When Wu Yong saw the direction of the target, he immediately cursed.
"Oh right, that A grade genius is called Ling Xiao. Oh right, I remember that he's a student from your middle school! He even called me big brother!"
Wu Yong was really anxious this time and hurriedly began to explain.
However, when he said that, the people around him shook their heads.
"This illness is too serious. They can't even tell the truth. How can a mere No. 17 High School produce an A grade genius? If they did, they would have long entered the First High School! He even called him 'brother'. That was too ridiculous.”
"Poor Old Wu. After so many years, he finally succeeded in his certification, but he actually got such an illness.”
"Old Wang, you should send him to the medical department quickly! It'll be fine in a few days at most!"
………………
………………
Due to Wu Yong's words, the surrounding people were even more convinced that there was something wrong with his brain.
"That's right, Old Wu. I only have a student called Ling Xiao in my middle school. However, he was just an ordinary student who didn't even have 500 kilograms of strength two days ago. Although he awakened an F-class superpower, he can't be considered a genius!
Come with me to the medical department. You'll know if you're sick when you come out!”
However, Old Wang, who was holding Wu Yong's hand, spoke up helplessly. That's right, he was Ling Xiao High School's instructor, Instructor Wang.
Originally, he had believed Wu Yong's words, but now that he heard it, it was even more ridiculous. His student was an A grade genius? As a teacher, how could he not know?
One had to know that the instructor was the form teacher in this era.
"F * ck, even you don't believe me! Also, is there really only one person called Ling Xiao in your school? And he's just an ordinary student?"
At this moment, Wu Yong was really stunned.
Could it be that he was really delusional? Was it because he had a memory after seeing the news on the official website this morning?
As for the name Ling Xiao, he might have made it up after hearing Old Wang mention it before.
It was not impossible. People with hallucinations could not differentiate between their memories and reality.
"Sigh, there's only one Ling Xiao. You'd better come with me to take a look. Treat him well. It'll only take a few days!”
Seeing that Wu Yong was starting to doubt himself, Instructor Wang sighed and pulled Wu Yong along to get checked.
"Eh? Brother Wu, Instructor Wang, so the two of you know each other!”
However, at this moment, a voice made the two people who were about to leave instantly freeze on the spot.
This familiar voice made the two of them turn their heads at the same time. The surrounding martial artists who were watching the show also looked over.
However, when they saw the person who had come, everyone's pupils constricted violently. They saw a fifteen-year-old youth with a martial artist badge on his chest. He wore a black battle suit of unknown rank and carried a long spear that was emitting flames on his back as he walked towards Lao Wang and Wu Yong.
At this moment, everyone was shocked. Even if their eyesight was poor, they could still sense that this flaming spear was definitely a powerful weapon of the second step or above.
"Hiss! He had become a martial artist at such a young age. Could he be a super genius from the First High School?“
"Didn't you hear that genius call him Instructor Wang? F * ck, could it be that what Old Wu said just now was true?”
"This is a big problem!"
………………
………………
At this moment, everyone who wasn't stupid instantly guessed something.
"F * ck, Brother Ling Xiao, you're a real person. I thought I was really hallucinating!”
However, the most excited person at this moment was naturally Wu Yong. He was so excited that he was almost moved to tears. It was not easy!
A second ago, he had already started to doubt his life. Now, he did not expect Ling Xiao to be a real person.
"Uh, of course I'm serious. Brother Wu, what are you talking about?”
Ling Xiao was also stunned. Why was Wu Yong so agitated?
How could he know what Wu Yong had encountered?
"Ling Xiao, are you really Ling Xiao?”
Instructor Wang, who was at the side, widened his eyes and looked at Ling Xiao in disbelief.
"D * mn, Instructor Wang, I haven't even graduated yet, and you don't recognize me?”
Ling Xiao was speechless.
"Hiss, it really is you!"
Instructor Wang finally reacted. He took a deep breath and his heart was in turmoil.
"Oh right, it's good that you're here. I was about to tell you that I won't be taking part in this year's martial arts examination. I'm going to apply for the Imperial Capital's first advanced martial arts school and will be leaving today.
I don't want you to be careful!"
Suddenly, Ling Xiao seemed to have thought of something and smiled at Instructor Wang.
As soon as his words came out, all the martial artists in the surroundings sucked in a breath of cold air. At this moment, most of them already believed Wu Yong's words just now.
"Damn, what's going on with you, kid? Could it be that the [A ] class genius is really you??”
Instructor Wang finally lost his composure and hurriedly asked Ling Xiao.
"Uh, if Instructor Wang is talking about the A grade genius who was certified yesterday, it should be me. It's just that the process is a little complicated and troublesome to talk about!”
Ling Xiao was also helpless. How could he explain this?
After all, he had been his teacher for a few years. He couldn't just brush him off, right?
He had to find a more reasonable reason.
"Buzz!"
However, at this moment, something strange happened. As a wave of fluctuation descended, the entire land was suddenly enveloped by a huge shadow.
At this moment, everyone could not help but raise their heads to look at the sky.
However, this glance made everyone's mouths drop in shock.、
In the sky, a huge spaceship covered the entire city center.
The huge shadow made them suck in a breath of cold air.
"Devil Sky Ship, it's Inspector Situ Tian's Devil Sky Ship!”
"Why would the Devil Sky Ship appear here?”
"Did something big happen?”
………………
………………
At this moment, everyone looked at the sky in shock.
Situ Tian was a grandmaster. He was the emperor of the entire Demonic Sky Province.
He did not expect the other party to actually descend personally.
"Buzz!"
However, at this moment, a huge hatch slowly opened in the sky. Then, a dazzling traction beam fell from the sky.
"That's great! Brother Ling Xiao, you're finally here! Even Lord Situ Tian is here!”
At the same time, an anxious voice came from the direction of the Martial Arts Alliance. Then, Gan Wu rushed out anxiously and happened to see Ling Xiao, who was still talking to Instructor Wang and the others.
"Instructor Wang, if you have anything to say, wait for me to come back. I'll go first!”
Ling Xiao smiled and said something to Instructor Wang when he saw how anxious Gan Wu was. Then, he walked towards the tractor beam that had landed on the ground.
"Buzz!"
In the next moment, under an invisible force, Ling Xiao soared into the sky and finally flew into the spaceship.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Then, with a loud boom, the Devil Sky Ship that covered the sky turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky of Caiyun City.
Only Old Wang and the others who had yet to recover from their shock were left behind!
How did his student, who only had ordinary talent, become the number one genius of Blue Water Star? This change was a little hard for him to accept. After all, he had not discovered the other party's talent for so many years. This made him look like a useless instructor.
……………………
……………………
"Student Ling Xiao, we meet again!”
On the other side, Ling Xiao had just entered the cabin of the spaceship when a brawny man came up to him with a bright smile.
The person in front of him was the person who had brought Ling Xiao to meet Situ Tian yesterday, Zhao Wu.
He was also a teacher at the top academy in the Imperial Capital.
"So it's Teacher Zhao! We meet again!"
Ling Xiao also smiled and greeted him.
"Hahaha, no need to be so polite! Let's go, Student Ling Xiao. The other students have been waiting for a long time!”
Zhao Wu looked at the youth in front of him with envy. He naturally knew that Ling Xiao's combat suit and weapon were top-grade rank-3. After all, even he could not afford those things.
This was the benefit of being an [A ] grade genius!
"Yes, I'll have to trouble Teacher Zhao to lead the way!”
Ling Xiao nodded slightly, and under Zhao Wu's lead, they walked into the depths of the cabin.
To be honest, the size of the Devil Sky Ship was the same as a small city. After all, a diameter of several thousand meters was already very large.
Soon, the two of them arrived at a huge cabin. Ling Xiao realized that the cabin was one kilometer in diameter, which was one million square meters.
Moreover, the surroundings were forged from at least Stage Three materials. It could be said that the strength was extremely terrifying.
Even a late stage Xiantian expert could easily resist here.
There were already more than 20 geniuses around the age of 20 standing in this cabin.
When these people saw Ling Xiao, they all looked over in unison.
"This kid is the new [A ] class genius?”
"That's him. I didn't expect him to come from a third-rate small city. It seems that he just got lucky and accumulated a lot of energy after awakening his superpower!”
"You can't say that. Even so, his talent is real. If his talent isn't enough, it's impossible for him to accumulate so much energy. Perhaps in two years, he will be the representative of our Blue Water Star!”
"That also depends on his actual combat ability and martial arts comprehension ability. If he wants to be a representative, it's not just about his cultivation speed!”
………………
………………
Instantly, the surrounding twenty geniuses all began to discuss. They were almost all fifth-year students from the number one academy in the Imperial Capital.
Therefore, they did not care about Ling Xiao, who was five years younger than them and had not undergone any systematic training.
At least, this year, it was still their home ground.
"Everyone, there are still three minutes before the ship can accelerate into the dark universe. At that time, the representative selection will begin.
The selection criteria was the same as before. Strength was the most important!”
At this moment, Zhao Wu looked at these geniuses and spoke solemnly.
However, Situ Tian naturally didn't need to step in for the selection.
The others did not pay much attention to it, but Ling Xiao's eyes flashed.
"Dark universe? It was said that after accelerating the spaceship to a certain speed, the interdimensional engine could open the dark universe. In the dark universe, the speed of the spaceship could instantly increase by 100 million times, and it would not be blocked by the stars and meteorites along the way.
However, without this technology, how could the distance of several light years or even hundreds of thousands of light years in the Great Universe Era be reached so quickly?
This kind of technology could only be carried by spaceships of the fourth rank and above. It seemed that he had to take a good look!”
Ling Xiao curiously looked at the see-through wall not far away from the cabin.
This wall looks transparent and you can see the outside world
As the speed of the spaceship increased rapidly, Ling Xiao could clearly see that the surrounding stars were beginning to show signs of fading.
"Beep beep beep! We are about to enter the dark universe. Everyone, please be prepared!”
Suddenly, an electronic voice sounded.
All the surrounding geniuses held their breaths as they looked at the outside world. To be honest, if not for Ling Xiao delaying the assessment by a few days, other than the representatives, they would not have the right to ride a spaceship that was at least tier 4.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, as a whole wave spread out, the surrounding stars instantly disappeared, and the scene outside turned into darkness.
It was very stable and there was no jolt at all. The people around them did not feel anything either.
"That's it?"
Ling Xiao felt a little helpless. At that moment, the spaceship seemed to have plunged into a dark space. However, Ling Xiao knew that it was the so-called interdimensional engine.
As for the bumps, what a joke. With the speed increased by 100 million times, just a slight deviation could instantly destroy the plane and kill people.
Thus, the activation of the dark universe must not cause any shockwaves.
Otherwise, he would be courting death.
"Beep! We have successfully entered the dark universe. Please note that we are 7,000 light years away from our destination. Estimated flight time is 25 hours. No messages can be sent within the dark universe!”
At the same time, a notification sounded.
"Alright, everyone, the representative selection will begin now. We have 25 hours, so let's do it one-on-one! However, because you have a total of twenty-one people, one person will be a bye in the first round!”
At this moment, Zhao Wu looked at the geniuses present and said with a smile.
With that, he waved his right hand slightly.
In an instant, a card projection appeared in front of everyone.
"Choose the person with the same number as your opponent, and then go from one to ten. The person who draws the red number plate will enter the next round directly.”
Zhao Wu said with a smile.
As soon as he said that, all the other geniuses pointed at the number plate without hesitation.
Ling Xiao also tapped on his number tag.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, the number plate flipped over, and a bright red card appeared in front of Ling Xiao.
This scene stunned him.
"D * mn, a bye? Are these people that lucky?"
When Ling Xiao saw this scene, he could only smile helplessly.
That's right, it wasn't that he was lucky. It was the others. After all, these geniuses were destined to fail if they encountered him.
"The red number tag is actually that kid. His luck is too good!”
"I thought he would be eliminated in the first round. I didn't expect him to make it to the second round.”
"Luck is also a part of strength. Let's fight!”
………………
………………
The surrounding geniuses all had helpless expressions after seeing Ling Xiao's bye.
However, no one was envious. After all, they knew that a bye was only a temporary matter. Whether they could win in the end still depended on their true strength.
"This Ling Xiao is really lucky!"
Zhao Wu sighed, but he didn't care. He pressed on the void.
Crack!
At this moment, a huge square arena suddenly rose from the center of the cabin. It occupied almost 90% of the entire square.
"This round, Ling Xiao has a bye. Now, those who have drawn number one will start fighting. The rest of you, retreat to the edge of the stage!”
It was time for Zhao Wu to speak.
As soon as he said that, other than the two geniuses who drew number one, the rest of the people walked down the stage. Ling Xiao naturally did the same.
"Eh, I didn't expect there to be a female student in the first round! Moreover, this female student doesn't look old!”
Ling Xiao was stunned when he saw the two contestants.
A 17 or 18-year-old girl in a white martial arts suit and holding a long sword that emitted a cold aura.
Her long black hair fluttered slightly in the air. From the icy aura on her body, it was clear that this girl was an ice ability user.
Her peerlessly beautiful face made Ling Xiao sigh at how beautiful this era was.
"Hmm? Interesting, this little girl was not simple!”
Suddenly, Ling Xiao's eyes flashed as he felt the power contained within the girl's body.
Then, he turned on his combat instrument.
In an instant, the girl's data appeared in his eyes.
"Fine, looks like I have to fight for a spot with a girl in the finals!”
Looking at the data, Ling Xiao felt helpless.
"It's actually Li Yuanlun and Sikong Xue!?”
"It's said that Sikong Xue is only in her third year, but she's already at the seventh level of the Houtian realm. If she had two more years to condense her Xiantian Zhen Qi, she would definitely be the number one expert in our school.”
………………
……………………
However, the other geniuses were naturally more shocked than Ling Xiao.
One of them was the strongest genius before Ling Xiao came, Sikong Xue, while the other was ranked third. The first match was already the same as the finals!
"Buzz!"
In the next moment, a virtual barrier appeared at the edge of the arena, instantly enveloping the entire arena.
"This is a Tier 4 defensive barrier. Even I can't break it. You can attack at will, and there will definitely be no problems!”
Zhao Wu, who was below the arena, also spoke up.
"Since we're opponents, then I've offended junior! Don't worry, senior will hold back!"
When Li Yuanlun saw that his first opponent was Sikong Xue, he immediately smiled and cupped his hands.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
However, as soon as he finished speaking, an extremely terrifying chill enveloped Li Yuanlun like a flood.
The terrifying chill caused Li Yuanlun's expression to change drastically.
"First Sky of the Nascent Realm, how is this possible?”
Li Yuanlun turned pale with fright and hurriedly pulled out his long saber. At the same time, he erupted with all the true qi in his body in an attempt to resist the opponent's cold qi!
Crack!
However, in the next moment, the power of ice swept past and instantly froze his entire body!
The sudden scene made everyone present widen their eyes.
Even Zhao Wu and Situ Tian, who was watching this scene from the control room, stood up in shock!
"First Sky of the Nascent Realm, a seventeen year old First Sky of the Nascent Realm, and she's even a B-class esper who comprehended the power of ice. She's definitely an A class genius. How is this possible?”
At this moment, Situ Tian was so excited that his entire body was trembling.
This was the second [A ] grade genius, and it was one who had already grown up. Such talent definitely surpassed Ling Xiao by many streets. If his realm was a little stronger, he could even be rated as an [S] grade genius!
After all, Sikong Xue wasn't only powerful, she also had a B-class superpower!
"A Connate First Firmament with B-grade talent against a group of Connate First Firmament geniuses with C-grade talent at most. It seems like he should be able to crush them!”
Ling Xiao was the only one who smiled.
Among all the people present, there were a total of eighteen people who were at the seventh to ninth sky of the Houtian realm.
The remaining three were Ling Xiao, Sikong Xue, and a young man in his twenties who had his eyes wide open in shock.
His strength was also at the First Sky of the Nascent Realm, but his ability was not as strong. He was only at C class. After all, ability and cultivation speed could not be obtained at the same time. Those who had both were all super geniuses.
And now, Sikong Xue was one of them.
"However, this girl is not as simple as she looks. However, these so-called geniuses should not be able to arouse her talent!”
Following that, Ling Xiao's eyes flashed as he sensed a different aura from Sikong Xue.
Although he didn't know what it was, if it exploded, its power would definitely not be low.
Then, he did not pay any more attention to it. He closed his eyes and continued to go to his consciousness dojo to cultivate the Flaming Explosion!
"Teacher, I won, right? If you don't announce it, his life force will be gone!”
However, just as everyone was in shock, Sikong Xue coldly spoke.
"What? Oh, oh, oh, win, win! Sikong Xue won the first round!”
Hearing Sikong Xue's warning, Zhao Wu hurriedly shouted.
"Buzz!"
As expected, the ice that enveloped Li Yuanlun instantly dissipated as soon as he finished speaking.
Li Yuanlun, who had lost consciousness, also fell to the ground.
However, he was quickly sent to the medical cabin by the robot.
As for Sikong Xue, she slowly walked down from the flying ship.
" Next, the second round!!!"
Zhao Wu took a deep breath and spoke to the remaining people solemnly.
Time quickly passed by as the tests continued.
Meanwhile, Ling Xiao had been cultivating in his sea of consciousness for more than three hours.
" Second round begins!!!"
At that moment, Zhao Wu's voice pulled Ling Xiao back from the edge of cultivation.
The more Ling Xiao opened his eyes, the more he realized that the first round of assessment had already ended. After ten rounds, there were only eleven people left including him.
"Buzz!"
The next moment, a number plate appeared in front of everyone.
"Because the number of people is still one person. It's still the same as before. One person has a bye!”
At this moment, Zhao Wu spoke again.
This time, he was a little excited because the appearance of a genius like Sikong Xue made him feel that they might have a chance to send a genius into the Flaming Sun Academy!
Of course, this hope was in two years, not now. After all, with a B-grade talent and the strength of a Connate First Sky, although he could be ranked above average among all the planets, he was still far from entering the top 100.
"I don't know who my opponent will be. It won't be another bye, right?”
Of course, Ling Xiao did not have the time to care about anything else. He only wanted to quickly end the battle and return to continue cultivating.
Therefore, he tapped on the number tag.
"Buzz!"
However, when Ling Xiao's number plate flipped over, he was stunned. It was red again!
"F * ck, this kid got a bye again!”
This scene was instantly seen by the geniuses not far away.
"F * ck, why is my luck so good?“
"Yeah, two consecutive rounds of bye. Why does it feel like there's a conspiracy!”
"F * ck, what's going on?”
………………
………………
At this moment, the people around them were in an uproar.
It was a little ridiculous to have two consecutive passes!
"Silence, a bye is a matter of luck. He definitely didn't go backstage. Besides, it's impossible for a bye to be a representative in the end based on strength. Even if it continues, it still depends on strength!”
At this moment, Zhao Wu spoke.
As soon as he said that, the surrounding geniuses did not say anything else. This was only the selection representative and there was no reward.
The second place and the first to be eliminated were both losers.
"Alright, then I have time to cultivate again!”
Ling Xiao also smiled. It was better not to fight. It was just a formality anyway.
Then, he closed his eyes again and continued his cultivation.
The other five pairs of geniuses also began to fight.
This battle was clearly much stronger than the previous one, so the time used for each battle had increased by a lot. After five battles, it actually took five hours.
However, when the last match was about to end, something big happened on Ling Xiao's side.
In the sky above the consciousness dojo, a huge ball of fire with a diameter of 70 meters was slowly compressing in Ling Xiao's hand.
Right now, the fireball was already close to four times its original strength. As long as he broke through the last bit, Ling Xiao would be able to successfully cultivate his martial technique to the Perfect Stage.
"It's here!"
Suddenly, Ling Xiao's eyes lit up.
The ball of fire suddenly fluctuated.
"Buzz!"
In the next moment, the huge fireball was compressed several meters again.
In an instant, the fireball that was still slowly shrinking had reached its limit and could no longer shrink.
To be precise, if Ling Xiao continued to follow the technique of this martial technique, he would not be able to compress it any further.
"Ding…Congratulations to the host for successfully cultivating the Flaming Explosion to the Perfect Stage. Four times!"
At the same time, a notification sounded in Ling Xiao's mind.
Ling Xiao's lips curled up slightly when he heard the notification.
"I finally learned it. I've been cultivating for a full ten hours!”
Calculating the time, the difficulty of this martial technique was much greater than the spear technique!
"System, fix the flaws in my martial technique!”
Ling Xiao said to the system without hesitation.
"Ding…received order, discovered a loophole in your martial art, Flaming Explosion: 900,000, repair is about to begin!”
In an instant, the system responded.
Moreover, there were a total of 900,000 flaws, which was much stronger than the spear technique from before. However, they were both Tier 6 martial techniques. It was just that one was top-grade and the other was low-grade.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the next moment, the contents of a brand new cultivation technique surged into Ling Xiao's mind. As he felt the contents of these memories, Ling Xiao began to analyze them rapidly.
Fortunately, the system's memory transfer required a very long time for Ling Xiao to be able to control it. However, in the outside world, only an instant had passed.
In an instant, Ling Xiao had completely mastered the new martial technique, and his proficiency had soared to the perfect realm!
Ling Xiao was also pleasantly surprised when he sensed the powerful martial technique!
"Ding…Congratulations to the host, your martial arts skill, Flaming Explosion, has successfully fixed all the loopholes and evolved into: Nine Heavens Flaming Explosion (Top-grade Tier 6!)"
"Nine Heavens Flaming Explosion: Top-grade Tier 6 martial skill!
[First stage: Able to instantly compress the attack condensed from the fire attribute special ability by 100 times, thereby obtaining a 10 times increase in power!]
[Second stage: Instantly compress nine Flaming Bursts and combine them into the Nine Heavens Flaming Bursts, unleashing 15 times the power!] This stage required a terrifying amount of energy!”
Soon, the attributes of the new martial technique appeared in Ling Xiao's mind. He was very satisfied with the introduction.
It was ten times more powerful in its normal state, and it could even reach fifteen times when it exploded.
This was already far beyond his marksmanship.
"Let's try it first!"
Ling Xiao did not hesitate and directly soared into the sky from the consciousness dojo.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, waves of extremely violent power erupted from his body, and golden flames enveloped Ling Xiao's entire body.
In the next moment, Ling Xiao raised his hands into the sky.
" Buzz!"
In an instant, huge fireballs condensed rapidly in the sky.
Soon, nine terrifying fireballs with a diameter of 1,000 meters appeared in the sky.
"Retract!"
In the next moment, with Ling Xiao's low shout, the fireballs contracted violently, turning into ten fireballs with a diameter of ten meters in an instant.
" Nine Heavens Flaming Explosion!!!"
Following that, with a low shout from Ling Xiao, nine fireballs that were a hundred times more condensed instantly turned into nine streams of light and smashed onto the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, endless flames soared into the sky. The flames that destroyed everything spread in all directions, enveloping everything in their path.
Everything within a radius of more than 20 kilometers was engulfed by the scorching aura at this moment.
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed when he saw this scene.
He did not expect his strength to reach such a level in just a few days. If this move landed in Caiyun City, it would definitely wipe out Caiyun City in an instant.
Twenty kilometers was just the area covered by the flames, but there was still a large area that was directly melted by the heat wave.
The terrifying range of the attack was more than enough to destroy Caiyun City.
"Is this the martial artist of this world? Now, I can be considered to have entered the house!”
