Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 563 - 362: Dragon Ascending Ladder, Transform into Dragon Energy (Part 2)

Many of the young people who do not have the qualification to climb the mountain are clenching their fists.

Over here, many of those who have ascended the steps have already begun their ascent in their own ways.

Xiao Tianzuo placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and a kind of sword intent emerged from him, resisting the gravitational pull of the earth beneath his feet. He lifted his foot again, stepped onto the next level, and stood on the second layer, saying to Chen Ku on the first layer and the Five Sons of Yan Capital:

"Indeed, with each ascent to a new layer, the gravity strengthens by one layer. I understand now; these mountain-climbing steps test the bearer’s strength of weight. In this case, as long as we each display our own martial arts, we should be able to climb many layers in one breath."

After saying this, he lifted his foot and began to use his own sword intent to propel his body towards the mountain top with great strides.

Everyone on the mountain-climbing path at this moment realized this truth and began to show off their various divine skills.

In an instant, various forms of martial arts true energy erupted on the path up the mountain.

In no time, some strong experts from the Genius List had already climbed over a thousand steps in one breath. It seemed that they had already reached two-thirds of the height, and only then did their speed start to slow down.

Chen Ku, on the steps, heard the voices of the people around him.

"Those are all experts from the Heroic List!"

"Every one of them is ranked within the top hundred and at least has cultivation at the Ninth Realm blood exchange level."

He also noticed those who were faster than him, each with a strong aura and all under thirty years old.

Some people, due to the intense pressure of the climb, had already started gasping, but when they turned to look at those climbing rapidly, they said to their friends beside them:

"This time, the Divine Martial Hall is selecting students under thirty, so it screened out many geniuses on the Genius List who were already over thirty. Otherwise, this climbing lineup would be even more massive."

The limit for the Genius List is before the age of fifty.

It is somewhat more lenient, whereas the enrollment in the Divine Martial Academy aims to inject fresh blood into the Daji army, so the conditions are stricter, requiring a younger appearance, thus only admitting students under thirty.

Under these two different rules, nearly two-thirds of the people on the Genius List are blocked outside.

Not to mention, among the top hundred of the Genius List on the Heroic List, there are thirty-seven heroes who are already over thirty. Of course, this does not mean these people have become less powerful because of their age.

Those who can enter the top hundred ranking in a province must at least have cultivation or combat power at the Ninth Realm.

Take, for example, the second-ranked hero in Dragon Abyss, Li Wanzhao, who just turned thirty-one this year and is also beyond the rules.

While everyone was still climbing, someone had already reached the top of the mountain.

In an instant, golden light flashed at the mountaintop,

Everyone also lifted their heads to look at the fastest person scaling the mountain and recognized the other:

"As expected, it’s him."

"Xue Bailiu!"

"The first person to climb the mountain is indeed Xue Bailiu, it could only be him!"

"The young Great Innate at twenty-nine, one of the prides of Dragon Abyss Province."

On this side of the mountain road.

Xiao Tianzuo also slowly exhaled, looked at that person, and turned back to say to Chen Ku and a few others beside him who were climbing at a similar pace:

"It seems that the first person among the Divine Martial First Phase trainees is already decided, and it makes one willingly convinced."

"Xue Bailiu, the third on the Heroic List?"

Chen Ku stared at the figure that had already reached the mountain peak, and his mind quickly flashed with some of the customs and practices of Dragon Abyss Province he had observed in a small courtyard for those few days, and the information about the top hundred names and identities on the Dragon Abyss Nine Provinces Genius List, which had just been updated a month ago and printed into Jianghu tabloids.

The number one on the Heroic List, Hua Yuexian, has now joined the Martial Arts Holy Land Fighting God Palace, essentially chosen as the next generation Saint, only twenty-five years old this year. It is said that the last time he appeared in the world was three years ago, having achieved great success with the Taibai Immortal Body at the peak of the Eleventh Realm, crossing eight minor realms and two major realms, capable of fighting experts at the Thirteenth Realm.

Three years ago, he already had the combat power of the Thirteenth Realm, comparable to the young Champion Marquis of those days; now, three years later, one wonders what level he has reached.

The second is Li Wanzhao, who is already thirty-one years old, six years older than Hua Yuexian, but since ascending the Heroic List from the day he appeared, he has always been pressed beneath Hua Yuexian, known as the eternal number two.

Still, that is only relative to Hua Yuexian.

The second on the Heroic List, Li Wanzhao, is reportedly now his ’cultivation body’ has reached great success, transforming into the Martial Path True Body, stepping into the peak of the Eleventh Realm. Although he is excluded from the Divine Martial Hall selection conditions due to age restrictions, the information Chen Ku saw suggests that this second hero of Dragon Abyss likely has no intention of attending the Divine Martial Hall.

Because he seems to be in the process of creating his own influence, at the age of thirty-one, already preparing to become the founder of a sect, reportedly applying for qualifications with the Martial Temple these days and contacting a few old monsters that have lived for hundreds of years, to serve as the honored figures within the Ancestor Hall. If all conditions allow, perhaps soon, the nine major sects of Dragon Abyss will become ten major sects.

Lastly, there is the third-ranked Xue Bailiu.

Only twenty-nine years old, but already at the peak of the Tenth Realm Primordial Heaven Realm. In terms of cultivation and combat power, he may even be stronger than many teachers within the Divine Martial Hall. In Jianghu tabloids, he is rumored to possess the ’Xuanwu True Body.’
