chapter 3 Emerging edge

In the Fengming Empire, martial arts prevailed and battles were inevitable. Therefore, outside the imperial capital, there was a platform of life and death, where personal grievances were settled.

Here, as long as both parties agree and sign the life and death contract, once they enter the ring, even if they kill the other party, they will not be sanctioned by imperial laws.

On weekdays, there are countless people watching the excitement here, and there are also many people today. However, after the decisive battles are over, when the two young people take the stage,

"Isn't that person Drake Dragon? Why is he here again?"

"Yes, I was almost beaten to death yesterday. Why are you here again today?"

"Hmph, I guess I don't want to live anymore and want to be beaten to death by others here."

Leon Dragon was honored as the Marquis of Zhenyuan and was known as the military god of the generation. However, the people who really called him the military god were the poor people who had been tortured by war all year round.

In the Imperial Capital, these people who were either rich or noble lived in a peaceful and prosperous age and did not take Leon Dragon, who was born as a commoner, in their eyes. Therefore, few people in the Imperial Capital thought highly of Drake Dragon.

"Drake Dragon, you loser, why are you here again? Isn't this just a waste of time? Anyone who wants to watch you compete should get out of here."

"That is, if you want to commit suicide, find a place where no one is around. No one wants to see a waste. It is such a waste of time."

For a time, hundreds of people watching the excitement in the audience couldn't help but curse loudly, obviously extremely disgusted with Drake Dragon.

But in an inconspicuous corner in the distance, two girls with veils were looking at the figure on the stage intently.

"Sister, is that your fiancé? Why does he look so bad? There is no movement in his body at all." A girl said a little disappointed.

"Humph, it's not like dad made his own decision. He married me on the fingertips of the family back then. He was really angry." Another girl said extremely angrily.

On the ring, Drake Dragon had no idea that two girls were peeping at them. He didn't react at all to the shouts and curses, and just looked at Tom Li indifferently.

Tom Li pointed at the commotion crowd and sneered: "Did you see that, you are just an unpopular waste. If you are sensible, you should just kill yourself."

Drake Dragon just looked at him indifferently without saying a word.

"when"

A bell rings, signaling the start of the duel. When the bell rings, life or death is on the line.

The originally noisy crowd fell silent because of the ringing of the bell. After all, it was a life and death battle, and someone might lose their life at some point.

"Sister, your fiancé has no cultivation at all. He is facing a guy from the third level of Qi Gathering. Aren't you worried?" the woman asked.

"Huh, what's there to worry about? If you die, don't worry about me." Another girl snorted, but as she spoke, a very strange silk mesh appeared in her hand.

"Hehe, he said he didn't care. He even prepared weapons. It seems that you still care about him. But don't say it. Although his cultivation is too useless, he is really good-looking. Otherwise, sister, you don't want him. , give it to me," the woman said with a smile.

"Nonsense, can this kind of thing be done casually? If you like him, you can wait until I break off the engagement with him, and then you can do whatever you want," another woman said angrily.

"whee"

Drake Dragon was always as calm as water in the arena. He was completely different from the one who was gnashing his teeth yesterday.

"Drake Dragon, did you calm down when you were about to die? Don't worry, considering your bet, I won't beat you to death today." Li Hao said with a proud look on his face.

"There's so much nonsense, hurry up and do something, I'll have something to do later,"Drake Dragon said impatiently.

Because the whole place was quiet, Drake Dragon's words reached everyone's ears word for word, and in an instant, the entire arena burst into laughter.

"Tom Li, what are you waiting for? Hurry and beat this bastard to death. It's really disgusting to us."

Someone knew Tom Li and shouted on the spot.

A sneer appeared on Tom Li face. He no longer hesitated. All his strength belonging to the third level of Qi Gathering exploded. When his feet were a little bit on the ring, he had already pounced on Drake Dragon and punched out.

As soon as Tom Li struck, a burst of cheers erupted from the audience. Tom Li's posture was very beautiful and handsome.

"What a move, Linfeng Yushu Fist"

Some people recognized this move, but the two women in the distance secretly sighed, with a hint of ridicule on their lips.

There was also a trace of ridicule on the corner of Drake Dragon mouth: Can such idiotic tricks that are full of loopholes be used against the enemy?

He saw a punch hitting his face and the strong wind roared, but Drake Dragon ignored it and remained motionless.

"Haha, this loser can't even hide anymore," someone in the audience mocked.

But just as he finished shouting his taunt, Tom Li's fist stopped three inches in front of Drake Dragon's face and became motionless.

Those who had been taunting suddenly became silent. They found that one of Drake Dragon's legs stretched out and kicked Tom Li's legs hard with the sole of his foot.

Tom Li, who was originally cheerful and elegant, now looked like a purple eggplant. It was obvious that Drake Dragon's kick made him uncomfortable. The severe pain made his face distorted and he could not move at all.

He couldn't move, but Drake Dragon could. At the moment when he paused, Drake Dragon grabbed Tom Li's hair with both hands and pushed it back hard, knocking out his strong knees at the same time.

"Bang bang bang"

Drake Dragon's movements are very pleasing to the eye, with clear paragraphs. The movements and sounds give people an extremely strong visual impact and a bright sense of rhythm.

The sound of bone cracking was heard, and Tom Li was hit hard three times in a row. The bridge of his nose had collapsed and deformed, his face was covered in blood, and he had passed out.

For a moment, the entire venue was silent. No one expected that a strong man at the third level of the Qi Gathering Realm would be defeated so quickly by a waste without any cultivation.

And he was defeated in the cleanest and neatest way. This result was like a hard slap in the face of the clamoring people.

Even the two girls who were watching the battle secretly from a distance had a look of astonishment on their faces. That Tom Li was nothing in front of them and could be killed with a wave of his hand.

But Drake Dragon was different. From the beginning to the end, he didn't use any spiritual energy. He completely defeated Tom Li with a mortal's fighting style.

"Drake Dragon wins"

A voice came from the audience. It was an old man who presided over the arena and was responsible for registration and announcements.

Drake Dragon chest rose and fell sharply. He used great perseverance to suppress the murderous intention in his heart. Now was not a good time to kill.

It was just that it had been suppressed for too long, and it burst out all at once, making it difficult to take it back. From the outside, it seemed that Drake Dragon was so excited that his arms and legs lost strength, and he was panting like crazy.

Drake Dragon walked off the stage, walked to the old man, took back his long bet knife, and got a crystal card worth five thousand gold coins.

The rule here is that before the game, the bet must be handed over to the referee to show fairness, which also eliminates the possibility of going back on the game.

After getting the sword, Drake Dragon returned it directly to Shi Feng. He put the crystal card into his arms and couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Although five thousand gold coins is not much, it can solve some urgent needs. The above authorities have been deducting the Long family's salary for a long time, and now the Long family is really at a loss to untie the pot.

Under the gaze of countless people, the two slowly left. The two girls, seeing Drake Dragon leaving, also disappeared.

The news that Drake Dragon defeated Tom Li spread throughout the entire imperial capital, as if he had grown legs, leaving countless people puzzled. How could a waste who couldn't practice martial arts suddenly become powerful?

However, countless people witnessed it with their own eyes, and the news spread that Tom Li was carried back to the mansion. For a while, many people couldn't accept it.

After Drake Dragon and Stone Peak left, Drake Dragon wanted to share the spoils with Stone Peak, but Stone Peak refused. In the end, he excused himself as having something to do and went back without even asking why Drake Dragon suddenly became stronger.

Keeping this favor in mind, Drake Dragon went straight to Baicao Hall. After entering Baicao Hall, Drake Dragon asked for a catalog of medicinal materials here.

The names and prices of various medicinal materials were clearly recorded on it. Drake Dragon saw most of the medicinal materials for refining Fengfu Dan. Fortunately, the medicinal materials for refining Fengfu Dan were not particularly rare.

But seeing the price above, Drake Dragon heart was bleeding. His gold coins were only enough to buy three materials.

But he couldn't buy all the materials. He also needed to buy an alchemy cauldron and some other spare medicinal materials. The few gold coins in his hand were just a drop in the bucket.

But it was impossible not to buy it. Drake Dragon gritted his teeth and spent 1,200 gold coins to buy a bronze cauldron of the lowest quality.

He bought another batch of medicinal materials for refining Fengfu Dan, and also bought a large amount of medicinal materials for refining Huiqi Powder. When Drake Dragon came out of Baicaotang, he only had five hundred gold coins on his crystal card.

After returning home, Drake Dragon went straight to his room, locked the door tightly, and asked Jewel to tell everyone not to disturb him.

He knew that his mother would definitely know that he was going to compete again, and he was afraid that her mother would be worried, so he deliberately asked Jewel to block his mother. Since he was fine, his mother shouldn't be too worried.

Now he is racing against time and must quickly improve his strength. Now the Long family's predicament is not as simple as it appears on the surface. Drake Dragon senses a sense of crisis.

"call"

The spiritual energy in Drake Dragon body was circulating, and a flame appeared in the palm of his hand. This was the Dan Fire condensed by the alchemist. However, seeing the flame made Drake Dragon dumbfounded. This flame was too weak.

Pill fire is the spiritual fire that the alchemist condenses with his own spiritual energy through a unique operation method. However, the pill fire condensed by Drake Dragon now has a very low temperature and is not much stronger than ordinary ordinary fire.

Moreover, Drake Dragon discovered that without the support of his dantian, his elixir fire could not last for a quarter of an hour, which was far from enough time to refine the elixir.

Drake Dragon smiled bitterly. Fortunately, he had a backup plan. Drake Dragon did not refine the elixir. He first put the medicinal materials of Huiqi Powder into the cauldron and refined them one by one. However, he did not use elixir fire, but wood fire. .

After all the medicinal materials were refined, a whole jar of Qi Recovery Liquid appeared beside Drake Dragon. After taking a short rest, Drake Dragon took a deep breath:

It's time to officially start refining the Fengfu Pill.
