C1171 Four great families (1/2)
The Ling Family, the Fan family, the Hong Family, and the Cao Family were all part of a continent. They had managed this continent as if it were a kingdom.
The dragon gallbladder stone s were a type of strange crystal. After being refined by the martial cultivator, not only would it strengthen the quality and courage of the body, the most important thing was to be able to condense a beam of courage into the body.
This type of courage was stored in the Dantian and when activated during battle, martial cultivator would be able to unleash fighting strength that far surpassed their own. Moreover, this courage would increase as the number of dragon gallbladder stone that was absorbed would increase, eventually turning into courage crystals.
Shen Longxuan looked at the jade-green crystal in his hand. He tried to absorb it, and after refining it, he condensed a thread of jade-green gaseous substance inside his body.
When the gas was absorbed and circulated, Shen Longxuan surprisingly discovered that it was effective. It was just that this thing was a consumable and had to be continuously absorbed without condensing a Gall Crystal.
The Patriarch Ling personally came to see Shen Longxuan, and explained all the rules of the competition to him.
The rules of the competition were actually very simple, it was just a hierarchical competition of arenas, from the Martial Saint Stage to martial cultivator s of the Martial King Stage, they could all participate.
Within the same level, every clan would only allow two people to fight, and the final victor would be decided by the competition. But the final deciding factor was still the battle of the Martial Saint Stage, because their cultivation was strong, making them the top warriors of the continent, thus their victor was the key to this competition.
Just in terms of strength alone, the Ling Family was indeed weak. None of the male martial cultivator s had such a cultivation, only the little girl Ling Xiaoxiao straightened her back.
But helplessly, the other three great families only had Martial Saint Stage s that were either higher than her cultivation or had more people than her. Thus, in every competition, she would lose her name.
The patriarch of the Ling Family had promised that if the Ling Family could advance even one rank, it would give Shen Longxuan the corresponding benefit. However, Shen Longxuan just laughed it off, he only wanted to obtain the Heavenly Star Bead.
Three days later, the competition arrived as scheduled.
Patriarch Ling brought Ling Xiaoxiao, Shen Longxuan, and a group of martial cultivator s on flying boats to the land that was controlled by the Hong Family.
Hong Family was the number one of the four continents, ranked first in every competition. His family obtained fifty percent of the dragon gallbladder stone, and became more and more powerful.
”Hey, who is that person? Why have I never seen him before?”
”I don't know, but he's by Ling Xiaoxiao's side, probably going to participate in the tournament!”
”I have seen him before, he is Shen Longxuan. It is said that he had stolen Ling Xiaoxiao's breastplate and was chased by Ling Xiaoxiao to Dragon Prestige Realm. I am afraid he was captured and brought back this time.”
Hearing the discussions of the crowd, the people of Ling Family looked at Shen Longxuan with sympathy.
Someone whispered: ”Ling Xiaoxiao dares to offend him, he's really amazing, I really admire this kind of person!”
”Wait, why do I see Ling Xiaoxiao like that, as if he's trying to please Shen Longxuan?”
”It's true! Could it be that this brother here has conquered Ling Xiaoxiao? That would truly be great! We must properly thank him for that.”
Although these people's voices were soft, they were still heard by Ling Xiaoxiao. She turned her head to give them a glare and they all immediately shut up.
On the other hand, Shen Longxuan's thoughts were on the flying boat. Half a year ago, on the broken continent, he saw many people who had flying boats that could travel in space, so they could enter the depths of space when they were in the Martial Saint Stage.
However, when he asked her about her residual soul, she stammered and refused to tell Shen Longxuan how to make the flying boat. However, he could feel that what he was seeing was on a completely different level from the flying boat in front of him.
The flying boat in front of them, not to mention charging into the starry sky, they probably wouldn't even be able to penetrate the protective barrier around the Profound Dragon Continent. Even if the flying boat entered into the starry sky, it would still be crushed by the Starry Sky turbulent flow.
He had forged a flying boat before, but that was just for fun.
Shen Longxuan felt that the flying boat must have reached the level of an Origin Treasure, or else it would not be able to resist the space turbulent flow and the storm. He had thought about it before, how there were so many Martial Emperors talking about dealing with the trouble here, maybe it was related to something in the starry sky.
