169: The whole room was in an uproar. Was Li Ziyu losing his mind?

“It’s actually an entrance test for the first Martial Arts University in Daxia?

And it requires making Xingyao Wusheng Martial Saint feel ashamed of his own talent?

And the strength will be suppressed to a Level 1 Intermediate Martial Practitioner? This task is quite interesting…

” Li Ziyu looked at the task description, a flicker of thought in his eyes.

Through this series of tasks he had completed, he found that each task either tested the participant’s strength or their character and moral integrity.

Every task had a specific purpose.

Just like this S-rank task.

In the entrance test, to make Xingyao Wusheng Martial Saint feel ashamed of his talent, the purpose is very clear: Xingyao Wusheng Martial Saint wants to find someone whose talent surpasses his own to pass on his legacy.

“I wonder what secret this Martial Saint Secret Realm holds, that it insists on finding someone with strong talent to inherit it.

But to win people over with talent, hehe, I like it.”

Li Ziyu looked at the Martial Saint System panel in his mind, and his remaining blood energy.

Then he clicked to accept the task.

...

“All-member announcement: Contestant Li Ziyu has accepted an S-rank task. Now, everyone in the Martial Saint Secret Realm will have their cultivation suppressed to a Level 1 Intermediate Martial Practitioner.”

“All-member announcement: Contestant Li Ziyu has accepted an S-rank task. Now, everyone in the Martial Saint Secret Realm will have their cultivation suppressed to a Level 1 Intermediate Martial Practitioner.”

The moment Li Ziyu accepted the S-rank task, everyone in the entire Martial Saint Secret Realm heard the broadcast from the sky.

Each of them widened their eyes, looking utterly bewildered.

“What’s going on?? Li Ziyu accepted an S-rank task?? His task progress has reached the point where he can accept an S-rank task??”

“Damn it, why does an S-rank task suppress our cultivation? If our cultivation is suppressed to Level 1 Intermediate, how are we supposed to complete tasks?”

“Holy moly! Look at the task progress leaderboard, Li Ziyu has already reached sixty percent completion!! That means, as long as Li Ziyu completes one more S-rank task, he can enter the second stage!”

“An S-rank task: In the Martial Arts University entrance test, gain the recognition of Xingyao Wusheng Martial Saint with talent and make Xingyao Wusheng Martial Saint feel inferior?? Hiss! What kind of heaven-defying task is this?”

Throughout various parts of the Secret Realm, Wang Xinyang, President Bai Ximo, Lei Zhan, Yin Miaomiao, as well as the elite prodigies from various battle groups and major families, were all shocked by the task information.

Looking in Li Ziyu’s direction, a hint of pity appeared on their faces.

Including Li Yang, who even felt a bit of schadenfreude:

“Tsk, Li Ziyu miscalculated. Surpassing Xingyao Wusheng Martial Saint in talent at the same cultivation level and making Xingyao Wusheng Martial Saint feel inferior—this task is simply impossible to complete.

I really don’t know if Li Ziyu has lost his mind to dare accept such a task.”

“No wonder the Martial Saint Secret Realm has existed for so many years, and no one has successfully obtained its legacy. So the problem lies in this S-rank task!

What an astonishing and peerless figure Xingyao Wusheng Martial Saint was, his martial arts talent was so high that even the Supreme Path Martial Saint and Transcendent Martial Saint, these two Human Gods, felt inferior.

To want to surpass Xingyao Wusheng Martial Saint in talent, this is simply wishful thinking!”

Li Yang sneered.

“Li Ziyu is too arrogant to dare accept such a task.

Does he think his martial arts talent is stronger than Xingyao Wusheng Martial Saint’s?

If that were truly the case, then no Martial Saint would have been born during the two hundred years since Xingyao Wusheng Martial Saint’s demise.”

Ji Wudi also shook his head, looking at the task description on his wristband with some exasperation.

“Anyway, our cultivation has already been suppressed, so we can’t do other tasks. Let’s follow Li Ziyu and see. I want to see what gave Li Ziyu such great confidence!”

...

“Old Wei, look, damn it, Li Ziyu can already accept S-rank tasks!”

“It seems Li Ziyu indeed has the strength not to team up with us, he can already accept S-rank tasks.

However, Li Ziyu is a bit overconfident; he dares to accept such a task.”

“Let’s go, follow him to watch.”

Chen Xing, Wei Jianguo, and Mei Wan’er also looked at the task description with astonishment.

After speaking, the three of them rushed towards the S-rank task location.

...

In Modu, a quiet villa area near the city center.

Rows of European-style detached villas were scattered amidst lush trees, birdsong, and fragrant flowers.

This was the best and most expensive residential area in all of Modu.

Its price was several times higher than Modu’s most famous Tangchen Yipin.

The cheapest villa here cost over a billion yuan!

Those who could live here were either top celebrities or extremely wealthy and influential.

It could be said that they were all big shots who could make Modu tremble with a stomp of their foot!

However, today, these big shots who could make Modu tremble were standing outside the villa area like elementary school students, peering inside curiously.

Nothing else.

Because the villa area where they usually lived had been forcibly requisitioned and acquired by the government.

It was said that it would be converted into some important university, and today was the day of this university’s entrance test.

“Old Wang, what’s going on? Why was our villa acquired without a word? What are they doing inside?”

“Hiss, if I’m not mistaken, the person patrolling outside the cordon seems to be Director Director Hu Zhiming, right??”

“Hiss, it really is. If I remember correctly, Director Hu Zhiming seems to be the director of the Modu Public Security Bureau, right? What exactly is going on today? Even the director of the Modu Public Security Bureau is patrolling outside?”

A group of listed company CEOs and political bigwigs were surprised after seeing the identity of the person patrolling outside the cordon.

The director of the Modu Public Security Bureau, such a position, was considered a big shot among their circles.

A few who knew Director Hu Zhiming wanted to go up and chat with him, but they were stopped by Director Hu Zhiming’s gaze from a distance and could only give up sheepishly.

Just then, in the distance, dozens of armed helicopters appeared roaring in the sky, flying over everyone’s heads.

“The military’s latest armed helicopters. If I’m not mistaken, the students participating in this test are sitting inside.”

“Is the higher-up so focused on this test?”

Not to mention these business tycoons, even Director Hu Zhiming was shocked by the scale of it.

He, the dignified director of the Modu Public Security Bureau, could only patrol outside.

And picking up students required armed helicopters; the level of importance was simply outrageous.

As everyone was curious, in the sealed-off road in the distance, rows of bulletproof cars, escorted by dozens of armored cavalry, slowly approached.

“Jing A000?!”

“This license plate is, hiss!”

Those who knew the meaning of this license plate instantly widened their eyes and gasped.

“What a major event is happening today, what a major event!”

“Damn it! I contacted all my connections, and they all said they didn’t know.”

Everyone watched the motorcade disappear at the end of the road, each scratching their heads in curiosity.

Suddenly, someone thought of something and said hesitantly, “Do you think what’s happening today might be related to Ancient Martial Practitioners?”

The others paused, their eyes glinting with thought.

To have achieved their current success, few present were fools, so they immediately felt it was truly possible.

Several people murmured to themselves:

“Are there some secrets about Ancient Martial Practitioners that we don’t know? Is the country so focused on Ancient Martial Practitioners?”

“It seems we need to pay more attention to Martial Practitioners from now on.”

While everyone was discussing, dozens more military armed helicopters flew into the villa area.

This further solidified their earlier thoughts.

“Hello, is this Xuhui District Number 36?”

Just as everyone was pondering, a magnetic voice interrupted their thoughts.
