Time silently slipped away.

In the blink of an eye, the fifty geniuses who entered the True Martial Baptism Land had already spent five days here.

The time they had to undergo the True Martial Baptism was already halfway through!

Upon closer inspection, one could see the Heavenly Pit at the feet of the Unrivaled Emperor’s massive image, where the intensely rolling mysterious liquid surged, sounding like roaring sea waves, occasionally mixed with muffled groans filled with pain.

Compared to before, this mysterious liquid had already decreased by one-tenth, correlating with the huge image of the Unrivaled Emperor becoming a bit more illusory.

Moreover, the fifty geniuses bathed in the True Martial Baptism each experienced a transformation.

Their whole bodies were entwined with blazing light, as if a Divine had been resurrected within them, accompanied by the tremor of the Martial Arts Sound, anomalies descending, suppressing all directions, forming an extremely spectacular scene.

It was evident that they had already acquired the True Martial Physique.

Another two days passed—

"Ah!!"

"Why has my speed in absorbing the True Martial Baptism Energy become so slow?"

"Damn it, damn it!"

A young man abruptly opened his eyes, his expression contorted with pain, his eyes filled with a trace of unwillingness.

He was a genius from the Northern State; by luck, he hadn’t been expelled by Xiao Ye and the Green Dragon Four Brothers, so he stayed on the Plain Battlefield, gained a slot for the True Martial Baptism, and arrived at the True Martial Baptism Land to receive the baptism.

He could feel the benefits he was receiving were immense.

Yet, he could also feel that the speed of his transformation was slowing down, almost becoming negligible.

Seeing that the time for the True Martial Baptism was down to the final three days, anxiety overwhelmed him, and his mental state collapsed completely.

"My speed of absorbing the True Martial Baptism Energy is also slowing down!"

"Damn, I originally thought that I could at least obtain one-third of the True Martial Physique this time, but it seems that was a pipe dream."

"Damn it, with the last three days, I have to fight for it, I must calm down and not be impatient."

...

Like a chain reaction, as these words of unwillingness were spoken by the young Northern State genius, although faint amid the blocked sounds in the Heavenly Pit, several geniuses nearby still heard him.

These geniuses also lost their composure, their mental realms disturbed, including a genius from the East State.

They too were filled with unwillingness.

Clearly undergoing the True Martial Baptism, yet watching as the speed of absorbing the True Martial Baptism Energy grew ever slower, they could do nothing to change this, still enduring the torment of intense pain. How stifling!

These unstable geniuses sat firmly in the deep pit, casting glances around, discovering that many others were also restless, instantly feeling somewhat relieved.

However, beyond them, there were still some geniuses in the Heavenly Pit who remained as steady as Taishan, like old monks in meditation, utterly composed.

Among these geniuses, the most noticeable were the Northern State’s Green Dragon Four Brothers, the Northern State’s Xu Teng, and Xiao Ye from the West State.

Due to the Iron Blood Challenge, Xiao Ye’s performance naturally attracted the most attention.

"Hahaha!"

"Xiao Ye’s degree of inheritance of the True Martial Physique is only third-rate, that’s the most ordinary one, even less than mine!"

At this moment, a sneer rang out, encapsulated by the powerful Emperor Martial Power, instantly echoing throughout the Heavenly Pit, awakening many.

"Degree of inheritance of the True Martial Physique? What’s that?"

Following the sneer, the geniuses in the Heavenly Pit immediately identified the young man in luxurious clothing from the East State, Xu Fei.

At this moment, Xu Fei stared at the somewhat weak light column shooting skyward from Xiao Ye’s Heavenly Spirit Cover, his face plastered with a sinister grin, deliberately spreading his voice.

"I come from the prestigious Xu Family of the East State, where there are countless elders who have undergone the True Martial Baptism, naturally having a much deeper understanding of it than you do."

"While receiving the True Martial Baptism, the Energy of the baptism would disperse from the Martial Artist’s Heavenly Spirit Cover, forming a True Martial Light Column. From the thickness of this column, one can deduce the Martial Artist’s degree of inheritance of the True Martial Physique..."

Seeing the puzzled looks around him, he deliberately explained further.

"So it’s not about the longer the time spent in the True Martial Baptism, the more the True Martial Physique one gains. It also involves the degree of inheritance of the True Martial Physique!"

"That means that my degree of inheritance of the True Martial Physique is stronger than Xiao Ye’s?"

"Hahaha, then once the True Martial Baptism is over, I can rely on the True Martial Physique to bully this great genius and become renowned worldwide."

"You sure know how to calculate, planning to step over Xiao Ye to ascend? Although that seems like a good plan."

...

Hearing Xu Fei’s explanation, realization dawned on the crowd.

Especially the geniuses from the East State, who began to gloat.

Seeing a genius from the relatively martial-arts-backward West State actually able to outshine them was naturally hard to accept.

Besides, Xiao Ye’s terrifying strength made him a veritable super genius, whose brilliance was blinding.

Yet his degree of inheritance of the True Martial Physique was even less than many among them, giving them an enormous sense of pride.

Conversely, the degree of inheritance of the True Martial Physique by the Northern State’s Green Dragon Four Brothers surprisingly reached first-class, comparable to the East State Xu Family’s Xu Teng, something that astounded them greatly.

Xu Fei’s explanation completely altered the atmosphere in the Heavenly Pit.

"So that’s how it is!"

At this moment, the Green Dragon Four Brothers in the Heavenly Pit quietly opened their eyes, casting a glance in Xiao Ye’s direction, all sneering.

On the Plain Battlefield, Xiao Ye alone could match the joint efforts of three of the brothers, severely injuring the White Tiger. Although they restrained themselves then,

inside, they were holding onto a grudge, determined to defeat Xiao Ye after receiving the True Martial Baptism.

And Xu Fei’s explanation undoubtedly gave them great hope.

"Looks like Xiao Ye is no longer worthy of being a foe for the four of us brothers. This True Martial Baptism is enough to widen the gap between us and him completely," mused Qinglong coldly, murmuring to himself before continuing to close his eyes and accept the baptism.

"Hehe, it seems Xiao Ye is doomed this time."

Seeing that many geniuses in the Heavenly Pit showed hostility towards Xiao Ye, Xu Fei smiled smugly.

In the blink of an eye, more than two days passed again.

The time allotted by the East State strongmen for the True Martial Baptism of these fifty geniuses was coming to an end, with only the last few hours remaining.

"Damn it, only one hour left, and my True Martial Physique won’t improve a bit more. I cannot bear this torment any longer."

Finally, someone couldn’t stand the torment of the intense pain anymore and leapt out of the Heavenly Pit.
