Chapter One Fainted

  Li Rou's delicate eyebrows furrowed, and she said with great concern: "Ah Zhan, this War Tianyuan's cultivation has reached the ninth heaven of Nirvana. With his 'War Dragon Knife Method', even if he encounters a warrior who has broken through to the second heaven, he can still fight one-on-one. If he wants to cause trouble for you, it will be difficult to deal with."

  Xiao Zhan's brow furrowed, equivalent to the attack power of a second-rate heavenly warrior, which means his attack power is three times that of his own cultivation. It's comparable to Tian Miao's combat power before activating the Xianwu suit yesterday. With Ten Swords in Unison, Xiao Zhan should be able to defeat him, but what if he has some special trick that boosts his combat power again? In that case, it would be impossible to defeat him with real skills alone.

  Currently, the total amount of star energy from 999 acupoints is close to 22,000 crystals. The true yuan in his meridians is only 1,000 crystals, but the upper limit of the true yuan capacity in his meridians is 10,000 crystals. As long as Xiao Zhan fills up the true yuan in his meridians, the total amount of true yuan and star energy in his body will reach 32,000 crystals. After a tenfold increase in combat power, his attack power will be no less than that of a warrior who has broken through to the second heaven of the Breaking Calamity Realm.

  Xiao Zhan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Rong Er. His combat power is only equivalent to Tian Miao's yesterday. As long as he doesn't have any powerful magical equipment, I'm not afraid of him. By the way, what brings you to the fourth floor?"

  Li Rou smiled and said: "I'm here looking for a recipe."

  Xiao Zhan asked in surprise: "Rou'er likes cooking?"

  Li Rou nodded and said: "My only hobby is cooking, I have no interest in fighting and killing, even the knife skills I practice are just to improve my culinary skills."

  Xiao Zhan's eyes lit up and he asked: "When can I taste Ruo Er's cooking?"

  Li Rou's face was soft and gentle, with a smile she said: "Rou'er is Ah Zhan's woman, from now on eating and drinking will be fully covered by Rou'er, Ah Zhan can taste Rou'er's culinary skills anytime and anywhere."

  Xiao Zhan was moved to smile, and he pulled Li Rou into his arms. This intimate contact only made her blush, and after lightly kissing her forehead, Xiao Zhan smiled slightly and said: "How about moving in with me?"

  Upon hearing this, Li Ruo's face turned even redder, she just nodded shyly and didn't say a word.

  Xiao Zhan smiled slightly and said: "Rou'er, take your time, I still have to go to the Temple of War God, so I won't accompany you."

  Xiao Zhan kissed her again and then smiled: "Although Rou'er likes to practice martial arts, in order to make the knife work even better, it's still good to go to the first floor and choose some suitable knife methods for yourself. After entering the Battle God Temple, all these knife methods can be practiced to perfection. This will save Rou'er a lot of time."

  Li Rou's face turned red as she said: "Will Ah Zhan be staying at the Temple of War God for a long time?"

  Xiao Zhan nodded and said: "This time we need to find the secret recipe, the hidden books in the War God Temple can far surpass the Martial Pavilion, it may take some time."

  Li Rou's face was gentle as she said, "Then let Rou'er prepare something for Ah Zhan to eat."

  "Once a day at noon is enough."

  Xiao Zhan smiled slightly and once again described the details of the War God Temple before reluctantly turning to leave. Not long after, he opened the golden gate and appeared on the platform, looking at the 999 levels of stairs in front of him, his heart moved. The spiritual energy here had condensed into a liquid state, if one were to cultivate within it, they would absolutely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort, greatly increasing their cultivation speed.

  As for searching for the secret recipe, Xiao Zhan decided to entrust this arduous task to Little Honey, whose efficiency was absolutely far superior to his. After calling out Little Honey and giving her instructions, Xiao Zhan sat alone with his legs crossed on the steps, starting his cultivation.

  "The Proud Dragon's Heart" had just started, and Xiao Zhan discovered that the liquid-like Heavenly Earth Origin Energy around him was almost pouring into his body like a reverse flow. The powerful conversion ability of Xuan Gong was fully activated, compressing and refining the Heavenly Earth Origin Energy, which continued to transform into true yuan of the same attribute. However, due to Xiao Zhan's true yuan having undergone 999 levels of compression during the 999 steps, the condensation degree of his true yuan far exceeded that of ordinary people. Therefore, he was able to burst out with ten times the attacking power, and apart from the bonus effects of Xuan Gong and the technique, the combat power increment from the quality of his true yuan also accounted for a certain proportion.

  However, the higher the quality of the true yuan, the more difficult it is to convert the heavenly yuan into true yuan, and therefore extremely time-consuming. With the "Proud Dragon Heart Technique", Xiao Zhan spent a whole five days filling up the meridians with true yuan, reaching the level of the Ninth Heaven of the Pre-Heavenly Realm. For these five days, except for going to the fourth floor of the Martial Pavilion on time to enjoy the sumptuous lunch prepared by Li Rou, Xiao Zhan was busy cultivating on the 999th step.

  Activate the ring's detection function, and all information about Xiao Zhan instantly jumps into the brain.

  His cultivation has reached the Ninth Heaven of Pre-Heaven, his spiritual power value is 5 million Fa Te, his star power value is 22,000 crystals, his true yuan value is 10,000 crystals, and his physical strength value is 22,000 crystals.

  Xiao Zhan was extremely excited to see this information, the true yuan value of the first nine heavens is equivalent to the normal person's transformation into the ninth heaven, so when his cultivation reaches the transformation into the ninth heaven, will his cultivation also be equivalent to the Nirvana ninth heaven? By analogy, what kind of situation will appear when his cultivation reaches the breakthrough of the ninth heaven?

  This result is truly what Xiao Zhan has been expecting, but reaching the Nine Heavens of Tribulation is not an easy task. Even if he possesses the Dreamspace, with ten times more cultivation time than ordinary people, it's still not something that can be achieved overnight.

  Xiao Mi was sitting alone on the ground, listlessly copying a secret manual. Seeing Xiao Zhan's arrival, she pouted and said: "Looking around, all I see are flying secret manuals, it's so boring to death."

  Xiao Zhan glanced at the pile of secret books that had grown into a small mountain and smiled slightly: "Have you found those two secret books?"

  With a flick of her small hand, two secret books flew out from the pile of secret books that had been stacked up in an instant and fell into Xiao Zhan's hands. Then she copied the secret books while saying with a bad tone: "Here! These are the secret books your master wanted, now you can take them to show off to your future father-in-law."

  For Xiao Mi's skill in dividing her mind, Xiao Zhan admired it extremely. After checking the "Destruction Magic Scripture" and "Nirvana Reincarnation Scripture" in his hand with satisfaction, he nodded his head. Looking up at Xiao Mi who was busy, he couldn't help but smile: "How many more secret books do you need to finish?"

  The little honey said dejectedly: "Master's spiritual body is preparing to condense the 'Martial Heart', 'Knife Heart', 'Gun Heart', and the previously condensed 'Single Hand Covers the Sky Heart' is going to be abandoned, merged into the 'Martial Heart'. For this, a large number of martial arts secret books are needed, such as various unarmed combat techniques like fist, leg, palm, finger, etc. need to be learned. So many secret books need to be copied, it's exhausting, exhausting!"

  Xiao Zhan put away the pile of secret books into his dream space and left alone. As for how to select and copy the secret books, he left it to Xiao Mi to worry about, there was no need for him to look for trouble himself. Next, Xiao Zhan settled down in the War God Temple, except for taking a short nap every day, the rest of his time was spent either practicing sword or chanting "Omnipotent Breaking". Soon, five days passed again, and when Xiao Mi appeared in front of him with a relieved expression, Xiao Zhan ended his cultivation. After putting all the secret books into his dream space, he returned to the Wuque Hall once again.

  At this time, it was exactly noon. When he went down to the first floor, Xiao Zhan found that there was no one in the Wu Ge at all, and there was no longer the bustle of a few days ago. In confusion, he saw Li Rou walking over with a food box, smiling before speaking, her footsteps quickly coming to his side. Taking the food box, Xiao Zhan asked in confusion: "Has something happened to the War Valley? Why can't I see even one person's shadow in this Wu Ge?"

  Li Rou nodded and said, "This time, it's rare for the young generation of the five major worlds of the War Clan to gather in the War Valley. Of course, we need to decide who is the number one person of this generation. From yesterday on, a grand martial arts competition has been held in the training arena, divided into three age groups. First, we will determine the top ten men and women, and then enter the final competition for the first place."

  Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan's eyes lit up, as he had never encountered a martial arts competition in his life before. He naturally wanted to go take a look. However, thinking of Tian Miao, he hesitated and asked with some concern: "Is that little girl Tian Miao still guarding the small building?"

  Li Rou smiled and said, "That's right, when Ruo'er just left, she was practicing martial arts with Zhan Ying in the courtyard of the building. She didn't even bother to participate in this martial arts competition. As long as Ah Zhan goes back, he will definitely be able to meet her. It seems that she won't let Ah Zhan off until she beats him up."

  Xiao Zhan said gloomily, "This girl is really persistent, it's been ten days and she's still waiting in the small building, waiting for me to return and fall into her trap."

  Li Rou chuckled and said, "That's not all, yesterday the War Sky Domain spread the word that they want to have a showdown with Ah Wu at the Martial Arts Conference. If Ah Wu doesn't go, he'll be looked down upon."

  Xiao Zhan sneered inwardly, his current cultivation was comparable to the second heaven of Nirvana Realm, with a tenfold increase in combat power that was equivalent to a warrior who had broken through the second heaven. The strength of Zhantian Domain was on par with his, but as long as he unleashed his Ten Swords Simultaneously, it would be absolutely impossible for him to take it lying down. Previously, because his "Xiao Alliance" had taken in all ten great beauties, he had become a public enemy among the men of the war clan, and now was the perfect opportunity to establish his dominance and make people remember him.

  Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan wrapped his arm around Li Rou's waist and smiled confidently: "Who's afraid of who? When the time comes, I'll make him know that not just anyone can provoke me. Let's go, accompany me to dinner."
