This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!

The man's figure was ramrod straight, and every step he took seemed to have been measured with a ruler, each one nearly identical in distance.

He was dressed in the light blue robe worn by Wuda lecturers, with an embroidered 'Martial' character on the left chest, accompanied by a small star.

This was the symbol of a Wuda professor, indicating that the comer was also a professor from Wuda.

"Professor Qin."

The person who had come to report to Xu Jing quickly bowed upon seeing the newcomer, looking somewhat flustered.

It seemed that the presence of this individual exerted no less pressure on him than that of Xu Jing, the 'Homicidal Maniac,' a Martial Arts Master.

"You may leave now."

Xu Jing told him.

"Yes."

He bowed again to Xu Jing and then quickly left the place.

On the other side, Professor Qin had already reached the outside of Xu Jing's courtyard and stood still in front of the fence.

"The principal sent me to keep an eye on you."

He said in a very matter-of-fact tone.

"Ha, that old fart!"

Xu Jing sneered, "He's not afraid I'll kill you!"

Hearing such a threat, Qin Zhen remained expressionless, completely undisturbed.

"Qin Zhen, do you know why, out of so many professors at Wuda, you are the one I can't stand the most?"

Xu Jing still lay in the rattan chair without getting up, not even bothering to look at Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen stood in front of the fence, offering no response.

Whether Xu Jing found him agreeable or not had absolutely no effect on him.

Knowing the kind of person Qin Zhen was, Xu Jing didn't mind but merely scoffed:

"It's because your demeanor always reminds me of somebody."

"Are you referring to the senior Hao Yi?"

Qin Zhen asked.

Mentioning Hao Yi finally added a hint of fluctuation to his rigid tone.

"That's right, your personalities are quite similar."

Xu Jing said.

"I find it quite regrettable."

Qin Zhen suddenly said.

"Hmm?"

Xu Jing turned to look at Qin Zhen, knowing that the other was certainly not commenting on the regret of sharing Hao Yi's personality.

"If I had been born thirty years earlier, I would have liked to exchange Martial Arts expertise with the senior Hao Yi."

Qin Zhen said.

This was his regret.

Xu Jing laughed at this, "You could always try harder and then come to exchange Martial Arts expertise with me."

Qin Zhen looked at him earnestly, nodding: "I will."

Anyone else saying this, Xu Jing would not have taken seriously, but Qin Zhen's declaration had to be taken to heart.

Though Qin Zhen was still in the Tao Foundation Stage, his Tao Foundation was not something ordinary people could compare with.

The foremost name on Feng Province's Leaderboard was Qin Zhen!

This meant that Qin Zhen was the strongest among the hundreds of Tao Foundation powerhouses in the entire Feng Province!

Moreover, Qin Zhen was also among the candidates for the Fengyun Leaderboard.

The so-called 'Fengyun Leaderboard' originated from the Imperial City.

Eventually, as each province of the Da Lan Dynasty came up with their own leaderboards, the Imperial City's leaderboard evolved as well, combining the leaderboards of all twenty-three provinces into a singular Fengyun Leaderboard.

In other words, from all the Tao Foundation experts across the nation, only the strongest ten were listed on this leaderboard!

In twenty-three provinces plus the metropolis of talent that was the Imperial City, and adding on the powerhouses from the frontier armies; out of so many Tao Foundation powerhouses, only ten could be listed.

Beyond this, the Fengyun Leaderboard also had a list of ten candidates, but without a specific ranking.

The credibility and influence of the Fengyun Leaderboard were unparalleled.

Over the years, if a province managed to have a Tao Foundation powerhouse listed on the Fengyun Leaderboard, that province's Martial Arts World would rise in status, earning newfound respect.

For the past hundred years, Feng Province had not had a Tao Foundation powerhouse included in the Fengyun Leaderboard, so it was always considered a 'weak Martial Arts Province.'

Until Hao Yi appeared out of nowhere.

He was rapidly included as a candidate in the Fengyun Leaderboard, awaiting only his achievement of more spectacular victories, or a direct challenge to one of the elites listed, to officially enter the leaderboard.

At the time, many people firmly believed that Hao Yi would definitely make it onto the Fengyun Leaderboard and create new history for Feng Province!

Unfortunately, before his name could be entered into the Fengyun Leaderboard, he suddenly retired from the World and disappeared without a trace.

More than thirty years had passed, and not a single Tao Foundation Stage powerhouse from Feng Province had made it onto the Da Lan Dynasty's Fengyun Leaderboard.

Qin Zhen was the most hopeful candidate after Hao Yi; he was listed as a nominee for the Fengyun Leaderboard three years ago.

That's why he felt regret.

If only he had been born thirty years earlier, he could have matched himself against Hao Yi, who was also famous in Datong Prefecture of Feng Province, to find out who truly was the strongest Tao Foundation Stage in Feng Province's history!

The Tao Foundation Stage is divided into eight grades, or rather seven and a half to be exact.

Those above the seventh grade are considered to be the true peak of Tao Foundation.

Qin Zhen was such a peak Tao Foundation Stage fighter, only a hair's breadth away from a Breakthrough.

In fact, if he wanted to, he could have long since attempted to make a Breakthrough, to cultivate the Martial Arts Foundation, and become a Martial Arts Master.

But he had always been deliberately suppressing his own Realm, slowly honing it, all to pursue the cultivation of the most perfect Martial Arts Foundation.

This is why Xu Jing took Qin Zhen's words seriously. Someone like Qin Zhen would sooner or later become a Martial Arts Master.

"This time, Yu Longqing brought his two Exotic Beasts and several Tao Foundation Stage powerhouses to Drum Stone Town..."

Xu Jing suddenly became interested and shared the newly obtained intelligence with Qin Zhen, then asked,

"If it were you facing such an encirclement, do you think you could kill all those people and beasts?"

He didn't ask if Qin Zhen could protect himself, but whether he could kill everyone and every beast involved in the encirclement!

Upon hearing this question, Qin Zhen also began to ponder seriously.

He didn't like chatting with Xu Jing, but Xu Jing's question sparked his interest because he knew that Hao Yi had faced a similar encirclement back in his day.

"If I were at Senior Hao Yi's age back then, I would definitely not be able to do it, but now, of course, there is no problem."

Qin Zhen said this.

He was thirty years old this year, having made his Breakthrough to the Tao Foundation Stage at twenty-four, while Hao Yi was only twenty-three when he faced that encirclement!

At twenty-three, Hao Yi was encircled by six Tao Foundation Stage fighters and managed to counter-kill four of them!

Compared to what Green-faced Ghost faced today, the lineup he had faced back then was somewhat stronger.

With such a comparison, Qin Zhen naturally fell far short of Hao Yi. However, what Qin Zhen wanted to compare with Hao Yi was not the speed of cultivation, but the height reached within the Tao Foundation Stage.

"If that Green-faced Ghost can survive today, that will be quite interesting."

Xu Jing suddenly remarked.

At those words, Qin Zhen's eyes lit up; he nodded, agreeing with Xu Jing's statement:

"Indeed, I'm looking forward to it."

Xu Jing looked up at the azure sky above.

For some reason, he had an intuition that the Green-faced Ghost wouldn't die today and that he was likely to be very young.

Just like Hao Yi back in his day!

This feeling made Xu Jing somewhat uncomfortable.

To this day, he still couldn't let go of Hao Yi, and yet people like Qin Zhen were already growing up.

Now it was possible that another Green-faced Ghost had emerged.

This World was always one wave pushing the next, with every generation having its own highlights.

Xu Jing suddenly thought of the Fengyun List in the Imperial City.

Initially, the reason this list was called the Fengyun List was because of a phrase:

"Heroes of the land arise amidst storm and strife!"

The storm and strife that belonged to the era of Hao Yi and Xu Jing had completely passed.

Now, in the World of Datong Prefecture, a new storm was brewing!

...

Out in the wasteland, several 'Yellow Dragons' were pursuing at high speed.

Running at the forefront was Li Fei, who time and again executed Vajra Seal·Roc, increasing the distance between himself and the several Tao Foundation Stage fighters following him.

But even after using Vajra Seal·Roc, he still couldn't shake off the Thunder Light Snow Leopard Beast.

This Exotic Beast clung tenaciously to his trail, with the distance between them sometimes narrowing, sometimes widening.

Vajra Seal·Roc only lasted ten seconds each time, and executing it once would consume a portion of Li Fei's Heart Power, physical strength, and Force. He couldn't keep running like this indefinitely.

In a battle of attrition, he would surely lose to the Exotic Beast.

Therefore, after running for more than two minutes, Li Fei suddenly turned around and charged toward the Thunder Light Snow Leopard Beast!

From the beginning of today's encirclement, he never considered himself the weaker party.

Who would kill whom was still an open question!

...
