Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 313 Contract
Zhang Xinglie stared at the stove, his expression extremely complicated, as if he were smoking with all his might, his face contorted from inhaling the smoke.

The ball of light that landed in Zhou Leng's hand transformed into half of a tiger tally.

Song Juesi's expression changed, he opened his mouth and swallowed it, then sat down to meditate.

A surge of mysterious power overflowed from Song Juesi's body, turning into a faint white mist that instantly filled the entire second layer of the light shield.

Zhou Leng and Zhang Xinglie exchanged a glance.

"Wait a minute."

The two waited quietly. The white mist inside the second layer of the light barrier grew thicker and thicker, and those outside could no longer see the three people inside.

Even though the two of them did nothing, those mysterious powers still surged into their bodies.

They looked at what the other was holding and saw a hint of disappointment in each other's eyes.

"How are your things?" Zhang Xinglie asked.

Zhou Leng said, "It's not something for cultivation. Half of the Tiger Seal might be of great use, or it might be a long time before it can be used."

Zhang Xinglie tossed the small stove in his hand to Zhou Leng.

"then."

"Huh?" Zhou Leng caught it and immediately felt the weight of more than ten tons. He quickly gathered his strength and caught it properly.

Zhang Xinglie sighed, "I never thought that even someone as lucky as me would have a time of setbacks."

"What do you mean?" Zhou Leng asked.

"This thing is very good; it even transmitted a passage of divine script to me. But I don't understand divine script, I don't know what it means, and now I've even forgotten it. Besides, this thing is too heavy; it can't fit in my magic pouch. I'm giving it to you as a thank you for giving me the ticket to the Ancient River Trial."

Zhang Xinglie touched his magic pouch; it was a pity there were no cigarettes, otherwise he could have smoked a whole pack.

Zhou Leng observed it carefully and found that the object had an ancient appearance and a profound aura, making it a very important treasure.

Slowly turn it over, and in the center of one side, you'll see a small divine script.

Star Refining Furnace.

Zhou Leng was startled and immediately thought of the Little Star Pill in Wu Fuzi's hand.

"Could it be..."

Zhou Leng felt a surge of excitement. This thing was likely the first crafted star-shaped treasure in the human realm, or even the Ten Realms, and its overall impact on humanity would certainly far exceed that of a sword.

"Don't tell me you can't see the value of this treasure?" Zhou Leng asked.

"Of course I can tell. It's definitely a treasure from the starry sky. It's either an offensive or a crafting item, or at the very least a defensive one. But I have no idea how to use it. No one in the Ten Realms is more likely to figure it out than you. Only in your hands can it realize its true value. You happen to have a spatial magic bag, so quickly put it away and don't wave it in front of me. If I regret it, you'll be fully responsible."

Zhang Xinglie was filled with melancholy; the young man was experiencing sorrow for the first time.

Zhou Leng looked at the Star Refining Furnace.

Perhaps only someone as carefree as Zhang Xinglie would be willing to give away a treasure worth trillions.

Zhou Leng said, "From what I understand, this furnace is called the Star Refining Furnace, and it's probably used to refine pills or other treasures. The first batch of pills or treasures will definitely be given to you first."

"It's a word."

Zhang Xinglie looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, feeling even more melancholy.

As the owner of the treasure, he knew nothing.

As soon as Zhou Leng took over, he recognized it as the Star Refining Furnace.

How can the differences between people be so great?
This academic genius is better off not being one; it's shameful.

Zhou Leng carefully put away the Star Refining Furnace.

The Star Refining Furnace was far too valuable, so he picked out some medicinal fruits and Innate Advancement Pills from his Demon Spirit Bag and handed them to Zhang Xinglie.

Zhang Xinglie accepted as many offers as he could without hesitation.

Finally, Zhou Leng handed over a crystal fruit, a gift from Xiao Ba.

"This fruit is very important. Only eat it if your injury is too severe and life-threatening."

Zhang Xinglie took the crystal fruit, which looked like a colorless and transparent crystal apple, with iridescent colors flowing around the core, making it seem like a living thing.

"Good stuff." Zhang Xinglie carefully put it away.

Shortly after, Song Juesi opened his eyes.

He seemed to still have something to say, and looked around at the white mist.

"This item is suitable for me, but my body has reached its limit. You two should try to absorb it through your internal energy, so that it doesn't benefit those who come in later."

The two sat down cross-legged on the spot and began to cultivate, absorbing the other power scattered by Elder Song.

Zhou Leng initially tried to use the Star-Selection Technique, but the effect was not good.

After switching to the cultivation method of the Undying Star, the absorption efficiency increased dramatically.

Although Zhang Xinglie has great talent, he lacks the method to absorb it, resulting in slow absorption.

Zhou Leng absorbed most of the power thanks to his immortal star body.

Old Song saw that a vortex seemed to form around Zhou Leng, with a large amount of white mist surging into his body.

"This kid..."

After a long while, the white mist completely dissipated.

Zhou Leng vaguely felt an indescribable vitality bursting forth within his body.

I drank the water of life a few days ago and even swallowed a crystal of life, experiencing the pure power of life.

These white mists surpass life crystals in both energy level and total quantity.

It even gives you the feeling of reversing your lifespan.

I can't absorb it all right now; it all settles in my body and slowly exerts its power.

Zhou Leng and Zhang Xinglie opened their eyes.

The two observed Song Juesi; his skin was so smooth and shiny that he looked like a young man in his twenties or thirties.

Instead of looking old, he exudes a unique youthful charm.

Zhang Xinglie asked, "Old Song, what is this?"

Song Juesi said, "I don't know either, I only know that I am full of vitality. From now on, my body will be free of any hidden dangers. I have a feeling that the speed at which I advance to the Grandmaster level may be beyond my imagination."

"Congratulations, Elder Song!" The two men clasped their hands in greeting.

At that moment, the earth shook violently.

The three looked outside and saw the first large stone statue lying on the ground.

Beside the Great Stone Man, the deep, dark rage was a sight to behold.

The majestic dragon with its spine had its wings torn off.

The dragon head on its back was smashed flat and embedded in its back.

Both front paws were broken off, and both hind legs were limping.

The main body was knocked askew, and its eye sockets were bruised and swollen, leaving only two slits.

Scales fell to the ground, revealing blood-black skin covered in wounds.

Like a giant, plucked black chicken. "Hehehehe..."

Deep Wrath chuckled, his laughter filled with pleasure, and limped into the second layer of the light barrier.

All parties looked at the deep, dark rage with admiration.

"Azure Dragon, what do we do next?"

"Pay homage to the altar."

"it is good."

The Dark Wrath bowed in homage.

A ball of light flew high and landed in his mouth.

It was a piece of white jade marrow, its surface shimmering with starlight and exuding a profound aura.

The Dark Wrath swallowed it whole, initially feeling nothing, but soon its face contorted in pain.

"A tentacle-raised beast..."

Deep Dark Wrath suddenly cursed loudly, fell to the ground, and rolled around in pain.

His injuries healed rapidly, and scales and dragon wings slowly regenerated.

Zhang Xinglie glanced at Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng shook his head.

After a long while, Deep Wrath lay weakly on the ground, sprawled out, bearing no resemblance to a dragon.

After a long while, the deepest wrath rose up.

"It hurts so much..." he complained in a low voice.

“Your strength has increased again,” Zhou Leng said.

“I think so too.” Dark Wrath became happy again and looked outside.

Inside the first layer of the light shield, everyone wore expressions of helplessness.

Can't get in, can't get in at all.

Previously, someone tried to fight the Great Stone Man alone, but after three people were knocked unconscious by a single punch, no one dared to challenge him anymore.

"Let me try."

Shanheyuan stepped forward to fight the giant stone man who was even taller than him.

The two clashed like two elephants, and after a hundred moves, Shanheyuan was sent flying by a punch, coughing up blood and collapsing to the ground.

Then Wan Shanjia stepped in, and he held out for 150 moves before being knocked away.

No one has tried this yet.

Gray Steel Wind, still shaken, kept his distance.

The Emerald Dragon had absolutely no idea whatsoever.

Outside the first layer of light shield.

The blasphemous page raised his head, looked up at the sky above the highest mountain, and gazed at the list of young scholars.

In the ranking of youths, the rankings of humans, especially those who emerged from the ancient river trials, have risen significantly.

They were originally ranked between three hundred and one thousand.

But now, many people are inexplicably ranked within the top 200 or even below 100.

The blasphemous page looked into the light barrier.

Other races fought the Stone Golems just like these humans; they shouldn't have done so.

It is very likely that these humans discovered the secret to rapidly improving their rankings, which is why they were able to do so.

On the outside of the book cover that blasphemed the pageboy, veins bulged and blood flowed rapidly.

Inside the second layer of the light shield.

The Dark Wrath repeatedly offered sacrifices at the altar, but to no avail.

“I probably don’t need to stay here anymore.” Dark Wrath tried to extend its dragon claw, penetrate the second layer of shield, and walk back.

Zhou Leng and the other two exchanged glances, looked at the altar, and then turned and walked out of the second layer of light shield.

Zhou Leng headed straight for Emerald Wings and pulled him to a secluded spot.

"You still have that human cultivation technique of yours, right?"

"Of course it's still there."

"You're no use keeping it. How about this, I'll rent it for a year using magic gold worth one hundred million Dragon Kingdom Yuan. Once I become a Grandmaster, I'll help you retrieve the Jade Crown's corpse. How about that?"

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

"Do you want the corpse of the Emerald Crown?"

"want."

"Do you think anyone in the world today, besides me, can get it for you? Even a demigod might not be able to. And even if they could, why wouldn't a demigod take it for themselves?"

The Emerald Wings remained silent.

"Moreover, I will only learn this for one year and then return it to you. One hundred million Dragon Kingdom Yuan in one year, ten billion in ten years, and ten billion in one hundred years, which is more expensive than this cultivation technique."

The Emerald Wings remained silent.

"You've seen my growth and my strength. I was far inferior to you before, but now, as long as you don't run away, I'm confident I can kill you. It won't be long before I become a Grandmaster before you, help you obtain the dragon corpse of the Emerald Crown, and aid your advancement. If I'm not mistaken, the Emerald Crown's corpse carries some kind of extremely important treasure, right?"

Emerald Wings' eyes flickered, and she retorted, "If I want to run, you can't kill me at all."

Zhou Leng said, "You have no idea what the cultivation technique you have is. If it's useless or the martial artist can't cultivate it, no one will buy it. After all, it's something from your Dragon Clan's ruins... Hmm, 100 million Dragon Kingdom Yuan is a bit of a loss, how about 50 million?"

"No way, how can you renege on your promise?" Emerald Wings roared in anger.

"You didn't agree either."

“I agree in my heart!” Emerald Wings retorted.

"Really?" Zhou Leng asked.

Emerald Wings hesitated, "Besides helping me retrieve the dragon corpse of the Emerald Crown, you also need to do me a small favor. I'm not sure what it is yet, because I have quite a few things to do. Of course, I won't make things too difficult for you; if you find it too challenging, you can give up."

“Okay!” Zhou Leng said.

You're not allowed to lie to me.

"When have I ever lied to anyone?"

"You have been using a fake identity to deceive people."

"Are you human too?"

"...Why don't you write a contract?"

"Row."
