"Third Brother, speak your mind without hesitation." The eldest prince, Zhu Xuan, whose words had been interrupted, frowned slightly, a bit displeased.

"Eldest Brother, today is a grand event for the two sects' competition. How can there be no prize? Why don't we offer a prize to boost the martial spirit!" The third prince, Zhu Kun, stood up with a smiling face.

"Prize?"

"Third Brother is a bit too eager. I have already planned this matter."

After speaking, the eldest prince, Zhu Xuan, smiled slightly at the crowd. "Today, the participants in the competition are all outer sect disciples of the two sects, whose cultivation is close to or has already entered the True Essence Realm. Therefore, I plan to use a pill that can enhance cultivation as the prize for the winner of this competition."

"Of course, a pill like the Spirit Essence Pill is not something I can easily offer. I have a high-grade human-level Spirit Essence Pill, refined by a royal alchemist using the demon core of a high-grade human-level demon beast, which can replace half a year of hard cultivation for a True Essence Realm martial artist."

Wow!

The five words 'Spirit Essence Pill' instantly made the eyes of all the outer sect disciples shine brightly. Not just the outer sect disciples, even many inner sect disciples were drooling with desire.

A Spirit Essence Pill that can replace half a year of hard cultivation for a True Essence Realm martial artist, its value is almost immeasurable for True Essence Realm martial artists. The time saved is something that cannot be exchanged for anything.

Even Ye Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up, but then dimmed again.

Ye Zhen really wanted to obtain this Spirit Essence Pill, but he currently did not have the qualification to compete on the stage.

"Eldest Brother, since you have already taken out the 'Spirit Essence Pill,' as your younger brother, I cannot remain indifferent."

Clang!

The sound of a sword being drawn suddenly rang out. A gleaming sword in the third prince, Zhu Kun's hand immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

Especially the light flowing over the blade, not just the outer sect disciples, even some inner sect disciples, and even a couple of true disciples, stared with wide eyes.

"This is a low-grade treasure weapon, named Tianjing. It is made primarily from the extremely cold ice crystal iron from the far north, with thirty-four additional ice-water attribute materials, and was forged by the famous imperial alchemist Hu Luo over twenty-one days.

Holding this sword can increase the power of True Essence by more than ten percent. If used by someone practicing water attribute techniques, it can not only spray out a three-foot-long ice sword aura but also increase the power of True Essence to twenty percent!"

On the martial arts platform, the third prince, Zhu Kun, held the gleaming Tianjing sword and spoke confidently, while the eyes of the inner and outer sect disciples all went wide.

A low-grade treasure weapon!

A low-grade treasure weapon that cannot be exchanged for tens of thousands of gold, was actually used by the third prince, Zhu Kun, as a prize. Especially the inner sect disciples, each of them wished they could take its place and seize this low-grade treasure weapon.

Even Jiang Ying, a relatively junior true disciple of the Qiyun Sect, had a fiery light in her eyes. She, a true disciple, had not yet obtained a suitable low-grade treasure weapon.

Seeing this reward, the participating disciples of the Lishui Sect and the Qiyun Sect were all highly enthusiastic, rubbing their hands, and when someone shouted 'Third Prince is mighty!' nearly a thousand people followed, their voices like a tidal wave.

"Third Prince is mighty!"

"Third Prince is mighty!"

On the martial arts platform, the face of the eldest prince, Zhu Xuan, suddenly became extremely awkward. The faces of many Qiyun Sect elders, especially the sect leader Guo Qijing, also became somewhat strange.

Only the corner of Elder Lishi's eyes from the Lishui Sect flashed with a hint of satisfaction, and he gave a praising look to a Lishui Sect disciple in the crowd.

After this small interlude, the seventh elder of the Qiyun Sect began to preside over the competition between the two sects.

"This competition between the two sects aims to promote martial spirit. During the fight, you must stop at the point of contact and must not intentionally harm others!"

This statement made everyone roll their eyes. When has a competition between the two sects ever stopped at the point of contact? This is all nonsense.

"The rules of the competition are simple. The top ten disciples of the Lishui Sect and our Qiyun Sect will take turns to challenge on the platform. The final champion will be the winner. Now, the competition begins!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a disciple of the Qiyun Sect jumped onto the martial arts platform, "Jiang Ping, Qiyun Sect outer sect tenth, who dares to challenge me!"

"I will!"

Almost simultaneously, a disciple of the Lishui Sect also leaped onto the martial arts platform, and without a word, the two began to fight, their punches and kicks fierce, as if it were a life-or-death battle.

At this moment, Jin Yuanzhuo approached Ye Zhen, winking at him, "Old Ye, I'm going next, hehe, the sect has privately promised that anyone who wins a match will be rewarded with a bottle of Spirit Essence Pills!"

A惨 cry, and Jiang Ping, who had just stepped onto the platform, was kicked off by a Lishui Sect disciple. Jin Yuanzhuo, who was winking at Ye Zhen, instantly turned around and rolled onto the platform.

Seeing someone step onto the platform, the Lishui Sect disciple who had just won, his eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he leaped up, stabbing his sword at Jin Yuanzhuo, intending to catch him off guard.

Jin Yuanzhuo laughed, not dodging but advancing, his body like a meatball, colliding with the Lishui Sect disciple, his body glowing with green light as he rolled.

Bang!

The green light emitted by Jin Yuanzhuo shattered the sword light of the Lishui Sect disciple, and he took advantage of the momentum to collide with the disciple, causing him to spit blood and fall off the platform.

At this moment, Jin Yuanzhuo, with his fat body, bowed to the Lishui Sect disciple, "Jin Yuanzhuo, Qiyun Sect outer sect sixth, please instruct me!"

Turning around, Jin Yuanzhuo gave Ye Zhen a thumbs up, indicating that he had obtained a bottle of Spirit Essence Pills.

Before the words had even finished, a Lishui Sect disciple, also ranked sixth, leaped onto the platform and engaged Jin Yuanzhuo in battle.

It must be said that Jin Yuanzhuo's business in the Qiyun Sect over the past few years has been extremely successful. In the cultivation path of martial artists, wealth, companions, methods, and land are the four essentials, with wealth being the first.

The silver Jin Yuanzhuo earned over the past few years was not all used to fatten his body; it was all used for cultivation, especially in martial techniques. He was proficient in several complementary low-grade human-level martial techniques. If one technique didn't work, he would immediately switch to another, and with his peculiar physique, he managed to defeat two opponents in a row.

He directly knocked the Lishui Sect's outer sect sixth and fifth off the platform, and for a moment, Jin Yuanzhuo was in the limelight.

On the martial arts platform, the Qiyun Sect elders all stroked their beards, their faces beaming with pride, while the Lishui Sect's Elder Lishi and Chu Jun below the platform had faces as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"Hahaha, does your Lishui Sect have anyone else to step up!" Jin Yuanzhuo's face was covered in sweat.

Below the platform, the Lishui Sect's outer sect fourth was about to stand up but was held back by the one-eyed Chu Jun. With a glance, Chu Jun indicated a short, long-armed, and fierce-looking youth with a knife on his back to step up.

With a heavy step, the youth with the knife on his back leaped onto the platform.

"Liyun Chong, here to learn from you!"

Thump, thump, thump!

Liyun Chong rushed diagonally, and before anyone could react, he was within a丈 of Jin Yuanzhuo. With a swift motion, his long knife was drawn, slashing at Jin Yuanzhuo.

Swoosh!

Silently, the tip of Liyun Chong's knife suddenly shot out a three-foot-long blade aura, slicing into Jin Yuanzhuo's belly.

With a strange cry, Jin Yuanzhuo rolled off the platform.

Looking at the wound on his belly, Jin Yuanzhuo was horrified. If he had been a bit slower, he would have been gutted.

"This guy is strong!"

Below the platform, Ye Zhen, who was watching, his pupils suddenly constricted. Liyun Chong was a formidable opponent.

On the martial arts platform, the expressions of the Qiyun Sect elders all turned grim. They all had keen eyes, and as soon as Liyun Chong made his move, they knew the level of his strength.

Swoosh!

On the martial arts platform, Liyun Chong swung his blood-dripping long knife, pointing it at the Qiyun Sect outer sect disciples, "Liyun Chong, Lishui Sect outer sect second, who will challenge me!"

The blood droplets rolling off the tip of his knife added to the ferocity of his aura, shocking the Qiyun Sect disciples so much that no one immediately stepped up to challenge him.

Just as the Qiyun Sect elders were getting anxious, the Qiyun Sect's outer sect second, Li Yuncong, reacted.

"I will challenge you!"

With a roar, Li Yuncong leaped up, heading straight for the platform.

Almost as soon as Li Yuncong landed on the platform, Liyun Chong leaped up, his long knife flashing, and a dozen sword lights shot towards Li Yuncong.

More shocking than the sword lights was the aura Liyun Chong emitted in an instant. The surging True Essence directly shot out a three-foot-long, substantial blade aura from the tip of his knife!

"True Essence Second Level!"

Those with keen eyes, including the Qiyun Sect elders on the platform, instantly stood up.

True Essence Second Level, this was the strength of inner sect disciples!

The Qiyun Sect's outer sect disciples, not to mention the second, even the first, Hong Bao, was only at True Essence First Level.

Pfft!

Liyun Chong's sword light tore through the sword light Li Yuncong hastily raised to block. Not only was his sword cut in half, but Li Yuncong himself was sliced into two halves!

Wow!

Blood and internal organs instantly covered the ground. Since Li Yuncong was still in mid-air when he was killed, the blood rained down, causing some timid outer sect disciples to scream in terror.

On the martial arts platform, the Qiyun Sect's Grand Elder Lu Changchuan angrily questioned the Lishui Sect's Elder Lishi.

"Lishi, True Essence Second Level, does your Lishui Sect have any other outer sect disciples at True Essence Second Level?"

Lishi didn't even raise an eyebrow, "Grand Elder Lu, this is quite normal. Liyun Chong only broke through to True Essence First Level last year. He had some fortunate encounters recently and broke through to True Essence Second Level, just in time for this year's outer sect competition."

Grand Elder Lu Changchuan's face froze, and he angrily said, "What about stopping at the point of contact? This competition is not supposed to be a life-or-death battle, right?"

Lishi rolled his eyes at Grand Elder Lu, "Grand Elder Lu, you're being unreasonable! The disciples are excited by the rewards, and it's normal for them to lose control!"

As he spoke, Lishi helplessly shrugged his shoulders.

Grand Elder Lu Changchuan was speechless with anger. Although everyone understood the situation, there was no way to argue with such an explanation.

"Two elders, don't be angry, don't be angry. In a martial arts competition, casualties are inevitable. Let's continue, continue!" The third prince, Zhu Kun, mediated.

On the martial arts platform, the blood was flying!

"Waste!"

Liyun Chong spat at Li Yuncong's corpse. The blood on his knife slowly dripped off as he pointed it at the Qiyun Sect's top ten outer sect disciples and shouted.

"Wastes of the Qiyun Sect, who dares to challenge me!"

Instantly, Ye Zhen's eyes turned red.

Almost simultaneously, the eyes of the Qiyun Sect's inner and outer sect disciples all turned red, and they all looked at the Qiyun Sect's outer sect first, Hong Bao!
