Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 335 Sealed
The second case involved a demon attacking the city, where a family of three was destroyed by the demon.

It was the residual power left behind by this demon that caused Zhou Leng to be injured and fall ill.

This time, it was also considered an accident.

After that, many people tried to resist, but either failed to summon the demon or were eliminated by the murderer.

Wu Wei sensed something was wrong and began to intensify his investigation of the Fifty-Nine Martial Arts School.

The last case involved the death of Zhang Xiaoxiao's grandmother before Zhou Leng entered the Ancient River Trial.

After Zhang Xiaoxiao's grandmother died, Zhang Xiaoxiao became possessed by a demon and was hunted down by an even more powerful possessed martial artist, disappearing without a trace.

Zhang Xiaoxiao is from Class 3.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaoxiao had a very close relationship with a friend who died in the accident.

After Zhang Xiaoxiao escaped, she joined the Huang Meng faction.

With the support of the Huang Meng School, Zhang Xiaoxiao successfully ascended to the Demon Realm and advanced to the Innate Realm.

Afterwards, Zhang Xiaoxiao returned to Rucheng and secretly contacted the parents of Class 3.

With the help of the parents of Class 3, Zhang Xiaoxiao gathers information.

On the day of Huang Mengpai's attack, the parents of Class 3 and Zhang Xiaoxiao joined forces to capture Rao Fuxing, the master of the 59th Martial Arts School, and other martial arts masters.

In the school's basement, a multi-person revenge plot begins.

Wu Wei concluded that Zhang Xiaoxiao did not do it alone because too much evidence pointed to it.

The basement contained traces of corpses, including slash marks and footprints from different people.

Judging from the traces, many of them were of mediocre skill and not at the level of the Huang-Meng school.

Finally, with incomplete evidence, the Armed Police Bureau made a further judgment.

In order to increase the power of his good-for-nothing grandson Rao Mingxian, Rao Fuxing used a magic array to absorb the power of the three classes and transfer it to Rao Mingxian.

Rao Mingxian's abilities steadily improved, and he eventually gained admission to Wuhan University.

The parents of Class Three were unwilling to accept this and resisted in various ways, but they were all suppressed by Rao Fuxing and even the Rao family and Zhao family behind him.

Finally, led by Zhang Xiaoxiao and with the help of Huang Mengpai, the parents of Class 3 took revenge.

Don't let any one go.

After reading it, Zhou Leng silently handed the information he had received to Wang Boxiong.

Wang Boxiong quickly flipped through the pages.

"You should be able to guess who mailed you the evidence of Zhang Xiaoxiao's crimes."

“Only he can do it,” Zhou Leng sighed.

Wang Boxiong looked at Zhou Leng, his eyes dark and unfathomable.

"Now, will you help your sworn brother Rao Mingxian, or your benefactor's descendant Zhang Xiaoxiao?"

Zhou Leng stood there, stunned, feeling a tightness in his chest.

No amount of innate qi and blood can break through it.

Can only be silent.

When I learned that Wu Wei had stopped the investigation, I felt a surge of anger.

But now it's my turn.

The same helplessness.

Wang Boxiong asked, "What's your opinion on this case?"

Zhou Leng opened his mouth, racking his brains, but couldn't utter a single word.

This case seems simple at first glance, but upon closer examination, it is difficult to summarize.

Rao Mingxian was forced into it, but what role did he actually play?
Rao Fuxing, a mere school principal, is simply not capable of suppressing this matter. What roles do the Rao and Zhao families behind him play?
As a member of the armed guards, should we investigate Zhang Xiaoxiao and those people first, or should we investigate the Rao family and Rao Mingxian first?

What will happen to those who are corrupted by the magic array?
How can we prevent such horrific crimes from happening again?

The image of the dark basement of No. 59 Middle School appeared before Zhou Leng's eyes.

The lights flickered, and shadows danced.

The crowd bent down, chopping away at the sinful flesh piece by piece.

A lifetime of hatred, poured into the blade.

Blood stained the magic circle on the ground.

After a long while, Zhou Leng asked, "Master, what do you think?"

Wang Boxiong slowly said, "This is a war that has been going on since ancient times and has never ended."

Zhou Leng was jolted, his mind reeling.

It cannot be explained from the perspective of a murder case, but from the perspective of war, everything seems to make sense.

"Who are the parties to this war?" Zhou asked coldly.

Wang Boxiong said, "You have to find the answer yourself."

Zhou Leng remained silent for a long time before asking, "How will the Military Guard handle this case?"

"Insufficient evidence, temporarily sealed."

Zhou Leng sighed softly.

Wang Boxiong said, "The Incense Burner will be available soon. After you advance to the Innate Realm, the Flying Eagle Project will run out of funds. Next up is the Divine Eagle Project for the Innate Realm stage."

"What should I do after I advance to the Innate Realm?"

"Let's take some time to reflect, thoroughly learn the knowledge of innate principles, then participate in the counterattack and hone our skills. After that, we'll go to Innate Mountain."

What's on Xiantian Mountain?

"Xiantian Mountain is connected to Grandmaster Island. There are some resource areas and cultivation grounds that can only be entered by those at the Xiantian stage, which are equivalent to advanced demon cities. The most important thing about Xiantian Mountain is that it has various cultivation grounds that cannot be encountered outside the world."

"Of course, there's also the innate ranking, which determines how much resources you can obtain. Do you want to be ranked under the name 'Zhou Leng,' or under the name 'Xin He,' or perhaps choose another name of your own?"

Zhou Leng asked, "Is it possible to not use your real name?"

“Of course. For example, Li Shenkong’s real name has not yet appeared in Xiantian Mountain,” Wang Boxiong said.

"How strong is Li Shenkong now?" Zhou Leng asked.

Wang Boxiong said, "They will probably catch up with me by the end of this year or next year."

"At this time last year, he had just emerged from the Youth Battle and had already advanced to the Innate Realm, right?"

"good."

“He was a high school innate master last year, and a sophomore grandmaster next year. No wonder his martial arts index has never been shown on the national freshman list. If it were, it would be too exaggerated,” Zhou Leng said.

“However, I’ve also heard some bad rumors,” Wang Boxiong said. “What?”

"It is said that the Li clan's eagerness to help him grow will make his path to becoming a Martial Saint somewhat bumpy. Moreover, it is said that he originally had the talent of a Void God above Martial Saint, but because the Li clan is too eager to achieve success, it is very likely that he will ruin his future position as a Void God."

"This... surely the Li family isn't that short-sighted?"

"It's not that the Li family is short-sighted, but rather that the path of martial arts is shrouded in mystery, and one could easily go astray. Of course, this is just speculation at the moment. Moreover, what we call obstacles may be a high mountain for us, but for him, they may just be a small hill."

"Probably."

“You’ve been worried about being targeted over there. I think…” Wang Boxiong said slowly, “why don’t make a sound for now, reduce the exposure, and wait until you advance to Grandmaster before making any moves. By then, even the powerful martial arts clans won’t be able to do anything to you.”

Zhou Leng thought to himself, "Wang Huaixiong is indeed worthy of the name." He slowly said, "Great minds think alike."

Wang Boxiong said, "After you become a Grandmaster, you can directly reveal your identity as the senior disciple of the Guhe Sect. At that time, you will have status, position, and merit. I will also use my connections to promote you. This will be your protective charm in the human race."

"Is this really necessary?"

"If you come from a powerful military family, you don't need to."

"I see."

"Work hard, and everything will be alright after you become a Grandmaster."

"Yes."

"By the way, don't try to break through the 'Gate of Will' at Xiantian Mountain yet. Wait until you're close to becoming a Grandmaster before you do it," Wang Boxiong said.

"Is that the training ground that tests martial willpower?"

"Yes. Once you test it, people will definitely find that your martial will is still intact."

"Martial will? I lost it a long time ago," Zhou Leng said.

“Yes, that’s exactly how it is,” Wang Boxiong said.

"Really, no." Zhou Lengyan said sincerely.

Wang Boxiong nodded in satisfaction and said, "Go cultivate, prepare for the initiation ceremony, and then prepare for the counterattack. Didn't you want to slay demons and monsters? Now that you've advanced to the Innate Realm, it's time for a big battle."

“Of course.” Zhou Leng’s eyes blazed with fighting spirit.

After saying goodbye to Wang Boxiong, Zhou Leng left the school and went straight to the Frost Giant Tree. Then he chatted with Da Huang about this and that, and asked Da Huang to find the Golden Page.

Now that I've advanced to the Innate Realm, Senior Tree should at least send me a golden page to congratulate me.

Senior Tree showed no reaction.

The man and the dog stared at each other, then finally stopped in desperation.

Zhou Leng looked at the Gates of Purgatory.

"The second level is the Valley of Insect Beasts."

The gates of purgatory turned, drawing Zhou Leng in.

It was thrown out shortly afterward.

Zhou Leng's face was filled with indescribable disgust. He cursed inwardly that the creator of the Gate of Purgatory was not human. The process of those worms crawling and devouring inside his body was too disgusting.

The Valley of Insects and Beasts is not a test of martial arts will, but a test of one's ability to endure nausea.

In order to eliminate the negative impact of the Insect Beast Valley, Zhou Leng rested and looked at the Gate of Purgatory once again.

"The third floor, the Spring Palace."

A short while later, Zhou Leng returned.

I smacked my lips; my ability to resist temptation seemed to have improved a little, but not much.

We need to continue strengthening this effort.

After resting again, we entered the fourth level, the Crimson Lotus Fire Hell.

Standing on the earth, scorched by crimson flames.

After advancing to the Innate Realm, both his physical body and martial will have grown.

In the flames, its body slowly turned black, but it was not burned to ashes as quickly as before.

The burning time gradually increased, and when it reached 300 seconds, the flame suddenly changed.

It suddenly changed from extremely hot to extremely cold.

The pitch-black body instantly split open, revealing numerous wounds that continued to widen.

Blood and flesh turned outwards, like bright red flowers blooming.

Black body, cracked and broken, blooming red lotus.

The intense pain assaulted Zhou Leng's martial will, and he let out a muffled groan before falling unconscious.

The gates of purgatory were thrown out.

"Woo?"

Da Huang ran up to Zhou Leng, his brows furrowed.

It's been a long time since I've been in a coma like this.

More than an hour later, Zhou Leng slowly opened his eyes and suddenly shivered.

The body even felt as if it were in the Red Lotus Fire Hell.

Even the strongest icy aura could not dispel this terrifying chill.

My body feels hot and cold all over, like a minor cold, constantly alternating.

Zhou Leng glared at the Gate of Purgatory.

This fourth level is indeed much more powerful than the first level.

Then I looked at her skin; her whole body was red.

It actually triggered the body's self-protection mechanism.

Zhou Leng had no choice but to get up, meditate, and circulate his qi to slowly dispel the illusions in his body.

On the surface of the Mountain of Will, formed from the condensation of martial arts will, faint red lotus flowers emerge.

It's light and subtle, like an eyebrow pencil.

"Imprinted on the will of martial arts, the Gates of Purgatory truly live up to its name..."

After thinking for a while, Zhou Leng drifted off to sleep.

After waking up, I began my daily cultivation practice.

He runs at high speed, practices various external martial arts, including the Flying Whale Chapter, the Sky-Severing Finger, and the Taiqing Sea Robe, and studies the killing move of the Overlapping Wave Palm.

Master Song once said that before mastering the eighteen killing moves of the Die Lang Palm, one should not learn other palm techniques. This point is of utmost importance.
