True Immortal of the Netherworld

For a moment, there was a lot of discussion among the crowd under the ring.

"Chen Kang, stand up! I bet on you to win!"

"I think Nangong Zhongshan's injury is even more serious. I'm afraid he won't be able to stand up."

In the arena.

Chen Kang lay motionless on the ground and seemed to have fainted. The big net that originally wrapped around Chen Kang had automatically retracted into the mechanism at the end of the iron rod. The head of the iron rod was inserted into the floor of the arena and stood upright.

Nangong Zhongshan on the other side of the ring looked even worse. His clothes were in pieces, his upper body was naked, and there were streaks of blood on his strong muscles.

The competition steward withdrew his defensive formation, jumped onto the ring, and looked at the two people lying on the ground.

"In view of the current situation of the two people participating in this ring competition, this competition can no longer continue, and I declare this competition to be a draw."

After hearing this result, the arena exploded.

"It's a draw. I bet hundreds of middle-grade spiritual stones on Chen Kangsheng, but now it's all in vain."

"Yeah, who would have thought it was a draw."

"These two are not easy to mess with. I could have seen it would be a draw."

"You see, you haven't staked a single spiritual stone. What are you bragging about here? Oh, my three hundred middle-grade spiritual stones."

Xu Yang, who was already extremely anxious, jumped onto the ring immediately, and Zhu Liuqing also jumped onto the ring almost at the same time.

The old man with a hawk-nosed nose who was originally driving for Chen Kang also hurriedly jumped onto the ring with a livid face. The eagle-nosed old man came to Chen Kang, helped Chen Kang up with one hand, and gently tapped his forehead with the other hand.

Chen Kang said "Oh" and opened his eyes.

The eagle-nosed old man took out a small jade bottle, poured out two pills and put them into Chen Kang's mouth.

"Master, are you okay? Take the healing medicine first." The old man said eagerly.

"Did I lose?" After saying that, Chen Kang looked towards the other side of the ring.

"No, it's a draw."

"That's good..." Looking at Nangong Zhongshan on the other side of the ring, Chen Kang let out a long breath and continued: "My muscles and bones have been trained by the family's secret method and there is no serious problem. I just have some pain all over my body." As he spoke, he slowly stood up while holding the old man's arm with one hand.

He secretly murmured in his heart that the Nangong family is famous for being good at physical skills and various mechanical weapons. They are really powerful. How could Nangong Zhongshan have such a coincidence? It seems that he is very familiar with the boy named Xu Yang. It was probably the boy named Xu who was responsible for this, so let's leave this account for a while. Chen Kang did not blame Nangong Zhongshan, but he held a grudge against Xu Yang even more.

On the other side of the arena, Xu Yang came to Nangong Zhongshan.

"Brother Nangong, how are you?" Xu Yang said eagerly, and at the same time stretched out one hand to help Nangong Zhongshan up. At this time, Nangong Zhongshan, who had his eyes closed, opened his eyes, blinked at Xu Yang strangely, and then stood up holding Xu Yang's shoulders.

"How's the injury?" Xu Yang continued to ask.

"Brother Xu, don't worry about me, it's just some skin trauma." As he said that, Nangong Zhongshan unfolded his clenched right fist, and a golden ball the size of a walnut appeared in it. There are traces of black stripes on it.

"The little energy from Chen Kang's Fenggui attack just now has been resolved by the Hunyuan Pearl in my hand." Nangong Zhongshan said in a voice.

"Hunyuan Pearl, I have seen this treasure in the sect's classics. It can absorb part of the magic attack. It is a very precious magic weapon, but high-level Hunyuan Pearls are extremely rare. The general Hunyuan Pearl can only absorb a small amount of power. Big attack."

"The Nangong family mainly practices physical arts. In order to make up for the weakness in magic, the children of the family will carry some treasures with them to deal with magic attacks. Although this Hunyuan Pearl is not of high grade, it is better than nothing. My weapon is the iron rod "This is also the reason for the hidden network mechanism." Nangong Zhongshan explained.

At this time, Zhu Liuqing also quickly came to Nangong Zhongshan. Seeing that Nangong Zhongshan had stood up, her hanging heart was relieved.

Zhu Liuqing took out a piece of silk handkerchief and reached out to wipe the blood stains on Nangong Zhongshan's shoulder.

Nangong Zhongshan said embarrassedly: "Thank you, Miss Zhu. I'm really sorry that I couldn't win this competition for you."

"Brother Nangong, what are you talking about? For me, a draw is the best result. I just feel sorry for causing Brother Nangong to be so seriously injured." Zhu Liuqing said this, and after a pause, a red cloud flew onto his face.

"I, I can still fulfill my previous promise. If Brother Nangong doesn't dislike it, I am willing to..." Zhu Liuqing was halfway through his words.

"How can I, Nangong Zhongshan, take advantage of others' danger? Besides, I did not win for Miss Zhu as promised." Nangong Zhongshan interrupted Zhu Liuqing's words.

Zhu Liuqing looked embarrassed and was at a loss for words, but in her heart she felt a little more favorable towards Nangong Zhongshan.

At this time, Chen Kang, accompanied by the eagle-nosed old man, came in front of everyone.

"Young Master Nangong is so clever that he was able to block my Feng Gui's blow with the strength of his body." Chen Kang said.

"Young Master Chen is being too modest. Although I am a descendant of the Nangong family, I am not a direct descendant of the young master. I had the honor to learn Master Chen's brilliant moves in the ring today, and it was just a lucky draw." Nangong Zhongshan replied.

"Since we have a draw, you and I don't have to fight anymore. This bet is over."

"That's very good. I would like to be the guarantor for the remaining spiritual stones that Miss Zhu owes Mr. Chen. I wonder if Mr. Chen can agree?"

"Since Mr. Nangong is the guarantor, of course it can be done." After Chen Kang finished speaking, he turned to Zhu Liuqing and said, "Miss Zhu, since Mr. Nangong is willing to come forward as the guarantor, your eldest brother will pay me back the remaining gambling debt he owes within a month. yes."

"I will definitely return the spirit stone to you as scheduled."

"Farewell." Chen Kang turned around and limped off the ring.

Nangong Zhongshan and his party then also got off the ring.

"It worries you three. It's just a superficial injury."

"Thank you Taoist Nangong for rescuing my brother and sister today. If Brother Nangong needs my help in the future, I will definitely help you." Zhu Liunian said with sincerity. After finishing his words, he cupped his fists and bowed deeply.

Nangong Zhongshan hurriedly helped Zhu Liunian up.

"Since you are Xu Yang's friends, you are also my Nangong Zhongshan's friends, so there is no need to say thank you."

"Brother Nangong, it seems that your injury is not serious. You should go to the hospital to bandage the wound first." Zhu Liuqing said with concern.

Next to the ring is a medical center that specializes in treating those injured in competitions.

After getting off the ring, everyone accompanied Nangong Zhongshan to the medical center.

After a stick of incense, the four of them from Xu Yang walked out of the medical center.

"Don't worry, everyone, I, Nangong Zhongshan, is as strong as an ox." As he said that, Nangong Zhongshan hit his chest with his right fist.

At this time, Nangong Zhongshan's wounds had been bandaged and he had changed his clothes. He still looked energetic and vigorous.

"Thanks to you two this time. My eldest brother and I have some things to do and will leave first. I will thank you two another day." Zhu Liuqing said.

"See you again when we have a chance!" Nangong Zhongshan replied.

Zhu Liuqing and Zhu Liunian left in a hurry. After taking a few steps, Zhu Liuqing looked back at Nangong Zhongshan and smiled.

Nangong Zhongshan nodded sheepishly.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and I haven't had time to congratulate Brother Nangong for successfully advancing to the Void Realm." Xu Yang said.

"The eggs of the Nether Bone King Snake are really effective in advancing to the realm of virtual reality. I think it won't be long before Brother Xu will successfully advance to the realm of virtual reality."

"Brother Nangong was in the ring, why didn't he use the Barbarian Ghost Transformation? With Brother Nangong's current strength, if he used the Barbarian Ghost Transformation, he would definitely defeat Chen Kang." Xu Yang asked.

"I'm just trying to explain this to you. First, if I use the Barbarian Ghost Transformation to publicly defeat Chen Kang in the ring, the Chen family will lose face and will definitely take revenge in the future. I'm from the Nangong family, so I'm naturally not afraid of the Chen family. , but Brother Xu may be implicated by that time. Secondly, before the game, Miss Zhu promised to become a spiritual couple with the person who will fight in her place. If I win, how can I forcefully marry Miss Zhu? It might even embarrass Miss Zhu," Nangong Zhongshan replied.

"Brother Nangong looks rough, but I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful."

"Even so, I think Chen Kang will not give up. Brother Xu would be better to be careful."

"Thank you, Brother Nangong, for reminding me."

The two left the market and said goodbye to each other.

When Xu Yang returned to his residence, in addition to completing the tasks assigned by Mulingyuan on time, he also meditated and practiced martial arts. After a few days, all the medicinal power of "Nether Bone King Snake Egg" was absorbed, and Xu Yang's cultivation realm faintly reached the peak of the second level of the Spiritual Realm, which made Xu Yang extremely happy. This "Nether Bone King Snake Egg" is one of the spiritual treasures used by ghost monks to break through to low-level realms, and it truly deserves its reputation.

Entering the spirit realm is the lowest realm for cultivators, and it is also the entry-level realm. Once a cultivator reaches the Realm of Transformation, the absorption of spiritual power and the use of magic power are incomparable to those in the Spiritual Realm. Breaking through the bottleneck of entering the spiritual realm and advancing to the virtual realm is also one of the key moments in a cultivator's life.

Cultivators who have entered the spiritual realm are still in an introductory state of controlling their own magic power. If they do not control it well, their success will easily fail. Once the first attack on the virtual realm fails, even if you successfully advance to the virtual realm in the future, it will have an impact on your future advancement to a higher realm due to the unstable foundation.

In order to make his own realm more certain to break through the bottleneck and enter the realm of transformation, Xu Yang has been looking around the sect in the past few days to read relevant classics.

Early this morning, Xu Yang, who had just finished his morning exercise, was about to go to Lingguoyuan to check, when he heard someone calling the door.

"Is Senior Brother Xu in the house?"

The voice sounded very familiar, so I opened the door and took a look. Zhu Liuqing, wearing a light green dress, stood at the door.

"This is Junior Sister Zhu, please come inside." After saying that, Xu Yang invited Zhu Liuqing into the house.

"In the past few days, my eldest brother and I have been raising spiritual stones everywhere, and finally gathered the remaining fifteen high-grade spiritual stones. It's just that the ones I borrowed from Senior Brother Xu will not be returned until later. I haven't thanked you properly for what happened last time. and Brother Nangong.”

"Those spiritual stones I got were just by chance. I don't usually use a lot of spiritual stones. I wish my junior sister that when I have enough money, it won't be too late to return."

"I think Senior Brother Xu's cultivation has almost reached the peak of the second level of the Spirit Realm."

"It was just a fluke that we broke through to the second level."

"I have an auxiliary magic weapon here for practicing. It will be of great help in breaking through the bottleneck of the Void Realm. I can lend it to you." After saying that, Zhu Liuqing took out an object and a rosewood box from the storage bag, and gently Place it lightly on the table.

Opening the lid of the box, a large swath of red cloud burst out from inside the box, making the whole room turn red.
