Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start Chapter 93: Chapter 90: Comprehensive Improvement (3000 word

```

Boom!

With a blast erupting from within Gu Chen's body, his whole fra shuddered as countless droplets of fresh blood spattered from his skin, staining his clothes red.

Yet there was not the slightest trace of pain on Gu Chen's face; his expression remained eerily calm.

At this mont, the number of ridians inside his body had reached seventy-nine.

Like a long river, his internal energy surged through his body. Gu Chen composed his mind and, with a burst of effort, once again charged toward the next ridian.

Without the passage-opening pill, it was extrely difficult to forge new ridians at Gu Chen's level, but fortunately, the panel helped him improve his cultivation. The robust internal energy coursed through the seventy-nine ridians. Under Gu Chen's command, it seed to transform into a drill bit, striking toward the eightieth ridian.

Boom!

The eightieth ridian was penetrated, and once again, blood erupted from all over Gu Chen's body. His flesh, comparable to a low-grade magic weapon, was turned to such a state, which indicates the ferocity of the internal impact.

If it had not been for the Horizontal Training technique reaching perfection, sounding like the roar of dragons and the cry of tigers, Gu Chen would never have dared to act so recklessly.

Although he had unblocked eighty ridians, as the internal energy circulated within, he still felt a vague sense of heaviness—the result of excessively thick internal energy stretching the ridians to bulge.

Gu Chen's brow furrowed slightly. In the next second, rather than giving up, he maneuvered his internal energy and once more charged at another ridian.

Boom!

It was like being struck by a thunderbolt, and for an instant, Gu Chen lost his senses, his mind went completely blank, a void.

He didn't know how much ti had passed before Gu Chen's consciousness slowly returned. He felt the flow of his internal energy and no longer encountered any prior sense of blockage or heaviness. A slight smile appeared on his face.

At this mont, a total of eighty-one ridians had been unblocked within Gu Chen's body. These eighty-one ridians were like a series of expressways, allowing his mighty internal energy to run wild within him.

The more ridians unblocked in the Through-ridian Stage, the more the cultivator's physical body is nourished in return. Gu Chen felt that his body, which had beco comparable to a magic weapon after reaching perfection in the Horizontal Training technique, seed to have grown slightly stronger.

Gu Chen could feel it—eighty-one ridians were his limit in the Through-ridian Stage. He could not continue to forge ahead. His internal energy was brimming, threatening to break through his body.

Imdiately afterward, Gu Chen had a thought and opened the panel.

Na: Gu Chen

Martial arts: Horizontal Training (perfection), Red Fla Palm (perfection), Seal ridian Finger (major achievent), Phantom Traceless Step (minor achievent), Astonishing Swan Swordsmanship Skills (perfection)

Internal technique: Pure Yang Technique

Cultivation age: 240 years

Realm: Complete Through-ridian Stage

Skill points: 91

"I've finally reached the complete Through-ridian Stage..." Gu Chen exhaled softly. Eighty-one ridians—it can be said that this was a number unprecedented in the Nine Provinces, and very likely unsurpassed by future generations.

No one could unblock so many ridians at the Through-ridian Stage, surpassing the recorded limit of the Through-ridian Stage by a full twenty-five ridians.

Should this news spread, the entire Nine Provinces would be shaken, and Gu Chen's fa would even overshadow the Six Union God Sect's return to the martial world, becoming the foremost person in the Through-ridian Stage throughout the history of the Nine Provinces.

Even the vast majority of Outer Qi Stage martial artists couldn't match the number of ridians Gu Chen had unblocked.

At this mont, Gu Chen's foundation in the Through-ridian Stage was incredibly solid. In fact, his internal energy inside was so full that it seed to be leaking out of his body. With just a thought, Gu Chen's internal energy could break out of his skin and push through to the Outer Qi Stage.

Boom!

As soon as the thought arose, Gu Chen's vigorous internal energy burst forth from his body, forming a tiny whirlpool in the palm of his hand.

"So this is the Outer Qi Stage?"

Gu Chen looked at the whirlpool in his palm. The external control of internal energy was much more challenging than when inside the body, but with just a little effort, Gu Chen was able to manipulate his internal energy as if it were his own limb, extrely smoothly.

"Go!"

With a light tap of his finger, Gu Chen turned his internal energy into an almost imperceptible thin line, shooting it out a full ten feet.

Sharpening internal energy into such a fine line is a true test of a martial artist's control over it. Gu Chen had just broken through to the Outer Qi Stage and was already capable of this feat, which showcased his extraordinary talent.

After the internal energy extended beyond ten feet, Gu Chen felt a strain, struggling to control it precisely.

Moreover, if it went too far without additional support, the internal energy would dissipate into the air and earth.

Although he had just beco an Outer Qi Stage martial artist, Gu Chen was still aware of the basic knowledge of externalizing internal energy.

The fact that he could extend his internal energy out a full ten feet upon his initial breakthrough far exceeded many early-stage Outer Qi martial artists.

Bear in mind, martial artists just entering the Outer Qi Stage can barely coalesce their internal energy on the surface of their bodies, with only a few capable of extending it outwardly, but no one could match Gu Chen in extending his internal energy a full ten feet upon breakthrough.

Only so mid-stage Outer Qi martial artists with deep cultivation could accomplish this.

Then, Gu Chen attempted to externalize his internal energy in front of him, forming a wall of Qi. This was a defense commonly used by all Outer Qi Stage martial artists.

But the thickness of his Qi wall far surpassed that of ordinary Outer Qi martial artists—Evil Heart Sect's Lv Ming included.

After completing his trial, Gu Chen reined in his scattered thoughts. He did not allow himself to grow arrogant because of his achievents.

```

```

After all, be it the Channeling Stage or the External Energy Stage, compared to the vastness of Jiuzhou, they are hardly worth ntioning.

As Qi Zhen has said, a genius who has yet to grow is not truly a genius.

Even the number one on the Star Ranking could only be considered as having a bit of fa in the entire martial world, but is far from catching the eyes of real powerhouses.

Only by breaking through the External Energy Stage to reach the sixth stage of the martial path, the Vajra Stage, can one be considered a top-notch expert and officially join the ranks of Jiuzhou's mighty.

The current Gu Chen, in the eyes of the whole world, can barely be considered as a second-rate practitioner.

It is precisely because he understands this that, even though Gu Chen has far surpassed the limit in the Channeling Stage, he has not grown the slightest bit arrogant.

Many practitioners with great talent and major progress in the Channeling Stage, once reaching the Vajra Stage, beco listless and their rate of breakthrough slows down.

The cultivation of martial arts emphasizes accumulation and is a task of repetition and refinent; no one can achieve it overnight.

Even with the help of the panel, Gu Chen couldn't just Ascend to Heaven in one step.

Looking at the remaining ninety-one points of rit on the panel, Gu Chen had a thought and sixteen points of rit were used up while Seal ridian Finger moved from the grand proficiency realm to perfection, and the corresponding martial arts experience was infused into Gu Chen's mind.

After Seal ridian Finger reached perfection, the words "can be deduced" appeared next to this martial art, similar to Red Fla Palm on the panel.

Without hesitation, having had prior experience, twelve points of rit disappeared from the panel, while the martial experience corresponding to these two martial arts appeared in his mind, intermingling and fusing, separating the wheat from the chaff, as new martial experience erged continuously.

Soon, a new martial art was deduced to completion.

This new martial art, nad Burning Vein Finger, is a mid-grade martial art that inherits the benefits of the Red Fla Palm and Seal ridian Finger. With a single press, the fiery force of the finger can seal ridians and scorch the body, causing the one struck to feel as if all five viscera are burning.

Looking at the remaining sixty-three points of rit, Gu Chen had a thought and thirty-five points disappeared as Burning Vein Finger was imdiately brought by Gu Chen to perfection.

A large amount of martial experience poured into him in an instant, causing Gu Chen to furrow his brows slightly, feeling a bit of swelling in his mind, which took a good while before easing.

Subsequently, Gu Chen spent another twenty-four points of rit to bring the Phantom Traceless Step to the perfection realm.

As this step technique reached perfection, Gu Chen felt his legs beco even more agile, and his entire being seed to have the sensation of soaring into the air.

With every step on the ground, his body felt incredibly light, as if stepping on tufts of cotton, as though a light leap could send him soaring into the sky.

At this mont, there were only four points of rit left on Gu Chen's panel.

With a thought, these four points of rit were added to his cultivation level.

The reason he did not choose to allocate all the points to his cultivation was that, with Gu Chen's current prowess, his martial realm was struggling to keep up; thus, this ti, he chose to enhance several martial arts first.

After all, no matter how profound one's internal power is, without corresponding martial arts to unleash it, its full potential cannot be realized.

Na: Gu Chen

Martial Arts: Dragon Roar Tiger Shout Horizontal Training (perfection), Burning Vein Finger (perfection), Phantom Traceless Step (perfection), Astonishing Swan Swordsmanship Skills (perfection)

Internal Skill: Pure Yang Technique

Cultivation Age: 244 years

Realm: Early External Energy Stage

rit Points: 0

Thus, one hundred and ten points of rit were used up, and looking at the panel with several martial arts reaching the realm of perfection, Gu Chen nodded in satisfaction.

Once the mission is over and he returns to the Jing Tian Departnt, Chen Yu had promised him a private reward, which Gu Chen was also looking forward to.

Given that Chen Yu is a commander of the Jing Tian Departnt, he is sure not to be stingy, and at the very least, it will be a high-grade martial art.

With this thought, Gu Chen was filled with even more anticipation.

The next day, Gu Chen went to the Drunken Phoenix Tower to have a al, and afterward, he would leave Phoenix Sun City to return to Tiandu.

By today, who doesn't recognize the number one on the Star Ranking, Gu Chen? His dining at the Drunken Phoenix Tower naturally attracted a lot of attention, but no one dared to co up and disturb him, instead they watched stealthily from a distance.

Even so won with beautiful and delicate appearances frequently cast admiring, shy glances toward Gu Chen.

All this Gu Chen was naturally aware of, but he didn't pay any attention to it; he just felt that once famous, it can be rather troubleso, and now he understood why those celebrities from his previous life would wrap themselves up so tightly when they went out, finding the feeling of being constantly under scrutiny quite unfavorable.

Gu Chen sat by the window, looking out at the view while eating the local delicacies of Phoenix Sun City, when he suddenly rembered the Luo Feng he had t in Huaiyang City.

At that mont, a servant of the Drunken Phoenix Tower approached with a smile and respectfully said, "Sir, this is a dish that our owner has specially added for you, one of the specialties of the Drunken Wind Tower. Please have a taste, sir."

Not far away, the owner of the Drunken Wind Tower stood with a smile, bowing to Gu Chen when he saw him looking over.

Gu Chen nodded in acknowledgent, then picked up his chopsticks and tasted the dish, but the mont he did, his expression changed abruptly and he spat it out imdiately.

Seeing this, the servant of the Drunken Wind Tower, puzzled, said, "Sir, what's wrong? Is the dish not to your liking?"

Gu Chen said gravely, "There's poison in this dish."
