Mu Hongyuan, recalling his high school biology days, gave an OK sign with a somewhat strange expression.
The three people and the dog rested for a while, then took the remaining furnace cauldrons onto several Magic Vessel of the Zixiao Kingdom and continued their journey towards the entrance of the Daoist temple.
Several people are retaking the course.
Fighting is fighting, and rebuilding is rebuilding. You can't become stronger by fighting; you can only become stronger by rebuilding, and then you fight.
After the fight, Su Luo, Attributes had reached 23, thought to herself, and then took out the [Genli Zhi Mo] and taught Mu Hongyuan and Ansen the temporary cultivation technique that she had previously failed to gain the approval of the Heavenly Dao.
Although they are students with special talents, their basic Attributes still need to be accumulated. The most fundamental thing for Survivors is to stay alive.
Kundina said she didn't need it, that she had the means to rebuild her cultivation, and refused to accept Su Luo's indoctrination. Then she looked up at the Zixiao Thunder Sea above her head, which was already turning black, and she could feel the chaos of energy.
It seems the Scholar left a large part of his domain in the Zixiao Thunder Sea. The loss of Mana did not make him lose his former composure; on the contrary, he picked up the cultivation side to enhance himself.
Kundina glanced at Su Luo, who was relearning, then continued to zone out.
The weak win by reaching the maximum value; the strong win by relying on mathematical expectation!
Her passivity is itself a golden path; who God of Magic can only walk the path of Mana?!
Kundina began her Qi training.
The Divine Firmament Heaven’s Gate, the Dieyi Dojo, is not the floating continent that everyone imagines it to be.
Here, the sky is filled with clouds and mist, with a corner of an eave occasionally peeking out from between the clouds and mist. Most of the buildings are man-made, with palaces, pavilions, corridors, and artificial hills scattered in a well-organized manner above the sea of clouds.
The rest of the area was mostly clouds and rivers, with nothing particularly special about it except for the incredibly high concentration of Qi energy.
This is the Daoist temple of the Golden Core Dao Lord.
A colossal building, seemingly appearing out of thin air, stretches across the sea of clouds, over 500 meters high and majestic in both length and width, large enough to accommodate everyone.
Above the lintel, a line of large characters floats high:
[The 567th Dual Cultivation Elimination Tournament of Divine Firmament Heaven’s Gate - Furnace Cauldron Qualification Tournament]
Meanwhile, the venue was filled with Seven-Colored lights, various energetic Music, and countless light and shadow effects. The walls were covered with reliefs, the contents of which were full of fertility worship.
At the very top, there's a huge screen; just being in it gives you a strangely exciting feeling.
"What is this?" Su Luo turned to ask the Yunmeng Kingdom Lord.
"Dieyi Daojun... enjoys excitement, but he has never appeared in previous competitions; they were always hosted by other senior cultivators in the Daoist temple."
The Yunmeng Kingdom Lord did not find anything wrong with it.
Because of a special event that happened in the Yunmeng Kingdom and Zixiao Kingdom, they arrived several hours later than other forces, and it is now late at night.
When I first entered the dojo, Jin Cai Adept had already been taken away for investigation. I hope he enjoys it.
At the same time, everyone received a golden scroll, which looked the same as the one that Su Luo had been given by Yili Zhenren, except that it did not contain any Dao Lord decrees.
"Lively? Is that considered lively?"
Su Luo pointed to the content swirling on the largest screen.
The screen displays the profile pictures of two pretty girls, and below them are their battle records and ranks.
One player is named "Caiwei Fairy," with a rank of "Beauty Level 2" and a record of three wins and one loss. The other player is named "Lingyun Fairy," with a rank of "Noble Lady Level 5" and a record of "four wins and zero losses."
Below their profile pictures is a line of smaller text: "Winning probability prediction: Lingyun Fairy 86%"
They seemed to be doing a very serious job, but once they saw what was happening on the stage, everyone was speechless.
"Is it even possible to cut corners like that?" Ansen observed carefully.
The stage in the very center is a huge circular arena. Above the arena and below the largest screen, four other huge screens are suspended, each displaying different images: one showing the live battlefield, one showing the players' real-time status, one showing the real-time odds, and one displaying the commentary.
Needless to say, the battlefield was filled with shimmering water, but what left Su Luo speechless was the commentary.
Two people were sitting in the commentary booth. One was almost naked, with broad muscles that looked like they were about to grow wings and fly away. His twelve-pack abs were like Great Rift, and his muscles were bulging and his veins were like chrysanthemum patterns. Because his testosterone levels were far higher than everyone else's, everyone else appeared female to him.
A stunningly beautiful woman, draped in a light veil and exuding an aura of pity, gently waved a folding fan in her hand, her eyes filled with longing as she gazed at the competition stage.
The muscular burly man turned to the stunningly beautiful woman and asked:
"Qingfeng Adept, who do you think has a better chance of winning Heavenly Dao?"
"Lingyun Fairy." Qingfeng Adept said without hesitation, "She is already a cultivator of the Noble Lady level. I heard that she was favored by the Dao Lord a month ago, and her Yin-Yang Harmony Technique has reached the fourth level. She has also cultivated the accompanying advanced finger techniques. I still have a deep impression of her amazing triple kill in the grand melee of the last competition."
The muscular tyrant nodded in agreement. "The analysis is thorough, but our Caiwei Fairy isn't without a chance to win. Let's turn our attention to the battlefield..."
The muscular burly man suddenly became excited:
"Heavens! What is Caiwei Fairy doing? She's abandoned her defense! Her posture! Could it be... that move?"
Qingfeng Adept stared intently, then shouted, "That's right, it's that move that no one has mastered for decades— the Great Desolate Prisoning Heaven Finger!"
A loud shout came from the ring, and the commentator's voice rang out again:
"She did it! She did it! She ended the game with a single finger!"
"The match is over! The winner Caiwei Fairy!"
"This is a human?"
Su Luo hadn't expected things to be this chaotic before she arrived.
If a duel between two women takes this form, then what about a duel between two men?
Steel guns?
The ranking competition for the elders of the training ground has ended. Next, it will be the elimination and placement competitions for the newly arrived furnace cauldrons. The rules will be displayed on the big screen:
"This year's Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Tournament has 29,521 participants, divided into male and female groups. A free-for-all will begin until 3,000 participants remain in each group... Ranking rules: A Cycle will be held within each group, with the top eight advancing to the knockout stage. The knockout stage will use a best-of-three (BO3) format, and the final will use a best-of-five (BO5) format. The final sixteen winners will receive the 'Noble Lady' qualification, enjoying exclusive cultivation resources and dual cultivation guidance at the dojo. The top three will receive the 'Beauty' qualification, with an additional empowerment. The champion will receive the 'Consort' qualification, a blissful experience, and the ability to designate one partner to reside in the core area of the dojo..."
At the same time, Text began to appear on everyone's golden scrolls.
