Crushing will, true genius!
Withdrawing his gaze, Jiang Qing looked elsewhere.
The Jiangcheng City Lord and the Special Affairs Bureau Branch Master guarded one direction, while the Civilization Teacher Association Branch Master and the Martial Artist Alliance Branch Master guarded another.
With strong individuals protecting all four directions, the Throne sat in the center, ensuring the Legacy would not be invaded by external enemies.
The development of the Legacy would impact Jiangcheng's progress for a period, so most of Jiangcheng's military forces were gathered here to prevent any accidents.
Not long after, the vortex at the Legacy entrance slowly rotated, about to open.
Seeing this, everyone became excited; yesterday's trip to the Legacy filled them with anticipation.
Especially after Yu Shuxuan's Divine Script Awakening, this anticipation grew even stronger.
Martial Artists were already above ordinary people, and the status of Civilization Masters was even higher than Martial Artists, revered by everyone.
To become a Civilization Master was to ascend to heaven in one step; their future Cultivation path would be much easier than a Martial Artist's and they would more easily acquire resources.
Yu Shuxuan successfully comprehended Divine Script by relying on her improved Comprehension Ability after entering the Legacy, which filled the others with anticipation as well.
On the mountain peak,
The Jiangcheng City Lord swept his gaze across the entire scene, his resonant voice spreading throughout the Legacy entrance: "What needed to be said was already said yesterday. Everyone, prepare to enter the Legacy."
As soon as he finished speaking, the vortex at the Legacy entrance spun violently, shimmering with dark, brilliant light, interspersed with purple electric arcs.
Everyone verified their identity in sequence; only after passing verification could they enter the Legacy.
Jiang Qing didn't take long to complete the verification and slowly walked towards the Legacy entrance.
As he stepped, he attracted several gazes.
The strong individuals on the mountain peak looked at him with anticipation.
"Is this the latest Genius to rise from Yucai High School? He shattered a high-level Crow Person Martial Artist with one punch as a Level 5 Martial Artist. This strength alone shows his daily diligence, and the only thing that could give him such terrifying combat power amplification is a 'Comprehension of Form' Realm Martial Arts."
"To Cultivate a Martial Arts to the Comprehension of Form Realm requires many days of arduous Cultivation. A Cultivator who can deduce a Martial Arts to this Realm possesses extraordinary tenacity. It is likely he will go further than others."
...
Jiang Qing stepped into the Legacy.
His vision blurred, and the scene before him changed.
Jiang Qing was in a dark place; looking up, the sky was filled with continuous dark clouds, and purple electric arcs flickered between them, making one tremble.
Those who entered the Legacy before him had already begun to advance. Jiang Qing tried to take a step forward, and an invisible pressure swept over his entire Physical Body, like a large mountain resting on his shoulders.
"The pressure will increase with the strength of the challenger. It seems this Legacy of Legacy tests willpower."
Jiang Qing had passed through too many Legacies, large and small, and he quickly determined the key point of this Trial challenge.
Jiang Qing no longer lingered, stepping forward continuously as if walking on flat ground.
Layer after layer of pressure grew heavier the further he advanced, but it could not affect Jiang Qing in the slightest; his speed remained undiminished, as if there was no pressure at all.
After several deployments, Jiang Qing's willpower was terrifyingly strong. He could endure a year of arduous Physical Body tempering, madly practicing Martial Arts, patiently Cultivating to Breakthrough, all of which made his willpower even more resilient.
From the moment he started stepping, Jiang Qing's speed never stopped. He quickly overtook those who entered the Legacy before him and began to climb, gradually surpassing everyone in front.
Every step he took, special energy tempered his Physical Body, and Jiang Qing's Physical Body strength increased accordingly, while everything he thought in his mind became clearer.
"The effect is indeed good, and it helps me greatly."
Jiang Qing's speed quickened even more; the rapid increase in his Physical Body strength filled him with joy.
It had been a while since he had felt such a rapid improvement. The cheat-like progress speed intoxicated him.
At this moment, those surpassed by Jiang Qing were completely stunned,
"My goodness, which school's student is this, so brave? Doesn't he feel any pressure?"
"Hiss, I remember now, Yucai High School's number one Genius, Jiang Qing! Some time ago, at the pep rally, he displayed Level 5 Martial Artist cultivation and shattered a high-level Crow Person Martial Artist with one punch!"
"This is a true Genius. Even the senior students who have been studying in universities for a year in the previous batch can't compare to him. The one who ultimately obtains the Legacy will definitely be him!"
...
People were constantly being surpassed by Jiang Qing, and he quickly reached the first echelon.
Those who could reach here were basically Geniuses from the previous batch; having studied in university for a year, their willpower was stronger, much better than the fresh-faced third-year high school students.
Originally, they were the most dazzling existences among the crowd, but at the moment Jiang Qing appeared, they paled in comparison.
Not long after, Jiang Qing surpassed everyone to reach first place, and he was still advancing at an exaggerated speed.
The further he walked, the more special energy Jiang Qing received. His body was completely enveloped by purple special energy, and solidified purple electric arcs jumped and flickered, as if he were a Thunder Monarch.
The exaggerated scene astonished the Geniuses of the previous batch.
"Holy cow, I haven't been back for a year, and our Jiangcheng has produced such a Heaven-Defying Genius in this batch?"
"It's too exaggerated. This kind of willpower can't even be matched by Geniuses from big cities. How did our Jiangcheng manage to produce such a Genius?"
"Terrifying! Even if he can't pass the Legacy Trial this time, he'll still gain a lot of benefits. There will be a good show to watch during the college entrance exam. A Genius of this level participating in the college entrance exam is undoubtedly a crushing victory."
...
The discussions were endless,
Jiang Qing's figure rapidly receded, eventually even the sound of people's discussions could no longer be heard.
Having walked this distance, the special energy surrounding Jiang Qing revealed its true form, clearly condensed from streaks of purple lightning.
Looking to the side, there was a purple jade cauldron.
This was the fourth purple jade cauldron Jiang Qing had seen in the Trial Grounds, indicating that he had reached the fourth stage of the Trial.
Outside, by the Legacy entrance, there were nine purple jade cauldrons, and there were also some inside.
These nine purple jade cauldrons represented that the Trial had nine stages in total; only by passing the ninth purple jade cauldron was the Trial considered complete.
The person who walked the furthest yesterday only completed the third stage and failed before reaching the fourth purple jade cauldron.
Jiang Qing reaching the fourth stage meant his willpower far surpassed others.
"This small purple jade cauldron has already reacted; I should be able to obtain the true Legacy after walking about two more stages."
The small purple jade cauldron in Jiang Qing's hand emitted light, and the further he walked, the brighter the light became.
Presumably, when he crosses a certain boundary, this Legacy key will take effect, allowing Jiang Qing to obtain the Legacy without having to complete the entire Trial Grounds.
After walking that last stretch, Jiang Qing's Comprehension Ability improved rapidly, and his Realm in various Martial Arts Cultivation Techniques advanced quickly.
If even the challengers could gain such benefits, wouldn't the true Legacy directly make one soar?
...
At the same time,
Outside, at the Legacy entrance.
Everyone was discussing animatedly as the fourth purple jade cauldron lit up.
