Martial Saint

"Oh, this must be the Gu Jinlai Martial King who joined a few days ago."

When all eyes, Gu Jinlai, fell upon the man, he sensed it and smiled as he cupped his hands in greeting, "I am Jin Yuhai."

Gu Jinlai, however, no one has spoken.

His gaze, however, fell upon the other fourteen Martial Kings.

Yellow Name, Light Red Name, Light Red Name, Yellow Name...

There's even a White Name.

Among a bunch of martial kings with White Name, Yellow Name, and at most Light Red Name, Jin Yuhai's Dark Red Karma was so glaring.

However, his silence in the face of Jin Yuhai's greeting drew the displeasure of a middle-aged man beside him. "This Ancient Martial King has quite the airs. Commander Jin not only possesses the strength of a top-tier Martial King, but is also the eldest son of the Demon Slayer Hall Master Jin. Over the years, he has worked diligently to slay demons and protect Fengyu City, making countless contributions. Now that he's greeting you, can't he even return the greeting?"

"Heh, Brother Ximen, no need to say more. I guess this Ancient Martial King is in a bad mood."

As Jin Yuhai spoke, he gave a polite bow, saying, "King Guwu need not take Brother Ximen's words to heart. Please make yourself at home."

After saying that, he continued to talk with the person next to him.

Meanwhile, the other martial kings also shifted their gaze away from Gu Jinlai and went about their own business.

However, his attitude towards the Gu Jinlai has become noticeably colder.

It is evident that Jin Yuhai enjoys considerable prestige in the eyes of these people.

There has been no comment on this, neither in Gu Jinlai.

He didn't want to know someone whose Karma was so heavy.

Soon, three more people, one in front and two behind, walked in from outside the courtyard.

Walking in front was a man with a cold expression and an aura of coldness.

The other two were clearly deliberately avoiding him, taking a few steps back, which is why they looked like they were following behind him.

His arrival caused the temperature in the courtyard to drop considerably, and people began to huddle together.

Jin Yuhai, however, smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, "Dong Yuji, Brother Dong, I heard that your Moon-Gazing Blade has made another breakthrough. You are only one step away from condensing your martial will to become a peak Martial King. At that time, in terms of combat power, you will probably be comparable to the strongest third-level Celestial Person. This is truly a cause for celebration."

The man glanced at Jin Yuhai but ignored him.

Seeing this, Jin Yuhai smiled slightly and ignored him.

Just then, a loud laugh came from outside the door, "Haha, looks like everyone's here, just waiting for me to take over Dali's turn?"

Immediately afterwards, as a shadow fell, a figure nearly three meters tall walked in.

People who practice martial arts are often very strong and muscular.

The average height of the martial kings present is around two meters, a fact that has remained consistent Gu Jinlai.

However, under normal circumstances, most people rarely allow their bodies to become abnormal.

Maintaining a height of three meters, similar to this man...

Extremely rare.

People of this height either have poor control over their strength, or...

It means it has become so powerful that it has reached a certain limit.

The man clearly belonged to the latter category.

As he stepped into the courtyard, it became even quieter, as if a wild beast had entered its hunting grounds.

Gu Jinlai, a strong stench of blood has been emanating from the air.

And the Karma he carries...

He was even more profound than Jin Yuhai.

"Pan Dali".

Upon seeing this burly man enter, even Jin Yuhai, who usually maintained a good temper, frowned and refused to greet him.

"Oh? A new person has joined?"

Pan Dali's gaze quickly fell on Gu Jinlai. He grinned, and a ferocious look appeared on his face, which looked somewhat rough due to his large size. "What's your name? Where are you from? How many people are left in your family? Tell us what misfortunes you have so we can all have a laugh."

I took a look at the Eastern Imperial Capital and the Golden Imperial Sea from ancient times to the present.

Their conversation reveals that both of them are top-tier martial arts masters.

However, compared to this powerful force, their momentum was significantly weaker.

Clearly, this is someone who has reached the peak of their growth at this stage, and is probably only one step away from the realm of Martial Saint.

"Are you mute or looking down on me, Pan Dali?"

Pan Dali stared at Gu Jinlai and walked over step by step, his massive body exuding a sense of oppression.

"Pan Dali".

At that moment, a voice came from inside the courtyard.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Lie, the vice dean who had received him, came out from inside. "Your martial will is so focused on one thing, I really don't know what you're thinking."

"Haha, it's Dean Yan."

Pan Dali laughed loudly, "Why do we martial artists need so many tricks up our sleeves? Look at that kid from the Yuan family, what do they say outside? He has the heart of a child! Do you know why there is such a big difference between others and me? It's because they think too much and suppress their true nature. The purer and more spontaneous we martial artists are, the easier it is to condense our martial will. I am the best example."

"But you can't build your recklessness on the suffering of others."

Yan Lie gave a reprimand, but he didn't seem to dare to completely offend this stubborn peak Martial King, so he said in a deep voice, "The Dean has just returned, so the lecture on the 20th has been moved up."

"Master!?"

Master of the Martial Saint Academy, Wu Tianya, the Martial Saint Who Protects the Nation!

Faced with this powerful being who was considered to be at the peak of the Saint rank, even Pan Dali quickly restrained his arrogance.

His martial will is ferocious, venting the tyranny and killing intent in his heart, but that doesn't mean he will be blinded by killing and tyranny.

Faced with a terrifying being like the Martial Saint of the Nation, who could easily kill him, he naturally had to restrain his fangs and sharpness.

At that moment, he grinned at Gu Jinlai and said, "Since we are members of the same Martial Saint Academy, we can have a good sparring session later."

After saying that, he sat down in the front seat, forcing the two Martial Kings nearby to move aside without daring to utter a single complaint.

"Truly... there are many powerful individuals among them."

He murmured to himself Gu Jinlai.

The reason why the Qian Heaven and Earth Realm could have such a magnificent scene, and why a battle between five true immortals on land broke out a hundred years ago, was all because of the divine weapons.

Otherwise, how could the Qian Heaven Realm, where even a saint was hard to come by two hundred years ago, suddenly produce so many true immortals on land?

It is precisely because of this peculiar fault phenomenon that there are very few Celestial Person the Qian Heaven, and the number of saints seems to be only slightly more than that of terrestrial immortals.

In reality, only one in twenty or thirty Celestial Person in the Xuanji Sect has the potential to become a saint.

Saints have a slightly higher probability of becoming true immortals on land, but that's because a saint's lifespan is many times that of Celestial Person. If their lifespans were similar, the probability of a saint becoming a true immortal on land would probably be 20 to 30 or more.

He didn't know the probability of King Wu becoming a Martial Saint.

However, if the probability is similar to that of becoming a saint, and considering the number of martial saints, there are probably hundreds of such powerful individuals in Wind and Rain City.

Throughout the entire Holy Dynasty, there are tens of thousands of experts at this level.

With such a powerful holy dynasty, it's no wonder that it could keep the Demonic Beasts army out of its holy land.

Just then, Yan Lie seemed to sense something and suddenly said, "The Dean has arrived."

Instantly, the already quiet scene, which had become somewhat quiet due to Pan Dali's arrival, became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The Martial Kings, who usually needed countless people to fawn over them, sat calmly, their gazes fixed on a futon in front of the courtyard.

Soon, the sound of footsteps approached.

Upon hearing these footsteps, Gu Jinlai could clearly feel his heart pounding.

That feeling...

It's as if your own heartbeat is being affected by an invisible force.

This power...

Gu Jinlai, people have thought of the undying will of saints.

When he faced the Blood Demon Emperor Luo back then, he also felt the same materialized will power of suppression emanating from him.

The only difference is that one affects the mind, while the other affects the martial artist himself.

After a moment of footsteps, an elderly man who appeared to be around 1.8 meters tall and somewhat thin came into view.

The old man had graying temples and looked quite like a wise and virtuous elder.

But when he appeared before Gu Jinlai, he couldn't help but lean forward slightly, his eyes filled with...

Shocking!

Incredible!

"How..."

Gu Jinlai been watching this head of the Martial Saint Academy.

The Dark Red Karma emanating from Jin Yuhai and Pan Dali was already astonishing.

The Martial Saint Academy Master before us, the National Martial Saint who holds the power to teach martial arts in Fengyu City, has even more exaggerated Karma than Jin Yuhai and Pan Dali.

Gu Jinlai, it seems as if one can see pitch-black, fiery Karma enveloping him and burning fiercely, faintly...

He could even hear the wails of countless people emanating from that jet-black, flame-like Karma.

This is...

An unprecedented darkness, unseen in Gu Jinlai.

Even the ambitious True Immortal Palace Master, Blood Demon Emperor Luo, was no match for him in terms of Karma.

"They seem to be from a small place, witnessing the true form of a Martial Saint for the first time, and they don't know much about it."

Pan Dali, Jin Yuhai, and the others sneered inwardly as they watched Gu Jinlai's "making a fuss" expression.

Even the head of the Martial Saint Academy turned his gaze to him.

Although there may be hundreds of Martial Kings and Celestial Person Beings in Wind and Rain City, it is undeniable that they are all, without exception, the backbone of the force and the upper echelons of society.

At that moment, he also nodded slightly to this "newcomer".

Upon Gu Jinlai immediately forced himself to regain his composure.

Even so, he still felt an indescribable chill in his heart.

Having obtained the Green Lotus for six years, he has gained a thorough understanding of Karma.

Those with Light Red Name often have the blood of ten or even dozens of people on their hands.

If it is as Bright Red as blood, then there must have been at least hundreds or thousands of murders.

If it reaches Dark Red, like ink...

That would be a massacre of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.

Based on this, it can be deduced that if it were as black as flame, it would have tainted at least hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of lives, directly or indirectly caused by it.

Keep in mind, the entire Wind and Rain City only has 110 million people.

But now, the head of the Martial Saint Academy, one of the four giants of Wind and Rain City, has such heavy Karma on his body.

"Looking" at the Karma surrounding Wu Tianya, which was as black as flames, one by one, the residual spirituality struggled and howled, but was bound by him and could not be released...

Gu Jinlai, it has felt like falling into an ice cave.
