Ji Yaoyue simply did not dare to believe her eyes. Even she was incomparably shocked by such talent!

“As expected of a genius. Looks like he has a very good chance of breaking through to the Saint Realm!”

Ji Yaoyue smiled and interrupted Zhou Hao.

“Alright, the test is over. Follow me.”

With that said, Ji Yaoyue brought Zhou Hao back to her room.

Then, she looked at Zhou Hao and said, “Your combat strength is very high, and you can even reach six times that of an ordinary Heaven Realm expert. I’m guessing that you definitely have a special way to increase your combat strength, right?”

Ji Yaoyue smiled and could tell at a glance why Zhou Hao’s combat strength was so powerful!

As a half-step Saint Realm expert, she was very observant. If not for having special methods, no one would be able to unleash the strength of a sixth-grade Heaven Realm expert when they were only at the first-grade Heaven Realm!

This was simply impossible!

“Yes, yes, I came across a few opportunities, so… I have ways to increase my combat strength.”

Zhou Hao did not hide anything. There was no need to hide such a thing at all. Many martial artists had ways to increase their combat strength, and Zhou Hao was not the only one!

“Currently, many cultivation techniques I know are used to stimulate blood essence to increase combat strength. However, these methods are not good. Therefore, if it’s the same for you, try your best to use it less unless it’s a matter of life and death. Do you understand?”

Ji Yaoyue said directly. She was naturally saying this for Zhou Hao’s sake.

Zhou Hao naturally could tell, so he immediately said, “Senior Ji, don’t worry. I understand.”

Zhou Hao immediately nodded and smiled.

“That’s good. I have two things to tell you next.”

After Ji Yaoyue finished speaking, Zhou Hao was immediately stunned for a moment and was somewhat surprised. Wasn’t she about to go to the deep sea? What could the second matter be about?

However, Zhou Hao did not care.

“The first thing has to do with the deep sea. That place is much more dangerous than the spatial rift. It has to be known that 70% of Planet Earth is filled with oceans. There are countless mutated beasts in the sea, and they are even stronger. However, they rarely walk on land, so we humans are relatively safe.”

“However, nothing is absolute. After the global change, many mutated beasts gained the ability to go ashore. In fact, the world places a lot of importance on this.

“Moreover, there are rich resources at the bottom of the sea that are very important to us human martial artists. Therefore, the war with the deep sea foreign races has been extremely frequent in the past few years.”

At this point, Ji Yaoyue sighed helplessly. However, there was nothing she could do about this.

“In the sea area, the combat strength of our human race is limited, so the plan to conquer the deep sea is very difficult. For these plans to work, what we need most are peak-level martial artists. In other words, Saint Realm experts! This is also the second thing I wanted to discuss with you!”

When she said the words Saint Realm, even Ji Yaoyue’s breathing became solemn. A martial artist of this level already had the strength to rule the battlefield. It was very terrifying!

At any time, a Saint Realm martial artist was a key figure who could rule the entire battlefield!

It was not an exaggeration to say that if there were twenty Saint Realm human martial artists on Planet Earth, they would have unified Planet Earth long ago!

This was not nonsense, but the truth. The strength of a Saint Realm expert was not something ordinary martial artists could understand at all!

When Zhou Hao heard this, he was also shocked. He did not have any concept of a martial artist of this level!

“Zhou Hao, I don’t know how much you know about Saint Realm experts.”

Ji Yaoyue looked at Zhou Hao and said directly.

“This… I don’t know much.” Zhou Hao did not feel embarrassed. After all, he indeed knew nothing about them. Thus, he told the truth.

“It’s normal for you not to know. Saint Realm is a realm that’s very difficult to get to. And the Saint Realm experts of the human race usually don’t show themselves. Therefore, it’s natural that you don’t know.”

Ji Yaoyue smiled and said, “Martial artists below the Saint Realm cultivate essence energy, physique, and mental strength. However, at the Saint Realm, they cultivate the power of will!”

“Mental strength can also be said to be the power of will, but there’s an intrinsic difference between the two. The power of will is an upgraded version of mental strength. Only by mastering the power of will can one be considered a true Saint Realm expert. Of course, breaking through to the Saint Realm is also a huge breakthrough for the body.”

Ji Yaoyue immediately said and stretched out her finger. An extremely small but powerful force condensed on her finger and flickered with a faint light.

This strength had a natural noble feeling, as if it was above everything. This strength shocked Zhou Hao!

However, this was not the end. Ji Yaoyue pointed at Zhou Hao lightly with her finger. A huge power of will seeped out from her body and enveloped Zhou Hao. In an instant, Zhou Hao felt as if he had been separated from the world. He was shocked to discover that the essence energy and air within a meter around him had become thin.

This scene shocked him greatly.

“Looks like you’ve already sensed it. This is the power of will. To put it simply, it’s the power to control everything!”

With that said, Ji Yaoyue retracted her finger. The power that was imprisoning Zhou Hao’s entire body instantly melted like a snow rain!

“This is the power of will!”

Zhou Hao was very shocked and hurriedly said, “Senior Ji, are you a Saint Realm expert?”

Hearing this, Ji Yaoyue shook her head. “No, I’m only a half-step Saint Realm expert. It’s very difficult for one to enter the Saint Realm. Not only does one need talent, but most importantly, one needs powerful mental strength as well as the comprehension of the power of will to enter the Saint Realm.”

“Actually, relatively speaking, the requirement on the body to enter the Saint Realm is not high. Our essence energy is constantly nourishing the body. As long as we cultivate normally and have enough talent, the body will basically not be affected.”

“The only difference is mental strength. Everyone’s mental strength is different. After all, one’s mental strength is dependent on factors such as talent and opportunities. It can’t be summarized in one way or another. Of course, I’m only talking about ordinary martial artists. The extremely special ones are not like this.”

At this point, Ji Yaoyue waved her hand. A projection appeared in the room, and there was some information regarding the Saint Realm on it.

“A large portion of breaking through to the Saint Realm depends on mental strength, but there are also exceptions to this rule, for example extremely special martial artists…”

“The most typical type of such an artist are body tempering martial artists. Such martial artists can completely rely on their bodies to enter the Saint Realm. Once they enter the Saint Realm, they will be even stronger. In the ancient times, the combat strength of body tempering martial artists was not something ordinary martial artists could compare to. Each and every one of their attacks carried a terrifying destructive power. Even if the other party was a Saint Realm martial artist, they would still be heavily injured or killed when hit by a Saint Realm body tempering martial artist.”

“Therefore, body tempering martial artists are very powerful, but very few can enter the Saint Realm. Among the information we have, there is only a very small amount of information that mentions body cultivation.”
