Chapter 481
: Seeing Dragon Pill
On this day, in a private room of a restaurant in Xuanyuan City, the sound of chess pieces falling on the chessboard, "pa pa" could be heard from time to time.
"Haha! Brother Long Xuan, I haven't seen you for many years. I didn't expect that you are about to reach the bottleneck of the Gu King."
"Do you plan to participate in the Western Region Genius Competition when you come to Xuanyuan City this time?"
Long Dan put down the chess piece, raised his head and looked at him seriously.
Long Xuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Forget it, those are just children's games. I don't have time to play with those little brats."
Long Xuan perfectly repeated what Emperor Xin had said to him before.
The corner of Long Dan's mouth twitched. This sentence clearly showed that he did not take all the geniuses in the Western Region seriously, including him.
Calling all the geniuses in the Western Regions "little brats" is simply too arrogant.
But this person does have the capital to be arrogant.
Upon hearing that Long Xuan did not plan to participate in the Western Region Genius Competition, Long Dan also breathed a sigh of relief.
It was good that this monster didn't participate in the competition. Facing this pervert, he had no confidence at all in being able to fight against him.
"Then when will Brother Long Xuan return? You have been away from home for so many years, it is time to go home."
Long Dan put away his smile and said with a serious expression: "To be honest, since the Long family plundered half of the Feng family's fortune, the family power has become increasingly powerful, geniuses have emerged one after another, and the number of strong people has also increased dramatically."
"In recent years, the success rate of all Long clan Gu practitioners breaking through to Gu King has increased a lot."
"The growing power of the Long family gave the Dragon Emperor ambition. He planned to lead his army into the Central Region and seize a piece of territory in the Central Region, leaving behind his achievements in expanding the territory before abdicating."
"This is a good opportunity for us. It's time to make achievements. Whether we can achieve a higher status, more wealth, or be granted the Hidden Dragon Tattoo, all depends on this battle."
Long Dan placed the chess piece down heavily, his eyes burning with ambition.
Hearing this, Long Xuan was shocked. He didn't expect that the Long family would make such a big move.
The Central Region is the center of the world. It has abundant spiritual energy and rich resources. Both the number of geniuses and strong people in the Central Region far exceeds that of the other four regions.
The Long family actually dared to set their sights on the Central Region's territory at this time.
Could it be possible that the improvement of the clan's fortunes would really allow the Long family to acquire more territory?
I didn’t think before that the clan’s fortunes would have any impact on the clan, but now it seems that the changes to the clan are simply earth-shaking.
The Longteng Empire rose to prominence due to its plundering of luck, while the Tianfeng Empire and the Huiyue Empire fell into decline due to the loss of their clan luck. The influence of clan luck was immediate.
"No! I have something important to do, so I won't go back for now. When the Long family conquers a piece of territory in the Central Region, it won't be too late for me to go back and eat the ready-made food."
Long Xuan smiled and said half-jokingly.
Since the Long family is going to start a war, it would be foolish for him to go back at this time. War is so dangerous, it is not in his character to go back at this time.
At least he has to wait until he has robbed the Imperial Tomb of Cangyue and defeated the Gu Queen before returning in glory. Then he can finally meet the beautiful lady Long Ziyan.
"That's a pity. The war in the Central Region is also soldier against soldier and king against king. Without you, Brother Long Xuan, we, the Spiritual Sea Stage Gu Cultivators, probably won't have much of an advantage in the war."
Long Dan smiled and shook his head, placing another move.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Actually, I came to you this time because I have something else to ask you. Since you are going to participate in this Western Region Genius Competition, you must have collected intelligence on your competitors, right?"
"Give me a copy of all the genius information you have collected." Long Xuan looked at him seriously.
Although he had seen many geniuses in the market town, that was definitely not all of them. He needed to know the information of all the contestants and catch all of them in one fell swoop.
The information about who is the most suitable person to play chess is clear at a glance, and it saves him the trouble of opening blind boxes everywhere.
"Aren't you planning on not participating in this competition? What do you need the information for?" Long Dan asked in surprise.
But even though he said this, he still took out a thick stack of papers from the storage ring and placed it on the table.
"This is what the Dragon Empire's intelligence department has collected. The intelligence is very complete and detailed. You can rest assured about the intelligence collected by the Dragon Empire."
Long Xuan took the thick information and quickly flipped through it. Soon, he found the portraits of the three people he saw in the market.
These three people were marked as the most dangerous people in the intelligence, and there were only about ten people of this level in the thick intelligence.
The corner of Long Xuan's mouth curled up, and he couldn't help but sigh that his vision of people was really accurate. He said that they were extraordinary, and they really were extraordinary.
Long Xuan flipped through the pages quickly and finally stopped his gaze on the portrait of one of the people.
The portrait depicts a strong and fat man, which is very eye-catching.
What concerned Long Xuan was not his peculiar appearance or his powerful fighting ability, but he suddenly saw the words "Xuanwu bloodline" on the paper, and his eyes widened.
This boy actually has the blood of Xuanwu, it is really a godsend, Long Xuan clenched his fists, his eyes released excitement. He has already cultivated the third level of "Purgatory True Demonic Art" to perfection, but the Dharma Image has not been fully cultivated.
The third level of "Purgatory True Demonic Art" can cultivate the third Dharma image, which requires the blood of a powerful divine beast as a medium.
In order to cultivate the third Dharma form, he searched for the blood of divine beasts for a long time.
However, the divine beasts are long-extinct creatures, and their blood is too rare. He searched for many years, until he reached the peak of the Spiritual Sea, but he still didn't find the blood of a divine beast.
But today, his good luck finally came. The blood essence in the body of this owner of the Xuanwu bloodline is equivalent to the blood of the Xuanwu divine beast, which is enough to be used to cultivate the Xuanwu Dharma image.
Long Xuan was so surprised that he couldn't help but clench his fists.
"It seems that I have to go to the arena. I must get this boy's blood and essence." A light flashed in Long Xuan's eyes and he made up his mind.
Of course, he didn't want to sign up for the competition. He could just say he didn't want to participate, but he didn't have time to play with those kids.
Long Xuan just planned to secretly knock this person's opponent unconscious when he went on stage to compete, and then pretend to be his opponent, go up to the ring to injure him, and take away his blood.
Now is the time to test the 72 disguise abilities. The referees and judges who maintain the order of the competition must all be renowned top Gu Kings. It is not an easy task to hide the truth from the eyes of all the Gu Kings.
Seeing that Long Xuan's gaze stayed on this person's information for too long, Long Dan said:
"This person is the number one genius in the Xuanwu Empire. He possesses the terrifying Xuanwu bloodline and possesses the abnormal defense of Xuanwu. Few geniuses of the same level can break through his defense."
"It is no exaggeration to say that among the participants in this genius competition, the number of people who can break through this turtle shell is almost zero."
"Even if he encounters an unbeatable opponent, he can easily maintain a draw with his exaggerated defensive power."
Speaking of this, Long Dan's eyes revealed an extremely solemn look, and it was obvious that he was extremely wary of this genius.
"But I think his defense is absolutely useless against you. Wu Gang's tortoise shell can defend against all geniuses, but it can't defend against you!"
Long Dan turned his gaze towards Long Xuan again, his eyes becoming even more fearful.
Compared to Long Xuan, this guy is a real pervert. No matter how hard Wu Gang's turtle shell is, it can't withstand Long Xuan's attack.
If he used that forbidden technique again, even the Gu King's defense would be difficult to resist, so how could Wu Gang resist it?
Long Dan looked at Long Xuan with a look of deep shock.
He still remembers vividly the powerful move that Long Xuan unleashed that day.
"you lose!"
Just when Long Dan was stunned, Long Xuan's move fell down and ended his big dragon.
Obviously, Long Dan, the cultivation fanatic, is not someone who plays chess often. His Go level is at most a little higher than the entry level. How could he defeat the battle-hardened Long Xuan?
Soon, one of the chess pieces on the board emitted a bright light, and a slight smile appeared on Long Xuan's lips.
……
Three days later, the genius competition that shocked the entire Western Region officially began on this day. Countless geniuses got up early and gathered in the city center.
In the very center of Xuanyuan City, there are thirty tall arenas that have just been built. On this day, all contestants who have registered for the competition will have to compete in elimination matches on these thirty arenas.
Due to the large number of talents signing up for the competition, after each round of competition, the talents will be given a long period of time to recuperate and rest, so this genius competition will last at least two months.
Xuanyuan City was extremely lively at this time, with noise everywhere. Not only did it gather famous geniuses from various regions, who were talked about by the crowd, but it also gathered a large number of Gu Kings.
Such a grand gathering of geniuses naturally attracted a large number of Gu Kings to come and watch the fun, and many forces were preparing to select geniuses in the competition. At this time, Xuanyuan City was not only a place where geniuses gathered, but also a place where Gu Kings gathered.
At this time, in an inn, an ordinary-looking teenager slammed the table heavily and cursed: "Damn it! Why am I so unlucky!"
"Why did you choose Wu Gang, this unlucky star?"
"This man is the number one genius in the Xuanwu Empire. He also possesses the Xuanwu bloodline that is rare in a thousand years. His defense is rarely broken by his peers. I am just an ordinary casual cultivator. How can I be his opponent!"
"I'm so unlucky to meet such an opponent in the first round. What's the point of fighting? I'll just admit defeat later!"
The young man had a ferocious face and kept roaring in the house.
"Alas! Isn't it just a tough opponent? Are you ready to admit defeat? This is the behavior of a coward!"
Suddenly a sigh was heard from inside the room. The boy's hair stood on end. He turned around and shouted, "Who? Who's there? Come out!"
However, as soon as he turned his head, his vision went dark, and he fell to the ground, immediately losing consciousness.
At this moment, a young man who looked exactly like him appeared behind him. Even his patched clothes were the same as his, as if they were carved from the same mold.
"Since you can't defeat this opponent, then I'll come and help you! No need to thank me, I never leave my name behind when I do good things!"
The young man raised his lips, tied up the man on the ground and stuffed him under the bed, then he pushed the door and left the inn... (End of this chapter)
