Chapter 634 – The Asura Field, the Three Absolutes Calligraphy (2/2)
Long periods of peace and the peaceful atmosphere of the Exhibition Matches of the Nine Prefectures obviously made most cultivators believe that this final competition was merely a “game” prince Si Qing arranged to win everyone over and make everyone participate.
Gu Yanying shook her head gently. She knew this was already going ahead. Si Qing had taken out a tremendous amount of resources despite the costs. He had won over the recognition of the cultivators. Both sides were happy with it. Intense battles had always been a part of the Dragon province’s tradition. Even if this was reported to the imperial court, they would only praise Si Qing’s actions. They would never berate him.
Li Qingshan raised his head and carefully read the words on the black curtain. It detailed the way the Dragon Arena worked, as well as some simple rules.
All forty-one battlefields in the Dragon Arena would be activated. By flying off in any direction, they could enter another battlefield. This was equivalent to several hundred kilometers across in all directions, which was anything but small. However, in order to avoid a few people actively avoiding battles, a few battlefields would vanish with each day. The cultivators in them would be transported to a battlefield nearby.
After losing their medal, they still had to remain inside for the ten days. They had to wait until the competition ended before they could leave. This was so that cultivators who had lost their medals had the opportunity to reobtain their medals.
Everything seemed to make perfect sense, but Li Qingshan gradually furrowed his brows. He vaguely caught the heavy scent of blood.
Si Qing must be thinking of using this opportunity to finish me off. He is sending in all of his disciples and guests. There’s no less than twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators, and they all must have prepared many powerful tricks up their sleeves so that they can give me a fatal blow!
Han Qiongzhi said, “Qingshan, you have to be careful. Commander Gu just passed orders for all White Wolf guards to continue with upholding order!”
Li Qingshan’s frown eased up, and he smiled. “Don’t worry. I’ll probably be in for a big massacre this time!”
“Qingshan, let’s discuss our plan!”
Liu Zhangqing was stern. After being baptised by war, he refused to treat any form of battle carelessly. However, even he did not believe there would be much danger in the competition this time. After all, everyone was human. Deciding victory or defeat was enough. The crux of this all was how to gather together as quickly as possible so that they could collect as many medals as possible.
After a series of discussions, the gong rang again, and the final competition formally began. Everyone entered the Dragon Arena.
Before Li Qingshan stepped into the Dragon Arena, Chu Danqing suddenly rushed over and passed a painting scroll to him.
“You’re done so quickly!” Li QIngshan said in surprise before noticing that Chu Danqing was pale and completely over-exhausted.
“I originally wanted to hand it to you after you came back. You’ll probably be in danger this time, so quickly refine it again after you enter the Dragon Arena. The Three Absolutes Calligraphy will definitely be of great use!”
During the past month, Chu Danqing spent all of his time in his room repairing the Three Absolutes Calligraphy apart from attending the matches between the schools of Painting. He used up a lot of his Jade Blood of Vermillion and Black, and his understanding of its power grew even deeper.
“Thanks! You be careful too!” Li Qingshan accepted the Three Absolutes Calligraphy and shoved all of the paintings he had obtained as spoils from the battle into Chu Danqing’s arms before stepping into the Dragon Arena.
