The Martial Saint Secret Realm collapsed after its inheritance was obtained, prompting the waiting factions to rush toward the exit. Li Ziyu emerged as the heir, and Tianwei Xing targeted him until Yu Ningmo’s warning was followed by a thunderous challenge from the sky.

• Li Ziyu prepared to flee Tianwei Xing’s attack, but a voice from the sky shouted that Tianwei Xing would die for touching a Magic City University student.

After Ge Yuanzhou and the other principals forced Extreme Path Martial Hall to leave, Li Ziyu returned from the Martial Saint Secret Realm and rested in Jingnan City. He woke to find his strength had advanced, then used the Martial God System to raise his Great Sun Body Tempering Method to Mastery Level.

• Li Ziyu checked his system panel, which showed that the prismatic crystal had raised him to Level Four Peak, and spent the remaining increase to upgrade his Great Sun Body Tempering Method to Mastery Level.

After mastering the Body Tempering Method, Li Ziyu discovered his strength had increased dramatically, but he had little time to test it before the Seed Training Camp began early.

• Zuo Hongyang sent Li Ziyu Radiant Gold Metal as a graduation gift, and Li Ziyu revealed he had already mastered Spiritual Sense.
• Li Ziyu went to the Gravity Room and accepted the staff member’s advice to start at ten times gravity.

Meanwhile, Sun Yuehai demonstrated a powerful Level 9 Battle Skill he had learned to counter Li Ziyu’s speed, leaving Ma Xiong convinced that Sun would win.
