Chapter 515: 0334 Great Increase in Strength, Top of the Hidden Dragons (4k)_2

Lu Chenzhou’s embrace grew tighter and tighter, until golden flames blazed on his arms.

The woman’s expression changed: "Stop, you’re holding me too tight... I can’t breathe."

The golden flames soared into the sky, and the woman’s figure was severed at the waist, turning to ashes in the fire.

Her twisted visage questioned: "Why did you do this? Don’t you like them?"

Lu Chenzhou’s eyes shone with golden light, silently watching the woman disappear.

Pushing marriage proposals even in illusions, it’s ridiculous.

Such trivial Lust Soul, how could it possibly affect his Dao Heart?

Heavens above, he truly had no improper thoughts towards Senior Shangguan Xue!

Lu Chenzhou surveyed the Arhat Hall, and suddenly his eyes flashed.

In the corner, there were rows of solemn and peeling Arhat statues, not a single one missing, just the right number of 18.

It is known that the Buddhist methods of the Three Thousand Worlds often originate from the Four Great Daoist Sects.

Therefore, similar myths and legends often circulate in different worlds.

Experts verified that this was caused by the Qi Refinement practitioners of the Great Wilderness, showing miracles in the Three Thousand Worlds.

Lu Chenzhou leapt forward, arriving at the last Tiger Subduing Arhat statue.

The other Arhats held nothing in their hands, except this one, which held a faintly glowing ancient Zen stick, its surface rusted and worn.

A Zen stick is a magic artifact used by monks during meditation to ward off sleep.

From the foot of the mountain to here, it was the first time Lu Chenzhou saw a weapon that wasn’t decayed.

His intuition told him this must be the Divine Weapon of this realm.

He drew the Zen stick, and the Tiger Subduing Arhat statue could no longer withstand the test of time and collapsed with a roar.

Faintly, a sound akin to grand bells and majestic drums echoed in his mind.

A familiar feeling surged into his heart.

"Dao Yun?"

This feeling was very faint, the scene fleeting.

Vaguely, he seemed to see a blood-red thin dog’s shadow swallowing the round moon in the sky.

Hereafter, a blood moon would descend upon the human world.

...

Practice Room.

Lu Chenzhou opened his eyes, divine light piercing the void.

His Sea of Consciousness surged, spiritual power continuously rising, until it reached 136 prajna.

He rubbed his brow, looking at his right hand, empty.

He had a feeling, that was a Divine Weapon.

Unfortunately, there was no way to bring it out.

Luckily, besides him, there were no living beings in Lantuo Temple; it would likely still be there when he next entered.

He now had the Spell Seal Skill, with defense taken care of.

What he lacked, first was an attack method, second a weapon.

He opened the Lantuo Temple chat group, there were already ten group members, mostly Grandmasters and masters.

The weakest were him and Xuan Kong, the two geniuses.

[Mingxin: Major intel, I made a breakthrough today, entered the temple’s Scripture Pavilion, saw some ancient secrets.]

[Tuo Tian Head Monk: Let’s hear it.]

[Mingxin: Under Sajia Temple, there’s a supreme demon supressed, it likely has Six Realms strength.]

[Xuan Kong: Six Realms? Before the demon invasion, the highest combat power of this world was just at our Great Grandmaster level.]

[Mingxin: It is said to be suppressed by the twentieth reincarnation of the living Buddha from Sajia Temple using some treasure. I read the texts and learned this world was originally called the Da Li Dynasty. Later, demons invaded, civilization broke down, after the apocalypse, only a few sects suppressing treasures survived, rebuilt their mountain gates on the wasteland, searching for survivors.]

[Tuo Tian Head Monk: So far, only the Xuan Grade Pavilion and Sajia Temple remain untouched.]

[Mingxin: No, there’s one more, located deep in the sea, hidden outside the realm... named the Hanhai Sect.]

[Lu Chenzhou: Senior Mingxin, do you know the name of this world?]

[Mingxin: No, the world has no name, neither does our human world, perhaps only the Great Wilderness would name the worlds.]

After sharing intel, Lu Chenzhou asked: "Sword Spirit, have you heard of the Hanhai Sect?"

[No, why, have you found the Hanhai Realm?]

The Sword Spirit sounded somewhat excited.

"Perhaps... not sure."

[Sigh, even if you found it, with your strength, who knows when you could cross realms.]

"You’re looking down on me, aren’t you?"

[I’m stating facts... However, if you practice Sword Dao and with my assistance, stepping into the Heavenly Realm within a hundred years is no problem, breaking the void in two hundred years.]

"If I practice Sword Dao, can you make me reach the Ninth Step?"

[Your talent? Doubtful, unless you collect your master’s secret treasure, alas, if that Daoist hadn’t died early, he had the most potential to inherit my master’s Dao lineage.]

Lu Chenzhou thought to himself: You may look down on me, but not on my tree bro, don’t underestimate a young man!

...

A month passed, autumn arrived.

September 12.

In the Inner Scenery Land, the 210th star in the sky took shape.

The opened acupoint stars twinkled in unison, like a drone show, forming mysterious and intricate patterns through their arrangement.

Starlight cascaded like a waterfall, spanning across the heavens and earth.

Qi-Blood spring rain nourished the soil, turning the grass green.

True Qi mountain flood merged into rivers, flowing continuously.

In the Extreme North, a cold dragon exhaled and inhaled Qi Mechanism.

In the Western region, a red crane flew high against the wind.

In the Divine Palace, a yellow dragon roared at the sky.

The Blood Lotus in the clouds... The Five Elements Treasure Qi also grew, being nourished.

At the Martial Arts peak, the young man had already stepped onto the Third Observation Deck of the Second Spiral.

"Acupoints are at the End Realm, only 60 more to break through the Third."

acupoints is the minimum for End Realm, breaking through the Third Realm requires 270 acupoints.

In the 55 times gravity room, Lu Chenzhou casually threw a punch, Qi-Blood roared like a dragon.

[Current Qi-Blood 242 points...]

[Current Energy Level: 60 dings...]

"This acupoint resonance raised my Qi-Blood by several points. The power of my normal punch now far exceeds the limit of the Second Realm."

For a normal person, even with maximum Qi-Blood and acupoints in the Second Realm, the power of a punch would only be around 50 dings.

And he still had much room for improvement.

"At my limit, even without a Divine Weapon, I could likely contend with the Third Realm."

After resting, he immediately started his battle trip and went to seek out the Mantis Demon.

Removing armor, putting down his weapon... he fought solely with Mountain Lord Fist Blade.

The power of the almost perfect "Mountain God Demon-suppressing Fist" was comparable to the "Heavenly Destiny Mystic Tiger Fist."

Man and demon battled for three hundred rounds.

In martial arts, speed conquers all.

"Die!"

Lu Chenzhou’s fist blades crossed, pushing outward, dazzling light scattered the demon blade. His muscle shook, thrusting forward, stabbing the fist blade into the Mantis Demon’s abdomen.

Disembowelment executed in one swift motion!

At this moment, the Mantis Demon’s wing blade also slashed towards him.

After a harsh grinding noise, the Mantis Demon collapsed, a golden light burst forth.

Lu Chenzhou was slashed at the waist, his death close.

Unable to dodge, he was ultimately killed by the damned golden worm.

"Ha ha ha, I won, I won using my fist technique!"

This time, without the help of a Divine Weapon, he slew the Third Realm demon using only a regular C9 alloy fist blade!

In the practice room.

Lu Chenzhou gazed at the Martial Arts Tree; "Mountain God Demon-suppressing Fist" gleamed radiantly.

[An inspiration, yielding twice the result with half the effort!]

...

Midnight.

Lu Chenzhou retracted his stance and stood firm, exhaling a long breath of white mist.

His eyes glimmered like a tiger’s, majestic presence overwhelming.

[Mountain God Demon-suppressing Fist: Small Success (100%) → Great Success (1%)]

Qi-Blood surged like rivers, flowing endlessly, filling and strengthening his entire body.

After measuring, his Qi-Blood value had reached 260 points.

"It seems I should slow the progress of ’Tiger Demon Tai Sui Technique’, wait until breaking through the Third Realm before pushing forward."

Next, he had two horizontal training methods, one Qinggong, and various Qi-Blood enhancement techniques.

If Tiger Demon Tai Sui advances too early to the sixth level, it would inevitably saturate, ultimately wasting Qi-Blood, unless he could obtain a Xuan Grade Treasure that greatly boosts Qi-Blood limit.

...

The next day.

At three o’clock in the morning, Lu Chenzhou woke up on time.

He was bombarded with messages as soon as he opened his phone.

He checked the Genius Class 1 group, a bunch of messages @ him.

[Old Tian: Am I blind? How did Chenzhou jump to first place on the Hidden Dragon List? Did Chenzhou do something big again?]

[Chen Xiaoyun: Probably bonus points from the World Championship... It can’t be that he has broken through the Third Realm.]

[Xiao He: Envious, I’m ranked 400 looking up at you all.]

[Wang Hongdao: Sigh, I barely climbed to the top 200...]

[Leopard Woman: Chenzhou, you must treat us when you return to Su City!]

[Yao Cheng: I wonder how Yuan Gong feels... His position wasn’t even warm before Chenzhou snatched it.]

[Zhou Xingkong: Senior Sun is also almost 35 years old, he’ll be off the list soon.]

Lu Chenzhou opened the Hidden Dragon List he hadn’t checked in a long time.

[1st place Lu Chenzhou: Total points 660,000]

"And I’m first just like that."
