A week passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the elimination match in Territory City had already gone through half of its duration.

Meanwhile, Wang Xiaoqiang had been in seclusion for a week, cultivating in a cave without capturing a single criminal's head.

On this day...

In the afternoon, Wang Xiaoqiang, who was meditating and cultivating, suddenly felt the Immortal Liquid within him rise to an unprecedented height, shattering like a boiling pot, as if waves of water were angrily surging...

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three consecutive booms resounded, then everything returned to calm, like rivers flowing into the sea, quietly flowing.

The difference was that now the Immortal Liquid within him was one layer thicker than before, slowly flowing through his flesh, limbs, and bones, continuously nourishing his body.

Wang Xiaoqiang let out a long breath as he changed from sitting to lying down.

Lying on the ground, his body felt incredibly comfortable, as if every cell in his body was breathing in oxygen.

At this moment, he had already broken through the Great Luo Golden Immortal Second Liquid Realm and stepped into the Great Luo Golden Immortal Third Liquid Realm.

At the Great Luo Golden Immortal Third Liquid Realm, the Immortal Liquid within him, amid raging surges, could emit three resounding echoes.

"Finally broke through!"

After a while, Wang Xiaoqiang opened his eyes, a gleam flashing through them, his heart brimming with joy,

At this moment, he had successfully completed the first step of his plan.

His plan was this: use a week to advance to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Third Liquid Realm, and with the remaining week, strive to compete, capturing criminal heads, aiming to enter the top hundred, and successfully advancing to the second round, the "Realm Capital Elimination Match."

The reason for such a plan was that Wang Xiaoqiang believed elimination matches differed from ranking matches,

In ranking matches, naturally, the higher the rank, the better, and if it were a ranking match, Wang Xiaoqiang would aim for the first place,

But in elimination matches, there were no rankings; only entering the top hundred mattered, so whether you're first or hundredth, you could enter the second round without any difference,

Thus, no need for excessive effort; with this time, it's better to elevate the cultivation base by one level.

Moreover, sharpening the axe doesn't delay the cutting of wood; elevating the cultivation base by one level significantly enhances strength, making it much easier to slay criminals.

Additionally, in this Beast Corpse Mountain Range, Wang Xiaoqiang had four enemies who intended to use this match opportunity to end his life,

Two of these enemies had overly strong cultivation strengths, namely King of Eastern Mountain and Purple Sun Immortal,

Previously, when Wang Xiaoqiang was at the Great Luo Golden Immortal First Liquid Realm, he could barely tie with Purple Sun Immortal. Now, having advanced to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Third Liquid Realm, he should be able to defeat Purple Sun Immortal,

Moreover, at the Great Luo Golden Immortal First Liquid Realm, he self-assessed he wasn't King of Eastern Mountain's match, continually worrying about this.

Now, if he encounters King of Eastern Mountain again, he believes he could put up a fight if not defeated but could easily escape.

Using this week for cultivation had another reason, which was that the tournament's deadline is half a month, inevitably differing from start to end.

The first week must be the most brutal week of the tournament; beast corpses, zombies, and exiled criminals would engage in fierce battles with participants during this first week,

During this week, it's often a laborious struggle with little benefit,

After a week, both sides suffer injuries, by which time not only the number and strength of beast corpses, zombies, and criminals are greatly reduced, but the strength and number of participants are also greatly reduced,

Venturing out then, one becomes the one who reaps where others have sown, making it relatively easier to capture criminal heads or confront beast corpses and zombies.

What's more, in the remaining week, those with fewer captures might attack those with more, as the competition's rules do not explicitly prohibit mutual slaughter, leading to tragedies like killing for treasure.

But at this time, it's not just treasure that is captured, but criminal heads.

Wang Xiaoqiang had participated in the Armor Snatching Tournament in the Immortal Realm and was well-versed in the intricacies.

Of course, Wang Xiaoqiang wouldn't actively harm others, but it didn't mean others wouldn't harm him, especially since he had four enemies. Should he encounter one, slaying them would secure all his week-long captures.

In that case, there's no need to painstakingly search and slay criminals one by one; it would be a one-time and permanent solution.

Resting for a while, as night approached, nighttime saw frequent appearances of beast corpses and zombies, when their strength was strongest. Wang Xiaoqiang didn't want to invite bad luck,

So that night, he decided not to go out; with a single thought, the Patterned Beast left the cave, retrieving some beasts from outside. Wang Xiaoqiang started barbecuing,

He had been busy cultivating for a week without a single meal, and it was time to replenish.

However, unexpectedly, the aroma from his barbecue attracted the attention of two participants.

"Hmm? So fragrant; someone is barbecuing?"

"It's a cultivator at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Third Liquid Realm."

"Let's go over and take a look,"

These two participants exchanged a sinister glance filled with killing intent, saying this as they flew towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

They wore the attire of the Spring and Autumn Sect, but they weren't the pair of siblings Wang Xiaoqiang encountered at the Heavenly Abode Tower; instead, they were two male disciples, one with a cultivation of Great Luo Golden Immortal Fifth Liquid Realm, the other at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Sixth Liquid Realm. These two were lucky; after being scattered by the teleportation array, they met again in the Beast Corpse Mountain Range, teamed up to slay criminals, achieving significant captures in a week.

Detecting their approach, the Patterned Beast let out a roar of warning.

Wang Xiaoqiang's face changed; his Divine Sense was released immediately, and the figures and cultivation of the two Spring and Autumn Sect male disciples instantly came into view.

Seeing their cultivation, Wang Xiaoqiang relaxed and smiled. With a thought, he withdrew the Patterned Beast.

Then, he placed a roasted beast leg in his mouth and began devouring it, not forgetting to take out wine to drink.

Eating meat and drinking wine in huge gulps!

When the two male disciples from the Spring and Autumn Sect approached, they saw this scene. Instantly, their mouths began to water, struggling to swallow their saliva. The two of them exchanged a glance, sharing a look, before landing in front of Wang Xiaoqiang.

"Yo ho, there's wine and meat. Brother, you've got good fortune!"

"Hehe, of course. After filling my stomach properly, I can go slay criminals..." Wang Xiaoqiang chuckled, appearing innocently friendly, seemingly without a hint of vigilance or defense.

"Hmm? This person seems..." One of the male disciples muttered under his breath, staring at Wang Xiaoqiang.

"Really seems!" The other disciple also muttered quietly,

Before entering the Beast Corpse Mountain Range, their fellow sect siblings had shown them a portrait of Wang Xiaoqiang, saying they were humiliated by him. If encountered in the Beast Corpse Mountain Range, they mustn't be lenient and must ensure his demise. Hence, upon seeing Wang Xiaoqiang, they roughly recognized him. (To be continued.
