Supreme Dragon Martial Soul-Chapter 312: Three Sects Martial Arts Competition, The True Culprit Behind the Scenes!

Chapter 312: Chapter 312: Three Sects Martial Arts Competition, The True Culprit Behind the Scenes!

Washing Body Pond!

Luo Cheng raised an eyebrow. He had seen records of the Washing Body Pond in the Xuanyuan Record.

At the time, he only took a quick glance and learned that the Washing Body Pond was a secret location of the Xuanyuan Sect, but its purpose was unclear.

Judging by the crowd’s reaction, this Washing Body Pond seems quite extraordinary?

"Is this reward really so incredible?"

Luo Cheng turned his head and asked Chen Lingyu.

"Of course!"

Chen Lingyu came to her senses, her eyes shimmering with strange brilliance, and said with great envy:

"The Three Great Sects were all established on sites rich in cultivation resources, each with its own secret locations. These places boast mystical powers and are immensely beneficial for cultivation."

"For instance, Luoxia Sect’s Seven-Colored Spring not only speeds up cultivation progress but also helps maintain youthful looks and nourish beauty! Fierce Cloud Sect’s Crack Fire Valley contains Earth Evil True Fire that can refine the body and strengthen the spirit—it’s phenomenally effective for cultivating Fire Element Techniques, dramatically amplifying their power!"

"Our Xuanyuan Sect’s Washing Body Pond shares a reputation equal to Seven-Colored Spring and Crack Fire Valley. Cultivating there allows one to peel and wash the marrow, transforming oneself entirely! Even most Inner Sect Disciples aren’t qualified to enter! Using it as a reward for Outer Disciples is simply unprecedented!"

Peeling and washing the marrow, transforming oneself completely!

Luo Cheng’s heart instantly raced, and his eyes burned with eager anticipation.

Having cultivated True Dragon Power, his strength surpassed 1.8 million pounds—far beyond his current realm!

The price was that his physical body’s toughness couldn’t keep up with his power, and every time he exerted his full force, his body would feel overwhelmed.

This was one reason he preferred not to use True Dragon Power.

The Washing Body Pond’s ability to refine the body and improve oneself perfectly suited his needs!

As long as his physical toughness aligned with his power, his overall strength would undoubtedly surge to a new level!

"I understand now!"

Chen Lingyu’s eyes sparkled as she laughed gleefully: "This mysterious reward must have been prepared specifically for Qi Guyun! You really scored big by snatching it away!"

"Qi Guyun?"

Luo Cheng froze momentarily, then quickly deduced the key point.

If not for his participation, Qi Guyun would undoubtedly have been the champion of this Outer Sect contest!

If his guess was correct, the opportunity to enter the Washing Body Pond was arranged by Jin Min to help Qi Guyun advance to the Awakening Vein Realm!

"What a pity! It all became a gift for me!"

Luo Cheng’s face broke into a smile.

At this moment, Great Elder Qin Yun announced once again:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Xuanyuan Sect Outer Sect competition concludes here! The dining hall has been prepared with celebratory feasts, and I sincerely hope you will attend."

"Additionally, the Outer Sect’s top ten disciples, prepare yourselves. After the New Year’s holiday, on the second day of February, you’ll head together to Jinyu Peak!"

Roar!

As soon as Qin Yun’s voice fell, the entire square exploded into fervent chatter.

"Heading to Jinyu Peak! Tsk, I almost forgot—the triennial Three Sects Martial Arts Competition is near!"

"At that time, the top ten Outer Sect disciples from the Three Great Sects will gather together for the ultimate showdown!"

"Originally, I thought this year’s Three Sects Martial Arts Competition wouldn’t bring much hope for Xuanyuan Sect—another year at the bottom rankings. But with Luo Cheng, this anomaly, things might turn out interesting!"

"Indeed, Luo Cheng not only cultivated Dragon Power but also grasped Human Sword Integration. Even if he doesn’t surpass Fierce Cloud Sect or Luoxia Sect’s most talented individuals, he won’t disgrace Xuanyuan Sect."

"Haha, it’s already disgraceful enough to let a waste Martial Soul cultivator become the Outer Sect’s chief disciple!"

Among the spectators were prominent figures and influential personalities who immediately understood the significance of the second day of February.

The Three Sects Martial Arts Competition...

Hearing the discussions around him, Luo Cheng froze briefly, then narrowed his eyes sharply.

Sun Chuanwu is one of Fierce Cloud Sect’s top ten Outer Sect disciples! He will surely head to Jinyu Peak on February 2nd!

"Heh! Sun Chuanwu! How exciting."

Cold laughter echoed in Luo Cheng’s heart.

Sitting beside him, Chen Lingyu was taken aback.

Just for an instant, she felt a suffocating and chilling killing intent!

With the Outer Sect competition over, the crowd began to rise and disperse.

As Luo Cheng stood up, a group of people gathered around him.

"Young Hero Luo, achieving the title of Xuanyuan Sect’s chief Outer Disciple at such a young age! Truly remarkable! I am the Second Elder of Linjiang City’s Jiang Family—this is my family’s name card! I hope Young Hero Luo will honor us with a visit to our Jiang Family when in Linjiang City!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Luo! I hope you will stop by our Jin Family when next in Imperial City!"

"Young Hero Luo, excellent martial talent! I am Xu Shanhai, head escort of the Jingfeng Escort Agency. Are you interested in becoming a tributor for our agency? The conditions are negotiable..."

Various individuals introduced themselves, handing name cards to Luo Cheng, all hoping to establish ties or recruit him as a tributor or guest elder!

Luo Cheng, surrounded like a star among stars, recalled his master’s words about the merits of fame.

However, he noticed that those offering their name cards were merely representatives of smaller, less influential groups.

The major families and powerful factions, on the other hand, gathered around the other top disciples.

Luo Cheng understood the reason—it had to be related to his awakened wasted Martial Soul.

Indeed, his speculation proved true.

Though his strength was clearly impressive, the crowd didn’t hold high expectations for his future.

The nature of his wasted Martial Soul meant his potential would eventually hit a ceiling. Sooner or later, he’d be surpassed by other top disciples—or even ordinary disciples!

Moreover, Luo Cheng had offended the Eighth Prince Jin Min—his survival was uncertain.

Given the circumstances, why not build relationships with the other top disciples, who could bolster their respective clans when they matured?

Luo Cheng didn’t care. He accepted the name cards and politely said:

"You’re too kind. Should an opportunity arise, I will certainly pay a visit!"

Just then, a petite figure squeezed through the crowd.

"Ah Mu!"

Luo Cheng instantly recognized the person. Glancing around, he failed to find the veiled girl nearby and asked, "Where’s your mistress?"

Ah Mu’s face no longer displayed its usual arrogance. She offered a respectful bow and smiled:

"Mr. Luo, my lady has returned to Linjiang City. She asked me to relay an invitation to meet her at Lingyun Pavilion in Linjiang City at your convenience."

"She left?"

Luo Cheng frowned.

"By the way, my lady also wanted me to give you this item. Mr. Luo, I’ll take my leave now."

Ah Mu handed Luo Cheng a brocade pouch and departed swiftly.

Watching the crowd that surrounded him, Luo Cheng felt a pang of helplessness.

Fame wasn’t always a blessing—it often brought countless troubles.

As the sun began to set, Luo Cheng finally extricated himself from the crowd and left Martial Arts Square alongside Chen Lingyu and the others.

"Haha! Luo Cheng, we should celebrate tonight!"

Having witnessed Luo Cheng ascend to the position of chief disciple, Tuoba Lie basked in pride, his voice elevated in excitement.

Luo Cheng smiled faintly, recalling the pouch Ah Mu had left. He retrieved it and opened it, but his expression froze immediately.

In the next moment!

Buzz!

A wave of tangible killing intent burst forth, and the scroll in Luo Cheng’s hand instantly turned to dust, scattering with the wind!

"Luo Cheng, what’s the matter?"

Tuoba Lie and the others were startled.

"It’s nothing."

Luo Cheng shook his head and smiled. "I have some matters to attend to. I’ll head back first."

Turning away, the smile on Luo Cheng’s face faded, replaced with an icy cold glare.

The scroll had contained just a few words: The one who posted the bounty order on the black market to take your life is Fierce Cloud Sect Outer Elder Sun Yingyang!
