Chapter 59: The End of the Selection
'Has the system crashed?'
Xiao Ming scratched his cheek, unable to stop a smile from appearing on his face.
Let's not talk about whether all these items were something he could use, anyway, every item extracted by the Life Simulator this time was of a very high grade.
The worst was the Recipe of Life Devouring Pill, which was of seventh tier.
Although, Xiao Ming already had a Life Returning Pill.
However, he did not have the pill recipe, if he had this recipe, then he would be able to create Dou King powerhouses in bulk in the future.
Of course, in this current scenario, he would not be so naive as to choose the Recipe of Life Devouring Pill.
Instead, he simply ignored this option and put his attention on the other two options first.
Dou Di tier embryonic pill and Origin Qi.
'If I were to choose the Dou Di tier embryonic pill, let alone me, even Gu Yuan, a nine-star Dou Saint, would have quite a bit of trouble if he came. Although I can't use Origin Qi right now, if I choose it, I can save myself a lot of trouble in the future. Dou Venerate are rare in the North-Western Region, and those who know Origin Qi are only those at the top of the Dou Qi continent, so there's nothing to be afraid of at the moment.'
'Simulator, I'm going to choose Origin Qi.'
After Xiao Ming made his choice, an energy line filled with magnificent colors appeared in front of him.
Xiao Ming, who had prepared for it, had his soul power and Dou Qi energy gushing out frantically, preparing to put it into the jade vial he was holding, which was somewhat similar to the jade bottle he had sealed Green Rock Mystic Water in back then.
Luckily though Origin Qi was a necessary substance to break through the Dou God.
But its essence was only a type of energy similar to Dou Qi.
It had no consciousness of its own, nor did it attack people.
Therefore, Xiao Ming easily placed this Origin Qi in the jade jar.
The jar had sealing properties, which could prevent the energy from escaping and isolate it from probing others, moreover, if it was kept in the storage ring all the time, the possibility of problems arising at normal times would be very small.
After all, although an intermediate storage ring is not as good as a high-level storage ring, the contents are not as easy to perceive as a low-level storage ring.
Seeing that nothing had gone wrong in this sealing process, Xiao Ming let out a sigh of relief.
Then he smiled a very happy smile.
It was impossible for him to be unhappy.
What was Origin Qi?
Origin Qi was the necessary step to reach the Dou God realm.
Without Origin Qi, no matter how powerful your talent was or what possibilities you had, your limit on the Dou Qi Continent was already firmly locked at the Nine Star Dou Saint.
Those Nine Star Dou Saints after the Tou She Ancient God were examples of this.
If not for the lack of Origin Qi, the amazing talents would have been able to break through the Dou God realm and head to the Great Thousand World instead of sitting at home in misery and waiting to die.
Although the life of a Dou Saint is long, it will one day come to an end.
Due to the lack of Origin Qi, how many nine-star Dou Saints have died on the Dou Qi Continent? Xiao Xuan, the ancestor of the Xiao family, had failed to breakthrough to Dou God due to the lack of Origin Qi and had died from a sneak attack.
So of course, he had to choose Origin Qi now that he was able to do so, who knew when he would have an equal opportunity again.
If it didn't appear, he could only go to the Tou She Ancient God Mansion with the others to take the Di tier embryonic pill or the Tou She Ancient God Inheritance if he was able to reach the Nine Star Dou Saint in the future.
Neither of these things was easy to obtain.
Even if he took a Di tier embryonic pill, it would not be easy to turn it into a finished product, while the Tou She Ancient God's Inheritance was not so easy to obtain.
The Xiao Yan in the original work almost died.
It was safer to use only the Origin Qi.
With the Origin Qi, Xiao Ming could become a Dou God without hindrance as soon as he reached the peak of a nine star Dou Saint.
Just thinking about it made him feel very good.
Smiling, he stared at the jar for a while.
Xiao Ming thought to himself, 'I'd better think of a way to buy high-level storage ring, a high-level storage ring can establish a soul imprint, the kind of function that isolates the probe from others, unless I die, there is nothing that can probe it, but high-level storage rings are relatively rare in the North-Western Region, so I'm afraid it's not that easy to buy one.'
'Even in the Black-Corner Region auctions, it's still rare. If that's not possible, the Serene Sea Storage Ring that Han Feng holds isn't bad either'.
'I wasn't going to worry about him either, but now, for the sake of the storage ring, I may as well help Yao Lao take revenge, since that man is an evil man who betrays his master in any way.'
'Of course, if I get the high-level storage ring in future simulations, I won't have to go through so much trouble, I hope I can simulate it soon.'
After thinking about this.
Finally, Xiao Ming picked up the jade vial and put it into his fire red storage ring.
Then he walked towards his bed.
......
In the morning, Xiao Ming, who had not slept all night, got up in high spirits.
Then, in a cheerful mood, he headed for the arena where the Inner Academy Qualifying Competition was being held.
On the way, he met Xiao Shan again.
Xiao Shan, who was walking with Xiao Ming, also clearly noticed that Xiao Ming was in a good mood today.
Even in the arena, Xiao Ming was all smiles.
Seeing Xiao Ming smiling and smashing his opponent out of the arena with a punch, causing shouts of surprise, and then, returning back to his seat.
Hu Jia, who had been waiting for Xiao Ming by his seat, was a little impatient and took the opportunity, to ask the doubt in her heart.
"Xiao Ming, are you so happy because you found something good today?"
Hearing her ask this, Xiao Ming felt that he was acting a bit obvious, he controlled his emotions and then said.
"No, it's just that I thought of something happy."
"You..." Hu Jia was furious, thinking that Xiao Ming was really a big liar.
Even if he didn't want to tell her, he could find a more believable reason.
Actually, Xiao Ming wasn't lying to her, he had thought of something happy, he just didn't say exactly what it was.
Seeing Hu Jia's unhappy look, Xiao Ming blinked and finally said slowly, "Yesterday, my pill refining technique improved, it really wasn't a big deal."
Although Xiao Ming didn't like to lie, his face didn't even change when he told a lie.
Seeing Xiao Ming's serious expression, Hu Jia naively believed it.
"What the heck, and here I thought you found something amusing."
"Why do you think about having fun every day, didn't you just say yesterday that you were going to the Inner Academy and asked me to wait for you there?" Xiao Ming held his forehead speechlessly.
Hu Jia was really a child, children by nature liked to play, this was the same in any world.
As Xiao Ming and Hu Jia continued to talk.
In the middle seat, Hu Gan watched the interaction between Xiao Ming and Hu Jia, and the more he watched, the more satisfied he felt with Xiao Ming.
He couldn't wait for Xiao Ming to be his own grandson-in-law or his own disciple, his own disciple was out of the question, but his grandson-in-law?
Then, smiling, he stroked his beard and said to Elder Huo beside him, "Look how happy Xiao Ming and Hu Jia are chatting."
Elder Huo looked at him suspiciously, "Aren't they always like this, what are you trying to say?".
"Eh, actually I think, since Hu Jia likes Xiao Ming boy so much, I think we can arrange a marriage from childhood." Hu Gan said with a smile.
It turned out that this was the idea that was carried out.
This kind of arranged marriage was not uncommon in the Dou Qi Continent, whether it was a friendship between the elders of the two families, a marriage between forces, or just some people trying to increase their position.
In short, this type of child marriage appears very frequently.
However, in most of these marriages the opinion of the two parties is not asked, so sometimes there is always some unpleasantness.
Anyway, as this kind of arranged marriages was very common, Elder Huo was not surprised by Hu Gan's idea.
However, he did not agree, but instead turned his head and said, "It's a good idea, but I feel that Xiao Ming doesn't have those kinds of thoughts about Hu Jia, Old Hu, have you forgotten how old he is?"
"Uh, aren't these feelings something that can be cultivated? I don't see Xiao Ming feeling any dislike for Hu Jia either."
"This apprentice of mine has been very stubborn since he was young, let alone something like an arranged marriage, anyway, I can't make the decision, if you want them to get engaged, you can go and mention it to him yourself."
Elder Huo did not mention too much, he just said it lightly.
Hearing him say this, Hu Gan felt lost.
Just as Elder Huo had said, Xiao Ming was too young, and although he was exceptionally talented, he wouldn't necessarily understand what it meant to be engaged, so what was the use of talking to him about it?
After letting out a sigh, Hu Gan abandoned the petty thoughts in his mind.
......
For the next few days, the tournament went smoothly.
Moreover, the combat was always in one-on-one mode.
With the realm of a seven-star Dou Grandmaster, and a battle power that far surpassed his realm.
Xiao Ming resolved all the fights in one move against anyone.
After Xiao Ming finished resolving the last opponent.
A rather old judge stood up, looked around the square and then announced loudly.
"This is the end of the Inner Academy Qualifying Competition, and the top five have been chosen after a fierce battle. The other four, respectively, are."
"Yin Lu!"
"Bo Pao!"
"Jia Yun!"
"Jiang Yanshu!"
As soon as his voice fell, a mountain of applause erupted in the arena, and the entire arena shook as the sound waves were like a torrent.
"Senior Xiao Ming is really too powerful, he has always resolved everyone with a single move, I'm afraid the others haven't even forced even 10% of his strength!"
"Not only that, Senior Xiao Ming still has that calm look all the time, his punches are also very measured, he has the demeanor of a powerful man at a young age."
"If he wasn't too young, otherwise I would do it, hehehehehe."
"It's good to be young."
"Xiao Ming! Xiao Ming!"
"......"
This time, the Inner Academy Qualifying Competition allowed many people from the Jia Nan Academy to have a deeper understanding of Xiao Ming, who was known as the first genius of the Jia Nan Academy.
Looking at the cheering crowd, with a smile and a nod of his head, Xiao Ming walked out of the arena.
Under the gaze of countless people, Xiao Ming's silhouette faded into the distance.
The biggest competition of the year finally came to an end with his exit.
A/N:
My apologies, I had not noticed that I had set the timer wrong yesterday.
