Three months later
The final of the sixth practical ranking assessment since the start of the semester unsurprisingly featured a match between Li Xijun and Su Nianyi.
After experiencing the crushing power of Su Nianyi's 30+ tons of mental energy, most people have become accustomed to this outcome and the battle.
Without even thinking about it, what followed was a classic duel between the two, with Su Nianyi conceding defeat and Li Xijun achieving his sixth consecutive first place in the rankings.
And indeed, things were done after the above procedures were completed.
After confirming that Li Xijun had met the contractual condition of achieving the top ranking in 6/6 of the actual combat, the following was confirmed.
Li Xijun, relieved, did not leave the competition square, but instead spoke with great interest:
"I broke through to level 14.9 in life yesterday. Nianyi, why don't you spar with me using your mental power later?"
"Alright, I also want to know your current strength, hope-jun."
I don't know if it's just my imagination, but Su Nianyi seemed to be a little jealous when she said that.
after all,
During this period, when Li Xijun was rapidly improving thanks to the [Blood of the Heavenly Dragon], he was always in the bathroom with Lisa.
Jiang Qiyue, that fake best friend, really stood guard at the door, preventing her from going in.
Furthermore, Li Xijun experiences several levels of improvement each time he bathes in dragon blood.
She really doesn't know Li Xijun's physique and specific strength data as well as that hateful female vice principal does now.
The two, who had just finished their ranking matches, still had one more battle to fight.
The freshmen, who had originally planned to leave, stopped and decided to observe.
Over the past three months, they have become very aware of the terrifying nature of Su Nianyi, this mentalist.
Ordinary martial artists cannot detect the movement of mental energy at all and can only barely rely on their combat intuition to deal with it.
Even if they tried their best to defend and dodge in the battle against Su Nianyi,
But the girl opposite had such outrageous mental power...
It was still as if it had been swept up by a giant wave.
He was instantly thrown away by a force of over 30 tons, with no chance of fighting back.
If it weren't for Li Xijun's presence...
The entire first-year students of Qingquan Chunhui Hall
They will probably all be controlled by Su Nianying, this mentalist.
Over the course of a year, she will likely collect all the points from the top-ranked player in actual combat, and will also gain far more resources than anyone else.
"hope-jun, you need to be careful!"
On the martial arts arena, after Su Nianyi finished speaking, a light flashed in her purple eyes, and a mental force transformed into an invisible palm, extending a finger to point at Li Xijun.
But to her surprise,
Li Xijun, who is clearly a mentalist and capable of external scanning,
Instead of dodging or avoiding, he stood still, exerted force with his legs, stomped on the ground, twisted his hips and waist, and threw a punch at the finger formed by spiritual energy.
"Bang!"
The sound wave, like a high-yield explosive, seemed to tangibly spread outwards.
All the freshmen who were watching felt a loud "bang".
I experienced a momentary hearing loss, which caused my mind to go blank for a moment.
Fortunately, after this period of training, these Transcendent Realm warriors already possess sufficient combat skills.
Even amidst the aftermath and effects of such a battle, they were still able to maintain their focus and gaze intently towards the center of the arena.
Li Xijun took a step back, but the finger formed by Su Nianyi's mental power was forcibly dispersed!
"Really?"
Fang Jiekong, who was the first to be brutally beaten when Su Nianyi was competing for the rankings, was completely stunned.
When he faced Su Nianyi, he was almost crushed to death by her estimated 30-ton force.
Now, Li Xijun actually used the physical strength of the Transcendent Realm [External Body] to directly defeat the opponent's mental attack!
"What kind of rare and precious treasures has he absorbed in the past three months?"
Qin Lingfeng knew that his sister, representing the Provincial Martial Arts Department, had once presented Li Xijun with the "Star Marrow Glimmer".
She couldn't help but look at Jiang Qiyue beside her and ask her a question.
He couldn't understand how Li Xijun had increased her strength from 8t to 30t in just three months.
"Ah, hope-jun used up a whole barrel of [Heavenly Dragon Blood] in the past three months, and also consumed two [Dragon Blood Fruits] in addition."
"With so many rare and precious materials thrown at it, isn't it normal for a life level of 14.9 to have 30 tons of resources?"
Jiang Qiyue, who was used to spending every day with Li Xijun, said with a puzzled expression.
This left everyone nearby speechless.
The standard punching power for a level 15 martial artist should be 12t, right?
The outrageous power he displayed is almost on par with a martial artist with a life level of 18. Even in the second year of university, he would be considered an outstanding individual.
Everyone felt that he truly deserved to be the top scorer who had set a record of 10.0 in Qi and Blood levels.
Such outrageous physical talent is truly incomprehensible.
at the same time,
After testing his own strength, Li Xijun looked at Su Nianyi and activated [Shocking Eyes].
Although his mental level has increased to level 35 and his mental power has reached 20t in the past three months.
However, normally speaking, his mental strength definitely wouldn't be able to affect Su Nianyi.
Therefore, when Li Xijun used this spell, he drew upon a portion of the power of all living beings to enhance it.
The mental energy, which instantly doubled in power, surged down, forcing Su Nianyi to withdraw all her mental energy and focus all her efforts on defending against the opponent's mental attack.
And in that very brief moment,
Li Xijun instantly and easily crossed the distance between the two.
When Su Nianyi recovered her senses
He had already placed his hand on the girl's shoulder.
"I lost again."
Su Nianyi, regaining her senses, sighed softly.
This time, her lead over Li Xijun lasted only three months before she was overtaken again.
"Your progress is a bit too fast." There was a hint of disappointment in the girl's voice.
"You already helped me a lot in March."
The hand that had been resting on the girl's shoulder casually pinched her cheek; Li Xijun's words were truly sincere.
At least in the fourth real-world ranking after the five-school joint competition, he really couldn't beat Su Nianyi at that time. He was basically relying on her for support to maintain his winning streak.
This immediately improved Su Nianyi's mood, leaving the onlookers speechless.
So after witnessing someone's outrageous physical progress over the past three months, they also have to endure a dose of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
Jiang Qiyue then directly stepped between the two, casually draping her arm around Li Xijun's shoulder, and said:
"Alright, alright, since Xijun has already achieved first place in six real-world bets today,"
"Let's go to my aunt's house first."
A moment later
In the attic
After completing six practical rankings this semester, the three gradually relaxed.
According to the plan of Qingquan Chunhui Hall, there will be no assessments in January and February, which will be the winter vacation.
University students can choose to stay on campus, go home to cultivate themselves, or take on missions to hone their skills.
The three people, eating various spiritual fruits and snacks in the living room on the first floor, chatted and laughed while watching a movie on the screen.
Until the movie was more than halfway through,
The door was then pushed open, and Vice Principal Lisa walked in, carrying a small, antique-looking wooden box in a cheerful mood.
This instantly drew everyone's attention to her.
"Auntie! Is this the legendary Enlightenment Tea?"
Jiang Qiyue, who had changed into a tank top and shorts at home, was the first to run over and look curiously at the wooden box in Lisa's hand.
Su Nianyi's gaze was also unconsciously drawn to it.
It wasn't until Lisa sat down on the sofa and placed the wooden box on the table that...
Jiang Qiyue and Su Nianyi were already squatting down curiously, carefully examining the extremely antique-looking wooden box.
Li Xijun, on the other hand, casually brewed a cup of nourishing tea with the boiled spiritual spring water.
Without even glancing at the wooden box, he sat down next to Teacher Lisa and offered her some tea to rest.
"Lisa, you've worked hard. Please have some tea first."
This attitude of disregarding the "Enlightenment Tea" and prioritizing one's own needs is...
The vice principal was quite pleased and, without any hesitation, tapped Su Nianyi and Jiang Qiyue on the head.
"You should all learn from hope Jun and see his character and conduct."
Lisa spoke in a classic, lecturing tone, like a senior parent:
"You two always say I'm too good to Xijun, even following him when he bathes in dragon blood,"
"Look at how you all behaved just now, and how Xijun behaved."
"If I were to choose one of you three to help with the investment, how could you compare to hope Jun?"
These words made Jiang Qiyue feel ashamed and lower her head.
Su Nianyi rolled her eyes inwardly. Her sister had initially thought Li Xijun respected his teacher, but...
After speaking about the two people, Li turned to Li Xijun and said:
"hope Jun, although your application for the Enlightenment Spirit Tea has been approved, you should leave it with me before you use it."
Lisa's expression turned extremely serious as she began to instruct.
"The value of this rare and precious material surpasses that of the Blood of the Heavenly Dragon by a thousand or even ten thousand times."
"Even for martial artists at the Vajra Realm, it has a significant auxiliary effect on their martial arts cultivation."
"If it were discovered in some mythical world, those Golden Core Realm warriors would rather fight to the death to obtain such a treasure."
"If a martial artist at the Transcendent Realm [External Body] level were to carry you around, even if they knew you were a key target of the current 'Ten Years of Cultivating People' training program, there would probably be Outer Realm and Golden Core martial artists who would take the risk."
"Okay, then let's leave it to Ms. Lisa to keep safe."
Li Xijun spoke without hesitation.
Lisa was very satisfied with this decisive attitude and mindset.
So much so that she couldn't help but turn around and give Jiang Qiyue another chop to the neck.
"Do you see that? This is the difference in mindset between you two."
"If you were as decisive as hope-jun, you would have been able to successfully reach level 13.5 last time."
"The last bit of spiritual power from the Crimson Serpent's Fire Gallbladder was wasted."
In response, Jiang Qiyue darted to Li Xijun's side, naturally taking his arm, and nodded quickly:
"Yes, yes, I will definitely learn more from hope-jun!"
Su Nianyi, standing to the side, glanced at the two women occupying Li Xijun's left and right sides, and her eyes twitched again.
At that moment, she suddenly missed her older sister who was in seclusion breaking through the limitations of outdoor photography.
Evening
Li Xijun returned to her private villa.
However, at this moment, he was not cultivating and absorbing spiritual energy in the usual "five hearts facing the sky" posture.
Instead, he adopted the posture from the "Xuanwu Siming Marrow Cleansing Secret Formula," his breathing becoming almost imperceptible, focusing intently on activating his internal energy to cleanse the brain marrow, the final stage of the Marrow Cleansing Classic.
This level, along with the Great Dragon of the Spine, is known as one of the two major gates of hell in the Marrow Cleansing Realm.
The refining of the brain requires extreme care; the slightest mistake can lead to extremely serious consequences, even resulting in a vegetative state.
Fortunately, Li Xijun, in the Fetal Breathing Realm, was still able to perfectly control the intensity of the marrow cleansing through introspection.
All the dangers within his brain were laid bare before him, and he effortlessly cleansed them away with his light touch.
About three hours later,
With the entire brain marrow completely cleansed,
When Li Xijun opened her eyes again, she found that her eyes were like cleansed glass, even brighter and purer.
Even the mental level has thus made more active progress.
This prompted him to quickly check the information he had just seen.
[Your mastery level in the "Xuanwu Siming Marrow Cleansing Secret Method" has increased from Master 80% to Master 84%.]
[Your Martial Arts Refinement System - Marrow Cleansing Realm has been upgraded from 89% to 90%.]
Your mental level has increased from 35.1 to 35.3.
"The Marrow Cleansing Realm truly represents a significant sublimation of the essence of life."
"The successful cleansing of my brain has even had a positive effect on my mental strength."
This unexpected joy was something Li Xijun had not anticipated.
This also made him pay more and more attention to the final brain cleansing.
"Marrow cleansing is usually most dangerous the first time. Once you get through the first time, the subsequent cleansing is not difficult."
"Furthermore, my physical body is incredibly strong, and at my current life level of 14.9, the amount of internal energy generated after absorbing spiritual power is extremely large."
"At this rate, if I focus on marrow cleansing for ten days, I will be able to completely cleanse my brain marrow and reach the pinnacle of marrow cleansing."
"Compared to the extremely dangerous Marrow Cleansing Realm, which is considered a death gate, it is said that Blood Exchange is actually a very gentle process, even a natural and effortless one."
With this in mind, Li Xijun made up his mind to first go into seclusion for ten days to complete the Marrow Cleansing Technique before returning to Dasheng.
at the same time,
Dasheng World
At the eastern gate of the capital city
A burly, middle-aged man with a short, thick beard and a menacing scar on his face.
As soon as he mounted the horse, he suddenly found that the magnificent steed beneath him was restless and agitated, even thrashing about, trying to throw him off.
The commotion caused a sharp glint to flash in his eyes. He let out a cold snort and squeezed his legs together forcefully.
This incredibly strong horse, capable of crashing through city walls at full speed, let out a mournful howl. It seemed as if its bones had been removed, and it collapsed to its knees, its eyes filled with terror.
"Ha, Dian Wusheng has quite the temper. He's just a beast, why is he so angry?"
Behind him, a leisurely old man, dressed in fine clothes, with a fair complexion and no beard, rode a black dragon-scale horse. His voice was slightly high-pitched.
This made the scarred, burly man even more disdainful.
"Grandpa Hua, it's precisely because it's a beast that we need to teach it a lesson. You can't reason with beasts; you have to use your fists."
"If martial arts flourish, each prefecture and county in our Great Sheng will have more than a dozen martial saints in charge. Do you think those beasts in the west will still dare to fight another battle?"
"Hehehe, we don't understand these things. We only know that all other pursuits are inferior except for studying. All those who can gain enlightenment seek the path of spiritual refinement through the three religions."
The plump, pale eunuch spoke in a sarcastic tone:
"I think you martial arts masters should just give up."
"Young Master Li is a genius who has achieved the state of meditation and spiritual cultivation at a young age."
"How could I possibly have real skills? Why would I hang out with you bunch of martial arts enthusiasts, indulging in wild fantasies all day long, searching for some kind of path in martial arts?"
Upon hearing this, Dian Lei sneered incessantly, his scars appearing even more ferocious.
"Judging from what Eunuch Hua is saying, you've also set your sights on Li Xijun? I've read a lot of information about that young man, and he doesn't seem like someone willing to serve as a subordinate to your royal family."
"Martial Saint, you've misunderstood."
Instead, Eunuch Hua shook his head and continued:
"I was only ordered to visit Lord Boyan and the Ninth Princess. As for that Young Master Li, I was just curious and went to see him, since he was also a student of Lord Boyan."
That's what it means.
But in reality, he was also ordered to thoroughly investigate everything that had happened to Li Xijun since he appeared in Tianjin.
They also need to use a recording stone to capture the boy's face and appearance, and present it to the Emperor for his perusal.
Although I don't know why His Majesty values and cares about Li Xijun from Tianjin so much,
But the reason he was able to stay in the Imperial Study for so many years was because he worked honestly and never thought of or did anything unnecessary.
However, these were things that could not be told to Dian Lei.
"Hehe, that's good then."
Dian Lei didn't believe it entirely either, and instead said:
"In that case, I'll go with Eunuch Hua. That way, we can look after each other."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly struck out, slapping the black-scaled dragon-horse, causing it to collapse and die instantly.
This scene almost made Eunuch Hua laugh in anger.
"Martial Saint, what magnanimity! Are you really that afraid that I'll go to Tianjin to see Young Master Li ahead of schedule?"
"I'm sorry, but there are very few martial arts prodigies in our country who have achieved the great marrow cleansing at such a young age. His master is Zhang Fuhu. If we don't recruit him into the association, the senior members will probably scold me for three days and three nights."
After saying this, Dian Lei clasped his hands in a salute, turned around, and with a leap of his feet, he soared like a large bird into the dense forest ahead.
On the contrary, this eunuch Hua's expression calmed down after seeing the disappearing figure of the Martial Saint.
"His Majesty once thought of taking advantage of the 'World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament of the Eastern and Western Continents' held by the Seven Gods Church to see him in person."
"If Dian Lei can handle this matter well and bring Li Xijun into their National Martial Arts Masters Association,"
"Then Li Xijun should be present at the martial arts tournament to be held in the capital in the second half of the year."
"If the lottery is arranged properly, it might be possible to get him into the subsequent martial arts competition in front of the emperor in the Forbidden City."
Thinking this through, Eunuch Hua nodded slightly and whispered:
"Although these martial artists did not find a way forward, they still discussed and innovated a lot of good things at the National Martial Arts Masters Association."
"Zhang Fuhu was one of them back then, and I imagine Young Master Li wouldn't refuse to join as well."
