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

Seeing that one of his opponents was Gu Yi, Ji Ming became even more interested.

He then looked at his opponent, a second-tier water mage. When he cast his spell, the entire arena was filled with water vapor, which not only obstructed his vision but also concealed deadly intent. Water arrows were constantly being shot out from the mist, and the water vapor could also turn into ropes to bind his opponent!

Water mages are the most difficult opponents for low-level martial artists to deal with, bar none!

Because martial artists are never afraid of head-on confrontations, what they find most annoying is situations where they can't even find the person. A mage's attacks are extremely powerful, and a martial artist's body-refining techniques can't withstand more than a few blows.

Water mages also have a lot of control skills, so warriors can only take hits.

However, Gu Yi handled the situation with ease, his movements were unpredictable and ghostly, and all attacks were difficult to hit him. Helpless, the mage had to shrink the water mist domain, and the thick water element transformed into a giant hand to strike!

Ji Ming's expression was solemn. He could feel the power of this attack. This water mage was far stronger than Luke Wen from their school.

"boom!"

The water elemental hand crashed down with waves, creating a nearly ten-meter-high tidal wave. If it weren't for the energy barrier, this attack would have destroyed an entire building.

"Squeak—Bang!"

Suddenly, a sharp crackling sound came from Gu Yi's body, which was covered by the boundless waves. Silver lightning enveloped his entire body, and the electric sparks under his feet turned into propulsion engines, propelling his body out like an arrow of lightning!

"boom!"

The water elemental hand collided with the lightning, and the dense elemental energy seemed to evaporate, creating a hollow hole. Ultimately, it could not maintain its shape and crashed onto the arena.

"not good!"

The water mage's expression changed drastically. He couldn't believe that his carefully prepared attack had been broken head-on. He quickly dispelled the binding spell he had prepared, and his magic power surged wildly. A magic model array appeared under his feet, trying to pull him away again.

But it was too late!

Gu Yi, now transformed into lightning, moved with astonishing speed, arriving before the water mage in the blink of an eye, his lightning-wreathed fingers resting on the water mage's brow.

"I lost!"

The water mage forced a weak smile, his magic dissipated, and he surrendered.

"Whoosh!"

The spectators immediately erupted in excitement.

"Wow, am I seeing things? Old Li broke through to the fourth level of the second tier a few days ago, with a life strength exceeding 14.0, and he actually lost to a mere kid?"

"What kid? This is Gu Yi! A genius that only appears once every ten years in Shirakawa City!"

"Young people these days are truly remarkable!"

Ji Ming also frowned as he pondered the battle just now. He wasn't too surprised by Gu Yi's strength, after all, Gu Yi had been able to fight a puppet at the fourth level of the Jade Purity Realm for a long time.

Of course, the puppet only has the bottom strength of its current level and cannot compare to the human professional. This time, the victory over the second-level fourth-level water mage can only be said to be another improvement, or that the other party did not go all out during the school test.

The key point is that he saw some clues through this battle. Gu Yi's talent carries the lightning attribute, which can not only enhance speed but also strengthen the body. Moreover, his fast cultivation speed should also be related to his innate talent!

Ji Ming shook his head. He could only say that it was indeed a superior extraordinary talent. It was too strong. Even the power of the "Iron-Blooded Soul Shadow" that Chen Jun had suddenly developed could not compare to the basic form of others.

"Wow, that's impressive!"

Ji Ming sighed. He was still far behind. Even if he broke through to the Jade Purity Realm now, it would be difficult to catch up in a short time. Moreover, Gu Yi was already so strong. How terrifying must those Saint-level talent students in big cities be!

Compared to Gu Yi, his only advantage might be the Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong.

His resolve hardened further; he knew he had to take the "Path to Godhood," not only for his future prospects and the elusive God of War, but also for the sake of this college entrance examination.

He wants to catch up with the strength of this year's top-tier trainees, and now it seems that he can only pin his hopes on the "Path to Godhood".

Moreover, having been given a second chance at life, he would look down on himself if he didn't go and see the scenery at the pinnacle of martial arts!

"call!"

Having reaffirmed his resolve in the path of martial arts, Ji Ming felt a subtle change in his own will, so subtle that he wouldn't have noticed it if it weren't for his innate talent.

"Is the will to fight martial arts about to undergo a transformation?"

Ji Mingxin was as clear-headed as a mirror. He had struggled on the verge of collapse many times while cultivating the Star King Body. In addition, although the talent he had awakened was of low quality, it was still of some use. Unknowingly, he was about to reach the realm of martial will transformation.

Although we are still far from truly beginning our transformation, we have at least touched the threshold and laid a foundation, something that many martial artists crave their whole lives but never achieve!

"Heh, my talent for strong willpower has finally come in handy." Ji Ming chuckled, somewhat pleasantly surprised.

Of course, the transformation of martial will is not that simple. If he had not possessed the talent bestowed by the God of Martial Arts, he would not have been able to grasp that glimmer of inspiration at all, let alone gain any insight into it.

After defeating his opponent, Gu Yi stepped off the stage. His sharp eyes caught sight of Ji Ming in the blink of an eye, and he walked straight over to him.

"Tenth level of mortal form? Not bad!"

Gu Yi smiled, showing no airs whatsoever.

"You're the one who's really amazing!"

Ji Ming gave a thumbs up. After being classmates for about ten days, the two had become much more familiar with each other. He found that Gu Yi was not as aloof and sparing with words as rumored.

"Hurry up and break through, I'm waiting to fight you!"

Okay, he really is belligerent. It seems Gu Yi is even more anxious than he is, wishing he could break through tomorrow.

Moreover, he could tell that Gu Yi wasn't eager to suppress him and preserve his title as the number one genius in Baichuan, but simply wanted to fight him.

A year ago, when everyone's cultivation levels were similar, Gu Yi challenged all the famous students in the city, including Song Zhirou. This delicate young girl's face was swollen from being slapped!

Even now, Song Zhirou still harbors resentment and feels like biting this guy to death every time she sees him.

However, as time went on, Gu Yi went further and further away, and he hadn't actively challenged anyone from the school for a long time. Especially in recent months, since he went out to train, his title of "battle maniac" has gradually been forgotten.

Seeing Gu Yi's burning gaze, Ji Ming also felt a surge of fighting spirit.

"Alright, you won't have to wait much longer!"

"Um!"

Gu Yi nodded, his fighting spirit gradually cooling down. In his opinion, it was only natural for Ji Ming to break through to the Jade Purity Realm. The bigger the city he went, the more he could appreciate the overwhelming reputation of the Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong. He himself was still a little far from level 7.

After Ji Ming breaks through, he will suppress his cultivation level again, and then he will be able to put up a fight. Otherwise, he is too weak at the mortal realm, and if he makes a mistake, he may cause accidental injury.

"By the way, did you really come back this time for that secret realm?"

Ji Ming suddenly remembered the rumors circulating in the class and asked curiously.

"That's right!"

Gu Yi nodded decisively, "I spent the last two months training in Jade Radiance City. That secret realm is very famous and has already spread throughout the northeastern part of the East Sea Province."

"So many people have already been inside, how could there be anything good there?" Ji Ming frowned. According to his inquiries, there were no restrictions on entering that secret realm.

Gu Yi shook his head, his eyes filled with longing. "There may indeed be fewer rare and precious materials inside, but the most valuable thing inside isn't these external items. It's said that there might be an ancient martial arts inheritance within!"
