C282 Zhuo Family Martial Arts Competition

As time passed, Ye Hong Tian's aura became stronger and stronger, and the mercury energy in his meridians had almost been absorbed.

The fire-attribute spirit energy in the entire cultivation ground had been reduced by more than half compared to when Ye Hong Tian had entered. Most of it had been absorbed by the Purple Underworld. Ye Hong Tian had only absorbed a small portion of it and a Void Flame Origin.

Swoosh!

A human figure suddenly appeared in the cultivation ground. The moment he entered, he began to look around as if he was looking for something.

Following which, this person seemed to sense that the fire-type spiritual energy here had decreased significantly. He frowned slightly and began to search the cultivation ground.

"Brother Ye, Brother Ye, it's almost time. I'm here to bring you out." That person shouted loudly. That person was Zhuo Wu.

His voice traveled through the entire cultivation ground. The unconscious Ye Hongtian's eyelashes trembled slightly before he slowly opened his eyes. He placed his hands on the ground and sat up with his legs crossed. He patted his head and recalled what had happened.

Just as he was thinking about it, Ye Hong Tian heard that person's shout again. He loudly replied, "Brother Zhuo, I'm here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuo Wu came to Ye Hongtian. He saw Ye Hongtian's ragged clothes and surprised look on his face. He went up and helped Ye Hongtian up.

"Brother Ye, what's wrong with you? As far as I know, other than the elders and Brother Ye who are in charge of the entrance token, no one else has a token in their hands. What's wrong with Brother Ye's injuries?" Zhuo Wu asked doubtfully.

Ye Hong Tian scratched his head and awkwardly replied, "Indeed, no one entered the cultivation ground. These injuries were caused by the fire pillar. I was too careless."

Hearing Ye Hong Tian's explanation, Zhuo Wu nodded his head in doubt. Ye Hong Tian's explanation was a bit far-fetched. Zhuo Wu, as a member of the Zhuo family, if one was touched by the fire pillar, they would die without a doubt. How could he still be alive?

However, Zhuo Wu did not want to ask any further. Since Ye Hongtian did not want to say anything, he naturally had his own reasons. Grabbing Ye Hongtian's shoulder, he crushed a token and the two of them went to the cultivation hall.

"Let me congratulate Brother Ye first. You actually broke through to the peak of the 1st level of the Void Origin Stage in a day's time. Truly enviable." Zhuo Wu cupped his fists and said to Ye Hongtian with a smile.

Ye Hong Tian was stunned when he heard that. He stared at Zhuo Wu with his eyes wide open. Then, he closed his eyes and checked his own cultivation. He discovered that he was really already at the peak of the 1st level of the Void Origin Stage. A look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face.

He had been knocked unconscious by the energy from the 10,000 Dao Tree Seeds. When he woke up, he found that the energy had already disappeared. Now, it seemed that he had absorbed it. That was why he had raised his cultivation to the peak of the 1st level of the Void Origin Stage.

"I was able to break through to the peak of the 1st level of the Void Origin Stage thanks to your Zhuo Family's cultivation ground. Such a good cultivation ground, Brother Zhuo, must have lied to me and said that the effect was not good. When we get to the Sword Sect, Brother Zhuo, you must bring me to see those good cultivation grounds, hahaha." Ye Hong Tian said with a laugh.

"Just a cultivation place with dense fire attribute spiritual energy. Where is it good? That's weird." Zhuo Wu frowned and looked at Ye Hong Tian with doubt in his heart.

He had also entered this place before. After entering once, he didn't want to go in anymore. There was nothing special about it other than the rich fire-attribute spiritual qi. There were even fire pillars spurting out from time to time. Normally, martial artists below the True Essence Mirror would die upon contact. He had almost been burnt to death at that time.

However, everyone had different cultivation methods. Some people specialized in the fire path, and with the support of rich fire attribute spirit energy, it would be very beneficial for them to cultivate.

Suppressing the doubt in his heart, Zhuo Wu took out a brush from his Cosmos Sack, and then pointed it towards Ye Hong Tian. In an instant, it touched the space between Ye Hong Tian's eyebrows.

If Ye Hong Tian wanted to avoid this stroke, Zhuo Wu would not be able to point it at him. However, Zhuo Wu did not feel any malice from Zhuo Wu, so he did not try to avoid it.

After the brush touched Ye Hong Tian's forehead, a black symbol appeared between Ye Hong Tian's eyebrows. At first glance, this symbol looked like the word "Zhuo," but upon closer inspection, it did not seem like it. It was very strange.

"Brother Zhuo, this is?" Touching the space between his brows, Ye Hongtian cast a questioning gaze towards Zhuo Wu and asked.

Zhuo Wu did not immediately answer Ye Hong Tian's question. He used the brush to tap on his own forehead before replying, "This is the symbol representing our Zhuo family's identity. This symbol will last for three days. With this symbol, Brother Zhuo will represent our Zhuo family in the martial arts competition."

Ye Hong Tian understood. He secretly used his own strength to try and remove this symbol. As soon as he used his strength to remove this symbol, the symbol became much fainter, giving Ye Hong Tian a fright.

He didn't want to remove this symbol right now. He only needed to confirm that this symbol could be removed. Otherwise, if he couldn't remove it, then it would be the same as being branded with the Zhuo Family's imprint. He didn't want to be tricked by the Zhuo Family.

"Since we're already prepared, let's go to the combat arena. Before that, Brother Ye has to return the cultivation ground token to me and change into a set of clothes." Zhuo Wu looked at Ye Hong Tian and said with a smile.

After Zhuo Wu's reminder, Ye Hong Tian remembered that the clothes on his body were mostly broken. He hurriedly took out a new set of clothes from his Cosmos Sack and put them on. He conveniently threw the Zhuo Family cultivation ground token to Zhuo Wu.

On an open open space, an arena was built in the middle of the open space. The surroundings of the arena were filled with martial artists. The entire open space was packed so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through. This was the Zhuo Family's martial arena.

Ye Hong Tian and Zhuo Wu rushed over from afar and heard the discussions of the audience who came to watch the Zhuo Family's martial arena from afar.1

"Did you guys hear? The Zhuo Family invited a half-step Void Origin martial artist to participate in the Zhuo Family's martial arts competition this time. What exactly is the Zhuo Family thinking? Could it be that they simply did not want to win the martial arts competition?"

"This time, the Zhuo Family has gathered quite a number of experts. Just the ninth level of the Void Origin Stage alone has more than a dozen. Moreover, according to what I know, the Ke Family also invited a half-step True Origin Stage expert. The Zhuo Family has no chance of winning this combat."

"Half-step True Origin Stage? How could that be possible? This time, the age limit was set. Martial artists above forty years of age were not allowed to participate. Could it be that person had reached half-step True Origin Stage before forty years of age? This is too terrifying! "

... ""

Listening to the discussions of the audience, Ye Hong Tian and Zhuo Wu came to this open space. The two of them looked at each other, their faces revealing surprise.

They did not expect that there would be a half-step True Energy Realm martial artist participating in this battle. He had reached the half-step True Energy Realm before he was forty years old. This talent was definitely a superior talent, although it wasn't the best. But it's good enough to have such talent in this borderland area.
