My equipment is designed for cultivation; I started by slaughtering my way through a small world.

Gu Qing's attack capabilities have exceeded the limits of the Qi Refining Realm, and his strength far surpasses that of ordinary Qi Refining Realm cultivators.

however.

Those who can pass the preliminary rounds of the Bloodline Competition must all have their own trump cards.

Or it could be a strong offensive capability.

Or the ability to save one's life.

Every participant is an outstanding individual selected from a billion cultivators of the same level; they are by no means ordinary cannon fodder.

Even Ren Ya, the Invincible Fist Master who was eliminated, was definitely not weak. In ordinary planes, he would be an unparalleled genius who appears only once in a thousand years.

pity……

The person he met was Gu Qing.

In the stands, everyone stared wide-eyed as they witnessed Gu Qing crush his opponent with a single move.

"Gu Qing!"

"Gu Qing!!"

The game ended too quickly.

A moment later, the countless spectators in the stands reacted, many of them blushing, veins bulging on their foreheads, and roaring loudly, their eyes filled with fanaticism.

Not only that.

In the real world, many ordinary people watching the Bloodline Competition broadcast were also watching the competition footage with shocked expressions.

Who would have thought that a match would end in a single, decisive blow in the knockout stage?

"elder brother!"

"Brother is so amazing."

Silver Moon Residential Area.

The other three members of the Gu family watched the entire match closely. When Gu Qing won, his younger brother Gu Cheng immediately clapped his hands excitedly.

"Aqing, he..."

As Wu Ming watched the competition, tears welled up in her eyes.

While feeling happy for Gu Qing, I couldn't help but worry about the dangers Gu Qing might encounter in the future.

A look of satisfaction appeared in Gu Ciyuan's eyes.

He couldn't help Gu Qing how far he could go.

However, Gu Qing's rise has already changed the fate of the Gu family.

Millions of years from now, the Gu family may become a powerful and influential clan.

"Dad, I want to become a cultivator too, and be as powerful as my brother."

In the living room, young Gu Cheng looked on with admiration.

"hehe……"

Gu Ciyuan smiled and gently ruffled Gu Cheng's hair.

Because Gu Qing became a mercenary.

Gu Cheng has a guaranteed spot in university admission; if she embarks on the path of immortality, she will definitely face fewer hardships than Gu Qing.

As for surpassing Gu Qing?

That's probably impossible. Gu Qing's talent is already that of a peerless genius, one in a billion.

If Gu Cheng is also exceptionally talented, then there might be something to say about the Gu family's inherited bloodline.

but.

Gu Ciyuan didn't point this out, but instead smiled and encouraged him, "Then you must study hard and strive to get into one of the top ten universities in the Immortal Kingdom in the future."

"Um!!"

Gu Cheng nodded earnestly.

……

In the virtual dimension of the Spirit Realm, in the luxurious palace of the Wang family, the Wang family patriarch and Sima Xiao were also watching the match.

Seeing Gu Qing defeat his opponent in one move, the two who were exchanging toasts paused slightly and put down their glasses.

The Wang family patriarch suddenly slammed his hand on the table and congratulated him with a smile, saying, "Old Xiao, congratulations! Your Immortal Wood Group's Bloodline Research Institute has developed another super-powerful bloodline."

"Gu Qing's bloodline actually broke through the shackles of the Qi Refining Realm, pushing the profound mysteries of gravity to around level fifteen."

"This bloodline technology is bound to sell like hotcakes."

"Well……"

After hearing what the Wang family patriarch said, Sima Xiao felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.

Gu Qing's bloodline technology originated from the Void True Spirit Creature, the Nine Profound Heavenly Beast.

To this day, no other experimental samples of this bloodline technology have been reproduced within the Xianmu Group.

What upset him even more was that Zhang Yubai had dragged Gu Qing into the bloodline experiment, which did not comply with the laws of the Immortal Kingdom in terms of procedure.

During the experiment, Gu Qing used her superb acting skills to feint and force Zhang Yubai to sign a new contract with Gu Qing.

The contract clearly states that Gu Qing's participation in the bloodline experiment may result in adverse side effects due to bloodline conflicts.

Xianmu Group spent 20,000 spirit coins to sever the bloodline test connection with Gu Qing.

In other words, the bloodline technology in Gu Qing's body has absolutely nothing to do with the Bloodline Research Institute.

prior to.

Gu Qing passed the preliminary round of the Bloodline Competition.

Sima Xiao spared no expense, spending 500 million spirit coins, to make Gu Qing a formal mercenary ahead of schedule.

In a sense, it was also to reclaim the bloodline technology within Gu Qing's body and put it back into the hands of the Xianmu Group.

"Lao Xiao, what's wrong?"

"Aren't you happy that Gu Qing has advanced to the second round of the knockout stage?"

the other side.

Seeing that Sima Xiao remained silent for a long time, the Wang family patriarch asked with slight suspicion.

This was unlike his old classmate's usual personality. In the past, Sima Xiao would have already started boasting and showing off in front of him.

"Happy!"

"Of course I'm happy! How could I not be happy!"

"I just didn't expect that Gu Qing would actually have some talent and be able to get this far."

Sima Xiao forced a smile, trying to save face in front of his old classmate.

In fact, his heart was bleeding, but he could only swallow his anger and suffer in silence.

"really."

"I underestimated this kid's potential before."

"It seems that Gu Qing has a good chance of breaking into the top 100 in this bloodline competition."

"At that time."

"Both of our families can obtain the bloodline technology project from the Immortal Kingdom, so we must cooperate well."

The smile on the face of the Wang family patriarch grew even wider.

Previously, when Sima Xiao approached him for cooperation, the Wang family patriarch kept dodging the question.

Upon learning that Gu Qing, trained by the Bloodline Research Institute of the Xianmu Group, might break into the top 100, the attitude of the Wang family patriarch immediately underwent a complete 180-degree change.

"hehe……"

Upon hearing this, Sima Xiao smiled slightly.

The thought that Gu Qing might advance to the top 100 of the Bloodline Competition made him feel excited.

But the thought of Gu Qing's unique mutated bloodline technology made him feel as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit.

It seems like I made a profit, but it also seems like I lost money.

……

Two more days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The Bloodline Competition has begun, vying for the top 100 spots.

At this stage, various big names in the Lingjing virtual world also appeared to watch the competition.

After all, the top 100 in the Bloodline Competition are related to the official support policies of the Immortal Kingdom project.

On the Xianmu Group side.

The other three who advanced to the knockout stage along with Gu Qing were Chen Ang, Jia Meiqian, and Mo Chen.

Jia Meiqian and Mo Chen were eliminated in the process of narrowing down from 800 to 400.

Chen Ang, however, was eliminated in the round of 400 to 200.

"Boss Gu, our entire Xianmu Group is counting on you now. We can only cheer for you from the stands."

Before the start of the competition.

The Blood Tower above the arena is still drawing lots randomly.

Jia Meiqian said to Gu Qing.

"Gu Qing, you must win."

"Winning this match will be a life-changing opportunity for you."

"The top one hundred in this plane's bloodline competition will receive a Heavenly Pride Challenge Token issued by the Immortal Kingdom. With this token, one can travel to the top ten universities in the Immortal Kingdom to participate in the Ascension Tournament held by the top ten universities."

Not far from Gu Qing, Chen Ang spoke with a solemn expression.

"The Ascension Tournament?"
