…..

Lu Zheng sighed with emotion as he checked his Battle Points. He was already nearing the twenty thousand Battle Points that he needed to enter the Gate of Life and Death.

Over the course of the nine months, he had cultivated bitterly and fought relentlessly. He did not even attempt to spend his Battle Points.

"Ah? It seems the match against Su Haoran is next" Lu Zheng muttered as he walked out of the arena.

Su Haoran had challenged Lu Zheng publicly to a fight. In the Battle Arena, one couldn't decline challenges unless they paid a certain amount of Battle Points. For this reason, Lu Zheng agreed.

Zuo Xiuzhen walked over to Lu Zheng: "You've become stronger"

"Hmm" Lu Zheng smiled. "Zuo Xiuzhen, can you follow me somewhere?"

"Where is that?" Zuo Xiuzhen asked.

"I need your protection. I am about to breakthrough" Lu Zheng replied.

"What?" Zuo Xiuzhen was surprised. She knew Lu Zheng was at the peak of Void Passage realm but she never expected him to breakthrough to the Acquisition realm so soon.

If she knew Lu Zheng was only in his late twenties, she might even faint from shock.

Lu Zheng flew with Zuo Xiuzhen to a secluded place in the Yama Battlefield.

Under her watchful gaze, Lu Zheng sat mid-air with his legs crossed and eyes closed.

Seven rank one Spirit Grade formation plate artifacts flew from his spatial ring and arranged themselves around Lu Zheng. The Qi Gathering Formation was inscribed inside them.

Lu Zheng had casually drawn them. They were extremely simple and only had thirteen lines. The Qi Gathering Formation was like a whirlpool of lines when viewed altogether.

A few vital stones appeared on the rank one Spirit Grade formation plate artifacts. Soon, the ambient Qi from Yama Battlefield was drawn to the space within the seven rank one Spirit Grade formation plate artifacts.

The Qi was so dense that Lu Zheng felt like he was in a pool of Qi and could barely move his body.

~Inscribing the Qi Gathering Formation with Primordial Spirit Veins is better than I expected. That is good~

Lu Zheng's psyche sunk into his aperture. The grand Qi tree stood majestically at its centre. It had seventeen leaves the size of a grown adult which were a deep verdant green.

Two fruits the size of an adult's head hung from the Qi tree. One was fragmented, its form appearing and disappearing like a phantom that should not even exist. The other one was colourless and simply hung from the Qi tree. It was completely empty.

The Qi in Lu Zheng's Qi leaves suddenly rushed frantically into the empty Qi fruit. The seventeen Qi leaves that were filled to the very brim with Qi soon began to lose their vitality.

The Qi in Lu Zheng's body left his control and rapidly entered the Qi fruit till it was filled. Even so, the Qi continued to rush.

Lu Zheng groaned as he forced the excess Qi out of his body. The Qi resonated with the ambient Qi and dark clouds soon gathered.

Thunder boomed and purple lightning snaked through the dark clouds. Lu Zheng was about to undergo purple lightning tribulation!

…..

In the sky above Yama Battlefield, two men flew quietly. Their gazes were focused on their surroundings. One was very thin and tall and radiated a simple aura, feeling very ordinary. The other man beside him was a short, chubby man with a sharp gaze.

"Louis, do you think this Lu Zheng will ever leave the Battle Arena?" The chubby man broke the silence.

"I doubt he would stay in there forever. He shouldn't know that we are looking for him" Louis replied before his expression changed.

"What is the matter?" The chubby man was very perceptive and noticed the change immediately.

"Brian, today is the day! That bastard finally came out" Louis laughed before vanishing from the spot, leaving Brian behind.

"Really?" Brian was stunned. "Wait for me!"
