Time flies like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of August.

During this time, both "Earth Tiger Step" and "Withered Tiger Palm" had achieved perfection and were integrated by Lu Chenzhou into "Heavenly Destiny Mystic Tiger Fist." Lu Chenzhou knew that, in order for a Fourth Rank Divine Seed to transform into a Fifth Rank Divine Seed, two conditions were required:

One was another Fourth Rank Divine Seed.

The other was to reach the Fifth Realm of Fist Theory, to "Comprehend its Intention."

If one reached the Sixth Realm, of "Proving My Path," they could create a Sixth Rank Divine Seed. The Grandmaster had once said that after "Proving My Path," a Martial Artist had already forged their own path, at which time their understanding of fist theory had transcended "Li" and transformed into "Dao."

Principles on principles, Dao precedes Li.

The pinnacle of Li is Dao!

Just like a Martial Artist’s power, it must return from acquired to innate.

Essentially, this was for the purpose of returning to nature and pointed directly at the original and fundamental elements of Martial Arts!

The division of realms within Dao was unknown to Lu Chenzhou.

Because the vast majority of Grandmasters could not exceed the sixth Fist Theory Realm.

Only in the deep understanding of Dao might one create unique Divine Skills, but throughout history, few had reached the Dao Realm, and most Grandmasters remained in the Fifth Realm.

Only the powerful could venture into the Sixth Realm.

But exceeding that was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

"Proving my path is too far off..."

Lu Chenzhou shook his head.

He should first aim to reach the Fifth Realm.

Mastering a Fifth Rank Divine Seed was as good as having cultivated a Middle Grade True Skill in boxing. In the realm of combat among Martial Artists, this placed one in an unbeatable position.

Although following the martial artists, Inner Strength had replaced Fist Techniques as the main channel for boosting Qi-Blood, with the same Qi-Blood, a Middle Level boxing technique would undoubtedly greatly surpass a Lower Grade, this too was a small-scale qualitative change.

According to Mr. Li, the more advanced the boxing technique, the more it could demonstrate the power of a human’s Qi-Blood. For instance, if first-class Martial Arts could demonstrate 50% of a human’s strength through the sequence of movements, then Lower Grade True Skill would show 100%, and Middle Grade True Skill, 150%... the higher it went, the more terrifying the power of Martial Arts became.

Of course, up to now, there were no accurate figures.

The above was just an example.

In any case, after becoming a Martial Artist, the higher the level of the Fist Technique, the more fearsome the destructive power, which was why those Divine Skill Cultivators could wield incredible forces that shake mountains and move rocks.

Techniques close to Dao possess uncanny abilities!

Lu Chenzhou looked toward the Martial Arts Tree.

"Withered Tiger Palm," having achieved perfection, did not possess any unique effects.

But the "Earth Tiger Step" did have an interesting effect.

[Effect 11: Crack Step, using Qi-Blood and physical vibrations creates a localized tremor beneath one’s feet, causing small-scale undulations in the terrain beneath.]

"Not bad, it’s a control skill, unexpected in close combat, there’s hope it will disrupt the enemy’s stepping rhythm, thus creating an advantage."

In battles between experts, victory or defeat often unfolds in the blink of an eye.

Sometimes, a negligible mistake could determine the winner; as one’s level increases, a single earth-shaking step might indeed summon a force capable of moving mountains.

On the Martial Arts Tree.

The Martial Arts section had added three more third-rate Martial Arts.

[Flying Tiger Fist: Proficient (56%)]

[Tiger Sniffing Fist: Beginner (3%)]

[Tiger Claw Thirteen Slaps: Beginner (4%)]

...

September 1.

Today was the day the trial in the Void Realm began.

In the practice room, Lu Chenzhou opened his eyes, faint glimmers of lightning tracing his breath in the void. Within him, the Tai Sui Sha Qi completed a full cycle.

[Tiger Demon Tai Sui Technique: First Layer (80%)]

"My Qi-Blood Value should be 15 now..."

"I’ve also opened 43 acupoints."

Lu Chenzhou stood up, and in a thought, a splendid pale golden fluorescence appeared on his upper body, face, arms, neck, chest... Innate Strength nearly enveloped his entire upper body, with only the abdominal and waist areas yet to form a shape.

"I’m not far from achieving half-body power..."

...

[Qi-Blood Value 16.5, congratulations on achieving the standards of Middle Realm, advancing further on your journey to the pinnacle of Martial Arts, only 8.5 points away from the End Realm, keep pushing forward.]

The machine’s voice prompt was increasingly intelligent and humanlike.

The standard for Middle Realm was 15 points of Qi-Blood.

Since the machine couldn’t assess acupoints and power conditions, reaching this standard meant that, in the eyes of the nation, you were broadly considered a Middle Realm Martial Artist.

Lu Chenzhou left the Qi Blood Measurement Room, pondering alone:

"Half a year to reach Middle Realm... Normally, the Tiger Demon Tai Sui Technique’s First Layer should be completed first to reach Middle Realm, but I amalgamated True Skill boxing early, also enhancing some Qi-Blood, hence faster than expected. Next, I just need to fill in the acupoints."

After returning to his villa, he entered the Martial Arts Internal Realm in a thought. His figure appeared in front of the spiral stairs, where he had never moved from before, but today, he might try.

Lu Chenzhou stepped forward with his left foot under an invisible pressure, moving his leg to ascend the steps, then slowly and steadily proceeded upwards. Climbing always felt slow, the hundreds of steps took a very long time.

Eventually, Lu Chenzhou stopped in front of the second viewing platform. He tried to step onto it, but at that moment, the 43 heavenly stars above buzzed and trembled.

"Roar!"

After a loud roar,

Lu Chenzhou had made it onto the viewing platform, but now he was pushed to his limit, his form expanding and contracting unpredictably, until, with a loud bang, he exploded into particles that fell on a step below the platform. Standing there, he looked at the heavenly stars.

"I barely made it up here, but I can’t stay stable. With 43 acupoints, it’s impossible to form a stable resonance structure. I need 60 acupoints. After 60, all acupoints linked will induce a small-scale qualitative change in the Innate Strength of a Martial Artist. Whether it’s defensive power or offensive strength, both will enhance significantly. I still need more practice."
