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

Chapter 175 Young friend, I see you have extraordinary physique; you must be a martial arts prodigy.
“I hope you won’t let me down!”

Upon hearing that familiar voice, the golden eagle immediately closed its eyes and began to pray silently. Whether it would succeed or not depended on this one chance.

He took a deep breath. The surrounding rain was kept out by the Force shield. After calming his slightly excited emotions, he slowly opened his sharp eyes, which were filled with anticipation.

The moment the golden eagle opened its eyes, a deafening explosion erupted, and a thunderclap crashed down from the sky, illuminating the entire world and its sharply defined face.

As his eyes gradually adjusted to the blinding flash and he saw the words on the screen, his pupils suddenly contracted as if struck by lightning, and his breathing became rapid.

……

On the morning of December 11, 345 of the New Era.

In the dim morning light, it is now late autumn, nearing the winter solstice. Even after the fall of the gods, the changing seasons of the Earthly Star have not stopped.

The bleak autumn wind blew through Congyun City, making the sweltering weather instantly much cooler.

A patch of green grass, surrounded by several layers of barbed wire, looked like a prison.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Dressed in a black outfit, Shen Bailian moved like a black lightning bolt, constantly leaping and shifting across the grass. His movements were swift and powerful, and his clothes fluttered in the wind, making him appear majestic and awe-inspiring.

The horse-slaying saber in his hand was long and heavy, its blade gleaming with a chilling light, enough to cut through all obstructions. Every turn, every swing of the blade, sent shivers down one's spine.

Breaking the sound barrier causes the surrounding air to vibrate violently and create a surge of airflow.

Fortunately, Shen Bailian was the only one on this patch of green grass. The barbed wire around him looked like ordinary barbed wire, but it was actually a thin, flexible force field that could withstand the unrestrained burst of power from a martial artist in the early stage of the Sea Opening Realm without affecting the outside world.

As time passed, Shen Bailian fully unleashed his power, instantly bursting forth across the entire green grassland. In terms of movement speed alone, he surpassed 200m/s in the blink of an eye, creating terrifying afterimages.

Its movement speed alone was terrifying, and the blade light was even more frightening. One after another, the sharp blade light spread out in all directions and was then submerged in the flexible force field.

Lively and dreamlike.

Since Duan Wuyai broke through to become a Divine Palace Realm expert on December 9th, after teaching Shen Bailian, he went to the capital to report and had another task to complete.

Meanwhile, the Sharp Sword Enforcement Team is still surveying the interlayered world and will need another day or two to complete the rough topographical map.

Shen Bailian wanted to improve his strength before carrying out the mission, but the basic breathing technique could not be upgraded for the time being. Grinding experience points for other skills for two days was far from enough to upgrade them.

Therefore, he shifted his attention to the five levels of weapon mastery.

When Shen Bailian first comprehended the Golden Purification, he had already touched upon the fourth realm—Entering the Subtle—meaning he had already taken one step into it.

However, Shen Bailian did not notice these subtle changes at the time because his access level was not high enough. After Duan Wuyai explained it to him, he immediately realized it.

There are five levels of basic swordsmanship. In Shen Bailian's original understanding, these should correspond to five levels of martial arts skills: mastery of the sword, unity of man and weapon, breath of all things, subtlety, and artistic conception.

However, it seems that to truly grasp the essence of a skill through its forced nature, one must at least raise the basic sword technique to level 5, and to comprehend its intent, one must wait until the basic sword technique has been advanced.

However, in the end, the panel is merely a manifestation of Shen Bailian's original talent, and it will not become a hindrance to him, but rather an aid.

Just like when comprehending the realm of the breath of all things, if the level of basic sword skills is not high enough, it does not mean that Shen Bailian cannot comprehend the subtlety, but rather that the difficulty will increase.

However, for Shen Bailian, who has already stepped into the threshold of the Microscopic Realm, if he devotes himself to the cultivation of basic sword techniques in the next two days, and with the addition of a second-tier Spirit Nourishing Fruit, it is not impossible for him to replicate the miracle of entering the Enlightenment state before.

at the same time.

[Congratulations! Your basic swordsmanship skill has improved. Experience points +1]

Congratulations! Your character level experience has increased by 1.

[Congratulations, ...basic swordsmanship...]

……

Congratulations! Your Gale skill has been upgraded. Experience points +1

Congratulations! Your Iron Body skill has been upgraded. Experience points +1

……

[Basic Knife Skills LV4 (850/1100)]

As Shen Bailian practiced the basic sword techniques again and again, one prompt message after another popped up on the panel.

Because Shen Bailian devoted himself entirely to practicing basic sword techniques this time, he gained a whopping 54 experience points in basic sword techniques in just over a day.

However, the cost was also extremely surprising. Shen Bailian consumed three bottles of the second-tier Star Nourishing Spirit Potion alone, with a total value of 300,000.

Not to mention the higher-level nutritional supplements that require even greater consumption.

"However, the ability to reap what you sow is truly insane."

Shen Bailian can now clearly feel that he is not far from truly stepping into the fourth realm of martial arts skills—the subtlety of the art.

All of this depends on his own innate extraordinary abilities, the all-around blessing of hard work and the passive skills of the idealistic type.

As long as Shen Bailian has ideas and puts in the effort, he will definitely reap the rewards, and these rewards and insights will not diminish with the passage of time.

"Continue to practice!"

Shen Bailian's mind stirred slightly, and two beams of light shot out from his eyes. This was a manifestation of his spiritual power materializing and becoming increasingly vigorous.

His internal organs vibrated violently in an instant, his blood surged like a long river, and a faint smoothness appeared in his blood. His whole body seemed to be surrounded by a halo, and the speed was extremely fast.

"Wow!"

A white light flashed fiercely, followed by the blade moving like a dragon, trembling slightly, then growing louder and louder, echoing continuously throughout the training ground.

Just as Shen Bailian was immersed in his cultivation, several people had already silently approached from outside the arena.

Among these people were Cheng Shangwu, a peak expert at the Opening Sea Realm; Lei Zhentian; Yue Feng, the captain of the Sharp Sword Enforcement Team; Hummingbird from the Sharp Sword Enforcement Team; as well as Yuwen Changkong, Zhantai Mingyue, and Lu Yingzi.

There was also an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, so ordinary that he wouldn't stand out in a crowd of middle-aged men.

But this ordinary-looking middle-aged man walked at the very front of the group, and even Cheng Shangwu, Lei Zhentian, and Yue Feng had to carefully follow behind.

The reason was simply because the person in front was too strong. It was none other than Si Buhui, the third elder of the Starry Sky Martial Hall, a super strong expert at least at the peak of the Embracing Moon Realm. He could crush any one of the three of them with one hand. "This kid is Shen Bailian?" Si Buhui looked at the boy in the training ground with interest. His first impression was... extraordinary appearance, only "slightly inferior" to his own.

Secondly, he truly lives up to his reputation as the number one martial arts prodigy of Tiangang Academy. At such a young age, he has already stepped into the threshold of the fourth realm of martial arts skills—the subtlety realm.

Thirdly, he wanted Shen Bailian to be his disciple after only observing him for a short while. Even Yuwen Changkong had never moved him so much.

“Yes.” Lei Zhentian beat Cheng Shangwu to it, pointed at Shen Bailian who was immersed in cultivation, and said directly, “Third Elder, this is Shen Bailian.”

"Do you think we should interrupt him for a moment?"

"No way!" Upon hearing this, Cheng Shangwu immediately became anxious. He glared at Lei Zhentian, this "sycophant," then bowed slightly to Si Buhui and said respectfully:
"Third Elder, you surely wouldn't be such a muddle-headed person."

Geniuses have privileges everywhere. In the Great Xia Dynasty, martial arts prodigies and top-tier martial arts prodigies have the privilege that no one can disturb them while they are cultivating.

This includes anyone, including those at the Moon Embracing Realm.

Because martial arts prodigies and top-tier martial arts prodigies all possess considerable comprehension, they might enter a state of enlightenment at a certain moment when they are immersed in cultivation.

To obstruct someone's path to martial arts is tantamount to murdering their parents—a grave enmity!
Therefore, over time, this rule evolved from an unwritten rule into a privilege reserved for martial arts prodigies and top-tier martial arts prodigies.

“That’s right.” Si Bu Hui nodded, not angry, because he was in a particularly good mood today, especially when he saw Shen Bailian in person.

Otherwise, given his temperament, would he even bother with Cheng Shangwu?

As for the privileges of martial arts prodigies and top-tier martial arts prodigies, becoming his disciple whom he would never regret is one of the greatest privileges in the entire world.

"Old Duan, this is all I can do to help you." Cheng Shangwu thought to himself as he looked at the resolute and unrepentant figure ahead.

He knew that the Third Elder of the Starry Sky Martial Hall had taken a liking to his talent, because his unyielding nature was notorious within the Great Xia Dynasty, and he was also notoriously shameless.

If someone like that, who is willing to die without regret, were placed in a cultivation sect in a biographical novel, the older one who was beaten to death would definitely disregard the seniority and shamelessly take action.

Now, Si Bu Hui has his eye on Shen Bailian and wants to take him as a disciple, while Duan Wuyai has gone out on a mission, and Xiong Kuohai, the principal of Tiangang Academy, is also away from the Great Xia territory for most of the year.

This can be described as adding insult to injury.

Now only Ji Chenghu remains.

However, although Ji Chenghu is also a powerful expert in the Embracing Moon Realm, he is ultimately just a junior in front of Si Buhui. He wouldn't be able to say anything useful, and might even provoke Si Buhui's rebellious mentality.

As for Cheng Shangwu?
Despite being the dean of the First Academy of Tiangang Academy and a peak-level martial artist in the Opening Sea Realm in front of Lu Yingzi and others, he was no different from an ant in front of Si Buhui.

By saying that, Cheng Shangwu had already risked offending Si Buhui. Doing anything else would only cause Si Buhui to misunderstand.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shangwu glared angrily at Lei Zhentian, who was standing upright with a fawning smile on his face. He knew that Lei Zhentian must have reported this directly to Si Buhui.

Otherwise, strong individuals of the "unwavering in the face of death" level generally spend 95% of their time cultivating and protecting the Great Xia Dynasty, and apart from their disciples, they hardly pay attention to educating the younger generation.

Especially for students in their first to fourth year of university who are majoring in martial arts.

Upon seeing the conversation among the elders, Zhan Taimingyue and Lu Yingzi realized that the atmosphere today seemed somewhat unusual, and quickly turned to look at Yuwen Changkong, the ninth holy son of the Starry Sky Martial Hall.

Although there was no speech, no forced sound transmission, and no mental transmission.

However, Yuwen Changkong understood what the two meant in an instant. However, he just shook his head in confusion because when he came over in the morning, Lei Zhentian had mysteriously told him to come and be a witness.

but.

After carefully observing the Third Elder's actions, as well as the unusual behavior of his master Lei Zhentian and Cheng Shangwu, Yuwen Changkong vaguely guessed what was going on.

Among the elders of the Starry Sky Martial Hall, only three elders do not have personal disciples. Two of them do not want to take on personal disciples, but prefer the educational approach of having many students.

Only Si Bu Hui stands out from the crowd. Over the years, even though the Great Xia government has made numerous requests, Si Bu Hui is simply too shameless and has a terrible temper, so they have always ignored them.

He neither seeks out personal disciples nor acts as a teacher.

Over time, the Great Xia government stopped caring about this troublemaker and just focused on carrying out its assigned guardian duties.

Originally, Yuwen Changkong and the other Holy Sons of the Martial Hall thought that Si Buhui disliked children, but now it seems that this is not the case.

If we were to name the happiest person in the entire room, it would undoubtedly be Yue Feng, the captain of the Sharp Sword Enforcement Team.

He never expected that bringing Shen Bailian and Yuwen Changkong into the picture would bring unexpected joy. Not only did he gain the assistance of two peak-level martial artists at the Sea Opening Realm, but he also gained the help of the Third Elder of the Starry Sky Martial Hall.

It is said that the martial arts realm of the Unrepentant One has reached the Divine Palace Realm. Even if this rumor is inaccurate, he still has at least the strength of the peak of the Embracing Moon Realm.

Within the Great Xia territory, the suppression of the Zhou Tian Star Array makes it more than enough to kill a divine favored one.

Of course, the most important thing is that he will never regret dying here. If the God of Wealth escapes, he will definitely not stand by and do nothing. Yue Feng will not need to ask his superiors for help, and he will not need to share too much credit.

If the plan goes smoothly, the five members of the Sharp Sword Enforcement Team will receive at least 60% of the credit, with the remaining 40% going to other staff members.

Now we just need to wait for the risk assessment to be completed before we can start the plan.

Thinking of the abundant cultivation resources that would follow, Yue Feng couldn't help but swallow hard. This time, with the help of those cultivation resources, he had a very high chance of directly becoming a Moon Embracing Realm expert.

……

As time passed, nearly two hours quickly went by.

"Whoo~"

Shen Bailian raised his hand and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead. The sweat slid between his fingers, leaving wet streaks. His back was soaked, and his clothes clung tightly to his body.

Just as Shen Bailian completely relaxed, a faint voice sounded in his ear.

"Young friend, I see that you have extraordinary bones and are a martial arts prodigy. If you become my disciple, I will surely help you master your skills and dominate the martial arts world!"

"!!!"

Shen Bailian's heart was instantly stirred with ripples. He looked at the ordinary-looking middle-aged man beside him with a puzzled expression. He wasn't curious about why the other man was talking nonsense.

Rather, it was how the other party managed to cross the soft force field that was strong enough to block a martial artist at the Opening Sea Realm for a moment and suddenly appear beside him.
