164: Break through the fifth level
“Five thousand meters!”
Han Lie caressed the trunk of the Blood Qi Immortal Tree with satisfaction, looking at the nearly one million corpses of Universe of Myriad Races geniuses hanging from it, his sense of fulfillment almost overflowing.
Once the Blood Qi Immortal Tree grew a little more, it would reach the flying altitude of passenger planes, a height that was once unreachable in Han Lie’s eyes.
At the same time, the Blood Qi Immortal Tree was inherently a product of Blood Qi power connecting with heavenly phenomena, recognized by the Universe of Myriad Races rules. Therefore, its increasing robustness led to Han Lie’s Blood Qi becoming denser. He checked his panel with a thought.
“Blood Qi: 78597”
“Almost breaking through to Rank 5!”
Han Lie couldn't help but feel a little emotional. This speed was simply too fast. A year ago, the most formidable person he knew was the Old Principal, whose Martial Warrior Rank was only Rank 6.
It wasn’t that he looked down on Rank 6, but he realized that he seemed to be able to reach Rank 6 himself in not too long.
In the low-level Martial Warrior stage, as long as there was enough Blood Qi, there were no realm barriers. Therefore, even if he kept staying on the Town Suppressing Pagoda Second Layer and fighting these geniuses, it was only a matter of time before Han Lie reached Rank 6.
“Rank 6…!”
Han Lie recalled,
Cui Dazhi’s father was also Rank 6. To the young Han Lie, he was someone with immense power, capable of anything. Now, he was almost there himself.
Rank 5 was within reach.
He just wondered what status this Martial Warrior Rank held in the school, and if there were any historical records related to breakthroughs?
Han Lie thought idly.
Two days later,
He successfully broke through to Rank 5, as easy as drinking water. At the same time, some dirt appeared on his body during the breakthrough. He knew this was the effect of 'Cleansing Impurities,' one of the Seven Souls.
He also discovered that his breathing function had improved; compared to before, his breathing became even and prolonged.
Unexpectedly, this should be the function of 'Stinky Lungs.'
Presumably, this simultaneously strengthened two of the Seven Souls.
He became stronger again.
...............
“Rank 5?!”
Jijiang was cracking sunflower seeds and watching the livestream when she noticed Han Lie’s physical changes. Her eyes suddenly lit up. As a Human, especially a Martial God, how could she not see Han Lie’s physical changes?!
“Old Man… hello?”
She looked at Martial God Zhang next to her.
“…I’m here!”
“Han Lie is Rank 5!!!”
“I… I saw it!”
Martial God Zhang was clearly processing this information. A Rank 5 Martial Warrior at 18 years old, what kind of concept was that? Take himself, for example; at 18, he was still asking his mother if he could drink that bottle of milk!
A Rank 5 Martial Warrior!!!
A teacher in a high school only needed to be a Martial Warrior Rank 3. Someone like Han Lie could already be a principal in various high schools.
A Rank 5 Martial Warrior,
Not to mention ordinary universities, even among the third and fourth-year students in top universities, the ceiling they could reach was only Rank 5!
Didn't that mean this kid, shortly after starting his freshman year, had already completed four years of others' journeys and achieved others' ultimate academic goals?
“This kid… haha!”
Jijiang laughed happily, “Once this kid comes out of the Town Boundary Tower, I’ll directly arrange for him to participate in next year’s National Collegiate Martial Arts Competition, hahahahahahahahaha, he’s going to be incredibly awesome!!”
“!!!”
Old Zhang was dumbfounded.
“What do you mean?!”
“Han Lie is already like this, and you’re still sending him to the National Collegiate Martial Arts Competition? Isn’t that bullying?”
From his perspective, although Han Lie’s Martial Warrior strength had just met the passing standard for the National Martial Arts Competition, those top fourth-year students were generally at Rank 5 or Rank 6.
However,
Han Lie’s Martial Warrior Rank didn't reflect his true strength at all. Old Zhang had no doubt that if Han Lie participated, he would definitely make others doubt their lives.
And, and!!
“Han Lie has already proven himself throughout the entire Universe of Myriad Races. Isn’t it a bit overkill to make him participate in our Blue Star’s Martial Arts Competition?”
“Hahahahaha, what’s wrong with that!”
Jijiang laughed happily, “Heh, I just love to stomp on noobs. And you probably don’t know this, but Han Lie also loves ‘fishing’ (slang for stomping noobs), hehe!”
“.........”
Old Zhang was speechless.
“He’ll participate, he’ll participate!”
Jijiang counted on her fingers, “Han Lie is 18 and only a freshman now. He can participate for at least four more sessions. If I make him repeat two years, he can participate for six sessions. After six years, do you think it’s possible for him to become a Martial God?”
As she thought, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up, “Hahahahahahaha, a Martial God participating in the National Collegiate Martial Arts Competition, hahahahahahahahaha, good, just thinking about it is interesting!!”
“............”
Old Zhang rubbed his forehead,
He thought to himself, 'You find it interesting.'
Those students probably wouldn't think so.
“Rank 5…”
“Too terrifying…!”
Old Zhang was considering where Han Lie should go next if he could come out of the Town Boundary Tower. With this strength, he should be able to step out of Blue Star.
..................
“Rank 5!”
In the chat group, someone also noticed.
As for observation, some relied on eyesight, others on manpower. Li Ye and nearly 500,000 loyal fans of Han Lie were practically frame-by-frame watchers, their eyes wide like copper bells, afraid of missing a single detail of Han Lie.
Among them were also top experts, who also discovered that Han Lie had become a Rank 5 Martial Warrior and shared it in the group chat. Everyone instantly became excited.
Cui Dazhi: “R-Rank 5, that’s too damn awesome!!! Hahaha, my brother is truly… invincible. This is great, if my dad ever beats me unreasonably again, I’ll directly send my brother! Beat him!!”
Li Ye: “Too awesome, he’s already Rank 5. Think about how long it’s been since he became a Martial Warrior? I need to work hard these two days, otherwise, I’d be embarrassed to say I’m his fan!”
Li Miao: “It’s true that comparing people leads to death, and comparing goods leads to discarding them. I thought I was working hard enough, but I only broke through to Rank 2 two days ago. The gap is too huge!”
Xin Yao: “…Rank 5?”
Bai He Wan: “He’s Rank 5! So awesome!!!”
Coincidentally,
Many people discovered the fact that Han Lie had become Rank 5, including those from the Universe of Myriad Races, each filled with shock.
He’s still getting stronger, damn it!!
What surprised everyone even more was that two days after Han Lie became stronger, on Demon War’s side, ten geniuses finally appeared simultaneously on the glacier.
Presumably,
This was a recognition from the Town Boundary Tower.
It was understandable. For a genius like Demon War, who uses battles to fuel growth, after countless battles, he would naturally gain significant strength, creating a huge gap with those lower-tier geniuses. Now, a new mechanism had been triggered.
Everyone tried hard to be happy.
Although they couldn't catch up to Han Lie anymore, from a certain perspective, it at least showed that Demon War and Han Lie were on the same level.
But, similar voices hadn't even begun to sound.
On Han Lie’s side, one hundred geniuses appeared on the glacier at once.
“!!!!”
“What the hell is he trying to do?!”
The Myriad Races were defeated.
