Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog

Time flies, a year has passed.

"Since the opening of Divine Martial Mountain, a year has gone by, and the war at the front has been raging for nearly two years. Within these two years, our Ji Country has lost many cities, regained few, and is already pressured by Yuan Country, struggling to hold on. Although the Yujing Sect has sent Prince Yong to fight once more... it’s said the Great Fortune Dynasty is also eyeing us, just a step away, and by then, our Daji will face threats from both sides."

In the main hall of Divine Martial Mountain, the elder Ying Yunqian, the Main Sacrificial Officer of Dragon Abyss Martial Temple, sighed and said:

"Fortunately, in this year’s time, we have trained many talents for the Imperial Court. We can only hope that once they are on the battlefield, they can overturn some of the disadvantages at the front."

"The trainees of this batch are now all normal, with eighty percent achieving excellent scores in the ten halls’ courses. If they were to go to the battlefield, even the worst student could lead three thousand soldiers and hold the position of ’Capital Commandant.’"

The Chief Instructor Zu Dengfeng spoke slowly, then frowned, looking at the Extermination Hall instructor beside him, asking:

"By the way, has Chen Ku not returned from the Destruction Tower yet? Wasn’t it promised by Murong Palace Master that Chen Ku would return in time for the graduation exam?"

"Er... he should, I suppose." The instructor stationed at Divine Martial Mountain hesitantly replied.

"What do you mean by ’should’?"

Zu Dengfeng’s face changed immediately and said:

"As the outstanding student among our first batch trainees at Divine Martial Mountain, Chen Ku must come back for the graduation exam."

The instructor from Extermination Hall hesitated and did not answer, saying: "Chen Ku is comprehending forbidden techniques in the Destruction Tower; indeed, time is hard to determine. Chief Instructor, please understand, the Forbidden Technique, Sealing Origin Technique, and Soul Stabilizing Technique of our tower are supreme techniques to resist Yuan Country’s Qi Cultivators. It’s very normal for Chen Ku to spend more time on them."

Zu Dengfeng remained silent.

Of course, he understood this point, and because of this understanding, the Mountain Master had agreed to let Chen Ku go to the Destruction Tower for further studies, but now three or four months had passed... 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Just when Zu Dengfeng was about to inquire.

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the hall:

"Report to Chief Instructor, Vice Mountain Master, there has been a change in the graduation exam. A disciple named ’Xiao Li’ displayed strength beyond his long-term performance and defeated his opponent ’Xiao Tianzuo’ during the exam, then directly challenged Xue Bailiu!"

Zu Dengfeng was stunned for a moment.

Then his expression changed, saying:

"Challenge whom?"

Challenging Xue Bailiu?

Suddenly, he seemed to understand something, immediately stood up, and said loudly:

"Not good, let’s go out to see!"

However, just as he got up and wanted to leave the main hall.

Above the long sky outside the hall, a blood-red barrier suddenly appeared, filled with sinister blood Qi, enveloping the entire hall.

"This is..."

At this moment, looking at the blood-red barrier outside the hall, including Zu Dengfeng, all the Martial Temple’s Sacrificial Officers’ expressions changed, immediately outlining the situation on Divine Martial Mountain from their Qi Mechanism.

A blood-red cubic structure covered their entire main hall.

"Thirteen Sealing Yang Array?"

And in the Big Examination Square outside, a young man bathed in Divine Fire appeared, like an ancient Divine Spirit emerging from the sun, overlooking all the trainees below.

Main Sacrificial Officer Ying Yunqian paled instantly, looking at the blood-red light screen outside the hall, and exclaimed:

"This requires at least four ascension realm Qi Cultivators, paired with at least four Pure Yang Treasures of the thirteenth realm, to set up such a large formation. How could it suddenly appear here? Could it be..."

At this moment.

A voice echoed through the main hall with a faint chuckle, responding:

"That’s naturally because we’ve already infiltrated Divine Martial Mountain long ago."

Ying Yunqian and Zu Dengfeng turned their heads instantly.

To see that the speaker was actually Yin Yang Hall Master Mu Qingyun.

"Mu Qingyun, you... are a Qi Cultivator from Yuan Country?" Ying Yunqian exclaimed.

"No, Main Sacrificial Officer, he is not Mu Qingyun, although it’s unclear who he is!"

Zu Dengfeng spoke, his blood Qi exploding instantly:

"I’ll capture him and find out!"

Boom~~

Having already stepped into the thirteenth realm of Shattering Void, this former Martial Arts Top Scholar of Daji moved his foot, and the void inside the hall shattered under his body. In the next moment, he appeared in front of Mu Qingyun.

A punch, struck at the opponent’s abdomen!

At a distance of nearly a foot, the space collapsed.

However...

Under this punch, the middle-aged man in a yin and yang-colored Taoist robe, his body scattered into a pool of spiritual energy, penetrated through the mark of Zu Dengfeng’s fist.

"Zu Dengfeng, what a mighty punch, but unfortunately, none of us are truly present in this hall. No need to worry, once we’ve completed this assault on your so-called cultivated ’young officers,’ the formation might be lifted afterward."

With the sound of the voice.

The hall was empty of people.

"What?" Zu Dengfeng was furious: "Do you really think you can leave Divine Martial Mountain after a successful assault?"

"That’s none of your concern. After all, we old folks with fading life spans came ready to die to destroy your young generation of Ji Country. Since you plan to rely on them to win this war, we won’t allow you the hope of doing so!"

The voice was very old, even a bit breathless.

And upon hearing these words, Ying Yunqian immediately rushed toward the rear of the hall.

"Not good, quickly... quickly call for the Mountain Master’s projection!"

"Don’t waste your effort. Do you think us old folks came alone into your Divine Martial Mountain? Without the coordination of our Yuan Country Alliance Army at the front line applying pressure to Li Shentong, how else would today be possible? Hence, do not imagine you can still awaken Li Shentong’s projection, he himself is trapped within the domain of one of our country’s Ascension Realm Great Ability at the front line."

The voice concluded with a sigh:

"The only pity is that the demon student from your Ji Country, reputed to rival Hua Yuexian, is not on the mountain. What a regret."

......

Boom!

Boom!

At this moment, in the Wu Destiny Square outside the Divine Martial Mountain Hall, various Martial Arts Absolute Forms, all shot at the young man resembling an ancient Fire God in mid-air.

Yet, no matter how the talented students below attacked, the Martial Arts Killing Moves they sent out were all consumed by the flames burning on the youth’s Divine Fire Body.

"What kind of flames are those?" Xue Bailiu, after unleashing Xuanwu True Strength successfully, found it ineffective, his expression extremely serious.

Unexpectedly, the young Fire God suddenly turned his gaze upon him, and then Xue Bailiu heard the voice from the other side:

"Allow me to introduce myself, I am Xiao Li, the Chief True Inheritor of Fire Virtue Sect, one of the ten Qi Cultivation Holy Lands of Da Yuan. Xue Bailiu, I am here under the sect’s command to obliterate the geniuses of the enemy country led by you. Although this is merely a Divine Fire Avatar of mine, it should suffice to kill you!"
