Chapter 136: Chapter 123 Battle Platform (Please Subscribe)

Blue Star is the capital of the Blue Star Federation, and its public safety is quite good.

Especially Blue Star University!

As a top-tier university, any follower of an Evil God who thinks about causing trouble is practically giving themselves away!

Therefore, when Fang Xing settled down to focus on his studies and martial arts, he felt the days were peaceful and time flew by.

His daily schedule was almost always full, starting with classes, then immersing himself in the holographic virtual cabin, sometimes for studying, sometimes for playing games.

When the weekend came, he would end his seclusion and join some friends for drinks and meat.

Hmm, that Song Jingang kid comes from a well-off family and always insists on picking up the tab, making Fang Xing not mind bringing him along.

Until this day.

Training Room.

"Train until the physique resembles the Dragon Shape, the body like a tiger passing through..."

Fang Xing let out a light shout, opening his eyes.

At that moment, it seemed as if a dragon shadow appeared in one eye while a fierce tiger lay dormant in the other.

Roar roar!

His physique was astonishing, his blood qi was like a dragon’s, his breath like a tiger’s.

Within the small quiet room, it seemed as though dragons and tigers dwelled therein.

Images of a dragon and a tiger leaped from Fang Xing’s eyes, forming a black and white Tai Chi Diagram, positioning him at the center, as if he were the dividing line of Tai Chi.

"Dragon Tiger Realm, finally mastered."

After a long while, Fang Xing took a deep breath.

"During this period, my main focus was on improving the Hidden Tiger Stance, but the Great Dragon Stance also progressed slowly..."

"Finally, just now, both have broken through to the Fifth Stage, entering the ’Grandmaster’ level."

"The attribute panel’s skill level, after Master, is Grandmaster, huh?"

Achieving Grandmaster status, one almost stands as tall as those who created martial arts.

Allowing Fang Xing to look down from a high place and easily, with little effort, to fuse the two Pile Skills based on his own body, creating the most suitable Pile Skill for himself—Dragon Tiger Stance!

Thanks to this, he successfully integrated the Dragon Intent Realm and the Hidden Tiger Realm into the ’Dragon Tiger Realm’!

No, as of now, it is the ’Dragon Tiger Domain’!

"Teacher Pan Xiong was right; taking advantage of the enlightenment at the moment of breakthrough to directly merge the dragon and tiger saves an untold amount of effort later on."

Fang Xing smiled in satisfaction, then with a thought.

In the corner, a cup lifted into the air and landed in front of him.

This scene was actually quite astonishing!

Even the former him would have to at least exert a thread of Qi Force, making the Innate True Qi appear like a filament, in order to ’fish’ the cup over.

But now, without stirring any True Qi throughout his body, simply with a shift in thought, he managed it through the power of his Domain!

This is the influence of spirit over matter!

"With the Dragon Tiger Domain achieved, plus my already perfect Mud Pill Palace, breaking into the Outer Realm is indeed a simple matter..."

Of course, some of the details and insights of the breakthrough were contributed by the Great Library and Pan Xiong.

"Xia Long’s Outer Realm is the Thunderbolt Purgatory... Obviously, his Realm leans toward the Thunderbolt Dao."

"My Outer Realm is based on the dragon and tiger... The dragon and the tiger represent yin and yang!"

With a thought from Fang Xing, a dragon and a tiger suddenly leaped out in the Void!

The dragon was pitch-black like ink, each scale glistening with a cold light and its head adorned with twin horns, its belly with four claws.

The tiger was a black-striped white tiger, languid in posture, its forehead marked with an imposing king character.

These two seemed to shed their shadowy form and almost turned into real objects.

Roar roar!

Amidst the Dragon Roar and Tiger Roar, the black dragon and white tiger instantly disintegrated, transforming back into the spinning black and white Tai Chi Diagram...

"The Domain is initially established, not bad at all."

Fang Xing sighed, turning to his attribute panel:

[Name: Fang Xing]

[Age: 19]

[Profession: Martial Artist]

[Fifth Realm: Outer Realm (1/400)]

[Dragon Tiger Stance: 1/800 (Grandmaster)]

[Military Boxing Twelve Styles: 245/400 (Master)]

[Ghost God Saber: 225/400 (Master)]

[Extreme Emotion Sword: 235/400 (Master)]

[Dragon Elephant Skill: 312/400 (Master)]

[Great Vajra Wisdom Divine Power: 5/200 (Master)]

[Great Sun Tathagata Mantra: 20/200 (Master)]

[Heavenly Mother’s Mighty Golden Lotus Twin Guardian Manual: 1/200 (Master)]

[Dancing Sky Steps: 9/200 (Master)]

[Gate of All Heavens (Charging)]

...

"Do I need eight hundred to reach Grandmaster proficiency?"

"Once Grandmaster is perfected, that should be the peak of the Domain... I wonder if there’s a higher level?"

Thanks to the last Enlightenment of the Wan Ling Catalog, his other martial skills also made good progress.

Of course, the ’Great Sun Tathagata Mantra’ is still suppressed, and ’Heavenly Mother’s Mighty Golden Lotus Twin Guardian Manual’ continued to increase in proficiency because the Cultivation Avatar has been active.

But after reaching mastery, it came to a halt.

Because this secret technique is limited by the level of the ’Great Sun Tathagata Mantra.’

Before the ’Great Sun Tathagata Mantra’ makes a breakthrough, it’s impossible to continue upward.

"Although they are both S-grade martial arts, Dancing Sky Steps is much easier to progress than ’Great Vajra Wisdom Divine Power’..."

"Now that I’m a Master in rank, combined with the power of my Domain, I should be able to achieve body flight similar to the Martial Arts Golden Core... Sigh, I guess I’ll sell my skateboard on the second-hand market another day, a loss is a loss..."

Fang Xing rose to his feet, clenching his fists.

Feeling the strength in his limbs far surpassing that of yesterday, his heart surged with excitement, "With the Outer Realm combined with the Master rank of the Great Vajra Wisdom Divine Power, quadruple burst... I should try testing the waters at the Battle Platform."

"But there’s no rush for that."

He stepped out of the Training Room and leapt off the balcony.

Splash!

The swimming pool below immediately erupted with a large spray of water...

...

After thoroughly bathing and feasting to satisfy his cravings, Fang Xing lay down contentedly in the Holographic Virtual Cabin.

"Master... It’s been quite a while since you last visited Xiao Lan."

Xiao Lan fluttered her wings in front of Fang Xing, her tone tinged with a hint of resentment.

"Didn’t we just play the game yesterday? Let’s take a break..."

Fang Xing flicked his finger, causing Xiao Lan to cover her forehead. She didn’t fly away but circled around Fang Xing again and again, "Master, master, are we going to play a game or have a big adventure today?"

"No, today it’s off to the Battle Platform."

Walking through the Blue Star community, his fellow students would occasionally nod at Fang Xing in recognition.

After all, the position of top student in the Martial Arts department at the start of school had been rightfully earned through combat.

Especially since Gu Jiantong had entered the Battle Platform these days, showing off his formidable strength.

It was just that for some reason, Fang Xing had never once stepped onto the Battle Platform, appearing very low-key.

When Fang Xing arrived at the Battle Platform, the building, with a style reminiscent of the Roman Colosseum, greeted him first with the ranking list:

[Battle Ranking, No. 1, Dark Star, Nine Swords Academy]

...

"The second and third haven’t changed either. Is our Blue Star University doomed to be the perennial underdog?"

Fang Xing scoffed but understood the situation.

Even with his talent, many teachers believed he couldn’t break through to the Golden Core during his university years.

Thus being an Outer Realm Martial Artist was already top notch within the elite universities.

The three who stood at the peak of all Outer Realm Martial Artists obviously wouldn’t be so easily toppled.

"Master, I’ve sorted out the latest rules of the Battle Platform for you, including the upcoming updates. Should I read them to you?"

Xiao Lan looked around excitedly,

"The rules of the Battle Platform are simple, enter the arena, and victory or defeat is determined by life or death..."

"Pharmacists and Mecha Masters can participate, and the Medicine or Mecha used during the battle... must be independently completed by oneself in the Virtual Space..."

"The top ten seats have credit rewards every month, so on the last day of the month, you must accept ten challenges, otherwise, it is considered a forfeit..."

"The challengers at the end of the month must be within the top hundred on the ranking list!"

"Currently, the last place on the ranking list is No. 53914!"

...

Quickly going through the rules, Fang Xing felt the number of competitors was indeed a bit overwhelming.

"The three top-tier universities only recruit around three thousand people each year... With a ten-year program, that’s only thirty thousand people..."

"But there are other schools above Blue Star, such as Blue Star Public Security University, situated nearby and definitely not missing out... Song Jingang was also boasting about entering the top ten thousand before..."

"And how many first-rate universities has the current virtual network connected to?"

"Over fifty thousand opponents... that’s manageable."

Fang Xing nodded, "Xiao Lan, register me!"

"Okay, master. Matching has begun."

Xiao Lan revealed a mischievous smile, "Match successful... wishing you a triumphant first battle!"

Fang Xing felt the environment around him shift instantly.

When he regained his senses, he was standing atop a vast yellow earth.

Not far away was a young student dressed in a black trench coat, with a Nine Swords emblem on his back.

"Nine Swords Academy, Cen Weizhi, I request your guidance!"

Cen Weizhi removed his right glove, revealing a hand that radiated an eerie black and red color, with scattered scales on his skin.

He too was a favored son of heaven, fond of swordsmanship since childhood. After enrolling at the Nine Swords Academy and training hard for nearly a year, with the aid of various resources and treasures, he converted into a [Ghost Swordsman]!

This is the preliminary Profession to a [Sword Saint], requiring the sealing of special Ghost God powers into a part of the body.

After becoming a [Ghost Swordsman], one must further endure the trials of Fire Sword Path, Earth Sword Path, Wind Sword Path, Water Sword Path... and the other nine distinct Sword Paths to eventually become a [Sword Saint], even releasing the ’Star-destroying Sword’!

With just one person and one sword, one could possess the power to destroy a planet!

"Fame and glory begin today, witness my ’Ghost Sword Finger’!"

Each of his five fingers released an incredibly sharp Sword Qi, fusing five types of Sword Qi within one palm, with both palm and sword techniques remarkably ingenious.

"Not bad Martial Arts there, pity about the performer."

Fang Xing flicked his right hand lightly, and Cen Weizhi watched his entire right arm fly off.

Then...

A shadow of a fist covered the sky and smashed his face completely into his skull.

[Ding, you’ve achieved a victory, current rank 36872!]

"Oh? So this ranking system also has a function to estimate strength?"

Fang Xing was slightly surprised, and then said, "Continue!"

This time, he was standing at the foot of a volcano, the air filled with volcanic ash, and the ground covered with flowing crimson lava.

Opposite him stood a man in a black robe with blood-red long hair.

"Li Wei?!"

Fang Xing’s eyes lit up, "Finally caught you!"

"Do we have some sort of misunderstanding between us?"

Li Wei was utterly bewildered; their first encounter was during the Hundred Star Joint Exam, but he was certain he had never crossed paths with Fang Xing!

Was this guy really so petty? Was he harboring a grudge just because Li Wei had taken second place?
