Looking at the young man in the scroll, Zhou Sheng's heart fluctuated like a tide, and his face that had always been calm was now twitching violently.
You can see his state of mind.
Qi Yuan was stunned when he looked at the painting. The young man in the painting was too familiar to him.
It was this young man who forced Zhou Sheng to collapse and sink for three years. Otherwise, how could he be the king of cards now?
Zhou Sheng stared at the portrait, clenching his hands, and his eyes almost turned blood red.
Jiang Taiyuan's finger directly pinched his Achilles' heel.
Yes, break your inner demons, step out from the shadows, practice hard, and become stronger with persistence. What is the purpose of it?
Isn't it just so that one day, I can stand in front of the refugee again and wash away all the grievances of the past?
Later, he also searched for news about Xiao Xuan, but the only news he found was that Xiao Xuan left Tianyuan Continent after winning the Tianyuan Continent League Championship and disappeared.
Now, King Jiang took out this scroll, could it be...?
As if he knew what he was thinking, Jiang Taiyuan nodded slightly and said, "I have found out where he went after leaving Tianyuan Continent."
"He, where did he go?" Zhou Sheng couldn't help but said, his voice trembling.
Jiang Taiyuan's eyes flashed slightly, with a half-smile, and said: "This is a secret, and it is also a deal I want to make with you."
"Besides, even if I tell you his location, so what, you were no match for him three years ago, not to mention that you have been on a decline in the past three years."
Perhaps it was because he had gained the confidence to step into Kawang. When Zhou Sheng heard these words, not only did he not feel any fear or shame, but instead, his fighting spirit rose in his eyes, and he slowly said: "What is he now?" strength?"
Hearing this, Jiang Taiyuan's mouth twitched, and his eyes suddenly became strange.
According to the intelligence, it is said that Xiao Xuan, after leaving Tianyuan Continent, skyrocketed as if he was cheating, and became Kasheng in a daze.
Of course, his information was limited to this. As for what happened after Xiao Xuan became Ka Sheng, he didn't know.
He originally wanted to use Xiao Xuan as bait to catch the big fish Zhou Sheng.
However, if I really told Zhou Sheng the truth, how could I still fish?
Jiang Taiyuan thought for a while and calmly made up nonsense: "It is said that Luo Feng is already the Eight Star Card King."
"Eight-star card king..." After hearing this, Zhou Sheng's eyes narrowed. Although there were waves in his heart, he could barely accept this result.
There was a hint of amusement in the corner of his mouth, and he said: "Tsk, I thought he had already reached the Kawang realm..."
"Yes, with your talent, if you had not given up on yourself, you should be the Eight-Star Card King now." Jiang Taiyuan stared at him and said: "I know that he is your inner demon. The only way to defeat him is to defeat him. Only then can you completely step out of his shadow."
"But, you have to know, because you have been stuck for three years and have stopped moving forward. With your current progress, you should know how difficult it is to catch up with him, right?"
Zhou Sheng was silent. The gap between the one-star card king and the eight-star card king was a bit scary.
The silence lasted for a while. He raised his eyelids slightly, looked at Jiang Taiyuan, and said, "Since King Jiang mentioned this matter today, I guess he already has a way to deal with it, right?"
He didn't believe it. Jiang Taiyuan mentioned this just to stimulate him.
Jiang Taiyuan's eyes flashed slightly and he said: "The new Tianyuan League will start next year."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Sheng was startled. The Tianyuan League is the Star Card League of the entire Tianyuan Continent. In every Star Card League, the top Star Card Masters of the entire Tianyuan Continent will attend.
The huge Tianyuan Continent can actually be divided into five regions: Eastern Wasteland, Northern Desert, Southern Border, Western Region, and Zhongzhou.
In every area, there will be a super power.
Their Yan Dynasty is the super power that looks forward to the Eastern Wilderness.
Every time the Tianyuan Continent Star Card League is held, the five superpowers will send the top star card masters of the younger generation among their clans to participate.
Jiang Taiyuan said: "In our Tianyuan Continent, there is a place called Fenghua Valley. Due to its special location, this place does not belong to any force, but is jointly supervised by the five super powers."
"Not long ago, a holy object came to the world in Fenghua Valley."
"Holy object?" Zhou Sheng suddenly showed great interest when he heard this.
Jiang Taiyuan nodded and said: "This holy object is said to be a thing left by a saint. It is called the Saint's Heart. It contains great and infinite power. If it is absorbed and refined, it will definitely transform itself into a mortal." Become a saint."
"This effect cannot be compared to even a hundred Star Source Dragon Balls put together."
"Since the Saint's Heart was born in Maple Valley, it does not belong to any force. The five major forces were in a stalemate on this. After several discussions, they decided to use it as a reward for this mainland Star Card League."
"Whoever can fight his way through all the geniuses and win the championship will win the heart of a saint."
"This is a result that all forces can accept."
He paused for a moment, looked at Zhou Sheng, and said: "If you obtain the heart of the saint, then the gap between you and Xiao Xuan will be instantly smoothed out, and even the Kahuang Emperor can expect it."
"And if you submit to me, after I unify the dynasty, I will do my best to help you win the league championship, and then gain the heart of a saint."
"After you gain the heart of a saint and step into the realm of Kahuang, you can go anywhere in this huge world. I will not stop you, let alone set constraints on you in the name of a monarch and a minister."
"At that time, you can leave Tianyuan Continent and go to other continents to find Xiao Xuan and avenge the past."
"Heart of a Saint..." Just hearing this word, Zhou Sheng felt his heart tremble. Although he had never seen a strong Kasheng, according to legend, a strong man of this level could burn mountains and boil seas with just a single move. Destroy heaven and earth.
If he wants to make up for the gap with Xiao Xuan, he really needs this kind of amazing fortune that can only be encountered but cannot be obtained.
Seeing Zhou Sheng's very excited look, Qi Yuan called him an expert. Jiang Taiyuan's fishing and painting skills were really good at fishing.
Yes, Zhou Sheng simply couldn't refuse this condition and had no reason to refuse.
Zhou Sheng pondered for a while and said: "If the Flame Emperor wants to win over me, he may also offer this condition."
The implication is that based on this alone, your bargaining chip is not big enough.
Jiang Taiyuan sneered and said: "Yes, the Flame Emperor may indeed promise to help you become the league champion, but will she really do this?"
"You should understand that the reason why Luo Feng, a mortal, cultivates so fast is simply because of the support of the Flame Emperor."
"But do you know the reason?"
"Because Luo Feng's talent is amazing?" Zhou Sheng was startled when he heard this, and immediately cast a curious look.
"Let me tell you." Qi Yuan took a sip of tea, lowered his eyes slightly, and said, "Luo Feng has no background. The reason why the Flame Emperor supports him carefully is because the two of them have been childhood sweethearts since childhood."
"You should have heard before that when the empress was in Tianyuan City, she had an affair with a family member and had an unknown affair."
Zhou Sheng nodded and said: "That man is quite courageous. He dares to fabricate rumors about the empress. I have also read his book called [The Overbearing Empress Falls in Love with Me]."
Qi Yuan grinned and said, "Actually, that's not a rumor, it actually happened, and you actually know that family."
"I know him?" Zhou Sheng became more and more confused. How could he, the master of the Thunder Pavilion in the majestic city, know a street author?
"The author of the attack is Luo Feng." Qi Yuandao.
Zhou Sheng: "..."
"So, do you understand now why the Flame Emperor supports Luo Feng like this?" Jiang Taiyuan walked to the door of the palace, looked at the bright moon in the distance, and said: "Not only because of his talent, but also because of the two of them. Duan is not aware of the relationship between ears."
"So, even if she promises you huge profits, just like me, and promises to support you in winning the league championship after unifying the Flame Dynasty, will it really come true in the future?"
"Put yourself in my shoes, if you were the Flame Emperor, would you help your future husband win the league championship and obtain the Bones of the Saint in the future, or would you?"
"Don't forget, you are the chief disciple of the old Flame Emperor, and the old Flame Emperor snatched the throne from Zhuo Ying's father, so how could she trust you, an enemy disciple?"
"The reason why I keep you now is simply because you are still valuable!"
boom!
Jiang Taiyuan's voice was like rolling thunder, exploding in Zhou Sheng's mind.
His heart was up and down, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. What King Jiang said was indeed reasonable. Even if there were benefits in the future, he would not keep it to himself at all.
What's more, the people from the Flame Emperor's camp haven't even come to win over him yet.
Jiang Taiyuan continued: "Perhaps you may think that I may also be using you. After I unify the dynasty, I will carefully support my son Jiang Yan instead of you."
"I think between us, we don't call it utilization. To be precise, it should be called cooperation."
"Actually, relationships bound by interests are the most stable."
"Although my son Jiang Yan has good qualifications, if he wants to compete with other super powers for the league championship, he is really thinking too much."
"Due to the internal fighting over the years, there is already a big gap between our Yan Dynasty and other super powers in terms of background."
"Other superpowers, there are many strong card kings among the younger generation. My son is only a nine-star card master. Even if I train him to death, he will not even have half a chance of winning the championship."
"Although I have selfish motives, I understand the overall situation more clearly."
"Therefore, I will only train you with all my heart. After all, you are the number one of the younger generation. Only by placing my bets on you can I have any chance of defeating other superpowers and winning the championship."
"I can still figure this out."
Zhou Sheng's eyes flashed, and Jiang Taiyuan's words seemed to contain a magical power. They hit the nail on the head and gave him no reason to refuse.
Taking a deep breath and slowly calming his mind, Zhou Sheng suddenly knelt down on his knees, his eyes suddenly became respectful, and said: "In Zhou Sheng, I am willing to go through fire and water for King Jiang!"
Jiang Taiyuan nodded and looked at each other with Qi Yuan. There was a trace of undetectable teasing in each other's eyes.
…
Gurgling.
Today, there is no movement in the holy pool. If it weren't for the faint trace of vitality, Zhuo Ying would even feel that Luo Feng is no longer there.
At the bottom of the holy pool, a ball of golden light lingered, looking particularly dazzling.
In the extremely brilliant golden light, a figure could be vaguely seen, with a solemn treasure, sitting cross-legged.
It was Luo Feng.
The extremely viscous star energy was like streams of water, pouring continuously into Luo Feng's body.
It’s been a month.
Unknowingly, Luo Feng had been holding on at the bottom of the holy pool for a month.
In this month, his body went from being damaged to being reshaped, and then from being reshaped to being damaged again, over and over again.
Every time, he is wandering between life and death.
However, every time his body was reshaped, Luo Feng could clearly feel that his body was gradually strengthened compared to before.
…
Time flies, and the battle for the chief pavilion master is coming before you know it.
Although this is the top event in the dynasty, everyone's expectations for it are not very high.
Because, the final outcome is already clear. Jiang Yan and Zhou Sheng will advance to the finals, and then Zhou Sheng will win without a fight and win the title of Chief Pavilion Master.
As we all know, everyone under the King of Cards is an ant.
There is no suspense at all.
The battle for the chief pavilion master is imminent, but there are undercurrents surging within the dynasty.
After all, everyone knows that the upcoming battle for the chief cabinet master will determine the changes in the situation in the dynasty. Whoever's camp the chief cabinet master belongs to can trip up the other and break the deadlock.
However, Luo Feng, the original spokesperson of the Flame Emperor camp, failed to win the Star Source Dragon Ball and thus missed the battle for the chief pavilion master.
Everyone understands that King Jiang has been coveting the Flame Emperor's position for several years, and has used various means to infiltrate it, and now it has achieved results. If the position of Chief Pavilion Master is again available, then they will not be far away from the day when they will become a complete dynasty.
Although Zhou Sheng seems to be neutral, some familiar people know that he is more likely to surrender to King Jiang.
Because of this, some vacillating neutral forces were shaken at this moment and began to take the lead in defecting to King Jiang's camp.
Therefore, the next thing to watch is not who can become the chief cabinet master, but what position Zhou Sheng, the future chief cabinet master, will take, whose camp he will fall to, and who he belongs to.
And amid such speculation, time flew by and it was already on the eve of the battle for the chief pavilion master.
The bottom of the holy pool.
Today, Luo Feng is still entrenched at the bottom of the holy pool, with his eyes closed tightly. Vast and majestic power permeates from the holy bones, rushing towards his body with a mighty force.
Such a terrifying force impact, if it had been before, the body would have been crushed and torn in an instant.
However, now, he is indifferent, and does not even have the defense of the star energy circulating around him, allowing the terrifying torrent of star energy to wash over him.
After this period of hard training, although the realm has not been broken through, in terms of body, it is no weaker than the strong ones in the Kawang Realm, and even far surpasses the strong ones in the Kawang Realm.
Although in most cases, the Star Card Master does not need to fight in person, it is always a good thing to be physically strong and be able to withstand those knives from the dark.
With Luo Feng's current physical strength, even if he doesn't summon any star cards, even if the nine-star card master sends star cards to directly attack his body, he will not be able to break through his defense.
And his star mansions are constantly being opened up, from seven to nine.
Rumble…
Luo Feng's body was like a huge black hole, absorbing all the power of the holy bones that burst out.
The power of the tyrannical holy bone poured into his body continuously, raging greedily and unruly in his body.
However, no matter how raging it was, it could not destroy Luo Feng's meridians. After going around and around, he finally surrendered and poured into the Star Mansion obediently like a kitten.
And with the influx of such terrifying power, Luo Feng's nine star mansions could no longer hold it, and were on the verge of exploding.
"Since you can't pretend anymore, let's use this as a breakthrough..." His eyes flashed and he murmured.
Nine star mansions are lined up.
As the saying goes, when the nine palaces are shattered, the stars emerge.
Nothing can be broken or established.
After the Nine Star Card Master, the Star Card Master will crush all the nine star mansions in the body, and then interweave, merge, compress and condense the power they turned into.
If a star is condensed, it will mark the true step into the one-star card king.
However, this is also risky. If the nine star mansions are crushed and no stars are condensed, then you will not be able to step into the Kawang realm, and you will directly regress to the Katu realm because there is no star mansion in your body.
Therefore, from the card master to the card king, in a sense, it is also a calamity.
If you retreat, you will be ordinary; if you enter, you will be immortal.
Boom boom boom!
Under Luo Feng's control, the nine star mansions all exploded and turned into endless fluorescence.
Luo Feng's mental power was gathered to the extreme, and he controlled the endless fluorescence to begin to compress and condense towards each other.
Under such compression, the fluorescent light in the sky was finally condensed into a white egg.
There are stars twinkling on the egg, and there is a thumping sound inside, as if there is life and is about to be born.
Click.
At this moment, cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the egg, and then quickly spread to every corner.
Wow!
Endless light spreads out from it, dazzling.
The next moment, a circle of stars, like the bright sun, burst out of the egg.
Those enchanting eyes slowly opened.
The fluctuations of star energy that would have spread out uncontrollably all disappeared at this moment, completely restrained, and it looked as if the star energy had never been cultivated.
All power is controlled to the smallest detail.
"Is this the power of King Ka?" Feeling the surging star energy in his body, a bright smile appeared on the corner of Luo Feng's mouth, which was a kind of incomparable satisfaction.
Now he can decide life or death with just one word.
One word will surely destroy the clan.
Luo Feng looked down and saw that King Ka also had nine stars, corresponding to the nine stars in his body. It is said that if nine stars are condensed and the stars turn into one, they will turn into the sun.
When the stars turn into the sun, you can step into the Kahuang realm. At that time, the star energy is as vast as clouds and can cover hundreds of miles of heaven and earth.
So cool, so cool.
Originally, with the speed of his cultivation, it would take at least several years to step into the Kawang Realm, but Xuan Sheng made him move forward quickly with just a piece of bone.
And most importantly, this rapid improvement did not make his foundation unstable, but instead made it extremely solid.
The bones of the saint are so terrifying.
At this moment, Qi Jin and Zhuo Ying stood in front of the holy pool.
"Fire Emperor, tomorrow will be the battle for the Chief Pavilion Master..." Qi Jin said in a deep voice, his face full of sorrow. Although he knew that the Flame Emperor used a special method that he could not understand, as a substitute for the Star Source Dragon Ball, the competition could not be completed. Even now, Luo Feng still showed no signs of waking up, which made him very uneasy. After all, if the battle for the chief pavilion master ended, what would be the use of Luo Feng's breakthrough?
"Why don't we try to wake up in advance..."
"What are you talking about?" After hearing this, Zhuo Ying suddenly looked angry and said coldly: "Don't you know what the consequences will be if you interrupt in advance?"
"It can range from going crazy to being possessed, to dying from explosion. Can you afford the consequences?!"
"But..." Qi Jin blushed and wanted to explain.
"But what?" Zhuo Ying's pretty face was indifferent, and she said in a cold voice: "In this fight for the chief pavilion master, if we can fight, we will fight. If we can't fight, so be it."
"I just want him to be fine."
Qi Jin's heart trembled, he stared blankly, and in a daze, he vaguely understood something.
Zhuo Ying did not use Luo Feng to win the title of chief pavilion master to consolidate his position.
I'm afraid that in fact, this battle for the chief pavilion master is just used as an experience for Luo Feng, so that he can grow up. In other words, the Flame Emperor is paving the way for his child bride...
"It's just that even if he can wake up safely, he can only become a nine-star card master, right?" Qi Jin stared at the holy pool with a worried look on his face.
After Zhou Shengneng obtained the Star Source Dragon Ball, he entered the Kawang realm. That was because he was already in the late nine-star stage.
And Luo Feng is no more than seven stars. Even if he gets the Star Source Dragon Ball, in such a short period of time, at most he will be a nine-star card master and it is impossible to step into the card king realm.
What's more, he hasn't obtained the Star Source Dragon Ball yet, and what he is absorbing and refining now is just a substitute found by the Flame Emperor.
He was thinking that no matter how powerful the Flame Emperor's substitute was, it couldn't be compared to the Star Source Dragon Ball, right?
Therefore, Qi Jin has never been able to figure out what exactly the Flame Emperor is expecting when he is so persistent?
boom!
But at this moment, the holy pool that had always been calm suddenly had a terrifying fluctuation of star energy, which erupted like ripples.
Under this tyrannical force, even Qi Jin retreated uncontrollably, spitting out a mouthful of blood without warning.
"Which expert is here!" Qi Jin lost his voice in shock. Although he was unprepared, it was impossible for an ordinary Kawang expert to make him so embarrassed, right? !
boom!
A column of water rose into the sky. Under Qi Jin's horrified gaze, Luo Feng's figure slowly rose from the holy pool. He rubbed his brows, smiled bitterly, and said, "Prince Qi, it's me."
A question mark slowly appeared on Qi Jin's face.
