Chapter 287: 0198 Breaking Shackles, Martial Arts Are Not Solitary, My Path Is Not Lonely! (6k, asking for monthly ticket and subscription)_3

To better break the shackles with an improved mental state, under Chen Jiu’s suggestion, I temporarily suspended the training of the Golden Body Skill, spending each day practicing fists and reading Fist Theory books, occasionally fishing with Wu Zun, reflecting and summarizing the cultivation journey.

According to Qingtian Cang’s words,

this belonged to the "sedimentation" phase before becoming a Martial Artist.

This stage did not have a fixed time requirement. Every martial arts practitioner who felt well-settled might experience a moment similar to inspiration striking, the instant of sudden enlightenment—that was the best opportunity for a breakthrough!

February 22,

It had been two years since Lu Chenzhou joined Su City Dragon Martial. Qingtian Cang, Ji Xuantong, Li Gui, and Wu Zun, these four essential elders of his, had all come.

Li Gui asked,

"Are you ready?"

"Mm."

"Alright, I’ll wait for you at the door. Call me if you need anything. Oh, by the way, Hong Fu asked me to tell you... he has broken the second shackles and is waiting behind the second door."

"Hahaha, congratulations to Master Hong."

Except for the True Inheritor Master Ji Xuantong,

the other elders left the practice room, and they chatted leisurely in the living room, waiting.

Soon, another figure walked in; it was Wang Changming.

"Principal."

The others all stood up.

Wang Changming nodded slightly, glanced at Lu Chenzhou in the living room, and said with a smile,

"His condition looks good."

He, too, was worried and took one last look before leaving.

The breakthrough of such a prodigy touched the hearts of so many powerful figures.

Inside the practice room,

Lu Chenzhou focused his attention on the 30 acupoints within his body.

A feeling similar to inspiration coursed through him.

"Let’s begin, the first step—acupoint resonance!"

In an instant, starting from "Middle Kui," one by one, the acupoints lit up like stars in the sky, linking together and culminating at the "Middle Kui" acupoint.

Then, all 30 acupoints buzzed in unison.

Lu Chenzhou looked at his right hand, which could not stop trembling.

Ji Xuantong watched silently.

He had given all necessary warnings and now refrained from interfering.

His job was to spot any accidents and preserve Lu Chenzhou’s life.

Although failing to break the first shackle might not lead to instant death,

poor protection could potentially lead to acupoints shattering and cultivation damaged.

He knew that the medical giants seemed to have developed a Great Medicine that could protect acupoints during a breakthrough, but it was still in the experimental phase and not ready for application.

If successful, it could enhance the success rate of breaking shackles while also mitigating losses from Martial Artists’ failed breakthroughs, giving them another chance to fight. Not everyone received the heartfelt care from elders like Lu Chenzhou did.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Lu Chenzhou’s right hand trembled faster and faster, his complexion turning purplish, feeling as if thirty sharp swords were mercilessly moving through the palm, ruining his flesh.

Crack, crack, crack!

Cracks began to appear on Lu Chenzhou’s palm as he braced himself for the renewal of his body post-shackles.

Blood started to seep out, quickly staining his right hand red. The membrane of the Golden Body Skill was torn apart, and blood dripped from his fingertips, which connected directly to his heart.

This pain caused veins on Lu Chenzhou’s forehead to bulge as he roared lowly, continually focusing on his right hand through his technique, keeping the acupoints resonating. Perhaps due to cross-training, he bled much less than others.

It wasn’t long before the blood traces on his hand automatically scabbed over.

At the same time, the sun-like energy in his groin continuously emitted a powerful force of dragon and tiger’s vigor, enhancing Lu Chenzhou’s endurance and revitalizing his spirit.

Losing focus and feeling mentally weary were what one feared most when breaking through.

Finally, the resonance of the 30 acupoints was complete.

Between them, bridges formed, transferring vast mysterious power, transforming Lu Chenzhou’s right hand. The residual power flowed into his limbs and bones—the "sand" collected by the Zhongzhu Acupoint and the yang qi accumulated by the Yangchi Acupoint, the diverse mysterious powers of the 30 acupoints... all merging smoothly.

Rivers flowing into the sea!

All forces converged into a vast invisible river of qi-blood, soaring within Ji Xuantong’s perception. Lu Chenzhou’s momentum and visibly soaring qi-blood signified he had initially broken the blood shackles. The pool of qi-blood within him continually expanded.

A quarter of an hour later, Lu Chenzhou’s qi-blood was on par with a newly initiated Martial Artist, with his presence even slightly stronger.

Ji Xuantong was overjoyed, thinking to himself,

"Such a strong presence upon entering Martial Arts training, very good!"

This presence was no less than his own in earlier years.

This young man truly seemed likely to break the second level before he did.

With complete concentration, Lu Chenzhou saw the grand qi-blood flow downwards directly, gathering in the Qi Sea. The Innate Strength transformed into a Golden Tiger, skyrocketing and swirling stardust whirlpools. The Golden Tiger absorbed nourishment and visibly began to swell, increasing its majestic presence.

"Innate Strength has also improved, the second step is complete."

Next came the final step, smash that door!

Suddenly, Lu Chenzhou felt as if his spirit had arrived at an endless wilderness with a towering mountain in its center, rising like clouds with the peak unseen. As a lonely traveler, he walked alone through the wilderness, soon reaching the mountain’s base.

He looked around, spotting numerous footprints along the way.

Some were small, others large; some shallow, others deep. The vast majority of footprints vanished after a certain distance... only a few firm, stable, and determined footprints continued step by step to the door, stopping there.
