Chapter 508 Divine Body [1]

Inside the venue.

The terrifying scoreline froze in that instant.

A deathly silence immediately fell over the surroundings.

Dragon Hunter was startled.

This Lü Yang must be the Lü Yang from their Liwu No.1 Middle School.

With so many people, it's inevitable that some candidates will have the same name.

However, in such cases, the school of the student with the same name is usually indicated.

The name in front of us has no markings, which means that there is only one person named Lü Yang in this secret realm.

just.

One billion points? Isn't that a bit too outrageous?

It is important to know that in the history of the National College Entrance Examination (NCEE)...

Only a handful of candidates are capable of accumulating 100 million points.

Of course, this enormous number of points is only a part of the whole.

The most shocking thing was that as the name 'Lv Yang' rose to prominence, the names of the other top-ranking candidates gradually faded into the background and eventually disappeared completely.

The second place winner was changed from someone with over a million points to a student with only a few hundred thousand points.

this circumstance occurs.

There is only one possibility.

That means all those people were defeated by him at this moment, all their points were taken away, and they fell out of the top 100.

Only in this way can it be explained.

But how could that be possible?

From the moment we left until now, it's only been less than ten minutes.

Even if these candidates lined up to be killed by the other side, it couldn't be this fast.

Based on the data analysis, it is not difficult to make a judgment.

There is a clear anomaly in 'Lv Yang's' current points situation.

Even though he plundered all the points from the top 100 candidates.

The theoretical maximum value should not exceed 500 million.

However, its current points are a staggering one billion, a figure far exceeding what is reasonable.

Therefore, we can infer that there are only two possibilities:
1. The points-based statistical system within the secret territory contains significant errors.

2. In addition to plundering, Lü Yang also carried out a large-scale extermination of monsters during this period.

Considering the reliability of the system's operation in this secret realm over the years, the second explanation is undoubtedly more reasonable.

Even so, to obtain nearly 500 million points by hunting monsters in a short period of time, the scale and efficiency of the slaughter are unbelievable.

This is something that ordinary test takers simply cannot do.

Therefore, regardless of the circumstances, this anomaly must be thoroughly investigated and verified.

Just for a moment.

Many people have thought of this.

But I want to think about it.

They also have no right to access it; this matter depends on how the higher-ups handle it.

Think of this.

Everyone's eyes turned in the same direction.

In the very center of the judging panel sat an elderly man dressed in a white robe.

He clasped his hands together over his abdomen, his fingertips gently stroking the jade thumb ring on his other hand.

As the person in charge of the third district's assessment, the old man naturally noticed the abnormal fluctuations in the points rankings.

"interesting……"

A strange light flashed in the old man's eyes, and his white eyebrows were slightly raised.

"Let me see what's going on!"

He raised his withered finger and gently tapped it in the air.

The air rippled like water, and a clear holographic projection unfolded.

The scene clearly shows the secret canyon where Hu Qi is located.

In the pouring rain, a figure stood there, somewhat indistinct.

There was no one around, and even the traces of the monsters had vanished.

Upon seeing this, the old man frowned slightly, lightly swiped his fingertips, and the images replayed rapidly as if time were flowing backward.

The image freezes on a period of ten minutes or so earlier, which is the time before the opponent's ranking skyrocketed.

However, after seeing the scene on the screen, a collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the surrounding seats.

Hu Qi was enveloped in golden light, moving through the canyon as if it were empty.

Wherever it passed, examinees and monsters alike were knocked away, blasted to their deaths, and turned into specks of light that vanished, their points completely stolen.

The slain monsters reassembled at the other end of the canyon, forming a bizarre cycle, only to be slaughtered by Hu Qi once again.

Upon seeing this, the old man's gaze sharpened.

"Exploiting loopholes in the rules of the secret realm to create a closed loop for score farming."

His eyes were fixed intently on the invincible figure in the picture.

"However, discovering this vulnerability is already remarkable, but being able to execute it is even more remarkable."

Indeed, even if ordinary test takers discovered this mechanism, they would have no chance of replicating such a feat.

Those hordes of monsters were extremely ferocious, and it was always the test takers who had to team up to hunt them down.

However, it is impossible for them to rampage and slaughter indiscriminately like this.

This candidate actually managed to do this all by himself; it's simply incredible.

Of course, besides that, what caught their attention the most was the dazzling golden bell phantom that appeared on Hu Qi's body.

"Is this person a martial arts master?"

Saw this scene.

The expressions on everyone's faces changed drastically.

Those who are here have all practiced martial arts and are naturally very familiar with this situation.

The ability to project one's inner energy is one of the hallmarks of a martial arts master.

Moreover, judging from this, he is definitely not a beginner in martial arts.

Upon discovering this, everyone was deeply shocked.

With such skill and at such a young age, the term "genius" is no longer sufficient to describe it.

This is an absolutely monstrous talent!
"Principal Long Lie, as a candidate from your Liwu No. 1 High School, are you aware of the situation regarding Lü Yang?"

The old man looked at the dragon hunter sitting to one side and asked.

"Well... I don't know much about it either. Lu Yang reached 100 calories of Qi and Blood three days ago, which is why he chose the 'Golden Bell Body Refining Technique'."

But now it seems that the other party has mastered this technique to a high level..."

Dragon Hunter's expression was also somewhat surprised and uncertain.

Then, he recounted what had happened.

After hearing what Dragon Hunter had to say...

The people around him were all different.

But one thing was the same: their expressions were as if they had seen a ghost.

He had only come into contact with the technique three days ago, and then broke through two major realms in succession, mastering the technique and reaching the level of Martial Master.

Is this something a human can do?

Compared to others.

The old man's eyes flashed.

For some reason, a look of joy flashed across his face.

"Could it be that..."

Think about this.

He tapped his palm a few times in the air, summoning his personal terminal.

We began reporting the situation here.

If his guess is true.

This time, I'm afraid we're going to make a fortune!

"what do you mean?"

Seeing this, Long Lie was somewhat puzzled, wondering what the other party meant, always leaving things unsaid.

"You don't need to know the specifics. Your task is to ensure the safety of this student 'Lü Yang' after the assessment."

I have already reported this matter, and a high-ranking official will personally come to meet with me.

He paused at this point, staring intently at the other person.

"Remember, before this, we absolutely cannot allow him to make any mistakes! If we do well, this time your Liwu No.1 Middle School might even rise to prominence."

If what he expected was true, the significance of this matter had already exceeded his control.

This is a tremendous good thing not only for him, but for the entire Cangyuan Star.

"The big shot up there?"

Dragon Hunter was startled.

However, considering the incredible speed of cultivation that Lü Yang has displayed, this can be explained.

……

Their conversation naturally attracted the attention of others, including admissions officers from various martial arts academies.

"There really is such a monstrous talent?"

Without time to think, these people began asking Dragon Hunter for information about Lü Yang.

In response, Dragon Hunter feigned ignorance and gave a vague answer, stating that he also did not know.

He then excused himself and hurriedly left the virtual meeting room.

"Xiaoxuan, I seem to remember, you said your younger brother's name was Lü Yang, right?!"

At this time.

Lan Qi's voice rang out from the side.

Yu Danxuan's expression froze.

To be honest, she didn't have much affection for this 'younger brother'.

If it weren't for her mother Yu Wenyue's instructions, she would never have chosen the other person to be her fellow cultivator.

But what happened now? The other party actually broke through to become a Martial Master, and the intensity of his true energy outwards is something that someone who has just entered the Martial Master realm cannot possess.

How exactly did they manage to do that?

For a moment, her thoughts were somewhat chaotic.

Hearing Lanqi's question.

She then came to her senses.

"Yes, Professor! My younger brother's name is definitely Lü Yang, but I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lanqi interrupted her impatiently.

Lan Qi was completely unaware of the strangeness in Yu Danxuan's tone; instead, her eyes lit up.

"Tell me in detail about your younger brother!"

"You two siblings must have a good relationship, right? We'll go to Liyang No.1 Middle School together later."

"No matter what, we must recruit him into our Black Dust Academy!"

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Deep within the secret realm, in the heart of the canyon.

The rain poured down, enveloping the entire valley.

Hu Qi suddenly frowned, just a moment ago.

He keenly caught a prying gaze.

The gaze was subtle, but he still noticed it.

Hu Qi smiled slightly at this, knowing without thinking that it must be someone from the outside world, or the examiner of this secret realm observing from the shadows.

However, this is normal; it would be illogical if such a commotion went unnoticed.

And this was all part of his plan.

His fingertips lightly brushed against the jade pendant at his waist, the numbers on it already being sufficient.

Now, he no longer needs to collect points.

Anyway, killing these monsters doesn't modify any values.

Hu Qi looked up at the sky, where lightning flashed in the blood-red clouds. There were still a few hours before the secret realm closed.

Think about this.

He raised his hand and threw several punches at the rock wall on one side.

—Boom! Boom!

The fist, imbued with true energy, pierced the air, and the rock wall cracked in response.

Amidst the flying pebbles, once the dust settled, a cave about ten feet in diameter had taken shape.

Hu Qi stepped in casually, his clothes fluttering as his true energy surged, and the water vapor around him instantly evaporated, turning into wisps of white smoke.

When the smoke cleared, the clothes and hair had dried completely.

He then sat cross-legged inside the cave, quietly waiting for the assessment to end.

……

By comparison.

Those candidates who were crushed and eliminated by Hu Qi were not so calm; many of them were on the verge of collapse.

After painstakingly accumulating points for over two days, and with the assessment nearing its end, having them all snatched away at the last moment, leaving you with zero points, is a blow that would be hard for anyone to bear.

Ink tanks are a typical example.

He stared intently at the glaring "0" on his ID card.

As a formal martial artist, he felt dizzy and his legs went weak.

Recalling the scene just now, his proud mid-stage martial arts strength was utterly insignificant in front of his opponent, and he was crushed like an ant.

However, this feeling of despair did not last long.

Mo Cang quickly adjusted his mindset and started taking action again.

With only a few hours left before the assessment ends, it's too early to give up. We must seize the last moments and do our best to accumulate points.

Many test takers share this view.

After a brief silence, the entire secret realm erupted in chaos once more, with the fighting becoming even more intense than before.

Everyone understood that this was their last chance.

……

It didn't take long.

The three-day assessment period has ended.

The people inside the secret realm were enveloped in beams of white light, and then left the secret realm.

Hu Qi allowed himself to be enveloped by the white light.

There was no resistance whatsoever.

The surrounding scenery suddenly changed.

When it becomes clear again.

He had already returned to the playground of Liwu No.1 Middle School.

Around him, streaks of white light flashed, revealing candidates from No. 1 High School.

"You are Lü Yang?"

At this time.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

This was a young man dressed in silver armor, tall as an iron tower, with long, snow-white hair casually draped over his shoulders, the strands of which shimmered with a faint starlight.

Looking at Hu Qi, he smiled and extended his hand.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Wu Feng, and I am the executive officer of this solar system, codenamed G61939."

Hear the words.

Hu Qi's expression shifted slightly.

An Executive is a federally appointed ruler who is the highest-ranking person in a solar system.

I want to take this position.

Only someone with at least the strength of a Martial Emperor or Martial Saint would be qualified.

He thought this to himself, but his face showed no sign of it. Instead, he perfectly revealed an expression of being flattered and quickly extended his right hand to shake hands with him.

The moment their hands touched, a subtle and hidden power fluctuation emanated from the other's palm, creeping in silently like a wisp of silk.

Hu Qi remained unmoved, letting the power circulate within his body.

Soon, that force was withdrawn.

The two then released their hands.

"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! It truly is a divine body! I never expected that such a promising talent would emerge from Cangyuan Star!"

Wu Feng's eyes lit up, and he said "good" three times in a row.

A smile appeared on his face.

Looking at Hu Qi in front of him, his gaze was as if he were staring at a rare, protected animal.

The path of martial arts, though fraught with difficulties and dangers, is never short of exceptionally talented individuals.

Those with exceptional talent often achieve twice the results with half the effort during cultivation, making rapid progress.

Among these martial arts geniuses, there is a special kind of existence, and such individuals are extremely rare.

They possess unparalleled talent, and cultivation is as easy as breathing for them.

This type of person has another name.

Divine body.

Those with such a physique, as long as they do not perish prematurely, will naturally achieve the realm of Martial Emperor.

As for the ultimate realm of martial arts, the Martial God, it cannot be reached by physical constitution alone.

Insight and opportunity are both indispensable.

But that's the case.

It is terrifying enough. Compared to ordinary martial artists, the peerless geniuses who possess this 'divine body' can grow rapidly in a very short time. Moreover, due to the inherent advantages of the divine body, they can overpower those of the same level and even fight against those of higher levels.

For this reason, those who possess a divine body are revered by the world as having the "appearance of an emperor," symbolizing unparalleled martial arts talent.

After the investigation, it was found that the astonishing true energy and physical strength within 'Lü Yang' were not something a normal martial artist could possess.

In addition, there's such a fast cultivation speed.

Only a divine body can explain this.

As for why his previous performance was unremarkable, that's not hard to explain.

According to current knowledge, only a very small percentage of divine bodies are awakened innately; most awaken only after reaching a certain age and their bodies have fully developed.
