159: Chen Xing's guess, acting alone (three updates today)
“It’s a group chat channel. Chen Xing, Wei Jianguo, and the others probably invited me.”
Student Li Ziyu clicked in, and sure enough, there were already three names in the group.
The Most Handsome in the World: “Brothers, I have shocking news! Guess what I found!!”
No need to guess, just by looking at the name, one could tell it was the blonde youth, Chen Xing. This name perfectly matched his flamboyant and unrestrained personality.
Protect the Homeland: “What did you find?”
This one also needed no guessing; it was undoubtedly Wei Jianguo.
Ever-Changing Sakura: “↑ Same question.”
This was a female name, so it was Mei Wan'er.
Both were piqued by Chen Xing’s words and asked curiously in the group.
Li Ziyu was also a little curious, wanting to see what secret Chen Xing had discovered.
The Most Handsome in the World (Chen Xing): “After my investigation, I can be 100% sure that our current location is the Demon City of two hundred years ago!”
Protect the Homeland (Wei Jianguo): “…”
Ever-Changing Sakura (Mei Wan'er): “I already found that out. This isn’t what you mean by shocking news, is it? Your ‘shocking’ is too cheap.”
The Most Handsome in the World (Chen Xing): “Of course not. Everyone knows that this Martial Saint Secret Realm is divided into three stages of missions. Only by completing all three stages can one possibly obtain the Martial Saint Inheritance that follows!
However, for so many years that the Martial Saint Secret Realm has existed, let alone the third stage, no one has even completed the second stage mission.
Everyone has always been curious about what the Martial Saint Inheritance truly is.
I’ve guessed it now!”
This time, no one in the group sent any more messages, clearly awestruck by Chen Xing’s words.
Li Ziyu also raised an eyebrow in surprise. Chen Xing actually guessed what the final reward of the Martial Saint Secret Realm was?
Is it real or fake?
Chen Xing sent a smug emoji. Seeing no one respond in the group, he couldn’t help but smile smugly.
It seemed that in this small team, he was the smartest one.
However, he didn’t keep them in suspense for long and spoke directly.
The Most Handsome in the World (Chen Xing): “You fools! Look at today’s date displayed on your wristbands again!
Isn’t that when the Martial Arts University just started classes!
What happens when the Martial Arts University just starts classes? It must be the entrance test!
I remember the textbook even stated that when Xingyao Wusheng, the Supreme Path Martial Saint, and the Transcendent Martial Saint first enrolled, they directly received an S-rank evaluation in their entrance test!
Combining all of this, haven’t you figured it out yet?!”
When martial artists first emerged, various testing equipment was not yet developed.
It was different from the qi and blood tests and combat power tests of Daxia two hundred years later.
Two hundred years ago, to test a martial artist’s talent, they would directly throw the martial artist participating in the test in front of a fierce beast.
If one could survive in front of a fierce beast of the same level, it was D-rank martial artist talent.
If one could defeat a fierce beast of the same level, it was C-rank martial artist talent.
If one could defeat a fierce beast half a level higher than oneself, it was B-rank talent.
Defeating a fierce beast one level higher than oneself was A-rank talent.
A-rank talent was considered the highest talent recognized throughout Daxia at that time.
And in that very year.
Xingyao Wusheng, the Supreme Path Martial Saint, and the Transcendent Martial Saint emerged, directly defeating fierce beasts two levels higher than themselves in the martial artist talent test!
The whole world was shocked!
They were rated as S-rank talent!
Chen Xing looked at his analysis posted in the group, feeling immensely proud.
He felt he had made it clear enough.
Protect the Homeland (Wei Jianguo): “...When it’s time to charge to the front lines, give me a shout... Don’t make me think.”
Ever-Changing Sakura (Mei Wan'er): “Are we supposed to go watch the entrance tests of the three Martial Saints and praise them with ‘666’?”
The group was silent for a long time, but Mei Wan'er couldn’t help but ask tentatively.
The Most Handsome in the World (Chen Xing): “…”
The Most Handsome in the World (Chen Xing): “You pig teammates! But Mei Wan'er, what you said is both right and wrong. You’re very close to the truth.
Forget it, I’ll just tell you my guess directly.
I think the Martial Saint Secret Realm occurring at this point in time definitely aims for us to defeat Xingyao Wusheng in the entrance test and gain his recognition!
Then he will hand over the Martial Saint Inheritance of this Martial Saint Secret Realm to us!
Tsk tsk, I, Chen Xing, am truly a genius!”
Protect the Homeland (Wei Jianguo): “Makes sense, I agree with this point of view.”
Ever-Changing Sakura (Mei Wan'er): “Hmm, I also think it makes sense.”
…
Li Ziyu looked at the messages in the group and couldn't help but nod.
It makes sense…
Like hell it does!
Defeat Xingyao Wusheng in the entrance test, and then Xingyao Wusheng will give him the Martial Saint Inheritance?
Li Ziyu was a bit speechless.
If you were defeated by an unknown person, would you secretly try to surpass them, or unconditionally share your secrets with them?
He thought he was an Overlord, and once his Overlord’s aura was unleashed, the other party would submit.
Li Ziyu pouted.
He thought it was some shocking discovery, but what he said had no basis whatsoever.
The key was that Wei Jianguo and Mei Wan'er agreed without thinking.
Li Ziyu now somewhat doubted their intelligence.
The Most Handsome in the World (Chen Xing): “Alright, let’s not discuss what the final mission is for now. I just saw the prompt on the communication wristband; the first stage of the mission has appeared. Let’s meet up first and complete the first stage mission.
Otherwise, everything after will be for nothing.
Student Li Ziyu, where are you now? We’ll come find you to meet up.”
Protect the Homeland (Wei Jianguo): “+1.”
Ever-Changing Sakura (Mei Wan'er): “+1.”
The two agreed and echoed, already convinced by Chen Xing’s precise analysis.
They felt that while Chen Xing might not be the strongest in terms of power, he was definitely the one with the best brain.
In terms of strategy, one still had to listen to the one with the good brain.
Li Ziyu ignored Chen Xing’s words and instead noticed the information Wei Jianguo mentioned. His eyes moved, and he looked at the virtual screen on his communication wristband.
Sure enough, the screen displayed a holographic map of Demon City.
It was divided into more than a dozen sections.
There were different color annotations.
These block colors ranged from dark to light, primarily black, red, blue, and green.
The number of black blocks was the fewest, and green was the most.
Li Ziyu clicked on a block and found that each block represented a mission.
And the color on the block represented the danger level of the mission.
Black had the highest danger level.
Green had the lowest danger level.
In the upper right corner of this map, his name was also recorded, and there was a progress bar.
Li Ziyu: Current Stage Mission Completion: 0.
Highest Completion Rank: 5%.
“There’s even a mission completion ranking. It seems that by completing missions in each area, I can unlock the progress bar. When the progress bar reaches 100%, I will enter the second stage of the mission.”
“Then, if I’m not mistaken, completing higher-level missions should grant more progress.”
Li Ziyu’s gaze moved downwards.
He tried to attempt a black block, and information immediately popped up:
[Mission Level: S]
[Danger Level: Extremely Dangerous!]
[Mission Details: Unlocked, please complete prerequisite missions]
