Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar

The contenders on the A-grade platforms of the Martial Stage all began with at least a second-tier intermediate level of cultivation, and there were even a few third-tier Disciples present, each of whom could shoulder significant responsibilities within their respective halls and pavilions.

However, Hong Yuan didn't feel any pressure at all.

First, it was because the Great Power True Martial Body lived up to its reputation as one of the Ten Extreme Bodies, advancing from a first-tier high level to a first-tier pinnacle realm in just a month.

Second, the Great Power True Martial Body could activate a third-tier Power Tao Worm, the Forest Elephant Worm, bestowing upon him the strength of the forest elephant after it was activated.

Moreover, the Great Power True Martial Body possessed an inherent Power Tao Rhyme. Even though his Power Tao Avatar was still only at the first-tier pinnacle cultivation level, he could wield the astonishing power of the third tier!

Let me see, which opponent is more troublesome? Hong Yuan stood on the bluestone steps, surveying the platforms in all directions.

He first looked toward Platform A01. The master of this platform was a practitioner of techniques. His use of Talismans in tandem with his methods reached a nearly miraculous degree, making him quite difficult to deal with.

After watching for a moment, Hong Yuan turned his head slightly, somewhat regretfully, and looked toward Platform A02.

Currently, his offensive power was equivalent to that of a third-tier Martial Artist, but his speed and defense were still lacking. If he were to challenge that opponent, he feared he would be treated like a sitting duck, kited, and beaten one-sidedly.

I'm looking for a fight that gives and takes; a mere one-sided crush is meaningless. Hong Yuan clearly knew the purpose of his visit to the Martial Arts Field and did not want to waste time.

After searching for a while, he finally found his target.

It was a young swordsman holding a three-foot blue blade, dressed in white, elegant and unrestrained.

According to Hong Yuan's observations, the swordsman in white also possessed the attacking power of a third-tier Martial Artist, but he himself was only a second-tier Martial Artist.

Perfect, this was the target Hong Yuan was looking for.

Platform A29, Li Hongyan.

Hong Yuan recited the name of the platform's master, then handed over three hundred Energy Stones to the outer sect deacon as a bet on the platform, waiting for Li Hongyan to accept the challenge.

At this moment, Li Hongyan stood with his arms crossed and his eyes closed, resting and waiting for the challenger to arrive.

A single fight would decide the fate of six hundred Energy Stones, which put some pressure on him. However, Li Hongyan was confident. In the A-level area, as long as he didn't clash with those few tough nuts, he was sure to make a good profit.

The outer sect deacon approached Platform A29 and informed Li Hongyan of Hong Yuan's intention.

"Hong Yuan? I've never heard of this person. Well, let him come up then," Li Hongyan nodded lightly.

Welcomed by the referee's beckoning, Hong Yuan ascended the platform and came to stand at the opposite end, facing Li Hongyan.

Seeing Hong Yuan's loose and slack posture, Li Hongyan unconsciously felt a hint of disdain.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

The outer sect deacon struck the gong, signaling the start of the battle.

SWISH.

Without hesitation, Li Hongyan drew his sword from its sheath, a glint of cold light flashed, and the blade aimed to strike at Hong Yuan's throat.

Faced with Li Hongyan, who was clearly bursting forth with power, Hong Yuan didn't hesitate to choose a strategy of retreat.

Rooster Flying Worm, Dog Jumping Worm.

Rooster flying and dog jumping!

Hong Yuan moved as if weightless, his feet like springs. He bounced around the stage, truly embodying the chaos of roosters flying and dogs jumping.

Facing such tactics, Li Hongyan's Sword Momentum shifted, stabbing towards one direction, but missed entirely.

What a bizarre method! And his Cultivation Technique operates as quickly as lightning.

Li Hongyan's eyes narrowed slightly, his Longsword held horizontally, cautiously on guard for Hong Yuan's sudden attacks.

He had to admit, the speed at which Hong Yuan activated his Cultivation Technique was the fastest he had ever encountered.

Pausing to observe? Then I shan't be polite, Hong Yuan chuckled.

Having fought dozens of battles, Hong Yuan had also noticed that these Disciples found his nearly instantaneous activation of his Cultivation Technique unbelievable, and thus they often adopted an observant stance.

Forest Elephant Worm.

Behind Hong Yuan, a colossal shadow of a forest elephant appeared, its eyes cold, mouth bristling with sharp fangs, exuding a wild and primitive aura.

With the augmenting power of the Forest Elephant, Hong Yuan's single arm already possessed the strength of 108,000 pounds. With both arms, he wielded a might that the Four Images could not surpass; he was capable of pushing down eight horses and pulling back nine oxen—truly, an Overlord reincarnated.

GULP.

Li Hongyan swallowed hard.

At this moment, Hong Yuan's upper garment was torn, and his body had swollen like a giant demon. It was clear that the punch he was about to unleash would be earth-shattering and immensely powerful.

Should I use my ultimate technique, Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens, to fight him? Forget it. It's just three hundred Energy Stones. Is it really worth it...?

Li Hongyan's thoughts raced like lightning, and without waiting for Hong Yuan's attack, he directly jumped down from the platform and admitted defeat.

Hong Yuan: "..."

Left with no choice, Hong Yuan could only direct his attack at the platform's surface; suppressing the built-up power would have been detrimental.

Punch after punch, the surface of the platform was battered into a mess by Hong Yuan's strikes, and the Energy Array was shaking and swaying, as if a demolition team had taken action.

The consequences, had these strikes hit someone, were all too easy to imagine.

Below, Li Hongyan watched, cold sweat beading on his forehead, feeling extremely relieved about his decision to concede.

As expected of Power Tao Martial Artists—they're all maniacs! Platform duels this crazy, and for a mere three hundred Energy Stones? Is it really worth it? Li Hongyan internally raged at Hong Yuan.

It wasn't that Hong Yuan was unaware of this. Rather, it was because the Great Power True Martial Body was progressing every moment. He had to seize every opportunity to vent his True Essence, lest he explode and die from its overly rapid accumulation.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

After Hong Yuan ceased the bombardment, the familiar sound of the gong rang out once again. The outer sect deacon came up to congratulate Hong Yuan, and Li Hongyan followed him up as well.

"Senior brother, impressive," Li Hongyan said.

"Junior brother, you're not bad yourself," Hong Yuan responded.

After defeating Li Hongyan, Hong Yuan stayed in the A-level area for another day, experiencing both wins and losses, yet his combat experience kept increasing.

Hong Yuan was also becoming more and more familiar with the battle methods of Power Tao Martial Artists.

「Time passed bit by bit this way.」

Two months later, the Great Power True Martial Body smoothly progressed to the beginner tier of the second order, a frighteningly rapid advancement.

And Hong Yuan's Original Body was also about to complete the consolidation of the Myriad Silence Origin Body, reaching the beginner tier of the third order.

On this day, the sunshine was bright, and the sky was clear and fresh.

Inside the training room, on the Taoist Mat, Hong Yuan sat cross-legged, his hands resting upturned.

[Myriad Silence Origin Skill+57]

[Myriad Silence Origin Skill+57]

[Cultivation Technique: Myriad Silence Origin Skill (Minor Achievement 3953/4000) → (Major Achievement 67/8000)]

A stream of flowing light passed by, and Hong Yuan felt as if his body had turned into ripples of water, merging into the dark room.

He knew that he had successfully advanced to the beginner tier of the third order. The Myriad Silence Origin Body had taken its initial form, and he could now control the flow of water with his physique alone.

Just then, he once again experienced that mystical sensation of 'Asking Heaven and Earth'.

He felt inspirations continually emerge in his mind, thoughts unending.

'Asking Heaven and Earth' has come. This time, I hope I can completely supplement the Nine Blood Differentiation Skill, Hong Yuan thought.

An hour later, after consuming three million Energy Stones, Hong Yuan had supplemented the Nine Blood Differentiation Skill to the six-tailed stage.

[Name: Hong Yuan]

[Life Span: 18/7123]

[Realm: Third Order Beginner Tier]

Good news came from the human form, and the Demon Beast Hong Yuan was also reaping his rewards.
