I am a high-level martial arts master.

The Milky Way flows.

The boundless void spread out across the vast universe.

Countless streaks of light, like speeding comets, carrying colorful glows and a majestic aura, descended upon this flat land.

Different factions, a whole bunch of prodigies.

Pure Yin Immortal Sect, Pure Love Evil Sect, Successor of Western Region Boxing Techniques...

Each of these people has their own secret skills and unique abilities.

Ye Li mingled among them, watching one force after another emerge.

Everyone here is constantly honing their skills in the Time Realm, pushing their strength to the limit that the Acquired Realm can accommodate, all in order to win the championship of this competition.

The qualification to comprehend the origins of epic entries is an irresistible temptation for any power, even a Martial Saint would be tempted.

Before long, the number of people at the scene had increased to approximately 100,000.

After all, the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Sect alone has over three hundred people, the Southern Realm Immortal Sect has nearly a thousand, and adding the other four domains, the total number is conservatively estimated at over ten thousand. Of course, most of these people are just sparring partners who will be eliminated in the first round; most are just here to go through the motions.

Take, for example, the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Sect.

Apart from Ye Li and the other three on the Prodigy Ranking, most people were just there to broaden their horizons.

Even on the list of prodigies, everyone except the top 10 remains the same, even after more than a decade of settling down.

The higher you are on the Prodigy Ranking, the greater the difference in combat power between each individual.

Ye Li watched as one person after another appeared on the bustling platform in front of him, and waited idly.

Ye Li's calm demeanor did not reflect the calmness of other factions.

"What kind of monster is this?!"

A grandmaster stared at Ye Li from a distance, his pupils dilating in shock.

The physical body, which steadily emitted heat like a star, brought them a deadly shock.

This is the day after tomorrow, damn it.

Almost every Grandmaster who brought the disciples at the Acquired Realm level stared at Ye Li as if he were a ghost after they landed. Is this thing even human?

Ye Li was oblivious, and while waiting, he kept his eyes on the panel.

After this two-week period of reflection, his stats look something like this...

Oh, wrong picture...

The following information is available for public release:

Name: Ye Li

Realm: Acquired Perfection (1/1) Ten

Cultivation techniques (techniques perfected to the point of perfection are omitted):

"Azure Dragon Crossing Calamity Technique, Level 5 (0/5000)" [Insufficient Cultivation Level]

Entry: Dazzling Colors: [Amazing Wisdom]

Blue: [Blessing of Body Tempering] [Dragon's Power] [Storm Demon-Slaying Sword] [Enemy and Foe of the Same Origin] [Strong Wind Blows] [Dragon Rebirth Continues] Green: [Swiftness] [Blood Rage] [Spiritual Awareness] [Powerful] +18 [Soul Annihilation]

Bai: [Yang Furnace] [Concealment] [Inspiration] +10 [Dragon Body] +103 [Strong Man] +21 [Jade Spirit]

[White Dragon Body]: A single bone acupoint grants an additional 1% increase to physical attributes.

[Dragon Body] +103: A single bone acupoint grants an additional 104% increase to physical attributes.

Ye Li yawned softly, staring at the values ​​displayed on the panel.

After half a month of reflection, we've finally come to this point, and this is about all we've gained.

"A battle of the elites? Finally, a competition where I can showcase my skills." Ye Li thought calmly.

But when he stood there, the aura he exuded caused the grandmasters and elders who had brought their disciples to break out in a cold sweat. This was in the past half-month, including the entries and the Five Elements Creation Pool.

Ye Li's physical body is probably tens of thousands of times stronger than it was a month ago. It has already surpassed the power brought by the second-stage cultivator that Long Yue killed. Just the effect of [Powerful] +18 has increased Ye Li's physical attributes by more than two thousand times.

With the help of [Blessings from Afterlife], Ye Li can stack the effects of all the stats onto [Powerful], relying on pure physical strength for output.

You're saying that going all-in on physical intimacy isn't safe?

What if the car overturns and someone dies in this situation?

It's okay!

Even if you die, you still have two lives as backup thanks to the [Blue Dragon Rebirth] technique!

After resurrection, use the "Gifts of the Day" skill to allocate points as needed to adapt to different environments.

Even from a distance, the group of grandmasters could sense the incredibly terrifying power of Ye Li's blood and qi as soon as they arrived.

No wonder the masters of the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Sect changed their expressions so quickly when they saw Ye Li.

This kind of monstrosity, what's the point of playing this game?

"Is this the guy who's ranked ninth?"

A strange expression appeared on the faces of the group of grandmasters:

"What kind of trump card did the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Sect give him to be able to catalyze such a transformation? Is this guy really a purple-level character? But such questions are destined to have no answer."

Even Yun Huanzi, Ye Li's master, was completely baffled. This was what happened after half a month of free-range care.

Only Shen Qinglian, who had been observing the whole thing, could guess a thing or two, but she couldn't guess the whole truth.

The only one who knew the truth, the Dragon Girl, remained silently within Ye Li's soul, controlled by Ye Li's slave seal.

At this moment, the radiant light of the Jade Star Immortal Sect in the Northern Territory descends.

Its birth immediately attracted a host of surrounding forces.

Ji Xun!

The current number one on the list of prodigies, and the most threatening opponent in the eyes of all the prodigies of this generation.

The effect of doubling in all aspects every year is terrifying.

Within a year of entering the Jade Star Immortal Sect, he had already reached the Acquired Realm in his cultivation.

Furthermore, with the infusion of a massive amount of rare and precious materials, their innate talent and comprehension power are elevated to the limit.

In this way, the effect can be maximized when undergoing a second fusion with another self.

Then, in the second year, while his innate talent and comprehension doubled, he continued to frantically increase his foundation and underwent the third fusion of self and other.

Now, after five fusions of self and others, surpassing the limits, I have long since lost count of how much my innate talent has been refined along the way.

Standing atop the starry sky, Ji Xun proudly accepted the gazes around him, as if it were only natural for those around him to look up to him.

At this moment, in his eyes, he, with his golden attribute, was rightfully to be king.

But just as he was looking on with arrogance, the gray-robed old man beside him also changed his expression slightly, looking at Ye Li in the distance in astonishment.

"Such a master exists, and he's only ranked ninth?"

The gray-robed old man recognized Ye Li's identity, as Ji Xun had mentioned him before.

He had originally paid a lot of attention to Ye Li, but mainly to his talent in becoming a Qi Condensation cultivator after only two years of cultivation.

At this moment, however, I realized that I had greatly underestimated him.

Looking down at his carefree disciple, the gray-robed elder hesitated before speaking:

"Disciple, that Ye Li is far from the ordinary person you described! This boy... is extremely dangerous! He is no ordinary purple-level cultivator! If you encounter him, you must... go all out! No, use every means at your disposal!"

At this moment, Ji Xun, who was under the spotlight, was stunned:

"Ye Li...who is that?"

At this moment, he had completely forgotten Ye Li, as if he were an ant.

After being suddenly mentioned by the gray-robed old man, he finally came to his senses and remembered who Ye Li was.

Isn't that the person on the list of geniuses who caused me trouble?

But Master said, "How could such a guy pose a threat to me?"

How is that possible?

In Ji Xun's eyes, this statement was as absurd as if Ye Li, a beggar whom he looked down upon, had suddenly become an emperor ruling the world in the palace.

Ji Xun's first thought was disbelief, but looking into the gray-robed old man's eyes, his serious expression made him suppress his disdain.

His divine sense swept across the area, locating the direction of the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Sect. His expression immediately turned cold; he hadn't expected such a thing to happen. He had always considered himself the absolute Son of Heaven! The Emperor!

At this moment, however, his master said that Ye Li, a beggar-like figure, might be able to overthrow him, which was something he could not accept.

But the next moment, a smug smile appeared on Ji Xun's face:

"Don't worry, Master, we will win!"

The old man in the gray robe paused slightly, thinking of the backup plan he had prepared for this battle.

If we act as the second mover, even the most dangerous disadvantage can be reversed, and everything will be alright.

Thinking of this, a slow smile appeared on the old man's face:

"I believe in you!"

And like Ji Xun, there are countless other prodigies.

Upon meeting Ye Li, the elders of those sects would instruct their subordinates to target Ye Li and Ji Xun as their primary adversaries.

Meanwhile, Ye Li watched the figures around him being swept away by the flowing light, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

Because among this large group of figures, the number of approximately several thousand people was different from the others, as it was suddenly refreshed.

This teleportation, which resembles instantaneous movement, doesn't possess the aura of a grandmaster; it only involves one faction.

That is the Central Continent Kingdom of Ji, which possesses the ability to teleport without distance.

At the scene in Ji Kingdom, thousands of prodigies gazed at their surroundings.

Ji State occupies one-third of the territory of Zhongzhou, and only a few thousand people have come so far, which can be said to be quite small. However, those who are qualified are also the most outstanding.

There are nearly a hundred people on the list of prodigies alone.

The strongest among them had already achieved the eighth place among the prodigies before appearing on the list last time.

"Is this the Southern Territory...? There seem to be so many powerful individuals here. With this level of strength, killing just one of them would yield a massive amount of merit points." Some people from the Ji Kingdom thought to themselves.

Wei Wanxi mingled among them, and the moment she landed, she opened her eyes and gazed at the flat ground, eagerly searching for the figure in her heart. "That guy should be here too," Wei Wanxi thought with a faint sense of anticipation.

In a short period of time, relying on her merits, she successfully raised her cultivation level to its current level, gaining the qualification to participate in this selection mission. Her clear eyes searched among the hundreds of thousands of figures before her.

With a vague premonition from her [Dao Heart Clarity], she instantly spotted a figure in the crowd.

She was still dressed in the familiar white robe, looking back at him with a smile in her eyes.

A slight flutter stirred in the girl's heart, a mixture of joy at seeing a familiar figure and worry—worry that Ye Li might have already been completely possessed. She wanted to say something, so she stepped forward to greet him.

But before Wei Wanxi could react, her body tensed up instinctively.

Ye Li's figure traversed a thousand feet in an instant, and before anyone could react, he pulled her into his arms.

Wei Wanxi felt a sudden tightness throughout her body.

Then, an extreme sense of comfort emanated from the point of contact.

It was as if countless threads of feeling were subtly seeping into her body from the person holding her.

"This feeling... is back again!" Wei Wanxi thought to herself, gritting her teeth.

She felt completely drained of strength after being embraced by this figure, leaving her utterly powerless.

Her body seemed to suddenly become incredibly weak, unable to muster any strength, wishing she could just collapse into his arms.

The Dragon Girl placed a hidden door in the "Heavenly Heart and Self-Intention Technique".

The body that first comes into contact with it has no ability to resist the practice of the Azure Dragon Crossing Calamity Method.

Originally, he intended to use this move to control Wei Wanxi and make her work for him after possessing Ye Li's body, but now it has benefited Ye Li instead.

Submitting to this body was something she directly wrote into her body's code after practicing the "Heavenly Mind and Self-Intention Technique".

Wei Wanxi felt her legs going weak and secretly resented her body for being so weak.

Suddenly, she couldn't muster any strength at all. So weak, if this body had a different owner, how could she possibly avenge Ye Li? "She hasn't been possessed."

Ye Li whispered in Wei Wanxi's ear, and Wei Wanxi's body trembled.

Feeling the body in his arms, Ye Li smiled slightly:

"I can feel your determination."

Wei Wanxi's power level is now much stronger than it was last time they met.

Even though Wei Wanxi possessed an epic attribute and was exceptionally talented, she must have put in countless efforts. Ye Li appreciated her sincerity. Gently releasing his grip, as their figures separated, Wei Wanxi almost collapsed.

Holding her breath, the girl suppressed the slight upturn of her lips and said with a straight face:

"Please keep your distance. What does it have to do with me if you've been possessed!"

"Besides, how do I know if you're lying to me? What proof do you have?"

"As for evidence..." Ye Li covered his head, looking pained.

"There are hundreds of thousands of people here. If I grab you in front of so many people, will you believe me? After all, what grandmaster would be so shameless as to do something like this?"

boom

Almost instantly, a volcanic flush rose on Wei Wanxi's face:

What... what is this lecherous man saying?! Is this something that can be said in public?!

"What, what do you mean, grabbing yourself in front of hundreds of thousands of people."

If Ye Li were to manipulate Da Lei in front of hundreds of thousands of geniuses and countless grandmasters...

Then my martial arts training career is over!

Thinking about Ye Li's previous actions, Wei Wanxi's sense of shame told her that this guy in front of her was definitely the original, genuine version of that perverted guy.

What a lecherous scoundrel!

This lecher! Pervert! Rogue! Lustful devil... He's incorrigible!

Wei Wanxi cursed inwardly, but deep down, she felt a secret joy at confirming that the body before her belonged to the original owner.

"That little thief is still alive...that's good."
