"Very good. Movement Technique can be upgraded to Advanced!"
On the system panel, a plus sign had already appeared beside it.
Li Ziyu did not hesitate for long and directly added it to Movement Technique.

As his thought fell, the words "Intermediate Movement Technique" on the virtual panel in his mind changed to "Advanced."
"Huh? It can be upgraded again?"
"Then keep upgrading Movement Technique for me!"
After Movement Technique rose to Advanced, it could still be upgraded further. Li Ziyu was stunned for a moment, then, without much hesitation, continued tapping Movement Technique.
On the system panel, Intermediate Movement Technique changed into Peak Level Movement Technique.
In an instant.
Li Ziyu felt a warm current surge through both his feet and legs, accompanied by a numb itch and the pain of his muscles being torn apart.
However, the sensation came and went quickly, disappearing after only a moment.
"My legs feel much stronger, and my nerve reactions seem to have improved too."
"Most importantly, my body seems lighter than before?"
Li Ziyu swallowed the energy bar whole in three bites, then exerted himself and stood up.
He hopped around in place, carefully observing the changes in his body.
"My body really is lighter than before."
Li Ziyu thought to himself, then looked down from the fifty-meter-high tower.
Because of the height, the objects on the ground looked much smaller to him.
Li Ziyu moved his foot and directly made a leap of faith, jumping from the fifty-meter tower toward the ground.
His body was parallel to the tower pillar at a ninety-degree angle, as if he were flying downward with his body pressed against the pillar.
If anyone else had been there, their jaw would have dropped in shock.
Plummeting from fifty meters in the air without any protection, the tremendous impact would have crushed even a Level 2 Martial Artist into bloody mud.
Just as Li Ziyu was about to land headfirst, he forcefully tapped one foot backward and kicked the tower pillar beneath him.
With a creak.
That kick found a special point of leverage and instantly changed his headfirst diving posture into a forward charge. Skimming close to the ground, he shot dozens of meters ahead.
Finally, he landed steadily on the ground.
After landing, Li Ziyu did not stop. He exerted strength throughout his body and continued charging forward.
His black figure darted back and forth through the ruins.
He was as fast as a cheetah, yet as nimble as a civet cat.
"Both my speed and my body's agility are at least twice as great as before!"
"If the old me and the current me fought to the death, I probably wouldn't even be able to touch the hem of my clothes."
"Excellent! Apart from Blade Technique, another basic martial skill has reached the peak!"
"Next, I need to cultivate Body Tempering Method to the peak as well!"
"The qi and blood I can obtain in the Fringe Zone is getting less and less. It's time to head to the Outer Zone!"
Li Ziyu fixed his gaze on a direction. With a whoosh, his entire body transformed into a streak of light and vanished from where he stood.
Couldn't find the book by searching its title? Try searching for the author's name instead. Maybe it was simply renamed!
Martial Arts Exam grounds, central area.
In a site that looked like an abandoned park, a haughty figure in golden-yellow combat clothes, with golden hair to match, was circling back and forth with a two-meter-tall ape-type ferocious beast.
The ape's eyes were red, and its arms, thicker than stone pillars, repeatedly hammered toward the golden figure.
Its attacks tore through the air, and every blow could bring down the surrounding walls, sending rubble flying.
But the golden figure was astonishingly fast. Each time, he cleverly dodged the ape's attacks and used his ornate longsword to leave one bloody gash after another across the ape's body.
The ape could only throw back its head and howl, pounding its chest furiously.
"Phew, phew. Damn it, the strength of a Level 1 Advanced ferocious beast, the Great Strength Violent Ape, is far too powerful!"
"If I, Nangong Ao, weren't awakened with Speed Talent and able to dodge the Great Strength Violent Ape's attacks, any other examinee would have been smashed to pieces by it in minutes!"
After circling for a while longer, Nangong Ao stabbed the Great Strength Violent Ape in a vital spot. With a thunderous boom, the Great Strength Violent Ape fell, its face filled with unwillingness.
"Haha, throughout the entire Martial Arts Exam grounds, I, Nangong Ao, am probably the only one who can kill a Level 1 Advanced ferocious beast like the Great Strength Violent Ape!"
"First place in this Martial Arts Exam belongs to none other than me, Nangong Ao!"
"Xia Lin, open your eyes and take a good look at what kind of prodigy I, Nangong Ao, am!"
"Li Ziyu is nothing but a fart in front of a peerless prodigy like me!"
Nangong Ao viciously kicked the Great Strength Violent Ape's corpse, then planted one foot on it, spread his arms toward the sky, and threw his head back in wild laughter.
A moment later.
After indulging in his own conceit.
Nangong Ao turned his gaze to the Points bracelet on his hand and tapped it twice.
A Virtual Projection appeared in midair before him.
Nangong Ao glanced at it and revealed an expression of course.
"First place is indeed me."
"And Xia Lin—her strength isn't bad. Her Points have actually almost caught up with mine. As expected of the woman I, Nangong Ao, have taken a fancy to!"
"Huh? This person named Wang Long is pretty decent too. His Points are actually tied with Xia Lin's."
"However, neither of them poses a threat to me. First place in the Xujiang City Martial Arts Exam is mine, Nangong Ao!"
Nangong Ao looked at it and, after scanning down to tenth place, prepared to close the Points ranking and continue hunting ferocious beasts.
Only examinees within the top ten were worth his attention. Everyone below tenth place was trash to him, utterly unqualified to threaten a prodigy like himself.
However, before closing it, Nangong Ao suddenly thought of something. On a whim, he directly flipped the ranking to the final page.
"Someone with only 0.8 qi and blood actually dares to take the Martial Arts Exam? I want to see just how terrible your ranking is."
"Huh? Li Ziyu's name isn't on the final page. Could he already have been eliminated?"
Nangong Ao searched the final page of the rankings but did not see Li Ziyu's name.
He let out a snort of laughter and was about to close the rankings.
But at the instant before he closed them, Nangong Ao suddenly froze. He rubbed his eyes, then leaned forward to take a closer look.
The ranking displayed the Points of every examinee throughout the entire Martial Arts Exam grounds.
The top fifty positions had not changed much, but suddenly, one name began climbing rapidly.
49.
48.
47.
It rose all the way to ninth place before finally stopping.
As that name rose, the other names were squeezed downward like waves, surging down layer after layer.
Nangong Ao's eyes widened, and he wondered whether he was hallucinating.
Li Ziyu's ranking had actually forced its way into the top ten among tens of thousands of examinees?
Nangong Ao stared at Li Ziyu's name on the rankings with an ugly expression for a long while.
After a moment, the corner of his mouth curled upward, and a playful smile appeared in his eyes.
"Interesting. Truly interesting. Looks like I underestimated you. I was wondering how someone with only 0.8 qi and blood could be worthy of Xia Lin's admiration. So you were hiding your strength!"
"Heh, looks like you're planning to make a name for yourself in the Martial Arts Exam."
"But, unfortunately, you ran into me, Nangong Ao."
"With me, Nangong Ao, here, you'll always be trampled beneath my feet!"
As Nangong Ao thought this, his entire figure transformed into a golden streak of light and charged straight toward the next Great Strength Violent Ape.
