The first day of the competition didn't end until midnight. Half of the 5,480 people were eliminated, and the remaining 2,740 people entered the next stage.
It could be considered that some of the weaker martial artists were eliminated. However, for people like Hu Meng, it was considered that two strong martial artists had encountered each other.
However, there weren't many such martial artists. When many people saw the final ranking, they probably didn't have the intention to challenge. If the gap was small, they could still try. If the gap was too big, they would lose face again.
After it ended, everyone dispersed and went back to their homes.
"Fatty Tang, Tang Lin didn't come back this time?" Zhang Tiannan asked curiously. Tang Lin was Fatty Tang's brother.
"He didn't come back. I don't know where he's cultivating. My father sent people out to look for him two days ago, but there's still no news." He didn't see his brother in the preliminaries this time, so he didn't know where Fatty Tang had gone.
Tang Lin was different from Fatty Tang. He was obsessed with martial arts. His cultivation and combat strength were invincible among the younger generation in Sentry Town, so he went out to train. If he didn't come back once a year, they would probably think he was dead.
They didn't know where he was now, but the biggest event in the entire Empire was the Prodigy List. Martial artists were selected to participate in the competition. If Tang Lin was in seclusion or in a dangerous place, he might not be able to make it.
However, they would know if they entered any town. As long as they were under the age of 30, they could sign up.
"I guess he's in some deep mountain or forest," Fatty Tang continued.
"That's not necessarily true. If Tang Lin signed up in another city, then we might be able to meet him in the Imperial Capital." Zhang Tiannan didn't think it was certain. If Tang Lin signed up, then they could still meet in the Imperial Capital.
Zhang Tiannan actually didn't know much about Tang Lin's cultivation because they weren't in the same circle. Tang Lin's cultivation was much higher than theirs, so there was nothing to talk about. He was also a lone wolf in Sentry Town. Moreover, he had gone out to train in the past two years. However, he definitely had a general level. Two years ago, Tang Lin was already a seventh-grade martial master.
With Tang Lin's talent, it might even be possible for him to reach the Wuzong level. As for the General level, he had already reached it a long time ago.
Even if they were placed in an ordinary city, they would have a chance to stand out. If they signed up, they would definitely meet them in the Imperial Capital.
"Hey, what do you think if you meet my brother in the Imperial Capital and eliminate him?" Fatty Tang suddenly thought of this. There was a grocery store in Sentinel Town. Tang Lin probably wouldn't have a chance to buy anything from the store outside. In other words, the probability of him owning a Ferghana horse wasn't high. If they met, there was a high chance that he would be eliminated.
Mo Tiankong felt tired. Tang Lin is your brother. Is it really okay for you to think like that? However, Zhang Tiannan also agreed with Fatty Tang's words. No matter how talented Tang Lin is, it's impossible for him to reach the Martial King realm in a few years.
If he encountered Fatty Tang, with his Divine Martial Skills, there should be no suspense.
"There are tens of thousands of martial artists participating in the Imperial Capital. Let's talk about it when we meet." There were tens of thousands of martial artists in all the cities, and they were all powerhouses from the preliminary selection. They would talk about it when they met.
"Besides, if we really meet, how are you going to fight?" Zhang Tiannan said without rhyme or reason. It seemed that this scene was a little interesting.
The scene of two brothers fighting was too beautiful. He couldn't be too heavy-handed. If he was heavy-handed, he wouldn't be able to recover when he returned home. Tang Shen would probably also beat him up.
In this aspect, Tang Lin still had an advantage. If he could defeat Fatty Tang and continue to gain experience, when Fatty Tang's injuries were healed and the Tang family's anger dissipated, he would be fine when he returned home.
"Let's rely on our own abilities," Fatty Tang said naturally.
I'm afraid you're relying on your Divine Martial Skills. Without Divine Martial Skills, whether you can pass the preliminary selection or not is a problem.
Cough, cough, it seems that I'm the same. However, the two of them are the youngest among all the martial artists participating in the competition. After one or two years, the two of them will have no problem entering the Imperial Capital's preliminary selection based on their strength. As for leaving their names on the Prodigy List, it will depend on their cultivation progress.
"Okay, see you tomorrow. There's still a big battle tomorrow," Zhang Tiannan said as they walked to the inner town's city wall. The two families' positions were not together.
"Brother Tiannan, if we meet tomorrow, I won't be merciful," Fatty Tang said before leaving.
"… Goodbye," Zhang Tiannan said as he walked towards the Zhang Mansion without looking back.
If they really meet, it's not certain who will win. My cultivation is a little higher than this guy's. If the Ferghana horse is trained to the same level, this little difference will become an opportunity for victory.
.....
Mo Tiankong also finished his business for the day. He closed the shop and cooked in one go. Today is the day of the weekly settlement. Tomorrow is the day of rest.
He leisurely ran into the hot spring pool. Because of the weekly settlement, Mo Tiankong also developed the habit of soaking in the hot spring at least once a week.
If there's a chance to draw a prize, he will also soak in the hot spring. After all, he has to wash his hands. This is metaphysics, and the spiritual spring water is very comfortable.
After eating with Auspicious, Mo Tiankong soaked in the hot spring and waited. Auspicious was lying on the edge of the hot spring as usual.
It was 12 o 'clock.
"Ding, this week's turnover is 8.12 million Spirit Stones. The System and the Host will split it 9: 1. The System will split it into 7.38 million Spirit Stones. The Host will split it into 812 million Spirit Stones. Transforming it into martial arts cultivation …"
First Grade Martial Emperor Realm
.....
The white light pillar ended. This time, the increase was very short, but it was also a promotion to another realm.
The Martial Emperor Realm. Mo Tiankong carefully felt the changes in his body.
His body's strength had increased, and there was an additional force of the Five Elements.
Mo Tiankong also had some understanding of the martial arts realm. Of course, it was all provided by the System.
Before the Martial King Realm, martial arts cultivation was to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth to refine the body, nurture the mind power, and condense it into a seed.
At the Martial King Realm, one's mind power was strong enough to begin to understand the Five Elements of heaven and earth. Vitality was just a normal energy that filled the continent. However, Mo Tiankong didn't feel anything. Just like now, he had inexplicably gained the Gold Force and stepped into the Martial Emperor Realm.
The Five Elements of heaven and earth were Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. They were of a higher level than Vitality. The requirement to reach the Martial Emperor Realm was to understand one of the Five Elements.
Mo Tiankong used his mind power to look inside his body. The first level of Vitality in his body had turned golden. The power of this level of Gold Force surpassed the power of the ninth level of normal Vitality.
Just like the same martial arts technique, the difference in power between Gold Force and Vitality was too great. The difference between the power of Vitality and Gold Force was also like heaven and earth.
"But System, why do I have the Gold Force?" The Gold Force was mainly used for killing. Would it be useful for him to open a shop?
More importantly, the System didn't ask for his opinion and directly gave him the Gold Force.
"The System randomly selected it from the Five Elements."
"…" You're good. Mo Tiankong was helpless about this. Actually, any of the Five Elements would work.
As for his cultivation base, it only increased by one level. Mo Tiankong was mentally prepared. However, the remaining seven hundred thousand spirit stones couldn't increase his cultivation base by one level. That meant that the Martial Emperor Realm would increase his cultivation base by a million spirit stones per level. He would need more than a hundred million spirit stones to reach the Martial Emperor Realm.
However, it seemed that there would be a reward if he made more than a hundred million. It was a random lottery.
That meant that once he reached the Ninth Martial Emperor Realm, he would be able to draw a lottery.
After all, he still had more than ten million spirit stones in three months.
"Ding! The weekly settlement has been changed to monthly settlement. The rules for the host to receive items every week remain unchanged." The System sent a notification.
Mo Tiankong was a little dumbfounded. It was supposed to be a weekly settlement, but now it had become a monthly settlement.
"The System has assessed that the weekly turnover of the general store is not enough to increase the martial arts grade. Therefore, it has been changed to monthly settlement." The System quickly explained.
"…" Alright, Mo Tiankong was just about to ask when the System explained first.
Indeed, the weekly turnover in history had never exceeded ten million spirit stones. Therefore, the System's change was understandable. Mo Tiankong didn't mind. After all, the turnover was there and wouldn't run away. He just changed it to monthly settlement. Moreover, the free items were still four per month. It was fine as long as this didn't change.
As his cultivation base increased, he needed more spirit stones. The weekly settlement was no longer suitable. He couldn't increase his cultivation base, so what was the point of settlement?
He opened the panel.

Title: Level 3 Store Manager (Combat Strength Increase by 30%)
His cultivation column changed to rank one Martial Monarch.
With the addition of the Great Xia Dragonfinch and the Power of Gold, Mo Tiankong felt that his combat strength was off the charts. Also, the Transportation Formation he received this week was still not sold. There were very few warriors coming to the store on Saturday. Because of the Prodigy List and the previous half-price.
The Beast Pet and Privileges columns didn't change.
The spirit stones were sold to Yu Xiuyuan for a chance to learn the Eight Trigrams Blade Technique, which increased by 60,000 spirit stones. Now he had 130,000 spirit stones. He finally had some value.
The store's experience was full. Although the Side Mission didn't count into the store's experience and turnover, it still met the requirements for leveling up.
The turnover was this time and the balance from last time. There was also no change to the title. The title leveled up together with the store.
At this point, the settlement was over. The next settlement would be in a month.
After Mo Tiankong put away the Auspicious, he went upstairs. There weren't many warriors coming to the store today. He was sleepy and needed to sleep more.
