Eternal Sovereign

Lu Manling lightly smiled, "This Li Zhentian should be training a secret art. Furthermore, he is a secret art that requires the sacrifice of one's life force to raise one's cultivation."

"This guy's hair is so white, and he's also able to reach the peak of a variety of mid-grade human-step martial arts. He's used up at least twenty years of his life force."

"In other words, although he appears to be in his teens, his internal organs are almost equivalent to forty years old, and he no longer has any potential."

"There's such a secret art!" Du Ru was dumbfounded.

Lu Manling smiled, "This world has many strange auxiliary skills and secret techniques. If you guys were to go out and experience them, you would naturally get used to it."

The three Patriarchs were extremely disappointed. They had thought that this was some sort of fortuitous encounter, but it turned out to be a secret technique that required the sacrifice of one's life force in order to raise one's cultivation.

Devoting more than 10 years of life force to raise his cultivation?

Even though their cultivation had yet to rise, they were already too old and unpresentable. With their various organs failing, even if their martial arts cultivation had advanced, their combat prowess would decrease instead.

Miao Boyang sneered. "And there are many such secret arts. They are divided into three to nine grades. The one this kid has is obviously a rather low grade one."

"Even after consuming more than twenty years of life force, I was only able to reach the peak of six meridians near perfection. I have not even mastered a few top human-level mid-grade martial arts."

"This kid's talent is not worth mentioning in my eyes, but it can be considered good for ordinary people. If I were to train normally, I would definitely step into the Heavenly Axis Realm within twenty years."

"But now, he hasn't even reached the great circle of the Invigorated Meridian Realm."

Lu Manling nodded in agreement.

If it was a higher level technique, it would have consumed more than 20 years of life force and allowed it to reach the Heavenly Axis Realm.

At the very least, it was only a small cycle.

It was impossible for him to be just a martial practitioner of one or six meridians.

No one knew about the conversation between the North Shadow. In the hall on the first floor, Li Zhuo Tian and Zheng Haozhou were still engaged in an intense battle. The two of them were having an intense fight.

Anyone could tell that the two of them were on the same level of strength, and neither could do anything to the other.

However, the situation changed in an instant. Li Zhutian suddenly exploded with the strength of a Seven Meridians martial artist. Taking advantage of the moment Zheng Haozhou was stunned, his right hand congealed into a claw and instantly grabbed towards Zheng Haozhou's crotch.

Zheng Haozhou let out a blood-curdling screech; Li Zhuo Tian had already fiercely grabbed Zheng Haozhou's vitals. With Li Zhuo Tian's malevolent expression, Zheng Haozhou's blood-curdling screech suddenly increased, his crotch was dripping with blood, causing everyone to be dumbstruck.

Li Zhuo Tian had actually crippled Zheng Haozhou's third leg.

Li Zhuo Tian released his hand. Zheng Haozhou's eyes widened, his face became deathly pale, and he foamed at the mouth before falling to the ground.

He had never expected that Li Zhuo Tian would suddenly erupt with strength at the great circle of the Invigorated Meridian Realm.

"How tragic …" Chen Yi couldn't help but tighten his legs. No man could withstand such an injury.

Most of the young talents on the second and third floor were men, and they all had a look of lingering fear in their hearts.

As for the women like Chen Liangliang and Du Rujiao, their faces were all red and they were embarrassed.

"Bastard!" In the second floor, an angry roar resonated throughout the entire Wuling Pavilion, and in the next moment, a figure suddenly rushed out from the second floor towards Li Zhuo Tian.

Judging from his aura, he was a cultivator at the Heavenly Axis Realm!

It was obvious that this was the Zheng Family's Heavenly Axis Realm expert who led Zheng Haozhou to the Du Residence. The Zheng Family's Heavenly Axis Realm expert personally saw Zheng Haozhou suffer such heavy injuries. His killing intent rose greatly and he attacked in anger.

A Heavenly Axis Realm expert was much more terrifying than a seven meridians master. Not everyone could contend against a Heavenly Axis Realm expert at the Great Circle of the Invigorated Meridian Realm.

Not to mention that this expert from the Zheng Clan was also at the middle stage of the Four Meridians Realm!

"Die!" The Zheng Family's Cyclic Sky Realm martial artist threw a punch at Li Zhuo Tian. With Li Zhuo Tian's current martial arts cultivation, there was no way he could block this punch.

This punch was enough to turn Li Zhentian into dust.

As for using secret techniques to increase his cultivation, Li Zhuo Tian didn't even think about it. Previously, in order to break through seven meridians, he had sacrificed close to ten years of his life force. Now, his life force was close to fifty, and his appearance was still considered young.

Even if he sacrificed another twenty years of his life force, he would only be at the early stage of the Heavenly Axis Realm. At that time, he would be like a seventy year old man, unable to unleash the full power of a cultivator at the early stage.

Since he couldn't escape no matter what, Li Zhuo Tian decided not to flee. His purpose of coming back this time had already been achieved.

He had already avenged the humiliation inflicted on him by Zheng Haozhou more than a year ago.

When he thought here, Li Zhuo Tian's face revealed a cold smile. He wanted to see how Zheng Haozhou would wantonly steal someone else's woman in the future without that thing. Would he still have the face to do that?

"Stop!" Just as Li Zhuo Tian was about to lose his life under the punch of the Zheng Family's Heavenly Axis Realm expert, Du Hai suddenly appeared and struck a palm towards the Zheng Family's Heavenly Axis Realm expert, blocking him.

The fist and palm collided. Du Hai didn't take a step back, but his opponent was sent flying.

This was the terrifying difference between the advanced stage and the middle stage of the Refinement Realm.

There was a difference of five small levels between the four meridians and the nine meridians.

"Elder Du Hai! "You …" Blood trickled down the corner of the Zheng Family's Elder's mouth, and his gaze towards Du Hai was filled with rage.

Du Hai said coldly, "This tea party is a contest between youngsters. "Sir, as a senior of the Heavenly Axis Realm, it's best if you don't interfere in the battle between youngsters."

"Elder Du Hai! You've seen for yourself just how vicious this child is! Unexpectedly … "It actually …" The Zheng Family's Zhou Tian realm cultivation base was at its end, and it was hard for them to say anything more.

Du Hai lightly said, "This elder will not care. Today's tea party is a sparring session between youngsters. Injuries are unavoidable."

"If everyone in the Heavenly Axis Realm were like you, wouldn't these youngsters be tied down?"

"The two direct disciples of the Profound Imagery Sect do not want to see such a scene."

With Du Hai personally making a move, no matter how furious the Zheng Family's Zhou Tian realm cultivators were, they could only withdraw their attacks. Otherwise, offending the Du Family would not only be bad for him, but for the Zheng Family as well.

The Zheng Family's Zhou Tian Jing glared at Li Zhuo Tian with a gaze that was filled with killing intent and directly left with Zheng Haozhou. With Zheng Haozhou's injuries, he had to immediately treat them.

"Thank you for your help, senior." Although Li Zhuo Tian had long planned to perish together with Zheng Haozhou, who wouldn't want to live?

Du Hai's expression was cold: "No need, this is my duty." But after leaving the Du Residence, your life and death has nothing to do with our Du Residence.

Clearly, the Zheng Family would not let this go easily.

Li Zhentian calmly nodded and turned around to leap onto the second floor. His goal had already been achieved, and he had no intention of sparring with anyone else.

Du Hai's figure flashed and disappeared as well.

Moments later, two more young elites jumped onto the first floor.

However, these two young talents only had a mere five meridians cultivation, and the martial arts they cultivated couldn't be considered top. Thus, their intensity was far less than Li Zhutian and Zheng Haozhou's.

Other than those young geniuses from the five or six bloodlines, the rest of the disciples could not help but feel bored.

Miao Boyang, who was standing between the north and the horizon, was even yawning. With his eyesight, he was able to tell who would be the final victor in a few moves.

Soon, the two of them decided on the victor. However, the ones who won also consumed a lot of energy and were defeated by the second pair.

One by one, the young elites went on stage, either winning or losing.

In short, they did their best to show their strength.

The performance of some young talents caused the eyes of Chen Yi and the others to light up. Even though some dark horses only had the mastery of six meridians, their actual fighting strength was at the level of Chen Liangliang and Du Rujiao.

However, in the eyes of Miao Boguang and Lu Manling, this was all they could do.

Until now, most of the young geniuses had already left the second floor, but the third floor was still unmoved.

No one went to challenge the third floor since this was the young genius of the three great families. Even if he won, it would only embarrass the three great families and offend them.

If he was noticed by the direct disciples of the Profound Imagery Sect, it would be fine for him to be able to join the sect.

What if he wasn't selected and offended the three great clans, wouldn't the gains make up for the losses?

"I am Zhang Hongyi, and I am challenging Chen Xun!" As Zhang Hongyi issued a challenge on the third floor, everyone was startled. Especially the young talents, they all revealed expressions of watching a good show.
