Geng Xian's mouth twitched upon hearing Lin Tian speak, and he immediately said.

"You are indeed very strong, I concede."

"I don't know how strong you'll be after breaking through to Martial Dao Second Layer, but you're definitely no match for those prodigies in the Imperial Capital."

"Imperial Capital prodigies? Tell me more."

Lin Tian's interest was immediately piqued by these words.

A genius that Geng Xian would call a prodigy must be incredibly powerful.

"What do you think of my strength?"

Geng Xian didn't answer directly, instead asking Lin Tian.

After a moment of thought, Lin Tian replied.

"Your strength should be about the same as Jiang Mingyue's, but your techniques counter hers."

Even Jiang Mingyue herself admitted that she would likely lose if she fought Geng Xian.

"But my strength wouldn't even rank in the top five in the Imperial Capital."

Geng Xian's face was filled with bitterness. There were too many prodigies in the Imperial Capital this year, and geniuses like him couldn't even make it into the top five.

"What, you can't even make it into the top five?!"

The students in the Experimental Class were shocked to hear this. They had witnessed Geng Xian's strength, which had even forced Lin Tian to make some adjustments, wrapping his entire arm in Blood Essence armor.

Yet, such a genius couldn't even rank in the top five in the Imperial Capital.

"Interesting, can you tell me about those guys?"

Lin Tian was also surprised. Geng Xian wasn't weak at all.

"I don't have much information I can share about them."

"But three of them are already at the late stage of Martial Dao Second Layer, and one of them is even about to break through to Martial Dao Third Level."

Geng Xian said with a wry smile.

He himself didn't believe it when he said it, but it was the truth.

"Three at the late stage of Martial Dao Second Layer, with one about to break through to Martial Dao Third Level, are you kidding me, they're monsters."

Jiang Cheng looked incredulous.

Before the college entrance examination, reaching Martial Dao Second Layer was already considered the peak of genius.

But in the Imperial Capital, there were geniuses at the late stage of Martial Dao Second Layer.

"It's not just the Imperial Capital. Haven't you noticed that there are an unusually large number of geniuses born this year, and their talent is even stronger?"

Geng Xian's words reminded the students in the Experimental Class. Even Jiang Mingyue only awakened her Starlight Body after entering her third year of high school.

"The Magic City, the Ancient City, and Jiangnan Province have all produced prodigies at the late stage of Martial Dao Second Layer this year."

"I didn't expect your Qing Province to produce an Extreme Martial Artist."

Geng Xian looked at Lin Tian with envy.

In an era with Extreme Martial Artists, even if other geniuses were heaven-defying, they would only be a foil.

This was proven by the history of the Pioneers of Martial Dao on Earth.

"Lin Tian, as an Extreme Martial Artist, you are strong, but compared to those prodigies, your cultivation level is your weakness."

Geng Xian said with some regret. He was actually looking forward to seeing Lin Tian contend with those prodigies.

"We'll just have to wait until we get into Martial Dao University."

Lin Tian said indifferently.

Dragon Country was vast, with each province equivalent to the largest country in the previous life. Therefore, the college entrance examination only selected the top scorer for each province.

As for the national top scorer, it hadn't appeared for over a thousand years, and Dragon Country was unwilling to expend such great human and material resources to award such a title.

"I actually hope they can maintain this lead. That way, it might actually pique my interest a little."

Lin Tian felt a sense of anticipation. According to Geng Xian, someone in the Imperial Capital was very likely to break through to Martial Dao Third Level by the time of the college entrance examination.

He was eager to spar with such a genius.

"The Blood Essence standard for Martial Dao Third Level is one thousand points. Even for me, it would take a month of focused cultivation to break through to Martial Dao Third Level."

"Truly a prodigy."

Lin Tian had to admire the prodigy from the Imperial Capital.

He could achieve such a cultivation speed with the help of the Heavenly Origin Technique, and he might even gain some cultivation through the sign-in system along the way.

That prodigy from the Imperial Capital was cultivating purely on his own.

"There are many aristocratic families in the Imperial Capital, and powerful families have special cultivation techniques. It's likely that those prodigies are in a similar situation."

Seeing Lin Tian fall silent, Jiang Mingyue spoke up to explain. She thought Lin Tian was discouraged by what he heard.

"So they have cultivation techniques."

If you like this book and don't want to lose it, remember to add it to your bookshelf.

Lin Tian had a sudden realization.

Geng Xian, now a defeated opponent, could only reluctantly remain in the Experimental Class at Qing City First High School.

He had nowhere to go in the Imperial Capital, and after coming to Qing Province, Lin Tian had defeated him. If this news got back to the Imperial Capital, he would surely be laughed at by others.

"It seems I need to spend the remaining time cultivating."

At night, in the teachers' apartment, Lin Tian was circulating the Heavenly Origin Technique.

He was still very interested in that monstrous talent from the Imperial Capital who was at the Martial Dao Third Level.

"Dragon Country's Four Great Universities, which one should I choose?"

Even now, he hadn't decided which Martial Dao University he wanted to attend.

The Dragon Country's Four Great Universities all had similar resources. It didn't matter which one he chose; the most important thing was whether it was suitable for him.

"I really need to see what kind of conditions they can offer."

Lin Tian cultivated until the early morning this time.

"System, sign in."

He was waiting for this sign-in reward.

"Ding, sign-in successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the martial skill Blood Devouring Armor."

"Martial skill Blood Devouring Armor?"

Lin Tian was a little surprised that this sign-in reward was a martial skill.

He immediately checked the usage method of this martial skill.

"It actually requires burning one's own Blood Essence. What a strange martial skill."

The introduction to Blood Devouring Armor stated that to use this martial skill, one needed to burn their own Blood Essence as a medium to form a tough set of armor.

The strength of this armor depended on how much Blood Essence was burned.

"Blood Essence is precisely the greatest advantage of an Extreme Martial Artist. This Blood Devouring Armor is perfect for me."

The Blood Essence of an Extreme Martial Artist far surpassed that of martial artists of the same cultivation level, and the burned Blood Essence could be recovered after a period of rest.

This was a martial skill tailor-made for Extreme Martial Artists.

"Blood Devouring Armor strengthens my Blood Essence defense, but it's still just a defensive measure. My offensive methods are still lacking. Am I relying on physical strength?"

After thinking for a moment, Lin Tian entered the Small World.

"The Small World has changed a bit, but it's still bare."

Looking at the small patch of green on the ground in the Small World, Lin Tian knew that Fancang Martial Saint was responsible for it.

But the other areas were still barren. There was only this bit of greenery on the ground in the Small World. Not even a single tree could be seen, let alone any buildings.

Then, Lin Tian said to Fancang Martial Saint.

"Fancang, do you have any suitable physical offensive techniques?"

"And teach me some skills as well."

In the Small World, there was a ready-made Martial Saint teacher. A Martial Saint's instruction would be much better than him exploring on his own.

"Yes, Heavenly Lord!"

In Qing City, at the Li Family residence, an old man was looking at the report from his subordinate.

"I asked you to investigate the cause of Xiao Ming's and his father's deaths, why did you bring me a student's information?"

The old man was somewhat enraged. His son and most beloved grandson were dead, and his subordinate was not even following his orders.

"Patriarch, this Lin Tian is an Extreme Martial Artist."

The subordinate said fearfully.

"Lin Tian, an Extreme Martial Artist? Wasn't that the person who attacked Xiao Ming when he entered high school?"

"He wasn't a cripple? How could he be an Extreme Martial Artist?"

The old man questioned angrily, and a powerful aura emanated from him, directly pinning the reporting subordinate to the ground.

"Patriarch, it's all true! Lin Tian is an Extreme Martial Artist. All the third-year students and teachers at Yicheng Second Middle School witnessed it."

"An Extreme Martial Artist, and a kid who has a grudge against Xiao Ming..."

"He was a cripple last month, how could he become an Extreme Martial Artist in just one month?"

The old man's expression became somewhat frenzied.

"Lin Tian, Lin Tian!"

"Xiao Ming is dead, why are you still alive, you cripple!"
