Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Vitality Abounds, All Things Compete to Thrive

A flash of white light disappeared, and Ye Qingzhou was transported out of the Five Punishment Thunder Prison, yet he remained inside the Return Dragon Tower, not being sent back to the entrance.

Just as Ye Qingzhou was puzzled, a brilliant golden Divine Dragon suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Although the Golden Dragon was merely an illusion, its powerful aura was still soul-capturing, exuding a terrifying spiritual pressure.

“Mortal, you have done well to pass the test I set.”

“This is your reward.”

A voice transmitted through divine thought, and suddenly a piece of information was imprinted in Ye Qingzhou’s mind, it was an incredible Muscle Strengthening Technique called “Refining True Gold in Fire.”

Practicing this cultivation technique allows muscle cells to absorb Divine Gold, transforming into golden-red Dragon Sinews, thus forming the Golden Dragon Battle Body, possessing a physique comparable to that of the True Dragon Clan.

Benefitting from this, Ye Qingzhou curiously asked, “Who are you?”

The illusory Golden Dragon rose arrogantly into the air, its majestic voice coming from the Nine Heavens afar: “My name is Kang Jinlong, the Master of Lingyun Grotto Heaven.”

“I don’t believe pies will just fall from the sky. What is it you plan for me to do with these benefits?”

“Enter Lingyun Grotto Heaven, and you will know.”

After speaking, the illusory Golden Dragon disappeared completely, as if it had never appeared.

And Ye Qingzhou was transported out as well; when he opened his eyes again, he was already standing at the entrance.

“Ye Qingzhou!”

Xu Yinquan and Xu Lan hurriedly approached: “How are you, you’re not hurt, are you?”

“I’m great, better than ever.”

Ye Qingzhou felt the surging power within his body, as well as the well-condensed Divine Spirit and seemingly endless Inner Breath; he gained so much from this trip.

The Return Dragon Tower is simply a treasure trove of feng shui; he is so enamored with it that he would love to stay there for half a year, refusing to leave.

“Hahaha, great, you really did a fantastic job this time!”

Xu Yinquan found Ye Qingzhou more and more pleasing to the eye and then impatiently asked the question he cared about the most: “At the final level, did your Thunderous Force reach the realm of mastery?”

In fact, Ye Qingzhou’s Wind Force and Yin Skill had already reached mastery a long time ago, but these two trump cards, he kept to himself and would not casually reveal them.

Seeing Xu Yinquan ask, he nodded: “Yes, thanks to the Primordial Qi Thunder from the Five Punishment Thunder Prison, my Thunderous Force reached the realm of mastery, comprehending the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, and the Divine Technique, Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Techniques.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yinquan’s face immediately lit up with ecstatic joy: “Good, good, good, you truly are a naturally gifted genius, never thought you would become the second Martial Artist after Zhangg Xinwu to comprehend the Thunderous Force to the realm of mastery.”

Ye Qingzhou’s performance exceeded Xu Yinquan’s expectations entirely.

If it was said that the Linjiang Xu Clan would never have opposed the Star City Gu Clan just for a martial arts newbie before,

Then now, for the sake of the peerless genius Ye Qingzhou has become, Xu Yinquan disregarded Gu Guangqi and even the entire Gu Family.

As long as they hold onto Ye Qingzhou, the future of the Xu Family is bound to be immeasurable!

Xu Yinquan and Xu Lan escorted Ye Qingzhou back to the Golden Dragon Manor, then seriously instructed him: “From now on, Xu Lan and I will protect you without leaving your side.”

Ye Qingzhou was puzzled: “Wasn’t it said that the Xu Family would not fall out with the Star City Gu Clan directly because of me?”

Xu Yinquan looked somewhat embarrassed but still expressed his attitude firmly to Ye Qingzhou: “That was before; now is now. I just hope that when you succeed in the future, you won’t forget the Xu Family’s contributions today.”

“Alright, I will remember this kindness.”

A drop of water should be reciprocated with a gushing spring, Ye Qingzhou certainly couldn’t do this.

But since the Xu Family helped him today, if he can lend a hand in the future, he surely won’t be stingy with a little help.

The assessment ended, Ye Qingzhou topped the list with a score of 30, almost twice the score of the second place, so formidable it was despair-inducing.

Ranking second was Zhu Jinfeng, who got 9 points in the first two levels, with a total score of 16, ranking second.

Then came Gu Junchen with 15 points and Huang Dengfeng with 14 points.

Next were Zhang Shousi and Miao Yi with 13 points each, and as for Xu Yuebing, her foundation was not sufficient, and she only scored 11 in this assessment.

However, fortunately, 11 points were enough to squeeze into the top twenty, successfully getting a spot.

Landing more tragically were Lu Yifan, Yuh Shouping, and Hou Fei. Apart from their primary focus, their other shortcomings were very apparent, scoring below 8, losing their qualification to enter Lingyun Grotto Heaven and becoming part of the many runners in this assessment.

In the end, Linjiang First High School alone took up five spots, showing its dominance.

Especially Ye Qingzhou, merely the display of his Sixth Perfection Realm was enough to extinguish any desire for challenge among other martial arts newcomers.

If you are just slightly stronger than others, they will still challenge you to temper themselves.

But once you have overwhelming strength, even the most stubborn people will not seek abuse.

At this time, Ye Qingzhou has already become the Great Demon King in the eyes of other elite school newcomers, becoming an insurmountable fearsome existence.

In the evening, at mealtime.

The martial arts rookies sat together; Huang Dengfeng pulled Miao Yi, Gu Junchen, and Zhang Shousi to the same table, speaking gloomily: “Sigh, my dad gave me the name Dengfeng hoping I would reach great heights in life. But this time, there’s a mountain in front of me that I really can’t climb.”

Gu Junchen and Zhang Shousi didn’t speak, but their feelings were the same as Huang Dengfeng’s.

Miao Yi felt almost the same, and couldn’t help but complain: “You guys only saw Ye Qingzhou’s power, I was truly crushed by him, at the time almost questioning life.”

“By the way, where is Ye Qingzhou? Why didn’t he come to eat?”

“I heard he had some gains and is in seclusion.”

Miao Yi’s answer brought silent responses from the other three.

Finally, Huang Dengfeng gritted his teeth and cursed: “Damn, he’s already so strong and still works so hard, does he even allow others to live?”

Having said this, Huang Dengfeng started shoveling food into his mouth: “No way, I have to finish eating quickly and start hard cultivation.”

The other three also silently sped up their eating, obviously, this matter gave them great pressure.

Meanwhile, Ye Qingzhou was in his room, holding a piece of Divine Gold, attempting to cultivate Muscle Strengthening Technique, “Refining True Gold in Fire.”

Buzz~

The Sword Qi of the Divine Weapon Longyuan burst forth with grandeur, its Sword Intent shaking the heavens and earth.

Clang, clang, clang…

Nine streams of Sword Qi continuously struck the Divine Gold in Ye Qingzhou’s hand, producing a sound like the ringing of a great bell.

And after the ’bell’ tolled nine times, the Radiant Gold surface of the metal suddenly transformed into a dazzling azure-golden color, as if it had come to life, vibrant and bustling with activity.
