Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar

The Phoenix Creek Sect's competition for new disciples unfolded with fervor and had reached an intensified stage.

The odds for these new disciples to win first place were crystal clear at various betting establishments, with Zhao Gonghe having the highest odds and Lin Yiru just behind him.

In other words, among the top thirty new disciples, the strength of these two individuals was considered the lowest tier.

Phoenix Creek Sect, Yenwu Hall, the three-person duel stage.

Mo Kuangren, Zhao Gonghe, and Liu Wei each stood in a corner of the stage, waiting for the referee to announce the start of the competition.

The ultimate victor among these three would be ranked in the top ten of this Sect competition!

Outside the ring, the spectators crowded the area, all waiting to witness the great battle, waiting for their chance to collect their winnings.

"Zhao Gonghe, I heard you and Hong Yuan are from the same mentor?" Mo Kuangren asked with interest, staring at Zhao Gonghe.

Ever since he was forced out of the Ten Thousand Beast Cave Heaven by Hong Yuan and Xu Haisheng of the Spirit Beast Hall, he had been fixated on getting back at Hong Yuan and Xu Haisheng during the Sect competition.

However, Hong Yuan did not participate in the competition, which he found very disappointing. To his knowledge, Li Jianxiang was also furious that Hong Yuan had disregarded the challenge letter.

"Hong Yuan!?" A shadow crossed Zhao Gonghe's eyes upon hearing that name.

If it were not for his elders' timely reminders, he would have continued to mind his own business with Hong Yuan. But in Martial Arts, it's all about "competing."

Competing for their master's affection, competing for the resources from the Refining Equipment Hall...

He wouldn't back down, and neither would Hong Yuan. If anyone was to blame, it was that Hong Yuan and he were on the same track.

GONG! GONG, GONG! The outer sect deacon decisively struck the bronze drum, interrupting the exchange between Mo Kuangren and Zhao Gonghe. This chapter was made possible by the community at MV|LEM|PYR.

"The competition begins."

With a soulful leap, the outer sect deacon left the stage—the eagerly anticipated great battle was finally about to start.

Fight, let's see a fight, I want to see blood run like rivers!

Zhao Gonghe and Liu Wei, as if by an unspoken understanding, allied to take out the most powerful Mo Kuangren first.

Mo Kuangren shook his head slightly as he watched Zhao Gonghe's attacking prowess.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Zhao Gonghe and Liu Wei were both covered in wounds, lying helplessly in a pool of blood, while Mo Kuangren, wielding his Blood-Crazy Blade, stood proudly on the stage.

"Is that all you've got, Zhao Gonghe? Are you really from the same mentor as Hong Yuan?"

Mo Kuangren was filled with disbelief, his thick eyebrows and large eyes brimming with confusion. The gap in strength was too vast; it was hard to believe that Hong Yuan and Zhao Gonghe shared the same master.

Hearing this, Zhao Gonghe's heart felt as though it were being tightly clenched.

What he hated most was being compared to Hong Yuan and having to confront the fact that he was vastly inferior.

PTUI—

A mouthful of blood spewed out, and Zhao Gonghe collapsed completely in the pool of blood.

...

...

Meanwhile, at Phoenix Fire Peak's courtyard, Hong Yuan paused his actions and then took out a brand-new carbon wood pen from his storage bag.

At this moment, Hong Yuan was writing. He was recording the tribulations that the python undergoing its tribulation had experienced and was also sketching detailed images to supplement his notes. Since he had decided to learn from the experience of Flood Dragon transformation, it was, of course, necessary to go through the processes of documenting, sorting, reflecting, and summarizing.

「The perspective returns to Demon Beast Hong Yuan.」

Demon Beast Hong Yuan patiently stayed in the cave, transforming the interior into a frost cave for easy escape while observing the actions of the senior undergoing its Flood Dragon transformation.

The sky poured down torrential rain, lightning snakes danced, and the dark, heavy clouds seemed on the verge of collapsing, bringing infinite terror to the serpent.

Hong Yuan did not dare to pay too much attention to this senior undergoing its Flood Dragon transformation; he only occasionally caught a few glimpses, such as when the nature of the tribulation suddenly changed.

Not only Hong Yuan was watching—the dominant demon beasts of this region also looked on with fear at this powerful beast on the verge of stepping into the Desolate Beast realm.

On an extremely perilous cliff, a golden roc bird nestled deep inside its nest, peeking out with its golden eyes; it was both in awe and greed. If I devoured it, I could save hundreds of years of hard cultivation!

In a deep, bottomless pond, a blood-colored python lay coiled, looking up longingly at the demon beast undergoing its Flood Dragon transformation and thinking, This senior must be able to delve into the Endless Sea Area and join the legendary Dragon God Sacred Land, the most formidable of all, earning the right to rule over a territory. How great it would be if it chose this place as its domain.

At the shallow waters of the big pond, the Iron Armored Saw Crocodile King watched the demon beast undergoing its Flood Dragon transformation with a solemn gaze. Beside the Crocodile King, several aged members of the Iron Armored Saw Crocodile Clan also lifted their heads, their faces etched with worry.

Even though the Zero Desolate Sea Area was a remote and impoverished location with scarce cultivation resources, the Iron Armored Saw Crocodile Clan had thrived. Through years of diligent governance, they had eradicated the Mysterious Water Snake Clan. They even overcame the interspecies hierarchy to subdue the Giant Evil Shark Clan and the Dragon Sea Horse Group.

Under the exquisite leadership of the contemporary Iron Armored Saw Crocodile King, they had even managed to send several talented youths from their clan to the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land.

They just needed one descendant to work hard and become a Desolate Beast. Then their Iron Armored Saw Crocodile Clan would thoroughly become the sovereign clan of this region, unchallenged by land or sea!

Unfortunately—

ROAR!

AROOO!!!

The demon beast undergoing its Flood Dragon transformation was lacerated by thunder and lightning, its flesh torn apart, its body pitch black. Even its thick scales could not provide it with sufficient protection.

It wailed intermittently for two days and two nights, while Hong Yuan also took the chance to record data, fearing that he might miss any important details.

As the dark clouds progressively dispersed and the torrential rain turned into a drizzle, Hong Yuan understood that this serpent senior was likely to succeed in its tribulation and ascend to the realm of a sixth-stage Desolate Beast, becoming a Ferocious Dragon that could soar into the Ninth Heaven above and dive deep into the seas below to hunt!

SPLASH! SPLASH!

Half a day later, the Tribulation Cloud dissipated, and sunlight fell through the mountains, leaving behind scenes of clear skies after the rain. However, the forest at the foot of the mountain was littered with the remains of various demon beasts, broken trees, and scattered rocks… All serving as testament to the terrifying tribulation of the Flood Dragon transformation!

Above the large pond, Flood Dragon Xuan Qi, who had successfully overcome the tribulation, slapped the water's surface, shedding its old skin. With the help of the higher energy of the primitive yuan, it quickly cast off its massive yet tattered python skin.

Its appearance was reflected on the large pond's surface, showcasing its majestic form. Its blood-red eyes and crimson vertical pupils shone like two bursts of thriving flames. These were mirrored by a sharp, straight horn wrapped in noble gold patterns. Its now fully transformed, thick Flood Dragon Tongue occasionally licked at its neat, white fangs. Its serpentine body, winding for exactly nine hundred ninety-nine meters, was covered in mysterious black scales. Fog-like wisps of white vapor intermittently revealed cold, sharp claws with every movement.

Flood Dragon Xuan Qi invoked the primitive yuan, and the old python skin was absorbed into the Black Earth Demon Territory within its body.

Martial Saints have their Cave Heaven Blessed Lands; Desolate Beasts have their Black Earth and White Sky.

Is this the realm of a sixth-stage Demon Saint? Truly marvelous~ mused Flood Dragon Xuan Qi.

After briefly sensing its own condition, Flood Dragon Xuan Qi burst forth from the large pond and soared straight into the Cloud Soar.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The wind was strong, stirring up clouds and mist.

Flood Dragon Xuan Qi was making use of its Innate Ability to search for prey.

Soon enough, it discovered the golden roc. With just one encounter, Flood Dragon Xuan Qi effortlessly killed the golden roc, swallowed it whole, and then continued hunting for more food.

Heavenly Thunder Tiger, Thick Soil Elephant, Green Phoenix Bird…

One after another, powerful and fierce fourth and fifth-stage demon beasts were effortlessly slain by it and turned into its nourishment.

As the royal descendant of the once-glorious Mysterious Water Snake Clan, Xuan Qi only showed mercy to other serpentine demon beasts. For the rest of the demon beasts, anything caught by its demon sense was swiftly dealt with in one gulp.

When Xuan Qi's demon sense scanned over the cave where Demon Beast Hong Yuan resided, it paused for a moment.

Clearly, it hadn't expected that there would still be a Mysterious Water Snake near the third-stage realm alive in this region.

Xuan Qi skimmed Hong Yuan's body structure with its demon sense and nodded slightly. Then, it flew toward the large pond, headlong into the Zero Desolate Sea Area.

It was time to avenge the Mysterious Water Snake Clan and exterminate those demon beast clans that had once kicked them while they were down!

Don't look at me, don't look at me… Demon Beast Hong Yuan hid trembling at the depths of the cave.

Even though his demon instincts told him there wasn't any threat to his life, the sight of a sky-obscuring, monstrously large Ferocious Dragon was enough to instill awe in him.

Being low-key isn't always a bad thing.
