The Extreme Martial Arts School's definition of a strong person was different from what most survivors and hunters knew.
For most people, the Fifth Awakening Stage was already a strong person. They could kill their way through a group of weak demonic beasts and destroy a tall building. For a Fifth Awakening Stage hunter, a person like him was a strong person.
However, in the Extreme Martial Arts School's definition, there were two aspects to a strong person.
One was the awakening level, and the other was the combat power increase.
The mustache man could barely reach the level. However, the combat power was based on the demonic beast. The Extreme Martial Arts School required the apprentices to have the ability to kill at least one level higher and ensure that they wouldn't be injured in the process.
In the face of a Seventh Awakening Stage demonic beast, the mustache man had to pay the price with minor injuries. If he fought against an Eighth Awakening Stage demonic beast, the best result was to perish together.
He could only do this after learning the cultivation method and had a D3 level armor and a C1 level weapon. The Extreme Martial Arts School's combat power increase assessment was said to only be able to use ordinary weapons (enough to break the demonic beast's defense, but not easy) and the most common E-level armor.
The apprentices of the martial arts school had a high probability of becoming strong in the future. On the one hand, the apprentice's own qualifications were not bad. On the other hand, the martial arts school's resources and several instructors were the most important.
In order to send his nephew to the Extreme Martial Arts School, the mustache man knew about the four instructors.
The mustache man couldn't tell who was strong or weak. However, in terms of teaching, as far as he knew, Master Luo, Chief Instructor Luo was the best at teaching. Many of the original patrol team's strong members were trained by Chief Instructor Luo.
The mustache man sighed, "It would be great if Leader Tang also taught in the Martial Arts School. With his strength and vision, if he really accepted an apprentice, I'm afraid it wouldn't take long for that apprentice to step into the realm of the strong."
…
…
Tang Yu, who was unanimously considered the strongest person by the outside world, the Master of God's Punishment, a legendary master, was staying in a training room, looking up at the monotonous ceiling.
He had been stuck in the Ninth Awakening Stage, the peak of the Body Shaping Realm for more than a month.
From the sixth layer to the ninth layer, one's muscles, bones, and skin were tempered externally, while the five viscera and six bowels were tempered internally. Every increase in one's vitality level would bring about a significant leap in one's body's strength.
At the Eighth or Ninth Stage, the lethality of ordinary firearms was no longer a threat to the hunters. A small-caliber pistol would even bounce off the skin without leaving a trace.
With the reaction and speed of an Eighth or Ninth Stage Awakened, it was practically impossible for bullets to hit them. However, with a tyrannical physique, even in the face of a hail of bullets that blocked all escape routes, a Body Shaping Realm expert could still withstand it.
Tang Yu wasn't someone with an empty rank. With the Demon Swordsman's cultivation method, supplemented by the Body Hardening Liquid and other potions, he had unearthed his own potential. His physique was many times stronger than a powerhouse of the same rank.
However …
"Even if I'm invincible at the same level, it's useless if I can't break through!"
His followers had also encountered this bottleneck when they were at the peak of the ninth layer, but it didn't take long for them to break through.
Roger was at the peak of the Body Shaping Realm before he was injured. After recovering from his injury and improving his aptitude by another level, he also successfully broke through this bottleneck. Now, he has reached the Eleventh Awakening Stage.
Sky, Shay, Protoss, Moon and Star, the Carmen brothers, Lorraine, Oguri, and the few B-rank aptitude followers who were summoned later, their cultivation progress was similar to Roger's.
Fanny, Gray Blade, and Gretel, the three A-rank aptitude followers already had the strength of the Twelfth Awakening Stage, the peak of the Condensing Origin Realm. One more step and they would reach the peak of the Thirteenth Awakening Stage … The Thirteenth Awakening Stage was already qualified to touch the extraordinary. They needed to accumulate energy and adjust their state to break through the bottleneck that blocked the path of life level transition.
Once passed, they would be like a carp leaping through the dragon gate, extraordinary and refined.
Blood Moon, Tyron, and Winnie were at the Thirteenth Awakening Stage, the stage of accumulating energy.
Blood Moon and Tyron were both A-rank aptitude. When they were summoned, their strength was already very strong. As for Winnie, although her aptitude was slightly worse, she happened to get a Holy Light Sage's Inheritance Crystal when the market refreshed.
It was an advanced profession that focused on healing, support, and light output.
Winnie, who had received the inheritance of the profession, her cultivation speed was significantly faster. The bottleneck of the peak of the Body Shaping Realm didn't even get stuck for a moment.
It was the same for Elaine.
As the strongest person in the territory, she had stepped into the Thirteenth Awakening Stage more than a month ago.
"I'm also someone who inherited the advanced profession. Why is it different?!"
Tang Yu shook his head slightly.
After Elaine entered the Thirteenth Awakening Stage, it took her more than half a month to finally reach the peak and began to break through the Transcendent Realm bottleneck.
At that time, he thought that if Elaine could break through, the territory would have a true Transcendent powerhouse. Even if more disaster-level demonic beasts attacked in the future, he wouldn't be afraid.
Unfortunately …
It wasn't that she failed to break through the Transcendent Realm, but after Elaine's breakthrough, she discovered that the Transcendent Realm bottleneck wasn't something that could be easily broken through.
It took time. Every time she accumulated energy, the bottleneck would loosen a little. Only when the bottleneck loosened to a certain extent could she try to break through.
According to Elaine's own estimation, it would take at least two or three months, up to half a year to grind the bottleneck loose enough. As for when she could break through to the Transcendent Realm …
This was something that could not be predicted.
"At present, there's still too little information about the Transcendent Realm. Kevin, Gretel, and the others who have been in contact with the Transcendent Realm only had a brief contact or saw the battle between the Transcendent Realm from a distance."
None of them had an in-depth understanding.
The gap between them and the Transcendent Realm was too big. Although the followers' strength improved quickly, they were close to the Transcendent Realm in a few months. But Roger once said that even if they didn't count the improvement brought by refining the spirit power, their cultivation speed on Earth was more than ten times faster than they used to be.
The concentration of the source qi on Earth continued to rise.
Even Kevin, as an equipment crafting master, was only qualified to talk to the Transcendent Realm powerhouses.
How to break through the Transcendent Realm? What's the mystery of the Transcendent Realm? Tang Yu could only make a simple understanding from the dozens of Rune Books on the market.
"Forget it. The Transcendent Realm is too far for me. Instead of thinking about it, it's better to break through to the Tenth Awakening Stage as soon as possible. If I can't keep up with Elaine and the others, it'll be a bit shameful if the hunters of the two corps and the apprentices of the martial arts school catch up."
The original patrol team was now officially changed to the Garrison Corps responsible for guarding the territory, and the Survey Corps responsible for exploring the outside world. Both corps had a formation of 300 people, a total of 600 hunters.
Each of them had the strength of the Fifth Awakening Stage. Among them, there were a total of 53 people who could be called the Big Boss.
Of course, these members of the two corps never dared to think of themselves as the Big Boss. But the strongest person in the Survey Corps had broken through to the Eighth Awakening Stage. The original patrol team's symbolic significance was greater than the actual significance. But now, the two corps had played a role, enough to serve as the backbone of the martial arts school.
Although the number of core apprentices in the Extreme Martial Arts School was small, including Tree Shade and Luoxia, all the core apprentices added up to less than 30 people. Half of them had broken through to the Body Shaping Realm, and the strongest was the Seventh Awakening Stage.
They were weaker than the corps' hunters because when the apprentices first joined the martial arts school, they were often newly awakened. On the surface, anyone could participate in the core apprentice assessment. But in fact, most of those who could pass the assessment had a clean background and were relatively young. These people were malleable, and their own talent was not bad.
Adventurer hunters, social hunters, almost no one could pass.
The strength of the martial arts school apprentices improved faster, and they also respected him as the strongest person in the shelter.
