I Fuse All Things and Become the Strongest Cultivator

Three days passed in the blink of an eye and the elites from the various forces and the powerful independent cultivators had all obtained qualifications for the second round.

The Eternal Prosperity Sect was no exception.

What was rare was that not a single disciple had been eliminated. Every one of them had obtained a qualification to participate in the second round.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xiao Shou, who had been hiding in his room for nearly three days, could no longer continue avoiding everyone. He had no choice but to remove the restrictions and leave his room.

"Master, all participating disciples of the Eternal Prosperity Sect have gathered. Please give us your instructions." Seeing that Xiao Shou had finally come out, Fu Young breathed a sigh of relief and immediately put on a serious expression as he respectfully asked for instructions.

Meanwhile, Xiao Shou had spent three days hiding, three days feeling uneasy, and three days muttering to himself.

In short, he had spent three days unable to cultivate properly, sleep properly, or do anything properly.

When he saw that Fu Young showed no unusual reaction at all and was wearing such a serious expression, Xiao Shou began wondering whether Fu Young was truly as calm and serious inside as he appeared on the outside.

At the same time, he inexplicably felt a faint sense of disappointment, as though some expectation of his had fallen through. Yet he did not even understand what exactly he had been expecting.

He was somewhat distracted. In the end, he still did not dare meet Fu Young’s gaze, so he simply flicked his sleeve and looked into the distance.

"Since everyone is here, let’s set out immediately!"

"Yes! We respectfully obey the Sect Master’s command!" everyone replied in unison.

This really did have the atmosphere of disciples from the original novel treating their sect master with complete respect. When had everyone started behaving like this?

Xiao Shou led everyone toward the venue of the Heaven Origin Grand Competition while lost in his thoughts.

At the same time, he deliberately avoided looking at Fu Young.

Fu Young thought to himself, "Is Master still angry with me? He hasn’t looked at me even once today, and he hasn’t said a single word to me either... I feel so lonely."

"Master? The great beauty ignored you again today. You didn’t make him angry, did you?" Yao Ming who had been flying around all over the place every day since arriving in the Holy City and was often nowhere to be seen whispered beside Fu Young’s ear.

Ever since seeing the ninth form of his Master’s sword technique three days ago, this fellow seemed afraid to speak loudly whenever the conversation involved his Master.

Had his Master frightened him too?

Thinking about how powerful Xiao Shou was, Fu Young could not help smiling. However, he mercilessly replied to Yao Ming, "Shut up!"

When they arrived at the Heaven Origin Grand Competition venue, Xiao Shou once again took his seat on the Nine Dragon Platform.

After sitting down, he discovered that he was the sixth person to arrive. After a while, the sect masters and other leaders from the various forces arrived one after another. Some took their seats, while others entered the designated viewing areas.

The participating disciples also took their positions, and countless spectators gathered outside the venue to watch.

When the appointed time arrived, Lu Wuchen immediately announced the beginning of the second round.

The second round consisted of one on one spell battles.

Before the official matches began, every participating disciple had to draw a numbered token. They would then fight against randomly assigned opponents selected by the elders of the Holy City.

There were four hundred participants across the four cultivation realms, with one hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators, one hundred Golden Core cultivators, one hundred Nascent Soul cultivators, and one hundred Spirit Transformation cultivators.

This round was purely a competition of spells. Using any other method of combat would result in disqualification.

Xiao Shou quietly listened as Lu Wuchen’s senior disciple explained the details of the second round and presided over the drawing of the numbered tokens.

Although his eyes seemed to remain focused on the Nine Dragon Platform and never look below it, his divine sense never relaxed for even a moment. He had been secretly paying attention to Fu Young.

When he saw Fu Young draw token number six, he thought to himself, "Six... Mm! Not bad. That’s quite auspicious number."

Only after letting out a small sigh of relief did Xiao Shou realize that he had once again been paying attention to that brat.

"There’s really no hope for me."

Fu Young was no longer a child. He had even dared to suddenly launch a surprise attack on his own Master. So why was he still worrying about whether Fu Young’s number was auspicious?

If there had been a bed beside him right now, he would have eagerly rushed back to his room and continued rolling around while muttering to himself.

Unfortunately, this was the Nine Dragon Platform. All he could do was maintain a stern expression and sit there with the dignity expected of a sect master, without revealing the slightest emotion.

"Random matching begins!"

With the direct disciple of Lu Wuchen announcing this, clouds and wind suddenly swirled above the four competition arenas. After one breath of time, a different set of numbers appeared above each arena.

Foundation Establishment Arena: 12 VS 59.

Golden Core Arena: 36 VS 91.

Nascent Soul Arena: 97 VS 52.

Good, Young’er wasn’t in the first match.

Just as he thought this, Xiao Shou realized that he had once again started thinking about Fu Young. He was so frustrated that he wanted to knock his head against something.

He had to stop thinking about anything related to Fu Young. However, the more he tried not to think about him, the more Fu Young appeared in his mind.

This chaotic state of mind left him helpless, so he could only force himself to concentrate on the spell battles taking place on the arenas.
