Chapter 1016: Chapter 659: Immortal’s Cave, Arena Dominator, Yin-Yang Demon Purge!

Arthur smiled and reassured his teacher not to be nervous:

[Teacher, I understand, but I believe that having many people doesn’t represent anything, and having a long history is merely the legacy of predecessors.

I’ve read all the information you provided, and only a few can be considered real opponents.

I am confident that the honor will stay in France, in the European Union.]

Arthur was his pride.

The Paladin Commander saw Arthur so confident and upheld their morale:

[Very good, Arthur, you must ensure the prestige of France resounds in the ancient eastern countries!]

...

In the desert country, Shae, also known as the Ancient Anubis Kingdom.

A simple light purple glowing veil barely wrapped around her body.

An exotic-looking girl, with a striking figure, had her eyes tightly shut, red lips slightly parted, practicing spiritual cultivation.

A pair of healthy, sun-kissed long legs crossed, floating in meditation.

Shua——

Invisible ripples spread through the air, as if an enlarged version of a mature woman magically appeared.

She was the revered [Mother Goddess] of the Ancient Anubis Kingdom, one of only two seventh-tier beings in Shae.

"Lilith, you are the only fourth-tier contestant from our country. After reviewing other countries’ intelligence, what do you think?"

"Mother, I’ve studied the fourth-tier experts from various countries thoroughly. Watching further is pointless, it’s only in battle that true strength is revealed, but I still have confidence."

The Mother Goddess nodded:

"You must protect the honor of Anubis."

Lilith landed on the ground and embraced her mother:

"Mother, I also examined the Three Limits candidates.

In the ancient civilization of the East, there’s a man named Meng Chuan, whose potential is truly astonishing."

"Meng Chuan?"

Lilith nodded:

"Yes, this man is very young, barely in his early twenties, but his combat ability is incredibly powerful, possessing the terrifying feat of slaying same-tier Divine Sons, something I cannot accomplish."

The Mother Goddess reflected beneath her veil-covered eyes, as if recalling something:

"I have reviewed this person’s information long ago. Suddenly enlightened a few years back, he quickly rose to fame, unstoppable, like the mythological [Desert God, Set]."

Lilith smiled and nodded:

"But he doesn’t pose a threat to me, he’s too young and still needs honing.

In this world championship concerning Anubis’s honor, my goal is to hold three, strive for one, and let the world see the advancement of our country’s cultivation methods..."

Almost simultaneously.

The United States, the European Union, Shae, the Bear Country, Goryeo, among others, aside from the self-absorbed Japan.

All countries turned their attention to the world’s center, preparing to welcome this epoch-making Youth World Martial Arts Competition!

...

October 1st, Lishan Mountain’s Huaqing Pool.

A ray of morning sunlight pierced through the mist, illuminating the lush courtyard.

Taoist Qi’s campus villa was still so refreshing and delightful.

In the courtyard.

Meng Chuan stood with feet shoulder-width apart, toe slightly tucked, before the towering Tai Chi pine tree.

Hands held in front of his abdomen, three inches apart, his breathing slow and deep.

While everyone else trained nervously for the competition, he still leisurely practiced the "Old Man’s Fitness Method"...

Taoist Qi, in an indigo robe, with a Tai Chi fish design on the back.

He walked around Meng Chuan, hands behind his back, nodded, and spoke:

"The yin and yang method, guarding breathing, is long yet powerful."

Meng Chuan happened to open his eyes, exhale, and responded:

"Pure energy rises, impure energy descends, mind follows energy, energy sinks to the dantian, combining hardness and softness is the way."

On the side, watching Meng Chuan "swallowing clouds and exhaling fog," Xu Qingfeng showed a look of envy.

Softly asked Taoist Qi who had retreated to the side:

"Master, can I cultivate this method?"

Under Taoist Qi’s careful guidance, Xu Qingfeng now — "Punching through Eight Trigrams, practicing Tai Chi internally."

This powerful breathing method Meng Chuan practiced, he was a Two Limits expert himself, should be able to cultivate it too, right?

But Taoist Qi’s response left him greatly disappointed!
