Chapter 141: Peak of Dirty Training! Slaying a Fourth-Order Evil Flood Dragon! Ascending to Number One on the Grandmaster List!
「In the Secret Realm.」
It was an even vaster and boundless ocean! But upon this vast ocean, several islands were scattered like stars.
Compared to the forests, the ocean was clearly more dangerous.
Without properly refining their lungs to enter the ocean, how many Martial Artists could hold their breath and fight Mutant Beasts? Moreover, underwater, there was also the presence of extremely strong water pressure! How much of a Martial Artist's strength could be exerted here?
Therefore, even though East Sea City's Class C No. 1 Heaven and Earth Secret Realm had been discovered very early on, there were still some Martial Arts Grandmasters who had not been able to enter it to this day.
The medicinal effects of the Marching Pill permeated his body. Feeling the satiation in his stomach that could last for several days, Jiang Shu entered secluded Cultivation.
The entire world became silent in an instant.
He dove, and countless fish-type Mutant Beasts appeared before his eyes.
A one-eyed giant frog, recklessly unaware of the danger, leaped fiercely toward Jiang Shu.
With a horizontal push of his palm, Jiang Shu unleashed the Xuanwu True Force. The water coalesced into a long spear that directly pierced the one-eyed giant frog.
SQUELCH.
The palm-sized single eye was burst open by the water in an instant.
Blood spilled out.
At the same time, the surrounding water formed a small whirlpool, whirling the one-eyed giant frog madly.
In just a few short seconds, the mighty one-eyed giant frog, considered incredibly powerful by Dark Force Martial Artists, died in the very water it excelled at navigating. Its organs were completely shattered.
The "Four Symbols Internal Energy," able to utilize the true force of the four organs, ranked sixteenth among the Da Jing Dynasty's Middle Grade Cultivation Techniques. Its True Force's mysterious nature was the key!
Once the Xuanwu True Force reached Perfection, a Martial Artist would then be the true sovereign of the waters!
Second Rank Mutant Beasts fled helter-skelter. Within a radius of dozens of meters, no other living creature remained.
Jiang Shu hovered there, his entire being merging with the seawater.
On his panel, the proficiency of his Xuanwu True Force gradually climbed.
Time, along with the flowing water, slowly drifted away.
「Half a month.」
「A month.」
The Xuanwu True Force had already reached small success. But given the rare opportunity, how could Jiang Shu possibly leave the Secret Realm?
He moved from the outer periphery to the Inner Circle.
Third Rank Mutant Beasts became increasingly numerous and more powerful. But no matter how strong they were, they were no match for him!
With all four True Forces at small success, his five organs were completely refined!
The "Four Seasons Blade Technique" was also cultivated to small success during this period!
Spring Rain! Summer Thunder! Autumn Wind! Winter Snow!
On the ocean surface, Jiang Shu dashed rapidly. The four True Forces merged and surged as he fiercely slashed out with the alloy battle blade in his hand!
A Third Rank white Mutant Shark turned its tail to flee.
But the blade was faster!
BANG!
Huge splashes surged on the ocean's surface.
The white shark's body was instantly sent flying! Half of its tail exploded under the impact of the Summer Thunder! Its blood scattered like a gory rain. Its back bore a long, gruesome gash.
The shrieks echoed through this area.
Jiang Shu leaped up, the alloy battle blade plunging directly into the white shark's head!
A Class C Heaven and Earth Secret Realm has Third Rank Mutant Beasts just in its periphery. Now that I've reached the Inner Circle, I could very likely encounter Fourth Rank Mutant Beasts. I wonder how formidable these beasts are!
He dragged the white shark's corpse back to a nearby island.
Jiang Shu started a fire and consumed the flesh, rich in potent vital energy, piece by piece.
After a brief digestion, he continued forward.
If it were an ordinary Grandmaster, they probably wouldn't dare to venture further upon reaching this point. Even if they applied for a Class B sniper rifle and explosives from the army, they might not necessarily be able to inflict harm on a Fourth Rank Mutant Beast.
Between each Realm, there was a chasm-like difference, like that between clouds and mud!
Jiang Shu did not know just how terrifyingly strong the Great Grandmasters of Martial Arts in the Xuanxing Xia Country were. But in the Da Jing Dynasty, from various secret records of the Danxia Chamber of Commerce, he fully understood the warriors of the Blood Exchange Realm!
The Blood Exchange Realm. Here, power refined the marrow. Refining Marrow Like Frost! Transmuting blood into mercury! Possessing a strength of one hundred thousand catties! And this was just the most superficial aspect of the Blood Exchange Realm.
Upon reaching the Blood Exchange Realm, even if one's limbs were severed, there was hope to regrow them with the aid of Heaven and Earth Treasure Medicine! In terms of lifespan, another sixty years were added! Allowing one to live for a full one hundred and eighty years! Even in death, the body would not decay! Vital energy Perfected! Physical body Perfected!
At this Realm, if not for the cataclysmic changes also occurring on Xuanxing, one could truly be considered a person who had attained the Dao!
Such was the strength of those in the Blood Exchange Realm. This was to say nothing of the Fourth Rank Mutant Beasts, which were even more formidable physically! Any Fourth Rank Mutant Beast would have strength exceeding one hundred thousand catties!
Admittedly, compared to Martial Artists, Mutant Beasts lacked Martial Arts and thus couldn't inflict amplified damage. But when facing a Martial Artist of a lower Realm, the power of a Fourth Rank Mutant Beast was a case of "strength overcoming all techniques"! Which Hua Jing Master could possibly withstand that?
It was precisely because of this that Shang Siguo, by managing to snatch a cub from a Fourth Rank Mutant Beast's lair, was considered incredibly powerful. He directly and indisputably became number one on the Grandmaster List!
Currently, my 'Four Symbols Internal Energy' is at small success, 'Four Seasons Blade Technique' at small success, and 'Hurricane Three Changes' at Great Success. It seems decent, but in reality, it's only enough for me to kill those within the same Realm. If I encounter a Fourth Rank Mutant Beast, these Martial Arts are still insufficient. For instance, my movement technique still lacks explosive power.
It's just a pity that creating Martial Arts is far more difficult than creating Elixir Recipes. Otherwise, I would have even wanted Zhang Rui to create a Martial Arts AI for me.
The Martial Arts exchange at the Danxia Chamber of Commerce is too expensive.
Even for the Martial Arts of the Xia Country, the required points are extremely high. It's just that points are somewhat easier to obtain than the Chamber's Contribution Value.
