Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 556 Four Eyes
Zhou Leng recalled that this thing was recorded in the fragments of divine script in the Demon Spirit World. He didn't quite understand what it was at the time, but now he suddenly understood.

In advanced civilizations, bloodline, ethnicity, and identity are all useful, but not universally applicable.

There are too many powerful factors such as bloodline, clan, and identity, and most of them rely on ancestors, which cannot truly measure a person's superior value.

A life of a higher civilization cannot be so base as to use bloodlines, ethnicity, or identity as markers to represent its value.

Civilizational achievements are the currently accepted standard of measurement.

During their childhood, before the age of 100, they can gain civilizational merits through extremely rare trials.

After reaching adulthood at 100 years old, only a few actions, such as improving the "evolution level" of the entire civilization or completely killing the "alien god," can earn civilizational merit, which is beyond imagination.

Currently, this medal of civilization is not yet fully formed; it is merely a projection. It will only be able to solidify and take shape after all trials are completed and all scores exceed 120 points.

Zhou Leng looked at the Civilization Medal and thought of some of the contents of the divine script fragments, and a thought struck him.

In most advanced civilizations, life is more equal, and conditions such as wealth, power, or strength are not unimportant, but they cannot play a decisive role.

Civilizational achievements.

Even if an ordinary person in a primitive civilization obtains a civilization medal, even if it's just 1 point of civilization merit, they will be treated with respect in any advanced civilization.

The Medal of Civilization is something we are determined to obtain.

In addition to the Civilization Medal, the World of Will has added a new set of things.

A "world chariot" and a "martial arts shadow wall".

The world sphere has an ancient and simple appearance, somewhat resembling a silver-gray metallic armillary sphere. It has a sphere inside and a ring around it that rotates slowly.

The Martial Shadow Wall is just a small jade tablet, about the size of a palm. This is true for the "Slaughtering Mountain Battle Body" technique, and it is also true for the Martial Shadow Wall of the Ancient River Sect after it was shrunk down.

A message entered my mind.

I originally thought that the Martial Shadow Wall only had the form of a jade tablet and an enlarged jade stele, but now I know that it also needs a World Globe.

"Theoretically, this reward should only be given to Wu Yingbi, but I don't have the World Globe, so it was given as an extra reward, which caused a bug to occur again?"

Zhou Leng tried to control the World Globe and the Martial Shadow Wall.

Then Wu Yingbi flew into the world sphere shaped like a celestial globe. The outer ring of the world sphere spun rapidly, emitting a faint rumbling sound.

whoosh...

Zhou Leng felt a sudden darkness followed by a flash of light, and his body appeared in a completely new world.

The grassland was azure, the sun shone brightly in the sky, the distant forest was peculiar, and some strange-looking beasts walked slowly by.

Then, a screen of light appeared before my eyes, with dazzling red divine characters on it.

"Star Court Warning: Star Court Laws stipulate..."

Zhou Leng thought the face looked familiar and began to read it carefully.

Although I couldn't recognize all the characters, I could generally guess that it was something like copyright protection information.

As the light faded, a humanoid creature with blue-black skin walked over.

It is about five meters tall and has a huge blue-black tail that slowly sweeps the ground.

Its body and limbs are similar in outline to those of a human, except that it has eight sharp claws on its fingers, a bone crown on its head, and exceptionally broad shoulders.

It has four eyes on its head, one in each of the four directions: front, back, left, and right.

Behind his head hung a divine halo, from which small asteroids coalesced to form a giant ring that emitted a faint glow.

The star rings were only slightly larger than his head and looked very small, but upon closer inspection, they resembled a magnificent asteroid belt.

The divine halo slowly rotated, radiating boundless majesty.

It is very similar to the phantom of the deity that I saw in the Divine Might Land before.

This expert strolled over as if taking an evening walk, but in Zhou Leng's mind, he was like a towering mountain, with towering waves behind it slowly crushing the earth.

The breath of death was overwhelming.

It was as if I could see the Heavenly Calamity Envoy pointing his finger at me again.

The world is about to collapse.

Zhou was stunned for a moment, then instantly realized that he had underestimated advanced civilization.

The Shadow Wall is not something like a television video at all.

Rather, it's this fully simulated world.

Not only did it leave behind images, but it also left behind a divine aura.

Zhou Leng immediately bowed and said in divine script, "Student Zhou Leng greets teacher."

The four-eyed demigod smiled and glanced at Zhou Leng, saying, "A rudimentary civilization, with a smattering of divine script. To be able to score so high at such a young age is quite impressive."

"Teacher, you flatter me. I dare not accept such praise."

Zhou Leng's heart pounded like a drum; the divine power within actually possessed an independent consciousness.

"Show off your light-footed skills."

"Yes."

Zhou Leng first demonstrated the Bagua Step, Wandering Cloud Body Technique, and Flying Crane Movement that he had learned initially, and finally demonstrated the Heavenly Dragon Flash of the Ancient River Sect.

The Four-Eyed Clan's illusory god pondered for a long time before saying, "The scope of your civilization's cultivation methods... have you ever encountered martial arts relics?"

"Teacher, your insight is truly remarkable. The final Heavenly Dragon Flash did indeed originate from a martial arts relic," Zhou Leng said.

The Four-Eyed Clan's Void God said, "There's no need to be so polite. I will then provide you with guidance tailored to your clan's physical constitution and cultivation techniques."

"Thank you teacher."

The Four-Eyed Clan's Void God walked to Zhou Leng's side, reached out, and felt Zhou Leng's bones from head to toe, leaving no inch untouched.

Then, his eyes lit up, as if scanning Zhou Leng's entire body from head to toe.

He pondered for a long time before slowly saying, "Interesting, very interesting. The bodies of your race are so ordinary, so plain. At first glance, there is nothing special about them."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Leng felt a chill run through him; it was all over.

He added, "Such a people always manage to create miracles."

"Why?" Zhou Leng asked, puzzled.

The Four-Eyed Clan's illusory god said, "Even a rudimentary civilization should know that the evolution of life is often measured in hundreds of millions of years."

"For example, the reason why we, the Four-Eyed Clan, are fortunate enough to have four all-around eyes is because we live in a harsh environment and our enemy clans have a strong ability to launch surprise attacks."

"Those ancestors with poor eyesight who did not evolve four eyes went extinct long ago. Only our lineage was fortunate enough to survive."

"In order to adapt to the environment of our world, our bodies use all the potential of our genes to enhance our physical abilities and eyesight."

"In our world, we, the Four-Eyed Clan, are the strongest and the most correct." "Do you think, among all the myriad races of the universe, we, the Four-Eyed Clan, are still the strongest?"

Zhou Leng did not answer.

"Of course not. In advanced civilizations, we Four-Eyed Clan are just ordinary. Our race has evolutionary potential, but not much."

“Your race may seem ordinary in many ways, but that also means that you have enormous evolutionary potential.”

"Being ordinary means having no strengths, but it also means having no weaknesses; being unrefined means having infinite possibilities."

"Of course, surviving in the universe also requires a bit of luck."

"Alright, next, I will train your lightness skill."

"However, you are from a rudimentary civilization, and there are 'civilizational shackles' between us. I cannot teach you 'specific techniques,' but I can teach you my experiences and insights, my training methods, and the correct principles of lightness skill..."

After finishing his explanation, the Four-Eyed Clan's illusory god, referencing the movement training courses of advanced civilizations, tailored a set of light-body training courses for them.

With a wave of his hand, hundreds of light-body training equipment or venues appeared on the ground.

Zhou Leng followed orders and conducted training.

While training, the Four-Eyed Clan's illusory god imparted experience, knowledge, insights, and philosophies, and even occasionally recounted events of advanced civilizations related to lightness skills, including some famous figures.

Zhou Leng tried hard to memorize.

I don't know if it's because of the World Gear, but my memory suddenly increased dramatically. Every key divine script that Teacher Four Eyes mentioned could immediately leave a phantom image of the divine script in my mind.

Originally, memorizing divine runes required many repetitions before they could form a phantom image in the mind.

The phantom will remain for a while, but it will eventually disappear.

If you recall it repeatedly, the divine inscription will become clearer and clearer, eventually solidifying and being remembered forever.

Time has no place in the world, and Zhou Leng studies and trains repeatedly.

After completing the first phase of training, Teacher Simu asked Zhou Leng to continue participating in the more advanced evasion trials.

Zhou Leng bids farewell to his teacher and embarks on a new trial of higher difficulty.

This time, the score reached 110 points.

Even fragments from artillery shells and rockets that would normally explode over a large area can be effectively avoided.

After repeated attempts, the highest score was 112 points, still not reaching the 120 points required for the higher difficulty level.

Zhou Leng used the World Instrument and Martial Shadow Wall again to learn from Teacher Four Eyes.

And so they went in and out of training, back and forth.

Gradually, Zhou Leng felt himself changing more and more.

It's not just about physical skills, but also about understanding martial arts.

With just a few words, Teacher Simu could enlighten even a novice martial artist.

Some martial arts understandings are useful for lightness skills, body techniques, or footwork, and are equally useful for other martial arts techniques.

And so Zhou Leng continued to cultivate and undergo trials repeatedly.

"The first level of the evasion trial is now open."

On the martial arts arena, a dense barrage of attacks came crashing down.

Zhou Leng's figure, however, was completely different from before.

My body used to be like a bullet, constantly flying at high speed, which was dazzling to look at.

But now, it seems to have become clumsy and slow.

Take one step, stop, take one step, stop again.

stop-and-go.

But strangely, it seems to possess eyes that can see into the future.

Where it stops, it will never be attacked.

Wherever it goes, all attacks will pass by.

It seems that among the densely packed landing points, one can always find an absolutely safe time and an absolutely safe place.

Most importantly, the physical and mental exertion was less than one-tenth of what it used to be.

Invalid moves are extremely rare.

Tianlong Shan's complex steps are simplified.

All things follow their own course, and all things originate from their own source.

Zhou Leng followed Teacher Simu's instructions closely, focusing his mind on nothing else, and used the seemingly choppy light-footed skill, Tianlong Flash.

He even occasionally abandons the Heavenly Dragon Flash and uses the basic Bagua Step or even basic footwork instead.

A buzzer sounded.

"Trial complete. Congratulations to Zhou Leng for successfully completing the advanced difficulty dodge trial and achieving 120 points."

"Since the perfect score reward has already been claimed, no additional reward will be given."

"However, once you obtain the complete Civilization Medal, this result will be recorded in it and will be universally applicable."

Zhou Leng scanned his surroundings; all the attackers had vanished.

Zhou Leng smiled, wanting to re-enter the World Ring and Martial Shadow Wall, and thanked Teacher Four Eyes.

That Martial Shadow Wall has disappeared.

The guidance has ended.

Zhou Leng was stunned, feeling a void in his heart.

The passage of time in the realm of consciousness is difficult to calculate, but based on the progress of cultivation, the two have spent at least half a year together day and night.

Unfortunately, we must part ways eventually.

Just as Zhou Leng was about to enter the second room to adjust his trial, he suddenly felt soreness and numbness all over his body.

Body and consciousness are connected.

Zhou Leng opened his eyes.

The ward came into view.

Chen Shouhu and Wang Boxiong both turned to look.
