Chapter 364: 0240 Martial Arts End Realm (4k seeking double monthly tickets)_2

Lu Chenzhou:

"The student wishes the teacher a triumphant return."

The Void Realm training is extremely perilous.

Being a Martial Arts Master alone is the minimum requirement for solo training. In this way, one can rely on True Gang to protect oneself and leave in the face of a Heavenly Calamity without depending on external items such as the Catastrophe Bracelet.

Chen Jiu said,

"While I’m away, you can find a fellow Martial Artist for cross-training in the Vajra Group or you can hire expert cross-trainers from society."

"Okay, student takes leave."

Watching Lu Chenzhou’s fading figure, Chen Jiu felt emotional.

Ming King Body, he had now barely achieved mastery.

His talent for cross-training was excellent.

But compared with Lu Chenzhou, it was hardly worth mentioning.

Thus, he wanted to find some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to aid him.

Chen Jiu made a phone call to get someone to fix the floor, muttering,

"Lufang’s record of fast mastery inside and outside might not hold."

The waves behind push the waves ahead.

This is an eternal historical norm.

...

Time flies.

Before one knew it, it was June.

The once-in-five-years Celestial Road Cup was held in Kunlun, and Wang Xian, carrying the blessings of his sect and armed with the Divine Spear "Nine Shadows," went alone to the Western Regions.

This competition was extraordinarily fierce, hailed as the most intense in twenty years, featuring two young Grandmaster-level powerhouses under the age of 35. One was Qi Jingtian, the martial arts champion from a hundred schools, and the other was the Shaolin’s hidden ace, the Monk Zhen Ding of the Tiger Subduing Order.

Zhen Ding, born with the "Tiger Subduing Buddha Body," was younger than Lei Jingang Mingxin, the holder of the "Dragon Subduing Buddha Body," although Mingxin cultivated both internally and externally.

Overall, they were individuals of exceptional talent.

Zhen Ding was not only deeply knowledgeable in Buddhist Law but also mastered the Tiger Form Fist. His mere presence, radiating an invisible domineering aura, suffocated Wang Xian, who also cultivated the Tiger Form.

The might of a Grandmaster compounded with oppressive dominance.

Wang Xian struggled to make a spear thrust and was defeated.

The difference in strength was vast, like a chasm.

In the final match,

The collision between Zhen Ding and Qi Jingtian, two incomparable young geniuses of the Buddhist and Daoist paths, was a Grandmaster-level battle that shook the heavens. Ultimately, Zhen Ding proved slightly superior.

Tiger Subduing Monk Zhen Ding, champion of the Celestial Road Cup!

After watching the competition, Lu Chenzhou’s expression was solemn.

"Tiger Subduing Buddha Body?"

In this era, Shaolin was formidable.

Possessing both the top-level Buddha Bodies of Subduing Dragon and Subduing Tiger.

In comparison, the three heroes of Dragon City were significantly inferior.

Even Li Ao only made it to the quarterfinals. The heritage of Daoism and Buddhism was too profound; most of the top Martial Universities established later merely served as a backdrop.

During the competition, some incidents also occurred.

Cult forces tried to assassinate the geniuses on-site using Death Soldiers and the False King during the competition. However, Zhen Ding and Qi Jingtian easily countered and killed them, not even disturbing the Heavenly King-level powerhouses overseeing the contest behind the scenes. These geniuses were too formidable.

After the match,

Wanshixian praised Zhen Ding and Qi Jingtian as having the stance of the Absolute Peak.

Though Lu Chenzhou did not go to the venue, he watched the thrilling matches during breaks from his Heavenly Pile Cultivation and got to know many Martial Arts geniuses.

"One day, I too shall make a name for myself in the Celestial Road Cup!"

The rewards for the Celestial Road Cup champion were extremely generous.

One Grandmaster Divine Weapon, one Xuan Grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

Just these two items were already invaluable.

Plus hundreds of billions in cash, and even the opportunity to be taken as a True Inheritance by the Absolute Peak.

Countless intangible benefits too numerous to count.

Lu Chenzhou was not in a hurry; he only needed to participate once before the age of 35.

If he could step into the Grandmaster Realm, he would be guaranteed a spot among the top competitors.

...

One day,

In the Practice Room, Lu Chenzhou concluded his Heavenly Pile Cultivation.

"The 70th Acupoint, the Great Dun has opened."

Just 20 more acupoints, and he would reach the standards of the End Realm.

And he had only been promoted to being a Martial Artist a year and a half ago.

Overall, the difficulty of the Middle Realm Acupoints was still within his tolerance. Maintaining 12 hours of cultivation daily, he managed to open three acupoints per month.

That was his limit. He was now sleeping only 4 hours daily, aside from eating and essential rest, leaving only 6 hours for internal strength cultivation, cross training, and fist technique training.

To ensure progress in Heavenly Pile, the advancement in other martial disciplines inevitably slowed. From what he knew, Fang Xue, Li Fu, and others were already refining Middle Grade True Skill Boxing.

Zhang Lingmiao, Hong Tianxiang, and other top level Daoist Bodies might have already focused solely on refining middle to upper-level martial skills. If he wanted to compete with these individuals in the Mystic List, relying solely on Qi-Blood was insufficient. Even having an advantage in cross-training was not enough; Martial Skills were crucial.

"Must reach the Fifth Realm of Boxing Theory soon..."

After resting,

Lu Chenzhou went to the Qi Blood Measurement Room and performed a set of Basic Boxing.

[Congratulations, your Qi Blood Value is 26 points, 17 points away from the End Realm...]

He pondered,

"Martial Arts End Realm cultivation, 70 acupoints, a Mastery in True Skill Boxing, First-Class in Swallow Form, Mastery in Spear Skill, along with the Golden Body and Ming King Body from Cross Training Martial Arts, Divine Weapons... All these combined, looking across all Martial Artists in Da Xia, my strength is also First-Class standard. Even in the End Realm, I could rely on my powerful Defense Power to fight. As long as I don’t encounter the Second Shackles Breaking, I’m safe."

This journey might take a while.

Lu Chenzhou must be prepared for danger.

Nowadays, Da Xia is not very peaceful. Since last year’s incident, dozens of new Void Realm intersections have appeared, and demon ghosts and Void Things are not uncommon.

And there are Black Knights and Cultists causing trouble.

...

Su City suburbs.

Bai Jingming was practicing his knife techniques under the night sky, his blade shining like a blood-dragon’s crazy dance.

After finishing his practice, he stopped, breathed out Qi Blood, and opened a small black bottle containing a drop of viscous blood that was wriggling and emitting overwhelming Evil Qi.

In his mind, it seemed as though a giant serpent with a human head spanned the sky.

Bai Jingming quickly capped the small black bottle, with lingering fear, he said,

"Truly worthy of being the Demon King’s essence blood..."

Soon, a figure ran out and knelt down.

Bai Jingming asked,

"How is it? Any latest movements from Lu Chenzhou?"

The figure replied,

"Master, Lu Chenzhou has been staying on the campus."

Bai Jingming frowned,

"This little guy really can endure."

He had also assassinated a Martial Arts Genius. That genius was killed by him while reciting poems on a date with a girl at the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival. Remembering this, he asked,

"Does Lu Chenzhou have a partner?"

"No."

"His parents?"

"They live in the university."

"Relatives and friends from his sect?"

"They also live on campus."

"Damn!"

Bai Jingming couldn’t help but curse silently.

"Master, I’ll take my leave now."

"Continue to investigate for me. I don’t believe he won’t leave campus. Even if there are no leisure or entertainment needs, visiting relatives and friends, he must be carrying out missions to earn Cultivation Resources, right?"

...

After all, Su City in mid-June, the scenery does not follow the four seasons.

Su City Dragon Martial.

Lu Chenzhou was cultivating while preparing for his long journey.

He wasn’t in a rush to leave; he wasn’t traveling for leisure where he could just go on a whim. He needed to fully consider all possible factors including Tao Yun in famous historical sites, routes, risks, local security, Cultists, Black Knights... etc.

That day,

he consumed and refined an Enlightenment Elixir, ending his Heavenly Pile Cultivation.

He opened the Swallowing Elephant Belt, the Yellow Spirit Body Breaking Pills were already used up.

He checked his Great Merit, only 900 points were left.

Lu Chenzhou realized that since the end of last year’s trial, he hadn’t undertaken any missions or competitions, and the ample Great Merit was finally running out. After becoming a Martial Artist, aside from the trials at the Martial Arts Department, the university did not organize any compulsory practical training missions, and Martial Artists were free to act according to their situations.

Ding———

[Your account ending in 9527 received a transfer of 20 million from Daoist Science and Technology (Remark: Seedling Plan Sponsorship Fund), current balance 85 million...]

Lu Chenzhou’s corners of his mouth curved upward,

"With so much money, it’s finally come in handy."

With such a bank balance, it was enough for him to cultivate securely for a long time.

...

University Hospital.

"Senior, 40 Yellow Spirit Body Breaking Pills."

Lu Chenzhou was certainly the biggest customer among the branch school students.

The elderly man, feeling the young man’s surging, spirited Qi Blood, laughed,

"Little guy, you’ve reached another level."

As the head of the hospital, the old man had seen and known a lot. Having come across most Martial Artists in the university, in just one and a half years, this fledgling Martial Artist, considering even the assistant teachers in Su City Dragon Martial, had upper-class momentum.

He might have already stepped into the Martial Arts End Realm, youth is wonderful.

Young people, should be unstoppable like the grand sun!
