"Master is really pitiful." At this moment, Lulu, in Huang Yu's mind, watched him being beaten up and couldn't help but cover her eyes, muttering softly, as if she couldn't bear to watch.

Huang Yu was beaten to the point of being unrecognizable. Even though he had learned many boxing techniques, such as military boxing, Arhat boxing, and Xingyi boxing, he couldn't use any of them. The six people were his own shadows, and they could use the same techniques. He couldn't withstand them all; blocking one meant he couldn't block the others.

So, during this time, he was beaten very badly, with no way to fight back.

"Damn it, how can I be beaten so helplessly by my own shadows?" Huang Yu roared in his heart. What should he do? What should he do?

Punch after punch, Huang Yu was knocked down, but he quickly got up. Before he could stand steady, he was knocked down again.

Strength, speed, technique—could it be that, without his true essence energy, he was so weak and vulnerable?

No, it was absolutely impossible.

Consciousness, what is combat consciousness?

Combat consciousness is an instinct. In battle, it's the instinct to counterattack, and in danger, it's the instinct to move. It happens instantly, which is what biology calls a reflex, a conditioned reflex, a self-protective reflex formed later in life.

Combat consciousness is an instinct, an instinctive reaction. When facing an enemy's attack, it gradually forms an instinctive attack or defense. This is combat consciousness.

Or, before the battle even begins, predicting the opponent's actions, realizing what the opponent will do—this is also a kind of consciousness, a combat consciousness.

Now, to form combat consciousness, to form an instinctive combat consciousness, he had to remember, let his body remember, let the cells in his body, his nerves, remember these attacks, and then form a reflex. This meant enduring, enduring the pain, remembering the attacks, and then forming an instinct when attacked.

This kind of memory wasn't about letting the brain remember, but the body. If the brain remembered, it would need time to react and process. Without the brain, it was an instinct, and this instinctive reaction was much faster.

"Persist, I must persist." Huang Yu gritted his teeth. As long as he could persist and keep countering, in the end, his body would definitely remember these attacks and form an instinctive combat consciousness.

After being knocked down countless times, Huang Yu finally began to have the strength to counterattack, punch after punch, another punch.

Huang Yu didn't know how many times he had been knocked down. His whole body was numb, and he no longer thought about anything. His mind was completely blank, thinking of nothing, needing to think of nothing. He fell into an extremely subtle state, the legendary state of self-forgetfulness.

In this state, Huang Yu didn't use his mind to command his body but relied on instinct, constantly dodging and attacking the enemy.

One shadow was knocked down, then another.

Two.

Three.

Four were knocked down.

Five.

Six.

An hour later, all the shadows were knocked down, turning into points of starlight and disappearing into the air.

He succeeded.

The fifth level was also passed.

After a long time, Huang Yu finally came out of this subtle state.

Looking at everything around him, the messy arena, and the entrance leading up, Huang Yu knew he had successfully broken through the fifth level, truly opening the path to the sixth level.

...

...

"Impossible."

"He broke through, he broke through the fifth level."

"Unbelievable, he actually broke through the fifth level."

"Unbelievable."

"Genius, Qishui City is about to rise."

"The Divine Stone Pavilion is about to rise."

"Too much exposure is not a good thing."

"Trees that stand out are sure to be broken by the wind."

"As long as he doesn't die, he will surely reach the peak and become a peak powerhouse in the True Martial Continent."

"Too many geniuses have died, will he be the next?"

Guxin looked at the names on the Lingyun Tower. Huang Yu's name had already entered the boundary between the fifth and sixth levels, meaning he had broken through the fifth level, becoming the only person in a hundred years to break through the fifth level of the Heavenly Passage List.

Guxin found that her heart was completely occupied by this person. Although they had just met and just gotten to know each other, in such a short time, Guxin was already unable to extricate herself, finding it hard to believe, but it was the truth. Looking at the name on the Lingyun Tower, Guxin felt a sense of pride. This was the person she liked, the person she loved.

She had thought no man could enter her heart, but love came so suddenly and was so sweet.

"I wonder how far he can go? Can he break through the sixth level?" Guxin thought, looking at the flickering name.

...

...

The Liu Family.

"What? That little brat is so powerful? He has already broken into the fifth level of the Heavenly Passage List?" At this moment, the Liu Family didn't know that Huang Yu had already passed the fifth level, but even so, Liu Guangming was both shocked and angry, determined to kill that young man, or else the Liu Family would have endless troubles.

A genius who harbors grudges and hatred against the Liu Family is truly a source of constant worry.

"Impossible, impossible, how can that little brat be so powerful?" Liu Sanbian was even more agitated upon hearing this news. He had lost face in front of Huang Yu and hated him to the bone. This time, hearing that Huang Yu was so powerful, breaking through the fourth level of the Heavenly Passage List and entering the fifth level, his talent was astonishing, unmatched in the entire Qishui City.

"Kill him, Brother Guangming, you must kill him." Liu Sanbian shouted hysterically.

"Don't worry, he won't live through tonight." A cold light flashed in Liu Guangming's eyes. "Someone, go and monitor him. Report any situation to me immediately, no, report to me every incense stick's time."

...

The Long Family.

"I knew it, I knew Huang Brother was not an ordinary person. I didn't expect him to be so powerful, breaking through the fifth level of the Heavenly Passage List, amazing." Long Dou was overjoyed upon hearing the news, slapping the table.

"Dou'er, is this Huang Yu the one you mentioned?" Long Zhu, Long Dou's father, asked from the side.

"Yes, Father, it's him. At the Divine Stone Pavilion, he opened a thousand-year-old jade heart and won against Liu Sanbian and Liu Guangming." Long Dou nodded and said.

"Good, very good. Dou'er, go to the Lingyun Tower immediately, no, take two Long Guards. The Liu Family will not let him grow. Take the Long Guards to protect him. Such a genius must be befriended. When he grows up, it will be a great benefit to our Long Family. Perhaps, the opportunity for our Long Family to rise is coming." Long Zhu immediately slapped the table and said to his son, Long Dou.

"Yes, Father, I will go immediately."

...

"Having passed the fifth level, what will the sixth level be?" Huang Yu looked at the entrance to the sixth level. He no longer felt the previous tension but was filled with fighting spirit. He had already won, so what was there to worry about, what was there to fear?

Huang Yu had strong confidence about the upcoming sixth level, a confidence that came from his soul.

With a determined step, Huang Yu entered the entrance to the sixth level.

"The sixth level is true combat," Lulu said.

"Whatever it is, I don't care. I can face it, I can overcome it." Huang Yu smiled confidently and said.

"Good, Master must be careful. This time, Master will face wolves, five thousand earth wolves, and Master's strength is only at the Qi Practitioner stage."

"Five thousand earth wolves, that's all." Huang Yu didn't show any fear. After all, that was five thousand earth wolves, and his cultivation was suppressed to the Qi Practitioner stage. Even at the Innate stage, facing five thousand earth wolves would mean certain death, exhausted to death. Unless you could escape, find a chance to escape, which was clearly impossible here because the space was limited, and it was a challenge. In this challenge, only the last person standing on the field would be the winner. To eliminate five thousand earth wolves in a direct confrontation, one's cultivation would need to reach at least the Human Embryo stage, or even the Essence Spirit stage.

Therefore, this challenge for Huang Yu was a much greater one compared to the previous ones.

As soon as he stepped in, Huang Yu felt the threat of death. The dense pack of wolves, with their eyes seemingly beautiful but deadly, signaled mortal danger.

"Roar..."

It was pitch black, with only the howls of wolves.

Huang Yu's appearance instantly made the wolves find their target. Without any hesitation, they began a frenzied attack, with seven or eight earth wolves pouncing.

"Kill..."

Huang Yu roared, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, like the brightest star in the dark night.

A punch, a powerful blow to the first wolf, instantly sending it flying and knocking down several others.

Punches and kicks.

Under the attack of countless earth wolves, Huang Yu used the simplest and most violent means, each punch and kick hitting its mark, with no extra movements. Everything was so simple, so violent, so bloody. In a few breaths, dozens of earth wolves had died under Huang Yu's punches and kicks.

But the death of these earth wolves did not make them retreat; instead, it aroused their wildness and ferocity.

The smell of blood grew stronger, and Huang Yu attacked tirelessly, swinging his fists.

Wolves pounced without fear, one after another, being knocked down and killed, one after another.

Five minutes later, a hundred wolves were killed.

Ten minutes later, three hundred wolves were killed.

Half an hour later, a thousand wild wolves were killed.

An hour later, Huang Yu was exhausted, having killed nearly three thousand wild wolves.

Huang Yu's body was covered in blood and wounds.
