Chapter 398: 0261 Extreme Qi-Blood (4k)

Villa No. 32.

Qi Blood Measurement Room.

[Congratulations, your Qi Blood Value has reached 50 points...]

"It’s almost reaching the limit, time to take the Blood Lotus Treasure Medicine."

Last month, Little Butterfly Immortal had delivered the Blood Lotus Treasure Medicine, but such a treasure that increases the Qi-Blood limit is best taken when nearing the limit.

"After taking the medicine, it’ll be time to set off."

Originally, Lu Chenzhou planned to go on a journey last year, but to enhance his strength further and ensure safety, various matters delayed his departure until now.

It turned out for the best—cultivation at the End Realm was more secure.

This year, his strength underwent a drastic transformation.

Qi-Blood breaking fifty, Ming King Body reaching small success, Tiger Gall Gun advancing, Cold Silkworm Robe, Flawless Power, Tiger Swallow Dual Form True Skill, Spear Skill True Skill, Tai Sui’s Evil Energy...

An array of skills layered, ready for offense and defense, control and escape.

He had no clear idea how strong he really was.

In any case, his classmates from Su City Dragon Martial, even Wang Hongdao, seldom sought Chenzhou out for sparring anymore, as they would find themselves defeated in all sorts of intricate ways within ten moves—a chasm-like gap in strength made sparring meaningless.

For an Initial Realm Martial Artist, having even one-tenth of "Lu’s Strength" was considered good.

Even if Lu Chenzhou were to fight ten at a time on his own,

he was confident he could defeat them one by one.

...

The following day.

The latest Hidden Dragon List was updated.

Over the past year, Lu Chenzhou’s ranking steadily climbed.

[Your Hidden Dragon List points increased by 4500 points, your ranking has risen to 188th place, maintain your current ranking, and you can receive 30 Great Merit each month.]

"Indeed, I’ve entered the top two hundred."

The Hidden Dragon List’s top 200 were almost entirely composed of older alumni who had broken the second shackles, or those who had lingered at the End Realm for a long time and accumulated a large amount of points through missions. Someone as young as Lu Chenzhou was a rare sight.

The few that were there were mostly geniuses from Class 9.

He scanned further down the list.

"Fang Xue at 223rd place, another Class 9 prodigy surpassed by me. Fang Xue’s cultivation is about the same as mine, also at the End Realm and with Flawless Power, but she lacks cross training points. To enter the top two hundred, she’ll probably need to reach the limit of her Qi-Blood."

"Li Fu is ranked 300th, he’s probably only at End Realm Cultivation. It looks like he won’t be able to catch up with me before reaching Grandmaster... and even after that, there’s no chance. However, with his aptitude for Opening the Acupoint, he does have a chance to surpass Fang Xue and others after reaching Grandmaster."

A momentary difference in the speed of breakthroughs means nothing.

Lu Chenzhou also admired Li Fu for his Buddha-like attitude.

"Wang Hongdao at 356th place, that’s quite good. Yao Cheng, Zhou Xingkong, Old Tian, Chen Xiaoyun, and Leopard Woman, they’ve all been making steady progress... huh, Xiao He has made it into the top five hundred too?"

Lu Chenzhou’s gaze flickered with amusement.

He opened his phone to find the genius class group chat bustling.

[Xiao He: From now on, please call me "Spirit Monkey" haha.]

[Leopard Woman: Isn’t that title similar to ones used by Daoists? Have you become a monk?]

[Chen Xiaoyun: Yeah, it sounds odd.]

[Wang Hongdao: It’s not bad, quite fitting for Xiao He’s personality.]

[Yao Cheng: It’s not easy, our Class 1, all Martial Artists now.]

[Zhou Xingkong: It’s good that Xiao He has advanced. As far as I know, the ordinary classes have quite a few at the Extreme Limit Realm this year who hope to break their shackles in the first half of the year.]

[Old Tian: You have to believe in Xiao He, hey, he’s a genius after all.]

The new students in Class 1 were also envious.

Following the old custom, Old Tian organized a gathering to congratulate Xiao He.

At the banquet.

Xiao He, having ascended to Martial Artist, finally felt the formidable aura of his classmates, especially Lu Chenzhou, who sat there with an unfathomable presence.

Wang Hongdao asked curiously:

"Chenzhou, I saw you’re in the top two hundred on the Hidden Dragon List? Are you close to a Breakthrough Second?"

Others were also curious about how strong Lu Chenzhou really was.

Lu Chenzhou shook his head, smiling:

"No, there’s still a considerable gap."

He didn’t want to discourage his classmates.

Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief:

"Did you know? I had a nightmare recently. I dreamt Chenzhou had already broken through the second level, and I hadn’t even broken through the first, so I was transferred to an ordinary class."

The others: "..."

Xiao He: "And when those people saw me, they surrounded me and kept asking [Xiao He, when are you going to breakthrough first?]"

Lu Chenzhou: "..."

...

Lu Chenzhou looked at the instructions provided by Little Butterfly Immortal for taking the treasure medicine.

"Any treasure medicine is essentially a transformative substance, differing only in degree. Before ingesting it, embrace the mindset of breaking through your shackles to prevent the potent effects from causing short-term physical discomfort and potential side effects.

Treasure medicines that increase the upper limit of Qi-Blood within one’s current realm require particular caution. Under normal circumstances, only by breaking through shackles can one expand their Qi-Blood capacities. Treasures that allow for premature expansion will necessarily entail a large-scale transformation of the body.

This process is extremely painful, possibly causing internal bleeding, akin to the agony of the first shackles being broken. You will endure the torture of a thousand cuts from within. You must maintain your mind and wield your powerful Martial Arts Will to control your body and stay conscious!"

The instructions were extensive.

Little Butterfly Immortal’s intent was to make Lu Chenzhou take heed.

Consuming treasure medicine was entirely different from consuming ordinary Great Medicine.

In history, there were those who acquired Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures but failed to refine them successfully. Instead, they perished during the process of defying fate; precedents existed.

Lu Chenzhou took out a walnut-sized red pill.

Aligning his Essence, Spirit, and Intention at their peaks, the medicine dissolved as soon as he took it. A red torrent dispersed in an instant, penetrating his internal organs and circulating through his blood. In a flash, tiny beads of blood surfaced on Lu Chenzhou’s skin, drenching him in blood.
