Chapter 545 Choice
The offspring born from a transcendental female have transcendental flesh and blood, and their souls are nourished by transcendental Dharma energy. Although it is constantly diluted during the postnatal growth process, it is still powerful and it is easier for them to cultivate an immortal body than other martial artists.
Li Weiyi watched the fierce battle on the stage, secretly comparing the two of them with Sheng Wulian and Si Wuyan in his heart.
The battle platform is about ten feet high and is made of huge stones. Dense array patterns emerge on it, and rays of light rise.
“Boom!”
Yuan Zhen's armor was thick, and the magical energy under his feet was as vast as the sea. He looked only about twenty years old, and his palms were used in a wide range of movements.
With the blessing of the transcendental scriptures in his bones, tendons and skin, his fighting power was no less than that of the two men of life and death who controlled the "Map of the North Sea of Life" and the "Scripture of the South Mountain of Death". He was full of energy and spirit. Although he was at a disadvantage, he was able to withstand the attack of Chang Yu Sword and did not collapse.
Li Weiyi judged that even if his physical body had not reached 99% of the immortal body, it was not far off.
"They are both at the ninth level of cultivation, but their combat power is vastly different. These two are not much different from the giants of the Immortal Realm!"
"I think even a demon child would lose more than win if they met them."
Cao Shisan and Chen Huang were once among Lingxiao City's most powerful Dao Seed Realm cultivators. After absorbing the energy of the six-clawed immortal dragon and immortal Dao scriptures in the East China Sea, they were full of vigor and ambition. They planned to hone their skills at Dongxu Camp, striving for the Immortal Realm. Then, as immortal realm giants, they would return to Lingxiao Realm and the East China Sea to usher in their own era of prosperity.
But when he arrived at Dongxu Camp, he suffered a series of setbacks and did not even make it into the top 100 in the assessment of new recruits.
If it weren't for the trip to the East China Sea, I would probably have fallen to 200th place, or even below 300th place.
Now, they have given up the idea of returning to Lingxiao Living Environment and only want to be in the top 100 in the quarterly exam.
On the battlefield.
Yuan Zhen knew that his strength was not as strong as Chang Yu Sword, so he quickly changed his tactics, summoned three magical weapons, and used Taoist magic. He no longer engaged in a head-on confrontation, but looked for the opponent's flaws in defense.
"Is this the limit of your skills? Then let's end the battle."
Chang Yujian laughed loudly, and released thousands of sword energies from the ancestral field. The sword shadows then enveloped the entire battlefield, like a peerless sword immortal.
If it weren't for the formation blocking him, the entire martial arts field would be within his attack range.
After resisting the eight full-strength sword attacks from Chang Yujian, Yuan Zhen flew backwards with a loud bang of metal collision, fell off the battlefield, and slid back continuously.
Yuan Zhen steadied his body, his face pale. He looked down at the dented armor on his chest and swallowed back the blood in his throat.
Just now he was knocked away by a horizontal blow from Changyu Sword.
If it weren't for this armor, if the sword had chopped instead of struck, the body would have been cut in two.
"I've heard for a long time that martial artists who cultivate an immortal body will become 10% to 20% stronger than those at the same level in the Immortality Realm. I think your improvement is more than 10% to 20%!"
Yuan Zhen stared at the heroic figure on the platform with unyielding eyes, feeling a strong sense of frustration in his heart.
Over the past few decades, he has been invincible among his peers and is known as the "Young Master" by everyone. Although he is in the Du'e Realm, he simply disdains to become a disciple at the Du'e Temple and has never taken the so-called young emperor seriously. He set his ambition to become a martial arts emperor at the age of ten.
The frustration quickly burned away and turned into a strong fighting spirit.
Chang Yujian gracefully put away the sword and returned to Zutian, saying with a smile: "Because we are now both in the Dao Seed Realm! Once you break through to the Immortal Realm, with your physical strength, you may be able to cultivate an Immortal Body within a few days, and then there will be no difference between us. The idea of a 10% or 20% gap is very subtle. I will wait for you in the Immortal Realm, and then we can slowly explore it."
In Chang Yujian's opinion, after this battle, Yuan Zhen will definitely fight to the death with the Changsheng Body, but she will immediately break through and leave the opponent far behind in realm.
Saying those words just now was a completely different psychological battle.
The Changyu Sword was so powerful and graceful, and carried the spirit of great victory, that it naturally attracted the admiration, adoration, jealousy, and respect of countless martial artists around the battlefield.
Nearly a hundred sentries of the Jade Sword Guard cheered loudly.
They were proud of the victory of the brave guards and their sense of belonging was even stronger.
"After this battle, Chang Yujian has secured first place in all quarterly and annual exams during the three-year recruit period. He will most likely get all the merit points and resource rewards, and his advantage will become greater and greater." A middle-level sentry of the Ninth Heaven exclaimed.
Lu Qing, Tong Yanxue, Yu Zheng and others who were in the top ten of the recruit assessment did not think so.
The so-called 10% to 20% advantage was merely a rough estimate made by some ancient sects based on the performance of disciples who had cultivated immortal bodies throughout the ages. It wasn't insurmountable or invincible.
They will not fight to the death for the immortal body, but will break through the realm of immortality as quickly as possible and go to the netherworld of the dead to find the opportunity to surpass the Changyu Sword.
The netherworld of the dead has submerged too many ancestral sites, cities, sects, and ancient countries. Many martial artists come here for this purpose and have learned some secret information from some old sentinel spirits.
Under the gaze of countless eyes, Chang Yujian turned around and looked at Li Weiyi below the battle stage: "Brother Weiyi, how do you think I compare to Inamiya's true teachings of life and death now?"
Everyone looked confused at first, not understanding why Chang Yujian suddenly asked such a question to a martial artist.
After a moment, someone reacted and exclaimed, "Could he be Li Weiyi, number one on the Merit List? It's said that he defeated Inamiya Shinden's Sheng Wulian in the East China Sea."
"Defeat Inamiya Shinchu? Why are there so many incredible recruits in our class?"
"The one with 30,000 merit points?"
…
All eyes were focused on Li Weiyi, with confusion, curiosity, and surprise.
There was no way around it. The number one spot on the Merit List had caused quite a stir in the recruit camp a month earlier, sparking all sorts of speculation. Li Weiyi's identity and origins had already been discovered by some well-connected martial artists.
Defeating Sheng Wu Lian was undoubtedly a brilliant achievement, but most people were skeptical. People always liked to praise the powerful and criticize the weak, and most of the rumors they heard were distorted.
Li Weiyi commented truthfully: "I have no love in life, but I am not as good as Brother Chang."
Chang Yujian asked, "Then when can we have a sparring match? No challenge, just a private sparring match."
He knew Li Weiyi's background very well and was interested in making friends with him, or even recruiting him. The power and strength of the Chang family was far greater than that of the Jiuli tribe and the Zuoqiu clan.
In a public duel, no matter who wins or loses, they will inevitably be criticized by the spectators, which will damage the harmony.
Li Weiyi felt Chang Yujian's kindness, and also saw that Chang Yujian had an extraordinary mind, and was neither arrogant nor conceited even when he was at his most successful.
But the other martial artists present did not have this level of self-control.
Countless pairs of eager eyes fell on Li Weiyi. They were very motivated and were eager to challenge the strong. Even if they lost, they were still honing their skills.
Li Weiyi didn't want to be challenged by countless people. It would be a waste of time and would make him look too powerful.
The most important thing is that he is not short of money at the moment. Otherwise, he would definitely charge a fee, accept the challenge from everyone, and make a fortune.
"I'm a cultivator in Feng Mansion, but my future is uncertain. For the time being, I have no interest in exchanging martial arts." Li Weiyi said this with a wry smile. He then looked at everyone and said, "I really envy you for being able to strive for the Immortal Realm. No matter how strong a cultivator in the Dao Seed Realm is, he can never be a match for a cultivator in the Immortal Realm."
Hearing the words "Fengfu Zhongdao" caused a stir in the martial arts field.
Many martial artists were whispering and discussing, feeling incredible.
"Could Fengfu Zhongdao defeat Inamiya Zhenchuan? He must have used some special means. I've always said that even a third of a rumor is too much."
"To be able to let Chang Yujian say the word 'compete', his strength must be very strong."
"Just as he said, no matter how strong the Dao Seed Realm is, as long as we break through, we will be able to leave him far behind."
…
Tu Nanfeng, who had been watching the battle from a distance, strode over. His sturdy physique exuded a powerful aura, and he shouted, "What are you all staring at? Has your magic energy been fully restored? The mountain formation has been set up. The intensity of this afternoon's training will be twice that of the morning."
"In the realm of the dead, one cannot breathe in and out the magical energy of heaven and earth, and can only rely on the Nine Springs within. Everyone must learn to use every bit of magical energy wisely, and must strengthen their own Nine Springs through training."
"Li Weiyi, have you reported to the Xiaowei? Which guard did you join?"
Lu Qing, Yu Zheng, and Tong Yanxue all looked over, paying attention to this matter.
If Li Weiyi chooses the guard where they are, it will be a huge headache.
Even if he was a Fengfu cultivator and his martial arts path was cut off, the mere fact that he was number one on the "Merit List" weighed heavily on them was not an easy thing to bear.
All the sentinels are gifted, and the probability of them cultivating to the realm of immortality is quite high.
One guard has a hundred sentinels, what a huge force is this?
The Guards and Deputy Guards considered these Sentinels their own, and would not tolerate interference from others. Outside the Sentinel Spirit Army, each possessed a unique status: young masters of sects, members of the Imperial Court, and the heirs of clans. Each possessed a future of their own in their respective habitats.
The Sentinel Army is not a sect, so the free time and service time are 50-50.
How could we not take this opportunity to recruit him?
Chang Yujian extended an olive branch to Li Weiyi, stepped down from the battle stage, and quickly walked over: "Brother Weiyi, of course you will join my Jade Sword Guard."
Tu Nanfeng looked at Li Weiyi.
Li Weiyi had already made up his mind. He bowed to Tu Nanfeng and then cupped his hands towards Chang Yujian. "Thank you, Brother Chang, for your invitation. But... for the next period of time, I'm afraid I'll focus on cultivating my telekinesis and strive to achieve something on another path."
Hearing this, many martial artists who were secretly watching this side showed a look of relief, and they all understood his choice.
Chang Yujian narrowed her eyes, not quite believing that he was someone who would easily accept his fate. She didn't want to be too close to him, so she smiled and said, "With your natural talent for telekinesis, becoming a Holy Spirit Telekinesis Master is just around the corner. A Holy Spirit Telekinesis Master's combat power at the same level isn't necessarily inferior to a martial artist. The spells of the brave guard guarding the Telekinesis Master are quite powerful."
…
Li Weiyi and Tai Shi Yu left the martial arts field and walked into the mountains shrouded in clouds.
Along the stone path in the mountains, we headed towards Yanjue Mountain, where the Nianshiwei Recruitment Camp was located. The two mountains were steep cliffs, with thousand-foot waterfalls and various buildings hidden among the jungle and ancient trees.
It is said that the sentinel spirits who have reached the realm of immortality and the level of Holy Spirit Mind Masters live in these ancient palaces and caves.
