Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 437 Asking
High Tower City.

Cang Feilan and all the mages of her family gathered below the square, looking incredulously at the new rankings of the Ancient Spirit Path.

First place: Zhou Tian Extreme Cold.

Second place: Azure Flame.

"Patriarch, according to your calculations, Zhou Leng schemed against Xiao Yan, and might even have killed her to silence her, which is why you summoned us. And then, Zhou Leng brought Xiao Yan to second place?"

"Big brother, although I'm not very smart, something doesn't seem quite right to me?"

"If someone lies to me and tricks me into getting to the second level of the Ancient Path, I'm not bragging, I can let them lie to me for the rest of my life."

Cang Feilan's face was expressionless, her mind completely blank.

How could this be?
How can a martial artist be number one?

How could Xiao Yan possibly be second?

Ranking second, the practice of sending students to the branch of the Three Towers for three years by selling one's possessions to ask for help is no longer relevant; instead, the Three Towers actively recruits students.

Full member.

Cang Feilan stood there for a long time, then sighed and said, "We can no longer understand the world of young people."

"We young people don't understand it either." Some of the brothers and sisters of Azure Flame were also confused.

"I estimate that none of the world's legends and demigods can understand it right now."

The Ice and Snow Cult.

In the side hall, everyone fell into a long silence.

As Zhou Leng's ranking continued to improve, all the members of the temple had arrived, and the entrance was completely blocked.

Without reaching the Innate Realm, one is not even qualified to enter the gate.

Frosthand, one of the masters who presided over the affairs of the Ice and Snow Cult, can now only sit in the second row.

In the first row sat several demigods clad in crimson mage robes.

Everyone stared silently at the light screen directly in front of the side hall.

First, the sky is extremely cold.

Second, the Crimson Flame.

This silence was too long, as long as a failed marriage.

"What exactly did Zhou Leng do?" A demigod demon spirit master broke the silence, like a third party who had intervened.

No one answered.

"Only God knows," a legend muttered to himself.

"What do you think the Three Towers will do?"

"Zhou Leng is a member of our Ice and Snow Cult!"

"Let's go to the Great Demon Tower."

"go!"

Five demigods led the way, followed by dozens of legends, with the remaining magic masters bringing up the rear, as they entered the teleportation array in a grand procession.

With a flash of light, Zhou Leng found himself in a large hall.

Then, the hall flashed with light, and everyone on the Ancient Spirit Path was teleported out.

Almost the instant those people appeared, a white light flashed by.

Before the others could even see it, Zhou Leng was swept away by a new white light.

Everyone looked at each other.

Those who were unconscious or injured have disappeared; those present are all those who are conscious from the path of oppression.

The Azure Flame has been healed and has been teleported here.

They all looked up at the light screen on the wall at the far end of the hall.

The final rankings are marked above.

First place: Zhou Tian Extreme Cold.

Second place: Azure Flame.

Third place: Light of Mountains and Seas.

Fourth place...

"Human martial artists are cheating!"

The fifth-ranked spirit master was heartbroken; the rewards for fifth and third place were a whole tier apart.

"Fourth and fifth, they should have been second and third!" the fourth-ranked magician roared.

The light of the mountains and seas remained silent, thinking to himself that there was no such thing as "should have been".

"We'll go find the masters and make sure to overturn this ranking before the awards are given out!"

"Yes, once the rankings are determined, we can't change the rewards."

"All aspiring members of the Three Towers, please join us in reporting Zhou Leng and Cang Fei Zhi Yan for cheating."

"Glory belongs to the three towers, and so does the number one spot!"

The demon mages of the Three Towers were filled with righteous indignation and began to walk outside.

"Mountain and Sea Light, why don't you go? Is it because you got third place and suffered no loss?"

The light of the mountains and seas is silent.

"coward!"

Then, some of the three high-level tower magic masters looked towards the Azure Flame.

Most people didn't say anything, since Azure Flame ranked second and would inevitably be recruited into the Three Towers.

But one of the demon spirit masters angrily said, "Azure Flame, you promised not to compete for the top three, yet you broke your promise and violated the demon spirit oath. Aren't you afraid of the demon spirit's backlash?"

Cang Feizhiyan retorted, "What does it have to do with me that Zhou Leng carried me into second place?"

"you……"

They remembered that when Zhou Leng carried the Azure Flame away, everyone tried to stop him with their oaths, and Zhou Leng had said something similar.

Nearly half of the demon masters left in anger to report the incident.

The Eye of the Spirit Hall and the Book of the Spirit Hall exchanged a glance, shook their heads slightly, and decided not to go.

I hesitated for a long time before deciding to give up on buying Zhou Leng's "The Song of the Long Wind" from "The Heart of the Maze".

He made it into the top ten, but the top three were irrelevant to him anyway, so there was no need to offend such a powerful martial artist.

If we were to meet on a great battlefield, at least we would have a chance to survive, instead of being killed with a single punch.

The Great Deep Court. The core of the Great Demon Spirit Tower, the highest organization of demigod demon spirit masters.

Zhou Leng stood in the circular area, looking around.

Directly in front, on tiered seats, sat several demigod spirit masters dressed in crimson robes.

The eyes of these magicians shone with magical power, each eye like a spotlight, bright and dazzling.

They simply sat there, creating an endless spiritual storm, a surge of power.

Zhou Leng only glanced at it before feeling dizzy and had to look away.

Hundreds of demigods sat in various places, but only a dozen or so were physical entities; the rest were semi-transparent projections.

"Greetings, esteemed demigods." Zhou Leng remained calm.

"Are you a human warrior named Zhou Leng?" one of the elders asked.

"Yes."

Why did you enter the world of demons?

"Firstly, to join the Ice and Snow Cult, and secondly, to help Azure Flame cross the Ancient Spirit Path."

Where did you get your Lark card?

On the way, Zhou Leng suspected that he had the Ancient Bird Token, which might have been taken away when he entered, so he didn't see it.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it comes from the Ice and Snow Cult. Because I was drunk that day, my memory is hazy," Zhou Leng said.

Was this trip planned, or just a coincidence?

"This is my first time entering the Demon Spirit World, and my understanding of it is negligible. All of this is purely coincidental. The power and mystery of the Demon Spirit World are beyond the reach of an ordinary martial artist like myself," Zhou Leng said.

Why is your martial will so strong?

"Last year, I was poisoned and fell ill, but this actually calmed me down and allowed me to reflect on and learn martial arts. I turned misfortune into a blessing and achieved something. What made me achieve this was the 'Zhao Dongjun Miscellaneous Collection,' which led me to receive the spiritual inheritance of Zhao Sheng in the ninth palace of the Path of Intimidation, and my martial arts will was further improved."

The demigods and demon spirit masters exchanged glances.

This explanation is similar to the conjectures of many people.

Demon Spirit Masters and martial artists are ultimately different; Demon Spirit Masters find it difficult to comprehend Zhao Dongjun's martial will.

Most demigod spirit masters' expressions softened.

Most of them were captivated by Zhao Dongjun's charm, and some even had close personal relationships with him.

Zhou Leng is a member of the Ice and Snow Cult, and is also a Snowborn and a Light Dancer.

Both publicly and privately, they deserve their care.

They also discovered that Zhou Leng had actually roamed the Ten Realms and was quite senior among the dwarves, giants, and treants.

"What happened after completing the tenth palace and entering the Path of the Otherworld?"

Zhou Leng was about to answer, but after thinking for a moment, he said helplessly, "I dare not go into details about what happened inside, because it involves the inheritance of advanced civilizations. I can only say that it seemed to be a simulated starry sky, and I only stayed there for a very short time before leaving."

Some of the demigods nodded slightly; this was pretty much what they had guessed.

"So, how did you obtain the divine script spellbook?"

A gust of wind blew by, and the divine script spellbook in the magic bag flew into the air.

The demigods' eyes shone brightly, and their powerful spiritual energy surged within the Great Deep Court.

Zhou Leng lowered his head and avoided looking.

The overwhelming mental pressure ahead was even stronger than that of the tenth house.

"really."

"It is more profound than the previous book."

"Unfortunately, the previous book wasn't fully deciphered..."

Zhou listened quietly to the demigods' discussion and realized that they were similar to the Martial Saints of Blue Star.

Even the Blue Star Martial Saint could not decipher the divine script, but he could comprehend different martial arts based on the meaning within it.

Then, this martial art is passed down to martial artists.

“Answer the question from before,” said a demigod.

Zhou Leng thought for a moment and said, "I have an exceptional talent for divine script. Fortunately, I have also come into contact with a lot of divine script and knowledge in the Ancient King Trial of the Dwarfs and the Ancient River Trial of the Humans, which has further improved my divine script level."

"Perhaps it was because I was very lucky that I managed to pass the exam and obtain the divine book, through a combination of guessing and deduction."

"Lucky?"

None of the demigods believed it.

Every demigod here is considered lucky.

Luck is important, but it is by no means the most important factor in advancing to demigod status.

Every demigod makes tremendous efforts to learn endless knowledge and master powerful abilities.

"The world of demon spirits has existed for tens of thousands of years, and countless demon spirit masters have entered the path of ancient spirits. Are they all less fortunate than you?"

Zhou Leng said, "Those who are luckier than me don't have as powerful divine runes as I do. Those who have more powerful divine runes than me aren't as lucky. Those who surpass me in both divine runes and luck can't enter the Ancient Spirit Path."

The demigods and demon spirit masters didn't care about Zhou Leng's witty remarks.

"So, you obtained the divine script spellbook only by passing an exam administered by an advanced civilization?"

"Yes."

Can you review the exam process?

"Do you all think that advanced civilizations allow leaks of exam questions?" Zhou Leng asked politely.

No one answered.

Some parts of the Ancient Spirit Path belong to the trials of advanced civilizations, which even demigods are unaware of.

Everyone knew that Zhou Leng was hiding something, but which demigod wasn't full of secrets?
Some of the demigods looked at each other.

Right now, two things are most important to them.

First, I have mastered the divine script spellbook, which I have already accomplished.

Secondly, it's best to keep this warrior here, preferably forever in the Demon Spirit World.

The leak was secondary; the main reason was that Zhou Leng's demonstrated mastery of divine script and potential would be of great value to the study of demonic spirits.

Such talent should be put to the best use.

As for the Three Towers failing to secure first place, or the Demon World being humiliated by a martial artist taking first place, such worldly and superficial interests are completely outside the demigod's considerations.

While the demigods were exchanging ideas, Zhou Leng reviewed the issues surrounding demigod spirit masters and discovered a key point.
