With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 372 Heading to the Northern Alliance of Mountains and Seas to Win the Championship and Become the Invincible Heavenly King!

A mirage, where mountains and water blend seamlessly, faintly emerges from the water's surface.

The other person's blood does indeed contain some kind of "guidance".

The mountains that appeared and disappeared in the sky were very similar to the sacred mountains depicted in the murals, with palaces and halls.

Meng Chuan gazed intently, and after a moment, the scene transformed into a shower of green rain that vanished without a trace.

Having come this far, he no longer hesitated.

Moreover, Meng Chuan was also eager to know what exactly Brahma was all about.

Sacred mountains, palaces, crocodile demons, and Brahma, who is subtly involved in the events.

These are things that the higher-ups of the Great Chu have never publicly mentioned, and no information about them can be found online.

Even within the UN General Assembly, no related news has been released.

Meng Chuan guessed that there must be some kind of confidentiality regulations restricting those who knew about it.

It was due to insufficient martial arts skills, or perhaps the truth was too shocking.
He will personally unveil the mystery of these things.

Just as Meng Chuan had always thought, martial arts is not just about hard training, but also a journey of exploration.

The mystery of this place also haunted Meng Chuan's dreams.

The murals depict Brahma, the eerie rituals of the crocodile-man, and the dome hidden within a mirage.
The intensity of the demonic energy in 【Huangsha011】 is accurate.

The martial arts he possessed at that moment were enough to serve as the key to unlocking the mystery.

"It's all here."

Just as Meng Chuan was "heading to the mountains and seas".

Little did they know, the seven-day trial had already ended.

As the Demon Nest neared its entrance, the guards began to enter and urge the participants to leave, and the Allied Trialers walked out in twos and threes.

Inside the North Union camp.

Xu Qingfeng inspected the large bag of haul, a satisfied look on his face.

After being stung by the sand scorpion, he carefully followed the three rules in the demon's nest: first sense, second look, and third pass.

Be cautious and meticulous; never fight a battle unprepared.

Although most of the items in the package are lower-level materials.

But considering his military achievements, it's enough for him to live on as a martial artist for a while.

"The gains from seven days of trials are equivalent to completing several school missions. It seems like this kind of good thing will happen again next year."

For example, this trial included veteran martial artists from the previous session.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingfeng's lips unconsciously curled up into a smile.

If the event is held again next year, he will appear as "Senior Xu".

Once our strength has greatly increased, we'll reap the rewards and dominate the mid-lane!
The relatively safe and enjoyable hunting experience is also one of the advantages of the "academic" approach.

Of course, the premise is that you have the ability to hunt down the Heavenly Demons; there's no such thing as a free lunch.

After packing everything up, Xu Qingfeng hurried out when he heard someone urging him to leave.

He glanced at the battle merit statistics panel to the side.

Then, the battle merits of the person at the top of the list changed again.
[Meng Chuan: 5668→5671 battle merits, personal ranking: 1]

"Is Lao Meng still indiscriminately killing animals?"

After seven days, the combined gains of everyone in Yong'an were less than one-eighth of Meng Chuan's military achievements.
Xu Qingfeng shook his head helplessly. Sometimes he was really curious whether the other party was even human.

Recalling the scene where Meng Chuan transformed and became over six meters tall.
"A bag is not a person's."

In the distance, Wu Hong followed behind his master, preparing to retreat from the demon's lair.

Compared to the resources he gained from this trial, his greatest achievement was the growth in his mindset.

The way of martial arts is the cultivation of the mind. This understanding is a hundred times more valuable than the battle merits on the statistics panel or the Heavenly Demon materials in the storage bag.

Shang Ruyi was equally pleased that Wu Hong had had a smooth journey before meeting Meng Chuan.

After entering the martial arts world, the media reported that "another era of the United Nations General Assembly being dominated by the Tiger Form" which further propelled Wu Hong's reputation to its peak.

Then, in a direct confrontation with Meng Chuan and the other man, they competed for the true inheritance of Martial Arts.

The other party crushed all of the disciple's pride.
He suffered a crushing defeat amidst a great deal of fanfare, and was further rejected by the woman he loved.

This kid didn't choose to give up on himself or turn to jealousy.

Instead, it made him see his own shortcomings and ignited a purer passion for martial arts.

This tempered state of mind will also become the key foundation for the disciple to break through the limits in the future.

He recalled the bet he had made on behalf of him, which involved paying five thousand credits.

Shang Ruyi shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"Good that you've figured it out. At least my money wasn't wasted."

He put his arm around Wu Hong's neck and laughed:

"Kid, once you get out, focus on practicing the Dragon Tiger Stance Technique and advance to the second level as soon as possible."

"If you can break through before June, your master will give you another spear, a third-grade one."

"No need, Master, I'll save up the money and buy it myself."

Wu Hong didn't want Shang Ruyi to spend money on him again.

"The inheritance of martial arts is never a transaction. Today you have inherited my Tiger Form Technique, and in the future you should carry it forward. This is the best way to repay your master."

Upon hearing this, Wu Hong nodded emphatically.

It is his good fortune to have a good master.

After the main force of the four schools left the Demon Nest, Shang Ru looked at the statistics panel, which had already closed.

Inside the military camp not far from the entrance to the Demon Nest, the overall battle achievements of the four schools are being tallied, and the rankings have not yet been released.

After the teachers and students of the four schools gradually withdrew from the Demon Nest.

After Shang Ruyi came out, he walked into the makeshift military camp.

The quartermaster was still calculating, and although the final rankings had not yet been announced, a subtle competitive atmosphere was already permeating the air.

Shang Ruyi smiled as her gaze fell on the individual battle merit panel. No need to wait for the results; the prominent [5671] score had already secured first place for Beilian University!

Meng Chuan was ahead of Chen Xuan, who was in second place, by nearly three thousand battle merits.

Although he came in third place in this individual trial, he was still a student from Donglian University.

However, the combined military achievements of the two of them could not match those of Meng Chuan alone.
The more Shang Ruyi looked at him, the more he felt that this kid was a bit terrifying.

He clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "What a little pervert."

He could also defeat a newly ascended Heavenly Demon when he was a martial artist.

But each one was a major battle, and after each battle, a long period of recuperation and recovery was required.

Unlike the other side, who is tireless, like a bulldozer in a demon's den.

For example, Shang Ruyi felt that Chen Xuan's combat power was not much inferior to Meng Chuan's, given the support of a fourth-grade True Martial.

But the difference in their military achievements speaks volumes.

To achieve a record like Meng Chuan's, incredible strength is only one aspect.

The key is to persevere.
In the distance, the teacher leading the group from the East Union University, [Zi Yunxian·Lan Caixia], slowly strolled over.

Despite being a martial arts master, she is nearly sixty years old.

Her figure remained as graceful as a bamboo shoot, her skin firm and radiant, her eyes both stern and gentle, every smile and frown exuding unparalleled elegance.

The path of martial arts is long, and these female martial artists are like expensive red wine.

The older it gets, the more charming it becomes.
She was also looking at the battle merit statistics panel, her eyebrows slightly raised, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

With just one limit, he amassed nearly six thousand battle merits in seven days.

This achievement is unprecedented, if not unparalleled.

Lan Caixia parted her lips slightly, her tone filled with envy:

"Master Shang, it is truly a great blessing for your Northern Alliance to have such a student."

"Perhaps decades from now, he will be another invincible king, just like Principal Sui, reaching the pinnacle of martial arts. Even the Great Sage has a great chance of achieving that."

Shang Ruyi smiled and said:

"Meng Chuan is indeed impressive, but he is still young, and it is too early to say such things now."

However, Principal Sui also has high hopes for this young man, who is also a promoter of the master class that does not require entrance exams.

It was Principal Sui's visionary leadership and his decision, made despite strong opposition, that led to this decision.

Upon hearing this, Lan Caixia couldn't help but sigh:

"Principal Sui truly deserves to be called the number one king; his vision alone is unmatched."

"Your school's Chen Xuan is not bad either, but he loses in terms of stamina and endurance."

Lan Caixia nodded involuntarily as she recalled Meng Chuan's exaggerated physique.

"What are the child's special qualities? His physical abilities are extraordinary, which is definitely an advantage."

"I don't know, but the Northern Alliance gave it a name: the Horizontal Training Sacred Body."

Principal Sui believes that Meng Chuan's quality, in terms of the blessing of the "essence" path, is no less than the blessing of the "non-leaking samadhi" in Buddhism in terms of the "spirit".

This is likely one of the most exceptional qualities never before awakened, not only aiding in external physical training but also greatly enhancing comprehension, allowing for the flourishing of both hard skills and fist techniques, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.

Shang Ruyi affirmed that this was "unprecedented".

If someone had possessed the same trait before, such an abnormal ability would not have failed to rise to prominence.

Of course, Meng Chuan's own efforts cannot be ignored; he had also heard rumors about 4 a.m. and the twelve-year-old Guoyiquan.
After waiting a while longer, all the teachers and students inside the Demon Nest, except for Meng Chuan and Chen Xuan, withdrew.

At this point, the final rankings of the four schools have been released.

The North Associated University unsurprisingly won first place with a total battle merit of 11008.

Meng Chuan scored more than half of the points single-handedly; his performance can only be described as terrifying.
While waiting for the other party to come out, Shangru immediately told Principal Sui the good news.

[Please have Secretary Li convey this to Principal Sui: in this four-university trial, the Northern Union University came in first place.]

There was static on the other end of the phone.

A man coughed; it was Sui Chunqiu who answered the phone.
"No need, Xiao Shang, I'm not practicing right now. What did you say was wrong?"

Shang Ruyi repeated it again.

On the other end of the phone, Sui Chunqiu said:

[Great, are all the students safe?]

Shang Ruyi smiled and said:

Everyone has emerged safely, except for one person who was seriously injured due to recklessness, and three others who sustained minor injuries, but they are now out of danger and in stable condition.

He paused for a moment, then continued:
Only Meng Chuan hasn't come out yet; he's still inside the demon's lair. The Yellow Sand 011 is too vast; the garrison hasn't found where that kid ran off to.

Meng Chuan deserves more than half the credit for our victory over Donglian this time.

Upon hearing this, Sui Chunqiu simply hummed in response, as if everything was within his expectations.

[Principal Zhao of the Western Union previously told me that there is a temple deep within the Yellow Sands 011. This kid might have gone inside. You guys go back first, don't worry about him.]

Shang Ruyi hesitated for a moment before replying:

Should I go in and look for it, just in case?

Sui Chunqiu's voice came through, like a reassuring pill.

"Nothing will happen; I have a backup plan with Meng Chuan."

【clear. 】

After hanging up the phone, Shang Ruyi followed Principal Sui's instructions and led everyone away first.

Martial arts are a matter of urgency; we cannot let Meng Chuan's actions delay the time of other students.

The East Union University was still waiting for Chen Xuan to come out, because when the garrison entered the Demon Nest to clean up the battlefield, Commander Yang Zhuo had already discovered Chen Xuan and was leading him back.

Now only Meng Chuan remains inside the Demon's Nest, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

Lan Caixia thought to herself:
"It seems this child has found the [Temple]. I wonder what kind of encounter awaits him."

Opportunities are often accompanied by risks; I hope this child returns safely and has gained something from the experience.
