In front of his eyes, Qin Jun found himself in a mysterious space. Under his feet was a huge Go board, and above his head was a sun-like light, dispelling the darkness. Other than that, there was nothing else in this space.
"Where is this place..."
Qin Jun muttered to himself. The first thing that came to his mind was a different dimension space, or perhaps a world from a novel.
As he looked around, a figure resembling a white eagle suddenly appeared ten meters ahead. It held two swords, and the aura of a third-level Golden Core realm completely erupted, causing Qin Jun's pupils to shrink.
The white eagle figure charged directly at Qin Jun, its sharp swords reflecting dazzling light in the dim space, startling Qin Jun into quickly taking out the Silver Dragon Soul-Slaying Spear. Without dodging, he directly struck with the spear.
One force to subdue ten!
With a loud bang!
The white eagle figure's swords were directly smashed, and its body was shattered into pieces!
Instant kill!
Qin Jun shouldered the Silver Dragon Soul-Slaying Spear, muttering to himself, "I knew you'd charge straight at me, do you have no brains?"
"Received a one-star rating!"
Just then, a cold and emotionless voice sounded, causing Qin Jun to change color. Damn, he was already rated one star without even understanding what was going on?
If this got out, it would be embarrassing!
In his extreme despair, two figures appeared in front of him, one black and one white, both statues with identical structures but different weapons. The black eagle figure held a large knife, while the white eagle figure held a red-tasseled spear, both with the cultivation of the third-level Golden Core realm.
Qin Jun's eyes lit up, and his mind instantly became active.
Could it be that defeating an opponent of the same realm would earn a one-star rating, and defeating two would earn a two-star rating?
If that's the case, it's no wonder that very few people make it to four or five stars.
This wasn't a one-on-one fight, and there were no obstacles around. If surrounded and attacked by four or five opponents of the same realm, most cultivators would lose.
"Come on!"
Qin Jun's fighting spirit surged, and he also wanted to see how many stars he could earn.
Without him reminding them, the two statue figures charged at him. Their speed was extremely fast, and they each raised their weapons to strike at Qin Jun, intending to cut off his head.
"Man and machine are just man and machine, without any tacit understanding!"
Qin Jun sneered, raising his spear to meet them head-on. The Silver Dragon Soul-Slaying Spear, which was over three meters long, had a longer attack range than the white eagle figure's spear, directly keeping the two statue figures at bay and preventing them from getting close.
Because this time it was two statue figures constantly attacking, it was very difficult for Qin Jun to gather enough strength to instantly kill one, as one plus one sometimes isn't just two.
The black eagle figure's large knife was powerful and heavy, while the white eagle figure's red-tasseled spear was swift and cunning. Although they didn't have any tacit understanding, their joint attack made it difficult for Qin Jun to deal with them in a short time.
Qin Jun swept the Silver Dragon Soul-Slaying Spear with one hand, using his immense strength to lift the two statue figures into the air.
Under the dual training of the Indestructible Holy Body and the Primordial Breathing Method, his strength had been increasing day by day. He had even tried to move Li Yuanba's Golden Peng Divine Hammer and could barely lift it.
In other words, he now had the strength of ten thousand catties!
This kind of strength could even tear a person in half with bare hands. Most cultivators at the Golden Core realm did not have such strength.
There are thousands of ways to cultivate immortality, and most of them focus on internal cultivation of qi. The increase in strength is not very significant, so among cultivators of the same realm, those who focus on physical cultivation often have stronger combat power. Spiritual cultivators rely on spiritual power, and once it is exhausted, they are done for. Physical cultivators, on the other hand, can also engage in close combat even when their spiritual power is depleted.
There are even some physical cultivators with more spiritual power than spiritual cultivators. Of course, the path of physical cultivation is more than ten times more difficult than that of spiritual cultivation.
Qin Jun wanted to cultivate both body and qi. Just look at the great gods in Journey to the West, such as Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen. Erlang Shen's Eight or Nine Profound Art is actually the Seventy-Two Transformations. Both of them have extremely strong bodies, especially Sun Wukong, who is truly indestructible. Another typical cultivator who cultivates both body and qi is Nezha, with superb magical abilities and the ability to grow three heads and six arms, a physical cultivation technique.
Boom!
The white eagle figure suddenly erupted with a powerful spiritual power, and its speed increased significantly, like a flash of lightning, stabbing towards Qin Jun who had just dodged.
Qin Jun remained calm, activating the ability to foresee the future, allowing him to predict the next few seconds of the white eagle figure's attack trajectory.
It must be said that the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Constellations are indeed powerful and highly practical, breaking Qin Jun's old-fashioned impression that the Thirty-Six Transformations were not as good as the Seventy-Two Transformations. After all, he had not carefully studied Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods in his previous life. He was just an ordinary office worker, and he didn't have the time for such things. Because Zhu Bajie in Journey to the West was not as good as Sun Wukong, he thought that the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Constellations were not as good as the Seventy-Two Transformations.
But with the use of the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Constellations, he had completely mastered thirty-six kinds of magical spells. Especially after breaking through the Golden Core realm, it was not as difficult as before, and he increasingly felt that the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Constellations were very powerful and abnormal.
Relying on the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Constellations, Qin Jun was confident in the Golden Core realm. Of course, if he were to fight against someone in the Mortal Shedding realm, it would still be impossible, after all, his basic cultivation and realm were there.
Marshal Tianpeng also knows the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Constellations, but he hasn't been seen as invincible. Qin Jun's Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Constellations were derived from the memories of Marshal Tianpeng, so he had less time to comprehend them.
Thud!
Qin Jun easily dodged the white eagle figure's attack, and then pierced its chest with a spear, causing stones to fly. He rubbed his hands together, and the Silver Dragon Soul-Slaying Spear spun rapidly, grinding the white eagle figure into pieces, ending it.
"It's just you left!"
Lord Qin looked at the black eagle statue standing on the chessboard and chuckled lightly. Then he flew down and raised the Silver Dragon Slaying Spear high above his head with both hands.
Surprisingly, the black eagle statue did not dodge, but instead came at Lord Qin head-on.
It's just a computer opponent!
And it's just a beginner-level computer opponent!
With a loud bang!
As expected, under Lord Qin's dominance, the black eagle statue and its big knife were smashed to pieces. The hardness of the heavenly-grade magical weapon is unimaginable for ordinary people.
"Obtained a two-star rating!"
Awesome!
Lord Qin let out a wild howl, anyway, there's no one else here.
At the same time, three more statues appeared out of thin air on the chessboard, all of them at the third level of the Golden Core Realm.
Little did he know, his performance was being observed by others.
In a mysterious palace, a group of people in black robes stood in a row. In front of them was a transparent sphere the size of a basketball, inside of which a blue flame was burning. At this moment, the transparent sphere was projecting the scene of Lord Qin's battle.
"This young man not only has been assessed with an eight-star aptitude, but also has extremely rich combat experience. He should be able to obtain a six-star rating in the assessment!" A person in a black robe chuckled lightly, revealing a fair and handsome face under the hat, with sharp features and eyes that seemed to contain boundless starry sky, profound and unfathomable.
"Well, there aren't many participants judged to have an eight-star aptitude by the assessment envoys of various state governments," agreed an elderly man beside him.
