“Ding dong! Congratulations to Master for winning the Deity grade physique, the [Celestial Body]!”
The Celestial Body: A deity-grade martial body with a peerless strength, nicknamed the “Immortal Golden Body”. It would grow stronger with each battle. Eventually, one could achieve the heaven-shaking combat power capable of killing saints and immortals.
“It’s actually a special physique!”
Qin Feng’s eyes shone brightly as he patted Whitey’s butt in excitement.
In the seven years of living in the Moon Goddess Palace, he had chosen to be a lowkey person. Aside from his strengthened foundation, everything else that he possessed were things that everyone in Huang Gu was aware of.
While he could easily suppress other people, unreasonable existences like Chosen Ones were great threats to him unless he had another trump card in his hand.
Now that he had this Celestial Body, he had another insurance for himself.
Whitey’s lips twitched in its sleep, but it didn’t show any signs of waking up. After its butt was smacked, the rabbit simply turned its body and continued sleeping as usual.
Rumble!
Thunder resounded in Qin Feng’s mind as he felt as though he had transmigrated to a battlefield of the past.
Sounds of death were shaking the skies.
Vivid, scorching blood was flying everywhere.
The ground was shaking as dark silhouettes clashed on the battlefield, the condensation of their might changing the colours of heaven and earth.
On the opposing end was a towering figure that held a halberd, striding amidst the blood-drenched earth that was littered with corpses. It charged forward, rampantly annihilating the endless enemies in its path, resembling a mighty battle that didn’t allow for any hesitation.
It killed each person with one attack, charging forward relentlessly. Blood only fueled his excitement, and slaughter only made him crazier…
“Fuck!"
Qin Feng couldn’t stop himself from cursing as his consciousness returned to the present.
No wonder the Celestial Body was known as a martial physique. It was practically tailor-made for war. No matter how many enemies stood before it, it would only need itself!
“This is the Celestial body? It’s too terrifying!”
He clenched his fists unconsciously as he clearly sensed the strength within his body.
His body had become sturdier as well, and even if Princess Nan Feng had stabbed him again, it was unlikely that her blade could even pierce his skin.
Adding in the terrifying recovery abilities of the 33-Day Creation Method that he had cultivated, it would require at least seven Chosen Ones to work together to kill him—missing just one would cause all of their efforts to fatally wound him to be futile.
Clang!
Just at this moment, the sound of a clock rang out.
If he had remembered correctly, this marked the start of the once-in-a-decade Death Elimination Tournament.
This tournament that chose 100,000 participants among a billion young cultivators meant that all of these individuals were considered to be geniuses who appeared only once in a 10,000.
However, such a number hardly satisfied the discerning eyes of the Yin Yue Imperial Dynasty. They wanted to raise them through the method of raising Gu to choose 1,000 people amongst these 100,000 geniuses to nurture.
They would raise these 1,000 individuals to become true prodigies, and be the future strength of the Yin Yue Imperial Dynasty.
The path to glory within the Yin Yue Imperial Dynasty was placed before all to see, and as long as they had the abilities to, they could climb to the pinnacle.
“Has it started?”
Qin Feng was extremely interested in this Death Elimination Tournament. He had heard that the risk of death had remained constant at 50%—a statistic suggesting that out of the initial participation pool of 100,000 people, only 50,000 people would survive.
Even if they weren’t selected by the Yin Yue Imperial Dynasty, these survivors would also become candidates that the great influential forces would recruit.
At this moment—
As the bells of the Death Elimination Tournament rang out, projections appeared at the large cities of the Yin Yue Imperial Dynasty. They could use magic to project the ongoings of the tournament to the great cities like live broadcasts.
Just before the Death Elimination Tournament started, a complete ranking of combat powers between the participants appeared at the same time. It was collated through the judgements of numerous martial arts masters. As of right now, Qin Feng stood after the 30,000th rank.
“It can’t be… Qin Feng is only at the 30,000th rank?!”
Everyone was shocked. They simply couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
Even if Qin Feng had failed to show his strength in the past seven years, and he lacked the advantage of cultivation and age in the Death Elimination Tournament, it still seemed unlikely that the greatest prodigy of Huang Gu would stand at the 30,000th place!
Amidst the doubtful voices—
A sister appeared in the projections displayed across the large cities alongside a white-haired old man. The man’s name was Ma Dai Guo, a famous martial arts master of the Yin Yue Dynasty.
The sister’s voice was sweet as she spoke, “To answer the voices of doubt from everyone, we have invited the famous martial arts master, Ma Dai Guo, to share his insights on Qin Feng’s ranking.”
“Good day, everyone. I am Ma Dai Guo, the creator of the Mix Basic Energies.”
After introducing himself, he started explaining his analysis, “As to why Qin Feng was ranked in the 30,000th place, it was the conclusion after repeated analyses from our martial experts. Our conclusion can be simplified with these four words—jack of all trades.”
“Jack of all trades?” The sister asked in shock performatively.
“That’s right!”
Ma Dai Guo continued, “As everyone knows, any power wielded by Qin Feng would be something coveted by countless experts. Yet, it is precisely this large number of abilities gathered in his body that has caused his distraction. This is evident from his progress, as he merely reached the Ninth layer of the Phenomenal realm over a span of seven years.”
“So it was like that!”
Everyone instantly understood what he meant, no wonder he was an expert.
As if possessed by Conan, Ma Dai Guo continued, “It is also clear from the battle with Fang Chang that Qin Feng hadn’t broken through to the second level of his Sword Intent just yet. As a prodigy that had awakened Sword Intent and the Indomitable Sword Heart at eight years old, it is evident just how distracted he was to be incapable of awakening the second level of his Sword Intent even after seven years.”
“En!” The spectators nodded in unison as they listened, resonating with Ma Dai Guo’s analysis.
Ma Dai Guo continued, “Without the advantage of age or cultivation in the Death Elimination Tournament this time, coupled with his jack-of-all-trades attribute, considering that there are over a thousand Dao cultivators participating this time, and the 20,000 cultivators at the Sixth and Seventh layer of the Spiritual Martial realm, Qin Feng’s cultivation at the Ninth layer of the Phenomenal realm is at the very bottom. As such, it is logical to rank Qin Feng after the 30,000s.”
The sister couldn’t help but ask, “Then do you think that there is a chance for Qin Feng to emerge as a dark horse and eventually obtain victory in the Death Elimination Tournament?”
“It is definitely impossible!”
Ma Dai Guo spoke confidently like an expert, “With his cultivation at the very bottom, his age at the very bottom, and his jack-of-all-trades attribute, his combat ability is limited. It is impossible for him to emerge victorious among these great number of experts.”
“En!”
The crowd nodded, he was an expert for a reason.
Ma Dai Guo spoke seriously, “As such, I hope that those seeking their path in the martial world would focus on their specialities, rather than numbers. For instance, my self-created Mixed Basic Energies and Five Consecutive Whips are enough to establish myself in this world!”
“We’ve learned!”
The crowd nodded feverously.
At this moment—
The arena where Qin Feng was.
Eight out of the ten participants of the preliminaries had just arrived, while Qin Feng came with Whitey slowly.
“Qin Feng!”
Princess Nan Feng, who stood among the crowd, gritted her teeth, her gaze trained upon Qin Feng. She wanted nothing but to bite him to death, along with that rabbit as well.
The rabbit had babbled incessantly about how that carrot was an antidote to the poison, only for it to prove completely ineffective even after she had eaten it. In the end, she could only call for two female servants to barely survive the night……
