Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 627 Alien
Molten Hammer said, "That was a battlefield between a dragon god and a giant god. It is said that the two gods perished together in the end, and their divine might has lingered for countless billions of years, and it has not dissipated to this day..."

"I don't know the details of the True King Trial, but in the end, both sides choose their strongest to fight a final battle. Whoever wins will receive more divine blessings. These are divine blessings, not ancestral blessings, and the level difference is about a hundred times. The True King Trial only opens once every thousand years, making it far rarer than most trials. Many genius dragons and giants have spent their entire lives without ever being able to enter the True King Trial, which is a pity."

Zhou Leng asked, "Are there any alien races in the True King Trial?"

"Yes, but the prerequisite is having the bloodline of a giant or a dragon. Without it, you can't get in. For you humans, it's either having the body of a giant or the bloodline of a dragon."

"That's good. Which side do you think I should choose?"

Hammer asked in surprise, "Adults, shouldn't they all want that?"

Zhou Leng patted Rongchui on the shoulder, indicating his approval.

Molten Hammer said, "When the two of them were arguing, they mentioned something important: alien powerhouses might appear during the True King Trial. They generally won't fight for the True King's throne, probably because they're wary of something, but they will try to obtain the treasures in the trial grounds and they will also kill people. You should be careful."

"Alien powerhouses...from intermediate or even advanced civilizations?"

“Definitely. We are still far behind them... Hmm? Your aura... is not that of an ordinary mid-level cultivator, is it?” Molten Hammer sensed that Zhou Leng’s aura was too strong, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

"Ah."

"Your gaze, like that of a demigod of our race, appears calm, but in reality seems to reach the horizon. You're no ordinary mid-level being, are you?"

"The martial arts of today are slow but precise."

Over the past six months, Zhou Leng has ostensibly been studying divine scripts, but in reality, he has significantly enhanced his martial will and comprehensively reorganized his martial arts system by deepening the power of the divine scripts.

His martial arts realm far surpasses that of a mid-level grandmaster.

In particular, his self-created "Great Sun Divine Skill" has been continuously improved, and its cultivation effect is getting stronger and stronger, with extremely rapid progress.

The content of the divine script textbooks over the past forty years, coupled with the deliberate explanations by the freakish little elf, covers martial arts knowledge that far exceeds what Blue Star has accumulated over the years.

His theoretical knowledge has surpassed that of any demigod or martial saint in the ten realms.

Aside from the avatars of the gods in the Demon Prison.

Next, it's time to gradually absorb and put it into practice.

There is a difference of billions of light-years between knowing and learning.

Seeing that the two were still bickering, Zhou Leng said, "You two play rock-paper-scissors, best of five. Whoever wins goes first."

So, a dragon and a giant shouted, "Rock, paper, scissors!"

Emerald wings produce cloth, mountains and rivers produce scissors.

"No, no, this doesn't count." Emerald Wings acted like a scoundrel.

"Why?"

“Our dragon claws aren’t as nimble as your hands, so you have to go easy on me.”

"no!"

"You're bullying the dragon."

"???"

The two bickered and argued, and Emerald Wings used all sorts of shameless methods to win against Shanheyuan.

Shanheyuan was ultimately a kind-hearted man and decided to find time to beat up this treacherous green dragon later.

Emerald Wings walked away triumphantly with Zhou Leng.

"Why aren't Big Yellow and Little Eight here?" Emerald Wings asked her friend.

“They’re not suitable to come here; it would easily expose their identities. Let’s get down to business,” Zhou Leng said.

Emerald Wings said, "We know you haven't advanced to the middle rank... you're not at the middle rank anymore?"

"Ok?"

“We know you haven’t been promoted to a higher rank, but the Trial of the True King is far too important. The Dragon Kings hope you can enter the Trial of the True King, join the dragon ranks, and help us attract the Dragon God’s gaze. One Dragon God’s gaze is worth dozens of ancestral blessings, enough to give the current high-ranking dragons two or three more demigod dragons in the future…”

"The Queen said that if you can attract the Dragon God's gaze, the Dragon Clan is willing to send two demigod descendants to serve you, regardless of gender or race. If you can withstand it, even a demonic dragon will do."

Zhou Leng didn't understand what kind of reward this was, and casually asked, "The Crimson Eyes will do too?"

Emerald Wings widened its eyes, raised its dragon finger, and said, "You're really something, buddy. You have excellent taste. Her Majesty Crimson Eyes is the most beautiful dragon in the dragon race, but she's too powerful. None of her suitors can beat her, which is why she's always been single. After you ascend to sainthood, you can try it out and taste the life of a demigod dragon. Maybe you can even have a litter of powerful dragonmen."

"You're really on my side, seriously."

Emerald Wings said, "Their main fear is that you will help the giants. So, as long as you can attract the Dragon God's gaze and not help the giants, we can talk about anything."

"Open all the relics of the stars to me."

The dragon race has existed for hundreds of thousands of years and participated in so many wars between the ten realms, accumulating a vast amount of valuable resources.

As the Dragon King and the Dragon Chief Councilor, he could freely look at ordinary relics, but the other party was still somewhat wary of the most precious star treasures, unless he used Dragon God combat techniques to exchange for them.

"Okay, I'll go ask them right away if there are any other conditions?" The Emerald Dragon cub didn't care about selling his grandfather's land.

"What do you think?"

Emerald Wings pondered for a moment and said, "If you help me get the corpse of Emerald Crown out, I will tell you."

"Do I need to go deeper?" "No need, just get the dragon corpse."

"Alright, I'll go to the Giant World later and get that corpse for you. But you have to give me a share."

Upon hearing that he was to share his belongings, the leader of Emerald Wings was very unhappy. His eyes darted around, and he said, "That Martial Shadow Wall, what's it called, 'Mountain Slaughtering Battle Body'? Isn't it due? How about I lend it to you for another year?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Leng shook his head and said, "No, at least three years."

“Okay, three years it is.” Emerald Wings smiled, thinking to herself that she had made a profit again.

He continued, "If you really want to ruthlessly slaughter the Dragon Kings, you need a 'Dragon Egg' slot. Once you advance to Martial Saint, have them offer sacrifices to the World Will to allow you to enter the Dragon World, then transform into an egg, regenerate, and forge a perfect holy body."

"what is that?"

"The core of the Dragon World. It is the legacy of the true Star Dragon, the foundation upon which the Dragon World stands. I don't know many details, only that it is a treasure of a certain Star Dragon race, which can give you a new life and bring you closer to the Starry Sky race. The number of Dragon Eggs is limited, and even demigod dragons are not all qualified to obtain one. If you want to get one, you will need to add dozens more Dragon God Battle Techniques."

"Dragon egg... Okay, you can make that my condition. Also, add some medicinal herbs; I'll send you the list."

“No problem.” Emerald Wings was very generous with things that didn’t belong to them.

The two chatted for a few more minutes, and Emerald Wings returned triumphantly, glancing at Shanheyuan a few times before chatting and rambling with Molten Hammer.

Shanheyuan approached, his ten-meter-tall frame looking down at Zhou Leng, and remarked with a sigh, "You've reached the middle rank?"

"It's in the middle."

"I've just become a Grandmaster, and my injuries haven't fully healed yet," Shanhe Yuandao said.

"Do you need my help?"

Shanheyuan shook his head and said, "The giants have many methods, and with the final reward from the Great Battlefield, they have basically eliminated the power of the Heavenly Calamity Envoy. I've heard about Zhang Xinglie though..."

"I'm trying to figure something out," Zhou Leng said.

"That's good. As you probably know, the reason I've called you here is to ask you to join the giants and help us obtain the Ancient Call."

Are you going?

Shanheyuan shook his head and said, "I can't keep up with you anymore. The most obvious example is... I just came back from Xihai Martial Arts University and learned that Ruda's ranking this year is almost catching up with Xihai Martial Arts University. It ranks 14th in the country and is only one step away from Xihai Martial Arts University, which ranks 10th."

"I really don't know," Zhou Leng said.

"It's basically because of you. The Divine Literature Academy has directly raised the admission scores and university ranking of Ruda University. Now, the rumors on the internet are getting more and more outrageous, saying that Ruda University's Divine Literature Academy is the best in the world, and that the Divine Literature Department of Yunhua Jinjing University is already outdated. There are actually a few liberal arts students from Yunhua Martial University applying to Ruda University. Plus, you're a third-year Grandmaster and a huge internet celebrity, so many students from all over the world want to get into Ruda University..."

"By the way, the higher-ups reduced funding for Changda this year, and the deducted funds were used to supplement Ruda. It hasn't shown its effects yet this year, but barring any unforeseen circumstances, Changda may fall out of the top ten next year, and Ruda will take its place. We at Xihai Martial Arts University are gloating, saying that Ruda has been competing with Xihai Martial Arts University for decades and was originally going to fall out of the top ten in martial arts, but luckily Changda gave it a divine intervention." Shanhe Yuandao said.

Zhou gave a cold laugh.

Shanhe Yuandao said, "Let's get down to business. Are you willing to help us and join our Giants' camp? If so, what do you want?"

“The Dragon World is willing to open up all the star treasures for me to study, and also provide dragon eggs,” Zhou Leng said.

Shanheyuan's face showed an unnatural expression. He said, "Dragon Egg? They're really going all out. That must include bringing you into the Dragon World after you advance to Martial Saint. However, you do have dragon blood, so entering the Dragon World shouldn't consume too much power. Hmm... they're just making empty promises."

Shanheyuan stared at Zhou Leng.

"But this pie looks delicious, so you giants can also draw a pie in your face."

Shanhe Yuan thought for a moment and said, "You participated in the Ascending Star Mountain event and have the true bloodline of a giant god. It's normal for us to give you treatment similar to a dragon egg. However, we giants aren't as gambling-minded as dragons. Besides, the old folks are afraid you'll collude with the dragons."

"Never mind whether I'm colluding with the dragons or not. As long as I can summon the Ancient Call, you've already defeated the dragons, right?"

“That makes sense. Are there any other conditions?” Shanheyuan asked.

“I really like the Ice God Wings of the Armor King,” Zhou Leng said.

"Hmm... next one."

"We also need some medicinal herbs..."

After reaching an agreement, Shanheyuan boarded the Demon Spirit Carriage and returned to the Giant World.

Emerald Wings took one look, flapped its wings and flew away, shouting, "See you next time! Don't worry about Molten Hammer, I'll keep an eye on the mother dragons for you. Maybe one of them got her brain damaged by the giants and likes you."

"Whatever," Hammer said with a grin.

“You have quite the ambition,” Zhou Leng said.

"Mountains and rivers are giants, and the Iron Dwarves are also of giant blood. They are all giants, so what's the difference!" Molten Hammer shouted.

"Okay, good luck."

Molten Hammer glanced at Zhou Leng's residence, crept closer, and handed over a string of bright red fruit.

"The giant furnace asked me to deliver this. It's a treasure from our dwarf world called 'One Nest of Red,' and you can eat a whole string of them after you finish eating them."

"Thank you." Zhou Leng accepted the gift.

“We’re all brothers, no need to be so polite. Don’t forget to invite me when my nephews and nieces have their one-month celebration.”

Times have changed. The population of this era is less than one-fifth of that of the past. In addition, martial artists are physically strong, the legal age of marriage and childbearing has been lowered, and the use of defensive measures is no longer encouraged.
