although her expression was indifferent, her fair little hands were poking here and there, teasing the Coffin Spirit as if it were a cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter turned its eyes away, maintaining a cold, aloof demeanor as if it wouldn't play with fools, which only made Zhao Yinman visibly happier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was normal for a zombie to like a coffin, thinking about how the Coffin Spirit was born from half of his own flesh and blood, Jiang Yan always felt it was a bit strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the afternoon, the scorching sun hung high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly five hundred people had gathered on the white jade ground; those who could come to compete were all dragons and phoenixes among men who had confidence in themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number of newcomers who hadn't arrived was even greater, and this was only counting the official ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other factions and those with hidden identities were not included.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, after the historical pathology intensified, it caused the entire province to produce tens of thousands of new practitioners every year, surpassing the accumulation of ordinary small countries over a dozen years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the Tianxia Alliance as a whole, this number would only be more terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the foundation of a great nation, the hope for resisting the continued pathology of the river of history and correcting the years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Li’s gaze was expectant as he murmured, \"I wonder, among these people, who can transform into a true dragon and soar into the sky?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time, in order to cultivate newcomers, the headquarters has spared no expense, bringing out a Spirit Treasure Grotto-Heaven that would make even a Heavenly Official’s heart race as a reward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two heard this and were also envious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they were young, they never had such good conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last few people arrived, bringing the total number to five hundred and sixteen, matching the number of registered participants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Li spoke, \"True Person Qiu is likely still searching the earth veins and probably won't make it back in time, so let us begin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Person Qiu, full name Qiu Bai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the chief referee for this Jiangnan Grand Competition, a True Person of the Old Register who should have been presiding over the main venue, but he was currently exploring abnormal earth vein nodes in the Jinhua area to search for the Heavenly King treasure that Jiang Yan had reported.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(No text for 24, continuing from 23)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Zhou Li no longer concealed his presence, appearing before everyone and releasing his aura without restraint, sweeping across the entire venue and instantly bringing silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes; the aura of the Tianxia orthodox Dharma Seed was as vast as an abyss, enough to crush the White Cherry Dharma Seed of Kurokawa Sosuke at the same level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wondered if it was because the other guy was weak, or if there was a problem with the White Cherry path?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he had time, he would go harvest a few White Cherry geniuses to put it into practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me introduce myself, my name is Zhou Li, and these are my colleagues and teammates, Bo Rui and Master Fale; we are the referees for this competition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhou Li spoke, he reached out and pointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white jade disk vibrated, and Jiang Yan and the others looked up to see the energy of the earth veins boiling and intertwining, sprouting vitality like plants budding, growing branches and spreading outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the white jade disk, a referee platform was constructed, with ten arenas extending in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Li said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The rules are simple. The Jiangnan Grand Competition focuses on arena Dharma combat; the strong stay, the weak go down. However, acts such as taking a life or intentionally damaging someone's foundation are not allowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, you are only competing for the small opportunities before you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the future, you will fight in many pathological domains; that is the true battlefield, filled with dangers but also many opportunities. You will need comrades to whom you can safely entrust your back in order to plunder with all your might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there is no need to be timid. The arenas are built with the [Earth Jade Disk Technique], connected to the earth vein power of the Nine Dragon Mountains; even a full-strength strike from a Dharma Seed Initial Stage practitioner cannot shatter them, at most leaving cracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We will be responsible for supervision; as long as you shout [Surrender], the match is considered over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this, Zhou Li pointed to Master Fale beside him and said, \"This master practices the Eastern Lapis Lazuli World Medicine Buddha Dharma and is known as the number one in the medical path below the Old Register. As long as your head isn't gone, he can reattach even severed hands and feet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Fale smiled gently: \"Benefactors, feel free to display your skills boldly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bo Rui continued, \"Your credentials will display your numerical code. Opponents are assigned randomly. Each win earns 3 points, and a loss deducts two points. You start with 3 points. If your score hits zero or you lose two matches, you are directly eliminated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At the same time, the Historical Correction Bureau encourages everyone to develop in all aspects. Those with extraordinary skills or specialties can come to the referee platform for grading, which may earn you bonus points. However, specialty points only account for ten percent of the total score; they can add icing to the cake, but cannot provide help in a time of need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The top three of the Jiangnan Grand Competition can enter the Spirit Treasure Grotto-Heaven to select a growth-type spirit treasure, fuse it with your spirituality, and grow together, perfectly fitting your Dao path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The top ten will receive a high cash prize!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The top eighty-eight will all receive a reward of ten points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Jiangnan Grand Competition, now begins!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his voice fell, the spirituality of the credentials in everyone's hands flashed, revealing different numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan glanced at his code: [444].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Zhao Yinman, hers was [222].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, both were quite auspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the ten arenas, drones appeared, projecting AR images. The numbers on them changed rapidly, and soon the numerical codes and names of the first twenty contestants were selected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ge Xianyao was among them, with the number [99], at Arena No. 1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A number of duality, not bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ge Xianyao’s gaze was calm as he leaped onto the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His opponent was a bald man with the numerical code [66], wearing a tank top, revealing muscular arms and purple tattoos; with every breath, wisps of electric arcs crackled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't expect it to be Lei Jun. This guy is a lightning-path seedling unearthed by the Yinzhou branch. I heard the first pathological domain he experienced was also related to the lightning path. His fighting style is exceptionally fierce, and the demons he fights are often reduced to charcoal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've heard of him too. It even alarmed the branch of the Celestial Master Mansion in Jiangnan Province, who wanted to poach him at a high price. Although they failed, it showed that the peak of the Celestial Master Mansion's lightning path is always open to him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although his realm is only at the Dao Foundation Middle Stage, his lightning path attacks are powerful enough to bridge the gap. We're in for a good show.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jun listened to the crowd's discussion with a calm expression, but in his heart, he thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being flattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cupped his hands and said, \"Brother Ge, I have long admired your great name, and now I can finally cross hands with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ge Xianyao waved his hand impatiently and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then continue to admire. Let's start quickly; only after finishing you off can I quickly meet that guy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to teach this guy a lesson so he would know the immensity of heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fists were clenched hard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jun took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and sneered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then please, enlighten me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his voice fell, he struck his chest violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump! Thump! Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the beating of war drums, or the low roar of a divine ox, it suddenly exploded, shaking the soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the lake, with the arena as the center, ripples spread outward, turning into surging waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, white light swallowed the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten thousand bolts of lightning surged, and countless electric snakes swept out in an instant. Vaguely, one could see a one-legged divine ox with a blue body and no horns, roaring at the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Heavenly Thunder Incantation — Kui Ox Hundred-Battle Drum!』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1521,"2026-06-20T04:11:05.849Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","a3cea4ac845d69907b6865a959b9e86a5ed4bc335ee96238812e9c93086fd9ab",null,"history-is-sick-chapter-68","https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhistory-is-sick-cover.jpg"]
