Chapter 287: Chapter 287
The battle with the Elite Level Martial Artist NPC earlier gave her a rough understanding of her physical strength: it’s already beyond Middle Tier monsters, approaching High Tier monsters. In fact, her real physical strength and speed have already surpassed the ultimate High-tier Martial Artist, but this isn’t shown in the system and requires a specific test to quantify how much she’s improved.
Moreover, because of the battle with Steel Bone, she gained new insights into the Second Layer of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique.
Simply using energy to reconstruct cell structures can already cause such a significant change in physical strength, but what if power is also integrated into it?
The sword skill she mastered after becoming Sword Saint is called Heaven-Defying.
This sword requires immense True Qi within oneself, allowing True Qi to fill the entire body, then compressing it onto this sword, so that the sharpness of the sword can slash the heavens and split the earth, cutting off the endless rivers.
Originally, she wasn’t really hopeful about recreating the Heaven-Defying move, after all, Qi and Blood Power doesn’t have such strength. It’s possible to convert it to power, but even if all her Qi and Blood were converted into power, it wouldn’t be much power—certainly not like the True Qi in Pilgrimage filling the entire body.
Previously, her body cells were too fragile to withstand powerful forces. Even after learning the First Layer of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique, using power required caution; a strong burst could make the body collapse.
But now, with a qualitative leap in body strength, she can fully attempt to integrate power, allowing her whole body to be filled with power, recreating the sword skill she has as Sword Saint. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
However, the current body strength is still not very safe. Breaking through to become a High-tier Martial Artist, further increasing Qi and Blood, would allow her to manipulate more energy, raising her body strength again, giving her a great chance to master Heaven-Defying.
With powerful body strength and the Heaven-breaking Sword as Sword Saint, challenging the BOSS across tiers isn’t impossible.
After the group agreed, the medium transport vehicle drove into the forest in front of the Wilderness, quietly venturing deeper under the leadership of Lu Fanchen.
During Lu Fanchen and the others’ entry into the Wilderness, news of Sharp Fang and Steel Bone’s deaths reached the ears of various powers in Chasing Light City.
"The Human Race is quite interesting; just after Liu Tianzong’s death, two young generation masters have emerged," a golden-haired gorilla, only over two meters tall and aged over fifty, looking at the data in hand, spoke in a neither cold nor warm tone, which imposed considerable pressure on an intermediate-stage Bone Forging Realm Ape Race expert who brought the information, as if a mountain weighed down upon him standing before this seemingly ordinary golden-haired gorilla.
"Are your Ape Race going to give up on Red Moon Town?" A Feather Race female with an elegant demeanor and two pairs of red wings asked, raising her eyebrows, "If you’re giving up, then Red Moon Town will belong entirely to our Feather Race. Although its location is rather close to Ten Thousand Stars City, it’s still a town with a Small Energy Ore Vein, suitable for many clansmen to live."
"Of course not," the golden-haired ape replied calmly, "Just Steel Bone and Sharp Fang are dead, and we aren’t suited for action; otherwise, each race will have opinions."
"Our hands are indeed tied," the elegant lady nodded in agreement, "But we can offer those three little monsters some benefits to deal with Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, which they likely won’t refuse, considering the two young talents there are quite skilled."
"Let’s not rush this," the golden-haired ape shook his head and tapped on his smart watch, "You should look at this first; this message came from Ten Thousand Stars City not long ago."
"Ten Thousand Stars City can’t sit still?" The elegant lady glanced at it, frowning slightly.
"Yes, the two people sent this time are no ordinary ones; one is the future Young Clan Leader of the Half-Beast Race, and the other is one of the top ten graduates from Ten Thousand Stars City this year, with the chance to take the Domain City exam later this year." The golden-haired ape nodded.
"This year, Ten Thousand Stars City is truly bursting with talents from the Half-Beast Race, ready to take the Domain City exam right after graduating from Genius Training Camp. Unfortunately, our Feather Race graduates fall short this year, still a bit from the Domain City requirements," the Feather Race matriarch sighed.
The Domain City exam is held only once a year, generally at the end, allowing Bone Forging Realm Martial Artists under thirty to participate, with those passing having a substantial chance of reaching that level, but only a few from major cities manage each year.
"My point is, let’s wait and see Ten Thousand Stars City’s stance, then decide our actions," the golden-haired ape suggested.
"Alright, we’re in no rush," the Feather Race matriarch did not object.
Chasing Light City, Martial Artist Association.
The morning sun rose.
A flying sedan entirely crafted from C-level alloy slowly stopped at the rooftop, catching the attention of passing martial artists.
Typical flying cars are made with B2-level alloy, luxurious ones with B6-level alloy, whereas using C-level alloy for a flying sedan is beyond the reach of even high-stage Bone Forging Realm Martial Artists. Such a flying sedan could withstand an airborne Lord Monster for quite some time—a luxury out of reach of ordinary Bone Forging Realm Martial Artists.
A man and a woman, both with beast ears, descended from the flying sedan: the man was handsome, the woman stunningly beautiful, both radiating such strong Qi and Blood, even Middle Stage Bone Forging Realm Martial Artists couldn’t compare.
"Brother, are we heading to Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall now?" Donna asked.
"Yes, let’s go early and wrap things up," Igor nodded, "However, I don’t know where Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is, so we need to find someone from the Association to guide us."
On the other side at Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, Basic Gravity Room.
With the Basic Gravity Room shaking violently, Lin Qi’s aura waned, his face pallid beyond words.
"Nearly died; I really don’t know how Luo Wushang trains. Is there a mistake with the Second Layer of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique?" Lin Qi’s face was grim as he recalled the inherited experience extracted from Luo Wushang, feeling that the Second Layer seemed a bit different from what he read.
The Second Layer of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique states to remodel cell structures with energy again, but the inheritance extracted from Luo Wushang included some power integration unexpectedly.
Fortunately, his recovery power was strong enough, having achieved Perfection in the First Layer earlier; otherwise, he wouldn’t have succeeded in training the Second Layer of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique.
