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

"It's so dark..." Tian Ming walked slowly down the bustling street, brushing past many martial artists. He looked up at the thick blood-red and black clouds in the sky, where he could hardly see any light.

Furthermore, there was a strong smell of blood and stench in the air, like the rotting remains of a ferocious beast that had been fermenting for forty-nine days.

Recalling his experiences over the past six months, Tian Ming was filled with emotion, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

As for why he has now changed back to his original name instead of "Destiny".

The reason is also very simple.

The fact that Tian Ming changed his name to "Tianming" caused quite a stir within the Tiangang Academy for some unknown reason. The controversy escalated, and the Tian Ming name change was met with a petition signed by two to three thousand martial arts students to resist it.

It should be noted that this number of martial arts students accounts for nearly half to sixty percent of this year's students at the Tiangang Academy, and 99% of them are martial arts students from various combat divisions.

This incident caused quite a stir on the campus forum, and even Tian Ming's personal information was directly exposed.

In the end, to avoid causing a bigger uproar, under Xu Changqing's guidance, Tian Ming was persuaded to change his name back to his original name.

"Excuse me, little kid, don't block the way."

Suddenly, a deep, electronic voice rang in Tian Ming's ears, followed by a chilling and irresistible force on his shoulder, causing him to stagger.

"you……"

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean'?" The bear's ears twitched slightly, then it turned around impatiently and arrogantly, looking at the small man who only reached its upper thigh, and said brutally, "What is it?"

All of a sudden.

"Gulp~" Tian Ming stared blankly at the towering figure before him, which resembled a mountain. The thick, yellowish-brown hair, the steel prosthetic limbs covered in the strong smell of blood, and the data eyes that shimmered with light made his scalp tingle. He lowered his head and stammered, "N-nothing.

"Tch~" The bear let out a mocking laugh, turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

"So cowardly, I thought there was going to be a good show."

"That's enough, that's enough, the show's over."

"Judging from his clothes, he looks like a martial arts student from the Heavenly Gang Academy. I didn't expect him to be such a coward." A man looked at Tian Ming, who was standing there dumbfounded, and laughed loudly.

"Don't be so arrogant, he's from the Heavenly Gang Academy..."

"What are you afraid of? This is Hulao City. I don't believe that the Heavenly Gang Academy would have the nerve to stand up for a coward!"

"..."

Hearing the continuous mocking voices around him, Tian Ming felt a surge of shame rush to his head. Like a wolf running away with its tail between its legs, he scrambled out of the crowd in a disheveled state.

……

At dawn, the sky was just beginning to lighten.

In the southern region of the Great Xia Dynasty, near the South China Sea, and only a few hundred thousand miles away on the horizon, lies a majestic city without walls, surrounded by the ever-flowing Luo River.

In the very center of this city that spans almost a thousand miles, a magnificent golden pillar of light, like a pillar of strength that stands between heaven and earth, soars into the sky, while simultaneously possessing a boundless and majestic power that is held back yet not unleashed.

And around this golden pillar of light, countless points of light floated.

Among these floating specks of light, some were a vibrant crimson, others a deep blue like the waves of a blue sea… and still others a rich, earthy yellow, symbolizing the magnanimity of nature…

However, the main color is still a noble and classic gold.

These points of light, arranged according to the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams formation, presented a terrifying phantom, blotting out the sky and completely enveloping this city that stretched for thousands of miles.

If someone's spiritual power reaches the second-tier Spirit Stream Realm, they can clearly see that those floating points of light are light and shadow banners suspended thousands of meters in the air.

It exists between illusion and reality, like a dream.

These banners of light and shadow transformed into array nodes, forming a massive bowl-shaped light curtain that encompassed the entire project, like ripples spreading across a shimmering surface of water.

And its colors change with the stars in the sky.

Above this enormous light screen, there are also phantom images of the four divine beasts—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—formed from the vast and boundless primordial energy of heaven and earth, constantly swirling and dancing, creating a truly magnificent sight.

One can't help but marvel at what a magnificent city it is!
This is Kyoto, the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty.

It is also known as the Imperial City, the Holy City... or even the Divine Palace!

As the view zooms in, one can clearly see that around the central pillar of light in Kyoto, there are thirty-three tall gates shimmering with a hazy white light.

It contains a universe within, a hidden paradise within.

At the highest point, at the top of the thirty-third heaven, there is a tall portal called Qiankun, which is the first cave heaven discovered in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Although Qiankun Cave Heaven is not the largest in scale or the best in quality among the thirty-three heavens, it has important milestone significance for the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

At this moment, some of the powerful military officers and some related civilian personnel of the Great Xia Dynasty had gathered in the Qiankun Cave Heaven and were holding an emergency temporary meeting.

Inside the huge conference room, several virtual projectors sat in a circle, while in the center, several light screens displayed messages from various self-media outlets.

These news headlines all pointed the finger at a teenager.

In the center of the light screen were three three-dimensional projections, one of which was Shen Bailian, and on either side of him were Duan Wuyai and Si Buhui.

a long time.

"The general situation should be fairly clear to everyone here." Suddenly, an elderly man in a plaid shirt with a full head of silver hair adjusted his reading glasses with the middle finger of his right hand, smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"According to the meeting agenda, the next step is for everyone to freely express their opinions. We also hope that all newcomers will actively participate, identify problems, raise questions, and solve problems."

A silence.

This matter involves many people, and the protagonist of this matter has already been taken as a disciple by a renowned Divine Palace Realm expert.

No one dared to provoke that reckless madman.

"Elder Sheng, is the veracity of this matter confirmed?" A clear, cold voice rang out. The speaker was a man dressed in ice-blue clothes, who looked at the old man in a plaid shirt.

Wang Tao, the second holy son of the Taiji Martial Hall, is a cultivator in seclusion and a reserve member of the elders' team. He is at the mid-stage of the Embracing Moon Realm, and his specific physical fitness level is currently unknown.

A hermit is a martial artist who spends most of his life cultivating in seclusion, without ever being seen by the outside world.

"It's confirmed." Elder Sheng nodded and smiled, "As soon as we received the news, we sent Kong Chaowu, the city lord of Bozhou City, to investigate."

"The martial arts potential of Wei Peng, Huang Xu, and Gao Lei has indeed been greatly enhanced, and they are now fully capable of obtaining Sun-level Dragon Gate Seeds on their own."

"The same is true for Shen Zhenxing and his wife."

As a veteran expert at the Embracing Moon Realm, Kong Chaowu possessed extraordinary eyesight and exceptional mental perception. Naturally, he could see right through the muscles and bones of martial arts apprentices like Wei Peng.

Whether one's martial arts potential has improved can be roughly judged.

In particular, Wei Peng's body shape changed drastically in a short period of time.

"To be able to stir up such a large-scale public opinion storm in such a short period of time," a red-haired woman with delicate features said calmly, her hands clasped in front of her ample breasts. "There must be a mastermind behind this."

As soon as the woman spoke, the surrounding air seemed to become scorching hot.

The woman's code name is Phoenix, and her full name is Undying Heavenly Phoenix. Her real name is top secret and unknown.

On the surface, he broke through to the Divine Palace Realm in 311 of the New Era, and in 315 of the New Era, he officially accepted the codename Phoenix, becoming the sixth-generation inheritor of the Vermilion Bird, one of the Four Symbols Guardians. "We must find out who's behind this." A gentle, middle-aged man, upon hearing this, smiled warmly and chuckled softly, "In my opinion, we should take this opportunity to fish out those monsters and demons, and then eliminate them all."

Although the middle-aged man had a fair complexion and looked like a scholar, the words that came out of his mouth were chilling, as cold as the dead of winter.

But the people in the conference room seemed to take it all in stride.

Because the middle-aged man's code name is Tiger, and his full name is Geng Metal White Tiger, his real name is top secret and cannot be known.

On the surface, he broke through to the Divine Palace Realm in 315 of the New Era, and in 318 of the New Era, he officially accepted the code name Tiger and became the eighth generation successor of the White Tiger, one of the Four Symbols Guardians.

"no!"

"This is too dangerous."

"Based on past experience, it's highly likely that those high-ranking divine favorites are once again pulling the strings behind the scenes," a woman in a formal dress said softly.
"Therefore, I think the first thing to do is to quickly summon Shen Bailian to the capital and protect him, so as to cut off the idea of ​​those behind-the-scenes manipulators at the source."

"Correct!"

"That's right. Instead of discussing who the mastermind is, we should protect the kid caught in the middle of this mess."

"This kid Shen Bailian is probably no less capable than those Martial Hall Saint Sons, right?"

"What do you mean by not being inferior in the slightest? That's clearly called being the best!" someone said. "A seventeen-year-old martial artist at the Sea Opening Realm, in which era has such a thing appeared? In which Martial Hall's Holy Son has ever achieved that?"

"But it's strange, how exactly did he manage to do that?"

"It's very simple. If you can enhance others' martial arts potential, you can definitely enhance your own. If you enhance your martial arts potential multiple times, won't your cultivation speed double?"

"What you said makes sense."

"..."

This single stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the meeting room immediately erupted in discussions, with many attendees nodding in agreement.

"Ha~"

Upon seeing this, the burly man sitting not far from Gengjin White Tiger let out a barely perceptible snort, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

Upon seeing this, the woman in the formal dress blushed slightly, a deep joy welling up inside her. Seeing that Elder Sheng had not made any statement, but her long-cultivated manners prevented her expression from changing in the slightest, she continued with a smile, "And I have another win-win suggestion."

"Judging from Shen Bailian's deeds in helping Wei Peng and others improve their martial arts potential, he is a person who values ​​loyalty and righteousness."

"Therefore, I believe that a martial arts student like him would not choose to stand idly by when the Great Xia is facing such enormous pressure. However, it is inevitable that one person will be physically and mentally exhausted from doing such a large amount of work."

"Therefore, the best option is to exchange for Shen Bailian's method to enhance his martial arts potential. Of course, as the price for the exchange, we can provide him with all the cultivation resources he needs before reaching the Divine Palace Realm, as well as the celestial medicine needed to break through to the Divine Palace Realm, and expert guidance..."

"Before coming here, I had already prepared the relevant data projections." As she spoke, the woman in the dress tapped her smart bracelet, and a three-dimensional big data projection model appeared in the center.

It's clear they came prepared.

"Even if the effects of the copied abilities are weakened, even based on the median effect, it is still possible to increase the number of martial artists in the Great Xia Dynasty's Life Establishment Realm by 250%, the number of martial artists in the Mortal Transformation Realm by 178%, and the number of martial artists in the Sea Opening Realm by 16 percentage points within five years..."

All of a sudden.

boom!
"what?"

"How is that possible?! Aren't your figures a bit exaggerated?"

"..." The room erupted in a cacophony of voices, the once-calm conference room suddenly filled with gasps and exclamations of surprise.

Regardless of anything else, this data is simply too astonishing.

As for data fabrication?

It's impossible. Anyone who can get here is either a powerful figure or someone's spokesperson, but without exception, they are all experts above the Sea Opening Realm.

There are many experts at the Embracing Moon Realm, and there are also experts at the Divine Palace Realm.

For martial artists at these two stages, they gained a certain understanding of the wealth and resources of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Furthermore, its brain operates at a speed comparable to a simple supercomputer. Although it cannot create big data extrapolation models like a supercomputer, it can still identify and fill in gaps in its understanding.

If there are obvious errors, someone will definitely point them out.

In the past, a technological revolution that could increase the number of martial artists at the Life Establishment Realm by double digits would have been considered a miracle.

Even when medical pods and Lungmen seed technology first appeared, the number of martial artists at the Life Establishment Realm only barely doubled within five years.

Now it can be increased to 2.5 times the original.

As the backbone of the force, the Transcendent Realm warriors and the Sea Opening Realm warriors can increase their strength by 1.78 times and 1.16 times respectively.

This is only five years. What if it were ten, twenty or fifty years?
It's not impossible for everyone to become a martial artist at the Establishment Realm.

A strong and solid core force can lay a sufficiently solid foundation for the explosive growth of high-end talent.

Furthermore, what's even more alarming is that this big data extrapolation model is based on the median of the replication effect, indicating that there is still a much broader space for exploration.

"This matter concerns the life and death of the Great Xia Dynasty," a ponytail-wearing man sitting opposite a woman in a formal dress stood up and loudly proposed. "Therefore, I suggest that even if we have to use the Mind Imprint again, we must protect Shen Bailian and absolutely cannot let the person behind the scenes succeed so easily."

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

"..."

As soon as the man with the ponytail finished speaking, within moments, attendees in the meeting room began to raise their right hands in agreement.

But a few remained steadfast.

Tiger and Phoenix closed their eyes and hummed an unknown tune, looking like they were taking a rest; Wang Tao and the other attendees who didn't participate much in the discussion looked like they were watching a good show.

"Elder Sheng." The woman in formal attire tensed up upon seeing the situation in the meeting room. She looked nervously at the smiling elderly man in the plaid shirt and politely asked, "What do you think?"

"Your suggestion is excellent, I agree." Old Master Sheng's expression remained unchanged as he squinted and smiled as he savored the tea in front of him, nodding approvingly.

"Since you don't object, Elder Sheng, that's wonderful." The woman in the dress breathed a sigh of relief, her tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and the corners of her red lips turned up almost imperceptibly.

Extremely beautiful and captivating.

Upon seeing this, some of the attendees in the meeting room immediately relaxed.

"Elder Sheng, let's issue the summons to Shen Bailian now, lest something go wrong." The woman in formal attire pressed her advantage and continued to offer suggestions.

"No rush." ​​Elder Sheng slowly put down the quilt in his hand, squinted his eyes, and smiled, "Since it was your suggestion, then you should negotiate with Si Bu Hui."

In an instant, the entire conference room fell silent.

It was eerily quiet; you could hear a pin drop.

Only faint breathing could be heard.

After a long time.

"Sheng, Sheng... Elder Sheng, you... you're joking..." (End of Chapter)
