Chapter 281 Heading to Chonglong Again
Chapter 281 Heading to Chonglong Again (4k)
After hunting down the three demigod-level monsters, Tiamut's matter came to a temporary end.
Although it was a bit regrettable that Tiamut was not completely killed, Ash did not care too much about it. In the battle for the throne of God, all enemies would be eliminated.
In the dream, Ash threw a ball of beast fire, a pair of tusks and a green feather into the three halls.
Maria began to manipulate the dream and refine it, making it completely integrated into the dream.
Ash sat under the colorful Love Tree, smelling the elegant yet strong fragrance and closing his eyes. The divinity points on his panel dropped by another hundred points.
He had to plunder all the unowned shares within the concept of "Sword" first.
Time passed slowly, and when Ash opened his eyes again, a clanging sound came from his spine, as if celebrating his master's further progress.
'What day is it now?'
Ash asked the question in his mind, and the answer automatically appeared in his mind: July 1240, of the Iron Calendar.
"It seems that the day of the world's number one martial arts tournament has arrived at this time."
Some of the notes he had left before came to Ash's mind.
The world's number one martial arts tournament, a high-level competition held by the Chonglong Empire, is mainly for the Homo sapiens race.
The participants are divided into three groups: the freshman group with the age under 50, the core group with the age between 50 and 150, and the peak group with the age between 150 and 300.
"I can take part in this and complete the achievement of [Number One in the World]. "
Yaxiu said to himself that the reason why he said it was by the way was that his main goal of going to the Chonglong Empire again was his senior brother Jian San, or the share of the sword concept in him.
Now that the share of the sword concept has been completely divided up, if Ash wants to go further, he can only snatch it from others.
He was too disdainful to take Ye Lin's, but the others were scattered and hard to find, so Ya Xiu decided to go straight for it and snatch the one from his senior brother Jian San.
But when he thought of a certain figure, Ash felt a little hesitant. That person was not easy to deal with. If he appeared in front of her in his true form, he would probably be caught and tortured immediately.
Even though his strength has greatly improved now, Ash knows that he is no match for the empress.
After much hesitation, Ash decided that he should go after all. The worst that could happen was just a meal, which would only humiliate him a little, but it wouldn't be a big deal. On the contrary, he would get the advantage.
Besides, now that Climbing the Dragon Pillar has become his foundation, whether he wants to have children is still a matter of his own thought, unless she has similar reproductive abilities as Tiamut.
However, given her powerful fighting ability, she shouldn't waste her energy on a skill that doesn't fit her system.
After coming out of seclusion to arrange the tasks for the Yinglong Army and leaving behind a clone to handle government affairs, Ash headed for the Chonglong Empire.
On the way, Ash called up the panel and looked at the divinity production, which had reached 17/year. Occupying the power share was the way for demigods to increase divinity production.
But let’s not talk about whether the common powers still have a share. Whether one thousand divinity points can occupy 10% of the share is enough to make ordinary demigods hesitate.
Ash's efficiency in the concept of sword is far superior to that of ordinary demigods. One reason is his unique skill, [Sword Way], which surpasses other unique sword skills. The other is his innate main artifact, the One and Only, which was created by more than 2,000 divinity points.
Ordinary demigods don’t have the conditions he does.
Ashura went to the mage's inherent skills and began to consume divinity points to strengthen the skills.
Since the main body has reached demigod status, the second body must naturally become a demigod as well. However, before that, the one that can be upgraded will be upgraded first.
{The inherent skill [Elemental Divine Crystal] has reached the inherent skill limit. Do you want to upgrade it to a unique skill?}
Yes!
【turn down! 】
{Detecting related skills, detecting related skills [Elemental Law] and [Power of the Great Element], do you want to combine and upgrade them?}
Yes!
{Turn on the upgrade again!}
【Can! 】
{The inherent skill [Magic Brain] has reached the inherent skill limit. Do you want to upgrade it to a unique skill?}
Yes!
【turn down! 】
{Detecting related skills, detecting related skills [Spiritual Wisdom], [Mind Transformation], [Law Command], do you want to combine and upgrade them?}
Yes!
{Turn on the upgrade again!}
【Can! 】
By consuming 500 divinity points, Ash used up all of his inherent skills that could be combined and upgraded.
Next is waiting.
Wuwei Martial Arts School, as more and more chefs graduate, the glowing delicacies made by [Wuwei Chef] are now well-known in the Chonglong Empire and are highly sought after by people.
With so many people following it, the status of Wuwei Martial Arts School naturally rose, and it has become the first choice for common people to become apprentices.
After all, most of them join the martial arts school in order to make a living in the future. Compared with adventurers who have to fight for their lives, or pharmacists and enchanters who have to spend countless amounts of money to make a living, the cheap five-flavor chef who only cooks is obviously a more suitable choice for ordinary people.
At the end of Wuwei Martial Arts School, brother and sister Li Zhi and Li Yu, who had just returned from their travels, stood in front of the door, with a more sturdy dog and darts beside them.
The door opened, and a tall young man with ordinary appearance walked out. Li Zhi and his sister immediately shouted in unison: "Greetings, Master."
The dog nearby pounced on it and licked it with its big tongue.
Ash manually shut up the dog and looked at the Li Zhi siblings: "They are growing up well."
The brother and sister have made rapid progress. Even with his help in improving resources, not everyone can increase their combat power by three or four hundred levels in more than a year.
"Master has helped us a lot." Li Zhi bowed.
"That's all your own hard work." Ash took out a fruit and threw it into the dog's mouth, and then took out a crystal and threw it into the dart's mouth. "Go to the kitchen and make a meal later. I'll see if your cooking skills have improved."
"Yes." Li Zhi and Li Yu left.
The vegetable dog and the dart were trapped in a ball of light. The resources that Ash had just fed them were enough to allow them to make further progress in their bloodline.
Ash lay on the recliner and said, "Did you ask me to come to the palace?"
"Yes, His Majesty wants to see you." Li Xuanyi walked out from the shadows.
"Let her wait. At least let me finish catching up with my apprentice." Yaxiu said.
Li Xuanyi nodded and then disappeared into the shadows.
Ash shifted his gaze back to Rookie Dog and Dart.
Not long after, brother and sister Li Zhi and Li Yu came over each carrying a dish.
First it was Li Zhi's. Ash sniffed the scent and nodded, "It smells good. What's the name of it?"
He had never seen this dish before, and didn't know whether it was developed by Li Zhi himself or a specialty of some place.
"Three points." Li Zhi said.
Ash took one look at the red meat, green vegetables, and white mushrooms and guessed what was going on.
Ash tasted it and found that the meat was salty, the vegetables were sweet, and the mushrooms were fresh. The combination of the two could create countless new flavors, and the ratio was the key.
"You are so thoughtful and pleasing, which is in line with your personality." Ash finished eating and commented, "You created this yourself, right?"
"Yes, Master has a keen eye." Li Zhi nodded.
"Your dish is rated three points, so I'll deduct three points from you." Yaxiu said, "One point is deducted for the cooking time, the dish was overcooked, and it was one second late; two points are deducted for your lack of ingenuity. If you're taking shortcuts, why not use your ingenuity to the extreme? The amount of food is different, so why is it rated three points?"
Li Zhi did not question Yaxiu's tongue. This was the prestige he had built up over and over again while studying. He just asked in confusion, "The amount of food is different? But I have it all in order, Master."
"Don't you know there's water in the food?" Ash asked back.
Li Zhi was speechless, he had actually forgotten this point: the weight of food before and after cooking is completely different.
Then it was Li Yu. She was not as fancy as her brother, just a plate of stir-fried pork. Ya Xiu tasted it and gave her a perfect score.
The more you do, the more mistakes you make; the less you do, the fewer mistakes you make. This is embodied in this pair of siblings.
After chatting with the brother and sister for a while, Ash let them go back.
After taking a look at the Rookie and Dart who were still evolving, Ash stepped into the palace.
Chongming, who was reading a book, looked up and said, "You're here."
"I'm coming." Ash nodded.
Chongming put down the book and said, "I thought you would hide from me, but I didn't expect you to come in person."
"Does it make any difference whether the real body comes or not?" Ash shrugged. After all, he still remembered the scene where this person came by tearing through space forcibly.
"That's true." Chongming nodded slightly, "I guess you didn't come here to see me, right?"
"Yes, to participate in the world's number one martial arts tournament." Ash said.
"You're really outspoken. You don't even bother to coax me." Zhongming tapped his fingers on the table. "But which group are you going to join in the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament?"
"Naturally the freshman group. I'm barely fifty years old," Ash said.
Hearing this, Zhongming's normally indifferent face couldn't help but show a hint of speechlessness: "You are joining the freshman group, isn't that too bullying?"
"It's bullying, but that's the rule of your competition." Ash shrugged.
Ash is still aware of the fact that he bullies others.
"Whatever you want." Chongming was too lazy to change the rules for such a small matter. If he wanted to blame someone, he could just blame the contestants for being born in the same era as Ash.
"Besides the No. 1 Martial Arts Conference in the World?" Chongming asked again, "Besides satisfying your little interest, you should have something else to do, right?"
Ya Xiu said, "Well, let's go find Senior Brother Jian San and have a demonstration."
"Looking for Jian San?" Chongming put down his tapping fingers and looked at Yaxiu seriously, "Are you starting a dispute now?"
Dao Zheng, the customary term in the Chonglong Empire, is more commonly known as the battle for power and share, or simply the power struggle.
All participants are demigods, and they fight for a share of power. Of course, it doesn't have to be a life-and-death fight. Under the auspices of a stronger and more fair demigod, they can also start a gambling fight. After three or five fights, the power share will be redistributed based on the winning rate.
Chongming knew that he was quite strong, but she had never seen Ash perform at his best. From what she had seen, Ash was only slightly stronger than she was when she was a teenager.
Even after becoming a demigod, she could only challenge demigods ranked around 60 or 70, and she might not be able to win.
But what about Ash? Even if his foundation is stronger than hers, he should only be ranked around 50 or 60, while Jian San is a powerful demigod ranked around 20.
Not to mention that he has a higher share of the sword concept. Just based on this point, he can suppress Ash who is practicing sword.
"Yes." Ash nodded.
"A life-and-death battle?" Chongming said.
Yaxiu shook his head: "Betting and fighting, after all, we are brothers, there is no hatred or grudge, it is not good to fight life and death."
Chongming said: "Okay, in that case, I will be the witness of your fight, but I don't think Jiansan will agree to it."
"He'll agree." Ash said firmly.
"Are you so confident?" Chongming asked, "Then how about you and Yu Guo?"
Ash thought about it for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
"Then let's go." Chongming put her slender five fingers together like a knife, and with a light stroke, a crack was torn in the space next to her. Then she took a step and disappeared.
Ash also took a step forward and came to a place where all four directions were empty.
Ash's excellent sense of space allowed him to instantly determine where he and Chongming had come to, in the deep space of more than 15,000 meters.
There is almost no air, but this is just a small problem for Ash and Chongming. For them who have achieved the status of demigods, air, water and other substances are no longer necessities for survival.
Ash pulled out the One and used his power to suppress its edge. It was not because he was sympathetic to her, but because he did not want to take advantage of the weapon in the fight.
Without saying a word, Chongming punched out, with the fist mark focused to the extreme. She used 30% of her strength in this punch.
Ash also swung his sword once, the sword light broke through the air and pierced the fist mark.
boom!
The energy exploded, pushing the space to form layers of ripples, almost breaking it.
Chongming raised his eyebrows. Even the demigods ranked in the 60th or 70th didn't dare to take her punch head-on. The fact that Yaxiu was able to break it with one sword showed that he really had some skills.
He threw another punch, this time using 50% of his strength.
Ash pierced the air with his sword and caught it again.
Chongming raised his eyebrows again. This was already at the level of 50th place.
He threw another punch, this time using all his strength.
Ash looked at the punch, frowned slightly, and stabbed out with a sword.
【One Sword Without Beginning】
Boom! The space was shattered, and Chongming's face became solemn. Even though Ash used a move, this was already ranked in the top 20.
Ash's speed of improvement in strength has far exceeded her expectations.
But after being solemn, Chongming smiled slightly. Great, this man is worthy of being the father of her child.
So what if his strength has improved quickly, but he is no match for me now.
Chongming's hands were covered with a layer of black scales, and the Nine Dragon Robe on his body turned into black leather armor.
With a step, Chongming instantly appeared in front of Ash and then punched him.
It was still her full strength, but unlike the full strength just now, this time she was wearing her own natal magic weapon.
Ash raised his sword to block, but after a bang, his whole body fell through the air like a comet.
"So strong!"
Ash stopped his downward trend, ignored gravity, took a step, and appeared above Chongming.
【Five Mountains Town】
When the sword fell, it was like the mountains and rivers collapsed and the whole earth turned over.
Facing this sword, Chongming changed his fist into a palm, and then with a lift, the force of the entire sword was actually removed.
Yaxiu was not someone to be trifled with either. He stuck his sticky sticky substance on Chongming's hand like a slime, then turned like a snake and stabbed Chongming's head.
Chongming closed his eyes, and after a ding sound, his eyelids actually covered Duyi.
This made Ash couldn't help but marvel at the hard membrane!
