Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border

Ying Zheng realized that with his current strength, he was unable to break through Xue Qiang's defense, so he poured the power of the Primordial Chaos Dao into the spear.

As the power of the Primordial Dao was continuously injected, the luster on the Breaking Dao Spear became increasingly dazzling.

Ying Zheng held the Breaking Dao Spear in front of him and closed his eyes slightly.

Seeing this, Xue Qiang assumed that Ying Zheng had given up resisting, so he rushed towards him.

Just as Xue Qiang was about to rush to Ying Zheng, he suddenly realized that Ying Zheng in front of him was just a phantom.

Only then did Xue Qiang realize that he had been tricked, but he remained confident in his defenses.

At that moment, Ying Zheng quietly appeared behind Xue Qiang and thrust his spear into his back.

Sensing the presence behind him, Xue Qiang immediately turned around and punched the Breaking Dao Spear.

However, Ying Zheng disappeared again in an instant and appeared next to Xue Qiang.

"A god-slaying strike!"

As Ying Zheng's voice faded, the light on the Breaking Dao Spear shone even brighter.

Ying Zheng thrust forward with his Broken Dao Spear, creating a spear shadow that instantly attacked Xue Qiang.

At the same time as he delivered this attack, Ying Zheng thrust his spear at Xue Qiang several more times.

Xue Qiang concentrated his Dao power in front of him to block the attack from Ying Zheng.

As Ying Zheng's attacks rained down, cracks gradually appeared in the light shield surrounding Xue Qiang.

Ying Zheng did not choose to engage Xue Qiang in close combat at this moment, but instead stood at a distance and continuously gathered spear shadows to stab at him.

Ying Zheng's attacks landed one after another on the light barrier, with one of them hitting the spot where it had landed earlier.

The protective barrier shattered instantly. Seeing this, Ying Zheng lunged at Xue Qiang.

At this moment, Xue Qiang had already exhausted most of his Dao power. Seeing Ying Zheng rushing towards him, he poured the remaining Dao power into his right fist.

Xue Qiang wanted to strike first, so he threw a punch. Looking at the incoming Dao-breaking spear, he felt confident that he could neutralize the attack.

However, the moment Xue Qiang's fist touched the Breaking Path Spear, his fist passed right through the spear.

At this moment, Ying Zheng had already arrived behind Xue Qiang and stabbed him in the back with the real Breaking Dao Spear.

With the blessing of the Primordial Dao, the Dao-Breaking Spear easily broke through Xue Qiang's defenses.

At this moment, Xue Qiang tried to defend against Ying Zheng's attack, but it was too late.

Ying Zheng's attack landed squarely on Xue Qiang's back, causing him to bleed profusely.

After drawing his Breaking Dao Spear, Ying Zheng was about to thrust it forward again. Xue Qiang hurriedly said to him, "I concede defeat in this battle."

No sooner had Xue Qiang finished speaking than the tip of the Breaking Dao Spear was less than a fist's distance from his chest.

Seeing that Ying Zheng had stopped attacking, Xue Qiang collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Upon hearing Xue Qiang admit defeat, Ying Zheng put away the Breaking Dao Spear.

"You still have a chance, so why give up?" Ying Zheng said to Xue Qiang.

Xue Qiang sighed and said, "Actually, I don't want to give up either, but I know I'm no match for you. If I continue fighting, I'll just be getting beaten up for nothing."

After hearing Xue Qiang's words, Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Actually, your defense is also very strong. If it were someone else, it would be difficult to break through your defense."

Xue Qiang nodded and said, "Before I met you, no one else could break through my defenses so easily. You are the first person to do so."

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "The path of body cultivation is the most difficult. If you can't hold on halfway, all your previous efforts will be in vain. I hope you can go further and further."

Xue Qiang stood up, smiled and cupped his hands in thanks to Ying Zheng, saying, "Thank you for your kindness. In my opinion, with your strength, winning the top three in this Dragon Tiger Tournament is no problem at all."

Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "My goal is not just to be in the top three. If I'm going to compete, I'll compete for first place."

"If I reach the pinnacle, who dares to stand in my way?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Qiang's admiration for Ying Zheng deepened even further.

If I reach the pinnacle, who dares to stop me?

When Ying Zheng uttered these words, he seemed to possess an invincible will, capable of sweeping away all enemies in the world and helping himself to reach the pinnacle of the world.

"Keep going, I believe in you," Xue Qiang said to Ying Zheng.

At this moment, Bai Feng also arrived on the round platform and looked at Ying Zheng and the other person who were talking, saying, "The competition is over, and the winner is Ying Zheng. You have no objections, do you?"

Xue Qiang shook his head and said, "I admire Ying Zheng's strength from the bottom of my heart, and I am ashamed to admit that I am not as good as him."

After listening to Xue Qiang's words, Bai Feng walked up to him and said, "Actually, you're not bad either. If you were to encounter other people, you would definitely be able to defeat them."

Xue Qiang smiled and said, "Losing is losing, and I won't make excuses for myself. On the contrary, this has spurred my determination to become stronger. I want to take Brother Ying Zheng as my role model."

After saying this, Xue Qiang cupped his hands in greeting to Bai Feng and Ying Zheng, and then left the round platform.

"Congratulations on winning this match. You are now qualified to go to the cultivation secret realm."

After saying this, Bai Feng took out another jade pendant and handed it to Ying Zheng.

"This jade pendant is the key to unlocking the cultivation secret realm; you must keep it safe."

Ying Zheng nodded to Bai Feng and took the jade pendant from his hand.

After obtaining the jade pendant, Ying Zheng walked down from the stage.

As soon as Ying Zheng stepped down from the round platform, Mu Bai hurriedly came to his side and said, "I just watched your match, and I was so nervous. Luckily, you won in the end."

Hearing Mu Bai's words, Ying Zheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "You have so little confidence in me? Do you think I don't have the ability to get into the top ten of this Dragon Tiger Tournament?"

Upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, Mu Bai quickly waved his hand and said, "I didn't mean that. But your strength is indeed very impressive. That Xue Qiang is also quite good, it's a pity he ran into you."

Ying Zheng smiled and then led Mu Bai to the place where they had stayed before.

After seeing Ying Zheng leave, Bai Feng addressed the crowd below the stage.

"Now that the first six rounds have concluded, please invite the person who drew the number seven wooden plaque to come up to the round platform."

As soon as Bai Feng finished speaking, the crowd below the stage erupted in cheers.

"Lin Hai! Lin Hai! Lin Hai!"

The people below the pedestal shouted loudly.

Amid cheers from the crowd, a figure slowly walked onto the circular platform.

Lin Hai addressed the crowd below the circular platform.

"I'm determined to win first place in the Dragon Tiger Tournament this time. Thank you for your trust in me."

As soon as Lin Hai finished speaking, cheers erupted from the audience.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng looked at Mu Bai beside him with a puzzled expression and asked.

"Just who is Lin Hai? Why do so many people support him when he takes the stage?"

Mu Bai thought for a moment and then said to Ying Zheng.

"He has dominated the Dragon Tiger Tournament for several consecutive years, and no one has been able to take the top spot from him."

Ying Zheng nodded.

He now wants to see just how strong this person who has always been in first place really is.

Bai Feng waved to the crowd below the platform, and the noise gradually subsided.

Just then, a figure arrived on the round platform.

However, Lin Hai's gaze did not fall on that person, but instead looked at the location where Ying Zheng was.

When Ying Zheng saw Lin Hai staring at him, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"It seems he's noticed you this time. I really look forward to seeing what it'll be like when you run into him."

Mu Bai said to Ying Zheng.

"Today, I will snatch this first place from his hands," Ying Zheng said softly.

Mu Bai looked at Ying Zheng's incredibly confident appearance and said.

"You've never been here before, so you have no idea how terrifying his strength is. Although he's just like us, a half-step transcendent being."

Upon thinking of this, Mu Bai's expression immediately turned serious.

"But he can fight on equal terms with a transcendent being, which is something that ordinary people can't do. That tells you how strong he is."

After listening to Mu Bai's words, Ying Zheng nodded.

He had never fought against a transcendent being, but he had fought against his teacher Xuan Luo, and of course he was no match for Xuan Luo.

"I get more excited when I encounter a strong opponent. It all depends on how much pressure they can put on me."

Ying Zheng said.

Then, Ying Zheng's gaze returned to the round platform.

"Now that you two are ready, I declare this match to begin."

Bai Feng spoke to Lin Hai and the other cultivator.

No sooner had Bai Feng finished speaking than the cultivator suddenly spoke up.

"I concede."

After saying this, the cultivator cupped his hands in greeting to Lin Hai and then left the round platform.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng secretly felt regretful. He hadn't even seen Lin Hai make a move, so he didn't know just how strong Lin Hai was.

Seeing his opponent admit defeat, Lin Hai's smile grew even more arrogant.

Bai Feng wasn't particularly shocked by what he saw. It wasn't his first time hosting the Dragon and Tiger Tournament.

Bai Feng knew how strong Lin Hai was; he might be Ying Zheng's biggest rival on his path to becoming number one.

Bai Feng then addressed the crowd below the stage.

"Since the opponent has conceded defeat, I hereby declare Lin Hai the winner of this match."

After saying this, Bai Feng handed Lin Hai a jade pendant.

After receiving the jade pendant, Lin Hai bowed slightly to Bai Feng and then left the round platform.

"Next, the person who drew the number eight wooden plaque, please come up to the stage for the eighth battle."

Bai Feng addressed the people below the stage.

As soon as Bai Feng finished speaking, two figures arrived on the round platform.

"Therefore, I hereby declare that this match now begins."

After saying this, Bai Feng left the round platform.

After watching Bai Feng leave, the two people standing on the round platform bowed to each other and then began to unleash their respective supernatural powers.

Ying Zheng found the upcoming matches uninteresting, so he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate.

He didn't want to waste a single moment. If he could gain a deeper understanding of the Transcendent Realm, his strength would improve.

Seeing that Ying Zheng's gaze was no longer fixed on the round platform, but instead he sat down to begin cultivating, Mu Bai didn't say anything more.

Mu Bai seemed quite relaxed after receiving a bye; he knew that his entry into the top ten this time was also due to luck.

When the rankings are finalized later, he might just concede defeat; even tenth place would be good.

Mu Bai did not cultivate at this moment, but focused his attention on the round platform, watching the battle of others.

Before long, the winner was decided on the field.

Lei Yun won the eighth match. After handing the jade pendant to Lei Yun, Bai Feng addressed the audience below the stage.

"Next, the final match is about to begin. The person who drew the number nine wooden card, please come to the round platform."

Lei Yun accepted the jade pendant and stepped off the stage.

At this moment, Ying Zheng was still cultivating and did not watch the upcoming battle.

An hour later, the ninth battle came to an end.

Bai Feng handed the jade pendant to the winner, and then addressed the people below the round platform.

"The top ten cultivators in this Dragon-Tiger Gathering have now been preliminarily determined. Those who have obtained the jade pendant, please stand on the round platform."

Upon hearing Bai Feng's words, those who had won the competition came up to the round platform one by one.

At this moment, Mu Bai spoke to Ying Zheng, who was cultivating nearby.

"Let's stop for a moment, he's calling us upstairs."

Ying Zheng slowly opened his eyes and found Mu Bai standing beside him, and nine people were already standing on the round platform.

What are we going up there for now?

Ying Zheng said to Mu Bai.

Mu Bai shook his head.

"I don't know either. Let's go up first and see what he says then."

After saying this, Mu Bai and Ying Zheng also came to the round platform.

After Bai Feng saw that everyone had arrived, he addressed the ten people standing on the round platform.

"First of all, congratulations to the ten of you who have made it into the top ten of this Dragon Tiger Tournament. Now, you have all earned the opportunity to go to the cultivation secret realm."

"However, although you have been given this opportunity, the length of time you spend cultivating inside is still up to you to decide."

Hearing what Bai Feng said, Ying Zheng was very puzzled and asked him.

"What do you mean by that? Why do we have to fight for it ourselves?"

As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, the other eight people standing with him on the round platform burst into laughter.

Bai Feng then approached Ying Zheng and said...

"We determine how long you can stay in the cultivation realm based on your ranking. Therefore, in the final stage, you will need to have a final competition."

"By striving for different rankings, one can obtain corresponding training time."

Ying Zheng then nodded.

After explaining to Ying Zheng, Bai Feng addressed the ten people on the stage.

"Now I will tell you who won each battle."

"First, Wang Nan won the first match, followed by Wang Hu, Zhao Feng, Ouyang Ke, Ma Fei, Ying Zheng, Lin Hai, Lei Yun, Mu Ze, and Mu Bai."

Just as Bai Feng finished introducing everyone present, Ying Zheng noticed several unfriendly gazes.

Ying Zheng followed his gaze and saw that it was Wang Nan, Lin Hai, and Lei Yun.

However, Ying Zheng didn't care too much. If they were dissatisfied, he could just beat them into submission later.

His fists are the bane of all who dare to defy him.

After introducing everyone present, Bai Feng addressed them.

"You will now have one hour to recover. After one hour, the final ranking competition will take place here."

After Bai Feng finished speaking, a pill appeared in front of Ying Zheng and the others.

"This pill will allow you to quickly recover your depleted Dao power. You should start recovering now, and I look forward to seeing how you perform next."

After saying this, Bai Feng left the circular platform and vanished instantly. (End of Chapter)
