The next morning, Yecheng Arena!

Today is the day when the national competition begins, with nearly 2,000 contestants sitting in the contestants' seats casually.

Li Changsheng and Ning Bizhen were in front, and Miao Yinslit and Shen Haofei were sitting next to him.

Both of them are fifth-level demon-controlling masters, and they are very lucky. If they were in the past, they would have the opportunity to compete for the semi-finals of the National Competition with their strength.

Unfortunately, there are five pseudo-kings in this class. Unless the sun comes out from the west, they have no hope at all, and even the quarterfinals feel very unrestrained.

Although it was just the opening ceremony of the national competition, Yecheng Arena was still crowded, and there were still many spectators who had not purchased tickets outside the venue.

The composition of these audiences is quite complex. The number of people in Yecheng who get the moon first is less than 1/4, and most of the rest are audiences from all over the country, as well as a few foreigners.

At this time, Li Changsheng suddenly sent a message to Shen Haofei: "Brother Chen, do you still want Hydra's essence and blood?"

Shen Haofei was slightly stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise in his eyes. After reacting, he quickly replied to Li Changsheng: "Yes, how many Brother Li does this time?"

As long as the eight-headed snake can evolve into a Hydra, his strength can be improved a little more, and if he is lucky, he may be able to improve his quality.

Eight-headed snake and Hydra are two concepts. Although the racial gap between the two is not large, the eight-headed snake is far inferior to Hydra in terms of recovery speed, and is more than one level different.

"Three cans!"

Last year, when Li Changsheng killed the demon king-level black dragon Harikuchi, he also killed a Hydra family member and purified three cans of Hydra essence and blood.

"What do Brother Li need?"

When asked, Shen Haofei subconsciously remembered the list of items that Li Changsheng had shown him before.

"Cangxuan Ding Earth Bead, Wu Earth Essence, Three Lights Divine Water, Mingyue Lotus..." As if he was writing a letter, Li Changsheng read dozens of items.

The more Shen Haofei listened, the ugly his face became. He really didn't want to listen, but he had to listen for the sake of Hydra's essence and blood.

It’s so good to be good. Dozens of treasures are often the essence of heaven and earth, including nearly ten kinds of treasures of heaven and earth.

Even if you sell me, I can't make up a few.

Shen Haofei said in embarrassment: "I only have one Tianling Fruit!"

The Tianling Fruit can open the second treasure space. Although it is relatively rare, it is worth only 5,000 soul crystals, which is completely incompatible with three cans of Hydra essence and blood.

Li Changsheng didn't say anything, and quietly waited for Shen Haofei's following.

Shen Haofei paused for a moment, and still said with a stingy forehead: "However, my dad has a piece of Kunlun Tianmang Gold in his hand, but it's just about value..."

Even among the rare ores of heaven and earth, Kunlun Tianmang Gold is ranked top, and its value is even more than three cans of Hydra's essence.

This is also an item on Li Changsheng's list, mainly to repair the Hunyuan Golden Lamp.

Since the Hunyuan gold lamp is seriously damaged, according to Li Changsheng's idea, in order to better repair the Hunyuan gold lamp, in addition to Kunlun Tianmang Gold, another treasure material called Hunyuan Five-Color Stone is needed.

If not, you can also settle for the second best, but this is a last resort choice.

"I can add another bloodline potion that helps break through the lord level, and just treat your Tianling Fruit as a bonus."

"Yes, yes, but can I just take credit? After the national competition is over, I will give you Kunlun Tianmang Jin. What do you think?"

Shen Haofei stared at Li Changsheng nervously, afraid that the other party would refuse.

If he gets three cans of Hydra essence and blood potion in advance, he believes that his strength can go further and his hope of advancing to the quarterfinals is greater.

Li Changsheng thought for a while and said, "Yes, we'll trade later."

He was not afraid that Shen Haofei would regret it. After all, with his current strength, Shen could not stop him at all.

"Thank you, Brother Li, for your accomplishment!"

Shen Haofei couldn't help but feel happy, with an unconcealed smile on his face, and he was puzzled by the slits of Miao Yin on the side.

Li Changsheng wanted to trade with Miao Yin, but he really didn't have the right bargaining chips in his hands.

Dongdongdongdongdong~

By nine o'clock, a powerful bell rang in the venue.

After hearing the bell, everyone present seemed to be soothed by a magical force. They subconsciously immersed in this atmosphere, and the originally noisy venue suddenly became quiet.

At the same time, Dou Changsheng, wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe, came to the stands.

Like the school exchange competition, the national competition was also presided over by Dou Changsheng, the emperor of Langya Kingdom.

However, compared with more than three months ago, Dou Changsheng was full of energy, looked much younger, and his aura was obviously beyond the scope of the pseudo-king.

"King!"

Li Changsheng's expression trembled. He knew that Dou Changsheng was only one step away from the king, but he didn't expect that he would become the king at this time.

This is definitely not a good thing for him!

The royal family of Langya Kingdom has an unwritten rule that after becoming a king, the current emperor must make a crown prince within three months and complete the handover of rights within one year.

Dou Changsheng's advancement to the king disrupted Li Changsheng's plan. If such a thing happened, even if Li Changsheng publicly supported the eldest prince Dou Yuande, it would be difficult for Dou Yuanbin to surpass him.

There is no way, Dou Yuanbin himself is a pseudo-king, and his strength, reputation and influence are far superior to that of the eldest prince, not to mention that behind him is the support of the Liu family of Langya, the mother clan and a group of ministers.

Unless the eldest prince Dou Yuande becomes a pseudo-king in the short term, there is really little hope, but this requires a lot of precious resources.

To take a step back, even if Dou Yuande becomes a pseudo-king, his hope of succession to the throne is only 30%.

"If there is no accident, the aura yesterday must have been caused by Dou Changsheng's breakthrough!"

Li Changsheng was silent on the surface, but he was thinking about a plan in his heart.

After becoming the king, Dou Changsheng's life expectancy limit will exceed the human limit and reach more than two hundred years old.

At the same time, Dou Changsheng will also open up his own secret realm.

The secret realm can not only be used to raise fairies, plant spiritual plants, and develop minerals, but also strengthen the combat power of monster pets. It is equivalent to a buff with a powerful effect. This is also the reason why the strength of the king is far superior to the pseudo-king.

Li Changsheng thought for a moment and for the sake of this, he could only try his best to suppress Dou Yuanbin's momentum in the national competition.

At this time, Dou Changsheng exhaled and his voice was majestic, and he began to give a passionate speech.

Dou Changsheng first reviewed the history of the national competition and focused on several previous champions. These champions all have one thing in common, that is, they all became kings in the end, including the "Butterfly King" Luo Qingning and the "Yan King" Qin Mingqing.

Dou Changsheng didn't talk much nonsense, so it took him a few minutes to announce the official start of the national competition.

Most of the contestants did not leave the contestants' seat because the next part was the qualifying round.

Qualification race is also called the wheel race. After the first round, there is not much time to enter the second round and the third round, and it will continue until you advance to the knockout round.

There are 64 places in the knockout stage. Since there are as many as 44 demon-controlling masters who directly advance to the knockout stage in this session, nearly 2,000 players can only compete for the remaining twenty places in the knockout stage.

Even if you keep winning, you have to win at least six consecutive games, which can be said to be a very cruel competition system.

Unless you are extremely lucky, you can advance to the knockout stage through the qualifying round and are undoubtedly the elite among the elites, and often have the ability to challenge the level.

Unfortunately, even if they surpassed the level, they could only compete with the fifth-level demon-controlling master, but they were not threatening Li Changsheng and Ning Bizhen.

So, neither of them had the idea of ​​watching the qualifying match and prepared to return to the contestant's village.

Not far away, Dou Yuanbin and Liu Xuguang stayed together.

Liu Xuguang couldn't help but ask, "Brother Dou, how did that happen?"

"Don't worry, he will be with me!"

Dou Yuanbin showed a hideous smile and stared at Li Changsheng fiercely, Ning Bizhen's back, which was about to disappear.

More than three months ago, Liu Xuguang gave him two suggestions, one was to acquire the Star Fruit and the Star Essence to prevent Li Changsheng from advancing to the sixth level or even the pseudo-king.

The second is to separate Li Changsheng, Dou Yuanbin or Liu Xuguang in the same group through secret operations, and not give him the chance to advance to the semi-finals.

In order to achieve this goal, Dou Yuanbin really spent a lot of money and even favored him.

"But even if he is still in the fifth level, he still has the ability to threaten us. I hope Brother Dou can be more cautious at that time."

Regarding Liu Xuguang's reminder, Dou Yuanbin did not treat it as a warning. There was no way. Li Changsheng was too evil and could defeat Dou Yuanhua more than three months ago. Now, even if he has not advanced, his strength will definitely be stronger.

Unfortunately, what the two of them didn't know was that Li Changsheng became a pseudo-king more than three months ago. Dou Yuanbin's actions were not only meaningless, but instead dug a hole to bury himself.

This is really a very slutty operation!

After returning to the small courtyard of the contestant village, Li Changsheng summoned Kailan and the crowned flaming bird.

He had two heavenly spirit fruits in his hand, one of which was from Shen Haofei and the other was an item brought to him by the subordinates of the eldest prince Dou Yuande.

Dou Yuande spared no effort to make the list of items given to him by Li Changsheng, and he had indeed collected a lot of them for him during this period.

Soon, Kailan and the crowned flaming bird each absorbed a Tianling Fruit and opened the space of the second treasure weapon.

Li Changsheng asked the crowned flaming bird to carry the semi-artifact Fire Phoenix Can and the Wrath of the Red Dragon, while Kailan was the crown of Thorns and the wrist guards of Jumang.

Jumang wrist guard: a top-level wood treasure ware, made of Jumang feathers with dozens of auxiliary materials, can increase the power of 60% of the wood-type skills and have an absorption effect.

The absorption effect can automatically absorb life energy within a certain range, and will automatically recover certain injuries and physical strength every short period of time.
