Chapter 187 More Unfair

"My god! Why is his absorption speed so terrifying?"

"No need to guess. His realm is much higher than ours. Even the elder of the Divine Sword Hall is no match for him!"

"Darn it, can I still play? My absorption speed has been surpassed by the cultivator over there!"

"No wonder Qin Jun asked him to come over. We're done for!"

"Look, even Li Tongxuan's absorption speed is as slow as a turtle!"

Within a radius of a thousand kilometers centered around Li Yuanba, the cultivators were all cursing, especially the hundreds of cultivators near Li Yuanba, who could hardly absorb any spiritual energy from the dragon veins.

Among them was Li Tongxuan, who was known as the second strongest among the top ten geniuses, and even he looked extremely unsightly under the suppression.

"Damn it!"

Li Tongxuan cursed, but he couldn't bring himself to move to another place to fight for a spot, because it would be too embarrassing.

Most of the strong cultivators of the Southern Zhuo Dynasty were watching. He wanted to join the seven major sects, so he couldn't behave as arrogantly as Li Yuanba. After all, the Southern Zhuo Dynasty belonged to the righteous path, and most people pursued reputation and face.

However, the pillar of qi above Li Yuanba's head had already reached nearly twenty zhang, standing out conspicuously on the spacious square.

This scene left all the spectators speechless.

"Tsk tsk, His Highness is really cunning, deliberately sending Li Yuanba to the group of cultivators with the highest cultivation level."

Li Bai exclaimed excitedly, finding Qin Jun's move quite refreshing.

Even the likes of Tai Bai Jin Xing and others had strange smiles on their faces, probably driving the officials and warriors on the Luohuang and the Imperial Peak crazy.

They wanted to target Qin Jun, but ended up having their plans disrupted by him.

The strongest group of cultivators were eliminated in the first round, making this year's Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition likely to become a joke.

"I wonder how long Luohuang can endure..." Daji looked at Luohuang, who had an expressionless face, and shook her head with a smile.

Sha Wujing and Tai Bai Jin Xing had smiles on their faces, even feeling a sense of relief. Following a lord as cunning as Qin Jun, at least they were living a comfortable life.

If Qin Jun knew their evaluation, he would definitely be speechless.

Damn it!

What cunning!

Isn't this just being resourceful!

Meanwhile, the silver pillar of qi above Qin Jun's head had already surpassed a zhang, and the cultivators around him were immersed in their own cultivation state, not noticing Qin Jun's abnormality, although they could hear the commotion in the distance. They restrained themselves from being distracted.

"Hmph, playing against me, I'll let you know what it means to be outsmarted!"

Qin Jun thought smugly as he absorbed qi, not needing to open his eyes to know that Li Yuanba had started to suppress a large area.

Thinking this, he continued to operate the Purple Rainbow Thunder Technique. The dragon vein's spiritual energy was extremely rich and of a quality far beyond ordinary spiritual energy, so he enjoyed this process very much.

What was most peculiar was that he could clearly feel that the dragon vein's spiritual energy absorbed into his body did not leave his body. Why was there a pillar of qi above his head?

Could it be that there was a secret hidden beneath this square?

Just as Qin Jun was lost in thought, his Purple Rainbow Thunder Technique broke through the third level like a bamboo, and a strange memory quickly rushed into his mind, as he instinctively absorbed qi while comprehending this memory.

This was a spell, a spell inherent to each level of the Purple Rainbow Thunder Technique.

The third level, Thunder Summoning!

As the name suggests, it could summon thunder and lightning to attack the enemy, making it a mass-killing spell, which happened to compensate for Qin Jun's shortcomings.

Just as he was rejoicing, the silver pillar of qi above his head had reached three zhang in height.

Li Yuanba's red pillar of qi had also broken through fifty zhang, standing out among the tens of thousands of cultivators on the square.

The tens of thousands of cultivators around Li Yuanba were all suppressed within a radius of two zhang. Even Li Tongxuan, who was only second to Li Yuanba among the top ten geniuses, was only at two and a half zhang, a spectacle on the square.

"Darn it, can't absorb any dragon vein's spiritual energy at all!" Li Tongxuan cursed. Among the tens of thousands of cultivators, there were four others who were among the top ten geniuses, and their condition was similar to Li Tongxuan's, just slightly better because they were relatively farther away and less affected. However, the highest among them was only at three zhang.

In the remote area away from Li Yuanba, there were already people reaching five zhang, all of them Earthly Transformation realm cultivators.

"These two little guys are quite interesting."

On the Imperial Peak, Aowu Jian shook his head and smiled as he looked at the scene below, and the high-level members of the Cangyun Sect behind him all had strange expressions.

No wonder Aowu Jian held Qin Jun in such high regard. This guy could actually cleverly break Luohuang's rules for the martial arts competition.

They subconsciously looked up at Luohuang in the sky. Although he still had an expressionless face, they could all sense a hint of killing intent in Luohuang's eyes.

Clearly, Qin Jun had offended Luohuang's authority!

"This kid must die!" Luohuang secretly cursed. The rules he had set for the martial arts competition were obviously targeting Qin Jun, in order to limit him and make the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition fair. However, Qin Jun had made Li Yuanba do this, making the competition even more unfair.

In earthy terms, at this moment, Luohuang wanted to curse!

But he had to maintain the dignity of the Southern Zhuo Emperor and couldn't show any expression. The shadow in his heart was immeasurable.

Except for the Cangyun Sect, the high-level members of the other six major sects all watched this scene in silence. The strength of Li Yuanba and the intelligence of Qin Jun made them feel moved, but Qin Jun had already offended the Divine Sword Hall, equivalent to offending Luohuang. They didn't dare to show any favor towards Qin Jun like the Cangyun Sect did.

The heads of the six major sects were not as arrogant as Aowu Jian.

The head of the Divine Sword Hall was named Zhang Leiting, who seemed like an ordinary person but actually had profound cultivation and deep scheming, making him the strongest in the Divine Sword Hall.

"It seems that our Divine Sword Hall needs a thorough reorganization," Zhang Leiting murmured softly, and the elders behind him also showed regret, including Fei Yushu.

If Qin Jun and Li Yuanba had been nurtured by their Divine Sword Hall, perhaps they could have led the hall to greater heights, but unfortunately, they were forced into enemies by some selfish and greedy worms.

But now that things have come to this, they could only find a way to get rid of Qin Jun and Li Yuanba.

Because if the two of them were to grow, they would be a nightmare for the Divine Sword Hall.

...

Satisfied!

At this moment, Qin Jun only had one feeling in his heart, and even forgot about the Qi Pillar competition. He was completely immersed in the practice of absorbing spiritual energy.

The dragon vein's spiritual energy not only enhanced his Purple Rainbow Thunder Technique, but even his Indestructible Holy Body began to operate involuntarily.

It seemed that the dragon vein's spiritual energy was suitable for body refinement.

Since that was the case, Qin Jun wouldn't be polite. He crazily absorbed the dragon vein's spiritual energy at full throttle. His physical strength even surpassed many Transcendent Realm cultivators, so he wasn't afraid of exceeding the limits of his body.

In this way, the silver Qi Pillar above Qin Jun's head quickly rose, attracting the attention of many strong individuals on the Imperial Palace Peak.

"I didn't expect Qin Jun to be so extraordinary. His cultivation technique is probably of extremely high grade!"

Grand Marshal Zhou Liang sighed. He didn't dislike Qin Jun and Li Yuanba that much. In fact, he admired them. After investigating the situation, he found that Qin Jun had indeed acted justly. However, the younger generation of the Divine Sword Hall was too arrogant, and in their anger, they wanted to kill, causing a great disaster.

It's all about timing and fate.
