Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
The Phantom Wolves in the Abyssal Depths had already been wiped out, and even the Dung Ball Beasts were cleanly eliminated by Chu Sheng.
Chu Sheng sat cross-legged on the ground, letting out a long sigh.
"Phew, finally enough..."
Immediately, a blue panel unfolded in his field of vision.
"Here we go, my hard work!"
[Ding]
[Consumed 3000 Justice Points]
[Your martial arts cultivation has been elevated to Qi Sea Realm First Layer]
The moment the text appeared, a roar erupted from Chu Sheng's dantian.
The scattered spiritual energy within wildly converged towards his dantian, gradually forming a crystal-clear vortex.
The vortex spun faster and faster, absorbing more and more spiritual energy.
It eventually took the shape of an "ocean."
With that, the gates to the Qi Sea Realm were forcefully blown open!
A warrior's life is filled with countless bottlenecks.
Opening the Qi Sea is one of them.
Countless warriors struggle for half their lives without managing to enter this realm, limited by their aptitude, resources, or even luck.
It can be said that the Qi Sea Realm is a watershed moment for a warrior.
And Chu Sheng had easily strode past it.
Moreover, he had far surpassed the top geniuses of his generation. The highest ranked scholars in Da Xia's annual college entrance exams only reached the Meridian Opening Seventh or Eighth Layer.
Chu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, a hidden flicker of lightning within them.
"So this is the Qi Sea Realm?"
He casually raised his palm, and instantly, lightning erupted!
The range of the Thunderous Sea had increased significantly, and its power was even greater. Although it consumed more true qi, the moment the Qi Sea was opened, Chu Sheng's true qi reserves had increased severalfold.
Furthermore, the quality of his true qi was several notches higher than before. While he could only use it once in the Meridian Opening Realm, he could now use it three times consecutively with no major issues.
The spiritual energy ripples caused strong winds to whip up within a hundred-meter radius. Chu Sheng's clothes fluttered in the wind, and amidst the lightning, he appeared like an ancient deity.
The system notification popped up again.
[You have accumulated a total of 25000 Justice Points]
[LV3 Justice Gift Pack has been unlocked for you]
[Upon accumulating 250000 Justice Points, LV4 Justice Gift Pack will be unlocked for you]
It's better to enjoy gifts sooner rather than later. Moreover, Chu Sheng had found this S-rank talent an eyesore from the start.
[Congratulations on obtaining the SSS-rank talent promotion stone]
[Congratulations on obtaining the top-grade Enlightenment Pill]
"An SSS-rank talent promotion stone, it can upgrade any talent to SSS-rank with no side effects and can be gifted to others to gain their favor."
Gift it? Chu Sheng realized his system was likely a bit faulty. For instance, the previous Body Tempering Tenth Level almost turned him into a cripple. Now, it was offering an SSS-rank talent promotion stone to be gifted away. What a joke, good things should be used by oneself!
"Promotion stone, activate!!!"
[Ding]
[Your S-rank martial talent, Thunderous Hegemon Body, has been upgraded to SSS-rank Thunderous Saint Body]
Is it okay to hide your aura?
"Get lost."
The next second, a thunderous roar erupted.
Lightning, even more violent than last time, descended.
The entire Baian City was covered in dark clouds, and the sky suddenly turned gloomy.
Above the Abyssal Depths.
After a moment of stunned silence, the members of the Abyss Quelling Department...
"Holy crap, it's happening again!?"
Last time, someone awakened an S-class talent. Could it be that this time someone awakened an SS-class talent?
Is Baian City really going to make a comeback?
The high school students in the city became even more frantic.
Because, the power went out!!!
Darkness, power outage, plus thunder and lightning, isn't this the perfect time to go crazy?
Especially the seniors in high school.
The martial arts exam is less than ten days away, and the academic exams only have a week left.
Utter madness!!!
Baian Second High School, Class Four.
After heaven and earth returned to clarity, the homeroom teacher, Li Ming, shook his head helplessly as he looked at the chaotic students below.
The students didn't understand what had happened.
But he understood it perfectly.
Amidst the violent and destructive lightning, there was a faint sense of order.
Most likely, someone had awakened a lightning-element martial arts talent, and a very high-level one at that.
The gap between people is truly vast.
It's like an unbridgeable chasm stretching before one's eyes.
But these students still don't know...
If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.
Perhaps when they enter society and experience its harsh realities.
They will realize.
Destiny is predetermined; thirty percent is effort, and the remaining ninety-seven percent is background.
Some people are destined for greatness.
Just like...
Ling Ming shook his head, thinking of Chu Sheng.
The young man who rose from humble beginnings and soared into the sky in an instant.
Even a genius like him might feel ashamed before such talent...
There's always someone better, and there's always a higher mountain to climb.
Ling Ming's only wish was for Chu Sheng to fly even higher.
To see the scenery from a higher place, on his behalf and on behalf of the students of Class Four.
Opening Meridian Fifth Layer, special admission to Dragon Martial Academy, tsk tsk—
What merit do I have to have taught such an amazing student...
"Ahem, alright, are you not done going crazy yet?"
"Make sure to keep the voluntary withdrawal forms for the martial arts exam that I handed out. Take them home and discuss them with your parents."
"For those below Body Tempering Fourth Level, I sincerely suggest you pursue liberal arts."
"The path of martial arts is not suitable for you."
The air in the classroom became instantly more oppressive.
After the brief frenzy, they still had to face reality.
Without reaching Body Tempering Fourth Level, they didn't even have the qualifications to continue practicing martial arts.
Even if they participated in the martial arts exam against their better judgment, they would most likely die by the mouths of demonic beasts.
Those who were lucky enough to survive would not meet the enrollment qualifications for third-rate academies.
This was another type of divergence.
It was helpless, but what could be done?
Many people thought of Chu Sheng.
"Opening Meridian Fifth Layer, if only I could get some of his cultivation..."
"By the way, Old Ban, what just happened?"
"It must be someone who got lucky and awakened lightning-element martial arts talent. That's like their ancestors' graves smoking with auspicious vapor; even Chu Sheng would be envious. We can just watch."
Mentioning Chu Sheng, someone asked again.
"Old Ban, is Chu Sheng coming back to take graduation photos?"
"I'm not sure, I'll ask later."
Although Chu Sheng had transferred to the elite class before, it was only in the last month.
He had spent over two years with the members of Class Four.
Naturally, he was still considered one of them.
Meanwhile, in the Abyssal Depths.
Chu Sheng closed his eyes and felt with concentration.
"Thunderous Saint Body, truly powerful!"
[Thunderous Saint Body]
Trait 1: Lightning Control
Greatly increases the cultivation speed and destructive power of lightning-element cultivation methods and martial arts, and grants complete immunity to lightning damage.
Trait 2: Divine Lightning Body Tempering
Greatly enhances strength, speed, and defense, making physical strength far exceed that of martial artists of the same level.
Trait 3: Indestructible Lightning Body
Possesses powerful vitality, accelerating the metabolism and repair of body cells. Even severe injuries can be rapidly healed.
Although it only had three traits, the Thunderous Saint Body was no weaker than Blade Mastery.
Especially the third trait, Indestructible Lightning Body.
Simply put, as long as he wasn't dead, he could maintain peak combat strength at all times!
Broken arms and legs could also be recovered.
Its practicality was directly maxed out!
"There's also a top-grade Enlightenment Pill, which can directly upgrade a martial art by a major tier..."
Chu Sheng currently mastered three martial arts.
Rippling Wave Fist (Yellow Grade, Mid-tier)
Spirit Wind Saber Technique (Mysterious Grade, Mid-tier)
Violet Lightning Piercing Clouds (Earth Grade, Mid-tier)
Being able to directly upgrade by a major tier, naturally, an Earth Grade martial art was the most suitable.
Violet Lightning Piercing Clouds also matched him extremely well, and crucially, it was very cool.
Let's do it, brothers!
After swallowing the Enlightenment Pill.
Chu Sheng's spiritual platform violently trembled!
[Ding]
[Violet Lightning Piercing Clouds has been promoted to Sky Grade, Mid-tier - Violet Dragon Embrace Art]
A profound aura permeated the air.
Chu Sheng's body was enveloped in a faint purple halo.
Taking a step forward, myriad violet lightning bolts converged like embracing dragons.
Wherever he passed, the air exploded with ripples.
Previously, he could at most take a few meters. After the promotion, although still proficient, the distance had increased to over ten meters.
Looking at the spiderweb-like scorch marks cracking the ground where he landed.
Chu Sheng was slightly pleased.
This was no longer a simple movement martial art. Such terrifying speed, combined with other martial arts, would unleash astonishing bursts of power!
"Tsk tsk."
"I can head to the Jingwu Bureau to take a look."
Chu Sheng had planned to set off tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he exited the Abyssal Depths, he saw over ten missed calls from Wu Qingshan on his phone.
What happened?
