C7 Nine Star Talent!

In a remote corner of the Hall of Martial Hall's outer court, a young man that had fallen down was licking his wounds.

"Ha! Hahaha! I, Xiang Shaoyun, the young master of a tier seven sect, degraded to a simple target for bullies: people who don't even have the strength to tussle a chicken. A tiger was bullied by a bunch of dogs. Truly ridiculous!" Morose thoughts clouded the boy's mind.

Who else could this youth be other than Xiang Shaoyun!​

Just now, in the cafeteria, he was helpless in the face of Wu Mingliang's henchmen. Due to his lacking strength, they were able to beat him to the ground.

In a desperate attempt to save his handsome face, he charged out of the heavy encirclement and fled to this quiet corner.

If anyone were to hear Xiang Shaoyun's self-deprecating words, they would definitely be so shocked that their jaws would drop!​

A tier seven sect was a force to be reckoned with.

The Mortal Realm was divided into nine regions—the Nine Divine Regions. Every divine region was further divided into nine tiers. Their significance? It was done to isolate, maintain, and balance the power held by each region. The edicts dictated that the power held by each tier grew exponentially with their number.

Xiang Shaoyun had just claimed that he was the young master of a tier seven sect. If this news came to light at such a bottom-tier sect, it would cause a huge uproar.​

No one would be able to comprehend the mere fact that a young lord like him had fallen so low. To begin with, why would he even join the Hall of Martial arts? An unnamed, unremarkable, unranked, and useless sect?

Sadly, only Xian Shaoyun knew the whole story.​

In the past, Xiang Shaoyun was unrestrained and unfettered. He lived through life at his own pace. He would sometimes read hundreds upon hundreds of ancient books and scrolls—all in a single day. And at times, he would spend days musing over the Divine Nine Regions and their cultivation methods. Amidst all the studies, he would occasionally call upon his demonic beasts. He would ride them with his numerous servent and go out to the Blessed Immortal Mountains with children of elders and clansmen. They would hunt demonic brutes and look for spirit medicines at the mountain. At the night of the adventurous day, maids with fair skins and dainty figures would wait upon him.

Unfortunately, those days were long gone.

"Father, those villains might think that you are dead, but I know you are alive and well somewhere. I was weak and lost our family's wealth and possessions to those villains. Father, I have disappointed you. Father, I swear, I will personally deal with those villains and take back everything that belonged to our Xiang Family! I vowed when I was five that I will give all those so-called geniuses ten years to live. This is it, Father! The time for I, Xiang Shaoyun, to rise above all obstacles and ascend has come!" Xiang Shaoyun's handsome face was filled with resolve as he clenched his fists. "Wu Mingliang, you're the first stepping stone for this young master's rise!"​

Having thought everything through, Xiang Shaoyun ignored his injuries and ran to the training grounds once again. This time he chose the 500 pound stone furnace as his sprint companion.​

Martial Entering Stage: every single increase in the grade brought a 100-pound strength increment to the practitioner. This meant that a grade five Martial Entering Stage practitioner could lift a 500-pound stone.

Ah!

Xiang Shaoyun screamed like a madman.

"Has that genius gone mad because of Guo Zi and his group's beating? He's wailing like a ghost!"

"Haha! He working so hard to increase his cultivation, but how long can he last on an empty stomach? Can he practice forever without food? So what if he is a genius? He will be suppressed!"

"That's right. So what if he has Purple Lightning Marquis's support? Wu Mingliang is the son of the Mayor himself! Even the patriarch treats the Mayor with respect."​

"What a pity. Soon, we will see a genius wither away."

Many outer sect disciples sighed with regret. They couldn't help but feel sympathetic towards Xiang Shoyun's plight.​

In their eyes, Xiang Shaoyun would die before reaching his full potential.​

After all, they were still in the Martial Entering Stage, and food was vital for their growth in this stage. Food maintained their strength and could be converted into energy that helped them with cultivation.

Without food, how could Xiang Shaoyun even train?

"Young Master Wu, that kid seems to be very energetic!" In a corner, Gou Zi said to Wu Mingliang.​

"Geniuses are not that easy to kill. To subdue them, we need to be persistent. A few more times and he will lower his head. Keep an eye on him. Once I become an inner disciple, I will not mistreat you!" Wu Mingliang said.​

"Don't worry Young Master Wu. He won't be able to escape my grasp!" Gou Zi replied.​

Lifting a boulder and sprinting with a boulder on your back were completely different things. So, even for a fifth grade Martial Entering Stage cultivator, a continuous sprint with a 500 pound stone on his back was no easy task. A mere fifteen-minute run completely exhausted Xiang Shaoyun.​

Not to forget that he entered the fifth grade a mere twenty-four hours ago.

Xiang Shogun had a hunger for strength right now. There was no way he was getting discouraged this easily.​

"Overlord Dominating Heaven Mantra. Heart serene like the void; mighty like the stars. Condense the stars; absorb the void..." A cryptic chant immediately appeared in Xiang Shaoyun's mind!​

The Overlord Dominating Heaven Mantra was not the cultivation method that Zi Changhe gave Xiang Shaoyun. It was a high-grade ancient cultivation method that he had possessed for a long time!​

The Overlord Dominating Heaven Mantra was a remnant of a mantra that Xiang Shaoyun acquired as a child. While riding a demonic beast king, he had stumbled upon a mysterious realm. That mysterious realm felt like an illusion to him back then. Why? Because it was filled with obscure things and inexplicable secrets.​

When Xiang Shaoyun had obtained the Overlord Dominating Heaven Mantra, strands of magical light rose from the mantra and took root in his soul. It was such a befuddling sight that, to this day, it occupied a place in his mind.

It was a pity that the Overlord Dominating Heaven Mantra was only a third of the complete mantra. Yet, the abilities it possessed were comparable to the high-level mantra passed down in their family!

This very fact was the reason why he chose the Overlord Dominating Heaven Mantra over the mantra that had been passed down in his family.​

Not only did Xiang Shaoyun find this ancient technique domineering, but he also wanted to obtain all the other remnants to truly experience its might.

However, one had to follow a condition if they wanted to cultivate the Overlord Dominating Heaven Mantra: they must have a six star talent, at the least. Only a talent like this would be able to withstand the tyrannical might of this ancient technique.​

A person could have a total of nine stars, and even a four star talent was considered excellent. Xiang Shaoyun attracted five stars and caused a ruckus in the entire Dark Town. A mere five star talent shook up the upper echelons of the Hall of Martial Arts; left the entire Dark Town in an uproar. And then there was Overlord Dominating Heaven Mantra, which required a six star talent at a bare minimum.​

Now that Xiang Shaoyun dared to cultivate the Overlord Dominating Heaven Mantra, it was quite apparent that a five star talent wasn't his limit.​

If one could see inside Xiang Shaoyun and take a look at the stars within him, one would be able to discover that there were nine glittering spots of light throughout Xiang Shaoyun’s body, giving him a very mystical aura. The endless river of stars seemed to flow within him.​

This was the human body's pinnacle form—the nine star talent!

This kind of talent could never be constrained in the Mortal Realm. Moreover, even in tens of thousands of years, a talent like this was rarely seen.

If those hall masters or elders of the Hall of Martial Arts were to find out about this, they would definitely be terrified.

If such an extraordinary physique appeared in their tiny town, they might not even have the ability to guard it. There would definitely be an even more powerful force competing for it!

Xiang Shaoyun used the Overlord Dominating Heaven Mantra to circulate his strength. He found that his four limbs had become a lot lighter, the pressure on his body had decreased, and the speed at which he transformed his energy was also much faster.​

Physical Refinement helped to continuously accumulate the power of the stars. The moment one’s converted qi was able to finally take shape, one would be considered to have reached the Astral Transformation Stage.

Xiang Shaoyun had used the Overlord Dominating Heaven Mantra to activate the stars. The nine stars' absorption power was beyond imagination.​

Unknowingly, Xiang Shaoyun had been running for two hours. He realized that even though he had used up all his energy, there was still a faint surge of life force coming from him, allowing him to remain in a state of fullness!​

He wanted to continue running, but his stomach was protesting!

Gulp!

Xiang Shaoyun felt his body go weak and had no choice but to throw the boulder aside.​

"Damn it! What was that saying again? Yes, a grain of rice can't beat a hero. Even if you want me, Xiang Shaoyun, to give up and submit, you will still have a hard time?" Xiang Shaoyun shouted in indignation.​

At this moment, a young girl's voice came from right beside him. "I have something to eat if you want."
