Chapter 487: Chapter 487: Total Victory

The results of the Big Three Kingdoms Tournament were spread back home in the blink of an eye.

When the martial artists from Yun, Meng, and Qian Countries learned of the definite news of this championship, it stirred up an immense ripple.

This time, it was a genuine shock to the Lower Three Kingdoms, which was even more intense than the one caused by the Pill Refiners Convention held earlier.

“Oh my god! Qian Country brought three freaks this time!”

“Yun and Meng Countries were easily swept away by Qian Country!

“How did this happen? Didn’t Zhao Shenji from Yun Country participate?”

“I heard that Fang Lin defeated three genius experts by himself!”

“Yang Xuanfeng was also a strong contender, suppressing Meng Langtian from Meng Country.”

“Zhao Shenji and Han Xiaoxing fought a life-and-death battle, and the latter killed Zhao.”

····

The news kept spreading among people, causing an increasing shock. For a time, the martial artists in the Lower Three Kingdoms talked mostly about Yang Xuanfeng, Han Xiaoxing, and Fang Lin.

Especially Fang Lin, because of his ability to defeat three geniuses alone, coupled with his identity as a Pill Refiner, was extremely unique.

A Pill Refiner who remarkably outperformed in the Big Three Kingdoms Tournament, successively defeating three young talents, was simply unimaginable.

Many people initially didn’t even believe it. After all, Fang Lin was quite famous in the field of pill refining, he was regarded by many as the number one genius pill refiner in the Lower Three Kingdoms.

But now, you tell me that Fang Lin is also the top martial artist in the Lower Three Kingdoms? Who would believe this? Even a genius doesn’t have the energy to study martial arts and Alchemy Tao at the same time.

For a moment, Fang Lin’s popularity was extremely high, almost everyone in the Lower Three Kingdoms came to know about him.

When the news of the grand victory returned to Qian Country, the entire country was stirred up and burst into cheers of jubilation. Apart from a few forces, almost all major Sect forces in Qian Country were very excited.

Especially the Purple Mist Sect and the Royal Family, everyone was overjoyed. It was a victory that hadn’t been gained for many years in Qian Country.

Of course, some were happy and some were worried. The Li Family was the one force in Qian Country that could not celebrate.

When the news of Qian Country’s grand victory came back, there was a pervasive gloom over the Li Family from top to bottom.

There was no other reason. The Li Family initially held a position in the main list, but they were abruptly pushed down by Fang Lin. This was a humiliation for the Li Family.

If Qian Country had lost because of this in the Big Three Kingdoms Tournament, the Li Family would have secretly rejoiced.

But at present, not only did Qian Country not lose, but they also achieved a grand victory. The trio of Yang Xuanfeng also gained their reputations.

Consequently, the Li Family found their situation awkward. More than one or two members of the Li Family secretly questioned whether Li Guanxin could have done the same as Fang Lin had he participated?

Speaking of Li Guanxin, when he learned that Fang Lin had overshadowed all the others in the big Three Kingdoms Competition, he spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood in anger. He hadn’t recovered from his previous fight against Fang Lin and his injuries got worse due to the rage.

The higher ranks of the Li Family were also extremely unreconciled. In their view, had Li Guanxin gone, he would definitely have achieved the same results.

But no matter how much bitterness they had, the Li Family could only silently accept the current situation, suppressing all the discontent and indignation in their hearts.

···

Compared with the jubilant scene in Qian Country, Yun and Meng Countries were shrouded in gloomy clouds. The martial artists from these two countries were extremely furious. The last time they suffered such a significant blow was at the Pill Refiners Convention when Fang Lin’s name was the most mentioned.

Now, in the Big Three Kingdoms Tournament, Fang Lin, once again, came to be the most frequently mentioned name. It was the same guy who severely damaged the morale of the two countries’ fighters.

Although Yang Xuanfeng and Han Xiaoxing also delivered excellent performances,people paid more attention to Fang Lin.

For a while, titles like The Top Talent of the Lower Three Kingdoms, the Alchemy and Martial Talent, and so on, all fell on the head of Fang Lin.

Although Yun and Meng Countries were very angry at Fang Lin, they had to admit that he was quite impressive. Whether in terms of Alchemy Tao or Martial Arts, he was simply impeccable.

After the Big Three Kingdoms Tournament, the Royal Family of Yun Country and the Hazy Sect went away hastily, inevitably leaving behind Zhao Zhenlong.

It could be inferred that a great disturbance would arise in Yun Country relating to the throne, which could even have an impact on the rise and fall of Yun Country in the future.

In Meng Country, the Meng Country’s Royal Family left midway, and then Black Yin Sect and Huang Family also returned to Qian Country together.

The relationship between these two forces and Meng Country’s Royal Family was not very harmonious, so they were not very invested in the Big Three Kingdoms Tournament.

As for Qian Country, at the end of the Big Three Kingdoms Tournament, Han Luoyun took Yang Xuanfeng, Han Xiaoxing, and Fang Lin and left for the Dragon Blood Pool.

The victorious country in the Big Three Kingdoms Tournament was allowed to go to the Dragon Blood Pool for a baptism.

Every minute counts, Han Luoyun directly took the trio on the journey, letting Yang Jianye, and the others return back to Qian Country.

On board the Flying Boat of the Purple Mist Sect, Han Luoyun and the others arrived at the location of the Dragon Blood Pool.

They saw a towering mountain below, with a faintly golden pool at the top of the mountain.

“Here we are. This place is the Dragon Blood Pool,” Han Luoyun said to the trio.

Visible to the naked eye, there was an array shrouding the mountain top, with faint flashes of lightning. Obviously, this array was extraordinary; anyone who touched it would attract a thunder attack.

The Dragon Blood Pool was not in the territory of any of the Lower Three Kingdoms, but because all of them were nearby, the Dragon Blood Pool was designated as collectively owned by the Lower Three Kingdoms.

Moreover, the elders of the Lower Three Kingdoms once agreed that only the victorious country in the Big Three Kingdoms Tournament could enter the Dragon Blood Pool for a baptism.

Only three people could enter at a time. If there was one more, the array would expel it.

The Flying Boat landed, the group got off the boat, and reached the energy barrier of the array. Han Luoyun took out a purple token and imprinted it on the lightning energy barrier.

The token merged into the energy barrier of the array, and then a crack appeared. Han Luoyun led the way, and Yang Xuanfeng trio followed closely, thus entering the array.

Once inside the array, they found themselves in another world. Fang Lin and the others were surprised to find that they couldn’t see anything from the outside world here, and the scenery here was different from what they had seen from the outside.

However, thinking about it, it made sense. This was the Dragon Blood Pool, which was one of the most cherished places in the Lower Three Kingdoms. Naturally, it had to be heavily guarded. One could not see the actual location of the Dragon Blood Pool from the outside. If they rashly broke into the array, they would end up in self-destruction.

The Dragon Blood Pool was not on top of the mountain, but inside a cavern. At the entrance of the cavern, there was a statue of a True Dragon, emitting a faint dragon aura.

“This is…” The trio of Fang Lin looked surprised. Although it was just a statue, it was so stately that it was difficult to resist the urge to pay their respects.

“Though it’s a statue, it contains a piece of real dragon scale, hence the dragon aura overflows from it,” said Han Luoyun in a solemn tone.
