"It is actually the power that you won't give up." the man without calves directly laid bare his thoughts.

With no words, Long Taibai's face was frozen. Then he sneered at him, "You're right, but so what? What's wrong with power?"

"Power is fine. But you are blinded by power. You become insane. Enough is enough. Your desire for power is far beyond control, which leads to today's tragedy of the Dragon Group. If you don't stop, the result must be miserable." said the man without calves calmly. His cold pale face was filled with sympathy.

However, Long Taibai ignored the sympathy of the man without calves. Instead, he was annoyed, "So a miserable end is the curse you put on me? All right, I won't let you get what you want. I'm here to tell you that, tomorrow, after tomorrow, I will lead the Dragon Group to its glorious peak. I'm going to eliminate all enemies who get in the way of the Dragon Group. I will let the world know that the Dragon Group is the most powerful group in Huaxia. No one can stop it from moving forward!"

The moment he finished his words, Long Taibai swung his sleeves and turned around angrily.

"Amitabha, my brother, why are you still so stubborn?" the man without calves said again, which held Long Taibai back. He wanted to know what else his older brother would like to say.

"In view of your talent, if you devote yourself to pursuing martial arts without being captivated by power, you must have achieved the Spirit Stage of Martial Cultivator. Why don't you understand that? Alas..." The sigh revealed the man's appointment and helplessness.

"The Spirit Stage? Ha, ha, ha..." Long Taibai laughed weirdly. Suddenly, his Qi was greatly amplified. His clothes were bulging by themselves. Even the air around him seemed to be pressed by the flow of his Qi and became distorted.

The man without calves felt something wrong and opened his eyes. He was surprised seeing Long Taibai's Qi increasing so rapidly. He was a little shocked and said, "Are you already in the Spirit Stage?"

"Yes, just recently. Now I'm in the Spirit Stage, the strongest stage for Martial Cultivators. Who dares to stop me? This is what power has brought to me. It gave me the best cultivation resources. I just need to give an order, and then countless people will bring the cultivation resource to me, even though that means to risk their lives. Is entering the Spirit Stage still a problem with so many good cultivation resources? So, what's wrong with power?" Long Taibai turned back soon and stared at the man with sharp looks. He was waiting for his answer.

"Amitabha, forgive him, forgive him." the man without calves prayed to the Buddha and ignored Long Taibai's looks. He closed his eyes again and started to chant Buddhist sutras.

"Hum! Fools grow without watering." Long Taibai turned around angrily and walked away.

...

At the base of the Sky Group in the Cloud Gazing Mountain: under a tree at the back of the mountain, the moment an explosive sound shocked the silent night sky, a sylphlike shadow soared up to the sky and glided down slowly like a night fairy.

"I've broken through?" s.h.i.+ Bingying was surprised but happy. The transition, from the middle period of the Perfection Stage to the late period of the Perfection Stage, took only a few days. This was what she couldn't believe before. The Purple Jade Liquid that Qin Hao talked about was really extraordinarily.

She had broken through with just one drop. How about Qin Hao who had used so many of the Purple Jade Liquid?

Thinking of Qin Hao, s.h.i.+ Bingying immediately looked far into the other side of the mountain.

Qin Hao told her that his breakthrough might be destructive. To avoid influencing her breakthrough, he chose another place to cultivate.

"Let me take a look." s.h.i.+ Bingying jumped to the sky and went forward to the direction of Qin Hao. She was a little curious and expectant.

The place that Qin Hao chose was a flat and smooth slabstone. At the moment the roars of wind were surrounding the slabstone. Dead twigs and withered leaves were engulfed by the howling whirlwinds and were whirling madly.

The Little Monster had come back now. It had meant to protect Qin Hao. But it didn't know that Qin Hao would make such a large scene. It retreated again and again out of fear. It stopped at the place one-hundred-meter away from Qin Hao. It was curiously watching Qin Hao with eyes wide open, not knowing what he was doing.

s.h.i.+ Bingying was also surprised at the scene here. What Qin Hao was cultivating for? It was not necessary to create such a large scene even if it was for a breakthrough.

However, suddenly, an explosive sound shocked s.h.i.+ Bingying and the Little Monster a lot. It was like the air exploded. Qin Hao soared to the sky with a whirl of strong wind. The slabstone that he had been sitting was completely cracked, which had caused the explosive sound.

"Hao...!" screamed s.h.i.+ Bingying. She rushed forward for a few steps, wanting to know what happened to Qin Hao.

"Hoo." A gust of strong wind pa.s.sed above s.h.i.+ Bingying's head. She stopped at once. She hadn't realized what happened until she felt someone behind her was holding her waist.

"Bad guy." s.h.i.+ Bingying cursed playfully.

"Ha, ha." Qin Hao giggled while holding s.h.i.+ Bingying's soft body, "You've broken through too?"

"Yep. The late period of the Perfection Stage. How about you?" gently asked s.h.i.+ Bingying while her head was leaning on Qin Hao's chest.

"Of course, the Peak of Third Stage Martial Cultivator, not far from the Fourth Stage Martial Cultivator. Haha." Qin Hao laughed satisfactorily, "No wonder the Purple Jade Liquid was listed as medium Spirit Material."

The Purple Jade Liquid was exactly the blue jade thing that Nie Jingshan presented to Qin Hao.

The Nie Family had been regarding it as a special jade. It was handed down from ancestors of the Nie Family. But since its history was so long that no one in the Nie Family now knew where it came from and what effects it had. They only knew that it was very helpful for Martial Cultivators.

The Nie Family had once invited some Martial Cultivators to check it. But they didn't find it anything special but merely a rare jade. They thought it was invaluable but was no use for the cultivation of Martial Cultivators.

In fact, seen from outside, it was just a peculiar blue jade with blue liquid in.

The liquid was actually a kind of Spirit Liquid that was concentrated in the jade. Once the Spirit Liquid was wrapped by the peculiar jade, its Spirit Qi was therefore sealed. This was why ordinary Martial Cultivators failed to find its value.

It was exactly the way the Spirit Liquid was concentrated and sealed in the jade that prevented its Spirit Qi from leaking. Year after year, the Spirit Qi became even purer and thicker, which enhanced its effects.

If Qin Hao hadn't had Spirit Sense, he would haven't found its value and recognized that it was the Purple Jade Liquid.

To recognize it was the Purple Jade Liquid was also attributed to the other soul in Qin Hao's body. The soul that was from the Spirit Martial Continent in the Martial Cultivation World had once seen this kind of thing. On the Spirit Martial Continent, the Purple Jade Liquid was a kind of mid-level Spirit Material. In this world, however, it was enough to be listed as a kind of top-level Spirit Material.

Considering the powerful Spirit Qi of the Purple Jade Liquid, Qin Hao gave s.h.i.+ Bingying only one drop after he had broken the jade, since she couldn't bear more than one drop. Her meridians couldn't bear so much Spirit Qi moving inside.

Qin Hao was different from her. His meridians had long been enhanced and expanded. He had gathered all conditions for the transition except enough Spirit Qi. The amount of Spirit Qi that he needed to upgrade was so large that ordinary spiritual herbs and Spirit Stones wouldn't work. Even though there were many spiritual herbs and Spirit Stones in his s.p.a.ce Ring, he didn't want to use them. Since they're far from enough for his transition, so he preferred to not use them.

The Purple Jade Liquid in the jade was not the same. Although it was just one little jade, the liquid in it was highly concentrated Spirit Qi. One drop was equal to thousands of ordinary Spirit Stones.

With enough Spirit Qi, Qin Hao's transition became natural.

He was in the Peak of Third Stage Martial Cultivator. This gave him more courage to fight the battle tomorrow.

s.h.i.+ Bingying raised her pretty face while looking at Qin Hao's chin and asked, "Hao, what are you cultivating? Why is it different from ours? Why is it called the Third Stage Martial Cultivator?"

Qin Hao put his chin on s.h.i.+ Bingying's delicate face. He thought for a while and answered, "I don't know how to explain it to you. According to your standard, I should be now in the Peak of Perfection Stage. But the Peak of Perfection Stage that I'm in is as strong as Martial Cultivators who are in the Spirit Stage."

s.h.i.+ Bingying agreed with that. When this guy was at the island on the Indian Ocean, he, who was then still in the Inner Stage, was already fighting with others who were in higher stages. He had even killed people who were in the middle period of the Perfection Stage.

He was in the Peak of Perfection Stage now. While it was unsure for him to kill people in the Spirit Stage, it was sure for him to have a good fight with them.

It was surprising that tonight they broke through one after another. If the Little Monster was one of them, they broke through one after another after another.

The breakthrough tonight was encouraging. But they both fell silent when thinking about the battle at tomorrow. They held each other peacefully, cheris.h.i.+ng the sweet moment when they were together.

Tomorrow, who knew what would happen to them?

...

In the morning, the fiery sun was slowly rising from the horizon line, shedding warm light on the ground and declaring that a new day was coming.

Today was a normal day, a very ordinary day, for others. But for the Sky Group and the Dragon Group and relative people, today was a decisive day to their fate. The fresh blood in the battle was doomed to dazzle their eyes and shock their hearts like the red rising sun.

In the Cloud Gazing Mountain, at the base of the Sky Group, all its members had gotten up early and were lining up in a row at the practice field. Li Zhanwu had driven here early too.

He was majestic-looking, wearing his general uniform. His beautiful daughter－Li Tielan also came with him.

Qin Hao also put on his Major General uniform. He was also majestic-looking with an aura of heroism, which received admiration from members of the Sky Group. Li Tielan, who came with Li Zhanwu, also couldn't help taking several looks at him.

Li Tielan got a bad impression of Qin Hao in the first place. He had once ruined her party. In addition, that was at night and Qin Hao was wearing ordinary and dirty clothes.

But this time, when she saw him again, she saw a young and handsome Major General. She felt she had been wrong about him.

Especially when seeing Qin Hao's prestige in front of these elites in the Sky Group, she felt the flows of love were waving in her heart.

After Li Zhanwu had given another encouraging speech, these people took three military vehicles and went out of the Cloud Gazing Mountain. They were heading the arena in the capital city.

Liu Yan and Li Tielan knew each other at long ago. They were in the last car. Qin Hao, s.h.i.+ Bingying and Li Zhanwu were in the first car.

On the way, Qin Hao, seeing that Li Tielan was in another car, queried Li Zhanwu, "Old Li, you knew it would be dangerous, why you took your daughter here?"

Li Zhanwu smiled mysteriously, "Qin Hao, don't look down upon my daughter. I took her for a reason. You may be surprised when you see her performance."

"What?" Curiosity emerged from Qin Hao's face. Was Li Tielan also a Martial Cultivator? It was impossible. She didn't have the Qi of a Martial Cultivator. Had she also learned how to hide her Qi?

But this wouldn't beat Qin Hao. He released his Spirit Sense immediately. Strong as he who in the Spirit Stage was, Ye Tianping's The Hiding of Qi couldn't avoid being exposed by Qin Hao's Spirit Sense. It was impossible for Li Tielan to be stronger than Ye Tianping.

However, when Qin Hao had fixed his Spirit Sense on Li Tielan who was in the car behind, he was shocked.
