Tianxu Continent is vast, mysterious and vast. It is an ancient continent left over from ancient times. Its territory is so vast that it is difficult to know its borders.

Since ancient times, the mainland has been divided into five major regions: the Cangming Eastern Region, the Savage Southern Region, the Fanhe Western Region, the Guanghan Northern Region, and the Tianxu Zhongzhou. The five major regions are all vast and vast, so large that they have no boundaries. For ordinary people to walk,

Even if you have a lifespan of a hundred years, it will be difficult to travel all over.

The Eastern Territory of Cangming is located in the eastern part of the mainland. Its territory is vast and complex. It borders the Lost Sea to the east and the barbaric ancient land to the south. It has dangerous mountains and rivers, and many forbidden areas. It is a place that is extremely rare for humans, and there are even ancient beasts that remain in the world. Even though

In this way, the eastern border of Cangming is still a prosperous and wealthy place that is rare among the five major regions.

The territory of Cangmingdong East is vast, with an area of ​​tens of millions of miles. It is also divided into sixteen cities, one emperor city, three king cities, six main cities, and nine county cities. The city is not a city in a narrow sense, but a symbol of territory and boundary. Even

It is the smallest population under the jurisdiction of the county city, with a population of one million. You can imagine the vastness and prosperity of the royal city and the imperial city.

Yuexi City is a small seaside city in Canghai County.

It was just dawning, and a faint fish-belly white rose in the distance in the east.

In the early morning, there is a cool air in the small town. At this time, most residents in the civilian areas have already started their usual work. Even some six or seven-year-old children have begun to get busy, either helping their families with some chores, or

It is a rigorous physical exercise.

The morning sun is rising, and the rays of sunlight shine on the hills in the urban area of ​​the small town. The green trees and lush weeds are all glowing with golden light, as if they are covered with a light golden veil.

At this time, in the open space at the top of the hill, a young and thin figure was exercising.

This is a boy who is only fifteen years old. Perhaps because of regular exercise, the boy's skin is a healthy wheat color, and his long black hair hangs down casually. The boy's face is handsome and resolute, especially his dark eyes.

Bright and clean, like a clear stream under the sun, it makes people forget about the ordinary.

There was an old and worn-out book in front of the young man. It had only a few pages and was less than ten pages long. The cover was yellowed and the handwriting was already blurry. The original name could not be discerned.

He gently opened the first page, which showed some of the most basic martial arts postures. At a rough glance, it was just an ordinary exercise basics book. However, upon closer inspection, every movement and posture in the book seemed to contain a special meaning.

The rhyme of Tao makes people immerse themselves in it involuntarily.

The young man observed carefully, and gradually, his body began to move flexibly, and his fists and kicks burst out with great force. Every punch he threw would bring a cold wind, and every kick he kicked would make the air roar. He sometimes

Like a hungry tiger pouncing on food, sometimes like a crane spreading its wings, every time it moves, the waist and hips unite, and between opening and closing movements, the spine dances like a dragon.

After a long time, the young man stopped exercising, stood up and faced the east, looked at the increasingly bright white fish belly on the horizon, and let out a breath of turbid air.

"It's been two years, but I'm still at the peak of the body training realm." The young man murmured to himself, his dark eyes showing a touch of sadness that was inconsistent with his age.

The boy's name is Xiao Che. He is only fourteen years old. He was born in the civilian area of ​​Yuexi City. He is a disciple of Wushengyuan, the institution that specializes in training disciples in the Mingling Palace.

The physical training realm is the first major realm of martial arts practice. It exercises the body, strengthens the body, and lays a solid physical foundation for the path of martial arts.

The body training realm is divided into nine small realms, including skin grinding, flesh training, strength gathering, Qi condensation, pulse pulse, bone forging, viscera training, marrow tempering, and blood exchange. Each small realm requires a long time to hone.

Only by practicing can you achieve something.

Xiao Che started practicing martial arts at the age of six, reached the peak of the physical training realm at the age of twelve, and crossed nine minor realms in six years. This speed of cultivation is considered astonishing in the entire Wusheng Academy.

However, two years later, many of his disciples who were far inferior to him at the beginning have reached the same realm as him, and even broke through to a higher realm of destiny, but he still stopped at the peak of physical training and stagnated.

There was no other reason, it was just that he failed to awaken his talent cards twice in a row.

"If you don't awaken your innate life card, you will never be able to get over that hurdle." Xiao Che gritted his teeth and punched a huge rock half a man tall with some annoyance.

"Bang!" There was a muffled sound, and the fist collided with the stone, but cracks appeared on the surface of the rock like spider webs, which showed the strength of the young man's body.

"It's almost time, the awakening ceremony is about to begin." Xiao Che felt the warm light of the morning sun, and his somewhat chaotic mentality gradually calmed down.

As he spoke, he paused, carefully picked up the nameless book in the open space, and gently wiped off the dust on it. He didn't know how many times he had read this book, and he knew the contents and moves by heart.

Yu Xin, but every time he practiced martial arts, he would habitually take it out and look at it carefully, and it seemed that he would have a different experience every time.

He gently put the nameless broken book into his arms and looked towards a certain direction of the small town, with a firm look in his eyes: "We must not fail this time!"

Immediately, Xiao Che stood up and ran quickly down the mountain. His body was light and his steps were as fast as flying. The rugged and winding mountain roads in front of him were like walking on flat ground.

…

In the center of the huge civilian area, the branch hall of the Meiling Hall is located here.

There are also some geniuses among ordinary people. The purpose of the branch of the Mingling Palace is to find these young people, discover and cultivate their potential and talents, and use them for your own use.

Awakening Day is the day when the Life Spirit Hall holds the awakening of the Talent Cards every year. The Talent Cards are the key to affecting the practice of every warrior. From the ruler of the continent to the sweeper, there are Talent Cards in their bodies.

Of course, innate life cards are also divided into strengths and weaknesses. The qualifications and attributes of the life cards greatly affect a warrior's future path of practice.

On this day, it finally happened as promised with all the civilian disciples eagerly awaiting it.

When we arrived, in front of the gate of the branch hall of Meiling Hall, it could be said that it was crowded with people. Hundreds of boys and girls were waiting here, either whispering to each other, or looking nervous and uneasy.

In a remote corner, a young man in black was leaning against the wall with an expressionless face. His temperament was a little lonely and his dark eyes were distant, as if he was reminiscing about something. He was somewhat out of tune with the nervous or excited young men around him.

The young man in black is naturally Xiao Che. He is extremely fast and arrived here early. He is calm and waiting for the awakening ceremony to begin.

The shadow of the sun moved slightly, and even the early spring sunshine was a little warm. Many young people had bead-sized beads of sweat on their foreheads. However, out of subconscious awe of the Life Spirit Hall, no one dared to complain despite the heat.

.

At this time, a young deacon strode out of the lobby, glanced calmly at these eager teenagers, with a bit of pride on his face, and said indifferently: "The awakening ceremony has begun, you all line up one by one.

, follow me, enter the lobby in an orderly manner, and no noise is allowed!"

All the teenagers did not dare to speak after hearing this. One by one, they followed the young deacon in an orderly manner and walked towards the lobby.

The Mingling Palace is one of the strongest forces in Yuexi City. It occupies a very large area. Even the lobby of the branch hall in this civilian area is quite spacious and can accommodate hundreds of teenagers without feeling crowded at all.

The decoration of the main hall is simple but somewhat elegant. The most eye-catching thing is the black square stone tablets half a person's height in the middle of the hall.

The black stone tablet is carved with complicated patterns and is thick and majestic. There is a transparent diamond-shaped crystal on the top of the stone tablet, which reflects colorful light in the sun, just like the most precious gemstone.

As soon as the teenagers came in, they were completely attracted by the stone tablet and crystal. Xiao Che was also staring at the stone tablet and crystal motionless at this moment, but unlike most teenagers who were curious and surprised, his eyes were more familiar and familiar.

A trace of unwillingness.

"Initiation Monument, Awakening Stone." Xiao Che subconsciously recited their names in his heart.

The awakening of the innate destiny card cannot be carried out anytime and anywhere, but requires the help of the destiny tablet and awakening stone in front of you.

The former is refined by an inscription master, one of the four major spiritual professions, and is expensive. The latter is a naturally bred strange stone, its rarity is even greater than that of the Qi Ming Monument, even for those with astonishing financial resources.

The Life Spirit Hall cannot withstand excessive consumption. Because of this, special days like Awakening Day exist.

Just when everyone was attracted by the black Qiming stele, a tall middle-aged man appeared next to the stele without anyone noticing. The middle-aged man was dressed in black robes, with a square face and powerful eyes.

, exuding an aura of integrity and integrity.

"Lin Qianshan." Xiao Che moved from the stone tablet to the middle-aged man in black robes, his eyes a little surprised. This was his old acquaintance.

Lin Qianshan is the master of the branch hall of the Life Spirit Palace, and his status is higher than some of the elders of the Life Spirit Palace. Xiao Che was surprised to be able to personally preside over the awakening ceremony of the gifted life cards this time.

.

Lin Qianshan's eyes were very sharp, and his hawk-like gaze swept across the crowd. Almost all the teenagers felt unnatural under his gaze, as if their entire being had been seen through.

After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and said to himself: "There are a few people who like it, but they just don't know what the potential is."

These teenagers were basically twelve years old, and their cultivation levels were all at the fifth or sixth level of the Body Forging Realm. Only a few teenagers who were in the late stages of the Body Forging Realm made him pay a little attention and have some expectations.

Generally speaking, young people with a higher level of physical training are more likely to awaken high-qualified talent cards.

Suddenly, Lin Qianshan's eyes froze and fell on a young man in black. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Oh, this kid is still smiling at me. He is so generous. Don't you know what is going on with him today?"

Wherever Lin Qianshan looked, he saw Xiao Che grinning innocently at him. He was a little annoyed, but when he thought about his situation, these emotions turned into a touch of helplessness.

In the crowd, Xiao Che didn't know that his humble and polite smile was regarded by Lin Qianshan as a heartless giggle. But when he met Lin Qianshan's eyes, he could feel the concern and helplessness in the latter's eyes.

The complex emotions intertwined made my heart feel warm.

"This is your last chance, you have to take advantage of it and don't be careless."

Xiao Che could understand the deep meaning in Lin Qianshan's eyes, and nodded in his direction without leaving any trace.

Immediately, Lin Qianshan stopped looking at Xiao Che, cleared his throat, and under the gaze of all the teenagers, went straight to the topic and said loudly: "Today is the awakening day of the innate destiny card. As we all know, the innate destiny card

, is a gift given to us by God, and it is also the foundation and support for you to become a strong person. What the master of this palace has to do at this moment is to awaken your innate life cards, so that you can embark on the path of practice and become a life master.

, to become a strong person.”

Lin Qianshan's face was expressionless, and the serious aura he exuded involuntarily made the disciples feel quite stressed.

"However, there is a huge gap between the same gifted life cards. Since ancient times, the sages and great masters have divided the gifted life cards into five levels: black iron qualifications, red copper qualifications, white jade qualifications, lapis lazuli qualifications and the most perfect purple

Yu qualifications and life card qualifications determine a person's talent, potential and speed of cultivation.

And the innate life cards of most of you are only the lowest level of black iron qualifications. In other words, your qualifications determine that you can at most reach the Fusion Realm, the Fate Enlightenment Realm in your lifetime, and you may even be trapped in the Body Forging Realm.

, can never be improved..."

Lin Qianshan cruelly told some facts, and it was not an exaggeration. At least half of these disciples could not reach the destiny realm.

Hearing this, the faces of many young people in the hall couldn't help but darken a bit.

, it can be seen that these words have indeed had a big impact on their confidence.

In the crowd, Xiao Che's face darkened when he heard these words, and he felt some pressure invisibly.

"But," Lin Qianshan paused and then changed the topic suddenly: "Does the black iron qualification mean that he is destined not to become a peerless strongman? Can't he be proud of the world and leave an eternal legend for future generations to admire?"

"Not necessarily! With black iron qualifications, you can become the overlord of one side, and you can dominate the world. Don't dare not follow suit. Sword God Lan Tianyi, he is the fate card of black iron qualifications to start, and achieve the position of king of the mainland. He is
