People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 76 Strong Ranking Competition
【Follow-up: Ranked in the top ten of the Strong List Competition.】

[The next advance payment can be opened only after the subsequent progress is completed. The current number of advance payments available is zero.]

The sweet juice of the Tianfei Fruit flowed down his throat into his stomach, but before Chen Xiao could savor it, it turned into tremendous energy and burst out in his body.

But the most strange thing was that despite such a huge medicinal power, Chen Xiao did not feel any pain at all. The medicinal power was extremely gentle. The only discomfort he felt was a bit bloated, like a person with a very small appetite gritting his teeth and eating three times the usual amount of food.

Without taking the time to feel it carefully, Chen Xiao quickly formed a hand seal for cultivation and began to organize and guide this powerful medicinal power, allowing it to circulate along the route of the internal exercises.

Over and over again, in a cycle.

As the discomfort of being stretched gradually subsided, Chen Xiao's own strength was rapidly approaching that of an eight-star Dou Ling...

hum~
A petite figure appeared silently in the room, and Zi Yan came back.

She glanced at Chen Xiao, who was concentrating on refining the medicinal properties of the Tianfei Fruit, and her nose twitched slightly.

I'm late!
A look of disappointment flashed across his little face for a moment, but quickly dissipated. He walked straight to the wooden window and sat down. He took out the unfinished herbs and took a bite. Then he frowned and stared at the herbs in his hand that could no longer be recognized as they were originally, as if asking, why are they so unpalatable?

But feeling Chen Xiao's rising aura, Zi Yan could only sigh silently and continue to work. She ate while helping Chen Xiao to protect the law, completely forgetting that this was in the inner courtyard. There was no place safer than here in the entire Black Horn Region.

He stayed there from dusk till dark, and from dark till late at night, until Zi Yan had used up three medicinal herbs. Only then did Chen Xiao on the bed tremble slightly and slowly open his eyes.

"I was wondering how you could possibly be so confident in competing for the top three spots on the Power Ranking with only a Seven-Star Douling Spirit. Turns out you're hiding something valuable!"

Chen Xiao had already noticed Zi Yan's arrival, so he was not surprised to hear the sound suddenly.

"Of course, I won't do anything without confidence. I'm now at the peak of the eight-star Douling Spirit. Before the Power Ranking Competition begins, it shouldn't be difficult for me to advance to the nine-star level."

Zi Yan nodded slightly. She had always been envious of Chen Xiao's cultivation speed.

"Among the students in the inner courtyard right now, if you are included, there are exactly five nine-star Dou Ling and four eight-star Dou Ling. You are probably the top ten. I wonder how many more Dou Wang will emerge after the top ten receive their rewards this year."

Chen Xiao pondered for a moment, thinking about the rewards for the top ten on the power list.

Seeing that he didn't reply, Zi Yan thought he didn't understand, so she immediately put on the attitude of a mentor, stood up with her hands behind her back and explained.

"According to past conventions, anyone who can place in the top ten of this competition is eligible to become a candidate for elder. Many elders in the inner courtyard now came through this process. However, from the top ten of the previous Power Ranking, only three chose to stay in the inner courtyard, and they were all fire-attributed elders. The rest left."

"In addition to the hidden reward of being a candidate for elder, the top ten will also be eligible to enter the ninth floor of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower to undergo a Heart Fire Origin Body Training. This is what attracts the inner courtyard students the most."

"Do you know what Heart Fire Body Forging is?"

"I don't know." Chen Xiao shook his head and smiled, letting the little dragon indulge in the feeling of being a mentor.

"Hehe, to put it simply, after undergoing this Heart Fire Origin Body Tempering, as long as you're not the kind of person so unlucky that you're hated by heaven and man, then it's like getting a pass to advance to the Dou Wang level!"

"Of course, it's just a pass. It allows them to break through to the Dou Wang level next time without encountering any bottlenecks. After undergoing the Heart Fire Body Tempering, I heard that only 20% to 30% of them can break through on the spot. Moreover, more than 90% of these people have the Fire attribute."

"I'm telling you this mainly to prepare you mentally so you don't become overwhelmed by it."

Chen Xiao chuckled and said, "You're pretty good."

"Have you ever tried this Heart Fire Body Forging?"

Zi Yan shook her head. "Not yet. The Power Ranking Competition is held every five years, and this is my first time participating. However, I've been underground with Old Man Su, and I don't like it there. Besides, the Heart Fire Body Forging Technique isn't very effective for Dou Wang and above. If Old Man Su hadn't disagreed, I wouldn't have wanted to participate in such a boring competition."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao was speechless. While others were desperately vying for a spot to undergo the Heart Fire Body Tempering, this little dragon was looking down on them.

After finishing the business, Zi Yan suddenly changed the subject.

"Are you going to Blackhorn Region tomorrow?"

"Yes, we'll set off at daybreak."

"Then take me with you!"

"No need to talk! I can't keep an eye on you now. After I break through to Dou Wang, if you're interested, I can take you to a more distant place to play."

"You said it, you can't go back on your word!"

...

The next day.

At daybreak in the east, Chen Xiao came to the Great Elder's study, neatly arranged the ancient books he had finished reading, took some that he had not read yet, and then headed straight for the Black Horn Region.

Although he had the Purple Cloud Wings which made traveling more convenient, Chen Xiao rarely used this flying fighting skill since he gradually mastered the Three Thousand Thunders.

After two days of walking and stopping along the way to practice the Three Thousand Thunders, Chen Xiao finally arrived at the destination he had chosen this time.

Maple City!

In the Black Horn Region, this city is not actually one of the largest, but its reputation is particularly loud.

Just because, the mountain is not high, but it is magical if there are immortals.

The owner of this city is the sixth-grade alchemist, Medicine King Han Feng!

Chen Xiao has no plans to provoke Han Feng for the time being, but because he covets the cold air of the sky, it can be foreseen that he will definitely come into contact with him in the near future.

Moreover, the probability of taking action is very high.

Therefore, Chen Xiao came to Fengcheng this time, hoping to gain experience while also getting to know the inside story of Fengcheng.

At the very least, he needs to know how many powerful people are surrounding Han Feng and obeying his orders. This will provide a lot of convenience for Chen Xiao's future actions.

With this purpose in mind, Chen Xiao spent the next month or so training around Fengcheng, and would enter it every time he dealt with spoils of average value.

A high-level Dou Ling is already considered upper-middle level in the Black Horn Region. If he were to move around in other cities, he would inevitably attract attention.

But in Fengcheng, Han Feng's subordinates didn't care about Chen Xiao at all.

Thanks to Han Feng's identity as an alchemist, countless powerful people come to Fengcheng every year. Even those Dou Wang and Dou Huang on the blacklist will come to ask Han Feng for help from time to time.

It was in such an environment that Chen Xiao's appearance was like a butterfly landing on the branch of withered flowers.

Insignificant.

While Chen Xiao was silently paying attention to Han Feng, the Canaan Academy's inner courtyard strong ranking competition finally kicked off.
