Chapter 368: 0243 Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix, Mysterious Swallows Flying to the Sky (4k for double monthly tickets)

In August and September, the reeds bloomed.

September 9, evening.

By a wild river in Su City.

Bai Jingming, holding a long pole, fished alone for eternity.

A figure in a windbreaker approached flutteringly and asked in a low voice,

"Half a year has passed; still no chance?"

Bai Jingming continued fishing, not even lifting his head, he said,

"The boy hasn’t left the school in half a year; how could I make a move?"

The figure in the windbreaker stood silent for a moment before asking,

"Otherwise, have you considered infiltrating Su City Dragon Martial?"

Bai Jingming grinned and replied,

"Fine, give me a Grandmaster Divine Weapon and I’ll do it."

The figure in the windbreaker walked away, his voice carried by the wind,

"Lu Chenzhou has exceptional talent, and his progress in Martial Arts is not slow. If this delay continues, I’m afraid that even if you find an opportunity... you will no longer be his match."

Bai Jingming said,

"You don’t understand Martial Arts. Even if he’s a Martial Arts Genius, it’s impossible to advance from Breakthrough First to Breakthrough Second within three years. He has been promoted for just a year and a half, the breakthrough is still early. As long as in these three years, if he dares to leave the school and I find him, I will surely kill him! As for fighting across realms... even less likely, unless he is supported by a Grandmaster Divine Weapon."

...

Su City Dragon Martial.

Villa No. 32.

In the Inner Scenery Land, Lu Chenzhou watched the 82nd Heavenly Star light up.

"Just 8 more apertures... After 90 apertures, it will be the true End Realm. At that time, the apertures will resonate, and my Innate Strength will transform again, increasing both my defense and killing power. Coupled with a strike from Tiger Courage Wind and Thunder, Teacher Hong’s True Qi will be even harder to withstand."

Lu Chenzhou did not wish to fight across realms.

But that did not prevent him from comparing himself to others to gauge his strength.

The "White Tiger Breaking Army Spear" was merely a first-class spear technique, yet it was so powerful. If it were a True Skill Level spear technique and he executed Wind and Thunder Flash, the power would be terrifying.

He felt it might even be comparable to Martial Arts Killing Moves. Once his Spear Skill Realm improved, he should integrate and master a spear technique of his own.

After ending his cultivation session, Lu Chenzhou went to Principal Wang’s house.

Today was a gathering and feast at his school, and the master wanted to examine their progress.

Shortly after, Wang Xian also arrived carrying a spear.

Having experienced the trials of the Heavenly Road Cup, his spirit had also transformed.

Lu Chenzhou felt that his senior brother had grown stronger.

Wang Xian, equally surprised internally, smiled and said,

"It’s been a while, little brother, quietly reaching the End Realm."

"Qi-Blood End Realm, the apertures are slightly lacking."

"That’s impressive too, when I went from Initial to End Realm, it took two years. Among my friends, only Li Ao was faster than you."

Principal Wang finished his Pile Skill and sat at the dining table, asking,

"Chenzhou, how many apertures now?"

"83 apertures."

"Three apertures per month?"

"Yes."

"Maintain this pace, and there’s no big problem becoming a Martial Arts Grandmaster before 40. However, to be a Grandmaster before 35, there’s still room to accelerate the opening of apertures. Remember, every breakthrough increases the difficulty of opening apertures... Though hard work is important, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are also crucial. Shortly, the military will permanently open Taihu Virtual Realm as a trial ground for Martial Artists, you can go there to toughen up and earn some Battle Merit."

"All right."

Lu Chenzhou’s eyes lit up.

He most enjoyed honing his Martial Arts in battle.

Nothing else, as it triggered inspiration more easily.

The stronger the enemy, the more exhilarating the fight, the easier to get in the zone.

He needed exhilarating combat to accelerate his Martial Arts cultivation.

Wang Changming then asked Wang Xian,

"Do you think you can become a Grandmaster before 40?"

Wang Xian thought for a moment and said,

"That shouldn’t be a problem."

His Qi-Blood had already reached Master End Realm standards, and his apertures were at the End Realm.

If not for being hindered by apertures, he would have a chance to become a Grandmaster in three years. Thus, he envied people like Li Fu who were born with Innate Nine Apertures, which was more useful than his [Voice of Hundred Beasts].

In fact,

Aside from top-level Taoist and Buddha Bodies, or abilities like [Dao Heart Spiritual Communication] at the Upper Level Martial Bone Dao Embryo, most talents are inferior to Innate Nine Apertures.

Whether it’s Hundred Beasts or Hundred Birds, these comprehension advantages are clear in the early stages, quickly cultivating in Martial Arts, hence they have plenty of time to open apertures.

However, in the late stages, without talents for aperture opening or assistance from Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, relying solely on time and hard work is definitely not enough, and they are likely to be outpaced in the end.

Of course, those born with Martial Bone Dao Embryos generally open apertures much faster than those with top-class root bones, but aiming for Heavenly King, Absolute Peak... with ordinary Martial Bone Dao Embryos is difficult.

Talent is not the sole determiner in Martial Arts.

Nevertheless, Wang Xian was confident about the future.

The Void Realm brought opportunities, likely ushering a golden age for Martial Arts.

If he could seize it, he could ascend swiftly to the skies.

Wang Changming, stirring his soup, suddenly said,

"Wang Xian, accompany Chenzhou on a trip to Changbai Mountain sometime soon."

Wang Xian looked at Lu Chenzhou and asked,

"What’s the little brother going to Changbai Mountain for?"

Changbai Mountain was the base location of Galaxy Martial University.

Lu Chenzhou said,

"I’ve obtained a map of the Void Realm; it should be from an old exploration of Tiger King Valley near the entrance in Changbai Mountain. I’d like to see if there’s any opportunity."

"I see, then tell me when you’re ready."

"Alright."

After the meal, Lu Chenzhou and Wang Xian walked side by side by the lake and asked,

"Senior brother, do you have any recommendations for good first-class spear techniques?"

Wang Xian asked,

"Isn’t the White Tiger Breaking Army Spear sufficient?"

Lu Chenzhou said,

"I want to master a few more to understand the Spear Skill deeper."

Wang Xian pondered for a moment and said,

"In learning the Soldier Attack Skill, it’s not necessary to stick only to the Elephant Form. Frankly speaking, other than the Dragon Form, none of the Elephant Form’s spear techniques are impressive, since we specialize in Fist Techniques. So, I’ll recommend some from other Boxing Lineages."

Hearing that they were from other Boxing Lineages, Lu Chenzhou was eager to try.

With a Martial Arts Tree, trying out various Boxing Lineages couldn’t be wrong.

Wang Xian continued,

"I’ll recommend three first; they are the top-level spear techniques from their respective Boxing Lineages, no weaker than the ’White Tiger Breaking Army Spear.’ If you can master all of them, your prowess in spear skills entering the Third Realm is certain."
