I am a high-level martial arts master.

"Just as I thought..."

Ye Li's eyes lit up as he looked at the [White Strongman] +18 displayed in front of him.

The effect of this purple attribute is absolutely amazing!

It can balance the values ​​between entries.

The effects are cumulative.

Ye Li had previously felt that adding too many points to a strong character was a waste.

Breaking through to the Acquired Perfection Realm at this moment is like a pillow coming to someone who's been sleepy!

Almost instantly, Ye Li's eyes lit up as he rapidly reduced the power level of [White Strongman], transferring all the excess combat power to [Dragon Body]. [Strongman] +12: Physical attributes increased by 91%.

[Dragon Body] +19: A single bone acupoint grants an additional 20% increase to physical attributes.

The maximum effect is achieved when both phases are balanced.

As the two terms overlapped, Ye Li felt the power within his body surge continuously.

He clenched his fist slightly, and a powerful burst of brute force erupted from Ye Li's body.

Body Tempering Perfection is 10, stacked with 3 times Perfect Body Tempering, 6.5 times at Ten Revolutions of Heavy Yuan, 1 times at Late Acquired Stage, 3 times at Perfect Acquired Stage, 206 bone acupoints, [Strong Person], [Dragon Body]...

(That's roughly it, it took about an hour to calculate.)

At this moment, Ye Li's normal stats are already 5 times stronger than those from Body Tempering, and with the addition of Dragon Joy, they are approximately 25 times stronger.

If the triple effects of [Blood Rage], [Dragon Blood], and [Explosion] are combined, the combat power can probably reach 120 million.

Based on the average value of 7 for beginners with a blank slate and a high level of innate ability, this is roughly 20 times the effect of a beginner with a high level of innate ability.

Next comes the fourth layer effect of the Azure Dragon Crossing Calamity Technique!

Ye Li closed his eyes and sensed it; it was called Dragon Rebirth!

Dragon Rebirth: Upon death, the user enters a near-death state, gaining a buff that increases their status by 100% for the duration of an incense stick burning. It can only be activated again after one day. This effect is a bit convoluted, and Ye Li pondered for a moment what it meant to enter a near-death state after death.

In short: When Ye Li's health is depleted, remove negative effects, forcibly restore 1% of health, increase all attributes by 100% for 15 minutes, and the skill has a 24-hour cooldown.

"This is working quite well."

Ye Li's eyes lit up; this was practically an extra life for nothing.

With this effect, many unexpected events can be avoided, and all kinds of sneak attacks can be avoided.

"Not bad, not bad."

Ye Li nodded in satisfaction; the results of this trip to the cave were truly pleasing to him.

The dragon maiden floated to the side, gazing at Ye Li's current state, and also offered her assessment:

"At your current peak, you are roughly equivalent to the top 100 on the list of geniuses of all nations."

Um?"

Upon hearing the Dragon Girl's assessment, Ye Li paused for a moment and said, "Me? In the top 100?"

He asked with a hint of uncertainty, "Can I really make it into the top 100 right now?"

Ye Li wasn't lacking confidence in his own strength; rather, the universe was simply too vast.

After all, the entire universe is boundless, and the population is nearly infinite. With such a massive population base, Ye Li felt he might not even make it into the top thousand. This made the Dragon Girl speechless. "Do you want to see the normal strength of a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator?"

The normal value of the Condensed Pulse is 7290, while Ye Li's peak value is 240 million, which is almost comparable to the effect of a top-tier purple stat. Add an 8x speed bonus... "Although I haven't been out of the world for over a hundred years, the outside world shouldn't have changed much in just a century."

The dragon girl gently rubbed the dragon horns on her forehead and said:

"Do you think those orange-colored entries in the universe are just commonplace?"

"Moreover, the oldest person on the entire Prodigy Ranking is 25 years old, and only martial artists who have reached the Innate Realm level can be included. Under these circumstances, it is already very conservative for you to be in the top 100."

"After all, martial artists awaken their cultivation abilities at the earliest age of 12, and then they only have about ten years of training time in between."

"Anyway, around the beginning of the month, you can prepare to become famous throughout the world. At that time, you can consider which southern barbarian sect will find you first."

Upon hearing what the Dragon Girl said, Ye Li immediately became curious.

Previously, I had no understanding of the overall situation in the universe, so now I can use the Dragon Girl's words to explain it.

The dragon maiden paused slightly, noticing Ye Li's confusion, and slowly said:

"In short, all you need to know is that the three kingdoms of Zhongzhou are the strongest and occupy the best locations."

"As for the Southern Barbarians, they are a bunch of wild and unruly barbarians. Although there are hundreds of sects, each with the foundation of a Martial Saint, they are a disorganized mess. They are quite protective of their own and extremely xenophobic. You are fortunate to have been born here."

"What about Wei Wanxi's Ji Kingdom?" Ye Li asked curiously.

The Dragon Girl pondered for a moment and said:

"Equality, absolute equality. Whether it's a white or gold tag, once someone reaches adulthood, they'll all be kicked out to complete the mission."

"There is absolutely no bias; that's the characteristic of the Ji Kingdom."

"But at the same time, as long as you can complete the task assigned to you by Ji Kingdom, even if you are a white-level character, you can still break through to the Innate or even Grandmaster level by relying on a massive amount of merit."

Ye Li nodded silently. Thinking about it this way, there was no need to worry about V Xiaowei's safety.

After scanning his surroundings, Ye Li decided not to stay there any longer now that he had broken through to the Perfection of the Acquired Realm.

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Li said:

"How are we going to get out of here? And your grotto is about to collapse, isn't it? This crimson-gold palace probably won't last much longer either."

The dragon girl's pink, long tail lightly brushed against Ye Li's arm:

"This crimson-gold palace has already recognized my soul's origin as its master. When I... took over the body before, I had already considered this issue. As long as I had a thought, I could shrink the entire crimson-gold palace to the size of a mere particle and incorporate it into my soul."

When the topic of possession came up, the Dragon Girl looked somewhat resentful, worried that Ye Li would once again use veiled insults against her.

Upon hearing the Dragon Girl's explanation, Ye Li lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying:

"Those innate beings outside revealed their killing intent as soon as I entered, but they probably wouldn't dare to make a direct move. They would likely overwhelm me with a massive amount of acquired beings."

"The exit of the cave should be fraught with danger now, all waiting for me to get out."

"Although I am strong enough now, one man can't fight four hands. If there are any strange effects associated with this, going out directly could easily provoke a hostile reaction against Ye Li." He then looked at the Dragon Girl and asked, "Can you teleport me to another location directly?"

"That's possible. I have hidden spaces in other small countries."

"However, those small countries are hundreds of millions of miles away from Xia Kingdom. If you want to return to Xia Kingdom, it will probably take ten or eight years!" the Dragon Girl said calmly. Hearing that the distance was so far, Ye Li hesitated for a moment before shaking his head and saying:

"It's been too long. Just send me directly to the exit of the Xia Kingdom Cave Heaven."

The Dragon Girl nodded slightly, and the stream of light formed from her remnant soul completely merged into the depths of Ye Li's sea of ​​consciousness.

As the remnant soul of the Dragon Girl disappeared, Ye Li's true energy surged, completely covering his body, and he entered alert mode.

At the same time, the entire majestic crimson-gold hall emitted a deep hum.

The crimson gold light shone brightly, and the ancient runes on the wall swirled wildly.

The massive palace rapidly shrank and collapsed at a visible speed, eventually transforming into a barely perceptible speck of crimson-gold light that entered Ye Li's brow. The next instant, a spatial repulsion force enveloped Ye Li.

The scene before his eyes blurred and distorted instantly, his body feeling as if it had been thrown into a raging torrent, piercing through layers of crumbling spatial barriers. Just as Ye Li's figure vanished...

On the edge of the core of this secret realm, ravaged by violent spatial turbulence and on the verge of complete annihilation.

A figure stood silently amidst the storm of destruction.

It was the mysterious woman in black robes and a mask who had entered the cave with everyone earlier!

The spatial turbulence, powerful enough to tear apart the innate, dissipated and vanished as if it had hit an invisible barrier a few feet away from her, unable to penetrate her. She seemed to exist independently outside this collapsing world, impervious to all laws.

The woman's gaze swept over the spot where Ye Li had disappeared. Then, a fair and jade-like hand emerged from the wide black robe and gently beckoned to the void.

hum!

Countless "Reverse Age Original Sand" particles, shimmering with a dark golden hue and scattered along the edges of the spatial rift, were drawn together by an invisible force, transforming into fine golden streams that crossed the chaotic space and converged in her palm, where they were swallowed by an invisible vortex.

This action seemed to have pulled away the last straw supporting this dying cave, accelerating its complete collapse.

After doing all this, the woman's figure swayed slightly, like ink merging into water, and disappeared silently into the raging torrents and the annihilating darkness, as if she had never existed.

All that remained was a grandmaster's grotto-heaven that had existed for countless years, silently fading into oblivion.

Meanwhile, the moment Ye Li's figure appeared in the outside world...

Before the dizziness from the spatial teleportation had completely subsided, Ye Li immediately opened his eyes and looked at everything in front of him.

The mustard seed-like light that the Crimson Gold Palace had transformed into merged into his brow, and his feet were already on the bluestone ground outside the imperial palace in the capital of Xia Kingdom.

Just as he had predicted, things turned out exactly as he had expected.

He was met with a suffocating silence!

Hundreds of half-step Xiantian martial artists, like silent stone statues, densely formed a huge circular killing formation, staring at him with indifferent eyes.

Each person was enveloped in a condensed, tangible aura of internal energy of various colors, which interconnected to form a vast network of light covering the entire palace area.

"That's him!"

With a desperate roar, Ye Li suddenly felt his body freeze, as if his legs were sinking into quicksand!

【Purple - Difficult to Move】: When used, both the enemy and the player will be bound by the same amount of their own power when moving.

[Purple - Multiplier]: When cast, it can increase the physical attributes of a designated friendly unit by an additional 10 times (the stacked value cannot be multiplied with other attributes of the same quality).

[Purple Indestructible Golden Body]: When cast, it can increase the physical strength of a designated friendly unit by 50 times (the stacked value cannot be multiplied with other affixes of the same quality).

[It's impossible to move an inch!]

This is a term that describes a situation where both the enemy and the ally are simultaneously bound, similar to Ye Li's previously mentioned shrinking gauntlets.

At this moment, Ye Li's figure appeared.

Three purple descriptors are activated simultaneously!

The [Multiplication] and [Indestructible Body] buffs are applied to martial artists who possess the [Difficult to Move] attribute.

The cultivator at the Condensation Realm, possessing the ability to "make it difficult to move an inch," instantly had their defense increased 60 times, while their strength increased tenfold.
