Chapter 773: Stone Tablet Enlightenment
The eight people from the ground team came to the front of the stone tablet.
There are quite a few stone tablets here, fifty-five in total, but there are people in front of almost every stone tablet.
Every ten years, eight Earth Class students enter the Holy Land. Lin Zhen and his group came in, and the group from a hundred years ago left. Normally there should be eighty people.
But in reality, the number of people in the Earth Class is less than seventy. A lot of things always happen in a hundred years. Some warriors are gone for some reason, or they leave, or they die.
But the number of people is still slightly more than the stone tablets. Most of them are comprehending one piece by one person, and some are comprehending two or three.
Only the last few stone tablets have not been comprehended by anyone, but you know without asking that the last few stone tablets must be more difficult.
The number of people who were meditating in front of the first stone tablet was the largest, with three people.
When Lin Zhen and others arrived, a chubby-looking warrior opened his eyes.
"The new students are finally here. Our batch is not the youngest anymore."
"Excuse me, is there any trick to comprehending the stone tablet here?" Huang Zun asked lightly.
The fat warrior glanced at Huang Zun and said, "There is no big trick. The key is to choose. No one can comprehend every stone tablet. For example, if you want to learn swordsmanship, you must comprehend spearmanship. That's a waste of time. Choose the one that suits you. The purpose of comprehending the stone tablets is to fight the Thirty-three Heavens Tower. It's enough to improve your strength."
"So what did you comprehend?"
"This is the Gale Step, a physical skill suitable for combat."
Hearing the fat warrior's words, everyone's eyes lit up.
Body movements are very important for a martial artist. For example, Lin Zhen's plum blossom stance has helped him many times in battle.
However, the Plum Blossom Stance still has great limitations and cannot be considered a true top-level martial art.
The Gale Step is a universal step that any warrior can learn and is useful to anyone. Several warriors were ready to learn it immediately.
However, there is an order to comprehension. According to the rules of the holy land, Lin Zhen and the other eight people are currently ranked in the last eight places, and there is no order among the eight of them.
Sorting is useful when comprehending popular stone tablets. People who are ranked higher can get a better position.
The fat warrior said, "If you want to comprehend it, you can fight each other to determine the order. Of course, you can also challenge us, but you need qualifications to challenge us."
"What qualifications are required?"
"In the Holy Land, the standard for measuring strength is the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower. We have all passed through several levels to a certain extent. If you want to challenge us, you must have passed through the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower of the same level. If you have passed more levels than us, then your ranking will automatically move up."
A warrior suddenly realized and said, "Oh! The so-called challenge can only be carried out between people of the same level?"
"That's right. Only people who have reached the same level of the tower can challenge each other. For example, if you have not reached the first level yet, you can challenge each other. If someone has passed the first level, then you are no longer eligible to challenge."
Several warriors looked at each other, and two of them turned around and left, ready to try how difficult it was to break into the Thirty-three Heavens Tower.
However, most people still don’t plan to go there now. The Thirty-three Heavens Tower should be very difficult. If you can learn the Wind Step, then it may be easier to get through.
Huang Zun looked at the people around him and said, "I want to comprehend the stone tablet of the Gale Step now. Let's decide the order. Anyone who wants to comprehend it can challenge me."
Among the people in the ground team, two of them have already followed Huang Zun's lead. Perhaps they had sparred with each other yesterday and knew that Huang Zun was very strong.
But there were also two people who challenged Huang Zun. Now no one had even entered the first level of the Thirty-three Heavens Tower, so it wouldn't hurt to have a competition with him.
Lin Zhen did not participate in the challenge, nor did he attempt to break into the Thirty-three Heavens Tower. He is currently still in the weak period of the Divine Power Pill, and it will take another two days. He will not resort to force during these two days.
After walking around, the several ground-level warriors who came with them all found the stone tablet and determined the order.
Huang Zun’s strength is still relatively strong. He won two games in a row and obtained a good position in enlightenment.
Even the loser will be ranked ahead of Lin Zhen, because Lin Zhen has not played a single game after all, so he is automatically ranked last.
But Lin Zhen was not in a hurry. Ordinary stone tablets were of no use to him. Having inherited Hei Gu's memory, Lin Zhen had actually mastered many holy land martial arts. He had already mastered the stone tablet such as the Gale Step.
It’s just that it was not convenient to reveal it before. After arriving at the holy land, Lin Zhen can slowly show what he has learned.
Seeing Lin Zhen wandering around and not participating in any challenges, Huang Zun and others showed contemptuous looks.
"A drug-addicted guy. If you don't give him the chance to transform into a black hole beast, he's a scum!" Huang Zun was very disdainful of Lin Zhen. In his opinion, the Earth Class was composed entirely of Three Flower students. It was a shame for the Earth Class that he, a Realm King, could sneak in.
"There's nothing I can do. He's an alchemist after all. It's said that the pills he makes are better than even Qian Tong's. I don't know how this kid, at such a young age, has mastered the art of alchemy to such an extent."
A warrior sighed, filled with jealousy for the fact that Lin Zhen was a seventh-grade alchemist.
"Well! What's the point of refining pills even if you are good at it? The foundation of a warrior is still martial arts. If you start to focus on refining pills before achieving immortality, it is not doing your job properly. Once your life span is over, everything will be in vain. A world king who is over a thousand years old is not a top genius. It's nothing more than the talent of the black hole beast that allows him to take some shortcuts."
Huang Zun also studied alchemy, but alchemy is indeed a time-consuming process. Without a long period of accumulation, there will be no great achievements. He practiced for three days and rested for two days, and so far he is only a third-grade alchemist.
He is already over 500,000 years old, but the effect is not as good as Lin Zhen's who is over a thousand years old. Naturally, he feels a little unbalanced. This is also one of the reasons why he dislikes Lin Zhen.
"Practice hard and try to push this kid out of the ground class!"
Huang Zun began to practice in front of the stone tablet of Swift Wind Step.
After a while, the two people who challenged the Thirty-three Heavens Tower came back.
"What was the result? Did you get through the first level?"
One of them shook his head slightly: "No, the guardian on the first floor is too difficult to fight. A spiritualist at the early stage of the Three Flowers and the peak of Dark Gold, his spiritual impact is faster than a gun, and he can't withstand it at all!"
Another one's self-confidence was obviously hit: "This Thirty-three Heavens Tower is too abnormal, the first floor is so difficult, and there are still thirty-two floors behind it. How long will it take to practice to pass all of them? I don't think anyone can pass all of them, not even a god!"
"Just focus on your cultivation and don't aim too high."
While they were talking, Lin Zhen had already walked deep into the stone tablet.
He had already looked through all the stone tablets and decided on one that he wanted to comprehend.
This stone tablet is called Shadowless Step, which is an upgraded version of Swift Wind Step.
The person who created the Swift Wind Step left behind a total of two stone tablets. The Shadowless Step is the essence of what he must have learned in his life and it is extremely difficult.
The Swift Wind Step was achieved by utilizing the power of the wind element combined with one's own experience, while the Shadowless Step was a combination of the wind element and the power of space and time, which was extremely complex.
After the Swift Wind Step was created, some other warriors also learned the secret, so it is also available in the God-Locking Platform Holy Land, but the Shadowless Step is unique to the Falling Star Lake.
Some martial arts have a lot in common. Hei Gu learned a lot in the past, so when it comes to Lin Zhen, it can help him save a lot of steps.
"Let's take the Shadowless Step. Once you learn it well, it will be much more useful in combat than Teleport. Teleport requires time to initiate and react, and there's also the possibility of being interrupted, but the Shadowless Step doesn't have that problem. It just so happens that I'm also proficient in the power of time and space, and I have the basics of the Gale Step, so there's no problem learning this."
"But learning this directly will easily arouse suspicion. I will go to the Wind Step for a few days."
Seeing Lin Zhen coming to the stone tablet of the Swift Wind Step, Huang Zun and others puffed out their chests and even looked at Lin Zhen with demonstrative eyes.
Lin Zhen ignored them and sat at the back to meditate.
"Tsk! Wimp!"
Huang Zun said this with disdain, and seeing that Lin Zhen had no reaction, he also lost interest.
The days of cultivation in the holy land have begun.
The novelty that the warriors felt when they first arrived at the holy land quickly dissipated, and was replaced by intensive training.
The holy land has rules. A person can stay here for a maximum of a hundred years. After a hundred years, if he is not chosen as a personal disciple by the owner of the holy land, then he can only leave.
A hundred years sounds like a long time, but for warriors it is too short. Everyone is eager to learn and comprehend.
During this process, Lin Zhen behaved in a somewhat unusual way.
After two days of comprehending the Swift Wind Step, Lin Zhen left the stone tablet and went to comprehend another stone tablet called the Dripping Water Sword Technique.
People thought that he gave up because he couldn't comprehend the Swift Wind Step, but unexpectedly, after three days of comprehending this sword technique, he ran to a stone tablet of mental power control technique to comprehend it.
Those who initially took Lin Zhen seriously now looked down on him.
You have to be focused when learning martial arts. What's the point of learning a little bit of each but not mastering each one? Lin Zhen is clearly biting off more than he can chew. It won't be long before he regrets it.
For a whole month, Lin Zhen had been wandering around, and finally he even went to the territories of the Xuan class, the Huang class, and even the Huang class to meditate for a while, which attracted people's attention.
A month later, Lin Zhen returned to the ground class again and came to the stone tablet of Shadowless Step.
He did not waste this month, at least people thought that what he learned was miscellaneous, and when he used the holy land martial arts in the future, no one would say much. At most, they would just marvel at how he could learn so well in such a short time.
When he returned to the Shadowless Step stone tablet, Huang Zun and others ignored him.
At this moment, in their hearts, Lin Zhen is no longer on the same level as them. After a year, Lin Zhen will definitely fall into the Xuan class, so there is no need to worry about him anymore.
And Lin Zhen finally began his first formal training in the holy land.
