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

While waiting for the announcement, Zhang Chaoqiang's parents, Zhang Huolong, and Shen Qiangwei had already begun their grand celebration and cheers.

This feeling is just like it was a year ago when Zhang Chaoqiang was still in elementary school.

At that time, Zhang Chaoqiang was participating in an internal spiritual energy activation ceremony organized by the school...

They won first place in the entire history of Yuhua Martial Arts School, and that was the most exciting moment for Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei. It was also the happiest moment when they were truly proud of their son for achieving such a result.

Unexpectedly, within just one year, Zhang Chaoqiang, who was once the champion of Tianan City, transformed into the champion of the national competition.

This breakthrough in ability and level made Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei feel extremely excited, an explosive kind of excitement.

While awaiting Resher's final announcement, they were once again prepared to repeat what they had done a year ago.

Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei danced with joy, preparing to begin their celebration for Zhang Chaoqiang.

When Lei She, as the host of this Central National Synthesis Competition, announced the third place winner, people heard four big words.

The four words "Wu Yun Ma Chao" caused a sensation throughout the venue.

Although Wu Yunma Chao's performance in the first two events did not reach the level of third place, what really raised his overall score was his performance in the third event, which was the quality competition.

Wu Yun and Ma Chao's performance in the third project undoubtedly placed them second only to Zhang Chaoqiang and Gu Yizheng...

Because the height these two were at was simply too formidable, Wu Yun and Ma Chao had no choice but to lose to them.

However, he was already far ahead of the other eight finalists, so there was no reason to regret it.

Therefore, there is considerable controversy surrounding the top three positions, apart from Zhang Chaoqiang and Gu Yizheng.

However, after deliberation by the referees and staff, and considering all factors, the third place was ultimately awarded to Wu Yunma Chao.

Furthermore, this result was also evaluated by Lei She, the host of the Central National Synthesis Competition. He also believed that the name actually did not have any major flaws in the end.

After all, Wu Yun and Ma Chao, overall, deserve the third place.

In this match dominated by Zhang Chaoqiang and Gu Yizheng, he was able to produce some truly impressive plays.

After announcing Wu Yun and Ma Chao, the next step is the second place. The level of the second place is naturally higher than that of the third place.

Amidst the cheers of the audience...

Resher finally shouted it out…

Gu Yizheng is the second-place winner in this synthesis competition.

Gu Yizheng's name was gradually amplified by Lei She, resounding throughout the entire Synthesis Competition venue.

The real heavyweights are coming up next, because then the winners will be announced.

Zhang Chaoqiang is the first place winner!

Chapter 287 Phantom

Zhang Chaoqiang is number one!

When Resher announced these six words at the Synthesis Competition venue…

Everyone started to get excited.

Whether it's the spectators watching from the sidelines, viewers from all over the world, or compositors from all over the world in the online live stream.

Those who are paying attention to this synthesis competition, along with the other contestants and their families, are all involved.

They were all incredibly shocked and excited by Zhang Chaoqiang's first place, after all, he had completely crushed all the contestants except for Gu Yizheng.

He truly deserves the first place.

After seeing his name cause a stir and enthusiastic applause among the crowd, Gu Yi felt a little resentful.

After all, in the third quality-related assessment competition, he did not force Zhang Chaoqiang to show his full strength.

This may also be one of his regrets.

In addition, all the cheers and applause that should have been his were now being given to Zhang Chaoqiang.

It's impossible not to feel frustrated; Gu Yizheng harbored some resentment and was somewhat depressed.

However, there was nothing that could be done at this moment; all that could be said was that their skills were inferior.

The synthesis competition was absolutely fair and just, of course, the fairness and impartiality here refers to Gu Yizheng, not Zhang Chaoqiang.

Even in the second event, which was about efficiency, Gu Yizheng and Lei She pulled some tricks during the competition.

However, in the end, he was no longer able to pose any threat to Zhang Chaoqiang. It was then that Gu Yizheng truly realized just how terrifying Zhang Chaoqiang's strength was.

However, he would never harbor a permanent fear of Zhang Chaoqiang because of his temporary setback.

Because he was at the third stage and had broken through last night, Gu Yizheng had a great deal of confidence in his new physical strength and realm.

This level of self-confidence is something that no one else possesses.

And in this process, Zhang Chaoqiang has become the center of everyone's attention.

Furthermore, Gu Yizheng's gaze also changed, shifting from initial resentment to profound shock.

He reflected on his own condition, because even from his perspective, Zhang Chaoqiang's strength and abilities were extremely terrifying and formidable.

He was genuinely shocked by Zhang Chaoqiang; the other man's abilities were undeniable and exerted a certain degree of pressure on him.

However, he still hopes that one day he can have a real showdown with Zhang Chaoqiang, whether in martial arts or synthesis.

Neither side will hold back in any way.

Both of them gave it their all.

Focusing all efforts on synthesis means focusing on martial arts combat.

Gu Yizheng was really looking forward to when he would have such an opportunity.

However, as things stand, there's only the National Martial Arts Tournament a few months away, but there's one crucial thing!

The problem is that Zhang Chaoqiang is only 13 years old.

He could only participate in martial arts competitions for the youngest age group. Gu Yizheng, on the other hand, was already nearly twenty years old.

The age ranges for the martial arts competitions they participate in are completely different, meaning they will be in completely different groups and will not be in the same age group.

Therefore, given the current situation, even if they wanted to confront each other, there would be certain difficulties.

Gu Yizheng had no choice.

Because he has now reached the third stage, and his age is no longer sufficient for him to take on the next challenge.

This became an insurmountable obstacle for him.

It wasn't just because of him; as his teacher, Lei She also knew that Zhang Chaoqiang might become Gu Yizheng's inner demon for some time to come.

As long as Gu Yizheng doesn't defeat him, Zhang Chaoqiang's position in his heart will only rise higher and higher.

It gradually devoured his heart, creating obstacles and hindrances on his path of cultivation.

This is certainly understandable.

After all, Zhang Chaoqiang's strength has become an invisible thorn in the side of many people.

It's just that none of them had the ability or strength to face it.

In the presence of the strong, the losers don't even have the chance to be noticed by others.

Not to mention the contestants who failed under Zhang Chaoqiang's guidance.

Meanwhile, Gao Guojun and Xiao Xia, the two players who had provoked Zhang Chaoqiang, have been largely forgotten.

The contestants who competed against Zhang Chaoqiang were all deeply impressed and impressed by his abilities.

Soon, some of the rewards were distributed, including two crystal cores from the Deep Sea Shark, which was among the top 16.

Furthermore, the top 8 were officially announced to have the qualification to enter the highest-level secret realm of the Central Kingdom, the Brain Enhancement Space.

The top three winners were awarded on the spot a demon beast crystal core of the ancient bloodline level, namely the dragon crystal core.

Zhang Chaoqiang, who came in first place, was singled out by Lei She for a separate announcement.

He was declared qualified to select a treasure from the Central Kingdom's treasury.

However, this period may be quite long, because the national treasury is not officially open yet, and it may have to wait until a month later to proceed.

Because the national treasury is opened at roughly the same fixed time each year.

It will not make an exception for any individual and open the national treasury ahead of schedule.

In the process of urban planning and talent cultivation in some cities in the central government, the national treasury is usually opened in the middle of each year.

When the national treasury is opened to summarize and organize its resources, this is the time when Zhang Chaoqiang, as the first-place winner of the first Central State Synthesis Competition, has the opportunity to enter.

It's already June, and July will be here in another month.

July is precisely the time when the people of the Central Kingdom conduct spiritual power activation ceremonies.

At this time, the Central Congress will open a portion of the national treasury to assess its resources and to award prizes to outstanding students.

Under these circumstances, Zhang Chaoqiang was able to accompany some leaders of the Central State to access the national treasury and select treasures.

At that time, Zhang Chaoqiang will probably be able to obtain a truly exceptional treasure that belongs to him.

This undoubtedly made him feel somewhat excited and thrilled, but the dragon crystal core in front of him seemed to be more worthy of his attention.

At this moment, the dragon crystal core emitted a dazzling, translucent radiance.

It's as if its beauty doesn't exist in the world at all.

This was the most dazzling and beautiful of all the monster crystal cores Zhang Chaoqiang had ever seen.

Upon contact with this crystal core, the powerful aura within it was enough to freeze his entire body in place.

Moreover, this aura was sealed off by the organizers of the synthesis competition.

In other words, the current dragon crystal core is not the one in its prime. Instead, it is covered by a layer of spiritual energy shield that Lei She and others have sealed on the surface. Only when the dragon's absorption conditions are met will this spiritual energy shield be actively released because the martial artist's ability has reached the point where they can absorb this ancient bloodline-level dragon crystal core.

This action was absolutely taken with the safety of the contestants' lives in mind.

Because if someone were to casually come into contact with and absorb this dragon crystal core, not to mention the top three, even third, fourth, and fifth-tier martial artists would face life-threatening dangers and changes due to the oppressive force of the dragon crystal core for a short period of time.

This is a situation that no one wants to see.

Even while inside the spiritual energy shield, Zhang Chaoqiang could clearly feel the oppressive power emanating from this dragon crystal core.
