Chapter Seventy-One: Welcome Challenge

  After the explosion, Long Ge and Long Da stood still, separated from each other.

  Two people passed each other by, standing back to back.

  Both of them stood very steadily!

  "Who won?" The audience under the stage guessed!

  "It seems like Long Ge's gun is gone!" a student said.

  "Huh? It seems so." Another student said.

  Long Song now stands on one side of the arena, and the spear in his hand is gone!

  Long stood on the other side of the arena, with a spear in his hand and another one stuck in his chest armor! The spear had pierced Long's golden middle-grade helmet and was now lodged in his armor.

  "Pffft!" Long spat out a mouthful of blood, turned around and said to Long Ge, "Thanks, spare my life!"

  "Hehe, if I don't show mercy, Teacher Banpai won't let me off the hook?" Long Ge also turned around, smiling as he said.

  "Before I rose to the high-level department, I was already happy to be able to fight with you," Long laughed and wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Long Ge, I admire you! I admit defeat!"

  "Ding!" After listening, Teacher Banpai said, "I declare, Longge's challenge is successful!"

  "Congratulations!" Long Da pulled out the gun on Long Ge's body and returned it to him, along with a golden badge representing first place in the Central Chart!

  "Thank you!" Long Song retracted his spear, "Your skill with the gun has reached the realm of unity between man and gun, while I have reached the realm of separation between man and gun. I hope you can also achieve it!"

  "Separate man and gun?" Long Da thought slowly, then replied, "Thank you! If one day we have success, we will continue to compete!"

  "Alright!" Long Ge took over the emblem and pinned it on his chest. The words on the emblem changed to: Central Ranking First, Long Ge!

  "Oh~~~" Long Di and his team rushed up to surround Long Ge, successfully challenging the number one on the list. What a proud thing it is!

  "Oh~~~" The audience below was not satisfied, the entire battle lasted for an hour, making the students below very excited, and many combat skills in the battle between Long Song and Long Da also gave them a lot of experience! So they were still discussing on the seats in the arena, reluctant to leave for a long time!

  "Xiao Long Song, are you going to claim your challenge reward or not!" Class Teacher Ban said as he saw that Long Song and the others were still celebrating without any intention of stopping.

  "Got it!" Long Ge said.

  "What kind of top-grade equipment or armor are you looking for?" asked Teacher Banpai.

  "Hmm..." Long Song thought for a moment, his defense was strong enough, so he didn't need armor. The heavy sword could be further refined later, so what he needed now was a long spear. "I want a high-quality golden long spear!"

  "Alright! Take it!" Teacher Banpai handed a golden long spear of high quality to Longge.

  "Thank you, teacher!" Long Ge grasped the long spear in his hand, and saw that the entire body of the spear was golden, even the spearhead was golden! Then, with the addition of the Golden Attribute's destructive effect, it perfectly suited the current Long Ge (Long Ge can only use Earth and Fire Attributes' Dou Qi right now, so a long spear with the Golden Attribute's Dou Qi was exactly what he needed).

  Long Song took a look at his name ranked first in the middle list, then smiled, he knew he would be challenged by many people, but what Long Song feared least was challenges and being challenged!

  "Welcome, come and challenge!" Long Ge loudly declared.

  The sound resonated throughout the entire arena under the amplification of the Dou Qi, and in an instant, the whole stadium erupted!

  "Long Song actually dares to challenge others, it seems that today we will have a good show again!" A student exclaimed excitedly.

  "Yes, it's definitely going to be exciting. Long Ge has already risen from 50th place on the Dragon Ranking to 8th place, and he has even defeated Long Zhongwu, who was in 5th place. Now, only those ranked in the top four of the new ranking have the strength and qualifications to challenge Long Ge. Excluding Long Da, there are only three people left: Long Zhong'er, Long Zhong'san, and Long Zhong'si. I believe they won't let this opportunity slip by. If they wait until Long Ge recovers his strength, it might be impossible for them to succeed!" Another student analyzed carefully.

  "It seems like all three of them are under the ring now, I wonder who will challenge first?" said the student.

  "Haha! Let's not think too much and just wait for a good show!" The student behind said excitedly.

  Next to the stage.

  "Which one of us three should go challenge first? This is a great opportunity, if we can stabilize our ranking as the top three for a year, we might be able to get a high-quality weapon!" Long Zhong Er said to the other two.

  "Now Long Song is probably exhausted, after all, he has been fighting for an hour and it's against the strongest dragon, Da Long. He has already vomited blood during the battle, I believe he only has about 40% of his combat strength left. If you guys don't go up, I will!" said Long Zhong Si.

  "Alright! The opportunity is yours first!" Long Zhong Er and Long Zhong San said with a smile on their faces, they knew that Long Ge still had a lot of fighting strength left, so they let Long Zhong Si go first to test the waters. Even if Long Zhong Si succeeded in his challenge, he would still have to be challenged by them afterwards, so they were not anxious at all!

  Long Zhong jumped up onto the middle of the stage and pointed at Long Ge's name, then stood ten meters in front of him.

  "Dragon Song, I, Long Zhong Si, will teach you a lesson!" Long Zhong Si said.

  "Great! I've been waiting for this!" Long Ge said excitedly, then gestured to Long Di and the others to leave, giving him a place to fight!

  "Take it!" Long Zhong and the others had all walked out of the arena, and now they were making their move, using the most exhausting technique to consume Dragon Song's energy. Now his goal was to exhaust Dragon Song's energy as much as possible, and then defeat him with one blow!

  "Good!" Long Ge also made his move, which was the same as the most energy-consuming technique. Long Ge wouldn't worry about energy consumption because of the existence of white energy. For him, there was no possibility of running out of energy. Usually, he would only refine the Great Replenishment Pill for Long Di and others to take, but for himself, he never needed to eat medicinal pills to recover his energy!

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!" The intense collision occurred back and forth! Long Zhong Si desperately used his Qi, he knew that competing in fighting skills would definitely lose to Long Ge, so he desperately consumed his Qi! And Long Ge also desperately consumed his Qi, anyway, his Qi recovery ability was super strong! (The Imperial Academy stipulated that during a one-on-one battle, it is not allowed to take medicinal pills, otherwise, who knows how long the fight will last!)

  After twenty minutes of intense fighting, Long Zhongsi's aura began to dwindle. He had been exhausting his aura at an alarming rate, so it was being depleted extremely quickly. If this were a normal battle, his aura might not have dwindled for an entire day! However, due to the excessive usage, the consumption and absorption of his aura were out of proportion, causing his aura to become scarce.

  On the contrary, Longge has no such worries. With the five elements and white energy, Longge can quickly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at any time and place, so there is no sign of exhaustion of Longge's Dou Qi. In short, the characteristics of white energy are strong endurance, strong explosive power, and all attributes! With white energy, Longge is not only invincible in the same level, but also can fight across levels!

  "The Liuhua Spear Technique settles it in one battle!" Along with Long Ge's powerful spear, Long Zhong Si was sent flying with a mouthful of blood!

  "Ding!" said Teacher Banpai, "I declare, Longzhong Fourth's challenge has failed!"

  "Who else?" Long Ge shouted, but his eyes were fixed on the direction of Long Zhong Er and Long Zhong San. Then he pressed the badge with one hand, lighting up his own name.

  "I'm here!" Long Zhong San rushed up to the middle of the stage, pointed at Long Ge's name, and then stood in front of him. Long Ge had been fighting for one hour and twenty minutes, and Long Zhong San thought his chance had come!

  "Good!" Long Ge patted the high-quality long spear on the Golden Equipment, "Let me practice with this spear too!"

  "Alright! Don't practice your gun or you'll end up being knocked down by me!" Long Zhong San didn't give Long Ge time to catch his breath, and directly made a move! It was also the most exhausting move in terms of Dou Qi, making Long Ge use up all his Dou Qi in a fierce battle!

  "Haha!" Long Ge laughed, what he was least afraid of was exhausting his Dou Qi. Moreover, such a large consumption of Dou Qi was the best for him. Only by consuming quickly could he absorb quickly, and only by absorbing quickly could he make great progress!

  "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" A fierce explosion sounded on the stage, and everything from broken cymbals to exploding firecrackers flew wildly around the stage. If Teacher Banpai hadn't been watching from the side, the students standing next to the stage would probably have already been seriously injured!

  The intense explosion lasted for a full thirty minutes. Long Zhong San was indeed much stronger than Long Zhong Si, but even if he were stronger, he still wouldn't be a match for Long Ge!

  In a beautiful long spear thrust in Long Song Yi's memory, Long Zhong San spat out blood and flew backwards!

  "Ding!" said Mr. Banpai, "I declare, Long Ge wins!"

  "Long Zhong II, come on up and challenge me!" Long Ge didn't wait for Teacher Ban's voice to fall before speaking to Long Zhong II beside the arena, then pressed his own badge again, and Long Ge's name lit up once more on the rankings!

  "Fine! Don't blame me for taking advantage of your weakness!" Long Zhong Er flew up to the middle rank and pointed at Long Ge's name.

  "Hehe, I'll just let others know that I'm the most welcoming of challenges!" Long Ge said with a smile.

  "You've been consuming a lot of Dou Qi for two hours already, let's see how you can still fight me!" Long Zhong Er took out his own weapon, which was also a high-quality golden instrument.

  "Oh~~ So you guys were desperately consuming my Dou Qi just to exhaust me and defeat me? Haha!" Long Song burst out laughing!

  "Isn't it?" asked Long Zhong'er.

  "Try it and you'll know!" Long Ge said. Long Ge would definitely not tell others the secret of quickly restoring his Dou Qi, knowing it himself was enough!

  "Alright! I'll exhaust your chi again, let's see if you really have inexhaustible chi!" Long Zhong Er said, immediately using the Golden Bell Breaking Technique, the most chi-consuming move!

  "Haha! Good!" Long Song also made a fierce counterattack. He wouldn't be foolish enough to let the opponent attack, and a strong offense was the best defense!

  "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" The intense explosion echoed throughout the arena, with scattered auras dazzling everyone's eyes.

  Thirty minutes later, Long Zhong Er finally discovered that Long Ge didn't even have the slightest sign of exhaustion! What should he do then? Rely on skill, could he defeat Long Ge with his skills?
