The reason why Sun Ning did not participate in this round of competition is naturally reasonable.
It is different from directly drawing spiritual power from the spiritual stone.
Through spiritual maps, visualization scrolls and other things, to improve spiritual power by practicing spiritual methods, a basic premise is to temper the physical body to the extreme.
His physical body is indeed very powerful, comparable to some innate seven-star realm experts. However, his cultivation level is only at the level of Four-Star Yuanjun, so his potential is still huge, and he is far from reaching the ultimate state.
If you have not reached the physical perfection, but you forcefully practice spiritual methods, it will definitely cause harm to yourself.
This kind of damage may not be visible for the time being.
But in the future practice, it will definitely appear slowly. For example, the upper limit of improvement is lowered, the shackles of advanced cultivation become stronger, or the foundation is unstable, causing inner demons, etc.
Sun Ning would never harm his future practice for the sake of small immediate gains.
Having said that, the vast majority of warriors in the Innate Seven Star Realm have not reached the ultimate physical body, but they still start to practice spiritual methods. One of the reasons for being outstanding and ordinary is whether they always maintain high standards for themselves.
The Great Elder nodded happily, with approval in his eyes, and said: "In that case, you can just watch the battle from the sidelines!"
Everyone held spiritual crystals in their hands, lined up in a row according to the rules of the competition, and sat cross-legged in the center of the high platform.
Many people have closed their eyes and concentrated their minds, so that when the competition begins, they can enter in the best condition.
Qu Jiuge's face was pale, but his eyes were colder than ever before. He stayed on Sun Ning calmly for a moment, opening and closing, as sharp as a blade under the moonlight.
"Practice spiritual methods, start now!"
Following the Great Elder's order, everyone poured spiritual power into the spiritual crystals in their hands, and a blank picture scroll suddenly appeared above their heads.
Gradually, the shadow of the scroll above someone's head began to tremble, and some subtle lines appeared, as if an invisible painter was using invisible hands to paint on the shadow of the scroll.
Half an hour later, the pictures above everyone's heads had more or less appeared.
Of course, the smallest number of people only appear on the screen with a few strokes.
As for Hu Mangong, who was the most numerous, the outline of a landscape scroll appeared on the picture above his head.
Ranked after Hu Man Gong was Qu Jiuge.
He suffered an extremely serious blow yesterday. Not only was he revived with full health today, but his performance in this round of competition was much better than the others.
An hour and a half later, the scroll above Han Moxi suddenly became thinner and blurry, and disappeared after a moment. He was also extremely tired, and his back was slightly rickety.
This is a manifestation of the inability to continue practicing after the mental power has been greatly depleted.
The great elder immediately recorded his name, training time and other relevant information. At the same time, he sent someone to deliver him a pill to replenish his spiritual power.
"That man's name is Han Moxi! He was eliminated first!"
"In the mental strength test, Han Moxi was originally the last one, but now he is the first one and can't hold on. It's understandable."
In the following time, after Han Moxi, there were more scrolls with people on their heads, gradually disappearing.
Two hours later, the only people who were still practicing the spiritual method were Hu Man Gong, Qu Jiuge, Prince Cheng, Songtao Peak Master Qin Feihe, and the young spear god Zhao Yanxin.
"Yan Changge, who previously ranked third in the mental test, was killed by Sun Ning! Now, except for Hu Mangong, these people's mental strength is not as strong as Yan Changge!"
“I really don’t know what Sun Ning’s results will be if he participates in this round of competition!”
People seem to be a little obsessed with Sun Ning, who performed well in previous competitions, and are also a little worried about him not participating in the competition.
Many people have this feeling. If Sun Ning is present in this competition, it will always be unexpected and wonderful. But when he does not participate, it will appear tepid and the enjoyment will be greatly reduced.
After three hours, the competition ended.
The first place winner was of course Hu Mangong. Not only did he practice for three full hours, but he also had more than half of the pictures on the scroll than the others. This was due to his fast practice speed.
In addition, the picture is clearer than the others, which shows that he has the deepest spiritual imprint.
Hu Man Gong won the first place in this competition, which is undisputed.
As for Qu Jiuge, Prince Cheng and the other four, they also persisted in practicing for three hours.
But Qu Jiuge had the most pictures in the scroll above his head and practiced the fastest, finishing second and earning four points.
Cheng Taizi won third place, and his pictures were a little less than Qu Jiuge's.
The last one is Zhao Yanxin.
As for Sun Ning, because he did not participate in this assessment, one point was deducted from his total points.
After announcing everyone's results and rankings, the great elder said: "Next, the fourth round of assessment of this Five Peaks Exchange Meeting will begin - measure your ability!"
"Measure your ability?" Sun Ning's heart moved.
Measuring one's strength is to test the warrior's physical strength.
The warriors in the Xiantian Seven Star Realm have reached the end of tempering their physical bodies.
At this stage, the strength of the physical body can also be seen as the final yardstick for a warrior's upper limit and future achievements.
They have reached or are close to the upper limit, but people with stronger physical strength will often have higher achievements in the future.
If you can enter the legendary realm of unity between man and nature, you will definitely be able to advance to the divine sea realm, completely transcending the mortal body and possessing legendary supernatural powers.
In the realm of body refining, the physical strength of the body needs to reach the strength of eleven tigers.
To reach the Houtian realm, you need the power of three wild elephants, which is equivalent to the power of 2,100 tigers.
To reach the innate state of unity between man and nature, one needs the power of ten savage elephants.
If a warrior reaches the peak of the Seven-Heaven Realm and his physical strength does not reach the power of three wild elephants, then it is absolutely impossible for him to advance to the Divine Sea Realm.
Sun Ning's current physical strength is close to the power of seven wild elephants, which is definitely much stronger than many people present. If he participates in this assessment, he has a high chance of getting a good result in the top five.
By then, he will definitely shock the world again.
"Measure your strength? This is a good test! We can just see how strong the physical bodies of these top geniuses from all over the world will be!"
"Not bad! You can also compare the gap between us and others!"
"Guess how powerful Sun Ning's physical strength will be? Will it be better than Qu Jiuge or Yue Botao?"
People immediately started talking excitedly.
The great elder took out a large black and white stone tablet in the shape of Bagua and said loudly: "This is the power measuring tablet. It can accurately measure your strength to the strength of an ox! Now, please arrange the people who want to take part in the assessment.
Good order, come on stage one by one to measure your physical strength!"
He didn't see any movement, but this huge force-measuring monument was suspended three feet above the ground in the center of the stage. The center was exactly the same height as a person's shoulder, which caused the crowd to marvel.
Strong people in the Divine Sea Realm always have incredible magical powers.
Everyone came to the stage one after another.
Then he saw in silence that Sun Ning was still sitting on the chair, not even stepping forward to receive the serial number or participate in the competition. (To be continued)
