Lord Sovereign

Executing martial arts while practicing Qi methods was basically a way of going against the heavens. Individuals with a high level of cultivation might take the risks, but someone like Fei Hong who only had one level of cultivation, the lowest of them all, the Embryonic Realm, dared not to do this. Defiance against the heavens was actually not much different from looking for death.

At this moment in time, Fei Hong was already on the verge of collapse. He then sighed in frustration and anger. He knew he should have asked his master to help him in carrying out this practises, but instead he had to learn all by himself. If he died like this, wouldn't he have died too wrongly?!

He, just, couldn't control the true zhen Qi in his body at all. And as that zhen Qi moved fiercely against the blood veins, his life essence was rapidly being consumed at a speed that was even visible to the naked eye.

In order to stay awake, Fei Hong had bit his lips, and the piercing pain once again stimulated his body's potential. At this point in time, the yellow light suddenly appeared in his dantian. It followed the infuriating true zhen Qi in a lively circle, tracing the part of its movement. The yellow light discovered that Fei Hong was already at the end of the combustion, then it paused and flashed instantly. Arriving in front of the true zhen Qi, the blue light flashed brightly again, and it consumed the true zhen Qi.

Immediately, Fei Hong fell from the couch, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fainted...

The yellow light made a buzzing sound, circling around Fei Hong's upper chakras, and then let out the traces of the captured true energy. This time, under the guidance of the yellow light, the true energy circulated dozens of times in his meridians, and then slowly returned to the dantian, before it disappeared.

One day later, deep into the middle of the night, Fei Hong slowly woke up. Dizzy, he crawled onto the couch with some effort. At first, he observed the black iron armor in the lower furnace. Seeing nothing unusual, he then relaxed and observed his own body.

Actually, Fei Hong didn't know that through this way of training, he had cultivated his spiritual consciousness without knowing it. This would have a great impact on his later life...

When he opened his eyes again, Fei Hong's face was full of joy. Although he almost died this time around, he had improved his cultivation base to the second level of the Embryonic Realm.

He didn't know how many times he would have died if it hadn't been taken care of by the yellow light.

Fei Hong went out to get something to eat, and then returned to the mixing room again. He practiced a round of dragon palms from start to finish. Feeling a little uncomfortable, he gritted his teeth as the technique violently improved his body functions.

In addition to the original dragon palms, he could improve the life-essence in his human body. The whole upper body was as strong as a cow, yet, he practiced again. When practicing the dragon palms, the dragons became alive, and one could still hear the sound of breaking through the air!

A few days later, in the morning, Fei Hong was dressed in a strong yellow outfit, with long hair tied behind him, revealing that angular face. He stood patiently and eager, outside the iron fingers door, waiting for the master to leave.

With a "creak", the door was pushed open, and Master Hao stood coldly at the door. He was originally at the second stage of the Imperial Realm, but after a month of retreat, he had reached the third stage of the Imperial Realm. He was now knocking on the the door on the last stage of the Realm. There was not enough time for him, so he had to come out first.

"Master!" Although Fei Hong had never liked the master forger, he was still his master after all. Seeing him come out, he hurriedly bowed in respect.

"Yes!" Master Hao's eyes flashed a binge of blue light, and the corner of his mouth grinned. This kid turned out to have advanced his cultivation base to the second layer of the Embryonic Realm?! With his aptitude, he had advanced his cultivation in half a year! How could this be possible?!

However, after thinking about it, Master Hao became happy. When Fei Hong reached the second stage of the Embryonic Realm, he could consider killing him. Then, he would be able to use his body as a human vessel for refining!

"Not bad!" Iron Finger couldn't help laughing. "As expected of my Iron Finger disciple, you've done well. You must know that Old Master Cao Wang's girl, Mo Yu, has been on the first realm of the Embryonic Realm for three years before advancing. But here you are one now, on the second level. It's not easy for new disciples to achieve such a cultivation level within half a year. I am proud of you as a teacher!"

"The disciples are fortunate to be taught by the masters. That's why, this disciple thanked his master now!" Although Fei Hong was not too smart, he was also by no means a fool. He knew he had to be a little flattering at this time.

"Well, good!" Master Hao laughed, his black hair trembling. "Let's go to the competition."

This five-year competition was arranged in the innermost training field of the Sacred Blade sect. The training field was very large. It was divided into five small fields, and surrounded by some stone platforms similar to the stands.

Right now, there was already a sea of ​​people at this place. After all, this competition was very important to every Sacred disciple. Good grade disciples could be kept or even promoted, while ones with bad grades could be transferred outside of the sect. No one wanted this.

As a new disciple, Fei Hong was of course arranged at the new disciple's side of the competition. Master Hao went to the middle training field, where the cultivation base was on the elder level. The training ground in the middle was to remove new disciples and disciples whose cultivation bases were below the first level of the Imperial Realm.

Fei Hong couldn't help feeling a little nervous. After all, he was just an eighteen-year-old kid standing on the side of the training field, constantly touching the mysterious iron breastplate hidden in front of his chest.

As soon as the hour came, the elder Cao Wang stood on a high platform and addressed the crowd. He concluded saying, "disciples should work hard. The Angong mountain is our common home, and the Sacred Blade is our common virtue."

Soon after, he announced the official start of the competition.
