The power of thunder raged through his meridians, each impact feeling like scraping his bones with a steel knife.
His consciousness sank in a sea of pain, nearly fainting.
Not far from him, the detached golden holy dragon larva appeared much more relaxed.
It opened its small mouth and began to devour the various rare herbs laid out on the ground, the light on its dragon body growing brighter as it absorbed the medicinal properties.
Too hasty.
Yu Xiaoheng understood perfectly.
He paid a heavy price to reach level 20 before the Four Elements Academy Exchange Tournament began.
During the day, he would engage in life-or-death battles in the Soul Arena to hone his combat skills.
In the evening, I need to work on tactics and teamwork with the Thunder team members.
In his spare time, he also had to spend time with Rou'er and cultivate their "feelings".
With all the messy things piling up, the time left for pure cultivation was compressed to the extreme.
He could only barely make up for his physical deficiencies by relying on the rare and precious materials that the sect sent him at any cost.
He even used a rest method that had been proven to be a fallacy by countless people in his previous life—the Da Vinci sleep method.
Every few hours, I would take a short nap of ten minutes to regain my alertness and continue my meditation practice.
This is not rest at all; it's just using mental energy to deceive the body and recklessly overdrawing future potential.
But Yu Xiaoheng didn't care.
rich!
Young Master Lan Dian has plenty of resources!
If your potential is overdrawn, you can always make up for it.
At this moment, the breakthrough of soul power has reached its most critical stage.
Just one step away from the goal!
However, the soul power within his body was running out of steam and showed signs of dissipating.
The lightning power transmitted by the elders had reached the limit that his physical body could withstand.
Failure?
Do not!
A glint flashed in Yu Xiaoheng's eyes, and his will suddenly solidified.
He suddenly grabbed a bright red herb, resembling dragon's blood, from his soul tool, and without even looking at it, stuffed it directly into his mouth!
A burst of violent energy exploded within his body!
The meridians felt like they were about to burst, and the internal organs felt like they had been thrown into a furnace.
But he didn't care.
The effects of the fourth level of body refinement were evident at this moment; this amount of energy damage was not enough to cause permanent harm!
He didn't want to lose!
In this secluded chamber where he was all alone, Yu Xiaoheng had no need to deceive himself.
He knew very well that even if he made contact with the sisters from Tianshui Academy, the outcome of the exchange competition would not be crucial.
But he just didn't want to lose!
A vampire named DIO once said that the purpose of life is to pursue peace of mind.
Before awakening his martial soul, he feared that he would awaken a pig-like martial soul and become a laughing stock.
After awakening his martial soul, he feared that a powerful figure like Qian Xunji would attack him without reason and easily crush everything he had!
Only power!
Only the power to be invincible among those of the same level, and invincible even among those of higher levels!
Only by winning everything and firmly grasping all of one's destiny in one's own hands can one feel at ease!
"Break for me!!!"
Almost simultaneously, the golden holy dragon larva that had finished consuming the last herb also let out a clear dragon roar, transforming into a pure golden energy that surged into Yu Xiaoheng's body!
The two forces merged, like a monstrous wave, instantly shattering the solid bottleneck!
boom--
A surge of soul power far exceeding level nineteen suddenly spread out from within the stone gate!
However, this strong will did not produce any exaggerated special effects.
It's just the level 20 threshold.
Everything returned to calm in an instant.
Outside the door, the elders looked at each other, then their faces lit up with ecstasy.
"It's done!"
"It actually...worked!"
Liu Erlong almost jumped up.
Rou'er covered her mouth.
He really did it!
squeak-
The stone gate slowly opened.
Yu Xiaoheng walked out with a pale face and a slightly unsteady gait, looking as if he had just been pulled out of the water. His breath was weak, and he was clearly exhausted.
But he succeeded.
"Xiao Heng!" Liu Erlong was the first to rush forward and support his arm.
Rou'er followed closely behind, circling around him and marveling at his feats.
"My God... Xiao Heng, are you even human?"
A storm was brewing in her heart.
Xiao Heng's talent is probably among the best in the world!
No, it even surpasses the top!
Rou'er's mind raced.
No.
Even if it weren't for the novelties they enjoy every day, we still have to find a way to bring Xiao Wu and the others over!
Why not... persuade Daming and Erming to also transform into human form and follow Xiaoheng together!
With Xiao Heng's character and his relentless work ethic, even if we don't get to become gods through his luck, he might become a god himself and lend us a hand!
Rou'er thought about it more and more and felt it was feasible, and she was secretly pleased with herself.
My extraordinary wisdom is indeed growing stronger!
Such a great idea, I've come up with it.
……
at the same time.
Thunder Academy, Martial Arts Arena.
The atmosphere was tense and ready to fight.
The Thunder team members were huddled together, their faces grim as they confronted another group.
The visitors belonged to two different parties.
One team, dressed in fiery red uniforms, exuded arrogance. The leader was a man and a woman; the man was burly, and the woman was beautiful, but both had a rebellious air about them.
It was the Blazing Academy team.
On the other side were the members of the Kamikaze Academy. They did not step forward, but simply stood by with their arms crossed, watching coldly from the sidelines.
Chapter 74, First Match of the Exchange Tournament: Blazing Fire vs. Thunder
I said, "Is there no one left at Thunder Academy?"
Huo Yan, the leader of the Blazing Fire Academy, sneered.
Huo Ning, his sister, who was standing next to him, also spoke up to mock him.
"They lost so badly last time, getting completely dominated by Tianshui Academy from start to finish. How dare they even take the lead in organizing this Four Elements Exchange Tournament?"
"What, are you planning to get thrashed again so you can learn your lesson?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a few suppressed chuckles came from the direction of Shenfeng Academy.
The Thunder team members glared angrily, their fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
However, unexpectedly, they did not immediately retaliate.
Team leader Lei Hao merely glanced at Huo Yan and his sister with an expression as if they were idiots, then ignored them completely.
I know it perfectly well.
Tianshui College is strong; just because we couldn't beat them last year doesn't mean we can't beat them this year.
As for you, Blazing Fire and Divine Wind?
Oh.
Once our captain makes his move, you'll know what despair truly means.
Unlike Tianshui Academy, whose overwhelming strength meant they didn't bother to care about the current situation of their defeated opponents, the Blazing Fire, Divine Wind, and Thunder teams were evenly matched, making each competition the most intense and heated.
That's precisely why they dislike each other the most.
