When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

Lu Pingyuan nodded.

"Have you ever wondered why school martial arts classes focus on honing your physical body, cultivating your qi and blood, and learning the most basic martial arts techniques from a young age, instead of introducing you to supernatural powers right from the start?"

"First, it's because your frail bodies simply can't withstand the backlash from supernatural powers!"

"Secondly, the greatest truths are the simplest! Any fancy or powerful supernatural ability can be destroyed as long as your inner energy is pure and sharp enough!"

Xiao Xingye listened intently, but still scratched his head in confusion: "Elder Lu, what exactly is this '罡气' you're talking about?"

Lu Pingyuan smiled slightly, without explaining directly, but slowly raised his right hand and extended his index and middle fingers.

"Watch closely."

Lu Pingyuan's two fingers suddenly clenched.

In an instant, the air seemed to be compressed wildly by an invisible force, and a white sword light that could be seen with the naked eye actually formed at the fingertips!

The sword light flickered erratically, even emitting a hissing sound as it cut through the air.

"This is the Ming Jin (明劲) technique."

"Powerful and outwardly displayed, domineering and fierce."

Immediately afterwards, the white sword light at Lu Pingyuan's fingertips gradually disappeared and became transparent.

But everyone inside the car felt an even stronger sense of sharpness than before!

"This is hidden strength."

"His power is concealed, killing without a trace."

The next second, the piercing sharpness completely disappeared.

Lu Pingyuan's fingertips blended into the surrounding air, like a spring breeze.

"This is the essence of Transformation."

"Anything can be used as a weapon, at will."

"And above that is the罡劲 (Gāngjìn)!"

Lu Pingyuan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and an unyielding aura of dominance erupted from his body.

"The '罡劲' (Gāngjìn) can fuse the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with one's own supernatural powers, possessing boundless power and being impervious to all attacks!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Pingyuan casually waved his hand towards a wasteland outside the car window.

"Splash!"

There was no dazzling light, no deafening explosion!

All the people saw was the ground a hundred meters away outside the car window crack open like tofu in an instant!

A terrifying ravine, tens of meters long, appeared on the wasteland!

This scene left everyone in the car stunned!

A mere wisp of qi, casually waved, yet it possesses such terrifying power?!

"If you can awaken your bloodline and then integrate it into the qi you have comprehended, its power will be even greater!"

Lu Pingyuan withdrew his finger and looked at the stunned crowd.

"Whether it's fist energy, sword energy, or palm energy, all can slay gods and destroy demons!"

"And it can be mastered through diligent practice!"

Jiang Feng subconsciously looked at his right fist.

Now his boxing skills have reached the level of "transformation into power".

Just one step away from mastering the Gang Jin!

……

One hour later.

The group arrived at the center of Jiangnan City.

Huang Zhen first escorted Lu Pingyuan to the spiritual energy therapy room, and then had the driver turn the car around and take Jiang Feng and his group to a magnificent building.

[World Tower]

Xiao Xingye looked up at the towering building that seemed to pierce the clouds and couldn't help but click his tongue.

At this moment, a number of young faces were gathered in the square in front of the building.

"Besides you, hundreds of elites selected from various cities in Jiangnan Province this year are also living here."

Huang Zhen got out of the car, looked at the group of energetic young people in front of him, and explained seriously, "I need to make things clear to you first."

"What you will be participating in five days is the [Tianjiao Martial Arts College Entrance Examination Special Session], which is different from the national unified examination that ordinary senior high school students participate in."

"Ordinary students are vying for the basic qualification to enter university."

"And simply by entering the examination hall, you have already received admission notices from the nation's top martial arts universities!"

"Since we've already guaranteed a minimum score, what's the point of taking the exam?"

Xiao Xingye asked curiously.

"The test is about resource allocation!"

"For this year's college entrance examination, admission advisors from the five major universities have all come to Jiangnan City."

"They will make a comprehensive assessment based on your demonstrated combat talent, practical skills, and potential."

"How many cultivation resources you get in your first year of university depends entirely on this evaluation!"

"The rating is divided into several levels, with the lowest being B and the highest being A."

"The highest rank is S-class?"

Xiao Xingye's eyes lit up, and he asked impatiently.

Huang Zhen nodded, a hint of emotion in his eyes: "That's right, the highest level is S-rank!"

"But the criteria for S-rank are extremely strict. In previous years, our Jiangnan Province often didn't produce an S-rank genius for several years..."

He paused for a moment, his gaze fixed intently on Jiang Feng, a smile playing on his lips.

"However, this year is different."

He didn't say anything more, but the expectation in his eyes was self-evident.

After explaining everything, Huang Zhen got into his car and left, as there was still a lot of work waiting for him at the Provincial Martial Arts Association.

"Brother Jiang Feng! Did Chairman Huang even need to repeat himself?"

"You're definitely going to be the first S-level recipient in Jiangnan Province this year!"

"Who among this group could possibly be your match?!"

Xiao Xingye's loud voice seemed particularly abrupt, instantly attracting the attention of many people around him.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, several mocking and sarcastic voices came from behind him.

"Ha, where did this country bumpkin come from?"

"Coming all the way to Jiangnan City to bark and howl, and they actually dare to dream of getting an S-level rating?"

"Sigh! These country bumpkins are really like frogs in a well!"

Seven or eight teenagers walked towards them.

The leader was a red-haired boy.

He casually put his hands in his pockets, his face was cold and stern, and his eyes showed a condescending disdain as he looked at Jiang Feng and the others.

Upon seeing the red-haired boy appear, the expressions of the surrounding crowd changed slightly, clearly recognizing his identity.

"Hiss... It's him?!"

"Who is it? Is it famous?"

"You don't even recognize him? That's Yan Jin, the eldest son of the Yan family in the provincial capital! A ruthless character ranked sixth on the Jiangnan Province's list of prodigies!"

"My God! He's actually a monster from the top ten of the Prodigy Ranking?!"

"I heard he recently broke through to the fifth rank, sixth star, and last month during his Abyss training, he and his team slew a sixth-tier beast!"

"That's right! In that battle, it was Yan Jin who dealt a severe blow to the sixth-tier beast!"

Hearing the exclamations and praises from those around him, the people behind Yan Jin all wore smug expressions, as if they were being praised.

Yan Jin walked over, gave Jiang Feng and the others a cold glance, and frowned in disgust: "I don't know what the authorities are thinking, sending all sorts of nobody to the provincial capital!"

"A bunch of country bumpkins can come to Jiangnan City to take the college entrance exam?!"

He slowly walked up the steps and looked down at Jiang Feng.

"Kid, your aura seems quite composed. You should be considered a genius in your small town, right?"

"hehe!"

"You might be considered a genius in a small county, but now that you've come to Jiangnan City, you should understand what it means to have heroes everywhere!"

At this point, Yan Jin leaned forward slightly, a playful smile curving his lips.

"Put away your ridiculous arrogance and learn to be humble!"

"Otherwise, when they see the performance of us true geniuses in the examination hall..."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand the blow, and your Dao hearts will shatter on the spot!"
