Chapter 291: 0201 Extraordinary (4k, asking for monthly tickets and subscriptions)

He donned the protective gear and slipped into his training clothes.

Lu Chenzhou examined himself in the mirror. His once somewhat immature student face had also transformed after breaking the chains, carved and chiseled, revealing a restrained maturity.

Breaking the chains was a complete metamorphosis. Although it wasn’t as easy as for cultivators to completely change their appearance, it did enhance the original facial features.

Most importantly, once the spirit was enhanced, a person’s temperament naturally followed, invisibly increasing their attractiveness. Martial Arts changed a person, inside and out.

Top-level powerhouses, unless extremely unfortunate in looks, could possess an ordinary appearance and yet exude a special charisma, leaving a memorable impression, swiftly winning hearts.

If someone was already beautiful and became a top-level powerhouse, they would transform into a celestial beauty like the "Yaochi Immortal" of Kunlun, peerless and enchanting!

Lu Chenzhou opened the window to the balcony.

He breathed in the wind, sensing the essence of plants with his heart, peered across the lake, and spotted a three-pound carp surfacing for air a hundred meters away; he twitched his nose, catching the scent of stir-fry wafting from his Senior Sister’s apartment; his ears twitched slightly, and the chirping of spring insects in the distant grasses was clear to hear.

His body sank slightly, his legs bent, and then he shot up from the ground like a rocket, easily reaching a height of three stories and landing on the roof of a small villa.

Standing on high, he felt refreshed and said to himself,

"Although my senses are not as exaggerated as a Grandmaster’s, capable of encompassing an entire mountain, they have truly surpassed mortals and I can see the minutest details!"

"My normal jumping power is enough to leap onto a three-story building. If I were to use movement technique to borrow strength, I could easily move between high-rise buildings using rebound force. The steel jungle becomes my modern forest, where I can exercise Tiger Form to its advantage using the terrain!"

He landed lightly next to a tree as thick as a washbasin, wrapped his arms around it, his arms swelling with muscle, coiling like a giant python. As he exerted force, the willows shook; Lu Chenzhou quickly withdrew his strength, lest he actually uproot it.

"In the old days, there were heroes of the green forests who could uproot willows; I can do the same. If I were to bench press in a gym with fitness equipment designed for mortals, I might have to add all the weight plates in the gym just to get a slight workout effect."

Lu Chenzhou moved with agility, not taking the conventional path, but stepping directly onto the surface of the lake. Each step on the water caused invisible vibrations to emanate, and with this rebound force, the lake was no different from the flat ground. Unless his strength was exhausted, he could keep performing Lightweight Water Floating; he ran from the villa across the lake to the Qi Blood Measurement Room.

On the shore, Wu Zun watched the excited Lu Chenzhou with a smile on his lips.

"Every newcomer to being a Martial Artist is like this."

He had been the same, not sleeping for three days and nights, testing his powers everywhere. Stepping into the realm of Martial Artists was like entering a new world; this was human nature.

...

Qi Blood Measurement Room.

[Your Qi Blood Value has reached 10.01. Congratulations, you have become a qualified Martial Artist. From now on, you are no longer a mere mortal.]

The cold mechanical voice had changed to a gentle female one.

Lu Chenzhou smiled and said,

"This machine really knows how to flatter... Speaking of which, I haven’t yet started my True Skill cultivation, so how did my Qi Blood spontaneously increase by 0.01? It could be a side effect of the Blood Replenishing Pill, but 1.5 million only brought such a small improvement, better than nothing."

Lu Chenzhou had heard that after becoming a Martial Artist, there would be some Great Medicines that could significantly increase one’s Qi Blood. Some Martial Artists constrained by their Qi-Blood would try all means to buy them. Occasional use of such external substances to directly enhance Qi-Blood was fine in emergencies.

Medicines come with a poison risk, especially those involving Qi-Blood.

In the long term, one would ruin their Martial Arts.

Without having tempered their body through a thousand trials, nor having their willpower forged from experience.

Having just Qi-Blood, how could one tame the Dragon Elephant, master oneself!

Lu Chenzhou felt that with his Martial Arts Comprehension, he wouldn’t be constrained by Qi-Blood for quite some time. What he needed to improve was the speed of Opening the Acupoint.

acupoints must be opened to reach the Absolute Peak.

He had only just started.

...

At noon.

Lu Chenzhou was called to Qingtian Cang’s house by his master. Soon after, two Senior Sisters also arrived. Ji Feiyan threw herself at Lu Chenzhou as soon as she entered, examining him closely. Uninhibited, she tapped his body, feeling the iron-wall-like physique.

"Woowoo... I’m so happy, I also want to be a Martial Artist!"

Ji Feiyan cried with envy.

Just a few years ago, she had doubted whether Lu Chenzhou’s sudden enlightenment was real.

The truth proved it was not.

Less than four years to go from a novice to a Martial Artist!

He was clearly a Martial Bone Dao Embryo!

Shi Ruyu smiled warmly and said,

"Junior Brother, congratulations on becoming a Martial Artist."

Lu Chenzhou replied, feeling deeply moved,

"I’ve seen the scenery beyond the door, and it’s breathtaking."

Ji Feiyan quickly said,

"Stop, don’t say anymore, I want to see it myself!"

Lu Chenzhou chuckled.

"I wasn’t going to say anything. If it’s in our destiny, perhaps you’ll encounter me in unexpected ways within the Martial Arts Inner Realm, meeting across time and space."

Shi Ruyu said,

"Are you talking about the ’Martial Arts Resonance’ of ancient times?"

"Yes."

Ji Feiyan asked,

"What did you say? Damn, I really want to know."

Just then, Ji Xuantong’s voice came through.

"Want to know? If you’re capable, then go listen for yourself in the Inner Realm!"

Ji Feiyan’s face flushed, and she declared boldly,

"Alright then, watch me become a Martial Artist within three years! Speaking of which... Dad, you won’t still be loitering here polishing sand when I’ve already broken into the Second Rank, right?"

Ji Xuantong laughed and said,

"You think you are Chenzhou? Don’t dream too big, stay grounded."
