I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 608 Registration Begins, Tiangang Alliance's Plans
Time flies, and September has arrived in the blink of an eye. The registration channel for the Extraordinary Individuals Competition has officially opened.

In just one day, the number of applicants for the Pride Ranking exceeded two thousand.

Of these, only seven hundred were innate realm extraordinary individuals; the rest were all body tempering realm extraordinary individuals.

Even some people in the mid-stage of body tempering have signed up.

Of course, very few extraordinary individuals who were in the early stages of body tempering signed up!
This is actually normal.

This Extraordinary Competition can be said to be the biggest event since the beginning of the Extraordinary Era, and almost everyone with some strength will not miss it.

Although it's almost impossible for someone in the Body Tempering Realm to make it onto the Prodigy Ranking, it's certainly an opportunity to show off and gain some combat experience.

Therefore, after the registration channel opened, those who had reached the Body Tempering Realm also enthusiastically signed up.

Even knowing that they had no chance of making the list of the most outstanding talents, they still hoped to gain some experience from this grand event.

After all, the Extraordinary Talent Competition isn't a one-off event; there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

As for the number of applicants for the Grandmaster Ranking, it was much smaller.

So far, fewer than two hundred people have signed up.

There's nothing we can do; there aren't even five hundred Grandmasters on the entire planet Earth.

More than half of them were only Grandmasters at the first three stages of the Transcendent Realm.

Of the more than one hundred people who signed up, 99% were Grandmasters at or above the fourth level of the Transcendent Realm.

If defeating a mid-stage Body Tempering cultivator in the early stages of Body Tempering isn't too difficult, then defeating a fourth-stage Transcendent cultivator in the third stage of Mortal Transformation would be very difficult.

Those at the fourth stage of the Transcendent Realm have completed the tempering of all twelve meridians, and the amount of blood and qi contained in their bodies is more than twice that of those at the third stage of the Transcendent Realm.

This is entirely a difference in hard power.

Therefore, even a fourth-stage Transcendent Realm cultivator who follows the path of laws would find it difficult to be defeated by a third-stage Transcendent Realm cultivator.

Unless the attack method is very strong, capable of instantly unleashing a large amount of blood and energy, thus ending the battle in a short time.

If the battle cannot be ended in a short time, the player will face exhaustion of health and mana.

At that point, defeat will be inevitable.

This is why there aren't many applicants below the fourth level of the Transcendent Realm.

Only a select few top geniuses who can break through to the mid-stage of Dark Force at the third stage of Transcendent Realm will choose to sign up.

Those at the Grandmaster level almost all signed up.

After all, there are only about twenty Grandmasters now, and they are mostly at the seventh level of the Transcendent Realm.

There are fewer than ten people at the eighth level of the Transcendent Realm.

Therefore, as long as they are not those who have just broken through to the Grandmaster level, they basically have a chance to enter the top ten.

However, most of the current grandmasters have already broken through to that level several years ago.

These people all entered the Origin Academy at least three years before the Extraordinary Era.

None of the students from the fourth cohort onwards have yet become Grandmasters.

Of course, this doesn't mean that no one has been able to break through to the Grandmaster level since the fourth generation.

For example, Fang Yuanhang from the fourth cohort, and Cuthbert, who was the same age as him, were both capable of making breakthroughs.

The winner of the fifth competition, Isaacs, was also at the peak of the sixth level of the Transcendent Realm.

The reason these people don't break through is not because they can't, but simply because they're unwilling.

After all, they are all strong contenders for the top ten, or even the top three, of the Grandmaster Ranking.

No one would choose to break through with the Extraordinary Tournament just around the corner.

Of course, the main reason is that it only lasts a few months.

If it takes too long, no one will want to stay at the sixth level of the Mortal Transformation without breaking through.

In this day and age, it's not difficult for a Grandmaster to earn 2,000 contribution points a year, and there's absolutely no need to waste too much time on the Grandmaster Ranking rewards.

……

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The number of people who have registered for the Extraordinary Individuals Competition has already exceeded three thousand.

They already make up almost 60% of the total number of human superhumans.

Those who didn't register were mostly masters in the early stages of Body Tempering or the first three stages of Transcendent Transformation.

at the same time.

Kyushu and Kyoto Extraordinary Universities.

"I've reached the tenth level of Body Tempering!"

Inside the cultivation room, Zhu Wanqin slowly exhaled.

Due to the scarcity of resources in previous years, she had been stuck at the ninth level of Body Tempering for far too long.

I have finally broken through to the tenth level of Body Tempering.

"The next step is the Innate Realm!"

Zhu Wanqin murmured to herself, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.

But soon, she shook her head.

"Unfortunately, there are less than two months left for the selection of the Prodigy Ranking, and it's too late to break through to the Innate Realm!"

"Moreover, my current resources are insufficient to support my rapid cultivation to the Innate Realm."

Thinking of this, Zhu Wanqin's joy at having just broken through to the tenth level of Body Tempering vanished instantly.

She couldn't help but give a bitter smile.

Even though her martial arts realm had reached the late stage of Ming Jin and she had mastered the concept of laws.

But to think that one can climb the Heavenly Pride Ranking with a cultivation level of tenth stage of Body Tempering is nothing short of a pipe dream.

Of course, Zhu Wanqin will definitely still sign up.

She also wanted to see just how strong the others really were.

In particular, can the top geniuses of the three extraordinary academies compare to himself?

"I will definitely make it onto the list of the most outstanding talents within three years!"

"Within five years, I want to be in the top fifty or even the top ten."

Zhu Wanqin clenched her fists and set a goal in her heart.

She is now over sixty years old, and there is not much time left for her!
If she doesn't make it onto the Prodigy Ranking, at her current rate of gaining contribution points, it's uncertain when she'll be able to gather enough resources for awakening.

Although she can now earn 200 contribution points every year, she still needs to cultivate.

Unless you don't buy any cultivation resources at all, you're unlikely to have much left over from 200 contribution points.

But how can one quickly improve their strength without purchasing cultivation materials?
What she lacks now is time, so naturally she won't conserve cultivation resources.

Therefore, Zhu Wanqin must be listed on the Heavenly Pride Ranking in order to have enough resources to awaken.

Of course, if she asked, Fang Yuanhang would be willing to give her the resources needed to awaken.

But Fang Yuanhang has helped her a lot over the years.

Human relationships are something you can only use up as much as you can.

Therefore, Zhu Wanqin did not want to ask Fang Yuanhang for help because of this matter unless absolutely necessary.

She shook her head, got up, and walked out of the cultivation room.

……

Principal's office.

When Zhu Wanqin appeared at the door, Yue Yutang instantly sensed the surging blood and qi emanating from her body.

"You broke through?"

"Yes, I just broke through to the tenth level of Body Tempering."

"Hahaha, good!"

"It seems our school is about to produce its second Innate Realm expert!"

Yue Yutang laughed heartily.

He has been under a lot of pressure lately.

Finally, we've heard some good news.

"It's still a long way off!"

Zhu Wanqin shook her head.

The final tenth level of body tempering is also the most difficult.

This stage mainly tests mental strength.

For someone with weak mental strength, it would take at least several years to break through to the Innate Realm.

It could even take decades.

Many extraordinary individuals at the Body Tempering Realm are stuck at this stage and unable to break through to the Innate Realm.

Of course, if you have enough financial resources to take a bottle of mental energy potion every day, your cultivation speed will naturally increase significantly.

Even those with exceptionally weak mental strength, who cannot even manage a single tempering session, can eventually break through their bottlenecks through consistent effort over time.

Well, that's assuming you have enough financial resources.

But this kind of cultivation method is something that even grandmasters, let alone grandmasters, cannot withstand.

Who would be so greedy as to give their life away to a Body Tempering Realm Transcendent with extremely poor talent?
However, Zhu Wanqin is naturally not included in this category.

Although her mental strength is not as good as those geniuses from the Origin Academy, it is still quite good.

If I can exchange for more mental energy potions, I can break through within a year.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore!"

Yue Yutang smiled and waved his hand.

"This time, including you, there are thirteen people from our school who have signed up for the Extraordinary Competition."

"Thirteen people?"

Zhu Wanqin was slightly surprised.

Currently, there are only nine people at Kyoto Extraordinary University who have reached the intermediate level of physical training.

In other words, four more people have signed up for the initial stage of body tempering?
"Hehe, after all, it's the first grand event on a global scale, so it's normal for them to want to broaden their horizons."

Zhu Wanqin nodded, then looked at Yue Yutang and asked:
"Principal, you should have reached the peak of Ming Jin by now, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Yutang couldn't help but give a wry smile.

"Not yet. I reckon I won't be able to break through to the peak of Ming Jin before I reach the Innate Realm!"

Yue Yutang's cultivation progress is the reality for most people.

Not everyone can reach the peak of Ming Jin or even An Jin in the Innate Realm.

In other words, at the Origin Academy, the peak of the Ming Jin realm in the Innate Realm is nothing special.

In fact, being able to reach the peak of Ming Jin in the Innate Realm is definitely the mark of a top genius.

Yue Yutang's ability to reach the late stage of Ming Jin is actually quite impressive.

His ability to cultivate to the Innate Realm already surpasses countless others.

Of course, with this level of skill, the chances of making it into the top 100 in the Heavenly Pride Ranking competition are slim.

However, Yue Yutang did not give up.

What if I get lucky and get in?

That would not only earn them a reward of 100 contribution points, but would also greatly enhance the reputation of Kyoto Extraordinary University.

"I won't talk about me anymore. You should take this time to prepare."

"Although there's no hope of making it onto the list of prodigies this year, it can still provide me with more practical experience!"

"With your talent, you will most likely be able to make it onto the list of geniuses in the future."

"Ok, I know."

……

moon star.

Xinyuan City.

In a courtyard covering an area of ​​over a thousand square meters, more than a dozen figures gathered.

This courtyard is the headquarters of the Tiangang Alliance in Xinyuan City.

It cost 300 contribution points to buy this courtyard back then.

Such a high price is simply unaffordable for ordinary superhumans.

Many grandmasters and even extraordinary forces cannot afford such expensive houses.

Of course, this house cost 200 contribution points.

However, its location is not in the core area of ​​the inner city of Xinyuan City; it can only be considered as the outer perimeter.

To buy a house of over a thousand square meters in the core area, you would need at least a thousand contribution points.

The reason why houses in the core area of ​​the inner city are expensive is not just because of their prime location.

Most importantly, the concentration of source energy there is very high, so you can cultivate even without source crystals.

Of course, it's not very useful for grandmasters.

That level of source energy concentration is far too slow for Body Tempering Realm or Grandmaster Realm cultivation!
That kind of place is more suitable for a larger number of extraordinary forces.

The Heavenly Gang Alliance only has a dozen or so members; there's no need to waste so many contribution points buying houses in the core area.

Well, actually, it's mainly because there aren't that many contribution points.

After all, they still need to cultivate, and it's impossible for them to spend thousands of contribution points just to buy a house.

at this time.

The middle-aged man in the lead, dressed in black training clothes, glanced at the two young men and women standing at the front and said with a smile:

"Sixth Brother, Eighth Brother, are you confident about this competition for the Heavenly Pride Ranking?" The one called Sixth Brother was a burly young man with a buzz cut, sharp eyes like an eagle, and bulging muscles in his arms.

He grinned, his voice booming:

"Don't worry, big brother, I'll at least make it into the top ten of this year's Prodigy Ranking!"

"Top ten? You dare to dream of that!"

Upon hearing this, another slightly overweight young man rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"To get into the top ten, the late stage of the Innate Realm isn't enough!"

"I've heard that some freaks have not only reached the Dark Force realm in martial arts, but have also mastered the Laws of Intent."

Upon hearing this, the man in black immediately kicked him.

"Fat Chicken, can you stop saying discouraging things at a time like this?"

The man in black was Qin Zhi, the leader of the Tiangang Alliance.

However, within the Heavenly Gang Alliance, everyone addresses each other as brothers and sisters.

Qin Zhi is the strongest and oldest, so naturally he's the eldest brother!

As for Fat Chicken, it's none other than Wang Wenjun!
He ranked fourth in the Heavenly Gang Alliance.

In fact, Wang Wenjun should have been ranked fifth.

However, because Wang Wenjun and Xia Yuan were classmates, Qin Shuai became fifth.

The second place went to Fu Hongkang, and the third to Song Xiaotong.

The five of them are also the only five Grandmasters in the Heavenly Gang Alliance.

After them, the highest realm they reached was the Innate level!

The person who was called "Old Six" just now graduated from Lingxiao Academy three years ago.

This person has now reached the late stage of the Innate Realm and the peak of the Ming Jin realm in martial arts. He is the strongest person in the Tian Gang Alliance besides Qin Zhi and the other four.

In fact, this person originally planned to enter a supernatural university or an official force such as the Judgment Hall.

But in the end, Qin Zhi snatched it away.

It was around that time that the Heavenly Gang Alliance officially began recruiting members.

The Heavenly Gang Alliance now has eighteen members.

Among them, there are four people in the Innate Realm and nine people in the Body Tempering Realm.

Most of these people came from various universities and the three extraordinary academies, and they all had excellent talents.

The motto of the Tiangang Alliance is to value quality over quantity.

Of course, there are no exceptionally talented geniuses.

Those top geniuses have much better places to go.

Not to mention anything else.

If one can stay in one of the three extraordinary academies, or even enter the Origin Academy, who would want to go elsewhere?
Not to mention that the current Extraordinary Academy also has secret realms that can help with cultivation.

These are conditions that are completely unavailable outside of China.

yard.

Ignoring Wang Wenjun and Qin Zhi, who were screaming in pain while clutching their buttocks, he continued:
"No matter what, just do your best!"

"In our Heavenly Gang Alliance, only the two of you have a chance to achieve a good ranking."

What Qin Zhi said was indeed the truth.

Although the Heavenly Gang Alliance has four members at the Innate Realm, the other two have only recently broken through to the Innate Realm.

Forget about getting a good ranking, they can't even make it onto the list of the most outstanding talents.

As for those masters...

Their highest cultivation level is only the fourth stage of the Transcendent Realm, and they have absolutely no hope of making it onto the Grandmaster Ranking.

"Hehe, if the two of you can represent our Heavenly Gang Alliance and get a good ranking this time!"

"Then we might be able to recruit a few more geniuses."

Hearing Qin Shuai's words, Qin Zhi smiled and nodded.

That's right.

The Heavenly Gang Alliance hopes to take advantage of this opportunity to see if they can recruit some promising talents.

Once the two of them can get into the top 50 or even the top 30.

That will definitely attract some geniuses to join.

"Alright, don't go on any missions during these last few days!"

"We'll also take this time to give you some guidance."

"Yes, thank you, brother!"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the sixth and eighth brothers lit up instantly.

Qin Zhi is at the fourth level of the Transcendent Realm.

They would be more than qualified to be instructors at Lingxiao Academy.

This is also the main reason why they are willing to join the Heavenly Gang Alliance.

In other places, the opportunity to receive guidance from a Transcendent Realm expert is not always readily available.

But the Heavenly Gang Alliance is different.

Because of their small number and good relationships with each other, they often received guidance from Qin Zhi and others.

Although Lao Liu graduated from Lingxiao Academy, his talent was only considered average even within the academy.

If it weren't for the guidance from Qin Zhi and others over the years, his strength would never have been as great as it is now.

"By the way, big brother."

Just then, a woman in the crowd spoke up:
"Should our Heavenly Gang Alliance also establish a martial arts school?"

"Martial Arts School?"

Qin Zhi raised an eyebrow.

Given the strength of their Heavenly Gang Alliance, establishing a martial arts school would indeed qualify them for subsidies from the Human Alliance.

But he had known about it before.

At most, you can only get a hundred contribution points a year.

He doesn't even care about these contributions.

Most importantly, the competition among martial arts schools is too fierce now, so there's no need for them to fight for such a small piece of the pie.

It's really not worth it.

However, since someone has brought it up, Qin Zhi did not directly refute it.

"Exactly!"

The woman nodded.

"Although our Heavenly Gang Alliance doesn't have a big reputation right now, once Sixth Brother and Eighth Sister make it onto the Heavenly Pride Ranking, it will definitely attract a lot of attention."

"By then, our martial arts school will be able to attract many people to come and learn."

"Didn't you just say you wanted to recruit geniuses?"

Why don't we choose from the ordinary people in these martial arts schools?

"Some people are actually very talented, but because of the lack of conditions, they ultimately failed to enter university or a special academy."

"For those with good talent, we can sign agreements with them after they graduate and let them join our Heavenly Gang Alliance."

"In fact, many forces have already started doing this!"

The person who made this suggestion was named Lin Xiaoyu.

She is ranked fifteenth in the Heavenly Gang Alliance and is currently at the fourth level of Body Tempering.

Although Lin Xiaoyu's cultivation level was not high, she had more knowledge than many people.

Therefore, Lin Xiaoyu is in charge of many things in the Tiangang Alliance.

“Your suggestion is indeed good, but our Heavenly Gang Alliance only has a dozen or so people.”

"Setting up a martial arts school would be too much of a hassle and would also be a waste of time."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoyu smiled.

"Brother, you're always on missions, so you probably don't know, but there are already a lot of martial artists outside!"

"We only need to recruit a group of martial artists, and we can treat them as subordinate forces of our Heavenly Gang Alliance."

"So it doesn't actually take us too much time; we just need to give some pointers when we have some free time."

"Subordinate forces?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhi and the others were immediately taken aback.

They had never thought about this before.

After all, the principle of the Heavenly Gang Alliance is to value quality over quantity.

Moreover, he didn't want to drink the blood of those martial artists.

No need.

Qin Zhi himself started as an ordinary person.

If it weren't for Xia Yuan, he wouldn't even have been able to become a superhuman, let alone a grandmaster.

"Big brother, this isn't bloodsucking!"

Lin Xiaoyu gave a wry smile.

“Those martial artists are different from us.”

"For them, it's something they'd love to join a larger supernatural force."

"Many people want this opportunity but don't have it."

"Although our Heavenly Gang Alliance is not as good as the Eternal and Dawn Societies, we are still among the strongest."

Lin Xiaoyu was right.

Although level 5 martial artists can now accept missions, they only get the worst ones.

All the good tasks were taken by the top performers.

Unless they are level 5 martial artists from top-tier powerful forces.

For a typical level 5 martial artist, earning ten contribution points a year is considered a lot.

Most level 5 martial artists only have about five contribution points.

More importantly, joining a superhuman force allows one to receive guidance from superhumans.

Even many powerful and extraordinary martial arts techniques that are never seen by the outside world.

This is the most precious thing.

Otherwise, why would so many people choose to join the supernatural forces?

Crazy and being sucked blood?

"Big brother, Xiaoyu is right."

At this moment, Fu Hongkang also spoke up.

As the second most important figure in the Heavenly Gang Alliance, he doesn't talk much, but every time he speaks, it carries great weight.

"We established the martial arts school not to exploit ordinary martial artists, but to give them an opportunity. Those who are truly talented can be recruited into the core of the Heavenly Gang Alliance, while those with average aptitude can obtain stable resources through our subordinate forces."

"and……"

He paused, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"Now all the major powers are setting up their martial arts school systems. If we don't get involved soon, it will be difficult to get involved later."

Qin Zhi pondered for a moment, then his gaze swept over the crowd:
"What do you think?"

Wang Wenjun chuckled:
"Brother Zhi, I think we can do it! It won't affect us much anyway, so why not give it a try?"

"Besides, if we can really find a few promising talents at the level of the Origin Academy, our Heavenly Gang Alliance can also grow stronger, right?"

Song Xiaotong nodded in agreement:

"Indeed, martial arts schools can not only attract talent, but also make money."

“Although we don’t need money much, Xiaoyu and the other Body Tempering Realm martial artists still need money normally.”

"It's a waste to keep using contribution points to buy ordinary resources!"

Seeing everyone's support, Qin Zhi finally made up his mind:
"Okay, then it's settled!"

"Xiaoyu, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Let's set up the martial arts school first, and then officially start it after the Extraordinary Talents Tournament ends."

Lin Xiaoyu said happily:

"No problem, I'll cover it!"

Actually, she had discussed this matter with Song Xiaotong beforehand, and only brought it up after receiving Song Xiaotong's support.

In her opinion.

With the Heavenly Gang Alliance's formidable strength, there's absolutely no need for them to rely solely on completing tasks to earn contribution points.

Compared to those major powers, the gap is simply too huge!
Moreover, Song Xiaotong is right; for those of them who are cultivating at the Body Tempering Realm, money is still very important.

"Alright, that's all for now. You should all focus on your cultivation from now on."

"Strive to break through to the Grandmaster realm as soon as possible."

"The Grandmaster realm is merely the starting point of cultivation."
