On the Jiu Zhou Continent, the path of martial arts cultivation consists of four levels:
Spiritual Martial, Elemental Martial, Mystic Martial, and Heavenly Martial. Each level is divided into nine stages.
Chu Feng joined the Qinglong Sect five years ago and began his martial arts training.
He reached the second stage of Spiritual Martial in just one month.
However, it took him a full five years to reach the third stage and still failed to break through.
This was because of a certain incident that occurred five years ago.
Five years ago, nine-colored divine thunder appeared in the sky of the Jiu Zhou Continent. Chu Feng was struck by the thunderbolt.
From that day on, nine thunder beasts appeared in his.
Chu Feng was able to enter the second stage of Spiritual Martial in a short period of time, thanks to the divine thunderbolt.
But the divine thunderbolt was both a blessing and a curse.
After reaching the second stage of Spiritual Martial, the divine thunderbolt began to devour the in Chu Feng's body.
Unable to gather the, he was unable to break through.
This was the reason why Chu Feng was still unable to enter the third stage of Spiritual Martial.
However, Chu Feng discovered that as long as he fed these nine thunder beasts, his cultivation could break through.
After five years of accumulation, Chu Feng was just one step away from breaking through.
Whirr -
Chu Feng suddenly opened his eyes, and there were lightning light in his eyes, a kind of inexpressible joy hanging on his face.
"Success! It took me five years, but I finally succeeded, Chu Feng." Chu Feng was ecstatic.
Although as he had expected, as long as the nine thunder beasts were fed, he could break through.
But when this day finally came, Chu Feng still couldn't control his emotions.
Because this day had been delayed for five years.
"This feeling is so strong. The continuous is rushing within my body, as if it wants to burst out of my body."
Carefully observing his body, Chu Feng became even more excited. He couldn't imagine that the divine thunderbolt would directly condense into a and reside in his, and the it emitted was extremely rich, far beyond imagination.
He knew that even if he had been training non-stop for five years without rest, he couldn't have condensed such powerful.
And this was precisely because of the divine thunderbolt.
Buzz -
But at this moment, Chu Feng's body suddenly stiffened, and his expression changed completely.
The divine thunderbolt was changing, his power instantly increased several times, and he once again broke through and entered the fourth stage of Spiritual Martial.
"Is it the end of hardship and the beginning of happiness?"
Chu Feng clenched his fists, feeling the explosive power within his body. He felt that all the hardships he had endured in the past five years were worth it.
"Father, from today on, I am no longer a burden to you. I will become your pride."
Chu Feng was extremely excited, and he was full of anticipation for the future.
He was not a member of the Chu family, but he was the adopted son of Chu Yuan, the fifth son of the Chu family.
The Chu family was xenophobic, and most of the family members did not recognize Chu Feng. Chu Feng suffered bullying from childhood to adulthood, and only Chu Yue would help him from time to time.
If it weren't for his adoptive father's strenuous efforts to protect him, Chu Feng would have been expelled from the family long ago.
But when Chu Feng joined the Qinglong Sect, he still couldn't enter the inner door for a long time, and even his adoptive father Chu Yuan couldn't hold his head high in the Chu family.
But Chu Feng knew that all of this would soon come to an end.
In this world where martial arts reign supreme, strength is everything.
As long as he can become stronger, no one will dare to look down on him. ...
The Qinglong Sect admits new disciples only once a year, and each session lasts for ten days.
After ten days, the annual Inner Gate examination will also commence. And this time, Chu Feng, who had been silent for five years, was finally able to participate.
The examination site is a vast underground palace. Inside the main hall of the palace, there is a sea of people, with over ten thousand people present.
Most of these people are at the level of Inner Gate Third Rank, because everyone knows that the Inner Gate examination requires at least Inner Gate Third Rank to pass.
However, there were some Inner Gate Second Rank disciples who wanted to take advantage of the situation. Such people occurred every year, but most of them ended up failing.
It is worth noting that there were also a few Inner Gate Fourth Rank disciples. They were not slow learners and were actually geniuses.
They deliberately chose to participate in the Inner Gate examination when they reached Inner Gate Fourth Rank. The reason for this was to receive rewards.
Inner Gate Third Rank already allows one to practice martial arts.
Martial arts is a powerful means of attack, which not only allows one to fully exert one's strength but also enables one to obtain power beyond the limits of the human body.
For this reason, martial arts is very precious. Even noble families do not have them. That is why all the noble families also send their descendants to the sect for cultivation.
Because each sect has a large number of martial arts within it, and in the Qinglong Sect, as long as one becomes an Inner Gate disciple, one can practice martial arts.
However, martial arts also have grades, ranging from weak to strong, divided into nine levels.
Among the Inner Gate, the best that can be practiced is only the third level martial arts.
But in the annual Inner Gate examination, the first person to pass the examination can obtain a fourth-level martial arts book.
So some people, rather than practicing in the Outer Gate, refused to enter the Inner Gate, just for that fourth-level martial arts book.
"Look, isn't that Yang Tianyu?"
"It's really him. At the age of thirteen, he has already reached Inner Gate Fourth Rank. It seems that the first place in this examination will undoubtedly be him."
Among the sea of people, a young boy with a tender appearance caught people's attention.
There were tens of thousands of Outer Gate disciples, most of whom were unknown figures, but some were the focus of attention. These people were mostly geniuses, and Yang Tianyu was one of them.
"That might not be the case. Even if Yang Tianyu has the best talent, he is still a child and it is difficult for him to win the first place."
"The Qinglong Sect is full of talents. Sometimes a genius may not be able to defeat a mediocre person. For example, that Shen Yuxuan."
An Outer Gate disciple pointed his finger at a cold-looking young man.
This person was named Shen Yuxuan. He had been in the Qinglong Sect for six years and was originally an unknown figure.
But just a few months ago, he defeated an Inner Gate disciple at the Inner Gate Fourth Rank level. Since then, he has become a focus figure in the Outer Gate.
Yang Tianyu and Shen Yuxuan have attracted much attention and become the focus of discussion.
But surprisingly, someone also noticed Chu Feng.
"Look, that guy, why is he so smug?"
"It's as if the fourth-level martial arts are definitely for him, he thinks he is Yang Tianyu or Shen Yuxuan?"
"Don't listen to him. There are too many of these. But they are all self-righteous waste."
A few people looked at Chu Feng with disdainful eyes.
Regarding this discussion, Chu Feng smiled slightly and was not angry.
Because Chu Feng felt that those people actually said something right. The fourth-level martial arts were indeed not for him.
This was not a delusion, but it was about to become a fact.
"Be quiet."
Suddenly, a loud voice rang out.
The noisy palace immediately fell silent.
On the high platform of the main hall, several figures appeared.
Most of these people were elderly men, who were senior members of the outer sect. However, the one at the head was extremely young and even a beautiful woman.
The woman was wearing a tight red dress, which highlighted her alluring curves. Especially, the straight and snow-white legs beneath the skirt were truly perfect.
Not only was her figure attractive, but her face was also extremely charming. Her almond-shaped eyes, red lips, and oval face were exactly a standard fox face.
And she was, the famous beautiful senior of the Blue Dragon Sect, Su Ruo.
This Su Ruo was a top figure. She was admitted to the Blue Dragon Sect at the age of ten, entered the inner sect at the age of twelve, and became a core disciple at the age of fifteen.
But just when everyone was optimistic about her and thought she had a good chance of becoming the first disciple of the Blue Dragon Sect, she suddenly became a senior.
No one knew the details of this change. It was still a mystery and was talked about by people with great interest.
"Wow, it's actually the famous senior Su Ruo. She's not a senior of the inner sect, then how did she come to the outer sect?"
When Su Ruo appeared, all the male disciples opened their mouths wide. The outer sect disciples were all younger in age, and for them at this age, a mature woman like Su Ruo was the most attractive.
Su Ruo didn't have the airs of a senior at all. Instead, she smiled charmingly at everyone and gently said:
"The assessment rules are very simple. Go through the gate behind me, then exit through another gate, and you pass the assessment."
"The only difference is that the first person to pass the assessment can get a fourth-level martial skill. This is something that even the inner sect disciples can't reach."
"However, it's worth mentioning that this year's first place will also receive another special prize."
"In a sense, this prize is even more precious than the previous two~" At this point, Su Ruo deliberately prolonged her tone, and that enticing aura filled the entire main hall.
