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

Chapter 56 Volume

Wow~
Shen Bailian stood up from the bathtub, water droplets slowly sliding down his strong muscle curves, highlighting his tough skin that seemed to glow with a hazy white light, like a flawless piece of jade, giving people a sense of indestructibility.

Three days apart feels like three autumns.

Not to mention more than ten days of bloody trials?

Shen Bailian was no longer that naive boy. Standing at 1.86 meters tall with his muscular build, he looked even more imposing and powerful. His dark eyes were sharp and piercing, with a hint of ferocity that gave off a strong sense of pressure.

"Indeed, only real combat can cultivate true martial artists."

A surging power was emerging from within his body. This was not intentional, but a spontaneous behavior of his body. Subconsciously, he was still in the Sanqing Mountain.

Although this state is quite physically demanding, this negative effect is negligible compared to the powerful recovery effect of the Iron Body skill.

Most importantly, this state brings benefits.

Just like the 100-meter acceleration in a race car, Shen Bailian needs to go from a relaxed state to a state of full effort before the trial. There is bound to be a buffer process, which takes about three seconds.

And now?
It only takes a little over a second.

When fighting in the arena, you can gain the upper hand against most opponents, since a real battle often happens in the blink of an eye.

After drying her hair and putting on her washed and dried clothes, Shen Bailian left her room, went next door, and rang the doorbell.

ding dong~
After a while~
"Big brother, it's only five o'clock, why are you making me get up?" Wei Peng slowly opened the door, pointed to the time on his smart bracelet, and complained, "I just finished a day of trials, can't I get a good night's sleep?"

"Look at the sun outside?"

"No, we're at an altitude of 10,000 meters right now, so seeing the sun at this point isn't unusual at all, is it?"

"Oh, that makes sense."

Shen Bailian thought about it and realized that it made sense. They were on a floating city, so it was not surprising that they could see the sun at this time. So he said, "I'll go to the cafeteria by myself first."

"Hey, wait a minute." Wei Peng quickly called out to the boy. Thinking about the results of his trial, he felt ashamed to face his parents again, and his fighting spirit was ignited. He wanted to struggle one last time before he died, so he spoke:
"Since you're already awake, I'll go with you."

At least let his parents know that he is willing to work hard.

"Row."

Shen Bailian smiled slightly.

Speaking of which, Wei Peng was really unlucky in the trial.

Upon landing, we encountered a Heart-Eating Spider, which was around level three in strength. Fortunately, the Heart-Eating Spider was full and had no interest in dealing with us.

After escaping, Wei Peng killed a few weak ferocious beasts and went to a supply point, where he encountered another ruthless person—Wu Gang.

All fifty people were wiped out by Wu Gang in less than three minutes.

This is bad enough; not only did I lose 40% of my points, but I also developed a psychological trauma from the cut.

Finally, on the second day before the trial was to end, he was attacked again by the pack of wolves that Chen Yunsheng had sent out earlier. He hesitated for only a moment before firing the signal flare.

And so, the trial came to an end.

Fortunately, Wei Peng managed to qualify for the next round based on the points he earned.

As the sun rose, golden sunlight pierced through the thin clouds and spilled onto the boundless blue sky, creating a gradient of colors from deep blue to light blue, and then to pure white. A deep blue energy shield shielded the scorching air and ultraviolet rays.

Following the instructions of their smart bracelets, Shen Bailian and Wei Peng walked through the living area inside the Xuan Niao floating city.

There are many soldiers, surveillance cameras, and mechanical security personnel patrolling in an orderly manner. Although this is a residential area, the sky is no longer human territory, and we may face attacks from ferocious beasts at any time.

Soon, the two arrived at the canteen. Since it was only a little past five in the morning, most of the people inside were soldiers who had gotten up early for training and were eating breakfast, while the examinees, exhausted, were still fast asleep. They would rest here for two days, mainly to await the post-battle settlement. Over a hundred participants had participated in the battle at Yujing Peak, and the key issue was how to distribute the credit fairly.

They will be released when the Xuan Bird passes by Bozhou City. About three days later, the real Bozhou City Martial Arts Tournament will begin. That stage is the one that everyone will be watching.

This grand event will be broadcast live across the entire internet for the first time in history.

Swish!Swish!Swish!
The sharp blade gleamed coldly in the sunlight, like lightning slicing through the night sky. Sharp explosions rang out frequently in the air, like a violent storm, making it hard to breathe and chilling the heart.

"Sigh~"

Looking at the sharp blade, even though they had already created a distance of five or six meters, Wei Peng still felt a chill run down his spine. This scene reminded him of the feeling he had when facing Wu Gang—the same speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness, the same irresistible force.

"We need to get further away, otherwise it's impossible to get into the zone."

Wei Peng thought to himself, then moved another five or six meters to the side before starting his workout.

Shen Bailian was completely unaware of Wei Peng's subtle actions.

Compared to the Sanqing Mountains, here there's no need to worry about attacks from ferocious beasts. Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. All kinds of war weapons are in a state of readiness and can be fired at any time. There are also high-level martial artists like He Haizhou.
Therefore, Shen Bailian has devoted all his attention to the basic sword techniques.

He had a feeling that his physical attributes would improve today.

At the same time, a series of prompts appeared on the panel.

Your basic swordsmanship skill has been improved; experience points +1.

Your character level has increased, experience points +1.

【.】

As time passed, the two suns gradually rose higher and higher.

five minutes.

ten minutes.

twenty minutes
Shen Bailian showed no intention of stopping. The long sword in his hand became increasingly explosive, whistling with a violent force. This immense physical strength left Wei Peng speechless. It was the first time he had ever seen a young man in such a state.

One minute on stage, ten years off the stage.

Wei Peng finally understood what the Innate Horizontal Body Training meant; the key was in training.

"Ok?"

When Wu Gang arrived at the training ground, he was stunned when he saw the boy wielding the long sword. He quickly checked the time and found that it was only 5:55.

"Hiss~, isn't this guy tired?"

Wu Gang could tell from the beads of sweat dripping from the young man's brow that he had been cultivating for quite some time.

Even he was astonished that the ability to maintain such intense training after a high-intensity battle was remarkable.

After all, mental fatigue is harder to eliminate than physical fatigue.

If it weren't for the biological clock he'd developed over the years, Wu Gang wouldn't have been able to get up this morning either.

He didn't disturb Shen Bailian and the other person's cultivation. He casually picked up a long sword from the weapon rack, chose a spacious place, and began practicing his swordsmanship.

Since we're a step behind in terms of time, we need to train even harder!
