Name: Li Ziyu.

Realm: Level 1 Advanced Martial Artist (+).

Combat Skills: Advanced Savage Bull Body Tempering Method (+), Vajra Body (+), Gale Blade Technique (+), Peak Blade Technique (+), Intermediate Movement Technique (+).

System: Martial God System.

Function: Can absorb all things to enhance Qi and Blood. Other functions are to be discovered by the host.

"Very good, my Movement Technique can be upgraded to Advanced!"

On the system panel, a plus sign had appeared next to the Movement Technique.

Li Ziyu didn't hesitate and directly allocated the upgrade to his Movement Technique.

Name: Li Ziyu.

Realm: Level 1 Advanced Martial Artist (+).

Combat Skills: Advanced Savage Bull Body Tempering Method (+), Advanced Movement Technique (+), Vajra Body (+), Gale Blade Technique (+), Peak Blade Technique (+).

System: Martial God System.

Function: Can absorb all things to enhance Qi and Blood. Other functions are to be discovered by the host.

As his thought settled, the words "Intermediate Movement Technique" on the virtual panel in his mind changed to "Advanced."

"Huh? I can still upgrade it?"

"Then keep upgrading my Movement Technique!"

After his Movement Technique reached the Advanced level, it could still be upgraded again. Li Ziyu was stunned for a moment, then without any hesitation, he continued to put points into it.

On the system panel, the Intermediate Movement Technique became Peak Level Movement Technique.

In an instant.

Li Ziyu felt a warmth surge through his feet and legs, accompanied by a tingling numbness and the pain of torn muscles.

However, this sensation came and went quickly, disappearing after only a moment.

"My legs feel stronger, and my nerve reflexes seem to have improved too."

"Most importantly, my body feels lighter than before?"

Li Ziyu quickly swallowed the energy fruit and stood up with a surge of strength.

He hopped in place, carefully observing the changes in his body.

"My body is indeed lighter than before," Li Ziyu mused, then looked down from the fifty-meter tower.

Due to the height, the objects on the ground appeared much smaller in his eyes.

Li Ziyu moved his feet and leaped off the fifty-meter tower towards the ground.

His entire body was parallel to the tower's pillar at a ninety-degree angle, as if he were flying down along the pillar.

If anyone else were present, they would surely have been shocked speechless.

Falling fifty meters from such a height without any protection, the immense impact force would have turned even a Level 2 Martial Artist into a pulp.

Just as Li Ziyu was about to hit the ground headfirst, he forcefully pushed off the tower pillar beneath him with one foot.

With a creak.

This kick, utilizing a special point of leverage, instantly changed his head-down dive into a forward charge, allowing him to skim the ground and dart forward dozens of meters.

He finally landed firmly on the ground.

After landing, Li Ziyu didn't stop. He exerted his full strength and continued to charge forward.

His black silhouette weaved back and forth through the ruins.

His speed was like a leopard's, but his agility was like a civet cat's.

"Both my speed and my body's agility have at least doubled compared to before!"

"If my past self were to fight my current self to the death, he probably wouldn't even be able to touch my clothes."

"Excellent! Besides my blade technique, another basic martial skill has reached the peak!"

"The next step is to train the Body Tempering Method to its peak as well!"

"I'm getting less and less Qi and Blood from the edge zone; it's time to head to the outer zone!"

Li Ziyu fixed his gaze in one direction and, with a whoosh, transformed into a streak of light, disappearing from his original spot.

If you can't find the book by its title, you can try searching for the author; perhaps the title has been changed!

Martial Arts Examination venue, central area.

In a field that looked like an abandoned park, a defiant figure clad in golden combat attire, with matching golden hair, was circling and engaging a beast that was two meters tall and ape-like.

The ape, with bloodshot eyes, swung its arms, which were thicker than stone pillars, at the golden figure.

The attacks tore through the air, each one capable of causing nearby walls to collapse and debris to fly.

But that golden figure's speed was incredibly fast. Each time, it skillfully dodged the ape's attacks, leaving bloody gashes on the ape with its elegant longsword.

This caused the ape to roar at the sky and pound its chest in a frenzy.

"Phew, phew, damn it, the strength of a Great Strength Violent Ape, a Grade 1 High-level Demonic Beast, is too much!"

"If I, Nangong Ao, weren't a Speed Talent awakener and able to dodge the Great Strength Violent Ape's attacks, any other examinee would be crushed by the Great Strength Violent Ape in minutes!"

After circling for a moment longer, Nangong Ao struck a vital spot of the Great Strength Violent Ape with his sword. With a rumble, the Great Strength Violent Ape fell, its face filled with unwillingness.

"Haha, I, Nangong Ao, must be the only one in the entire Martial Arts Examination venue who can kill a Great Strength Violent Ape, a Grade 1 High-level Demonic Beast!"

"The first place in this Martial Arts Examination is undeniably mine!"

"Xia Lin, open your eyes and see clearly what kind of prodigy I, Nangong Ao, am!"

"Li Ziyu is nothing compared to a peerless prodigy like me!"

Nangong Ao fiercely kicked the Great Strength Violent Ape's corpse, then stepped onto it, throwing his arms to the sky and laughing wildly.

A moment later.

After his narcissism subsided.

Nangong Ao's gaze shifted to the point bracelet on his wrist, tapping it twice.

A virtual projection appeared in the air before him.

Nangong Ao glanced at it, adopting a look of "it's only natural."

"First place is indeed me."

"Also, Xia Lin, your strength is not bad. Your points are almost catching up to mine. As expected of the woman I, Nangong Ao, have my eyes on!"

"Oh, this person called Wang Long is also quite strong, his points are actually on par with Xia Lin's."

"However, none of them pose a threat to me. The first place in the Xujiang City Martial Arts Examination is mine, Nangong Ao, for sure!"

Nangong Ao looked on, and after scanning past the tenth position, he prepared to close the point leaderboard to continue hunting demonic beasts.

Only the examinees within the top ten were worth his attention; those outside the top ten were trash to him, completely unqualified to threaten his prodigy status.

However, before closing it, Nangong Ao suddenly remembered something. On a whim, he directly flipped the leaderboard to the last page.

"With Qi and Blood at only 0.8, you dare to participate in the Martial Arts Examination. I'd like to see how low your ranking is."

"Huh? Li Ziyu's name isn't on the last page. Could it be that he's already been eliminated?"

Nangong Ao searched the last page of the leaderboard, but he didn't see Li Ziyu's name.

He chuckled and was about to close the leaderboard.

But at the moment of closing, Nangong Ao suddenly froze, couldn't help but rub his eyes, and leaned his head forward to get a closer look.

The leaderboard displayed the points of all examinees in the entire Martial Arts Examination venue.

The top fifty rankings had not changed much, but suddenly, a name's rank began to rise continuously.

49.

48.

47.

It stopped moving only when it reached the ninth position.

As this name ascended, the other names were pushed down like waves, flipping downwards layer by layer.

Nangong Ao's eyes widened, thinking he was hallucinating.

Li Ziyu's ranking, among tens of thousands of examinees, had directly entered the top ten?

Nangong Ao stared at Li Ziyu's name on the leaderboard with a displeased expression for a long time.

After a moment, the corner of his mouth curved into an arc, and a playful smile appeared in his eyes:

"Interesting, very interesting. It seems I underestimated you. I was wondering how someone with only 0.8 Qi and Blood could be worthy of Xia Lin's attention. So, you were hiding your strength!"

"Heh heh, it seems you were planning to make a stunning debut in the Martial Arts Examination."

"But, I'm sorry, you've run into me, Nangong Ao."

"With me, Nangong Ao, around, you will forever be stepped on by me!"

As Nangong Ao thought this, his entire figure turned into a golden streak of light and directly charged towards the next Great Strength Violent Ape.

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid not finding it next time.
