125: Chapter 125 The list of extraordinary individuals from Xia Kingdom is finalized; the Ocean Conference is about to begin.

His Life Level is only at level 45, yet his Body Control has already reached Inner Scene Perfection. How freakish is that?

Even Wang Jinhua back then was only at this level.

With this level of Body Control, his cultivation of the Thunder Fire Blade secret manual definitely won't be lacking either; there's a high probability he has also mastered the fifth tier.

With the two combined, wouldn't his combat power boost reach 84 times?

This has practically locked in first place for the Legendary Group.

The rest depends on whether there are any exceptionally monstrous Transcendent geniuses "borrowed" by the Small Island Nation and America from the New Moon Group and the Future Group.

Among the several Transcendents, He Kui was the most astonished, and a hint of relief couldn't help but flash in his eyes as he looked at Fang Zhuo.

It was the right choice to decisively cut ties instead of trying to protect He Yian back then. Otherwise, there was no guaranteeing he wouldn't be dragged down in the future.

"Since none of you have any objections, Fang Zhuo's spot is set. There are still two spots left for the Legendary Group. Do you want to fight for them, or should I decide?"

After Fang Zhuo made his move, Master Qin's somewhat anxious heart eased up quite a bit.

For this Ocean Gathering, there was now a more than seventy percent certainty of taking first place in the Legendary Group!

Counting the guaranteed first place in the Peak Group, after the Ocean Gathering, the Xia Nation would likely secure more than half of the slots for the Thunder Fire Small World!

Looking at the several Transcendent Martial Artists from the Xia Nation's two major martial arts cities, he suddenly felt they were somewhat underwhelming.

"Let's fight!"

The several Transcendents all burned with battle intent.

They stepped back to distance themselves from one another, none of them willing to back down.

I might not be able to beat Fang Zhuo, but can't I beat you...?

Held once every ten years, the Ocean Gathering was the largest martial arts grand event on the Blue Star. As Transcendent Martial Artists of the Xia Nation, who wouldn't want to represent their country?

Even if they couldn't compete for first place, just standing on that stage would make their years of hard body-tempering cultivation worthwhile!

"Alright, make it quick then," Master Qin instructed calmly. He then turned with a smile and walked toward Manager Jiang Zhou.

Fang Zhuo also stepped down from the center and walked toward Bai Shiwei.

Bai Shiwei playfully stuck out her tongue—a rare sight—and mouthed, "Hubby, you're awesome."

Fang Zhuo smiled. He hadn't originally planned on fully revealing his Life Level so soon, but since these Transcendent geniuses from Yanjing and Magic City in the Xia Nation were all unconvinced, he simply went all out to suppress everyone with his fists.

Otherwise, a prolonged struggle would have been unavoidable, needlessly wasting time and energy.

There were six Transcendent Martial Artists taking the stage. Four of them were from Yanjing, and the remaining two were from Magic City. All of them were the Xia Nation's most outstanding level 45 Transcendents.

They drew lots to fight in pairs first to determine three winners, who then fought in a round-robin to decide the strongest two.

Bai Shiwei held Fang Zhuo's hand, watching with great interest and asking questions from time to time.

Fang Zhuo also patiently guided her.

Battles between Transcendent Martial Artists like this were indeed rare to see on normal days.

Wang Jinhua was bored out of his mind during this time and walked over to chat with Fang Zhuo, but seeing Bai Shiwei's look that clearly labeled him a third wheel, he tactfully walked away.

In the end, He Kui and Chen Lingguang secured the remaining two spots for the Legendary Group.

"Then the roster is set. Fang Zhuo, He Kui, and Chen Lingguang will represent our Xia Nation's Transcendents in the Ocean Gathering. I hope you can defeat your strong enemies and return victorious in the Legendary Group!"

Master Qin smoothed out the creases in his jacket, his expression solemn.

"Yes!"

The three of them responded in unison, and Fang Zhuo also felt inexplicably excited.

Master Qin looked at his tactical wristband and added, "After the New Year, on March 7th, we will depart on time from Yanhai!"

"Everyone else may leave. Fang Zhuo and Wang Jinhua, stay behind."

Hearing this, Manager Jiang Zhou gave Fang Zhuo a look.

Fang Zhuo understood immediately. This was the "appearance fee" negotiation part that Manager Jiang had mentioned last time. Manager Jiang Zhou's look was telling him not to be too greedy.

He nodded to Manager Jiang Zhou, then turned to give Bai Shiwei a reassuring look.

One after another, everyone left the martial arts training room.

"Master Shouchong."

Wang Jinhua and Fang Zhuo stood side by side, speaking in unison with feigned confusion, "Is there something else?"

Master Qin didn't mind and smiled. "This Ocean Gathering is of utmost importance. The Small Island Nation and America have both invited non-native Transcendent Martial Artists, which is utterly shameless. In one month, everything will depend on you!"

"The two of you are our Xia Nation's Transcendents, but you do not hold positions in any official organization; instead, you belong to the Starry Sky Group. Therefore, in asking you to fight, I won't have you do it for nothing."

"Whatever you want, just speak up."

Just speak up?

Fang Zhuo was surprised. This Master Shouchong truly lived up to being a peak Flying Sky stage martial artist—he was incredibly generous!

He was far more generous than Chairman Xiao...!

Thinking of Master Qin's status and strength, he felt that maybe there really was some red jellyfish fluid?

"Master Shouchong, I would like some red jellyfish fluid. I don't ask for much, just a gram or two would do," Fang Zhuo said, his tone weakening at the end.

He noticed Master Qin's expression stiffen slightly.

Beside him, Wang Jinhua also coughed and nudged him with his eyes.

"Master Shouchong, he's a country bumpkin. He only joined our group a few months ago and doesn't know how precious red jellyfish fluid is. Please don't take it to heart."

Wang Jinhua helped explain.

"It's fine, the ignorant are fearless... With Fang Zhuo's mindset, no wonder his cultivation has been aided by heaven, becoming a Transcendent Martial Artist in just a few short months."

Master Qin's expression softened a bit.

He looked at Fang Zhuo and rephrased, "red jellyfish fluid is a treasure that even Cosmic Martial Artists regard as extremely precious. You can choose something else—either a Transcendent-level treasure, or a common Flying Sky-level one."

Flying Sky-level?

Hearing this, Fang Zhuo's mind raced. What was the most valuable treasure at the Flying Sky level?

Seeing Fang Zhuo's posture, Master Qin added a restriction, saying, "You can choose from this list."

"Master Shouchong, I'll just take 50,000 civilization points."

Fang Zhuo, however, frowned slightly as he looked.

In the list provided by Master Qin, there were many familiar treasures, such as stone milk crystals and millennium dark cloud vines... and listed at the very end was 50,000 civilization points.

To other Transcendent Martial Artists, these would be considered highly valuable.

But Fang Zhuo was wealthy and influential now. He currently had a portion of "diluted red jellyfish fluid" given to him by the Cosmic Martial Artist, Director Xiao Yuan.

Through Bai Shiwei's hands, it had turned into eight portions.

He had already begun to look down on treasures of this level.

Especially the stone milk crystals; before departing this time, the group's mining dividends had given him another 9 pieces, and before the Ocean Gathering, another batch of about 10 pieces was expected to be delivered.

These were also his planned reliance to break through to level 49 after the Legendary Group battles ended. Nineteen stone milk crystals, through Bai Shiwei's hands, would become 152 pieces!

He also had 700,000 civilization points on him, which, combined with his Martial Aspect talent, would definitely be enough to reach level 49.

"Master Shouchong, I'll also take 50,000 civilization points."

Fang Zhuo quickly made his decision.

50,000 civilization points was not a small amount; it was even more generous than the group, as Manager Jiang Zhou had only given him 30,000 civilization points.

"Alright."

Master Qin immediately transferred the civilization points to Wang Jinhua and Fang Zhuo, then waved his hand. "Aunt Wan, come here for a moment to help take their measurements. We must have combat suits custom-made for our two participating Transcendents before we depart for the Ocean Gathering!"
