Slaughter to Prove Your Dao: Unlock the Great Sage Equal to Heaven at the Start!

Chen Xing put away his stick and stood up, his eyes gleaming, his heart at ease.

The perfected C-grade superior staff technique directly brought about a qualitative leap in his attack methods!

From the previous powerful brick flying.

It has become about greater strength, more powerful momentum, and more refined skills!

Combined with his already terrifying strength and defense.

Combat capabilities have increased dramatically!

He looked at the system panel again; his kill count remained: 8320 - 1950 = 6370 points.

His gaze fell on the realm column: [Second Realm Warrior (Lower Rank)].

With the college entrance examination just around the corner, a high level of understanding is the most fundamental aspect of one's education.

It is also a direct manifestation of hard power.

The higher the realm, the greater the total amount of spiritual power.

Physical strength.

The higher the basic attributes such as reaction speed, the better.

With his current foundation, he is fully capable of making another breakthrough!

The system panel clearly displays the upgrade requirements:

Lower Second Realm → Middle Second Realm: Requires 1500 Kill Points

Mid-level of Realm 2 → Upper-level of Realm 2: Requires 2000 Kill Points

"Breakthrough! Consecutive breakthroughs!"

Chen Xing did not hesitate at all.

If not now, when?

[Ding! Consumed 1500 kill points, initiating breakthrough: Lower Second Realm → Middle Second Realm!]

The instant the command is issued.

The blood and qi in the body, which were originally flowing smoothly, suddenly boiled!

It surges wildly along the widened meridians!

The dantian and dantian experienced violent tremors.

Expand to accommodate more power!

The muscles and bones of the whole body.

The internal organs were all being washed away by this violent surge of blood and qi.

A subtle but continuous strengthening is taking place!

Strength, speed, and the sharpness of the five senses.

They are all improving at a clearly perceptible pace!

[Ding! Consumed 2000 kill points, initiating breakthrough: Mid-stage Second Realm → Upper-stage Second Realm!]

An even more violent impact followed!

If the first breakthrough was like a rushing river...

So this time it's a tsunami!

An even greater amount of Qi and blood!

It merges into the surging current, impacting that even more solid barrier of boundaries!

Click—!

It was as if some invisible shackles had been completely broken!

Chen Xing's body jolted violently.

Fine black grime seeped from the skin's surface, giving off an unprecedentedly powerful feeling.

It instantly filled my limbs and bones!

The dantian (energy center) has nearly doubled in size compared to before.

Blood and qi surge like a great river.

Second Realm Ascension!

Become!

He clenched his fist tightly.

Feeling the terrifying power surging within his body, almost overflowing.

A rough estimate of his current pure physical strength.

It's at least five times more than before the breakthrough!

Speed, reaction time, and endurance—all enhanced!

He is now confident that if he encounters that third-tier lower-level Crimson Scaled Earth Dragon again...

There was no need for a hard fight; he relied on the perfected Mountain-Crushing Staff and the strength of a second-tier upper-level cultivator.

I will surely kill him within seven moves!

I glanced at the remaining kill points:

6370 - 1500 - 2000 = 2870 points.

enough.

Keep for future use.

Perhaps unexpected situations will arise during the college entrance examination.

It can temporarily enhance a certain ability.

Or perhaps it's preparation for unlocking the Great Sage's divine powers in the next step.

Chen Xing shouldered his pack and picked up the Dragon Spine Staff.

One last look at the reassuring numbers on the system panel.

He turned and walked out of the alley.

At three in the morning, he quietly pushed open the door to his home.

The living room lights were on for him.

But his father had already fallen asleep on the sofa, snoring evenly.

The food on the dining table was carefully covered with an insulated cover.

It was a late-night snack left for him.

There was also a note lying next to it.

It was the familiar sound of my father.

The handwriting is somewhat messy:

Son, tomorrow is the college entrance exam, get some rest.

Breakfast is in the pot, just heat it up and eat. Dad believes in you.

These two simple sentences stirred a warm current in Chen Xing's heart.

It dispelled the chill of the night and the murderous aura of the past few days.

He carefully folded the note and put it away.

I quickly finished my slightly chilled late-night snack.

After washing up, I lay down on the bed.

He closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and slowly fell asleep.

Your body needs rest to be in top condition for tomorrow's challenges.

At six o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock rang on time.

Chen Xing opened his eyes, his gaze clear and bright.

There was no sign of fatigue.

Only full energy and high fighting spirit.

He got up, washed up, and went to the kitchen.

Open the pot lid.

Inside was warm congee with preserved egg and lean pork, and several fist-sized meat buns, with a wonderful aroma.

He sat down and quietly and quickly finished his energizing breakfast.

Then, I changed into a clean and crisp black training uniform.

Cover the dragon spine staff with a special cloth and carry it on your back.

One last check of the ID card:

Essential items such as Demon Hunting Certificate and Black Gold Card.

As I pushed open the door, the cool morning air rushed in, carrying with it a sense of vitality.

He walked with steady and powerful steps toward the assembly point of Shenzhen No. 1 Middle School.

The streets were getting busier, and breakfast stalls were steaming.

The city is awakening.

"Chen Xing! Good morning!"

A sharp-eyed old man who was frying dough sticks spotted Chen Xing.

He immediately waved enthusiastically and shouted, his wrinkles beaming with joy.

"Is today the college entrance exam?"

"Here, let me treat you to a fried dough stick. You absolutely have to have it!"

"It has a good meaning and brings honor to our Shenzhen!"

Chen Xing was stunned and hadn't reacted yet.

Several people nearby were wearing training clothes.

Young martial artists, clearly just returning from their morning exercise, immediately gathered around, their faces filled with excitement and admiration.

"Holy crap! It really is Brother Xing! Good morning, Brother Xing!"

"Brother Xing, my younger brother also goes to No. 1 Middle School."

"He said you take such good care of them; Class 7 of Senior Three is now very proud of you!"

"Good luck on the college entrance exam, Xing-ge! Crush those SS-level guys!"

"We, the men of Shenzhen, support you!"

Chen Xing looked at these unfamiliar things.

Yet his face was full of kindness.

Hearing those calls of "Brother Xing" warmed my heart.

He knew what he had done these past few days.

They're already part of a small circle in this city.

It left behind the mark of "Chen Xing".

He nodded to the old man selling fried dough sticks and the few young martial artists.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

"Thanks."

"I will." Seven o'clock in the morning.

The sunlight dispelled the last wisps of mist from the deep city.

The playground of Shenzhen No. 1 Middle School was brightly lit.

On the playground, nearly a thousand awakened senior high school students had already gathered.

A heavy atmosphere, as if a great battle was about to begin, filled the air.

But amidst this somber atmosphere, there was an uncontrollable restlessness.

It spread quietly as a figure appeared.

Chen Xing carried the dragon spine staff, which was covered in a cloth.

I walked steadily into the playground and headed towards the assembly area for Class 7 of Senior Three.

"It's Brother Xing!"

"Brother Xing is here!"

Good morning, Brother Xing!

"Go, Xing Ge!"

"⁎˃ᴗ˂⁎ !!"

Shouts filled with adoration.

It spread like ripples through the crowd.

Regardless of whether they are students in Class 7 or not, whether they are familiar with each other or not.

At that moment, everyone subconsciously turned their gaze to that tall and upright figure.

A calm-looking boy.

These past few days have seen "Brother Xing's" reputation and achievements.

It had already spread throughout the entire campus and even the city of Shenzhen, and was in the hearts of all the candidates.

Chen Xing is already a student at Shenzhen No. 1 Middle School.

He is the undisputed leader of this term in the entire Quan Dong province.

Chen Xing merely nodded slightly in response to the shouts around him.

He stood calmly at the front of his class's line.

His composure far exceeds his age.

This actually made the students feel more at ease.

"Brother Xing! You've finally arrived!"

Lin Moyan squeezed through the line of Class Two next to him like an eel.

He moved closer to Chen Xing, lowered his voice, and made an exaggerated expression.

"Brother Xing, I just heard some explosive news!"

"I heard that SS-rank in Kyoto, what's it called again..."

"He didn't even take the college entrance exam! He was directly admitted to Wuhan University with SSS-level special treatment!"

Chen Xing raised an eyebrow. Kyoto's SS-level was specially recruited with SSS-level treatment?

It seems that this SS-level qualification is even more valuable than expected.

"Qin Ziang of Shanghai, Ye Wushuang of Jiangnan."

A clear and pleasant voice rang out from the side, and Xia Qingyun had also come over at some point.

Today she changed into a white, practical outfit that allowed her to move around easily.

Her long, ink-wash style hair was tied high into a ponytail, adding to her heroic spirit.

She looked at Chen Xing, her deep blue eyes calm and still.

"Your opponents are them."

"Ye Wushuang comes from a military family. It is said that after awakening, he went directly to the 'Death Swamp' forbidden zone in Jiangnan to hone his skills."

"Practical experience may be richer than we imagine."

"Qin Zi'ang is the leading figure of the Qin family in Shanghai this generation, with a long tradition of learning and scholarship."

"Exceptionally talented, with a deep mind, he is not easy to deal with."

"understood."

Chen Xing nodded and memorized the two names.

The stronger the opponent, the more interesting it is.
