132: Chapter 132 Opening the Spiritual Aperture, Flying to the Heavens Without Permission

"Yes, it is a storage pearl containing space rules. The inside is equivalent to a small mystic realm that can store living beings. Your Azure Cloud Thunder Beast can be placed inside, and you can even bring others into it. It is a space that belongs solely to you!"

Ivan continued, his tone extremely soft.

"A rule treasure that can store living beings, the qiankun spirit pearl!"

Hearing this, Zhou Bai's face was full of interest.

If he had such a treasure, it would indeed be much more convenient.

Then, Zhou Bai looked at the contestants from other countries not far away. Everyone was staring intently at him, wanting to see his choice.

"If you do not agree, then I can only temporarily suspend the competition and discuss this matter with the higher-ups of the World Martial Arts Competition Association. After all, this World Martial Arts Competition concerns the resource distribution of the entire Ancient Mystic Realm; we cannot be careless!"

Ivan pondered for a moment and then continued.

"Fine, then I agree!"

Zhou Bai thought for a moment and directly agreed to Ivan's request.

Even if he didn't agree, Zhou Bai felt that after their discussion, they would likely ban his Azure Cloud Thunder Dragon from the field.

Instead of that, it was better to get the benefits first.

And this rule treasure that could store living beings was of incredible value and had many wonderful uses in certain situations.

"Zhou Bai, how can you agree on your own? Do you no longer want the Champion of the World Martial Arts Competition?"

At this time, Gu Yu spoke up, his gaze fixed on Zhou Bai, his face full of scrutiny.

"Shut up. Even without the Seventh-Order Dragon King Beast, our Xia Country still has the confidence to win in the Fourth Stage. Zhou Bai has already brought us a large enough advantage..."

Ye Wushang spoke, staring coldly at Gu Yu.

The Seventh-Order Dragon King Beast was indeed strong, but Ye Wushang himself was an extremely proud person with his own arrogance.

Hearing Ye Wushang's words, Gu Yu shuddered deeply and quickly lowered his head, saying no more.

"Zhou Bai, no matter what decision you make, we have no objections!"

After silencing Gu Yu, Ye Wushang looked at Zhou Bai and said in a heavy voice.

"That's right, Zhou Bai, we support you!"

Mu Qinghuang also spoke up.

"Exactly, God Bai, you have already done enough. Don't pay any mind to some people's thoughts!"

Xu Xiu also said.

Chu Lingyan and Qin Hao also nodded at Zhou Bai.

"Good, the young people of Xia Country are all very impressive!"

Ivan nodded, seeing that Zhou Bai's teammates were so reasonable.

If Zhou Bai and the others did not agree, in order to ensure the fairness of the competition system, the match could only be suspended. If other complications were to arise then, he would have to bear the corresponding responsibility.

This way was for the best.

"This is the qiankun spirit pearl, please take it!"

Having said that, Ivan took out a mysterious spirit pearl and handed it to Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai took the spirit pearl and probed it with his mental power, finding a whole new world inside with a massive space.

Many mountains, rivers, flowers, and trees had already been transplanted into the space, giving off a vibrant atmosphere.

The surrounding ability users saw the qiankun spirit pearl in Zhou Bai's hand, their faces full of envy.

Clearly, this qiankun spirit pearl was a good item, and they were very covetous of it.

However, they weren't overly jealous; after all, Zhou Bai had obtained it by sacrificing his Seventh-Order Dragon King Beast's participation.

Moreover, it wouldn't be of much help for the battles in the Fourth Stage.

"Next, everyone can rest for a day. Tomorrow, we will conduct the first round of the Fourth Stage, the Five-Nation Battle!"

After resolving Zhou Bai's issue, Ivan dismissed the group, letting the contestants go rest and prepare for tomorrow's Five-Nation Battle.

Soon, the ability users from various countries dispersed one by one, preparing to rest well for tomorrow's battle.

The Xia Country contestants relaxed quite a bit; after all, they had a bye in the first round and could wait directly for the final duel.

Zhou Bai didn't linger and returned to his room in the Xia Country palace.

In the room, Zhou Bai first took out the qiankun spirit pearl, then used his Psychic Power to penetrate it, placing his mental imprint on the qiankun spirit pearl and completely taking control of it.

"Little Dragon, go into the qiankun spirit pearl and eat the inner cores inside!"

After taking control of the qiankun spirit pearl, Zhou Bai directly put the Azure Cloud Thunder Dragon into it.

At the same time, Zhou Bai also threw a large number of fierce beast inner elixirs into the qiankun spirit pearl.

These past few days, Zhou Bai had hunted a large number of fierce beasts and had likewise obtained over 50,000 fierce beast inner elixirs.

Among them, over 40,000 were fifth-tier, and over 10,000 were sixth-tier fierce beast inner cores.

"This Ancient Mystic Realm really is a good place. With so many fierce beast inner elixirs, I don't have to worry about the resources to break through to the seventh rank!"

Looking at the large number of fierce beast inner elixirs in the qiankun spirit pearl, Zhou Bai's face was full of joy.

"Now, I'll continue to cultivate and improve my strength as much as possible!"

Zhou Bai took a deep breath and then circulated the Thunder Breathing Technique, continuously absorbing the surrounding fierce beast inner elixirs to increase his Qi and Blood Power.

At the same time, a large amount of Qi and Blood Power surged through Zhou Bai's internal organs, impacting his body to open new apertures.

The sixth rank is the process of opening spiritual apertures within the body. The more spiritual apertures one opens, the more worldly spiritual energy one can draw in.

Generally, after opening six or seven apertures, a martial artist's potential is exhausted, and they cannot open any more.

Those martial artists with top-tier talent can open more spiritual apertures—nine, or even ten.

Currently, the top-ranked Sixth-Rank Espers in the World Martial Arts Competition have generally opened more than seven apertures, and the worldly spiritual energy they draw in is terrifying.

At this moment, Zhou Bai only has one spiritual aperture in his body...

However, thanks to Zhou Bai's powerful physical foundation, even with just one spiritual aperture, the amount of worldly spiritual energy he can draw in is already very large.

After cultivating for two hours, Zhou Bai successfully opened his second spiritual aperture, after which he stopped his cultivation.

Since it was the agreed-upon study time with Zhao Shiyu and Shen Ninger, Zhou Bai lay down in the virtual reality pod.

A moment later, when Zhou Bai opened his eyes again, he was already standing inside the Imperial Palace Hall of Dragon City.

"Your Majesty, I have been waiting for you for a long time..."

Inside the Imperial Palace Hall, Zhao Shiyu said very humbly,

"Last time this little girl flew privately, I have already tied her up. Please deal with her, Your Majesty!"

Zhou Bai's eyes lit up as he looked to the other side of the hall.

He saw Shen Ninger, dressed in a pink dress and silk stockings, looking incredibly pure, already tied up securely. Her face looked pitiful, with tears welling in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, this servant dares not do it again. Please forgive me!"

Shen Ninger, tied up in front, said aggrievedly.

"Your Majesty, a little girl who flies privately like this should be taught a harsh lesson..."

Zhao Shiyu took out a leather whip from the side and handed it to Zhou Bai...

"Shiyu is right, she indeed needs a good lesson!"

Zhou Bai's eyes lit up as he slowly walked forward with the leather whip...
