"Okay, I understand."
Fang Ping said with a bitter face, "I came down here to look for opportunities, but I didn't expect that after only three or four days, I would have to go back up." Fang Ping was a little depressed. Why was his time in the underground cave always so short? He heard them say that they usually needed to stay in the underground cave for a long time. Why was it different for him? If Lu Hao, who was next to him, heard what Fang Ping was saying, he would immediately point at Fang Ping and say...
You don't even look at how other people behave when they go down into the underground caves, and what's your situation? You go wherever there's a threat, right?
"Well, Senior Brother Wu, this time I seized a lot of life essence, saved an eighth-rank martial artist for the government, and also held off Giant Willow City."
"Shouldn't the government reward me with a few hundred million as a token of appreciation? They can't let a hero like me feel disheartened; otherwise, how many more people will follow suit?"
Fang Ping rubbed his hands together and said.
"Fang Ping, you know the government's difficulties. There will definitely be a reward, but it probably won't be that much. A few tens of millions would be the maximum."
Wu Chuan said awkwardly from the side.
"Fine, as long as it's there, I'm not picky," Fang Ping said with a smirk. It was pretty much what he was thinking; a few tens of millions would be the maximum, but it was still a windfall for him.
As they were talking, it got dark and another day passed.
Under the night sky, everyone quieted down, even the most restless Fang Ping and Qin Fengqing. Everyone was exhausted. After three days of fighting in the underground cave, everyone was injured. Only Jiu Pin and Lu Hao were in better condition. The others were more or less seriously injured.
Qin Fengqing closed her eyes to recover from her injuries, while Wang Jinyang pondered the future of Nanjiang Martial Arts University. The principal had sacrificed himself, the passage had been cleared, but where was the future of Nanjiang Martial Arts University? How should they proceed?
Fang Ping was using the life essence within his body to heal his injuries while waiting for the system to upgrade.
Li Hansong was also somewhat bewildered; this was his first time engaging in such a large-scale battle.
In the past, Jingwu had become too complacent. Since the end of the great war more than ten years ago and the establishment of the city in Jingwu, there had been no more major wars. They had become too complacent. Now, the underground world is changing rapidly, and the schools outside are also seeking change. Only Jingwu is stuck in its ways and still thinks it is the boss. Should we carry out reforms when we go back this time?
Lu Hao then opened his interface [Kill Point Allocation]
[Host: Lu Hao]
[Qi and Blood: 12457/15324 calories]
[Spirit: 2146/2319 Hertz]
Storage space: 1000 million cubic meters
【Dharma Space 1: 1000】
Kill Points: 142547 (Can be materialized)
In the first major battle, six seventh-rank soldiers were killed. Later, two more seventh-rank soldiers were killed to help Qin Fengqing and his group. Finally, in the encirclement battle, only one seventh-rank soldier was killed.
There were nine Rank 9 cultivators in total, providing Lu Hao with 14 kill points. Lu Hao could now directly refine his brain core to increase his mental strength by over 3000 points.
He had reached the high-level seventh rank, but Lu Hao didn't plan to do so. After all, he needed to save killing points to temper his golden body later. So he planned to use energy stones to exchange for some rare and precious materials from Zhang Tao, such as the Heavenly Golden Lotus, and then raise his mental power to 3000.
Afterwards, use the killing points to temper the skull, and finally use the killing points to forge the golden body. At that time, you can directly reach the second level of the golden body forging, reaching the middle stage of the eighth rank.
Silent all night.
While Lu Hao was resting, he suddenly sensed a surge of power from heaven and earth. Lu Hao instantly opened his eyes, drew his divine blade, and prepared for battle. However, the next moment, upon seeing the source of this power, he sheathed the God-Slaying Blade. This surge of power was clearly in Fang Ping's hands; it was obviously something he had fused together. Lu Hao breathed a sigh of relief, initially thinking it was an attack from the underground warriors.
Several grandmasters were also drawn to Fang Ping's commotion.
"What is this? The power of heaven and earth?" Wu Chuan asked, frowning.
To understand the true power of heaven and earth, one must know that it can only be created by fusing manifested and transformed spiritual power with vital energy and blood.
Fang Ping clearly doesn't fit any of these criteria, yet he still unleashed the power of heaven and earth. Lu Hao, standing to the side, shook his head in disbelief. Fang Ping is truly ignorant and fearless; doesn't he have any sense of concealment at all?
This must be from his system update; after all, he just grabbed a lot of life essence, so he definitely has some left over.
As a result, this kid conducted experiments right under their noses as soon as he leveled up, and when they, these grandmasters, were about to die, he suddenly unleashed the power of heaven and earth. In the eyes of those who knew the ropes, this was no small matter.
"I created this by compressing it using the Bridge of Heaven and Earth. I saw Qin Fengqing use it in the Great Battle before, so I wanted to learn how to use it."
Fang Ping used Qin Fengqing as a shield.
"Something's not right. Although we've watched Qin's matches, he certainly can't use the true power of heaven and earth."
"True power of heaven and earth requires the support of transformed spiritual power. You have no manifested spiritual power at all, so how can you form the power of heaven and earth?" Wu Chuan said with a frown.
Upon hearing this, Fang Ping's heart sank. The power of heaven and earth converted by the system was naturally the true power of heaven and earth.
He originally thought Qin Fengqing was the same way in the competition, which is why he used Qin Fengqing as a shield.
Unexpectedly, the true power of heaven and earth possesses a transformed spiritual force, while his spiritual force clearly hasn't undergone any transformation. How can this be explained...?
This time, I really dug my own grave. Who knew that the transformation of the power of heaven and earth had requirements?
"I don't know either. Maybe it's because my mental energy is special; it recovers exceptionally quickly. That's why I often use my mental energy to self-destruct and kill enemies."
And it is perhaps this special spiritual power that led to the birth of the power of heaven and earth.
"Special mental power?" Wu Chuan pondered.
Fang Ping released his mental energy, controlled a small section of it that had been severed, and then demonstrated his recovery speed to the Grandmaster, showing that he recovered in about five minutes.
The grandmasters present, except for Lu Hao, were all shocked by the incredibly fast recovery speed.
"Have you had your brain thoroughly examined?" Wu Chuan asked, looking at Fang Ping's head.
"Could it be that it has condensed a brain core?" Zhao Xingwu pondered.
"That's possible. In that case, his spiritual power might have reached the seventh rank, which would allow him to fuse with the true power of heaven and earth, as well as undergo bone marrow mutation. It could also be due to the premature appearance of his brain core."
"Alright, release the Bridge of Heaven and Earth and demonstrate the formation of the power of Heaven and Earth. Let's see the process."
Wu Chuan paused for a moment before speaking.
"Alright—let's call it a day, I don't have much mental energy left."
Fang Ping initially wanted to agree immediately, but upon thinking of his "Bridge to Heaven and Earth," he instantly refused.
Everyone else's bridge to heaven and earth is a beautiful circular structure, but his is just... If this gets out, his reputation will be ruined for life.
Behind them, Old Li, who had gathered there at some point, yawned and said, "Give it a try, let everyone see."
"I'm not trying anymore." Fang Ping's face darkened. What was this old guy's "Bridge of Heaven and Earth" technique? Didn't he know? He was being told to try? Even if he jumped off here today, even if he was dissected, he wouldn't die.
