Li Cunxu was astonished, "To actually give this as a gift, that's a bit overly generous."

The Five-Origin Spirit Stone, also known as the 'Spirit Vein Machine', will continuously generate spirit veins as long as conditions are met, and there is no limit.

As for the Five Elements Source Stones, which meet its conditions, Li Cunxu had already obtained them from the elemental challenges he had designed earlier.

Sinking River, obtained the Water Origin Stone.

Quiet Forest, obtained the Wood Origin Stone.

...

Shen Wujiu looked at the Five-Origin Spirit Stone, turned his back to the live broadcast, and a disdainful expression appeared on his face.

Some people like the Five-Origin Spirit Stone, while others disdain it.

The Five-Origin Spirit Stone also has a drawback: it generates spirit veins too slowly. In over a year, it only generates a small spirit vein.

Only those who live long can harness the value of embedding the Five-Origin Spirit Stone.

The Gold Trial ended.

As the seventh checkpoint passer, Li Cunxu's participation in the Gold Tournament was a certainty.

Li Cunxu returned to his room and embedded the Five Elements Source Stones and the Five-Origin Spirit Stone.

The Five Elements Source Stones are five in number, and each requires three bearing points, totaling fifteen bearing points.

The cornerstone dice rolled all ones, rolled five times, saving five points.

When embedding the Five-Origin Spirit Stone, the cornerstone dice rolled three points.

Embedding the Five Elements Source Stones and the Five-Origin Spirit Stone together requires thirty bearing points in total, but with the rolls of five ones and one three, the cornerstone dice saved Li Cunxu eight bearing points.

Originally, the wondrous items were supposed to take up thirty bearing points, but they ended up only taking twenty-two points.

[Bearing Points: 53]

...

The Gold Tournament, first round began.

Li Cunxu's opponent in this round was quite interesting, a representative from his own family, named Li Shengxin.

This counted as an internal conflict, which Li Cunxu didn't like much.

Li Shengxin, however, beamed with joy, thinking that facing Li Cunxu was like getting a free win.

At the start, both sides took their positions.

Li Shengxin shouted, "Little brother, you are not my opponent, surrender now, come back next year."

Even though he thought victory was assured, Li Shengxin still wanted to end the match simply and save more energy for the next battle.

Li Cunxu ignored him and instead looked at the referee.

Li Cunxu had encountered such mysteriously overconfident opponents many times before and knew how to handle them.

First, don't pay attention to him, responding would only be to tell him, 'I'm strong'.

Would the opponent believe it?

Clearly not.

Why waste words when he can prove it with strength in battle?

The referee said, "Please summon your respective beasts."

A Holy Lotus Armored Flood Dragon and a Blood Lotus Carp appeared in the arena.

Li Shengxin burst into laughter, "Little brother, you're going to make your big brother laugh to death. You're using a Blood Lotus Carp to fight my Holy Lotus Armored Flood Dragon, and it's Silver against Gold."

"I'm serious, you should admit defeat and save face."

Seeing that Li Cunxu still did not respond made Li Shengxin a bit irate.

The referee said, "The battle begins."

Li Shengxin shouted, "Holy Lotus Armored Flood Dragon, take it down immediately."

The Holy Lotus Armored Flood Dragon's Holy Dragon Claw descended, and to Li Shengxin's surprise, the Blood Lotus Carp's constant light armor blocked it.

Li Cunxu said, "Salty Fish Thrust."

The Blood Lotus Carp suddenly thrust forward, revealing the constant light armor protecting the body of the Holy Lotus Armored Flood Dragon. Immediately after, the Blood Lotus Carp crashed through the constant light armor as if it was a wall of tofu.

The Holy Lotus Armored Flood Dragon, heavily hit, flew far and landed at Li Shengxin's feet.

This scene left Li Shengxin stunned.

The Holy Lotus Armored Flood Dragon hit the Blood Lotus Carp, which blocked it; then the Blood Lotus Carp hit back, breaking through the Holy Lotus Armored Flood Dragon's defense in one shot.

Is this some kind of reverse logic?

Who is Gold, and who is Silver, really?

Li Cunxu whispered, "Blood Lotus Carp, follow up with another strike."

The Salty Fish Thrust reappeared.

Li Shengxin shouted, "Holy Lotus Shield."

A large, thick Holy Lotus Shield appeared before the Holy Lotus Armored Flood Dragon, but then the Blood Lotus Carp once again crashed through it like breaking through tofu.

The Holy Lotus Armored Flood Dragon flew backward once more.

Li Shengxin still couldn't believe that it was his own pet beast, the Holy Lotus Armored Flood Dragon, being knocked away.

"How can the Lotus Carp overpower the Lotus Armored Flood Dragon, how can Silver overpower Gold, it's not logical."

As the Blood Lotus Carp's Salty Fish Thrust came flying again, the Holy Lotus Armored Flood Dragon no longer took the hit head-on and instead frantically dodged.

"I can't let this continue any longer," Li Shengxin thought to himself.

If this goes on, the Holy Lotus Armored Flood Dragon will be defeated by the Salty Fish Thrust.

Being defeated by a lower evolutionary form and a lower grade Blood Lotus Carp was already embarrassing, but being defeated by such a common skill as the Salty Fish Thrust would leave him no face to show others.

Li Shengxin's eyes transformed into two pure Holy Lotuses, connecting his pupil power to the Holy Lotus Armored Flood Dragon.

"Holy Lotus Combination Skill, Holy Lotus Armament - Holy Lotus Celestial Sword."

A golden sacred sword with lotus patterns was drawn from the Holy Lotus Armored Flood Dragon's belly.

Holding the Holy Sword, the Holy Lotus Armored Flood Dragon's aura soared, its power rising several levels.

The Holy Lotus Combination Skill is an advanced application of the Holy Lotus Eye, allowing pupil power to manifest into weapons, enhancing the Holy Lotus Armored Flood Dragon's strength.

Li Cunxu squinted slightly, feeling a bit less aligned with the Holy Lotus Family.

The Holy Lotus Combination Skill, his Blood Lotus Eye could learn it, could use it too, yet the Holy Lotus Family never mentioned it, clearly not wanting him to learn it.

"Holy Lotus Radiance Slash."

The sword blade slashed through the air, leaving streaks of radiant traces.

Li Shengxin said, "Dragon Breath Cannon, double-barreled."

While wielding the Holy Lotus Celestial Sword, the Holy Lotus Armored Flood Dragon also spat Dragon Breath Cannon enhanced with holy light attributes, raising dust clouds. Where the Blood Lotus Carp was bombed, a small mushroom of smoke slowly rose.

After a while, Li Shengxin was puzzled; after so long, the protective Deathless White Light of the Blood Lotus Carp should have shattered, ending this battle, yet it hadn't.

Not broken, indicating the Blood Lotus Carp was not in life-threatening danger, no big issues.

"Continue, continue until its Deathless White Light shatters."

...

Instead of waiting for the Deathless White Light of the Blood Lotus Carp, Li Shengxin witnessed the shattering of the Holy Lotus Celestial Sword.

With a crack, the Holy Lotus Celestial Sword shattered into points of light.

The maintenance of the Holy Lotus Celestial Sword entirely relied on Li Shengxin's pupil power, and being merely Gold, Li Shengxin's persistence until now was already commendable.

Without the Holy Lotus Celestial Sword, the Holy Lotus Armored Flood Dragon's aura plummeted.

From within the mushroom cloud of smoke, the Blood Lotus Carp emerged again with its Salty Fish Thrust, slamming into the Holy Lotus Armored Flood Dragon's belly, shattering its protective Deathless White Light.

Ultimately, the Holy Lotus Armored Flood Dragon was still defeated by the Salty Fish Thrust.

Seeing the completely unscathed Blood Lotus Carp, Li Shengxin couldn't believe it, "How are you not injured?"

The Holy Lotus Armored Flood Dragon used the Holy Lotus Celestial Sword and Dragon Breath Cannon, a mixed double hit for a long time, yet the Blood Lotus Carp was unscathed.

The Blood Lotus Carp glanced at Li Shengxin as if to say, "You haven't even broken my basic dragon scale defense, of course I'm unharmed."

It took Li Shengxin a while to accept the defeat of the Holy Lotus Armored Flood Dragon and, urged by the referee, he summoned his second pet beast, the Saint Heart Monkey, a heroic monkey with a golden rod and golden fur.

The Saint Heart Monkey is an exclusive sacred beast of the Saint Lotus Li Family, second only to the Holy Lotus Carp clan in the Saint Lotus Li Family.
