"The special physique, Starlight Body, is a physique possessed by an Ancient Ancestor of the Jiang Family."

"My Starlight Body hasn't fully awakened and is nowhere near the level of the Ancient Ancestor."

Jiang Mingyue nodded and explained to Lin Tian.

Everyone in the Experimental Class knew about her possessing the Starlight Body, except for Lin Tian.

"Does anyone else among you possess a special physique?"

Lin Tian looked at the other members of the Experimental Class.

"How is that possible? Awakening a supernatural ability is already fortunate, let alone a more terrifying special physique."

The members of the Experimental Class shook their heads.

"I don't have one either."

Geng Xian, who came from the Imperial Capital, said with some regret.

"Is that so."

"Then why didn't you use the Starlight Body's abilities when we fought before?"

Lin Tian realized something and continued to ask Jiang Mingyue.

"My Starlight Body has just awakened and right now it can only enhance my combat power. What special abilities could it possibly have?"

"Special physiques awaken step by step as one's cultivation increases. But it seems that even awakened special physiques can't defeat an Extreme Martial Artist."

Jiang Mingyue's words were filled with helplessness.

That Ancient Ancestor of the Jiang Family was a prodigy from the same era as the Pioneer of Martial Dao, Xia Jie. However, even with the Starlight Body, the Ancient Ancestor of the Jiang Family couldn't defeat Xia Jie.

"Since you know Jiang Mingyue possesses the Starlight Body and still chose to come to Qing Province, it seems you have enough confidence."

Lin Tian looked at Geng Xian meaningfully.

"There's no other way. In previous years, my strength would have been enough to secure a spot in the Imperial Capital, but this year is different."

Geng Xian spread his hands helplessly.

This year, too many monstrous talents were born in the Imperial Capital, and even he had to avoid their sharp edges.

"I just didn't expect the first place in the Qing Province Experimental Class to be an Extreme Martial Artist like you. The information I received said you only had 200 points of Blood Essence two days ago."

"I want to know how you managed to reach over 300 points of Blood Essence in two days and become a late-stage Martial Dao First Layer?"

Geng Xian looked at Lin Tian, puzzled.

"Increasing Blood Essence by 100 points in two days?"

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

The members of the Experimental Class heard this news and shook their heads frantically. How could such a thing happen?

Even a Pioneer of Martial Dao couldn't do this, right?

Many people looked at Lin Tian, hoping he would deny it, but Lin Tian had a helpless expression.

"There's nothing I can do, I didn't want to either."

He sighed, which made the members of the Experimental Class grit their teeth in anger, but they also knew that Lin Tian had truly managed to increase his Blood Essence by 100 points in two days.

"Let's go. I'm quite looking forward to the geniuses from the Imperial Capital."

Lin Tian said with a smile.

Since Geng Xian knew Jiang Mingyue was in Qing Province and still came, it meant he was confident he could defeat her.

"I hope you can make it a bit more exciting for me, otherwise, you won't qualify to fight me in a few days."

"What do you mean?"

Lin Tian's words confused Geng Xian a little.

"The college entrance examination is in a few days, and I will break through to Martial Dao Second Layer before then."

"Martial Dao Second Layer!"

Exclamations erupted from the students of the Experimental Class.

"Didn't you just increase your Blood Essence by 100 points?"

"There are still four days until the college entrance examination, how can you break through to Martial Dao Second Layer?"

Qu Mu, sitting in the front row, suddenly turned around and questioned loudly.

"Just, a normal breakthrough!"

Lin Tian explained helplessly.

"Normal? You're telling me this is a normal breakthrough!"

"Five days, increasing Blood Essence by 100 points in five days to break through to Martial Dao Second Layer, and you call this a normal breakthrough!"

Qu Mu roared furiously, speaking the minds of all the students in the Experimental Class.

Even Wang Yang, who was at Martial Dao Fifth Layer, looked bewildered.

"Is this a special characteristic of Extreme Martial Artists?"

Jiang Mingyue, who had been silent, asked.

"Special characteristic of Extreme Martial Artists?"

"I don't think so. This is my own strength, right?"

Lin Tian replied after a moment of thought.

"I see..."

The crowd didn't know how to respond to this answer, and finally followed Lin Tian to the competition stage again.

"You're not using a weapon?"

On the competition stage, Geng Xian, holding a long sword, looked at Lin Tian in confusion.

It seemed inappropriate for Lin Tian to fight him bare-handed.

"I haven't found a suitable weapon yet. I'll use one when I do."

"Don't worry, my fight with Jiang Mingyue was the same."

As Lin Tian spoke, his Blood Essence surged around him.

Seeing this, Geng Xian understood.

"This is the power of an Extreme Martial Artist. They can possess the strength of a Martial Dao Fourth Layer expert at the Martial Dao First Layer."

Geng Xian was envious. His Blood Essence had reached 185 points back then, only 15 points short of the 200-point limit.

But those 15 points of Blood Essence were like an insurmountable chasm to him, and he couldn't break through no matter what.

"Both sides are ready. The match begins!"

As Wang Yang gave the order, Lin Tian and Geng Xian collided on the competition stage.

Blood mist permeated Lin Tian's body, directly forming solid armguards on his arms. Geng Xian's sword attacks were more rapid, and he needed to be fully prepared to fight him.

"No wonder he dared to come to Qing Province. His moves completely counter Jiang Mingyue."

While fighting Geng Xian, Lin Tian discovered the uniqueness of Geng Xian's fighting style.

Jiang Mingyue's sword techniques were extremely sharp, focusing on concentrated attacks, but they seemed to have traces of someone else's style, likely the Ancient Ancestor of the Jiang Family's sword techniques.

Geng Xian's attacks, on the other hand, were broad and powerful, clearly countering Jiang Mingyue's style of offense.

Jiang Mingyue, who was watching, also noticed this.

"The Ancient Ancestor's sword techniques are very powerful, but with my current strength, I can only learn the most superficial aspects. If I studied them more deeply, I wouldn't be countered."

"However, should I make some changes?"

She couldn't help but ponder. The Ancient Ancestor's sword techniques could only overcome weaknesses when cultivated to an extremely high level.

But for her now, this was a weakness. She needed to make some changes, otherwise, when facing enemies similar to Geng Xian, she would be completely countered!

"As expected, fighting without any pattern is still a bit troublesome."

Lin Tian, while fighting Geng Xian, realized his own shortcomings.

He hadn't felt this much during his fights with the students in the Experimental Class.

But when facing the swift attacks of Geng Xian, the drawback became apparent.

Unlike Geng Xian's methodical attacks, he relied entirely on his own Blood Essence and powerful strength to fight, or rather, he defended passively.

It even made him feel some pressure, though it was only a little pressure.

"I hope tomorrow's sign-in reward gives me some martial skills, so fighting will be more convenient."

"Hah!"

After contemplating, Lin Tian let out a loud shout. His Blood Essence surged, and the surrounding blood mist solidified, forming armor that covered his entire body.

With the enhancement of this armor, Lin Tian charged directly at Geng Xian.

Sizzle, Bang!

Geng Xian intended to block Lin Tian with his sword, but as the sword made a sizzling sound against Lin Tian's Blood Essence armor, he was stunned.

Lin Tian seized this opportunity and punched him directly out of the competition stage.

"Lin Tian wins!"

As Wang Yang declared Lin Tian's victory, the match ended.

"So strong, truly an Extreme Martial Artist!"

The students from the Experimental Class, who witnessed the final Blood Essence armor, were extremely excited. It was the first time they had seen Lin Tian use such a move.

Geng Xian, who had fallen to the ground in a daze, took a while to recover before looking at Lin Tian and asking.

"Extreme Martial Artists, are they really that outrageous?"

"That Blood Essence armor, anyone at our cultivation level would be helpless against it."

He couldn't understand, was the power of Extreme Martial Artists a bit too overpowered?

"That wasn't the power of an Extreme Martial Artist, but rather a special property of the cultivation technique I practice."

After dispelling the Blood Essence armor, Lin Tian was visibly weakened. The Blood Essence armor was only possible with the enhancement of the Heavenly Origin Technique.

Lin Tian then said with a helpless expression.

"I'm still too weak. If I had the cultivation of a Martial Dao Second Layer or practiced a martial skill, this fight would have been much easier."

"Instead of using my Martial Dao First Layer cultivation to crush them."

Lin Tian's words caused the cheering Experimental Class students to stop abruptly. They then looked at Lin Tian with resentment, roaring internally.

"You call yourself weak? And you crushed them with your Martial Dao First Layer cultivation? You're just showing off!"
