Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 555 Welfare
This trial is a "trial of consciousness," which generally only occurs in advanced civilizations.

The trial participant's body is outside, but their consciousness, spirit, martial will, memories, and so on will enter and be enhanced.

After completing the trial, the consciousness returns to the body, and with a little cultivation, it can be fully integrated.

While the Trial of Consciousness cannot directly enhance the physical body, it can enhance all aspects of life.

After receiving the information about the trial grounds, Zhou Leng discovered that the difficulty of the trials in these trial grounds was a bit outrageous.

It is said to be prepared for those who have passed the Qi and Blood Realm trial, but in reality, they are completely stuck at the Innate Realm level.

The so-called "Qi and Blood Realm Level" of the Heavenly Rank is based on the standard of advanced life forms at the star level.

Let alone ordinary geniuses, Zhou Leng didn't even meet the standard before advancing to the Innate Realm.

Only geniuses at least at the level of the Three Sons of Guhe can pass the nine trials.

The good news is that the Trial Master can make minor adjustments before the final decision is made, in order to achieve perfection.

Zhou Leng thought for a moment and then issued the order: "I want to try the trial."

shuh...

Zhou Leng appeared in the first room of the trial grounds.

The room began broadcasting divine texts.

"How could these Earthlings understand this?" Zhou Leng shook his head, translated the divine script, and made his first revision.

He was the only one there, so he took the initiative to read the trial announcements aloud, replacing the divine voice.

"Unnamed Elementary Consciousness Trial, First Stage: The Trial of Evasion. During this period, the trial participants will be subjected to various types of saturation attacks. The fewer vital points are hit, the higher the score."

"Achieve a score of 60 to advance to the second level."

"Achieving 80 points will earn you a Level 1 reward."

"Achieving 100 points will earn you a Level 2 reward."

"Achieving 120 points will earn you the highest reward."

"If you achieve a score of 120 in all nine trials, you will receive the final trial reward."

Zhou Leng stepped out and officially entered the first room.

The room quickly transformed into a square martial arts arena with sides measuring 100 meters, paved with white stone slabs, and surrounded by a series of steps leading to the audience seating area.

The audience seats were filled with all sorts of translucent cosmic races.

Some cheered, some clapped, and some shouted.

The trials of advanced civilizations are truly different; they even have atmosphere groups.

Then, make a second revision, delete the atmosphere group, and add the atmosphere group again after the actual combat trial.

"Dodge Trial One: Hidden Weapons"

As soon as Zhou Leng finished speaking, a masked man in black appeared in front of him, holding a light energy gun. With a wave of his hand, a laser beam shot out.

No matter how strong one's innate abilities are, it is impossible to escape the speed of light.

Fortunately, the solar gun had a activation time. Before it activated, Zhou Leng moved sideways to avoid the direction of the gun's muzzle, while inwardly cursing, "This can't be called a hidden weapon? It's shameless."

If used to test others, hmm... not bad.

The man in black kept firing.

Once the energy gun is fired, it cannot be dodged; the only way to avoid it is to point the muzzle in advance.

This is a world of consciousness, completely replicating the strength of the body at its peak. For a martial artist at the Innate King level, it's very simple.

"Dodge Trial Two: Arrows".

On the left, ten archers emerged, each at the Innate Realm level, drawing their bows and shooting arrows with lightning speed, never tiring.

Whoosh...

Their firing speed is far slower than that of the light energy gun, but they are more numerous.

While dodging, Zhou Leng observed the intensity of the trial, ensuring both the intensity and the goal of strengthening the trial participants.

As the difficulty of dodging increased, more and more men in black appeared around them, throwing hidden weapons.

Lasers, darts, arrows, crossbow bolts, spell missiles, continuous wind blades, falling rocks, and...

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
Five 125mm main battle tanks appeared at the edge of the martial arts arena. The tanks shook, the cannons roared, and white smoke billowed as five shells flew in, like five divine fires and thunderbolts.

Each shot was nearly as powerful as a punch from a newly promoted grandmaster.

If hit head-on, even someone as strong as Zhou Leng and Taiqing Haiyi would have their armor pierced, leaving a scar the size of a bowl on their body.

Zhou Leng remained calm and collected, either quickly dodging or deflecting the shells with his hand, causing them to explode with a bang not far away.

My fingers felt a powerful rebound force, as if they had been hit by a giant hammer, and they felt slightly numb.

The energy gun already created enough pressure, but the appearance of the five tanks caused the pressure to increase dramatically.

A moment later, five men in black carrying five individual rocket launchers fired a single shot at Zhou Leng.

Boom boom boom...

Zhou Leng was certain that any martial artist in their prime would have been reduced to ashes at this point.

However, the Innate King is capable of evading all attacks.

A barrage of long-range attacks rained down like hailstones...

"Avoid Trial Ten, and you will be blinded."

The instant this sound appeared, all the hundred black-clad men who had been moving around in a small area transformed into masters of light-footed martial arts, rapidly circling around Zhou Leng while launching frequent attacks.

Zhou Leng remained calm, his movements as swift as lightning, his hands fluttering like a hundred flowers.

If you can't darts, arrows, crossbow bolts, or falling rocks, catch them easily, deflect them, and they won't touch you at all.

Tank shells are fast and powerful, and rockets have a large blast radius, but both can be dodged.

You can't block spells or lasers, but you can dodge them.

He easily broke through 450 meters in a second, like a bullet shuttling back and forth in the martial arts arena.

Three seconds later, a white light appeared. Zhou Leng's vision was completely white.

Without warning, without resistance, I went blind.

Zhou Leng used his remaining memories to deduce the situation and, with the help of listening to the wind to pinpoint the location, dodged at high speed.

Vision returned one second later.

The first attempt to blind the target was successful.

Next, the trial went crazy, blinding the victim every few seconds, for periods ranging from one to three seconds.

Zhou Leng had already tried his best, but even when he was blinded, he was still hit by more than a hundred hidden weapons, lasers, cannonballs and rockets, and still could not retain his invincibility. He was hit in vital points one after another.

After a while, a buzzer sounded.

"Trial participant Zhou Leng, 98 points, excellent."

"Each trial in the Unnamed Trial Grounds can only be claimed once. Should I claim it now, or wait until I accumulate the highest score?"

"Wait for the highest score," Zhou Leng said.

"Would you like to repeat the first trial, or proceed with the second trial?"

"Five minutes later, repeat the first trial."

"it is good."

Zhou Leng stood in the center of the martial arts arena, recalling what had happened.

The difficulty of the entire trial was far beyond imagination.

Zhou Leng thought of the three sons of Guhe.

At that time, Guhe Sanzi was only at the Qi and Blood Realm in the Vitality Stage, but their combat strength was already equivalent to that of a Xiantian King.

The three sons of Guhe are certainly still some distance from being top geniuses of advanced civilizations.

Even if the three members of the Furukawa family came, they would need to practice repeatedly to achieve a score of 120 in this challenging test.

Zhou Leng sighed softly. Although he could accept that he was not as good as the top geniuses of advanced civilizations, he did not expect the gap to be so big.

Silently using the old martial arts memories to recall the process just now, he filled in any gaps in his understanding.

Upon recognizing errors in lightness skills and dodging techniques, one should try to correct and improve them.

Before long, the second trial began and was conducted once again.

Once, twice, three times...

Twenty times ago, Zhou Leng would occasionally be hit in a vital spot, and his score would fluctuate between 97 and 100.

After twenty attempts, he achieved 100 points every time, even avoiding vital points during the process of causing blindness.

However, those attacks are completely indiscriminate and have a wide range of destructive power. Even if you avoid vital points, you can't avoid other places and you will still get injured.

Zhou Leng never expected that he was so far behind the top geniuses in the starry sky. Unwilling to accept it and defying fate, he continued the trials.

Thirty times, forty times, fifty times...

Because it is a test of consciousness, the body will not get tired.

As the master of the trials, the power of the trial grounds would keep Zhou Leng's consciousness at its peak.

Zhou Leng was oblivious to the outside world and lost his sense of time, but he didn't care and focused on cultivating.

One hundred times, two hundred times, three hundred times...

Ultimately, after a thousand attempts, the score remained at 100.

There's no way to improve further; 120 points is just out of reach.

Zhou Leng kept reflecting, but still couldn't find the problem.

After a long time, they finally realized that these 20 points were not a difference between individuals, but a difference between advanced and primitive civilizations.

Zhou Leng shook his head and was about to enter the second room when a thought struck him. He said, "According to my tests, the first trial is too difficult and not suitable for a primary civilization. The difficulty will be reduced by one level."

A trial announcement sounded: "Difficulty reduced to the intermediate civilization level."

"Let's conduct another evasion test."

Therefore, Zhou Leng resumed the evasion trial.

Having endured the torment of advanced civilizations, Zhou Leng found the trials of intermediate civilizations to be effortless, like Lu Ban wielding his axe or Guan Yu wielding his great sword. No matter how fierce the attacks, they were like a gentle breeze and soft leaves, leaving him completely unharmed.

Zhou Leng seemed to be immersed in a pleasant game, running around the martial arts arena like a blur.

A buzzer sounded, signaling the end of the trial.

"Congratulations to Zhou Leng, the trial participant, for achieving a perfect score of 120 points and receiving the highest reward."

"Reward 1: You can take the dodge trial once every ten days to improve your dodging skills until you score 120 points 10 times in a row. Of course, you are the master of the trial and can enter at any time."

"Reward Two: Obtain a Martial Arts Void God's Lightness Skill Martial Shadow Wall, which records the Void God's experience in cultivating lightness skills, footwork, body techniques, etc. This set of images is protected by the copyright of Tai Sheng Qian Kun Star Court and is prohibited from being distributed outside."

"Reward Three: The option to spar with higher-level races has been added to the Trial of Avoidance, such as the Thousand-Eyed One, the Hundred-Handed Flower, and the Star Dragon. These higher-level sparring partners can be obtained by consuming Star Conch. Note that the higher-level sparring partners are extremely powerful. Even if the Trial of Consciousness is protected, your will may still be damaged, especially your confidence. Please use them with caution."

"Reward Four: Given that you are the first trial participant of the Blue Star Civilization to achieve a perfect score, and that you are a beginner civilization, as long as you achieve a perfect score of 120 in all nine trials, you will receive 1 point of 'Civilization Merit'. Civilization Merit is a universal merit in the Tai Sheng Qian Kun system and is extremely valuable, so please treat it with utmost care."

"Ok?"

Zhou Leng blinked repeatedly.

It seems they gained a considerable advantage.

However, being the master of trials and a Heavenly Saint might be a fixed perk?
possible.

Then, two points of white light entered the space between the eyebrows.

Zhou Leng contemplates the world of will.

There are two more things, or rather, three more things.

One is a translucent badge that sparkles like stars, like the moon, like a breathing star, spewing flames.

But a quick scan revealed that this was a peculiar encryption method; the entire Civilization Medal was actually a high-level identity card.
