This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 447 - 8 The Chief’s Pact, Murmurs in Dreams_2

Chapter 447 -8 The Chief’s Pact, Murmurs in Dreams_2

“In that case, I will offer you an added incentive,” said the Crown Prince. “If you win this competition, I will take out one part of the ‘Vajra Eight Parts’ from the Royal Book Collection Pavilion for you!”

He could tell that Li Fei practiced Vajra Force, and since he practiced Vajra Force, the ‘Vajra Eight Parts’ would be the most suitable Martial Art for Li Fei!

Back then, Pudu Temple had handed over four parts of the ‘Vajra Eight Parts,’ all of which were in the Imperial Palace.

Later, when the twelve universities were established, the Royal Family gave each of these four parts to four different universities.

The Crown Prince knew that Wuda had the ‘Red Sound Fire Vajra Skill’; the part he intended for Li Fei was one of the three remaining parts.

“Thank you, Your Highness!”

Li Fei bowed again, this time his face finally showing a hint of joy.

He was truly delighted; this ‘business trip’ was indeed worth it!

“Your Highness.”

At this moment, Qingxu True Monarch, who was at the main table, suddenly spoke up,

“Is this incentive offered by Your Highness also effective for other competitors?”

The ‘Vajra Eight Parts’ as a top-tier legacy, even the Daluo Sect would never disdain it.

The Crown Prince turned and smiled at Qingxu True Monarch,

“Of course, it is effective.”

This comment brought a smile to Qingxu True Monarch’s face:

“Then on behalf of the Daluo Sect disciples participating in this competition, I thank Your Highness for his generosity.”

The underlying meaning was clear; the champion of this competition would definitely be from the Daluo Sect!

“Amitabha.”

The usually quiet Hui Kong Arhat suddenly spoke, “Your Highness, what if a disciple from the Buddhist sect wins the championship?”

Pudu Temple already had a complete succession of the ‘Vajra Eight Parts,’ so they naturally did not need the incentive offered by the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince looked at Hui Kong Arhat and smiled,

“If a disciple from the Buddhist sect wins, they can choose any secret manual from within our Royal Book Collection Pavilion.”

“Amitabha, this monk thanks Your Highness for his generosity on behalf of the Buddhist disciples.”

Hui Kong Arhat responded similarly.

The competition had not yet begun, but both the Buddhist and Daoist factions had already started competing fiercely.

And they spared no one!

Subsequently, the banquet finally resumed normally, and nothing else happened.

Qing Xia True Master continued with the toasts that had been interrupted earlier.

After representatives from all the universities had toasted Qingxu True Monarch and the Crown Prince, the banquet drew to a close.

Late at night, Li Fei, carrying the prize he had won, returned to the guesthouse he was staying at, back to his room.

He opened the wooden box and took out a heavy leather coat with white cloud patterns and gold thread edges.

This was the Cloud Dream Gold Thread Robe, supplied exclusively by the Royal Family!

Li Fei already owned a Fifth Level Protective Clothing made from Demon Qilin Horned Tiger Beast Scale Armor but that garment was meant for the Green-faced Ghost, and it was inappropriate for his real body to wear it.

Now that he had this Cloud Dream Gold Thread Robe, his real body’s gear was better than that of the ‘Green-faced Ghost’.

“If it gets damaged and needs repairs, I might need to contact the Crown Prince; his style really does seem to favor working subtly.”

While changing out of the Fifth Level Protective Clothing he was wearing, Li Fei thought.

Even Sixth Level Protective Clothing could get damaged, but as long as the damage wasn’t extensive, it could be repaired.

Previously, he had worn that Scale Armor while clashing with Gu Yufeng. After the battle, the armor had multiple damages and was currently at Zhang Family’s place for repairs.

The craftsmen at Zhang Family had intentionally left some of the original material when they made the Fifth Level Protective Clothing, specifically for future repairs.

But now, for the Cloud Dream Gold Thread Robe Li Fei had acquired, he did not have any original material, which was only available in the Royal Family. And within the Royal Family, the only person he knew was His Highness the Crown Prince, so if he wanted to repair this protective garment in the future, he would have to proactively contact him.

In this way, there naturally was an opportunity to establish personal connections.

Compared to other influential figures, this Crown Prince’s method of engaging people seemed thoughtful and not distasteful.

After changing, Li Fei began practicing in his room.

…

In the following days, everyone began discussing the specifics of the upcoming Martial Arts competition:

How to arrange the competition format, how many participants each party could send at most, how to determine the winners, how to ensure the safety of the participants, what rewards corresponded to the various rankings, etc.

As the hosts of this competition, the Upper Pure Sect and Tianqu University naturally had the most say and could secure more benefits for their respective organizations.

The most straightforward advantage, also the unspoken rule: as the host, the number of competition slots could be the most.

As for these matters, Li Fei left everything to Ke Yan to handle; he stayed in his room every day to cultivate, barely going out.

On the third night at the Daluo Sect, Li Fei was practicing “Unity” cultivation as usual in his room.

Currently, the progress of the “Unity” of his Ghostly Foot had almost reached one-fifth. After returning, Li Fei would only need to meditate for five or six days, and he should be able to completely finish this session of “Unity.”

Having completed today’s “Unity,” and once his injuries had healed and the passageway occupied by Innate Qi had stabilized, Li Fei began to cultivate Illusion Leaf.

Out of caution, he first set up a Concealing Breath array inside the room, then took medicine, and began his visualization…

In a trance, Li Fei found himself amidst a fog.

“Hmm?”

He was momentarily stunned.

What he visualized with the Visualization Method was clearly a towering tree reaching directly to the heavens; how had the scene suddenly changed?

“The box is empty!”

“The box is empty!”

Suddenly, a man’s voice came from deep within the fog.

“Who’s there?” fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Li Fei called out loudly.

“The box is empty!”

The voice emerging from the deep fog just kept repeating this sentence.

Li Fei frowned, quickly calmed himself down, and began to visualize the “Red Sound Fire Vajra Phase.”

The next second, a majestic Dharma Form with Vajra’s Angry Eyes appeared in the fog.

This Dharma Form was monumental, standing immeasurably tall!

Roar—

A dragon, likewise tens of thousands of meters in length, appeared, circling around the Dharma Form. The immense chanted sounds completely drowned out the voice coming from the fog.

The fog dissipated under the envelopment of the Buddhist light…

On the bed, Li Fei opened his eyes and immediately grabbed the Ghost Slash Blade next to him, assuming a defensive posture.

He silently waited in the room for a while, but nothing happened, and there was no anomaly on his body.

“Dream-Entering Skill?”

Li Fei furrowed his brows.

He had cultivated the Nightmare Sect’s Magic, Illusion Leaf, to the Divine Transformation Stage. A brief recall confirmed that he had just been affected by the “Dream-Entering Skill.”

This type of Magic was the Nightmare Sect’s specialty.

“Could it be that the Nightmare Sect has found me?”

Li Fei thought to himself.

But he quickly dismissed this guess.

If it really were the Nightmare Sect that had discovered him, knowing that their precious treasure was with him, the most strategic move would be to secretly set up a trap and wait for an opportunity, not to spook him as they had now.

“If it’s not the Nightmare Sect that discovered me, then who might be using the Dream-Entering Skill on me? Why choose me?”

Li Fei fell into deep thought.

But with too little information, he could only speculate that perhaps it was because he possessed the Dream Command, or perhaps because he had just been practicing the Nightmare Sect’s Visualization Method, which might have triggered something.

“The box is empty, what does that even mean?”

Li Fei recalled the voice heard repeatedly in the fog, remaining confused.

“I’ll ask Zhao Yi when I get back.”

Eventually, Li Fei decided to stop idly guessing.

The Nightmare Sect was adept in both entering dreams and interpreting them; asking Zhao Yi might yield some insights.

On the fifth day, all matters concerning the second Martial Arts Exchange Competition were finally settled, and Li Fei and the others could finally return home.

…

“The prize for the first place in this competition is a piece of Fifth Level Protective Clothing plus a customizable Fifth Level Abnormal Weapon!”

On the way back, Ke Yan said to Li Fei,

“The prize for the first place in the previous competition was only a piece of Fifth Level Protective Clothing; this time there’s an additional customizable Fifth Level Abnormal Weapon. The court is really generous! Plus the additional rewards promised by the Crown Prince, whoever wins will make a fortune!”
