My Master Knows It All-Chapter 531 - 186_4

As Cao Zhen pushed open the door, her gaze immediately fell upon the six Golden Cores behind him.

"These vision-inducing Golden Cores... what terrifying power!" Li Ke sensed the immensely terrifying power emanating from the vision-inducing Golden Cores behind Cao Zhen, and she was greatly amazed. She herself was at the Golden Core Stage, yet she was also an existence of Great Perfection with ten visions.

She could not be more familiar with Golden Cores, especially the vision-inducing ones.

Ordinary vision-inducing Golden Cores did not possess such terrifying power. Cao Zhen’s vision-inducing Golden Cores were abnormal, extremely abnormal!

The six vision-inducing Golden Cores, each surrounded by dragon and tiger illusions, were in line with Cao Zhen’s previous vision-inducing dao platform, vision-inducing Immortal Bridge, and even his vision-inducing inner core, which all featured dragon and tiger visions. It was normal to retain these illusions even after condensing the Golden Cores into actual form.

But the issue with Cao Zhen’s six Golden Cores was that they contained additional visions within them, and these visions were not only different from each other but also looked incredibly chaotic, as if they were formed by different forces converging.

Little Bei Yan had already finished writing ’Master is the greatest’ a thousand times and had rushed over upon sensing the eruption of energy here. Now, looking at the six vision-inducing Golden Cores behind his own master, he suddenly exclaimed, "What did I say? I told you! My master couldn’t possibly have just ten vision-inducing Golden Cores, yet you didn’t believe me and even punished me, making me write ’Master is the greatest’ a thousand times. Look now, does Master have only six vision-inducing Golden Cores?"

Cao Zhen’s face darkened instantly as he looked at Little Bei Yan and asked, "Who exactly punished you just now?"

"My master..." Little Bei Yan, feeling the fierce glance of his Second Senior Sister, stopped mid-sentence, but his eyes were directed towards Yan Yourong, silently indicating to his master who had punished him just a moment ago.

"Very well," Cao Zhen said, looking towards Yan Yourong, "You are in charge of supervising your little junior brother. Make him go back and write ’Master is the greatest’ another thousand times."

Little Bei Yan instantly collapsed, the situation not unfolding as he expected. Why was he the one getting hurt again?

Cao Zhen no longer stayed to speak with his disciples. Although he appeared to be at the sixth layer of the Golden Core Stage, his Golden Cores were not regular vision-inducing Golden Cores. Combined with the power of the heretical Golden Core, no one could compete with him for the first place in the Immortal Martial Competition.

Having broken through to the sixth layer of the Golden Core Stage, the leap in his cultivation base was tremendous. During this night, he was getting accustomed to his own power.

Before the second heavenly hour of the next day, he arrived at the competition stage on time with his five disciples from Four Treasures Peak, Li Ke, and Gu Chengyu, just as before.

As for Wu Jianzi and Lu Yiren, they both ultimately belonged to their own sects and could not stay indefinitely at Yi Mansion. Before yesterday, they had found their sect brothers and returned to their sect’s formation.

The Immortal Martial Competition had progressed to its fourth round, and finally, Gu Chengyu was able to attend the competition in its entirety for the first time.

"This stage... there seem to be quite a few missing."

Upon reaching the mountain peaks, Cao Zhen immediately noticed that the number of stages had decreased.

It made sense; the number of participants was dwindling. If there were still so many stages, half a day would likely be enough to complete a round of matches.

A pace of one round of matches per day was already fast enough; there was no need to have two rounds in a day.

This was a battle between those at the Golden Core Stage, and injuries in battle were inevitable.

If one had just finished a battle in the morning and sustained heavy injuries, how could one fight another round in the afternoon?

Therefore, the limit for the competition was one round per day, leaving at least an evening to recover and heal.

As a result, it was unnecessary to keep so many stages. Each stage previously had its own code, such as Alpha Stage, Beta Stage.

One wonders, for those who were victorious on the now-absent stages, against whom would they fight?

Before long, as the second heavenly hour officially arrived, the fourth round of the Immortal Martial Competition also officially began.

The Alpha Stage had not been removed.

Below the stage, a referee announced loudly at the arrival of the second heavenly hour, "Alpha Stage, Alpha number twenty-six, Hundred Peaks Sect, Four Treasures Peak Master Cao Zhen versus Xi number thirty-seven, Clearfall Sect, from Qingtian Pavilion. Li Qingkong."

Cao Zhen instantly understood that the winners of the canceled stages had been randomly assigned to other stages.

But this Li Qingkong...

Cao Zhen didn’t immediately fly down to the stage but asked with puzzlement at Lan Pili nearby, "Peak Master Lan, what is Li Qingkong’s relationship with Li Qinglei?"

When they had just arrived at Capital City, inside Immortal Reception House, a pavilion master from Clearfall Sect named Li Qinglei had been constantly provoking them. Both people were from Clearfall Sect. Although the appelation mainly came from the pavilion they belonged to...

...their names were too similar and even bore the same surname.

Although Lan Pili did not participate in the Immortal Martial Competition, having come to Capital City, it wouldn’t make sense to watch alone and then return to Hundred Peaks Sect on his own.

Thus, he also stayed to observe the competition. He had traveled with Cao Zhen to Capital City, which had made them quite familiar with each other. Lan Pili naturally stood beside Cao Zhen and heard Cao Zhen’s question, quickly explaining, "Li Qingkong is Li Qinglei’s younger brother.

Although Li Qinglei is the older brother, his talent is not as good as his younger brother’s. The two brothers did not enter the same pavilion.

Thunderbolt Tower is considered one of the lower-ranked pavilions within Clearfall Sect, but Qingtian Pavilion is among the top ten. It is customary in Qingtian Pavilion to address the pavilion master as ’Qingtian’, such as their current master whose surname is Zhang, and everyone calls him Zhang Qingtian."
