Shen Xiang didn't want to get involved in the fights between forces, and it wasn't his turn to get involved, but he could gain some advantage from it, or take advantage of the situation. What he had to do was to learn the martial arts to subdue demons, and master the refining of low-grade earth-level pills, in preparation for a competition with the Pill Elder.
"Little brat, I have already signed up for the Demon Conquering Martial Arts Competition with my uncle. You have to keep an eye on me at the beginning. Liu Meng'er and Hua Xiangyue are both in seclusion now, and they can't take care of me." Shen Xiang reminded him. If Gu Dongchen is there, the people from the Demon Conquering Academy won't dare to mess around, and he can perform on the stage with peace of mind.
"Junior Master, you really have a way to sign up. Are you using your own name?" Gu Dongchen asked with a little surprise. Shen Xiang should be hated by the Son of God to the core by now, and his strength is very strong, but the Son of God actually let him sign up.
Chen Xiang smiled and said: "Of course I will use my name. If there is no other way, I won't be able to be your uncle. Hehe... I didn't expect the people from the Blue Blood Clan and the Wu Family to come so quickly."
After Yan Yanran and Lan Lan went back to report, the old guys felt it necessary to talk to Gu Dongchen in person, so they rushed over as quickly as possible.
The Demon Subduing Martial Arts Conference will begin in three days. Shen Xiang is not interested in knowing what they will discuss when they form an alliance, so he went to the secret room to practice.
More and more old guys gathered in Gu Dongchen's house, most of them were the heads of some small forces, and this move also attracted the attention of the Fire God Temple and the Demon Subduing Academy. The Fire God Temple and the Demon Subduing Academy were stationed on this King's Continent. How could they not know that so many Nirvana realms suddenly gathered here?
This was what Gu Dongchen and his men did on purpose. Gu Dongchen had already reached an agreement with the alliance and agreed to join. He also made some suggestions. The first was to let the Fire God Temple and the Demon Subduing Academy know that they had formed an alliance. If these Demon Subduing Academy and the Fire God Temple dared to bully the small forces in their alliance, then they would definitely unite to attack these two foreign forces.
Lian Yingxiao also came. The relationship between Lotus Island and Taiwu Sect has always been good, so as soon as Gu Dongchen opened his mouth, Lian Yingxiao readily agreed. Now the only thing missing is the Divine Soldiers Kingdom and Danxiang Taoyuan, who have not expressed their stance yet, and the queens of the two forces are in seclusion.
Many powerful men crowded in Gu Dongchen's house to discuss the alliance plan, and from time to time there would be tremors coming from below, accompanied by faint dragon roars, which made many old guys mistakenly believe that there was a imprisoned dragon below.
"Ahem, it's Shen Xiang who is practicing martial arts down there. He should be practicing Tai Chi Dragon Subduing Kung Fu. He has made an indispensable contribution to the demon-subduing power's ability to turn difficult things into easy ones. I think everyone knows this." Gu Dongchen explained hurriedly. He didn't expect that Shen Xiang would make such a big noise when he was practicing. He was very curious about what martial arts Shen Xiang was practicing.
Lian Yingxiao nodded and said, "I've heard that he learned the Demon Subduing Power to the tenth level not long after he entered the Demon Subduing Academy. Now that he has obtained this simplified version of the Demon Subduing Power, it has dealt a heavy blow to the Demon Subduing Academy."
"Hehe, this simplified training version of the Demon-Subduing Power was written by that old madman." Gu Dongchen laughed, causing many old guys to tremble. Although Huang Jintian had been locked up in that forbidden area for many years, the shadow he left on these strong men was always there.
The simplified version of the Demon Subduing Power has been copied by each of the alliance's giants, who then took it back to teach their core disciples. It is estimated that it won't be long before the Demon Subduing Academy knows the news.
------
Three days passed quickly, and Shen Xiang came out of the secret room. After Gu Dongchen saw him, he sighed: "Little Master, what kind of martial arts are you practicing? It's as if there is a dragon under this house."
Shen Xiang smiled and said: "This move is called Subduing the Dragon and Returning to the Original Qi. I have mastered it now, but if I want to use it, it will consume most of my true energy."
Gu Dongchen exclaimed, "I told you that Master used this move before, and it is indeed very powerful, but he said that he only mastered it when he was in the Nirvana Realm. I didn't expect that you can master it now."
"Let's go. Today is the first day of the Demon-Subduing Martial Arts Conference. Let's go and see what powerful guys are participating." Shen Xiang shrugged and said.
Just like that, Shen Xiang led Gu Dongchen towards the Demon Conquering Academy, and Shen Xiang didn't need to disguise himself now, because Gu Dongchen was right behind him. As long as his brain wasn't stuck in the door, no one would be stupid enough to take Shen Xiang's head in front of the Taiwu Sect's headmaster. That would be like holding a lantern in a toilet, courting death!
Shen Xiang could guess that the stronger ones who participated in the Demon Conquering Martial Arts Conference should be those from the Demon Conquering Academy or the Fire God Temple. After all, they controlled very rich resources. Then there would be the bloodline warriors from the King's Continent, and then the talented geniuses from other continents.
After arriving at the Demon Subduing Academy, Shen Xiang learned about the process of the competition. First, there would be a preliminaries, where the applicants would be divided into four groups by drawing lots. Finally, a competition would be held to eliminate the strongest person from each group, who would then enter the final competition.
"It seems that I have to play a lot of games, and I have to play day and night. If I meet a strong guy in the group stage, it will definitely be very difficult." Shen Xiang muttered as he looked at the rules.
"Junior Master, it doesn't feel good to be with you at all. Others treat us like a nuisance and stay away from us." Gu Dongchen said in a low voice.
Shen Xiang looked around and said with a smile: "Little brat, you are the headmaster of Taiwu Sect, they are afraid of you."
The aura of Gu Dongchen really made many people feel inexplicable pressure and a little scared.
There were four fighting arenas in the Demon Subduing Academy. In order to make the fighting arena more relaxed, Shen Xiang asked Gu Dongchen to leave. This made many people feel much more relaxed.
After drawing lots, Shen Xiang was assigned to the third group. What made him feel a bit headache was that he was actually in the same group with Lan Lan.
Shen Xiang found Lan Lan in the crowd. She was with Yan Yanran. Her cute little face was squeezed into a bitter gourd shape. She pouted and looked at Shen Xiang with extremely resentful eyes. Although she wanted to compete with Shen Xiang again, it was in this kind of group match.
"Alas, poor child, I'm sorry." Shen Xiang shook his head and sighed, then walked over.
Many people in the crowd were complaining, especially those who were in the same group with Shen Xiang. They all felt a lot of pressure, but there were only four groups, and there were many strong people in each group. The Son of God, Wang Shengren, was in the first group.
"What a coincidence, Tie Ming from the Fire God Temple is in the fourth group. That group will definitely have it much easier. There doesn't seem to be any well-known masters in the second group." As Shen Xiang walked towards Lan Lan, he got some information from the conversation of the crowd.
