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

"cough!"

Ji Ming choked, glanced at the "sleeping" Chen Jun with pity, and then exclaimed in surprise, "Just what level of strength does he possess?"

Poor child, I hope he doesn't suffer any psychological trauma!

But I'm afraid it'll be difficult. Falling from the clouds to the bottom, ha...

Who knows?

Song Zhirou remained calm, saying, "He hasn't used his full strength in a long time, so there must be something hidden in the life test."

"Tsk!"

Ji Ming nodded. That's true. Since no one can challenge him anyway, why go all out?

Therefore, Gu Yi's realm may not be as simple as the second level of Jade Uncarved Stone.

"What is his talent? Do you know?"

Ji Ming looked at Song Zhirou, thinking that she might know some inside information given her status.

To everyone's surprise, the latter shook his head and said, "Don't ask me, I don't know more than you do."

"but……"

Song Zhirou paused for a moment, "I guessed that he should have a high-level extraordinary talent, and seeing him today has made me even more certain. Perhaps he also has the advantage of speed, otherwise Chen Jun wouldn't have had no chance to react."

"Ascending to the highest level?"

Ji Ming was stunned. There was a distinction between extraordinary talents?

Song Zhirou explained, "When talents reach the extraordinary level, the gap between them is huge, even greater than the gap between the initial and advanced levels. Therefore, the extraordinary and saintly levels are further subdivided into upper and lower ranks."

"Ninety percent of extraordinary talents are of the lower level, including myself, Chen Jun, and Lu Kewen. Gu Yi, however, might be one of those rare, high-level extraordinary talents!"

Ji Ming stroked his chin and nodded. "I see," he said. "Thank you!"

He then left directly and entered his private training room.

As Song Zhirou watched Ji Ming's retreating figure, there was something she didn't say: gaining the approval of Mayor Fang and Instructor Luo was even more difficult than achieving the extraordinary talent!

Recalling the time her grandfather took her to visit him, she didn't know what connection her grandfather had with that teacher, Mr. Luo. In any case, she was rejected.

At the time, Coach Luo only left one sentence: "Excellent enough, but a miracle won't happen!"

"Do you...possess any miracles?"

Song Zhirou murmured, her eyes becoming hazy. She wasn't one to enjoy fighting, so she didn't feel angry. She was just curious and wanted to see how far Ji Ming could go.

If I don't end up as good as her... just thinking about it makes me a little excited!

……

"Ahem!"

Chen Jun's underlings eventually ran onto the stage and woke him up. The moment he regained consciousness, his face turned bright red, and his heart bled.

one move!

He really couldn't even withstand a single move from Gu Yi!

Am I really that weak?

He asked himself a question and fell into a state of confusion.

"Chen Jun!"

Upon hearing the news, Liu Shuo rushed over and startled him awake with a stern shout.

"What are you sitting there for? Get up! What are you thinking about? Can't you handle losing?"

Liu Shuo launched a barrage of four deadly questions, leaving Chen Jun speechless.

"Teacher...I..."

Chen Jun raised his head, then lowered it again dejectedly.

Liu Shuo frowned. "Give up after just one loss?"

"Don't worry, I won't comfort you. There are countless people in the entire Xia Kingdom who are stronger than you at the same age, and quite a few who are stronger than Gu Yi. Do you have to act like this every time you lose? People who can't accept defeat are destined not to go far. I'm too lazy to waste my breath!"

"Teacher, I..." Chen Jun said weakly.

I don't!

I was just... stunned by the beating!

Do I really have to say this out loud? How am I supposed to live?

Seeing Liu Shuo about to launch into another tirade, Chen Jun jumped up in a flash, "Teacher, please stop! I'm going back to recover!"

Hmm, never mind, let's put Gu Yi aside for now, as long as I'm better than Ji Ming, that's fine.

No, no, that's too narrow-minded. What am I even comparing myself to Ji Ming for?

I, Chen Jun, am now the number one person under Gu Yi!

……

Shirakawa Chen Family

This is the residence of Chen Zhengfang, the commander of the Tiger Might Army. As a powerful fourth-level Golden Core cultivator who commands three thousand soldiers and dominates the three cities of Hanyue, his residence is quite impressive.

Two large stone lions made of star and moon stone stand in front of the vermilion gate. The ground is paved with white jade and carved with unique patterns that gather the primordial energy of heaven and earth. Deep in the courtyard, clouds and mist swirl around, and exotic flowers and rare herbs grow. It is a magnificent scene of immortals!

In the Narrative Hall

Chen Zhengfang sat upright in the main seat, with a scholar-man holding a feather fan bowing below him.

"General, here is all the information you requested about Shirakawa Ichichū Kimiaki."

The man handed over a scroll, which Chen Zhengfang took. He then raised his right hand and said, "Military Advisor Wang, please take a seat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a maid led the scholar to his seat and served him tea.

Chen Zhengfang took the scroll, unfolded it, and frowned more and more deeply.

"Intermediate talent, and he's actually reached this level?"

"That's right! According to our investigation, this boy has already cultivated the Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong to a high level, and the probability of breaking through to the Jade Uncarved Realm is as high as 80 or 90%. He has already secured a spot in the Holy Land. Even the military strategists have analyzed that he might have a slight chance of being admitted to the Star Palace!" Strategist Wang replied.

Chen Zhengfang grew increasingly serious. If he could add the help of Mayor Fang and those two mysterious figures, his chances of being admitted to the Star Palace would probably be even greater!

Indeed, how could one attract the attention of such a powerful figure without any ability?

Chen Zhengfang looked thoughtful. He had already checked, and the two people seemed to have appeared out of thin air; there was absolutely no information about them.

That's truly terrifying. Luo Zhao is one thing, but Fang Yuan, as the mayor in charge of a city, couldn't find any publicly available information about him. The power hidden behind this is simply astonishing.

After a long while, he sighed.

Sigh, he's been staying in this small place for too long, far from the core of Xia Kingdom. He doesn't have enough authority, so he can hardly know about the slightest thing. That old man Gu Tiannian seems to know something, but he likes to play dumb, so you can't get anything useful out of him.

Chen Zhengfang turned his gaze back to the documents in his hand. He didn't need to think about the other two, but he might be able to get closer to this one. After all, he was a promising candidate, and it would be amazing if he actually passed the Star Palace exam!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but chuckle, knowing that the possibility was extremely low. Shirakawa City hadn't produced such a person for a very long time. In his eyes, Gu Yi, who was currently at the height of his power, was indeed extraordinary, but to say that he wanted to enter the Star Palace?

Even if you break through the Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong, you still have to rely on luck!

Flipping through the documents, Chen Zhengfang reviewed Ji Ming's entire learning experience and exclaimed again, "Intermediate talent! Incredible!"

First of all, there is absolutely no problem with Ji Ming. This could not have been hidden from Fang Yuan, a fifth-level expert. His rise to power must have been due to his own potential.

Chen Zhengfang suddenly remembered an old leader, a general he used to command in the front-line army. That general was said to have very poor innate talent, but he reached the peak through hard work. Such a person was truly admirable.

Although his innate talent is good, it does limit his path. At his level, he has already begun to feel uncomfortable. Unless you have a Saint-level talent, you still have to rely on yourself to become a top expert!

You're thinking too far ahead!

Chen Zhengfang snapped out of his reverie, frowned as he looked at the documents, and asked, "Has Jun'er had a conflict with him?"

Wang Junshi paused for a moment, then replied, "There must have been some petty squabbles at the beginning, right?"

"Say it more accurately!" Chen Zhengfang's voice turned serious.
