I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

Zhu Chenying was not the only one in this martial arts arena.

In the distance, there were still a few figures in the spectator stands.

Senior Brother Luo Ping, Second Senior Sister Zhu Qingmeng, and Luo Sha Jian, Xuan Jian... all six direct disciples of Zhu Chenying were present.

Moreover, all six disciples have already entered the Transcendent Realm.

A family with seven extraordinary members is quite luxurious even in today's safe zone.

Apart from the third and fourth brothers, who were just beginning to enter the extraordinary realm, the rest of them were already senior extraordinary beings.

Xuan Jian is the representative of the mid-stage Transcendent Realm from Baijiang City in this battle, while Senior Brother Luo Ping has even stepped into the late-stage Transcendent Realm. A few months ago, the late-stage Transcendent Realm was a representative of high-level Transcendent Realm, but now it seems rather ordinary.

The six direct disciples, four of whom are senior members, have all challenged the Perfect Martial Artist and are well aware of its difficulty. "In some ways, it's even harder than passing the tenth level of the Trial Realm."

The Xuanjian murmured.

Once he reaches the Great Perfection of the Transcendent Realm and improves his incantation aura, he can see a glimmer of hope for passing the Trial Realm. The stronger he becomes through cultivation, the greater his chances of overcoming the more difficult challenges of the Trial Realm.

However, the chances of winning against the perfect martial arts performer will not increase.

"Only by using all the power you possess to its fullest extent, even pushing it beyond its limits, can you have even the slightest chance of defeating this formidable foe. It is the most perfect version of yourself."

boom!

The battle has begun.

Zhu Chenying and the perfect martial artist opposite him vanished from their sight in a flash, even the eldest brother Luo Ping couldn't keep up. All they could see were afterimages appearing and disappearing on the field.

as well as,

A crisscrossing array of fleeting, magical glows.

A swift sword strike, a slash, multiple slashes, a series of thrusts...

The spells used by Zhu Chenying were all extremely ordinary. But ordinary spells also have advantages: they are quick to cast, highly concealed, and their fluctuations are negligible.

The Perfect Martial Artist also chose this tactic.

Sword light and shadow, sometimes bursting forth, sometimes vanishing.

Shi Andu secretly cast a glance at him.

"Impressive, impressive. This dojo master has taken these ordinary spells to an art form; the application and combination of spells are astonishing."

"So this is the true strength of this gym owner?"

In Shi An's memory, Zhu Chenying was indeed not very strong.

After all, the museum owner was instantly defeated by the fake BOSS upon his appearance, but upon closer inspection, it can't be blamed on him.

Can't get past the tenth level of the Trial Realm? Others don't have that stat; they were worn down by the strange monsters.

at this time,

Zhu Chenying had already exchanged over a hundred blows with the Perfect Martial Artist, and was not at a disadvantage in the slightest.

The two figures fought with increasing ferocity, each unleashing rare spells amidst their seemingly insignificant attacks, their killing intent palpable.

Xuan Jian, Luo Ping, and the others came to learn, but they found that they couldn't keep up with the pace of the battle at all, and could only move their eyes left and right.

Shi An did observe carefully, but he also had to admit:

"Without the Eye of Absolute Gaze, it would be difficult for me to keep up with the speed and rhythm of the battles of the other masters."

Of course, he's a numbers fanatic.

If a real fight breaks out, it doesn't mean he can't beat the masters, but there are many aspects of the masters' fighting skills that are worth learning.

The absolute gaze captures the movements and details of the various masters, while the all-seeing eye sees through the flow of magical power.

In a short while, Shi An seemed to have an epiphany.

At this point, the battle escalated further.

After two hundred moves, both figures sustained minor injuries.

After four hundred moves, they were covered in sword wounds, looking quite disheveled, but still incredibly powerful.

at last,

"boom!"

The masters of the various martial arts schools traded injuries for injuries and even their lives for lives, and he ultimately won by a mere half-move.

The perfect martial arts performer died.

The owners of the museum were also dying, with only their last breath remaining.

It was almost a mutual destruction, but in the martial arts arena's judgment, he was indeed the winner.

"Phew!"

Zhu Chenying gasped for breath.

"In the past few decades, I have only been this humiliated a handful of times."

But lately, he's gotten used to it.

He was being brutally killed by the perfect martial artist every day until today, when he finally won by a narrow margin.

As if he had overcome his inner demons, Zhu Chenying felt his mind was clear and his mental strength was increasing.

He felt a surge of relief!

The battle was exhilarating!

If he hadn't come to the safe zone, he wouldn't have been able to have such an exhilarating battle, let alone fight every day.

At this moment, the perfect martial artist turned into specks of golden light and dissipated, while the dying Zhu Chenying, under the influence of the rules of the martial arts arena, was recovering from his injuries at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, he is not suited to engage in such intense and dangerous battles for the foreseeable future.

We need to take a break.

Luo Ping and the others jumped down from the high place to check on their master's condition.

The original purpose of this battle was simply to fight, at most to verify whether the Perfect Martial Artist could be defeated.

The dust and shadows proved this possibility.

It should have ended here, but the next moment, prompt characters appeared on the ground in the distance.

"Senior Member Zhu Chenying, you have defeated the Perfect Martial Artist and have earned the qualification to exchange for 'All Martial Arts Initiation'."

"Redeem now?"

"Defeating the perfect martial artist has a hidden reward?"

Xuan Jian's eyes widened. The shopkeeper had been hiding this treasure?

They really didn't expect it.

Only premium members are qualified to challenge the Perfect Martial Artist.

Only by defeating the perfect martial artist can one be qualified to witness this "All Martial Arts Initiation".

The conditions are too harsh.

The contribution points required to exchange for the Martial Arts Initiation are not low. However, compared to the difficulty of defeating the Perfect Martial Artist, this amount of contribution points is nothing. Zhu Chenying has accumulated quite a lot of contribution points. He doesn't usually need to use contribution points much. He mainly just wanders around the martial arts arena or dungeons, occasionally exchanging some cultivation treasures for a few disciples.

At this moment, he exchanged for the All Martial Arts Initiation without hesitation.

The apprentices stepped aside.

An invisible force descended.

Zhu Chenying closed his eyes, as if he had entered a boundless world of cultivation, where he honed his skills for a whole year without eating, drinking, or sleeping. When he opened his eyes again, he could clearly feel that his skills had improved considerably.

His mastery of the dozen or so spells, which he had not yet fully mastered, had also seen significant improvement.

Especially the newly learned incantation aura.

Not only that,

Within Zhu Chenying's body, an invisible power revived, and he was surprised to find that his innate talent was undergoing a transformation.

"His talent has actually transformed?!"

Zhu Chenying's talent is quite ordinary, called Speed, which can significantly improve his speed and reaction ability in a short period of time.

His ordinary talent is also related to his background.

Zhu Chenying was among the first in Great Xia to attempt to fuse with cursed artifacts and enter the Dreamers system. In the early stages, Great Xia lacked experience and rare cursed artifacts, so the foundation Zhu Chenying laid was not very solid. As a result, after he advanced to the extraordinary realm, he only awakened a very ordinary talent.

But the old saying is true: there is no such thing as a talentless person, only a dreamer who is a hopeless dreamer.

Even with such unremarkable talent, Zhu Chenying still managed to rise to the top ranks of the Great Xia's powerful figures. The spell techniques Phantom Step and Instant Sword, which are now widely known within the Great Xia, were created by Zhu Chenying.

However, due to insufficient foundation in his early years and multiple serious injuries, Zhu Chenying failed to break through to the Ascension Realm.

He had already given up hope of getting promoted in the future.

Until they arrived at the safe zone.

"But I never expected that even my talent would change! Normally, I only get one chance for my talent to change when I break through to the Ascension Realm."

"And now..."

"Speed" has transformed into "Extreme Shadow"!

The speed increase is stronger, the afterimages are more numerous, and the potential for development and growth is greater.

Zhu Chenying's physical strength, spirit, and spell power all improved as a result.

His strength increased significantly after receiving a single martial arts initiation.

Xuanjian's disciples were extremely surprised. "It's so amazing! I want to defeat the Perfect Martial Artist too! I want to be baptized by all martial arts!" But all they could do was shout.

In the short term, they saw no hope of defeating the perfect martial artist. They were all defeated within ten or twenty moves.

"However, Master, aren't you invincible now? Truly invincible in the transcendent realm, aren't you?"

Rakshasa Sword Path.

Zhu Chenying: "Naive. Don't forget that your master, me, can only rank in the top five on the Trial Realm Ranking. Obviously, the top four have already defeated the Perfect Martial Artist."

"Of course, ranking in the Trial Realm, whether or not one is invincible in the Transcendent Realm, is not important."

He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance.

The once dormant ambitions have been rekindled.

The safe zone really provided him with too much.

The store manager's kindness is never enough.

Time flies.

At this point, almost half a year had passed since the establishment of the safe zone.

That day, the representatives from the three cities, who were preparing to travel to the Land of Revelation, along with Yan Xiangtian, Wang Tieshan, and others who were escorting them, met at the Lighthouse camp. "They've arrived!"

The enormous ark slowly emerged from the gray fog, lowering its altitude.

The delegates quickly boarded the ark to save them from disaster.

Before long, the ark rose to a high place and gradually disappeared into the gray fog, sailing swiftly toward its destination.

The land of revelation.

This area is located at the westernmost end of the Whispering Forest, at the border with another area.

Although it is located in the Whispering Forest, it is far from the Red Maple Alliance area and even further from White River City.

The middle area is long and narrow, deathly quiet, with few traces of those who have fallen into dreams.

Therefore, Shi An did not set up a watchtower camp in this area.

At the westernmost edge of the safe zone lies Camp Two, nestled deep within the canyon area.

Beyond the Land of Revelation, camps were built on higher hillsides, facing each other from afar.

There are two camps built in Tiannan City.

The three cities of Baijiang share a single camp.

When Director Du of Baijiang City, along with the powerful figures from Lindong and Chongshan, arrived here, they naturally brought their trusted confidants. At this moment,

Inside one of the camps, several Dreamers were wandering around.

The leader, who called himself the Flame Demon, was a late-stage Transcendent powerhouse. He was neither from Tiannan City nor Gray Harbor City, but rather the camp leader from a neighboring region.

Their camp was located west of the Land of Revelation, not too far from here.

He was a camper, a lost soul.

Theoretically, he wasn't qualified to enter the Land of Revelation. But the Balrog refused to believe it; if other humans from Blue Star could enter, why couldn't he? If he couldn't, it must be a conspiracy by those Great Xia people and the White-headed Eagle people.

"It's almost here! The Land of Revelation is about to open, then we can just rush in."

A strongman from the camp;

The vanguard in various cities;

Everyone has their own ideas and purposes.

suddenly,

Some people are gazing eastward.

"They're here!"

boom!

In the distance, gray fog surged, and gray clouds sank downwards, as a huge multi-story ship broke through the clouds.

Above it, the national flag of the Great Xia Dynasty flew high. The flag fluttered in the wind.

"They're from the Great Xia Dynasty, from Tiannan City!"

When the ship descended to a height of several tens of meters, from the deck of the ship...

Boom boom boom boom boom!

More than twenty enormous, fiery red figures leaped from the deck, paused briefly in mid-air, and then landed heavily on the ground. "Tiannan City, Fire Fox Mechs!"

"It's said that these mechs are comparable to Transcendent Realm experts, and in some aspects, they're even stronger. Tiannan City casually dispatched over twenty of these mechs?!"

A powerful figure from a small country's camp was amazed and felt powerless.

He exerted all his strength to advance to the extraordinary level.

Their entire camp, after all these years of development, has only produced a total of three extraordinary individuals.

In Tiannan City, Chaofan was just a soldier.

Mechs cleared the way, and the ship landed.

The participants from Tiannan City filed out and quickly set up camp under the command of Jiang Xun, Fu Zhixuan, and others.

These elite troops from Tiannan City were all dressed in uniform combat attire, equipped with helmets, tactical shields, and various weapons.

A sharp-eyed supernatural being discovered that these combat suits, shields, and weapons were all actually cursed artifacts.

Even elites in the Refinement stage possess one or two cursed artifacts.

Even the most ordinary magical artifact is still a magical artifact!

"Summer South City is truly wealthy and powerful, with a profound historical foundation!"

"Moreover, there must have been at least sixty or seventy extraordinary beings present! Many of them possessed terrifying auras."

Someone murmured.

In the distance, inside the Bald Eagle camp, the blond-haired, blue-eyed powerhouse was under immense pressure.

"Our people are here!"

In a camp to the west, a man with a hooked nose spoke, a look of delight on his face.

"boom!"

A gigantic, centipede-like ship emerged from the gray clouds.

Before the centipede warship had even come to a stop, numerous powerful figures rained down from it.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom!

There were extraordinary individuals dressed in various styles, and many more—burly, muscular, and over two meters tall with pale green skin—powerful figures. "Those seem to be the super soldiers of Gray Harbor City! It's said that Gray Harbor City has developed a serum called the Hulk; by injecting this serum, ordinary people can possess power to rival extraordinary beings!"

"Moreover, compared to the mechs of Tiannan City, the super soldiers of Gray Harbor City are much easier to mass-produce!"

The materials used in mechs are very expensive.

The Hulk Warrior? Just a potion.

Even if the injection process is very risky and has a high mortality rate, it only results in the loss of some consumables.

The powerful representatives of Gray Harbor City also filed out.

They possess extraordinary ability to control storms and stand suspended in mid-air.

There was an extraordinary hand holding a gray sphere, exuding an imposing aura.

This made some powerful figures from small countries who wanted to take advantage of the situation secretly swallow their saliva.

According to the two cities, the highest level of participants could be at the mid-stage of the Transcendent realm. However, some late-stage Transcendent "big shots" present still felt immense pressure from certain individuals.

"However, the powerful ones are only representatives of Gray Harbor City and Sky South City."

Two groups of people disembarked from the centipede warship.

The other group consisted of representatives from smaller towns that were brought over from Grey Harbor City.

They looked much more ordinary, and when they stood next to the elites of Grey Harbor City, they lowered their heads and trembled with fear; their aura was more than ten times weaker.

People from small countries and strong individuals from the camps quickly regained their confidence from these "people from small towns in the modern world".

"But what about Baijiang City, Lindong City, and Chongshan City of Great Xia? Why weren't they brought along with Tiannan City?"

"Could it be that Tiannan City has abandoned these three cities? Without the guidance of a strong person from Tiannan City, the Dreamers from the three small cities wouldn't even be able to reach this area." "No, I heard that the three cities of Baijiang have their own methods, and they are preparing to come on their own."

They can come by themselves. Will they all perish on the way?

Some people think so.

Suddenly, a huge shadow was cast down.
