Rumors abounded.
So Gold Elent Martial Arts Grandmasters, especially Sword Dao experts, who interact closely with Divine Weapons and swords, would gradually accumulate a substantial amount of "Golden Dust" in their bodies.
In ancient tis, it was called Geng tal Qi.
Geng tal Energy was incomparably sharp. If it was concentrated enough and one’s Cultivation was high enough, they could breathe out Sword Qi, able to cut through gold and break jade, killing people unseen.
This "Swallow Gold" was clearly an extrely low-end version of "Breathing Sword."
Lu Chenzhou’s muscles trembled, his chest heaved with breath, Qi-Blood surged, and he channeled the weak Golden Dust within his body to his throat with the power of Qi-Blood. For a mont, it was as if blades were slicing through his throat, causing even himself so raw pain.
"Ha!"
Lu Chenzhou spewed out an invisible qi blade onto an ordinary wooden post, like ejecting jujube core nails. Accompanied by a shrill slicing sound, the wooden post fell in response.
"Eh, not bad for power."
He had thought at best it would be good enough to burst a balloon.
"However, the bodies of Martial Artists are much stronger than wooden posts, not to ntion those who have cross-trained. The power of this Geng tal Sword Qi still needs to be enhanced."
Gradually, Lu Chenzhou ca to an understanding.
Fire Elent has "Scorching Heat," Wood Elent has "Tiger Whisker," Earth Elent has "Earth Splitting," Wind Elent has "Wind Step," Thunder Elent has "Thunderclap"...
Not counting the Water Elent, he had already collected all the Tiger Form’s special effects.
The Tiger Form school did not involve the Water Elent.
Lu Chenzhou looked at the Heavenly Destiny Mystic Tiger Divine Seed.
"Only seven more to gather enough for the advancent to Fifth Rank. Once I finish the other Second Class Tiger Form Fist Techniques, it should be about right. As for the First Class Fist Techniques, there are only a few, so I can directly cultivate the ’Tiger Roar Mountain River Fist.’"
True Skill cultivation could not be neglected.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to enhance the Boxing Realm.
"Tiger Mountain River Boxing," he had long been looking forward to it.
How would it compare to his own Heavenly Destiny Mystic Tiger Fist?
In the days to co, Lu Chenzhou’s routine was fixed, seen daily only in the Practice Room, Chen Jiu’s ho, and the Myriad Volu Pavilion—nowhere else.
Li Gui initially worried Lu Chenzhou had started True Skill cultivation too late and wouldn’t be able to keep up in combat, but then the youngster snatched a top three place in the trial, fierce as anything.
He was completely reassured and stopped nagging Lu Chenzhou.
...
December arrived quietly.
One day.
Inside Lu Chenzhou, a robust stream of Tai Sui Sha Qi circulated through a Grand Circulation. After passing the refined energy of the Qian Gu Acupoint, it suddenly gave birth to a wisp of faint red qi. This qi was unfathomably mysterious, surging through the ridians into Lu Chenzhou’s Mud Pill Palace, manifesting in his Sea of Consciousness as an ethereal mini Tiger Tai Sui figure.
At the sa ti.
Among the 49 opened Acupoints, a mighty torrent of Qi-Blood erged. Lu Chenzhou’s aura visibly strengthened. Muscles, body, and the mysterious powers of his organs trembled and moaned in utmost comfort, warm qi turned to white steam and rose.
Soon.
The Practice Room was shrouded in clouds and mist.
Lu Chenzhou opened the window to let in so air.
He looked towards the Martial Arts Tree.
[Tiger Demon Tai Sui Technique: Second Layer (1%)]
"After just over nine months, I’ve finally cultivated it. Each advancent of Inner Strength becos more challenging. The ’Dragon Elephant Heaven Lifting Technique,’ with its 21 layers, increases exponentially in difficulty, and even the likes of Cangtian Dragon King might not have cultivated it."
Lu Chenzhou braced himself ntally.
His comprehension was improving anyway, so it wasn’t a big problem.
As the difficulty increased, so did the benefits.
The teacher said that upon reaching the Second Layer, one’s Qi-Blood Value would increase by a minimum of 7 points.
So geniuses could enhance even more, with up to 10 points being possible.
If converted into Martial Arts Proficiency, it ant that for every 1% increase in proficiency, Lu Chenzhou’s Qi-Blood would increase by 0.07 to 0.1 points, which was considerable. Compared to the Qi-Blood increase from martial techniques, it was indeed far more significant.
Lu Chenzhou headed to the Qi Blood asurent Room.
A magnetic male voice resounded:
[Congratulations, your Qi Blood Value has reached 20 points. In the Martial Arts Cultivation, you’ve further ascended, just 5 points away from the End Realm. Keep up the good work...]
"Did this machine get another update? Now it is the voice of Wanshixian."
In half a year, his Qi-Blood had increased by 10 points. Apart from the enhancent from fist techniques and Acupoints, the first layer of Inner Strength alone had increased it by 6 points, whereas the standard increase was 4 points.
"Not bad."
Lu Chenzhou visited Li Gui’s villa.
During this period, Li Gui was also striving for a Breakthrough Third.
Sensing Lu Chenzhou’s surging aura, Li Gui asked:
"Have you already cultivated the First Layer?"
"Yes."
"Over nine months..."
It had taken him three years.
Alas, it was undeniable.
Martial Arts Geniuses were strong in every aspect.
Li Gui asked:
"Did you sense the Tai Sui’s Evil Energy?"
Lu Chenzhou replied:
"There’s a wisp of faint red qi, hidden in the Mud Pill Palace, transford into a Tiger Tai Sui."
Li Gui explained:
"That’s the Tai Sui’s Evil Energy. Once the evil energy reaches your brain, your Sixth Sense or intuition will significantly improve, which is very useful for predicting moves and sensing danger. I’ll teach you how to strengthen this wisp of evil qi, aiming to cultivate the Second Layer within two years."
...
Ti passed quickly, and soon the end of the year approached.
The turmoil at Taihu had cald down. With the death of Dao Long, the protector, the Holy Master Sect’s influence in Su City was eradicated, temporarily resolving a major threat.
Unfortunately, the other three parties were still hidden deep.
Especially Tang Zheng, who seed to have vanished from the Human World.
On New Year’s Day, Principal Wang returned to the school.
Lu Chenzhou imdiately went to offer his greetings.
With a smile, Principal Wang asked:
"Isn’t today your birthday?"
Lu Chenzhou nodded.
Principal Wang continued:
"Then I’ll call upon Wang Xian, and you invite the other sect. Let’s gather at my house for a al. It’s a sect tradition to et once a year. It doesn’t delay cultivation."
