Feeling the power of the Thunder Leopard, people around began to discuss immediately.

“Gosh, this is the seventh-level demonic beast, Thunder Leopard! It’s extremely formidable and can be called as a master at the final stage of the Combination Realm!”

“Second Princess actually takes the initiative to give up such a powerful demonic beast. She really is a person of integrity.”

“The Dragon Academy will not use demonic beasts. It seems that we have a chance to get the first place this year…”

The first prince said, “You take the initiative to give up such a powerful demonic beast for engaging in exchanging and learning with everyone. This kind of mind is really rare. We should learn from you!”

They didn’t understand why Li Mengyao had done this, but the people of the other academies were extremely happy to lose such a formidable opponent.

Song Tian said, “The Tiger Academy fully supports the proposal of Second Princess. No demonic beasts are allowed to participate in the competition.”

Liu Xiaofu also said with a cold face, “The Rosefinch Academy supports the proposal of Second Princess, too.”

After that, everyone fixed their eyes on the Tortoise Academy.

The Little Witch whispered Qin Haodong’s ear, “Little Brother, that woman is setting you up!”

Only the Tortoise Academy’s students knew what Li Mengyao’s purpose was. She proposed such a rule was to bar the Three-legged Golden Toad of Qin Haodong from the competition.

It should be noted that the Three-legged Golden Toad could completely crush her Thunder Leopard. If she did not send out a master at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm to compete, the Tortoise Academy would be a shoo-in for the championship.

Just because of this, Li Mengyao pretended to act loftily but she tripped the Tortoise Academy up, actually.

Although they had been beaten by the Tortoise Academy, they still had a chance to win the championship. If they defeated the other two academies, and the Tortoise Academy lost the next two rounds, the Dragon Academy would have a chance to win!

Luo Dongqing naturally saw through the conspiracy of the other party and said, “Our Tortoise Academy does not agree. Spirit beasts are also the strength of the students.

“In a battle, if your opponent’s spirit beast is strong, it still can crush you.

“I suggest continuing with the previous rules. There is no need to change.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Tian said sarcastically, “Geezer Luo, what does this have to do with you?

“No matter how we compete, your Tortoise Academy will be in last place at last. If spirit beasts are not allowed to compete, you will not lose so badly.”

Liu Xiaofu said directly, “Since someone doesn’t agree, let’s vote!”

According to the rules of the exchange conference between the four academies, if there were any objections, it would be decided by voting. The four academies could vote, plus the host, a total of five votes. The one with more votes would win.

Li Mengyao looked at Qin Haodong with a proud smile. As long as she mentioned it, it would go her way. She didn’t even need to say more. The result would be confirmed.

Liu Hong said, “In that case, let’s vote. Please raise your hands if you agree.”

After that, he directly raised his right hand. Then, Li Mengyao, Liu Xiaofu, and Song Tian also raised their hands, leaving Luo Dongqing sitting there.

Liu Hong put down his hand and said, “Four votes agree. One vote disagrees. I announce that spirit beasts are not allowed to participate in the competition tomorrow. Otherwise, lose directly.”

The Little Witch said angrily, “Shameless thing. So infuriating!”

Qin Haodong didn’t care and said, “Don’t be angry. We will beat the crap out of them in the competition later.”

He had broken through to the middle stage of the Combination Realm, so he was confident enough now.

Liu Hong said, “The proposal of Second Princess is very good. Do you have any other questions?”

Li Mengyao said again, “I think we should make some changes to the order of the competition. In the previous competitions, the first place versus the fourth place. I don’t think it’s good. The difference in strength between them is too huge. It’s also unfair to the fourth place.

“Thus, I suggest we draw lots to decide who versus who. This also can ensure the fairness of the competition.”

Hearing her words, the Tiger Academy and Rosefinch Academy were overjoyed.

After all, the Tortoise Academy was famous for being weak. Everyone wanted to compete with the Tortoise Academy’s people in the first round, which could keep their strength to the maximum and be conducive to winning the next rounds.

However, according to the previous rules, such a good thing had already been taken away by the Dragon Academy. Now, Li Mengyao took the initiative to give it up. How could they refuse? They certainly agreed with this suggestion.

Tu Jiaojiao whispered in Qin Haodong’s ear, “Junior Brother, this woman is so scheming. In this way, the Dragon Academy’s people will not compete with us in the first competition and can avoid the embarrassment of admitting defeat on the spot.”

Qin Haodong said with a smile, “In fact, it doesn’t matter. Strength always determines the final victory. Sooner or later, they will bow to us and admit defeat.”

After discussing, Li Mengyao’s proposal was adopted again.

The exchange competitions between the Four Kingdoms had been going on for many years. The rules were very reasonable. Two of the rules had been changed in a row, which was a great change. Thus, there were no other changes.

Then, the meeting came to an end after discussing for some more time.

Walking out of the door, the Little Witch said angrily, “Li Mengyao is so hateful. She knew that the Three-legged Golden Toad was powerful, so she banned us from using it.”

Yun Qianqian also said, “It is the most hateful that others think her mind is very high, but we are the ones who actually suffer the most.”

Luo Dongqing said worriedly, “Boy, you are not allowed to use the Three-legged Golden Toad. Are you sure you can win this competition?”

He knew the process of the battle between the Tortoise Academy and the Dragon Academy. It was the Three-legged Golden Toad that made the Tortoise Academy win in the end.

Qin Haodong said, “Don’t worry, Director. The champion of this exchange conference must be Tortoise Academy.

“I’ll help everyone to improve their cultivation when we get back and give the opponents a surprise in the competition tomorrow.”

When they returned to the General Mansion of He Changhai, Niu Cuihua and He Ziwei immediately welcomed him like wives waiting for the husband’s return.

“Hubby, you’ve returned.”

“Young Master, you’ve returned.”

Qin Haodong nodded and said to He Ziwei, “Can we have a quiet room for cultivating?”

He Ziwei replied, “No problem.”

There were many quiet rooms in the General Mansion. He Ziwei chose the largest one and led them in.

Qin Haodong asked everyone to sit here and prepare themselves. Then, he went back to his room and started to refine Dragon Power Pills.

He had reached the stage of the Combination Realm, so he no longer needed to take the Energy Explosion Pill for refining the Dragon Power Pills. Soon, he took the pills back to the quiet room.

At the same time, he called over Niu Cuihua and He Ziwei.

Except Niu Cuihua, who had reached the stage of the Grand Completion Realm, Qin Haodong gave each girl a Dragon Power Pill and let these girls take them to improve their cultivation.

The Dragon Power Pill required dragon saliva as the main ingredient and a seventh-level alchemist, so it was rarely seen in the Lingwu Continent.

It could improve a cultivator at the stage of the Combination Realm by one level. However, the time interval between taking two pills had to exceed one month. Otherwise, it would be ineffective.

It had been more than a month since Tu Jiaojiao, Murong Jinghong, and the rest had swallowed the Dragon Power Pills, so there was no problem for them to take the Dragon Power Pills again.

Usually, if a cultivator quickly improved the cultivation, it was easy to cause inner demon and Qi Deviation.

Not long after taking the Dragon Power Pills, these girls began to hallucinate one after another. Some smiled, some looked fear and some even shouted loudly.

Only He Ziwei, who swallowed the Dragon Power Pill for the first time, didn’t seem to have any untoward effect.

Although Niu Cuihua had lost her memory, she still knew the basic knowledge of martial arts. She hurriedly said, “It’s easy to cause Qi Deviation if you help them improve their cultivation in this way. You must stop them as soon as possible.”

“Rest assured. I’m prepared.” Qin Haodong said and took out the Demon-vanquishing Wand with a thought.

After taking out the wand, he gently shook it and then the 12 golden rings clanged.

Like the sound of Buddha, it was incomparably pleasing to the ear. At the same time, it also calmed the mind. The inner demon that had been bothering everyone instantly disappeared.

After the disappearance of the inner demon, Tu Jiaojiao and the others calmed down slowly. The Genuine Qi in their bodies became stronger and stronger. They began to break through the next bottleneck.

Niu Cuihua asked in surprise, “Hubby, what is this? How can it have such a magical effect?”

Qin Haodong said, “It is a treasure I have come into by chance.”

He didn’t say much. That was because he had an ambivalent attitude towards Niu Cuihua. He trusted her, but he was also afraid that she would become his enemy after she regained her memory.

Time passed. He Ziwei was the first to break through to the middle stage of the Combination Realm, followed by Tu Jiaojiao and Murong Jinghong.

According to Qin Haodong’s instructions, they were not in a hurry to get up. Instead, they sat there and continued to stabilize their cultivation.

Among them, Yun Qianqian and Fang Qiong’er were the weakest. It took them the longest time to reach the early stage of the Combination Realm from the final stage of the Voiding Realm.

When they broke through the bottleneck of the Combination Realm, Qin Haodong gave each of them a Dragon Power Pill again and softly said, “Don’t stop. Go on to break through to the next level.”

Generally speaking, after breaking through a big level, one had to stabilize the cultivation and wait for a period of time to break through again.

Out of the trust in Qin Haodong, the two girls did not hesitate at all. They transferred the Genuine Qi in their bodies again and began to break through the bottleneck of the middle stage of the Combination Realm.

Qin Haodong turned to Niu Cuihua and said, “Please help me. Let’s make them go further.”

When he was in the Cultivation World, he had obtained a method that could help the people improve their cultivation at the early stage of the Combination Realm. But this method could only be used when he reached the stage of the Grand Completion Realm.

His current cultivation was not high enough, so he had to rely on the help of Niu Cuihua.

According to the order of Qin Haodong, Niu Cuihua pressed her right hand on his Mingmen acupoint and then slowly transferred the Genuine Qi in her body to Qin Haodong.

Qin Haodong was already a cultivator at the stage of the Tribulation Realm, so there was no limit in his cultivation. When he got the Genuine Qi from Niu Cuihua, his cultivation improved rapidly. He soon reached the stage of the Grand Completion Realm.

He took a deep breath, pressed his right hand on Yun Qianqian’s Dantian, and began to use Green Wood Genuine Qi to help her breakthrough.

The Green Wood Genuine Qi was extremely powerful. At the same time, it nourished the body and expanded the meridians.

After the Green Wood Genuine Qi entered Yun Qianqian’s body, it was like a vanguard that swiftly pierced through her meridians and led Yun Qianqian’s Genuine Qi to make a breakthrough.

About half an hour later, the momentum of Yun Qianqian suddenly rose. A loud bang sounded in her mind. Her cultivation had broken through the threshold of the middle stage of the Combination Realm.

Qin Haodong took a deep breath. Then, he turned to Niu Cuihua and said, “Can you hold on?”

The transmission of cultivation consumed a lot of Genuine Vitality. However, Niu Cuihua still said, “No problem. I can still hold on.”

At this time, Qin Haodong was the god in her heart. As long as he asked her to do something, she would do it without hesitation.

Qin Haodong adjusted his Genuine Vitality and then pointed his right index finger at Fang Qiong’er’s Dantian.

Another half-hour passed. Fang Qiong’er broke through to the middle stage of the Combination Realm successfully.

After improving the two girls’ cultivation in succession, the consumption of Niu Cuihua and Qin Haodong was great. They sat side by side on the ground and began to run their Genuine Qi to restore their cultivation.

The next morning, Qin Haodong and the others finished their cultivation. Except Niu Cuihua, everyone had reached the middle stage of the Combination Realm.
