Chapter 10: The Small Martial Arts Stele

Upon hearing this, Daoling's somewhat youthful face stiffened, and he swallowed hard, saying: "One hundred thousand participants? How is that possible?"

Daoling quickly nodded, but upon seeing Ye Yun's smiling face, he suddenly had a foreboding feeling.

Do you want to have complete control over the energy within your body?" Ye Yun said with a smile, narrowing her eyes

The mentor is wise. Dao Ling chuckled, feeling somewhat strange about why she brought me here

The vice dean sighed repeatedly, noting that those terrifying prodigies were all supported by powerful figures within their clans as they ventured into ancient ruins in search of opportunities. The depth of their resources was far beyond what Dao Ling could compare to, with a disparity as vast as that between heaven and earth

Daoling did not pay him any attention. The battle just now had given him some insight. He sensed the surging blood energy within him, each stream like a wild horse breaking free, leaving him feeling somewhat powerless.

Perhaps one could leave a name on the Small Martial Arts Monument... Her delicate palm gently clenched, and a hint of captivating emotion flickered in her eyes

"Daoling, I will make you die, no one can save you, no one at all!" Qian Lin shouted through gritted teeth, his eyes blood-red like those of a beast, limping as he made his way home.

At this moment, the two arrived at a beautifully crafted villa. Dao Ling's dark eyes scanned the surroundings; this should be the place where Ye Yun resides

It is particularly difficult for someone like Daoling, as geniuses are prone to premature demise, especially in a world with such a strict hierarchy, where there are too many strong individuals. In their eyes, Daoling is even less than an ant.

I have successfully registered, joining the Starry Academy shouldn't be particularly difficult, right? Dao Ling inquired, as he certainly hoped to join the Starry Academy. It is said that there are many talented individuals within, as well as various martial arts techniques. It is also rumored that cultivation resources are distributed every month, making everyone eager to join the Starry Academy

However, the result left everyone speechless. Daoling seemed as if possessed by a divine being; he stood still without moving an inch and directly sent Qianlin flying.

The gazes of the crowd were filled with fear, and their hearts could not help but be astonished. Is this still the God of Sleep? He is now so terrifying. A group of people regretted it immensely; in the past, they had bullied Dao Ling without restraint, and now they were all worried about whether he would seek revenge on them.

Ye Yun is very clear that in this vast world, to climb higher, one must possess strength; otherwise, one is destined to live a life of mediocrity

Ah! Qianlin is howling in agony, his face filled with terror, feeling as if his body is about to shatter, his entire form resembling a pile of mud, unable to stand up.

"Mentor Ye Yun, you are quite fortunate to encounter such an outstanding genius," the vice dean said with a smile, casting a glance at Ye Yun, thinking to himself that this girl is indeed very lucky

Such individuals possess an extreme level of terror, having achieved invincible records spanning hundreds of thousands of miles. The fact that they can cultivate their physical bodies to such a terrifying extent at a young age, with their inherent blood energy capable of injuring their opponents, indicates that their potential is exceptionally strong, and they possess the potential to become powerful beings

As she watched the deputy dean leave, Ye Yun turned her beautiful eyes towards Dao Ling and said with a smile, "Come here to me."

Daoling followed Ye Yun out, and the two walked onto the path paved with blue stones. Looking at her luminous white profile, he couldn't help but ask: "Mentor, do you have something to discuss?"

It is difficult to say, as every year during the enrollment period of the Star Academy, there are often more than 100,000 participants, while the Star Academy only admits 1,000 students

Qian Lin's face turned ashen, and a look of fear spread in his eyes. He discovered a terrifying issue: it seemed that he had been rendered useless

Ye Yun rolled her eyes, "You broke through these past few days? Who believes that?" After pondering for a moment, she said, "Hiding your strength is your own business, I won't ask further. There are only five days left until the assessment day of the Star Academy. Do you have confidence in passing?"

The martial hall was eerily silent, and many were in disbelief. Just moments ago, Qian Lin had consumed a potion that stimulated his potential, resulting in a rapid surge in his strength. They all believed that Dao Ling was doomed.

Gulu

Upon entering the inner chamber, Ye Yun said with a smile, "Just now, I sensed that the energy within you was somewhat turbulent; it seems you have encountered some issues in your cultivation, haven't you?"

Hearing Ye Yun's murmurs, the deputy dean rolled his eyes and lightly snorted, saying: "Mentor Ye Yun, you are still young. Although your cultivation is higher than mine, do you know what the Minor Martial Stele is?"

Even the current top genius of Qingzhou cannot rank within the top one hundred on the Minor Martial Arts Stele, which illustrates the difficulty of such an endeavor, akin to ascending to the heavens

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun looked at him with a smile that was not quite a smile and said, "Daoling, you have hidden it quite well; even I was deceived. Isn't it amusing?"

Dao Ling gasped in surprise; it was the first time he had heard of such matters. He did not expect that a single recruitment could attract as many as 100,000 participants. The difficulty of this is evident, as only 1,000 individuals can successfully pass.

This is indeed a sequela; one must find a way to temper the physical body, otherwise, there will be great troubles. Daoling furrowed his brow slightly; although his vitality was strong, the speed at which he had been enhancing recently was too rapid, making it difficult for him to control the energy within his body

The gaze of Daoling met his, and the faint look in his eyes sent a chill down Qian Lin's spine, making him feel as though he was facing a primordial beast, causing his heart to tremble in fear

The last sentence made Daoling feel a chill all over his body, and he hurriedly said: "No, how could I dare to deceive you? I just broke through a few days ago"

The Swallowing Heaven Gate technique is indeed terrifying, but if one does not pay attention to the fundamentals, it might very well consume me. Dao Ling smacked his lips, realizing that he needed to find a way to address the aftereffects.

Indeed, such small places cannot be compared to the extraordinary talents of some prominent families. They often refine their bodies with various rare treasures, and some even use the true blood from ancient ferocious beasts to forge various elixirs that enhance their physical strength. The vice president smacked his lips and said, "These terrifying prodigies can traverse across the major continents and possess unparalleled combat power"

I am also somewhat surprised. Ye Yun's lips curled into a charming arc, her pearly teeth glistening, and her brows lifted with joy; this surprise left her astonished, as the contrast was too great.

However, if he can grow up in such an environment, his future achievements are bound to be remarkable, " Ye Yun said, her bright eyes resting on Dao Ling, filled with admiration.

What he implies is, do you really think you can teach such a prodigy? This is somewhat wishful thinking, as the Minor Martial Monument is a stone tablet that tests the body refining realm, and only those exceptional individuals can leave a profound mark on it for future generations to revere

Ye Yun curled her lips, sitting cross-legged in the room, with a teasing expression as she said: "I am here to help you..."

Let's see when the time comes said Daoling, scratching his head

Ye Yun is very clear that the Xiaowu Stele has stood in Qingzhou for countless years, from ancient times to the present, with an endless array of prodigies. Many talented individuals have carved their names on it!

You know too little about this world. How many people are there in the small Qingshan Academy? You will understand these matters in the future. Ye Yun said with a smile: This world is vast, and even just Qingzhou is very large. There are many geniuses; do not think that having a body refinement level of thirty or forty thousand pounds is something remarkable. Body refinement is merely the first level; the Yunling level is only considered the beginning.

"My strength." He attempted to restore the energy within his body, but found that every inch of his muscles was wracked with excruciating pain. He was nearly frightened to death, realizing that he could not regain his strength.

It is easy to imagine how extraordinary it would be to carve a name onto the Small Martial Arts Monument

It is unknown who swallowed their saliva, but Ye Yun's long eyelashes fluttered. She exchanged a glance with the vice dean, and both were simultaneously shocked, as they had just felt a surge of rolling, flowing blood energy.

What does it mean to be watching?" Ye Yun shook her head and said seriously, "The Starry Academy is a major force in Qingzhou. Although one cannot join the Starry Academy, one can choose to join other forces. However, these forces are significantly inferior compared to the Starry Academy.

In this world, a significant amount of resources is held in the hands of powerful forces. Without influence or a family, one can only gain the qualification to stand further and ascend higher by joining a major power

Typically, an average person in the realm of body refinement spends about two years honing their physical form in order to solidify their body to an unbreakable state. However, he has completed in just half a month what others take two years to achieve, resulting in an unstable foundation

"What a genius." The vice dean took a deep breath, his fiery gaze fixed on Daoling's calm and composed face. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "If given a few years, this guy's future achievements will surely be remarkable..."

Daoling! Qianlin was filled with a mix of shock and anger, his piercing gaze fixed intently on the shadow ahead. His face contorted in a grotesque manner, emanating a chilling aura, and at that moment, he wished to find a crack in the ground to hide in.

In this world, there are some terrifying figures that can be described as having a bloodthirsty aura; once this aura is unleashed, it can crush mountains!

The vice dean's insight is remarkably sharp; he perceives Dao Ling's potential to be exceptionally strong, perhaps even surpassing Wang Ling. As long as he does not meet an untimely end in the future, he will undoubtedly make a name for himself in Qingzhou.

Ye Yun's eyelids also twitched, startled by her own thoughts. Those who can carve their names on the small Martial Arts Monument are all renowned talents. If Dao Ling were one of these individuals, he would have long been absorbed by a major force, rather than lingering in this small place

When this sound fell, a group of people went mad with jealousy. It was the first time they had seen Ye Yun speaking to others with a smile, and moreover, going out together with her.
