I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 438 The Art of Wind, Beginner's Guide!
Meanwhile, the rankings of other factions have also been released.

[So it turns out the competition isn't just fierce in our Nine Provinces!]

Some people in the crowd couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

The number of dual S-rank units from other factions combined is approaching one hundred!
Even though Origin Academy expanded its enrollment this year, many double S-level geniuses still don't even qualify to participate in the final assessment.

There's nothing we can do; some factions only have a limited number of slots available.

Seeing this, many people have begun to feel fortunate to be from Kyushu!

Although the competition in the Nine Provinces is fierce, it is insignificant compared to other forces.

"I wish we could all embark on the path to the extraordinary!"

Upon hearing this, many people nodded, a hint of envy in their eyes.

Meanwhile, Haizhou.

Eternal Group.

Zhou Yichen's expression was solemn.

Although he achieved a commendable 28th place, he felt no joy whatsoever.

First of all, the people ahead of him in line are basically all double S-level.

This put him under immense pressure.

Secondly, if you fail the final assessment, then this score is meaningless.

"I wonder if I'll pass the final assessment?"

After a moment, Zhou Yichen slowly shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

"Let's go practice first!"

"Whether I pass the final assessment this year or not, I will raise my martial arts level to a higher level."

Although martial arts level will not affect the final assessment result.

But Sister Liu once said that becoming an extraordinary person is just a starting point.

The higher one's martial arts level, the greater the advantage one will have after entering the Origin Academy.

"Almost there! I can feel myself approaching the power integration stage that Sister Liu mentioned!"

A glint flashed in Zhou Yichen's eyes, and then he strode toward the training room.

However, it was at this moment that...

He suddenly received a message.

Please arrive in Kyoto before December 20th to meet up.

Upon hearing this news, Zhou Yichen was stunned.

Isn't the final assessment on January 1st?

Why do we have to meet up so early?

Sudden.

He recalled that Liu Xiaoyan had also left early last year.

Since Liu Xiaoyan didn't say what was wrong at the time, he assumed that the other party had something to deal with.

It now appears that they received a message to gather earlier than scheduled.

Zhou Yichen couldn't help but give a wry smile.

He had originally planned to use the last bit of time to cultivate until he reached the stage of power integration.

Now there are less than ten days left, which is obviously not enough time.

"Well, every little bit helps!"

At the same time that Zhou Yichen received the news, the others also learned of it without prior arrangement.

Those who participated in the assessment last year are familiar with this.

As a result, many people began their journeys to Kyoto immediately after the news broke.
……

Meanwhile, amidst the turbulent events unfolding outside...

The atmosphere at Origin Academy was equally tense.

After reaching the fifth level of Body Tempering, everyone could clearly feel that their contribution points were becoming increasingly insufficient!

The contribution points from daily tasks are now barely enough to maintain even the most basic cultivation.

As for purchasing cultivation resources, that's out of the question!
Therefore, they must break through to the Innate Realm as soon as possible.

Only in this way can we accept exploration missions that require higher contribution points.

Of course, another reason is that a new batch of students will be enrolling soon.

This also put a lot of pressure on everyone.

After all, as the first people to enter the Origin Academy, no one wants to be surpassed by those who come after.

It was at this time.

Everyone who was cultivating received a new mission from the academy!
[Temporary Task: Guide the examinees!]

Number of people: 3!

[Task Reward: 20 Contribution Points!]

Upon seeing this task, Kolster's eyes lit up instantly.

20 contribution points?
He then immediately clicked on the task details.

The task was very simple, just like when they entered the academy last year.

However, Dean Li personally presided over the event back then, but this time they will be the ones to preside over it.

But when he saw the end, Kolster's face darkened.

Damn it, you actually need to be ranked on the academy's combat power leaderboard to accept this mission!

However, Bai Zhengyu, standing next to him, had a smile on his face.

For such a simple task, the academy actually gave a reward of 20 contribution points.

"It seems there are quite a few hidden benefits to being ranked on the combat power leaderboard!"

With that in mind, Bai Zhengyu no longer hesitated.

They immediately headed towards the mission hall.

If I go too late, I'm afraid I won't get a turn.

really.

When he arrived at the mission hall, several people were already there.

After all, there are very few ways to obtain contribution points right now.

For most people, the only source of contribution points is daily tasks.

After a month of daily tasks, you only earn a little over twenty contribution points.

Now that a task with such a generous reward has suddenly appeared, no one would be unmoved.

Soon, several more people walked in from outside.

Looking around, only one person out of the top ten on the leaderboard didn't come over.

"Seriously? This show-off doesn't even care about a 20 contribution point mission?"

Seeing that Nangong Hong was not among the crowd, Bai Zhengyu looked surprised.

Although Nangong Hong did earn a lot of contribution points, surely he doesn't care about 20 contribution points?

Moreover, would Nangong Hong let go of such a good opportunity to show off?

Upon hearing this, Wei Lingjun, who was standing beside him, offered an explanation.

"He should be preparing to break through to the Innate Realm, so he wouldn't have time to take on such a time-consuming task."

"innate?"

Bai Zhengyu was taken aback.

It has only been two months since Nangong Hong broke through to the fifth level of Body Tempering.

In two months, without any resources or assistance, one can only cultivate to the fourth level of the fifth stage of Body Tempering.

Even if Nangong Hong has a lot of contribution points, he might only be able to reach the seventh or eighth level of the fifth stage of Body Tempering at most!

With only twenty days left, it's almost impossible to break through from the fifth level of Body Tempering to the Innate Realm.

Unless he has more resources.

But that's obviously impossible.

To break through to the Innate Realm in such a short time, it would require at least 100 points.

Seventy or eighty points are definitely needed.

Where did he get so many contribution points?

"You do not know?"

"what do you know?"

Bai Zhengyu looked puzzled.

"Nangong Hong created a new marksmanship technique two days ago, and with this technique, he received a reward of 70 contribution points."

"With these 70 contribution points, he should have a chance to break through to the Innate Realm!"

"What? 70 contribution points?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhengyu's mouth dropped open.

Are you kidding me?
The extraordinary martial arts techniques he had previously created were only worth a mere twenty contribution points.

How could Nangong Hong possibly earn more than three times as much as him?
It’s a shady deal, it must be a shady deal!

Just then, the voice came from beside me again.

"Yes, his marksmanship has reached the late stage of Ming Jin, so he can get 70 contribution points."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhengyu immediately fell silent.

I have only just begun to grasp the basics of swordsmanship.

As a result, Nangong Hong had already broken through to the late stage of Ming Jin.

I remember at the beginning, I didn't think I was that much different from Nangong Hong.

Damn, how come the gap is so big now? Fortunately, he was determined and quickly adjusted.

And speaking of blows.

The eldest should be Ji Xuan.

At the time, he was known as one of the twin stars on par with Nangong Hong.

Now they can't even make it into the top ten!

The current tenth place has been taken by Situ Yanran.

"Speaking of which, have any of you met Ji Xuan?"

Thinking of Ji Xuan, Bai Zhengyu suddenly realized that it seemed like he hadn't seen him for a long time!
"No."

The people around him all shook their heads.

Nobody knows what he's doing.

Even recently, no one has seen him go to the cultivation room.

This is rather unusual.

"It seems that he no longer even has an advantage in cultivation level!"

Everyone shook their heads.

Ji Xuan used to be able to get ahead of others by virtue of his superior cultivation level.

Now, even that last bit of advantage has been lost!
Even if he accepts the challenge now, he will definitely be able to enter the top ten.

After all, Situ Yanran, who ranked tenth, has now cultivated her fist technique to the mid-stage of Ming Jin.

As for movement techniques, they have also reached the second stage.

Her strength might not necessarily be weaker than what Ji Xuan had previously demonstrated.

However, no one paid much attention to it.

At times like these, having one less competitor might not be a bad thing!
……

And at this time.

Ji Xuan, who was the focus of everyone's discussion, was actually on a cliff not far from the academy.

This is the place with the strongest winds in the area, and it's a location he specifically chose.

After the academy competition ended, Ji Xuan basically spent all his time cultivating here.

In the beginning, he wouldn't spend much time there each day.

I still dedicate a lot of time every day to improving my cultivation level and martial arts skills.

But since breaking through to the fifth level of Body Tempering, Ji Xuan has spent most of his time here.

Especially in the last half month, he has even given up on cultivation!
At this moment, he sat quietly cross-legged on the mountaintop.

The mountain wind howled past at dusk, carrying a damp and biting chill that washed over his body.

However, Ji Xuan remained unmoved.

It was as if none of this had any effect on him.

It was getting dark.

The wind around us grew stronger and stronger, and the mountain wind began to become unusually violent.

"coming!"

Upon seeing this scene, Ji Xuan was not surprised but rather delighted.

He stood on the edge of the cliff, letting the gale tear at his clothes.

Suddenly, the blood and qi in his body began to surge.

He quickly consumed a bottle of the original potion.

At the same time, Ji Xuan swung his fists.

At this moment, he no longer simply pursued power.

Instead, it transforms power into fluctuations, much like the wind.

As he threw a punch, the surrounding airflow was rapidly stirred up.

It forms a small vortex.

Next, he began to swing his fists tirelessly.

Whenever his vital energy was about to be depleted, he would take a bottle of his original medicine.

But if a superhuman were to discover his extravagance, they would probably berate him as a spendthrift.

This method undoubtedly consumes a great deal of qi and blood.

However, he felt no pity at all.

It was as if those bottles of the original medicine were free.

gradually.

Ji Xuan's punching motions became slower and slower.

But at that very moment, something magical began to happen.

The air around him began to flow slowly with each breath and movement he made.

At this moment, it seemed that the blood and qi in his body resonated with the airflow in the outside world!
This is no longer a simple imitation as before.

It's not just about resonance, it's about genuine connection.

He seemed to have transformed into a part of the wind.
……

In the blink of an eye, one night passed.

The next morning.

Ji Xuan slowly stopped what he was doing.

He opened his eyes.

Sunlight shines through the clouds.

The morning sun instantly bathed the earth!

A smile gradually spread across his face.

Feel the gentle breeze blowing around you.

Ji Xuan slowly waved his right hand, and the surrounding air currents moved accordingly.

"So this is the true essence of the wind!"

He sighed softly.

After nearly half a year, we have finally reached this point.

At this moment, he was no longer just imitating the wind, but had truly grasped the essence of the wind!

But at this moment, he appeared so calm.

Ji Xuan knew very well that comprehending the essence of wind was only the beginning.

Or rather, it's precisely because they've already mastered the basics.

He then realized just how far he was from reaching the level of the Origin Ancestor.

Currently, he can only control the airflow within a few meters; he cannot conjure wind out of thin air.

Even if you go to this extent, it will consume a lot of your vital energy and blood.

If it weren't for Ji Xuan spending a full fifty contribution points to exchange for the Origin Potion...

I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to comprehend the essence of wind last night.

"It's time to focus on preparing to break through to the Innate Realm!"

After a moment, Ji Xuan slowly shook his head.

At present, he has already reached his limit by being able to grasp the basics of the Wind's essence.

It's simply impossible to reach a higher level.

In fact, given Ji Xuan's current level of cultivation, it would be very difficult for him to comprehend the essence of wind.

Under normal circumstances, to gain enlightenment, one needs to reach at least the Transcendental Realm.

He can sense it.

On the one hand, his talent is indeed extraordinary.

On the other hand, it is due to the availability of a large amount of resources.

Ultimately, one's cultivation level is the foundation of everything.

"Unfortunately, it's impossible to break through to the Innate Realm in the remaining time!"

He wasted too much time trying to grasp the essence of the wind.

Since breaking through to the fifth level of Body Tempering, he has used most of his contribution points to exchange for Origin Potions.

Therefore, his current cultivation level is only at the second stage of the fifth level of Body Tempering.

"I'm afraid many people have already surpassed me!"

Ji Xuan couldn't help but give a wry smile.

After a month without training, I've fallen far behind.

But he has no regrets.

For him, the gain from being able to perceive the essence of the wind far outweighed the wasted time.

Even though he is only at the second level of the fifth stage of Body Tempering, he is confident that he can defeat most people.

Even Nangong Hong is unlikely to be his match.

Now that he has incorporated the essence of wind into his martial arts, his strength has more than doubled.
Even he himself doesn't know just how strong he is now!
Unless Nangong Hong's cultivation level reaches the Innate Realm.

Or perhaps one has cultivated their marksmanship to the late stage of Ming Jin (明劲).

Otherwise, they wouldn't even be qualified to fight themselves.

"Nangong Hong, I hope you won't disappoint me!"

Ji Xuan smiled slightly, then his figure flashed and quickly disappeared from the mountaintop.

After being away for so long, it's time to go back!
