My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 53 Even Heaven Thinks You're Outrageous
The media frenzy continues.

In heaven and on earth,

Countless people admired Li Wei's twisted yet muscular body through the video broadcast, but as they watched, they noticed something was amiss.

"That's strange, why isn't he coming down yet?"

The monks watching via video couldn't see the problem, and even the audience members at the scene were swept up in the carnival-like atmosphere, ignoring the anomaly right in front of them.

But those truly powerful beings, such as Granny Cat, the Great Sage Stealing the Heavens Dark Web, and the gods in the heavens who were watching the match, quickly realized what was going on.

"Does he not want it to end?"

That's right,

Amidst the cheers of the crowd and the astonished gazes of the judges, Li Wei, who had already secured victory in the competition, used his tentacles to gather up all the other potions provided by the organizing committee and then inserted them into his own body.

The huge medicine shelf was instantly emptied, and hundreds of medicines were all absorbed into Li Wei's flesh and blood.

Seeing this, Zhang Yidao, who was sitting in the stands, gasped and stood up abruptly, roaring, "You brat! What are you doing?!"

From Li Wei's twisted body came a laugh as deep as an abyss.

"Hahahaha!"

"I can feel it! I'm going to succeed! I'm about to succeed!!"

As if to provide a footnote to his words,

next moment,
The corpse energy on his body suddenly surged again, and his twisted flesh became increasingly abstract in the flames, moving further and further towards an evil form!
boom! ! !
Nine levels of Qi training!

become!!

The scorching flames turned the audience's gasps into terror, and they began to retreat desperately, fearing that they would be ignited by the flames on Li Wei's body.

But then they felt a tremendous suction force coming from Li Wei in the center of the arena, which held them firmly in place!
"Damn it! What kind of spiritual energy absorption efficiency is this?"

The organizing committee staff were absolutely ecstatic!
"This kid's current size is hundreds or even thousands of times larger than that of an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator, so the acupoints he can use to absorb spiritual energy have also enlarged hundreds or even thousands of times. Moreover, with so many medicines taking effect in his body, is he going to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage right here and now?!"

Zhang Yidao's expression changed immediately upon hearing this.
In his calculations, Li Wei should have needed at least 10 more days to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, but who would have thought that this disciple was so extraordinary that he actually managed to advance by taking those weird banned drugs from bodybuilding competitions.

Judging from this situation, he might really be going to achieve Foundation Establishment ahead of schedule!
Zhang Yidao immediately rushed to the judges' table and said urgently to them, "Gentlemen, you should know the situation better than I do. Can you make an exception and give him the Foundation Establishment Certificate from the prize right away?!"

It stands to reason,

The bodybuilding competition still has two groups, Foundation and Golden Core, that haven't finished their matches, so the prizes will definitely have to wait until the competition is over before they can be distributed together.

But now it's clear that Li Wei can't wait any longer.

What Zhang Yidao was really worried about was that if that kid broke through to the next realm in full view of everyone without using the Foundation Establishment Permit to remove the Heavenly Dao cultivation restriction, then his possession of an ancient Qi Sea would be exposed!

That could lead to a huge problem!

The judges looked at each other hesitantly and said, "But there's no precedent for this."

boom!
Zhang Yidao slammed his fist on the table: "Obstructing someone's cultivation is like killing their parents! Li Wei risked mutation to participate in such a dangerous competition in order to achieve Foundation Establishment; he is truly an inspirational role model!"

"If he fails to reach the Foundation Establishment stage because of your momentary lapse in judgment, then I'll go back and hire an online army to flood your organizing committee's official website with hate mail, accusing you of deliberately suppressing human races and engaging in racial discrimination!"

Several of the judges were old friends of Zhang Yidao, and they quickly advised him, "Old Zhang, don't worry, we'll talk to the higher-ups right away!"

"Then go ahead and hit him, you bastards! If anything happens to my disciple, I won't let you get away with it!"

Zhang Yidao was really anxious.

Mi Hongzhi and Mi Qingqing followed, and without hesitation, they endorsed Li Wei, saying:

“Li Wei is an environmental consultant specially invited by our Mi family. He has made great efforts to help Xinhai City win the title of one of the top ten sanitary cities in Zhongzhou. If something happens to him here, our environmental protection team will not let it go!”

They're environmentalists, and they're quite the fighters.

So even if there are many large pharmaceutical companies backing up interspecies bodybuilding competitions, they should carefully consider the consequences of being labeled as racially discriminatory and suppressing environmentalists.

not to mention,
Those big pharmaceutical companies are also very interested in Levi's current situation!
The sponsors were both angry and amused when they received the judges' call. They immediately launched into a tirade against them: "You damned old fools, have you lost your minds? Why didn't you give him the license?"

This kid has taken so many drugs. If he levels up on the spot, he will definitely be closer to the essence of the Great Dao, allowing us to obtain more valuable data!
Even large pharmaceutical companies rarely get such valuable advanced data! We're so excited we're practically going crazy! And you guys dared to waste our time?

That's incredibly unprofessional. I'll replace you guys next time!
So the judges hurriedly went to get the license.

After hanging up the phone, the big spenders immediately told their subordinates, "Quickly, send another batch of machines from headquarters right away. Li Wei has practically fed us three or four years' worth of year-end bonuses. If we don't take them, we'll be struck by lightning!"

The entire venue went wild. Even those audience members who were initially afraid of the flames on Li Wei's body reacted and rushed forward recklessly, embracing him.

"Ahhh! There will be a major lightning tempering during the Foundation Establishment of the Thunder Body, brothers, don't miss it!!"

"Sisters, charge! We must not let these filthy men defile Brother Li's beautiful body. We must be his protective shield!"

"Brother Li, I'm here!"

Saying,

A group of bizarre female mutants started running towards his crotch; anyone who didn't know better would have thought they were protecting Li Wei.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm warning you, if you're going to stick it on, then don't try to cut it off!"

Li Wei never expected that even after his mutation, he would still be targeted. With so many cameras filming him, are you really not afraid of being banned?

To prevent oneself from accidentally contracting some strange virus,
Li Wei hurriedly wriggled his flesh and blood to protect the vital areas.

This outrageous scene immediately made those viewers who weren't there in person but could only watch via video exclaim, "Holy crap! If I had known this year's bodybuilding competition was this exciting, I would have gone to see it even if it meant going bankrupt!"

Even Granny Cat, the Great Sage Stealing Heaven, and the gods in the Nine Heavens who were watching the competition regretted not sending an avatar over.

Even gods and immortals have never seen such a scene!

"Are cultivators' practices this outrageous these days?"

They were inexplicably somewhat relieved.

Fortunately, our art style wasn't like this back then, otherwise, we might have been corrupted by these outrageous monsters long ago.

Young people really know how to have fun!

Under the watchful eyes of countless spectators,
The judges from the organizing committee delivered the Foundation Establishment permit quickly, and at the same time, Li Wei's spiritual energy had reached the perfection of the ninth level of Qi Refining, just a little short of stepping into the threshold of Foundation Establishment.

"Phew! Fortunately, I caught up!"

Zhang Yidao picked up the magnificent purple-gold scroll bearing the mark of the Heavenly Dao, quickly wrote Li Wei's name and cultivation certificate number on it, and then crushed it on the spot.

"Cultivator Li Wei respectfully informs Heaven that he requests to establish his Foundation Establishment and attain Buddhahood!"

After the scroll shattered, it spontaneously combusted without wind, turning into rising blue smoke.

Then the next moment,
A majestic and powerful, ancient and ethereal sound echoed from the heavens.

【allow! 】

Logically speaking, once the Heavenly Dao grants permission, one can begin the foundation-building process.

Strangely, along with the word "approved," a crimson thundercloud descended, within which countless crimson lightning tribulations brewed, instantly sending chills down the spines of the cultivators present.

"Heavenly tribulation?!"

Everyone is stunned!
"Wait a minute! He's already got the license, so why does this guy still need to undergo tribulation?!"

Everyone gasped as they looked at Li Wei's excessively large body and the terrifying spiritual energy brewing within it.

"Hiss! Could it be that the effects of his mutation are so strong that even the Heavenly Dao can't stand it and feels that it must be tested?"

Zhang Yidao's eyes twitched upon hearing this.

I never expected this!

This disciple is so outrageous that even the Heavenly Dao thinks he's outrageous!

If we had known this would happen, why bother with the licenses at all!
