82: Chapter 82 Attention from the Martial Arts High-Rankings

Inside a void space within a Secret Realm.

Several humanoid phantoms formed by Spiritual Sense were looking at each other with astonishment.

Within this space, they could use their Spiritual Sense to observe every corner of the Secret Realm, and they could also see the scores, rankings, and the number of people in the Secret Realm in real-time.

After a day of competition, the total number of people remaining in the Secret Realm had dropped to 621.

But just a moment ago, a large number of eliminated personnel suddenly surged out from the Luanshi Slope area.

This abnormal situation instantly attracted their attention.

The Spiritual Sense of these individuals quickly extended toward the Luanshi Slope area.

They discovered that it was actually a stranger who had used a custom arena to challenge nearly forty-seven people single-handedly.

An elderly man with a rather round face spoke first, his eyes full of confusion: "Which Martial Arts University is this student from? Why does he look so unfamiliar?"

"He has studied such a wide range of Martial Skills, and all of them have been practiced to the Realm of Perfection. Although his cultivation Realm is still a bit weak, such a martial arts Prodigy shouldn't be unknown, right?"

"Old Man Lei, can you tell where the lightning-attribute Martial Skills this kid is using originated from?"

The round-faced elderly man cast his gaze toward an old man with hair standing on end and a furious expression.

The old man called Old Man Lei slowly shook his head, his voice deep: "I have never seen these techniques before. The lightning-attribute Martial Skills he condenses are likely self-created Martial Skills that haven't been registered yet."

"As for the other Martial Skills, they do feel somewhat familiar; it seems he has performed a Fusion of various different Martial Skills."

"Self-created Martial Skills? And he can even perform a Fusion of other Martial Skills himself?" The round-faced elder clicked his tongue in wonder.

"I am becoming increasingly curious about which school is hiding such a deep Prodigy. It seems that in this year's Project Starfall, besides Zhong Haoran and Xiang Tian, there is another dark horse."

Just as everyone was discussing, the phantom that had been standing quietly with eyes closed on the side slowly opened its eyes.

Unlike the others around who all appeared to be old men, this person looked extremely young, with delicate facial features, and his appearance could even be described as handsome.

"I have checked clearly... It is a high school senior martial arts student." The young man spoke unhurriedly.

"A high school senior?!" Everyone was shocked.

"Saint Lu, I am not questioning your ability, but how can a high school senior student come to this Secret Realm?" The round-faced elder asked with slight hesitation.

"He used a quota from the Taichu Martial Mansion to enter," the young man replied.

Upon hearing this, someone immediately realized: "I remember now. Not long ago, Old Man Han, in his capacity as the Dean of Tianshu Academy, recommended a high school senior student to participate in Project Starfall."

"But he just joined; who sent him over?"

"There are no restrictions in the rules, right? If they know the method, anyone can do it," Old Man Lei snorted coldly.

Upon hearing this, the person was speechless and fell into silence.

As long as it is during the time the Secret Realm is open, and one possesses the qualifications to enter the Secret Realm, there is no restriction on which batch of Project Starfall members they belong to.

It's just that no one has ever done it like this before.

The round-faced elder looked around and cursed: "I was wondering why Old Man Han was nowhere to be seen today; so that's how it is."

"That old guy's Tianshu God Calculation technique is about to reach the Realm of Divine Ability; he probably anticipated something like this long ago."

After a brief pause, he continued to ask: "Given the current situation, what should we do? Should we kick this kid out?"

"Everyone can only enter the Spirit Gathering Secret Realm once in their lifetime. This is an ironclad rule set by that supreme expert himself; none of us have the ability to change it."

Someone immediately retorted: "This person is only a high school senior, yet he can possess such combat power; he can undoubtedly be called a Prodigy of the Human Race."

"Moreover, he has already collected two bone fragments. Perhaps he might have a chance to obtain the third one and open the Land of Inheritance of that supreme expert. If we kick him out, wouldn't we be wasting a great Opportunity for a Prodigy of the Human Race?"

The round-faced elder was speechless for a moment and said aggrievedly: "I was just mentioning it casually, why are you pinning such a big accusation on me?"

"Besides, how could the Legacy of that supreme expert be so easy to obtain? The reason we set the condition of collecting three bone fragments and restricted the qualifications to enter the Land of Inheritance was because, previously, when the conditions for the Land of Inheritance were loosened, a large group of people went in for trials. As a result, after those people came out, many of them had their Dao Heart shattered, and they were completely devastated; good seedlings were ruined just like that."

"Letting him leave now might actually be protecting him." As the elder spoke, his face became ugly, recalling bad memories. Among those whose Dao Heart was shattered, one of them was his direct Disciple.

"Alright, stop arguing." The young man called Saint Lu spoke again, and the scene immediately quieted down.

"Since he has come here, it is this child's destiny; we should not forcefully interfere."

"As for whether he can actually obtain the third bone fragment and subsequently open the Land of Inheritance, everything depends on his own Opportunity and Luck."

Hearing this, everyone nodded and stopped discussing.

The conditions for obtaining the Legacy key are extremely harsh; they were arranged based on their reference to the supreme expert's classics and by guessing his preferences.

A total of three achievements need to be reached: [Unparalleled Opportunity: Pick up bone fragments randomly scattered in the Secret Realm] [Unparalleled Valor: Surpass the record of single-person kills from previous batches] [Unparalleled Combat Power: Kill a Tier 3 Lord-level exotic beast in the Spirit Gathering Secret Realm]

These three conditions are extremely harsh. If one person could achieve them all at the same time, perhaps they could truly succeed in obtaining the Legacy of that supreme expert.

"However... to have such strength just after joining Project Starfall, without even receiving the plan's cultivation, and to kill his way directly to the number one spot of the previous batch," someone sighed again. "With this kind of strength, no one in this generation can compete with him. His batch of Project Starfall will probably turn into a Lone Star Plan."

"That might not be the case," the round-faced elder chuckled. "I heard that Saint Lu also recommended a high school senior martial arts student two days ago. Only eighteen years old, and already in the Late Stage of the Tiangang Realm."

"Eighteen years old? Late Stage of the Tiangang Realm?!" Someone gasped.

Saint Lu felt the gazes cast from around him and shook his head gently: "Now is not the time to discuss these things. Everyone, let's focus on monitoring the situation inside the Secret Realm."

In the Martial Arts University rankings of the Great Xia Kingdom, the Taichu Martial Mansion is transcendent and independent, not included in the regular rankings.

If one sets aside the Taichu Martial Mansion, the Jitian University managed by Saint Lu is undoubtedly the number one Grade A institution.

Mentioning that student, he was full of helplessness and sighed in his heart.

That student was discovered by him through a coincidence of Opportunity.

It is said that the student was extremely ordinary before, with mediocre Aptitude, and had no highlights on the path of Cultivation.

Just a month ago, the person seemed to have been reborn, soaring from the bottom of the school at the fourth stage of the Blood Accumulation Realm to the seventh stage of the Tiangang Realm.

The speed of Cultivation was the fastest he had ever seen in his life.

It's just that the student's temperament is a bit strange. Although he intended to take him directly by his side to teach him, the other party insisted on waiting until after participating in the Martial Arts Exam.

When pressed, he just said some strange things about having to complete a mission.

Saint Lu could not sway him, so he had to give up, planning to send someone to bring him into Jitian University after the Martial Arts Exam in a month.

"If these two have a chance to meet, it would be interesting..." Thinking of this, Saint Lu could not help but quietly feel a hint of anticipation in his heart.
