Chapter 284 Pressure

Throughout the night, some people were already in sweet dreams, but some were still in fierce physical confrontations.

Just like Gu Yizhen, at this time he also officially took his last step, the last step to try to break through to the level of a third-level warrior.

For most people, becoming a third-level warrior is an unattainable level. Take the Yuhua Martial Arts School where Zhang Chaoqiang is studying as an example.

A third-level warrior is already able to serve as their teacher, while his homeroom teacher, Mr. Jinjia, is at the fourth-level warrior stage.

However, the martial arts status of most other subject teachers is generally within the ability range of the third level, and Gu Yizhen broke through to the third level this time.

This means that he has reached the third-level warrior level, which is currently reached by people in the Central Country at an average age of about 30.

This is a breakthrough that spans the entire Central Country's 10-year age gap.

In other words, the third level that a warrior may only be able to reach when he is 30 years old was achieved by Gu Yizhen when he was less than 20 years old.

When he thought about this happening, Gu Yizheng became a little impatient and excited. He even compared himself with Zhang Chaoqiang as a potential motivation.
This will increase one's confidence, leading to even greater motivation and self-confidence to make a breakthrough as a third-level warrior.

With many resources nourishing his body, and many doctors specially preparing medicines for him to replenish his spiritual power.

As well as those elixirs that can maintain the balance of physical cultivation and avoid going astray.

As Lei She's disciple and an important member of the research institute, Gu Yizhen has never lacked for cultivation resources over the years.

In participating in this Central Country Synthesis Competition, there were only two items that he valued most.

The first is the opportunity to enter the brain-amplifying space. After all, even in the national martial arts competitions, he has never achieved a good result of top 8 in history.

If he could successfully reach the state of a third-level warrior this time, then let alone the top 8, even if it was the top 5, Gu Yizhen would have some confidence and opportunity.

In addition to the rewards for the top 8 in this synthesis competition, there is also the entry into the Central Country’s treasury.

The opportunity to enter the treasury as the first place winner was an honor that no one, not even Gu Yizhen, had ever gotten, let alone others.

It is a great honor to be able to enter the treasury belonging to the Central Kingdom.

But at this moment, it is absolutely impossible for him to reach this level. Even if he is the number one in martial arts, he probably won't be able to get this honor.

However, this Central Country Synthesis Competition is the first one held in Central Country. As a national competition held by synthesis, it definitely needs some gimmicks to attract participants.

It is because of this reward that the contestants will appear in the synthesis competition for the first time.

Therefore, what interests Gu Yizhen the most is the reward for the first place and the secret realm of cultivation that the top 8 can enter.

The brain-type amplification space of the Central Kingdom.

Others include dragon crystal cores, cultivation resources, cutting-edge armor, etc.

These are not what Gu Yizhen values ​​most, because he has no shortage of these things.

As an important member of the research institute, what he lacks the least is these so-called armors.

Armor or any kind of cultivation resources, just like those of the ancient bloodline level Jiaolong Jinhe. Even if he does not have the monitored crystal cores, he also has the crystal cores of other ancient bloodline level monsters.

This is his foundation, and it is also the foundation of scientific researchers such as Lei She.

However, it is not so easy to absorb the crystal core of the monster of the ancient bloodline level. The physical conditions of the warriors who absorb it are very strict and demanding.

It can be described as tricky, because the crystal core of a monster of ancient bloodline level may not be a treasure but a huge killing weapon for the absorber.

Because if you want to absorb the ancient level crystal core, you have to face the pressure left on the crystal cores of the monsters.

This pressure comes from the murderous aura and resentment contained in the monsters of ancient bloodline level when they were alive.

They contain the residual spiritual power and resentment of those monsters. When warriors try to absorb the crystal cores of those monsters of ancient bloodline level, they will be corroded and tested by this resentment.

Only warriors who have truly passed the test can truly absorb the crystal core, but this is only the first step!
The first step is absorption, and first of all, you need to absorb the crystal core of the ancient monster.

The spiritual power and various abilities of the ancient bloodline-level monsters can be absorbed into one's own body, giving it the same elemental attributes as other elements.

This process of replenishing one's own body is the most basic and is only limited to the first step.

The first step is just like absorbing the crystal core in normal habits.

The second step is the key point.

Because the first step is just absorption, it doesn’t have any other significant effects.

The second step is that during the absorption process, it also needs to face and resist the erosion of its own body by the ancient level monster crystal cores at the same time.

Because the crystal cores of those monsters have basically produced some spiritual plants, and with their abilities, ordinary warriors have no way of absorbing those crystal cores.

Therefore, in the process of absorption, they will inevitably have to face the spiritual pressure and corrosive ability of those monsters that originally belonged to them and left over from the crystal cores.

If you are not careful, this terrifying force may cause great interference and threat to your body.

To put it in a positive way, it would just fail in the absorption process, but to think about it in a more negative way, those powers would have a negative impact on the abilities and body structure of the warriors...

All have a certain degree of destructive effect.

The destructive effects, their strength and circumstances were far beyond the imagination of any warrior.

Only by completely going through this stage can you possibly absorb the crystal core completely into your body.

This stage is undoubtedly very dangerous and poses a huge threat to the body.

Of course, the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

Once they successfully absorbed it, the spiritual power brought to them by the monster crystal cores was not completely eliminated from their bodies within a short period of time.

Over a period of time, they were able to use the spiritual power and special properties of the ancient bloodline monster cores. This was just one of the magical uses of the monster cores for them. In this regard, as a consumable for humans, the possibility of the monster cores being able to derive martial arts was becoming less and less.

Even if one possesses a monster crystal core of ancient bloodline level, ordinary warriors will not be able to absorb it in the first step.

Not to mention seeking martial arts that can derive ancient bloodline level within one's own body after absorbing it.

Under the temptation of the ancient bloodline level, many people tried their best and only obtained one ancient level monster crystal core in their lifetime.

However, for them to absorb it and transform it into their own strength and try to derive martial arts from it is actually very difficult, even as difficult as climbing to the sky.

There are countless such cases in the records of the Central Kingdom.

And among all the warriors in the current Central Kingdom, there are warriors who can possess ancient bloodline level martial arts.

The lowest level of attainment in martial arts is as high as the sixth level of strength, and these can be derived from the crystal cores of ancient monsters.

Without any exception, these warriors are all outstanding.

Among those people, it is actually not very difficult to absorb the crystal cores of monsters of ancient bloodline level, because they usually possess extraordinary personal strength and solid foundation.

The most important thing is that each of them is basically above the level of a sixth-level warrior.

Therefore, absorbing the crystal core of a monster of ancient bloodline level involves a lot of difficulties and explanations.

A very crucial point is that in the crystal core of the monster beast of the ancient bloodline level, it is not only necessary to have the ability to absorb the crystal core of this monster beast.

And what you absolutely need is the ability to derive martial arts from it.

Even those warriors who are at the sixth-level warrior state do not know how many ancient bloodline-level monster crystal cores they have absorbed before they can finally derive martial arts of the ancient bloodline level.

They were able to achieve this achievement by piling up countless crystal cores.

In fact, the crystal cores of monsters of ancient bloodline level are scarce resources in some families with profound cultural heritage, but they are not stingy with the geniuses in the families.

However, those geniuses hardly have the ability to derive martial arts from the crystal cores of ancient bloodline-level monsters from their own bodies.

Even absorption becomes difficult.

Not to mention Gu Yizhen who is at the peak of the second level.

Not to mention that he could derive his own ancient bloodline-level martial arts from the ancient bloodline-level monster crystal core.

Even absorbing this monster crystal core of ancient bloodline level is extremely difficult.

There is simply no way to do it.

I'm afraid that the slightest bit of spiritual power pressure inside would be enough to crush his body into pieces.

So as far as those rewards are concerned, Gu Yizhen did not attach much importance to the dragon crystal core, which was an ancient bloodline-level monster crystal core that the top three could possess.

Of course, if martial arts could be derived from it, the Jiaolong would be the most outstanding among the monsters of the ancient bloodline level.

The derived martial arts can also bring huge improvements to a warrior.

Compared to other ordinary crystal cores of ancient bloodline-level monsters, the crystal core of the dragon can better demonstrate the power and spirit of an ancient-level monster.

Generally speaking, even if an excellent warrior obtains a monster crystal core of ancient bloodline level, they will not absorb it immediately.

Instead, he will choose to absorb it for the first time after he has reached the sixth level of martial arts.

They need to minimize the difficulty and maximize the benefits.

Compared with an ordinary warrior, a warrior who possesses ancient bloodline martial arts derived from the crystal core of an ancient bloodline monster is of course only the warrior who possesses ancient bloodline martial arts has the advantage.

This kind of advantage, which is often like a huge gap, can often directly determine the outcome of a game, just like Zhang Chaoqiang.

The mechanistic abilities he obtained were far superior to the ancient-level martial arts and had reached the level of divine beasts. Possessing any one of those mechanistic abilities would completely override the rules and would not be restricted by the norm.

Therefore, compared to those so-called ancient martial arts, their abilities are definitely one level higher, and the abilities obtained by Zhang Chaoqiang are definitely enough to change the normal rules and situations.

Even crossing levels is easy, not to mention being invincible in front of so-called peers.

However, there is no comparison between the two, because having mechanical abilities means that one needs to absorb a strange beast.

The number of exotic beasts is extremely small compared to the monsters of ancient bloodline level. Therefore, it is likely that the number of people with mechanical abilities in the entire earth will not exceed a few hundred.

At present, there are quite a few warriors who possess ancient bloodline-level martial arts.

Basically, as long as the family of warriors above level six has a certain background or ability, and can accept the expensive price of the crystal core of ancient bloodline-level monster beasts, they will basically empty their wealth and property.

Try to derive your own martial arts, your own ancient bloodline martial arts, from the crystal core of the ancient bloodline level monster beast.

Of course, this environment is also under absorption conditions.

Of course, there are only a few people who can finally succeed, but among these few people, basically all become the best among warriors of the same level and the top among their peers.

Therefore, input and output are completely proportional, and sometimes if one has strong ability, input and output are far from a 1:1 positive ratio, but the output is far greater than the input.

During the whole night, although Gu Yizheng had never set his mind on the crystal cores of monsters with ancient bloodlines, he was still interested in the crystal cores of monsters with rare bloodlines...

He needed this monster crystal core to replenish his body's spiritual power, and this spiritual power replenishment would make him more confident and smoothly increase his spiritual power and his own state in the process of breaking through his third-level martial arts level.

Finally, after a whole night of adjustment, Gu Yizhen was very glad that he could successfully break through to the third level.

In a blink of an eye, it was already 8 o'clock in the morning of the next day. Zhang Chaoqiang and others arrived at the venue of the synthesis competition early in the morning. (End of this chapter)
