Chapter 37: What is Genius?
Ji Zhengyue and they all thought that Qi An's strength rose because of a breakthrough in skills, so he broke through the prefecture-level life and death alley, and they also saw Qi An's talent in their eyes, and it was indeed far more than the three of them, so after learning that Qi An was on the prefecture-level list, although they were also surprised, they were also able to accept it, not like other students, they didn't believe it when they heard what others said, they had to go to the entrance of the alley of life and death in person and see the ranking with their own eyes to determine the authenticity of the rumors.
It's just that the heated discussion brought by Qi'an has just risen, and another incident has quickly diverted the public's attention, and the level of attention it has received is far greater than that of Qi'an, and even the high-level of the backer branch has been alarmed.
This is Gongsun Riyue, who is known as the first genius of the backer branch and has long occupied the top of the rankings, and finally successfully broke through the heaven-level life and death alley, with a score of two hundred and eighty-four breaths.
It is said that in the two hundred years since the establishment of the Backing Mountain Branch, no student has ever been able to break through the heaven-level life and death alley, even if the more than 100 branches of the entire Qianqing Academy are all counted, there are less than 100 people who can pass the trial of the heaven-level life and death alley in the past two hundred years, and on average, there is not even one person in a branch, and nearly half of these people appear in the Qianqing Academy in the Zhongzhou Imperial City, where the feet of the Son of Heaven are gathered, and the cultivation environment of the general academy is not known how many times better than the branch, in order to achieve this kind of results。
Gongsun Riyue gave the dean of the backer branch face, and the dean and vice president of the backer branch, who are usually rare, stood in front of people without exception, gathered all the students of the college, and greatly praised Gongsun Riyue in front of everyone, setting it up as an example of the backer branch.
This is also the first time that Qi An has seen the legendary figure of Gongsun Riyue since he was admitted to the hospital for two years, he is not very old, his eyebrows are clear, he looks like a weak scholar, he has very few words, and the expression on his face has always been very flat.
When the dean asked him to come to the stage to say a few words and express his feelings, Gongsun Riyue thought about it, only said "It's time to break through", and then stepped down and left.
On the second day, the news came that Gongsun Riyue had successfully broken through and been promoted to a Condensing Qi Realm monk, and would soon leave the Backing Mountain Branch and go to the Imperial City of Zhongzhou.
According to the usual practice, ordinary martial arts sects break through and report to the state government, and the state government arranges corresponding positions and takes office on their own; if a martial artist on the prefecture-level list is promoted to a monk, it will be reported to the central government, and the central government will arrange the corresponding positions; if there is a peak martial artist on the heaven-level list, he will go directly to the Qianqing Academy in the imperial city of Zhongzhou to report to the general academy after the breakthrough, and then enter the elite training camp at a higher level to continue his studies.
It is said that the students targeted by the elite training camp of the Qianqing Academy are all Qi Condensation Realm cultivators, and the only condition for entry is to break through the Heaven Level Life and Death Alley when they are in the Quenching Body Realm. From this point of view, in the eyes of the high-level leaders of the Qianqing Academy, only martial artists who can break through the heaven-level life and death alley can be regarded as geniuses, and the rest, including the martial arts sects who have broken through the earth-level life and death alley, are all mediocre people.
Gongsun Riyue's limelight not only completely overshadowed Qi An, but it is also said that it also stimulated Li Hongluo and Murong Qing to go to the heaven-level life and death alley, but they all failed without exception, and they were still far behind.
In fact, Li Hongluo and Murong Qing have long chosen to break through, with their profound accumulation, the success rate is quite high, at least more than eighty percent, but I am afraid that it is also in order to break through the heaven-level life and death alley and get the opportunity to go to the general academy for further study, so they have stayed in the realm of the peak martial arts, because it will be a very rare opportunity to be further cultivated by the Qianqing Academy, which is much more promising and meaningful than becoming a monk in a hurry and then becoming a low-level official in the local area.
The success of Gongsun Riyue not only stimulated Li Hongluo and Murong Qing, but even the students of the entire backing branch were deeply affected by it, and for a while, there was a long queue at the entrance of the Lane of Life and Death, all of them were enthusiastic and wanted to fight for a good result, and the ranking even changed several times, and finally stabilized after a few days. If it weren't for the fact that Qi An had already used up the number of times he had broken through this month, he would have wanted to test whether his ability could break through the heaven-level alley of life and death.
After stabilization, the Alley of Life and Death leaderboard is shown as follows:
Heaven-level list, those who have passed the trial, none.
Prefecture-level list, first place, Bu Feng, passed the results of ninety-three breaths
Prefecture-level list, second place, Qi'an, passed the score of ninety-nine breaths
Prefecture-level list, third place, Li carrot, passed the score of 181 breaths
Prefecture-level list, fourth place, Murong Qing, passed the score of one hundred and ninety-six breaths
Prefecture-level list, fifth place, none
Person-level list, first place, Wang Sheng, passed the score of 36 breaths
The people-level list, the second place, Wu Laoshi, passed the score of fifty-eight breaths
Person-level list, third place, Sun Sanniang, passed the score of 59 breaths
On the human level, fourth place, Huang Jue, passed the score of 61 breaths
Person-level list, fifth place, Chai Qiao, passed the score of sixty-two breaths
The heaven-level list was still empty, because after Gongsun Riyue successfully broke through, he was promoted to monk the next day, and then left the backing branch after a few days.
Basically, in all the branches except for the main academy, the heaven-level list column is empty, but any peak martial arts sect that can break through the heaven-level life and death alley can be said to be nine out of ten stable, and the reason why the heaven-level list position is retained on the list is because there are many geniuses in the imperial city, and the general academy may have this need, and the branch is also in line with the general academy, and the rules are exactly the same, on the other hand, it is also to stimulate other students, set a lofty goal for everyone, and expect someone to be able to complete it.
The prefecture-level list has less Gongsun Riyue and more Qi'an, and the results of the rest of the people have not changed, and Bu Feng has topped the list because of the departure of Gongsun Riyue, but in fact, among the four people on the prefecture-level list, his strength is the worst, just because his speed is extremely fast and has a great advantage in breaking through, so he has the best results, and Li Hongluo and Murong Qing used the opportunity to break through this month in the heaven-level Life and Death Alley, so the results of the prefecture-level list have not changed.
The change in the human-level list is the largest, Wang Sheng became the top of the human-level list after Qi 'an was promoted to the place list, and his performance has also improved slightly, from forty-five breaths to thirty-six breaths, and it is estimated that he can challenge the prefecture-level life and death alley if he goes one step further; what is surprising is that Wu Laoshi, who was once squeezed out of the human-level list, has not only come back, but also achieved a good result in second place; the third place Sun Sanniang, a heroine in the female middle school who is difficult with a quick knife, is quite strong; the fourth place is Huang Jue, who was once defeated in the hands of Wu Laoshi, and his results have not changed, and he is still sixty-one breaths; the fifth place Chai Qiao, a super older student who entered the school very late, was in the ring because of the extremely fast Bu Feng, was defeated before he had time to show his strength, and the results remained the same as before.
Interestingly, except for Wang Sheng, who ranked first, the results of the remaining four people are very close, and they are almost a breath gap between each other, which proves that the strength of these people is actually almost the same, and it is difficult to distinguish between them.
There is another phenomenon worth pondering, at present, the five people on the human-level list are all over thirty years old, but the four people on the prefecture-level list who are stronger than them are all under thirty, the oldest Bu Feng is only twenty-six years old, and the youngest Qi An is only fifteen years old. This proves that in terms of talent, the four people on the prefecture-level list are definitely more than one step ahead of the five people on the human-level list.
Spend less time and achieve more, that's genius.
However, compared with Gongsun Riyue, the three masters of the land list other than Qi'an are not geniuses, and in front of them, Gongsun Riyue is the real genius.
Why do you want to get rid of Qi An, because Qi An is young, he is only fifteen years old, and compared to Gongsun Riyue, who has already reached the age of twenty, he still has five years to grow and catch up. Just imagine Qi An, who just entered the backing branch two years ago, couldn't even break through the human-level Life and Death Alley, but at this time, even the Prefecture-level Life and Death Alley felt extremely easy.
Of course, Qi An actually took advantage of the breakthrough realm, and the basic attributes of his body were greatly improved, which was equivalent to breaking into the alley of life and death set up for the martial sect as a monk, which in itself can be said to be a kind of cheating, fortunately it was not discovered by others, otherwise something would have happened.
Therefore, the benefit of the body refining system is one more thing, that is, you can hide your realm cultivation. Although the Qi Refining Cultivator also had no obvious characteristics, there was a detection instrument at the entrance of the Alley of Life and Death, which could distinguish between a martial artist and a monk, and once the monk stepped into it, an alarm would sound. The principle of this instrument is to detect whether a true qi vortex has formed in a person's body through a special aura distribution, and it is impossible for a true qi vortex to appear in the body of a body refining cultivator, and the cultivation principle is completely different, so Qi An can enter the alley of life and death without the detection of the instrument.
Therefore, Qi An's ranking was obtained by cheating, but he himself didn't realize that this had violated the rules set by the Qianqing Academy, and he just sighed that he was too much worse than Gongsun Riyue. Gongsun Riyue broke through the heaven-level Life and Death Alley with the cultivation of the peak martial arts, while Qi An broke through the Heaven-level Life and Death Alley with the ability of a monk, and his results in the ground list were much worse than Gongsun Riyue.
Including Li Hongluo and Murong Qing, they are the same, although they seem to be inferior to Qi An, but Qi An's realm is equivalent to that of a monk, but others are the peak martial arts sects that are like fakes, just like adults going to compete with children, even if they win, it doesn't mean anything. If Murong Qing and they also broke through to the Qi Condensation Realm, their results would definitely be better than Qi An's, and even breaking through the heaven-level life and death alley would be easy, you must know that the breakthrough of a big realm is very terrifying for the improvement of strength, think about Qi An's failure to break through the ground-level life and death alley, but after the breakthrough, he will be like a bamboo, and easily achieve a good result of ninety-nine breaths, this is still in order to deliberately hone himself, he adopted the most conservative style of play, did not fully play the advantages of the iron body, if he goes all out, he can easily exceed the seventy-nine breaths set by Gongsun Riyue, and even break through the heaven-level life and death alley It is very possible。
Qi An himself also noticed that the reason why there was a gap between him and other masters in the same realm was because his skill realm was too low, which affected the play of combat power.
