Chapter 270 Earthly Cave Heaven
[8%, 18%...]
On the panel, the progress bar of purifying divine substances was rising slowly, but now Shen Bailian's mental power was about to reach the warning line, so he chose to give up before the extraction was completed.
"Hu——" Shen Bailian panted heavily, and collapsed on the sofa with sweat all over his head, slowly closing his slightly dim eyes.
After a moment.
The boy's rapid breathing became smooth, and sweat flowed down his resolute face and dripped onto the martial arts uniform made of Tiancan silk, and was instantly absorbed by it without leaving any trace.
The soaked martial arts uniform was tightly attached to Shen Bailian's granite-like muscles, like a sculptured work from being beaten to death.
"It seems that I haven't experienced this feeling for a long time." Shen Bailian felt his almost exhausted mental power, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Although from time to time, there was a tingling sensation in his mind due to the exhaustion of his spiritual power, just like a needle piercing his fingernail.
But.
Shen Bailian actually felt an indescribable pleasure, not because he liked to be tortured, but purely because he had not experienced this feeling for too long.
Experience the feeling of exhaustion.
Since the end of the hard training in Tiangang Academy, the most serious and tragic injury he suffered was the peak battle of the Golden Cup League.
After that, Shen Bailian never experienced it again.
So it is inevitable to miss this feeling.
However, if he wants to continue to experience it, Shen Bailian is unwilling to do so. He took out a second-level star nourishing spirit potion from the ring and drank it down.
In an instant.
Like a long drought meeting a sweet rain, Shen Bailian's nearly exhausted spiritual sea ushered in a long-lost spring rain, and the tingling sensation in his head was relieved, and a refreshing feeling came.
After a few dozen seconds~
"Comfortable." Shen Bailian felt the mental power in his mind that had recovered a quarter, and changed from lying down to lying down, and even squinted his eyes comfortably.
"If I have time in the future, I still have to use more divergent thinking, otherwise it is easy to miss what I could have had." Shen Bailian rubbed his temples slowly with both hands and whispered softly.
If it weren't for this sudden flash of inspiration, if he wanted to discover the divine substance in the heaven and earth energy in other time periods, I don't know how long it would take.
Or it would never be possible to discover it.
Sometimes, luck is far more important than hard work and talent.
For a warrior who can become a truly powerful warrior, talent, luck, and hard work are all indispensable.
Genius is 99% sweat plus 1% talent.
Efforts can only improve the lower limit of a martial arts student. What can really determine the upper limit is talent, or martial arts potential and understanding.
"Compared to other martial arts students, I am much luckier. I awakened my original talent by chance and materialized it, so I am fortunate to be able to stand at the current height." Shen Bailian's mind was full of thoughts.
Many people's names and faces appeared in his mind.
Among them were Gao Lei, Xiao Yan, Li Hongling, who were famous in Bozhou City... and the eldest brother Xu Changqing, who had been famous since he entered the Martial Arts University, and the ninth saint of the Starry Sky Martial Hall, Jiuxiao Shenlei Yuwen Changkong.
These people were all important martial arts geniuses in their respective fields.
Shen Bailian even had to look up to these people.
And now?
Time has passed, and everything has changed in less than half a year. Even a martial arts genius as strong as Xu Changqing in his junior year can hardly survive three rounds in his hands.
If Shen Bailian goes all out, it is a question whether Xu Changqing can survive a round.
Not to mention Yuwen Changkong, who has just been promoted to the Sea Breaking Realm.
Without the influence of external forces, not to mention the current of tens of millions of volts, even the thunder of hundreds of millions of volts would be difficult to penetrate Shen Bailian's defense.
With the force armor and the double defense of the skill Iron Body, he is confident that he will be invincible even when facing a warrior at the peak of the Sea-breaking Realm.
And there is a high probability that he can wear down the opponent.
"Talent and luck are not bad, so the only thing I lack is time." Shen Bailian sat up straight, and a gleam of light suddenly burst out in his eyes.
Now, if he is described in game terms, he has just reached the middle stage of the game.
The accumulation of various aspects in the early stage is enough to make him snowball, and the rest is time.
Before, Shen Bailian even had an idea, that is, to seek the help of Duan Wuya, find a cave world where the time flow is faster than the outside world, and hide in it to practice for a few years.
In this way, as long as he can survive, he has the confidence and perseverance to continue to work hard and brush all skills to the maximum level.
By then, not to mention the Sea-Breaking Realm and the Moon-Baothing Realm, even the Palace of Gods Realm is not impossible.
It's just a pity that time has passed and the plan can't keep up with the changes.
If Shen Bailian wants to upgrade the current Iron Body skill, it will take at least two months.
And he must also transfer most of his training time to tempering his body.
But now?
With sufficient skill points, one second is enough to upgrade the Iron Body skill to several levels and upgrade it to an advanced level.
And the effect of upgrading skill experience points and upgrading with skill points is exactly the same.
Although one skill point requires 4999 points of divine material.
But for Shen Bailian now, he only needs to go through the beast tide once, and the divine material he can get is as few as a few thousand and as many as tens of thousands.
And such beast tides occur five or six times in a month here in Hulao Pass.
Therefore, brushing skill points is much more efficient than gaining experience.
However, this does not mean that Shen Bailian will choose to give up daily practice directly. His choice is to do both.
Daily practice can help him quickly familiarize himself with and master the explosive power after skill upgrades, and with his original high comprehension, plus the mental power of the middle stage of the second-level Lingxi realm.
There is a great chance that he can enter the state of enlightenment in daily practice and promote the further development of the field.
Although Shen Bailian had previously relied on the secondary advancement of basic swordsmanship to comprehend a field by chance.
But that is not true. It is completely relying on the powerful basic attributes of the skill [Senluo Wanxiang], plus a sudden impact, that is why he forced his way into the fifth stage of martial arts skills and comprehended the artistic conception.
In other words, although he has learned the Senluo domain, he cannot use it skillfully.
Moreover, although the intention of Senluo is very powerful, it is not what Shen Bailian comprehended himself, but a kind of intention attached to the sword skill [Senluo Wanxiang].
Although because the panel is the embodiment of his original talent, he can also master the intention of [Senluo] 100%.
But he cannot break the limit.
This is the most important point.
Why are martial arts geniuses stronger than those first-class martial arts geniuses?
It lies in their combat power, whether they can break through the limit of physical fitness level, and whether they can break through the limit and what bottom they can break through.
If the combat power is defined as 1 under the same physical fitness level.
The strength that a first-class martial arts genius can exert is 1.
But if a martial arts genius were to use this body, after becoming proficient, the combat power that could be exerted would be between 1.5 and 2.0.
Even in the state of initial familiarity, the actual combat power that could be exerted would be above 1.2.
Therefore, for Shen Bailian now, 100% mastery of the current power is just a trivial foundation.
The fifth stage of martial arts skills that he needs to comprehend is the meaning that can break the limit, and it is the meaning that can double his current real combat power again.
"Continue to eat the remaining Yuanjing, then sleep for an hour, and get up early tomorrow to continue hunting fierce beasts and obtain divine substances." Shen Bailian felt the mental power that had recovered three-quarters in his mind, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
As for physical strength?
Just now, he just tasted the taste of Yuanjing, instead of practicing Senluo Wanxiang or Hunyuan Yiqi, and there was almost no consumption.
It can be said that he is at his peak.
As one of the six universities in Daxia, the final exam process of Tiangang Academy is naturally different from that of other martial arts universities.
In ordinary first-class martial arts universities, the final exam of the freshman year is only a collective participation in the city defense battle.
However, the final exam of the freshmen of Tiangang Academy is divided into two rounds, and the collective participation in the city defense battle is only the first round of trials with the simplest difficulty and the lowest requirements.
The second round of trials is to clear the mother nest of fierce beasts in the wilderness.
Due to the particularity of the second round of trials and the uncontrollability of the dangers in the wilderness, the second round of trials naturally also has relevant thresholds.
The martial arts realm of the participants must be in the middle stage of the life realm or above, and the physical fitness level must be above 18.0, and the mental strength level must be above 7.0. Only martial arts students are eligible to participate.
High risk, high reward.
The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish.
The second round of trials of Tiangang Academy is also the same.
All equipment and resources required for the second round of trials are provided free of charge by Tiangang Academy.
According to the data of previous years, the person who survived and had the lowest income could obtain military products with a value and purchasing power equivalent to three million Daxia coins.
Military products worth three million Daxia coins are enough for ordinary warriors to practice for several months without worries.
Even for those Huiyue-level martial arts students, these military products can be exchanged for a first-level natural treasure. If some auxiliary medicines are added, they can be made into Life No. 1, which increases the speed of practice.
Its amplification efficiency can reach 1.2-1.5 times, lasting up to three weeks, and can also slightly improve martial arts potential.
This is just the harvest of the person at the bottom.
And the martial arts students of Tiangang Academy this year, because of the stimulation of someone, most of the overall quality and physical fitness levels are stronger than those of previous years.
It is a full 17.8%!
If a soldier is timid, the general will be timid. It is self-evident that a benchmark-type strongman in the same class will stimulate a martial arts student who is the pride of heaven in their respective cities.
The physical fitness level of the weakest person in this session of the Sun-level Dragon Gate martial arts students has reached level 20.0.
The majority of the physical fitness levels of the Huiyue-level martial arts students below are also between 18.9 and 20.0.
Therefore, the number of martial arts students who signed up for the second round of trials this time was far more than in previous years.
However, for Shen Bailian, even if all the martial arts students were added together, they were not his opponents.
When the gap in strength was too big, the number lost its meaning.
…
The next day, early in the morning.
In the northern border of Daxia, in front of a gate with a hazy blue light, there were thirty-six young men in brand new military uniforms and resolute faces, standing on the ground like tall green pines.
Not moving at all.
This portal with a hazy light was the portal to the 37th cave heaven, namely the Dikui cave heaven.
Everyone was pale, solemn, and saluted with one hand, their eyes were fixed on the bodies covered with white cloth.
And there were more than ten such white cloths on this concrete ground.
Under each white cloth, it represented a dead boy, a martial arts student who was only twenty years old.
Moreover, there was a solemn and sad music, which kept echoing in the air.
Time passed slowly, and it was unknown how long it had passed. A ray of bright sunshine penetrated the darkness of dawn and reached the cage in the deep space of the universe.
The next moment.
Thousands of rays of light rose from the east, illuminating every corner of the world, shining on the resolute faces and misty eyes of those young men.
"Da Fei, Xiao Yang..." Xiao Yan looked at the pieces of white cloth with tears in his eyes, and a silent but deafening voice came out in his heart.
His face was no longer as immature as before, and he looked much more mature, and there were some stubbles on his mouth.
But at this time, he gave people an extremely reliable feeling.
Xiao Yan looked at the white cloth quietly. Under the white cloth were his comrades, who fought side by side and went through life and death together.
He remembered the name of everyone lying there clearly, and the face of everyone was engraved in his heart.
Although they have only been together for a few months, they have become like family.
A comrade who can rest assured to leave his back to the other party.
Even more intimate than his relationship with Shen Bailian, after all, they are friends of life and death.
Or a life and death friend in the army.
However, there are unexpected changes in the world, and people are subject to misfortunes at any time. Everything in this world is difficult for ordinary people to predict.
No one can predict the future.
Trials and life and death again and again, the god of luck will not visit them, but the god of death often comes.
The original 49 people, in less than a month, now only 36 people are left.
The loss rate is higher than one quarter
Even with the protection of the Pihai Realm warriors, even the Pihai Realm warriors do not know the art of splitting, and they will also be unable to split, so casualties are also reasonable.
Logically speaking, Xiao Yan has been in the army for more than half a year. As a professional soldier of Daxia, he should have long been accustomed to the life and death separation of his comrades.
"The ceremony is over..."
