Soaring into the Sky

Jiangxi Dragon Tiger Mountain, a cultural scenic area.

"Tickets, tickets, I'm talking to you! You in the tank top, hurry up and buy a ticket!"

The chubby ticket seller, sitting in the booth, shouted loudly. The day was truly hot!

"So this is Jiangxi Dragon Tiger Mountain, a surging crowd, and the same old snack stalls..."

He wandered around the cultural scenic area with the tourists. He hadn't been to this Taoist sacred site in the real world before, and it felt pretty good.

He bought some snacks, enjoyed the scenery, and then followed the Tianxia Association's greeter towards the back mountain.

"Everyone, if you have no other means, you'll have to go through these ropes..."

From afar, he saw that by a cliffside, a Taoist boy was introducing the first trial for entering to the arriving Otherworldly Persons.

Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao were also by the cliff. He had arrived a day early, waiting for the protagonist.

"San'er, Si'er, see you guys later!"

Deng Youfu and Deng Youcai, the two brothers, bickering, threw their arms around their girlfriends and flew over the cliff.

After nodding to Xu San and Zhang Chulan, he walked towards a burly uncle.

"Big brother, don't throw the kids first. I'll give you 300,000, how about you throw me over first?"

He was waiting for this Family of Three, and since he didn't know the exact time, he used Zhang Chulan as a time axis to estimate the Family of Three's appearance time.

"300,000?! Okay, my account is... ... Hmm, received. Little brother, hold on tight, here you go!"

In this Under One Person setting, 300,000 wasn't a small sum either. It seemed this person was also going to watch the competition, a rich kid!

The burly man looked at the money instantly transferred to his phone, grabbed Wang Changle, and with a "whoosh," threw him out.

Wuhu!

Soaring into the sky!

"This, this, this is also possible?"

Zhang Chulan looked at Wang Changle, who had bought an "aerial acrobatics" ticket, and stared in surprise at the Dragon Tiger Mountain Taoist boy. You can even play it like this?

Rising into the air, feeling the air rushing past him, the feeling of flying was truly exhilarating.

Yeah, this 300,000 was well spent!

"Swish."

"This 300,000 will be confiscated first. If you throw your daughter again, I won't let you off!"

A red silhouette flashed past him. An OL in a red work uniform, holding a little girl, slowed his fall, and he landed safely.

"Big brother, is this what you meant by 'clever people have their ways'?"

Feng Xingtong and Feng Shayan walked out from the side, their faces full of awkwardness.

Feng Shayan glanced at him disdainfully, didn't say much, and threw him a participant list.

"Mhm, mhm, making Xing Tong see a joke. Thanks for this. I have things to do, so I'll be going now."

Glancing up at the cliff where two people were hanging, along with Jia Zhengliang, he took the list and turned to leave.

"Yo, everyone from Nato Tong! And Feng Baobao, haha, remember me? Feng Xingtong, the one you scared so much I peed myself, didn't even dare to move!"

"Hmph! You still dare to mention it!"

"Hey, Miss Feng, why are you here too..."

"..."

Listening to the voices behind him starting a conversation, he couldn't help but quicken his pace, heading deeper into the crowd.

He took out the Life Essence and began to slowly absorb it. He couldn't consume large amounts of blood food on this mountain, so Black Hoof could only absorb his Health daily.

For this reason, over the past ten-plus days, he had prepared six Life Essences in advance.

Life Essence

He looked at the list while recalling the participants in the plotline. There were no major discrepancies.

"Everyone... has been waiting..."

"This Luotian Grand Ceremony, besides the customary sacrifices, has always been an opportunity for us Qi practitioners to exchange. This old man also came from his vigorous youth..."

The old celestial master, Zhang Zhiwei, stood atop a high platform, brimming with energy and speaking with a full voice.

Below, the crowd buzzed with discussion, eager and excited to participate.

"Please come up one by one to draw your slips of paper..."

He glanced at the red box on the high platform and then followed, ascending the steps.

"Everyone, take a look at the slips in your hands! Due to space limitations, the Heavenly Stems represent your entry order, and there are four of each animal. Those who draw the same animal will enter the arena together for the competition."

After a brief whisper with Tian Jinzhong, the old celestial master rose and explained the rules to the crowd.

"Only one person among you can advance to the next round of selection!"

Upon hearing this, everyone began to examine their slips, and also to inquire among the contestants beside them about these competition rules.

This meant one had to defeat three opponents to advance. His slip was—Ding Baihe.

After confirming, he took out the Lion Head Shield. He had spent 200,000 at a comic convention to acquire it, a silver tower shield with a lion's head.

It was still just for show, but it was made of pure steel plate, so it should be somewhat useful.

"Hey, Brother Ode, what did you draw! I got C Green Turtle, Zhang Chulan got B White Tiger, and Baobao got A Spotted Deer!"

Feng Xingtong grabbed Wang Changle and came up to Zhang Chulan, enthusiastically introducing them.

"Hey, Feng Xingtong, who is this?"

Zhang Chulan stared blankly at the man before him, this so-called Brother Ode. Wasn't this the "300,000 flyer" from before?

"Oh, I'm an executive of the Tianxia Association. Young Master Feng, I drew D Ding Baihe. I need to go compete now."

Dodging Feng Baobao's gaze, he then spread out the slip in his hand and ambled off towards another venue, making light of the situation.

Zhang Chulan watched the departing 'flyer' and couldn't help but mutter to himself, why did this person seem a bit afraid of Sister Bao?

"This guy might be quite strong. You should be careful!"

Feng Baobao suddenly turned and said to Zhang Chulan, then also walked towards the competition venue.

Unsurprisingly, Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao, Feng Xingtong, and others quickly finished their matches. After watching several powerful opponents compete, they all gained considerable insight.

"There are quite a few strong contenders here, but Zhang Chulan, you're quite famous now."

"Sister Bao, didn't you watch my match..."

"No, there was no need. You've taken enough punches from me."

"Sister, you said, Brother Ode? Okay, I'm coming right now!"

Feng Xingtong said, and ran towards the venue. He had long wanted to witness this guy's skills. Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao curiously followed.

When the three of them arrived, they saw that the stands were already crowded with people. The chubby Fat Dragon, Zhi Jinhua, Xu San, Xu Si, and even Lu Jin were there.

In the arena, only Lu Linglong and an armored man remained.

"Big Sister, what's the situation?"

"See for yourself. You can also think about what you would do if you encountered this situation."

Feng Shayan pointed towards the arena, emphasizing the armored man in the corner.

"That woman is Lu Linglong, Lu Jin's granddaughter, and that armored man is an executive of the Tianxia Association. This fight has already been going on for an hour."

Xu San said, pulling Feng Baobao over, explaining the situation of the fight on the field.

"This guy really knows how to play!"
