Zhang Hai couldn’t understand, but he was deeply shocked.
His eyes were fixed intently on the suspended octagonal cage arena above, the astonishment in his gaze growing stronger.
Isn’t this guy’s stats somewhat overwhelmingly off the charts?
Zhou Yuanchen felt secretly delighted, unable to suppress a rising smile at the corner of his mouth.
In the match of the top hundred, he fought with helplessness.
Aside from the discomfort of having his account frozen, more frustrating was the crushing feeling at the numerical level.
It even cast a psychological shadow over Zhou Yuanchen, making him question his existence.
Who exactly belongs at the Specialized Level?
On the main stage, the atmosphere exploded with a loud bang!
Qin Shi, who directly initiated the second phase, demonstrated a power entirely unmatched by the Amateur Level.
His bones resonating, his mortal body shook, as threads of brilliance intertwined, absorbing the violent air currents from all directions.
Like a small sun rising, leaping forth.
Emitting intense rays of light!
Almost bursting through the ceiling!
"What stage is this?"
"The Martial Arts Association’s records are very clear, it’s the Four Great Limits."
"That I don’t know. He’s a successor of the Nanhuang Daoist School, specific information is strictly confidential..." The most update n0vels are published on novel⦿fire.net
The spectators below whispered among themselves, engaged in discussions.
Zhang Hai had used Horizontal Cloud Hundred Strikes to cause near fifty percent damage to the heavy armored Ugly Bull Armor, which was quite formidable already.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Qin Shi took the stage, his aura was even stronger!
From an outsider’s perspective, he looked more like someone at the Specialized Level compared to Zhang Hai.
Relying solely on a punching stance, he could suppress the large Ugly Bull Armor, pinning it firmly in place.
His body, like a heavy object with absurd mass and density, distorted space, pushed air currents, forming typhoon-like strong winds.
Even with Ugly Bull Armor activating its power mode, it couldn’t advance a single step.
"Unbelievable! Can we even consider Brother Qin as Amateur Level?
His overall life force purity had long surpassed the boundary!"
Xia Ying regarded the enlarged image of Qin Shi on the screen as if looking at a prodigy.
The barrier between Amateur Level and Specialized Level was extremely solid and distinct.
That is the concept of life force "purity."
At the Amateur Level, the majority of life force is like mist, like clouds, very ethereal, difficult to condense.
Only by crossing the watershed of the Fifth Rank could one possibly nurture a "seed," rejuvenating flesh and blood.
Once crossed into the Specialized Level, that "seed" would break out of its shell, rooting in the physical form.
All nutrients would be rapidly converted to nourish one’s vitality into "brilliance."
Thereby doubling physical capacity, significantly enhancing it!
"Muscles, bones, skin. The four limits of the physical body, he broke three barriers, using substantial accumulation to make the life seed sprout and break its shell, along with the highest inheritance of Nanhuang Daoist School, the Cosmic Furnace Secret Manual."
"Though Qin hasn’t formally crossed the threshold into the Specialized Level, his own life force already exceeded fifty percent of the purity standard."
After New Dongxia, the highest research institute held several meetings, even inviting grandmaster-level figures from various schools for discussion, before finally setting the "purity standard" for life force.
"No wonder, the clan leader let us go out and see the world. Only by participating in the top hundred matches did we know so many geniuses existed in Heng Province, it’s like they’re everywhere."
Xia Ying scratched his head, considering himself one of the most promising talents in the Gu Clan of the past century.
Yet compared to those few on the main stage, there was a significant gap indeed.
Especially Qin Shi, not yet having crossed into the Specialized Domain yet developing life force purity to that level.
In the martial arts world of the Old Era, that would be at the grandmaster level of establishing sects and schools.
Later, they would be written into books, regarded as legends.
"Sister, do you guess what stage is Brother Qin’s purity at now?"
Xia Ying curiously asked.
"Mid-stage of the second dimension, perhaps."
Xia Hong was not very sure.
Her sensing power was generally effective, but it was always hard to observe when facing Qin Shi.
His spiritual level was quite high, like an unfathomable quiet ancient well.
"Tsk, what a talent! It’s deflating, impossible to chase after!"
Xia Ying was extremely envious.
Life force purity is roughly divided into several "dimensions."
The first dimension has three stages, each named differently.
The Old Martial Sect prefers to call them "breath state," "flowing mist state," "vortex state."
The so-called "state" refers to the form of life force.
Starting from "breath" guided by respiration, to "smoke" that swirls like mist, finally to "wind" that contracts and condenses.
Different states represent the level of purity.
"The first dimension is the gaseous stage, life force from thin to dense. The second dimension is the luminous stage, life force from dim to dazzling."
Xia Hong speculated that Qin Shi was in the second dimension, roughly between the "glowworm state" and the "starlight state."
"What luck Nanhuang Daoist School has to find such a gem."
Ying Huang, sitting in the first row, lightly pursed her lips.
"An Amateur Level close to the sun-like state. Like a monster!"
Old Li also showed a serious expression. He was actually in favor of not reconciling and solving the troubles.
Yet after witnessing Qin Shi’s potential and performance up close, his inner resolve began to waver.
"The purity of his life force is simply absurdly high."
Old Li found it difficult to understand, as if it went beyond his comprehension.
"Did he acquire some divine material from a distant Star Sea?"
The pure life force reaching the second dimension is extremely difficult.
In the gaseous stage, it merely requires constant absorption and condensation.
Simply put, "training hard."
But in the luminous stage, one must consider martial arts quality, perceptiveness, mortal body potential, and many other factors.
For instance, the "glowworm state" is dim, unable to complete resonance.
The starlight floating between bones, like countless fireflies.
