Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Martial Exam Begins

Translator: 549690339

Tianwu Calendar 9918, June 1st.

Early morning.

The Martial Exam begins today.

Jiang Ming finished his breakfast and walked on the street. The sight of the high-rise buildings was quite familiar.

Because today is special, most private cars have been prohibited from the roads except for public transportation, so as not to affect the candidates.

The nationwide Martial Exam is not something to be taken lightly.

“The results for the Province Top Scorer will be out today. I hope there are no surprises, or else…”

Jiang Ming shook his head.

As his gaze focused, the system screen appeared again.

In recent days, Jiang Ming has been buying a large amount of medicinal meals to improve his Blood Qi for body refinement and has been absorbing and digesting numerous divine basic techniques.

With the limit of his third-transition physique, he quickly entered the fourth-transition realm in a short time.

Under the guidance of numerous soul refinement techniques, he initially deduced a divine technique.

Based on the Laurel Picture, Golden Crow Contemplation Skill, and the discovery that many divine techniques are based on Taiyin and Sun, he initially deduced the Yin-Yang Soul Refining Skill after making breakthroughs in the path of Yin and Yang.

After a few simple rounds of cultivation, his progress skyrocketed, and he advanced directly into the fourth tier without any bottleneck.

“Awakening psychic powers, as long as you meditate, you can continuously strengthen your mental power. This is determined by talent, and the early stage promotion is relatively simple.”

“However, refining souls is more challenging as it requires creating something from nothing!”

Yet, for Jiang Ming, there seems to be no such issue.

The Talent of Soul Dominator allows him not only to control objects with psychic powers but also to rapidly improve his Divine Cultivation level.

Eight Stages of Divine Cultivation Level: Calming Spirit, Condensing Divinity, Illusory Image, Manifestation, Dharma Phase, Domain, Soul Core, Essence Core.

Calming Spirit is balancing the mind and soul, having clarity of heart without distractions, and cultivating spiritual power in the midst of tranquility.

Condensing Divinity is the coalescing of souls, creating something from nothing, and when the soul power gathers, it further condenses into an image of the self. As it cannot be displayed externally, it is known as the Illusory Image realm.

When soul power manifests and converges into solid matter for physical attacks, it is called Manifestation.

The fourth-tier of Divine Cultivators – the realm of Manifestation.

As for Dharma Phases?

Often, Divine Cultivation is practiced through contemplation. When the contemplated object possesses a spirit nature, it can detach from the body, manifesting inconceivable abilities.

And so on.

“Divine Cultivation is getting weirder and weirder.”

“This world is becoming stranger and stranger!”

Jiang Ming felt an awkward sensation.

However, one thing was certain: his combat power had drastically increased.

But his 1.8 billion fortune was quickly running out.

Someone appeared in front of him, blocking his path.

“Zhiyan!” Jiang Ming looked at her, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

At this moment, Miss Qin Zhiyan had shed some of her youthful naivete, appearing more mature and radiant, even more beautiful and charming, with a more restrained and powerful aura, as well as traces of an artistic mood. “Congratulations!” Jiang Ming said with a smile.

“Thank you!” Qin Zhiyan tossed her hair aside, and her sweet and delicate face became even more exquisite. Looking at Jiang Ming sincerely, she said, “If it weren't for you, I would have most likely died in there.”

“What about the others?” Jiang Ming pointed towards the front.

“Good!”

The two of them chatted while walking.

“After coming back, I wanted to go find you directly, but I needed to adapt to the new power, so I didn't go and waited until now.” Qin Zhiyan briefly explained and then talked about her experiences.

After entering the world of secret realm, she had been cultivating the Nine Yin Divine Art and Nine Yang True Scripture that Jiang Ming had taught her, as well as the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One and a set of Gentle Rain Sword Technique.

She also secretly amassed a lot of wealth for quick advancement.

“It's relatively easy to achieve the condition to leave early, but the achievement is extremely difficult. Becoming the Empress, the Martial Arts Supreme, contending for the strongest martial art in the world, and obtaining two weapons that are said to make one the Martial Arts Supreme, they are all too difficult.” Qin Zhiyan sighed.

Jiang Ming's expression changed slightly.

Two weapons that could make one the Martial Arts Supreme?

Sword of Heaven's edge? Dragon-Slaying Saber?

“One is a Dragon-Slaying Sword, and the other is a Dragon-Slaying Saber. Compared to them, I still have hope.” Qin Zhiyan continued, “I wasn't content to leave empty-handed, so 1 started planning, targeting only one sword and one saber. After learning that these two weapons were extremely sharp but didn't have special abilities, 1 suspected that there must be some hidden secret inside and that 1 had a better chance of obtaining them.”

“I secretly spread the news that a great demon was coming to the world and that it could unlock the ultimate secret of the sword and the saber.”

“By the third year, powerful individuals felt the presence of the great demon in the Imperial City, and they flocked there. As expected, the owners of the sword and saber appeared.”

“Fortunately, I have good natural aptitude and the unparalleled cultivation skills you taught me, so I progressed quickly. In two years, my cultivation level has greatly improved, and the combination of Gentle Rain Sword Technique and Nine Yin Divine Art gave me ambition in comprehending realms.”

Qin Zhiyan laughed, like a cunning little fox, and blinked at Jiang Ming, “Guess how 1 achieved it?”

“By sweeping across the world as an invincible hand?” Jiang Ming guessed.

“If I had that ability, I wouldn't need to plan!” Qin Zhiyan still couldn't hide her smile, “It's quite simple. Many powerful individuals gathered in the Imperial City, fighting and killing each other, and the sword and saber even changed hands several times. But I just watched from the shadows and continued to accumulate my strength.”

“With so many powerful individuals, they naturally wouldn't think that I, a little girl, was the 'great demon' from the Outer Realm.”

“Seeing that there were only two months left before the end of the third year, I comprehended the Rain Intent and my strength soared!”

“In a once-in-lifetime opportunity, I made a strong move and caught them off guard, snatching the sword and saber in my hands.”

“Although it was difficult for me to keep them, getting them in my hands was what counted.”

“The moment 1 got them, 1 achieved my goal.”

“1 didn't know if the achievement would disappear after they were taken away, so 1 returned immediately, just in case!”

“Haha, Jiang Ming, I'm smart, and I'm amazing, right?”

Qin Zhiyan shook her head smugly.

Jiang Ming raised his thumb.

It's more than just being smart; this also shows that she is bold and meticulous, ruthless, and good at seizing opportunities. Otherwise, it would be difficult, very difficult, to get both the sword and the saber at the same time.

“Smart, amazing. In today's AAartial Arts College Entrance Exam, you will surely soar to fame in the Federation.” Jiang Ming said, “Before the exam, being at the peak of the Martial Arts Fourth Layer is rare among all schools. No, 1 should say, very few.”

For those who cultivate step by step, it's almost impossible to reach the Third layer of martial arts by the third year of high school, let alone comprehend a realm.

As for other students who have also entered the secret realm?

Those who achieve something are a minority among the minority, extremely rare.

“Brother Jiang, if you ever need my help, just say the word!” Qin Zhiyan didn't make many promises, but her firm tone made Jiang Ming suspect that even if he asked her to go to a hotel now, she might not refuse.

In the classroom.

Most of the students have arrived.

“How about this?” Wang Fatty stretched out his hand, a faint ball of Qi condensed in his palm. He raised his eyebrows, shook his head, and swayed.

“Amazing, you really did it!” Jiang Ming wasn't too surprised.

This guy has exceptional talent; it's just that he's too lazy. Last time, he was stimulated into cultivating hard, and it wasn't in vain.

“That's right, just look at who I am. This time, I'm going to try and see if I can get into a prestigious school!” Wang Fatty was full of fighting spirit.

In a short while, Head Teacher Mr. Chen walked in.

There was also another teacher, Mr. Yang, behind him.

“After years of hard cultivation, the moment of fruition has arrived. I wish you all can achieve great results in advance. For the students participating in the Martial Exam, those who have reached Muscle and Bone Resonance or above, follow me. Remember, there will be a validation later. If you haven't reached that level, don't follow, so as not to miss the other examination!” After saying a few simple words, AAr. Chen led the way out.

The Martial Exam has two parts.

Those who have reached Muscle and Bone Resonance or above go to the Virtual Combat Network.

Those below Muscle and Bone Resonance have their strength directly assessed.

Simple and crude!
