You promised yourself to be a caged bird, but you became the supreme young master?

"Since you're planning to participate in underground boxing, are you ready?"

A clear, ethereal voice suddenly asked.

"I have done my best."

Furthermore, I have already inquired about underground boxing and found that unless you win three or more consecutive matches...

Otherwise, you wouldn't encounter an opponent with a higher level of skill than yourself.

If I still lack confidence even with this, then there's no need to continue my spiritual practice.

Lu Heng answered calmly, word by word.

He appears calm, yet exudes an undeniable confidence.

A physical body comparable to the peak of Body Refinement, a cultivation level of the sixth level of Body Refinement, and the "Basic Sword Technique" which is about to be mastered.

If he were to fail again in a small underground boxing ring in Qinghe City, then he would have nothing to say.

The underground boxing arena in Qinghe City was naturally not very large. As far as he knew, the highest-level matches were only for cultivators at the peak of Body Refinement.

He has nothing to fear as long as his opponent's combat skills do not exceed the highest level.

In a small city like Qinghe, it would be difficult to find someone whose combat skills have reached the Great Perfection level.

If it really comes to that point, they are fully qualified to challenge the Qi Refining Secret Realm. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, no one will give up easily.

It's also highly unlikely that he would be involved in underground boxing matches.

As for resorting to underhanded tactics, Lu Heng could only say that it was highly unlikely.

The upper limit for Qinghe City is no more than a Refining God True Person.

The person in charge of the underground boxing ring is at most at the peak of the Qi Refining Secret Realm, and may even be less.

His way of participating in underground boxing was through the Second Deacon, the only granddaughter of the Lu family's Qi Refining Secret Realm peak cultivator.

If Black Fist wants to stay in Qinghe City, he won't turn against them because of this.

After all, there is actually a limit to the profits one can make in underground boxing rings.

Since Lu Heng had decided to participate in underground boxing, he naturally wouldn't be completely unaware of the situation.

The rules of underground boxing are very simple.

Winning a match earns you three spirit coins, but this is only possible if you choose to stop in time.

After winning three consecutive matches, you can get ten spirit coins.

Winning five, seven, and ten consecutive matches will earn you 20, 50, and 100 spirit coins respectively.

If you complete a maximum of ten matches, you can directly receive 100 spirit coins from the underground boxing arena.

This is no small number for cultivators in the Qi Refining Secret Realm!

The more challenges you take, the higher the difficulty becomes.

Underground boxing isn't charity either.

Lu Heng heard that it had been several years since anyone had won ten consecutive matches in the underground boxing tournament in Qinghe City and taken away 50 spirit coins.

………………

"What if I were to impart to you a secret technique for refining the body?" the ethereal voice continued.

"No need."

"Thank you, senior." Lu Heng remained silent for a moment, then firmly shook his head.

At least in the Body Refining Secret Realm, he could be said to be fearless, but at the level of Qi Refining Secret Realm cultivators, even multiple secret techniques would be of no use.

At the same time, cultivating secret techniques also requires mental exertion, so Lu Heng felt that it was best to focus his mind on the "Basic Body Refining Method" for the time being.

"You know what you're doing." The ethereal voice said no more.

I don't have any particular opinion on this.

The reason why the remnant soul was repeatedly shocked was not because Lu Heng's talent was unimaginably high.

In fact, in the eyes of the remnant soul, Lu Heng's talent in alchemy and combat was only at the level of a top genius, and his talent in alchemy could even be described as that of a prodigy.

He was exceptionally talented, but compared to the prodigies that the remnant soul had encountered, he was still insignificant.

In the world of cultivators, a difference of just one level of talent is like heaven and earth!

What truly surprised the remnant soul was…

The Lu family, a small clan, or even just a branch family, has produced such a genius.

This was far beyond the expectations of the remnant soul itself.

In the era thousands of years ago, it was almost impossible for a true prodigy to be born from an ordinary person; their parents were usually high-level cultivators.

………………

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

When Lu Heng arrived at the martial arts arena, he found that the atmosphere there was different from usual, as if something had happened.

Without speculating, Lu Heng approached Lu Jinnian and directly asked him the question.

On the surface, the two only reduced their contact, but they did not completely sever ties.

It was merely to give people the illusion that the two people only knew each other but didn't have a very good relationship.

"You really do surprise people all the time."

"Don't you buy the daily newspaper?" Lu Jinnian glanced at Lu Heng helplessly and replied speechlessly.

"What is a daily newspaper?" Lu Heng was naturally familiar with the term "daily newspaper," but he still asked again.

"Daily newspapers are something that has been introduced from the Western continent in recent years. They are published daily and contain some things that the newspapers consider worth mentioning."

The daily newspaper is divided into three levels: the Great Qi Dynasty level, the five regions (east, west, south, north, and central) level, and the Qingzhou state level.

My family subscribed to one of each of the three daily newspapers.

These are the Daqi Daily, the Nanyu Daily (where Qingzhou is located), and the Qingzhou Daily (Qingzhou itself).

"The reason the atmosphere is different today is because of the major news published in the Daqi Daily," Lu Jinnian replied.

"Hurry up and tell me, you're keeping me in suspense, you're asking for a beating." Lu Heng raised his fist and scolded with a laugh.

"I said it, I said it..." Lu Jinnian cleared his throat and said.

"Actually, what happened this time has nothing to do with us."

But what happened this time was enough to be recorded in the annals of the Great Qi Dynasty.

It's very simple; the Daqi Daily published the establishment of the Universal Covenant.

The Western Regions, overseas states, and my Eastern Qi are all among them.

After that, I'm afraid even more people from other lands will flood into my Great Qi territory.

But this has nothing to do with us; it doesn't really affect us at all.

Lu Jinnian sighed.

But most of the感慨 (feelings of deep emotion) actually come from the fact that they actually witnessed such a major event.

They will soon forget about it.

"Actually, it should have some impact."

Lu Heng thought for a moment, but still didn't say it.

It just makes me realize that the world really doesn't revolve around anyone.

Without a sound, an event that would shake the Great Qi Dynasty was accomplished.

Before this, he knew absolutely nothing about Qinghe City, a remote coastal city.

"Something very important must have happened."

"Otherwise, this kind of thing wouldn't be so easy to succeed." The ethereal voice suddenly said, with a sense of solemnity in it.

It was obvious that the other party was also secretly listening in.

"That should be the case, senior," Lu Heng replied.

At the same time, I couldn't help but think to myself, "What's the use of knowing this?"

Could this matter possibly be related to him in some way? That's impossible!

But Lu Heng couldn't help but recall the panel logs after his first life leap.

The earth cheers for you, the heavens crown you.

A new generation is on the horizon.

You have been granted a destiny.

This must just be an exaggerated description, right?

There shouldn't be any connection between the two, right? Hmm, probably not.

Why think so much? Lu Heng looked at the girl who had come onto the field and walked towards her.

Since things have come to this point, let's solve the resource problem first.
