A newly built thatched cottage, with its back against the green hills and facing a small stream, has several hundred-year-old willows planted in front of it. In the early morning, when the mountain fog had not yet dispersed, one could still hear the chirping of birds faintly.

  Guo Yi had already started practicing his powerful fist in the courtyard, this was his new home.

  The nine serpents flew the boat for a month and finally arrived at their destination, which was now nearly 100 million miles away from the mysterious bamboo forest, a distance that ordinary people would find difficult to traverse in ten lifetimes.

  After arriving at Youjin City, Guo Yi only knew that the rules of Youjin City were: those with martial arts cultivation below a certain level did not have the qualifications to enter the city.

  "The Martial Saint" must have the pinnacle of "The Great Martial Canon", the tenth level of cultivation. The Martial Saint is a threshold, and only by crossing this threshold can one qualify to impact the door of cultivating immortality, and enter the realm of the mysterious and profound "Spiritual Being".

  Ji You Ran told Guo Ye that once he reached the rank of Wu Sheng, he should go to the City Master's Mansion and look for her. As long as he reported her name, no one in the entire Youjin City would dare to move him.

  "What is her identity after all?" Guo Yi felt that Ji You Ran's status in the Secluded City might be quite extraordinary, after all, her cultivation was so terrifying.

  The Sealed City is only accessible to Martial Saints, yet there are still nearly a hundred million people outside. The city is filled with experts as numerous as the fish in the river. Outside the city, martial artists fill the land, and the four sides of the Sealed City are surrounded by mountains, where countless young people who want to enter the city reside.

  These people are almost all below the level of a Martial Saint, and they're not very old. Some of them live within a hundred million miles of the Sealed World, while others are even princes or princesses from various countries.

  Kuo Yeh was one of them, and he set up a thatched hut outside the city to live in. As long as he reached Wu Sheng, he could enter the city to live. The secluded city was a holy place for selecting geniuses. If one's talent was outstanding, they might even be favored by some immortal palace and practice the Tongling classics.

  "Guo Ye, you're practicing boxing so early?"

  A tall and slender young man waved at Guo Yao from afar, dressed in expensive clothing, walking neither slowly nor hastily, his height almost reaching two meters, making it hard to believe that he was only a fifteen-year-old boy.

  "It was actually Li Yuandage, aren't you also very early?" Guo Yao stopped punching, his ears extremely sensitive, he heard two footsteps, one light and one thick.

  Next to Li Yuan was a little girl who looked like she was only twelve or thirteen years old, with sparkling eyes that were very cute. This was Li Yuan's younger sister, Li Xiaoyan.

  The Li siblings also wanted to join the Sealed City but their strength was not up to the Martial Sage realm, and they lived very close to Guo Yi, so they had a good relationship.

  For these two people, Guo Yi was sincerely grateful. Two months ago when he came here, it was the siblings who helped him build a thatched hut.

  A chance encounter in a foreign land is also a kind of fate.

  Li Yuan and his siblings were originally from a large family in the Longguo country, but because they came from a collateral branch of the family, they were often bullied. So they traveled thousands of miles to come to the Secluded City, where if they joined a certain spiritual palace as an outer disciple, they would have the capital to speak when they returned to their family, and no one would dare look down on them.

  Changguo State is 90,000 miles away from Youjin City. Within the sphere of influence of Youjin City, it is a small kingdom with only a few thousand miles in circumference, which cannot be compared to the vast territory of Yunxin Empire at all. Youjin City has a radius of one million miles, and there are thousands of such kingdoms. In the eyes of these kingdoms, Youjin City is an absolute holy land, and even the lord of a country can be appointed at will.

  Li Yuan walked up, smiling: "Just now I saw your boxing technique flowing like clouds and water, sixty-one punches in one breath. I didn't expect that in just two short months you would further advance into the sixth level of the 'Great Martial Classics'!"

  Guo Yidao said, "Still, Li Yuandage is more formidable. I'm afraid it won't be long before he breaks through the tenth layer of the 'Great Martial Scripture' and becomes a Martial Saint. At that time, the gates of Youyin City will have to be opened for you."

  Li Yuanda's Dahuaquan had already reached the point where he could unleash eighty punches in one breath, and if he could just add one more punch, he would be able to complete a perfect set of Dahuaquan, achieving the status of a martial saint. However, he had been stuck at this step for half a year now, which was a hurdle that needed to be overcome before he could enter the realm of a high-level martial artist.

  "We still need a bit of opportunity." Li Yuan shook his head and sighed, then suddenly said: "It's been three days since we last sparred, I'll come with you to exchange moves, hoping that together we can step into the gates of Youjin City."

  Kuo Yeh was overjoyed. Having someone stronger than himself to spar with would greatly improve his combat experience, which he couldn't get even if he begged for it normally. He naturally agreed readily.

  In the courtyard, a strong gust of wind rose, and the ancient willow tree in front of the door rustled with each wave of fist strength. Guo Yao stepped into the sixth level, his single arm already possessing six hundred jin of enormous power, which was considered extraordinary among ordinary people, enough to serve as a small general in the army, commanding thousands of men.

  "They're at it again, those two martial fanatics." Li Xiaoyan stood with her hands on her hips, pouting as she watched the two people tumbling about in the courtyard, feeling quite annoyed.

  Guo Yue was drenched in sweat, feeling invigorated throughout his four limbs and eight meridians. His fighting spirit grew even stronger, and he didn't stop until he had exchanged over 500 moves with Li Yuan.

  Li Yuan was also slightly panting, he didn't expect that in just a few days, Guo Yi's combat strength had increased so much, truly a monster. Although Li Yuan was three realms higher, the battle was still somewhat laborious.

  "This is still the reaction ability of a sixth-level martial artist from the 'Great Martial Classics'? It's almost as fast as my reaction speed!" Li Yuan was very impressed with Guo Yao, and a strange thought flashed through his mind, "He might even enter the realm of Martial Sainthood before me."

  Li Xiaoyan's nose was about to be twisted in anger. Did these two guys hear what she said or not? Her small hands were clenched tightly, on the verge of an outburst.

  Li Yuandao: "Let's go eat, if we don't go now someone will scold us, haha."

  Guo Yi rubbed his nose and smiled: "I smell that today's dishes are particularly fragrant, with wild deer meat, fungus, and the flavor of snow duck."

  "Dog nose." Li Xiaoyan muttered to herself.

  At the dinner table, Guo Yi asked while eating: "Brother Li, I have always had a question in my mind, can you answer it for me?"

  "It doesn't matter," said Li Yuan with a smile.

  "Didn't you hear about 'Wu Bang', Brother Li?"

  Guo Yi had heard Ji You Ran mention "Wu Bang" several times, and he could tell that she was very much looking forward to him entering the "Wu Bang", which seemed to be a symbol of strength.

  Li Yuan listened to Guo Yao's words and suddenly said solemnly, "The 'Wu Bang' is a list for all the warriors in the world who have not broken through the mortal body. No one knows how many people are on the 'Wu Bang', but once you're on it, there will be a mysterious power that will leave an imprint on your body."

  "On top of having your own ranking, you can also look up other people's rankings. In short, this seal is the ranking list of 'Wu Bang'."

  "Even if you transcend the mortal realm and become a spirit, this mark will not disappear. It is not only a symbol of glory, but also proof of one's potential."

  Guo Yi felt that "Wu Bang" was really mysterious and unpredictable, and asked: "What is this mysterious power after all?"

  "Some say it's an immortal from the fairy realm, others say it's a strand of law between heaven and earth, and so on. There are many different opinions, but no one can really verify it."

  Guo Yi still had doubts: "Since entering the 'Martial Arts Ranking', one would naturally know the ranking on the 'Martial Arts Ranking'. Why doesn't anyone in the world know how many people have entered the 'Martial Arts Ranking'?"

  Li Yuan shook his head and sighed, "The population of the world is so vast, and the number of martial artists is countless. Even if we select one person from a billion martial artists to enter the 'Martial Arts Rankings', that's still a huge number."

  Moreover, the "Martial Ranking" has no limit on the number of people, as long as you have reached its requirements, you can appear on the list. Moreover, if someone breaks through to become a spirit or dies, they will automatically disappear from the "Martial Ranking", so the number of people on the "Martial Ranking" is also constantly changing.

  After becoming a spirit, the imprint of "Wu Bang" will not disappear, but it must disappear from "Wu Bang", because you are no longer a warrior, but a spirit.

  "It is said that those who possess the 'Martial Chart' imprint can cultivate at a faster speed than others, and after becoming a Spirit, they can even kill across realms, fighting power equivalent to being several realms higher than themselves."

  Guo Yi fell silent, and Li Yuan smiled and patted Guo Yi's shoulder, saying: "It's not easy to enter the 'Wu Bang', in the entire Youjin City, there are millions of Wu Sheng, these geniuses are all one-in-a-million figures, but out of so many people, less than ten have obtained the 'Wu Bang' imprint. These people's combat strength is extremely terrifying, even spirits can't kill them. Among those who rank high, they can even counter-kill spirits."

  Guo Yi sighed: "The spirits have already transcended the mortal body, crossed the gate of cultivation, and stepped onto the path of cultivation. The strong ones on the 'Martial Board' can actually fight with these people, it's really too frightening. If there's a chance, I'll definitely go see these 'Martial Board' masters."

  Guo Yan smiled calmly: "The 'Martial Ranking' can only be challenged by a Martial Saint, let's first cultivate to become a Martial Saint and then enter the Sealed City to compete with these people."

  "Right! Let's drink! One day we brothers will also rush into the 'Martial Arts Ranking List' and trample these people under our feet."

  Kuo Yeh and Li Yuan drank together, both of their hearts filled with a thousand feet of heroic passion.
