Chapter 397: 0260 Martial Arts End Realm (4k seeking monthly tickets and subscriptions)_2

The breakthroughs in Cross Training in True Skill Martial Arts could also increase the breakthrough in Qi-Blood.

"Only 35 more acupoints to go, and I’ll be able to break the second shackles."

According to Lu Chenzhou’s understanding,

to break the second shackles, one must meet the following conditions:

First, open 150 acupoints and create resonance, which is fundamental.

Second, reach the limit of 53 points in Qi-Blood.

Third, have Flawless Innate Power that covers all the skin externally and all the internal organs internally. Among these, internal defense is crucial.

If the organs are not adequately protected, especially critical organs like the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, they can easily be ruptured by abrupt changes in the body during the breakthrough.

At best, cultivation will be damaged; at worst, it will lead to death.

Breaking the second shackles can be fatal. This is why there are many martial artists, but the number of Martial Arts Masters drops drastically.

First, there are major challenges with the acupoints; then, there are risks to life.

In fact, even if the internal and external protections are adequate, if someone’s foundation is weak, their power is hollow and poor in quality, they are also likely to split open during the breakthrough.

This step is crucial.

Of course, this step can be aided by external forces.

One is by having a grandmaster input True Gang into the breaker’s body to protect their fragile organs. Clearly, this is like rushing the plants’ growth or helping the chick hatch because it skips a crucial step; those who break the second shackles have less than a one percent chance of continuing to break through, stopping at the level of Martial Arts Masters.

Second, by using Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for protection.

Lu Chenzhou was very confident in his power.

What he worried about was the fourth condition.

If there are multiple Innate Strengths present in the body, they must be harmonized before the breakthrough to prevent conflicts between different strengths, leading to demonic possession or explosive death at critical moments.

This is the downside of practicing multiple disciplines.

If one succeeds in multiple disciplines, the future is boundless.

But one careless mistake, and it is an irreversible disaster.

From the second breakthrough onward, the death rate due to failed breakthroughs climbs steadily; by the time of the seventh breakthrough, the rate reaches an intimidating level. Those who reach the Absolute Peak are truly the chosen ones, blessed with great destiny, talent, and perseverance — a harmony of the right time, place, and people.

Many Heavenly Kings stall before the Absolute Peak, fearing to take that step.

Other than Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and Treasure Medicine, humanity has no other good means to effectively increase the success rate. Martial Arts is hard, as hard as reaching the heavens.

Fifth, any Lower Grade True Skill Martial Arts must reach Perfection.

Sixth, Fist Theory reaches the Fourth Realm.

Seventh, the Martial Arts Will and spiritual strength must be strong enough.

The first six are relatively quantifiable standards.

The seventh, involving spiritual will, becomes elusive.

The current understanding is: if you feel it’s enough, then it is.

This feeling is intangible and indescribable.

Those who reach the fourth realm in Fist Theory are usually ready.

"I must elevate my Fist Theory to the Fifth Realm, surely then it will be sufficient."

Overall, Lu Chenzhou was not worried.

He was about to travel the Four Seas and comprehend the paths of the sages.

When he returned, everything would naturally fall into place.

...

Ending the cultivation.

Back at villa number 32, his phone rang.

[Lufang: "Ming King Body" how is your training going?]

[Lu Chenzhou: It’s achieved Small Success.]

[Lufang: There’s something I need to mention. I applied for a Cross Training scholarship for you during a meeting at the Martial Arts Department. You’ll get an annual quota of 20 free supplies of Mingyu Ointment, just do some Vajra Group tasks, and that should be enough for a year’s cultivation. It’s not just me; both Tuo Tian Head Monk and Wanshixian Chairman think highly of you. This scholarship was arranged by these two seniors.]

Lu Chenzhou felt immensely joyful.

This move was undoubtedly like sending charcoal in snowy weather. Recently, Lu Chenzhou genuinely had no time to do tasks for the Vajra Group. Hence, his Ming King Body cultivation was still using Golden Jade Ointment, which could also be used, but the effects were definitely not as good as Mingyu Ointment.

He had previously saved up some Mingyu Ointment, but had prioritized it for the cultivation of the "Pure Yang Shield." He knew well, no man should neglect, least of all, himself. Now, with the aid of Great Medicine for Cross Training, his training could progress to the next level.

...

Pingjiang Police Station.

Lufang put down his phone with a somewhat helpless expression.

The Cross Training scholarship he mentioned was actually tailored for Lu Chenzhou. Unfortunately, ever since this guy joined the Vajra Group, he rarely undertook missions.

No missions, no Vajra Points.

How to replace Mingyu Potion?

He saw Lu Chenzhou had been using Golden Jade Ointment for cultivation and initially restrained himself, too lazy to intervene. However, when he discovered that the young man had mastered Ming King Body in just six months, he could no longer hold back and went to the Martial Arts Department’s high-level executives to discuss scholarship matters.

For this, he even solicited the help of Tuo Tian Head Monk.

Although this individual did not exclusively practice Hard Qi Gong, due to the unique nature of "Dragon Elephant Heaven-Supporting Divine Skill" that integrated both internal and external training, he was nominally Da Xia’s top Cross Trainer. Eventually, he even inadvertently alarmed Wanshixian, thus resolving the minor issue.

Regardless, with the issue resolved, Lufang breathed a sigh of relief.

He hoped that this young Lu would not waste his hard work.

"Ming King Body achieved minor success in just over a year, normally it would achieve perfection within three years, much faster than I did back then... The same old saying, every generation produces its own talents."

Be it the Northern Vajra or Nan Lufang.

Eventually, the old must give way to the young.

That is the law of the era, humanity is constantly advancing!

...

Time flew by.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

June 6th.

Last year on this day, Monk Zhen Ding of Tiger Subduing became famous at the Heavenly Road Cup.

Only four years and two months remained until the All Nations Martial Arts Competition.

On this day, the Wanbang Organizing Committee issued a notice:

In view of the severe situation of the Virtual Disaster in recent years, and after unanimous discussion by the member states of the committee, the competition format of the Huangshan All Nations Martial Arts Competition will be appropriately reformed.

The reform plan is still under discussion.

What can be affirmed is that the [Top 100 Battle of All Nations] will be temporarily canceled, as most top-level experts are busy suppressing the three calamities. After communication by the committee, only a handful of competitors were confirmed, eliminating the necessity of competition.

National affairs take precedence, and the competition must be postponed, meaning the title of Cangtian Dragon King’s World’s Number One, might remain unique for a considerably long time.

The competition of the Mysterious Yellow Four Lists would be temporarily retained.

Upon the announcement, there was an uproar worldwide.

On various national Martial Arts forums, debates raged, especially among young Martial Artists hoping to make a name for themselves at the Martial Arts Tournament worried about losing their opportunity to become world-renowned.

The Martial Arts Geniuses of Da Xia also watched closely.

Many were psychologically prepared.

Take Lu Chenzhou, for instance—he did not care at all.

He looked at the announcement, his heart as serene as an ancient well.

"Better to focus on Opening the Acupoint."

Fame and money are less real than the elevation of power.

...

Seven days later.

Cross Training Room.

times gravity.

Lu Chenzhou was practicing the Pile Skill related to the last acupoint [Taibai Acupoint] on his left foot.

At his current level of strength, 20 times gravity felt a bit too comfortable for him.

Buzz! Suddenly, at the heel of his foot, the acupoint opened, and a stream of gold-coloured mysterious power containing some magnetic force emerged, emitting the fierce breath of Geng Metal.

"Taibai Acupoint, a Gold Element Acupoint, is also the beginning for Martial Artists to initially sense magnetic field power. Once this acupoint opens, it can generate metal from earth, constantly refining the body and power with an invisible fierce golden aura, enhancing the quality of both."

Magnetic field power is crucial for the cultivation of top-level experts.

Heavenly Kings flying and escaping through the earth also rely on magnetic fields.

However, before reaching the Grandmaster level, the magnetic field does not have much impact.

This is high-level power, incomprehensible to those below Grandmaster level.

Lu Chenzhou looked towards the Martial Arts Tree.

[Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Pile: 120th Acupoint Open]

He inwardly observed the region of his Dan Tian Qi Sea, where the Tiger Form and Swallow Form innately displayed a clear separation; the former was dominant, the latter was more passive. However, with the balancing effect of Spear Power, it was much more harmonious than before, bolstering his confidence in making a second breakthrough.

In a thought.

Streams of power divided into two flows, one emerged from the pores, instantly enveloping the surface of his entire body, while the other clung to the surface of his heart and lungs.

"The Flawless Power, also achieved."

After two years and four months, he stepped into the End Realm of Martial Arts!

Lu Chenzhou left the Gravity Room, looking towards the dawn breaking across the sky.

"The final stage of cultivation, I shall spend wandering through the clouds."
