These days, pieces of ethereal dragon bones have appeared in key locations across Kyoto. They seem to be just slightly off the ground and not very high, but they give people a strange feeling of being in the clouds, out of reach...
These dragon bones are hideous, with sharp edges and corners, and there is golden light floating around them, making them seem even more mysterious.
As time went by, dragon bones appeared in front of the residences of the major families in Kyoto. More and more dragon bones were scattered at the beginning, and gradually they were connected into two separate "roads" on the left and right.
This is Panlong Road!
All the dragon bones floating in front of the gates of the noble families were three times larger than the other dragon bones, and were wrapped in golden light with only one opening, which looked like a competition arena. With the appearance of this kind of dragon bone, the major noble families sent their own proud children to sit in this "arena", which was a way to achieve twice the result with half the effort in the Panlong Road and a means to cultivate their hopes.
Two completely different dragon bone roads stretched out in a winding manner. One after another, the proud sons of heaven who were usually invisible sat on them and acted as "defenders". The prelude to the Panlong decisive battle was slowly opening...
Every day, new news came out, and sometimes there would be news that a genius had made a breakthrough while waiting on the Panlong Road. This scene made many old people feel very happy, thinking that the geniuses of this year were much stronger than those of previous years. Some gambling houses even started to bet on whether the third Panlong decisive battle would produce a dark horse that would make the two decisive battlers "fail", attracting a large number of gamblers to place bets...
On this day, Panlong Road was basically formed, and then... Chu He came out of seclusion.
He successfully broke through to the realm of enlightenment!
Nine elements to refine the body, perfect marrow cleansing!
This news spread throughout Kyoto like wings, and almost everyone who heard the news immediately thought of three words - Impossible!
It should be noted that Chu He had just advanced to the Mingyuan Upper Realm not long ago. How could he have broken through to the Tongxuan Realm in such a short time? A 17-year-old Tongxuan Realm expert? That was too shocking...
Of course, many people who knew Chu He's past achievements and miracles had thought that Chu He could successfully advance, but even they believed that Chu He was forced by Chu Tianxiao. He had no choice but to use some secret methods and spend some price to forcibly break through the realm. This kind of forcing things to happen may very likely affect his future path.
Well, they could accept this statement, and for this reason, many children of the Divine Marquis families gloated over the misfortune...
But now... the news that came out was like a slap in their face!
Chu He... could he actually create miracles even at this time
Many people simply couldn't believe it, but when the news was confirmed, public opinion in Kyoto changed all of a sudden.
The most direct and fastest thing that happened was that all the bets on whether Chu He would be defeated by the "dark horse" became one-sided, with the odds extremely high. It was confirmed that the top talents that Chu He would encounter on the Panlong Road, who were "generally optimistic" at the time, no longer had the popularity they had in the past and were ruthlessly abandoned by the gamblers; all the bets on the "dark horse" defeating the finalists were all aimed at Chu Tianxiao, and the bet on who would win the final battle between the two sides was needless to say... Except for his staunch supporters in the Chu family and a few friendly families, no one was willing to bet a spiritual coin on Chu Tianxiao. Instead, many bets that Chu He could defeat Chu Tianxiao in a few moves popped up like mushrooms after rain...
The public opinion in Kyoto showed an extremely obvious one-sided trend. Even Chu He's forces, which had fallen to the freezing point, had some momentum returning. It was as if people suddenly remembered the invincible Chu He...
No one was optimistic about Chu Tianxiao anymore, and many mocking voices began to be heard, especially since Chu Tianxiao had been blocking the Young Master's Building for so many days without any movement... This made it easier for people to imagine.
"Come to think of it, I have a relative who works as a servant in the Chu family. He saw that there was no spiritual energy fluctuation in the young master's building! Could it be that... he failed to break through?"
"I don't know, but I think it's not going well. Or maybe... what kind of martial arts is that prodigal son studying? Taoism?"
"Stop it. What can make up for this gap? That's Chu He! How can his Tongxuan realm be compared to others? Chu Tianxiao's only hope of defeating him is that Chu He fails to break through the realm, but he succeeded, so is there anything else to say? Chu He will win. Let's go to the casino quickly and make some money."
"Yes, in the competitions among the top talents in Kyoto, Chu He not only never had any record, but he also never fought against those with a lower realm than him. He always fought across borders! Even those top talents could only be defeated by Chu He across borders. That loser... hehe."
"It's over. I thought it would be a fierce battle between dragons and tigers, but now that Chu He has come out, there is no suspense at all."
Similar discussions have been discussed countless times by people in Kyoto. Even many descendants of the divine marquis families are ready to defeat Chu Tianxiao in one fell swoop and become famous throughout the world.
However…
No matter how the public opinion in Kyoto changed, the Young Master Building remained eerily quiet, and no news came out. Gradually, some people with ulterior motives began to spread rumors, saying that Chu Tianxiao was afraid of fighting and that he had exhausted his potential and had no other options... There were even rumors that Chu Tianxiao had died in the Young Master Building, and that the Panlong decisive battle had completely become a farce!
As the saying goes, three people make a tiger. The rumors about Chu Tianxiao became more and more intense. The situation of the Chu family became more and more confusing. Many think tanks of the Shenhou family began to analyze and felt that Chu Tianxiao's move was not wrong, but he greatly underestimated Chu He's ability, which was a disadvantage and ruined the good situation. Some elders began to teach their juniors earnestly...
"Don't be like that prodigal son, thinking that being clever can solve everything! Look, he wanted to force Chu He to retreat, and if the attack failed, he would win the battle, but what was the result? A genius is a genius! Strength is everything! His self-proclaimed calculations are just digging his own grave! So you must practice hard and improve your strength!"
These words were so heartfelt that the younger generation nodded their heads repeatedly. They didn't have a good impression of the prodigal son who suddenly rose to prominence - who would have thought that a prodigal son would be above them? How embarrassing it would sound.
Of course, there were also many people who doubted whether the news of Chu He's perfect breakthrough was true, and soon they knew the answer.
Chuhe... started to move.
"The time for the Panlong decisive battle has come. Hasn't my good cousin arrived yet?"
Chu He stood outside the gate of the Chu family in Kyoto, and glanced at the Young Master's Building intentionally or unintentionally, and then a hint of irony appeared on the corner of his mouth...
