I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 519 Sealed Past, Legends Breaking Free from Shackles

"Xuanyuan Yungui?"

"Where did this person come from?"

Kyoto Extraordinary University.

Jiang Yunpeng frowned upon seeing the rankings.

He originally thought he would definitely win first place this time.

But unexpectedly, someone appeared who completely overwhelmed him in both willpower and physical fitness.

Even though the supernatural has developed to the point where many people can now access supernatural items.

However, it is unimaginable to score above 574 in physical fitness and above 493 in willpower.

He felt that even if he were given a few more years, he would most likely not reach the level of Xuan Yuan Yun Gui.

Even if it were Emperor Wuzong Nangong Hong, he might not have been able to achieve this score.

The higher the score, the harder it is to improve.

This is something that can't be improved simply by time!

"Teacher Zhu, do you know this person?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wanqin, who was standing to the side, shook her head.

She had no recollection of it either.

"If this person was able to get this score, why did they only show up now?"

"At his age, he should have no problem passing the first Origin Academy assessment."

At this point, she couldn't help but frown.

"In addition, the surname Xuanyuan is not very common in this day and age."

"Those who can use Xuanyuan as their surname must be families with a very ancient lineage."

"Let's go ask Old Zhou, he might know something."

Even before the Extraordinary Era, Elder Zhou had already become a top-tier martial artist at the fifth level.

Moreover, he is ranked first on the martial arts ranking list.

He can be considered the strongest below the extraordinary level.

Of course, that was in the past.

Old Zhou has long since become a superhuman, and a third-level body tempering superhuman at that.

She is even stronger than Zhu Wanqin.

However, Old Zhou is almost eighty years old.

It is almost impossible for him to successfully awaken in the future.

"Xuanyuan Yungui? I don't know this person!"

Upon hearing the purpose of their visit, Old Zhou shook his head.

But before the two of them could say anything, he continued:
"However, I do know another person who is also named Xuanyuan."

"I remember it was about fifty years ago."

As he spoke, a hint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.

"Back then, I was only in my early twenties, but my martial arts level had already broken through to the fourth stage."

what?
The fourth stage of martial arts in one's twenties?
Zhu Wanqin and the other woman exchanged a glance, a hint of shock flashing in their eyes.

Now there are original medicines to assist in this process.

Becoming a level four martial artist in one's twenties is not too difficult.

Fifty years ago, it would have been even more difficult for someone of that age to become a level four martial artist than for Jiang Yunpeng to become a level five martial artist at that age.

Because the stronger one's martial arts training, the more severe the hidden injuries will be.

Without the primordial medicine to repair hidden injuries, becoming a level 5 martial artist is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

That's why only five level-five martial artists appeared when the martial artists were initially recruited.

Just then, Old Zhou continued:
"After I became a level four martial artist, I started to challenge people everywhere."

"Back then, almost no one of my peers could rival me."

"To the point that I think geniuses and outstanding talents are nothing more than this."

"Until one day, I met her."

"Is it the person you mentioned named Xuanyuan?"

Jiang Yunpeng immediately asked.

Old Zhou nodded.

"That's right, when I met her, she was just a girl in her early twenties."

"He's even two years younger than me."

"female?"

The two exchanged a strange look.

Clearly, they hadn't expected that the person Old Zhou was referring to would be a woman.

Moreover, judging from Old Zhou's eyes, there seems to be a story between the two.

"What surprised me the most was that she was also a level four martial artist."

"So I challenged her."

"She didn't want to fight me at first, but she couldn't resist my persistence and finally agreed!"

"So what was the result?"

Upon hearing this, Old Zhou couldn't help but give a wry smile.

He held up five fingers.

"Five moves! My opponent defeated me completely in just five moves!"

"What? Five moves?"

The two looked completely taken aback.

Are you kidding me?
From Old Zhou's account, they learned just how powerful Old Zhou was back then.

Unexpectedly, he was defeated by his opponent in just five moves.

"Could it be that she was already a level five martial artist back then?"

A bizarre idea suddenly popped into Jiang Yunpeng's mind.

In that era, a level 5 martial artist in their twenties?
Are you kidding me?
Such talent is beyond the reach of even the martial arts master Nangong Hong.

After all, when Wu Zong Nangong Hong participated in the Origin Academy assessment, he was only a level four martial artist.

"Yes, she has indeed broken through to level five."

Old Zhou gave a wry smile.

"My expression back then was the same as yours now, even more incredulous." "How come I've never heard of this before?"

After calming down from the shock, Zhu Wanqin quickly asked.

She considered herself to be fairly well-known in the martial arts community.

She had heard of those famous level-five martial artists, even if she didn't know them personally.

But she had no recollection of the person named Xuanyuan that Old Zhou mentioned.

Logically speaking, such a young level 5 martial artist, especially a woman, should be quite remarkable.

They're definitely going to become very famous.

"It's normal that you don't know."

“Aside from that one match with me, she has never made a move in public.”

"Even so, doesn't she want to become a superhuman?"

Upon hearing this, Old Zhou's eyes dimmed slightly.

After a long while, he said softly:
"She didn't live to see the arrival of the Extraordinary Era; she passed away forty years ago!"

Forty years ago?

Doesn't that mean he died before he was forty?
"It was then that I learned that she was able to become a level 5 martial artist at such a young age by using a cultivation method that prematurely depleted her life force."

"Overdrawing her life? Why would she do that?"

Zhu Wanqin looked puzzled.

Back then, the country was already in a period of peace.

What's the point of prematurely mortgaging your life?

"To break free from these shackles!"

"Break free from constraints?"

The two were stunned for a moment, then blurted out.

"You mean, to become a superhuman?"

"Yes."

"Really? People wanted to become superhumans back then?"

Old Zhou nodded.

"It's just that the concept of superhumans didn't exist back then."

"She also didn't know what lay beyond martial arts."

"She just told me that if I could cultivate martial arts to its peak, I would have a chance to break free from my limitations."

"But if you cultivate in the usual way, you will never be able to reach the ultimate level in your lifetime."

"Therefore, there have always been people in their family who choose to cultivate martial arts by overdrawing their lives."

"So that one day we can break free from these constraints."

"Unfortunately, no one has succeeded in thousands of years."

"In fact, judging from the current situation, the so-called breaking of the shackles by the Xuanyuan family is not just about those who have reached the Body Tempering Realm, but about those who have reached the Innate Realm."

"Because her strength back then had reached an unbelievable level, even now I have no power to resist her."

"Even if her strength didn't reach the tenth level of Body Tempering, it must have been at least the eighth or ninth level."

"He is almost the strongest member of the Xuanyuan family in thousands of years."

Hearing these words, the two were once again shocked.

How can an ordinary person possess strength comparable to the eighth or ninth level of Body Tempering without relying on Source Energy?
What extraordinary talent!

Looking at the history of mankind, probably no one except the progenitor has ever reached her level of power.

Unfortunately.

That proud daughter of the Xuanyuan family was ultimately born at the wrong time.

If she had lived for several more decades, she would have witnessed this magnificent sight today!
With her talent, breaking through the shackles would be no problem, let alone reaching the Unity Realm.

It might even be possible to reach the same level as the progenitor.

At the same time, the two couldn't help but feel fortunate.

Although energy sources have not yet recovered in this era.

With the help of the Origin Ancestor, these people could at least become extraordinary beings.

After a moment, Old Zhou continued:
"If nothing unexpected happens, the Xuan Yuan Yun Gui you mentioned is most likely from the same family as her."

"This person must not have used that secret technique, otherwise he would not have passed the test at all."

Admittedly, using that kind of secret technique that overdraws one's life force can rapidly increase one's strength.

But it's absolutely impossible to pass the physical fitness test.

"However, he must have taken the original potion."

"Where did they get the original potion?"

Zhu Wanqin frowned.

“There is no one with the surname Xuanyuan in the Origin Academy, and none of them have entered the Extraordinary University.”

"Could it be that it was acquired from elsewhere at a high price?"

"I didn't know that!"

Old Zhou shook his head, then looked at Jiang Yunpeng.

"Alright, although this Xuan Yuan Yun Gui is a genius, he may not be stronger than you."

“You are only twenty-five years old now, and you have already absorbed insights into artistic conception.”

"Once you become a superhuman, and you comprehend the essence of the art, you will most likely be stronger than him."

"Ah."

Jiang Yunpeng nodded; he wasn't afraid.

He was even more excited when such people appeared.

Having rivals can further promote his growth.

Didn't the Martial Sect and the Wind Sect grow up by competing with each other?
"By the way, Elder Zhou, what's this person's name?"

Before leaving, Zhu Wanqin couldn't help but ask a question.

"Name?"

Old Zhou murmured softly, his eyes filled with struggle.

He seemed genuinely unwilling to recall the other person's name.

But after a moment, he spoke.

"Her name is Xuanyuan Xi!"
