God Emperor

"At that time, the students in the Holy Academy were all laughing at me, saying that I didn't know the heights of the world, that I was ignorant, and that I was too idiotic. They said that Tianmoling was just a small, remote place in the countryside. There was a Luoxu two hundred years ago. In two hundred years, there will not be another Luoxu."

"At first, I naturally didn't believe what they said. I just wanted to cultivate a peerless genius, send him to the Holy Court, and beat the arrogant guys in the Holy Court to pieces."

"It's a pity that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."

"Fifty years have passed, and Tianmo Ridge has produced some extremely talented young people. Some of them are even better than Si Xingkong and Zhang Tiangui. However, compared with the heroes in the Holy Academy, they are still far behind. Even though two of them have entered the Holy Court, I told them not to tell others that they are my disciples."

Zhang Ruochen said: "The Pavilion Master is worried that they will be suppressed by your former enemies?"

Lei Ding nodded and said: "If your talent is not high enough, entering the Holy Court is like a pebble being thrown into the sea. It won't even make a bubble, let alone cause a storm in the Holy Court." The talents of those two people are already very good if they can protect themselves in the Holy Court."

"Later, as I got older and older, I was no longer as impulsive as before, and a lot of my passion was lost in time. Finally, I suddenly felt that even if I really met a great genius, I would send him to the Saint Yuan, tell others that he is my disciple of Lei Jing. Is this really good? Will it harm him?"

"After thinking about this, my last bit of passion was gone. I thought to myself, fifty years have passed, who still remembers your heroic words from Lei Jing? Besides, the warriors from a small place like Tianmoling are indeed better than Not the descendants of those semi-saint families and saints. This is fate. When you are born, you are destined to be inferior to others. "

"But when you appeared, I seemed to see hope again."

"With your talent, even if you are placed in the Holy Court, you will definitely belong to the first-class level. If you can make a name for yourself in the Holy Court, in the future, I can step into the Holy Court again with pride and seize the old people. The sleeves of the classmates, glaring nostrils, tell them that you are my disciple of Lei Jing. I, Lei Jing, keep my word and come back again!"

Zhang Ruochen said: "So, this is what the cabinet wanted me to do?"

"What? Do you regret it?" Lei Jing said.

Zhang Ruochen said: "The pavilion master's former enemies are probably high-ranking figures now. Aren't you afraid that I will also be attacked and retaliated by your original enemies in the Holy Court?"

Hearing Zhang Ruochen's words, Lei Jing was not surprised at all, but understood it very well.

If he could say this honestly, he was actually mentally prepared to be rejected by Zhang Ruochen.

Lei Jing let out a long breath and said, "You can choose to refuse. After all, it is of no benefit to you. Instead, it may lead to death."

Fifty years later, Lei Jing's mentality has changed a lot. He no longer relies solely on his passion to rush forward as before, and eventually suffered a bloody head injury.

As people get older, they have more things to consider!

Lei Jing took out an ice jade box from his arms, handed it to Zhang Ruochen, and said: "In the box, there is a 500-year-old ice snow lotus. Taking it can help you break through to the extreme realm of the earth." "Practice hard. No matter whether you enter the Holy Academy or not, the competition will be cruel."

After saying this, Lei Jing was about to leave.

"Wait a moment!"

Zhang Ruochen held the ice jade box and said, "I originally owed the pavilion master a favor and promised to do something for the pavilion master. Since I have already agreed, how can I go back on my words?"

Lei Jing's eyes lit up and he said, "Have you decided to be my disciple? As my disciple, enter the Holy Courtyard? Aren't you afraid of being hostile to the saint's clan?"

Zhang Ruochen said with a smile: "Since ancient times, the poor family and the saint family have been in opposition. Although I am a prince, in the eyes of the descendants of the saint family, a prince from an inferior county is no different from a poor person. Even if I don't If you enter the Holy Court as a disciple of the Pavilion Master, won’t you be met with hostility?”

Lei Jing laughed loudly, patted Zhang Ruochen's shoulders with both hands, and said, "Don't worry, with your talent, even if you enter the Holy Court in the future, you will be valued by the higher-ups of the Holy Court. Not even the saints would dare to Deal with you easily."

"Do you know why I said at that time that I would only accept you as a disciple if you could reach the top 100 in the "Earth Ranking"?"

Zhang Ruochen said: "Because only if you reach the top 100 in the "Earth Ranking" will you be taken seriously by the higher-ups of the Holy Academy. Only in this way can my safety be guaranteed."

"That's right."

Lei Jing said: "However, I didn't expect that you not only have the strength to be in the top 100 of the "Earth Ranking", but you may even hope to reach the top ten of the "Earth Ranking" in the future. No, it is very promising."

"Zhang Ruochen, don't go to the third actual combat test yet. Refine the Ice Domain Snow Lotus first and break through the realm."

Once he breaks through the realm, Zhang Ruochen's strength will definitely increase greatly. By then, it will not just be as simple as just entering the 100th place on the "Earth Ranking".

Zhang Ruochen slowly opened the ice jade box, and a blast of ice came out of the box, immediately causing the temperature in the surrounding air to drop suddenly.

In the box, there is a crystal clear snow lotus, which looks like it is carved from jade and exudes a faint medicinal fragrance.

"There are five petals in total. It is indeed a 500-year-old ice snow lotus."

Zhang Ruochen looked happy, picked off one of the snow lotus petals, and put it into his mouth.

The petals are like a thin ice crystal. After entering the mouth, they melt instantly and turn into a stream of ice that pours into the belly.

The medicinal power of the ice snow lotus is very strong. Almost instantly, it fills all the meridians in Zhang Ruochen's body, as if the true energy is frozen.

Zhang Ruochen immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, clasped his hands together, raised them above his head, and silently recited the third level of the "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra". The spiritual fire energy in his body slowly circulated in his meridians.

Generally speaking, five-hundred-year-old Ice Domain Snow Lotus can already be used to help Dzogchen warriors in the Earthly Realm reach the Heavenly Realm.

However, Zhang Ruochen's talent far exceeds that of ordinary warriors, and he naturally needs more resources to break through.

It is just right to use Ice Domain Snow Lotus to attack the Great Ultimate of the Earth Realm.

Zhang Ruochen's refining speed is extremely fast, and it takes almost only an hour to refine the medicinal power of one petal.

Five hours passed, and the five petals were completely absorbed by him.

The true energy in his body expanded to the extreme.

With only the naked eye, he could see wisps of spiritual energy like spiritual snakes flowing around his body.

Next, Zhang Ruochen picked up Xuelian's lotus seeds, swallowed them in his belly, and made the final sprint.

"He is just attacking the Great Ultimate of the Earth Realm, but he actually needs to consume so many resources. It is indeed beyond the comparison of ordinary warriors."

Lei Jing originally thought that Zhang Ruochen only needed to refine five snow lotus petals to break through, but now the situation was completely beyond his expectation.

Zhang Ruochen took the lotus seeds from the Snow Lotus in the Ice Realm, but it seemed that it still couldn't satisfy the demand. He needed more energy to break through the realm.

"He has reached the most critical moment of breakthrough!"

Lei Jing took out a drop of holy liquid and looked at Zhang Ruochen.

The holy liquid was like a bright star, suspended on his fingertips.

Lei Jing pointed out and hit the holy liquid between Zhang Ruochen's eyebrows.

The mark of Shenwu appeared between Zhang Ruochen's eyebrows and he quickly absorbed the drop of holy liquid.

"boom!"

The Qi sea between Zhang Ruochen's brows made a soft sound and immediately expanded seventeen times.

Finally, he broke through to the extreme level of the earth in one fell swoop.

The aura that was originally floating around Zhang Ruochen's body seemed to be attracted by a force, and quickly rushed towards Zhang Ruochen's eyebrows and into the sea of ​​​​qi.

After a while, Zhang Ruochen stood up again and tried to move his muscles. He felt so powerful that even a Tianji realm warrior standing in front of him could fly away with one palm.

This feeling is so good!

"Thank you, Master, for helping me." Zhang Ruochen bowed his hands.

In fact, what Lei Jing could teach Zhang Ruochen was very limited, but the other party did help Zhang Ruochen a lot and deserved Zhang Ruochen's respect.

Although there is no actual relationship between master and disciple, there is still the meaning of master and disciple.

Lei Jing smiled and said: "Zhang Ruochen, do you want to test your strength and speed again?"

"No need, I can probably know my current strength." Zhang Ruochen said.

Lei Jing said: "How many places are you planning to challenge for the third actual combat test on the "Earth Ranking"?"

"No. 100." Zhang Ruochen said.

Lei Jing was slightly stunned and said, "Didn't you already defeat her in the second match?"

"I want to give it a try. Now, I need to use a few moves to defeat her." Zhang Ruochen said.

"Okay! You make your own decision!" Lei Jing said.

Zhang Ruochen entered the test chamber again and once again saw Yan Qingwu, the 100th person on the "Earth Ranking".

Yan Qingwu walked out of the stone wall holding a war sword, stared at Zhang Ruochen and said, "Why is it you again?"

"In the previous battle, we couldn't tell the winner, so I will naturally continue to challenge you." Zhang Ruochen said.

Yan Qingwu's eyes turned cold and she said: "Okay! In the previous battle, I didn't expect that you had high-grade soldiers, so you cut off the sword. If we fight again, we will definitely not let you succeed again. . There may not be a way to crack it if the sword's heart is clear."

Almost any warrior who can enter the top 100 of the "Earth Ranking" can become the king of their area, making the younger generation invincible.

The same is true for Yan Qingwu. From childhood to adulthood, she has never experienced a defeat.

She is very confident in her own strength, even if she is facing a warrior who has achieved the clarity of the sword's heart.

Yan Qingwu stood with her sword horizontally, raised her arm slightly, and formed a hand gesture. She seemed to be attacking, but also seemed to be defending, which made people confused.

After a previous confrontation, both of them knew enough about each other to be able to choose their fighting style calmly.
