Unfettered Retribution: Slaughtering My Way through the World Chapter 124 - 108: Ascending the Human List! True Qi Breakth

The martial world was in an uproar!

In a hidden location.

Inside a towering pavilion.

Spirit Doves, each carrying a different ssage, flew in and out.

Several strangely dressed figures were gathered in the attic, examining the reports before them...

Without exception.

They were all about Chen Xuan.

"Chen Xuan... six months ago, he was just a commoner. Facing oppression from the local Tiger Gang, his father was beaten, his mother fell ill from distress, and his sister threw herself down a well and died... Later, the Tiger Gang threw his entire family into a sea of fire. He miraculously survived, and from that mont on, it was as if he had beco a different person... Perhaps he had a fortuitous encounter soti before. Having survived the disaster, he suddenly awakened his potential, and his strength began to advance by leaps and bounds..."

An old man stared at the nurous reports, quickly summarizing them.

"From his rise in the martial world to defeating a Human List expert, it has been less than half a year. With such strength, he can be ranked ninetieth on the Human List!"

"Indeed, I agree!"

"This Chen Xuan must have quite a few secrets... To transform so quickly in just half a year is a rare sight in the martial world..."

"Of course. But which expert on the Human List doesn’t have secrets of their own?"

"If no one has any objections, we can send out the news!"

"No objections!"

"No objections!"

The figures responded one after another.

Soon, special Spirit Doves shot out from the pavilion, flying off in all directions.

These Spirit Doves were bred specifically for sending ssages.

They could fly for sixteen hours a day!

In two hours, they could cover five hundred li.

In less than two days, the news would spread throughout the entire dynasty.

Sure enough.

Chen Xuan had barely received the True Qi thod from the Alliance Leader when news of the change to the Human List had already spread across all the great prefectures...

Na: Chen Xuan

Ranking: 90th on the Human List!

Accomplishnts: Began practicing Martial Arts less than half a year ago and progressed by leaps and bounds. His fists shake the eight directions. He resolved the nightly chaos of the Red Sand Gang, single-handedly killing several masters at the Transforming Force Ninth Layer. Afterward, with the strength of the Transforming Force Ninth Layer, he entered the Twelve Alliances and killed Elder Li Canghai of the Gang Energy Realm. After cultivating in the Twelve Alliances for less than a month, he forcefully reached the Gang Energy Ninth Layer and defeated ’Cold Frost Sword’ Su Wanqing. He repays kindness and vengeance with equal swiftness, acting freely and without restraint. His talent is a rarity in this world.

Nickna: Iron-faced Yama!

Martial Arts: Unknown (Suspected Horizontal Training, unknown Fire Attribute fist technique)

Appraisal: A hidden dragon soars from the abyss, its scales and claws taking flight. A young tiger roars in the valley, terrifying all the beasts!

...

This single piece of news sent shockwaves through countless factions and martial artists.

Innurable people were stunned.

However, at this very mont, within the Twelve Alliances, Chen Xuan had no idea that he had already been placed on the Human List.

「Sunset. The rear mountain area.」

He was sitting cross-legged on his bed, rapidly flipping through a dark yellow book in his hands.

Molten Fire Forging Gold Skill!

In about the ti it takes to drink half a cup of tea, he had already skimd through the entire True Qi Heart thod, committing its contents to mory.

’As expected of a unique thod for condensing True Qi.’

The knowledge and principles contained within were beyond imagination.

Without the guidance of this unique thod, even with his panel, he would probably have had to spend countless retribution points to deduce it.

In a word,

Gang Energy and True Qi were two completely different types of energy.

Gang Energy still fell within the domain of the physical body, a manifestation of post-natal power trained to its absolute limit.

True Qi, on the other hand, was already considered Innate.

To condense Gang Energy into True Qi, one had to reverse the post-natal to reach the Innate!

It sounded simple, but in reality, the barriers one had to overco were progressively more difficult.

Chen Xuan took the pale golden Spirit dicine from his robes and imdiately began to gnaw on it. A rich fragrance mixed with a faint bitterness spread across his tongue. In just a few bites, he had completely consud the Spirit dicine.

’Retribution points, upgrade the Molten Fire Forging Gold Skill!’

After swallowing the Spirit dicine, he recited the command in his mind.

[DING! You have consud 10,000 retribution points and have begun deducing the Molten Fire Forging Gold Skill. Detecting the potent dicinal properties of the Spirit dicine in your body, your Cultivation Speed has reached a staggering 300 tis the normal rate!]

[You feel the Gang Energy within you boiling. Strands of powerful Gang Energy seem to transform into fiery hot steel. Although this steel has always provided you with astonishing strength, you know that it also limits your developnt. If you wish to advance even further, you must convert all of this fiery Gang Energy into True Qi...]

[Fortunately, after arduous cultivation, you have finally grasped a part of the technique!]

[Without hesitation, you consu another 15,000 retribution points. The Gang Energy in your body begins to boil even more intensely. The fiery hot steel seems to lt, gradually turning into searing molten iron. This molten iron is the True Qi you have so desperately sought!]

[You are overjoyed. To accelerate the condensation of True Qi, you pour in another 15,000 retribution points. Finally, the steel lts even faster, and a completely new and powerful force begins to slowly spread throughout your body...]

[Congratulations, Host! You have reached the True Qi First Layer!]

[Molten Fire Forging Gold Skill has reached the First Heaven!]

BOOM!

Waves of powerful and terrifying True Qi fluctuations instantly surged forth from within Chen Xuan’s body. Vast and mighty, the energy was as thick and potent as molten iron, forming a unique cycle through the many ridians and acupoints in his body.

If the previous Gang Energy was a coarse and chaotic power scattered throughout his flesh, blood, sinews, and bones, then the current True Qi was a perfect cycle, flowing strictly along its unique ridians.

In fact, with every full circulation of his True Qi, Chen Xuan felt as if his physical body was being recharged.

Not only could it resist hunger and fatigue, but it also possessed astonishing destructive power.
