There is a book in my Dantian

Yuan Shangdu City, in the residence of the Great Qin Academy!

The essence of the sun and the moon poured into his body like a waterfall, allowing Chen Hao to clearly feel the rapid improvement of his cultivation.

After the essence of the sun and the moon disappeared completely, his cultivation had been promoted to the middle stage of the third stage of the Qi Refining Stage, and only a trace of the essence of the sun and the moon was needed to break through the third stage of the high stage of the body refining stage.

Chen Hao roughly calculated that even if he relied on meditation to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, it would take at most three to five days for his cultivation to be successfully promoted to the third stage of the high stage of the body refining stage.

The breakthrough in cultivation and the improvement in strength made Chen Hao couldn't help but reveal a happy smile.

It was indeed a thing worth celebrating and being happy to be able to improve his cultivation by a small stage before the rematch, and his strength was close to the sixth stage of the body refining stage.

But what made Chen Hao even happier was that when the essence of the sun and the moon poured into his body just now, he found that his mind was extremely clear again. His understanding of the Qingfeng Qisha swordsmanship martial arts became very easy in an instant, which made him confident that he could thoroughly master the essence of the first three moves of Qingfeng Qisha when participating in the semi-finals.

Using the ninth-grade intermediate spirit stone to consolidate his cultivation after the breakthrough, Chen Hao began to practice the swordsmanship martial arts of the first three moves of Qingfeng Qisha, trying to master the essence of these three swordsmanship martial arts and the style of change.

……!

"Brother Chen, your cultivation has broken through!" Zhao Zhong, with a heavy face, came to the attic, intending to take Chen Hao and others to participate in the semi-finals, but found that Chen Hao, standing in the yard, was immersed in the practice of swordsmanship.

There was still some time before the semi-finals, and Zhao Zhong did not disturb his practice for the time being, but carefully observed the swordsmanship he practiced.

When Chen Hao used his spiritual power and sword skills to form thirty-six whirlwinds, Zhao Zhong unexpectedly discovered that his cultivation had been raised from the early stage of the third level of the body refining period to the middle stage of the third level of the body refining period, and his heavy face suddenly relaxed a lot.

Just like Yue Ying, Zhao Zhong did not expect that the players participating in the semi-finals this time would not only be stronger than before, but also a little outrageous.

In the past, the cultivation of the tenth major perfection peak of the Qi Refining Period had the chance to win the final championship, and the cultivation of the first level of the body refining period did not even need to participate in the semi-finals, and could directly determine the champion of the semi-finals and then directly participate in the finals.

After all, players in the body refining stage can fly in the air. Facing the air attack, players in the Qi refining stage rarely have the means and opportunities to fight back.

But this time!

The cultivation of the tenth major perfection of the Qi Refining Period may not necessarily guarantee to enter the top thirty-six in the finals, and the cultivation of the first level of the body refining period is difficult to enter the top ten steadily. This has caused a severe shake in the confidence that Chen Hao can advance to the finals and even win the championship.

Fortunately, Chen Hao's breakthrough in cultivation and his mastery of the Qingfeng Seven Killings Sword Technique strengthened Zhao Zhong's wavering confidence.

"It's a coincidence!" Chen Hao simply responded, put away his long sword, and then stood beside Zhao Zhong.

Looking at Chen Hao, Zhao Zhong opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing. It was useless to say more about the strength of the contestants this time. In the end, Chen Hao still needed to judge for himself.

Zhao Zhong's arrival made everyone in the attic who had already prepared leave the room quickly, looking at him with a little excitement and nervousness.

"Let's go!" The strength of the contestants participating in the semi-finals this time made Zhao Zhong feel a lot of pressure. He was too lazy to say the words that needed to motivate everyone. He simply gave an order and turned to leave the attic.

Looking at the depressed Zhao Zhong, Chen Hao frowned slightly, wondering why he was so depressed today when he was so excited yesterday.

Did he encounter something difficult to solve!

When he arrived at the square for the semi-finals, after seeing the contestants from other kingdoms, family forces, and the Great Yuan Dynasty, Chen Hao finally understood why Zhao Zhong was in a low mood.

There were already 17 contestants in the physical training stage, not counting him and Xiao Se, and more than 30 contestants who had reached the tenth major perfection of the Qi training stage.

In other words, of the ten contestants from Yue Kingdom, except for himself and Xiao Se who could advance to the top 36 of the finals, the remaining eight had no chance at all.

At the same time, he finally understood why Yue Ying wanted to humiliate herself so much. Perhaps she had already learned about the cultivation and strength of the contestants participating in the semi-finals in advance, and knew that it would be difficult to advance to the top 36 with her own strength.

Turning his head to look at the nervous Chen Xin, Chen Yanan, and Chen Yahong, Chen Hao thought about it, but in the end he did not speak to comfort them.

There were nearly 40 kingdoms and family forces belonging to the Great Yuan Dynasty. In the Great Yuan Dynasty, which was considered to be more powerful, the number of contestants participating in the semi-finals this time reached more than 400.

More than 400 people may not sound like there are as many players in the preliminaries, but the preliminaries of all bases are to eliminate those players with ordinary strength through a melee at the beginning, and then proceed to the final elimination round.

The rematch starts with a one-on-one elimination fight, so the rematch takes a long time and requires a lot of competition.

Fortunately, the venue used by the Yuan Dynasty to hold the rematch is large, enough to accommodate hundreds of competitions, which can speed up the rematch process.

Among all the forces belonging to the Yuan Dynasty, Yue State ranks relatively low, only slightly stronger than Wu State and Jin State, and ranks third from the bottom.

Therefore, the area where the Yue State contestants stand is the farthest from the rostrum, and they can't see clearly or hear the conversation on the rostrum.

But for a person who has reached the third middle stage of the body refining stage and whose body has been transformed by the Supreme Emperor Book, Chen Hao's eyesight and hearing are very strong. He can see and hear the conversation between the people on the rostrum, but he did not eavesdrop.

Because the five people on the rostrum, each of them has a cultivation level far beyond the body refining stage, and the momentum that each of them exudes unintentionally makes him feel heavy pressure. He does not want to attract the attention of the five strong men because of his rash behavior.

"Qin Xibo from the Great Qin Academy, Mr. Qin is here!"

"The Emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty is here!"

As the soft and shrill voice came from the air, a middle-aged man in his forties wearing a green robe and with a bottomless cultivation level, and an old man wearing a golden dragon robe and a purple gold crown with a hair tie and gems on his head, appeared in the center of the square.

Seeing the two strong men appearing at the competition venue, Chen Hao suddenly felt a heavy blow to his heart, and the whole person could not help but take a step back.

The two strong men who appeared at the competition site, the old man wearing a golden dragon robe and a purple gold crown inlaid with gems, were very powerful, but far from being strong enough to repel him with just his aura.

Only the middle-aged man in a green robe with a gentle smile on his face was repelled by the aura he accidentally emitted just because he wanted to feel the aura on his body.

Fortunately, the middle-aged strong man had no malice at all, and the counterattack of the aura was just an instinctive reaction, which made him just step back and not suffer any harm.
