Chapter 909 - 732: Emerging Business Opportunities

"This young man from the Treasure Vase Seal Lineage, he’s clearly using a technique akin to the Lion’s Roar Skill.

But the Lion’s Roar Skill is exceedingly fierce and destructive, it would only shatter the paper drum..."

"It might not be the Lion’s Roar Skill, perhaps it’s a milder soundwave-type technique?"

"The world is vast, with countless bizarre and mysterious techniques emerging endlessly. It’s understandable if we’re not familiar with them!"

The spectators began a heated discussion about how Lou Yi managed to sound the Four Seas Drum. But no one had any clues or could see through the true method behind it.

Only a few, like the Bright King Seal Master and Master Wukong, with profound cultivation, showed a pensive look in their eyes.

’Of course, you can’t guess it, because what I just used is not the common martial arts of this world,’ Lou Yi thought to himself.

He had just released his Grandmaster Domain simply and silently, gaining complete control over the space within two hundred feet around him, naturally including the red paper drum not far away.

Since he had complete control of this space, causing the air inside the red paper drum to vibrate spontaneously was easy.

Creating waves of sound with varying density within the drum, resonating back and forth, would bypass the need to strike the drum physically to produce a loud drum sound.

It’s a clever trick, but achieving the goal is what matters.

Lou Yi is pragmatic now, going with whatever is convenient.

The other martial artists present couldn’t figure out Lou Yi’s method primarily because of the extremely hidden nature of the Grandmaster Domain.

Unlike the martial artists of this world, who always have to summon their Martial Seal visibly beforehand.

Seeing the four main lineages successfully sound the paper drum one after another, the previous champion, the Bright King Seal Master, declared loudly, "I hereby announce the official start of this Martial Arts Tournament!"

’Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!’

’Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!’

Immediately, hundreds of fireworks shot into the sky and exploded with a ’pop, pop, pop,’ heralding the start of this grand event.

"I don’t know what trick you pulled, but in the face of absolute power, you’ll never stir up any waves."

As he walked down from the central Martial Arts Arena, Han Ping deliberately detoured in front of the Treasure Vase Seal Lineage, continuing with a voice loud enough for Lou Yi and others to hear, "There won’t be any miracles happening, cherish your last chance to enter the second round."

Xu Feng and others were infuriated upon hearing this; Han Ping was too arrogant, even with the Treasure Vase Seal Master Zhou Xinghai present, he dared to be so presumptuous.

"Oh, are you so confident, Orangutan?" Lou Yi asked curiously.

Upon hearing the word ’Orangutan,’ a flash of murderous intent appeared in Han Ping’s eyes, followed by a cold laugh as he said, "I’ll let you have your say for two more days, soon you’ll be the one crying!

Don’t be afraid to hear, our target for this Martial Arts Tournament is the championship, and we will certainly defeat the other three main lineages to claim the title!"

With that, Han Ping turned around proudly, a faint mocking smile on his lips.

"This orangutan thinks he’s quite handsome..."

Upon hearing this, Han Ping’s figure paused slightly, frozen in place, then pretended to leave as if nothing happened.

However, everyone could hear the ’crack’ sound of his fists clenching tightly.

"Lion Seal Master Wen Ye hasn’t shown up, could it be he has made some breakthrough?" In the back, Yun Jin analyzed quietly.

"Wen Ye reached True Martial Realm Perfection ten years ago, what breakthrough could he have made, perhaps he’s close to taking that step forward?

He just needs to gather the Five-Colored Spirit Essence to undergo a transformation..." Xu Feng pondered with some shock.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed significantly, even the white-haired elder Zhou Xinghai furrowed his brows.

"Ahem, it’s not that easy." Zhou Xinghai coughed once, then said, "True Martial Realm Perfection looks impressive, but it’s miles away from the True Profound Realm, there’s still a long way to go.

Even if he gathered the spirit essence of the top five victors, the possibility of a breakthrough wouldn’t reach eleven percent."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt reassured again.

There hasn’t been a single True Profound Realm emergence on the True Profound Continent for nearly a thousand years.

The birth of any True Profound Realm requires the right conditions of time, place, and people, and is extremely difficult.

After the disciples of the Treasure Vase Seal Lineage left the field, they dispersed to observe the competitions in various martial arenas.

As one of the five main lineages, they don’t have to participate in the first round of the Defending the Platform Stage and can directly advance to the second round.

But those strong martial artists who are likely to advance to the second round are their potential opponents.

Observing opponents’ methods in advance benefits the sect’s progress in later rounds.

"It’s already starting over here." Yun Jin and Lou Yi walked side by side, heading towards the nearest martial arts arena.

Yun Jin wore a plain white scholar’s robe, but his posture was tall, skin like jade, and his face exquisite, attracting many frequent glances.

’Hoo!’

A figure floated towards the martial arts arena like the wind, then transitioned from movement to stillness, standing firm in place, body unwavering, showcasing strong control.

"Jing Dachao from the Divine Spear Sect, come to challenge all the heroes!"

This person had a broad face, no beard, and thick eyebrows with big eyes, appearing to be in his thirties.

Lou Yi had seen him before, having watched him clash with talents from the Giant Axe Sect.

His strength should be between Bloodline Perfection and two Bloodline Transformations, which is quite formidable for his age.

"The people from the Divine Spear Sect are confident, taking the stage first, it seems they’re aiming to dominate this martial arts arena."

"I’ve heard of Jing Dachao, young and accomplished, you shouldn’t underestimate him because of his youth, or you’ll suffer a great fall!"

"This Martial Arts Tournament is full of experts, competitors are not to be underestimated, the Divine Spear Sect won’t dominate so easily!"

The audience below was buzzing with talk and whispers, and for a while, no other sect was willing to step up to the challenge.

During the Defending the Platform Stage, each sect can send out a maximum of three people, and only when all three are defeated will they be eliminated.
