112: opponent

"Host, please note: The Five Elements Breathing Earth can be absorbed by the yu wood, and the growth of the yu wood will be fed back to the entire Heavenly Dao Space!" The Heavenly Dao Eye suddenly displayed this prompt.

"This... all of it for the yu wood to absorb?" Long Yuan was stunned, feeling a bit reluctant. To have the Five Elements Breathing Earth, which he had just acquired, completely spent, no one could remain calm.

"The Host can keep a small portion for use in the spiritual fields within the Cultivation small space!"

"Alright, at least I'll have some tangible gains!" Long Yuan felt an emotional urge to cry.

He quickly transferred a portion of the Five Elements Breathing Earth to the Cultivation small space for storage, to be used after the spiritual fields were cultivated. The remaining large portion, with a thought, merged into the soil beneath the yu wood!

Seeing the sky gradually brighten, he performed Shadow Step, instantly crossing countless garbage mountains like a phantom, heading towards Fengyang No. 1 High School...

When he arrived at the selection camp, he found it was already a bustling scene. The Elite Class students were all cultivating diligently as if injected with stimulants. Some were lifting heavy objects to practice strength, some were wielding swords and spears to practice Martial Skills, and others were sparring in the arena, honing their practical combat techniques...

"Long Yuan!!! Over here!!!" Someone waved and shouted to him.

Long Yuan saw it was Qin Gui, so he nodded and walked towards him. Qin Gui excitedly greeted him, "Long Yuan, how have you considered what I mentioned last time?"

"You mean..." Long Yuan was momentarily stunned, not quite understanding.

"It's about signing with our Qin Family's Fengqing Company!" Qin Gui reminded him.

"Ah, this... I'm currently busy with Cultivation and have no mind for singing or performing. Besides, I really don't want to be a star!" Long Yuan refused.

Qin Gui's expression froze, but Long Yuan's reaction was within his expectations, so he quickly whispered again, "Long Yuan, we need to Cultivate, but it's still a bit early to truly stand out from the selection camp and participate in the Inter-school Competition. At that time, those representing the school will definitely be from the Advanced Elite Class. We're just here for show. My father said that with your musical Dao talent, there's no need to engage in all this fighting. You just need to sing and play the guitar to gain a large number of fans. Money will surely come rolling in, and you'll easily live a luxurious life like a star! How about it? I'm really optimistic about you!"

"Hey, stop trying to coax me. Don't I know my own capabilities?" Long Yuan firmly refused.

"What are you two talking about? Aren't you going to Cultivate?!" A voice interrupted their whispers.

The two looked and saw it was Yun Yi, so they quickly separated and went to Cultivate...

"Long Yuan, you and I go to the training room!" Yun Yi said.

"Yes!"

The two came to a private training room. Yun Yi handed him a stack of documents and said, "These are some of the competitor's information our school has gathered. You can take a look first."

"Competitors? From other schools?"

"That's right, mainly some strong individuals from Qianlong Middle School and Fengming Middle School. In Fengyang, our main rivals are these two schools." Yun Yi nodded.

Long Yuan took the thick stack of documents and quickly browsed through them. He originally thought there wasn't much to see, but upon closer inspection, he found some interesting points!

Both of these middle schools' warrior lineups actually had a Super Genius!

The so-called Super Genius didn't mean that their Cultivation had reached the Martial Artist stage, which was difficult for their age group, but rather because these two individuals had great potential. This potential was that they both possessed rare Bloodline Power!

Among them, Qianlong Middle School's Super Genius was named Luo Sheng, with B-grade Aptitude and the Earth Bear Bloodline! Fengming Middle School's Super Genius was named Valley Fei Yu, also with B-grade Aptitude and the Flying Jade Spider Bloodline!

Both of them had participated in the previous competition, each scoring three points and achieving great military exploits for their schools!

"Possessing Bloodline Power?! According to the Great Bright's situation, what makes them different from ordinary students is that they must have already Cultivated Advanced Cultivation Techniques before their Awakening at 16. No wonder their combat power can overpower the Geniuses of Fengyang No. 1 High School. Moreover, they not only have Bloodline Power but also B-grade Aptitude. Such Aptitude is top-tier even in Fengyang No. 1 High School, as A-grade and above talents are all taken away early by higher academies. So, Fengyang No. 1 High School's loss is not unjust..." Long Yuan pondered.

What opened his eyes even more was that Valley Fei Yu of Fengming Middle School actually possessed the Flying Jade Spider Bloodline. It would be fine for a girl to have any other Bloodline Power, but she just had to have a spider's Bloodline Power. Is that really fun?

Imagining a girl suddenly transforming into a spider-like appearance, even if the spider looked cute, Long Yuan still shivered at the thought...

"No way, I might actually have to face her!" Long Yuan secretly exclaimed.

In his opinion, this possibility was very high. After all, on Fengyang No. 1 High School's side, he was probably the only one who could fight her. Valley Fei Yu's Cultivation last year was Martial Apprentice Late Stage. After a year of Cultivation, she had probably already become a Martial Artist. Given the current situation of Fengyang No. 1 High School, it was impossible for anyone else to defeat her.

"This Luo Sheng is relatively normal. Transforming into an Earth Bear would probably be cute, right? He should be a strength-type, which would be good for my Zhen Yue Sacred Elephant Fist to get some action... But for Valley Fei Yu, it would be better to keep a distance when fighting her..."

Long Yuan wasn't worried about how strong these two could be. No matter how strong they were, they couldn't surpass him, right? After all, he had now entered the Martial Master (Mid-stage) at light speed, and his Cultivation Realm far exceeded his peers. Coupled with multiple Divine-grade Cultivation Techniques, even if they had many tricks, they couldn't pose a threat to him. So, his focus was on how to defeat them without revealing his true strength. He knew that Yun Yi, who was in front of him, was also eyeing him covetously!

"Hmm, no rush. I'll decide the extent to which I'll limit my Cultivation on the field... Martial Apprentice Mid-stage or Late Stage? As for the Martial Skill to use, it's best to use School Exercise Fist. At most, I'll add sword techniques. It seems I need to quickly learn the second form of Heavenly Dao Nine Swords!" Long Yuan thought.

Because if he wanted to fight someone without his secrets being discovered, he had to suppress his Cultivation and use existing Martial Skills. The best Martial Skill was of course the Great Ming School Exercise Fist, but this was only a fist technique. If the opponent was a Bloodline Warrior, it would be best to have a weapon. He preferred sword techniques. He had previously learned the first form of the Heavenly Dao Nine Swords (Martial Dao version), and already understood various other sword techniques. The second form was "Breaking Sword". This sword technique was based on the first form, but it was used to counter and break them. Learning this move would allow him to be confident, anticipate the enemy's moves, and adapt to changes when the opponent wielded a sword, thereby perfectly subduing the opponent!
