The Royal Martial Arts Competition was a hot topic across the entire Cenwu Continent, but very few people dared to sign up. Only a handful of powerful individuals were brave enough to do so.

A person exclaimed, "The rewards for the intermediate group are impressive. They're even offering a white lotus seed!"

Indeed, the number of participants increased as more people joined towards the end. This was due to Wu Kaoming's efforts, who was responsible for organizing these events, as it was part of the agreement for the establishment of a teleportation array on the Royal Continent.

Anxiously, Gudongchen handed over an invitation to Xiao仇. He didn't expect that Xiao would sign up for the senior division competition.

Xiao wasn’t deterred. Regardless of how strong his opponent was, he wanted to give it a try.

Gudongchen sighed. "There's also a preliminary round before the main event, which is based on points. The top four will then have a live competition at the end."

Shenxiang was undergoing intense cultivation in the forbidden zone, unaware that Xiao had signed up. He was on the brink of a breakthrough now.

Days passed swiftly, and after consuming the quintessence true essence pill, Shenxiang compressed his vitality forcefully. A true essence grain was slowly glowing! For the past ten days, he was lighting up one every day, making his cultivation more arduous and consuming more pills than usual. Huangjintian intentionally arranged this to push him past his limits.

Within his dantian, the five beast images were glowing with eighty small light spots each, totaling four hundred. When Shenxiang’s fourth-hundred true essence grain glowed, he suddenly felt his power increase dramatically.

After reaching four hundred grains, the true essence grains formed a day-like formation as though they were interlinked. This was why he felt his strength increasing significantly.

Shenxiang chuckled, relieved that all the hard work he’d endured over these two months had finally paid off.

Huangjintian said, "You’re now at True Martial Realm, and you’ve reached the latter stage. Your quick breakthrough is due to those pills. If you hadn't insisted on following my cultivation plan, it might not have been as quick!" He pushed Shenxiang up to continue his alchemy.

After stepping into the True Martial Realm, eighth-order realm, Shenxiang had used up all his quintessence true essence pills. Huangjintian’s calculations were spot-on.

Upon exiting the forbidden zone, Shenxiang would take a shower and rest for a while. But this time, once he was done bathing, he saw Wuqianqian.

"Your disciple was injured. Go check on him quickly!" Wuqianqian said immediately after seeing Shenxiang.

Shenxiang frowned and asked, "Which disciple"

Wuqianqian replied, "Your little disciple. However, his injuries are now stable!" The fellows from the Royal Continent were indeed formidable. Even Xiao could only return crawling, thanks to their power and extraordinary martial arts skills.

Shenxiang could guess the reason for Wuqianqian’s worry, and he was furious that Gudongchen had allowed Xiao to join the competition.

"They say those from Taiwu Sect return with grave injuries. Don’t go, Shenxiang!" Wuqianqian was genuinely concerned.

"I’m not that foolish!" Shenxiang followed Wuqianqian to Xiao’s residence. Xiao had already joined the Royal Martial Academy.

"Little guy, how is he" Shenxiang asked as Xiao looked weak. He pinched his face gently.

"I’ll be fine! Master, don’t go to avenge me. The top experts from the Royal Continent are too powerful. My opponent was only at the True Martial Realm eighth-order realm, but he still managed to beat me up! They have powerful godly strength from the Strong Tribe and very impressive martial arts. Their vital energy is also very domineering." Xiao urged him to stay away, reminding him of the tempered person he had become since becoming Shenxiang’s disciple and not being as impulsive as before.

Although Xiao was severely injured, he had improved significantly. Nevertheless, Shenxiang gave him a small piece of hellish rhizome to heal him quickly.

"I’m not that stupid, Xiao. Go only if you have absolute strength; otherwise, winning the first place is a must." Shenxiang said with a smile.

Shenxiang was still at the True Martial Realm, while the senior division allowed those from the Extreme Realm. No matter how strong someone was at the True Martial Realm, it was hard against those from Extreme Realm.

"Thankfully, I heard there aren’t many of them. Only those with royal blood are this strong. The few True Martial Realm seventh-order, eighth-order, and ninth-order I encountered were all defeated by me. However, they’re still much stronger than the martial artists from other continents!" Xiao said with regret, noting that Huangjintian had been defeated by him.

"It was also like this for those you defeated. Your Strong Tribe’s starting point is higher than theirs, Xiao. If you were at the True Martial Realm eighth-order now, you might have been able to match them," Shenxiang said with a smile.

"I might even win!" Xiao laughed. With the teleportation array, traveling from Cenwu Continent to the Royal Continent was easy. Shenxiang stood at Taiwu Sect's entrance, looking at the array of arcane spirit patterns on the ground. That was the teleportation array.

"You want to go" Wu Kaoming appeared behind Shenxiang.

"I do, but I’m afraid I can’t resist fighting them," Shenxiang said with a smile. Xiao had been injured, but his anger was evident despite his calm exterior.

Wu Kaoming smiled and said, "You might not be able to fight them, but you have a better chance at winning the alchemy competition. The Royal Continent’s alchemy scene is flourishing, and there are many young gifted alchemists. They’ve invited you to participate in their alchemy competition."

Shenxiang’s eyes lit up, and he asked, "I’m just a初級five-stage alchemist. If the competition rules are against me, I won’t go."

"The competition rules should be fair and considerate of all alchemists, unlike martial arts competitions!" Wu Kaoming said.

After considering his options, Shenxiang agreed. "Then I’ll accept their invitation. If the rules are unfair to me, I’ll withdraw immediately."

Wu Kaoming nodded. "Of course, to save effort. The Royal Continent has weakened other continents significantly because of their strength. Many who went from the Cenwu Continent suffered great losses, and I heard that several excellent Extreme Realm disciples got severely injured on Lotus Island."

Shenxiang accepted the invitation and teleported over for the alchemy competition three days later. Many heard of this news and were eager to visit the Royal Continent, although they needed to pay for both ways. Spirit Martial Realm and needed to consolidate his cultivation. He absolutely could not rapidly improve his strength within a short time. However, Bai Youyou was now making him devour an adventurer w...
