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

No. 1 Middle School Office

Liu Shuo looked at the teaching assistant who came to report with a furrowed brow, and his good mood of the past few days completely dissipated.

"What did you say? Ji Ming hasn't broken through to the Jade Purity Realm yet?"

He couldn't believe it; how could a level 7 Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong possibly fail to break through?

Liu Shuo was completely baffled. Could it be that Ji Ming was afraid of facing a bottleneck?

It's true that many people shrink back when faced with the pressure of breaking through to a higher realm, but he saw that Ji Ming's heart for martial arts was quite firm, so he shouldn't be that kind of person!

In Liu Shuo's view, the breakthroughs of all the students in the class recently are not as important as Ji Ming's breakthrough alone. This is not because he is biased or treats them differently, but because these people are far too weak in martial arts skills and have no hope of being admitted to the Holy Land.

"What should we do?"

Liu Shuo hesitated, which was unusual for him. He wanted to talk to Ji Ming, but he was afraid that adding more pressure to him would have the opposite effect.

"Liu Shuo, the students have their own ideas. We can only guide them, not make decisions for them. Do you understand?"

Just as he was about to get up, Gu Tiannian suddenly appeared in the office.

Seeing that the other person was grasping at a straw, Liu Shuo asked, "Old Gu, what should we do now?"

"What do you mean, 'what should we do'? It's just a secret realm, what's the point of giving up?" Gu Tiannian scolded angrily, blowing his beard.

Liu Shuo was extremely frustrated. "You make it sound so easy. If Ji Ming could gain something in that Qingxuan Secret Realm, he might actually be able to enter the Star Palace. Plus, Gu Yi also has a chance this year. If he could produce two Star Palace students under his command, he would be laughing in his dreams and would have the confidence to brag to his former comrades."

"Ugh!"

However, he also knew that what Elder Gu said made sense. The path of martial arts ultimately had to be walked by oneself. There was no use in urging him; on the contrary, it might ruin a talented person.

"Oh well, never mind!"

Liu Shuo sat down with a dejected look on his face.

Gu Tiannian stood silently to the side, tugging at his beard. He didn't know what Ji Ming was thinking, but given his increasingly close relationship with Luo Zhao, the other party couldn't possibly ignore it.

The only reason he stopped Liu Shuo was because he trusted Luo Zhao.

"Let's hope you don't let us down, little one!"

Gu Tiannian muttered to himself, "The conditions in Baichuan City are incomparable to those of the major core cities. Ji Ming has already fallen far behind. Just as Liu Shuo thought, he also believes that the Qingxuan Secret Realm might be an opportunity."

If Ji Ming wants to get into the Star Palace, he must compete with those who were born with a silver spoon in their mouth!

……

Tiger Might Army Chen Mansion

"General, I have learned that Ji Ming appeared at No. 1 Middle School today, but his cultivation level is still at the Mortal Realm," strategist Wang reported.

Chen Zhengfang tapped the table, muttering to himself, "How is this possible?"

The last time he met Ji Ming, the other party had already reached the peak of the mortal realm. According to his estimation, he should have been able to break through long ago. How could he have remained unchanged for more than a month?

Is it really because we're stuck in a bottleneck?

Chen Zhengfang felt a sudden surge of irritation for no apparent reason. Although he had hoped to build a good relationship with Mayor Fang Yuan by investing in Ji Ming, the prospect of losing everything this time was still quite embarrassing for him.

"I misjudged it!"

He sighed inwardly. Without breaking through to the Jade Purity Realm, he could only attend an academy, which was not worth his attention at all. Based on his knowledge, he did not think it was possible that he deliberately did not break through. It could only mean that he was stuck in a bottleneck and could not break through.

"That's true. After all, it's only an intermediate-level talent. How easy is it to break through the shackles of one's innate abilities?"

Without innate talents, humans are inherently no match for powerful races like the Heavenly Demons and the Abyss. Human potential is ultimately limited!

Thinking of this, Chen Zhengfang became somewhat disheartened and waved his hand, signaling strategist Wang to step down.

……

"That's right, how can a mere intermediate-level talent compare to those advanced or extraordinary talents?"

"I think that monthly exam result was just luck!"

"It's pathetic and lamentable that such a mediocre person has enjoyed most of the resources!"

"No way! I won't accept this!"

He remained stuck in the mortal realm, and as more and more people surpassed him, his outstanding performance in the last monthly exam finally backfired.

A group of people were gathered together, with an arrogant young man with dyed yellow hair in the middle. They were passionately condemning Ji Ming.

"Brother Jin, you are the number one person besides those five extraordinary talents. Why should Ji Ming take your place? He should share some of his cultivation resources with you!"

"That's right, intermediate talent is just intermediate talent; it can never compare to top-tier advanced talent like yours in a lifetime!"

The people around him waved their hands in righteous indignation. Before Jin Yuanwu could say anything, the door to the martial arts training room, which had been the focus of everyone's attention, suddenly opened.

The venue fell into an astonishing silence.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Seeing a large group of people in front of the door, Ji Ming frowned and asked.

The next moment, everyone looked at Jin Yuanwu.

Ji Ming looked at the blond-haired boy. "What do you need?"

Jin Yuanwu's noodles trembled, and he waved his hands repeatedly, "It's alright, it's alright, Ji, please go ahead!"

As he spoke, he stepped aside, and Ji Ming glanced at him before leaving.

"Brother Jin...you?"

The henchmen around him asked in hushed tones.

Jin Yuanwu was somewhat embarrassed. "Hmph, what's the rush? He'll naturally reveal his true colors in a couple of days!"

He tilted his head back, seemingly trying to regain his confidence. He was feeling very uneasy. He couldn't possibly say that he, a Jade Purity Realm cultivator, was afraid of a Mortal Realm cultivator, could he?

and also……

Jin Yuanwu caught a glimpse of the fleeting disappointment on his underlings' faces and sneered inwardly, thinking, "These guys seem to be getting quite close to the other people who recently broke through."

Do you want me to be the one to stick my neck out?

no way!

That's right, I'm definitely not afraid of Ji Ming!

……

Ji Ming walked down the road with his head down, ignoring the stares of others, but he was actually quite troubled.

Why was that blond guy so cowardly?

Having just broken through to the first level of Jade Purity, he was truly unafraid now, intending to use it to establish his authority. Unfortunately, the blond-haired man was afraid.

He can't just go up and beat someone up if they don't provoke him, he's not some kind of villain!

Sigh, they're all smart people, how come they're even more cautious than me? Novels are all lies, not a single one of them is actually sarcastic!

Ji Ming sighed. Forget it, giving you all a chance is useless. He really wants to try whether he can reverse the Jade Purity Realm!

As for letting him cause trouble on his own initiative, let's just forget about it.

On the way, we met Gu Yi.

The other person walked over with a complicated expression, patted him on the shoulder, and left without saying a word.

baffling!

Ji Ming shook his head inwardly, but didn't think much of it and continued walking towards Master Luo's house.

Gu Yi turned around, his heart heavy. It still wasn't working. Another opponent was gone!

However, Ji Ming's efforts at the Red Moon Dojo have earned his recognition, which has led him to add two more battles to his daily schedule.

This guy is so frivolous!

When they arrived at Master Luo's courtyard, Fang Yuan was there.

Upon seeing him, the other person laughed and said, "Have you heard the rumors lately? You still insist on taking the path to godhood? You'll face even more scrutiny once you enter the Martial Arts University!"

Ji Ming shook his head, looking completely at ease. "You're joking. What do other people's praise or criticism have to do with me?"

"good!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan looked at him with even greater respect. He could tell that Ji Ming wasn't just saying it; he genuinely didn't take the rumors to heart, which was quite remarkable.

"Master Luo, I'm going!"

After bowing, Ji Ming walked toward the study as usual. Luo Zhao simply nodded. He knew Ji Ming better and was not worried about his condition at all.

It's only been a month. In his opinion, Ji Ming is still far from mastering the heart of heaven and earth. If he can't stand it now, what will he do in the future?
