Xuanling said as a matter of course.
"You being able to obtain such a rating and beco a 'Level Master' was only a matter of ti, so offering you so privileges in advance is quite normal, isn't it? Special people should receive special treatnt."
Xue Jing was slightly taken aback.
"That's quite humanizing."
An AI had actually deviated from the system's set regulations, autonomously making 'worldly-wise' considerations just like a human.
Quite frightening, almost triggering the Joy Valley effect.
But perhaps not necessarily, perhaps it was allowed to make such cognitive actions, and these might have been pre-set by humans.
"Then could you please help check which level a person nad Zhao Longtu is currently on?" Xue Jing asked.
"Huh? Your question is too broad."
"There are three hundred eighty-two people called Zhao Longtu currently in the Extre Martial Ascension Palace, and if you include those who have died or who have been here before, there are a total of one thousand two hundred forty-nine."
"Narrow down the conditions!" said Xuanling.
Xue Jing: "Mine."
He thought for a mont and said, "He probably ca in nine days ago, was around level eight thousand two hundred in the morning, and is about seventeen years old..."
Before Xue Jing could finish speaking, Xuanling interrupted, "Got it."
"Sky Climber number 656321587, Zhao Longtu, is currently at level 8493, undergoing a level challenge."
Xue Jing laughed lightly, "That was really efficient... Thank you, Xuanling."
"It's my rightful duty, no thanks necessary."
"If you really want to thank , tell the secret of your body, why it can withstand that kind of move..."

Xue Jing waved his hand: "I was born with the Dragon Elephant Holy Body, which others can't learn, so it's useless to tell you... How do I get to level 8493?"
Xuanling seed to sigh, "Stand still, I'll teleport you there."
"... What is that?"
Xue Jing was startled.
Before he could prepare himself, countless visible data converged under his feet, forming an orange glow beneath him, identical to the SC force field he had tested before.
The orange glow slowly expanded until it could envelop him completely and then began to float up slowly.
As the glow rose, Xue Jing began to disappear from his feet upwards, as if being swallowed by the glow, quite a peculiar sight.
Once the glow had 'swallowed' him completely, Xue Jing disappeared from the spot.
Taking a step forward subconsciously, Xue Jing ca to his senses only to find his surroundings had completely changed.
Ning Yuantai and Cao Sini were gone, and the crowd around him had obviously changed, but most noticeably... the air pressure was lower, and there was less oxygen each breath.
"Is this... level 8493? I got here in an instant?"
Xue Jing knitted his brows.
Teleportation, spatial movent? Had human technology really reached this level?
"What's the matter, is this your first ti experiencing 'four-dinsional movent'?" asked Xuanling curiously.
"Four-dinsional movent?" Xue Jing narrowed his eyes.
He had heard of sothing similar... previously in Qingcheng, while investigating the Heavenly Lodge Insect Mother, he t a mysterious man in the ho of the forr Chief Councillor of Qingcheng.
That man possessed a special ability known as 'Four-Dinsional Senses' and claid he could follow the 'Tracks of Ti' in four dinsions to perform so miraculous operations that bordered on absurdity, to the extent that during the battle with Xue Jing, he achieved an effect similar to 'Ti Reversal'.
"How was this achieved?" Xue Jing inquired.
Xuanling seed to ponder for a mont before speaking, "It's difficult to explain in terms a human would understand."
"...You should know, ants have extrely poor eyesight. In their perspective, the world is 'two-dinsional,' flat. They can't distinguish spherical or curved shapes,"
"In a four-dinsional space, humans are akin to ants. Our senses can only observe a three-dinsional world and are incapable of perceiving the four-dinsional aspect."
"Four-dinsional movent is akin to transferring an ant crawling on one sheet of paper to another... From the ant's point of view, it can neither feel it nor understand that it has moved to a different sheet."
"Just as you now can't understand why you were able to co to level 8493... This isn't so kind of spatial teleportation skill. Rather, I executed a four-dinsional movent on you through the 'unity' of the SC force field. It's normal that you can't feel it or understand it."
"If you ever get the chance to possess four-dinsional senses, it'll be like an ant gaining a human brain. Then, naturally, you will understand."
Xue Jing: "...This world is truly marvelous."
Since he couldn't understand it for the mont, he didn't dwell on it but instead looked around and asked, "Where is Zhao Longtu?"
Unlike the preparatory hall on the first level of the Extre Martial Ascension Palace, level 8493, as Xue Jing looked up, was filled with arenas wrapped in orange SC force field mbranes. At a cursory glance, there were at least a hundred.
On most of the platforms, two Martial Artists were engaged in intense combat, surrounded by spectators. The more intense the fight and the stronger the Martial Artists, the more there were in the audience.
"He's at platform number 064."
Xuanling said.
Xue Jing took a look and noted that each platform was edged with an Arabic nural. He moved left and right, following the sequence to find platform number 064 quickly.
"Bang—!!"
A loud sound ca as a robust Martial Artist's chest caved in, blood pouring from his mouth, as he was sent flying off the arena, the surrounding crowd stepping aside.
"Ji Yang really couldn't last a few moves against him; Zhao Longtu is really fierce, and he's still underage."
"He's one of those geniuses who climbs rapidly; he doesn't belong at the eight-thousandth level. This is just a transition... Hurry and cast a 'praise vote' to send him up to the experts' area, stop him from harming those lower levels."
"It's already two wins, one more and he can go up... Who's next?"
Listening to the discussions of the onlookers, Xue Jing's gaze turned to the figure atop the platform.
A young boy, wearing an old black Martial Arts Uniform, with an extrely fierce deanor and emanating a certain hostility, stood there, maintaining a punching stance.
At the corner of his left eye was a conspicuously indented scar, likely caused by a blunt weapon's heavy strike breaking the skin.
"What vote do you want to cast?"
Xuanling began speaking into Xue Jing's ear.
"Spectators can vote for the winner after a match. There are three types: 'praise,' 'average,' and 'poor.'... If you get more than 80% praise votes in the battles on this level, you can jump levels..."
A holographic image ford in front of Xue Jing, revealing three options.
He casually pressed 'average' and then stepped forward, slowly walking up the entrance staircase to the arena.
The appearance of a new challenger shifted everyone's attention to Xue Jing.
"To see what just happened and still dare to go up... Hm? So young, another minor?"
"Wait a second, such a great face... Have I seen him sowhere?"
On the platform, Zhao Longtu's gaze also landed on Xue Jing.
His ferocious look was almost brimming with malice, resembling a demon from hell, enough to make any child cry at a glance.
Above the platform, the orange force field flickered, and a holographic image appeared.
[Challenger: Xue Jing]
Zhao Longtu's expression remained unchanged as he looked at Xue Jing and said in a hoarse voice:
"Xue Jing... Are you ready?"
He seed not to recognize that the person before him was his examiner for this Martial Arts Examination.
Xue Jing's eyes revealed a smile:
"Of course... I've been ready for a long ti."
