I asked you to practice martial arts, and you achieved the Golden Body?

More than an hour later.

Next to a rocky riverbank a hundred miles away from Shen Bailian.

Crackling!

There was a dazzling burst of lightning, accompanied by a thunder-like sound. To be precise, this was thunder.

Yuwen Changkong was suspended hundreds of meters above the ground. Because of the special nature of the holy body, he developed a function similar to magnetic levitation. In addition, he could control a small amount of heaven and earth energy to stand in the void for a long time.

Of course.

All this was thanks to the thunder bead on Yuwen Changkong's chest. It was the endless thunder energy provided by the thunder bead that could achieve this level.

The lightning jumped around Yuwen Changkong, and his figure was looming in the lightning. Blue arcs were like agile snake shadows, constantly pouring towards the ape tribe on the ground.

The ape tribe on the ground could only flee in panic, because the figure on the sky was too flashy. Even if they could throw boulders, it was difficult to hit them.

Compared with Shen Bailian's previous killing of the Fire Ape, Yuwen Changkong at this time was more like a ruthless killing machine.

Under the attack of the lightning snake with a voltage of millions of volts, the ape tribe without insulating materials was simply a dimensionality reduction attack, which was hard to defend against and could not escape.

More than ten minutes later.

The electric light on Yuwen Changkong gradually dissipated and slowly fell to a place 20 to 30 centimeters away from the ground, because the ground was covered with blood mud.

"Killing a level 18.1 second-stage mid-stage ape, points +5 points."

"Killing a level 18.9 second-stage mid-stage ape tribe leader, points +8 points."

"..."

After more than a minute, all the points obtained by the killed apes were successfully recorded on the virtual AR glasses.

"There is only one hour left until the end of the first round of the Golden Cup."

"According to my previous progress, plus the current record, I should be able to rank 10th." Yuwen Changkong couldn't help but smile.

Originally, on the 25th, he relied on electromagnetic wave detection and once reached the highest point of the points ranking, 11th place.

However, he only stopped at 11th place.

Because in the later stage, those martial arts students in the late stage of the Transcendent Realm with a physical fitness of 19.5 or above will basically not encounter any danger after investigating the surrounding terrain, as long as they don't deliberately commit suicide.

Therefore, Yuwen Changkong's ranking has been ups and downs, and finally on the 2nd, it stabilized at 11th place.

As the saying goes, human desires are endless. After being satisfied with food and clothing, there will be higher pursuits.

Yuwen Changkong is also in this situation now. After confirming that he can steadily enter the preliminary stage of the top 64, he wants to rely on his electromagnetic wave induction to directly kill the top ten.

After all, he knew his own strength, and it was impossible for him to use the Thunder Pearl plug-in during the Arena Competition.

And the martial arts students who could enter the top 64 were basically strong men in the late stage of the Transcendent Realm.

These martial arts students in the late stage of the Transcendent Realm were elites selected by each martial arts university from among thousands of martial arts students.

Especially the top ten of the Golden Cup League, when the major martial arts halls did not participate much, they were all directly occupied by martial artists in the late stage of the Transcendent Realm from the six major universities all year round.

Occasionally, there would be one or two dark horses rushing out from the major first-class martial arts universities, but the second-class martial arts universities basically had no such possibility.

Without the Thunder Pearl, Yu Wen Changkong would not have any extra fantasies about fighting against a strong man in the late stage of the Transcendent Realm who surpassed a whole level of physical fitness.

Although the eleventh place and the tenth place were only one place different, they meant something completely different to the Starry Sky Martial Hall.

...

Points: 7269

Ranking: 11

"Hmm?"

Yuwen Changkong looked at the ranking on the virtual AR glasses and couldn't help but feel confused. He murmured in a low voice: "Who is the tenth place? I got more than a thousand points this time, but I didn't surpass it. Is it that powerful?"

Yuwen Changkong, who originally planned to rest next, is now a little confused.

He turned around without hesitation and wanted to continue looking for other group-type beasts, gain a lot of points, and rush to the top ten as soon as possible.

However.

"Kacha~"

Yuwen Changkong, who was about to move, was startled. His footsteps stopped in place. There seemed to be a sound of something breaking in his ears. His deep purple eyes immediately revealed an uncontrollable surprise.

"I'm going to break through?!"

Yuwen Changkong didn't hesitate at all. He immediately clicked on the smart bracelet and chose the give up button. At the same time, the voice of artificial intelligence rang in his ears.

"You have chosen to end the first round of eliminations. The points have been locked. Please wait patiently for the support of the aerospace fighter."

Yuwen Changkong still knows clearly which is more important, a breakthrough in physical fitness or a Golden Cup League.

...

In the combat meeting room of the aerospace war base.

"Congratulations, Lao Lei, it seems that your luck has really turned this time. Changkong is only 18 years old, and he has broken through to the middle stage of the Transcendent Realm. It is expected that he will start sprinting to the Sea-breaking Realm in August or September next year."

"Indeed." Li Mingxuan sighed inaudibly, raised his head, smiled and congratulated Lei Zhentian, the representative of Xingkong Martial Palace: "If we continue at this pace, it will not break the record of Daxia for so many years. impossible."

Representatives from other universities also expressed their congratulations.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Lei Zhentian had an embarrassed smile on his face. He was still a little confused when he saw Yuwen Changkong choose to give up, but when Yuwen Changkong sent the news that he was about to break through.

He was suddenly stunned by the sudden news, and directly told him that Yuwen Changkong had broken through to the middle stage of transformation.

This incident suddenly diverted the attention of all school representatives except Cheng Shangwu from Shen Bailian to Yuwen Changkong.

After all, Cheng Shangwu had been hiding the information from Shen Bailian and couldn't give him any useful information for a long time, but there was no doubt about Yuwen Changkong's side.

It’s not like Daxia has never seen a 19-year-old Pihai Realm warrior.

Wu Lingyun of the Supreme Martial Palace is currently ranked fifth on the Tiangang Ranking, but he broke through just one day before his 20th birthday. By the time he broke through to the sea-opening realm, he had already passed his 20th birthday.

Strictly speaking, they are not considered to be 19-year-old sea-opening realm warriors, but a group of moon-holding realm warriors in the Supreme Martial Palace claim to the outside world that -

When Wu Lingyun was 19 years old, he broke through to the sea level.

As for why we should fight for such a false reputation, it involves the battle of luck.

The current mainstream trend in Daxia is to select the best from the best through the training programs of various martial arts universities and Starry Sky Martial Hall, and hold national competitions and wilderness trials.

In the end, a god-level warrior with top-level combat power who could compete with the gods was selected.

This is the line of self-improvement.

Of course, there are alternative routes, that is, becoming a god through luck, becoming a god through faith, plundering the power of gods, etc., and multiple routes develop simultaneously.

Generally speaking, Daxia as a whole is still in a state of exploration regarding how to resist the gods and become a new god.

However, one thing is confirmed.

That is, if a warrior can withstand pressure, the greater his reputation, the stronger his luck, the greater his chance of breaking through, and his greater chance of becoming a Martial God.

Moreover, judging from the various forces within Daxia, no matter which party they are, they definitely hope that their martial arts students can be the first to embark on the steps to ascend to the gods.

Especially for the major martial arts halls that are above the six major universities, the principals of each university hold a fire in their hearts, a fire of "I can replace them."

"Record breaking? A 19-year-old sea-opening realm warrior?"

Cheng Shangwu publicly congratulated Lei Zhentian, but in his heart he didn't care much about it.

Although Ji Chenghu and Duan Wuya did not tell Cheng Shangwu specific information about Shen Bailian's physical fitness, he found after several days of observation that it was definitely not as simple as the early stage of transformation.

If calculated based on Shen Bailian's current cultivation speed, Shen Bailian is now 17 years old, and Shen Bailian's birthday is April 25th, which means one thing.

Shen Bailian is very likely to become the only 18-year-old sea-opening realm warrior in the history of Daxia!

"What's wrong with you?" Yu Linglong looked at the dazed Cheng Shangwu next to her, patted him on the shoulder, and couldn't help but reveal an awkward smile on her face, and asked with a smile: "Are you angry with me?"

When Cheng Shangwu heard this, he was about to shake his head in denial, but when he thought about it, he immediately showed a pitiful expression and nodded.

"Okay." Yu Linglong smiled awkwardly. She also felt that she had gone too far just now. She glanced at the representatives of other schools and said through her mental power: "I will make it up to you when I go back."

Compared with forced sound transmission, mental sound transmission is more secretive and less likely to be detected by other people.

But if you want to achieve stable mental power transmission, you need at least late second-order mental power.

"Yes!" Cheng Shangwu nodded, feeling happy in his heart, but on the surface, he still pretended to be depressed.

…

As time goes by, the first knockout round of the Gold Cup League has entered the final stage.

Even though each martial arts student tried his best to catch up, due to the killing of thousands of martial arts students, the number of ferocious beasts in the Wutai Mountain training site dropped off a cliff.

Many ferocious beasts with higher IQs choose to hide, and not all martial arts students have the same abnormal investigative abilities as Shen Bailian and Yuwen Changkong.

Therefore, the performance rankings have gradually stabilized, and many martial arts students have chosen to take advantage of this last period of time to look for some low-year talents and treasures.

On a rugged highland.

At the Wutai Mountain trial site, where the temperature reached 50 or 60 degrees Celsius, the smell of blood filled every space within a hundred meters with the breeze.

And in the mountains and forests not far away, there were many ferocious beasts whose heads were pierced by heavy arrows, and their deaths were unimaginable.

Above the sky, dozens of ferocious birds that looked like vultures were hovering hundreds of meters in the air, daring not to come down.

Just because there is a terrifying figure below.

[Congratulations, you have obtained 3 points of divine substance. 】

【Divine Substance: 1083】

"Not bad." Shen Bailian glanced at the panel and found that the divine substance was about to break through 1,100 points. This was undoubtedly good news for him.

According to his guess, the reason why the divine skill [Shadow] cannot be upgraded is because the active effect has not been activated.

Shen Bailian cannot always rely on divine materials to refresh the CD, because it is too expensive. It takes 100 divine materials to refresh once.

So it is necessary to spend divine materials to upgrade it.

Moreover, at this stage, if the three advanced skills of Gale, Tiangang Qi, and Iron Body want to be advanced again, it also needs to consume 1000 points of divine materials.

Shen Bailian slowly walked to another dead silver armored demon wolf. Its head had been shattered into a paste, and there was a huge wound on its body, and the bones could be clearly seen.

As soon as he approached, a strong smell of blood came to his nose.

Shen Bailian ignored it and stood next to the silver armored demon wolf. After staying for nearly a minute, he obtained three more points of divine materials.

However, in more than ten minutes, the divine material reached an astonishing 1150 points.

Finally.

At 2:00 p.m. on November 3, all the martial arts students who were still in the Wutai Mountain Trial Field unlocked their smart bracelets at the same time and received multiple messages from the organizer of the Golden Cup League.

"The first round of the Golden Cup eliminations is over, the points are locked, and the points ranking is locked."

"In order to thank all the martial arts students for their contributions, the Qingcheng representative will convert all the martial arts students' points into Daxia coins at a ratio of 1:100..."

"Since there are a large number of martial arts students this time, please stay where you are and wait patiently for a moment. There will be... support."

"The points ranking list is announced below, and all martial arts students can check it by themselves."

Points ranking list:

First place: Zhan Taimingyue, total points 9503 points (Sophomore martial arts student of Sixiang Academy)

Second place: Murong Fu, total points 9203 points (Junior martial arts student of Longxiong Academy )

…

Fourth place: Lu Yingzi, total score 8998 (a junior martial arts student at Tiangang Academy)

…

Tenth place: Shen Bailian, total score 7833 (a freshman martial arts student at Tiangang Academy)

…

Fifteenth place: Yuwen Changkong, total score 7269 (the ninth saint of Xingkong Wudian)

…

Fifty-fourth place: Han Tiemei, total score 3455 (a junior martial arts student at Tiangang Academy)

Fifty-fifth place: Wang Haoran, total score 3369 (a junior martial arts student at Tiangang Academy)

…

After the ranking list was announced, everyone immediately looked at the ranking list out of habit, and surprisingly, the first place was a sophomore martial arts student.

However, Zhan Taimingyue was not without a reputation in the martial arts university community. Although it was a little unreasonable, it was much more reasonable when I thought about the other party's identity as a bloodline warrior, who was good at long-term combat.

The second to ninth places were all within everyone's expectations. They were firmly occupied by the geniuses of the six universities, and they were all "familiar people".

However, when it came to the tenth place.

"Fuck!"

"Junior Brother Shen's ranking is so high!"

Wang Haoran couldn't help but exclaimed, his eyes fixed on the light screen in front of him.

He was so shocked that he almost doubted his eyes, so he rubbed his eyes in a hurry and tried to refocus to make sure it was not an illusion.

Although Wang Haoran had seen Shen Bailian's strength on December 2, he was in the top ten of the points ranking!

There was actually a freshman martial arts student in the top ten, which was simply unprecedented.

Not only Wang Haoran was shocked, but all the martial arts students in the Wutai Mountain Trial Field were stunned. Some people couldn't help but have an absurd idea in their hearts, that is, Shen Bailian opened the back door of the sky eye.
