Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 690

Chapter 690 Assessment

Inside the Zhenwu Talisman.

Fang Xing sat cross-legged and suddenly raised his hand.

A book appeared out of nowhere, suspended in the air, and turned page by page.

Pages of paper were projected out, transforming into golden words in mid-air:

[No. 1 on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking! The Great Black Temple’s ‘Lotus Master’, martial arts master of the Kalachakra Black Sun Sutra, one-handed ‘Great Light Fist’ is invincible… Battle record: Fighting with thousands of moves at Guangming Peak, defeated the leader of the Tianyang Sect ‘Tianyangzi’, once blocked three thousand iron pagodas with his own strength… One palm made the ‘Purple Waterfall’ flow backwards…]

[Second on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking! Xuanyin Sect leader ‘Xuanyinzi’, the best swordsman in the world… Battle record, once cut off Xiaoqingfeng Mountain with one sword, drew a chessboard, and played chess and martial arts with Tianyangzi for three days and three nights, winning by half a point…]

[Ranked third on the Dragon and Tiger List! The ‘Blue Dragon Boss’ of the Qinglong Sect, the chief of the underworld… Battle record: slaughtered three gangs and six families with bloody hands and built a Jingguan…]

[No. 4 on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking! The Five Animal Sect’s ‘Heavenly Bird Master’, his record…]

…

This is Xun Heihu’s list of “filial piety”.

The Dragon and Tiger List ranks the top masters in Jiuzhou, and it changes every few years. It is far inferior to the ever-changing “Chu Feng List”!
The so-called “Chu Feng List” is compiled by the Five Animals Sect and only ranks the masters in Chuzhou. There is also the “New Style List” that ranks those under 30 years old, and the “Female Style List” that ranks female masters… In terms of fun, it is far more interesting than the Dragon and Tiger List.

“Although the Tianyang Sect is one of the nine major sects, Tianyangzi is in such a pity that he has basically become a unit for measuring combat power?”

Fang Xing had a strange look on his face. He looked around again but couldn’t find the person.

I saw the annotation at the end: “Oh…it turned out that he died of depression after he returned because of too many competitions and too many losses. This was also because of his old injuries…otherwise, a top-level master like him could live for 500 years and would not be angered to death…In the final analysis, he was beaten too badly and damaged his foundation…”

Tian Yangzi is not weak!
It’s just that he only plays in the peak competition, and his ending is very tragic…

“Only third-rank masters are listed on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking, while one temple, two sects, and six major schools all have grandmasters on the list… This allows me to see the progress of martial arts in this world…”

Fang Xing looked at the descriptions of those who could cut off mountains with a sword or cut off rivers with a palm, and shook his head: “They are only at the sixth or seventh realm in terms of strength, and their peak strength may reach the eighth realm…but their life span is far inferior.”

With such strength, even the top masters would not be troubled by the thought that “Pan Wu has awakened in my body”.

Simply put, because he was too weak, Pan Wu’s consciousness was difficult to awaken.

Not to mention resurrection or anything like that.

What’s more, in this world’s heavenly way, there is also the ‘Zhenwu’!
“It’s time to guide the spread of the Zhenwu Dao and start planning…”

“I have been in seclusion for so many years, and it is not to say that I have gained nothing… At least, getting the beginning of the True Martial Avenue is not a big problem…”

The current situation is that although Pan Wu is very strong, he is a vegetable.

Although Zhenwu is weak and still a child, he is capable of action.

This is the unfairness brought about by using the “Gate of All Heavens” to cheat.

Otherwise, it would take Fang Xing many years to open up a new path.

“Fortunately, the speed of time in this world is extremely fast, so there is basically no need to worry about not being able to catch up with the Zerg War in the Great Xia Universe.”

“Let’s take a step back and say that even if I can’t catch up, then I can’t catch up… I will avenge human civilization and rebuild it later…”

Fang Xing closed his eyes and fell into contemplation.

…

Outside the Zhenwu Talisman.

A group of boys and girls, about fourteen or fifteen years old, were punching each other.

Coaches Xiong, Yu and others were watching and commenting from the side.

“Yuchi Gang is still number one. He has reached the upper seventh level now, right?”

“Situ Yanyan is also okay, barely breaking through to the seventh level…”

“These two are disciples of aristocratic families. They have abundant financial resources to support the hard training of the lower third level…Shouldn’t the most surprising one be Xun Heihu? He actually broke through to the seventh level, with a body of gold and silver threads, not inferior to Situ Yanyan…”

“I think his family is pretty well off. Didn’t his father come to give him money several times? I wonder how much of his belongings he sold…”

Master Yu listened and fixed his eyes on one person, Jiang Yuyan: “Yan’er is not bad, the key is that she has an extraordinary character. Even though I only supported her with a little gold and silver, she has now cultivated to the eighth level… and is not far from breaking through to the seventh level.”

As for the remaining dozen or so young boys and girls, they were all of ninth-grade cultivation level. Ye Fengchun was among them, but he was not taken seriously at all.

After three years, those who have only cultivated to the ninth level will probably only be able to stay in the lower three levels for the rest of their lives.

After leaving Bailu Courtyard, they either joined the army, became guards, or escorts… Of course, those with worse character might even become bandits.

However, being a bandit or a thief in this era is very risky, and many young men want to use them to become famous.

Even the Five Animal Sect would send out large armies of warriors from time to time to encircle and suppress the enemy, and no matter how deep in the mountains or dangerous places they were, they were of no use.

“gather!”

With a loud shout, more than twenty young men and women gathered together.

Xun Heihu saw this scene and sighed in his heart: “It’s been three years… There are only these few warriors who have entered the rank of warriors from that wave of enrollment who have persisted until now.”

“Your class is already pretty good.”

On his neck, in the Zhenwu Talisman, Fang Xing’s voice was transmitted directly into Xun Heihu’s sea of consciousness.

This is an ability that Fang Xing has recently “developed”. It allows him to communicate with the host mentally, similar to telepathy, without having to speak out loud.

Xun Heihu didn’t take it seriously, thinking that this was the original function of the “Zhenwu Talisman”.

For Fang Xing, this means he is one step closer to escaping from trouble and making the Zhenwu Talisman move on its own. This is cause for celebration.

“My strength…should have surpassed Yuchi Gang, right?”

Seeing the handsome young man ranked first, Xun Heihu said in his heart.

‘The cultivation of the lower three levels is to lay the foundation for internal strength… The stronger the physique, the faster the internal strength will be refined in the future, and the stronger the internal strength will be.’

Fang Xing said: “This is why I let you stay in the seventh level for a while. Your current state is already considered the seventh level of perfection, and you can break through to the sixth level of internal energy at any time…”

The internal strength of the ninth-grade martial arts of the Great Zhou Dynasty comes from the outside to the inside. Once a breakthrough is made, one will possess incomparably strong internal strength.

It was not the kind of method that one cultivates slowly and gradually improves, but it was achieved in one go! And the destructive power of the internal energy was extremely strong and overbearing.

Therefore, the foundation must be laid firmly so that the benefits can be greater.

Today, Xun Heihu majors in new martial arts and supplements with ancient martial arts. His foundation is already very solid, and he has even mastered six of the twelve body specializations.

It can be said that even if you meet a sixth-grade warrior, you can fight him.

“hehe……”

With a chuckle, Zhang Kaitai, the ‘Taiyi Hand’ with a spherical body, also came to the square.

“Meet the dean.”

Xun Heihu saluted quickly, but thought in his heart: “Even the dean is here, there must be something big!”

“What big deal could it be? It’s just the graduation exam, right?”

Fang Xing’s voice came: “Looking at this, it’s likely that they’re going to have some actual combat.”

“Students, your assessment task this time is actual combat.”

Zhang Kaitai raised his hand with a smile.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Sheets of paper flew up one by one and landed accurately in the hands of each student.

“Huh? Wanted warrant?”

Xun Heihu took the wanted order and saw a handsome face with a sinister look on it: “Roaring Sky Dog Gou San?! A seventh-rank gold-thread realm warrior? Reward: three thousand six hundred taels?!”

“Yes, this is your assessment task, arrest this person!”

Zhang Kaitai said with a smile: “The reason? Of course it’s not about helping the weak and suppressing the strong, but this person has been unscrupulous in recent years. He even dug the tomb of the mother’s family of a manager of the Five Animal Sect…”

It was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with the arbitrary assignment of tasks by the upper sect, and he directly revealed all his secrets.

“Our wanted posters…are all for this Roaring Sky Dog Gou San!”

Yuchi Gang asked: “Only one person can pass the test?”

As soon as these words came out, all the young men and women changed their expressions!
“Of course not, we are just a lower house of the Five Animals, how can the assessment be so cruel?”

Zhang Kaitai said with a smile: “Just capture or kill this owl, and you will be automatically promoted to pass the test… In addition, there will be a coach secretly observing you. If you perform well in the process of catching it, you can also get high scores. And, this depends on your strength. For example, he…”

Zhang Kaitai casually pointed at Ye Fengchun, who was of the ninth rank: “Such students can be judged as qualified as long as they can make a slight contribution in the arrest, whether it is besieging or providing certain clues in the pursuit…”

As soon as these words came out, many eighth and ninth rank warriors breathed a sigh of relief.

They couldn’t even beat a seventh-rank senior brother, so how could they fight a real seventh-rank martial artist? They were simply courting death!

The difference in realm is one level, and the difference in martial arts is huge.

Even if it’s not a one-shot kill, it basically can’t last more than three or two moves.

At this time, Fang Xing was observing Xun Heihu’s expression with great interest.

Xun Heihu looked normal and even dealt with Ye Fengchun’s request to form a team. In fact, he was just trying to curry favor with someone powerful.

It was not until night, after closing the door, that he sat cross-legged on the bed, tightly grasping the ‘Zhenwu Talisman’ hanging around his neck: “Senior…what do you want to say?”

“I can only tell you that the Zhenwu Talisman was a burial object… brought out of the ancient tomb by your father.”

Fang Xing’s chuckle was heard.

“Roaring Sky Dog, tomb robbers… have been committing crimes frequently in recent years.” Xun Heihu thought of the man who gave him silver and even looked humble…

“Senior…I thought you would keep this a secret.”

After a long time, Xun Heihu said in his mind.

“Hide this matter and then watch you two kill each other? What good will it do me?”

Fang Xing sneered: “I don’t have that kind of bad taste…”

“I thought you would hate him?” Xun Heihu was obviously confused.

“Do you think being buried with others is something you are willing to do?” Fang Xing’s voice was a little speechless: “Strictly speaking, your father brought me out and dug up that guy’s grave. I was very happy…”

Well, that ancient Daxia person probably regarded the ‘Zhenwu Talisman’ as the source of some disaster, so he chose to suppress it with his own body, and wanted the Zhenwu Talisman to be buried with him forever…

Strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with this statement.
