Chương 82: War God’s : — Chapter 82 - Wang Xian: I Might Need to Offend You a Little

Lin Ao. Wang Xian recognized him. This guy was that cold, arrogant "young master" he'd run into outside Rong City before. His name fit perfectly. Extremely arrogant. And that Xu Rong was the "Little Rong" who'd gone with them to the Bone Blade Tomb. Neither of them recognized him as "Wang Feng" from before. He'd been disguised back then. High-realm martial artists could see through it easily, but these two didn't have sharp enough eyes or experience yet. He Yiming.

Wang Xian's memory was excellent, so he naturally recognized him too. That glasses-wearing kid from First High he'd met during the street challenge. As for Tan Tianze, he'd only seen him once, on his first day at the Heavenly Blade Club. Not much of an impression. But the way Tan Tianze looked at him was rather intense, as if they were quite familiar. Which left Wang Xian puzzled. He hadn't been familiar with him in his past life either. Why did he look like they'd known each other for ages?

"If you want to form a team..." Seeing them all standing there in a daze, Wang Xian waved his hand.

"Go ahead and team up for the challenge. It shouldn't be too hard for you."

"Wait, bro?" Lin Ao couldn't hold back.

"We just got to the inner zone and cleared half a path to the core, and you've already finished the core zone challenge?" What was the difference between this and finishing a two-hour exam in under an hour? The key point was, they were all top students! The few of them felt crushed. But it wasn't completely unacceptable. As for suspecting him of lying, that was unnecessary. He wasn't some slacker. He was a monster with 723 points across the three assessments.

The only thing they were curious about was how he'd done it so fast. Logically, with their talents, the gap between them and Wang Xian in the three assessments should have been evened out by now.

"By the way, what's your actual combat score?" Xu Rong suddenly asked, then politely added, "I'm around 900 points..." She flashed her wristband, showing a clear number. Proof she wasn't lying.

"Yeah!" Lin Ao hurriedly asked, "What's yours? I'm still a bit short of 1000." His face was full of pride. A thousand points in actual combat was the dividing line between elite and top students. Surpassing a thousand meant you could rank within the province. Generally, reaching a thousand meant the actual combat assessment awarded 300 points.

Add 500 from the three assessments, plus an intermediate or high-level talent score, and the total would basically exceed the admission standards of Dragon Country's five great universities. Admission to the Dragon Country Five Greats.

"I just passed 1000..." He Yiming pushed up his glasses, speaking lightly. Tan Tianze rubbed his chin.

"I just hit 900." They hadn't finished the core zone yet, and they already had over 900. Once they teamed up to challenge the Soul-Devouring Mother Spider in the core zone, they could split 300, even 400 points. Then they'd have an actual combat score around 1300. Definitely among the top 50, even top 10 monsters in Western Shu. Last year's Martial Exam top scorer had only been a bit over 1400. If they hadn't challenged it, the difference would be huge.

So to ensure nothing went wrong, teaming up was absolutely fine.

"As for me..." Wang Xian hesitated. Saying it felt like it would crush them. They were about to challenge the final main event beast. Crushing them now would genuinely affect their condition.

"My score is the total score..." Wang Xian smiled.

"After you finish and tally up your totals, I'll tell you then. Fairer that way, right?"

"Fine!" Lin Ao nodded, thinking this was reasonable.

"Since you finished so quickly, this year's main event beast shouldn't be too hard." Wang Xian smiled and said nothing. He couldn't leak exam content. Otherwise his wristband would issue a warning.

"Alright, let's team up and challenge it while we still have three or four hours." He Yiming waved at Wang Xian.

"Other teams will come later. With more people, we might have to queue." They discussed briefly and organized their team. Afterwards, elite students from First High and even Fourth High gradually entered the inner zone in small teams. Meanwhile, at the camp outside Crimson Cloud Mountain.

"Has the score updated?" Chief Zhao asked.

"No..." the adjutant said quietly. Chief Zhao was so anxious he was scratching his ears and cheeks.

"What are you so anxious about? Weren't you certain Wang Xian couldn't challenge the final 'main exam question'?" Bai Hongtian laughed.

"Have you lost all composure as a soldier?"

"It's mainly that this kid has been in the core zone for a long time..." Chief Zhao coughed.

"I'm worried about his safety. Not really about the score."

"..."

"Once he exits the core zone, we can sense his real-time score through the wristband." The adjutant nearby suddenly exclaimed, "Wang Xian came out! The score... updated?"

"Did he lose points?" Chief Zhao immediately asked.

"If he didn't pass and triggered the non-scoring male spiders, he'd receive a point deduction..." An incorrect answer.

"Hsss..." The adjutant sucked in a sharp breath, voice trembling.

"No, Chief, look at this score yourself..." The two looked at the screen. A glaring green score flashed: "2928!" Even Bai Hongtian lost his composure.

"This... How is this possible?"

"The highest score in history... the highest score in history..." Chief Zhao murmured. Find this and other great novels on the author's preferred platform. Support original creators! Our Western Shu had produced the highest actual combat score in history! Not just breaking last year's record. Breaking the highest actual combat score since Dragon Country's Martial Exam began! The previous record was 2300 points, set by Heavenly Capital examinee Yan Tingxiao 30 years ago.

Back then, a single dragon spear swept through all directions, killing countless beasts during the actual combat assessment, creating a record that lasted decades, unbroken. And now, it had been broken by an Old Martial examinee with no martial talent. Chief Zhao laughed. As the saying goes, fate plays tricks on people! Bai Hongtian was even more shocked by how this kid had single-handedly defeated the main event beast, the Soul-Devouring Mother Spider.

As the main exam question, each generation's military department designed it specifically for top students to challenge in teams. It was the score-differentiating item between them. It was nearly impossible for one person to challenge it. It was just a pity that the core zone already had an environment close to an F-rank relic, and satellites couldn't detect real-time footage. Wang Xian was waiting for Ye Miyue. To be precise, he'd found her himself.

When he found her, Ye Miyue was going back and forth with several Bone-Rotting Rats using the Yin-Yang Sword Technique. Wang Xian watched appreciatively from the side for quite a while, until the rats were dealt with, before slowly walking out.

"You're quite obedient." Ye Miyue was cleaning venom off her sword. Hearing the voice, she turned to look, then embarrassed, put her longsword away.

"Not using your talent at all?" Wang Xian walked over.

"What's up? Trying to imitate me?"

"No... no..." Ye Miyue shook her head, walked over, face slightly flushed.

"I can't use it."

"..." Wang Xian. A taboo-level talent and you're telling me you can't use it. Well, it made sense. She'd only awakened it for a day. Her understanding of this level of talent was essentially zero. Wang Xian carefully looked Ye Miyue up and down. The Eternal Silence Sword Body, as a taboo-level talent, began altering the talent holder's body from the moment of awakening. After a day had passed, Wang Xian could clearly sense her body becoming increasingly perfect. Her facial features hadn't changed much.

But the proportions of her limbs, the contours of her upper body, her waistline, the length of her legs had all undergone subtle adjustments. Making her form approach perfection, as if she were the embryonic form of a divine sword, cold and eternal. Sharpness fully revealed. Especially those two great peaks.

'So that's why she clearly doesn't eat well yet grew so large with such a good figure. A taboo talent was latent in her body. At the genetic level, it determined her body wouldn't be too poor.' Wang Xian thought to himself. Ordinary talents couldn't influence a martial artist. But talents at King level and above were different. They brought subtle, gradual changes. This was also the origin of the earliest Martial Spirit Patterns.

"Do you sense the Eternal Silence Sword Qi?" Wang Xian asked.

"I think so..." Ye Miyue thought for a moment.

"It just can't be mobilized... I don't know why..." Eternal Silence Sword Qi was a powerful energy spontaneously formed by the sword body. Generally stored within the sword body. It was also the tangible manifestation of the talent. As for the other effects of the sword body, there were far too many. Cultivation speed was extremely fast, and executing any sword technique received unparalleled amplification. She could cultivate the vast majority of sword path schools, and could even practice multiple concurrently.

On the path of the sword body, she would become a true, peerless genius. Just like earlier, Wang Xian had sensed that Ye Miyue's Yin-Yang Sword Technique was nearly at Peak Mastery. Yet when she'd tested before, it had only just reached Perfected Mastery. Cultivating basic sword techniques with a sword body, combined with her naturally good comprehension, her future speed wouldn't be much slower than his own in blade techniques. This was a taboo talent.

Not only did it possess a host of terrifying passives, it also had powerful active skills. Namely, the Eternal Silence Sword Qi. This fearsome sword qi would also, as the sword body's realm advanced, gradually form even stronger forces. Later on, she would comprehend Eternal Silence Sword Intent, reach the Sixth Realm, and cultivate the Eternal Silence Sword Field. Then she would truly be invincible.

"You can't mobilize it because you don't know what Eternal Silence Sword Qi feels like..." Wang Xian thought for a moment.

"I do have a method to help you quickly grasp it." Hearing this, Ye Miyue immediately looked at Wang Xian with a puzzled expression.

"Just tell me, do you want to grasp it or not?" Wang Xian asked.

"Mm!" Of course she did! Being able to grasp the Eternal Silence Sword Qi, she would become more formidable. And the gap would be smaller. It was just that Ye Miyue had sullenly looked up information online, which said this Eternal Silence Sword Qi's power was too strong, and without the guidance of a Seventh Realm grandmaster, one should not rashly attempt to use it.

"Alright." Wang Xian nodded.

"However, my method might require offending you a bit."

"?"

"Offend how?" Ye Miyue murmured.

"Hold out your hand." Wang Xian said.

"The hand you grip your sword with." Ye Miyue was silent for a second, then extended her snow-white palm. Wang Xian immediately grasped her wrist, then gently pulled. Ye Miyue was drawn to his side in a daze. The distance between them was no more than a few centimeters. The next second, Wang Xian's other hand slowly pressed toward Ye Miyue's lower abdomen. The instant before contact, BOOM! A terrifying aura erupted from Ye Miyue's body.

A wisp of pale blue radiance appeared on her body like a loach, passing through her snow-white skin and refracting a chilling light! Without hesitation, Wang Xian moved behind Ye Miyue, immediately lifted her wrist, and gently swung the sword. The pale blue radiance gathered on the sword, transforming into azure sword qi that burst forth from the blade. The substantial sword qi, only a few meters long, the moment it touched the ground, rapidly froze into indestructible ice.

A hundred meters in every direction, along with a dozen nearby Bone-Rotting Rats and the electromagnetic field on the surface, were instantly frozen dead. It was as if a glacier had formed, turning the area into a land of eternal silence. Not a trace of life, as if even space itself had frozen solid.

"This is the Eternal Silence Sword Qi." Wang Xian narrowed his eyes, looking at the dazed Ye Miyue, and without leaving a trace, rubbed her smooth, tender little hand. Sword bodies all possessed a self-protection mechanism. Couldn't use it? No problem. When the sword body sensed an intrusion or a life-threatening crisis, it would directly erupt. This was why, after awakening the Eternal Silence Sword Body, one dared not casually approach even slightly.

If one casually approached or made contact, the Eternal Silence Sword Qi would be directly triggered. Anyone whose strength was slightly weak would simply die. Wang Xian had experience fighting taboo-talent martial artists, so he naturally understood this well. And the lower abdomen area was a relatively critical danger zone for a martial artist.

If one dared to gently touch it, before the touch even landed, the sword body would automatically trigger the body's defense mechanism and actively activate the sword qi to repel the enemy. It was just that, having just awakened, Ye Miyue currently had absolutely no control over the sword qi. Coupled with her wrist being held by him, by borrowing her sword to swing, he could send this sword qi out. Otherwise, if it landed on himself, that might be somewhat troublesome.

"Did you feel it?" Wang Xian released her hand and asked.

"Ah? Ah!" Ye Miyue was stunned for a moment, hurriedly came back to her senses, and her snow-white neck, like a rising thermometer, flushed red. She quickly lowered her head, looking at her toes.

"You didn't sense the Eternal Silence Sword Qi?" Wang Xian shook his head.

"Your sword body just awakened. There isn't much sword qi stored. We can only try once. If we do it again and use it all up, your body will be quite weak."

"No... I sensed it." Ye Miyue said quietly. Wang Xian nodded in satisfaction. A teachable student.

"Then feel it out. You can try to control the sword qi within your body..." Wang Xian said.

"If you can condense it on the sword's edge without releasing it... In short, it's like enchanting your sword with Eternal Silence Sword Qi. This way, you can preserve the sword qi's effects for a longer time. Although the power won't be as exaggerated as just now, executing martial techniques will receive a massive increase in might. And you can use it for extended periods."

"If you feel it's dangerous, you can swing the sword qi out like just now, using it as a critical ultimate move."

"By my estimate, with this Eternal Silence Sword Qi of yours, even E-rank beasts can be easily frozen solid. Even D-rank beasts might be sealed for a few seconds. Even if it doesn't cause much damage, being sealed for a few seconds lets you escape easily." Thinking about it, Wang Xian still felt a bit of envy. This was just the initial awakening of the sword body, and it already had this kind of power. D-rank was equivalent to the Third Realm.

Right now, Ye Miyue was only at the First Realm, yet she possessed the means to control D-rank beasts. Once she got a bit stronger, she'd easily achieve what he had faced back then with the Crimson Blood Mountain Lord. And back then, he had used the Flowing Water Blade Technique at the Return to Simplicity realm, plus opened his divine meridians, and most importantly, borrowed the terrain of the cold pool to barely control it for a few seconds. A taboo talent didn't even need any martial techniques.

Its innate abilities could simply do it.

"Um..." Ye Miyue seemed to think of something, hesitating.

"What?"

"Um... I have a question..."

"What question?" Ye Miyue wanted to speak but held back. She thought for a long time, then without opening her mouth, used the sword in her hand to carve a few words on the ground:"Does this mean I can't give you massages anymore?" ➤ Next: My Martial Path Is Not For Scores!
