Chapter 388: The Sixth Realm

The Ascension Battle is over.Li An returned to the dark red circular plaza.This time, he earned quite a few points, 1,300 in total.After collecting them, he returned home to cultivate.Frost and Snow earned 1,500 points, which were deposited into his account.Li An's heart, which had been somewhat cold, warmed again because of her.The ten-day cultivation was over.His cultivation progress reached 85%.His physical body score was 139, just shy of 140.However, this already allowed him to achieve a good score in the third round of the physical test.In the Strength Group, Li An once again took third place, with 168 points.Zhao Shaolong was in first place, having reached 175.In second place was Zhen, with 173.The gap between the two had narrowed to two points, which meant they hadn't reached the Seventh Realm yet. But that was only for this month, not too late.In the Speed Group, Li An advanced two places, to 19th. In the Physical Body Group, Li An advanced one place, now seventh.The rewards for the second month of the Baptism of Killing Intent were distributed.Li An earned a total of 1950 points.Including the transfer from Frost and Snow, it was close to 5000 points.Continue to practice diligently!Another ten days passed.Li An's cultivation progress reached 89%, with a Physical Body score of 143.Then, the Xuan Realm earthquake struck.Oh no!Zhen Yuzang has reached the Seventh Realm!With the third earthquake, the Shura Clan is about to take off!The Human Clan will lag behind, but not by much, as Zhao Shaolong has also reached the Seventh Realm, and Lin He and Liu Jun will follow next month.What about the Demon Clan?This time, everyone held out for almost three hours.Three hours later, the battle was over.Li An glanced at the leaderboard.Something bad is happening.Only four Humans remain in the top ten.The Ancient Shura Clan has five, while the Demon Clan still only has one, Bai Jianxin. Furthermore, Zang and Zhen tied for first and second, with Zhao Shaolong in third.This is the qualitative change that a top-tier player achieving a higher realm can bring.Zhao Shaolong alone couldn't withstand the power of two seventh-realm masters.There was simply no solution.Fortunately, the final score was still higher than last month.Last time, the total score was 16,000.This time, it reached 21,000.One person earned 2,100 points.Li An continued his diligent cultivation, his realm soaring. Ten days later, he reached 93% and his physical score was 148.At this rate, he should be able to reach the sixth realm within the next month.Then, sand and rocks flew.This time, the protagonist became the second-generation Human King, Ke Shengguo.This Human King was a genius who later grew up with Zhao Zhongtian and witnessed Zhao Zhongtian's ruthlessness in his middle and later years.After years of teaching and practice, Ke Shengguo surpassed his master.Not only was he ruthless, he was also a bit crazy. But Li An saw something even more moving.Ke Shengguo inherited everything from Zhao Zhongtian.But he lacked Zhao Zhongtian's mental fortitude.Therefore, he revealed an emotion Zhao Zhongtian had so carefully concealed—fear!Beneath Zhao Zhongtian's ruthlessness lay a fear of the universe!Ke Shengguo had inadvertently revealed this.That was why he was so frantic, relentless in his pursuit of humanity's advancement, willing to do anything, no matter how it meant forcing growth.Because he feared the universe.He knew the strength of those powerful races.If they targeted humanity,the power of the fourth or fifth level of the Divine Realm Dao Fruit would be no match for him!The human race had never been prosperous, nor had it ever been secure. At least during the era led by the second generation, humanity was still walking a tightrope. It seemed like they were making tremendous progress, but in the face of those already established races, it was nothing more than a smaller ant becoming a larger one.Most humans simply couldn't understand Ke Shengguo's insane decisions.The world assumed the Second Generation had become a slave to power, pursuing it at all costs.But that wasn't the case.He was simply afraid.Especially when he turned to face the world, seeing their innocent faces, he didn't know what to say.People believed themselves to be completely safe, to be living in a peaceful and prosperous age, and so they were all beaming with happiness.This left Li An in a trance.Ke Shengguo didn't seem crazy.On the contrary, he was incredibly kind!His kindness prevented him from bursting the bubble of happiness.His kindness also told him he must ensure the continued happiness of the world, and to this end, he fell into boundless madness.These were the other sides of the Human King that history books never explained.How many unspeakable things lay hidden in that seemingly supreme position?Li An subconsciously rubbed his palm.It was as if the Human King seal, given to him by the First Generation, was still in his hand. Leaving the Flying Sand and Rock Formation.Li An suddenly felt a jolt.Xiu Sheng Temple?No.Human King Hall!We were supposed to be entering the Human King Hall!So...Li An looked back at the portal at the entrance to the Flying Sand and Rock Formation, his pupils trembling.Is the reason we're going through all this because the higher-ups are looking for the next Human King?Finally, Li An walked silently towards the Xiu Sheng Treasure Tower and began to select resources for himself.The same old three: Concentrating Mind Pill, Marrow Cleansing Fluid, Giant Beast Blood Food, and Strengthening Great Essence Blood.Ten days later.Realm progress reached 97%.An incredibly perfect 97%, without a single impurity.Physical score had been pushed to 151!At this rate, after the physical examination, I'd be at the Sixth Realm before the next earthquake.Just as planned.Reach the Sixth Realm in a little over three months, 50% in another three months, and the Seventh Realm in the seventh month! Forget about that for now, physical fitness!Strength group.Li An's face froze.He scored a high 171, but couldn't even hold onto third place, or even fourth.Fourth place, Liu Jun, 189 points.Third place, Zang, 193 points.Second place, Zhen, 195 points.First place, Zhao Shaolong, 199 points.All in the seventh realm!So annoying!Li An took a deep breath, thinking, no rush.I can get over 170 in the fifth realm, so the sixth realm will definitely start at 190, right?I can't lose.In the speed group, Li An also dropped one place, to 20.In the physical strength group, Li An even dropped three places, falling to tenth.Because, this month, eight or nine contestants have already reached the seventh realm.Several of them, whose average scores were originally outside the top ten, have taken off after leaping into a new realm.But that's acceptable.Those contestants were once ranked outside the top ten because they did nothing but break through the realms.Don't worry, I'll be back in my previous position next month!However, this time I earned even more points than before.This is my fourth month in the Cultivation Temple.Emperor Qi said that every three months, all rewards will be increased by 300 points.The Baptism of Killing Intent has also been increased.The original monthly reward of 600 points has now reached 900.Frost and Snow's has also been increased.Li An suddenly gained a huge sum of money, over 7,000 points.Focus on breaking through the sixth realm, wait for the fourth earthquake, and surpass the ancient Shura clan in one fell swoop!
