AST 1220 – Heaven Secrets Academy’s and Divine Might Dynasty’s Exchange Competition

It was fine even if it was a gamble . If it were to succeed, it would have too much of an effect on her . It was a pity that there was only enough for one refining process and she could only hold back . If there was at least a 30% success rate, she would dare to attempt it . It was too much of a pity that the success rate was less than 10% . Even if she had the Golden Snake Grass, the success rate would be less than 20% . It was only slightly higher . The Eldest Princess couldn’t see any hope in this . This was why she had waited until now .

30% wasn’t considered little . Each person could only take ten at most and the time required between each intake was very long . However, Qing Shui was able to take ten of them within a very short time frame .

Of course, other people might have some other things which could replace time and thus shorten the interval between each pill . Although in principle it would require a very long period of time, in reality, the time required would be shorter .

Qing Shui hoped that he would be able to get ten of the pills since he felt that ten Violet Golden Bloodline Pellets would have a very big impact on him . However, he wasn’t used to taking away so many for himself . He had already given the Eldest Princess a Violet Golden Bloodline Pearl . If it came down to it, he could just use another Violet Golden Bloodline Pearl to exchange for ten of her Violet Golden Bloodline Pellets .

In the remaining time, Qing Shui focused on his training . He hoped that he would be able to bring the Seal of Roc to the large success stage or to the great perfection stage as soon as possible . Only then would he have the chance of learning the legendary Dragon Phoenix Duo Form .

The Roc Form was already so powerful, let alone the Dragon Phoenix Duo Form . However, he was still cultivating the Seal of Roc and the Divine Nebula Formation currently in a down-to-earth way .

Of course, he would also cultivate the other techniques such as the Tiger Form . Qing Shui wasn’t only able to perform the Seal of Roc . He was also able to bring out an impression of a ferocious tiger . Because of his powerful abilities, the white tiger impression he brought out was even more powerful . In the past, he could only bring out a huge tiger’s paw .

For the Crane Form, he could also perform the Thousand Crane Slash . This would bring out one hundred huge cranes to kill the enemy . It was a pity that he couldn’t do the same for his other forms . Qing Shui’s achievements were also because he had sufficient time for his training . If it was someone else, they would have to choose to specialize in one particular form .

Specializing in one form to win over the world!

He hadn’t succeeded in the Eight-Eight Divine Nebula Formation yet . This last star was very stubborn, causing Qing Shui to feel stumped as well . However, the only thing he could do was to work hard to practice it time after time, controlling it patiently .

…

The next day, Qing Shui went straight to the Breezing Wind Veranda to look for the Eldest Princess to hand her the Violet Golden Bloodline Pellets . He even gave her a drop of Spiritual Liquid . “These are your Violet Golden Bloodline Pellets, and this is Spiritual Liquid which has been refined from 10,000 year spiritual limestone . I can only give you a single drop . ”

Qing Shui explained the effects of the Violet Golden Bloodline Pellets to her .

“I’ll give you ten . I need ten, and I’ll let the two of them have five each . What do you think? It’ll take them 50 years before they’d be able to digest all five pellets . ” The Eldest Princess smiled and said .

“Alright, Then you can give them these two drops . It would probably bring them great advantages . ” Qing Shui handed the two porcelain bottles to the Eldest Princess .

Qing Shui had always been one who was willing to pay back goodwill a thousand or even ten thousand times over . He had always returned goodwill in kind . If people were to show him kindness, he would be willing to return the favor in several folds .

It was because Qing Shui was unique and thus he didn’t really care much for ordinary talented disciples . As long as he was given time, he would be able to defeat those geniuses . With the ten Violet Golden Bloodline Pellets, Qing Shui took one right on the spot .

He closed his eyes and shut himself off from the outside world . He sensed that a ball of violet colored liquid had appeared in his Dantian . When the Violet Golden Bloodline passed by, it just went through it . Qing Shui then saw that the violet colored liquid slowly disappearing while the Violet Golden Bloodline became slightly thicker . The change was so minor that it was hard to tell . However, only Qing Shui knew that he had gotten stronger once again .

A person could take one pellet every ten years, but Qing Shui would only need slightly over a month to take another one . It would take him about a year to finish taking all ten Violet Golden Bloodline Pellets .

It might be because there was already Violet Golden Blood in his body that there weren’t many changes this time around . He only saw that there was a layer of faint violet glow on his body which disappeared very quickly .

Qing Shui left the Breezing Wind Veranda!

One year . In one year’s time, Qing Shui hoped that he would be able to gain some breakthroughs in his Seal of Roc and the Divine Nebula Formation . Afterwards, he also hoped to refine that power in his body within this year .

One year!

Qing Shui was deep into thought as he walked . He wanted to find Di Chen as soon as possible . Every time he was alone, he would feel very upset . It was an indescribable feeling . Even if it was for Di Chen’s sake, he must quickly refine that power that was in his body .

It was because they couldn’t delay it anymore . He was afraid that if the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant were to attain a breakthrough once again, he might not be able to refine it then…

…

“Qing Shui, this way . I heard that Divine Might Dynasty’s royalty had come to our Heaven Secrets Academy for a challenge . ” When Yan Jinyu saw Qing Shui walking over, he smiled and said .

Two months had passed and during this time, Qing Shui had continued to cultivate . His body, which had been modified by the Spiritual Liquid, now grew stronger at a faster rate . Two months ago, Qing Shui’s physical strength was at forty two nimbus, but it was already at forty seven nimbus now . Even the two ladies and the girl had progressed and grew stronger at a faster rate . Their abilities were no longer of the same standing as before .

The increase in the Eldest Princess’ abilities should be even more but Qing Shui couldn’t tell . Another thing was that he had heard was that a large area around the Breezing Wind Veranda already belonged to the Eldest Princess . This meant that her status in the Heaven Secrets Academy had increased by a lot, lot more .

“Divine Might Dynasty’s royalty are here for a challenge?” Qing Shui walked over, feeling puzzled .

Qing Shui had basically not gone out for the past few days and had instead invested all his time into his cultivation . Therefore, he was not aware of many things that had happened in the Heaven Secrets Academy .

“Divine Might Dynasty, Tyrant Dynasty, and Heaven Secrets Academy are all at the grade four level . Therefore, there are often sparring events at varying levels . This time around, the people who came are the younger members . This is a form of interaction as well . Qing Shui, winning a round can get you a very high contribution level and those with exemplary performance may be taken as a direct disciple by some of the Elders . ” The Seventh Princess smiled and explained .

If it was in the past, Qing Shui wouldn’t want to be taken in as a direct disciple . Even now, Qing Shui didn’t wish for it either . He felt that there was nothing that they could teach him . Qing Shui was aware that his attitude was not commendable . It was a scary thing for people to be too proud, unable to listen to other’s opinions .

Qing Shui also knew that Heaven Secrets Academy’s Elders were very powerful and the Eldest Princess was going to join the ranks of the Elder Association soon . Once she did, she would become the youngest Elder in the Heaven Secrets Academy .

This also reflected how powerful the Elders in the Heaven Secrets Academy were . However, if it was just so that he could be taken in as a direct disciple by an Elder, Qing Shui was actually not very willing . Right now, he would only need to refine that power and attain a breakthrough in the Divine Nebula Formation to be able to become more powerful at a tremendous rate .

“Come, let’s go over and take a look!” Yan Jinyu suggested .

Qing Shui lifted his head and saw that Tian Jiange was there as well, thus he walked over . He thought it would be good to take a look to see how the top performers amongst the younger generation in the Western Oxhe Continent were like .

“Brother!”

When Tian Jiange saw Qing Shui, he walked over happily .

After meeting in the Huge Desolated City previously, they hadn’t met each other since . They didn’t intentionally try to get closer to each other . It could be due to the fact that this was how their personality was . But this was good as well . They did not feel distant when they met again .

“Brother, are you going to take part this time around?” Qing Shui smiled and asked .

“It’s likely that I will . At least, I’ll be able to accumulate some contribution . If I’m lucky and an Elder was to think well of me, it’ll be good . I can skip the process of becoming a core disciple . ”

Everyone had their own aspirations and Qing Shui didn’t find this surprising . If he didn’t have the ancient legacy, if he didn’t have all the things he had now, he would probably have a very large gap when compared to Tian Jiange .

“I wonder how many members of the Divine Might Dynasty’s royalty had come this time around . ” Qing Shui looked around and saw that there were over ten arenas and people were gathered around each of them .

“There should be about thousand people taking part, and over ten thousand people coming to support . ” Tian Jiange said as he pointed to those people from the Divine Might Dynasty .

Such exchange competitions were very casual and free . There would be a referee for each arena . A person would first step up and then someone else would challenge them . The former could choose to accept or reject the challenge .

Regardless, each person would only have a single chance to fail . If they were to lose, they wouldn’t be able to enter the arena again . The person on the arena could reject the opponent’s challenge, but after rejecting it, the former would need to step down . Once he did, he could still continue to challenge other people until he lost a battle .

Late in the morning, an old man announced the start of the competition in the biggest arena . He also briefly went through the rules of the competition and instructed that one mustn’t intentionally kill . However, accidental injuries leading to deaths were considered normal . One could admit defeat . Once the participant admitted defeat, the victor was not allowed to continue attacking .

At the start, the people from the Heaven Secrets Academy would head up and then the members of Divine Might Dynasty’s royalty would step up to challenge them . As long as one had sufficient endurance and abilities, he could continue to remain in the arena .

However, the possibility of this happening wasn’t very high . What made Qing Shui surprised was that Tian Jiange was the first to step up the biggest arena near them . Before he did, he greeted Qing Shui . Standing in the arena, he cupped his hands to the surroundings and then stood there .

There was also a member of the Heaven Secrets Academy on each of the other arenas as well .

Although this was an exchange competition amongst the younger generation, the people from both Heaven Secrets Academy and Divine Might Dynasty’s royalty seemed to place it in very high regard . It was obvious that there were many people with distinguished statuses present . After all, the younger generation was their hope for the future .

Anyone amongst the younger generation could participate, even those who were a hundred or two hundred years old . Tian Jiange was a hundred years old last year and had now exceeded the hundred year old mark .

Qing Shui saw the Eldest Princess, however, she was seated in a high position very far away . Qing Shui also saw an old granny next to her with white hair but a youthful face . The granny’s eyes exuded amiability and intelligence, but she didn’t give off an overwhelming aura .

“That should be her Master!”

When Qing Shui looked over, the Eldest Princess also looked in his direction . The old granny also looked over, appearing to be very calm .

Ding!

A metallic sound rang out and Qing Shui turned to look back toward the arena . A man in battle armor was battling against Tian Jiange .

Compared to the time when they were in Yan City, Tian Jiange had gotten a lot stronger . His opponent had the lower hand from the very start but Tian Jiange didn’t deal any vicious attacks .

After about the time for half an incense to burn, the other party took the initiative to admit his defeat . Tian Jiange thanked him for the spar .
