When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

"That's... a fourth-grade pill, the Breakthrough Pill?!"

When Ma Baoguo opened the sandalwood box, a rich fragrance of cinnamon instantly filled the entire room.

From within the crowd, someone let out a piercing scream, like a stone thrown into still water, plunging the entire arena into a frenzy!

"My God! It really is the Breakthrough Pill!"

"My older cousin mentioned it at the martial arts university in the provincial capital. This thing can increase the success rate of a peak third-grade cultivator breaking through to the fourth grade by at least 30%!"

"This is a miraculous medicine that can defy fate!"

"Master Ma is so generous! He's actually willing to use such resources as a reward?"

"It's a pity there's only one. We small karami don't really deserve it."

"Stop being so sour. Who do you think will end up with this elixir?"

"Is that even a question? Anyone with a brain knows it's Long Feiyang! He's the young master of the Azure Dragon Society, and he's already halfway to the fourth rank. This pill is practically tailor-made for him!"

"Bullshit! Just because your cultivation level is slightly higher doesn't guarantee a win! Lei Kuang's Thunder Spirit Body is incredibly powerful. If it really comes down to a life-or-death battle in the arena, Long Feiyang is nothing! I support Lei Kuang!"

"Um... do you guys think Jiang Feng has a chance of getting first place?"

Just as everyone was arguing heatedly, a timid voice rang out.

The entire room fell into a deathly silence for a moment, followed by a burst of uproarious laughter.

"Jiang Feng? Brother, are you still asleep?"

"It's undeniable that he was impressive to pass the test under the pressure of Grandmaster Ma Baoguo, but that only shows that he has some ability."

"When they actually get to the ring, what will he use to fight Long Feiyang and Lei Kuang?"

"That's right! Jiang Feng's strength is probably enough to get into the top five, but it's absolutely impossible for him to get first place."

"If Long Feiyang doesn't get first place, I'll eat a huge piece of meat!"

……

Amidst the clamor of discussion, Lei Kuang stared intently at the pill, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, his expression one of intense excitement.

He must get this pill!

The Lei family was indeed considered wealthy and powerful in Linchuan City, and with the school's full support, he had no shortage of cultivation resources in the early stages.

But this is a Limit-Breaking Pill!

The Linchuan City Martial Arts Association has no authority to sell this elixir, and it is absolutely impossible to buy it on the market!

To obtain the Breakthrough Pill, one can only try their luck at large pill shops and top auction houses in the provincial capital!

That requires not only a huge amount of wealth, but also a very strong background!

Now, Grandmaster Ma Baoguo has actually brought out this divine pill as a reward.

How could this not excite him!

"Those who block my way, die!"

"I will definitely be number one!"

Lei Kuang let out a beast-like growl.

Not far from him, Long Feiyang appeared calm on the surface, but his constantly heaving chest betrayed the turbulent emotions churning within him.

"The Breakthrough Pill! Even the heavens are on the Azure Dragon Society's side!"

Long Feiyang's eyes were sinister.

Outsiders believe that the Green Dragon Society is the most prestigious gang in Linchuan City because its father, a fourth-rank master, is in charge.

But these frogs in a well have no idea that cultivation resources above the fourth rank have long been monopolized by the forces in the provincial capital!

My father was able to break through to the fourth rank thanks entirely to the support of the mining gang in the provincial capital.

That organization, which monopolized the province's mineral resources and whose power was so immense that it was despair-inducing, was like a mountain pressing down on the Qinglong Society.

Whenever the Azure Dragon Society acquires any rare and precious materials, they must obediently hand them over; they dare not keep any for themselves.

Even the Flying Fish Gang, which is backed by the Grand Canal Gang, has to obediently offer tribute when they catch high-level treasure fish.

This is why the Azure Dragon Society has been hesitant to absorb the Flying Fish Gang.

You have to consider the owner before you beat a dog.

But the Iron Blood Gang is different!

This is a tough nut to crack, as it has no connections whatsoever with the provincial capital.

The Azure Dragon Society has been secretly preparing to launch a thunderous operation against the Iron Blood Gang within three days, completely swallowing up their territory!

If he can obtain this Breakthrough Pill and successfully break through to the fourth rank, becoming a master of two sects, then the outcome of this battle to annihilate the sect will be a foregone conclusion!

"First, it can only be mine, Long Feiyang's."

Just as the entire audience was in an uproar, Xiao Xingye swallowed hard, grabbed a handful of hair, and exclaimed in shock, "Holy crap! That really is the Breakthrough Pill?!"

Then, he turned his head, lowered his voice, and looked at the young man beside him with fervent eyes: "Brother Jiang Feng, this old guy is surprisingly generous! He even took out such a valuable treasure!"

"I absolutely support you! This pill is definitely yours!"

Jiang Feng didn't speak, but narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression very solemn.

At this moment, the blood and qi in his body were already surging at the bottleneck of the third-grade peak.

He was just a hair's breadth away from breaking through to the fourth rank.

One of the most important conditions for breaking through to the fourth rank.

That is to take a top-quality Breakthrough Pill!

Jiang Feng clenched his fist, and his bones made a crisp cracking sound.

He was determined to get this pill!

Just then.

【Ding! 】

A system notification suddenly sounded in my mind.

[High-level resources detected, triggering a competition task!]

[Mission Background: After consuming the Marrow Cleansing Pill, the young emperor's potential has been reshaped, but living in a barren land lacks cultivation resources. He has been stuck at the third rank for several years before barely breaking through. Host, please demonstrate your emperor-like potential, decisively defeat all competitors of the same rank, gain the absolute approval of Grandmaster Ma Baoguo, and seize the Breakthrough Pill!]

[Task Rewards: One Grade 4 Breakthrough Pill Recipe, One Grade 4 Qi Nourishing Pill Recipe, One Grade 4 Treasure Fish Medicinal Cuisine Recipe!]

[Task duration: 15 days.]

Jiang Feng's body trembled slightly, and a sharp light flashed in his pupils.

A system task has been triggered?!

Moreover, the rewards for this mission are incredibly generous!

Two Grade 4 pill formulas and one Grade 4 recipe will be awarded directly!

His heart began to pound uncontrollably.

With these two pill formulas, he could hand them over to Bai Yuhe for research and refining.

With Bai Yuhe's talent in alchemy, once these two fourth-grade pills are mass-produced, they will no longer be small-time players, but will be able to truly establish a huge force capable of monopolizing high-end martial arts resources!

Moreover, the recipe for the Four Treasure Fish medicinal cuisine is a stroke of genius.

Give it to Gao Qiang, let him cook the high-level treasure fish he successfully bred using medicinal cuisine methods, and the selling price will definitely skyrocket!

A grand road leading to the heavens had already unfolded before his eyes.

Jiang Feng slowly raised his head, his gaze passing over the crowd to the sandalwood box in Ma Baoguo's hand, which shone with an alluring luster.

His eyes were burning with intense passion!

This Limit-Breaking Pill.

It has to be his!
