Chapter 420: Nobody Shall See Me!!

on Palace but could not調動龍宮裡的一兵一卒調動任何龍宮的兵力。此刻看到這些門派弟子如此虔誠地望著她和郝仁，忽然覺得郝仁也蠻厲害的嘛！"Ah Zi, do you have anything to give them" Hao Ren asked as he turned around.Zhao Yanzi touched her ring and pulled out se...Chapter 420: No One Shall See Me!

Qin ShaoYang, who was yawning, couldn't help but perk up when he saw the pill, nearly jumping to his feet.

The pill looked black and unremarkable on the surface, but the divine aura it emitted instantly confirmed its status as an ancient divine pill!

This Imperial Dragon Temple examination had not only unearthed a primordial ancient treasure but also an ancient divine pill!

And these items from within the Nine Dragons Palace could easily influence the rankings and results of the exam!

Zhao Kuo put the divine pill in his mouth and swallowed it.

<

In this instant, countless cultivators’ eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Hao Ren had once retrieved several bottles of divine pills from within the Nine Dragons Palace. He knew that there were five types: detoxification pills, foundation-building pills, energy-supplementing pills, evolution pills, and enhancement pills.

The effect of the enhancement pill was to rapidly boost one’s mana, which could be extremely useful in a life-or-death struggle! It could almost be said to be a natural combat-enhancement pill!

However, in most cultivators’ minds, no matter how important the Imperial Dragon Temple examination was, it wasn’t worth using up an enhancement pill.

After all, there was another special use for enhancement pills: during tribulation-crossing, they could suddenly increase one’s mana to get through the most dangerous moment!

Bang! The momentum of Zhao Kuo, who had taken the enhancement pill, suddenly increased dramatically. The 720 sword beams emitted a buzzing resonance.

Thud! With his right foot firmly planted on the ground, Zhao Kuo charged towards the wood cultivator like an arrow released from a bowstring.

A soft light appeared in the hands of the earth cultivators.

A wooden staff shot out from the light. Suddenly, thousands of willow branches extended and spread to intercept the sword beams.

Spring Revival!

The wood cultivator’s cultivation technique was extremely formidable! He appeared to be a chubby little kid, but in reality, he had over four or five hundred years of cultivation experience. One characteristic of wood techniques was eternal youth and never showing signs of aging.

Zhao Yanzi, with an anxious expression, pulled Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu through the crowd to Hao Ren’s side. They were closer to the fighting area here, allowing for a clearer view.

Zhen Congming sat on Little White in his snow lion form, leisurely riding over like he was riding an ox. Since Little White wasn’t a secret anymore, there was no need to keep her in the芥子空間.

“Uncle, did Uncle Three just use a divine pill” Hao Ren took the opportunity to ask when Zhao Guang approached.

"Yes..." Zhao Guang frowned.

Hao Ren asked worriedly, "Uncle Three is currently at the Exchanged Rank. Is it okay to use this"

Hao Ren had retrieved divine pills from the Nine Dragons Palace, and Zhao Guang along with some elders had thoroughly researched these divine pills. They concluded that if low-rank cultivators were to casually consume these divine pills, they would suffer a risk of their bodies exploding due to being unable to withstand the spiritual energy!

Thus, most of the divine pills were kept in secret, only a small portion was given to some of the strongest elders within the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace.

Zhao Guang remained silent and did not speak. His gaze firmly fixed on changes happening at the arena; his increasingly furrowed brows indicated his worries.

At the arena, 720 sword beams that were entangled by willow branches suddenly exploded!

Bam bam bam... The intense explosions shattered the willow branches into pieces! This shockwave also caused all cultivators around the arena to stagger back half a step.

The Earth Rank cultivator's face instantly turned pale.

That wooden rod was his life-bound treasure, and naturally, the destruction of the willow branches would also cause damage to his mind.

This kind of power made all cultivators outside the arena look frightened!

If just by consuming an ancient divine pill, a Rank Exchanged cultivator could force an Earth Rank cultivator into a corner, what if it were an Earth Rank or even a Heaven Rank cultivator Wouldn't they need to reach half of the Heavenly Dragon Realm

"Great! Uncle Three must have won!" Zhao Yanzi, standing beside Chancellor Xia, let out a long sigh and said.

"Third Master is incredibly brave; he naturally will win," Chancellor Xia nodded in agreement.

However, Hao Ren thought of another problem and turned to ask Zhao Guang again, "Where did Uncle Three get this enhancing pill from"

Hao Ren went to the Nine Dragons Palace and struggled hard to obtain a few bottles of divine pills. However, at that time, Zhao Kuo had already left the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, so where could Zhao Kuo's enhancing pill have come from Only two possibilities existed – either Zhao Kuo secretly returned to the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace to retrieve it or he personally infiltrated the Nine Dragons Palace to obtain a bottle of the enhancing pill!

"The divine pills are under my secret custody and won't be lost," Zhao Guang replied, then thought for a moment more, "But I left five divine pills at Third Brother's palace in case he returned to use them."

“So Zhao Kuo had come back before but didn’t want to see us.” Zhao Hongyu said.

"Sigh... If there were divine pills then, Third Brother would have a good chance of breaking through to the Heavenly Dragon Realm. Why go through all this trouble" Zhao Kuo murmured softly.

Chancellor Xia suddenly approached, "King Dragon, we still have some reserves of divine pills. However, these divine pills are extremely powerful; if one swallows one, they cannot consume another of the same type within a hundred years. If Third Master does this, then... "

Zhao Guang pondered for several seconds and found it hard to understand.

Given that Zhao Kuo ate an enhancing pill in such a competition, while there were still some divine pills left in the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, they didn't feel too heartbroken about it. But what Zhao Kuo did meant he couldn’t take another enhancing pill for a hundred years; this implied that if Zhao Kuo returned to his peak Heaven Rank within a hundred years, he wouldn’t be able to rely on enhancing pills again and would have to harden himself to endure the heavenly tribulation just like last time.

In reality, Zhao Kuo was able to reach the pinnacle of the Dry Stage within just 200 years. If he were to start cultivating again, his progress wouldn't be too slow; perhaps he could achieve the peak of the Dry Stage again in a hundred years and have another chance at breaking through to the Dragon Heaven stage!

Ha Ren stood beside Chancellor Xia and Zhao Guang, listening to their conversation while pondering over the unusual aspect of this matter.

If Zhao Kuo merely wanted to enhance his realm through combat, there would be no need for him to waste a divine pill. Doing so would also deprive him of the chance to use strengthening pills within those hundred years.

In the arena, the Wood cultivator retreated five steps back as light shone from his hands once more, causing the wooden staff on the ground to take root and transform into a vine that spread across the arena densely.

"Get lost!" Zhao Kuo bellowed out loud; sword lights radiated outward in all directions around him.

Seven hundred and twenty sword lights ignited like wildfire, burning everything on the ground to ashes instantly!

Zhao Kuo’s eyes bulged roundly as his brown robe billowed fiercely—it seemed that his body could barely contain such unruly spiritual energy!

The Exchange stage realm was no longer considered a low-ranking cultivator, but it also couldn't be classified as high-ranking. For Zhao Kuo to consume the divine pill at the Exchange stage was extremely risky!

There was always the danger of his body exploding from the strain!

Seeing Zhao Kuo's desperate fighting spirit, Ha Ren suddenly thought… Zhao Kuo’s participation in the Dragon God Temple’s imperial examination likely had a target in mind—the Seven-Hearted Five-Colored Lotus!

The last time he failed his tribulation and shattered his dragon core, destroying all traces of his realm, although Jin Cunming's spirit pill managed to save him, merely repairing his dragon core勉強修複了他的龍丹，但他的玄晶肯定完全損壞！勉強修複了他的龍丹，但他的玄晶肯定完全損壞！勉強修複了他的龍核心。然而，他的玄晶肯定是徹底損壞了！

And now he was practicing the Split Light Sword Shadow Technique, a special method that involves cultivating all five elements simultaneously. The best xuan crystal could be found right here in the Dragon God Temple!

Pah pah pah! In the arena, Zhao Kuo’s sword lights seemed like raging winds, destroying everything they touched!

The Earth-stage Wood cultivator had yet to showcase his method's characteristic of continuous growth and rebirth before being suppressed by Zhao Kuo’s sword lights into a corner!

Swish swish swish… Seven hundred and twenty sword lights suddenly converged into one giant sword!

A ten-zhang long greatsword!

Zhao Kuo, with bulging eyes and brimming spiritual energy, pointed at nothingness in the air.

The greatsword cleaved through the air, blinding light causing all cultivators to instinctively shut their eyes!

Ha Ren stood by the side of the arena, forcefully opening his eyes as he watched with bated breath what would happen next.

Bang!

Sword light falls!

The 300-meter wide, 300-meter long, and 1-meter thick arena is forcibly cut in half!

In the middle of the arena, a depression measuring 200 meters in length and 50 meters in width appears. The bottom of the arena has already exposed black soil.

Zhao Kuo's single slash directly destroyed this large-scale arena!

Xiaobai stood in front of Zhao Yanzi to shield her from flying debris that could harm the young mistress.

When other cultivators opened their eyes, they saw a pudgy Wood Attribute cultivator slowly crawling out of the deep pit and waving his hand helplessly.

The Earth Rank cultivator directly conceded defeat!

"Hmph." Qin Shaoyang on the podium raised his hand. The badge tied around the waist of the Earth Rank cultivator quickly flew into Qin Shaoyang's hand, turning black swiftly.

"Third Uncle! Third Uncle!" Seeing Zhao Kuo's impressive performance, Zhao Yanzi waved her hands and shouted loudly.

Defeating two Earth Rank cultivators consecutively, it was indeed her third uncle who was the strongest!

Zhao Kuo strode from the collapsed arena center towards its exterior.

"Third Master!" Chancellor Xia rushed forward to greet him.

“Before the end of the competition, I don’t want to see anyone!” Zhao Kuo waved his hand. A beam of sword energy shot out and pushed Chancellor Xia back five steps.

“The qualified cultivators are Yi Mao, Ding Yin, Wu Mao, Ji Yin, Geng Yin, and Ren Yin! At dawn tomorrow, we will battle again!” The six deputy examiners beside Qin Shaoyang announced the results in unison. They then followed the silent chief examiner Qin Shaoyang towards the Dragon God Hall.

Everyone could clearly see how terrible the chief examiner Qin Shaoyang was feeling.

Six second-level inspectors, meanwhile, each came to the six advancing cultivators and led them to rest houses outside the city.

The two cultivators who were just next to Hao Ren’s examination room during the initial written test were now in the crowd, looking at Hao Ren with incredulous expressions.

Who would have imagined that this Gen Rank cultivator could actually make it into the top six of the eastern exam district and stand out among tens of thousands of cultivators Last night, this "god-like" figure was merely separated from them by a wall, facing the same written test!

How big can the gap between cultivators be

"Please follow me." The second-level inspector in silver robes walked ahead of Hao Ren, leading him towards rest houses outside the city.

Zhao Kuo was also led by another inspector towards a resting place.sciples of Bajia Sect were determined to surround and kill them.A sect so ruthless wouldn't value other sects’ cultivators' lives at all. They're truly like the Dragon King's son-in-law.However, his m...
