"Disciple of Chang Wu of Pudu Temple, breaks through today!"

When hearing Ming Qi say this sentence, Li Fei was stunned on the spot.

This made him think of Hao Yi immediately!

Back in the archives of Wu'an University, Li Fei saw Hao Yi's "glorious years" back then:

Breaking through to the Dao Foundation stage at twenty, already at the peak of the Dao Foundation stage at twenty-three, constructing the foundation of the martial path, and only twenty-five when breaking through to the realm of Martial Arts Master!

That is to say, if Hao Yi hadn't been disturbed when breaking through back then, he should have been the one to break the historical record.

And his record would be earlier than Ming Qi's record today—a 25-year-old Martial Arts Master!

Unfortunately, once missed, it was more than thirty years of obscurity, and even after death, he still had to bear a bad name.

Ming Qi "competing for fame" for his master, making him leave a name in history, made Li Fei have many thoughts for a while, with many ideas.

A person's death is divided into two stages:

The first stage is physical death.

The second stage is spiritual death, which is when no one remembers him and everything related to him.

For Li Fei, Hao Yi and Shangguan Xiao will always live in his heart, because he will never forget!

But just him alone not forgetting, he felt it was not enough.

"Let the world know, let future generations remember!"

At this moment, Li Fei's eyes were bright, inspired by Ming Qi, and his heart's power boiled like never before!

The growth of an implant is affected by the martial artist's heart's power, which is why there is the cultivation method of "breaking the heart barrier."

When a martial artist's emotions fluctuate violently and their state of mind is strongly affected, it is possible to trigger a certain opportunity, thereby allowing the implant to grow rapidly.

At this moment, the 【Flame Core】 in Li Fei's body, which was still in the middle stage of Broken Body, was stimulated and grew rapidly!

"Good!"

On the main viewing platform, the Crown Prince stood up and applauded with a laugh.

He originally thought that today's plan would go wrong, but he didn't expect the final result to be much better than he expected!

This made him forgive Ming Qi's "recklessness."

"Unexpectedly, I can witness history with my own eyes today! Master Ming Qi stepped into the realm of Martial Arts Master at 26, and being able to witness the birth of a first in history is not in vain for my trip!"

The Crown Prince said with a smile.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is right, I didn't expect us to witness history with our own eyes today, it is really not in vain."

Inspector Zhu Yue on the side spoke first.

"Yes, yes."

"It is truly a fortunate event."

"..."

The other officials also echoed.

The tens of thousands of spectators at the scene heard this, and the resentment caused by not seeing the final was also dissipated a lot.

Some people started to applaud, and finally it turned into tens of thousands of people applauding together.

Just amidst the enthusiastic applause of the whole venue, a fire-red aura suddenly surged out of Li Fei's body, who had been standing quietly on the sidelines.

This aura wrapped his whole body, making him look like a human torch that had been ignited!

"This is?"

"Fire-attribute Innate Qi?"

"He has already completed the second 'Return to One' and incorporated the third type of implant?!"

"Is this breaking through?!"

"..."

Everyone's attention was quickly attracted by Li Fei's anomaly, especially the martial artists, all of whom showed expressions of astonishment, not inferior at all to seeing Ming Qi break through just now!

You know, Li Fei is only 18 years old this year.

An 18-year-old Dao Foundation stage, and one who has already incorporated three types of implants, and all have cultivated Innate Qi!

This speed is too terrifying!

After the other seven peerless geniuses broke through to the Dao Foundation stage, they all broke through at a speed of incorporating one new implant per year.

This "incorporation" refers to practicing the implant to the Qi Transformation stage and stimulating the core-level extraordinary ability.

Li Fei had just broken through to the Dao Foundation stage four months ago, which means he only spent four months to complete the full incorporation of a new implant, and also practiced the third implant to the Qi Transformation stage.

This speed was more than three times faster than the other peerless geniuses!

Comparing like this, putting Li Fei and the other seven together as peerless geniuses is a bit too unfair to him...

"Perhaps the record that Ming Qi just broke will not be kept for a few years before being broken by Li Fei again, right?"

At this moment, many martial artists present had such thoughts in their hearts.

Li Fei didn't know that he had also brought huge shock to everyone present; he just slowly calmed his state of mind.

Opportunities like this are hard to come by, and he didn't expect that he would break through in such a way.

The Innate Qi cultivated by 【Flame Core】 is Bing Fire Profound Qi.

Bing Fire belongs to Yang, and the characteristic of Profound Qi is changeability.

Martial artists who practice Bing Fire Profound Qi are usually considered experts at "playing with fire."

The "Heaven and Earth One Blade" that Hao Yi finally taught Li Fei is to construct a world of fire with fire-attribute force.

Even if this world is an illusion, it is real within the void, so it requires the force to be complex and changeable.

Bing Fire Profound Qi just meets this requirement.

With Bing Fire Profound Qi, Li Fei can not only practice the high-level force unique to 【Mixed Origin Heavenly Gold】, but also truly start practicing "Heaven and Earth One Blade"!

He converged the Bing Fire Profound Qi on his body surface into his body, just in time to see Ming Qi looking at him.

Nodding to Ming Qi, Li Fei showed a smile.

Because of today's incident, he felt good about this Buddhist son.

"Amitabha, Benefactor Li, the championship is yours."

Ming Qi said to Li Fei, then stepped off the competition venue.

Until this time, the referee on the sidelines reacted and announced loudly:

"Li Fei of Wu'an University, wins!"

"In this Martial Arts Exchange Tournament, Li Fei of Wu'an University wins the championship!"

As the referee's voice fell, enthusiastic applause rang out again in the venue.

Although Li Fei won without a fight, no one felt that he was not worthy of this championship.

Breaking into the final at the age of 18, incredibly defeating Gan Jingcheng, who was 7 years older than him and had a much higher realm.

Such a performance is worthy of this championship!

And the martial artists present, after witnessing Li Fei break through on the spot, felt in their hearts that the gold content of this "first in history" was higher than Ming Qi's new "first in history"!

Next is the final award ceremony.

The staff quickly built a temporary podium in the center of the competition venue.

"Please invite the top three of this tournament to take the stage to receive the awards!"

So Li Fei, Ming Qi, and Ning Chuan walked into the competition venue again and climbed onto the circular podium together.

Li Fei stood in the middle, with Ming Qi and Ning Chuan on his left and right.

"Please invite the President of Tianqu University, Grandmaster Qi Zhou, to present the award to the third place of this tournament!"

Qi Zhou entered the venue, followed by a staff member.

He came to Ning Chuan, took a wooden box from the staff member behind him, and handed it to Ning Chuan.

The reward for third place is a level 5 protective suit, and also a prize of 200,000 yuan!

"Please invite Inspector Zhu Yue of Cang Province to present the award to the second place of this tournament!"

After Qi Zhou finished presenting the award, Inspector Zhu Yue quickly took the stage and gave the prize to Ming Qi.

The prize for second place is a level 5 protective suit and a customizable level 4 exotic weapon, also with a prize of 200,000 yuan.

A level 4 exotic weapon is not too precious for a Dao Foundation stage powerhouse; what is truly precious is the word "customizable."

A level 4 exotic weapon tailored by a master might even be able to exert a martial artist's strength better than a level 5 exotic weapon.

"Finally, please invite His Highness the Crown Prince to present the award to the first place of this tournament!"

The Crown Prince walked onto the podium with a smile, followed by the eunuch with the strength of a Grandmaster.

The reward for first place is a level 5 protective suit and a customizable level 5 exotic weapon, and a prize of 500,000 yuan.

The Crown Prince took a wooden box from the hands of the Grandmaster eunuch behind him, handed it to Li Fei, and then patted Li Fei's arm hard:

"Not bad, I didn't misjudge the person!"

Back then on Daluo Peak, he said in public that he was optimistic about Li Fei winning the championship in this tournament and placed a heavy stake.

Actually, he just wanted to use the "Jin Gang Eight Parts" in the palace to win over Li Fei, this first in history.

Unexpectedly, Li Fei actually won the championship.

"I am fortunate not to fail the mission."

Li Fei said to the Crown Prince neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Hahahaha."

His Highness the Crown Prince let out a hearty laugh.

He looked at Li Fei: "Good! The 'Jin Gang Eight Parts' I promised to give you, and taking you into the palace to meet the Emperor, nothing will be missing!"

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Fei bowed to the Crown Prince.

Actually, if possible, he really wanted to ask if he could change the opportunity to meet the Emperor in the palace into another "Jin Gang Eight Parts"...

Of course, this kind of thing can only be thought about in the heart; saying it out loud would be too rebellious.

After the Crown Prince finished presenting the award, he stood beside Li Fei, facing the front with Ming Qi and Ning Chuan.

A row of cameras were placed there, flashing dazzling light continuously.

On the podium, the Crown Prince was smiling, affectionately holding Li Fei and Ming Qi on his left and right.

Click—

The picture froze.

46th year of Hongguang, September 24th.

The 2nd Martial Arts Exchange Tournament, Li Fei wins the championship!

After the award ceremony ended, the Crown Prince did not leave the stage immediately, and Li Fei and others could only continue to stand on the stage.

The Crown Prince took a step forward and walked to the microphone standing upright:

"Everyone, this martial arts tournament let me see the talents of thirteen universities, the three Daoist sects, and Pudu Temple. Among them, the performance of Pudu Temple was particularly surprising to me, achieving very outstanding results!"

In the top 16 of this tournament, Pudu Temple occupied a total of 5 spots, which can indeed be said to be outstanding results, ranking first in comprehensive results.

Although Ming Qi failed to win the championship in the end, he became the new "first in history" and became a Martial Arts Master, which is even more dazzling than the championship!

"I am thinking, for an excellent sect like Pudu Temple, shouldn't we give more opportunities so that they can also serve the country?"

The Crown Prince continued.

Hearing this, the people of the three Daoist sects on the main viewing platform changed color in unison!

The struggle between Buddhism and Daoism is not only about reputation, the number of believers, but also about the influence they hold.

Because the path of sorcery originated from both Buddhism and Daoism, the sorcery of various schools and sects today is more or less related to Buddhism and Daoism.

In the cabinet of the Great Lan Dynasty, there is the Zhengfa Pavilion, and the pavilion master is a True Monarch of the current age, and also the National Teacher of the current dynasty.

According to the apprenticeship, this National Teacher has to call True Monarch Qing Xu of the Daluo Sect "Uncle Master"!

This is the relationship between Daoism and the Great Lan Dynasty.

Before the Taizu Emperor created the Great Lan Dynasty, he relied heavily on the power of Daoism, and the Imperial Camp Army that swept the world was initially built for him by Daoism!

So after the Great Lan Dynasty unified the Eastern Continent, the entire Eastern Continent began to "suppress Buddhism and respect Daoism."

Daoism also began to integrate into the Great Lan Dynasty from that time.

The pavilion master of the Zhengfa Pavilion was initially held by the sect masters of the three Daoist sects in turns.

The Zhengfa Courts in various places were also mostly participated in by Daoist disciples, possessing absolute right to speak.

More than a hundred years ago, Emperor Wencheng even intended to "exterminate Buddhism," and this naturally could not be separated from the influence of Daoism.

It was only in the last few decades, especially after the current Emperor ascended the throne, that the influence of the three Daoist sects gradually diminished, there were fewer and fewer Daoist disciples in the Zhengfa Courts in various places, and the pavilion master of the Zhengfa Pavilion was no longer held by the sect masters of the three Daoist sects.

Although the current National Teacher has to call True Monarch Qing Xu "Uncle Master," he is an absolute "Emperor Party" and has long since completely broken away from the Daoist lineage.

But in any case, Daoism is still the prominent school of the Great Lan Dynasty and possesses huge influence in the Great Lan Dynasty.

As a result, no one expected that the Crown Prince of the current dynasty would publicly declare that he wanted to give Pudu Temple more opportunities to serve the country?!

"Seeing Master Ming Qi break history today and become the youngest Martial Arts Master in history, I am overjoyed, and decided to take Master Ming Qi back to Lanling City to meet the Emperor, and personally ask the Emperor to let Pudu Temple have more opportunities to serve the country."

Under the sunlight, His Highness the Crown Prince said loudly.

At this moment, the sky was high and the clouds were wide, and a wind flew over the heads of everyone.
