Chapter 706: Chapter 706

"Jiang Dali [Black Wind Village Chief (Heavenly Human Realm Big Boss), Qi-Blood 54500/54500, Inner Strength 53000/53000 [Great Strength Divine Skill +50%] [Golden Bell Unbreakable Body] (Heavenly Thunder Baptism) [Qilin Blood 0.1%]]"

His Qi-Blood had risen by about fifteen thousand since the breakthrough, and his Inner Strength had also increased by nine thousand points, which was almost the Power of half a jiazi.

Such a remarkable increase was clearly not just the result of the Heaven and Earth Energy fortifying his body during the Realm advancement.

More likely, it was the power of Heavenly Thunder that had forged his body.

Moreover, the Golden Bell Unbreakable Body now had an additional state effect of a Heavenly Thunder Baptism.

Jiang Dali guessed that this might signify that his body had already undergone the Heavenly Thunder Baptism and that the likelihood of encountering a Heavenly Tribulation in the future would greatly decrease.

And even if he encountered a Heavenly Tribulation again, since his body had already undergone a Heavenly Thunder Baptism and possessed a certain resistance, the destructive power of the Heavenly Tribulation against him would be significantly reduced.

Thus, one could say that this voluntary challenge of the Heavenly Tribulation was a blessing in disguise after surviving a great danger.

Jiang Dali did not know how many in the Mixed Martial Arts World had experienced the Heavenly Tribulation like he had.

But he was absolutely certain that those who survived would be few and far between.

He recalled the extreme dangers of the previous day.

Had it not been for the six Medicine Pearls containing thousand-year-old yellow ginseng juice in his mouth, and the Dragon Energy that interfered and weakened some of the Thunder Power, even with the state of "Golden Bell Unbreakable," he might have been struck dead by the Heavenly Thunder.

How many others in the Martial World could have a body as tough as Vajra, and also possess the thousand-year-old yellow ginseng juice and Dragon Energy like him?

"The path against heaven is fraught with death, with little chance for life!

No wonder... no wonder even those as strong as the Sweeping Monk, the old eunuch, and others would rather give up easily obtained wealth and power, willingly live in anonymity and seclusion to avoid tribulation.

Among them, there may indeed be some who have truly let go, not caring for worldly fame and fortune, but there are definitely those who have taken such measures out of a desire for an extended and peaceful life."

Jiang Dali thought to himself; he slowly clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking with a ’krack-pop’ sound, squeezing the air in his palms, causing a series of explosions.

After the Heavenly Tribulation of yesterday, his understanding of the use of Cultivation Techniques such as the Golden Bell Unbreakable, Absorption Skill, Great Strength Divine Skill, and so on had deepened considerably.

At this moment, looking at the panel that still displayed over a hundred thousand Cultivation Points and more than three hundred thousand Potential Points.

Jiang Dali did not hesitate; he directly consumed all the Cultivation Points and over two hundred thousand Potential Points for a frenzied Martial Arts advancement.

Instantly, a vast amount of information integrated and classified in his mind as the Cultivation Points and Potential Points burnt away.

It then began to rapidly calculate and operate in his mind like Earth Bursting Golden Lotuses, colliding to produce various novel ideas that Jiang Dali either anticipated or were completely beyond his expectation.

Under such calculations, the Golden Bell Unbreakable was endowed with some new techniques and special effects, advancing directly to the 3rd Realm.

The Great Strength Divine Skill also advanced to the 8th Realm of Divine Transformation as a result, completely exhausting all of Jiang Dali’s Cultivation Points.

The advancement of these two Martial Arts inevitably led to another increase of 4000 points in Jiang Dali’s Qi-Blood and over 5000 in Inner Strength, turning him into an absolute Big Blood Bull.

This city, a major port located by the sea, was in the south.

It was within the territory of Yuan Country, a vassal state.

However, the Martial World is the Martial World, and the court is the court.

Many times, the government may not have absolute say over everything.

In the Martial World of Southern State, there was a force that the people of the Martial World feared and respected even more than Yuan Country’s Government.

That was Hero Island.

The "Punishment and Reward Envoys" from "Hero Island" would leave the island every ten years to come to the continental Martial World. They would issue copper tokens to the heads of various Sects that had gained fame in recent years, inviting them to the island to share a bowl of Laba Porridge.

If there were Sect Leaders who refused to go, they would face their sect’s extermination by the two Envoys.

To date, three batches of highly skilled Sect Leaders have been invited to Hero Island, subsequently vanishing without a trace.

This naturally made everyone in Yuan Country’s Martial World change color when Hero Island was mentioned.

Apart from the massive number of Players who hoped to join Hero Island and learn Divine Skills and secret manuals, no one from the Martial World dared to make contact with Hero Island.

Hero Island was like a mysterious island hidden beneath the sea.

To date, many Players had gone out to sea, but none had been able to find the island, let alone set foot on it.

As a result, some Players suspected that Hero Island was merely a Martial World legend, and not necessarily real.

Perhaps it was just some bored storyteller making things up, and it might not be credible.

Over time, apart from the local Martial Arts people,

Players had long since lost interest in the elusive Hero Island.

Now, inside and outside the Inner City of Sanshui, as well as around the port docks, the Players allied in the Yiqi Alliance bustled about, creating a lively scene.

Players wearing swords could be seen everywhere on the streets.

And at the corners of the streets, it was possible to see some Players who had come to escort valuable goods shouting out upon arrival, calling friends to drink and relax—a scene teeming with a mix of all sorts.

Sanshui City had three luxurious restaurants.

But the most popular was naturally the Lai Feng Restaurant.

Since this restaurant was located near the docks, it benefited from its prime location, becoming a place for many Martial Artists to indulge and lodge.

When the Players had extra money, they too liked to linger here, resting their feet and drinking, while also trying to glean news from some of the local Martial World people or perhaps trigger a quest.

However, on this day...

Suddenly, the streets of Sanshui City were filled with the thunderous footsteps of soldiers forming ranks.
