Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

There seemed to be some scenes that were not suitable for children, because Tan Yue's top was lifted up a bit due to her sleeping posture.

His belly button was exposed.

A drafty environment is bad for your health and can easily lead to catching a cold.

Shen Qiangwei often nags about this because Zhang Huolong doesn't like to cover himself with a blanket, so Shen Qiangwei often just covers one corner of the blanket with Zhang Huolong's belly button.

So that he won't get cold at night, nor will he get too hot.

Indeed, it seems a bit too warm under the increased light from the radiant branches.

After turning on the air conditioner, Zhang Chaoqiang hesitated for a long time, but finally took the liberty of entering Tan Yue's room and covering her belly button.

To prevent her from catching a cold.

Although martial artists have far superior physical abilities and conditions compared to ordinary people, Zhang Chaoqiang didn't know why, but he just subconsciously wanted to do this.

The next day, early in the morning, I heard Zhang Huolong, Shen Qiangwei and Lao Chen's surprised voices. The two were telling Lao Chen about how it got light and then dark again last night.

So, after Old Chen explained it to them, they realized it was the effect of the newly appeared ornament in their home, the radiant tree branch…

The two, who had never seen such a rare item before, were instantly energized and began to verify it repeatedly.

Just like Zhang Chaoqiang, who saw this kind of thing for the first time in the Investigation Bureau last night.

The distance between them and the branches of the light-emitting tree kept decreasing and increasing...

After being baptized overnight, Zhang Chaoqiang's spirit and internal organs both improved by 0.02, which was quite good. In particular, his body also improved by 0.02 under the continuous exposure at night.

It really is as effective as the legend says.

After having breakfast with Lao Chen and Zhang Chaoqiang's parents, the two of them rushed to the competition venue.

At this point, there were already quite a few spectators who had never seen them before, gathered in the area surrounding the synthetic arena.

As soon as Zhang Chaoqiang stepped into the venue, before the competition on the second day had even started, the outgoing Gu Yizheng found him.

He then introduced him, saying, "On the second day of the competition, some prominent families, martial arts experts, and high-level synthesizers from Zhongzhou City will come to watch the competition."

Therefore, starting from the second day means that the contestants need to bring their skills to the extreme in order to showcase themselves in front of these big shots.

Whether you want to join a particular family or clan, or seek various cultivation resources, only outstanding achievements and strength can earn you these opportunities!

"At the same time, the final prizes for this year's synthesis competition will be officially announced today!"

"The final reward?" Zhang Chaoqiang and the others asked.

"That's right, as the first synthesis competition in Zhongzhou City, the rewards will certainly be substantial!"

"Don't you even know?"

Tan Yue asked.

After all, Gu Yizheng is backed by the Zhongzhou Science and Technology Museum, which is practically half of the organizer. If even he didn't know, then the central government has kept this matter quite well hidden...

"Look at what you're saying! I'm just Director Lei She's disciple. Don't treat me like the heir to the entire Science and Technology Museum and Research Institute!"

Gu Yizheng scratched his head, causing Tan Yue and Zhang Chaoqiang to exchange a smile.

"Come on, let me introduce you!"

Fortunately, through Gu Yizheng's introduction, Zhang Chaoqiang was able to take the opportunity to get to know these powerful figures from the Central Kingdom.

Wu family, Lan family, Lei family...

Gu Yizheng led Zhang Chaoqiang's gaze to several large audience areas, where the people riding on them were all dressed in martial robes that represented their status, making them look quite imposing.

According to the other party's introduction, these are all well-known martial arts masters from Zhongzhou Kingdom.

Their ancestors all had martial artists at the tenth level.

Even the current elders of the Zhen clan are at the ninth level.

These large families have taken in many members from other families.

In reality, most martial arts families today are not entirely of the same bloodline or surname.

Inclusiveness allows people from outside the family to join and be cultivated into family members, enabling them to truly integrate into the family, enjoy its resources, and assume its obligations, just like employees joining a company.

It's just that family ties have added some emotional bonds and a filter of sentimentality.

Not only that.

The audience included not only these large families, but also various institutions of higher learning, namely martial arts universities.

Some martial arts universities have already developed specialized courses similar to synthesis, so that even if a martial artist cannot enter the university through the traditional means based on their rank, strength, or spiritual level or advanced assessment, they can still gain admission.

This could also give them an opportunity through their synthetic abilities.

As long as one possesses outstanding synthesis skills and a high level of aptitude as a synthesizer, it is possible to enter a martial arts university through this specialized pathway.

In response, Gu Yizheng added, "Unfortunately, some prestigious martial arts universities are still basically operating under the original examination rules. They cannot make exceptions for students based on abilities other than martial arts."

Only the real college entrance examination can lead to success.

The current university admissions offices are mostly for universities ranked in the upper-middle range in central China, but they lack the truly top-tier institutions!

Furthermore, the admissions offices of these above-average universities are basically targeting students who are not from very good universities but have outstanding academic abilities, and the admissions offices are willing to give them this opportunity.

Give them a chance to have more resources!

Simply put, it's about undermining someone else's foundation.

Gu Yizheng shook his head. Although the Central State Martial Arts University where he was studying was not among the top 3 in the Central Country, it was still ranked in the top ten.

Not to mention the top ten, not even one of the top twenty universities in the country came to recruit students.

After all, the ability to synthesize crystal nuclei is something that top universities have no shortage of talent in.

After getting a basic understanding of the audience composition, it was already 9:00 AM. The number of composite spaces in the arena had decreased from 122 at the beginning yesterday to 31 at the present.

The round of 31 to 16 was this morning's competition.

After a short time, Resher, the host, finally appeared on stage!

"Ladies and gentlemen, fellow contestants, we'll probably have to slightly change the rules of today's competition to increase the intensity!"

what?

This statement immediately drew many curious glances.

What is strength?

But before revealing the answer, Resher kept everyone in suspense.

"We'll discuss the rule changes later. What we need to reveal to the contestants now is the final reward for this synthesis competition!"

When the words "final reward" appeared, many people in the audience were in an uproar. After all, the forces behind them were all influential and had received some information about it.

This refers to the brain-enhancing space, a high-level secret realm of the Central Kingdom.

As for the rest, we don't know.

Reischer spread his hands, and a holographic projection appeared on the field!

"The top sixteen participants in this synthesis competition will receive two rare bloodline-level demon beast cores: the sixth-tier Deep Sea Shark Crystal Core!"

The top eight will gain entry to the Central Kingdom's advanced secret realm, the Brain Enhancement Space. Whether you reap any rewards there depends on your own destiny!

The uproar continued unabated…

"The top five will receive an ancient bloodline-level demon beast and a dragon crystal core!"

A dragon? An ancient bloodline level?

Chapter 234 Turning a Level-Crossing Dungeon into a Newbie Village

If it were an ancient bloodline level demon beast crystal core, that would be one thing, but it is actually a dragon, a hybrid descendant of a true dragon.

Many people at the scene suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded…

After all, let alone a true dragon, even a flood dragon can be considered a king-level existence in the entire monster beast region.

The simultaneous appearance of the terms "ancient bloodline levels" and "dragon" is bound to bring about bloodshed and chaos...

The places they used to inhabit were all in the center. Now, the world situation where monsters and humans are divided into two factions is no longer enough for humans to easily obtain the crystal core of a monster like a dragon!

Therefore, the dragon crystal cores used as rewards for the top five contestants in this synthesis competition must be treasures taken from the Central National Treasury!

It is the foundation of the Central Kingdom over thousands of years, and definitely not a new crystal core from the last ten years or so.

However, almost everyone present was aware of the dragon's formidable power.

Whether it's the rumors and stories among martial artists or the teachings of Dun Dun in the encyclopedia of monsters, they all describe the dragon race!

The so-called Jiaolong is the offspring of a true dragon and a snake. To put it simply, the Jiaolong is a hybrid.

Its bloodline is impure.

Even so, it is still possible to achieve the third bloodline level in the secular world: the ancient one!

True dragons, on the other hand, are bloodline-level demonic beasts within the category of divine beasts.

Zhang Chaoqiang was able to conclude from this that the true dragon was definitely not a strange beast, but an ordinary monster.

Because true dragons can reproduce, while mythical beasts cannot.

As a descendant of the true dragon, the dragon's essence and physical strength are unmatched by ordinary demonic beasts. Furthermore, the dragon's core contains more than just its spiritual power...

There is also a drop of blood from the dragon's heart!

This drop of heart's blood is extremely beneficial to a martial artist's body, powerfully enhancing their physical strength and spiritual power in various dimensions!

This single drop of the dragon's heart's blood—the only drop of heart's blood found on the entire dragon's body—demonstrates that the dragon's crystal core is priceless...

They are not distinguished by rank or grade, and ordinary people cannot access them. Only the prosperous Central National Treasury has included them!

This level of reward is even more exciting compared to the previous brain-related growth potential!

Because the potential for brain enhancement depends on an individual's fortune and luck, while the Flood Dragon Crystal Core is a genuine ancient bloodline level!

Even if one's own aptitude and strength are insufficient to withstand the drop of heart's blood contained within the crystal core, one can still try to store the heart's blood within the body and wait until one grows strong enough to withstand its power before absorbing it.

Not to mention, absorbing the spiritual power of the dragon's crystal core could potentially lead to the development of martial arts techniques!

If one can successfully absorb the derived martial arts technique, given the dragon's bloodline level and its rare strength, the resulting martial arts technique will be extremely powerful!
