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

After blocking Lin Hai's attack, Ying Zheng immediately distanced himself from him.

"A god-slaying strike!"

Ying Zheng no longer held back, pouring all the power of the Primordial Dao and destiny into the Breaking Dao Spear.

As the two forces continued to be injected, the power inside the Breaking Spear became increasingly stronger.

At this moment, the spear shadows that had gathered in front of Ying Zheng had changed significantly compared to before, appearing more agile.

Ying Zheng urged the spear shadow to attack Lin Hai.

Lin Hai held his long staff upright in front of him to block the spear's shadow, then rushed to Ying Zheng.

Now that his strength has been restored, he wants to engage in close combat with Ying Zheng, believing that Ying Zheng will definitely not be able to withstand his offensive.

Upon seeing this, Ying Zheng retreated continuously.

But Lin Hai relentlessly pursued him, determined to keep Ying Zheng here forever.

Lin Hai realized he couldn't catch up with Ying Zheng, so he cast a spell. A golden barrier suddenly appeared around Ying Zheng, trapping him inside.

Ying Zheng realized he was trapped, so he punched the barrier several times, but the barrier did not budge.

Lin Hai slowly walked up to Ying Zheng and said:
"I've practiced this forbidden technique for a long time, originally planning to use it when facing transcendent beings in the future, but now it seems the time is right."

"With your current strength, you simply cannot break it."

After saying that, Lin Hai went straight into the golden barrier and punched Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng also threw a punch to meet the attack, but he was no match for Lin Hai and crashed into the golden barrier.

Lin Hai burst into laughter upon seeing this:

"Go ahead and keep hitting me! Just admit defeat now, or I won't be polite."

Lin Hai dared not kill Ying Zheng at this moment because Bai Feng was right there on the sidelines—otherwise, he himself would be killed by Bai Feng.

A mouthful of blood spilled from Ying Zheng's mouth. He wiped away the blood, slowly stood up, and said to Lin Hai:
"This banned drug you took must have a time limit, right? Once the time limit is exceeded, you will become very weak."

Upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, Lin Hai was startled—he hadn't expected Ying Zheng to be able to see through this.

However, Lin Hai still pretended to be calm and said:

"This pill I took has no time limit. If this continues, you're no match for me. You'd better admit defeat."

Lin Hai didn't want to delay any longer, because the banned drug did have a time limit, and he couldn't hold on for much longer.

"You want me to admit defeat? Then you'll have to wait another hundred years."

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Ying Zheng said to Lin Hai.

Lin Hai was furious and threw several more punches at Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng could barely withstand Lin Hai's attacks at this moment. He was waiting, waiting for the effects of the forbidden drug to wear off.

By then, he will be able to defeat Lin Hai.

With the blessing of the Wheel of Fortune, Ying Zheng could hold on for a while longer.

Although Lin Hai's attacks were getting faster and faster, their power was gradually weakening.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng felt that his judgment was correct and continued to defuse Lin Hai's attacks.

Seeing that he couldn't defeat Ying Zheng in a short time, Lin Hai waved his right hand, and the long staff flew back into his hand.

Ying Zheng also paused briefly, took a few more healing pills, and put away the Breaking Dao Spear.

At this moment, the power of fate was also continuously healing Ying Zheng's injuries.

Just as Lin Hai was about to speak, Ying Zheng thrust out with his spear—rather than passively defending, Ying Zheng felt it was better to take the initiative.

Lin Hai struck the broken-through gun with his stick.

boom!
Suddenly, a series of booming sounds erupted from within the golden barrier.

Lin Hai could no longer hold back—if he couldn't kill Ying Zheng now, he would have no chance.

Because the effects of the medicine were about to wear off, Lin Hai immediately summoned the Giant Dharma Image.

At this moment, Ying Zheng also retrieved the River of Fate and held it in front of him.

The giant's attack was even more powerful than Lin Hai's own. However, thanks to the River of Destiny's defense, Ying Zheng was able to buy himself a brief respite.

After blocking the giant's attack, Ying Zheng directly activated the River of Destiny to shatter the golden barrier beside him.

Ying Zheng rushed out, putting distance between himself and Lin Hai.

Lin Hai hurriedly chased after Ying Zheng, but he could never catch up with his speed.

Ying Zheng was going faster and faster, while Lin Hai's speed was gradually decreasing.

Ying Zheng did not stop upon seeing this; instead, he continued to dodge Lin Hai's attacks.

While chasing Ying Zheng, Lin Hai took several healing pills in an attempt to prolong their effects.

But it was all in vain.

At this moment, Lin Hai's aura was slowly decreasing. Ying Zheng stopped when he saw this.

"Looks like the drug's effects have worn off. It's my turn to make a move now."

Ying Zheng said to Lin Hai.

At this moment, black energy began to emanate from Lin Hai's body, and his expression showed extreme pain.

"Kill me... I feel so bad..."

Lin Hai knelt on the ground, looking at Ying Zheng with a ferocious expression.

Ying Zheng found this scene very strange—even if he had taken a forbidden drug, the reaction shouldn't be this strong.

Just then, Bai Feng arrived beside Lin Hai and pointed a finger at her forehead. The black aura around Lin Hai gradually dissipated.

Ying Zheng also walked up to Bai Feng.

"Why did he become like this? Even if he took banned drugs, it shouldn't be this bad."

Bai Feng nodded to Ying Zheng and said:

"His body couldn't withstand the effects of the banned drug and suffered a backlash. If it had been any later, he might have died in excruciating pain."

Ying Zheng said with a look of surprise:
"It can't be that serious, right? At most, it'll just be exhaustion, how could it lead to death?"

Bai Feng shook his head and said:
"Because the banned drug he took was too powerful, far beyond what he could handle at the moment."

This taught Ying Zheng a lesson: eat only what you can handle, and don't do things beyond your capabilities, otherwise you might lose control.

"I won't say any more, you are the champion of this year's Dragon and Tiger Tournament."

Bai Feng spoke slowly.

When Lin Hai took the banned drug, Mu Bai was very worried for Ying Zheng.

However, after seeing Ying Zheng defeat Lin Hai, Mu Bai excitedly came to his side.

"I didn't expect you to be so strong. Even Lin Hai, who was on performance-enhancing drugs, was no match for you."

Mu Bai said to Ying Zheng.

"His evil deeds will surely lead to his downfall. He didn't have the ability but dared to talk back to me. But in the end, the result was not bad."

Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said to Mu Bai.

Just then, the other cultivators also arrived on the circular platform.

"As you have all seen, the final winner is Ying Zheng."

Bai Feng addressed the cultivators around him.

People around Ying Zheng cast envious glances at him. They greatly admired his strength—that he could win first place among these geniuses.

"Now, the top ten rankings for this competition have been announced. Please take out the jade pendants I gave you earlier."

Bai Feng addressed the victorious cultivators. Those who made it into the top ten were somewhat puzzled by Bai Feng's words, but still took out their jade pendants.

Bai Feng waved his hand, and ten beams of light were injected into the jade pendants of Ying Zheng and the others.

"This jade pendant is your proof of entry into the cultivation secret realm. The ten orbs of light just now represent the time each of you can stay inside."

"The higher the ranking, the longer you stay inside."

The jade pendants in Ying Zheng's and the others' hands shone with varying degrees of brightness. The jade pendant in Ying Zheng's hand was the most dazzling one present.

Ying Zheng put the jade pendant away and said to Bai Feng:
"Is this the only reward? I heard that the rewards from the Dragon Tiger Club are very generous."

Bai Feng smiled after hearing Ying Zheng's words. He had originally planned to tell them on his own initiative, but he hadn't expected Ying Zheng to be so impatient.

"Don't rush. After I've explained everything clearly, I'll give you what you deserve."

Ying Zheng nodded and then carefully put away the jade pendant in his hand.

"First of all, congratulations on your victory in this Dragon-Tiger Tournament. A month from now, I will take you to the cultivation secret realm for further training."

"This is unprecedented treatment. You could say your reward this time is extremely generous."

Bai Feng spoke to Ying Zheng and the others.

The other cultivators were overjoyed to hear that they could go to the cultivation secret realm to cultivate.

Previously, getting in was an impossible task. But this time, being able to enter directly for cultivation made them feel that their trip hadn't been in vain.

"In addition to the opportunity to cultivate in the secret realm, you can also obtain gold and silver jewelry, cultivation techniques, and Dao artifacts."

Bai Feng addressed the other cultivators.

After speaking, Bai Feng first went to Mu Bai and took out a low-grade Dao artifact.

"Don't underestimate this Dao artifact just because it's an Earth-rank item; it's the best among Earth-rank items."

Bai Feng said to Mu Bai.

Mu Bai happily accepted the Dao artifact and said to Bai Feng:
"Thank you, Elder Bai."

After handing the Dao artifact to Mu Bai, Bai Feng took out a local-grade cultivation technique and handed it to Mu Bai.

Next, Bai Feng went to the other winners and handed over their deserved rewards one by one.

At this moment, Ying Zheng was waiting for Bai Feng to come over.

A short while later, Bai Feng arrived before Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng smiled when he saw him.

"You've really impressed me this time; you've brought honor to your master."

Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said:

"Then I certainly can't let my master's illustrious reputation go to waste. It's mainly because of her excellent teaching."

Looking at the humble Ying Zheng, Bai Feng then took out a three-foot-long sword of divine rank.

Ying Zheng took the longsword from Bai Feng and gently stroked its blade.

However, having always used the Hadō spear, he felt somewhat unaccustomed to suddenly receiving a sword.

"This sword is called the Dragon Pattern Sword. It is a divine-grade Dao artifact that can cut through iron like mud. Its power can rival that of the legendary imperial-grade Dao artifacts."

"However, it is definitely not as good as a true royal-grade Dao artifact."

Ying Zheng nodded, then dripped a drop of his blood essence onto the Dragon Pattern Sword. Instantly, the sword began to emit rays of light.

Ying Zheng held the dragon-patterned sword in his hand, finding it remarkably light. He swung it a couple of times, finding it incredibly easy to wield.

“It is indeed very good. However, I have never studied swordsmanship before, so it would be a waste for you to give me this sword.”

Ying Zheng stopped what he was doing and said to Bai Feng.

Bai Feng could also see that Ying Zheng was quite fond of the dragon-patterned sword, so he smiled and said:

“I also noticed that you’ve been using the Breaking Dao Spear. That’s why I chose a divine-level cultivation technique for you.”

"Moreover, this cultivation technique was created along with the Dragon Pattern Sword. With the Dragon Pattern Sword's blessing, you will find it much easier to cultivate that technique."

After saying that, Bai Feng took out a cultivation manual and handed it to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng took the manual from Bai Feng's hand, and the manual immediately transformed into a stream of light, directly entering his forehead.

Immediately, records about the Dragon Pattern Sword and a cultivation method for a martial arts manual appeared in Ying Zheng's mind.

Ying Zheng nodded to Bai Feng and said:

"Thank you, Elder Bai."

Ying Zheng had a good impression of Bai Feng, so he didn't seem too distant.

Bai Feng waved his hand and said:
"Why are you being so polite? This is what you deserve after winning first place. I'm just passing it on to you."

"In that case, can we leave now?"

Ying Zheng said to Bai Feng, eager to learn what the cultivation techniques of the divine realm were like.

Bai Feng nodded to Ying Zheng and then spoke.

"It's almost over. I'll announce a few more things to you."

Ying Zheng nodded and found that Bai Feng looked very kind and approachable.

However, if others knew Ying Zheng's thoughts, they would definitely think that he was deceived by Bai Feng's appearance.

"Now that you have all the cultivation techniques and magical artifacts, let's meet here at the Trial Tower again in a month. I will take you to the cultivation secret realm."

Bai Feng's voice rang in everyone's ears.

"You can also cultivate in this Trial Tower during this month, but you must arrive here on time after one month, otherwise you will not be waited for."

Bai Feng then addressed the crowd.

After hearing Bai Feng's words, everyone nodded, then cupped their hands in greeting to Bai Feng and Ying Zheng before leaving the round platform.

Soon, only Mu Bai, Ying Zheng, and Bai Feng remained in the arena.

Bai Feng was puzzled to see that Ying Zheng had not left yet, as Ying Zheng had seemed very anxious just now.

Why are you still standing on this round platform? Aren't you going to leave?

Bai Feng said to Ying Zheng, who was standing to the side.

Do you know where my master is right now?

Ying Zheng asked Bai Feng.

Ying Zheng wanted to tell Xuan Luo the good news that he had won first place, and also wanted Xuan Luo to teach him how to use the Dragon Pattern Sword.

As his strength continued to increase, the Breaking Dao Spear could no longer keep up with his pace, and the Dragon Pattern Sword could just fill that gap.

"I don't know about your master. Didn't she leave you any means of communication after she sent you to this Trial Tower?"

Bai Feng said to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng shook his head and said.

"We came in too quickly, and my master and I didn't leave any means of transmitting sound."

Bai Feng nodded, then thought for a moment.

Bai Feng was currently considering whether to take Ying Zheng to find Xuan Luo, or let him continue to cultivate in the Trial Tower.

Ying Zheng looked at Bai Feng, who had been silent for a long time, and said.

"It's alright, I'll stay in this Trial Tower for the next month. I'll definitely come back after a month."

Ying Zheng couldn't think of any way to find his master at the moment, but Xuan Luo would probably come to see him.

"If you have nowhere to go, come back to the Dao Mansion with me first. I can also tell you about the Dragon Pattern Sword and its cultivation method." (End of Chapter)
