By July,

Su City,

Qingtian Cang Villa,

Ji Xuantong stood with his hands behind his back, quietly waiting outside the practice room.

Inside, the anguished roar of Shi Ruyu could faintly be heard.

"Ah, she must be alright."

Qingtian Cang patted Old Ji’s shoulder and said,

"With Ruyu’s sudden insights, becoming a Martial Artist is beyond question."

"I understand, but I can’t help but worry, after all, not everyone is like Chenzhou, breaking through barriers always comes with some risks..."

There was a knock at the villa door, the cooking aunt opened it to find a burly young man over six feet tall standing at the door, his invisible evil Qi restrained.

A temperament only achieved through long-term life and death battles.

Lu Chenzhou returned to Su City once a month to visit his parents and teachers.

This time, his return coincided with Shi Ruyu’s breakthrough.

His expression showed hidden concerns as he asked,

"Master, how is Sister doing?"

Ji Xuantong felt a sense of relief seeing Lu Chenzhou.

"She’s fine, no big issues, I gave her the Protecting Acupoint Pills you sent, with the military’s Enlightenment Elixir, a mere Breakthrough First is nothing."

The Protecting Acupoint Pills were the latest product, taken before breaking the first barrier, could stabilize the acupoints through its medicinal power, each pill worth 200 battle merits, just pocket change for Lu Chenzhou.

"That’s good."

Lu Chenzhou sat down, waiting patiently.

Qingtian Cang said with a smile,

"Not seeing you for a month, your aura has improved again."

Lu Chenzhou responded with a smile,

"Probably in another two months, I will reach the Middle Realm in Qi-blood."

Qingtian Cang exclaimed,

"Although I guessed that you, as a Martial Artist, would rapidly progress... I never anticipated such rapid advancements after breaking the second barrier, and without excessive consumption of Great Medicine for Qi-blood, right?"

Lu Chenzhou replied,

"Just the occasional normal intake of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures along with advancing Qi-blood, focusing mostly on Inner Strength and Acupoints daily, after all, I have now opened 160 acupoints."

Hearing about opening the acupoints, Old Ji’s eyelids twitched. This fellow wasn’t mistaken, he began the Second Realm in April, and now, in just over three months, he has opened another ten.

While discussing acupoints, Lu Chenzhou also remembered something,

"Master, I’ve got news that the military has established a scalable cultivation of a Yellow Grade rare bird, the ’Rainbow Iris Pheasant,’ in a newly discovered oasis.

Soon the Enlightenment Elixirs from various Martial Arts Universities should open up for supply, extending to all Martial Artist groups, and the prices are expected to be reduced. You should keep an eye on it."

Ji Xuantong’s eyes lit up and laughed,

"Hahaha, that’s great news."

With his current peak rate of opening acupoints, plus the Enlightenment Elixirs, Old Ji felt, he had hope to successfully break the second barrier before his disciple rose to Great Grandmaster!

Qingtian Cang also showed a complex expression and said,

"Although war is cruel, we intermediate Martial Artists also benefit from it. The conditions for cultivation nowadays are indeed much better than before. Within my lifetime, I also dare to pursue the once unreachable Grandmaster Realm."

Ji Xuantong was delighted and laughed,

"That’s great. My master is a Grandmaster, and my disciple has the aura of Absolute Peak."

You guys are awesome, I’ll quietly breakthrough the second barrier.

The arrival of Lu Chenzhou dissipated the tense atmosphere.

Before long, the door to the practice room opened.

Shi Ruyu sat on the ground, pale-faced, taking Martial Arts Supplements.

The protector, Ji Feiyan, wiping the sweat from her forehead, exclaimed,

"Hahaha, the three children of Feiyan, all Martial Artists!"

Lu Chenzhou noticed that Shi Ruyu did not take the Protecting Acupoint Pills.

He clapped vigorously, sincerely saying,

"Congratulations, Sister!"

Shi Ruyu, looking at her family outside the door with moistened eyes,

chuckled as she sniffled,

"Little brother, what brings you here today?"

Ji Feiyan laughed cheekily,

"Heard you had a breakthrough, flew all the way from Dali."

Ji Xuantong, without a word, handed over a big gift package,

"Here, disciple, a gift prepared by your master."

The Breakthrough Realm gift package, still produced by the old friend, Martial Medicine Factory No.6, contained various medicines used to stabilize realms, replenish deficits, and heal injuries.

A complete set starting from 1 million.

"Thanks, Master, love you!"

Shi Ruyu took the package, hugged Old Ji, and today, she was especially excited and lively, hugging everyone in the sect, including the cooking aunt.

For her, being a Martial Artist was once a distant dream, finally realized as she neared thirty—a true late bloomer compared to Lu Chenzhou.

Stepping away from Lu Chenzhou’s arms, Shi Ruyu said, "Little brother, I didn’t use the medicine, you take it back." She wasn’t being pretentious, just objectively assessing that her own abilities were sufficient to break through without external aid.

Lu Chenzhou smiled,

"Let’s keep it here, just in case a family member or friend needs it."

Qingtian Cang suggested,

"Time to eat, now our sect is also considered prosperous. Ruyu, you can ask Chenzhou and Feiyan for advice next, plan your future path."

"Okay."

At the dinner table, Ji Feiyan said,

"Ruyu, you first stabilize your realm, learn some True Skill, and once you’re ready, we two will follow the junior brother’s wandering route, take a trip, and try our luck."

Old Ji said,

"Understanding Li is not about luck, it’s about strength; Fist Theory is very important. Chenzhou, still so young, is already at the Fifth Realm in Fist Theory, something others don’t have."

Shi Ruyu said,

"I plan to enhance my Martial Arts foundation, specialize in Ape Form Fist, add a Stick Technique to my repertoire, and then like my junior brother, immerse myself in war."
