I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 436 Spear Technique 'Piercing Rainbow', Breakthrough to Late Stage of Ming Jin!

Time flows.

In the blink of an eye, more than half of November has passed.

The assessment of the extraordinary individuals is also drawing to a close.

Now, there are only three days left until the first stage of the assessment.

Many geniuses emerged during this period.

First is Wan Chen, who achieved a double S-level rating last year.

His results were outstanding.

In particular, his willpower score has increased from 490.5 points last year to 492.1 points this year.

This score is the highest score to date.

However, compared to the huge improvement in his willpower, his physical fitness improved very little.

Despite taking the extraordinary potion, he only improved by 0.1 points due to his previous serious injuries.

If he hadn't been injured, he probably could have improved by at least 0.5 points.

But everything has two sides.

Without that experience, his willpower wouldn't have been able to improve so much.

If we disregard academic performance, Wan Chen will most likely be the top student this year.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that new geniuses will emerge in the remaining three days.

However, the possibility of that is relatively low!
Apart from Wan Chen.

To date, a total of 22 double S-level geniuses have emerged.

Nearly two-thirds of them were people who passed the assessment last year.

Such as Su Ze, Huangfu Yao, Wu Haotian, Shao Shuai, and others.

As for women like Wang Yuxuan and Ye Mengzhu, their willpower also reached S-level, only their physical fitness was slightly worse.

There is nothing we can do about this.

In terms of physical fitness, women are at a certain inherent disadvantage compared to men.

Fortunately, even if your physical fitness is a little lacking, it won't affect anything during the final assessment.

Like last year.

None of the three—Situ Yanran, Ji Ruxue, and Liu Xiaoyan—reached the S-level in physical fitness.

Among them, Liu Xiaoyan had just barely passed the threshold of Grade A.

However, she ended up coming in third place in the final assessment.

Therefore, passing the first test is sufficient.

A higher score doesn't mean much.

With Wang Yuxuan and Ye Mengzhu's scores, as long as they don't make mistakes in the cultural assessment, they are basically guaranteed admission.

In addition to the same people from last year.

Many new faces have emerged this year.

Take Zhou Yichen for example, his physical attributes are still a little short of S-level.

However, with a willpower score of 490.6 and a physical fitness score of 568.3, one can certainly pass the assessment.

The competition is much fiercer today.

But in reality, it doesn't have much impact on those who score high; it just raises the passing score.

Last year, in many continents, a score of 1236 was generally enough to qualify.

But judging from this year's situation, it will probably have to reach 1239 points!

This is even with the expansion of enrollment quotas.

If it's the same as last year, the score is estimated to reach 1240.

However, the final score will only be known after all the assessments are completed.

……

Xizhou.

Qu Yuchen finally left the snowy region.

Tomorrow is his turn for the assessment!

"I wonder if I can pass the test now?"

Without taking the extraordinary potion left to him by the ancestor, Qu Yuchen was certain he wouldn't have been able to pass.

After all, he couldn't even reach 550 points before.

But now it's different.

He was very clear about how much he had improved in the past two months.

Even without testing, Qu Yuchen was certain that he could at least reach Grade A.

"My decision to stay in the snowy region was definitely the right one."

Qu Yuchen couldn't help but sigh softly.

If he had made the same choice as everyone else back then.

Then they wouldn't have met Yuanzu two months ago.

They would not receive any opportunities bestowed upon them by the ancestor.

In this way, he might never become a superhuman even if he tries his whole life!
It can be said that it was that decision that completely changed his life.

Soon, the next day arrived.

Qu Yuchen followed the crowd and slowly walked into the examination room.

[Willpower: 491.2 points!]

The countless times we faced life-or-death situations over the past two years have finally paid off.

But for some reason, Qu Yuchen appeared unusually calm after seeing the score.

He wasn't excited.

It's as if achieving this result was something they were entitled to.

Next, he continued walking to the next examination room.

The real test is yet to come.
Half a day later.

Qu Yuchen walked out of the examination room.

Only then did a smile appear on his face.

"564.2 points!"

This achievement may not be comparable to that of top geniuses.

But for him, it was already a huge step forward!
Even if he fails the first test this year, he is absolutely confident that he will pass next year.

Hope is within reach, isn't it?
at the same time.

Hanzhou.

Xie Zhijun also completed the assessment.

However, she did not achieve such a high score as Qu Yuchen.

Willpower: 485.2 points; Physical fitness: 552 points.

This score basically confirms that he will not pass this year's assessment!
She sat quietly on the grass, no longer thinking about anything.

At this point, she has undergone tremendous changes compared to a few years ago.

The once beautiful and delicate face is now etched with the marks of time.

Time has left indelible marks on her!
After a long while, a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

This year, I have turned thirty-five.

Further on, it became extremely difficult to continue improving physical fitness.

There's a high chance I'll never have that chance in my lifetime!
A gentle breeze rustled across the grass.

The vast wilderness seemed so desolate.

Xie Zhijun bent her legs and slowly buried her head inside.

After a long time.

A tear slowly slid down the corner of her eye.
……

Just as the external assessment was about to come to an end.

At the Origin Academy.

Lin Feng finally broke through to the Innate Realm.

As for Wang Hai and others, after more than half a year of accumulation, they finally began to make progress.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, these individuals should be able to break through to the Innate Realm within two months.

Also.

Sikong Yang, Mills, Ji Ruxue, Bai Zhengyu, and Wei Ling also broke through to the fifth level of Body Tempering.

Apart from Liu Xiaoyan, the others had all reached the peak of the fourth level of Body Tempering.

After breaking through to the fifth level of Body Tempering, Sikong Yang immediately challenged Ji Xuan.

That's right, on the last day of last month, he was challenged by Ji Xuan, who had broken through to the fifth level of Body Tempering.

The results are self-evident.

This made Sikong Yang feel as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit.

Damn it, he originally thought he could get the third place reward in October.

Before he could even sit down properly, he lost to Ji Xuan again.

He wouldn't have cared if he had been defeated sooner.

The main problem was that we lost on the last day!
This is purely a matter of mindset.

At the time, this incident was even ridiculed by many people!
Therefore, he chose to challenge Ji Xuan immediately after his breakthrough.

To everyone's surprise, Ji Xuan never appeared. Ultimately, the challenge was considered a voluntary withdrawal by Ji Xuan.

Many people say that Ji Xuan knew he was no match for Sikong Yang, which is why he chose to forfeit.

But this matter is not over yet.

After Sikong Yang.

Ji Ruxue and Bai Zhengyu also issued challenges to Ji Xuan one after another.

However, he still chose to abstain, just like he did at the beginning.

Therefore, Ji Xuan's ranking has dropped to sixth place.

This incident has once again caused a huge uproar.

"What exactly is Ji Xuan up to by abstaining three times in a row?"

"Could it be that he can't take the blow, so he's deliberately hiding?"

Many people were discussing it among themselves.

Outside the crowd.

Nangong Hong frowned.

In his view, Ji Xuan shouldn't be the kind of person who wouldn't dare to accept a challenge.

Not to mention Ji Xuan.

Anyone who can enter the Origin Academy must have a strong will.

It's absolutely impossible to deliberately avoid accepting challenges.

Moreover, how can one make rapid progress without practical experience?
Ji Xuan couldn't possibly be unaware of this principle.

However, to be honest, Ji Xuan and the others have made very little progress.

In the five months following the academy's grand competition, he had only managed to raise his fist technique to the mid-stage of Ming Jin.

His movement technique is still at the second level.

Compared to others, this speed is practically stagnant!
In the period that followed, Wei Lingjun and Mills successively replaced Ji Xuan.

By early December, Ji Xuan's ranking had plummeted from third to ninth.

He was just a hair's breadth away from falling completely off the leaderboard.

However, as time has passed, few people discuss this matter anymore.

After all, everyone has their own things to do.

Nangong Hong, in particular, seized every opportunity to cultivate.

Since he broke through to the fifth level of Body Tempering two months ago.

He has only reached the eighth level of the fifth stage of Body Tempering so far.

And this was after taking twelve bottles of mental energy potions.

Otherwise, his current level would be at most the fifth level of Body Tempering.

The fifth level of body tempering is ultimately much more difficult than before.

Looking at his contribution points balance, Nangong Hong couldn't help but frown.

During this period, he gained more than 100 contribution points.

It can also consume a lot.

Therefore, he currently does not have enough contribution points to support his continued rapid cultivation!

"If I want to gain enough contribution points in a short time, I have no choice but to develop my marksmanship."

Nangong Hong gritted his teeth.

He decided to use some of his contribution points to exchange for Origin Potions to aid his cultivation.

Practicing martial arts also consumes a great deal of physical strength and energy.

Ordinary food simply cannot quickly replenish the physical strength and energy lost.

If the replenishment doesn't keep up, it simply won't be enough to support his long-term practice of marksmanship.

Therefore, only the original medicine can work.

If you are reluctant to let go of your children, you will not be able to ensnare the wolf.

To make rapid progress, we must increase our investment.

With that thought in mind, Nangong Hong no longer hesitated.

They walked straight toward the resource exchange room.

……

A week later.

The time came on September 12th.

In the training ground.

Aside from cultivating and doing basic tasks, he has spent the rest of his time here this week.

Thanks to the restoration provided by the primordial medicine, he had much more time to practice shooting.

At this moment, Nangong Hong kept waving the long spear in his hand, practicing repeatedly.

He seemed to have forgotten everything.

He immersed himself entirely in practicing his marksmanship.

Each thrust of the spear accurately hit the red dot on the wooden stake in front of him.

"boom!"

With each whooshing sound, Nangong Hong swung his spear faster and faster.

suddenly.

Nangong Hong's movements were no longer a display of precise control skills, but rather a kind of almost instinctive, frenzied dance.

The gunfire whipped up the surrounding dust, creating a whirlwind in the air.

Each shot was accompanied by a thunderous explosion.

A shocking scene unfolded: the wooden stake in front of them was cracked like a spiderweb by the force of the gunfire.

At this moment, Nangong increasingly felt that the gun in his hand was gradually becoming a part of his body.

This is not an illusion.

Rather, it is because the mind, the body, and the weapon have been integrated to an extremely high level.

"Hahaha, that's it!"

Nangong Hongda laughed as he approached the very center of the crack in the wooden stake.

His gunplay seemed to have lost its power and become unusually restrained.

He vaguely seemed to have roughly touched the threshold of a hidden force.

At the same time, the blood and qi in his body surged in an unprecedented way, continuously flowing into the gun barrel.

Nangong Hong was also trembling violently, but he still gripped the trembling spear tightly.

next moment.

The cold light at the tip of the spear surged three feet, like a lightsaber piercing the sky in an instant.

"Boom——!"

A crisp sound came from the crack in front.

The wooden stake exploded with a loud bang!

Nangong Hong knelt on one knee, his spear planted in the ground to support his swaying body.

"I succeeded!"

He looked up at the wooden stake he had destroyed with a single shot, a slight smile playing on his lips.

After months of honing his marksmanship, he finally created his own unique style of shooting.

However, his biggest gain this time was not the creation of this marksmanship.

Instead, he took advantage of the opportunity to create this spear technique to successfully break through to the late stage of Ming Jin (明劲).

It even subtly conveyed a sense of understanding of internal energy.

This is arguably his biggest takeaway from this trip!

Now, his martial arts level is high enough to completely crush everyone else!

Even Minamoto no Reijin couldn't last more than ten moves against him.

Nangong Hong even had an urge to compete with those at the Innate Realm.

With this unique skill he created, combined with the martial arts level of the late Ming Jin stage.

If it were merely a master of the early stage of Ming Jin (明劲) in the Innate Realm, they might not be his match.

Unfortunately, he didn't have such an opponent to practice against.

After a while.

Nangong Hong slowly calmed down his excitement.

"My marksmanship concentrates power into a single point at the tip of the spear, thrusting straight out, resulting in extremely powerful single-point burst damage!"

"In that case, let's name it 'Guanhong'!"

Nangong Hong was extremely satisfied with the name he had chosen.

"I wonder how many contribution points the academy will reward me for my marksmanship?"

He has devoted a lot of time and resources to honing his marksmanship.

In Nangong Hong's view, his "Piercing Rainbow" technique was definitely more powerful than Yuan Liren's swordsmanship.

Since Minamoto no Reijin's swordsmanship can earn a reward of 40 contribution points, he should be able to earn 50 contribution points.

With these fifty contribution points, plus the contribution points gained from subsequent tasks.

He has at least a sliver of hope that he can break through to the Innate Realm in the future!

"Xiantian realm!"

Thinking of this, a hint of anticipation appeared in Nangong Hong's eyes.
