Chapter 322 Qingzhu's Amazing Beauty

Foundation building!

Xia Qingzhu's aura instantly shocked everyone present!

"How is that possible? There are Foundation Establishment cultivators among the younger generation of the Fudao Group?"

"Who is this? How come I've never heard of him before? Is he a genius they've been hiding? He's been hidden away so well!"

"This woman did not just reach the Foundation Establishment stage today; in other words, she is truly the number one Foundation Establishment expert among the younger generation!"

Everyone was in an uproar and discussing it heatedly!

"Brother Gu, your Fudao Group has been hiding its secrets for far too long!"

"It has such a profound foundation."

"The Restorer Group is really strong; this battle is going to be exciting!"

Many people's attention has also turned to the Fudao Group.

However, everyone inside the Fudao Group was also dumbfounded at this moment.

"Isn't Qingzhu incapable of cultivation?"

"That's right, she's just a mute, and her aptitude has been poor since childhood. How could she suddenly become a Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

"what happened?"

Elder Deng's two granddaughters, Cheng Yusu and Xia Qingzhu, are both exceptionally talented and utterly useless, a fact known to all.

In his early years, Elder Deng tried various methods, but none of them could make Xia Qingzhu a cultivator.

But now it has transformed so dramatically, it's truly stunning?

"Brother Deng, what... what's going on?"

Gu Ruoxu stared in disbelief at Deng Huaigu.

"When did Qingzhu acquire such cultivation?"

Jiang Zhigong and others were also extremely puzzled.

Even Yang Lianlu frowned deeply, utterly perplexed.

When he sent people to seize Li Lan's immortal techniques, Xia Qingzhu had revealed that she was a cultivator, so he naturally knew that Xia Qingzhu was capable of cultivation.

But according to the information at the time, Xia Qingzhu should only be in the late stage of Qi Refining.

If Xia Qingzhu were strong enough, how could she have been stabbed by his men, and even be left in a life-or-death situation?

It's only been a few days!

He jumped from the late stage of Qi Refining to the Foundation Establishment stage?

When did foundation building become as simple as eating and drinking?

"Father, what on earth is going on?!"

Even Cheng Yusu's mother, Deng Kexin, was questioning him with some resentment at this moment.

She felt deceived and kept in the dark.

Elder Deng simply said:

Do you know why Li Daojie became the number one genius of the Li family?

Before anyone could answer, he said, "Because, for all these years, Li Daojie has been sucking Li Lan's blood!"

"It was Li Lan's blood that caused the change in her bloodline, which is why she was able to overpower all the heroes in the world and break through to the Foundation Establishment stage at such a young age!"

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.

Is Li Lan's blood really that important?

"Li Chengyuan, am I telling the truth?"

Deng Huaigu looked directly at Li Chengyuan, who was not far away!

Li Chengyuan was already surprised to see that there were Foundation Establishment cultivators among the younger generation of the Fudao Group. Now, when questioned by Deng Huaigu, his face darkened and he remained silent.

Li Lan is indeed a secret of the Li family!

Seeing that Li Chengyuan remained silent, many people were taken aback. This meant that Elder Deng's words were true.

“I told you all long ago that Li Lan was destined to rise to prominence. His talent is unparalleled, and he is the one destined for greatness!”

Deng Huaigu said, word by word, "You want to know why Qingzhu suddenly became able to speak, and why she has made such rapid progress?"

"It's very simple. Qingzhu has already made a marriage agreement with Li Lan. She is now Li Lan's fiancée."

"When Qingzhu was attacked at my residence, Li Lan donated half of his blood to save her, which is why Qingzhu was able to achieve such a leap!"

—This was the story that Li Lan and he had already agreed upon.

If Xia Qingzhu is truly forced to take action, she will definitely need an explanation.

Li Lan's blood is the best answer. His blood created a genius like Li Daojie, and it is only natural that it has transformed Xia Qingzhu.

These words caused an uproar throughout the room.

"It's because of Li Lan?"

"Really? His blood has such effects?"

"So, Xia Qingzhu and Li Daojie, two of the strongest geniuses of our time, are actually both made because of him?"

All eyes were fixed on Li Lan.

"Fellow Daoist Li, is what Elder Deng said true? Is Li Daojie's talent truly due to Li Lan?"

At this moment, Yang Lianlu suddenly spoke directly to Li Chengyuan again to confirm!

As he spoke, his sleeves rolled up slightly, revealing a pattern embroidered with gold thread!

That pattern was the symbol of the adults behind them, which meant that Yang Lianlu was confirming this matter with Li Chengyuan as one of their own.

Li Chengyuan's face was extremely gloomy, but he had no choice but to answer. He snorted coldly and said, "My daughter is exceptionally talented. Li Lan's blood is merely an aid."

Although he said that, he also admitted one thing—Li Daojie really used Li Lan's blood!

"Hehe, I've heard that Mr. Yang of the Fudao Group is incredibly shrewd. How come you haven't discovered a talent like Li Lan?"

Li Chengyuan retorted, saying that although they were all working for those officials, the last trip to Mount Song had already created a rift between the Li family and Yang Lianlu and others.

Upon hearing this, Yang Lianlu's face darkened, and he remained silent.

He was indeed a little annoyed that he hadn't even noticed!

Meanwhile, the others in the room were already discussing it again:

"It's actually true! Li Lan's blood can create geniuses? Wow, does that mean he's the real number one genius?"

"If we could obtain his blood, wouldn't that mean we could stand shoulder to shoulder with Xia Qingzhu and Li Daojie?"

"Forget about it. He's highly valued by the Restorationists now. Getting his blood is harder than climbing to heaven!"

Many people were incredibly envious, wishing they could rush up and bite Li Lan, treating him like a piece of Tang Monk's flesh.

Cheng Yusu, in particular, was completely stunned at that moment...

Isn't Li Lan a good-for-nothing?

Over forty years old, only at the second level of Qi Refining, what makes him...?

At that moment, a strange sense of regret flashed through her mind!

If she hadn't refused the engagement, everything Li Lan had would have belonged to her. She should be the one breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage today, and she wouldn't have had to suffer the pain of being defeated by Li Daojie...

For a moment, she felt somewhat unbalanced!

"Father, you knew this all along, but you only said it now? How biased you are!"

Deng Kexin said resentfully, "What? Xia Qingzhu is your granddaughter, but Yu Su isn't your bloodline?"

Upon hearing this, Deng Huaigu coldly replied, "You were the ones who wanted to break off the engagement, so what face do you have left to say these things?"

Deng Kexin looked unwell!

At this moment, Morton, the special envoy of the Global Alliance, also stood up and said, "It's truly astonishing that China has such talent!"

He walked straight over, handed Li Lan a business card, and said, "Hello, I'm Morton. If you have the opportunity, you're welcome to visit the Global Alliance. I believe you can make even greater contributions to the cause of all mankind!"

This is blatant poaching in front of everyone!?

Everyone had complicated expressions.

"Brother Deng, we absolutely cannot let Li Lan get away!"

"Yes, if he goes to the Global Alliance, he won't be able to come back!"

"I suggest that Li Lan be promoted to hall master immediately... no, he should be given the position of elder directly!"

Gu Ruoxu and the others were now in a panic.

Li Lan is no longer Li Lan. Now he is a treasure. Whoever can get his blood will have a brand new future!

They were all filled with regret. If they had known this would happen, they should have treated Li Lan better before...

Li Lan accepted Morton's business card and simply said, "If I have the chance, I will visit the Global League."

"OK!"

Morton nodded and said, "In that case, let's continue to focus on this match—"

He turned around and said, "The battle can continue."

All eyes in the stadium returned to the field.

"Both of them received Li Lan's blood; I wonder who is stronger?"

I think Li Daojie has a better chance of winning. She has been cultivating for longer and has far more experience than Xia Qingzhu.

"That's true. Xia Qingzhu's rise was too sudden. Her foundation is unstable, and she lacks practical experience!"

Many people spoke up.

And on the arena.

Li Daojie looked at Xia Qingzhu, his eyes darkening slightly.

She thought that breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage meant she was invincible among the younger generation, but unexpectedly, Xia Qingzhu appeared out of nowhere...

"Are you his fiancée?"

She spoke coldly, "Very well, everything he has originally belonged to my clan. Now, by killing you, the blood in your veins will also belong to our Li family!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she charged directly at Xia Qingzhu. Her materialized spiritual power brought with it an astonishing gale, and her footsteps left one footprint after another on the ground!

Seeing this, Xia Qingzhu was somewhat flustered and hurriedly formed a hand seal, creating a light screen in front of her with spiritual energy.

"As expected, Xia Qingzhu has the realm but no real combat experience!"

"She's so flustered, she's bound to fail."

"Pity!"

Many people shook their heads upon seeing this.

"You're going to lose too!..."

Cheng Yusu, meanwhile, was muttering to herself unconsciously. She stared at Xia Qingzhu's back, her eyes filled with resentment and anger.

She actually hoped that Xia Qingzhu would also suffer a crushing defeat!

Perhaps only in this way could she feel a little better...

On the arena, Li Daojie sneered, unleashing a powerful surge of energy, ready to finish the battle in one fell swoop. She concentrated all her spiritual power to deliver a single blow, her intention no longer merely to defeat her opponent, but to kill them!

Boom!

A vast amount of spiritual energy swept away.

However, the next moment, all of her attacks struck Xia Qingzhu's light barrier and were instantly bounced back—

"what?!"

Li Daojie was shocked on the spot. The gale and force rebounded, and she was powerless to stop it. It felt as if she had been hit hard in the chest, and she was sent flying backwards in an instant!

boom.

She crashed onto the edge of the ring, struggling to get up, but felt completely powerless...

"impossible……"

She looked at Xia Qingzhu with almost despair!

The opponent defeated her without even making a move; he merely defended.

She can't accept it!

At this moment, the invincible Dao heart she had cultivated over many years shattered almost instantly!

……

The surrounding stands were now deathly silent, everyone staring at Xia Qingzhu in disbelief!
