Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Gao Qiu’s Ruler lay on the ground, exceptionally furious, but considering this was in front of Emperor Yun, a shred of rationale informed him that he could only harbor that harsh critique within his heart.

Once, he prided himself on having thick skin, treating others’ sarcastic remarks with nonchalance, utterly unfazed.

Now, only just realizing he isn’t indifferent, once truly provoked, he becomes more enraged than anyone else.

"Still not coming back to me!" Prince Rui snorted coldly with a wave of his sleeve.

Gao Qiu’s Ruler could only sheepishly return to Prince Rui’s side to plead for forgiveness.

"We’ll discuss it back home." Prince Rui said in a somber tone.

With Emperor Yun observing, he dared not take any drastic actions.

Not far off, Prince Cui watched the scene, feeling even more pleased, and stroll up to Prince Rui’s side, feigning concern.

"Brother Li, the person I brought this time was a bit rough, hope you’ll pardon."

Prince Rui’s lips twitched. If he recalls correctly, Prince Cui’s words and demeanor are an exact imitation of what he had said to Prince Cui last time with that insincere politeness.

"It’s just skills not matching up, there’s no need for Prince Cui to worry."

"Well, I have an injury ointment here from the Prince’s Mansion. I’d be grateful if you’d accept it, otherwise, I feel uneasy." Prince Cui gracefully pulled out a tube of ointment, saying.

This was also the nauseating act Prince Rui once performed on him.

Except, Prince Rui at least genuinely sent healing elixirs. While today, Prince Cui offered mere common household ointment, only capable of treating minor external injuries.

For the injuries sustained by Gao Qiu’s Ruler’s Grandmaster body, this was naturally useless, purely for a second humiliation.

"Prince Cui is thoughtful. I won’t forget today." Prince Rui spoke coldly.

"Haha, since Brother Li said he won’t forget, then I’m relieved." Prince Cui chuckled, feeling utterly unbothered, easily walking away with a lightened heart.

On the other side.

In the field, that Hook Jade behaved extraordinarily spirited, evading Song Changming’s repeated attempts to grab it, even when he wove a web with Gang Qi, it slipped through.

In an instant, the Hook Jade vanished again into the clouds and Spiritual Qi, disappearing without a trace.

As if its appearance was solely to mock Song Changming.

"What is this thing..." Song Changming watched the Hook Jade slipping away from his grasp, momentarily stunned, surprised by the Jade’s difficulty to catch.

He initially thought the challenge in securing the Celestial Ruins Realm ticket lay in the Martial Arts Grandmasters as competitors.

Now it seems, grabbing the Hook Jade itself is highly challenging.

Moreover, Song Changming was attempting to catch the Hook Jade for the first time, undoubtedly making the task even harder with no experience.

"Can it even block Spiritual Perception?" Song Changming extended his Perception but couldn’t sense the presence of the Hook Jade, nodding subtly to himself.

Suddenly, he noticed a flicker of Spiritual Light, akin to a fish surfacing to breathe.

Song Changming immediately darted over, seeing several participants frantically grabbing in that location, even descending into brawling among Martial Arts Grandmasters.

Among them, Huaqing Pool stood prominently, engaged in mutual hand maneuvering with a truly tall and sturdy figure.

Meanwhile, the Hook Jade continued weaving between their attempts, slipping past Huaqing Pool’s fingertips, then through the other man’s underarm, finally behind Huaqing Pool’s head.

No one could seem to touch the Hook Jade.

Clearly within sight, yet merely teased repeatedly, unable to grasp it.

It turned out that in the fervor, Huaqing Pool and that robust man caught fire, squaring off fiercely.

"Huaqing Pool, cease tarnishing your name, perhaps you should adopt the surname Situ." The burly man blustered freely, maintaining verbal aggression while clashing with Huaqing Pool.

"Silence, Situ Ming!" Huaqing Pool angrily reproached, his movements growing even fiercer, with each gesture conjuring a massive Spiritual Power fluctuation, bending the surrounding mist.

That burly man, however, remained unfazed, his smile growing increasingly unbridled.

"Too bad Hua Lie isn’t here today, I’d much rather engage him."

With those words, Situ Ming’s gaze sharpened, unleashing a fist that sent shockwaves, forcibly pushing Huaqing Pool back.

The very Hook Jade, then freely circulating between the two, suddenly trembled in response to that punch and briefly stopped in midair.

This instant freeze granted Situ Ming the optimal grasping opportunity.

"Got this ticket, won’t have to battle those clan fellows anymore!" Situ Ming grinned, chuckling, as if the Hook Jade was already his possession.

However, as he reached to seize it, another hand emerged from the mist.

"Hmm? How dare you!" Situ Ming widened his eyes, instinctively accelerating his actions.

Slap!

The two hands smacked together in midair, producing a muffled sound.

The next moment, both of them recoiled separately.

"Such force!" Song Changming and Situ Ming both started in surprise.

Song Changming couldn’t recall the last time he encountered an evenly matched opponent in Qi Power.

Similarly, for Situ Ming, since delving into martial arts, concerning physical strength, he always stood unbeaten.

Song Changming is the first to push him back in a Qi Power clash.

Though both attempted to seize the Hook Jade, neither succeeded.

The Hook Jade, much like a startled Little Beast, suddenly dashed beyond sight amid several participants.

"You!" Situ Ming focused, instantly recognizing Song Changming.

In fact, today, nobody present forgot Song Changming’s previous various performances.

Situ Ming equally held a profound impression of Song Changming.

Yet, due to his status and cultivation, he couldn’t afford the shameless gall to engage Song Changming like Gao Qiu’s Ruler did.

But in reality, he yearned to face Song Changming in combat.

Just because Song Changming’s robust physique was remarkably similar to his.

Moreover, Song Changming achieved what he had never before, defeating a Martial Arts Grandmaster as an Innate Martial Artist.

The worth of attaining this feat is incredibly high, forcing him into respect!

"Good lad! Once more!" Situ Ming shouted and, with clenched fists, charged towards Song Changming.

Apparently unbothered by Song Changming disrupting his attempt at the Hook Jade.

In fact, instead of pursuing the Hook Jade again, he was eager to square off with Song Changming some more.

To see who presently held the supreme Body Refining Cultivation prowess!

Consequently, he refrained from tapping into the Grandmaster Essence Blood within the Purple Mansion, relying purely on his flesh strength against Song Changming.

Song Changming was unclear about Situ Ming’s underlying thoughts, yet if he were in his shoes, he’d undoubtedly be irritated at having his chance for the Jade thwarted.

Consequently, it’s no surprise this person harbors such battle intent towards him.

Realizing the opponent merely punched, without invoking weapons, and lacked any overt malice, Song Changming decided to courteously respond in kind.

The two intuitively refrained from using weapons or Gang Qi.

Four fists collided, Giant Strength surging forth, akin to two volcanoes erupting at one another, reminiscent of two Demon Bull Beasts locked in a contest of strength.

Even though Song Changming deployed the Power Ant and Demon Ape Witch Soldier Seals, he managed only a slight edge in that contest of strength.

Fists separated, leading to a more intense hand-to-hand combat erupting between them.

Their exchanged fists flew at breakneck speeds, inducing the surrounding space to wobble.

Spiritual Qi ran wild, faintly manifesting into an Evil Beast silhouette on Situ Ming’s figure.

The sudden escalation between them instantly drew widespread attention.

"Situ Ming, previously I thought the peak of body refinement talent projection was none other than this offspring of the Situ Family, today it seems otherwise..."

The Imperial Capital dignitaries witnessed this, conversing in admiration.

"The immense power in this youth truly embodies more an Evil Beast than Situ Ming!"

"Does this mean Yun Province now harbors two nurtured Evil Beasts?"

"Speak of nurtured, beware of getting devoured by that Evil Beast."

"Haha."

In the field, Huaqing Pool watched Song Changming and Situ Ming fiercely battling, remaining unbeaten, he couldn’t help but be astonished.

He understood the strength of the Situ Family’s Evil Beast, inevitably elevating Song Changming’s appraisal even higher.
