Yi Yun came to the metal box and picked up a Primal Arrow. When he touched the arrow shaft, the cold touch made his heart palpitate.
His two legs firmly planted on the ground. His left hand was in front and his right hand was behind. His right elbow was pressed tightly against the shaft of the Primal Arrow. He did not choose to use his shoulder to carry the Primal Arrow. Instead, he really planned on using his two hands to lift this thick divine arrow!
Baldy Qin was right. A spear had to stab, how could he stab while holding it up?
"This kid!" Zhou Kui could tell what Yi Yun was planning.
Lifting the Primal Arrow was much more difficult than carrying it!
Taking a deep breath, Yi Yun's eyes flashed. He used his legs to support his waist, and through his spine, he transferred his strength to his shoulders and hands. All his strength exploded at this moment.
Up!
Yi Yun's muscles bulged and his veins twisted. The Primal Arrow in his hand was suddenly lifted up by him!
It was indeed ridiculously heavy!
Yi Yun could clearly feel the terrifying weight of the Primal Arrow. It pulled at his arm muscles, and it felt like they were about to break.
It was not without reason that the Xuanwu Army members had to break their halberds when they lifted the Primal Arrow.
"This kid really lifted it up!"
When the Xuanwu Army members saw this scene, their eyelids twitched.
But lifting the Primal Arrow was only the first step. What was truly difficult was inserting the divine arrow into the purple tungsten wall.
Yi Yun grabbed the Primal Arrow and slid his arm forward, all the way to the center of the Primal Arrow!
Everyone could see that Yi Yun's arm was trembling. This was because his muscles could not withstand the immense pressure of the Primal Arrow, so they were protesting.
This proved that Yi Yun was already at his limit.
If it was a month ago, it would have been impossible for Yi Yun to lift the Primal Arrow.
But now …
In Yi Yun's Dantian, his blood energy was slowly circulating. This was the primordial species' Primal energy!
The primordial species' energy was extremely pure. It merged with Yi Yun's blood. It could allow Yi Yun to be reborn and cleanse his marrow!
The primordial species' energy had given Yi Yun strength from the moment he frog-jumped. It slowly melted into Yi Yun's flesh and blood.
"Brother Yi, all the best!"
"Yi Yun, go!"
The Jin Long Wei members clenched their fists and cheered for Yi Yun!
Yi Yun locked onto the purple tungsten wall. Gritting his teeth, he charged forward!
Every step he took caused the special tiles on the ground to tremble violently. The Primal Arrow in Yi Yun's hand suddenly sped up.
His hands suddenly pushed forward!
Clang!
With a loud boom, the Primal Arrow slammed heavily into the purple tungsten wall. The huge rebound caused Yi Yun's purlicue to tear as his blood surged!
So hard!
The purple tungsten wall was terrifyingly hard.
Primal Arrow. However, it only managed to break through a depth of half a foot. This depth was definitely not enough for the Primal Arrow to remain on the purple tungsten wall.
As long as he let go, the Primal Arrow would fall!
Veins popped out on Yi Yun's forehead. He gritted his teeth and took a few steps back. Exerting strength with both hands, he suddenly sent out the Primal Arrow!
Clang!
With the second impact, Yi Yun seemed to hear the sound of his muscles tearing.
Not far away, the crowd watched with trepidation. Yi Yun had used the Primal Arrow to stab twice.
But both times, he failed!
The second impact was not as strong as the first, although it deepened the depth of the impact. But it was not even a foot deep.
And at this moment, Yi Yun's muscles and tendons were all strained. He could not continue!
"Dang!"
The Primal Arrow fell to the ground.
Yi Yun's arms were trembling gently.
Training strength was not something that could be done in a day. Although Yi Yun had absorbed the primordial species' energy in the Wilderness Divine Hall, compared to those who had been training for a long time and had their bodies cleansed with herbs from a young age, Yi Yun was still lacking.
Especially for peerless geniuses like Lin Xintong, the gap was even greater.
Yi Yun needed time to catch up!
"Weak!"
Baldy Qin's evaluation was only one word!
This word was an evaluation of every one of the hundred people. Of course, it included Yi Yun.
Yi Yun was silent. He knew that his performance in strength was only considered average.
In terms of movement techniques, he still had Minute Subtlety. But in terms of strength, he did not have any trump cards. Just by training with the Flowing Mercury Gown, what reason did he have to be stronger than those geniuses?
The atmosphere was somewhat depressing. After a long period of silence, Baldy Qin said, "Many years ago, when I was about the same age as you, I came to the Tai Ah Divine City. My first training was also this, and back then … I did not even manage to stab a single Primal Arrow!"
Baldy Qin's words made many youths look up at the bald middle-aged man.
His figure was thin, and there was a scar on his face. Compared to usual, his expression was a bit less vicious, and there was a bit more nostalgia and tenderness.
Instructor Qin was also a Tai Ah Divine City cultivator back then?
Baldy Qin carried on, "My results made me feel discouraged, especially when I saw the record of stab a Primal Arrow on Sage Avenue."
"I wonder if any of you noticed?"
There were too many stone tablets on Sage Avenue. As the crowd walked, they did not manage to see all of them. They shook their heads.
Baldy Qin said, "There is a special record for stabbing a Primal Arrow into the purple tungsten wall. There are three requirements for this record. One is that the cultivator who left the record must be fifteen years old or below. The second requirement is that the person's cultivation level must be below the Yuan foundation realm. The third requirement is that the Primal Arrow can only be inserted within fifteen minutes. Back then … the person who left the record had inserted a total of 109 Primal Arrows into the purple tungsten wall! "
109!?
When the crowd heard this, they gasped. This number was too exaggerated!
All of them could feel the heavy pressure!
From Baldy Qin's description, the person who inserted 109 Primal Arrows was at the peak of the Purple Blood realm.
This cultivation level was higher than them, but not by much.
Many of them couldn't even lift up the Primal Arrows, much less stab them in. But this person had actually stabbed 109 of them!!
The difference was too great.
Yi Yun looked at the dense marks on the purple tungsten wall and asked, "Instructor, I want to ask, how old was the person who left the record?"
The exaggerated number of 109 was equally shocking to Yi Yun.
"At that time … he had just reached 14 years old. Although the requirement to break the record can be raised to 15 years old, many geniuses have already broken through to the Yuan foundation realm before the age of 15. The age limit of 15 years old is prepared for some geniuses who started cultivating later …"
Fourteen years old …
Peak of Purple Blood, fourteen years old!
Yi Yun was almost thirteen years old. His cultivation level was at the early stages of Purple Blood. He still had a year to work towards this goal …
Baldy Qin said, "Now, that record has been kept for three thousand years. It's still 109 arrows. In these three thousand years, the closest person to the record was only 105 arrows. And the person who left the record eventually became a sage … "
"Do you know what a sage is?"
Upon mentioning a sage, Baldy Qin revealed a look of reverence.
"Sages are the elites of the human race. In the Tai Ah Divine City, by becoming a sage, one can choose to stay in the Divine City as an Elder! A Tai Ah Elder has a certain amount of authority over the Tai Ah Divine City's resources. They can live above the 90th floor of the central divine tower. There are many benefits! "
"The number of Tai Ah Elders can be counted on one hand. In history, the Tai Ah Divine City did not have more than ten Elders at its peak."
"And in the entire Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, including the royal family and the reclusive family clans, the number of sages will naturally increase, but it won't be too much. A sage's lifespan can reach more than ten thousand years. In the entire Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, there might not even be a single sage every five hundred years! "
"But how many rookies can the Tai Ah Divine City accommodate each year?"
"You should know the numbers. It's 2000 a year, with one batch every six years. Usually, the Tai Ah Divine City maintains the number of young elites trained at more than 12,000 people."
"The Tai Ah Divine City is made of iron, and the cultivators are like flowing water! 12,000 people in six years. 120,000 people in 60 years. What about 500 years? That's more than a million people! "
"And these people are the elites chosen from all over the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom! Out of more than a million elites, there might not even be one sage! What's the concept of this probability? "
"People often say that someone has peerless talent and is a young sage! When evaluating geniuses, there are the so-called Mystic-ranked human lord, Earth-ranked sage, Heaven-ranked Great Emperor … "
"But in fact, geniuses who are called young sages have a pitiful probability of becoming a sage. As for those young elites who are evaluated as Earth-ranked sage geniuses, they only have a chance of becoming a sage. But can they really do it?"
"Difficult!"
Baldy Qin's words caused all the young elites present to be secretly speechless.
A sage that appears once every five hundred years, a million Tai Ah Divine City elites might not even be able to produce one …
Qin Haotian was currently ranked first on the Heaven and Earth rolls of honor in the Tai Ah Divine City. He was hailed as a young sage. Even for him, the probability of him becoming a sage was less than 1% …
The atmosphere in the area became silent for a moment. Baldy Qin wasn't afraid of pouring cold water on these people. If their hearts towards martial arts were to be extinguished by a bucket of cold water, then they were fated to not be able to practice martial arts.
Yi Yun pondered over Baldy Qin's words. Back in the Cloud Wilderness' Tao tribal clan, Yi Yun was evaluated to be a Mystic rank grade five!
That was the human lord level. As for people like Lian Chengyu and Tao Yunxiao, they were only at the Yellow rank, which was the human elite level.
People who were evaluated as sage-ranked geniuses might not become sages. He was only at the human lord level. Even within the human lord level, his evaluation was not at the top, so the difference was even greater.
But Yi Yun was not discouraged. How long had he been practicing martial arts?
It had not even been half a year.
He had used half a year's time. Compared to those disciples from family clans who began practicing martial arts at the age of five or six, it was normal that he could not beat them in certain areas.
