After Kang Shin-mu's Chaotic Dragon Body had broken through to the Dragon Realm, the strength of his Divine Dragon body had increased significantly.
His frontal battle prowess had increased by several times, but in comparison, his offensive ability was quite weak. If he were to encounter an expert in battle, once the other party's defensive dragon martial skill was used, it would be impossible for him to defeat the other party.
The only thing he could rely on was his own devouring ability to fight a battle of attrition with his opponent......
But if that was the case, the battle would take too long, and if it was the Donghuang Yongwu College's competition, it would be more likely for others to see the special characteristics of his devouring ability.
"Offensive abilities need to be put on the agenda."
Kang Shin-mu thought to himself.
The only way Xiao Chen could improve his offensive prowess was by cultivating the higher-level Origin Dragon Martial Techniques.
And if he wanted to cultivate them, he had to cultivate high-tier Origin Skills!
As for mid-tier Origin Skills, Kang Shin-mu didn't even want to cultivate them. After all, when a mid-tier Origin Skill was cultivated to the peak, its destructive power could not compare to a high-tier Origin Skill.
Donghuang Yongwu College's experience points were not easy to come by. Kang Shin-mu could not possibly cultivate high-tier Origin Skills after cultivating mid-tier Origin Skills. That would be too wasteful.
However, the number of experience points needed to exchange for high-tier Origin Skills was too high.
According to Kang Shin-mu's current efficiency in completing missions, he probably wouldn't be able to accumulate enough even if he saved up for ten years......
Thus, he needed large amounts of experience points!
How could he obtain experience points so quickly?
Kang Shin-mu didn't know if there was any way to quickly accumulate experience points. The only way he could think of was to increase his own strength and then complete higher-tier missions.
"Before the next Donghuang Yongwu College's competition, I probably won't be able to cultivate a high-tier Origin Skill."
Kang Shin-mu felt that it was a pity.
However, he was not in a rush. In any case, cultivation was not something that could be done in a day. His current rate of improvement was already quite frightening.
At the same time that he was accumulating experience points, the most important thing was to increase his own cultivation base. He couldn't possibly spend ten years accumulating enough experience points to exchange for a high-tier Origin Skill. That would be far too inefficient.
He wanted to make the most of his time.
Taking advantage of the fact that his current cultivation level was not too high, he could use his experience points to exchange for cultivation resources to break through his cultivation level. He could definitely increase his cultivation level first.
…
Two months later!
Kang Shin-mu cultivated step by step. When he ran out of resources, he would go to the Experience Stone Stele to take a look.
Ever since he killed the Horned Fish Beast, there weren't any missions that were too difficult for him to accept. Everything was going smoothly, but the experience points were coming in slowly.
After cultivating for so long, Kang Shin-mu felt that he was only one step away from the fifth level of the Nirvana Tribulation Realm.
He wasn't in a hurry to break through. After all, once he reached the peak of the fourth level of the Nirvana Tribulation Realm, his speed of improvement had already slowed down. If he didn't have a good foundation and rashly broke through, he might encounter some obstructions in his later cultivation.
The more spiritual energy he accumulated, the more it would help him increase his strength in the future.
Right now, Kang Shin-mu was more concerned about the upcoming Donghuang Dragon Martial City Trial.
As long as they could pass this trial, the young dragon martial artists of Donghuang Dragon Martial City would be able to join Donghuang Yongwu College and become new students of Donghuang Yongwu College!
This was the hope of all the genius dragon martial artists of Donghuang Dragon Martial City. Every year at this time, Donghuang Dragon Martial City was always the most lively.
This was because all the genius dragon martial artists from the eastern part of the Dragon Martial Continent would gather together and prepare to face the challenges of Donghuang Dragon Martial City's trial.
The trial from Donghuang Dragon Martial City was called the "Genius Trial."
This trial was naturally organized by Donghuang Yongwu College, and the rules were basically the same every year. The genius dragon martial artists gathered at Donghuang Dragon Martial City would challenge the students of Donghuang Yongwu College.
This was also an opportunity for the students of Donghuang Yongwu College.
Putting aside the specific rules, the key was that as long as they accepted the challenge of Donghuang Yongwu College's genius dragon martial artists, they would receive a certain amount of experience points as a reward.
Moreover, if they performed well, they would receive a lot of experience points as a reward!
Therefore, the Genius Trial was an activity that all the students of Donghuang Yongwu College wanted to participate in.
On Kang Shin-mu's side, he naturally signed up. The entire Donghuang Yongwu College would send twenty students to participate, and these students were all students from the Alkaid District.
If the students from the deeper regions were to participate, it would be too much of a bully for those genius cultivators …
"For the sake of experience points, I can only sign up. I hope I won't encounter Ran Ran."
Kang Shin-mu thought to himself when he signed up.
Of course, Ran Ran also signed up for this Genius Trial, but the Fire Phoenix Princess did not. Until now, she had not broken through to the Nirvana Tribulation Realm, and she was still quite far from it.
It was impossible for her to catch up in a short period of time with all the skills she had fallen behind in the past.
Therefore, this time, Kang Shin-mu only cared about whether Ran Ran could enter Donghuang Yongwu College.
The rules of the Genius Trial were very simple.
The first round was a free-for-all. There were more than a thousand genius dragon martial artists who signed up for the Genius Trial. Every one of them was an outstanding figure of the younger generation, and they had at least reached the Heavenly Dragon's inherited blood essence.
In each free-for-all, a hundred people would enter, and only twenty would successfully advance. There were no rules in the free-for-all, and it could even be a matter of life and death.
Furthermore, because they were divided into groups on the spot, it was impossible for the geniuses to form cliques in advance.
Therefore, this free-for-all was a kind of test for the genius dragon martial artists.
If it was the Alkaid District's Donghuang Yongwu College students who participated in this level of free-for-all, they would definitely be able to easily last until the end. Even if it was one against ninety-nine, they would be able to sweep away many of the weaker opponents, and remain in the last twenty.
This was the difference.
It was not that the Donghuang Yongwu College students were too strong, but the genius dragon martial artists outside were not as powerful as imagined.
Many of them had just entered the Nirvana Tribulation Realm, and they only had Heavenly Dragon's inherited blood essence, yet they signed up to participate in the Genius Trial.
The main reason was that these geniuses were still relatively young, so they had a certain amount of potential for growth in the future. If their performance was outstanding, Donghuang Yongwu College might be able to accept them as students.
After the first round of free-for-all, there were basically two to three hundred people left.
These two to three hundred people were able to last until now in the free-for-all, and they were not simple characters. Of course, the true Genius Trial had only just begun.
Next would be the competition between these two to three hundred people and the Donghuang Yongwu College students!
This competition was not one-on-one. If it was one-on-one, then very few people would be able to successfully enter Donghuang Yongwu College.
The competition was divided into three rounds.
