I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 642 The powerful have fallen silent, there is nowhere left to advance!

While the world is developing rapidly, two more selections for the Prodigy Ranking and one selection for the Grandmaster Ranking have been held in recent years.

The geniuses from the first and second Heavenly Pride Rankings have all become Grandmasters.

Even in the recently concluded third annual Heavenly Pride Ranking, many people successfully broke through to become Grandmasters.

However, it is different from the previous two editions.

All the extraordinary individuals at the Innate Realm on this third edition of the Prodigy Ranking have reached the peak of the Ming Jin realm in martial arts.

Nearly half of them have already broken through to the Dark Force level.

As for the essence of the laws, no less than half of the people have mastered it.

In terms of overall quality, it far surpasses the first edition.

This is also normal.

After all, when the first selection of the Prodigy Ranking took place, they had only just begun to enjoy the benefits brought by the increased resources.

Five years have passed now, and things are naturally different!

In all the extraordinary academies, if you can't cultivate to the late stage of the Innate Realm within five years, you can't even be called a genius.

True geniuses can even become grandmasters within five years at the academy!

Of course, this group is relatively small!
After all, awakening requires a lot of resources, and only those who consistently rank in the top ten or even the top three in the academy competition can gather the contribution points needed for awakening.

Others typically need a year to accumulate contribution points.

of course.

If one can make it onto the list of prodigies, it will save a lot of time.

Many geniuses at the late stage of the Innate Realm are able to quickly accumulate contribution points by relying on the rewards they receive from appearing on the Pride Ranking.

However, just like before, the top 50% of the Prodigy Ranking is monopolized by the three extraordinary academies.

Thirty percent came from the military and the Court of Judgment.

As for the remaining 20%, it comes from those extraordinary forces and extraordinary universities!

That's right.

Zhu Wanqin from Kyoto Extraordinary University successfully achieved a ranking of 17th in the recently concluded selection of the Prodigy Ranking.

She has now not only reached the late stage of the Innate Realm in terms of cultivation, but has also broken through to the Dark Force level in martial arts.

Of course, Fang Yuanhang's help was indispensable in this process.

If it weren't for the resources Fang Yuanhang provided, Zhu Wanqin would have had a hard time breaking through to the late stage of the Innate Realm in just over three years.

In fact, if her ability had been used in the same competition, she could have easily placed in the top ten, or even the top five.

After all, she not only reached the entry level of Dark Force in martial arts, but also mastered the Intent of Wind, making her extremely powerful in actual combat.

But things are not the same as they were four years ago.

During these four years, he relied on cultivation secret realms and the process of fighting against demonic beasts.

The top geniuses from the three extraordinary academies are by no means weak in practical combat skills.

It's already incredibly impressive that Zhu Wanqin managed to get seventeenth place!

It's worth noting that in the past, those who ranked in the top twenty either came from the three major extraordinary academies or from official institutions such as the military.

This is the first time Zhu Wanqin, a university martial arts teacher, has entered the top twenty.

Therefore, she caused quite a stir.

Of course, this is in the general public.

To the geniuses at the Extraordinary Academy, Zhu Wanqin was already over sixty years old, which was nothing special.

If they had lived that long, they would have been invincible in the Innate Realm long ago!
Apart from Zhu Wanqin.

Zhou Qiyuan from Jiangcheng Chaofan University also made it onto the list of prodigies, but his ranking was only 92nd.

The main reason is that his cultivation level is only at the mid-stage of the Innate Realm.

It is extremely rare to be able to make it onto the list of geniuses at the mid-stage of the Innate Realm.

The entire list of prodigies will not exceed twenty people, and without exception, all of them have reached the Dark Force level.

If Zhou Qiyuan participates again next time, he will at least be able to enter the top fifty.

Of course, this is on the premise that he is willing to wait two years.

Qi Yuan is not far from the late stage of the Innate Realm; he should be able to break through within six months at the latest.

When the time comes, as long as you have enough contribution points, you can awaken at any time.

Given his relationship with Li Yan, Miao Danqiu, and Long Youzhu, he could easily borrow several hundred contribution points.

In fact, both Zhou Qiyuan and Zhu Wanqin are no less talented than the top geniuses of the three extraordinary academies.

But those geniuses cultivate much faster than them!
Under normal circumstances, five years is enough time for a genius from one of the three extraordinary academies to cultivate from an ordinary person to the late stage of the Innate Realm.

Even more remarkably, it can be achieved in just four years.

However, it took Zhou Qiyuan four years to break through from the ninth level of Body Tempering to the late stage of Innate Realm.

The main reason is the disparity in access to resources.

As martial arts instructors at Extraordinary University, they can earn 300 contribution points a year, which is already a lot!

But at the Extraordinary Academy, three hundred contribution points are just average.

For those top geniuses, earning 500 contribution points a year is not difficult, which is more than some less successful grandmasters.

Under these circumstances, their cultivation speed will naturally be much faster.

In the outside world, it would take at least ten years for an ordinary person to cultivate to the Innate Realm.

That's still considered to be quite talented.

Those who are less skilled will need even more time, and may never be able to make a breakthrough in their lifetime.

Therefore, Zhu Wanqin and others were already considered quite lucky!
If they hadn't seized the opportunities of the times at the very beginning, they wouldn't even be able to make it onto the list of prodigies, let alone become extraordinary beings.

...Aside from the Prodigy Ranking, most of the top grandmasters on the first Grandmaster Ranking have now become Grandmasters.

After all, apart from a few fifth-level Transcendent Transformers, the rest were all sixth-level Transcendent Transformers.

Moreover, they are either at the late stage of Dark Force in martial arts, or at the second stage of Law Intent, or even both.

Moreover, the contribution points are much more than before.

Therefore, it is not difficult to break through from the sixth level of the Transcendent Realm to the Grandmaster in four years.

However, some people did participate in the second Grandmaster Ranking selection.

Some of them deliberately held back from breaking through, while others simply hadn't reached the peak of the sixth level of the Transcendent Realm.

For example, Noah, Jiang Yunpeng, and others.

When they participated last time, they were only at the fifth level of the Transcendent Realm, still a little short of the peak of the sixth level.

Of course, the main reason is that they put a lot of resources into cultivating extraordinary martial arts. Otherwise, if all the resources were used to improve their realm, they could also break through to the Grandmaster level.

But there's no need for that!

The essence lies in martial arts and the concept of laws.

Once you've mastered the essence of martial arts and the laws of nature, your cultivation level will naturally follow.

And on this second Grandmaster Ranking.

Ye Tian won first place, Noah came in third, and Jiang Yunpeng came in fourth.

Lin Wenhao took second place!

Although these individuals have not yet created extraordinary martial arts techniques, they have all integrated the essence of martial arts into their art.

In the second Grandmaster Ranking, more than a dozen people reached this level.

It's terrifying.

Ye Tian's martial arts realm has reached the peak of Dark Force.

He is the second person after Xuan Yuan Yun Gui to reach the peak of Dark Force in martial arts before becoming a Grandmaster.

However, since Xuan Yuan Yun Gui broke through to the Grandmaster level more than a year ago, he did not participate in the second Grandmaster Ranking.

Therefore, Ye Tian's popularity surpassed that of Fang Yuanhang and Xuan Yuanyungui.

He is hailed as the number one person of the new generation.

In fact, it's mainly because Fang Yuanhang and Xuan Yuanyungui haven't appeared in the public eye much in the past few years.

In an era where extraordinary individuals and geniuses are constantly emerging.

Even the most dazzling name will inevitably be forgotten by others if it remains silent for a long time.

Of course, this does not include those few titled Grandmasters.

After all, their names can be found almost everywhere in major textbooks and martial arts classics.

Even if these people never appear, their names will continue to be passed down through the extraordinary era.

However, Origin Academy has recently been discussing giving Xuanyuan Yungui a title!
As the first person to integrate artistic conception into martial arts and create extraordinary martial arts, he truly deserved the title.

If all goes well, his title will be announced during the next Grandmaster Ranking selection.

However, it's highly likely that Xuan Yuan Yun Gui won't be able to make it onto the second Grandmaster Ranking.

After all, the number of Grandmasters at the eighth level of the Transcendent Realm has already reached fourteen.

Among them, Bai Zhengyu, Wei Lingjun, Feng Hao, Cecilia, Payne, and Situ Yanran all made breakthroughs within the last four years.

Not to mention there are also powerful seventh-level Transcendent Grandmasters like Fang Yuanhang.

Among the current seventh-level Transcendent Grandmasters, there are quite a few whose martial arts realm has reached the peak of Dark Force, numbering more than a dozen.

There are even more people who incorporate artistic conception into martial arts.

Under these circumstances, it is virtually impossible for Xuanyuan Yungui to have a chance to be listed among the Grandmasters.

In a few years, once he breaks through to the eighth level of the Transcendent Realm, there will be a considerable chance of success.

The only possible winner of the second Grandmaster Ranking is Ji Xuan!
After all, Nangong Hong won first place last time, so there's no point in participating again now.

As for Yuan Liren and Sikong Yang, although they have also broken through to the ninth level of the Transcendent Realm, they are still somewhat inferior to Ji Xuan.

Unless they can break through to the Transformation Realm, they will not be able to defeat Ji Xuan.

However, breaking through to the Transformation Realm is far more difficult than imagined.

They may have already reached the pinnacle of internal strength, seemingly just a step away, but in reality, it is like a chasm.

Nangong Hong's breakthrough was the culmination of his will in a life-or-death struggle.

It is a spark of life that bursts forth in dire circumstances, carrying great randomness and irreproducibility.

It's unknown how long it will take for others to break through to the Transformation Realm.

However, it's still uncertain whether Ji Xuan will participate in this Grandmaster Ranking selection.

In recent years, he has spent most of his time in seclusion for spiritual cultivation.

It wasn't just him; Nangong Hong, Sikong Yang, Yuan Liren, and even Li Qingxuan have rarely appeared in public in recent years.

These people are all striving to manifest the visualization and to concentrate their spiritual essence.

Like Nangong Hong, under the terrifying amplification of martial arts at the Transformation Realm level, he has completely mastered the twelve meridians and reached the peak of the Transcendent Realm.

There's nowhere left to go.

Unless he can condense a divine soul and draw source energy into his body, he cannot continue on the path of cultivation.

Otherwise, you'll be stuck at this level forever.

Therefore, he is now focusing all his energy on the visualization of the image.

However, unlike Ji Xuan's seclusion, Nangong Hong went to a cultivation secret realm in the local ice plains!

This was the path Xia Yuan had previously pointed out to him.
