The Second Set: Fog Conceals the Valley of Eight Trigrams True Fire (Upper)

  Crush, complete crush!!!!!

  After the Nine Fire Dragon showed such overwhelming strength, Fengming Valley completely fell silent.

  All the sober people stared at this nine-flame dragon in astonishment, and no one could utter a word, let alone speak provocatively.

  What's there to challenge?

  Lian Guang's victory was overturned, the Master-level Golden Giant defeated, and even the Seventh Prince who had cultivated the Sword Intent also lost!!

  Is there anyone else who has enough confidence to surpass these few people and challenge Wang Guanlan again?

  Even if they could surpass these people, how many of them would have the confidence to emerge unscathed when facing this infinitely powerful Nine Fire Dragon Flame?

  Just now, everyone has already clearly felt Wang Guanlan's killing intent. Wang Guanlan did not kill the Seventh Prince, not because he was particularly kind, but because of the Seventh Prince's special identity. If it were someone else, they would have been killed by Wang Guanlan's fierce killing intent.

  After roaring several times, the surroundings finally quieted down. Wang Guanlan then coldly said, "If you don't challenge now, there will never be another chance to challenge again. If anyone else is like this Seventh Prince, I won't care if you came from outside the formation or were originally inside it - I'll kill without pardon!!"

  With this ruthless declaration, a chill killing intent instantly spread out and permeated the entire Phoenix Valley.

  After a while, still no one responded. The Nine Fire Dragon dispersed again, revealing Wang Guanlan's figure.

  This time, however, Wang Guanlan's situation changed again, becoming even more bizarre. A faint red flame wrapped around his body, lingering for a long time without dissipating.

  "This is...!" Wang Bizheng suddenly shook violently on the high platform, took a step forward and came to Wang Guanlan's face, "Guanlan, have you broken through?!"

  "Breakthrough?!" Wang Guanlan was taken aback at first, but soon discovered his own abnormality. The internal energy in his dantian had unknowingly filled his entire body, and the knife-like aura emanating from him carried a scorching heat that radiated outward through his meridians, seeping out of his pores and dispersing around his body, forming clusters of golden flames that seemed to flicker like illusions.

  "Not bad, not bad, you've indeed broken through! Earthly Fiery True Fire, this is the Earthly Fiery True Fire! Hahaha... For 160 years, a full 160 years, my Ning Wang Fu has finally produced an offspring with complete Earthly Fiery True Fire form! Good, good, good!!"

  "What's the complete form of Di Sha True Fire?!" Wang Guanlan's heart skipped a beat, and he felt an overwhelming surge of excitement.

  Martial artist, internal energy breakthrough to Lianqi four layers, is to step into the condensation gas field, the characteristics of the condensation gas field is that the internal energy has a solid state.

  What is reality?

  It can also be interpreted from the literal meaning, that is, a real and tangible form.

  At this stage, the martial artist can release their internal energy to a certain extent, and the released internal energy is no longer formless and intangible, but has taken on specific forms and properties. For example, if your internal energy belongs to the water element of the five elements, the output internal energy may be accompanied by dense fog, and when you reach the seventh layer of refining energy, you can even condense your internal energy into dew drops or a stream of water. If your internal energy belongs to the metal element, after inputting it, you can even form a solid outer skin outside your body, like metal, greatly enhancing your defensive power.

  These are the most common internal Qi solid states.

  The thing most closely related to the physical state of internal energy is not the method of practice, but rather the body's blood vessels.

  The properties of innate Qi can be said to have been decided in the womb.

  The effect of practicing the method two days later is not great, this is a common problem in this world. A martial artist can feel it when they start practicing. If they practice a martial art that matches their own attribute, they can achieve twice the result with half the effort. If they practice a martial art that does not match their physical attribute, it will be twice the effort for half the result, and there may even be danger.

  For example, if you let a person of the water element practice the fire element's gongfa, don't mention practicing to the fourth layer of Lianqi, it's likely that even when practicing to the second layer of Lianqi, when the internal energy suddenly increases, they will go crazy and die from entering fire.

  It's precisely because of this that most warriors, when cultivating, initially choose attribute-less or five-element-attribute-unrelated cultivation methods to build their foundation. In the Ning Wang Fu's library, which is typical of aristocratic families, all five-element kung fu methods are complete and won't let you choose the wrong method for cultivation.

  The attribute of a person's bloodline directly determines what kind of attribute their internal energy will have after the four layers of Qi refinement. Of course, this attribute is not singular, some people's internal energy has several attributes, even if the internal energy's actual state has different attributes, martial artists will choose one as the main and cultivate others in addition.

  However, for ordinary warriors who cultivate their internal energy, it condenses into a tangible form, and its shape is the same as that of ordinary yuanqi.

  For example, fire attribute, even if it is released, it is just ordinary flame.

  What is an ordinary flame?

  It's the fire you use to cook, the fire you use to boil water, that's ordinary flame. The primordial energy of water is the same, whether it's mist, dew or flowing water, they are all things you encounter in your daily life, the only difference lies in the purity and concentration of the primordial energy...

  But among the warriors, there are some special ones. Due to their family's inheritance and bloodline relationship, the state of their internal energy will be different from others. For example, the Ning Wang Fu lineage belongs to fire, and after they cultivate to the fourth layer of refining energy, their internal energy will all condense into fire-elemental primordial energy. This is because their internal energy state is more powerful than ordinary internal energy states. The reason is that their internal energy state is not just ordinary flames, but also possesses some properties of terrestrial magma flow. This is due to the difference in their bloodline inheritance from ordinary people.

  The bloodline of the Ning Wang Fu can be traced back to a warrior named Wang Zheng 1,800 years ago.

  This king was originally just an ordinary warrior, but later due to a strange fate, he beheaded a Di Xie Huo Qilin and fully absorbed its blood and flesh. As a result, his internal energy underwent a transformation, and his physical internal energy acquired some of the properties of the Di Xie Zhen Huo that the Di Xie Huo Qilin was born with. When he cultivated to the seventh layer of Lian Qi, he could completely transform his internal energy into Di Xie Zhen Huo. Compared to ordinary flames, the power of Di Xie Zhen Huo is much stronger, not only can it melt gold and iron, but also easily burn through Ling Qi. In the process of competing, the advantage was too great. Not only that, relying on Di Xie Zhen Huo, the warriors of the Wang family could even comprehend some of the divine abilities of the Di Xie Huo Qilin.

  This is the beginning of the Wang family's rise to power. Since Wang Zheng, every few generations, a martial artist with the true fire of the earth would be born in the Wang family. Even if they were ordinary martial artists, their internal energy would still possess the attributes of the true fire of the earth, making them much stronger than ordinary martial artists. The Wang family gradually prospered as a result. By the time of the founding of the Great Qi dynasty, the ancestor of the Wang family, Ning Wang Wang Rong, not only possessed the true fire of the earth but also used it to comprehend the innate divine ability of the Earth Fire Qilin, the Da Xuan Furnace Technique. He swept through the martial world and established the current Great Qi Ning Wang Fu lineage.

  It is precisely because of this that the entire royal family attaches great importance to the children who can transform their inner energy into true fire, even if they are illegitimate or collateral children. As long as they possess true fire, they will be treated as legitimate heirs. However, it is extremely rare for someone to truly possess true fire. The Wang family appears to produce one such individual only every 200 years or so. Each child who possesses true fire becomes a legendary figure in the Ning Wang Fu, making enormous contributions to its development. The current prestige of the Ning Wang Fu cannot be overstated, and it is all thanks to these individuals' efforts. However, for over 160 years now, no one with true fire has appeared in the Ning Wang Fu, and Wang Bi Cheng had almost given up hope. Who could have predicted that Wang Guan Lan would suddenly give him such a huge surprise?

  Although Wang Guanlan had just broken through to the fourth layer of Qi Refining, the scarlet flames surrounding his body were indeed a sign that he possessed the true fire of Earthly Extermination. Without a doubt, Wang Guanlan was indeed endowed with the true fire of Earthly Extermination.

  As a bastard son of Ning Wangfu, how could he possibly not know about Di Sha True Fire?

  As soon as he thought that he had inexplicably broken through the Gathering Qi stage and reached the Condensing Qi stage, his inner qi was still in a state of true fire, Wang Guanlan's heart was naturally filled with wild joy. However, the joyful feeling in his heart had just risen when it was replaced by a severe pain mixed with intense dizziness.

  "Bad luck, be careful of extreme joy turning into sorrow!!" Wang Guanlan activated his Yuan Chen spiritual technique, forcibly suppressing the discomfort in his body. He managed to squeeze out a faint smile for Wang Bi Cheng, "Father King, let's quickly wrap up things here, the sooner the better. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on till the end!"

  "Oh, good!!" Wang Bicheng was suddenly shocked and only then realized that Wang Guanlan's state was not quite right. He didn't say much and led Wang Guanlan onto the stage. Wang Xiantang and the people in the valley also saw that Wang Guanlan was now at his last gasp, but no one dared to say a word or issue another challenge. Everyone understood the situation, and making a challenge at this time would be equivalent to openly slapping the Ning King's Mansion in the face. It was likely that even before Wang Guanlan accepted the challenge, he would already have been beaten into pulp by the Ning King's Mansion's Taoist soldiers.

  What happened next was a lot more subdued, under the host Wang Xiantang's supervision, the engagement ceremony between Wang Guanlan and Qingling was completed in a compact and solemn atmosphere. From the beginning of the ceremony to the very end, no one else raised any objections, almost everyone's attention was focused on Wang Guanlan, as if they wanted to see him make a fool of himself, to see if he could really get through this ceremony.

  Wang Guanlan disappointed some people, although he! The appearance of the end of the strong crossbow, pale face, mouth corner with blood, eyes full of bloodshot, eyes blurred, a look that would fall down at any time, but until the ceremony ended, he was still standing.

  "Alright, this kid has guts! I've decided, let's go with him!!" After the ceremony ended, Feng Jiu excitedly patted his own thigh, his tone somewhat excited, pointing at Wang Guanlan to a young farmer beside him.
