Seven Battles Won, First Place in the Grand Competition! (Second Update)

"Yan Beiwu, come up."

Jiang Hao looked towards Yan Beiwu.

He didn't leave the stage, but called out to Yan Beiwu.

Now, Yan Beiwu was the only seeded participant he hadn't fought against.

Yan Beiwu stood up and walked onto the stage.

"My Kun's Divine Blood grants me immense strength, but my movement technique is inferior to yours. As long as you don't engage me in a head-on clash, I will surely lose."

"Therefore, I concede."

Yan Beiwu surrendered.

She was very clear about her strengths and weaknesses.

Jiang Hao could use the Great Sun True Fire from a distance and then use Shrink Step Into Inch to keep away from her.

How could Yan Beiwu still fight?

It was better to concede early.

Since Yan Beiwu had already secured a spot, conceding would still allow her to enter the Blood Transformation Pool.

She wasn't arrogant like Li Qingshan, nor did she have such a strong desire to win.

Conceding to Jiang Hao was not shameful!

"Boom."

As Yan Beiwu conceded, the atmosphere around the stage quickly became fervent.

The first place was born!

First place in the Seven Sects Alliance Grand Competition, Jiang Hao!

As for second place, it was Yan Beiwu.

This was because Li Qingshan had also conceded to Yan Beiwu.

Since Li Qingshan couldn't get first place, he felt too ashamed to fight Yan Beiwu.

The first, second, and third place all possessed Divine Blood.

These spots in the Blood Transformation Pool were also of great benefit to martial artists with Divine Blood.

It could further stimulate the potential of their Divine Blood.

"Elder Wang, congratulations to your Huangtian Sect. You've finally secured first place in this Seven Sects Alliance Grand Competition!"

"Actually, first place in the competition is a minor matter. The Huangtian Sect has produced a disciple with boundless potential like Jiang Hao. His entry into the Dao is just around the corner. It's even possible that entering the Dao won't be Jiang Hao's limit; he might even become a Dao Lord!"

"If a Dao Lord can be born, the Huangtian Sect will have struck it rich..."

The elders from the other six sects were all congratulating Elder Wang.

They were indeed very envious.

If it were any other Seven Sects Alliance Grand Competition first place in the past, these elders wouldn't have paid much attention.

But for a true top-tier genius like Jiang Hao, a future Seed of the Dao, they were genuinely envious.

After all, only those who had entered the Dao could increase a sect's foundation.

Elder Wang was beaming with pride.

The more he looked at Jiang Hao, the more pleased he was.

His trip leading the team was truly worthwhile.

He could brag to the other elders properly when he returned.

At this moment, the Emperor of Gan spoke, "Jiang Hao, Yan Beiwu, Li Qingshan, step forward."

The three arrived before the Emperor of Gan.

"You are the top three finishers of this Seven Sects Alliance Grand Competition and will receive spots in the Blood Transformation Pool from my Great Gan Imperial Family."

"The Blood Transformation Pool will open in a few days, and you will be notified then. You should make preparations during these days."

Jiang Hao and the other two bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The three of them valued the spots in the Blood Transformation Pool greatly.

"Jiang Hao, I heard you had some unpleasantness with Leng Yue."

The Emperor of Gan suddenly said to Jiang Hao.

"Hmm?"

"Your Majesty, it's just a minor matter."

Jiang Hao was slightly surprised.

But on second thought, this was Gandu. What could be hidden from the Emperor of Gan?

And Leng Yue was the Emperor of Gan's daughter.

It would be even less possible to hide it from Emperor Gan.

"Leng Yue, come here."

Emperor Gan's gaze fell upon Leng Yue.

Leng Yue's heart tightened, and she walked over tremblingly.

"Greetings, Father Emperor."

Leng Yue seemed very afraid of Emperor Gan.

"Leng Yue, you were arrogant and unreasonable, causing a lot of unpleasantness with Jiang Hao at the Huangtian Sect. Now that Jiang Hao is here, you know what you should do, right?"

Emperor Gan's words made Leng Yue's heart tremble.

She knew how ruthless this "Father Emperor" before her was.

After all, the imperial family knew no kinship.

If she couldn't satisfy Emperor Gan, he would definitely punish her severely.

After all, Jiang Hao had already displayed unparalleled potential, and his importance far surpassed that of an ordinary princess of the imperial family like herself, who was useless.

Emperor Gan saw clearly which was more important.

"Jiang Hao, it was my fault. I shouldn't have been so willful and injured your spirit beast. I will do my best to compensate you. I will exchange all my contribution points for what you need, or what your spirit beast needs."

Jiang Hao was a little surprised.

Was Leng Yue really apologizing to him?

He could tell that the arrogant princess before him was genuinely scared.

However, before Jiang Hao could respond, Emperor Gan said coldly, "Not enough!"

"Leng Yue, didn't your mother leave you a Flood Dragon Core? Give it to Jiang Hao."

Leng Yue's eyes widened abruptly.

A Flood Dragon Core?

This was a precious treasure left to her by her mother!

The so-called Flood Dragon Core was actually the inner core of a flood dragon.

If a flood dragon transformed into a dragon, its Flood Dragon Core would become a dragon pearl.

Flood Dragon Cores had immense uses.

The most significant use was that when a martial artist was forging their Pill Force, they could integrate the flood dragon into their Pill Force, thereby imbuing the Pill Force with a trace of flood dragon power.

Even if it was just a trace of flood dragon power, it could greatly increase the might of the Pill Force.

This was one of the unique divine objects for cultivating Pill Force.

And now it was to be given to Jiang Hao?

However, when Leng Yue saw Emperor Gan's cold gaze.

She was truly terrified.

"Yes, Father Emperor."

Leng Yue agreed.

Jiang Hao, on the other hand, hesitated.

He didn't know what a Flood Dragon Core was.

Elder Wang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled, "Jiang Hao, why aren't you thanking His Majesty quickly? A Flood Dragon Core is a good thing. Even if you are a Seed of the Dao, you might not be able to obtain such a divine object. With a Flood Dragon Core, your future breakthrough to Pill Force will possess a trace of flood dragon power."

"Flood dragon power?"

Jiang Hao's eyes lit up.

This was indeed a divine object!

And it was quite a rare divine object.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"The matter between Princess Leng Yue and me was a minor issue, and I've long forgotten about it."

Emperor Gan naturally understood Jiang Hao's words.

This meant the slate was wiped clean.

"Very good."

"Then I shall not disturb your rest."

"Leng Yue, deliver the Flood Dragon Core to Jiang Hao as soon as possible."

After Emperor Gan finished speaking, he got up and left.

Leng Yue dared not say anything more.

She didn't even look at Jiang Hao, but lowered her head and left quickly.

"Hahaha, Jiang Hao, you've really struck gold this time. I didn't expect the Emperor of Gan to be willing to offer up a Flood Dragon Core."

Elder Wang patted Jiang Hao's shoulder, looking very pleased.

"Elder, will holding onto this Flood Dragon Core cause trouble?"

Jiang Hao asked.

He couldn't figure out the Emperor of Gan's motive.

Was it really just to resolve the feud between him and Leng Yue?

It wasn't worth it.

Giving away a Flood Dragon Core for such a minor dispute?

It was impossible.

Elder Wang said meaningfully, "You can take the Flood Dragon Core with peace of mind. The Emperor of Gan is extending an olive branch to you."

"An olive branch? Even if I enter the Dao, the Emperor of Gan wouldn't need to do this, would he?"

Jiang Hao was very curious.

"For an ordinary entry into the Dao, the Emperor of Gan naturally wouldn't go to such lengths. But you are different. What if you enter the Dao with Divine Blood?"

"After entering the Dao with Divine Blood, your descendants might inherit your Golden Crow Divine Blood lineage. Descendants of Divine Blood, who wouldn't want that?"

"Therefore, the Emperor of Gan is making preparations for the future. You're still young, you might not understand now, but when you grow up, hehe, just wait. All the major powers will try every means to send women to you. You'll be quite fortunate..."

Jiang Hao didn't know what to say.

So, the Emperor of Gan gave away a Flood Dragon Core just to make it easier to send him women in the future?

This was truly...

Jiang Hao still didn't know what to say.

His talent was so high, he had so many specialties, why were these people fixated on his insignificant Divine Blood?

When he returned to his residence, Leng Yue had already delivered the Flood Dragon Core.

Jiang Hao put the Flood Dragon Core away and then examined himself.

From today's battle, he had obtained first place in the Grand Competition, as well as a spot in the Blood Transformation Pool and a Flood Dragon Core.

Jiang Hao took out the Flood Dragon Core again and examined it closely.

This was a divine object, rare and precious.

Unfortunately, Jiang Hao couldn't use it yet.

He would have to wait until he broke through to Pill Force for the Flood Dragon Core to be useful.

Jiang Hao put the Flood Dragon Core away.

He extended his palm and activated the Great Sun True Fire.

The Great Sun True Fire covered his entire palm.

It had to be said, the advantage of Divine Blood was truly immense.

Especially at the Hidden Force level, Divine Blood was practically an unsolvable existence.

Whether one had Divine Blood or not made a world of difference.

Of course, before entering the Dao, Divine Blood provided an absolute advantage, but this advantage could also gradually weaken as one's cultivation increased.

For example, at the Manifest Force or Hidden Force stages, no matter how strong your force was, it definitely wouldn't be a match for Divine Blood.

Jiang Hao's force was already strong enough.

Manifest Force: Ten forces combined into one.

Hidden Force: Five elements combined into one.

But even if he unleashed his Manifest Force, Hidden Force, or even more than one true intent, he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand Divine Blood.

However, if one reached Transforming Force, with the integration of internal and external, the advantage of Divine Blood wouldn't be as significant.

Not to mention reaching Pill Force.

Pill Force could refine divine objects, imbuing the Pill Force with a trace of the divine object's power.

For example, by refining the Flood Dragon Core, one could imbue their Pill Force with a trace of flood dragon power.

Once one reached Pill Force, or even the Grandmaster level of罡劲 (Gang Jin), the advantage of Divine Blood would still exist, but it wouldn't be as pronounced.

"So, the most urgent task is cultivation!"

Jiang Hao had completely seen the path he should take.

It was to improve his cultivation.

As for Divine Blood, Sacred Body, there was no rush.

He would focus on improving his cultivation first.

Coincidentally, Jiang Hao had never stopped exercising his kidneys.

He faintly felt that Kidney Force was about to be born.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

Jiang Hao suddenly felt a tremor in his kidneys.

As if divinely inspired, he immediately understood what was happening.

Kidney Force was finally about to be born.

Kidney Force belonged to Water.

Therefore, when Jiang Hao felt the birth of Kidney Force, it was like a gentle, silent nurturing.

"The Five Elements Divine Skill is finally complete..."

Jiang Hao let out a long sigh.

The birth of Kidney Force meant the completion of the Five Elements Divine Skill.

The next step was the most crucial, the fusion of the Five Elements!

Although this step was the most crucial, it was actually the easiest.

After all, the Five Elements Divine Skill was inherently a single entity.

Jiang Hao took a deep breath, then circulated his Heart Force, Liver Force, Spleen Force, Lung Force, and the newly born Kidney Force.

Previously, the five forces were independent of each other.

But as Jiang Hao circulated the methods of the Five Elements Divine Skill.

"Boom."

The next moment, the five Hidden Forces merged into one.

The five Hidden Forces had already merged into a completely new force.

It was called Five Elements Force.

The characteristic of this Five Elements Force was its extreme variability, strong compatibility, and terrifying power.

However, for Jiang Hao, he didn't even particularly anticipate how terrifying the power of Five Elements Force would be.

What was the use of a twofold increase?

Could it compare to his Divine Blood?

He valued the compatibility of Five Elements Force more.

Because the next stage after Hidden Force, Transforming Force, required the surrounding forces to merge into one.

For example, Hidden Force would merge with Manifest Force from the inside out.

At that time, the forces would circulate and spread throughout the entire body.

That would be Transforming Force!
