We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Chapter 212 Explosion!

"Oh dear, we've really lost a lot of money this time."

The short-haired high school boy, the chubby boy, and the group of teenagers around them, recalling the iconic gesture from earlier, couldn't help but clutch their heads, their faces filled with extreme regret.

"Shen Bailian?"

"It must be him, no doubt about it!" A middle-aged man with a gleaming bald head rummaged through long-forgotten memories and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"So, this is the boy from Bozhou No. 3 Middle School who won the Bozhou City Martial Arts Competition last year. No wonder he can attract the attention of these high school students."

Shen Bailian, this name, combined with that iconic gesture, is already deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people in Bozhou City.

As for his appearance?

As a martial artist's martial arts level improves, their body enters a second developmental stage, and the changes in their appearance are particularly significant for martial artists whose strength increases rapidly.

Only parents or close friends who live with you day and night can barely tell the difference.

“If that’s the case, then this doesn’t make any sense at all.” A woman from Qingcheng suddenly had a crucial question pop into her mind.

"Something's not right," the bald middle-aged man asked, puzzled.

"Since he took the martial arts college entrance exam early, shouldn't he still be in his first semester of university? How could he accept a Level 2 conscription order?"

"Could it be that he has become a Transcendent Realm expert in less than a few months?"

"How is that possible? Generally speaking, even the most outstanding martial arts prodigies need more than half a year to break through to the Transcendent Realm." Some people rationally maintained a skeptical attitude towards this.

This is simply too far beyond imagination. The educational resources in the Great Xia Dynasty are relatively unbalanced, making it very difficult for martial arts prodigies to emerge.

In recent years, a martial arts prodigy with the greatest potential in recent decades has emerged from Bozhou No. 1 Middle School and has been named a martial arts prodigy.

Even that martial arts prodigy only broke through to the Transcendent Realm near the end of his freshman year.

And now, a boy who took the martial arts college entrance exam early and lost a year of training time has so easily broken through to the second level.
"How could it be impossible!" The high school boy with the buzz cut, seeing the skeptical looks on the faces of the group of middle-aged men and women—a sign of distrust towards his idol—immediately retorted loudly:

"Ignorance is not a mistake, but making unfounded comments is wrong. Senior Brother Shen has not only broken through to the second level, but he is also not an ordinary Transcendent Realm expert!"

"In the Golden Cup League, Senior Brother Shen fought against a third-year student from a top-tier martial arts university, a battle that netizens called the pinnacle of the Golden Cup League."

"And his opponent's martial arts realm was at the late stage of the Transcendent Realm!"

After saying that, the short-haired high school boy crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked at the people in the cabin with a proud expression, as if he were very proud of himself.

All of a sudden.

The cabin returned to silence; you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was struggling to accept the news.

They didn't think the short-haired high school boy was fooling them, because the truth of such a thing was too easy to verify.

Although no videos, screen recordings, or photos of Shen Bailian can be found online, clues can be gleaned from netizens' comments.

"Hey!"

"Hey!" The chubby boy poked the short-haired high school boy's kidney with his chubby middle finger.

"What are you doing?"

"You're too cunning, aren't you? You're already calling on Senior Brother Shen?" The chubby boy looked at the righteous-minded high school boy with a buzz cut above him with suspicion: "You, buddy, you're not planning to become a rogue ninja too, are you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other boys and girls looked at the short-haired high school boy with suspicion.

There's nothing else to it but the sheer number of rogue ninjas these days.

When Shen Bailian won the Bozhou City Martial Arts Tournament, it sparked a wave of defections among the ninjas. Many outstanding students from Bozhou No. 1 Middle School, Bozhou No. 2 Middle School, and so on, went to Bozhou No. 3 Middle School.

However, these factors alone are not enough to shake the foundation of Bozhou No. 1 Middle School, because these old schools have a very deep heritage.

Cultivation resources, cultivation sites, and cultivation environment are all readily available.

However, ever since Kong Chaowu watched the Golden Cup League, he has started to pour money into Bozhou No. 3 Middle School, as well as provide it with educational resources and preferential policies.

That's a top-tier martial arts prodigy who has never appeared in Bozhou City before! If Shen Bailian becomes a Divine Palace Realm expert, as long as the other party reveals even a little bit of cultivation resources, it will be enough for him to have a second spring and advance to the Embracing Moon Realm!

In this era, as long as you have money, power, and strength, let alone the foundation of a school with decades of history, even a school with hundreds of years of history cannot withstand this combination of blows.

As a result, many outstanding students from old schools such as Bozhou No. 1 Middle School and Bozhou No. 2 Middle School found excuses to become traitors and transferred to Bozhou No. 1 Middle School.

The principal of Bozhou No. 3 Middle School was grinning from ear to ear. It was a windfall! However, while he was excited, he also felt a little regretful.

Because Shen Bailian's rise was so rapid, exceeding everyone's expectations, before he could even make up his mind to invest, Shen Bailian had already taken the martial arts college entrance examination and entered the Tiangang Academy.

Even if he were to offer Shen Bailian millions in cultivation funds or rare and precious materials, it wouldn't even be considered icing on the cake at that stage.

"Look at what you're saying! What do you mean by 'traitorous ninja'?" The short-haired high school boy rolled his eyes at the chubby boy, straightened his collar, and said righteously:

"I like the teaching atmosphere at Bozhou No. 3 Middle School. The teachers there are beautiful and have great voices... cough cough. Anyway, for a better future and a better tomorrow, I finally made up my mind after several weeks of difficult deliberation."

"You're despicable. You're just after the title of Shen Bailian's direct junior brother." The chubby boy rolled his eyes at the short-haired high school boy. After so many years of friendship, how could he not know what the other was thinking?

"I was originally planning to bring you along, but now it seems..."

"Step forward!" Upon hearing this, the chubby boy's expression changed instantly. He turned around, looked sternly at his innocent-looking companions, and said angrily:

"Who just said my brother is a traitorous ninja? Step forward and admit it now, or don't blame me for not holding back!"

"..."

……

"Buzz~" "Buzz~"

Shen Bailian traversed through the sea of ​​clouds, rapidly heading towards his destination. At the same time, his smart bracelet began vibrating wildly, and he subconsciously tapped to check it.

"Huh? So much!"

Shen Bailian's expression changed immediately, and he stopped moving, because on the screen displayed by the smart bracelet, a few green dots and a large number of red dots were flashing continuously.

The green dots represent teammates, while the red dots represent the second-tier ferocious beast, the flamingo.

"Are there really so many second-tier flamingo beasts this time? Just a quick glance at one corner of the light screen reveals thousands of red dots flashing." Shen Bailian's heart skipped a beat. He scanned the entire map but found that the number of beasts was impossible to discern.

Because those red dots were just too densely packed.

Clearly, this is not just a simple Level 2 mobilization order. The warning issued on the spaceplane earlier must have been a cover-up.

"Drip! Drip! Drip!"

Just as Shen Bailian was deep in thought, the smart bracelet suddenly emitted a piercing "beep beep" sound, which was a distress message from the other martial artists.

This is the 'Ferocious Beast Early Warning System' of the Heavenly King's monitoring system of the Great Xia Kingdom.

Any martial artist belonging to the Great Xia Kingdom, after becoming a first-tier martial artist and registering, can receive a martial artist allowance after submitting an application. Shen Bailian had also looked forward to it, but he later found that the allowance was only tens of thousands of Great Xia coins a month, which was far too little, so he stopped caring about it.

After logging in, whenever a beast tide occurs within a radius of 100 kilometers, the early warning system will issue a conscription order to suitable martial artists in the vicinity, based on the strength of the beast tide.

Of course, if you find yourself in a dangerous situation, you can use the summoning panel on the smart bracelet to send out a request for help to the martial artists around you.

however.

Just as Shen Bailian came to his senses, he discovered that the piercing "beep beep" sound had disappeared. Someone had taken on the rescue mission and successfully rescued him.

"Such a small child shouldn't come here to join the fun. Go home and cultivate." Suddenly, a deep voice rang in Shen Bailian's ears from afar.

Then, the sound disappeared at an extremely fast speed.

Shen Bailian was stunned for a moment. He looked in the direction of the sound and his sharp eyes made it clear that the man with fluffy long hair was holding a long spear and disappeared into the sea of ​​clouds.

Accompanying the man with the fluffy hair were dozens of streaks of light, maintaining high-speed movement while keeping an orderly battle formation, clearly indicating that an entire nearby exploration team had accepted this Level 2 conscription order.

Subsequently.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Just seconds after the squad rushed in, a series of muffled explosions rang out, followed by countless lava fireballs bursting out of the sea of ​​clouds.

The once thick, white sea of ​​clouds was instantly shattered into a sieve, collapsed with a roar, and was dyed by the intense red light into a sunset-like red cloud.

next second.

"hold head high!!!"

A series of sharp, piercing, and terrifying sounds, so dense they sent chills down one's spine, roared up from the sea of ​​clouds, soaring straight into the heavens.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
The crimson clouds were instantly broken through, revealing huge, fiery red figures, some of which let out a mournful cry before falling to the earth.

Some of them cried out to the sky in a mournful cry, their cries containing an unusually intense rage. Above their thick necks, covered with layers of scales, was a head as large as a small house, with a sharp, sword-like beak that was jet black and gleaming with a cold, metallic light.

When its wings are spread, the wingspan is a good twenty or thirty meters. The wings that blot out the sky are shimmering with a blend of brilliant gold and deep dark purple.

Below its abdomen were strong, powerful legs with sharp, hook-like claws that gleamed with a cold, icy light.

It was nothing short of a killing machine.

With a roar, it plunged into the sea of ​​clouds once more.

"These ferocious beasts are indeed problematic. Fortunately, I didn't rush in recklessly." Shen Bailian stood in the void, trying his best to suppress his aura.

Upon seeing the unusually dense red dots, he became wary. Otherwise, they would have been just ordinary second-tier ferocious beasts, which would have been as easy to kill as cutting melons and vegetables, even if he were multitasking.

Why would they stay in one place?
"However, since no third-tier ferocious beasts have been found yet, there's not much of a problem." Shen Bailian's Divine Eye quickly swept across the area, and after the ordeal of that exploration team, his vision became clear.

Then, with a slight thought, the Dragon Slayer, gleaming with a cold light, appeared in his hand, and with a roar, its speed instantly exceeded three hundred meters per second.

They charged into the sea of ​​clouds.

"Ding Lei, you're such a jerk!"

"Damn, you didn't do any scouting before you led us in."

"If I believe your nonsense again, I'll be a dog!" someone complained bitterly to the disheveled man in the center of the battlefield.

"You said the same thing last time."

"Stop arguing. Our most important task right now is to break out of here as soon as possible. We can't stay here for too long." The spear in Ding Lei's hand left afterimages like a raging python.

"Pfft~"

"Pfft~" "Pfft~" In just an instant, the heads of several ferocious beasts were pierced by the spear, but those beasts were like ants, endlessly killed.

Meanwhile, many members of the expedition team were in dire straits, their armor shattered by the dense lava fireballs.

"Ding Lei, you have to think of something!"

"If we don't come up with a solution soon, we're all going to die here!"

Hearing the urging voice in his ear, Ding Lei also became anxious. The veins on his forehead bulged, and he used all his strength. His spear thrust out like a storm, killing dozens of ferocious beasts again.

However, this number was merely a drop in the ocean and could not affect the overall battle situation at all, because there were simply too many ferocious beasts, and maintaining flight required a continuous consumption of primal force.

Most martial artists, even if they can defeat a ferocious beast of the same level, would find it difficult to fight against a hundred, let alone thousands of such beasts at the same time.

There is no resistance.

If things continue like this, they will only become fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of the flamingo flocks, with no way to counter it.

Sudden.

"Stay put and don't move around. I won't be responsible if you get hurt or die." A young voice suddenly rang in the minds of the expedition team members and their captain, Ding Lei.

follow closely.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
The members of the expedition team discovered that, suddenly, streaks of milky-white energy, each tens of meters long, appeared in their field of vision, moving at an extreme speed.

Subsequently.

"Pfft~" "Pfft~"

The bodies of those second-tier ferocious beasts, the flamingos, suddenly stopped, split in two. The cut surface at the gap was extremely smooth and flat, and then blood spurted out, filling the air with a bloody smell.

boom! boom!
With a deafening roar, hundreds of flamingos plummeted to the ground like a rain of blood-red droplets.

"The Sea-Opening Realm!"

"They are definitely warriors at the Opening Sea Realm!" Many members of the exploration teams showed expressions of relief and excitement upon seeing this, especially those whose armor was damaged.

Only a powerful martial artist at the Sea Opening Realm can unleash such a solid blade aura.

however.

When they turned around, they saw a young man dressed in black with a cold, sharp gaze. In the instant his sword rose and fell, fierce sword energy was unleashed.

In an instant, it cleaved several flamingo beasts in two.

"That……"

"Isn't that the boy we just met?" Many members of the exploration team were stunned, staring blankly at the boy's relaxed and carefree movements.

Ding Lei, in particular, almost popped his eyes out.
