Chapter 72

Battle Spirit Pavilion

Ever since Zhuowen had dealt with the younger generation members of the Chen clan at the trade fair and injured Wang Meng, Zhuowen's prestige within the Zhuo Family had also swelled. Moreover, after Zhuowen possessed the talent to become an Arcanist, this kind of prestige had grown at an exponential rate.

Speaking of which, Zhuowen was currently merely a member of the younger generation of the Zhuo Family. However, his prestige within the Zhuo Family had even surpassed quite a number of elders. Due to this prestige, the Hidden Dragon Pavilion had become extremely lively recently. Quite a number of younger generation members of the Zhuo Family had come to visit the Hidden Dragon Pavilion in succession in order to catch a glimpse of this person of the same generation who had continuously created miracles.

Moreover, there were quite a number of stewards and elders with higher positions within the Zhuo Family who had come to visit. Currently, all of them were aware that Zhuowen's position within the Zhuo Family was already difficult to shake. Forget about Zhuowen's martial talent, just his Arcanist potential and the grandmaster behind him was already sufficient for them to seek connections with him.

Zhuowen had left all of these visitors to the Hidden Dragon Pavilion's steward, Liu Tao.

During this period of time, Liu Tao had been leading a very comfortable life. Quite a number of those who had come to visit had a status far above his. However, all of them were respectful to him and did not dare to slight him even a little. This was because they knew that Liu Tao was one of Zhuowen's people and they definitely could not offend him.

When a man achieves the Dao, even his chickens and dogs will ascend to the heavens.

Due to Zhuowen's extremely shocking prestige, Liu Tao, who was originally a lowly little steward, had now become a very popular person. Liu Tao's heart was extremely comfortable as he enjoyed the respectful gazes of those people. In his heart, he was also secretly rejoicing that he had followed the right person back then.

However, Zhuowen was not too concerned about this kind of soaring prestige. Most of his time was spent on training. During this period of low-key time, Zhuowen had also finally used the Nirvana Demon Flame to refine the Yuan Gathering Pill.

It must be said that the strength of the Nirvana Demon Flame had indeed exceeded Zhuowen's expectations. The medicinal pill refined by it was even purer than before. However, due to the excessive demonic nature within the Nirvana Demon Flame, Zhuowen was unable to activate the Demon Flame for a long period of time. This was also the Nirvana Demon Flame's drawback.

However, the Yuan Gathering pill's medicinal strength was indeed much stronger than the Qi Increasing Pill. According to Zhuowen's estimation, the medicinal strength of this kind of medicinal pill was already comparable to a grade three spiritual medicine.

With the help of the Nirvana Stage, Zhuowen's Nirvana, Nirvana Stage's, Zhuowen's Nine's Nirvana Stage. Zhuowen's Nirvana Nirvana Stage... with Zhuowen's.

As three months passed by in the blink of an eye, Rattan Armor City became more and more lively with each passing day. There was no other reason other than the fact that the market battle that occurred once every five years would be held in a month.

As the market battle approached, everyone in Rattan Armor City's topic of conversation revolved around it.

Everyone knew that the market battle was actually a game. It was a game between the three large clans of Rattan Armor City. At the same time, it was also a competition to display the strength of the younger generation of the three large clans.

The prize of this game was naturally the market that the three clans operated in Rattan Armor City. Although the profits of the market could not be compared to the trading center that Cang Mu was in charge of, there were many markets in Rattan Armor City. Even the trading center could not compare to the profits of the market.

In the past market battles, the Wang Clan always came out on top and won a lot of market from the Zhuo Family and the Chen Clan. Among them, the worst was the Zhuo Family. They came in last almost every time. After a few times, the market under the Zhuo Family's management had shrunk rapidly. Their economic situation had also deteriorated.

Many factions even secretly guessed that if Zhuo Wen ranked last in the market square battle this time, he would perhaps become a second-rate faction in Vine Armor City.

Although many people were guessing who the final winner would be, the most favored was naturally the Wang Clan, who had been the champion of the market battle several times.

As the head of the three large clans in Rattan Armor City, they had a very rich foundation. Wang Meng was also known as the number one person among the younger generation of the three large clans. Even though Zhuowen had defeated him with the help of Master Cang Mu, this title was still unshakable.

According to rumors, Wang Meng had reached the first level of the Yin Void Realm and was able to condense the Void Armor. Recently, he was moving towards the second level of the Yin Void Realm. If this was true, the Wang Clan had a 45% chance of winning this market battle …

In the training room of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, Zhuowen was sitting cross-legged on the bed cultivating. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, interrupting him.

Frowning slightly, Zhuowen waved his right hand gently. The surging Yuanli immediately opened the door in front of him. Outside the door, Liu Tao looked respectful as he carefully entered the room.

"What's the matter?" Zhuowen asked faintly.

"Young master, today the head of the family has summoned the core disciples to the Battle Spirit Pavilion. It is said that there is something important to discuss." Liu Tao cupped his hands and said respectfully.

Zhuo Wen was startled. He hadn't expected that his grandfather would suddenly summon a core disciple. However, when he recalled that the market battle was about to begin in a month, perhaps this so-called important matter had something to do with the market battle.

"Okay!

I see. You can leave now. I will go to the Battle Spirit Pavilion later. "Zhuowen waved his hand casually and said.

However, Liu Tao did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked at Zhuowen with hesitation in his eyes.

"Is there anything else?" Seeing Liu Tao's expression, Zhuowen knew that Liu Tao had something to say.

"Recently, the second master came out of the Reflection Pavilion. It is said that his cultivation has reached the Corporeal Yang Realm. Young master Zhuo Tian also came out of the Black Dragon Pavilion the next day. It is said that his cultivation has reached the peak of the Nirvana Realm."

Speaking of this, Liu Tao glanced at Zhuowen worriedly. He knew that the father and son who came out of the Reflection Pavilion did not have a good relationship with Zhuowen. They even had a deep grudge against each other.

"Zhuo Dingtian, that old man, actually reached the Corporeal Yang Realm in half a year. However, what surprised me the most was Zhuo Tian. He actually reached the peak of the Nirvana Realm in half a year. It seems that this father and son pair have some tricks up their sleeves."

The corners of Zhuo Wen's eyes narrowed slightly. He could still clearly remember the deep hatred in Zhuo Tian's eyes when he defeated him during the Family Competition. If this fellow didn't learn his lesson this time, Zhuo Wen might have to teach him a lesson again …

The Battle Spirit Pavilion was located in the center of the Zhuo Family's Inner Courtyard. At the same time, it was also the place where the head of the Zhuo Family, Zhuo Xiangding, cultivated. It could be considered a forbidden area in the Zhuo Family. Unauthorized people were not allowed to enter as they pleased.

There was a magnificent square in front of the Battle Spirit Pavilion. At this moment, there were already some people gathered in the square. If one looked carefully, these people were the core disciples of the Inner Courtyard. On the platform above these core disciples stood the elders of the Zhuo Family, who had high status in the Zhuo Family.

The leader of the platform was naturally the head of the Zhuo Family, Zhuo Xiangding. Behind him stood the smiling Zhuo Beitian. Beside Zhuo Beitian stood a middle-aged man with a similar appearance. However, this middle-aged man's expression was rather cold.

"Haha!

Second Brother, I really did not expect you to reach the Corporeal Yang Realm in half a year. This way, the high-end strength of our Zhuo Family will be even stronger. I'm afraid that it will not be easy for the covetous Wang Family to swallow our Zhuo Family. "Zhuo Xiangding laughed and patted the middle-aged man behind him on the shoulder.

The middle-aged man was naturally Zhuo Dingtian, who had not appeared for half a year. At this moment, the corners of Zhuo Dingtian's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a trace of an ugly smile. Then, his cold and even somewhat gloomy expression returned.

Zhuo Xiangding did not care about Zhuo Dingtian's cold expression. However, Zhuo Beitian beside him looked at his second brother with a complicated expression. It had to be said that after half a year of seclusion, his second brother had become somewhat unfamiliar.

"Why is Zhuowen not here yet?"

The beautiful Zhuo Xiang 'er looked around the square and muttered unhappily when she did not find the figure she was looking for.

"Little Sister Xiang 'er, are you thinking of your sweetheart?"

A somewhat teasing laughter suddenly sounded. Zhuo Xiang 'er did not need to turn her head to know that the owner of the voice was Zhuo Meixue.

"Let me guess, are you thinking of Cousin Zhuowen?" Zhuo Meixue was not angry when she saw that Zhuo Xiang 'er was ignoring her. Instead, she continued to tease.

When Zhuo Xiang 'er heard this, her cheeks immediately flushed red. She pouted and said somewhat angrily, "Who would think of that guy?"

"Then why are you blushing?"

"When did I …"

Just as the two girls were teasing each other, an uproar suddenly sounded from the square. Then, the two girls looked towards the source of the sound.

They saw a somewhat lonely figure slowly walking over from afar. His light footsteps also seemed exceptionally loud at this moment. When the figure finally walked into the square, everyone quieted down and quietly looked at the somewhat lonely figure.

"Zhuo Tian!

I didn't expect him to come. I thought that he would stay in the Black Dragon Pavilion and not come out. "Zhuo Xiang 'er stared at the somewhat lonely figure and muttered to herself with a rather cold expression.

"After all, he was once the number one person in the Inner Academy. His strength is definitely above ours. He can be considered as one of the main figures in this market battle.

Moreover, I heard that Zhuo Tian's cultivation has reached the peak of the Nirvana Stage. His strength is much stronger than ours. "

Zhuo Mei Xue, who was beside Zhuo Xiang 'er, looked at the lonely figure with fear and the corners of her mouth moved.

Zhuo Tian's figure seemed very out of place in the square. He looked rather indifferently at the core disciples who were gathered in twos and threes in the square. Then, he randomly found a remote place and waited quietly.

On the platform, Zhuo Xiangding also looked at Zhuo Tian with surprise. He turned his head and said to Zhuo Dingtian, "It seems that Zhuo Tian has put in a lot of effort in the past six months. His cultivation has actually reached the peak of the Nirvana Stage."

When Zhuo Xiangding mentioned Zhuo Tian, the corners of Zhuo Dingtian's mouth finally revealed a trace of a gentle smile. He looked at the rather lonely figure with a somewhat doting gaze and said indifferently, "Tian 'er has really worked hard in the past six months. Perhaps the failure in the Family Competition was not without benefits for him."

When Zhuo Xiangding took the initiative to mention the Family Competition, his face stiffened and he did not say anything else.

As time slowly passed, when many people in the square were a little impatient, clear footsteps suddenly came slowly from outside the square.

The footsteps naturally attracted the attention of many people. A tall and straight figure slowly walked into the square from the entrance of the square. When this figure appeared, the square fell into a commotion.

"This guy is finally here!" Zhuo Xiang 'er looked at the figure and sighed slightly.
