He discovered that he had succeeded. It wasn't too difficult to compress a second rank ninth energy core.
His mental control had already reached that level after reaching Level Nine, Rank Nine.
When he fused with Zhou Qianlin, Zhou Qianlin's Queen of Heaven Ability possessed incredible toughness. This toughness overlapped with his energy core, greatly increasing its strength. It was hard for it to crack when compressed.
Lan Jue's compression was equivalent to helping Zhou Qianlin compress his energy core.
Zhou Qianlin could be said to have recultivated, but her original cultivation wasn't as strong as Lan Jue's.
In battle, the True Meaning of Ice and the Queen of Heaven Transformation were different. However, Lan Jue was able to grasp the benefits.
The Queen of Heaven Transformation increased the toughness of his energy core. At the same time, it allowed Lan Jue to combine his control with Zhou Qianlin's. The two of them could work together.
At this moment, under the effects of the True Intent of Ice, he felt that his own lightning energy had been slowed down. How fast was the speed of lightning?
It was extremely difficult to control it.
But now that it had slowed down, it was much easier to control.
It was no longer as violent.
How could Lan Jue let go of such a good opportunity?
Moreover, under the effect of the pressure, his potential was also stimulated to a great extent.
Hence, he didn't hesitate to compress his energy core. He did it with all his might.
He and Zhou Qianlin were telepathically connected. His energy core already contained a portion of Zhou Qianlin's aura. It was extremely flexible.
Lan Jue wasn't afraid of any problems. If his energy core suffered a problem, then …
Zhou Qianlin would also feel it.
With Zhou Qianlin's Queen of Heaven Transformation supporting him.
There would be no danger.
Bing Yu didn't know that this fellow was using his True Meaning of Ice to cultivate.
In that state of extreme cold …
The lightning on the surface of Lan Jue's body was getting weaker and weaker. Her entire body was like a layer of ice sculpture, and a layer of frost had already formed on her body.
"Your Majesty, should we stop the fight?" Mo Xiao asked the Terminator.
The Terminator shook his head. "It's not over yet. The masked kid is still resisting.
Moreover, he hadn't revealed his trump card yet, so there should be another way.
Let's wait and see. "
Time passed minute by minute.
Lan Jue stood there motionlessly.
As he compressed the energy core, he comprehended the mysteries of the ice element.
It turned out that when the cold reached a certain level, it would actually have such a huge impact on energy.
Unfortunately, Bing Yu had made a mistake. She did not know that Lan Jue had long since comprehended the True Meaning of Thunder and Lightning, and even had a deeper comprehension of the Laws.
The profundity of the True Meaning of Lightning lay in the Righteous Qi, the place where the Righteous Qi of Heaven and Earth gathered.
Therefore, those who possessed the ability of thunder and lightning.
He must not do anything that was contrary to Morality, or else his cultivation base would drop drastically.
This was why the Clairvoyant had unhesitatingly chosen Lan Jue.
And why he had joined the Skyfire Avenue Committee.
His ability determined that he could not be an evil person.
But what was the Law of Thunder and Lightning?
Lan Jue's comprehension was Judgement!
Using the Righteousness of Heaven and Earth to judge all evil. This was the Law of Thunder and Lightning.
A speck of golden light began to emerge from Lan Jue's chest, and in that moment the lightning around him was extinguished.
But the golden light continued to spread, spreading to every corner of his body.
When it came to understanding the True Meaning of Thunder and Lightning, it was a competition of Attributes.
In terms of cultivation, Lan Jue was no match for Bing Yu. But Bing Yu was using Attributes to suppress his Lightning Attribute.
Lan Jue had two Attributes, and had also comprehended the Laws.
Under such circumstances, how could he lose?
In the VIP area, when the True Meaning of Ice appeared, Chu Cheng's mouth twitched. He muttered, "This fellow's luck is really good."
Sitting beside him, Huali, who was wearing a hat, mask, and large sunglasses, nodded without hesitation.
With a flash of golden light, Lan Jue suddenly disappeared into thin air.
In the next instant, a golden bolt of lightning landed on the jade-like white body that was emitting a halo.
The lightning circled around, and the True Meaning of Ice suddenly dissipated.
Lan Jue's body reappeared. His entire body was emitting a dazzling golden light, as if a real god had descended.
In his hand was Bing Yu's neck, and the golden lightning spread to every corner of this Absolute Zero beauty's body.
The match was over!
The electronic voice that determined the victor rang out.
Lan Jue retracted his hand from Bing Yu's neck and placed her on the ground.
As the lightning retracted, Bing Yu stared at her unblinkingly, a look of disbelief in her eyes. "You also comprehended the True Meaning, and you're even stronger than me.
How could you comprehend the True Meaning at such a cultivation level?
Why are you only at the third rank of the ninth rank? "
Lan Jue only glanced at her, and silently muttered in her heart that she was at the second rank of the ninth rank.
However, she did not say anything to her. Instead, she turned and walked off the stage.
Bing Yu's eyes did not reveal much disappointment. To be able to cultivate to this level, she did not care too much about the rankings in this competition.
More importantly, she could learn something from this competition. That was the most important thing.
The lightning that Lan Jue had used on her at the end had caused her to feel the complete suppression of her attributes. When Lan Jue used the True Meaning of Ice, she was unable to move, and her attributes were pushed to the extreme.
However, her opponent could move when she used the True Meaning of Lightning.
This was a fundamental difference!
Although she had also felt the true strength of Lan Jue's energy at the last moment, she was convinced of her loss.
They were both geniuses, both young.
The difference in cultivation wasn't nearly as important as the difference in comprehension.
If you had enough comprehension, it was only a matter of time before your cultivation increased. But even if you reached a high level, if you didn't have enough understanding, you wouldn't be able to go far.
Bing Yu's curiosity about Lan Jue was piqued by the loss.
The first round of the tournament was over.
The victors were Titan and Zeus. The losers were Qi Mu and Bing Yu.
Losing a match meant they were out of the running for the next round.
The next round would be Titan against Bing Yu, and Lan Jue against the Wolf King Qi Mu.
If Lan Jue wanted to make it to the next round, then he'd have to beat Qi Mu first.
The first group's matches were over, and the second group began to draw lots.
The second group consisted of the Pharmacist, Jiang Yuan, Chi Tianjiao, and Qian Bian.
The Accountant judged this group to be the one with the least suspense.
Given the Pharmacist's strength, it wouldn't be difficult for her to emerge from this group.
Her strongest opponent would likely be the Dark Magus, Jiang Yuan. He was also from the Dark Citadel.
The first round was between the Pharmacist and Chi Tianjiao, and Jiang Yuan against Qian Bian.
"My turn." The Pharmacist glanced at Lan Jue with a smile.
Lan Jue nodded and shot her a thumbs-up.
The Pharmacist wore a long cheongsam as usual. The light blue material accentuated her charm, and added a touch of classical elegance.
She pushed off the ground with the tips of her toes and floated up to the ring.
The Accountant's analysis of Chi Tianjiao flashed through Lan Jue's mind.
Chi Tianjiao, from the Western Alliance. Discipline: Blood Transformation.
Nickname: Pureblood Enchantress.
Ninth level sixth rank.
Aside from Lan Jue, her Discipline was the weakest of all the competitors.
However, the Accountant had warned her that her Discipline was dangerous.
She could change the blood of her opponent.
It was a special Discipline that allowed her to close the gap in strength.
Chi Tianjiao was a woman, but she was ugly.
She was tall, with a large frame. From her back she looked more like a man, with high cheekbones and a head of short, dark red hair that stood up like steel needles.
Her eyes were a pale red, not large, but they glowed with a cold light.
She licked her lips as she watched the Pharmacist ascend the ring. "Your blood … it must taste good."
The Pharmacist's voice was placid. "Demons and monsters, how dare you act in front of me?"
"Three. Two. One. Begin!"
Chi Tianjiao suddenly let out a loud roar, and a layer of dense blood-red light burst out from her body. It condensed into a human body in front of her; it seemed as if it was made entirely of blood.
The man looked exactly like the Pharmacist in the distance.
"Blood Ignition!" Chi Tianjiao raised her hands to the sky.
The Pharmacist's body trembled, and her face reddened.
She felt as if she had lost control of her own blood, as if it was about to burst out of her body. Chi Tianjiao's body began to glow with a crimson light. The figure in front of her began to blaze with crimson fire.
Waves of crimson energy began to pour out from the Pharmacist's head.
"Hmph!"
The Pharmacist snorted. Her left foot took a half step forward. Her left hand was below, and her right was above. Her ten fingers intertwined in a strange gesture. Her left foot stomped the ground.
Suddenly, a golden light in the shape of a mountain emerged from her body, and her whole body seemed to be nailed to the ground.
The surging blood Qi suddenly disappeared, and the blood man in front of Chi Tianjiao also dissipated in an instant.
The connection between the two was severed.
A beam of cyan light shot out from behind the Pharmacist. It grew in size until it was a giant sword. It slashed at Chi Tianjiao.
Chi Tianjiao felt as if the space around her had been torn apart. She couldn't even dodge.
Her Discipline had been rendered useless, and all her advantages were gone. How was she supposed to dodge the Pharmacist's attack? She was at the pinnacle of ninth level!
The light of the sword filled the air. A giant hand appeared out of thin air, and with a flick of a finger, the sword bounced back to where it had come from.
I'm begging for monthly votes.
