462: The old Taoist priest who doubts life

Hearing the host's voice from outside, Yang Dian turned to look at Yang Lele:

"Fight well. I'll be cheering you on from the judges' panel."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Dian had already disappeared from in front of the two of them.

At the same time, the deafening cheers from the stands grew louder and louder, as if they were going to shatter the entire venue.

Listening to the cheers from outside, Yang Lele puffed out her cheeks, "That's easy for you to say. Why don't you help me with some major cheats?"

Hearing Yang Lele's mumble, Pei Sisi, who had finally recovered from Yang Dian's praise, began to wildly wave her arms:

"Lele ~ Lele ~ Lele ~"

"Your brother praised me!"

"Why did he praise me out of nowhere!"

"Do you think your brother is interested in me?"

"Your brother must be interested in me, right?"

"Quick, call me sister-in-law!"

"If you call me sister-in-law, I'll let you spend all my pocket money in the future."

"Ugly rejection."

Yang Lele pushed away Pei Sisi's face, which was leaning close to her head, and said with a look of disgust:

"Don't try to scheme against my brother!"

On the other side, Li Fugui, who heard the keywords, leaned over:

"Where? Where? Where?"

"Lele, I think I just heard Sisi say your brother came over? And he praised her?"

Li Fugui's loud voice attracted the attention of everyone in the preparation area.

Ever since Yang Lele summoned Yang Dian's martial arts projection in the semi-finals and destroyed the martial arts arena with one slap, everyone had been curious about the relationship between Yang Lele and Yang Dian.

So, their relationship was naturally dug up.

Thus, Yang Lele became the nation's little sister-in-law.

As for Yang Dian?

He didn't become the nation's big brother-in-law.

Knowing that Yang Dian doted on his younger sister, the netizens were a bit hesitant to joke about Yang Lele.

They were genuinely afraid that Yang Dian's slap, which could create a chasm, would send them to another world for training.

Now that they heard Li Fugui say that Yang Dian had just been to the preparation area, they immediately perked up and listened attentively.

They had never seen the living Commander of the Expeditionary Force, the strongest person on Earth.

Seeing everyone else looking at her, Yang Lele waved her hand at Li Fugui, "My brother did just come, but he's already left."

As she spoke, she pointed to the big screen in the preparation area:

"See, he's already at the judges' panel."

The little fatty showed a wronged expression:

"Lele, you promised me before that if there was a chance, you'd take me to meet your brother!"

Yang Lele:

"Uh, I was busy chatting with my brother just now and forgot."

"Definitely next time!"

... While the little fatty in the preparation area was telling Yang Lele, 'It's 'definitely', not 'definitely not'', in the stands of the arena, everyone looked at the three figures on the judges' panel, their eyes filled with excitement.

"The one in the middle is our Commander of the Expeditionary Force, right? He's really so young, I feel like he's not much older than my daughter. I heard he studies at Fuda University. Old Li, you said let my daughter apply to Fuda University, does my daughter have a chance?"

"Old Wang, don't be delusional. Your daughter? I know what your daughter looks like. Do you know how many internet celebrities, stars, and campus beauties want to get into Fuda University to 'accidentally' meet him? You should save your thoughts and tell your daughter not to daydream, but to honestly find an honest man to marry."

"Then what about your son?"

"My son isn't an honest man either, don't look for my son..."

... "Lili, have you noticed that the more I look at the Commander, the more I feel like he and I have a husband-and-wife look?"

"Just look, thinking is fine too, but don't take it seriously. If you do, you'll never find a partner in this life."

"Alas, a first encounter on the Altar of Heaven, one glance at Yang Dian and my life is ruined. I probably won't be able to look at any other men in this life."

"You didn't meet. You just watched the Commander's live sacrifice to Heaven and incidentally gained some benefits that all Huaxia people received."

"A first encounter in the territory map works too."

"You didn't meet there either. You didn't even come face to face with him."

"Nonsense! Just now, when Dianzi's gaze swept across the stands, he looked at me. Our eyes met; he had me in his eyes."

"There are at least 1.3 billion, if not 1.4 billion, people watching the finals today. He must have seen at least 300 million, if not 500 million, people with one glance. How do you know he was looking at you?"

"A woman's intuition!"

"Intuition?"

He Lili pointed to the screaming young girls and married women in the stands:

"There are 100 million people with the same intuition as you..."

... On the judges' panel, looking at the bustling, packed stands, Old Daoist Qingfeng transmitted a message to Yang Dian:

"Except for infants who are just learning to speak and haven't ignited their Spark, pretty much everyone else is here, right?"

"1.4 billion Huaxia people gathered in one place. I couldn't even imagine such a scene, but you actually made it happen."

Yang Dian tapped the table in front of him, distorted the image, and said:

"In the transcendent world, anything is possible."

"What's more, the map of mountains and rivers is not my achievement alone. It's the result of the collective efforts of 1.4 billion Huaxia people, from centenarians to young children."

As he spoke, he looked Old Daoist Qingfeng up and down, then exclaimed with admiration:

"Daoist priest, your strength seems to have improved quite quickly recently."

"This strength, it's almost approaching the Middle Stage of the Star-Patrolling Realm, isn't it?"

The Old Daoist chuckled:

"It's fast, but still not as good as yours."

As he spoke, he looked at Yang Dian with a probing gaze:

"Tell me, Daoist, how much did you gain from your trip to the Strange Star?"

Yang Dian pondered for a moment.

The Spiritual Qi on Earth had increased, the Origin had grown, and the energy contained in the heaven and earth treasures had also increased.

Now, each newly born rare treasure contained approximately 650 energy points, and as time passed, with the nourishment of Spiritual Qi, the energy contained within the rare treasure would continue to increase.

If calculated at 700 energy points per rare treasure.

His 350 million energy points harvested from the Strange Star...

"Roughly equivalent to 500,000 heaven and earth treasures, not bulk goods like earth core milk."

"How much?"

The Old Daoist's eyes almost popped out of their sockets:

"500,000?"

The number of heaven and earth treasures the Old Daoist had handled in his lifetime was limited.

He could count them on his fingers and toes.

But Yang Dian?

He just casually mentioned 500,000 heaven and earth treasures.

He wouldn't even dare to dream of obtaining 500,000 heaven and earth treasures.

Watching the Old Daoist's stunned expression, Yang Dian chuckled:

"Actually, it's more than 500,000."

"I also have about 5,000 rare treasure-equivalent Star Core Origins left, which I plan to use to cultivate new talents or as rewards."

"Besides that, I also captured a Heavenly Dao Ghost."

"That Heavenly Dao Ghost is also a rare treasure, possessing the effect of enhancing Soul strength, and its effect is much stronger than the dream butterfly tree we found on the small island in the East Sea of Wuhou Grotto-heaven back then."

As he spoke, Yang Dian reached out and took out Star Core Origin equivalent to 10 rare treasures, divided it into two portions, and handed them to Mo Yuntao, Director of the Martial Security Bureau and the Old Daoist beside him.

Star Core Origin was very mysterious, existing between matter and energy, so it could freely enter and exit the map of mountains and rivers.

"This is Star Core Origin, much easier to absorb than heaven and earth treasures."

"I plan to use it to cultivate martial arts prodigies, such as the champions, runners-up, and third-place winners of the martial arts competition, or even expand the target to the top hundred."

"As for the Heavenly Dao Ghost."

"When consuming the Heavenly Dao Ghost, one will experience illusions and live through another person's life."

"If one's Soul strength is insufficient, it's easy to lose oneself."

Mo Yuntao, Director of the Martial Security Bureau reached out and took the golden Star Core Origin, smiling:

"Oh, there's even a share for me."

"Thank you, Commander, for your cultivation ~"

Yang Dian felt awkward upon hearing this:

"Director Mo, don't joke with me, that joke isn't funny at all..."

While the few of them chatted, the host on the commentary stage spoke again:

"Before the official competition, let's invite Director Mo Yuntao of the Martial Security Bureau to give a speech..."

After a round of enthusiastic applause, Mo Yuntao, Director of the Martial Security Bureau straightened his clothes, moved, and stood on the podium, delivering the speech he had pondered countless times.
