Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along

Chapter 564 - 168: The Continental Exam, First Clash

Zhu Dairong glanced at Xu Rui, who had passed out, glared fiercely at Hu Tian, and then followed the wind, chasing after Ling Feng.

Although Xu Rui is not a Divine Thought Master,

he is a Destruction Mentalist whose Sea of Consciousness value exceeds 60.0, successfully imprinting the Four-Character Spell of Calm and Serenity, continuously enhancing his Sea of Consciousness value here.

Even though he’s not a Divine Thought Master, the mental telekinesis waves he releases, boosted by the Four-Character Spell, can yield unexpected effects.

Yet he couldn’t even block a single spiritual power from Ling Feng.

Could it be that Ling Feng has already formed a Dao Field, his spiritual power has transformed, and he has even touched the Origin Power?

The more he thinks about it, the more absurd it seems.

But deep down, he knows that Ling Feng is indeed extraordinarily talented, and perhaps under Jiang Nan’s guidance, he could truly become a Divine Thought Master before the age of twenty-five, eventually succeeding Jiang Nan as the supreme Sect Leader of the Divine Sect.

If that day truly comes, he will be in trouble.

"Young Master Ling, wait for me, old man."

Thinking of this, Zhu Dairong changed his demeanor, chasing after Ling Feng with a smile, abandoning the airs of a Divine Thought Master and an Elder of the Divine Sect.

Hu Tian watched all this with his mouth wide open, feeling uneasy in his heart.

Could the successor of the Divine Sect truly become Ling Feng?

Ling Feng, along with Jiang Nan, boarded the airship and returned to the Academy.

With three days left until the continental exam, everyone had free time to themselves, and during this period, the Academy leaders and even the relevant officials from the Great Xia Kingdom personally encouraged the four, hoping they would achieve outstanding results on the grand stage of the Eastern Continent.

One day later.

Ling Feng, Qin Qianyu, Jin Yifei, and Wen Duoduo, representing the Great Xia Kingdom, under the leadership of Lu Jin and Jiang Nan, boarded an airship bound for the Divine Bull Country.

This year’s continental exam is hosted in the Divine Bull Country.

As one of the few thousand-year-old countries in the Eastern Continent, the Divine Bull Country boasts a splendid civilization and has produced many strong individuals, and it is even rumored to have birthed immortals.

It also participated in drafting the contents of the Third Major Cultivation System.

In the Eastern Continent, the Divine Bull Country has always been a mysterious presence, enjoying resource subsidies far exceeding those of many countries in the Eastern Continent each year.

Out of ten continental exams, at least three are held in the Divine Bull Country.

The prodigy of the Divine Bull Country, Rajiv, is also someone Qin Qianyu is quite wary of.

Of course, the continental exam is organized by the Seven Great Star Systems, with the Divine Bull Country primarily providing the venues; the true organizers remain the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance.

The Great Xia Kingdom is some distance from the Divine Bull Country, and the airship took a day and night to arrive in the airspace of the Divine Bull Country.

"This is the Golden Bull Array; the black crystal stones floating above are a special type of ore that, when activated by the array, release powerful Destructive Power. It is quite similar to our Great Xia Kingdom’s South Heaven Gate Array; capable of directly killing Divine Realm Great Demons."

On the airship.

Qin Qianyu pointed out the array patterns in the sky over the Divine Bull Country and the black crystals, proactively explaining them to Ling Feng.

"The Divine Bull Country is surrounded by the sea on three sides, backed by the Longchuan Forbidden Land, with Sea Demons causing trouble in the front and Alien Demon Beasts eyeing from the back, making its geographical conditions much more perilous compared to our Great Xia.

However, the resources obtained from the ocean and the Longchuan Forbidden Land far exceed those of our Great Xia.

You could say it’s a union of blessings and disasters."

Wen Duoduo lamented.

"I heard the Divine Bull Country has two supreme skills: one is the Divine Bull Fist, which can be activated with Qi and Blood Power or boosted by spiritual power, which naturally aligns with heaven and earth during its execution. It’s said that, when cultivated to its ultimate form, one can find the Origin Power through this fist technique.

The other is the Ancient Martial Body Refining Technique, which can detach from spiritual power, directly reaching the realm of Divine Communication of the flesh, taking heaven and earth as the Dao Field, continuously breaking the shackles of the flesh.

It’s said that their god was a body refining master, unable to find a trace of spiritual power throughout his body, yet he could enter the Undersea Death Valley, fighting against the Undersea Divine King without falling behind."

Jin Yifei, having some understanding of the Divine Bull Country, couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Ancient Martial Body Refining Technique?"

Ling Feng frowned.

He is a Master of Spear Technique and also a Body Tempering Master.

He previously heard Yan Fei mention that beyond Body Tempering is Body Refinement; could it be referring to the Ancient Martial Body Refining Technique?

Detached from spiritual power, flesh achieving Divine Communication, taking heaven and earth as the Dao Field, this is truly heaven-defying!

"The Divine Bull Country is one of the few within the Eastern Continent that can compete with our Great Xia and holds superiority in resources and talent.

These past years, the results they have achieved in continental exams far exceed ours; if it weren’t for our geographical advantage, merely relying on resource subsidies from the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance, we wouldn’t be able to compare with them."

Qin Qianyu sighed.

"The Divine Bull Country now has a student cultivating in the Star Gate and successfully becoming an outer disciple, named Rajiv, a prince of the Divine Bull Country, with Spiritual Root Level at Super Grade."

A voice reminded.

Everyone looked to see that it was the Sect Leader of the Divine Sect, Jiang Nan, speaking; upon hearing the six words ’Spiritual Root Level at Super Grade,’ everyone was shocked.

"Sect Leader, can you tell us about the Star Gate? Your gift and talent might surpass even Qianyu’s father; dare I ask, have you ever cultivated in the Star Gate?"

Wen Duoduo eagerly asked.

"I focused on Divine Thought; back then there were more restrictions, so I wasn’t so lucky."

Jiang Nan smiled.

Qin Qianyu avoided eye contact; his father, Qin Cangqiong, was able to enter the Star Gate largely because of Jiang Nan’s sacrifice.

Over the years, regarding Jiang Nan’s commands or requests, as long as the Qin Family could accomplish them, they would strive to fulfill them.

"With the Sect Leader’s exceptional talent, he couldn’t become a Star Gate disciple, how can the four of us have any hope."
