Martial God: Grinding from Mortal Flesh to Immortality Chapter 207 - 150: Hiding Skills, Heaven-Reaching Tree, 6th

"Lu Sheng... Will he beco what Senior Sister Murong once was?"

Yang Zhenyun couldn’t help but murmur to himself as he looked at Liu Yao’s back, pondering silently in his heart.

In his mind, he couldn’t help but recall the events related to Liu Yao in the past.

Once, within a re hundred years, Liu Yao had advanced to Tier Six, but after entering Tier Six, he didn’t know why she suddenly imrsed herself in research.

As a result... two hundred years had passed, and there was still no news of any breakthrough from Liu Yao, as if... she had exhausted all her talent.

In all these years of great competitions, every ti Yang Zhenyun and Third Senior Brother wanted to challenge Liu Yao, they were narrowly defeated by her.

Even their cultivation level was the sa, at the early stage of Tier Six.

"Senior Sister Murong..."

Yang Zhenyun’s eyes slightly narrowed as he gazed at Liu Yao’s back.

Lu Sheng instantaneously defeated Murong Xue, and everyone’s reactions were different. Even Gumo focused all his attention on Lu Sheng.

"This kid’s talent... is not weaker than Liu Yao’s of that ti!"

Gumo said to himself secretly.

"So emotional and righteous, such a temperant is already quite rare."

"Perhaps..."

Gumo pondered for a mont, then his gaze fell on Liu Yao, sending her a ssage through sound transmission.

"What do you think of this little fellow?"

Liu Yao paused slightly, her mouth not even moving, but she had already replied through sound transmission.

"A natural talent, no weaker than I was back then."

Hearing Liu Yao’s words, a rare smile appeared on Gumo’s face as he transmitted back with a smile, "After this grand competition, we can ask this little fellow what his thoughts are on the Research Factions."

"Perhaps... he could be nurtured as the next Senior Brother!"

Liu Yao’s expression remained unchanged, but a slight ripple flickered in her eyes.

"Yes!"

Gumo smiled while stroking his beard as if he had thought of sothing. He then sent another sound transmission, "How confident are you in taking that step?"

"Should you succeed, I would rest assured in entrusting the Life Factions to you."

Facing Gumo’s inquiry, Liu Yao’s expression remained utterly calm, as if nothing in this world could stir her inner peace.

"Thirty percent certain!"

Hearing this, Gumo sighed with so lant, looking at Liu Yao with a bit of pity in his eyes, "These years of hiding your abilities, you must have suffered."

This ti, Liu Yao didn’t speak. She just looked calmly at the scenes before her, though what she was thinking in her heart remained unknown.

...

Lu Sheng was unaware of the reactions outside.

At this mont, after placing the Earth Soul Pearl into the Five Elents Mini World, he once again embarked on an adventure to seek treasures.

Relying on the perception amplified by the Primal Split and the perfected Domain of Life and Death, Lu Sheng’s score continuously climbed the rankings.

However, as ti passed, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but glance around.

"The range of the Heaven-Reaching Mini World... seems to be shrinking constantly!"

Lu Sheng spoke softly, his gaze fixed on a spot.

Under the shelter of the Domain of Life and Death, there was a vine worm larva lying quietly on the ground, unaffected by the domain’s force.

But if one looked closely, they would notice a faint green light covering the surface of the larva. It was this green light that protected the larva from the domain’s influence.

"Is this... to maintain the sustainable developnt of the Heaven-Reaching Mini World?"

Lu Sheng slightly raised an eyebrow.

Once the vine worms increased, they would indeed harm the Heaven-Reaching Vine. But if controlled within a certain range, they would benefit the vine.

Thus, these larvae were under the protection of the Heaven-Reaching Vine.

Not just these larvae, but even the roots and stems of so heavenly materials and earthly treasures within the Heaven-Reaching Mini World were protected by the Vine’s power.

As long as these roots and stems were not damaged, they would regrow in the rich life force of the Heaven-Reaching Mini World over ti.

After figuring this out, Lu Sheng no longer targeted these larvae but instead hunted the vine worms that weren’t protected by the Heaven-Reaching Vine.

His score... kept rising!

However, as ti passed, on the leaderboard in the sky of the Heaven-Reaching Mini World, containing up to ten thousand nas, so nas gradually lost their luster and turned gray.

"Bit by bit, people are getting eliminated. As the range of the Heaven-Reaching Mini World shrinks, the likelihood of participants encountering each other increases. By this point... it’s almost the later stage of the contest."

Lu Sheng looked up at the leaderboard in the sky and said calmly.

Lu Sheng also noticed that although the eliminated students were gone, their scores on the leaderboard remained and did not reset to zero, but stayed as they were.

Only, with them being eliminated, they no longer had a source of gaining more points, causing their rankings to continually fall.

"Indeed... the primary factor in this contest is still to ensure one’s own safety first. Only within this Heaven-Reaching Mini World can one have the hope of reaching higher ranks."

Lu Sheng looked at the scene, smiling faintly.

In the intense treasure hunting and vine worm hunting process, Lu Sheng’s score soared madly. At this mont, he had already climbed to over two thousand in the rankings.

"The previously eliminated Senior Sister Murong, with her strength, would have easily made it into the top two thousand. But unfortunately, since I eliminated her, her ranking has now fallen to over eight thousand and is still declining."
