I Have A Martial Dao World

Everyone saw Grandmaster Yu off into the distance.

Lu Yao said casually, "Senior sister, mind cleansing is not to be taken lightly, better take it slow, okay?"

Liao Ya, proud as a little hen, raised her head and puffed out her chest, "Junior brother, there's no need to worry. Within three months, I will have completed the Blood-Exchange. By then, we will be at the same realm and can have a proper exchange of skills."

Having said that, she sashayed back to her room with her beautiful hips swaying for her cultivation practice.

As she left, she threw a provocative glance at Lu Yao, as if to say: I'm not making it easy for you!

Lu Yao estimated - now replacing a tooth every four or five days, with 40 teeth to replace... Even if all goes well, it would take at least half a year to advance to the Innate realm, definitely unable to catch up with his senior sister's progress.

Seeing no hope of victory, he gritted his teeth: Damn it, you're forcing my hand!

Lu Yao actually had another trick up his sleeve - radiation cultivation.

Previously, in Chernobyl, his physical functions improved under the radiation environment, and the speed of his exercises significantly increased.

That wasn't even the innermost area, if he went further in, the radiation would be even more concentrated, which would certainly aid in his cultivation.

Lu Yao wished he could go there now and start training to achieve Divine Skill Great Achievement at an earlier date.

But he couldn't leave the Otherworld at the moment because Su Erya was about to start her Organ Refining.

The little girl was also experiencing that odd itch emanating from her bones characteristic of the final stage of Bone-Tempering, and lately, it was also accompanied by pain, as if her whole body ached like a toothache.

It was both itchy and painful, a severe ordeal, but a necessary step for the secondary development of her bones.

As a niece breaking into a new realm, Lu Yao, being an elder, naturally had to watch over her, just as Yu Yanmei had planned to watch over him.

Although he was certain Su Erya wouldn't have any problems, Lu Yao had to make sure nothing went wrong.

So he patiently stayed by the little girl's side for a few days.

During this time, he wanted to use his Inner Breath to help ease her pain, but females naturally have a higher tolerance for pain than males, and Su Erya was an especially mentally strong little girl who didn't even ask for Lu Yao's help.

Finally, on the fifth day, a series of loud cracks echoed through the courtyard!

Su Erya was practicing the Liao Family Fist - she could produce sound with each move without gathering her strength beforehand, the series of loud cracks merging into a continuous burst like fireworks.

She then leaped vigorously, jumping up to a height of six meters.

The little girl had finally completed her Organ Refining, and, coincidentally, today was her 12th birthday.

"Thank you, master, thank you, granduncle!" Su Erya knelt and kowtowed deeply in gratitude to Liao Ya and Lu Yao, and they did not avoid it, readily accepting her gesture.

Liao Ya, with a grandmaster's aura, said seriously:

"The Organ Refining Realm strengthens the internal organs and nurtures the Inner Breath to increase strength tenfold; it's the first qualitative change on the Martial Path. But this is just the beginning! The road ahead is long, and you must avoid arrogance and impatience, strive forward with perseverance. Remember this well!"

"I will keep my master's teachings in mind!" Su Erya kowtowed again.

Lu Yao helped the little girl up and said with a smile, "Alright, don't be so serious. This is a joyous occasion, and today is your birthday too."

Liao Ya sighed, her expression softened a bit, and she gently patted Su Erya's head, "You've grown so fast... You must not become complacent in the future."

Su Erya squinted her eyes like a little cat, "Master, rest assured."

At this moment, Lu Yao said, "Senior sister, there's nothing to worry about here now. I have to leave for a few days to try to advance to the next realm as soon as possible, to fulfill our agreement."

Liao Ya's face turned red instantly, "Don't even think about it!"

Lu Yao chuckled, "I'm surely going to reach the next realm before you, senior sister. You have to keep your word~"

Su Erya was stunned listening to their conversation! Her master and granduncle were having an affair!

"Come on, before I leave, I'll give you both a massage."

~~~~~~~~~

Before leaving, Lu Yao massaged everyone in the family.

Having completed her Organ Refining, Su Erya could now endure the full 'Art of the Dragon Slayer Manual'. With such favorable conditions, her future achievements were boundless.

Lu Yao could finally return to the Blue Star with peace of mind, ready to initiate the "Radiance Cultivation" plan.

Of course, following tradition, he certainly couldn't make the trip for nothing—he had to buy, buy, buy.

This time, however, Lu Yao was particularly confident—"Star Key" was already 51% charged!

All earned through hard work, rubbing his hands every day.

With so much energy saved up, he planned to ruthlessly fill the "Space-Time Bubble" with purchases from Blue Star, ready to whip out tanks, cannons, and the like to pummel his enemies at any moment~

Blue Star

In the snow-covered pine forest, a green spiral-shaped portal suddenly appeared.

The next second, Lu Yao emerged from it.

He was only 20 kilometers from Marshal's Tank Factory, so Lu Yao decided to go shopping first.

It was mid-February on Blue Star, the coldest season in Yukolun. This year, the temperature had plummeted to negative 30 degrees Celsius.

Snowflakes fluttered down, whitewashing the landscape in a vast expanse of ice and snow.

In such a season, Alexander was comfortably nestled in his warm office, enjoying a drink; Lu Yao's arrival came as a pleasant surprise.

"Ah, dear Lu, you are such a hardworking and busy person, not even resting in this hellish weather."

"Driven by life's demands," replied Lu Yao as the snow on his clothes turned to steaming vapor. He threw a bag of money onto the floor with a heavy, dull thud:

"This is the deposit. I want one tank with the same specs as last time; also two 155MM howitzers, three mechas; and yes~ three more Fire God Cannons and machine gun cannonballs."

Alexander buried his face in the money, inhaling deeply which seemed to invigorate him, sobering him up:

"No problem, but it will take some time... about a week. It takes a while to handle 'scrapped' equipment from the front lines."

"No hurry, I've got other business to take care of. Just make sure the quality is assured, and don't give me anything that's actually scrapped."

"You can count on my reputation," Alexander assured.

The two had collaborated many times, and they quickly finalized the deal in just a few words.

Alexander poured himself another glass of strong liquor. "Care for a drink?" he offered.

Lu Yao shook his head and stood up to leave. "No, thanks. I'm still busy."

Alexander downed his drink in one gulp: "We're all driven by life's demands."

With that, he too got up to attend to his business. He needed to contact the officers on the front lines and his own connections, maneuvering through various channels to coordinate the deal.

Marshal's Tank Factory was a bankrupt enterprise, unable to start its tank production line without orders. They could barely scrape by making AKs and 7.62 bullets—it was a miserable existence.

At present, their largest customer was Lu Yao!

Alexander didn't care who Lu Yao was, whether he was a terrorist or something of the sort—as long as there was money to be made, that was all that mattered.

Once a person grows old without enough retirement savings, their remaining years become a hellish experience.

This was a consensus among Alexander's social circle.

~~~~~~~~~

Lu Yao returned to the Ice and Snow World, speeding through the falling snow with great haste.

Such temperatures didn't bother him; if anything, the crisp cold was quite refreshing.

Maintaining a speed of 120 kilometers per hour, he sped towards the northern realm of Chernobyl.

This time he entered from the front, and Lu Yao discovered something interesting—this place, once dread-inducing to everyone, had now become a tourist destination.

Many photographers and internet celebrities braved the severe cold, seizing the opportunity during the ice and snow to capture the unique serenity of Chernobyl.

With 30 years gone by and the timely intervention by the Iron Alliance back then, the danger here had largely subsided; the outer areas were even starting to recover.
