Chapter 336: Golden Dragon Dojo

When Li Luo's figure rushed into that energy portal, he felt the space begin to twist; it was as if he had lost all his senses, a feeling that seemed to last for a long time, yet also merely a single instant.

Until a certain moment, the Golden Dragon Secret Key in his hand suddenly became scorching hot, emitting a golden light that seemed to form a kind of guidance, transforming into a golden path that pierced straight into the void ahead.

Then, ripples bloomed in the void, and it was actually torn open.

Li Luo's figure stepped into it, and at the very moment he stepped inside, an incomparably brilliant golden light seemed to pierce his eyeballs—a light so intense it seemed capable of illuminating the heavens.

Li Luo's eyes were turned blood-red by the golden light, and it was only after a long while that they gradually calmed down; looking toward the distant void, he finally saw that in this space, a continent stood tall.

The continent was boundlessly vast, but perhaps because the distance was too great, Li Luo was able to take it all in at a single glance.

At this moment, he also discovered that he was enveloped in dense golden light, falling toward the direction of that continent at a terrifying speed.

At his sides were two other streaks of golden light, which were Lu Qinger and Qin Zhulu, and further away, three more streaks of golden light were Ning Zhao, Zhu Xuan, and Lin Suo.

Looking into the distance, one could even see hundreds of golden streams of light descending continuously from the sky.

Clearly, these were the teams from the various branches of the Long Baoxing entering the venue.

It looked quite spectacular.

The speed of the golden light's escape was extremely fast; in the blink of an eye, Li Luo and the others appeared above the continent, with endless mountain ranges and rivers reflected in their eyes.

Whoosh!

And it was precisely at this moment that a great wind rose between heaven and earth; a green wind swept in from nowhere, blowing directly toward Li Luo.

Squeak!

The green wind first collided with the golden light outside his body, emitting a harsh sound; the two seemed to be constantly dissolving each other, and then wisps of green wind penetrated the golden light.

Li Luo had already circulated his resonant power to protect his entire body, but when those wisps of green wind swept in, the resonant power defense he had prepared with all his might was torn apart as if it were tofu; as the green wind swept past, it sliced through his skin, leaving behind a cut.

The seemingly inconspicuous cut made Li Luo gasp; the stinging pain was so intense it felt as if it had struck his soul.

Subsequently, more and more green wind surged in, causing people to become somewhat flustered.

Li Luo glanced at the other golden lights, where the figures inside had all become panicked due to this suddenly appearing green wind.

"Is this the Green Gale Wind? Truly terrifying."

Li Luo exclaimed inwardly; this Green Gale Wind was clearly a layer of defense for the Golden Dragon Dojo, and to enter the dojo, one had to withstand the baptism of the Green Gale Wind.

Fortunately, the Golden Dragon Secret Key resisted the vast majority of the Green Gale Wind; otherwise, with his level of strength, he likely wouldn't have been able to withstand even a single wave before being blown into nothingness.

However, even so, it was still somewhat difficult to resist it alone.

Therefore, Li Luo quickly gestured to Lu Qinger and Qin Zhulu, and the two quickly moved closer, the golden light spreading to protect the three of them together.

Over there, Ning Zhao and the other two also converged and began to join forces to resist the Green Gale Wind.

These three were all at the Resonant Stage; by joining forces, although it was still somewhat difficult, they managed to gradually stabilize their footing.

In contrast, Li Luo's trio appeared much more strained; after all, in terms of team composition, they were indeed much weaker.

If this continued, they might really not be able to hold out until they crossed the Green Gale Wind belt.

"Li Luo, what should we do?" Lu Qinger's pretty face was somewhat solemn; although she didn't have much interest in that Mountain-Visiting Token, she had wanted to bring Li Luo into the Golden Dragon Dojo to find some opportunities, but if they couldn't even get in, it would be a waste of a great chance.

Li Luo pondered slightly and said, "We are at a disadvantage because our resonant power is not as strong as others. I don't know how long this wind belt is; if the three of us consume too much resonant power, it will be extremely disadvantageous for us."

"This Green Gale Wind comes from the front; we cannot choose to share the burden like the others. It is best to have the person with the strongest defense in front, with the other two assisting from behind."

Then, both of their gazes simultaneously turned toward Qin Zhulu.

Qin Zhulu's face twitched; he possessed the Upper Eighth-Grade Gold-Devouring Demon Tiger Resonance, so his physical defense was naturally the strongest, so this "meat shield" role was practically meant for him.

However, Qin Zhulu was very capable of enduring hardship and considering the big picture, so he didn't say anything, silently taking a step forward and blocking the front like a meat shield.

"Little Lu is still very reliable," Li Luo praised.

Qin Zhulu glared at him: "Don't go giving me random nicknames! Hiss!"

Just as he finished speaking, the Green Gale Wind swept over, causing him to grimace and gasp in pain.

Lu Qinger reached out and pressed her hand against Qin Zhulu's back, her ice resonant power surging out: "Mystic Ice Armor!"

Immediately, cold air surged, forming an ice armor directly on the surface of Qin Zhulu's body, helping him weaken the damage caused by the Green Gale Wind.

Li Luo also smiled and reached out; he circulated the healing power within his own resonant power, quickly recovering the wind wounds on Qin Zhulu's body.

With the auxiliary support of the two, Qin Zhulu's spirits were immediately boosted; with a roar like thunder and a tiger's howl, his resonant power surged, his entire body expanded, golden tiger stripes appeared faintly on his skin, and an aura of ferocity rushed toward them.

Sizzle!

The Green Gale Wind landed on him again, but with the help of the ice armor and Li Luo's healing power, it was gradually resisted by Qin Zhulu.

Immediately, their speed of passage increased sharply.

Not far away, Ning Zhao, Zhu Xuan, and Lin Suo also sensed the speed of Li Luo's group and immediately cast surprised glances; they had originally thought that Li Luo's trio would be extremely disheveled in this wind belt, never expecting them to find such a clever way to resolve it so quickly.

Above the void, streaks of golden light continuously flashed past, finally gradually crossing the Green Gale Wind belt and falling into various parts of the now vast and boundless land.

Li Luo's group finally crossed the wind belt without incident, and then they sensed an attractive force coming from below; the Golden Dragon Secret Key in their hands emitted a pulling force, leading them to fall rapidly, and as space flickered, their feet landed on the hard ground.

Li Luo immediately looked around and discovered that they were in a deep mountain covered in ice and snow; the surrounding trees were all ice-crystal-like, emitting cold air.

"Is this the Golden Dragon Dojo?" The three of them looked around curiously.

"The energy of heaven and earth is so dense; it's much stronger than the outside world," Lu Qinger exclaimed after sensing the energy surging in the surroundings.

Li Luo nodded; the location they were in was only the outer perimeter of the Golden Dragon Dojo, yet the energy of heaven and earth was already this dense, showing that in the inner perimeter, the cultivation conditions would be even better.

It truly lived up to being a cultivation holy land built with the full effort of the Golden Dragon Dojo.

At this moment, Li Luo suddenly discovered that there was an extra object in his hand; spreading his palm, it was actually a short golden incense stick. Clearly, this should be the sacrificial item that Yu Hongxi had mentioned before; lighting this incense in front of certain sacrificial offerings would allow them to exchange for the so-called "Dojin" in this world.

"Alright, let's get started. Heading east, our goal is to explore for rare spiritual plants, hunt spirit beasts, earn Dojin, and then go to the Treasure Pool to exchange for treasures!" Li Luo waved his hand and said.

Lu Qinger puffed two breaths of white mist from her small mouth and said with a smile: "I wonder if this Dojin is easy to earn."

Her expression was exceptionally relaxed; this Golden Dragon Dojo was different from the Dark Cave—the scenery here was beautiful, and there were no annoying Otherkind. If not for Qin Zhulu, this would truly be a journey to look forward to.

Thud!

Just as her voice fell, something suddenly fell from above and happened to hit her on the head, causing Lu Qinger to let out an "ouch."

She hurriedly reached out to catch the thing that had rolled off her head; looking closely, it seemed to be a snow-white fruit, with faint patterns on it emitting a luster, and a strange, fragrant scent wafted out.

Lu Qinger held the strange fruit that had fallen on her head, stunned for a few seconds, and then asked Li Luo and Qin Zhulu: "Does this count as a rare spiritual plant?"

Li Luo and Qin Zhulu looked at the snow-white fruit in Lu Qinger's hand, exchanged glances, and said: "It looks a bit like one; why don't we try it?"

Afterward, they placed the snow-white fruit on the ground, simultaneously stuck the short golden incense in front of it, and lit it.

Golden smoke rose in spirals, circling around the snow-white fruit.

The next moment, the three of them watched in amazement as the snow-white fruit gradually became translucent, and finally, it simply disappeared into thin air.

At the same time, a hole shattered in the void in front of them, and four round gold coins, flashing with strange light, fell out from it and landed in front of the three.

Li Luo, Lu Qinger, and Qin Zhulu looked at these four special gold coins engraved with golden dragon patterns, which faintly emitted a peculiar charm, and couldn't help but fall into silence.

This Dojin... is it this simple?

Having gotten used to the difficulty of obtaining Dark Cave points, suddenly having it be this easy felt a bit hard to adapt to.
