Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 305 The Emperor Arrives

After coming out of Master Bao's mansion, Li Zhi entered a state of seclusion and cultivation. He did not step out of the inn for the next few days, and prepared wholeheartedly for the upcoming fight in the inn.

The ginseng given by Master Bao and the Tianling water that Li Zhi had previously exchanged in the treasury of Yeyousi were all used by Li Zhi at this time.

Although Li Zhi was full of fighting spirit and confidence, he was not arrogant. He knew very well that he was not invincible.

The Night Tour Division was a place where many talented people were hiding. If he was careless, he would not be able to win the championship, and he would not even be able to handle the King of Zhou.

What Li Zhi never expected was that the 800-year-old ginseng given by Master Bao had effects far beyond his expectations.

This ginseng not only contains extremely surging vitality, but also provides great nourishment to Li Zhi's vitality-thirsty body.

What surprised Li Zhi even more was that there was actually a hint of woodiness hidden in this ginseng!

It is precisely because of the existence of this wood element that when Li Zhi absorbed the ginseng, he stimulated the liver wood that had been dormant, causing it to slowly awaken.

Although the liver wood has just awakened, it is still unable to function completely freely.

However, the living wood qi in the liver wood has the effect of restoring and nourishing. Therefore, you just need to let it recover slowly on its own. If it is nourished by the vital natural materials and treasures, it can also speed up the recovery of the liver wood.

However, even so, this was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for Li Zhi.

The awakening of the liver wood made his five elements circulation system more complete, and his strength was further improved and consolidated. This also made him full of more expectations and confidence for the next fight.

 …

Hong Fan knew that Li Zhi was concentrating on preparing for war, so he did not disturb Li Zhi during the time when Li Zhi was in seclusion.

Until today, the fight that Li Zhi had been looking forward to has finally arrived.

Hong Fan came to Li Zhi's door. He knocked gently on the door and said in a steady and clear voice: "Xiao Li, it's time."

After a moment, Li Zhi's door creaked and slowly opened.

Hong Fan looked up subconsciously, and was stunned by the sudden light in front of his eyes.

The aura emanating from Li Zhi in front of him was completely different from that before he went into seclusion, he was like two completely different people.

His originally grey hair was now mixed with some black hair. The black strands were like new grass breaking through the ground in spring.

Hong Fan understood clearly, he knew that this was a clear sign that Li Zhi's damaged vitality had been replenished. Obviously, this retreat was definitely of great benefit to Li Zhi.

I think the ginseng given by Mr. Bao played a big role.

Hong Fan thought secretly in his heart, and then his eyes fell on Li Zhi's eyes.

Li Zhi's eyes were deep and bright, like the twinkling cold stars in the night sky, with a gleam of light and a hint of majesty.

Hong Fan raised his eyebrows, with a hint of anticipation and curiosity, and asked with a smile: "How is it?"

Li Zhi grinned, his smile full of confidence, like a warrior about to step onto the battlefield, and said with great enthusiasm: "Waiting for a big fight!"

Having said that, the two of them walked straight towards Yeyousi without any delay.

 …

The Yeyou Division attached great importance to this duel competition and carefully arranged a special venue in the training ground within the division for participating members to duel.

The venue is huge, and on it, four arenas made of solid stone are stood in an orderly manner.

There are some tables and chairs placed around the martial arts arena. These tables and chairs are neatly arranged and obviously specially prepared for people to watch the fights.

At this time, some people had gathered around the martial arts arena. They were either relatives and friends of the contestants, or colleagues who were interested in this competition. They were talking in twos and threes in low voices, and the whole martial arts arena was filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere.

The contestants who had registered for the competition arrived one after another. They stood on the stage with strong postures and steady steps, quietly waiting for the competition to begin.

Li Zhi casually glanced at the people around him. With his sharp eyes, he discovered that among these dozen people, there were a few who Li Zhi felt were very powerful just by looking at them.

The rest of the people also had excited and confident expressions on their faces, and it was obvious that they were very confident in themselves.

Just as the people on the stage were looking at each other, there was a sudden commotion outside the venue.

After a while, someone shouted loudly, "The Emperor has arrived!"

The voice was loud and clear, like the sound of a huge bell, echoing over the martial arts arena and instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Everyone was shocked. No one had expected that a mere internal duel within the Night Tour Department could actually attract the emperor.

This sudden news caught everyone off guard and they were shocked.

For a moment, no matter whether it was the people on the stage or the people in the audience, everyone knelt on their knees and lowered their heads, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Li Zhi naturally did not dare to stand out and knelt on the ground like everyone else. However, Li Zhi could not help but feel a strong curiosity in his heart. He could not understand why the emperor would come to the Night Tour Office in person.

"Everyone, please stand up. I did not consider myself the emperor when I left the palace incognito today. I just came to join in the fun. You don't have to be so reserved."

A calm and majestic voice sounded.

Li Zhi secretly curled his lips and thought to himself, the emperor may not regard himself as the emperor, but how dare others slack off? In this society where imperial power is supreme, who dares to really not regard him as the emperor?

However, Li Zhi couldn't suppress his curiosity, and secretly raised his head and glanced at the emperor.

The emperor had a resolute and majestic face. He looked to be in his forties, in the prime of his life. Although he was wearing a hat, his temples that were not covered by the hat were slightly silvery, and the silvery hair shone with a faint luster under the sunlight.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

A man in front of the emperor shouted loudly, his voice was loud and powerful, and it set an example for others.

Others, including Li Zhi, also shouted in unison at this time: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Then, they all stood up one by one.

Li Zhi glanced at the emperor without leaving a trace, and saw a man with extraordinary aura standing next to the emperor.

The man was tall and straight, with an extraordinary temperament, and there was a sense of majesty in his every move. Li Zhi's eyes flashed, and he immediately knew in his heart that this man was the chief of the Night Tour Department, Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji is obviously the emperor's uncle, but now when the two of them stand together, they look like brothers.

Li Zhi knew in his heart that this was because the emperor had been injured and ill before, which had damaged his vitality and his physical condition was much worse than before.

As the head of the Night Tour Department, Zhao Wuji has practiced properly and is well versed in the ways of health preservation and cultivation. Although he is not as outrageous as if he has regained youth, he looks younger than his actual age.

Zhao Wuji extended his hand and said in a gentle and respectful voice, "Your Majesty, please come this way."

Zhao Qi nodded when he heard this, his expression calm, and walked steadily to the seat assigned to him by Zhao Wuji.

At this time, Li Zhi saw Master Bao actually swaggering up to the emperor's side. He bent down, and no one knew what he said to the emperor. He then shamelessly dragged a chair and sat next to the emperor.

This action made Li Zhi's heart move, and he had a new understanding of the status of Master Bao in the emperor's heart.

You know, even princes like King Zhou didn't dare to be so presumptuous in front of the emperor, but Master Bao could be so calm and composed, which shows that the emperor has a special feeling for him.

Li Zhi couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene, and secretly sighed in his heart: Zhao Bao is worthy of being so daring!
