Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

However, now is not the time to vie for supremacy.

Huaqing Pool was much more rational than Situ Ming, and with a movement, he bypassed the two in battle and continued to pursue that Hook Jade.

"Joyful! How delightful! Kid, you’re even better-built than that Hua Lie!" Although Situ Ming was suppressed in pure physical strength and speed, the more he fought, the more enthusiastic he became, showing great tenacity.

Another War Maniac!

Song Changming was not unfamiliar with such war maniacs and martial fools like Situ Ming.

Many martial artists immersed in the Martial Tao are naturally belligerent, like Situ Ming, rejoicing when meeting a strong enemy, fearing nothing.

Some would even fight until exhausted and dead, born and dying for battle.

Song Changming had encountered many such opponents and enemies, who would not settle unless beaten into the ground.

Yet, this war maniac in front of him, he couldn’t defeat.

The opponent did not use grandmaster cultivation, only relying on physical strength to entangle with him, equivalent to using less than half of his strength to spar with him.

In contrast, Song Changming had already exerted nearly his full strength with the Four Seals.

Situ Ming, using only physical power, charged like an untamed evil beast, truly uncontrollable.

If he employed the Master’s Power, he would become like an evil beast among the Human Race Qi Refiners, stepping ahead on the cultivation path Song Changming had planned for himself!

Suddenly, with another punch, both were pushed back.

Situ Ming’s eyes were wide open, his blood qi boiling, his expression more ferocious and excited, even subconsciously igniting slight pale green flames around him.

"Companion Spirit Flame..." Song Changming instantly recognized the unusual nature of the green flames on the opponent.

Seeing this, Song Changming surrounded himself with some electric arcs, and thunder light shimmered in his pupils.

"Oh!" Situ Ming also noticed the anomaly on Song Changming.

Just as Situ Ming was about to continue the fight, the surrounding spiritual qi mist suddenly swirled and scattered.

Everyone fighting for war also stopped.

Song Changming turned his head to see a man standing on a glowing jade pillar, holding the Hook Jade of the Spiritual Flying Shuttle.

Without a doubt, this Celestial Ruins Realm ticket already had an owner.

With a result, the struggle could naturally come to a calm end.

"Such a pity." Situ Ming withdrew his hand, retracted his beast-like expression, showing regret.

Unclear whether it was regret over not obtaining the Celestial Ruins Realm ticket, or regret that the contest with Song Changming ended without full satisfaction.

"Kid, grow up quickly, I hope next time we meet you’ll be a Martial Arts Grandmaster, so I don’t have to hold back, making it hard to enjoy," Situ Ming said to Song Changming with a somewhat friendly tone.

Song Changming could only cup his hands in response, for who knows when he’d meet this person next.

This sudden battle, despite not winning the Celestial Ruins Realm ticket, still yielded gains.

It was his first time fighting equally against another martial artist in body refinement, providing much insight during the battle.

After returning, digesting this would significantly help increase his strength.

Without saying much, Song Changming swiftly returned to Prince Cui’s side.

"Do not be disheartened, whether Situ Ming or Bai Qing who obtained the Celestial Ruins Realm ticket, they are all formidable in the Middle Stage of Grandmaster, ranking high among Yun Province’s martial arts grandmasters.

This was about participation, gaining knowledge, and absorbing experience. You will surely not be weaker than any of them in the future!"

Seeing Song Changming return silently, Prince Cui comforted him, thinking he was regretful about not getting the ticket.

Song Changming nodded; in truth, he didn’t regret not obtaining the Celestial Ruins Realm ticket much.

He had self-awareness; he wasn’t even a Martial Arts Grandmaster yet, with his strength mismatched against the likes of Situ Ming and Huaqing Pool.

As Prince Cui said, it was primarily for participation, mixed maybe with a slight hope of luck.

Yet, he couldn’t expect everything to go his way, or luck always favoring him; not obtaining the ticket was normal.

His gaze then landed on that glowing jade pillar.

Beside him, Huaqing Pool stood with hands down, expression calm, yet presumably begrudging for not securing the ticket.

Especially with the demonstration opportunity in front of the family’s Emperor Yun, yet he ended as a supporting role, which he found hard to accept.

Looking at the person standing on the jade pillar, a tall, handsome man, with snow-like white hair down to his waist, without a ceremonial headdress.

He appeared somewhat delicate, yet his strength was in no way inferior to Situ Ming and Huaqing Pool.

These three each had a record of five consecutive wins in previous Cloud Fighting, but had not faced each other directly.

After five consecutive wins, all three, like Song Changming, voluntarily relinquished the ring master position without defeats.

Compared to the battles among Innate Martial Artists, the sparring among these Martial Arts Grandmasters was more restrained.

Even war maniac Situ Ming grumbled about the dull fight, voluntarily stepping down without breaking rules.

Overall, these three were the strongest participants in this Cloud Fighting event.

All three hailed from noble families in the Imperial City, unmatched by those accompanying the titled kings from various regions.
