"I don't know how long Lin Ming can last." Outside the Million Kill Array, everyone was focused on Lin Ming. Even several of the Heaven's Gate disciples who were ranked in the top 70 alongside Lin Ming on the Ranking Stone were ignored.

  "At least four incense sticks, and even the fifth one can be burned halfway. Zhang Cang was able to reach three and a half at that time. Lin Ming will definitely surpass Zhang Cang, ranking in the top 100 is certain, and even 90 or 80 are not impossible!"

  "Going forward one hundred is absolutely no problem, but before eighty it's not that easy to get in. That place is already close to the ranking of the Tianfu disciples. The competition is extremely fierce. Ranking in the top eighty can earn the qualification to challenge the Tianfu disciples. Winning means you can enter the Tianfu!"

  "It's also said that if one can enter the Tianfu in just over a month after arriving at the Seventh Xuanwu Prefecture, then they're not human."

  "In the very early days, the Seven Martial Arts Academy also had a second round of assessment that ranked over 90 people, but those people were all over 10 years old. Due to various reasons, they couldn't enter the Seven Martial Arts Academy in time. As for truly having the strength to rank in the top 100 in the second round at the age of 15, I don't think there have been several in the past hundred years!"

  "Hmm, in these ten years, only Qin Xingxuan has this kind of strength, but she directly became a core disciple... and had nothing to do with us..."

  ……

  One incense stick has burned out, two incense sticks have burned out, three incense sticks have burned out...

  Until the fourth incense stick was lit, Lin Ming's face in the Ten Thousand Killing Array turned slightly red.

  "Hmm, no way, Jingyun sister, I think Lin Ming seems to be unable to hold on anymore. This is only the fourth incense stick that has been lit, and at this rate, it's a bit difficult for him to even enter the top 100." Mu Rongzi had extremely good eyesight, and through the array of light, she saw Lin Ming's situation clearly. Lin Ming's breath was slightly disordered, which was a manifestation of excessive consumption of his true yuan.

  Bai Jingyun furrowed her brow, she had originally thought that Lin Ming might even be able to hold on until the fifth incense stick was completely burned, but now it seemed a bit unlikely, being able to hold on until the fourth incense stick was finished would already be pretty good.

  "Lin Ming seems to be really unwell, could it be that he was too careless in the Myriad Slaughter Array and accidentally got injured from the start?"

  If one is injured from the start, each battle will consume more, and bleeding wounds are extremely fatal. Once this happens, the assessment will be ruined, and the ranking will not rise but fall, resulting in a further reduction of resources that can be called up next month. Therefore, warriors are careful and cautious when passing through the Ten Thousand Kill Array, trying to avoid mistakes.

  "Getting injured is also a sign of weakness, sister. I've said it before, Lin Ming isn't as formidable as you think he is." Murong Zi pouted and said somewhat disgruntledly. She had grown up with the reputation of being a child prodigy since she was young, but now she was completely surpassed by a youth two years younger than her, so naturally she felt some resentment.

  "Oh? Not that impressive? Alright, even if Lin Ming's abilities are lacking and he can only last for four incense sticks, then my good sister, how many incense sticks could you last when you first entered the Seven Profound Martial House a month ago?"

  Murong Zi was suddenly speechless, she had just entered the Seventh Xuanwu Sect and her first assessment hadn't even made it into the top 150, and the second time she only ranked around 140th, far inferior to Lin Ming. She simply raised an eyebrow, pouted, and looked away as if she hadn't heard anything.

  In fact, the biggest progress of Wu Fu disciples on the ranking stone is at the end of each semester. At this time, a large number of students will graduate, and these high-ranking masters will leave, naturally vacating their rankings, while new students are always ranked behind you.

  So even if a student of the Seventh Rank Wu Xuan Martial Arts School is weak, as long as he stays in the school for a longer period of time, his ranking will also move forward.

  Seeing Murong Zi acting recklessly, Bai Jingyun smiled and didn't bother to keep track. Indeed, even if Lin Ming could only hold on for four incense sticks, barely making it into the top 100, this achievement was enough to be proud of! In the past hundred years, the Seven Martial Arts Academies had never produced a freak like him!

  ……

  "Big brother, Lin Ming seems like he's about to collapse." Ta Ke stroked his chin and said to Ling Sen.

  "Hmm, but even if he's just average, his results will still be astonishing."

  "Haha, of course, he's using a gun, and it's a heavy one. Guns have many uses, and Lin Ming's gun should be used in a big and powerful way. This kind of attack is extremely fierce in group battles! However, ordinary people wouldn't dare to use it because it consumes energy very quickly. Even the most powerful generals can't complete a massacre alone. In the Million Kill Array, even if someone uses a gun, they won't dare to fight like this and will try to drag out the battle to recover their strength, because the enemies just keep coming and getting stronger. Tuo Ku's staff has a similar effect to a long spear, so he naturally knows the advantages of such a weapon."

  "Just wait and see, let's see how long Lin Ming can hold on."

  ...................

  In the Ten Thousand Kill Formation, Lin Ming speared a sword-wielding warrior into flight and wiped the blood off his face. "It seems I've killed a bit too much!"

  Lin Ming looked at the black-armored knight in front of him, who was holding a long spear and riding a fully armed warhorse, with a solemn expression on his face.

  Tempered Bone Boundary Warrior!

  Lin Ming swept his way through with the Purple Thunder Spear in hand, while others were already extremely efficient at killing one enemy per move, Lin Ming was killing an entire group with just one move!

  So just as the three incense sticks had been lit, a martial artist who had already reached the fifth level of Body Tempering and Bone Forging appeared!

  Bi Lin Ming was two realms higher!

  Lin Ming had just exchanged blows with the black-armored knight of this tempered bone realm a few times. The opponent's strength was originally greater, and when combined with the fully armed horse, the impact force was astonishing. Lin Ming didn't gain any advantage.

  Generally, the top genius of the Seven Xuanwu Sect can easily cross over to a higher level of combat, such as Zhang Cang from the Three Peaks, who can defeat enemies at the Four Peaks level after leaving the Seven Xuanwu Sect.

  Lin Ming, among this group of top geniuses in the Seven Xuanwu Factions, was still able to fight beyond his level. With his strength at the early stage of the third layer of the Practitioner Body Refining Realm, he had defeated Zhang Cang. However, when facing this Black Armored Knight who had just entered the Tempering Marrow Realm, he could only manage a draw. If there were no other enemies around, Lin Ming might have been able to take advantage of the fact that his opponent was just an illusion, with a dull and rigid attack style, to defeat him. But now, with the endless attacks from the surrounding enemies, Lin Ming was in grave danger!

  "Hum!"

  Lin Ming clashed with the Black Armor Knight in a fierce exchange, and although the Purple Thunder Iron had super strong shock-absorbing properties, Lin Ming was still shaken to the point where his tiger's mouth felt numb.

  The Black Knight's horse was kicked high into the air by Lin Ming, while Lin Ming himself was sent flying back, his body spinning in mid-air for several revolutions.

  "Roar!" A second-level fierce beast took advantage of Lin Ming's momentary loss of balance in mid-air, pouncing forward with its two front claws slashing towards Lin Ming's chest like sharp knives.

  Lin Ming only heard the sound of the wind whistling in his ears, he grasped the Purple Black Heavy Spear, relying on the eight hundred and twenty catty heavy spear's stable inertia to steady himself in mid-air, took a deep breath, and the air flowed into Lin Ming's nostrils like a long snake. He looked straight at the ferocious beast that was pouncing over, and suddenly punched out with great force!

  "To Smash One's Body into Pieces!"

  "Boom!" The beast's body suddenly stopped, and a huge hole burst open on its back. Blood, flesh, and internal organs spewed out of the hole like a geyser!

  One punch will kill!

  Lin Ming tumbled and fell into the midst of the beast group. His vital energy had yet to recover, and the surrounding fierce beasts were already pouncing on him!
