We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Chapter 108 The Man Who Walked Out of the Explosion
Rumble~
The deafening sonic boom rolled outwards in all directions, and the ground trembled slightly.

"Fantastic! Perfect hit!"

The girl stared at the small mushroom cloud, but no one was in sight for a long time. The tension in her heart immediately eased, and a look of joy appeared on her face. She started jumping up and down.

I don't know.

"How...how is this possible?"

The lean boy's eyes widened instantly, staring intently at the center of the small mushroom cloud. He squatted stiffly in place, his throat tight, only able to let out weak, trembling breaths.

Sweat kept gathering on his chin, forming droplets that glistened under the blazing sun before dripping onto the scorching ground.

"Huh?" The girl noticed the boy's strange expression after a moment of confusion. She squatted down and asked, "Why do you have that expression?"

The skinny boy looked at the girl in horror, his throat tightening, and he stammered, "I... I didn't receive any notification to kill that person."

The words have not yet fallen.

Peng! Peng!
Two eerie streaks of blood mist instantly bloomed under the blazing sun, like two blooming crimson flowers, intertwining with the sunlight, both eerie and beautiful.

The lean young man looked at the translucent hole in his chest, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes, before he vanished instantly into the desolate Gobi Desert.

Tread~tap~tap~
Within the area engulfed by the smoke and explosions of artillery shells, a ragged figure slowly emerged, his face ashen like coal, his steps slow yet firm and powerful.

"Whoo~"

"That was close." Shen Bailian turned around, glancing with lingering fear at the two craters left by the exploding shell, and murmured to himself:

"Luckily I was careful just now, otherwise I would have really been eliminated by this group."

In the conference room of Tian Shu Building, a group of teachers and leaders watched the scene on the screen and instantly became excited.

"They survived?"

"This Shen Bailian is quite formidable! Dean Duan has really struck gold!"

"That's right, who would have thought that a freshman who hasn't even officially enrolled has already mastered the Breath of All Things? Has our Tiangang Academy ever had such a freakish freshman?"

Dozens of teachers couldn't help but start discussing it. At this moment, Cheng Shangwu and the others were also stunned, not knowing how to describe this boy.

Shen Bailian's strength was completely insignificant to them.

However, the profound potential displayed by Shen Bailian shocked everyone present.

It is important to know that there are five levels of mastery over a martial artist’s weapon, from lowest to highest: mastery of the weapon, unity of man and weapon, breathing in all things, subtlety, and finally, the realm of artistic conception.

For example, the intent of a knife, the intent of a sword, and the intent of a spear.
Generally speaking, the first level has almost no threshold. As long as you practice diligently, any martial arts apprentice can master it after reaching high school.

Secondly, the state of perfect harmony between man and weapon is influenced by spiritual power and comprehension, as well as by renowned teachers. Many martial artists at the Establishment Realm, and even a small number at the Transcendent Realm, remain at this state for a long time.

Thirdly, the realm of breathing through all things. The level of comprehension determines whether a martial artist can normally reach this realm. Many martial artists in the Transcendent Realm rely on their powerful spiritual force to directly shatter the threshold and forcibly comprehend it.

Shakyamuni sat under the Bodhi tree for forty-nine days to attain enlightenment and achieved Buddhahood. But what if someone else had attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree?

After eighty-one days, he would probably turn into a skeleton.

And what about Shen Bailian?
At only seventeen years old, with some time to go before his eighteenth birthday coming-of-age ceremony, he was already at the age of a typical martial arts student in his final year of high school, yet he had already grasped the essence of the breath of all things.

Furthermore, all the teachers had extremely sharp eyes and could see that Shen Bailian was not a beginner in the realm of breathing all things, but had already comprehended it for some time.

The performance was so natural and smooth.

"He's far superior to all my disciples." Cheng Shangwu sighed helplessly. He was completely convinced of Shen Bailian's talent and said softly:
"Old Duan, the disciple you signed is truly beyond imagination. Your eye for talent is amazing."

"Why did you give in so quickly this time?" Chu Yunfei looked up, glanced at Cheng Shangwu with surprise, and teased him.

“You have no choice but to back down.” Cheng Shangwu glanced at him and said, “In a one-on-one fight, do you think anyone in your department could last three rounds against that kid?”

"No." Chu Yunfei pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

Qin Wuyang from the Second Academy barely broke the previous world record, let alone defeat Shen Bailian. He probably wouldn't even last ten rounds against Li Feiyu.

"Judging from Shen Bailian's current performance, he might enter the Earthly Fiends list during his junior year." Zhou Yuan, who had been sitting silently to the side, suddenly made a startling statement:
"Maybe by the time he's a senior, our Tiangang Academy will be able to train a student who can participate in the global martial arts competition."

“Indeed.” Ji Chenghu nodded in agreement.

"Hahaha~" Hearing Ji Chenghu's approval, Duan Wuyai laughed even more happily and said, "I'm also looking forward to it, after all, Shen Bailian is also my disciple."

Duan Wuyai is now increasingly grateful that he accepted Kong Chaowu's invitation to go to Sanqing Mountain to watch that 'playing house'-style trial.

He was also very glad that he was able to make up his mind at the time and exchange such a disciple with such extraordinary talent for an exorbitantly priced first-class training contract.

"Others bet on the present, I bet on the future."

"I'm waiting for the day you make a name for yourself in the global martial arts competition!"

Inside the Tiangang Academy, in the plaza.

"What happened just now?"

"How come he wasn't killed in the explosion? That doesn't make sense."

A group of previously confident second-year martial arts students stared blankly at the boy walking on the light screen.

How can it be?

That's an RPG!
Even if they weren't directly hit, the shockwave and high temperature generated by the explosion at such close range would be enough to kill or severely maim any martial artist at the Life-Establishing Realm.

And that guy.

Aside from his skin being blackened by gunpowder smoke and his clothes becoming tattered, he was surprisingly unharmed and could still continue to eliminate opponents and earn points in the desolate Gobi Desert with great vigor.

This is truly contrary to common sense.

But no one doubted whether Shen Bailian had activated it, because the virtual reality pods in each academy were directly controlled by the Nuwa Intelligent Hub.

If something goes wrong, it will be a major event affecting the entire country. "It's the realm of the breath of all things." A third-year martial arts student, with extremely sharp eyes, stared intently at the young man and explained:
"The boy sensed something amiss while surrounded and attacked, and had been concealing his strength. Upon detecting the incoming cannonballs, he instantly unleashed his full power, cleaving open the 'dead end' with one strike and splitting the cannonball with another, thus gaining a path to survival. And then..."

"Of course, he most likely has a special physique on the defensive side, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to walk out of the blast radius so easily."

Time flew by, and soon the map of the barren Gobi Desert had been shrunk to 0.25 square kilometers, which is a circle with a diameter of less than 600 meters.

On the desolate Gobi Desert, of the original 3600 trial participants, after several rounds of elimination, only less than fifty remained, and the number of red-named monsters also plummeted to 13.

Apart from the 14 red-named monsters who were truly randomly assigned, the remaining 9 red-named monsters who were eliminated were all Sun-level Lungmen martial arts students.

Six of them were killed in the encirclement, and Shen Bailian killed one of the remaining three.

The remaining trial participants were divided into six camps according to their departments, and they kept their distance from each other.

"Senior Brother Shen," Chen Yifei said earnestly, standing in front of the young man, "Hurry up and make your move, otherwise we'll only make things worse."

"Yes, Senior Brother Shen, don't hesitate any longer. Let's live well with our points. We are willing to make sacrifices for the honor of the Fourth Academy," a student from the Fourth Academy said firmly.

"."

"stop.",

Shen Bailian, somewhat annoyed, stopped the noisy group in front of him and looked at Chen Yifei and the others, asking hesitantly:

"Are you sure you've thought this through? Don't just follow the crowd; make your own choices."

"Senior Brother Shen, we have already discussed it and made a decision."

"Our continued existence will only boost their points! We might as well give the points directly to Senior Brother Shen, help him win the championship, and also help the Fourth Academy win the championship."

"If you're a brother, come and kill me." With that, Chen Yifei and the others exchanged glances, then closed their eyes, their minds made up.

"Ok."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Chen Yifei and the others, Shen Bailian finally swung his Dragon Slayer sword, choosing the fastest and painless method.

bass!
A cold glint flashed, and Chen Yifei and his companions vanished into nothingness.

"Points +98"

"."

"Points +6, total points 2024, ranked first."

"It seems that Chen Yifei's strength is not bad."

Shen Bailian looked thoughtfully in Chen Yifei's direction. He never expected that Chen Yifei could get 98 points, which meant that he had eliminated quite a few test takers.

The other departments, after seeing the performance of the Fourth Academy, looked at each other for a moment, and then made up their minds.

In less than ten seconds.

The original fifty trial participants were reduced to 13 after that. With the addition of Shen Bailian, all of them were red-named monsters.

Those who voluntarily opted out of the trial placed their last hope on the strongest person in their academy.

Three people remained from the First and Fifth Affiliated Hospitals.

There are only two people left in the second, third, and sixth wards.

Only the Fourth Academy remained, with Shen Bailian all alone.

In an instant, the atmosphere on the Gobi Desert became subtle, and no one made the first move.

After a series of battles, coupled with a high temperature of sixty degrees Celsius, even a student of the Sun-level Dragon Gate martial arts program has inexhaustible stamina.

Nobody wants to be the first to stick their neck out.

"Xuanxuan." Feng Yanqiu and Wang Yuxuan from the Third Academy stood back to back, warily watching the surroundings, and whispered, "Should we form an alliance with Shen Bailian from the Fourth Academy?"

“Okay.” Wang Yuxuan nodded.

Because she didn't have much energy left.

Because both of them were red-named monsters and both were girls, many trial participants looked down on them and wanted to eliminate them to gain points.

They even faced an attack by hundreds of people. If they hadn't come from the same place and hadn't worked together so well, they would have been eliminated long ago.

"New trial rule: Display score and ranking for each match".

Suddenly, a solemn and resounding voice echoed throughout the entire trial grounds.

All of a sudden.

A virtual display screen appeared above each person's head, clearly showing their current total score and overall ranking.

Li Feiyu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked around. Almost all the red-named monsters had scores of around 800 or 900 points, none of which were as high as his 1061 points.

however.

When Li Feiyu looked in the direction of the Fourth Academy, his pupils instantly contracted and trembled rapidly, like a candle flame being blown by the wind.

Total points: 2024; Rank: First.

???

The other trainees from the academies quickly noticed Shen Bailian's overwhelming lead in total points and were all shocked, their minds filled with questions.

How is this going?

I'll update the remaining chapter during the day, but my mind gets all messed up at night, and I can't write the battle scenes well.
