Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 1949 -

Feng Jun’s plan was simple: the Dragon Gate Tournament... Luohua could participate, but sorry, they really couldn’t participate deeply.

But even without deep involvement, he had to take the championship, the reason being straightforward, Kunlun had already entered the scene. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Feng Jun didn’t think he was being petty, maintaining suppression against Kunlun was necessary, otherwise, inevitably people would gossip, only after Luohua completely crushed Kunlun could he relax the suppression a bit.

Now, the main battlefield for Luohua was shifting towards the Kunhao Plane, but the momentum on the Earth Realm couldn’t be weak, "keeping one and vying for two" possibilities didn’t exist, children make choices, adults take it all!

Li Shishi was a bit stunned, "Champion... Boss, are you talking about me?"

Feng Jun glared at her with dissatisfaction, "Do you think there’s anyone else here?"

"No..." Li Shishi shook her head, after thinking for a moment, she replied in distress, "But Boss, I’ve never won first place before... Oh, I did, once in junior high during a poetry recital contest, I got first in the grade."

After a pause, she continued to express her distress, "Also, last year Senior Chen Shengwang took first place, compared to him I’m far behind, there are so many powerful cultivators in the Dragon Gate Tournament, how could I possibly win?"

"In Luohua people’s dictionary, there’s no ’impossible’," Feng Jun spoke with a stern face, "Originally, I didn’t want to impose this pressure on you, but Kunlun got involved, your task is to represent Luohua... and snipe Kunlun!"

"Snipe... Kunlun?" Li Shishi’s expression was as if she’d eaten two bitter gourds in one go, "This task... okay, it’s not like I don’t want to, but Boss, do you think I can beat Shen Qingyi?"

"Kunlun’s Qi Refinement Realm doesn’t enter the scene, at most it’s the transcending mortality stage," Feng Jun replied solemnly, "Do you think it poses a threat to you?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shishi let out a long breath, "Of course, I’m not afraid of Kunlun’s transcending mortality stage, but Boss... I’m a bit lacking when dealing with martial cultivators, Brother Qiang will enter the scene too, right?"

"Don’t count on him," Feng Jun responded decisively, "Just talk about yourself, do you have confidence to take the championship? There are rewards, you know."

Li Shishi furrowed her brows and thought for a long time, her facial expression also changed, finally she asked, "What’s the reward?"

"You suggest it yourself," Feng Jun replied naturally, "As long as it’s a reasonable request, I’ll agree to it... even if you want to introduce someone into our group, that’s doable."

"Um... then I’ll think about it," Li Shishi’s eyes flickered, "I haven’t decided what I want yet."

Feng Jun nodded, "That’s fine, take your time, no rush... do you have confidence to bring back the championship?"

"In thinking about it carefully, it doesn’t seem too hard," Li Shishi spoke contemplatively, "But I need some talismans, pills... even magic artifacts that can be used by the transcending mortality stage."

"These are all available," Feng Jun nodded, thinking to himself that if he didn’t prepare these things for her, while demanding she must win, that would be unreasonable of him, "You think carefully about what you need, make a list."

After a pause, he continued to speak, "You can consult with Zhang Caixin, design your battle style and methods, if you need consultation, have her help you contact others... remember to keep it confidential."

After sending her away, he remembered that Gazi and the others’ rewards for their trip to Myanmar hadn’t been distributed yet, so he used Divine Sense to inform Gazi and the Little Celestial Master to come over, giving each one five Spirit Stones.

Gao Qiang was cultivating, so Feng Jun waited until he finished before notifying him to come over, and then he swiped a few times on his mobile phone, looked up and glanced at him, "Did Gazi mention the Innate Martial Dao Pill to you?"

"No," Gao Qiang shook his head decisively, "What is that?"

"A pill that can help one advance to the Innate stage," Feng Jun replied solemnly, "If you fail to advance, there’s a certain risk of losing your life and it’s impossible to attempt advancing again for the next twenty years."

Given Gao Qiang’s age, if he waited twenty years to make another attempt, he’d be nearing sixty, a sixty-year cycle is a Jiazi, advancing past sixty means his energy, spirit, and vitality would be significantly reduced.

"I’m willing to take this risk," Gao Qiang answered without hesitation, although his cultivation level was constantly improving, his energy and vitality were no longer naturally growing, they had started to decline, but having cultivated to this point, his goal was no longer just the Innate stage.

Therefore, advancing to the Innate stage is something best attempted sooner rather than later, accepting some risk is inevitable—who in the army hasn’t faced risk before?

"Taking it this year, the success rate is seventy-three percent," Feng Jun stated slowly, "Next year will be seventy-five percent, the year after will be the highest, seventy-eight percent, then it will gradually decline."

After thinking about it, Gao Qiang spoke, "If it were up to me,

I would prefer this year, even if I fail, I can strive for another chance, of course, if you have other plans, I’ll follow your lead."

"Then adjust for half a month," Feng Jun instructed casually, "I’ll take you somewhere for an attempt."

"Alright," Gao Qiang nodded, hesitated a bit and then spoke again, "So, I can’t participate in the Dragon Gate Tournament?"

"Hmm?" Feng Jun frowned slightly, "You plan to participate in the Dragon Gate Tournament?"

Is there something I don’t know happening here?

Gao Qiang scratched his head and replied sheepishly, "Someone said last time that the martial cultivators of Luohua aren’t good, so I’m planning to show them something."

At the last Dragon Gate Tournament, a freestyle fighter indeed implied this. At that time, Di Aixin was disgruntled and charged up to fight, but ended up being taught a harsh lesson by their opponent, until Gao Qiang avenged him.

But Gao Qiang also waited to strike back, when talking about physical fitness, he admitted he’s a bit lacking—a crucial point because the comparison was about fighting skills, not killing skills.

He couldn’t let it go and is considering making a name for himself this time, but if he does reach the Innate level, participating again could be a bit excessive.

Feng Jun laughed and shook his head, "It’s not necessary, saying Luohua’s martial cultivators aren’t good? Haha... do any other martial sects have an Innate cultivator?"

"That’s true," Gao Qiang nodded, "Then I’ll go prepare."

"Hold on," Feng Jun took out a Body Tempering Pill and handed it to Gao Qiang, "Give this to An Hejun; it’s his reward for going to Myanmar."

The Body Tempering Pill is not just an elixir for cultivation, it has strong detoxifying and meridian-cleansing effects even for regular people.

Gao Qiang was stunned for a moment upon receiving it, "Giving it to him now?"

Feng Jun smiled indifferently, "For a task involving killing, a Body Tempering Pill isn’t much. Tell him to work hard, and if his results are outstanding, he might begin cultivation earlier."

Gao Qiang’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, "Starting cultivation earlier... can I tell him?"

Feng Jun nodded, "Of course you can, as long as the results are outstanding... circumstances have changed a bit now,"

Indeed, they’ve changed somewhat. He’s currently considering one question: This Dragon Gate Tournament features Li Shishi, and even Kunlun couldn’t gain much favor, but two years later, the third Dragon Gate Tournament, who would stop Kunlun?

By then, Li Shishi might not have even reached the Qi Refinement Realm, yet the Dragon Gate Tournament has a rule that the top four cannot participate in future tournaments—this is to select talents, it’s the Dragon Gate Tournament, not a fight for Martial World leadership.

Luohua doesn’t lack experts now, but after Li Shishi, there aren’t any noteworthy talents.

This year three people started cultivation, Liu Yuting is slightly older, Zhao Xia is even older, and Liang Siyu is young but she’s on the cultivation path as a mortal with mortal physiques. In two years, can she reach mid-stage Mortal Shedding? Feng Jun thinks it’s unlikely.

So for the third Dragon Gate Tournament, we’ll likely have to select from the eight recently recruited individuals, with the only somewhat hopeful ones being Yang Yuxi with Earth and Water physique, and An Hejun who is destined for martial cultivation.

In truth, An Hejun’s chances are also slim. Though he’s four years younger than Gao Qiang, Gao Qiang began cultivation four years ago, and as for when An Hejun will qualify to start, it’s uncertain.

However, he’s already starting to take on training tasks, so giving him a Body Tempering Pill to lay a foundation early is appropriate.

After Gao Qiang left, Feng Jun couldn’t help but shake his head: It seems the newcomers recruited this time will have an exception in their cultivation timing.

He feels like he’s being pushed from behind, but there’s no choice, ultimately the situation is stronger than individuals—who could have expected Kunlun to start participating in these events?

An Hejun returned from Myanmar, eagerly anticipating what rewards he might receive, but hasn’t received any notification.

He asked Gao Qiang, who said Elder Feng wouldn’t go back on his word, but he’s very busy. If he hasn’t mentioned it by the time the year-end bonuses are given, then it’s been forgotten, and by then I can help to ask.

An Hejun felt a bit down, wait until year-end? But on the trip to Myanmar, he witnessed the prowess of Gazi and the Little Celestial Master—Elder Feng can nurture such people, surely he wouldn’t skimp on my rewards... just really too busy.

When he learned the reward was a Body Tempering Pill, he was so happy he nearly jumped for joy; Gao Qiang had mentioned—this kind of elixir is only given after starting cultivation.

He also knew about some side effects of the Body Tempering Pill, and Gao Qiang emphasized them this time, but An Hejun didn’t care—the effect of taking a whole pill is certainly stronger than taking it half by half, would he mind a bit of pain?

Then he tossed and turned for most of the night, thankfully due to his strong will, otherwise he would have disturbed everyone in the number one pump house.

There was certainly no shortage of water beside the number one pump, but he took a bath for a whole hour, washing with soap five times before rinsing off the filthy water, taking another ten minutes.

Regardless, he was in a very good mood today, and Zhong Lijing happened to come out to receive a batch of computers. Seeing his cheerful expression, she asked, "Brother Jun, you seem quite happy... won five million?"

An Hejun was always slightly struck by her beauty and now knew some secrets, couldn’t help but answer with a smile, "Got some rewards from Elder Feng, and also heard some news."
