Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques

Of course, Lu Changsheng was not too intimidated.

Even if the opponent had the Domain-breaking Pearl, it wouldn't pose much of a threat to him.

Because Lu Changsheng was no ordinary Foundation Stage martial artist.

He was a "half-step Divine Power Realm" martial artist.

The laws within his body had long absorbed a trace of the laws from the heavens and earth, and they no longer entirely relied on his brain domain.

The only limitation was that without his brain domain, Lu Changsheng couldn't utilize Divine Arts.

But he could still wield the laws.

Although these treasures were extraordinary, they didn't provide any tangible benefit to Lu Changsheng.

Right now, Lu Changsheng only needed Heavenly Spirit Water; everything else was of little importance.

And besides, none of the treasures could help anyone break through to the Divine Power Realm.

After all, if such a treasure existed, those with noble status would have used it themselves to achieve the breakthrough. They wouldn't have brought it to a treasure contest.

Everyone began presenting their treasures.

Li Guang did the same.

He also presented a treasure worth over 100,000 Spirit Stones.

One item, two items, three items, four items, five items…

Altogether, the attendees brought forward eighteen treasures!

This signified that eighteen factions had gathered at this event.

The treasures contributed by these eighteen factions combined were worth over 1.8 million Spirit Stones!

It was truly astonishing.

The Treasure Contest was an all-or-nothing affair!

No wonder it had grown from an obscure gathering into a major event.

Everyone took it very seriously now.

After all, who wouldn't covet 1.8 million Spirit Stones?

Back in Lu Changsheng's battle against the King of the Fighting Arena, the total bets placed amounted to just over 2 million Spirit Stones.

Now, whoever won this Treasure Contest could instantly claim treasures worth 1.8 million Spirit Stones.

Even those with noble standings were strongly tempted.

Each of them racked their brains to bring their top experts.

Of course, being tempted was one thing; claiming victory was another matter entirely.

Furthermore, not just anyone could participate in the Treasure Contest.

It required identity verification.

Weaker factions didn't even qualify to enter the contest.

For instance, if Lu Changsheng wanted to join, he could only do so as Li Guang's assistant.

Entering on his own? Impossible.

He didn't have the qualifications!

Otherwise, countless Foundation Stage martial artists would have been drawn in by the stakes.

Betting 100,000 for 1.8 million—a tenfold return. Who wouldn't be tempted?

"All Foundation Stage martial artists or Foundation Establishment Daoist Monarchs planning to participate in the Treasure Contest, step forward now."

Wu Shun announced.

"Swoosh."

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes.

Li Guang, with a serious expression, said, "Brother Lu, when you take action, don't hold back. Kill if you must!"

"Above all, make sure you eliminate the person Qi Tianyi brought, no matter what!"

Following Li Guang's gaze, Lu Changsheng spotted the martial artist standing next to Qi Tianyi.

That person was also a Foundation Stage martial artist.

However, he was an elderly man.

The man looked ordinary, short and wiry.

At first glance, there didn't seem to be anything special about him.

But given that Qi Tianyi had brought him to the Treasure Contest, it was clear he wasn't a simple character.

"Understood."

Lu Changsheng responded indifferently.

At this point, the top experts from the eighteen factions began stepping forward one by one.

Most of them were Foundation Stage martial artists.

There were eight Foundation Establishment Daoist Monarchs.

And ten Foundation Stage martial artists.

Each of them carefully scrutinized the others with solemn expressions.

After all, while the eighteen factions only risked treasures and manpower, their fighters faced real life-and-death stakes.

For people like Lu Changsheng, this was essentially a battle for survival.

Of course, the Treasure Contest allowed participants to concede defeat.

However, the consequences of admitting defeat were unpredictable.

At this moment, Wu Shun stepped forward with a smile and declared, "The first round of the Treasure Contest: Survive for fifteen minutes within the Yin-Yang Destruction Tower!"

"Elder Qing, if you may."

Wu Shun nodded respectfully toward an elderly man in a Daoist robe seated nearby.

Elder Qing was a fearsome Golden Core True Master!

For Wu Shun to have a Golden Core True Master as a follower spoke volumes of his terrifying background and status.

After all, Golden Core True Masters were typically extremely wealthy and rarely bound themselves to any family or large faction.

But Elder Qing was clearly an exception.

Even so, despite following Wu Shun, Wu Shun maintained utmost respect toward him.

Elder Qing nodded slightly, then scanned the room with cold eyes before saying, "The Yin-Yang Destruction Tower contains the Power of Destruction derived from yin and yang, an incredibly potent force. If it invades your body, Foundation Stage and Foundation Establishment cultivators will inevitably perish!"

"So, the moment you can't hold on, concede immediately, and I will extract anyone who surrenders from the Yin-Yang Destruction Tower. Otherwise, you'll be inside until the fifteen minutes are up."

The eighteen experts all felt a chill run down their spines.

With a wave of his hand, Elder Qing summoned a miniature tower that expanded rapidly in the wind until it pierced the clouds.

"Enter."

The towering gates of the Yin-Yang Destruction Tower swung open.

Without hesitation, the eighteen participants, having already committed to the contest, flew into the tower instantly.

"Haha, I wonder which faction's expert will emerge victorious this time?"

"I'm unsure who will shine, but for the first round—surviving the Yin-Yang Destruction Tower for one hour—I believe my faction's expert should manage without issue."

"Indeed. Elder Qing's Yin-Yang Destruction Tower is notorious, but as long as he doesn't unleash the Yin-Yang True Thunder, surviving one hour shouldn't be too daunting."

"Elder Qing definitely won't use the Yin-Yang True Thunder. That's Golden Core-level destruction! If he unleashed it, none of the eighteen faction's experts could withstand it. They'd all be annihilated!"
