He was prepared to only use the sixteen meridians that all practitioners have at most, which seemed a bit frustrating for Xiaolong.
As a person born with thirty-two meridians, even if half of them are hidden and only sixteen meridians are used, he will be much stronger than the same practitioners because of his high basic foundation.
In this aspect, Yu Xiaolong has a great advantage.
However, in this competition, there were many experts in the audience, so it was easy to spot clues.
To be on the safe side, Yu Xiaolong completely shielded sixteen of the veins so that the breath could not pass through, preventing him from being able to use them.
Master Fan Qing and Long Ximen had both told him how to block the veins, but Yu Xiaolong had never tried it yet.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he decided to temporarily block it, all in order to cover up others' eyes and ears, and for his own low profile and safety.
However, blocking the veins takes time. According to his current ability, it will take at least ten minutes to completely block the sixteen veins.
On the contrary, if you want to remove the shield, it will take twice as long, which is twenty minutes.
Shielding is easy to do and the time can be ignored.
However, it took twenty minutes to recover, which made Yu Xiaolong depressed.
It's just a competition, there isn't much danger involved. What if you encounter a real life and death fight? Not to mention twenty minutes, even two seconds, you may be killed by the other party.
Yu Xiaolong was thinking about messy things, and he couldn't be calm even while practicing.
After dilly-dallying for a long time, I still feel that playing it safe should be the priority.
It's not too embarrassing to lose the game, and there is still a lot of meat. If one's true identity is exposed, there will be endless troubles.
Therefore, it is better to shield the sixteen meridians, and the medicine is thorough.
Yu Xiaolong slowly adjusted the flow of his breath, gradually controlled the smooth flow of all the veins, and gradually blocked the sixteen veins.
Now, except for a few top experts, no one will know the secret of his heaven-defying connections.
The aura that was originally filled with thirty-two veins now travels in sixteen veins, which seems extremely crowded. The veins are inflated like a balloon that has reached its limit.
Yu Xiaolong felt as if he was holding back a breath that would burst out at any time.
He worked hard to calm down the aura and slowly stabilize it. With no choice but to increase the density, he gradually suppressed the power.
In this case, compared with others, although Yu Xiaolong's aura is nearly twice as powerful as others, although they all have sixteen veins, there will be few opponents in the same level of Taoism.
Although the sixteen meridians have been shielded, the aura is too abundant in the body, and it might explode during the fight.
So Yu Xiaolong tried over and over again to skillfully control his veins and aura, trying his best to prevent others from seeing the clues.
After doing this, it was already bright. He shook his body and left the secret realm.
"Hey, Xiaolong, how about one night?" Xie Tianyun asked with concern.
"Brother Yu, how are you preparing?" Wan Yanfeng looked at him.
"Uh...everything is fine!" Yu Xiaolong smiled.
"Why does it seem that... you don't have enough confidence? Xiaolong, no, gang leader, you represent the Tianxin Sect! You are safe!" Zhou Kai said with a smirk.
"Don't talk nonsense, fat man. Our gang leader must be fully prepared." Ying Kongxiu grabbed his ear and cursed.
"Well... Xiaolong remember, you don't have to force anything." Sun Renyi said, stroking his mustache.
"Xiaolong, take these pills, maybe you can use them." Xie Tianyun said with a smile.
Yu Xiaolong took it, looked at it, put it in his arms, and asked, "What is it for?"
"When you feel you have no strength, when you feel your energy is insufficient, you can take one." Xie Tianyun chuckled.
"Is this...necessary?" Yu Xiaolong scratched his head and hesitated.
"Take it with Xiaolong for emergencies. Medication is allowed during the competition," Liu Mingqiang said.
There were still two hours before the start of the game, and Yu Xiaolong and his party entered the arena.
Zhou Kai couldn't bear the loneliness and took Xie Tianyun and Zhang Xiaosheng to the market outside.
The market, which is as big as a football field, is extremely lively, with a dazzling variety of products and lively trading scenes everywhere.
The three of them wandered around, stopping to admire interesting things from time to time.
Although they are all things for practitioners, various delicacies are also essential. Zhou Kai kept eating and drinking along the way, while Zhang Xiaosheng followed behind and paid with a wry smile.
"Go away! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I am Qu Changyong from Lu Province. Everyone knows me. Goodbye."
The familiar voice caught the attention of the three people. They turned their heads and saw that they were indeed old acquaintances.
"Laoqu, we tricked a few more people, hehe." Zhou Kai walked over while chewing the meat.
"Hey, three little brothers, how are you... Hey? What do you mean you tricked a few more people? The little fat brothers are always so joking, haha." Qu Changyong said aggrievedly.
"Come on, you've made a lot of money this time, right? You've gained weight recently, look at your belly!" Zhou Kai patted him on the shoulder.
"No way, it's just a living, earning some hard work. I'm not interested in profit, I mainly want to make friends! As the saying goes, having more friends makes life easier." Qu Changyong shook his head with his hands behind his back.
"My mother, please pull me down! I always say this every time I see you, can you change the word?" Zhou Kai waved his hand.
"Hahaha... laugh and laugh."
"Boss Qu, is there any news?" Xie Tianyun asked with a smile.
"News? What news? What do you want to know?" Qu Changyong sat down on the ground.
"Uh...it's just gossip in the world." Xie Tianyun added.
"That's too much. There are millions of things to say." Qu Changyong shook his head disapprovingly.
"Old guy, don't talk nonsense, say something useful, don't flash your tongue. How about... it's about this competition." Zhou Kai leaned next to him and looked at him sideways.
"You..." Qu Changyong rolled his eyes in anger and moved his mouth but did not dare to confront him. He had known Zhou Kai's temper all too well over the years.
Reasoning with him is simply a case of a scholar meeting a soldier. You just feel uncomfortable arguing with him.
"Fat brother, don't do this to Boss Qu. We will have to patronize him more in the future. Although we have a lot of money, we still have to go to him to buy things and get information, right? What if Boss Qu gets angry and doesn't want to see us? If you have to find someone else to buy things, wouldn’t that be troublesome?" Zhang Xiaosheng said with a smile.
Qu Changyong blinked and rolled his eyes and said, "Don't tell me yet, there is some news. It's just that it's not confirmed, so it's hard to tell the truth from the truth."
"Please give me some advice, Boss Qu." Zhang Xiaosheng handed over a few coins at the right time.
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Qu Changyong whispered while putting money in his arms: "According to my multiple sources, there seems to be an unusual trend in the world recently."
"Huh? Boss Qu, what do you say?" Xie Tianyun asked, blinking.
"I really can't say for sure, but it seems that the world has been too calm recently." Qu Changyong pinched his chin and said.
"What the hell? Isn't it okay to be calm? Do you have to expect people to fight and die every day to be normal? What kind of mentality do you have? You are afraid that the world will not be chaotic." Zhou Kai curled his lips.
