Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along

Chapter 61: Sending the Talented on Their Way


Five minutes later, the light screen disappeared as promised.

One hundred and eighteen martial dao students from the provincial exam immediately found themselves exposed to the environment of the Profound Realm. A Silver Moon Wolf, which had just passed by on a nearby coastal road, quickly detected the fluctuations of human presence.

The Wolf King turned to look at the crowd.

The entire team instantly had their hackles raised, baring their teeth, cold glints in their eyes.

The imagined scenario of the Silver Moon Wolf King charging headlong at them upon discovering their presence didn't happen. Instead, it led the wolf pack and slowly disappeared from their sight.

In this simulated realistic environment, the personality traits of the Silver Moon Wolf and various Great Demons are exactly the same as in reality.

Although Alien Demon Beasts see humans as food and their number one enemy, they don't attack humans at first sight, especially when a large number of powerful humans are present. The fluctuation of their auras can intimidate powerful alien creatures, causing them to retreat.

"Swoosh!"

Of course, no one forgot their purpose for entering the Profound Realm plane.

As the wolf pack retreated, everyone rushed towards the city center.

According to the rules of the advancement competition, the first thirty to reach the city center and arrive at the rooftop of Jiangbei Mansion automatically advance and can participate in the next round.

With a total of one hundred and eighteen participants, more than eighty will be eliminated in the first round, making the competition fierce indeed.

No one dared to be complacent; they all exerted their utmost abilities, heading towards Jiangbei Mansion in the city center.

Jiangbei Mansion, a building over three hundred stories tall, towers nearly a thousand meters and is the tallest building in the city center.

Standing by the sea and looking towards the city center, one can vaguely see the faint silhouette of Jiangbei Mansion.

"Boom!"

Several Muscle Phase experts propelled themselves forward along the way.

To be among the top three in the provincial exam not only means receiving Divine Vein Liquid subsidy and awakening advanced Bloodline Power, but it also comes without any side effects and provides a chance to represent Jiangbei Province in the national exam.

The national exam, hosted by the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance, is the most prestigious event in people's eyes, even though it is only a basic event.

Participating in the national exam invariably means one's life will undergo earth-shaking changes, and even some scions of noble families do not want to miss this rare opportunity.

"Jiangbei Mansion, standing at three hundred and seventy-six stories, is the Wolf King's base camp. Setting the end point there clearly aims to have everyone engage in a bloody battle with the Silver Moon Wolf King.

Those who rush over first will only meet with misfortune."

Among the crowd appeared a lazy figure; it was none other than Zhang Lingfeng.

Everyone had a copy of the investigation report on Jiangbei Mansion.

Everyone knows it is the Wolf King's base camp, but everyone wants to be the first to reach it, because each has enough confidence to fight their way from the wolf pack to the top floor of Jiangbei Mansion.

Zhang Lingfeng has this confidence as well, as the Silver Moon Wolf King's Combat Power is generally below the Muscle Realm, and those reaching the Bone Realm level are rarely encountered in reality.

Even if there's a Bone Realm-level Silver Moon Wolf King in Jiangbei Mansion, it's those who arrive first who will suffer, so Zhang Lingfeng proceeds unhurriedly.

In the first and second rounds, he doesn't need to seize first place.

He just needs to make it to the finals and get into the top three.

So, Zhang Lingfeng leisurely made his way towards the city center, occasionally leaping ahead but not often, strolling and observing, gathering strength, treating this assessment as an outdoor excursion.

"Roar!"

Along the way, he encountered several packs of Silver Moon Wolves.

If he could shake them off, he would; if not, he would slay them.

But with someone paving the way ahead, Zhang Lingfeng didn't encounter many wolves. Of course, as a lone candidate, there were always some oblivious Silver Moon Wolves that suddenly burst out from neighboring buildings to ambush him.

The result, naturally, was them being slayed by a strike of Zhang Lingfeng's long spear.

"The view here is really nice!"

"Oh, there used to be an amusement park down there, a water park, but now it has become a nest for alien creatures."

"This was once a commercial street."

"This shop used to be a bun shop."

"I didn't expect that in the Profound Realm there are still people selling pork knuckle rice. What a pity, the people here have all disappeared."

Zhang Lingfeng walked and paused along the way, carefully noting everything around him, deeply sighing. Due to the alien invasion, the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance resulted in over a thousand billion people missing and several thousand billion deaths.

Humans lost nearly two-thirds of their territory.

Environments like the Profound Realm, completely occupied by aliens and unfit for human survival, are almost everywhere in the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance. Every province, country, and planet bears countless such scars.

Zhang Lingfeng was full of emotion, as everything here seemed even more bustling compared to the most prosperous cities of his previous life.

"Roar!"

Just then, a mutated porcupine rushed out from an abandoned shop, its massive body charging directly at Zhang Lingfeng.

The force was at least ten thousand catties.

Zhang Lingfeng flicked his long spear, borrowing force to hurl the porcupine into another shop. Despite its thick skin, it managed to stand and charge again.

But before it could emerge from the shop, Zhang Lingfeng used his spear to strike a stone.

The stone, driven by the power of the four-layer Dharma Aspect, cut through the air with a sharp whistling, almost sparking fire, piercing directly through the porcupine's forehead.

The porcupine fell on the spot.

"With so many people ahead, it insists on hiding inside to ambush me—really!"
