mo wangqing's pupils dilated. he was utterly shocked. "five martial saints, among whom were one supreme and two extreme ones, encircled him, yet he still managed to kill the strongest three among them?"
wan qingshan spoke solemnly. "that's right. as for the other four... i suspect they only survived because they fled quickly enough!"
mo wangqing was deeply shaken. "such power..."
then, as if something clicked in his mind, he turned abruptly toward wan qingshan.
wan qingshan understood the reason behind mo wangqing's reaction. he gave a solemn nod. "he's already comparable to the kings of the century from previous generations."
the kings of the century from past generations were exactly at this standard. they were the strongest of the supreme martial saints. however, even then, they still could at most defeat one supreme martial saint head-on.
if two supreme martial saints launched a joint attack against them, they would have no choice but to employ hit-and-run tactics, ensuring they wouldn't be entangled in a true two-on-one situation. if anyone dared to stubbornly take on two opponents at once, the best outcome would likely be mutual destruction.
"king of the century!" mo wangqing muttered to himself.
li pin was already like a true king of the century.
mo wangqing's expression turned a little complicated. he's already like a true king of the century. alas.... this iteration of the competition... is different.
in the past, all the extreme martial saints gathered for the sole purpose of breaking through their limits to forge new paths. at the very least, they sought to refine their qi into spirit and make the ultimate transcendence into the realm of astral cultivators. they would never allow any external force to interfere with their pure martial arts belief.
however, in this iteration, nothing was off the table; astral equipment, companion beasts, poisons, banned drugs, underhanded tactics.... it was all fair game.
all for just one purpose—victory! to seize the final victory! to offer the crown of the king of the century to the legends backing them!
those legends would then carry this glory and ascend to the position of supreme commander of the special united squad... or even... the future leader of the human race.
"perhaps... he truly shouldn't have participated in this year's king of the century competition," mo wangqing murmured to himself.
his passion for nurturing talent left him with a faint regret for extending the invitation to dragon gate hall. however, that thought only lingered briefly before he pushed it aside.
the greater good had to come first!
he had to do everything possible to help his master fu qingtian secure the position of supreme commander. with that title, fu qingtian would lead the other legendary and master astral cultivators to purge the degenerate temple of nanli country and the blood demon bishop of demon-sealing fortress at the fastest speed possible.
the sooner these two perilous regions were eradicated, the sooner tianyuan could avoid the deaths of countless people
if sacrificing one person could save millions, even tens of millions, preventing countless families from being torn apart... he'd do it.
what's wrong with that?!
if this was wrong, if it were a sin, then... let him, mo wangqing, shoulder this sin!
"he... absolutely should join the grand battle for the king of the century! and furthermore... he is the best candidate to execute the 'king' plan!"
as mo wangqing spoke, his eyes grew sharp and clear. he turned to wan qingshan. "mobilize every available resource. publicize his glorious victory with all your might... and let the world know... no, we are simply telling the world the truth!"
mo wangqing paused. "based on the stats and results of all the past generations during the competition, li pin... is the king of the century!"
wan qingshan nodded firmly. "understood."

"meow!"
a pained howl echoed as a demonic cat collapsed into a pool of blood, its skull shattered by li pin.
this demonic cat had a qi and blood level of at least fifty.
"weak," li pin muttered.
if the storm caught up to him, he'd be drenched for sure. he, however, had no intention of avoiding the rain.
with his backpack on, he marched forward, facing the growing storm head-on.
the sky darkened further.
although it was only three in the afternoon, it felt as if night was already falling.
suddenly, a bolt of lightning ripped through the sky, lighting up the gloom.
this bolt of lightning seemed to land just ahead of li pin.
of course, it only appeared that way and was several miles away in actuality.
from where he stood, li pin couldn't tell if it had struck the ground.
however, in that brief moment when the lightning descended, li pin felt a tingling sensation all over his body. every hair on his body stood on end, as though caught in some sort of electromagnetic effect.
this sensation made him shudder slightly.
"this is it."
li pin scanned his surroundings, and soon his gaze locked onto a nearby hill.
it wasn't very tall, just a few hundred meters high. it was the highest point he could find within several miles.
he sprinted forward at full speed, easily clearing tens of meters in a single bound.
in this kind of weather, if anyone were to see him sprint at such speed, they'd no doubt be startled and assume they had encountered a ghost.
whoosh!
the wind howled.
the trees in his path swayed violently, their branches threatening to snap under the force of the gale.
at some point, large raindrops began falling, splashing against li pin's face.
then more and more followed. within half a minute, the rain grew so dense that even a martial saint like him couldn't see a hundred meters ahead.
raindrops splashed everywhere, creating a mist that blurred the surroundings and shrouded the mountains.
the downpour was torrential!
yet in the midst of this heavy rain, li pin's speed only increased. the torrential rain greatly hampered his forward dash, and the soaked ground made the climb even harder. but he didn't pause. each leap brought him closer to the peak he had set his sights on.
suddenly, the sky was once again illuminated by a dazzling flash of lightning.
less than two hundred meters from where li pin stood, a tree on the mountaintop, twenty meters in height at most, was struck by the blinding lightning. flames erupted from it as the tree caught fire.
the moment the lightning struck, an intense tingling sensation surged through li pin's body. at that moment, he had clearly felt a force flowing through him, pulled by an invisible power, surging rapidly inside him.
this power wasn't like his physical strength or qi and blood, but rather... it was bioelectricity that had been triggered by the lightning!
the reason he could sense this power so clearly was due to his lifeform force field.
through the lightning that fell from the sky, his lifeform force field seemed to resonate with a vast, unseen power. this created a mysterious, synchronous vibration that pushed the bioelectricity inside him, causing a tingling sensation to arise, one that spread all over his body. that vast power was...
"the world!"
or perhaps better called... the planet itself.
