My citizenship is at risk

Chapter 161 Hidden Rules, Lantern Pillars (13 more chapters)

"There are only two stone tablets..."

After collecting the 60 tokens, Chu Mu looked at the results of his comprehension, and then turned his gaze to the Tianxuan monkey beside him, "Senior, may I ask what level of comprehension I have?"

"What do you think?" The corners of Tianxuan's mouth twitched slightly under the mask, and he said with a smile, "I am Tianxuan."

"From yesterday to today, you are the second person to earn a token from me."

"But... it's a little early to say that now."

"After all, there are still five stone tablets waiting for you." Tianxuan Monkey pointed to the stone tablet that Chu Mu had not yet lit up, "This secret method is very powerful, but if you only understand a little bit, it will be meaningless."

"Senior Monkey, what exactly is the secret method we are realizing?" Song Yan asked curiously, "Can you tell me about it?"

"My last name is not Monkey... Never mind." Tianxuan Monkey shook his head, "You have already passed my challenge once, so it's okay to tell you."

"I'm from Tianshu Martial Arts University."

"This secret method also comes from Tianshu Martial Arts University."

Upon hearing this, Chu Mu and Song Yan's eyes lit up.

It turned out to be Tianshu Martial Arts University, the number one among the Seven Martial Arts Universities of Beidou!
Although the ranking of Wuda cannot fully represent the strength of the secret technique, the secret technique of Tianshu Wuda sounds very powerful!
"To be able to enter the re-screening, I believe you must have come into contact with high-level techniques." Tianxuan Monkey looked at the two and said calmly, "The number of high-level techniques included in the alliance is about 30,000."

"Most of these techniques were created by our predecessors. They are the precious wealth and inheritance left to future generations by the alliance's thousand-year martial arts development."

Hearing this, Chu Mu and Song Yan's expressions also became serious.

They have all acquired and learned high-level techniques in their own ways, and are all beneficiaries of the wealth left behind by their predecessors as star warriors.

However, what does this have to do with the secret method left in the stone tablet?
"The alliance's high-level techniques cannot just rely on the legacy of our predecessors. Every strong person who grows up should emulate their predecessors to create new techniques."

"In this way, the alliance will have more foundation and its overall strength will become stronger and stronger."

"But, creating a new technique is not easy." Tianxuan Monkey said calmly, "If the difficulty of mastering a technique is 1, then the difficulty of creating a similar technique is 100, or even higher."

Chu Mu and Song Yan nodded in agreement.

For the two people who were only at the Soaring Realm at the moment, creating their own method was like a fairy tale.

"The secret method that needs to be comprehended in my challenge is a secret method related to the creation of methods. It can assist the strong in creating new techniques." After laying the groundwork for a long time, Tianxuan Monkey dropped this bombshell.

"Assisting in creating a method?" Chu Mu widened his eyes.

After feeling the inexplicable meaning, Chu Mu realized that this secret method was not simple, but he never expected that this secret method was so powerful.

"That's right." Tianxuan Monkey nodded, "It's called 'Eighteen Manifolds', and it was created by my teacher's great master a hundred years ago."

"Alliance martial arts has been developing for thousands of years. In the first nine hundred years, the number of high-level techniques was only over ten thousand. However, in the past hundred years, there has been a blowout phenomenon. In the past hundred years, nearly twenty thousand new techniques have appeared."

“The reason for this is the birth of The Eighteen Manifolds.”

"In our Tianshu Martial Arts University, the top 36 secret techniques in the school are called Tiangang Secret Techniques, and the Eighteen Flow Forms is ranked fourth among the Tiangang Secret Techniques."

"With a vague form, it becomes the root of all things."

"The creator of this secret technique is my teacher's great-grandmaster. He could easily create high-level secret techniques with just a wave of his hand. When fighting with others, he could see through and master the opponent's techniques at a glance."

"So powerful?" Song Yan's eyes widened, with a look of strong anticipation on his face.

After listening to Tianxuan Monkey's words, his interest in this secret technique increased greatly.

Chu Mu on the side didn't say anything, but his eyes were equally fiery.

Tianxuan Monkey glanced at the two of them with a half-smile, "Cherish the opportunity to comprehend now. Even if you enter Tianshu Wuda in the future, I'm afraid you won't have such an easy opportunity to comprehend the Eighteen Manifolds."

"I'll challenge you again." Chu Mu took out 30 tokens and handed them to Tianxuan Monkey.

During his first challenge, he took a lot of detours and wasted a lot of time. Now that he has experience, he feels he can be more efficient.

Combined with Tianxuan Monkey's brief introduction to this secret technique, he already had a vague idea of ​​how to gain the next insight.

"I'll try again!" Song Yan on the side also took out the token decisively.

Tianxuan Monkey took the token with a smile.

The reason why he said so much was to allow the two to continue to gain insights.

The further the seven stone tablets are lit up, the more difficult it becomes.

Chu Mu and Song Yan lit up the stone tablet with their first enlightenment, but as long as a certain enlightenment failed to light up a new stone tablet, his KPI would be preserved.

but…

Tianxuan Monkey glanced at the time and did not rush to lead the two into the dojo. Instead, he smiled mysteriously and said, "Let's go in later."

"Why do we have to wait?" Song Yan asked anxiously.

At this moment, he wished he could sit in front of the stone tablet immediately and comprehend this powerful secret method that ranked fourth in Tianshu Martial Arts University.

"Because..." Tianxuan Monkey paused, "Your first 24 hours are almost up."

"Hmm?" Chu Mu's eyes moved slightly and he stared at the Tianxuan Monkey.

Unable to make out any clues from the Tianxuan Monkey's smiling eyes, Chu Mu had to start from what he had just said.

The first twenty-four hours...

Chu Mu couldn't help but look up at the sun in the sky.

That is not our solar system's sun, but another star.

At this moment, its position in the sky is the same as when everyone first arrived at the Star of Ten Thousand Beasts.

As an artificial planet, the rotation period of Wanshou Star has been artificially adjusted to 24 hours, the same as the Earth.

Therefore, the consistent position of the sun meant that about twenty-four hours had passed since they arrived at the Star of Ten Thousand Beasts.

One seventh of the time for rescreening has passed.

But if there is any deeper meaning to what Tianxuan Monkey said just now, there may be other meanings.

He was about to ask when he heard the Tianxuan Monkey suddenly speak.

"The time has come." The next moment, the lamp post next to the dojo suddenly lit up with a blazing light, which overshadowed the sun's light and turned into a sky-high red light, penetrating through layers of clouds, as if it was about to break through the sky.

Such a sudden change caused everyone present to exclaim in surprise, with expressions of confusion and astonishment.

Chu Mu was stunned for less than a second before he reacted.

"Fly!" There was a strong expectation in his eyes. He stomped his feet, and with the surge of source power, his figure soared into the sky.

Since such a change has occurred to the lamp post corresponding to the Tianxuan Monkey, it is very likely that similar changes have occurred to other lamp posts as well.

This means that the zodiac challenge points in a large part of the Wanshou Star will be exposed to everyone!
In just a blink of an eye, Chu Mu had flown to a height of nearly a thousand meters. The trees in the forest could no longer block his sight. Looking into the distance, red beams of light were clearly visible.

"Thirteen...fourteen...fifteen!"

Chu Mu's eyes flashed with excitement.

He saw the locations of fifteen zodiac challenge points!
The planet is spherical, and this is all he can see. He may be able to see more if he continues to go higher, but for him at this moment, flying to a height of a thousand meters is already the limit.

However, this is enough.

According to the direction and distance, Chu Mu quickly determined the locations of the light pillars of Kaiyang Ox, Yaoguang Tiger and Yuheng Chicken that had arrived before.

The remaining twelve beams of light all correspond to unknown zodiac challenge points!
In the short term, he should no longer have to worry about where the next challenge point will be.

While Chu Mu was observing his surroundings, other martial artists in the safe zone below also reacted. Hundreds of them soared into the sky together, creating a spectacular sight. Even those who were still gaining insights in front of the stone tablet couldn't help but pause.

"No need to ask for directions now." Song Yan flew to Chu Mu's side and smiled, "Write down the locations of these zodiac challenge points. They will be enough for us to challenge for several days."

Chu Mu nodded and was about to say something when suddenly a martial artist not far away exclaimed.

"Look over there!"

Everyone followed his guidance and looked in a certain direction.

In the distance, a red beam of light was slowly dimming, but the other beams of light around it did not dim and were still extremely eye-catching.

"The lamp post here is also dark!" Another martial artist also exclaimed, pointing to the other side.

It was another lamp-post, dimming.

Chu Mu's pupils suddenly shrank.

This lamppost was not too far from them, and Chu Mu had been there before.

That is the lamp post corresponding to the Yaoguang Tiger.

Chu Mu was shocked when he saw the lamppost completely dim and finally disappear.

The lamp post is a symbol of the zodiac's challenge point, so it is not difficult to guess what the dim lamp post means.

Yaoguang Tiger challenge point is closed?

if it is like this…

Then will the ten-kilometer safety zone within the challenge point still be effective?
Yaoguang...Yaoguang!
A drop of cold sweat slid down Chu Mu's forehead, and he looked at the equally dim lamppost in the distance on the other side.

If he guessed correctly, that lamppost was most likely a Yaoguang-level zodiac sign.

Will the Yaoguang-level zodiac signs exit the stage within the first 24 hours?
So what about another 24 hours later?
Is it time for the zodiac signs at the Kaiyang level to exit the stage?

If my guess is correct and it continues like this, by the last twenty-four hours of re-screening, perhaps only the Tianshu level will be left.

By then, there will be only 84 of the 12 safe zones covering Wanshou Star.

Shrink the circle!

Chu Mu took a deep breath and his eyes became serious.

The competition in this re-screening might be even more intense than he expected.

"Chu Mu, what's going on? Why are two lamp posts dim?" Song Yan scratched his head, looking confused.

"Nothing." Chu Mu patted Song Yan's shoulder and looked at the calm Tianxuan Monkey below, "Let's go comprehend the secret method first."
-
Somewhere on the Star of Ten Thousand Beasts, a red pillar of light reaching the sky was rapidly dimming until there was no light left, and even the original light of the lamp post disappeared.

One after another, figures fell rapidly, their eyes looking towards the center of the venue.

There, there was a girl wearing a sheep's head mask standing quietly at the door of a castle. On the forehead of the sheep's head mask, the star among the Big Dipper corresponding to Tianshu was much larger than the other six stars.

After a moment of silence, the leading martial arts student spoke in a deep voice, "Tianshu Yang, why is your lamp post dim?"

As he spoke, the rest of the martial arts students echoed him.

The dim light beam at the zodiac challenge point where they were located gave them an ominous feeling.

In the crowd, Yu Qianqian stood quietly in the outer circle.

She had been here for less than an hour and had not had time to participate in the challenge of this zodiac sign.

After all, this is a challenge of Tianshu difficulty, and the sheep challenge is said to have many traps and is difficult to pass.

Unexpectedly, such a change occurred.

Yu Qianqian stared at the girl wearing the Tianshu sheep headgear. For some reason, she gave her a strong sense of familiarity.

Facing everyone's questioning, Tianshu Yang looked around calmly, his eyes swept over Yu Qianqian's position, and paused slightly.

Seeing the other person's purple eyes hidden under the hood, Yu Qianqian's body shook violently and an incredible look appeared on her face.

The next moment, Tianshu Yang turned his head away, and a familiar voice appeared in Yu Qianqian's ears.

"Idiot, run!"

It was indeed Zhuang Ling!
Yu Qianqian's heart trembled, and she turned around and ran out of the safe zone. The acceleration characteristics attached to the source power exploded, making her disappear in an instant.

Watching her best friend go away, Zhuang Ling slowly took off the Tianshu sheep's headgear. Her extremely delicate facial features made the surroundings quiet in an instant.

With a slight smile, revealing two small canine teeth, Zhuang Ling spoke slowly, "I'm unemployed, and this is no longer a zodiac challenge point."

There was dead silence all around, and after a moment, streams of energy shot up into the sky.

A melee involving thousands of people began.
