Waking up from his sleep,
Lu Chenzhou looked towards the Martial Arts Tree, where underneath the "Arhat Skill" leaves, pale golden flower buds had sprouted, clearly extraordinary, and having seen many Divine Seeds of Inner Boxing Skills, he was full of anticipation for the Divine Seeds of Hard Qi Gong.
[Arhat Skill: Great Success (51%)]
He had been cultivating this Hard Qi Gong for one year and two months now, and while it was indeed slower compared to Inner Boxing, with the Martial Arts Tree, it was still acceptable. The most troublesome aspects were the striking training and applying medicinal pastes, which the willpower and wallets of most people couldn’t endure.
He opened a safe, which was his medicine chest.
"Bright God Medicine, Nourishing Organ Elixirs, Qi Boosting Potions are all used up, but there’s still plenty of Jin Yu. Fortunately, the Great Merit my master has given me is enough to cultivate for a while. After the competition, a sizable sum will also come in, plus my savings, which should last until the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition."
The advantage of the genius class is that you don’t need to spend much time doing tasks. Schools, companies, masters, acquaintances... there will always be people bringing you money.
Unless they came from a well-off family background, students from the regular classes could only work and study hard, totally unable to match Lu Chenzhou in pulling in resources for all sorts of medicine for both external and internal cultivation.
Lu Chenzhou promptly went to the pharmacy and bought two boxes of Bright God Medicine, four boxes of Nourishing Organ Elixirs, and ten boxes of Qi Boosting Potion No. 2, each box costing twenty thousand, which were considered high-end versions.
With his current realm, the effect of No. 1 Potion was barely noticeable.
Lu Chenzhou arrived at Qingtian Cang’s villa.
"Teacher, I’d like to ask for a few days off."
The old man with the frame of a child and white hair was leisurely sipping tea at this moment.
He had already learned about this matter from his student, Little Ji.
"Go then, strive to get first place and bring honor to Dragon City... This kind of regional-level commercial competition, if you can place, the school will also give some Great Merit and points as a reward, though not much. If it’s an official event, the rewards would be generous."
"This student understands."
"Is your master accompanying you?"
"That’s good; be careful."
After bidding farewell to his homeroom teacher and Grandmaster, Lu Chenzhou arrived at the door of the regular Class 2.
Being low-key and having not participated in school competitions, not many people knew he was from the genius class. If someone like the Tenglong Sixth Son were present, it would certainly cause a stir. As far as he knew, the admirers of Yao, Zhou, and Wang were not few.
In the Martial Arts Era, some female Martial Artists increasingly admired strength.
When the strong joined together, generally speaking, there was a higher probability that the offspring would have Top Class root bone, which was also one reason why prestigious families remained prosperous and continued to this day. Da Xia had also spent a long time breaking monopolies held by bloodlines.
"Junior brother, are you taking a leave?"
Ji Feiyan soared through the air and landed next to Lu Chenzhou with a mischievous smile.
Lu Chenzhou smiled and said,
"I asked for two days."
Ji Feiyan’s eyes curved into crescents as she smiled,
"This is so exciting, it’s a regional-level competition, and although it’s commercial, its influence isn’t any less than some official events. Junior brother is going to make a name for himself in Jiangnan."
Shi Ruyu also approached at that moment.
"Let’s go; our master is waiting outside."
"Thank you both, Senior Sisters, for accompanying me to the competition."
Lu Chenzhou felt a warmth in his heart as he left with his two senior sisters amidst the envious eyes of the regular class, brimming with confidence and showing high spirits.
The students from regular Class 2 gossiped among themselves:
"Who’s that guy? There are only three decent-looking ones in our class, and he knows two of them?"
"Not sure, seems like he’s the last student who arrived in the genius class."
"I know him; his name is Lu Chenzhou, quite a figure."
"I heard these three are from the same sect."
"Which Martial Arts Academy is that impressive?"
"Flying Swallow Martial Arts Hall."
"Never heard of it... But with disciples so fierce, the Master must be a reclusive expert, right? Maybe one of those Grandmasters who plays around in the Human World, experiencing the pleasures of ordinary life?"
Ji Xuantong instructed his assistant to bring around his Seeking Dao 9 business vehicle.
He rolled down the window, smiling as he said,
"Hurry up, get in, let’s bring Chenzhou to Magic City to snag a trophy."
Old Ji was also spirited these days, feeling young at heart.
With each of the Three True Inheritors more outstanding than the last, as a teacher, he had no regrets.
Old Ji paid special attention to this competition, hence he let the two women accompany the one to gain some experience. During non-competition periods, everyone in the Martial Arts Hotel could practice martial arts on their own, and during the competition time, they could all go together to cheer and provide support, while also preventing any unexpected events.
As a True Inheritor Master, if any major incident occurred to his disciples during the competition, Ji Xuantong had the right to step onto the stage to ensure Lu Chenzhou’s safety and could suspend the competition, if necessary.
Safety first, rankings second.
This is also the philosophy of Martial Arts competitions.
Martial Arts, after all, is not something that can be defined by the outcome of a single competition.
The black luxury car started and sped towards Magic City.
Beijing in the North, Magic City in the South.
Denglong Hall is located in the suburbs of Magic City, professional Da Xia Martial Arts competition venues such as this cannot be built in urban areas, to minimize the harm to bystanders in case of a martial arts incident.
However, because this place often hosts Martial Arts competitions, the surrounding commercial facilities are also very complete. Ji Xuantong had already booked a Martial Arts Hotel in advance, where rooms are equipped with training rooms, and the price for one night starts at three thousand.
"Master, you’ve spent so much again."
"We’ve known each other for so long, no need to mention these things. After the tiring journey, Chenzhou, you should rest, keep practicing your fist techniques before the competition to maintain your touch... As for you two, better stay in the hotel and cultivate. If you’re really bored, you can go out and explore the neighborhood, and at the same time, scout information for Chenzhou, just check out the Ninth Rank. Fresh chapters posted on novel⦿fire.net
Below Ninth Rank, Chenzhou will sweep them all!"
As he spoke the last sentence, Ji Xuantong was confident.
Ji Feiyan laughed and said,
"I guess the competitors this time are all staying at our hotel."
