Inside a large hall that could hold a hundred people, Ling Yi and Shen Qingxue sat in a corner, sizing up the so-called contestants in front of them.
"Where did all these people come from?" Shen Qingxue asked incredulously.
"Most of these people were originally Rebel Martial Practitioner!" The speaker was not Ling Yi, but a stern-looking young man in his mid-thirties.
It seemed that every part of this person, no matter where it was, had been meticulously repaired.
With a buzz cut, sharply defined eyebrows, and a light gray training uniform, he looked angular and sharp. If you didn't know better, you might think that there was wire sewn into the seams of his training uniform!
The first impression they give is that they are meticulous, serious, and rigid!
But the more you look at it, the more awkward it feels!
Shen Qingxue really disliked people who took the initiative to strike up a conversation with her.
She was already pretty, so she often encountered some self-important people who would try to strike up a conversation with her.
After a while, even with her good temper, Shen Qingxue would get annoyed.
Gradually, whenever she encountered such people, regardless of their motives, Shen Qingxue's consistent approach was to ignore them.
Just now, Shen Qingxue merely glanced at this upright young man and frowned. Even a fool could see the disgust on Shen Qingxue's face.
Just as the upright young man was about to say something, Ling Yi suddenly appeared in front of Shen Qingxue in Ying Yi.
With a wave of his hand, he pushed the upright young man aside.
The upright young man felt his body being pushed back a few steps by a powerful yet gentle force.
He retreated without any resistance, as if an adult were pushing a child away.
The upright young man was utterly shocked. He was, after all, a Fourth Tier Martial Master Realm, yet he was utterly powerless against this boy.
This is absolutely terrifying.
He was about to say something when he heard Shen Qingxue exclaim, " Ling Yi, watch out!"
Before he could finish speaking, a huge shadow fell from the sky and was caught by Ling Yi's outstretched right hand.
This person was incredibly obese; judging by their weight, they must have weighed at least 200-300 pounds.
However, at this moment, the fat man was being held up in the air by Ling Yi's one hand.
At this moment, the fat man's eyes were closed, his face was pale, and his limbs were motionless, just like he was dead.
Ling Yi casually tossed the fat man aside.
The ground seemed to tremble as its obese body crashed down.
The people around quickly made way for them.
The way they looked at Ling Yi was now tinged with wariness and caution.
Ling Yi's ability to catch someone in mid-air with one hand is definitely not simple; even Martial Practitioner Realm couldn't do it.
This young man is at least a late- Martial Practitioner Realm Artist.
Just then, a commotion arose in the distance.
It turned out to be security personnel from the Martial Practitioner Alliance. After they rushed in, they charged at four of the middle-aged men without saying a word.
The members of this Martial Practitioner Alliance are all at least at the Martial Master Realm level.
He struck with extreme force, showing no mercy. In just a few moves, the four middle-aged men were knocked to the ground, spitting blood, half-dead.
Then they came to Ling Yi's side. The leader glanced at Ling Yi, then waved his hand and said coldly, "Take him away and treat him!"
"Listen up, you bastards Laozi! If you want to fight, we won't care if you fight to the death in the ring, but no private fights are allowed outside the ring."
"The rules of the World Martial Arts Tournament are posted on the wall. Everyone better read Laozi carefully and remember them. Anyone who dares to break the rules again will face the consequences!"
After saying that, the man glanced around, gave a disdainful snort, and turned to leave.
This group of people came quickly and left quickly.
It only took three minutes from start to finish; incredibly efficient.
Everyone now understood the general process.
It seems that the four middle-aged men and the fat man got into a fight for some reason, and in the end, the fat man was knocked away by the four men working together.
The specific reasons are not important; what matters is that everyone witnessed the tyranny of the Martial Practitioner Alliance.
That's really going all out!
Those four people are most likely crippled. Even if they are cured, they will probably be completely cut off from the Martial Dao and become ordinary people.
At this moment, Ling Yi turned and walked towards the upright young man, saying to him, "Give me a business card; I might need it someday."
The upright young man paused for a moment, then asked, "Do you know who I am?"
Seeing that Ling Yi didn't speak, the man smiled and said, "Interesting!"
Then he took out a black cesium business card and cleverly tossed it to Ling Yi.
Ling Yi extended two fingers, easily pinched the business card, glanced at it, and then stuffed it into his pocket.
The upright young man's pupils contracted again. This technique of his used Genki, which ordinary Martial Practitioner could not withstand.
But then he smiled slightly, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ling Yi, and turned to leave.
When Ling Yi came to his senses, he happened to see Shen Qingxue looking him up and down with curiosity.
"What is your cultivation level?"
" Ninth Tier Martial Venerable!" Ling Yi said.
Shen Qingxue was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes dramatically.
"Fine, don't tell me if you don't want to!"
Martial Venerable Ninth Tier? How is that possible? Ling Yi is the same age as her, a seventeen-year-old Martial Venerable Ninth Tier? Are you kidding me?
Since the beginning of the Martial Dao Era, there has never been a case of anyone reaching the Martial Venerable at the age of seventeen, let alone the Ninth Tier of Martial Venerable.
The Ninth Tier of Martial Venerable, one more step and you'll be Martial Saint!
Isn't that ridiculous?
What Shen Qingxue didn't know was that Ling Yi wasn't lying; his current cultivation level was indeed at the Ninth Tier of Martial Venerable.

Has the system been upgraded?
Yes, it has been upgraded; it's gone from version 1.0 to version 1.1!
To be honest, Ling Yi didn't even know when the system was upgraded or why it needed to be upgraded.
It seems that two days ago, Ling Yi woke up in the morning and found that the system had been upgraded.
The interface remained Changes after the upgrade.
The number of times the interface is captured remains at 4 per day, without any increase, and Ling Yi still cannot figure out the pattern of the interface Changes.
The number of bindable interception targets can still only be increased by one per year.
The data parameters such as Ling Yi's cultivation level have nothing to do with whether the system is upgraded or not.
The only Changes is in the future video interface for binding targets; there have been some Changes.
Firstly, in the future video, Ling Yi can reset and refresh it at any time.
In other words, a forced reset and refresh can be performed without waiting for Shen Qingxue to die.
In other words, Ling Yi can create an infinite number of parallel timelines.
Of course, the theory of parallel timelines is Ling Yi's own conceptual framework.
It's different from the main timeline.
This makes it easier to understand. Whether parallel timelines have been created is still uncertain.
The second function allows Ling Yi to give items from his Personal Space to his bound target at any time.
It can only be used on the target it's bound to.
This feature came at just the right time, coinciding with an idea that Ling Yi had in mind.
Previously, Ling Yi was still researching how to do it silently and without anyone noticing.
This feature solves this little problem perfectly.
The third feature is that future videos can now be saved.
Each time the future video is reset and refreshed, in addition to asking whether to sync it with Shen Qingxue, there is also a prompt asking whether to save the future video.
Saving future videos is equivalent to saving the previously missed clipping options that appear at a certain time point in the future video.
This is of great importance to Ling Yi.
After all, Ling Yi can only Future Extraction four clips per day. Once the video is refreshed and reset, some very valuable capture options may be lost.
The system has already saved the nine videos that were previously reset and refreshed by default.
That Physique Plunderer was what Ling Yi extracted from the third video clip.
Reaching the Ninth Tier Martial Venerable brought about a dramatic Changes in Ling Yi's power.
However, among the many extracted techniques, Ling Yi only used the Yuan-Swallowing Art and the Yuan Concealment Art.
The Yuan-Swallowing Art Refinement external Genki for one's own use, Yuan Concealment Art hides the circulation path of Genki within the body.
To put it simply, it means being able to completely conceal the cultivation technique one is practicing.
In this way, even if others know that Ling Yi has cultivated a technique, they will not be able to Probe what kind of technique he is cultivating.
Ling Yi chose the Yuan-Swallowing Formula and the Spirit Concealment Art.
The Yuan-Swallowing Formula allows you to absorb the Genki of others.
The combination of Yuan-Swallowing Art and Yuan-Swallowing Formula is the Northern Darkness Divine Art, Star Absorbing Great Method.
Its superior quality goes without saying.
The Yuan-Swallowing Art, Yuan-Swallowing Formula, and Yuan Concealment Art all originated from Xiao Wuyan.
The Spirit Concealment Art originated from Shen Jun.
The Spirit Concealment Art can not only influence cultivation level, but also conceal special physical constitutions.
The Yuan Concealment Art conceals one's learned martial arts; the Spirit Concealment Art conceals one's cultivation level and physique.
Unless Ling Yi chooses to, even Martial Saint Martial Saint wouldn't be able to discern Ling Yi's true strength.
As for the Devouring Physique, its origin is unknown!
The system's Future Extraction options do not indicate who owns the option.
Ling Yi guessed all of this based on the characters they appeared in.
There is a high possibility of discrepancy.
This Devouring Physique should come from Shen Kun, one of the five masked men, and the two Martial Venerable Realm experts who have never shown themselves—one of the eight, right?
It is currently impossible to determine exactly who it is.
Ling Yi suspected that this Devouring Physique likely originated from Shen Kun.
There was no reason, it was just a guess.
Furthermore, do the effects of Devouring Physique and Yuan-Swallowing Formula conflict? No.
The Devouring Physique allows one to directly absorb the cultivation of others.
However, the Yuan-Swallowing Formula only absorbs the Genki of others.
Cultivation level and vital Genki are two completely different concepts.
Once your cultivation is devoured, it's irreversible. No matter how high your cultivation level is, if you're devoured by Devouring Physique, you'll instantly become an ordinary person.
A pure villain.
The prerequisite is that the other party's cultivation level cannot exceed Li Ling Yi's by too much.
However, once the Genki is absorbed, it can be replenished through cultivation in a short period of time, because the cultivation remains.
Of course, one's cultivation level can be regained.
However, the time and resources required to restore one's cultivation level are incalculable.
Devouring Physique is something that only villains or Protagonist with exceptional Karmic Luck can control.
But the benefits of system upgrades don't stop there.
For example, all martial arts techniques and skills are automatically Perfection.
Cultivation, enlightenment? Not needed, absolutely not.
