In the game "High Martial Arts," players start with the blessing of the Martial God.

"What about the one from No. 2 Middle School?" Ji Ming asked again after looking around.

"You mean Zhao Hao?"

Xu Wei pointed to a slightly chubby boy, "That's him!"

Ji Ming turned his head to look at this person. He was actually the most curious about him. He knew better than anyone how difficult it was for someone with such poor talent to achieve such success.

He was able to awaken his second talent, [God of War's Blessing], but what about this one?

"Some information about him has been circulating in the past two days."

Xu Wei's tone was full of envy, "I heard it's a talent mutation; the original low-level talent has mutated into something comparable to an extraordinary being!"

"Talent can mutate?" Ji Ming was stunned.

Xu Wei shrugged; it was the first time he'd ever heard of it either.

"That's definitely possible!"

Song Zhirou, who was to the left, suddenly turned to the side and said, "There are indeed examples of talent mutations in the Xuanhuang Realm, but it all depends on luck. It's one in a million, and it's uncontrollable. After a talent mutation, it may become better or worse."

"Zhao Hao's leap from low-level talent to extraordinary is probably the first case in the Xuanhuang Realm!"

Looking at Ji Ming, Song Zhirou reminded him, "You don't need to pay too much attention to these things. Being able to cultivate the Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong to level 7 proves that you have excellent comprehension, which is stronger than any talent."

"Thank you, I understand."

Ji Ming nodded, but sighed inwardly. His comprehension might be decent, but his rapid progress was all thanks to some kind of cheat code!

but……

Ji Ming turned his gaze to Zhao Hao, who smiled and nodded at him. He stroked his chin, looking rather amused. He had encountered the first case of its kind in the Xuanhuang Realm.

Another "chance encounter"?

Or... a trap!

He shook his head again. It wasn't that bad. Before the monthly exam, he was just a nobody, not worth anyone specifically targeting.

"Never mind, let the teachers think about it!"

After thinking for a while without any clue, he simply stopped caring about it. All he cared about was increasing his strength.

……

"Clap clap clap!"

At this moment, Liu Shuo clapped his hands, "Alright, all fifty students in the class are present!"

"You have been granted access to the vast majority of permissions across the entire school. I hope you will make good use of them."

Ji Ming opened his bracelet and entered the school channel to take a look. Sure enough, many gray parts were lit up, including the gravity training room he had been dreaming of!

In addition, you can purchase various resources directly on campus, which is much cheaper than outside. For example, a box of Spirit Tempering Potion costs 30,000, but only costs 24,000 on campus, which is equivalent to a 20% discount.

Of course, the Spirit Tempering Potion was no longer suitable for him to use now. He looked at a potion called "Crimson Blood," which was the best cultivation potion that could be found in the Mortal Realm in Baichuan City, and it was much more effective than the Spirit Tempering Potion.

The price is also very high, 50,000 Xuanhuang coins per bottle outside the school and 40,000 coins inside the school. Moreover, it is limited, with each person able to exchange a maximum of 5 bottles per month.

"That's really expensive!"

Ji Ming sighed. This was only the Mortal Realm. The expenses would be even more outrageous once he reached the Jade Purity Realm, and it would be very difficult to buy such items. No wonder people say that if you don't get into the academy, your upper limit is basically set.

However, after doing the math, he realized that he was quite wealthy. He could collect the five bottles of Crimson Blood Potion and 20 Xuanhuang Coins he received as a reward for being second in the monthly exam. His family would also transfer 30 Xuanhuang Coins to him every month until the college entrance exam was over.

The purchasing power of Xuanhuang coins is quite strong. The family has already reached its limit in squeezing out this much money every month, which may even affect the operation of the business. It must be because Grandpa gave the order that he received this treatment.

It's fine at the beginning, but as time goes on, the relatives will definitely have complaints. Who knows what the uncles and elders who were so amicable before will think? But that doesn't matter. As long as he keeps making rapid progress, even if he doesn't get into the Star Palace, just getting into the Holy Land will be enough to silence all the voices.

"I wonder how efficient the Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong is at absorbing the Crimson Blood Elixir."

Ji Ming secretly hoped that the money would help him break through to the Jade Purity Realm.

To be honest, he is under a lot of pressure. Everyone's attitude towards him is based entirely on his monthly exam score, which has exceeded his own ability. He can't be confident until he makes a breakthrough.

"You can collect your rewards from the last monthly exam at the Academic Affairs Office now. Once you've decided on the skills you want to choose, please give them to your respective class teachers."

Liu Shuo looked at Ji Ming and a few others, "I will send you the list of Books of Will. Let me know when you've thought it over."

Ji Ming was taken aback, then realized that the Book of Willpower could not be chosen at will. Unlike video or text tutorials, the Book of Willpower required at least a corresponding fourth-tier professional to use it, and this professional had to have mastered the skill to perfection. Baichuan City's resources were only average, so the stock of Books of Willpower was definitely not much.

After saying all that, Liu Shuo changed the subject, "By the way, I believe everyone has heard that the Heavenly Demon Sect has caused quite a stir in Guyue and Tianlin provinces a few days ago."

His voice turned serious. "It's true!"

"Although these two provinces are far from our East China Sea, it proves that the Heavenly Demon Sect has indeed made a comeback and intends to operate in our Xia Kingdom."

Liu Shuo glanced around and said, "Everyone here is an elite of Baichuan City. Based on past experience, the Heavenly Demon Sect likes to target the younger generation, either through killing or bewitching them. Everyone must be careful."

"Don't worry, teacher. What Heavenly Demon Sect? We'll wring their heads off if they come!"

The students present were not afraid at all; on the contrary, they were eager to try.

This is normal. That's the prevailing social atmosphere in Xia Kingdom. Everyone values ​​martial arts, and the probability of failing the entrance exam for academy and having to serve in the military is very high. Nobody wants to just coast along and wait to die. So, seven out of ten families in Xia Kingdom are families of retired soldiers.

Through generations of such influence, the people of Xia in the Xuanhuang Alliance are known for their recklessness!

Let alone the Heavenly Demon Sect, a group of traitors to the human race and demonized professionals, even if they encountered a real Heavenly Demon, some people would dare to rush up and bite off a piece of flesh.

"Yes, having courage is a good thing."

Liu Shuo pressed his palm down, "But don't be blindly arrogant. Remember, if you encounter danger, sound the alarm immediately. Whether it's me or someone else, as long as we have the ability, we will rush there immediately."

"That's fine!"

Liu Shuo waved his hand. He was just giving a routine reminder. He didn't really think the Heavenly Demon Sect would dare to cause any more trouble. He had heard that they had suffered considerable losses in Guyue Province. Given the nature of these traitors, they should have already hidden away and secretly licked their wounds.

……

After class

Ji Ming received the Xuanhuang Coins and the potion, but he still didn't choose a martial arts skill. He had an idea in mind and planned to ask about it first.

No.1 Middle School Staff Courtyard

Ji Ming stopped in front of courtyard number three, knocked on the door, and a voice came from inside, "Come in!"

He was overjoyed and hurried into the courtyard. His purpose in coming here was to find Instructor Luo. Apart from the mysterious mayor, there was no stronger martial artist in Shirakawa City.

Since the principal had told him he could ask for more advice, and Instructor Luo hadn't refused, he wouldn't pretend to be reserved anymore.

"Hello, Instructor Luo, I'm sorry to bother you."

As soon as I entered, I saw a handsome middle-aged man standing in the courtyard. He wasn't wearing formal attire today, but rather a blue robe, which made him look much gentler than before.

"No need to be so polite, please have a seat!"

Luo Zhao pointed and said with a faint smile, "Since you have this potential, and I just happen to return to Baichuan at this time, then it's fate."

Back to?

Ji Ming was puzzled. Instructor Luo used to be from Baichuan City, but why had he never heard of him before?

In Shirakawa City, experts of the third rank or above are extremely rare. Someone like this shouldn't be unknown!

"You mean you want to know which martial art to choose next, right?"

"Master Luo's predictions are truly divine!" Ji Ming quietly changed his form of address.

Luo Zhao simply smiled and didn't correct him, but instead asked, "You've already mastered the Moon Shadow Slash, how's your Spirit Void Step technique coming along?"

"I've reached level seven," Ji Ming replied, taking a deep breath.

Luo Zhao nodded, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, but simply tapped the virtual bracelet to project a light screen.

"Take a look at this!"

Ji Ming curiously leaned closer; there were only two very simple lines of description on it.

[Nine Luminaries Mystic Heaven Blade Scripture: Top-tier Heavenly Grade! The number one blade technique below the fourth rank! The Qi of Heaven and Earth, the Limitless Nine Luminaries, the overlord of blades!]

"Hiss~"

Ji Ming held his breath. A top-tier Heavenly Rank sword technique?!

"This...can I learn it?" he asked, his throat dry.

"sure!"

Luo Zhao smiled and nodded, "Among this year's students, only you can do it; others can't learn it even if they wanted to."

Why?

Ji Ming frowned; he didn't think he was that special.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he looked at the description of the Nine Luminaries Profound Heaven Blade Scripture again, "Is it because of the Qian Tian One Qi Technique?"
