Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Grandmasters Attempt Cultivation, Cry Out in Shock at Its Unorthodoxy; Martial Exam Rankings Announced, Stirring Celestial Yang City of Great Xia

"Martial Arts Great Power... This must have been created by a Martial Arts Great Power, could it be... those senior figures of the Human Race?"

"I don’t know!"

"Can’t figure it out, can’t understand."

"Although I don’t grasp the idea, I am greatly shocked."

"Such a bit of pain can exchange for a cultivation speed that can be called miraculous, it’s simply ridiculous."

"Exactly! Speaking of which, those Lower Third Grade Martial Artists are just too weak, crying for mercy over a little pain, truly wasting the painstaking efforts of the predecessors."

"..."

The Grandmasters exclaimed one after another, looking disdainful when discussing some martial artists’ comments.

Seeing this, Grandmaster Qin spoke cheerfully.

"Everyone, why not try it yourselves?"

Upon hearing this, several Grandmasters responded eagerly at once.

"Sure!"

"I’ve been wanting to try!"

"No problem!"

"..."

With that, they sat cross-legged and began to circulate their Qi Blood according to the cultivation method of the Painful Demon Body.

Seeing this scene, Grandmaster Qin’s smile deepened, and a few seconds later, he glanced at the others and once again extended an invitation.

"How about the rest of you give it a try together?"

The remaining few exchanged glances, deciding to follow their instincts and all refused.

"Uh... let’s wait a bit..."

"No rush! No rush! We’ll try slowly when we get back!"

"It’s fine with them trying; let’s focus on the important matters."

"..."

Hearing this response, Grandmaster Qin sighed regretfully, but did not insist. Silently, he took out his phone and opened the recording function.

Pointing the camera at the Grandmasters who were cultivating, he slowly waited for the good show to unfold.

Meanwhile.

The remaining few felt an inexplicable sense of relief in their hearts, as if they had narrowly escaped a major calamity.

On the other hand, as time passed second by second, the Grandmasters attempting to cultivate the Painful Demon Body showed gradual changes in their expressions.

After five minutes, their brows slightly furrowed.

After ten minutes, their facial muscles twitched.

After fifteen minutes, their teeth clenched tightly, their expressions growing fierce.

After twenty minutes, their bodies trembled, sweat broke from their foreheads, and steam seemed to erupt all over them...

Grandmaster Qin continued recording, the corners of his mouth rising in a mischievous grin.

Meanwhile, the few Grandmasters who narrowly avoided the trial exchanged looks again, seeing the relief in each other’s eyes.

Soon after that, they unanimously took out their phones and tapped on the recording function.

A couple more minutes passed, and those Grandmasters sitting cross-legged one by one broke their composure from the cultivation and couldn’t help but let out strange cries.

"Ow... What the heck! Hiss! Hiss! What kind of technique is this? It’s too wicked!"

"Uh uh uh... Phew... I can’t practice this... Can’t go on! It’s more painful than when I was severely injured by those Zhen Race beasts last time!"

"Wicked! This is truly wicked! What kind of evil technique is this? It’s eye-opening, truly eye-opening!"

"Ouch... It hurts... Hurts like hell! What kind of lousy technique is this? I won’t practice it!"

"Eh? Grandmaster Qin, what... what are you doing?"

"..."

Finally, a Grandmaster realized something was off and asked the fatal question.

To this, Grandmaster Qin chuckled, discreetly put away his phone, waved his hand, and vaguely dodged the question.

"Nothing... Nothing... Just playing a game."

However, those Grandmasters weren’t fools and instantly understood everything.

"Playing a game?"

Who’s going to trust such a lame excuse!

But being trapped by such a trifling matter, there was no way to say anything.

A few silent curses in their hearts were all they could do; the rest they had to pretend to be oblivious.

The other recording Grandmasters followed suit, putting away their phones and watching the drama with glee.

Moments later.

The Grandmasters launched a new round of discussions on the previous matter.

"Aside from other things, if we can endure the torture, the cultivation effect is indeed absurd—it might increase dozens or even hundreds of times."

"All the candidates in Celestial Yang City have cultivated the Painful Demon Body; won’t this be unfair to others?"

"What should we do? Do we still announce it?"

"Of course announce it! After all, the results were earned through skill, not cheating!"

"That’s right! Being able to bear this much pain—what does it matter if the results are better?"

"Such a pity! Lin Ping’an’s aptitude is too poor, even with astonishing perseverance, his potential is locked! This little guy becoming the top scorer will surely face immense pressure in the future."

"By the way, with the appearance of the miraculous Painful Demon Body technique, should the martial exam reform be put on the agenda? Let’s add a third section, combat assessment scores."

"Seconded!"

"+1."

"I also agree, to avoid such situations in the future."

"The worsening situation on the battlefield is also the time to put some pressure on the new generation!"

"...!"

That evening.

The Great Xia’s high school exam results list was published, and various academies also announced the year’s admission cutoff scores.

Candidates from various cities quickly checked their rankings, accompanied by their families, inputting their exam numbers.

"Hahaha... I’ve made it... I’ve made it... Given my score and ranking, any top academy is easy to choose; thank the Painful Demon Body and the Warrior of Love master."

"Boohoo... just missed it... just missed it... I was so close to meeting Hu Hai Academy’s admission criteria."

"325th? How possible? How could I rank so low? I am a Martial Arts prodigy who has undergone Body Tempering twice!"

"..."

While some rejoiced, others lamented; overall, most candidates from Celestial Yang City belonged to the joyful group.

After all, after dozens of days of painful cultivation, everyone’s results improved far beyond expectations.

Moreover, in various cities within different schools, some Martial Arts students with low aptitude were equally excited after seeing their scores.

"I made it! Finally made it!"

"All those years of suffering weren’t in vain; I will surely become strong."

"..."

It can be said that during the time the Painful Demon Body technique appeared, it had begun directly or indirectly changing many people’s destinies.

At the same time, Lin Ping’an’s system panel saw his Civilization Value suddenly skyrocket.

8976... 12876... 15679... 24369...

Every minute, every second, it’s constantly climbing.

Seeing this, Lin Ping’an, working hard in the Creation Space, was slightly puzzled but quickly used it extensively to accelerate the upgrading of the Profound-level Technique, Stealth Technique.

With ample Civilization Value support, and the increasingly spreading feedback from the Concealing Breath Technique inspiration.

The progress of the new technique is advancing rapidly.

...32%...41%...53%...

As time passes, it’s ever closer to becoming more complete.

The next day, the real-world network and the Celestial Dao Network began boiling again.

Due to certain cities’ candidates being unable to accept their low rankings, they started investigating the reasons.

Some people examining the Great Xia list suddenly pointed out something off.

The candidates from the small city known as Celestial Yang had surprisingly excellent scores.

So good that it’s shocking, ridiculous, and unbelievable.

This immediately made some people feel they had found a lead, sparking controversy by constantly proposing cheating suspicions.

Subsequently, with unknown forces fanning the flames, the matter spiraled, growing increasingly heated.

Countless media agencies, companies, websites, and even self-media joined in the frenzy.

Writing article after article about it, trying to seize the traffic and acquire substantial heat.
