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

Ji Ming was heading to Luo Zhao's house. Now that he had broken through, he should at least give Master Luo some good news.

But before he could reach it, everything suddenly went black as a powerful hand grabbed him. Ji Ming was startled and began to struggle desperately.

"Don't move, it's me!"

A familiar voice rang in his ears, and Ji Ming paused, then relaxed.

A moment later, a large hand put him down. The surroundings were now silent. Ji Ming looked around and realized that this was a desolate mountain behind the school.

"Master Luo, what's wrong?"

He looked at Luo Zhao and asked, puzzled.

The latter ignored him, scratched him again, and muttered to himself, "Only one celestial vein has been opened, and the life strength is about level 14.0..."

"Haha, okay, okay!"

Luo Zhao burst into laughter, unable to hide the joy on his face.

Fang Yuan also arrived at this time. He only needed to use his spiritual power to scan and he understood Ji Ming's situation.

"He really broke through the shackles of life and advanced to the Jade Purity Realm, how is that possible?" Fang Yuan found it hard to believe.

"Good, not bad!"

Luo Zhao quickly calmed down and didn't ask anything. He simply praised, "To have walked the path from mortal to god at such a young age, you are a top genius in the entire Xia Kingdom. There are very few people stronger than you."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ming raised an eyebrow. "There's someone who can surpass me?"

He felt incredibly powerful right now!

Luo Zhao smiled and said, "You have indeed reached your peak in terms of potential. At most, there are people who are on par with you, but you are lacking in strength. Those who grew up immersed in the spiritual liquid of heaven and earth will naturally be several levels above you in terms of cultivation."

"But it's okay, you'll catch up eventually!"

Ji Ming nodded. He had only awakened his identity card for a little over two months and had already laid such a solid foundation. His progress would only accelerate in the future.

Fang Yuan remained silent, his expression incredibly complex. Was Brother Luo comparing Ji Ming to those people?

You have to understand that those people's destined professions were already determined before they were even born. Their elders even had ways to make them undergo some basic training in advance. Those people's actual training time was much longer than Ji Ming's. How could he catch up so easily?

However, this kid's potential is truly amazing; who can predict what the future holds?

Luo Zhao looked at Ji Ming and suddenly sighed, "I didn't expect you to break through so quickly. Some things I did were unnecessary!"

Ji Ming tilted his head. What did that mean?

Fang Yuan quickly interjected, "Brother Luo, Ji can enter the Star Palace on his own now, you don't need to trouble Master Leng anymore!"

"Don't worry, I've already kept those two little brats in check. Just give the order, and I'll send them packing!"

He looked at Ji Ming with immense relief. What a breakthrough! As long as Brother Luo doesn't owe him this favor, I should have a way out once my sister comes out of seclusion... right?

Luo Zhao gazed wistfully into the distance, lost in thought, before finally sighing, "Alas, Ji Ming, you should make the decision yourself!"

After saying that, he touched Ji Ming's forehead with his fingertip and transmitted all the information about the matter to him.

After a moment, Ji Ming finally came to his senses and bowed gratefully, saying, "Master Luo, thank you for your trouble."

Luo Zhao waved his hand.

"It's nothing serious!"

Ji Ming remained silent. Although he knew that Luo Zhao had an extraordinary background, he did not know that his methods were so powerful that most people would not even dare to dream of entering the Star Palace through back channels.

He didn't say anything more, but kept it all in his heart, knowing that he would repay the debt someday.

"Young Ji, Master Leng's Haojian School belongs to the Immortal Dao system, which is completely unrelated to you. Although the direct recruitment quota involves a lot of resource allocation, you will have a hard time getting access to the sect's treasure manuals in the Martial Dao system," Fang Yuan interjected from the side.

"The Haojian School?" Ji Ming muttered to himself.

"Hmm!" Fang Yuan nodded.

"Tianyi Star Palace is far more complex than you think. Each profession forms its own major system, and each system is further divided into several schools. The martial arts system of Tianyi Star Palace is the strongest, while the immortal system is only so-so. If you ask me, you don't need to use any back channels at all. With your current strength, passing the Star Realm Grand Examination is a sure thing!"

Luo Zhao remained silent because what Fang Yuan said was true. His original intention was to first enter Tianyi Star Palace and then figure out the rest later. Now he realized that his consideration was flawed. Once the Haojian School was marked, it would be extremely difficult to be accepted by other martial arts schools, and his face would be useless.

"Fang Yuan is right. Given your current situation, the best path is still the Star Realm Examination. Although the resource allocation may not be as good as the direct recruitment quota, the opportunities are far greater than joining the Haojian School," Luo Zhao pondered.

Ji Ming understood. Of course, Master Luo meant well. Given his insufficient strength, entering Tianyi Star Palace by any means was better than entering the academy's sacred ground!

"Alright, please help me refuse Senior Leng!"

Ji Ming bowed respectfully. Of course, it would be better to enter the Star Palace on his own merits, and there are other ways to compete for resources.

"good!"

Fang Yuan was overjoyed, feeling that his life was saved again. The more he looked at Ji Ming, the more pleasing he became, and he immediately tapped Ji Ming's brow.

"Young Ji, here's some information about the Azure Profound Realm. This realm is definitely not simple; it might even contain ancient inheritances. It all depends on whether you have the right fate to possess it."

Comprehension of the information in his mind, Ji Ming expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Uncle Fang, I understand."

As soon as Ji Ming left, Fang Yuan said impatiently, "I'll get those two little brats out of here right away."

"etc!"

Luo Zhao raised his hand to stop them, "Since they're here, we can't let them go back empty-handed. Let's talk to the people in Yuhui City and let the Shangguan family's little girl go in and take a look!"

"Well……"

Although somewhat reluctant, Fang Yuan thought it made sense and could only nod with a regretful expression.

"By the way, Brother Luo, should I hide Ji's information?" Fang Yuan asked.

Luo Zhao waved his hand decisively, "No need!"

"The geniuses of my Xia Kingdom need not hide; they should walk in the sunlight!"

"Besides, Ji Ming has already begun the fifth step of ascending to godhood; the information must already be on that person's desk. No underhanded methods will be able to succeed!"

Fang Yuan nodded. That was indeed the case. With their protection in Baichuan City, they were even safer at Tianyi Star Palace. As for going to the Battlefield of Myriad Realms in the future, there would naturally be other means of protection.

When Fang Yuan mentioned "that person," a hint of envy flashed in his eyes. He hadn't dared to walk the path to godhood when he was young, and that was a missed opportunity forever.

Of course, he didn't regret it. He wasn't a genius. He was able to get to where he is today not only because of his own efforts but also because he was luckier than others. If he had taken the path to godhood, he might still be stuck in the lower three realms!

"Okay, then I'll go and have a talk with that old guy in Yuhui City."

Fang Yuan left feeling relieved.

Luo Zhao remained in the same spot, his expression shifting several times before finally becoming discouraged.

"Sigh, it's too early, let's wait a bit longer!"
