The next morning, Yecheng Arena!

Today is the opening day of the national competition, and nearly 2,000 contestants are sitting on the players' seats more casually.

Li Changsheng and Ning Bizhen were at the front, and next to him were Miao Yinjian and Shen Haofei.

Both of them are fifth-order demon masters, their luck is very bad, if they were placed in the past, with their strength, they have a chance to compete for the top four places in the national competition.

It's a pity that there are a total of five pseudo-kings in this year's session, and unless the sun comes out of the west, they don't have any hope at all, even the quarterfinals feel very hanging.

Although it was only the opening ceremony of the national competition, the Yecheng Arena was still crowded, and there were still many spectators outside the stadium who had not purchased tickets.

The composition of these audiences is more complicated, less than 1/4 of the people in Yecheng are close to the water, and most of the rest are audiences from all over the country, as well as a small number of foreigners.

At this time, Li Changsheng suddenly transmitted to Shen Haofei: "Brother Shen, do you still want the essence blood of the hydra?"

Shen Haofei was slightly stunned, with a surprised expression in his eyes, and after reacting, he hurriedly replied to Li Changsheng: "Yes, how many Brother Li are there this time?"

As long as the eight-headed snake can evolve into a hydra, his strength can be improved by a bit, and if he is lucky, he may even improve his quality.

The eight-headed snake and the hydra are two concepts, although the racial difference between the two is not large, but the eight-headed snake is far inferior to the nine-headed snake in terms of recovery speed, and it is more than a notch worse.

"Three cans!"

Last year, when Li Changsheng killed the demon king-level black dragon Hari Kuqi, he killed a hydra dependents by the way, and purified three jars of hydra essence blood from it.

"What does Brother Li need?"

When questioning, Shen Haofei subconsciously remembered the list of items that Li Changsheng had shown him before.

"Cangxuan Dingdi Pearl, Wutu Essence, Sanguang Divine Water, Stygian Moon Lotus ......" seemed to be endorsing, and Li Changsheng read the names of dozens of items.

The more Shen Haofei listened, the more ugly his face became, he really didn't want to listen to it, but he couldn't help but listen for the sake of the hydra's essence blood.

It's very obedient, dozens of treasures that are at the essence level of heaven and earth at every turn, and there are nearly ten kinds of heaven and earth treasures.

Even if you sell me, I won't be able to make up a few.

Shen Haofei said in embarrassment: "I only have one Heavenly Spirit Fruit!"

The Heavenly Spirit Fruit can open the second treasure space, although it is relatively rare, but it is worth only five thousand soul crystals, which does not match the three jars of hydra essence blood at all.

Li Changsheng didn't speak, quietly waiting for Shen Haofei's next words.

Shen Haofei paused, but still stubbornly said: "However, my dad has a piece of Kunlun Tianmang Gold in his hand, but it is ...... in value."

Even among the rare ores of heaven and earth, Kunlun Tianmangjin is also ranked at the top, and its value is more than three cans of hydra essence blood.

This is also an item on Li Changsheng's list, mainly to repair the mixed yuan golden lamp.

Due to the serious damage of the mixed yuan golden lamp, according to Li Changsheng's idea, if you want to better repair the mixed yuan golden lamp, in addition to Kunlun Tianmang gold, you also need another treasure called the mixed yuan five-color stone.

If that doesn't work, you can settle for the next best thing, but it's a last resort.

"I can add another bloodline potion to assist in breaking through the lord level, and your Heavenly Spirit Fruit can be used as an additive. ”

"Yes, yes, but can you get it on credit? When the national competition is over, I'll give you Kunlun Tianmangjin, what do you think?"

Shen Haofei stared at Li Changsheng nervously, for fear that the other party would refuse.

If he got three cans of Hydra Essence Blood and Blood Elixir in advance, he believed that his strength could go further, and his hopes of advancing to the quarterfinals were even greater.

Li Changsheng thought for a while and said, "Yes, we'll trade later." ”

He was not afraid that Shen Haofei would regret it, after all, with his current strength, the Shen clan would not be able to stop him at all.

"Thank you, Brother Li, for your success!"

Shen Haofei couldn't help but be overjoyed, his face was filled with a smile that couldn't be concealed, and Miao Yin on the side was puzzled.

Li Changsheng also wanted to trade with Miao Yin, but he really didn't have the right trading chips in his hands.

Knock knock~

At nine o'clock, a majestic bell rang in the venue.

After hearing the bell, the hearts of everyone present seemed to be soothed by a magical force, and they subconsciously immersed themselves in this atmosphere, and the originally noisy and abnormal venue was suddenly quiet.

At the same time, Dou Changsheng, who was wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe, came to the stands.

Like the University Exchange Competition, the National Competition was also presided over by Dou Changsheng, the Emperor of Langya.

It's just that compared with more than three months ago, Dou Changsheng is full of spirits, he looks much younger, and his aura is obviously beyond the scope of a pseudo-king.

"King!"

Li Changsheng's expression was awe-inspiring, he knew that Dou Changsheng was only one step away from the king, but he didn't expect him to become the king at this time.

This is definitely not a good thing for him!

The Langya royal family has an unwritten rule that the current emperor, after becoming king, must appoint a crown prince within three months and complete the transfer of power within one year.

Dou Changsheng's promotion to the king disrupted Li Changsheng's plan, and if such a thing happened, even if Li Changsheng publicly supported the eldest prince Dou Yuande, I am afraid that it would be difficult to overpower Dou Yuanbin.

There is no way, Dou Yuanbin himself is a pseudo-king, whether it is strength, prestige or influence, he is far more than the prince, not to mention that he has the support of the Langya Liu family, the mother clan and a cadre of ministers behind him.

Unless the eldest prince Dou Yuande becomes a pseudo-king in the short term, there is really little hope, but this requires a lot of precious resources.

Taking a step back, even if Dou Yuande becomes a pseudo-king, his hope of succeeding to the throne is at most thirty percent.

"If there is no accident, that breath yesterday must have been caused by Dou Changsheng's breakthrough!"

Li Changsheng was MMP in his heart, but he was silent on the surface, thinking about a strategy in his heart.

After becoming the king, Dou Changsheng's upper limit of lifespan will break through the upper limit of human beings, reaching more than two hundred years old.

At the same time, Dou Changsheng will also open up his own secret realm.

The secret realm can not only be used to raise goblins, plant spirit plants, and develop minerals, but also strengthen the combat power of demon pets, which is equivalent to a powerful buff, which is why the strength of the king is far above that of the pseudo-king.

Li Changsheng thought about it for a while, for the sake of today's plan, he could only try to suppress Dou Yuanbin's momentum in the national competition.

At this time, Dou Changsheng exhaled, his voice contained majesty, and began to give an impassioned speech.

Dou Changsheng first reviewed the history of the national competition, and focused on the previous champions, all of whom had one thing in common, that is, they all became kings in the end, including the 'Butterfly King' Luo Qingning and the 'Yan King' Qin Mingqing.

Dou Changsheng didn't talk much nonsense, and it took only a few minutes to announce the official start of the national competition.

Most of the contestants did not leave the bench because the next part was the qualifying round.

Qualifiers, also known as wheel races, are played after the first round, and there is not much time between them to move on to the second round, the third round, and so on until they advance to the knockout round.

There are a total of sixty-four places in the knockout round, and since there are as many as forty-four fifth-order and above demon masters who directly advance to the knockout round this time, nearly 2,000 players can only compete for the remaining twenty knockout places.

Even if you keep winning, you have to win at least six games in a row, which can be said to be quite a cruel format.

Unless you are extremely lucky, you can advance to the knockout round through the qualifying round, which is undoubtedly the elite of the elite, and often has the ability to challenge beyond the ranks.

It's a pity that even if they cross the ranks, they can only compete with the fifth-order demon masters, but they have no threat to Li Changsheng and Ning Bizhen.

As a result, neither of them had the idea of watching the qualifiers and prepared to return to the players' village.

Not far away, Dou Yuanbin and Liu Xuguang stayed together.

Liu Xuguang couldn't help asking, "Brother Dou, how did that matter go?"

"Don't worry, he'll be in a group with me!"

Dou Yuanbin showed a hideous smile and stared viciously at the backs of Li Changsheng and Ning Bizhen who were about to disappear.

More than three months ago, Liu Xuguang gave him two suggestions, one was to acquire the Star Fruit and Star Essence to avoid Li Changsheng from advancing to the sixth order or even a pseudo-king.

The second is to use the dark box operation to put Li Changsheng and Dou Yuanbin or Liu Xuguang in the same group, and not give him a chance to advance to the semifinals.

In order to achieve this goal, Dou Yuanbin really spent a lot of money, and even took advantage of favors.

"However, even if he is still a fifth-order, he still has the strength to threaten us, and I hope that Brother Dou will be more cautious when the time comes. ”

For Liu Xuguang's reminder, Dou Yuanbin didn't take it as a deaf ear, there was no way, Li Changsheng was too demonic, he was able to defeat Dou Yuanhua more than three months ago, and now even if he doesn't advance, his strength will definitely be stronger.

It's a pity that what the two don't know is that Li Changsheng became a pseudo-king more than three months ago, and Dou Yuanbin not only did it meaningless, but instead dug a pit and buried himself.

It's a pretty sassy operation!

After returning to the small courtyard of the player's village, Li Changsheng summoned Kailan and the crowned flame bird.

There were two Heavenly Spirit Fruits in his hands, one was Shen Haofei's, and the other was the item that the Great Prince Dou Yuande's subordinates had just brought to him.

Regarding the list of items handed over to him by Li Changsheng, Dou Yuande can be said to have spared no effort, and he has really collected a lot for him during this time.

Soon, Kailan and the Crowned Flame Bird each absorbed a Heavenly Spirit Fruit and opened the second treasure space.

Li Changsheng had the Crowned Flame Bird carry the demigod Jar of the Fire Phoenix and the Wrath of the Red Dragon, while Kailan was the Crown of Thorns and the Bracers of Jumang.

Jumang Bracer: A top-level wood-based treasure, made of Jumang's feathers and dozens of accessories, which can increase the power of sixty percent of wood-based skills, with an absorption effect.

The absorption effect can automatically absorb a certain range of life energy, and will automatically recover a certain amount of injuries and physical strength every short time.

In this way, Li Changsheng's strength has improved to a certain extent, and he can be said to be full of confidence in the next national competition.
