Training ground.
Silence reigned; you could hear a pin drop.
Ning Chuan lowered his eyes.
He suppressed all the joy of obtaining the Ultimate Weapon Art.
Thoughts raced through his mind, analyzing the reasons behind Bai Qi's inquiry.
The other party is an unparalleled being standing at the very top of the pyramid.
It couldn't be that she was trying to please him.
There are only two most likely explanations for this inquiry.
First, this is just a simple test.
Bai Qi wanted to see his interpersonal skills.
Secondly, Bai Qi wanted to use him as an excuse to take action against the Wang Family's Heavenly King, or other military leaders of the Heavenly King rank.
If it's the former, there's no problem.
Anyway, I've already got my hands on the Ultimate Weapon Art.
If it's the latter, it's extremely dangerous.
A single wrong answer could drag you into a power struggle between Heavenly King, potentially endangering your life.
"I absolutely cannot get involved."
After thinking for a moment, Ning Chuan grinned and said casually, "I don't really care."
Because it doesn't affect me.
With my talent, I can successfully pass even the most unorthodox weapon techniques.
"However, I'm very annoyed by his previous provocation!"
Ning Chuan raised his hand, pointed at Wang Longtao beside him, and said, "I really want to beat him up!"
However, he had reservations because he came from a family of Heavenly King.
"Call!"
Upon hearing this, many high-ranking military officials breathed a sigh of relief.
Ning Chuan attributed the conflict to a clash between two young people.
That's a minor issue.
It's nothing.
"Fight if you want. There are no Heavenly King here, so why would they care about the rivalry among young people?"
A cold voice emanated from his scarlet eyes.
He does not show his emotions.
However, Bai Xiuxiu vaguely sensed a hint of praise in her great-grandfather's tone.
"Emperor Taizu must have been very satisfied with Ning Chuan."
Bai Xiuxiu thought to herself.
Ning Chuan's choice just now was appropriate, both in advancing and retreating.
He neither acted arrogantly because of his amazing talent.
They did not fear the powerful families of the Heavenly King and made concessions without hesitation.
"Thank you, King Bai!"
Ning Chuan said loudly, then turned to face Wang Longtao and strode closer.
Wang Longtao's expression changed drastically.
He had just been pressed against the throat by Ning Chuan's sword and knew he was no match for him.
"Don't..."
Before Wang Longtao could say anything, Ning Chuan punched him in the abdomen. With a loud bang, the powerful force exploded, and Wang Longtao was unable to speak. His face contorted in pain as he bent over.
Ning Chuan's eyes were cold and unwavering; he didn't stop.
His right hand shot out swiftly, pressing down on Wang Longtao's head to immobilize him, while at the same time, he suddenly raised his knee upwards.
Snap!
Bang!
The two sounds occurred almost simultaneously.
Wang Longtao was in so much pain that he lay on the ground, his nose collapsed and completely fractured.
Blood kept flowing from his mouth.
Broken teeth, mixed with blood, fell to the ground one after another.
Many people find it gritty.
Once Ning Chuan makes a move, he won't hold back.
"To be honest, I'm not surprised at all that you're in this terrible state!"
Song Shiyu shook her head with a sigh, walked over to Wang Longtao, squatted down, and said with a smile, "But don't be too sad."
At this point, Song Shiyu pulled out a slip of paper, put it in Wang Longtao's pocket, and said, "This is someone's contact information. His name is Xia Xi. You two will definitely have a lot in common. Have a good chat later!"
"Hmm..."
Wang Longtao wanted to curse, but his mouth was injured by Ning Chuan, so he could only make muffled sobs.
At this moment, Luo Qin spoke up, looking respectfully at the crimson eyes in the void, and asked, " King Bai, now that Ning Chuan has obtained the inheritance of the Ultimate Weapon Art, should this trial continue?"
"Continue."
A detached voice rang out.
The words were finished.
Space distorted, and the scarlet eyes disappeared into the ripples.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly relaxed.
A cacophony of voices filled the air.
Facing a Heavenly King, especially Bai Qi, even a Titled Knight couldn't help but feel nervous.
Luo Qin summoned several soldiers who carried Wang Longtao, who was lying on the ground, to the medical room.
Wang Longtao has been eliminated due to injury.
Luo Qin then made the announcement.
The test of the Ultimate Weapon Art will certainly not be delayed because of one person.
Luo Qin looked at the four people remaining before her and said, "The third and final test will examine the strength of your Blood Qi!"
Ning Chuan nodded silently.
This assessment item was within his expectations.
After all, the stronger Blood Qi, the stronger the Force Seed that is condensed!
Therefore, when using the Force to cultivate techniques, the efficiency of absorbing dark energy from the Universe is higher.
Wen Miaoyan her hand and asked, "Colonel Luo, how is Blood Qi strength tested? Has the Federation Academy of Sciences developed a testing machine for this?"
No, come with me.
Luo Qin didn't explain directly and walked towards the training ground gate.
Ning Chuan and the others followed closely behind.
Other high-ranking military officials also set off.
A moment later.
The group arrived at a spacious, brightly lit room with a perfectly circular pond in the center.
However, it wasn't filled with pool water.
Instead, it is a bright red liquid with a viscous texture, resembling molten lava from a volcano.
In the center of the pond is a stone platform, also circular, about one meter in diameter, with peculiar patterns on its surface that extend all the way to the bright red liquid.
This is the Blood Wave Pool!
Luo Qin pointed to the stone platform in the center of the pond and explained, "Gather the Force Seed on it. The fluctuations of Blood Qi will be detected, causing the Blood Wave Pool to tremble and generate waves."
The stronger the Blood Qi and energy, the higher the waves!
When the wave height exceeds ten meters, you pass the test and can obtain the inheritance of the Ultimate Weapon Art!
The four from Ning Chuan understood.
Luo Qin asked, "Only one person is allowed to cultivate in the Blood Wave Pool at a time. Who wants to go first?"
"I'll go first!"
Song Shiyu thought for a moment, then smiled and said, " Ning Chuan is at the bottom; anyway, he has already obtained the inheritance of the Ultimate Weapon Art."
"I don't care."
Ning Chuan remained calm.
Luo Qin nodded slightly and said to Song Shiyu, "Okay, let's begin."
"Good!"
The Blood Wave Pool wasn't very large. Song Shiyu took a few running steps, leaped up, and landed on the central stone platform. Then, he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to condense the Force Seed.
Buzz!
The crimson liquid in the Blood Wave Pool trembled slightly, and a circular wave rose outward from the central stone platform.
One meter.
Two meters.
As the wave approached three meters, it stopped surging upwards.
"This level is not bad. The S-rank breathing technique should be at the Proficiency Realm!"
"Brother Song, like father, like son!"
"His aptitude is mediocre, far inferior to his sister's. It's uncertain whether he'll even be able to become Knight!"
High-ranking military officials exchanged views.
About half an hour later.
The waves receded, and the pool surface returned to its normal level.
Song Shiyu successfully condensed the Force Seed, opened his eyes, and returned to the shore.
Luo Qin announced, "The wave is 2.98 meters, which is unacceptable and disqualified!"
Song Shiyu sighed, but wasn't too disappointed.
He knew his Blood Qi were not strong enough.
The main reason for his visit was that Song Yuefeng brought him here to meet some high-ranking military officials, paving the way for his future career.
"I'll be second!"
Qiu Ling said, and seeing that no one objected, she pushed off with her feet and leaped onto the stone platform.
Compared to Song Shiyu, who needed a running start, Qiu Ling seemed much more relaxed.
She possesses the Heavy Mountain Battle Physique, with a punching force of 12 tons, and her physical abilities far surpass those of Song Shiyu.
Qiu Ling sat down cross-legged and began to condense the Force Seed.
Buzz!
The surface of the pool trembled, and waves rose, quickly surpassing a height of three meters and continuing to rise.
However, it's getting slower and slower.
Final height: 9.46 meters.
Upon hearing this number, Qiu Ling couldn't help but burst into tears.
Song Shiyu comforted him, "Don't worry about it too much. Look at me, I've been through it too!"
Qiu Ling said with a sob in her voice, "Even if you multiply your height by three, it's still far from enough, of course you don't care!"
Song Shiyu Momo turned around.
That hurts.
"In fact, you're far from it."
Luo Qin explained, "The rise of the wave requires not a gradual increase in the intensity of Blood Qi, but an explosive increase."
The maximum height of the Blood Wave Pool is eighteen meters, and no one has ever reached that height!
Qiu Ling stopped crying.
Wen Miaoyan onto the central stone platform, sat cross-legged, and closed her eyes.
Buzz!
A ring of waves surged forth, its commotion surpassing even that of Qiu Ling, who possessed the Heavy Mountain Battle Physique.
One meter.
Two meters.
Three meters...
The altitude is constantly increasing.
Many high-ranking military officials looked surprised and discussed the matter amongst themselves.
"That's quite an increase! For an ordinary physique, the Blood Qi strength surpasses that of the Heavy Mountain Battle Physique!"
"The strength of Blood Qi and Blood Qi is divided into quantity and quality. In special constitutions, quantity usually prevails, while quality is still related to the level of breathing techniques!"
"I wonder if Wen Miaoyan will succeed."
Hearing the murmurs coming from nearby, Ning Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
He has an average physique.
The power of the Blood Qi and qi comes entirely from the Perfect Realm of the Ancient Dragon Elephant Scripture.
But just how strong is it?
Ning Chuan wasn't sure either.
"If someone possesses an Supreme Physique, cultivates the most advanced S-rank breathing technique, and reaches Perfect Realm, their Blood Qi should be roughly equivalent to mine... right?"
Ning Chuan pondered to himself.
It doesn't matter if he's stronger.
It could be attributed to the Eternal Night King Physique; in any case, the Supreme Physique has always been shrouded in mystery.
The military leadership will not be too shocked.
At that moment, a mournful cry rang out.
Wen Miaoyan's results are out.
It is 9.98 meters high.
Luo Qin didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only give a wry smile and say to Ning Chuan, "It's your turn."
"Good."
Ning Chuan easily leaped onto the stone platform.
