Chapter 253: Mockery!
【A same-realm martial competition was a good thing for you.】
【Although your cultivation was currently only at the Early Immortal Realm, you were confident that you could fight someone at Immortal Realm Great Perfection.】
【The reason was simple. You had too many trump cards. Whether it was Boiling Dragonblood or the Sword Emperor’s Successor, both had greatly improved your combat strength.】
【“Wait...”】
【“Dragon blood...”】
【You suddenly thought of something and abruptly stood up.】
【“I wonder if the Taixuan Immortal Domain has Taixu Ancient Dragon Blood Essence.”】
【Your bloodline concentration had still not reached one hundred percent, so there was still a great deal of room for improvement in that aspect.】
【If there was any, your strength could increase rapidly, especially if it was Taixu Ancient Dragon imperial blood essence.】
【At that thought, you began looking forward to the martial competition.】
【Since you had never participated in the martial competition before, you had no idea what the rewards were like. You only knew that they were generous and came in many varieties.】
【One month later, a new martial competition began once again.】
【The Great Dream Immortal Sect’s martial competition would last no more than three days. Since there were the most participants in the Immortal Realm, their matches required three days. The higher the realm, the less time it took.】
【The first two days were selection matches. The participants were divided into groups, and the one hundred strongest Immortal Realm cultivators were chosen before the arena matches began.】
【There were ten ranked arenas in total, and each ranking corresponded to an arena of a different height.】
【You learned that whoever remained the champion of each arena until the end would be the final winner of that ranking.】
【Furthermore, in order to prevent people from challenging an arena champion while the champion was injured or extremely weakened, the Great Dream Immortal Sect specially provided medicinal pills for the champions to recover.】
【This rule made you feel that the sect was quite considerate.】
【You knew that this kind of competition format would easily cause people to target those who were injured and weakened.】
【On the third day, you successfully entered the top one hundred.】
【However, just as the third day of the competition began, ten figures leaped onto the arenas and looked coldly at everyone below.】
【Since you did not understand the situation, you did not charge up immediately. Instead, you began asking around for information in the crowd.】
【Very quickly, you found out about those ten people.】
【You learned that the ten people on the arenas had dominated them for three consecutive years, and no one had ever challenged them successfully.】
【You learned that in order to obtain more cultivation resources, these people had deliberately refused to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm. They themselves were also very clear that once they broke through to the Earth Immortal Realm, they would no longer be able to obtain cultivation resources from the martial competition.】
【After understanding the whole story, a mocking expression appeared on your face.】
【You had not expected that while the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty had always been working hard to improve the Human Race’s overall strength, parasites would actually appear within it.】
【In your heart, you knew very well that the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty’s original intention was good, but people with ulterior motives had exploited its loopholes.】
【Moreover, after your journey from the Canglan Realm all the way here, you also understood one principle: even when the Human Race fell into the most dangerous of times, traitors would still exist among them.】
【You knew that this was human nature—the darkness of human nature and the greed of human nature.】
【“Huff!”】
【After taking a deep breath, you looked toward the tenth arena, the one with the lowest height.】
【From what you had just learned, you knew that all ten of them were at Immortal Realm Great Perfection.】
【Before this, you had only believed in theory that you could fight someone at Immortal Realm Great Perfection. You had never put it into practice until now.】
【Therefore, you planned to use the person on the tenth arena to test your strength.】
【Then, you raised your foot and slowly walked toward the tenth arena.】
【At the same time, the ten people on the arenas and everyone below all looked at you in shock.】
【“Well, Little Stone, it looks like you still seem too easy to bully. Someone actually chose to challenge you.”】
【“That is right, Little Stone. It has already been more than a year since anyone challenged you, and now the one who came is... hm? He is actually at the Early Immortal Realm?”】
【“Pfft! Am I seeing this right? Little Stone, you are actually being looked down on by a newcomer at the Early Immortal Realm.”】
【You saw that on the tenth arena, the man called Little Stone by the people on the other arenas was looking at you with an icy gaze.】
【With every step you took, Shi Hao’s expression became increasingly gloomy.】
【Shi Hao had not expected that someone would actually challenge him, and it was even a piece of trash at the Early Immortal Realm.】
【“Do not tell me you just entered the Inner Sect from the Outer Sect, heard that the sect competition has generous rewards, and rushed over to register in a moment of hot-headedness?”】
【When you heard Shi Hao say this, the corners of your mouth could not help curving upward.】
【“That is right! That is right! I heard that the rewards for this competition are very generous, so I decided to give it a try.”】
【After hearing your words, Shi Hao’s expression became even uglier. To him, this was naked humiliation.】
【He was an existence at Immortal Realm Great Perfection, yet he was being looked down on by a piece of trash at the Early Immortal Realm. This caused him to overlook one important thing.】
【That was the fact that you, as the only Early Immortal Realm cultivator among the hundred participants, were already extraordinary simply by appearing here.】
【However, everyone seemed to have overlooked this point.】
【In their eyes, there was only mockery and amusement.】
【They were only looking forward to seeing you get beaten up by Shi Hao so badly that your body would suffer injuries that would leave you unable to get out of bed for at least a year or half a year.】
【You even heard the people on the other nine arenas begin using the battle between you and Shi Hao as a gambling match.】
【They were betting on whether you could even dirty the corner of Shi Hao’s robe.】
【Amid all the mocking voices from both above and below the stage, you walked onto the arena.】
【Shi Hao looked at you gloomily, and an icy voice came from his mouth.】
【“Trash! You have guts, but I hope that the next time you see me, you can still be this brave!”】
【When you heard this, you responded with a disdainful expression and said,】
【“A parasite of the Human Race!”】
【As soon as your words fell, Shi Hao’s expression became ugly to the extreme. Without saying a word, he swung out a Fist Intent at you.】
【This Fist Intent contained almost the full-powered strike of someone at Immortal Realm Great Perfection.】
【Looking at the attack before you, you took out the Taixu Immortal Sword, raised your hand, and slashed out a stream of Taixu Sword Qi.】
【This stream of Sword Qi contained Chaos Qi, and it instantly erupted with a thunderous boom against Shi Hao’s Fist Intent.】
【Ever since you forged the Immortal-Demon Body, you discovered that you could convert the Spiritual Power within your body into Chaos Qi.】
【This Chaos Qi could be applied to all of your Divine Powers, greatly increasing the might of every move you made.】
【“What? How is this possible?”】
【After just one clash, everyone’s eyes changed.】
【The amusement in the eyes of the other people on the arenas gradually turned into shock—utter shock.】
【In their eyes, you had merely struck casually, yet you had neutralized Shi Hao’s almost full-powered attack.】
【“Are you this weak?”】
