Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 311 Passage
In just ten minutes, more than a thousand trial participants were seriously injured and forced to retreat to the edge of the mountaintop.

There were no more than eight hundred people present.

Five minutes later, only 500 remained on the field.

Only a little over two hundred people remain in Wushi.

The trainees, who were recovering from their injuries, watched the battle, while some demons and sirens frowned.

The participants in the battle included demons, sirens, orcs, dragons, giants, magic masters, blue star warriors, treants, and iron dwarves.

Nine ethnic groups.

There are very few sirens still fighting now, only three.

Even though the Siren's land combat strength is slightly lower, this ratio is still strangely low.

Among them, the number of giants is the largest, which is easy to understand; there are many giants, and they are also very strong.

Secondly, there are dragons. Dragons are powerful individuals and are willing to help Dark Fury and Gray Steel Wind, so that's fine too.

But the third largest group is surprisingly human warriors from Earth, and their numbers are not far behind the top two.

The blasphemous pageboy, who had not participated in the battle, discovered this result and began flipping through the pages of his book haphazardly.

He secretly gathered the less seriously injured members of the Demon Worship Cult, demons, sirens, and orcs.

"Get ready. After the battle, we will join forces with other factions and attack only humans, ignoring other races!"

“There’s something very wrong with this group of young warriors, especially those who came from the Ancient River Trials.”

“Once they get out, they will become a major threat to us.”

"We can't let them leave alive!"

"Now, don't hesitate, use up all the potions to recover. The resources we steal from them will be enough to make up for it!"

"Once we return to the Demon Prison, I will help you apply for a high-level demon ascension ceremony!"

The demons rubbed their hands together, eager to devour the medicine.

The murderous intent in the eyes of the demon worshippers was even stronger.

Only Shen Jun frowned, constantly observing the martial artists on the field.

Five minutes later, only eighty martial artists remained, while only three hundred or so trial participants remained.

Dark Fury has taken down several Stone Golems in succession and is now standing on the ground, observing the battlefield.

He would glance at the stone warriors, then at some of the human martial artists, then at Guan Canglong, and occasionally at Zhang Xinglie, Song Juesi, and other experts from various races.

The last stone warrior fell.

Only 204 participants remain on the field.

They were all injured, some were swaying and almost unable to stand.

Everyone stared intently at the light barrier in front of them.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared, and the first layer of light shield expanded rapidly.

It enclosed 204 people, isolating others.

The stone warriors on the ground got up one after another, jumping around, and walked outside the first layer of light barrier, facing the other trial participants.

Those who were recovering from their injuries were stunned for a moment. Some sighed softly, while others cursed themselves for losing the big picture for a small gain.

At least one-tenth of the trial participants were pretending to be unable to fight, not wanting to put in too much effort, and only wanting to take advantage of the situation.

To their surprise, they weren't given any chance at all.

The demonic head of the blasphemous book boy revealed subtle wrinkles.

The human population reached 41, accounting for one-fifth of the total.

In particular, all the martial artists who entered the Ancient River Trial later were inside.

"Something's not right, something's really not right..." The blasphemous page squinted, scanning over all the humans.

Shen Jun felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at those who had emerged from the Ancient River Trial. He would occasionally glance at Guan Canglong, and then at Zhang Xinglie or Song Juesi.

He glanced at the blasphemous page, hesitated for a long time, then shut his mouth and remained silent.

"Om..."

Inside the first layer of the protective shield, the thirty-three large stone warriors emanated a faint white light, and their eyes shone with a jade light far brighter than that of the smaller stone warriors.

Then, a divine voice appeared out of nowhere and echoed within the light barrier.

All the trial participants stared blankly.

Only Zhou Leng listened attentively.

The divine voice ceased, but the thirty-three great stone figures remained motionless.

"Who can understand this? It sounds like divine script. What does it say?" Dark Wrath shouted.

Everyone was silent.

"Damn it..." Gray Steel Wind cursed under his breath.

"It's over... I came for nothing."

A short while later, Zhou Leng typed a message in the Guhezhong group.

"Let me translate the divine message from earlier."

"The voice said that only by entering the second layer of the light barrier can we officially retrieve the treasure."

There are two ways to enter the second layer of the light mask.

"Either defeat a Great Stone Golem by himself."

"Either learn the protective divine skills of the thirty-three Great Martial Stone Men, choose one of the thirty-three."

"Is that all?" Li Yuanhe asked.

"That's all, it's very simple."

"It's very simple..."

Zhang Feng posted a picture emoji that said, "You think you're so great because you're so high and mighty."

Then, everyone lined up to copy and paste the same emoji, creating a continuous stream.

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, none of us will be able to defeat the Great Martial Stone Man. Learning the Body Protection Divine Skill is the best solution."

"Yes, even if we can win, we will only get one treasure, which may not be as good as a complete set of protective divine skills."

Zhou Leng said, "You all rest first, then secretly learn the Body Protection Divine Skill. Zhang Xinglie, you secretly tell Lou Feiqiong and the other six human martial artists. As for the other races, keep it from them for now, since they can't learn the Body Protection Divine Skill anyway. I'll go tell Shanheyuan."

“Okay!” Zhang Xinglie agreed and secretly contacted other human martial artists.

Zhou Leng secretly contacted Shanheyuan.

Shanheyuan had gone through the Giant Trial with Zhou Leng and was very familiar with Zhou Leng. He had long seen that Guan Canglong resembled Zhou Leng and was not surprised.

Just as Zhou Leng was preparing to cultivate, lightning struck from the sky, flashing white light and accompanied by a deafening roar.

boom……

A bolt of lightning struck a demon spirit master. The demon spirit master instantly turned to ashes.

Zhang Xinglie shouted, "No filming or recording allowed! This is a special tradition of the Starry Sky Sect! Anyone who films will die!"

Everyone stared at the thin layer of dust on the ground, remaining silent.

Dark Wrath originally wanted to rush forward, but after thinking about it, he sat down on the ground, took a potion, and began to heal his wounds.

"If you can't take pictures, can you still remember them?"

“Theoretically, yes, you can give it a try,” Zhang Xinglie said.

Therefore, all the trial participants began to memorize the blood and qi circulation diagram on the Great Martial Stone Man.

Zhou Leng sat cross-legged on the ground, scanning the thirty-three large stone warriors.

These large stone figures are covered with dense lines, which are all pathways for the flow of qi and blood.

The thickness varies; the thicker ones represent meridians, while the thinner ones represent blood vessels.

The colors differ: the skin layer is red, the muscle layer is yellow, the internal organs layer is green, and the bone layer is gray...

Each layer of the operating pathway is like a net, with a total of six layers covering the entire body.

As for which protective skill is suitable for oneself, it is impossible to judge directly.

Zhou Leng first looked at the dantian of the first large martial stone man, and followed the partial diagram to run the cultivation technique, only running the meridians near the dantian, and then conducted martial arts perception.

After circulating your energy for a while, you will feel something. Remember this feeling and look towards the second one.

Zhou Leng tried them one by one.

An hour later, he had sensed all thirty-three Great Stone Men.

Five of them resonated with me the most.

There are three that fit their operating methods.

Zhou Leng kept looking at the three martial stone figures, pondered for a moment, then expanded the range of his energy to perceive them more precisely.

The results were obtained quickly.

One of them is worse, while the other two are not much different.

One type of protective divine skill consumes more energy but is slightly more powerful. The other type consumes less energy but is slightly less powerful.

Zhou Leng thought for a moment and chose the first option: the seventh martial stone man.

First, memorize the Qi and blood circulation diagram on the front of the seventh stone statue, then go to the back and memorize the Qi and blood circulation diagram on the back.

After memorizing everything, I returned to the original spot, sat in meditation with my eyes closed, and a transparent version of myself appeared in my mind, my body covered with diagrams of the flow of Qi and blood.

Zhou Leng did not immediately begin cultivation. Instead, he repeatedly recalled the Qi and blood circulation diagram and simulated its operation over and over again.

A short while later, he got up again and observed the seventh stone warrior once more, comparing it with the memories in his mind.

Repeat this process more than ten times to thoroughly memorize the Qi and blood circulation diagram.

"I can't wait any longer, let's take down the next one first!"

The Dark Fury surged forward and pounced on the first Great Stone Golem.

Everyone looked over.

The Great Stone Man was ten meters tall, and the Dark Wrath was also enormous; the two seemed like two small mountains constantly colliding.

Zhou Leng and the other martial artists observed carefully.

Previously, the Little Stone Man could only use a single martial art.

Unlike ordinary innate martial artists, the Great Martial Stone Man unleashed a variety of innate martial arts from the Ancient River Sect. His moves were skillful and his techniques were exquisite, far surpassing those of ordinary innate martial artists.

Zhou Leng hesitated for a few seconds, then closed his eyes, stopped paying attention to the battle, and began to cultivate his protective divine skill.

Strands of true energy surged from the dantian, merging into the meridians and circulating along specific routes.

Then, the true qi is separated and enters the blood vessels to circulate qi and blood.

Ordinary martial arts techniques have a limited range of qi and blood flow.

The protective divine skill covered his entire body, and the way it operated was different in different parts. After only a few seconds of operation, Zhou Leng felt something was wrong and stopped.

Quietly reflect on the gains and losses before taking any chances.

Without any divine written explanation, cultivation is extremely difficult.

The circulation of Qi and blood is extremely complex.

Different places have different operating methods, different speeds, different quantities, and different pathways...

The Qi and Blood Circulation Diagram is like an airplane blueprint; even the best engineer would encounter countless difficulties trying to create it alone.

Zhou Leng encountered another problem. When he opened the group chat, he saw that many people were asking questions.

Zhou Leng also posted his own question, and then looked at other people's questions and answers.

Zhou Leng glanced at Zhang Xinglie and immediately noticed that his cultivation was going exceptionally smoothly, with his qi and blood flowing extremely smoothly in his body, unlike himself who encountered various obstacles.

"This talent is too strong..."

Then he looked at Song Juesi.

At first glance, Master Song appeared unchanged, but his clothes were slightly bulging without any fluctuation, indicating that his internal energy was unusually stable.

With his astonishing martial arts skills, Master Song quickly mastered the operation of the protective divine skill.

Zhou Leng had never learned about the body-protecting divine skill.

Search the database and learn about the body-protecting divine skill from scratch.

After quickly learning the relevant knowledge, Zhou Leng had an idea.

The "Star-Searching Secrets" is divided into two parts: Part 1 and Part 2.

The next part will contain content related to protective divine skills.

Reread the second part of "The Star-Gazing Technique" given by Tyrannical Blood, and study his insights and notes, focusing only on the part about the protective divine skill.

"I can't take it anymore, it's too powerful!"

The Dark Fury, covered in wounds, roared and retreated to the edge of the light barrier.

The first large stone figure stopped its attack and returned to its original position.

Everyone else looked at the Great Stone Man and completely gave up on the challenge.

Even Gray Steel Wind and Ten Thousand Mountain Armor had no chance of survival.

Both the man and the dragon had sparred with Dark Wrath, but neither could last more than thirty moves.

If it's a life-or-death battle, the outcome might be decided in ten moves.

Even with such powerful Dark Fury, it was completely helpless against the Great Stone Golem.

"Shall we try going together?" Gray Steel Wind said.
