Hiding Strength?

Inside the training room, Just fifteen minutes later, the young man sitting cross-legged suddenly frowned and slowly opened his eyes.

[Secret Art: Blood Ignition Sacred Art 1/ (Second Layer)]

"Add proficiency points?"

Li Qingshan stared at the panel, his pupils constricting slightly.

The Blood Ignition Sacred Art cultivates extremely fast and doesn't interfere with martial skill cultivation, so it should be the fastest skill to level up so far.

Even if he adds proficiency points, it won't take long.

But... it's too painful!

Those fifteen minutes were minutes in the Martial Dao Space!

Within those minutes, aside from necessary rest, he self-destructed a full 2000 times!

"A mere... forget it, I'll cultivate the Qi Guiding Art first. I can't stop the Breaking Limits cultivation every day!"

Li Qingshan's expression turned serious, and he got up to retrieve the Golden Source Fluid, beginning his Qi Guiding Art cultivation.

The sun slanted westward, empty bottles piling up on the floor as the young man sat motionless.

Late at night, after 10 hours of cultivation and 20 cycles of the Qi Guiding Art, he finished.

Li Qingshan sighed helplessly and closed his eyes again, entering the Martial Dao Space.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The next morning, Li Qingshan opened his eyes, his expression blank.

[Secret Art: Blood Ignition Sacred Art / (Third Layer)]

A moment later, His gaze finally returned from the panel, regaining some vitality.

Li Qingshan turned and walked out of the training room, standing in front of the Virtual Pod.

"The Silver Advancement Match is against a Tier 3 Low-level Exotic Beast, the Gold Advancement Match should be Tier 3 Mid-level."

"Eight times the combat power, a one-minute survival time, that's enough."

He pressed the activation button, and the pod cover slid open.

Li Qingshan took a deep breath and lay down inside.

Light and shadows shifted, and he was surrounded by smooth walls, with screens lighting up before his eyes.

[User: Li Qingshan]
[Rank: Silver (1/1000)]
[Rank Points: 138]

Li Qingshan didn't hesitate, directly tapping the match button, and his body instantly appeared on the battle platform.

Across from him, a mature-looking young man appeared, carrying a large blade.

[Match Found]
[Opponent: Xiao Ming]
[Rank: Silver (3/1000)]
[Profile: Age 24, Azure Sky Academy Senior Student]

Xiao Ming grinned, greeting him with a smile.

"Junior, isn't this a coincidence?"

"It is quite a coincidence."

Li Qingshan nodded, his right hand gripping the hilt of his blade.

"Senior, time is limited, let's start directly!"

"Junior, I have a request." Xiao Ming said with a bright smile, a little embarrassed.

"Junior, could we have a head-on fight this time?"

"No problem."

The incredibly straightforward answer stunned Xiao Ming.

The next second, Bang! Bang! Bang!

Blood holes exploded all over Li Qingshan's body, the condensed rainbow light dazzlingly bright.

"Holy shit!"

Xiao Ming was dumbfounded, just about to activate his secret technique.

Boom!

Purple lightning struck instantly, and his corpse exploded.

Li Qingshan's foot landed, stepping on the bloodstains, and he looked down at the wreckage on the ground.

"Senior, it seems you're not tough enough."

[Ranked Points +1, continue matchmaking?]

The light screen popped up, but Li Qingshan wasn't in a hurry. He just stood there, waiting quietly.

A minute later, Within the bloody holes, the condensed rainbow light expanded uncontrollably.

Bang!

Around the platform, in the observation room behind the void.

"One minute! It really is the third level of the Blood Ignition Sacred Art!"

Xiao Ming's eyes widened in disbelief.

Just now, after Li Qingshan went berserk, his speed and strength had exceeded his reaction limit, making it impossible to judge.

Now, he could finally confirm it!

Xiao Ming was also at the third level of the Blood Ignition Sacred Art. This was his specialty after two years of research.

It was precisely because of this that he could, at the Rainbow Transformation Realm, squeeze into the bottom of the Silver rank.

But...

"He didn't even know it last time, could he have been hiding his strength?"

Xiao Ming muttered to himself, then shook his head violently.

"That shouldn't be. With Li Qingshan's third-tier low-rank combat power, plus the third level of the Blood Ignition Sacred Art, he could completely reach the Gold rank. There's no reason to hide his strength."

As he spoke, Li Qingshan's next opponent had already appeared on the battle platform.

Same berserk mode, same instant kill!

Xiao Ming's expression became even more puzzled.

"It's only been four days. There's no reason he was hiding his strength then, but not now..."

"Could it be that he just learned the Blood Ignition Sacred Art in these four days?"

As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, Xiao Ming immediately shook his head firmly.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Just then, "Oh! Senior Xiao, what are you doing here?"

A soft exclamation sounded, and Zhuang Yitong appeared quietly.

Not only her, but Tian Wenyu and most of the people who had been defeated by Li Qingshan before also appeared one by one.

"What are you all doing?" Xiao Ming turned his head in confusion.

Someone was blunt and said directly:

"We're here to watch Li Qingshan fight the suicide bomber!"

Zhuang Yitong glared at the speaker and said awkwardly:

"Um, Senior, he's not talking about you."

Xiao Ming didn't mind, he raised his hand and pointed to the battle platform, smiling meaningfully:

"There, he's right there, you can watch for yourselves!"

On the platform, the opponent was already dead, and only Li Qingshan was standing there.

Just as everyone was puzzled, Bang!

The youth holding the knife exploded into fragments.

"Holy crap! How did Li Qingshan become a suicide bomber too?"

A cry of surprise rang out, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Xiao Ming stared at the youth who appeared again on the platform, his gaze unfathomable.

Regardless of whether he was hiding his strength before, Li Qingshan would definitely be able to reach the Gold rank today.

More importantly, Li Qingshan was only 19 years old!

Limit Realm Completion, Breaking Limits five times, movement techniques, martial skills, secret techniques...

Xiao Ming shook his head, letting out a long sigh.

"What a freak!"

On the battle platform, Li Qingshan wasted no words in each battle, immediately activating his Blood Ignition Sacred Art.

All of his opponents were instantly killed!

[Ranking Points +5, continue matching?]
[Ranking Points +8, continue matching?]
[Ranking Points +15, continue matching?]

As the number of victories accumulated, his ranking points increased more and more.

Half an hour later, Li Qingshan returned from another self-detonation, looking at the screen in front of him.

[User: Li Qingshan]
[Rank: Silver (1000/1000)]
[Ranking points full, participate in promotion challenge?]

His finger tapped confirm, and his figure disappeared from the battle platform.

In the viewing room, everyone snapped back to their senses, unable to suppress the lingering fear in their hearts.

"Too ruthless, self-detonating dozens of times in a row, doesn't he feel pain?"

The Federation's virtual space has never weakened the sense of pain.

Although the body wouldn't be affected, the pain of self-detonation was absolutely real!

"Tsk, tsk, this junior is truly a ruthless person!"

"Nonsense, if he wasn't ruthless, could he have reached this stage at 19?"

"Let's go, Li Qingshan didn't linger after his last promotion, he's probably already logged off."

On the battle platform, his figure didn't appear for a long time, and the spectators also logged off and left one after another.

On Midday Sun Giant Star, the sunlight remained scorching, seemingly eternally unchanged.

A young man hurried along, knocking on the door and entering the office.
