Chapter 697: Practicing the Dao

"Xu Jin, can we make a deal?

Later, when you fight Su Xuan of my Su clan, can you concede a little?

In the selection, you were first in two rounds; according to the rules, you can increase the Daoist treatment you enjoy by up to three ranks.

So even if you take third-rank or even fourth-rank Daoist treatment, you can still enjoy the highest first-rank Daoist treatment.

But my Su Xuan is a bit disappointing.

Only by getting second place, plus his additional reward for being in the top ten of the second round of the Daoist selection, can he possibly enjoy first-rank Daoist treatment.

But currently, it would be good to get third place.

But first-rank Daoist treatment is crucial.

The number of times to contemplate the Emperor's Dao Rule Secret Realm and the number of times to contemplate the True Person's Blood Crystal, even as the ruler of this star realm, I cannot transfer them privately.

Therefore, I am asking you for a favor with a thick skin.

Of course, it will not damage your actual rewards, but it will ultimately hinder your reputation and state of mind.

But please do me a favor for the sake of my request.

In the future, if you have any doubts in your cultivation, you can come to me.

Afterwards, I will give you a natal token of mine. In times of crisis, as long as it does not involve the Emperor, I can go all out to help you once."

In his mind, True Person Commander Tian Zhang transmitted his voice to Xu Jin, unhurriedly, explaining the cause and effect and the request, without using his power to suppress others.

But Xu Jin understood that this was a transaction in a different form.

The price of the transaction was called: True Person Commander Tian Zhang's friendship!

Although True Person Commander Tian Zhang did not mention any consequences if Xu Jin refused.

But as long as one was not stupid, one understood the consequences of refusal.

Not to mention agreeing to True Person Commander Tian Zhang's request without any loss, even if there was a loss, as long as the loss was within an acceptable range, one had to accept it.

Converting it, True Person Commander Tian Zhang's status in Xu Jin's previous life was approximately equal to: Empire Speaker + Conglomerate Head + Principal + Class Teacher + Doctoral Supervisor + Boss of both black and white paths.

Approximately equal to Xu Jin's future and life being in the hands of this person.

The logic was the logic, but the process of making this request made Xu Jin feel very comfortable.

This transaction must be accepted!

【Pity the parents of the world! The True Person is painstaking for the sake of his descendants, and the junior admires him!

True Person, don't worry, I know what to do.】

Xu Jin did not know where True Person Commander Tian Zhang was and could not transmit his voice, so he could only use the Emperor Dongxuan Token to send a star light message.

In the void, True Person Commander Tian Zhang looked at the star light message sent by Xu Jin, and his heart suddenly warmed. For a moment, he felt that his painstaking efforts were understood.

He had truly racked his brains for the Su family and for his descendants.

Even so, he had not told Su Xuan about this in advance.

For a moment, his gaze towards Xu Jin became a bit different.

"Sigh, if only that kid of mine was as sensible as you." True Person Commander Tian Zhang sighed.

Xu Jin naturally would not and could not take this topic, and this matter was settled.

Two quarter-hours later, the ranking battle continued.

"Third match, Su Xuan versus Xu Jin."

Almost the moment Tianyang Xingjun Liuhuo's words rang out, Xu Jin felt a gaze like substance coming from the clouds, staring at him.

Xu Jin understood that this was True Person Commander Tian Zhang's gaze, and even more so, a reminder.

Sure enough, no matter how beautiful the words were, it still depended on actual actions.

The next moment, Xu Jin stepped onto the void arena, and Su Xuan was already standing opposite Xu Jin.

The gazes from all directions gathered again, and Yuan Chengfa was staring at the void arena with burning eyes.

His goal was first place.

Regardless of the treatment, he just wanted to take first place.

Su Xuan had already lost, and Yuan Luzhen was not his opponent at all. The only one who could threaten his first place was Xu Jin.

He knew other opponents, such as Su Xuan and others, like the back of his hand.

But only Xu Jin, he knew very little about.

He believed that the battle between Xu Jin and Su Xuan would inevitably show most of his strength, which was a good opportunity for him to understand Xu Jin's strength.

"Su Xuan!"

"Xu Jin!"

The moment the star light of the substitute command token fell, the battle between the two began.

As soon as Su Xuan made a move, he used all his strength.

The golden crow phantom appeared, and the torrent of red flames rushed over.

Xu Jin, however, disappeared on the spot in an instant.

The next moment, the green giant tree phantom suddenly appeared, directly shaking the void violently; it was Su Xuan who had briefly sealed the void.

At the same time, Xu Jin followed the established strategy to throw the match.

Throwing a match was also a technical job.

If it was too obvious, there would be public discussion, which would be counterproductive.

But for Xu Jin, if he really wanted to throw the match, he could do it without anyone knowing.

Just don't stimulate the blessing of the origin star of the Arena of Contention.

Use all other star arts as much as possible.

Under these circumstances, Xu Jin and Su Xuan fought back and forth, thrillingly.

Void, Space Flash Ice Mark, Star Shatter, Space Teleportation, Lei Yu, Nine Heavens Thunder Duke Seal, Xu Jin used all the means he could use, and also posed a certain threat to Su Xuan, but Su Xuan was still able to resolve them.

The more they fought, the more confident Su Xuan became, and his killer moves became more and more fierce!

The moment the natal spirit treasure Jin Wu Fan appeared, raging heavenly fire ignited in all directions, and the entire void arena fluctuated because of it, and at the same time, it directly caused Xu Jin's space teleportation star art to lose its use.

But the next moment, the heavenly fire in front of Xu Jin disappeared out of thin air.

It was Xu Jin using the Void star art for defense.

But at the same time, Su Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and almost in an instant, a bright green star light bloomed at Xu Jin's feet, and thousands of branches like tentacles caged towards Xu Jin.

Boom!

The Five Elements Divine Thunder struck down, and only a small part of this tentacle-like greenness dissipated.

"My natal spirit treasure, how can you shatter it!"

Su Xuan laughed loudly, and the greenness that had grown into a towering tree and trapped Xu Jin changed color slightly, instantly melting into the heavenly fire. The heavenly fire crackled and exploded, its power directly doubled, instantly swallowing Xu Jin.

The moment he was swallowed by the fire light, Xu Jin's divine sense suddenly withdrew from the Nine Heavens Thunder Duke Seal.

Originally, he was going to cast the Lei Yu star art on himself, using offense as defense, which could break this desperate kill.

But before triggering it, he changed his mind; it was better to throw the match smoothly.

He felt that Su Xuan had already exerted 80% to 90% of his strength, and at most he had the ability to fight for his life that he had not used.

He had already promised True Person Commander Tian Zhang to throw the match, so don't force Su Xuan to fight for his life!

The next moment, the brilliance of the substitute command token rose, and Xu Jin had already appeared on the ground.

"Su Xuan wins!"

On the void arena, Su Xuan first waved hard at his little sister Su Lingluo, then looked at the void, his face full of joy and relaxation.

His goal was basically achieved.

Below the arena, Yuan Chengfa frowned slightly.

Su Xuan winning this battle was within reason, but it always felt strange.

After all, in the previous arena battles, Xu Jin's performance was as outstanding as his.

"Thank you, if you have anything in the future, just contact me."

The moment Xu Jin was eliminated and landed, True Person Commander Tian Zhang's transmission appeared in Xu Jin's ears again.

Hearing this, Xu Jin was completely relieved.

Although he lost his ranking by throwing the match, his interests were not damaged, but he gained the friendship of True Person Commander Tian Zhang.

But the real gain was that Xu Jin completely solved the hidden danger of his identity.

With True Person Commander Tian Zhang's endorsement and support behind him, unless someone produced ironclad evidence, Xu Jin's identity would never be a problem.

In the future, after a period of time, if Xu Jin deepened his bond with True Person Commander Tian Zhang, if Xu Jin's identity problem was really found out to be a small problem, then True Person Commander Tian Zhang would not only not trouble Xu Jin, but would also find a way to solve the problem for Xu Jin. In other words, from today on, Xu Jin could safely follow the plan of his master, Emperor Fenghua, to fleece the wool.

Identity, already double-insured!

At the same time, he would gain more convenience within the Emperor Dongxuan Dao Palace.

"Brother-in-law, it doesn't matter if you lose, you are already powerful enough! And, with your previous performance, first-rank Daoist treatment is still there." Prince Yutang Zhu Shizhen saw Xu Jin silent and thought Xu Jin was in a bad mood because he lost, so he offered comfort at the first opportunity.

It was warm enough!

The fourth battle was the battle between Yuan Chengfa and Yuan Luzhen.

There was not much suspense in this battle.

Yuan Luzhen couldn't even beat Xu Jin, let alone Yuan Chengfa.

What's more, Yuan Luzhen was injured during his battle with Xu Jin earlier.

So in this battle with Yuan Chengfa, he lost even faster.

Yuan Chengfa didn't talk nonsense either, both natal spirit treasures came out, and within five breaths, he blasted Yuan Luzhen off the void arena.

Because the violent attack exceeded the critical value of the substitute command token's protection in an instant, Yuan Luzhen was injured again.

This made Xu Jin thoughtful?

This result was extremely favorable to Su Xuan?

Could this also be True Person Commander Tian Zhang's arrangement?

But after thinking about it, Xu Jin shook his head.

Unlikely.

Among the four True Person mansions, except for the declining Yutang True Person mansion, the price True Person Commander Tian Zhang would have to pay to get the other two to help was extraordinary.

It was not something that mere friendship could manage.

Moreover, Su Xuan's winning rate against Yuan Luzhen was still very high.

Two quarter-hours later, on the void arena, it was once again the focus of everyone's attention.

Even many Daoists who were injured and recuperating came out to watch this battle.

This battle would determine who was first.

If Yuan Chengfa won, then Yuan Chengfa was first.

If he lost.

Then there might have to be a playoff!

"Brother Xu, I heard that Brother Xu killed the Mother Gu, and I have been looking forward to a battle, until today, I finally got my wish!

I hope Brother Xu will go all out and grant me a defeat!" Yuan Chengfa bowed to Xu Jin.

Hearing this, Xu Jin smiled, "I will do my best!"

"It is to go all out!" Yuan Chengfa bowed again, "Since I started cultivating, thirty years have passed, and for thirty years, I have been invincible among my peers, invincible among my tier, invincible among my realm!

It has made my heart of hard cultivation slack!

Now, I only seek a defeat!"

Hearing this, Xu Jin also looked serious, "I will definitely go all out!"

Because it was a decisive battle between top Daoists, Tianyang Xingjun Liuhuo was not in a hurry to start. After the two finished talking, he lowered the substitute command token and at the same time removed the invisible barrier between the two!

Almost at the same moment, Xu Jin and Yuan Chengfa moved at the same time.

Silver star light and fire light rose at the same time.

In the sky, star light swayed down.

As soon as he made a move, he used all his strength!

And as soon as Xu Jin made a move, he forced Yuan Chengfa's earth-type natal spirit treasure to retreat for defense, but his Seven-Treasure Lotus Lamp instantly shone brightly, the purple black lotus appeared instantly, crazily breeding huge flame lotus leaves, and then surrounded Xu Jin in a sky-covering manner.

Intending to refine Xu Jin at the first moment!

The moment the spatial fluctuation rose, Xu Jin had already appeared in another direction of the arena, and the Nine Heavens Thunder Duke Seal shone brightly!

Lei Yu!

The moment he was covered by the Lei Yu, Yuan Chengfa was also terrified.

Both natal spirit treasures were stimulated at the same time, only then did he get rid of Xu Jin's Lei Yu.

But at the same moment, Yuan Chengfa's expression changed again.

He saw Xu Jin point lightly with his finger, and wind wings appeared behind Yuan Chengfa, and his whole person moved on the arena like a phantom, leaving a string of afterimages in place.

This was the suggestion given by their family's True Person Yuanling.

True Person Yuanling saw at a glance that Xu Jin's Star Shatter star art shattered space.

And whether it was a person or a star art, space was the foundation of dependence.

Shattering space was damage.

But because the lethality was explosive at a point.

So moving at high speed could break this star art!

However, as the deducer of this art, how could Xu Jin not know the shortcomings of this art.

The next moment, the Space Cage suddenly appeared, directly binding Yuan Chengfa in place, and he pointed a finger again.

Yuan Chengfa's Seven-Treasure Lotus Lamp opened all seven petals at this moment, and the terrifying flames directly shattered Xu Jin's Space Cage.

Flash move before Star Shatter erupts!

But just after the flash move, the Lei Yu would trap him again!

Breaking the Lei Yu was harder than breaking the Space Cage!

Yuan Chengfa's other natal spirit treasure soared into the sky in an instant, surging hundreds of meters, directly shattering the Lei Yu with his natal spirit treasure.

The Seven-Treasure Lotus Lamp moved, and just as Yuan Chengfa was about to counterattack, Star Shatter arrived again.

Yuan Chengfa fled in embarrassment again!

For a time, Yuan Chengfa was chased and killed by Xu Jin in embarrassment, but because he constantly cast fire-type star arts, there were flames everywhere on the entire practice arena!

Xu Jin sneered when he saw this!

He had already sensed the special power hidden in these residual flames, and in those flames, faint and extremely weak divine soul fluctuations were emitted.

It should be one of Yuan Chengfa's explosive means!

A few breaths later, on the arena, there were flames everywhere.

Yuan Chengfa felt it was about enough.

His embarrassed fleeing figure stopped instantly, and the mountain-like natal spirit treasure exploded with seven Dao rule brilliance, instantly suppressing and trapping Xu Jin in place.

At the same time, the Seven-Treasure Lotus Lamp opened all seven petals instantly, and the flame light instantly triggered the dozens of flame seeds he had left behind earlier.

With just one thought, those flame seeds of his could bloom like a lotus platform, and then explode at the same time, bombarding Xu Jin one after another.

But just at the moment when all seven petals were fully opened, a majestic divine soul storm swayed out like mercury pouring onto the ground.

It did not cause any impact on Yuan Chengfa, but it swept away all the divine sense imprints in the flame seeds he left behind.

It went empty in an instant.

Yuan Chengfa's attack appeared with a gap.

A point of star light fell from the sky without any warning.

It fell towards Yuan Chengfa with rolling giant power like lightning.

Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower!

In an instant, Yuan Chengfa was like Xu Jin who was suppressed by his natal spirit treasure, suppressed on the spot by the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower, and for a time, he could not move.

At the same moment, Xu Jin pointed lightly!

Yuan Chengfa's face changed.

This finger could not be avoided!

But in his eyes, a look of admiration appeared, "This battle is also worth it!"

Almost at the same time, a flame phantom suddenly appeared in Yuan Chengfa's body, and the flame phantom expanded instantly, rushing towards Xu Jin.

Like a river of fire, one after another real flame Dao rules appeared, instantly rushing towards Xu Jin like a flame heavenly road.

The first to bear the brunt was Xu Jin's Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower.

Under the impact of this flame heavenly road, layer after layer of real flame Dao rules washed over it, directly shaking Xu Jin's Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower away.

In just an instant, this flame heavenly road rushed in front of Xu Jin.

The thunder fully stimulated bombarded down, but it only slightly delayed the speed at which this flame heavenly road swallowed Xu Jin.

At the same moment, the fire-type origin star on Xu Jin's Arena of Contention shone brightly, and began to crazily extract the star power in his body.

Xu Jin was also encountering this situation for the first time, and his reaction was a bit slow for a moment before he began to inject star power into the fire-type origin star.

The flame heavenly road had already rolled Xu Jin into the center out of thin air.

At the same moment, the star power in Xu Jin's body was instantly drained by the fire-type origin star.

The fire-type origin star just sank, and Xu Jin found that the flame light on Yuan Chengfa's flame heavenly road began to slow down rapidly.

But it was too late.

The various flame Dao rules on Yuan Chengfa's flame heavenly road had already burned through Xu Jin's Ice Wood Thunder Armor at the first moment.

Before the flame light burned his body, the substitute command token was activated!

At the same moment, below the arena, exclamations resounded!

"Practicing the Dao!"

"Yuan Chengfa actually practiced the Dao!"

"My god, only in the late ninth tier, and he has already practiced the Dao first. His cultivation has not reached it, but his realm is already a Small Tianyang Xingjun!"
