Chapter 335: Entering

After obtaining the "Phase Bubble Art," Li Luo devoted all his time to it for the days that followed. After all, from a time-cost perspective, the Phase Bubble Art was the only method that could raise his strength in the shortest period.

Fortunately, cultivating this "Phase Bubble Art" was not overly difficult. Combined with Li Luo's talent and comprehension in phase arts, after just a single day of attempts, he had initially mastered it.

House Luolan Mansion, a room's loft.

Li Luo sat cross-legged by a sunlit window. He raised his palm, and a blue jade bead appeared in his hand. This was a Water Jade Bead, an essential material for cultivating the Phase Bubble Art.

In just two days, Li Luo had consumed several hundred Water Jade Beads before gradually grasping the knack of the "Phase Bubble Art." Fortunately, the Water Jade Beads weren't too expensive, otherwise the loss would have been enormous.

Pfft!

Li Luo pinched his hand, and the Water Jade Bead was crushed directly into a cloud of blue crystalline dust. Then he inhaled sharply, and the dust was drawn into his breath.

A cool aura rapidly spread through his body.

Li Luo circulated his Water Phase power, wrapping all the crystalline dust that had surged into his body. The two began to circulate through his body along specific trajectories.

Li Luo pressed his palms together, his expression calm. Over the past two days he had become extremely familiar with these steps, so now he repeated them methodically.

As time passed, the phase power fused with the crystalline dust, and before he knew it, faint bubbles condensed within his body.

These bubbles were quite peculiar. Phase-power radiance flowed across their surfaces, drifting unsteadily and giving off an unstable feeling.

This was the Phase Power Bubble cultivated by the Phase Bubble Art.

Four Phase Power Bubbles condensed — this was already the current limit of what Li Luo could achieve. According to the information recorded on the Phase Bubble Art jade scroll, the technique could condense a maximum of twelve Phase Power Bubbles.

At a thought from Li Luo, he split the four Phase Power Bubbles into two groups of two, sending them into the Water-Light Phase Palace and the Wood-Earth Phase Palace respectively.

As these four Phase Power Bubbles fell within, wisps of phase power rose from the phase-power seeds within the phase palaces, gradually filling the four bubbles.

As the phase power filled them, the color of the Phase Power Bubbles within the two phase palaces gradually became distinct — one side glowed a shimmering azure, the other a lush verdant green.

That was Water-Light phase power and Wood-Earth phase power.

Li Luo smiled faintly. It was finally done.

He estimated that these four Phase Power Bubbles should be able to boost his phase power by several tenths for a short time. However, once the bubbles shattered, the phase power would begin to dissipate and could no longer be stored back into the phase-power seeds, so they had to be unleashed immediately, or the phase power would be wasted.

Actually, from a practical standpoint, this Phase Bubble Art was somewhat of a white elephant — the boost in strength was limited, the duration was short, and it carried quite a few restrictions.

So generally, very few people cultivated this kind of stored-phase art.

However, this only applied to others. Li Luo was different. He possessed dual-phase power, which allowed him to unleash the maximum might from these enhanced phase powers. Its effectiveness far surpassed the Phase Bubble Art cultivated by ordinary people.

So while cultivating this art might be of little use to others, for him it was a perfect complement.

Hoo.

Li Luo exhaled a long breath, his gaze turning toward the sunlit window outside. Now everything was fully prepared. Next was to wait for tomorrow's opening of the Golden Dragon Arena.

And regarding this legendary Golden Dragon Arena, his heart was filled with extraordinary anticipation.

The next day, after bidding farewell to Jiang Jiang Qinge, Li Luo headed straight for the Golden Dragon Treasure House.

Upon arriving at the Golden Dragon Treasure House, led by a maidservant, he entered the inner area and finally arrived at a plaza constructed from grayish-brown giant rocks.

The plaza had a unique shape, with towering giant rocks standing like human figures.

At the central position of the plaza, layers of giant rocks were stacked in some complex pattern, forming a high platform like an altar.

When Li Luo arrived, the higher-ups of the Golden Dragon Treasure House, including Yu Yu Hongxi and Ning Que, were already gathered.

Lv Qing'er waved at Li Luo. Beside her stood the burly Qin Qin Zhulu, silent.

Standing to one side were also Ning Zhao, Senior Zhu Zhu Xuan, and Lin Suo.

When Li Luo walked over, the three looked his way, and Lin Suo even gave Li Luo a smile.

Li Luo returned the smile without changing his expression, then walked over to Lv Qing'er's side.

Seeing that Li Luo had also arrived, Yu Yu Hongxi spoke: "Everyone's here. Next, we will activate the spatial teleportation and send you into the Golden Dragon Arena."

"Remember, when entering the Golden Dragon Arena, you must grip the 'Golden Dragon Secret Key' you obtained previously, because upon entering the arena you will be attacked by the Green Wind Gang. The true Green Wind Gang is extremely domineering — with your strength, it's simply impossible to resist. The Golden Dragon Secret Key will help you neutralize ninety percent of the Green Wind Gang's power."

Li Luo's expression shifted. He swept his palm across his spatial sphere, and a faint golden light flickered in his hand — it was the Golden Dragon Secret Key he had won at the banquet earlier.

So this item was not only the credential for entering the Golden Dragon Arena, but also a protective talisman.

"However, don't let the fact that the Golden Dragon Secret Key neutralizes ninety percent of the Green Wind Gang's power make you underestimate it. The remaining ten percent — with your strength, I'm afraid no one can withstand it alone."

Yu Yu Hongxi reminded them with a solemn expression: "To pass through the Green Wind Gang zone, you'll need the full cooperation of your team. If you truly reach your limit, the Golden Dragon Secret Key will shatter and unleash its final power to send you back. But once it reaches that point, you will lose your qualification to enter the Golden Dragon Arena."

Everyone nodded solemnly.

"No need for further words. Prepare to activate the teleportation." Yu Yu Hongxi waved her hand, decisive and swift.

Someone on the plaza immediately responded, and then the entire plaza began to tremble. The world's energy converged toward this spot at a speed visible to the naked eye, gradually forming an energy vortex above the plaza.

On those statue-like giant rocks on the plaza, light patterns grew bright, and then beams of light shot out violently.

These beams converged on the high platform at the center of the plaza. Space tore violently, and after a moment, an energy portal slowly took shape.

Yu Yu Hongxi stared at the energy portal for several breaths, then turned her gaze toward Lv Qing'er and the others. She said nothing, merely tilting her chin slightly in a gesture.

In the next instant, the figures of Li Luo, Lv Qing'er, Senior Zhu Zhu Xuan, and the other six shot out simultaneously.

Under the gaze of many eyes, they plunged directly into the energy portal.

Yu Yu Hongxi watched the six figures disappear. The energy portal would remain until Lv Qing'er, Li Luo, and the others returned.

As for whether Lv Qing'er could obtain the Golden Dragon Mountain-Worshiping Token — that was no longer something she could change. Let it be as fate willed it. If she couldn't get it, they'd think of another way.
