An Unexpected Eleventh Heaven-Chosen! (Two-in-One, Please Follow)

Zhang Xuan erupted with ferocity the moment he stepped onto the stage, defeating the Military Department martial artist with clean, decisive strikes to successfully secure a spot for the expedition!

"Hiss, terrifying!"

"Why do I feel like Zhang Xuan's strength is even greater than Han Xu, who has undergone Triple Bone Honing?"

"Could it be that Zhang Xuan spent a year in seclusion just to be invincible among his peers?!"

"Zhang Xuan's explosive power is too strong; that single blade strike must have unleashed nearly 200 cal of vitality!"

"Not only that, his speed was incredibly fast—so fast that blade shadows appeared!"

"If that's the case, doesn't that mean Zhang Xuan's vitality is over 300 cal? How is this possible!!!"

An ordinary Rank-1 martial artist has a vitality value between 180 and 250 cal.

Exceptional Rank-1 martial artists, such as Han Xu and Fang Ping who have undergone Triple Bone Honing, as well as mutated prodigies like Wang Jinyang, all possess vitality values exceeding 300 cal at the Rank-1 realm, surpassing even average Rank-2 martial artists.

Yet, Zhang Xuan is only a Rank-1 martial artist with a single bone honing, and his vitality is already over 300 cal!

It is simply inhuman!

Seeing this scene, Fang Ping and Han Xu were shocked to the core!

"Is this the true value of the first prodigy to make it onto the Human Realm Heavenly Pride Ranking? It really is terrifying!"

"I truly cannot imagine Zhang Xuan's future!"

"Zhang Xuan is definitely not right!"

Fang Ping's mind was shaken; he was genuinely stunned by Zhang Xuan!

An explosive output of 200 cal of vitality in a single strike!

It was too monstrous!

At most, he could only unleash 80 cal of power in a single strike right now!

Yet Zhang Xuan's explosive power was more than double his own!

It was simply too strong!

However, Fang Ping also had his own advantages.

Others might become sluggish after a few strikes, but he could swing his blade continuously; his vitality of over 300 cal was enough to support him in slashing three or four times in a row.

If he used the system to replenish his vitality, swinging his blade a hundred times in a row would be a breeze!

But Zhang Xuan had no system, yet he had managed to cultivate to such a level relying solely on the talent of a single bone honing!

It was simply unimaginable!

Wang Jinyang was also somewhat surprised; he knew Zhang Xuan's foundation was very solid and thick, but he hadn't expected it to be this solid!

"200 cal in one strike—even a mid-stage Rank-3 martial artist could be killed by Zhang Xuan if they were careless!"

"Among the Rank-1 realm, Zhang Xuan will be hard to match!"

Wang Jinyang was very surprised, but he also felt happy for Zhang Xuan.

In this way, Zhang Xuan would surely be able to sweep through the Rank-1 matches.

Although Zhang Xuan's performance was extremely eye-catching, Fang Ping and the others didn't dwell on it too much, as it would soon be their turn to take the stage.

On the other side of the arena, Fu Changding successfully secured his spot.

"Fang Ping, good luck!"

Fang Ping took a deep breath, nodded, and stepped onto the stage.

As soon as he stepped onto the arena, Fang Ping moved his feet instantly, let out a roar, and brought his long blade down in a fierce hack!

The Military Department martial artist, who had been cultivating his upper limb bones, hurriedly raised his blade to block!

He hadn't expected Fang Ping to start fighting the moment he arrived; his speed was inferior to Fang Ping's, so with nowhere to dodge, he had no choice but to meet the attack head-on!

The long blade moved like a shadow, and three clanging sounds rang out!

Following that, Fang Ping launched a kick into the air, sending the Military Department martial artist tumbling off the stage.

Fang Ping panted, a smile appearing on his face.

He had won!

"Damn, another explosive monster!"

"Fang Ping is an explosive-type martial artist, while Han Xu is an assassin-type; both have their own strengths and weaknesses!"

"Explosive-type martial artists are at a disadvantage. Once the burst ends, there will inevitably be a period of weakness, and they will be in danger during that time!"

"With such an outburst, they will definitely win the first match, but it will be difficult to compete in subsequent rounds. It is better to conserve vitality while winning through surprise and grinding the opponent down!"

"With Zhang Xuan and Fang Ping exploding like this... could it be that they only intend to fight one or two matches before admitting defeat at the Three Realms Martial Arts Tournament?"

The Three Realms Martial Arts Tournament features individual and team points, with participants taking the stage one by one until only one remains.

If someone concedes, the next person in line takes the stage.

To earn a high individual score, one must win multiple matches; a single person can fight a maximum of 10 matches.

(Do not overthink the competition format; for the low-grade realm, just imagine them taking the stage to fight one by one, while the mid-grade realm involves a chaotic battle in a secret realm.)

However, with the fighting styles of Zhang Xuan and Fang Ping, they could hardly last for many matches.

The crowd shook their heads, unable to understand the thoughts of these prideful martial artists.

Perhaps they still had trump cards hidden up their sleeves, who could say.

Soon, the selection matches concluded.

Fang Ping, Fu Changding, Zhao Lei, and Chen Jiasheng all won.

Their strength was already formidable, and after undergoing special training, shedding blood, and receiving rewards from the Sky Screen these past few days, it would have been more surprising if they had lost!

In the Third-Grade selection matches, Qin Fengqing and Ling Yiyi both successfully secured their spots for the expedition.

In the Fourth-Grade selection matches, Wang Jinyang took out his opponent with three strikes, winning with ease.

Li Hansong and Yao Chengjun also won just as easily.

Seeing that Fang Ping and the others had all won their selection matches, Zhang Tao, Li Zhen, and Nan Yunyue said no more.

Martial artists must fight for their own path; since they had earned their spots for the expedition, they could not be forced to stay behind.

They had already proven they possessed the strength to fight against treacherous and vicious enemies.

Since they had made their choice, the outcome would depend entirely on them.

Rumble!

The Sky Screen shimmered with golden light, and the twelfth place on the Three Realms Heavenly Pride Ranking: Human Realm List appeared!

"This young lady is about to make the list!"

Ling Yiyi rubbed her hands together, patted her small chest, and stared at the Sky Screen with burning eyes.

Han Xu sighed inwardly; the violent girl was about to make the list, and she was even ranking above him.

Once Senior Brother Li graduates, is Jingwu really going to become her domain?!

"The prideful martial artist on the list this time must be from Jingwu again!"

"Since both are Triple Bone Honing, Han Xu made the list, so it should be Fang Ping's turn this time, right?"

"Xie Lei from Magic Martial University is also Triple Bone Honing; I wonder if he can make the list."

"..."

[Three Realms Heavenly Pride Ranking: Human Realm List, Twelfth Place: Capital Martial University, Ling Yiyi!]

"Jingwu is thriving!"

"Another martial artist from Jingwu; Jingwu is the true number one elite university!"

"What does winning by quantity matter? Quality is the foundation!"

"The obscure little sister Ling actually made the list? Impressive!"

"Wait, if Third-Grade Ling Yiyi made the list, does that mean Fang Ping and Xie Lei failed to make it?"

"Perhaps their rankings are even higher!"

"Hehehe, a human female martial artist? If I encounter her, I will surely make her wish she were dead!"

"Just another person about to die; add one more to the Death Ranking!"

"..."

Ling Yiyi held her head high and puffed out her chest, looking like a proud, fierce, and adorable little girl.

"It is finally this young lady's turn to shake the Three Realms!"

As a Third-Grade martial artist, Ling Yiyi's reputation in the martial arts world had not been prominent before.

It was not because she was weak, but because she had been busy killing enemies in the Earth Cave!

She had entered and exited the Capital Earth Cave dozens of times, slaughtering countless enemies, killing at least a hundred Third-Grade martial artists, if not more!

She did not even fear Fourth-Grade high-stage or peak-stage Earth Cave martial artists!

[Ling Yiyi, currently Third-Grade, possesses a strong and competitive nature, a fiery temper, and is outwardly tough but inwardly straightforward. With an excellent family background and outstanding talent, she is a martial artist who has undergone two bone honings!

Ling Yiyi, the number one Third-Grade martial artist at Capital Martial University!

She has entered and exited the Earth Cave dozens of times, killed hundreds of enemies there, and possesses a condensed aura of slaughter!

Later, she used her peak Third-Grade status to slay a Fourth-Grade high-stage Earth Cave martial artist, ranking first on the Martial University Third-Grade Ranking!

The Future Human King sought to walk the path of Third-Grade invincibility, and Ling Yiyi also sought to walk the path of Third-Grade invincibility; when the two met, a great battle for the title of Third-Grade number one was imminent!

To seize the opportunity to make money, the Future Human King had the media hail her as the number one beauty in the martial arts world, and even spread rumors and stirred up trouble!

In the Third-Grade battle, Ling Yiyi and the Future Human King were evenly matched, losing only by a slight margin!]

Afterward, Ling Yiyi was hoodwinked into the service of the Future Human King. With the help of the Future Human King and forces like Jingwu, she relied on her competitive and unyielding personality to break through all the way!

During the war of the Three Realms, the "Jingwu's Strongest" Ling Yiyi wielded a giant axe, single-handedly slaughtering an Emperor Venerable of the Monster race, and even fought three Emperors alone, forcing them into a steady retreat!

In the end, she burned her Great Dao to fulfill the Martial King Zhang Tao.

"Holy crap, another female Demon Lord!"

"I can't believe it, Ling Yiyi was actually able to fight the Future Human King to a draw, only losing by a slight margin!"

"Strong, too strong! None of the female martial artists on the Heavenly Pride Ranking are pushovers; they are all Demon Lord-level prodigies!"

"With Han Xu and Ling Yiyi, Jingwu will not decline for a hundred years!"

"Fighting three Emperors alone! Although Ling Yiyi has a petite and cute figure, she is exceptionally ferocious!"

"This girl actually dares to slaughter the martial artists of our God Continent; I will kill her!"

"Number one at Rank Three? Ridiculous!"

"If she enters the Earth Cave, I will certainly make her understand what it means to be number one at Rank Three!"

"Heh heh... pity that this girl's life will be short-lived!"

"..."

Human Realm, Capital Base, Han Xu looked at Ling Yiyi and gasped!

This violent maniac is actually this strong?!

She can actually contend with the Future Human King!

"Hahahaha, this young lady is the strongest in Jingwu! The number one beauty in the martial arts world!"

Li Hansong looked at the laughing Ling Yiyi with a helpless expression.

The number one beauty in the martial arts world... that was just a rumor started by others, yet Ling Yiyi actually took it seriously!?

How absurd!

Besides, "Jingwu's Strongest" was in quotation marks.

Given the Sky Screen's personality, it was definitely meant as a tease; Ling Yiyi was certainly not the strongest in Jingwu.

However, to be fair, Ling Yiyi's strength was indeed very high.

Among the Rank Three group, she was one of the top-tier powerhouses.

Han Xu gazed at the Sky Screen, his expression slightly strange.

He remembered that when the Sky Screen introduced him, it said he had been hoodwinked by the Future Human King.

Ling Yiyi had also been hoodwinked by the Future Human King.

Is the Future Human King really that good at hoodwinking people?

He is truly worthy of being the man who inherited the Shame of the True Kings!

Earth Cave, Ji Yao looked at the Sky Screen, her beautiful eyes flickering.

"The female martial artists of the Human Realm are not bad!"

They were almost all Demon Lord-level martial artists.

If they were on the same side, perhaps she could have become friends with them?

Nearby, an Earth Cave martial artist sneered, his voice filled with murderous intent and provocation.

"Haha, I have long wanted the head of a human woman as an ornament; Ling Yiyi is just right!"

"Hmph, this girl has slaughtered hundreds of our God Continent's martial artists!

If I encounter her, I will definitely make her feel what fear is!"

"Heh, a Rank Three martial artist, nothing but an ant!"

"Hahahaha, they are yours, but the head of the Future Human King belongs to me!"

"..."

Martial artists from the Earth Cave, Heaven Beyond Heaven, and other factions were unbridled, as if slaughtering human prodigies was as easy as taking something out of a bag.

The genius martial artists of the Earth Cave Forbidden Zone and the forces like Heaven Beyond Heaven had never fought against human martial artists.

In their eyes, the human lineage was incomplete, their combat techniques were trash, their resources were scarce, and they were incomparably weak!

Meanwhile, they were martial artists under Great Emperors and True Kings, so they must be stronger than human martial artists.

In the distance, King Huai listened to the unbridled laughter of the crowd and sneered silently.

A bunch of arrogant, conceited fools!

If human martial artists were truly weak, the Earth Cave would have already invaded the Human Realm!

King Huai reckoned that King Ming's conspiracy this time was bound to fail.

Humanity's prodigies were not so easily slaughtered.

This was no longer the era of the Ancient Martial Artists from a thousand years ago.

Among the prodigies of the Three Realms, the human prodigies were likely the strongest within the same rank!

On the other side of the Earth Cave, The expressions of King Ming, King Feng, and the others changed in an instant!

Ling Yiyi was competing with the Future Human King for the title of the number one Rank-3!

Yet, Ling Yiyi was currently a Rank-3 martial artist.

And for her to be called the number one Rank-3 of Jingwu, she had to be a high-stage or peak Rank-3 martial artist!

In that case...

"The Future Human King is not a Rank-1 martial artist!"

King Feng's gaze turned cold: "The Future Human King must be a member of the new generation, but he is definitely not a Rank-1 martial artist!"

It was impossible that the Future Human King, who was a Rank-1 martial artist just now, had broken through to the peak of Rank-3 in a few months, while Ling Yiyi had been stuck stagnating at Rank-3 the whole time, right?!

How could that be possible!

The Future Human King was absolutely not a Rank-1 martial artist at this moment!

"Damn it! The Sky Screen almost misled us!"

King Feng's gaze was gloomy as he said coldly:

"We must pay attention to the human Rank-1 martial artists, and even more so to the talented Rank-2 martial artists!"

King Ming's eyes were icy: "Just in case, we cannot let a single human prodigy go!"

"Spare no cost! Even if it means having our subordinates self-destruct, we must slaughter them all!"

"If anyone admits defeat, have our subordinates provoke and insult them!"

"Hot-blooded prodigies will surely be unable to withstand the provocation and mockery."

King Gan frowned: "Do not provoke them excessively!"

Life and death were determined by fate on the arena, but if they provoked them excessively off the arena, how could the human powerhouses remain indifferent?!

If a non-True God martial artist died, so be it.

But what if Heaven Suppressing King, Martial King Zhang Tao, Underworld King Li Zhen, and the others were enraged, sparking a war between Emperor Venerables and Heavenly Kings, and insisted on killing True Gods, Emperor Venerables, or even Heavenly King-level powerhouses to establish their authority?

Feng glanced at King Ming, King Feng, and the others with a blank expression and said coldly: "Any human martial artist who steps onto the arena or enters the secret realm must be killed with thunderous strikes!"

"But if a human martial artist admits defeat, do not push them too hard, lest the human martial artists be driven to desperate measures."

In the Human Realm, Ling Yiyi, with her rosy cheeks, stared at the Sky Screen, waiting with great anticipation for the rewards it would grant her.

[Evaluation: Ling Yiyi, daring and combative, a role model among female martial artists. Fiery temper, full of contrast. Powerful strength, extraordinary talent!]

[Basic Reward: Unimpeded Great Dao, Transcend the Three Realms!

Advanced Reward: One drop of True Blood, capable of gradually resolving bodily ailments, special divine weapon Heaven Opening Axe (axe shatters upon the owner's death, bound to the individual), one small secret realm (for personal use only).]

"Awesome!"

Ling Yiyi was overjoyed; she hated it most when people called her petite!

Her petite stature was partly due to genetics and partly because she had undergone bone tempering too early.

She was extremely satisfied with all three rewards granted by the Sky Screen!

Feeling the changes within herself, Ling Yiyi immediately brandished her Heaven Opening Axe!

"Li Hansong, come and fight!"

"..."

Li Hansong had a headache.

This troublemaker Ling Yiyi was at it again.

To prevent his junior sister from getting too arrogant, Li Hansong decided to beat some sense into her!

After a flurry of blows, Ling Yiyi rubbed her chest and spat out some blood.

Of course, the injury wasn't serious.

"Why do I feel like I haven't grown any taller at all?" Ling Yiyi said, feeling a bit depressed.

"Hiss, Ling Yiyi is truly violent!"

In the distance, Han Xu sighed.

Was this really the number one beauty in the martial arts world?

The Future Human King was also shameless enough to lie through his teeth!

Fu Changding, Zhao Lei, and the others exchanged glances, their bodies trembling in unison.

Female martial artists were truly insane!

Off to the side, Zhang Xuan also watched the sparring match between Li Hansong and Ling Yiyi.

Truth be told, he actually quite liked Ling Yiyi.

A female martial artist with such a contrast.

A legal loli wielding a giant axe—you have to admit, that's quite the contrast.

However, it seemed Ling Yiyi liked that blockhead Li Hansong, though he didn't know if Li Hansong felt the same way about her.

When he was reading the book back then, he had assumed that Ling Yiyi and Han Xu were the bickering couple.

"Tsk, matters of the heart are just too complicated!"

Zhang Xuan sighed softly; as a single guy like him, it was impossible to easily grasp the inner thoughts of girls.

The selection tournament at the Capital Base ended quickly.

Zhang Tao, Li Zhen, and Nan Yunyue looked at the final list with complex expressions.

"We've tossed and turned long enough!"

"Everything is their own choice."

News had already arrived from the Earth Cave; King Ming and the ancient kings were preparing to move up the Three Realms Martial Arts Exchange Tournament.

Before long, they would have to lead the human martial artists to march into the Outer Region of the Earth Cave.

Zhang Tao had already made the arrangements.

When the time came, the Heaven Suppressing King and the God Forger would use special methods to disguise all the martial artists and give them fake names.

They would deceive them for as long as they could.

"The Sky Screen... what exactly is the Sky Screen trying to do by exposing everything?" Zhang Tao stared at the Sky Screen, lost in deep thought for a long time.

At this moment, the Sky Screen shone with brilliant golden light, and the gilded characters shifted once again!

"This time it should finally be Fang Ping, who achieved Triple Bone Honing, right? He is the Magic Martial University freshman king after all!"

"The Sky Screen has finally stopped exposing the freshmen of the martial universities; it's about time it moved on to us seniors!"

"There are geniuses among us seniors too!"

"Li Hansong, Yao Chengjun, and Wang Jinyang will definitely make the list!"

[Three Realms Heavenly Pride Ranking · Human Realm List, 11th Place: Magic Martial University, Yu Feng!]

Magic Martial University erupted in an uproar!

Yang Xiaoman's pretty face was filled with confusion: "Yu Feng? Is there a genius martial artist named Yu Feng at Magic Martial University?"

Chen Yunxi and Zhao Xuemei were also looking bewildered.

They had never heard of any genius student named Yu Feng at Magic Martial University.

Anyone capable of making the Heavenly Pride Ranking could not possibly be an unknown person!

But who was Yu Feng?!

None of the instructors at Magic Martial University responded to the doubts of Yang Xiaoman and the others.

Li Changsheng, Huang Jing, Lv Fengrou, Wu Kuishan, and a group of other Magic Martial University instructors all had teary eyes, their bodies trembling.

"Yu Feng... such a familiar name!"

At the Capital Base, Fang Ping, Fu Changding, and Zhao Lei were all stunned.

Was there a genius martial artist named Yu Feng at Magic Martial University?

There wasn't even a powerhouse with the surname Yu among the instructors!

Wang Jinyang's pupils constricted sharply; he felt like he had heard that name somewhere before.

Qin Fengqing stared at the Sky Screen in disbelief, his lips trembling.

Zhang Tao, Li Zhen, and Nan Yunyue exchanged glances, their eyes flickering, their moods inexplicably heavy.

[Yu Feng, Principal of Magic Martial University, Rank 8 Peak!]

Please keep reading!

As for what the old principal of Magic Martial University's surname actually is, I don't know either; it might be Zhang, or it might be Yu.

Additionally, the Magic Martial University principal is also a legend, enough to make the Heavenly Pride Ranking.
