Republic of China Era: Entering the Dao through Divine Strike.

Li Xin nodded to himself, extremely satisfied.

Next, we will focus on strengthening our mental attributes.

"Spirit is the foundation of the soul and the origin of perception."

It is the only reliance for resisting evil and sinister arts and mental attacks; it must be at the forefront of the three-dimensional attributes.

"Moreover, Nezha, the Third Prince, has reached the second level of Divine Intent. To break through to the third level of Divine Intent, he must have a mental attribute of forty points."

The gap is significant now, so laying the groundwork and accumulating experience beforehand will ensure that any improvement is worthwhile.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Xin poured all of his remaining twenty points of faith power into his mental attribute.

With five consecutive improvements, the spirit value steadily increased.

Boom!

A far more powerful and condensed spiritual force than before instantly gathered and exploded between his brows.

Li Xin's brow twitched wildly, and his mind was clearer and more lucid than ever before.

Thinking speed, perception accuracy, and mental reaction speed increased several times in an instant.

Every subtle movement, airflow, and sound around me was clearly perceived.

With a slight thought, the white paper laid flat on the table moved on its own, even without wind.

At that moment, he could clearly distinguish the thickness, weight, and texture of the paper solely through his mental perception.

Even the finest textures on the paper can be perceived with remarkable precision.

Li Xin slowly closed his eyes and activated his permanent secret technique, [Void Reflection].

In an instant, my vision was completely transformed and elevated.

An invisible spiritual gaze penetrates the walls, crosses the courtyard, and passes through the cracks in the doors and windows.

It transforms into countless tiny arcs, radiating outwards in all directions.

Every scene, person, and movement within a radius of 150 meters was captured without exception.

It's like being there in person, seeing it with your own eyes.

Between the flowerbeds and the pavilion, the younger sister, Xiaoyue, was playing with two small wooden puppets, fighting them with her left and right hands.

He muttered incantations, mimicking the moves from today's martial arts competition, making a series of slapping sounds.

She was filled with regret at not being able to go to the training ground to watch the martial arts competition in person.

They could only simulate the fight by listening to the visuals...

Outside the main gate of the mansion, many martial arts practitioners from Beijing who were on good terms with the Bagua Boxing School came to offer their congratulations and pay their respects.

Many astute businessmen from the capital also lined up with generous gifts.

At the alley entrance not far away, Zhang Yourong and Shen Xinlan, accompanied by a group of guards, arrived quickly with smiles on their faces...

All scenes within sight, not enclosed or obstructed, are clearly reflected in the divine soul's vision.

No blind spots, no dead angles.

"Once the mental attribute breaks through forty points, one should be able to transform into a true divine consciousness, achieving the ability to see with thoughts, probe with divine sense, and perceive from afar."

A glimmer of hope flashed through Li Xin's mind. He suppressed all other thoughts for the time being and looked at his own condition.

Name: Li Xin

Age: 12/102

[Constitution: 34.8] Talents: (Critical Hit, Energy Regeneration)

[Agility: 33.5] Talents: (Lightness, Quick Hands)

The embryonic form of the true essence of Taoist arts: the character "生" (life/birth).

[Confidence: 1.6]

Faith arises from love, and the mind is boundless.

……

All three-dimensional attributes have been significantly improved, and all shortcomings have been addressed.

His spiritual perception has undergone a significant transformation, resulting in an overall increase in combat power.

Li Xin slowly stood up, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

"I must go to the palace tomorrow to be officially awarded the title of Martial Arts Champion... otherwise, my words will not be proper."

Deep down, he was unwilling to step into the forbidden area of ​​the palace.

Within the imperial palace lies the "Peace and Prosperity" array, a powerful formation specifically designed to suppress all martial artists and powerful figures in the land.

The stronger a martial artist is, the more severe the suppression they will be under the control of the imperial court.

In the past, when his strength was not yet apparent and his reputation was not yet established, he did not feel a strong sense of suppression.

They may now be the primary target of the large formation.

"However, things are different now."

Li Xin looked up and gazed towards the direction of the imperial city.

"I hope I can enter the palace tomorrow and receive my title peacefully. If someone is foolish enough to do so, then I can't blame myself."

Li Xin's gaze returned to the progress of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's Divine Intent Level 1 at 16% on the panel, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

The road ahead may be full of storms, but only by being invincible can one face everything without fear.

……

Requesting monthly votes.

Chapter 172 Since you've seen me, why don't you kneel?

The next day, at Chen Shi (7-9 AM).

As dawn broke and the morning sun shone brightly over the streets and alleys of the capital.

The majestic imperial city stands quietly in the morning light, its vermilion palace walls towering solemnly.

A simple blue-canopied carriage came to a steady stop outside the main gate of the palace.

The carriage curtain was lifted, and Li Xin stepped down, his posture upright and his demeanor composed.

The Xintinghou sword, with its black sheath and silver patterns, hung diagonally across his shoulder, exuding a sharp and menacing aura.

Looking up, the square in front of the palace gate was already teeming with people.

All 143 newly appointed martial arts scholars who passed this year's martial arts examination gathered here.

People gathered in twos and threes, exchanging greetings and trying to establish rapport.

Laughter and friendly greetings filled the air, creating a lively atmosphere.

Having witnessed yesterday's thrilling final showdown, where one person crushed masters from all over the country to determine the champion, I can say that I witnessed the grand scene of yesterday's final showdown where one person crushed masters from all over the country to determine the champion.

The tension and anxiety in everyone's hearts had completely dissipated.

At this moment, all that remained on everyone's faces was a relaxed sense of relief.

And the ecstatic joy of passing the imperial examination and achieving great success.

Everyone has expectations for the future hidden in their eyes.

After ten years of martial arts training and arduous study, enduring rigorous martial arts tests and competing against nations, he has finally earned official rank and recognition from the imperial court.

In the future, he will most likely be granted an official position, take command of troops, and rise through the ranks.

To truly realize the life aspiration of sitting in a high-ranking official's seat and riding a fine horse...

The atmosphere was always great.

Until Li Xin slowly approached.

All the martial arts graduates who had been chatting and laughing suddenly stopped and turned to look at him.

The previously lively laughter and conversation vanished instantly.

All eyes fell on Li Xin, their expressions complex and difficult to describe.

There was a sense of awe, envy, and a deep sense of apprehension.

In yesterday's battle, Li Xin swept aside the four great masters and crushed the evil magic of the Japanese gods.

They stormed to the top with absolute invincibility...

This level of strength far exceeded the comprehension of everyone present.

For this group of newly appointed military scholars, Li Xin was no longer a worthy opponent.

Rather, it is a lofty and unattainable existence.

The crowd parted to create a path, and no one dared to approach and talk to them, nor did anyone dare to look at them casually.

Not everyone is like that.

A burly and imposing figure strode out from the crowd.

It was Zhang Dingjia who yesterday lifted a 3,000-jin (1,500 kg) giant cauldron, causing him to vomit blood and nearly being crushed to death by the falling cauldron.

Yesterday, he was fierce, arrogant, and competitive, his inherent arrogance and fierceness undeniable.

Today, however, the fierceness of the competition has faded, replaced by the composure of a newly appointed scholar, his face full of honesty and sincerity...

He quickly walked up to Li Xin and bowed deeply to the ground.

"Brother Li, I was momentarily distracted yesterday and did not have the chance to thank you in person."

"Looking back, it was truly impolite..."

If it weren't for Brother Li's intervention to deter me, and the iron cauldron hadn't been allowed to fall, I would certainly have been in grave danger.

Mr. Zhang will forever remember this life-saving grace, and has come today to express his gratitude.

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand, lifted the hem of his robe, and was about to kneel down to perform a grand ceremony, his posture extremely solemn.

Li Xin raised his hand and gently supported his arm, shaking his head with a smile.

“Brother Zhang, there’s no need for that. It was just a small favor, nothing to do with saving a life.”

"Yesterday, you knew that the cauldron was overloaded and your body could not bear it, but you still exerted all your strength, unwilling to be looked down upon by the foreigners."

This courage and backbone are truly remarkable.

No one would stand idly by in that situation.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dingjia felt even greater respect for him.

He exerted force with his waist and hips, trying to force himself to bow and kneel, to complete the ritual thoroughly.

After exerting all their strength, they were shocked to find that Li Xin's seemingly casually raised hand was as steady as a pillar supporting the sky, heavy and stable.

Not moving.

He possessed unparalleled strength, which he was very proud of, and could lift a giant cauldron weighing thousands of kilograms.

Before this palm, they wriggle and squirm like children, weak and powerless.

A tremendous sense of disparity instantly enveloped my entire being.

Zhang Dingjia's cheeks flushed instantly.

Fortunately, he was exposed to the sun and rain all year round, and his skin was dark and reddish, so he didn't look too embarrassed.

So, she stopped struggling, got up, and bowed deeply once again.
