I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything

Dongxu Martial Mansion, besides the Secret Realm, also has direct cooperation with the military, making it one of the Four Great Martial Mansions with the most ferocious academic atmosphere.

Even the Martial Arts Arena is built in the shape of a dueling cage.

And at this moment, inside the cage...

A young man, bare-chested and covered in ferocity, is battling a Sharp angled Tiger.

Facing a Level 7 Demon Beast, his strength is obviously insufficient. At this moment, he's already covered in blood from head to toe, yet he shows no fear, carefully avoiding all fatal attacks.

Letting his body be torn to shreds, bloody and battered.

Yet he remains indifferent, his gaze fixed intently on the increasingly ferocious Sharp angled Tiger...

Finally, just one opportunity...

Taking advantage of the moment the Sharp angled Tiger clawed into his shoulder, leaving three bone-deep scars, unable to pull back its strength in time.

He counterattacks by mounting the tiger's back, muscles on his arms bursting, veins bulging like the twisted roots of an ancient tree...

"Roar!!"

The Sharp angled Tiger roars furiously, yet can't break free from his grip, its neck firmly constrained by his force.

A Level 7 Demon Beast comparable to a Profound Realm martial artist, over four meters long, a frightening beast of great strength, unable to escape a human's restraint; purely by strength, this human surpasses the Level 7 Demon Beast.

Under his constriction, the beast's roars gradually weaken...

Until there's no sound anymore.

Only then does the man rise, panting in exhaustion, clearly having reached his limit long ago.

He signals to open the cage and turns to step out.

Accepting a towel from an attendant, he wipes the sweat from his face, then sinks into a pre-prepared nutrition pool, letting the nutrient liquid soothe his battered body.

The intense stinging sensation oddly brings him comfort...

An elder standing respectfully beside him for some time says, "Congratulations, Your Highness. You managed to strangle a Level 7 Sharp angled Tiger in a fair fight. You are undoubtedly the champion in this trial."

Han Yun City, the strongest among Dongxu Martial Mansion's Tier Three students!

Even many Grade Four martial artists dare not accept his challenge... After all, countless Profound Realm martial artists have fallen at his feet in the mansion, including those with severe injuries.

Extremely powerful, but more frightening is his madness.

Once marked by him, losing is acceptable, but winning means facing endless challenges until defeated.

This is a madman.

Especially since this madman's strength progresses at an alarming rate...

"If not for you forcing me to suppress my cultivation, I'd already be in the Profound Realm."

Han Yun City's body is enveloped in the nutrient chamber, only his head is exposed. He closes his eyes, indifferent to the subordinates' compliments, coldly saying, "A Level 7 Demon Beast poses no threat to me anymore. I need stronger opponents... "

The elder responds respectfully, "You can rest assured, our earlier plans may have faltered, but it was merely an accident. As long as you can kill that Dragon Gate Champion Scholar in battle, you can prove that the Dragon Gate Champion is just a hollow joke, and you'll still catch Your Majesty's attention."

"Heh... Hehehe..."

Han Yun City chuckles coldly, saying, "If he wants to see me, I need do nothing for him to notice. If he doesn't want to see me, even if I slice myself to pieces, he wouldn't spare a glance..."

"But we need to prove your strength to those people, demonstrate your excellence!"

The elder earnestly says, "As long as you exhibit the finest talents of our younger generation..."

"Enough, I don't need to prove anything to anyone, I just need formidable opponents."

The elder continues, "You are well aware of how much effort you've put into the Dragon Gate Examination, more than anyone else. And that Xu Lingjun, just three points behind you, but his intelligence bridges that gap. Moreover, when Xu Lingjun was assessed, he was only in the Qi Gathering Realm, but now has successfully broken through to the Huichuan Realm. Theoretically, he's on the same starting line as you now!"

He says, "No one else knows how much hardship you've endured for your strength, more than you yourself. Xu Lingjun is two years younger, yet with such power, surely he's not simple?"

"You should've said so earlier."

Han Yun City closes his eyes and says, "I understand the principle of returning favors. If you hadn't gifted me Cultivation Techniques, I might've died on the Polar Star Battlefield. I will repay this favor, I won't let Xu Lingjun off easily, rest assured. I need to rest now."

"Yes, I will not disturb Your Highness's recovery. I take my leave."

The elder bows respectfully and then retreats, closing the door gently behind him as he exits.

Nanyun Martial Mansion.

"Xiaomu, this time it's up to you. You should understand the key here, we must stifle all of Han Yun City's chances to shine. Last time you failed, fortunately, Xu Lingjun emerged unexpectedly... But this time, we can't rely on luck."

The Pavilion Master of Nanyun Martial Mansion, Zhou Qianmo, earnestly instructed his grandson, saying, "I don't think your strength is inferior to that Han Yun City, but he has grown on the Polar Star Battlefield, with extremely rich battle experience. Even a blade of grass or a piece of rope might become his weapon. Your battle experience is definitely not as rich as his... So, your task is quite heavy."

"Grandpa, rest assured, I won't let you down this time."

Zhou Mu's handsome face showed a resolute expression as he spoke.

"You've been excellent since you were a child, and naturally, you won't let me down again."

Zhou Qianmo smiled and said, "Go and cultivate; it's the final moment. Sharpen your axe before the battle, it can't hurt."

He paused and said, "Actually, I have a suggestion. If Han Yun City wants to make up for previous regrets, the best way is to strike Xu Lingjun and take away his halo. In this way, your interests align with Xu Lingjun. Once inside the Secret Realm, you can actually cooperate with him."

"Yes, Grandpa."

Upon hearing this, a shadow flashed across Zhou Mu's eyes.

Then he couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly, but his voice remained unchanged. He respectfully responded, "I understand, Grandpa. I will handle it as the situation requires. I'll go back to cultivate now."

"Hmm, you may go."

Zhou Mu turned and left.

At West Origin Martial Mansion, Zhou Qingwan was also earnestly instructing Sun Lingli, but in her view, Sun Lingli didn't need to push herself too hard. As the next successor of the Wind Fist Style, all she needed was formidable strength and more comprehensive knowledge of Martial Tao.

Although Feng Zhichen is old, her lifespan is not yet exhausted. She still has enough time to grow slowly.

"Just participate in the fun. I've heard there are many powerful Demon Beasts in the Miwu Ghost Forest of Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, quite different from the Secret Realm of our West Origin Martial Mansion... Maybe you could find an opportunity for a breakthrough there?"

"Yes, Aunt Pavilion Master, I understand."

Sun Lingli nodded with a serious face, but her mind had already wandered to the skies...

Isn't Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion the place where Xu Tongxue is?

He made me drink so much of his Life No.1 before, helping me to get into the West Origin Martial Mansion, and I haven't had a chance to thank him yet.

It's just the right time to bring some specialties to him.

Thinking of this, the young girl couldn't help but become a little infatuated.

"Xiaojun... You... Ah... Mr. Wang? Why are you here?"

When Gu Xi arrived, she didn't see Xu Lingjun at first glance. Instead, she saw Wang Tiancheng biting a pen cap, seriously writing something.

"Father Wang wants to do some small business here; he's about to open soon."

Xu Lingjun came out of the bedroom and explained briefly to Gu Xi.

Wang Tiancheng smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Yes, in a few days, I'll open for business. Be sure to come and support me, Instructor Gu. I've spent good money to buy the most delicious hot pot recipe; it'll definitely make your tongue fall out from the taste."

"Hot pot?"

Gu Xi glanced with surprise at Wang Tiancheng, then asked Xu Lingjun, "Didn't you tell your dad that a dozen hot pot restaurants in Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion closed because of no business?"

Xu Lingjun didn't know how to explain, so he simply said, "The way my dad does business is different from normal people."

"Oh."

Gu Xi didn't dwell on the matter and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to the special training room for another session."

"Okay!"

Xu Lingjun understood Gu Xi's intention. She clearly wanted to help him sharpen more. After all, sharpening an axe before the battle can't hurt.

The Four Mansions Trial was approaching, and from Gu Xi's introduction, this trial was unlike any before. Even Central City Martial Mansion wanted a hand in it.

Especially since the Pavilion Master of Central City Martial Mansion and the Pavilion Master of Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion were seemingly rivals in their younger years. Although they've known each other for decades, they are not on good terms...

This dislike might very well influence the students' emotions below.

This means that these students from Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, besides dealing with fierce Demon Beasts, might also face a large batch of fellow students who harbor malice from Central City Martial Mansion.

Especially Xu Lingjun; this matter could be quite troublesome for him...

As the Dragon Gate Champion Scholar, even if he hadn't done anything, just his title alone could make him the center of attention for all whirlpools.

Those who want to become famous, those who envy or harbor malice, all eyes would be on him.

Everyone wants to break his halo and wear it themselves, or at the very least, pulling him down from the clouds would satisfy their jealousy.

It's precisely because she has absolute confidence in Xu Lingjun's defense power that Gu Xi doesn't wish for Xu Lingjun to withdraw from the trial...

And now the only thing she can do is to help Xu Lingjun with the most basic training, to enhance his ability to face any challenges.
