If I let you practice martial arts, you'll compress your vital energy ten thousand times?

the next day.

Nine o'clock in the morning.

The playground of Gaowu No.1 Middle School.

The entire parade ground was sealed off by the military.

A silver-white trial tower, nearly 100 meters tall, stands quietly in the center of the playground.

On the tower, blue and white energy patterns flowed slowly, like sleeping giant thunder pythons.

The Dragon Gate Trial Tower.

The equipment at Longyuan Academy is specifically used to review applications from students admitted through special recommendation programs.

An ordinary student might never have the chance to see it even once in their entire life.

Available today.

It was transported to the Seventh Security Zone.

It was transported to Gaowu No.1 Middle School.

Just to review one person's case.

Lin Yuan.

The playground was packed with students.

military.

The Celestial Patrol Division.

Longyuan Academy.

Central Royal Observer Luo Xingshuang.

Seventh Army Commander-in-Chief Su Zhan.

Everyone has arrived.

Countless eyes were fixed on the figure in the waiting area.

Lin Yuan was wearing a faded old school uniform.

Hands in pockets.

His expression was calm.

It's as if he's not the one who's going to be publicly reviewed by the whole school today.

Zhao Hai stood to the side, his forehead covered in sweat from nervousness.

"Brother Yuan."

"Aren't you worried?"

Lin Yuan looked at the Dragon Gate Tower.

"What's the panic?"

Zhao Hai's lips twitched.

"This is a retrial at Lungmen."

"The Sky Patrol Bureau, Dragon Abyss Academy, and the military have all arrived."

"The whole school is watching."

"If I were to go up there, my legs would go weak."

Lin Yuan said calmly:

"So you are not me."

Zhao Hai: "..."

far away.

Su Qinghan looked at Lin Yuan, a complex feeling rising in her heart.

The entire playground was tense for him.

But he himself remained as calm as if he were waiting for lunch.

This calm is highly abnormal.

Luo Xingshuang was also looking at Lin Yuan.

In her eyes, Lin Yuan was still just the disciple protected by that senior blood-stained elder.

But the more she felt this way, the more dangerous Gu Changye's retrial today seemed.

That senior colleague was too protective of his own.

Gu Changye stood beside the retrial table, his face still bearing a gentle smile.

He looked at Lin Yuan.

The calmer Lin Yuan was, the more interested he became in his eyes.

An ordinary student shouldn't act like this.

Even if someone has a powerful protector behind them, they shouldn't remain completely unmoved in such a situation.

Just then.

In the seats of Longyuan Academy, a young man dressed in dark blue battle armor slowly stood up.

Han Zhaoye.

A genius from the outer academy of Longyuan Academy.

Twenty years old.

Early stage of Xuanhai realm.

He walked up to Lin Yuan, looked him up and down, and smiled faintly.

"First level of Qi and Blood Realm".

"Old school uniform".

"No fluctuation of true energy."

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that Longyuan Academy would actually use the Longmen Tower for a retrial for someone like you."

As soon as those words were spoken, the area around the playground instantly became much quieter.

In the past, people would have laughed along with him.

But now, no one dares to laugh.

Because behind Lin Yuan stood that senior with the bloodstained face.

Han Zhaoye frowned slightly when he saw that Lin Yuan remained silent.

"Lin Yuan".

"What do you have left after leaving your master?"

Lin Yuan finally looked up.

He looked at Han Zhaoye, his tone calm.

"You're the only one who doesn't dare to make a move."

boom!

The entire playground suddenly fell silent.

Han Zhaoye's expression changed slightly.

These words felt like a slap in the face.

He is at the early stage of the Profound Sea Realm.

He is a genius from the outer academy of Longyuan Academy.

But would he dare to lay a hand on Lin Yuan?

dare not.

Xiao Chen moved.

died.

The heavens stirred.

He died too.

The Earth-Splitting Rock Dragon has awakened.

He still died.

Who can guarantee that their actions won't attract the attention of that Bloodthirsty Senior?

Han Zhaoye stared intently at Lin Yuan.

"I hope you'll still be this stubborn once we're inside the Dragon Gate Tower."

Lin Yuan said calmly:

"I hope you can still stand and talk later."

Han Zhaoye's face turned completely cold.

Gu Changye watched from the side, smiling without saying a word.

interesting.

That's so interesting.

soon.

The first level has begun.

Blood and Qi testing.

Lin Yuan walked into the detection array.

Blue and white light rose from his feet, enveloping his entire body.

All eyes were fixed on the enormous energy light screen.

After a few breaths.

The test results are now available.

Blood and Qi activity: Low.

True Qi fluctuation: None.

Dantian (lower abdomen) and Qi Sea (lower abdomen): Not yet opened.

Martial arts realm determination: Qi and Blood Realm Level 1.

Special physical condition reaction: Not detected.

final conclusion:

Qi and Blood Realm, Level 1.

The playground erupted in chaos.

"Still at the first level of the Qi and Blood Realm?"

"Why would someone like that get an S-level guaranteed admission?"

"Is it really all thanks to Master?"

A cold smile appeared on Han Zhaoye's lips.

"really."

"Waste is waste."

Lin Yuan stepped out of the detection array, his expression unchanged.

Gu Changye looked at the test results, his eyes narrowing slightly.

normal.

It's normal again.

Every test came back normal.

But things never went as planned.

That's the biggest problem.

Instructor Longyuan quickly announced the second item.

"Martial Arts Source Energy Pressure Test"

"The immense pressure of the Dragon Gate Tower is not due to natural gravity, but rather a martial arts pressure environment simulated by the source energy array."

"It will simultaneously compress the martial artist's blood and qi, bones, muscles, true qi circulation, and source energy adaptability."

"For ordinary Qi and Blood Realm cultivators, ten times is already the limit."

"At the Qi Gathering Realm, one can withstand fifty to one hundred times the normal force."

"Only those at the Profound Sea Realm are qualified to challenge opponents with a strength of over three hundred times."

"As for five hundred times."

The mentor glanced at Lin Yuan.

Even those at the Profound Sea Realm must proceed with caution.

The entire room fell silent once again.

Qi and Blood Realm, Level 1.

Ten times is the limit.

If Lin Yuan goes in, wouldn't he immediately collapse?

Han Zhaoye sneered:

"Lin Yuan".

"You can still back out now."

"The immense pressure of the Lungmen Tower cannot be withstood by mere words."

Lin Yuan ignored him.

He stepped into the pressure chamber.

A transparent energy barrier is raised.

Lin Yuan stood in the center of the pressure chamber.

It felt like stepping into an ordinary classroom, not a tower.

Instructor Longyuan took a deep breath.

"Test begins."

Om-!

The first wave of pressure has arrived.

ten times.

Lin Yuan didn't move.

Fifty times.

The hem of her clothes drooped slightly.

One hundred times.

boom!

A low thud came from the ground.

The metal floor beneath Lin Yuan's feet was slightly concave.

His old school uniform was pressed tightly against his body.

But the person was still standing.

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

Han Zhaoye frowned.

"continue."

Two hundred times.

The air inside the pressure chamber was visibly distorted.

Lin Yuan's shoulders slumped slightly.

But that's all.

He didn't even use any internal energy.

Han Zhaoye's face turned ugly.

Gu Changye's gaze deepened.

Three hundred times.

Click!

The ground beneath Lin Yuan's feet cracked with spiderweb-like patterns.

His body seemed to be lowered for a moment.

But the next moment, he stood up straight again.

His hands remained in his pockets.

Han Zhaoye finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"impossible!"

"At the first level of the Qi and Blood Realm, what gives you the right to stand under three hundred times the pressure?"

He suddenly looked at Gu Changye.

"Increase it to five hundred times!"

Instructor Longyuan's expression changed slightly.

"Five hundred times is already the standard for pressure resistance in the Profound Sea Realm."

Han Zhaoye said coldly:

"open."

Gu Changye nodded gently.

next moment.

The second level of the Dragon Gate Tower shone brightly.

Five hundred times the source energy pressure.

boom--!!!!!!

The entire floor of the pressure chamber suddenly sank downwards.

The circular area beneath Lin Yuan's feet collapsed, creating a dent.

His cuff was torn open by the pressure, leaving a small tear.

His shoulders were also slightly lowered.

But he remained standing.

The entire playground of Gaowu No.1 Middle School was completely silent.

Everyone had only one thought in their minds.

On what grounds?

How can someone at the first level of the Qi and Blood Realm stand under the pressure of five hundred times the source energy?

Han Zhaoye seemed to have finally seized the opportunity and sneered:

"absurd!"

"A mere first-level Qi and Blood Realm cultivator could never withstand five hundred times the force!"

"This is not his own power!"

Just then.

An anomaly warning suddenly appeared on the detection light screen of the Longmen Tower.

External pressure fluctuations were detected.

Traces of the Crimson Lotus attribute protective power were detected.

A high-level protective mark has been activated.

On the projected screen.

Below Lin Yuan's collar, a faint red lotus fire pattern flashed and disappeared.

Instructor Longyuan's expression changed.

"External protective mark!"

"Someone left a high-level pressure-resistant protective mark on him!"

boom!

The entire audience instantly understood.

It turned out to be the case.

It wasn't Lin Yuan who withstood the five hundred times the pressure on his own.

Rather, it was the protective mark left by the Blood Elder that was activated!

Luo Xingshuang's eyes flickered slightly.

really.

The senior could not allow Lin Yuan to undergo a retrial without being prepared.

Su Zhan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Hai immediately straightened his back.

"I knew it!"

"Brother Yuan has his master's protection!"

Han Zhaoye's face turned extremely ugly.

He had just questioned why Lin Yuan was allowed to stand.

As it turned out, Lungmen Tower provided the answer itself.

Protective mark.

A high-level protective mark from the Blood Elder.

This explanation makes perfect sense.

It was so reasonable that he couldn't refute it.

But he was still not satisfied.

"What kind of skill is it to rely on your master to protect your seal?"

Han Zhaoye said coldly.

Inside the high-pressure chamber.

Lin Yuan slowly raised his head and looked at him.

"You can also ask your master to leave one for you."

Han Zhaoye's face stiffened.

Lin Yuan continued:

"If not."

"You can come in by yourself."

boom!

All eyes immediately fell on Han Zhaoye.

Han Zhaoye was caught in a dilemma.

He gritted his teeth, turned around, and walked into the adjacent control chamber.

"Open at two hundred times the speed."

Om-!

It was subjected to two hundred times the pressure.

Han Zhaoye's body sank slightly, but he quickly regained his balance.

He was, after all, only at the early stage of the Profound Sea Realm.

Two hundred times, and it can still hold up.

He sneered:

"Did you see that?"

"This is true power."

Lin Yuan remained silent.

Just looking at him.

That calm look in his eyes inexplicably irritated Han Zhaoye.

"Increase it to three hundred times!"

boom!

Three hundred times the source energy pressure fell.

Han Zhaoye's face suddenly turned pale.

The ground beneath my feet has sunken.

My legs are trembling violently.

The internal energy within his body circulated wildly.

But it took less than three breaths.

click!

His knees buckled suddenly.

He knelt on one knee on the ground!

The entire room fell silent.

Han Zhaoye knelt down.

A genius from the outer academy of Longyuan Academy.

Early stage of Xuanhai realm.

Under pressure three hundred times greater than normal, he knelt down.

On the other side...

Lin Yuan was still standing under the pressure of five hundred times the source energy.

Hands in pockets.

The red lotus protective mark beneath the collar was faintly visible.

Lin Yuan looked down at Han Zhaoye and asked calmly:

"Want to add more?"

this sentence.

It was like an invisible slap that landed hard on Han Zhaoye's face.

Han Zhaoye's face flushed red, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Nobody knows.

The so-called Crimson Lotus Protective Seal was not left behind by any senior bloodline expert at all.

It was something Lin Yuan himself had created in disguise.

Inside the high-pressure chamber.

Lin Yuan lowered his eyes.

The system notification flashed before my eyes.

High-purity gantry energy detected.

[A source energy pressure structure was detected]

[Ultimate Dragon Bone compatibility in progress]

[Physical compression of Qi and blood is underway]

[Current number of physical compressions of Qi and Blood: 350300]

[Current number of physical compressions of Qi and Blood: 350600]

[Current number of physical compressions of Qi and Blood: 350900]

The pressure from the energy source continued to fall.

Outsiders believed it was suppressing Lin Yuan.

In reality, it is being swallowed up by Lin Yuan little by little.

For ordinary martial artists, the Dragon Gate Tower is a test.

For Lin Yuan.

This is feeding.

Inside the back-end control room.

Gu Changye stared at the energy reserve curve and fell silent for the first time.

A Dragon Abyss instructor whispered:

"Investigator Gu, the energy consumption is abnormal."

"reason?"

"Test results show that the external protective imprint is intervening in the pressure resistance."

"Our initial assessment is that the Crimson Lotus Seal on Lin Yuan's body is too strong. The Dragon Gate Tower is fighting against the seal, causing additional losses."

That makes perfect sense.

The senior left a protective mark before the blood.

The protective seal helped Lin Yuan withstand five hundred times the pressure.

To maintain the immense pressure, the energy consumption of the Lungmen Tower naturally surged.

All conclusions point to this answer.

But as Gu Changye looked at the rapidly declining energy reserve curve, an extremely absurd idea suddenly popped into his head.

He is not under pressure.

He was swallowing a heavy burden.

next second.

Gu Changye himself found the idea ridiculous.

How could a student at the first level of the Qi and Blood Realm possibly swallow the source energy of the Dragon Gate Tower?

But just then...

In the projection screen.

Lin Yuan, who was in the oppressive room, suddenly looked up slowly.

His gaze pierced through the energy barrier.

Pass through the monitoring array.

Look precisely in the direction of the control room.

Those eyes were as calm as if they were watching a boring game.

It's as if it's saying something silently:

carry on.

Don't stop.

Gu Changye's fingers paused slightly.

After a while.

He smiled.

"interesting."

"Continue testing."
