"No way!!"
"Something must have been wrong before."
Su Tu held his hand in a knife-hand pose, trying repeatedly, but he couldn’t evoke that killing intent.
There must be a problem somewhere.
He kept recalling the scene of the man swinging down the hammer, that overwhelming killing intent, that fearless fighting spirit.
Su Tu stopped caring about the precision of the movements and focused more on that unparalleled aura.
In the mystic, he seemed to touch something.
Next moment!
He stepped forward, using his palm as a blade, eyes intertwining with battle and killing intent. Instantly, on his hand blade, an illusion of a headless roar seemed to emerge.
Then it transformed into a ghostly light, merging onto the hand blade.
Snap~
With a crisp sound, the wooden man dummy was actually cut in half, falling to both sides.
"Whoa!!!" Fat Zhuge exclaimed in astonishment upon witnessing this scene.
The other students were all shocked as well.
The wooden man dummy used for martial artist technique training was not an ordinary object, although it appeared as just an ordinary dummy from the outside.
In fact, the inside was constructed from memory metal, possessing strong adaptability.
It could adjust internal resonance based on the martial artist’s force to keep the post stable.
The wooden man dummy they were using now could perfectly withstand all impact and damage below the Mingtiao Realm.
But now, this wooden dummy was actually cut in half by a single hand blade from Su Tu.
This meant that Su Tu’s strike had reached the level of the Mingtiao peak.
Only in this way could the wooden post be easily cut open.
"I feel like this training camp is just giving you points."
"Honestly, I just got intel that a large group of New Star prodigies will come to the North Sea for this training camp. Initially, I wanted you to be careful, but now I think someone else needs to watch out..." Mo Ya pursed her lips.
Su Tu was also surprised by his own strike.
He hadn’t expected Xingtian to be capable of this.
His Prajna Seven Kills had only reached Observing the Micro level, and at full strength could only cause cracks in the wooden dummy.
But this Xingtian, just at Entry Level, could split it in half; such killing power was a bit too astounding.
But... everything is relative.
Su Tu could feel that the Qi within him was nearly exhausted, just calling forth a trace of weak killing intent used up all his Qi.
This technique, though powerful in terms of killing force, still needs cautious usage.
"Chen Yuan, I didn’t expect you to be so generous. Since that’s the case, I will definitely kill you quickly, sending you early to reincarnation."
Su Tu was in a good mood, thinking to himself.
That day at the Martial Arts Department, Chen Yuan’s face, as if people’s lives were mere steps to him, Su Tu hadn’t forgotten,
Hence, Su Tu would climb the martial arts ladder on his life!
With this Xingtian, Su Tu’s killing power rose further, bringing his plan to assist Chen Yuan’s rebirth closer.
Actually, Su Tu had another plan, which was his Iron Man Solo Arena, but now he wasn’t sure of Chen Yuan’s level if they were to purely compete in physical strength.
If his body was somewhat lacking...
Then before Su Tu steps into Falling Leaves, he could achieve his goal in that space.
But for now, it’s too early to say these things.
After chatting with Luo Fan and others for a while,
Su Tu learned what they were discussing in the rest area just now.
The Daoist Master announced that he would take the top seven in the martial arts exam as direct disciples, causing some prodigies who didn’t want to come to Ancestor Star to head there.
Even powerful aristocratic families applied for additional quotas, while some hidden families originally didn’t want to meddle in the chaos of Ancestor Star.
But with the words ’Daoist Master’s Direct Disciple’,
the entire Federation was in turmoil, and all prodigious martial artists under twenty were excited beyond measure.
Becoming a direct disciple of the Daoist Master was already akin to having half a foot on the peak of the Martial Arts Mountain.
Moreover, if a family could connect with the Daoist Master in even a small way, the whole family would rise with the tide.
Those hidden families could no longer sit still.
Now, Ancestor Star was truly standing at the center of attention, with all prodigies gathering there.
"Xiao Tu, although your talent is amazing, Ancestor Star is not what it used to be. This training camp will bring in a batch of new star visitors, and you still need to be cautious."
"Among these martial artists, there are a few you need to pay special attention to; they are all candidates for the Celestial Pride List."
Luo Fan said seriously.
Since that fight with Su Tu, Luo Fan felt he owed Su Tu a favor, and thus he was very concerned about Su Tu’s matters.
"Celestial Pride List..."
Su Tu was both familiar and unfamiliar with this term. Li Hu had tried to mention the Celestial Pride List several times before but was stopped by Zhou Wuliang.
He searched the forum for information about the Celestial Pride List, knowing only that it was a ranking list for martial art prodigies.
But he felt it was certainly more than that.
"The teacher doesn’t want you to know about the Celestial Pride List now because once you know the truth of the list, you’ll be drawn into it. The teacher should have his own concerns."
"So I can’t explain the truth about the Celestial Pride List to you now either."
"But I can tell you that those who can make it to the Celestial Pride List are definitely prodigies of their generation."
"Some can challenge across levels as easily as drinking water, some can have an epiphany overnight and break through several realms,
some are born with Martial Bones and start seeking the True Intent of Martial Arts while still at Peeping Branch. In short, any martial artist associated with the Celestial Pride List is monstrously terrifying."
Listening to Luo Fan’s words, Su Tu nodded seriously.
In recent days, his Skill Level had skyrocketed, gaining a little black slave and a solo arena, and now having mastered Xingtian. Actually, Su Tu still felt a bit ’lightheaded’ internally.
This is a very normal state of mind; when people gain a lot of success, they tend to feel this way, similar to a ’not so hard after all’ feeling.
But this feeling is deadly!!
Before acquiring the system, Su Tu’s rankings in exams kept improving, and this ’lightheaded’ feeling appeared, after which he unconsciously became complacent.
This time he skipped a question, next time he shortened a formula.
In the end, his rank dropped to over a hundred in his grade.
Missing a little here and a little there accumulates into a huge gap; being rebellious this time and arrogant next time can lead to ego inflation later on.
Luo Fan’s few words reminded Su Tu.
Relying on the system panel, he indeed had a great advantage in martial arts, but there was no shortage of geniuses beyond the Star River, and the sun always brings something new.
Among countless martial artists, there are always freaks, always geniuses; only by moving forward step by step, forging ahead, can one... stand above all suns!

The system prompt appeared before his eyes, as if acknowledging Su Tu’s current mindset.
In the days that followed, Su Tu cultivated Qi in the inner room Grotto Heaven, then diligently honed his techniques and refined his physique, advancing step by step, and the hint of impatience was completely nipped in the bud.
The climbers of the mountain base, only by tasting all the hardships can they appreciate the view from the peak.
That day, after finishing his cultivation, Su Tu went for a barbecue with Luo Fan and the others, a rare opportunity to relax.
After they each went their separate ways, Su Tu felt like someone was following him.
This thought had just arisen.
Buzz!!!
A wave surged, pausing everything around.
Su Tu recognized this method; the teacher had used this technique on that day.
Using the Power of the Heart and Spirit to create a space connected by heart and spirit.
To achieve this, the person’s heart and spirit rank was far above his!
As Su Tu pondered, a figure in a white tracksuit appeared before him.
Su Tu’s pupils suddenly contracted; it was the Spirit Host!!
Were they finally coming for him?
Was it because of the Paradise plan or something else...
Was he exposed?
As Su Tu thought this, his Heart Thought slightly darkened, wanting to communicate with his own essential world, but at this moment, in the space built by this person, he couldn’t perceive the existence of his own essential world.
"Not good, the gap in heart and spirit rank is too large!!" Su Tu was shocked.
But he quickly calmed down; the Protective Treasure that Li Hu gave him he had been carrying with him all these days, and it wasn’t enough to kill him with the heart and spirit alone.
The white-clothed person used Instantaneous Movement and appeared right in front of Su Tu.
Su Tu’s heart and spirit instantly tensed, his eyes hiding fierce light,
But the other’s behavior completely exceeded Su Tu’s expectations.
The white-clad person actually bowed and saluted him with respect and said:
"We thank you for your immense kindness!!
