High Martial Arts: A Cataclysmic Beast? I am the only Beast Tamer!

It's not just Jiang Xueying.

Lu Yu and the others all had this question in their minds at this moment.

The top students from other cities present were all incredulous when they learned about Shen Tu Xiong's level of cultivation from their supervising teachers.

Who among these people isn't a martial arts genius?

Although the Nine-Star Martial Arts Talent is high, it's not that there isn't one in any of the other cities besides Jinling City!

Next to Lu Yu and the others, in the line of examinees from Xicheng, a boy kept exclaiming, "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

He possesses a nine-star martial arts talent!

For the past year, I have been cultivating day and night, working diligently, but I have only just reached the fifth level!

This Shen Tu Xiong, is he a sixth-rank cultivator?

He's a whole realm higher than him!

It's important to know that the further a martial artist progresses in their cultivation, the greater the gap between their ranks becomes, and the more accumulation is required to advance!

The difference between the fifth and sixth order is almost as big as the difference between the second and third order and the fifth order!

Principal Jiang, seeing the surprised and doubtful looks on Lu Yu and the others' faces, was not surprised. He simply sighed before explaining:

"Resources, because of resources!"

"A prodigy like Shentu Xiong, backed by the Shentu family, possesses unimaginable amounts of cultivation resources!"

"Source Crystals, cultivation techniques, martial arts skills, equipment..."

"They even have plenty of some extremely rare items!"

This statement came out.

The people behind Lu Yu fell silent.

Even Jiang Xueying was biting her lip, looking somewhat frustrated.

On the contrary, Lu Yu was not surprised at all when he heard this.

Is this reasonable?

That makes perfect sense!

A year ago, he resolutely gave up his nine-star martial arts talent and chose the path of a beast tamer, which meant he had already guessed this situation.

Is having high talent enough?

In this world, you need influence, connections, and resources!

In his previous life, Lu Yu had read some cultivation novels, in which there was a saying: among wealth, companions, methods, and land, wealth ranked first!

Although Earth is a world of martial arts, the principles within it are the same.

"Principal, what did you mean by mentioning the Shentu family earlier?"

Lu Yu didn't look at the prodigy Shen Tu Xiong again, but thought for a moment and asked.

Compared to the so-called prodigies, he was more curious about the current power structure in Jinling.

No matter how strong a prodigy is, what does it matter if they are only at the sixth level?

Can it withstand a slap from its own Starry Sky Titan?

From the moment he contracted the behemoth, Lu Yu's vision was no longer limited to the younger generation.

"Lu Yu, that's a good question! That's exactly what I wanted to tell you!"

Seeing that Lu Yu's face showed no sign of frustration like the others, Jiang Zhenmin's gaze softened with admiration. He first praised him, then said:

"In Jinling City, there are now three major families, who jointly control all affairs, large and small, in Jinling City."

"They are the Shen family, the Shen family, and the Li family!"

"Why are these three families the most powerful, and why do we have to mention the top martial arts experts in Jinling!"

"Three Saints, Nine Venerables!"

At this point, a hint of respect unconsciously appeared on Jiang Zhenmin's usually stern face.

"Three saints and nine venerable ones?"

Lu Yu raised an eyebrow and said subconsciously.

Jiang Zhenmin nodded and explained:

"good!"

"The reason they are the three major families is because the Shen Tu family, the Shen family, and the Li family each have a Saint-level martial artist in charge!"

"A Saint-level martial artist, also known as His Majesty the Saint!"

"Having cultivated to their level, they have transcended the mundane and possess unimaginable power!"

With a wave of his hand, mountains and rivers shattered, and the seas receded!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xueying and the others widened their eyes in surprise.

obviously.

This strength has already exceeded their expectations.

Or rather, compared to martial arts saints, they, who are currently only fighting with physical strength, seem no different from toddlers learning to walk.

But at this moment, Lu Yu's thoughts were different from everyone else's.

What he was thinking was...

If even Saint-level martial artists are this strong, what about Saint-level behemoths?

In one-on-one combat, martial artists are never a match for giant beasts!

"I wonder when I'll be able to get a Saint-level behemoth as a pet?"

Lu Yu couldn't help but think to himself.

……

the other side.

Hundreds of candidates from Nanjing formed a large and impressive procession.

Lin Changyuan's eyes quickly searched through the crowd and soon locked onto the location of Lu Yu and the others.

He touched his swollen right cheek, remembered his father's instructions before he left Jinling, mustered his courage, stepped forward, approached Shen Tu Xiong, and said respectfully:

"Young Master Shentu!"

"That young man is Lu Yu, whom my father once mentioned to you!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Tu Xiong stopped and glanced in the direction Lin Changyuan pointed.

next moment.

He shook his head and said seriously, "Too weak."

In his perception, the boy named Lu Yu didn't seem to have the aura of even a first-level martial artist.

Such a weakling is far from qualified to be his opponent!

"He's not a martial artist, he's a beast tamer. His pets are incredibly powerful, even capable of killing peak fourth-tier mutated beasts!"

Upon seeing this, Lin Changyuan quickly spoke up.

"Oh?"

"A peak-level fourth-tier mutated beast?"

"And then? Is it very strong?"

After hearing this, Shen Tu Xiong shook his head even more.

If it weren't for the deal that Lin Changyuan's father, the city lord of Luocheng, made with his own father, he wouldn't have brought along such a weak lackey like Lin Changyuan.

even……

And you still have to help him deal with some beast tamer, Lu Yu?

"Weak, too weak!"

"If you really can't handle it, just call me then!"

Shen Tu Xiong withdrew his gaze, casually uttered two sentences, and continued walking forward without looking back.

A weakling like Lu Yu has no right to throw a punch.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Changyuan's face turned extremely ugly, but only for a moment. He quickly composed himself and hurried after Shen Tuxiong, following closely behind like a lackey.

We must cling to the coattails of the young master of the Shentu family!

This is something his father repeatedly told him before he came!

……

……

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye.

More than half an hour passed.

With over 500 young men and women eagerly anticipating the moment, the time finally arrived at 8 o'clock!

whoosh-

This moment.

A streak of light flew out from the vast city of Jinling!

In the blink of an eye, they were above everyone's heads.

That is……

A martial arts master of the Venerable level!

The Venerable level, also known as the Martial Arts Supreme!

"The Heavenly Blade Supreme, one of the Nine Venerables of Jinling!"

"It is said that he once obtained an ancient sword technique from a secret realm, and through the sword, he entered the Dao, reaching the Venerable level in just over twenty years, achieving the title of Supreme!"

Jiang Zhenmin's words, full of emotion, rang in the ears of Lu Yu and the others.

have to say.

As expected of a martial arts supreme being, the powerful aura emanating from him is truly formidable.

Even from a great distance, Lu Yu could feel a strong sense of oppression, and his breathing became somewhat labored.

In a daze.

One could even vaguely see endless sword energy, crisscrossing and dancing between heaven and earth.

Beneath the dazzling flashes of the blade lurked boundless killing intent!

"This is... a martial arts domain that only a Supreme Being can possess?"

Lu Yu thought to himself.

And then...

Under the gazes of many who held him in awe and admiration.

The Heavenly Blade Supreme took out a compass with a talisman mark from his chest and channeled his source power into it.

Rumbling--

Followed by.

The abyss-like spatial rift, as vast as the sky, slowly opened a crack!

"All candidates, please enter as soon as possible!"

at the same time.

Above the sky, a cold, soft shout came from the Heavenly Blade Supreme.

The more than 500 candidates present were immediately invigorated upon hearing this.

The secret realm has opened!

The competition for this provincial civil service exam has officially begun!
