Chapter 472: 0305 Turns Misfortune into Fortune (4k)_2

"The Buddhist methods originate from the Spiritual Cultivation Method of Po Suo Ancient Country, the Kongwen Divine Monk imparted this method to me, and it’s more in line with the Refining Heart method of Da Xia Martial Arts. I had intended to start cultivation after advancing to become a Martial Arts Master. Now it seems, I might as well give it a try ahead of time."

Supreme Divine Skills, profound and complex, are usually started by Grandmasters or even Great Grandmasters.

Lu Chenzhou was just planning to test it out, and if it was too difficult, he would temporarily set it aside.

Reflecting on the recent battle, what surprised him the most was the might of "Dusk of the Gods."

With this Killing Move, his energy level had surged 3.3 times in an instant, breaking through into the three digits.

That spear thrust had the power of an ordinary strike from a Third Shackles Breaker.

He was merely at Intermediate Cultivation Level, his Qi-Blood, his True Qi, there was still much room for improvement.

Paired with his spirit power that far exceeds others at the same realm, he felt...the shackles and chasms...didn’t seem as insurmountable anymore.

"However, this battle has also revealed some defense issues. The level of Ming King Body and Golden Body Skill is too low; facing a Third Realm formidable opponent, they seem inadequate. If not for the Cold Silkworm Robe blocking it, the Mantis Demon’s dual swords sliced down... the outcome might have been grim."

After reaching Perfection with Ming King Body, Lu Chenzhou had yet to start Cross Training new skills.

After all, Second Realm enemies posed little threat to him.

But today’s battle served as a warning.

Witch God Sect, Blood Hidden Tower, Snow Domain Demon race...

Several forces of dark evil were looking for opportunities to assassinate him stealthily!

For this, they even would not hesitate to launch a small-scale battle.

His enemies were Third Realm, even Fourth Realm powerhouses.

He couldn’t possibly let others protect him at all times.

The world did not revolve around him.

One must don thicker armor, whether of the flesh or of the spirit.

"Ghost Tiger Domineering Body..."

Lying in the hospital bed, Lu Chenzhou logged into the War Merit Store.

He clicked on the [Cross Training Area].

["Ghost Tiger Domineering Body",

A Superior True Technique, the secret of Evil Tiger Lufang, only second to the "Dragon Elephant Heaven-Supporting Divine Skill" as a top-level true technique. In the Cross Training Martial Arts of Da Xia, it ranks within the top three. Once mastered to Perfection, one has immense strength, and muscle strength and density that can clash with Intermediate Divine Weapons.

This cross-training skill incorporates the entire body, including the cultivation of important human body protection points, and reaching Great Success is akin to having an Unblemished Golden Body. Exchange price: 10,000 battle merits (Vajra Group members enjoy a 50% discount, including a Lufang teaching video and cultivation technique notes)]

"Five thousand battle merits, for such a level of true technique, it’s practically a giveaway."

But such a difficult method, few would likely practice it.

The reason being, it’s too hard.

Lu Chenzhou pondered:

"Lufang’s lifetime of cross-training expertise and insights are all in this ’Ghost Tiger Domineering Body’. I will use this as a blueprint to extract the essence and discard the dregs, combining it with the cross-training martial arts I have mastered, to assimilate and integrate, and try to forge my own cross-training path."

Vajra Unbreakable Body.

True Martial Undying Body.

These two major realms of cross-training are what Lu Chenzhou was pursuing.

After consideration, he ordered the "Ghost Tiger Domineering Body," bringing his war merit balance down to 1300.

Another step away from the Ten Thousand Years Cold Flowing Slurry.

However, this damned assassin should be enough to earn it back.

"I’ve also lost my Spiritual Artifact, I need to find a way to get another."

Lu Chenzhou opened the Equipment Area, browsing through.

"Not much there, and the prices are even higher than ordinary Divine Weapons...

Low-Class Spiritual Artifacts are no longer of much use to me.

I need an Intermediate or above Spiritual Artifact so that after stacking it, I will have no concerns about the Spiritual Attacks of anyone below Grandmaster Realm.

As for a Grandmaster... I should be able to resist, at least not instantly collapsing mentally.

However, the strength of a Grandmaster makes it much harder to fight across realms."

Grandmaster is a significant turning point within the current seven realms of martial arts.

One, a Grandmaster’s Qi-Blood is vast, their True Gang as expansive as the Five Lakes and Four Seas, the Three Mountains and Five Mountains.

Two, a Grandmaster’s intent can project from the "Inner Realm" onto the "Outer Realm."

The so-called Outer Realm, naturally, is the real world.

This means that through externalization of intent, a Grandmaster can form an atmosphere, mobilize the power of the Five Elements locally, and change the environment around them.

If one cultivates Fire Attribute Martial Arts, a thought may cause flames to engulf the land of the Outer Realm.

With Water Attribute Martial Arts, a thought, and waters flood Mount Jinshan.

In short, by this point, they possess a hint of what ordinary people perceive as "Immortal God Power."

Hence, they are also referred to as "Land Immortals."

Beyond this, Great Grandmasters, Heavenly Kings, and those at the Absolute Peak, every step is a world apart.

A thrust of the Sea Covering Saint Spear directly stirs up vast waves, as if the sea were surging backward.

Daoist Dongyue, capable of moving mountains, possesses strength that has become unmeasurable.

Ancients that achieved the immortality of Land Immortals liked to claim they have "Entered Dao."

Because at the Grandmaster Realm, one transcends mere ’superhuman’ and begins to... transcend the ordinary and embrace the sacred!

After searching, Lu Chenzhou finally found a Spiritual Artifact that seemed quite decent.

[The Arrow of Fantian, a relic of the Po Suo Ancient Civilization’s Spiritual Masters, capable of resisting and launching spiritual attacks, valued at 50,000 battle merits]

"It’s a medium-grade spiritual artifact, so expensive... even more costly than a divine weapon."

There’s no helping it; these things are rare even in Po Suo Ancient Country, let alone in Da Xia.

Sometime later.

With a piercing cry of a bird.

Inside the stronghold, a stunningly beautiful cyan bird descended.

Warriors all showed a guarded expression.

Master Duan said,

"Don’t panic, this is the precious avian mount of Master Blue."

Bai Miaomiao ran out with a smile and hugged the bird’s neck, saying,

"It’s called Little Qing."

Master Duan said,

"Miss Bai, Miss Zhou, you two escort Lu Chenzhou back to Dali City; it’s not safe here."

The defensive force in Dali City was far superior to the stronghold, and his father was in charge.

"Alright, Master Duan, please stay safe as well."

Two peerless geniuses piloted a flying carriage, taking Lu Chenzhou away under Little Qing’s escort, leaving the stronghold.

Master Duan too sighed with relief.

With Lu Chenzhou gone, the stronghold should be a bit safer.

This guy must have been targeted by an existence of the Demon King level or above from the Void Realm.

This is the walking death god’s constitution; better stay away from him in the future.

...

That evening.

Dali City.

After Lu Chenzhou was brought back, the military immediately arranged for the best doctors to treat him.

Master Duan also came to the sickroom, his gaze heavy.

If anything went wrong, he wouldn’t be able to face King Wang.

The doctor was surprised after unwrapping the temporary bandage,

"Good... if it had been any later, he would have healed on his own."

With this, everyone was completely reassured.

Lu Chenzhou’s physique was just too abnormal.

To be honest, Lu Chenzhou, who seldom got injured, also realized for the first time just how powerful his body truly was.

In the following days.

Lu Chenzhou was indeed enjoying a rare leisure time.

He didn’t mention his injury to Master Ji and the others to avoid worrying them.

The only person he told was Brother Wang.

His senior brother told him to properly heal during these days, and he would talk to the master about it when he went to Shan Zhou City.

The Blood Hidden Tower is a malignant tumor; it must be eradicated.

If they couldn’t defeat the Void Realm, it didn’t mean they couldn’t beat the Black Knight Organization; they were just hard to find.

These guys are like rats in the city sewers, hard to eradicate.

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

On the hospital bed, Lu Chenzhou practiced inner vision on his muscles, and the wounds on his internal organs were basically healed.

His bones were also knitting back together, a full recovery as before, needing a month.

But during this time, there was no hindrance to his boxing practice, only that he couldn’t engage in intense battle.

After the doctor’s examination, he said,

"You can be discharged, internally and externally cultivated, truly resilient."

Back home, the secret manual of "Ghost Tiger Domineering Body" along with the full set of disc materials were all delivered.

Lu Chenzhou unlocked his phone, and his balance of war merits increased by 5,000 points in one go.

These were rewards for defending the stronghold, not accounting for the body of that black-clothed elder in the storage bag.

Upon thinking of this, Lu Chenzhou took out the elder’s body.

"No external wounds, but internally dissolved into bloody liquid, such a terrifying spiritual attack."

Resisting the stench of blood, he organized the spoils of battle.

First was a samurai-styled sword, engraved with sakura characters [Famous Sword·Snow Woman Cutter].

"This is a divine weapon from Sakura."

Sakura’s martial arts belong to the uncertain, studying Da Xia, the Western styles, and even Po Suo.

Learning everywhere, but loose in all aspects.

They call themselves "samurais," "sword masters," "ninjas."

Divine weapons to them are "famous swords."
