Just as Fang ping and the rest were preparing for the competition.
In Shanghai.
At the first military school.
Although the first military school was located in Shanghai, its location was extremely remote. It was on an island near Shanghai.
1st of June.
At night.
BOOM!
Thunder exploded in the air.
The originally quiet night was instantly filled with noise, and waves were surging near the island.
Outside the cultivation room of the first military school.
A middle-aged man in military uniform had a grave expression on his face. He seemed worried.
Beside him, a heroic-looking woman said,""It's fine! "Mcmau Fang ping has already manifested his mentality. He's fine!"
"He's different from Fang ping ..."
The man sighed softly."Fang Ping's Golden Bones are half-formed, and one of his Sanjiao gates is sealed. He's much stronger than Cheng Jun. He can materialize, but that doesn't mean that Cheng Jun can safely materialize as well."
"Since things have come to this, there's no point in worrying."
The woman was also very worried. Yao Chengjun was not like Fang ping. He was still only at peak rank-5.
At peak rank-5, could he hold on to the materialization of mentality?
If one's mental power was too strong, it would also cause an unbearable burden, and it was possible that it could even crush Yao Chengjun.
However, Yao Chengjun was not willing to stop. Otherwise, he could still suppress it for a while and wait until he reached rank-6.
After hearing that Fang Ping's mentality had already manifested and that the other two had entered rank-6, Yao Chengjun had not slept or rested for the past few days. He had been cultivating like crazy. He could not stay in the pressure room forever, but Yao Chengjun used it as a resting room.
As the two of them spoke, a celestial bridge Halo had already appeared in the air. Very quickly, the Halo expanded to form a bridge that led to the sky.
It stopped abruptly!
Yes, it stopped abruptly!
Originally, there should have been three Sanjiao gates suspended in the air, sitting on the bridge. However, there was nothing at the moment. The air seemed to have quieted down in an instant.
The middle-aged man became even more worried. He said in a low voice,"How does he nurture his mentality after it has been materialized?"
At least Fang ping had sealed off a door. Even if it was not a mentality door, he had at least gotten a place for his physical manifestation to stay.
Yao Chengjun, on the other hand, did not even activate his Sanjiao.
At this time, he had no place to nurture his materialization.
The woman wasn't too worried about this and replied,""It's fine. Nurturing is just an improvement. There's no place to nurture it. It's not necessarily a bad thing that you can't improve your spiritual power."
Materializing his body into the Sanjiao gate was to nurture his mentality.
Yao Chengjun did not manage to achieve the mentality-vitality fusion. He could not manifest it in advance and could not nurture it. This also meant that even if he could improve his mentality, it would be extremely slow.
It could only allow one's spiritual power to grow naturally, and that speed was extremely slow.
If the average rank-7 powerhouse's mentality growth rate was 10, Fang Ping's would only be 5, and Yao Chengjun's would only be 1.
Using vitality to nourish mentality was something that high-ranked powerhouses would do. Mentality-vitality fusion was also possible, but Fang ping and Yao Chengjun could not do it.
While the two of them were talking, Yao Chengjun began to materialize.
When the materialized object slowly appeared, the two grandmasters revealed slightly strange expressions.
"What is this?"
Although it was late at night, at their level, they could still see the materialized objects in the air, even in the dark.
He did not conjure a city like Fang ping.
They also did not conjure ordinary weapons, demonic beasts, and monster plants like ordinary people.
What appeared in the air was a map of ruins.
It didn't seem real, but gradually, countless shadows emerged from the ruins.
The faces of these shadows could not be seen, and it was impossible to tell if they were male or female.
However, one could vaguely see that two sides were fighting and killing each other!
Even if it was just a Phantom, a manifestation of Yao Chengjun, the two grandmasters could still feel the horror and power!
The earth cracked, the sky shattered, and golden blood filled the void ...
"This ..."
"What is this?"
"Ancient battlefield?"
"Is this the future that Chengjun imagined? Or ... Is it something that has already happened?"
The two grandmasters looked at each other with unspeakable horror!
The real thing was just a drawing, but even so, the two of them felt an immense pressure.
Picking the stars and moon was nothing more than this!
Soon, the picture disappeared, and in the next moment, what appeared in front of the two of them was a broken ruin.
He couldn't see anything, he couldn't tell.
There were only broken walls!
The materialized object seemed to be frozen at this moment. It was a lifeless ruin without any signs of life.
Everything that had happened before seemed like an illusion.
The two grandmasters were still in shock. What was going on?
Was this an illusion?
However, the two of them knew that it wasn't an illusion. It was really a war that happened, a war that countless powerhouses participated in. The sky fell and the earth cracked, and blood sprayed through the sky!
After an unknown period of time, he heard Yao Chengjun's greeting."Principal, teacher."
The two grandmasters were awake!
The man was Yao Chengjun's teacher.
The woman was the principal of the first Military Academy. She was a powerhouse who rarely appeared in public, even among the Grandmaster circle.
"Chengjun ..."
The middle-aged man's expression was slightly strange as he said,""The previous materialization ..."
There was also a peculiar look in the depths of Yao Chengjun's eyes. He shook his head slightly and said,"I don't know what's going on either ... But ... Maybe someone does."
"What?"
Yao Chengjun looked at mo du city, which was outside the island. Perhaps, that guy knew.
Countless powerhouses had fallen in the great battle!
The 108 generals of the heavenly court had died in battle!
His own manifestation actually had such a scene. Was it the past or the future?
Had it already happened, and the obsession from her previous life had continued until now?
Or was it because of the crisis of the human world in this life that he subconsciously thought of the tragic future?
He couldn't tell.
At this moment, his materialized object no longer had these abnormalities. There was only ruins, broken ruins, and nothing could be seen at all. It was as if it was dead.
The illusionary human figures had also completely disappeared.
However, Yao Chengjun had something on his mind and could not calm down.
In the past, he did not pay much attention to what Fang ping and Li Hansong had said, or rather, he thought that it was nonsense.
But now, he was wavering.
"The heavenly court? The heavenly Emperor?
Yao Chengjun muttered in his heart. He suppressed the frustration in his heart and said,"Vice-Chancellor, teacher, I would like to make a trip to mcmau ..."
"Mcmau? Are you looking for Fang ping?"
"Fang ping and the rest are no longer in mcmau. They've already gone to capital city to participate in the youth tournament," the middle-aged man said immediately.
Previously, people from Star Town City had come to the first military school. Unfortunately, Yao Chengjun was in closed-door training at that time and had not entered rank-6. The youth tournament was considered a failure.
"He went to the capital?"
Yao Chengjun frowned slightly. At this moment, the woman suddenly said,"Chengjun, let's go. I'll take you to the capital!"
"Vice-Chancellor ..."
Yao Chengjun looked suspicious. There was no need for him to go to the capital to ask, right? even the principal had to follow him?
The woman looked to the North and said in an awkward tone,""To fight for a place in the competition! "When your mentality corporealizes, you won't be weaker than a rank-6, you'll only be stronger! Since that's the case, we'll fight for it!
"At this point, the first military school can no longer help you. If you want to enter rank-7, you can only grind it out with time.
"But Fang ping, li Hansong, and the others are already moving forward quickly. You can't fall behind.
In the path of martial arts, one step behind would result in one step behind!
You're all heaven's favored children of this generation. If you just want to be respected among ordinary martial artists, then you don't have to fight for it.
But you're not an ordinary martial artist, so you must fight for the martial Dao!"
"But principal, the competition is about to begin. The spots should have been confirmed ..."
"What's the big deal!" "The weak will be eliminated, and the strong will survive. This is the truth!" The woman snorted. Eliminate someone weaker than you, and you'll naturally be able to enter! Many people from Star Town City and the military department are involved, so it doesn't matter if one more or one less is involved. "
The middle-aged man smiled wryly,"principal, this isn't good, is it?" Besides, they might not agree to it. "
"They have no choice but to agree!"
The woman took a deep breath, paused, and said,""Among the three divisions, only the detective Division doesn't have a quota. If it really doesn't work, I can go to the detective Division. No matter how useless Nan yunyue is, can't she even fight for a quota? If that's the case, what's the point of her being the Minister!"
As soon as he said this, the middle-aged man and Yao Chengjun looked at each other and found it difficult to speak.
Out of the three department heads, two of them were paragons, and only Nan yunyue wasn 't.
"That's why the detective Department is the weakest among the three departments. The military department is mainly in charge of combat and overseeing the catacombs.
"The Ministry of Education controls all the martial arts universities in the world. Martial arts universities are also the main force in the catacombs conquest, and there are countless grandmasters.
"As for the Department of Investigation, they're only in charge of some martial arts disputes on the surface, killing some evil sect martial artists, and arresting some martial artists who have committed crimes. Almost all of them are of the three lower ranks.
Out of the three, the detective Department was the weakest.
However, she was one of the three divisions after all. Nan yunyue was known as the number one person below the Paragon level. She had killed a large number of rank-9 powerhouses and was not a weakling. If she really flipped out, no one could suppress her except for the paragons.
This female principal of the first Military Academy wanted to look for Nan yunyue. It was not the military department or the Education Department. The reason was that Nan yunyue was her sister.
However, she was the older sister, while Nan yunyue was the younger sister.
The relationship between the two sisters wasn't too good. They were both people who wanted to be strong. However, she was only rank-8 now, while Nan yunyue had been rank-9 for many years.
The gap in their cultivation realms had also caused her to be unwilling to lower her head to Nan yunyue.
However, in order for Yao Chengjun to achieve rank-7 as soon as possible, she did not care anymore.
Yao Chengjun's mentality was corporeal, but his Sanjiao gate was not sealed, and he did not know how many years it would take for him to achieve that.
On earth, there was no way to quickly seal off the Sanjiao gate.
However, in the Forbidden Zone, many people could quickly seal the door. Some people could achieve mentality-vitality fusion in the blink of an eye. Those who entered would quickly reach the Grandmaster realm in one or two years.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the female principal was not willing to give it up.
"Vice-Chancellor, I'm only a rank-5 ..."
"Stupid!"
The female principal cursed directly and said impolitely,"They didn't set a rule that you must be rank-6 ... Besides, you say you're rank-5, but I insist that you're rank-6. If I say you're rank-7, how can they prove that you're rank-5? Can mentality be materialized for rank-5?"
When a woman was unreasonable, there was no way to reason with her.
This was especially true for a powerhouse like the female principal. Moreover, the female principal had also grasped one point-what rank was the materialization of mentality?
Now, it was fine to say that Yao Chengjun was rank-5, but it was also fine to say that he was half a rank-7.
Since the principal had already said so, Yao Chengjun did not say anything else.
In reality, he was also a little impatient. He wanted to find Fang ping and ask him what was going on.
Was that scene real or fake?
Why did it disappear?
Would it appear again in the future?
Since the materialized object had shown such a scene, it should still be around. However, Yao Chengjun realized that he was no longer able to conjure this scene. He did not know if it was because his mental power was not strong enough.
……
2nd of June.
The capital.
At the martial arts Association.
The others were either adjusting or recuperating. Fang ping, on the other hand, did not go into closed-door cultivation. He had had enough closed-door cultivation for the past few days and was not in the mood to do this.
In a big office in the martial arts Association.
Fang ping was like a leader, patrolling left and right. The others were silent, each of them lowering their heads and working seriously.
Fang ping looked at it for a while and said again,"it's just a name. Isn't it just a matter of moving a finger?" You guys can't do it, let me do it myself. "
"General wild blade ..."
A Junior Leader had just said this when he saw Fang ping glaring at him. He immediately showed a helpless expression and changed his words."General Fang, the martial arts Association is only responsible for the normal update and operation of the list. We can't change the title."
"Do you think I'll believe you?"
Fang Ping's face was full of disbelief. The other party said helplessly again, "It's true. Why don't you go and ask the two guild leaders? we have no right to change it."
"I'm not going!"
Fang ping shook his head. He was not a match for the two grandmasters. It would be a waste of time even if he went. Bullying the weak and fearing the strong was the right way to go.
As they were talking, li Hansong hurried over and quickly said,"Old Yao's here. Fang ping, go and take a look!"
"Old Yao, you're here?"
Fang ping was a little surprised. He quickly said to the small leader,"The next time I update the ranking list, you must change my name. Otherwise, I'll come to the martial arts Association sooner or later!"
After saying this, Fang ping left in a hurry.
As soon as he left, everyone in the office heaved a sigh of relief. Someone couldn't help but laugh."I think the name 'killing blade' suits general Fang quite well. Everything else aside, just the bloody blade he used yesterday was enough."
"He wants to become the wild blade King, blade King, blade Emperor ... And it's not because of the wild blade." "But calling a rank-6 a King is too much," someone said with a bitter smile. It's the first time I've seen someone take us seriously because of our titles.
"After so many years, the wild blade general is probably the first expert to directly attack our office and force us to change our titles.
He's almost holding a knife to our necks ..."
Before he could finish, the small leader from earlier suddenly cursed in a low voice,""Who said that I'm short of a knife to my neck? This B * stard ... Ahem, general Fang's mental saber was hovering around my head. You know nothing!"
Although he had yet to release his mentality, he was still a peak rank-5 martial artist.
He had felt it when Fang ping condensed his mentality into a saber to scare him.
As soon as he said this ... Someone couldn't help but laugh."How about ... We change his name to explosion King? "Explosive temper, explosive way of doing things. I heard that Nanjiang catacombs and Tiannan catacombs also blew up their way here."
"Come on, if you're not afraid that he'll blow you up, you can change." The junior Leader didn't know whether to laugh or cry."But then again, when you really reach the Grandmaster realm, you do need to change it. It's best if it's a single title!"
As soon as he said this, many people raised their eyebrows slightly.
A single title was exclusive to the top powerhouses, especially those who were at least likely to be at level nine.
For example, many rank-9 powerhouses only had a single title. It was the same for some rank-8 powerhouses, such as Wu kuishan's Luan ni Snake King.
Even if Tang Feng had entered rank-7, he was still a wild lion.
However, when he reached rank-8, he might become The Lion King.
Not to mention those old fogeys, even Zhang Tao and Li Zhen only had one title. It could be seen that only one title expert was highly valued and recognized.
But thinking about it, it seemed normal.
How old was Fang ping? was it not normal for him to have hopes of achieving rank-9?
No one mentioned this again. Even if they changed it, it wasn't up to them.
……
As the martial arts Association members were discussing, Fang ping had already arrived at the central square from yesterday.
At that moment, the atmosphere in the central square was not very good.
Yao Chengjun was standing behind a middle-aged woman. The woman had her hands behind her back and her sword-like eyebrows were raised!
"Vice commander, is the first military school a stepmom? We're under the jurisdiction of both the military department and the Education Ministry. Logically, we're more qualified to participate in this competition. Why can't Yao Chengjun?
The Department of Investigation has also signed a note, forcing Nan yunyue to come and explain herself?"
"Principal Nan, the competition is tomorrow. You want us to change people at this time. Tell me, what do you want me to do?" The eight people from the central government and the military department are the candidates who have been selected after countless screening ..."
On the side, star suppression city also sent a level nine expert this time. Su Haoran smiled lightly,"Principal Nan, Star Town City has given up a lot of places this time, and there are only nine places left. We gave Yao Chengjun a place before, but it was replaced by the military department.
So, if you want to fight, it has nothing to do with my city. "
The female principal took a look at su Haoran. After thinking for a while, she decided to give up on finding trouble with Star Town City.
This year, Star Town had indeed given up most of the spots. They didn't even get half of the spots. If they were to eliminate their people now ... Who would they eliminate?
Eliminate su Zisu?
Then su Haoran would definitely not agree!
Eliminate the two Yang family members?
The top powers in Star Town City had decided to compensate these two people. The compensation was to calm down the death of the Yang family's powerhouses, so they couldn't fight over them.
Since that was the case, he could only look for the military.
At that moment, li Yiming, who was in the crowd, said loudly,""Isn't that simple? I don't think Wang Jinyang and Li Hansong will do much over at the martial arts universities. They're only middle-stage rank-6. Why can't we just let Yao Chengjun fight them once? why must we go to the military department?"
As for Fang ping, li Yiming did not mention him.
Li Yiming only spoke based on strength. Fang ping was very violent. If they really fought, he might not be a match for him.
However, he still didn't think much of the other two.
Yao Chengjun, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said,"I challenge you! If you're brave enough, then come out and fight. If you're not strong enough, I won't force you to join. I don't have the face to do so. "
"You ... Want to challenge me?"
"Hahaha ..."
Li Yiming laughed so hard that he was about to lose his mind. What kind of joke was this? was this guy crazy?
He wanted to challenge him?
He, a rank-5 martial artist, was challenging him, a peak rank-6. Moreover, he was a top powerhouse among peak rank-6!
"Do you dare to?"
"What a joke!"
Li Yiming was extremely arrogant and confident. He immediately said,""Fine, if you insist on snatching the military's quota, then you're going Against Me! You're the one who's so arrogant that you want to challenge me. I have no reason to refuse!"
As he spoke, li Yiming laughed and said,"one sword!" I'll defeat you with one sword!"
"So, you agree?" Yao Chengjun asked without changing his expression.
"Of course!"
"Swish!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Chengjun's spear pierced through the air!
The spear pierced through the air and went straight for li Yiming's chest.
Li Yiming snorted coldly. He did not move and said loudly,""Come, I'll let you do it. If you die, I'll consider you amazing!"
"BOOM!"
There was a loud explosion, but li Yiming did not move. His legs were deep in the ground, and a muffled sound came from his chest. However, he did not show any signs of injury. He laughed and said,""We're on the same side, so I'll let you have a chance. I'll stand still and let you hit me, you might not even ..."
He was wearing the apex-level inner armor today, mainly to protect his internal organs, and even Yao Chengjun could penetrate his defense?
Just as li Yiming was about to boast, his expression suddenly changed and he quickly cursed,""F * ck, you're all forcing me? You're forcing me to put on that 10-pound forbidden chain?"
As soon as he said that, Fang ping, who was watching the battle, could not help but laugh."A nouveau riche is indeed a nouveau riche. This guy is interesting!"
The so-called no-break chain was a chain made of a material that isolated spiritual power. 10 catties ... The chain was probably not thin.
Li Yiming did not wear it, probably because he thought it was too ugly. He made it look like a big gold chain.
As he spoke, Fang ping glanced at Yao Chengjun. Old Yao's mental power had manifested. No wonder he dared to challenge him.
At this moment, Yao Chengjun did not conjure anything. However, his long spear seemed to have a protective barrier.
At that moment, the long spear struck li Yiming's body. It was no longer attacking his physical body, but cutting his spirit.
Li Yiming's face was filled with pain, but he was also extremely furious.
Li Yiming was really angry as he cursed.
Just as Yao Chengjun was still attacking, li Yiming shouted,""Eternal night sword!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the world changed colors!
It was still daytime a moment ago, but the next moment, it was as if night had arrived!
In the air, a sword shadow as fast as lightning struck Yao Chengjun's head.
Yao Chengjun's expression also changed drastically. With a muffled cry, his long spear was like a dragon, emitting the roar of a ferocious beast. A Spear's light materialized by spiritual power instantly shot out!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The void trembled ...
At this time, li deyong, who had not spoken before, suddenly made a move. A big hand covered the place where the two people were fighting, and everything was annihilated in an instant.
Yao Chengjun and Li Yiming's faces turned pale and they took a few steps back.
Li deyong did not care about this. He furrowed his brows slightly and thought about it. He looked at the four upper-stage rank-6 military department martial artists at the side and sighed softly."Hu Ming ... You should quit."
Among the four people, a short military martial artist was silent for a moment and quickly said,""Yes!"
This time, li Yiming did not say anything. He only cursed in a low voice,""F * ck, what the hell is going on? anyone can conjure their spiritual power as long as they are human. Didn't they say that there are no special cultivation methods for spiritual power?"
"I'm going to wear the chain!"He added.
Li Yiming felt that he could not be careless.
Previously, he felt that even if a martial artist who had attained mentality-vitality fusion tried to harm him with their mentality, it would be almost impossible.
His vitality force was enough to dispel mentality attacks. If someone with mentality-vitality fusion wanted to attack him with mentality, they would have to be careful of becoming an idiot.
But now, he was able to conjure up spiritual energy as a human!
Fang ping was the first. Alright, he took it as an accident.
It was only the second day, and yet another one had arrived, and it was even a rank-5 materialization. There was no way to reason with him.
While li Yiming was still rambling on, Yao Chengjun bowed slightly to li deyong and smiled apologetically at the military martial artist who had withdrawn. Then, he quickly walked to Fang ping and looked at him with a complicated gaze, not saying a word.
Fang Ping's face was blank. 'What are you doing?
This guy ... Why was he looking at him with such a complicated expression? what did he mean?
Resentment?
Love?
Admiration?
Forget it, Fang ping really could not make out the meaning.
Just as he was about to give up, Yao Chengjun seemed to be a little bitter. His tone was extremely complicated as he softly said,"Is it true, South conquering general?"
At this moment, ten thousand crows flew across Fang Ping's mind!
What the hell?
Wang Jinyang was struck by lightning!
'F * ck, am I hearing things?
Yao Chengjun came to ask this question out of the blue. His mouth was asking if it was true, but his expression was obviously saying ... The South conquering general is here to report!
At the side, li Hansong was grinning from ear to ear. His old brother had returned!
