National Call: Start the Undead War God 096

"Crisis? What crisis?" Xu Shisan asked curiously.

Rumor has it that Linggu is a secluded sect, and outsiders have no idea where it is located. Outsiders can't even find it, so what danger could there be?
In response, Li Anan explained, "Our sect is located at the foot of a cliff on the border. The top of the cliff is shrouded in thick fog all year round, but the bottom of the cliff is a paradise. Our Linggu has more than 8,000 disciples, all of whom are women. Outsiders say that our Linggu does not recruit male disciples, but in fact, a hundred years ago, our Linggu also had male disciples, and quite a lot of them. The ratio of male to female disciples was as high as one to two. Moreover, at that time, our Linggu was much stronger, with a total of 30,000 disciples."

"However, a hundred years ago, a major change occurred in our Ling Valley."

"I don't know the specifics of what happened. All I know is that our Spirit Valley was divided into two factions. One faction left Spirit Valley and established a new sect called the Joyful Union Sect on an island hundreds of miles away."

"The Hehuan Sect?" Xu Shisan frowned.

Isn't this a classic dual cultivation sect?

So, Xu Shisan asked curiously, "Does the Hehuan Sect have a strong tradition of dual cultivation?"

"Hmm? How did Young Master Xu know?" Li Anan was surprised.

"I guessed from the name." Xu Shisan shrugged.

"That's right. This Hehuan Sect does have a prevalent practice of dual cultivation, but it's an evil practice. They absorb the energy of their partners' consciousness to cultivate, and they even drain their partners until they're dried up. The disciples in the sect are all extremely lewd and wantonly steal summoners from the outside world, using them as physical dimensional stones."

"Two years ago, the Hehuan Sect set its sights on our Linggu disciples. Every time our Linggu disciples went out, they would be attacked by the Hehuan Sect. A year ago, the sect leader of the Hehuan Sect even came to our valley and demanded that we hand over three hundred disciples of B-rank or above every year to them. If we did not hand them over, they would take action against our entire sect."

"Although the Hehuan Sect and Linggu were from the same lineage a hundred years ago, after they separated, they used these evil cultivation methods to cultivate many powerful summoners. After a hundred years of development, their strength has far surpassed that of our Linggu."

“If we refuse, we may face annihilation. For the safety of Linggu and to prevent the disciples of the sect from being humiliated, Master set up a bet for the Hehuan Sect, requiring the younger generation of the sect to compete. If Linggu wins, it can reject the unreasonable demands of the Hehuan Sect.”

"Therefore, this time when Linggu came out of the mountains to participate in the Imperial Dynasty Competition, the competition was secondary. Master mainly wanted me to recruit a few outstanding disciples to participate in the competition on behalf of Linggu."

"My senior sister and I searched for a long time and finally chose you, young master. If you are willing to join our Ling Valley and help us win the competition, I am willing to offer myself to you."

After listening to Li Anan's explanation, Xu Shisan understood.

He pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Since we've met, I might be willing to lend a hand this time. However, although I want to sleep with you, I don't want to take responsibility. Let's be more practical. If you can pay me five thousand S-grade dimensional stones, I might be willing to help."

Upon hearing Xu Shisan's words that he wanted to sleep with her but didn't want to take responsibility, Li Anan curled his lip, thinking that Xu Shisan was a real scumbag, but in a way that made him hard to dislike.

“Alright, if you can help us win the competition, five thousand S-grade dimensional stones are no problem,” Li Anan agreed.

S-grade dimensional stones are a form of hard currency throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

Because S-grade dimensional stones are extremely precious, there are only a handful of S-grade mines in the entire Southwest Prefecture.

The dimensional stones circulating in the market are all below grade A.

S-grade dimensional stones are qualitatively different from A-grade ones.

To put it simply, an A-grade dimensional stone is not very effective for an S-grade summoner to use for cultivation; it's like drinking water drop by drop.

However, S-grade dimensional stones can not only enable S-grade summoners to cultivate quickly, but even SS-grade summoners can use them for cultivation.

Therefore, one S-grade dimensional stone can be exchanged for at least one hundred A-grade dimensional stones.

It would be difficult for the entire Spirit Valley to gather five thousand S-grade dimensional stones, which is equivalent to the entire stock of Spirit Valley.

The reason why the Great Xia Dynasty had so many young SS-level summoners was because they were nurtured by high-level dimensional stones.

"Alright, after the competition ends, I'll accompany you back to the sect. But let me make this clear first, I won't stay there. I'll leave after I win the competition for you." "Okay, I'll explain to Master."

The two parties eventually reached an agreement.

However, Li Anan looked at Xu Shisan and teased him, "Young Master Xu, if I were to offer myself to you, could you spare me the five thousand S-grade dimensional stones?"

"I'll have to think about it, but the massage you gave me just now felt really good, so I might be able to skip a few pills."

"Then please massage it a little longer, young master."

As he spoke, Li Anan threw himself into Xu Shisan's arms again.

The next day.

Lord Mu led three teams from the Southwest Prefecture to the Imperial Duel Arena once again.

Although both the Qingming Sect team and the Linggu team were eliminated, it didn't stop them from watching the game.

After all, the Imperial Tournament is a grand event held once every three years.

Once again, they entered the dueling arena through a special passage. The entire arena was just as crowded as yesterday, with hundreds of thousands of spectators.

All 144 participating teams have arrived, including the 40 teams that were eliminated yesterday, who can still watch the game from their respective seats.

The five black-robed figures from the Demon Realm were also present.

As the bell rang again for the championship, the third round of the Imperial Dynasty Championship officially began. Without any unnecessary words, the referee, Elder Huang, directly instructed the contestants to draw lots.

Wu Junchi was the one who went to draw lots at Tianbei College.

Wu Junchi returned quickly; he had drawn number 20, which was in the middle.

The Royal Dynasty Championship had a total of 144 teams, 40 of which were eliminated. The top ten teams from the previous tournament did not need to participate in the third round, so there were a total of 94 teams, with 47 draws.

"Now, please welcome the team that signs in number 1 and number 4 to the stage."

As the match began, the hundreds of thousands of spectators in the arena once again became lively, with cheers erupting continuously.

The later matches are the most exciting, because they feature strong teams.

"Next, please welcome the four teams that checked in on the 17th and the 20th to the stage."

Following Elder Huang's instructions, it was finally Tianbei Academy's turn.

Xu Shisan led Cui Yinglong and the other three to the arena.

The team that faced off against Tianbei Academy came from Menghe County, and their sect was called the Divine Turtle Sect.

The five members of the Tortoise Shelly Team are all muscular men.

They were all like bodybuilding champions, all huge men. (End of Chapter)
