Since he began practicing martial arts, Jiang Shu has stained his hands with countless drops of blood.

Although he was merely repeating the twins' words, there was no mockery in his tone; instead, it was filled with murderous intent.

The rules of the Hundred Dynasty War dictate that geniuses, unless they cherish each other, will inevitably fight to the death!

If you don't resolve any conflicts before joining a sect in the future, you might encounter countless troubles within the sect.

It is most ridiculous to be merciful to an enemy.

"You!"

Ruan Lei could no longer restrain himself; a powerful surge of Origin Power erupted from him, his eyes icy cold. He never expected that even after he had decided to back down, this guy would still push his luck!

Since that's the case... let's fight first!

You should know that although the two brothers fought Xue Xuan just now, they still retained half of their Origin Power!

"Let's do it!"

A low shout rang out from Ruan Lei's lips, and the Treasure Artifact Blood Flood Dragon Bone Spear was immediately unleashed. A strange roar resounded from the bone spear, and its sharp Origin Shield was enough to kill any Variant Ferocious Beast phantom.

The bone spear's energy shot directly towards Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu, however, used the Stealth Step, his expression unchanged. In his hand, the Bloodfall Subduing Dragon Blade suddenly appeared, and with a single slash, the scorching and violent force directly shattered the bone spear 'Origin Shield.

Instantly, the two were locked in a fierce battle, while on the other side, Ruan Yan's attack was also blocked by Xue Xuan.

The four fought fiercely, growing more and more intense with each battle.

After entering the Fetal Breathing Realm, Jiang Shu's physical body had been tempered to the peak of the Rebirth Realm. Among the three, his vitality was far ahead, and his Qi and Blood surged like waves.

With each move, the power of the Bloodfall Subduing Dragon Blade was fully displayed.

In just a quarter of an hour, Ruan Lei, the strongest of the twin brothers, was beaten back step by step. His face turned purple, his surging Qi and Blood were interrupted many times, and he even made several mistakes in dodging.

"I have Treasure Artifact Soft Armor protecting me, you can't kill me! I'm willing to leave behind one Treasure Artifact and one Storage Bag. If you want more, then let's fight to the death!"

His clothes burst open, and a cold glint flashed in Ruan Lei's eyes as he shouted.

He hadn't expected the visitor to be so troublesome.

Under normal circumstances, he would have been able to activate the Treasure Pattern on his Treasure Artifact artifacts and drive them away.

But now, the opening time of the True Martial Ancient Hall is almost here.

If, due to the activation of the Treasure Pattern, one misses the great fortuitous opportunity of the True Martial Ancient Hall in the subsequent competition for a spot, even if one successfully enters the sect, one can only obediently start as Servant Disciple.

The gap between the Rebirth Realm and the Furnace Fire Realm is insurmountable!

"Two items!"

Jiang Shu's sword thrusts continued without pause.

His gaze involuntarily drifted to Xue Xuan, who had already forcefully blocked Ruan Yan from standing still, and he barked loudly.

"Good!"

Without any hesitation, Ruan Lei dropped the two Treasure Artifact and the Storage Bag, and retreated rapidly.

Watching the twin brothers transform into streaks of light and fly away, Xue Xuan finally couldn't bear it any longer. He was about to collapse to the ground. He had used forbidden techniques multiple times, and his condition was as if he were on the verge of exhaustion.

"They should be heading to the True Martial Ancient Hall."

Gasping for breath, Xue Xuan swallowed the pill and regulated his inner energy, saying, "In the Hundred Dynasty Battlefield, there will be fortuitous opportunity of all sizes. In the past, some fortuitous opportunity were scattered, while others were concentrated. But this time, a great fortuitous opportunity, one that only appeared a hundred years ago, has appeared: the True Martial Ancient Hall!"

"After we enter the Hundred Dynasty Battlefield, the keys to the True Martial Ancient Hall are randomly distributed. Once you obtain one, you can get guidance to go to the True Martial Ancient Hall. It is said that the strength of the warriors who come out of the True Martial Ancient Hall will undergo a qualitative change."

"The real reason why Ruan Lei and Ruan Yan want to kill me is because I also obtained a key. Killing me in advance will reduce one competitor."

" The Hundred Dynasty War tests not only strength, but also luck."

At this point, Xue Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. If he had met Jiang Shu earlier, with both of them at their peak, they could definitely have turned the tables and killed him.

It's just a pity...

As he spoke, he took out an extremely ancient Bronze Key from his Storage Bag, gritted his teeth, and said, " Brother Jiang, in my current state, even if I enter the True Martial Ancient Hall, I will hardly be able to obtain any fortuitous opportunity. Instead, I will be caught up in one life-or-death battle after another."

"If you want this key, you can take it and go there."

"If... you have the potential to become inner disciple in the future, remember... to take good care of our Great Jing Dynasty."

Xue Xuan's voice was filled with extreme reluctance.

After all, unless there are special circumstances, who wouldn't want to be the one to receive the fortuitous opportunity?

As a prince, who would want to do menial tasks as soon as they enter the sect?

What he wanted from beginning to end was to stand out in the Hundred Dynasty War and become formal disciple of the True Martial Sect as quickly as possible!

The True Martial Ancient Hall was the greatest opportunity he encountered here!

but...

Take two deep breaths to calm your emotions.

He looked at Jiang Shu, his expression growing increasingly solemn.

This time, Jiang Shu took the initiative to stand up for him, although he failed to actually kill the twin brothers.

But it also made him realize that he hadn't misjudged the person.

Since that's the case, rather than wasting it, we should leave the fortuitous opportunity to our own people.

At this moment, looking at the ancient key floating in front of him, Jiang Shu felt it was becoming more and more familiar. In the next instant, he took out an identical one from Chu Guang's Storage Bag and said, "Brother Xue, is this the key you mentioned?"

The same two keys float in the void.

Jiang Shu hadn't expected that Chu Guang's Storage Bag contained such a surprise.

But it makes sense. As one of the top powers in a high-level dynasty, he knows more secrets, so it's not surprising that he obtained the key.

As Xue Xuan instructed, Jiang Shu could clearly sense a strong directional guidance after refining the Bronze Key. When this guidance grew stronger and stronger, and a brilliant light erupted between heaven and earth, the Bronze Ancient Hall would appear.

"As expected, Brother Jiang, you are also a person of great fortuitous opportunity, having obtained the key to enter the True Martial Ancient Hall without making a sound."

Unable to resist shaking his head, Xue Xuan's expression was somewhat strange. He never expected that the great favor he had painstakingly planned to do would turn out to be worthless.

" fortuitous opportunity was just a coincidence. But Brother Xue, now that we have two keys, why don't you think about entering together? Ordinary injuries can be recovered by us Rebirth Realm warriors at the fastest speed. What recovers slowly is actually mental energy."

"Therefore, as long as we can find a place where we can quickly restore our mental energy, that will suffice."

Jiang Shu felt the guidance of the Bronze Key again, and the thought in his mind became clearer and clearer.

Chu Guang was facing a life-or-death situation at the time, so his words are highly credible. The location of the Spirit Cleansing Pool should be true.

The reason I couldn't find it was because I didn't know the exact location.

But now, the guidance from the True Martial Ancient Hall undoubtedly proves that there is basically no Spirit Cleansing Pool near the True Martial Ancient Hall, and I only need to look in another area.

"Recovering mental strength? It's not that easy."

Xue Xuan, of course, had no idea what Jiang Shu was thinking. He shook his head and swallowed the pill. Right now, all he wanted was to recover from his injuries and accumulate more points. After entering the True Martial Sect, he would cultivate steadily and peacefully, taking it one step at a time.

fortuitous opportunity was no longer relevant to him.

"Not easy? Is the Spirit Cleansing Pool enough? Just wait!"

Before Xue Xuan could react, Jiang Shu stopped hiding it and instantly unleashed the Ancient Forbidden Technique, Thunder Roc Nether Qi Wings. With a flap of its huge wings, it soared into the sky.

The reason I didn't use it before was because I was afraid it would be too conspicuous and attract powerful enemies.

But now, the truly powerful geniuses are probably all waiting for the opening of the True Martial Ancient Hall.

Outside the True Martial Ancient Hall area, there is a relatively open space.

The speed of Thunder Roc Nether Qi Wings was incredibly fast. Jiang Shu transformed into streaks of light, flying through the sky amidst the faint rumble of thunder.

His eyes constantly took in everything below, and if he noticed anything suspicious, he would immediately go down to investigate.

During this time, he even killed several flying phantom Variant Ferocious Beast, accumulating more than ten points.

Soon, Jiang Shu discovered a mountain forest.

The mountains and forests are shrouded in mist, and the lush trees block out the sun.

After searching for a while, they finally found a small pool of water inside the cave.

Without lingering, he turned back, brought the bewildered Xue Xuan with him, and the two of them fell into the Spirit Cleansing Pool together.

"See? I told you so."

The icy sensation stimulated the Aperture, then Aperture directly into the brain, the energy forming a tide that repeatedly washed over the two men's mental energy. Jiang Shu couldn't help but let out a comfortable sound; the continuous battles hadn't fully restored his mental energy.

Entering the Spirit Cleansing Pool, I felt completely refreshed.

Unfortunately, Chu Guang had already used this Spirit Cleansing Pool, wasting an unknown amount of energy.

" Brother Jiang..."

Opening his eyes and looking at Jiang Shu beside him, Xue Xuan didn't know what to say.

He thought he had been overestimating Jiang Shu, but he didn't expect that what he saw was only the tip of the iceberg.

Ancient Forbidden Technique for flight!

The genius Chu Guang who slew the advanced dynasty!

If it weren't for my own shortcomings, Brother Jiang alone could probably have killed the twin brothers Ruan Lei Ruan Yan.

Is such a genius really born into their Great Jing Dynasty?

Although the energy of the Spirit Cleansing Pool repeatedly restored Xue Xuan's mental strength, gradually allowing him to concentrate fully, he still found Jiang Shu's experience unbelievable.

After all, Jiang Shu had relied on very little from the Great Jing Dynasty along the way.

Without the support of the imperial court or powerful Aristocratic Clan, he probably only has martial arts talent that even geniuses from high-ranking dynasties can't match.

I wonder, Brother Jiang, how far you'll go after joining the sect...

Taking two deep breaths, Xue Xuan stopped thinking about it. Although he had a million questions in his mind, he knew that now, both Jiang Shu and he had to recover as quickly as possible.

The Spirit Cleansing Pool was once fortuitous opportunity.

Now, however, it's just an appetizer.

Both of them were about to enter the True Martial Ancient Hall!

With the opening time of the True Martial Ancient Hall drawing ever closer, geniuses have already transformed into streaks of light and are rapidly making their way there.

The twin brothers Ruan Lei Ruan Yan were like this; they stood in a corner, communicating with each other through their mental energy.

"Brother, those two guys really got off easy!"

Even though two days had passed, Ruan Yan still couldn't accept it. After the two brothers achieved success in martial arts, they were always the ones taking from others, never the other way around.

Now, he was actually defeated by an unknown nobody from a mid-level dynasty, leaving behind two Treasure Artifact and two Storage Bag!

This is a resource that could support an entire Aristocratic Clan!

Utter disgrace!

" The Treasure Pattern those two Treasure Artifact have been activated, so recovery won't be easy. Just having hardness isn't enough. As for the Storage Bag, it's just some pills. Xue Xuan and that guy surnamed Jiang have accumulated enough points on their Jade Plaque to enter the True Martial Sect."

"But without the fortuitous opportunity of the True Martial Ancient Hall, after leaving the Hundred Dynasty Battlefield, they can only start as Servant Disciple, wasting time on tedious tasks. But we are different. Once we come out of the True Martial Ancient Hall, our strength increases greatly. Not only do we attract the attention of the elders outside, but after entering the True Martial Sect, we are also flattered by other Servant Disciple."

"We can give them some tasks so we can cultivate faster, reach the Furnace Fire Realm sooner, and become Outer Sect Disciple."

"At that time, it will be easy to find an opportunity to get rid of Xue Xuan and that Jiang fellow."

Ruan Lei snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with resentment. From the moment he left, he had already planned how to get revenge.

He refused to believe that these two guys, who couldn't get the fortuitous opportunity the True Martial Ancient Hall, could progress faster than them on the path of martial arts!

"Our most important task right now is to improve our strength in the True Martial Ancient Hall. It's just a pity that we are only from a mid-level dynasty. If we were geniuses from a top-level dynasty, we would definitely know some of the secrets of the True Martial Ancient Hall."

The difference between dynasties is not just in the strength of their geniuses.

It also stems from information asymmetry.

Similarly, in the True Martial Ancient Hall, geniuses from top dynasties once entered it, and messages would be sent back.

But they only knew of their intermediate dynasties.

As for the lower-level dynasties, some were not even aware of such fortuitous opportunity.

Most of the geniuses from lower-level dynasties who participate in the Hundred Dynasty War are basically just there to make up the numbers.

"Yes, I'll listen to you, brother. Look, isn't that Yang Zhao from the top dynasty, the Longsui Dynasty? It's said that he had already reached the late stage of the Rebirth Realm before the Hundred Dynasty War. Maybe he'll have a chance to break through to the Furnace Fire Realm after he leaves the Hundred Dynasty Battlefield."

"You don't even have to do Servant Disciple for a single day!"

"These are truly top-tier geniuses. However, if my brother and I seize this opportunity in the True Martial Ancient Hall, we also have a chance to directly advance to the late stage of the Rebirth Realm. When that time comes, we should go in together and try not to leave."

The two brothers communicated subtly, and more and more geniuses gathered, some exchanging ideas with each other, while others waited in the corner.

Finally, an hour later.

Suddenly, a blinding light burst forth from the center of the arena.

Immediately afterwards, a bronze palace faintly appeared in the void.

At this critical moment, two streaks of light pierced through the air.

The sound stopped abruptly, and the figure landed on the ground.

It was none other than Jiang Shu and Xue Xuan!
