"Brother Lu really made a breakthrough!"
Compared to the shock of others, Wu Zhenqiong was more happy than surprised.
After all, this means that Lu Lan is probably one step closer to the Nine Dragons Zizhu.
As a friend, he was happy for Lu Lan from the bottom of his heart.
Feeling the aura fluctuations coming from the room, even Zhan Xuanyuan was quite surprised that Lu Lan could really make a breakthrough.
He didn't think Lu Lan could break through in such a short period of time.
In the end, who knew that this guy had been tinkering with the treasures found in the ancient secret territory in just a few days, and refined them into various elixirs.
Not only that, but the key is that this guy is incredibly efficient at making elixirs, and there are no mistakes!
Moreover, the ones he refined were all elixirs that he had almost never heard of.
If he hadn't vowed never to refine medicine again, Zhan Xuanyuan might have gone back to his former self in the Medicine God Sect and asked him how he did it.
But he didn't expect that Lu Lan would successfully break through with these pills...
Soon, the door was opened.
Lu Lan's figure appeared in front of everyone.
Dressed in white, handsome and unrestrained.
Some women from the Wu family couldn't help but stare blankly.
"Brother Wu is here...is today the day to participate in the Yuanling Martial Arts Association?"
Lu Lan asked aloud.
"Well, these are the contestants sent by our martial arts family to participate in the Yuanling Martial Arts Tournament."
Wu Zhenqiong explained, then smiled sincerely:
"I didn't expect Brother Lu to be so talented. Not long after he came out of the Tiangu Secret Realm, he successfully broke through again."
"You're not bad either. You're already at the peak of the ninth level of the Xuanfu Realm... you're only one step away from breaking through to the Xuantian Realm."
Lu Lan smiled.
The original Wu Zhenqiong was at the seventh level of Xuanfu Realm, which was only a small level lower than Fang Yunqi.
Now he has surpassed him and reached the peak of the Xuanfu realm.
It is estimated that he is now the strongest among the younger generation in Yuanling City besides the Yuan family.
"Hehe, it's mainly because of my father's help, plus the things I got in the secret realm... that it became like this."
"Brother Wu Yun has also improved a lot, reaching the eighth level of Xuanfu Realm."
Lu Lan glanced at Wu Yun, nodded with a smile, and said:
"It seems that this is the fate of your Wu family, and you can't even hide from it."
Soon, Wu Zhenqiong picked up Lu Lan and the other two, and took all the contestants from the Wu family to the gate of Wu Mansion to meet Wu Tianqing.
Seeing Lu Lan and sensing his aura, Wu Tianqing showed a surprised expression as expected.
Soon, he smiled and said:
"Congratulations, Mr. Lu, for being able to successfully break through before the Yuanling Martial Arts Tournament begins."
"This is all thanks to Master Wu for providing such a good environment."
The two of them were polite to each other, and those who didn't know it thought that these two were friends who had been together for a long time.
"By the way, I'm still not sure what the competition system of the Yuanling Martial Arts Association is like. Can you tell me again?"
On the way to the arena, Lu Lan sat in the same carriage as Wu Zhenqiong and asked Wu Zhenqiong.
Wu Zhenqiong naturally wouldn't find it troublesome.
Soon, through his narration, Lu Lan learned what the competition system of the Yuanling Martial Arts Association was like.
The first is that the Yuan family, as the host of the Yuanling Martial Arts Association, can accept challenges from any party.
However, this "any party" can only be the major forces in Yuanling City.
Therefore, those ranking rewards can only be distributed to the major forces in Yuanling City.
After the Yuan family and the major forces in Yuanling City decided on the rankings, it was the turn of the mysterious practitioners from the major forces outside Yuanling City to challenge.
Although the mysterious practitioners outside Yuanling City will not receive rewards from the Yuanling Martial Arts Association, if they win, it will be equivalent to making their own reputation.
Even if he loses, not many people will laugh at him.
After all, this is Yuanling City, a place where the strong are respected.
Being defeated by someone stronger than you is a matter of course in the eyes of the people in Yuanling City.
"What about the rewards this time? Apart from the first place Jiulong Zizhu, what else is there?"
Lu Lan asked curiously.
Speaking of this, Wu Yun on the side said:
"I remember that the reward for second place was a pair of heavy armor, called the Golden Rock Dragon Beast Armor. It has a very strong defensive power. If a practitioner of body refining can get it, its effectiveness will be enhanced."
"The third place is..."
In fact, after hearing about the reward for second place, Lu Lan was obviously not very interested in the subsequent rewards.
Because he had heard of the Golden Rock Dragon Beast Armor.
The materials used to make this armor are quite valuable and have extremely strong defensive properties.
If you can take it and melt it, then smelt it again into the Ba Xuan Giant Sword.
I believe that the power that the Baxuan Giant Sword can unleash will go even further.
But that's the reward for second place. If he can win first place by then, he probably won't get it.
Although he might not be able to get the heavy armor, Lu Lan would not be disappointed. After all, his main target was the Nine Dragon Purple Bamboo.
By improving his own strength, he can still increase the power released by the Ba Xuan Giant Sword a lot.
Soon, the arena is in front of you.
After the group got off the carriage and entered the arena, they could hear the bustling discussions around them and feel the uninterrupted gazes.
Lu Lan even heard that some people who had met him and Song Yulin were wondering why he had come to the Wu family again.
Lu Lanhun didn't care at first, but until he felt someone staring at him with a sinister look.
He immediately looked up.
It is Fu Changjun of the Fu family!
At this moment, he was sitting on the high platform specially arranged by the Yuan family for the other four aristocratic families, watching him coldly.
Even if he was discovered by Lu Lan, he did not change his gaze.
Next to him was Fu Yunqing, who had met Lu Lan before.
"Oh, we are really enemies on the same road."
Lu Lan chuckled.
"Huh? Brother Lu, what did you say?"
Wu Zhenqiong didn't hear clearly and asked aloud.
"Nothing, the martial arts meeting will start soon, right?"
"Well, let's go over there first. That's where our Wu family is."
Soon, in the arena, in addition to the five major families of Cangshen Kingdom, more and more major forces in Yuanling City arrived.
However, in Yuanling City, the three major families recognized under the Yuan family, in addition to the Song family and the Wu family, were present. The Fang family, recognized as the second largest family in Yuanling City, has been slow to come.
On the high platform of the Yuan family.
"What's going on? Don't the Fang family plan to come?"
Yuan Wuwei, the current head of the Yuan family, frowned, his tone obviously displeased.
In the past, even if they didn't come, they would tell them in advance, but now they don't even tell them in advance. It's like the Fang family can come if they want, but not if they don't.
"I heard that something big happened inside the Fang family, and it's a mess now."
The elder of the Yuan family standing next to him said:
"In my opinion, they probably don't have the intention to participate in the Yuanling Martial Arts Tournament... It's better to just announce their absence... Maybe without them, more people will want to go to the arena to show off their skills."
Yuan Wuwei thought for a moment and nodded.
Then, he stood up from his seat and concentrated his energy to amplify:
"Due to the late arrival of the Fang family, the head of this family now declares that the Fang family is absent from this Yuanling Martial Arts Tournament, and treats them as voluntarily giving up their qualifications."
"Now, the Yuanling Martial Arts Association... begins immediately!"
