the Great Dao of talismans. The Dragon-Tiger Sect can even refine Tenth-Grade Talisman or even Eleventh-Grade Talisman. With Zhang Sheng's cultivation at the Void Refinement Realm, he certainly doesn't have enough True Qi to unleash the full power of Tenth-Grade Talisman or Eleventh-Grade Talisman, but he will definitely use Eighth-Rank Talisman or Ninth-Grade - Talisman talismans in battle, making them impossible to defend against."

Grandmaster Chen continued, "Not only that, I've also heard that the Dragon-Tiger Sect Sect-Defending Cultivation Method, the 'Dragon-Tiger Art,' not only cultivates Dragon Tiger True Qi but also has a Body Tempering effect. If Chen Xiaoyao's cultivation level were the same as his, the outcome might be uncertain. However, since Chen Xiaoyao's cultivation level is lower than his opponent's, he will most likely be defeated."

However, Lu Changsheng calmly replied, "Winning or losing is not important."

Chen Xiaoyao is Child of Destiny, so the outcome of the contest is really not important.

The Child of Destiny is someone who can do whatever they want.

On the Martial Platform, the contest between Zhang Sheng and Chen Xiaoyao has begun.

"Chen Xiaoyao, I'll show you the unparalleled Cultivation Method of our Dragon-Tiger Sect!"

Zhang Sheng's eyes blazed with fury as he activated the Dragon-Tiger Sect's Sect-Defending Cultivation Method.

Before Chen Xiaoyao appeared, Zhang Sheng was the number one young man in Central Province and was likely to marry Tang Ling’er, the Young Lady of the Stars Pavilion, and reach the pinnacle of his life. However, Chen Xiaoyao suddenly appeared Chen Xiaoyao and even gained Tang Ling’er's favor, which made Zhang Sheng furious.

Tang Ling’er had never treated him like this before.

Zhang Sheng took out a Talisman, Talisman burned fiercely between his fingers, emitting black flames. His aura surged rapidly, and dragon and tiger tattoos appeared on his body and face, causing the earth to tremble.

"Roar!"

Behind Zhang Sheng appeared a phantom of a dragon and a tiger. The two High Antiquity ferocious beasts roared to the sky, causing the earth to crack and mountains to collapse!

"This is the Dragon-Tiger Sect's Sect-Defending Cultivation Method, the 'Dragon-Tiger Art,' which integrates Talisman, Body Tempering, and breathing exercises. It is said that when cultivated to its highest level, it is a supreme Cultivation Method that surpasses even the Immortal Stage. Even though the Dragon-Tiger Sect's young master has not yet mastered the Dragon-Tiger Art, it should still fall into the category of Immortal Stage Cultivation Method, and it is not comparable to ordinary Immortal Stage Cultivation Method."

"The Dragon-Tiger Sect has existed for a million years, relying on its Dragon-Tiger Art. It seems the Mount Shu Disciple are doomed to defeat."

"The Dragon-Tiger Sect is second only to the Stars Pavilion in strength. If these Sects were to form a marriage alliance, they would surely dominate this realm."

The powerful Sects from various sects across the major states did not have a high opinion of Chen Xiaoyao.

Chen Xiaoyao was two realms lower than his opponent, which was a fatal flaw.

If there is no difference in the Law Treasure, Cultivation Method, or Special Physique of both sides, then the chances of winning are slim.

"Die."

A murderous glint flashed in Zhang Sheng's eyes. He threw out a Divine Fire Demon-Slaying Talisman, then transformed into a black shadow and attacked Chen Xiaoyao.

The Divine Fire Demon-Slaying Talisman burned, and under Zhang Sheng's control, the Blazing Divine Fire transformed into a fire dragon, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.

"The Dragon-Tiger Sect truly lives up to its reputation as a powerful Sects that cultivates the Talisman Dao; they can manipulate the Law Power of Talisman with such exquisite skill!"

"The Mount Shu Disciple are in serious trouble now."

The powerful figures from various Sects watching the battle gasped in surprise.

The Dragon-Tiger Sect ranks even higher than the Ten Thousand Swords Manor, so it naturally has its own signature Divine Abilities.

Even Lu Changsheng was secretly surprised.

The Talisman school of the Dragon-Tiger Sect surpasses other Sects in its application of Talisman.

"Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect!"

Chen Xiaoyao activated the Ten Thousand Swords Instruction, and ten thousand spiritual swords, like a raging storm, shattered the fire dragon formed by the Divine Fire Demon-Slaying Talisman- Slaying Talisman.

However, the Divine Fire Demon-Slaying Talisman was merely a means to attract Chen Xiaoyao's attention. Zhang Sheng's figure appeared from behind the flames formed by the dissipation of the fire dragon, his five fingers forming a fist, and he smashed towards Chen Xiaoyao!

Chen Xiaoyao his left hand to block the Mizar Sword in front of him, but was hit by Zhang Sheng's fist and was knocked back dozens of steps!

Before Chen Xiaoyao could fully adjust his stance, Zhang Sheng's figure, like a sharp arrow, appeared in front of Chen Xiaoyao again, his fist striking out with a fierce wind!

At the same time, several Talisman were thrown out.

Divine Fire blazes fiercely, lightning flashes and thunder roars!

Zhang Sheng's attack was swift and merciless, leaving the onlookers astonished by his methods.

"Zhang Sheng truly deserves to be called the number one young talent in Central Province. Although he is only at the Seventh Layer of the Void Refinement Realm, he can usually defeat even those at the eighth or Nine Layers Eighth Layer of the Void Refinement Realm."

"With his qualifications, he is more than a match for the Young Lady of the Stars Pavilion."

Everyone praised him.

If Zhang Sheng achieves the Great Completion of the Dao Integration Realm, he will be no less powerful than the current Dragon-Tiger Sect Master.

Lu Changsheng, however, was not overly surprised.

His Eldest Disciple Lin Qingzhi, Eighth Layer of the Void Refinement Realm, and his Second Disciple, Lu Qinglian, was at the Seventh Layer of the Void Refinement Realm. Both of them had the strength to defeat Zhang Sheng. It was only because Chen Xiaoyao entered the sect later that his realm was inferior to Zhang Sheng's, and he suffered a disadvantage in terms of realm.

Even so, Lu Changsheng believed that Chen Xiaoyao was capable of putting up a fight.

Just when everyone thought Chen Xiaoyao was about to be severely injured by Zhang Sheng's preemptive attack, a Treasure Pagoda appeared above Chen Xiaoyao's head. Chen Xiaoyao was protected by golden light, and his sword moved like a dragon, blocking Zhang Sheng's fist and several Talisman.

With two hissing sounds, two Talisman were launched!

Chen Xiaoyao used Talisman to retaliate against Zhang Sheng.

One of them is the Ninth-Grade Talisman "Golden Crow Divine Talisman," and the other is the "Divine Fire Demon-Slaying Talisman"!

The Golden Crow Divine Fire explodes!

Chen Xiaoyao had already channeled his True Qi into the Ninth-Grade- Inch-to-End-of-the-World Talisman inside his Daoist Robe with his left hand. The moment the Golden Crow Divine Talisman and the Divine Fire Demon-Slaying Talisman were released, Chen Xiaoyao used the Inch-to-End-of-the-World Talisman to create distance.

Lu Changsheng would often bestow various Talisman upon his disciples, so the disciples of Azure Cloud Peak were not necessarily unfamiliar with Talisman; on the contrary, everyone was a master at using Talisman.

Mo Huazhi, the Third Disciple of Azure Cloud Peak, is even capable of refining Eighth-Rank Talisman.

Zhang Sheng hadn't expected Chen Xiaoyao to also use Talisman. He was covered by the Golden Crow Divine Fire and quickly used an Earth-Escaping Divine Talisman to escape the range of the Divine Fire.

However, Zhang Sheng was a step too late; part of his Daoist Robe was burned by the Golden Crow Divine Fire. Although he was not seriously injured, he looked quite disheveled.

What surprised him even more was why Mount Shu also possessed so many rare Talisman?

Moreover, Chen Xiaoyao seemed completely unconcerned about using these Talisman.

Unbeknownst to him, Chen Xiaoyao had obtained far too many such Talisman from his master, Lu Changsheng; Eighth-Rank Talisman and Ninth-Grade Talisman were as common as Qi-Gathering Pills.

Chen Xiaoyao swallowed a Red Emperor Dragonforce Pill, activated the Carefree Roaming Cultivation Method, and used the Divine Sword Wind-Riding True Formula.

"Nine Heavens Mysterious Wind, I will draw it forth with my sword!"

Chen Xiaoyao's pure Yang energy poured into the Mizar Sword, and the dazzling yet warm pure Yang Sword Qi energy soared into the sky, forming a brilliant pillar of fire connecting heaven and earth.

Nine Heavens Gang Wind, sweeping away the remaining clouds!

Chen Xiaoyao failed to comprehend the complete Immortal Stage Upper-Grade Swordsmanship, "Divine Sword Wind-Riding True Formula," but he could still barely use some of the Sword Art!

The Chen Xiaoyao unleashed his Swordsmanship, everyone was horrified.

The Personal Disciple of the Mount Shu Sect Master possesses astonishing combat strength!
