Chapter 200: Chapter 199: An Elder at Home is a Treasure

”Dragon Transformation Realm Martial Arts...”

The old man saw nothing wrong with Wu Chen wanting Dragon Transformation Realm Martial Arts. To become a powerful expert, one had to dare to dream big.

If you don’t even dare to aspire to Dragon Transformation Realm Martial Arts, how can you ever reach the Dragon Transformation Realm without that kind of ambition?

But he spread his hands and said helplessly, ”Dragon Transformation Realm Martial Arts... I truly don’t have any to give you right now.”

”I see! I was getting ahead of myself.”

Wu Chen had only been taking a shot in the dark anyway. Given his master’s current condition, it was well within his expectations that he wouldn’t have any Dragon Transformation Realm Martial Arts.

Besides, given his master’s state, if he did have any Martial Arts, he probably would have dumped them all on him at once before saying his last words. He certainly wouldn’t be holding anything back.

’Looks like the top priority is still to find more Soul-Storage Pearls and cure Master’s amnesia.’

Wu Chen mused, rubbing his chin.

As long as he had a steady supply of Soul-Storage Pearls, not only could he get baseline Martial Arts for every realm, but combined with the effects of Deep Red, he could essentially skip the ”early stage” of every realm.

The prospect was terrifyingly powerful.

Besides, an elder in the family is a treasure.

In the future, when he encountered things he didn’t understand, he would have someone to ask. He would no longer be completely in the dark.

Having a master of unknown origin, realm, and background to clear up his confusion would not only be more convenient than searching through ancient texts, but the information would surely be far more detailed.

He was, one could say, another trump card of his, second only to Deep Red.

Despite these thoughts, Wu Chen didn’t plan to ask about things like the ”Overlord Body” clan or the ”Barbarian Race Secret Patterns” that could enhance his strength.

His master’s condition was unstable; there was no need to press him with such questions.

Moreover, obtaining three Leakless Realm Martial Arts this time was already a bountiful harvest.

”I know you’re a greedy brat, and perhaps that’s due to your status as a reincarnator, but I still have to give you a warning.”

Just as Wu Chen was about to examine the Martial Arts on the jade slips, he heard his master speak in a grave and earnest tone:

”Even if a reincarnator’s talent is extraordinary and far surpasses that of an ordinary person in every aspect, using Martial Arts techniques from a higher realm will still cause immense damage to your physical body.”

”A mismatch in realms isn’t as simple as the technique’s power being reduced.”

”This is especially true for the Dragon Transformation Realm. It’s a major threshold for a Martial Artist. Once you cross it, your cultivation is no longer just about internal refinement of the physical body.”

”You also have to turn outward and draw power from heaven and earth.”

”Therefore, Martial Arts techniques from the Dragon Transformation Realm and beyond can gradually channel the power of heaven and earth.”

”That is why the Dragon Transformation Realm is also known as the Mortal Transformation Realm—you are no longer a mere mortal.”

”Although the power of heaven and earth channeled in the Dragon Transformation Realm is far from as exaggerated as I’m making it sound, even a sliver of that power is real. It’s not something a Martial Artist below the Mortal Transformation Realm can withstand.”

”If some Martial Artists cut corners while advancing their realm, leaving their bodies without a solid and powerful foundation, they might be annihilated by the power of heaven and earth before they can even fully execute a technique, dying on the spot.”

”So, even with a great fortune like being a reincarnator, it’s best to proceed one step at a time. That is the safer path.”

”Thank you for your teachings, Master. Your disciple will take them to heart!”

After hearing his master’s words, Wu Chen’s expression grew much more solemn.

He had never really considered these things before. Now, after listening to his master and pondering for a moment, he understood the reasons and felt a wave of fear.

Even with the ’Body Like Adamant’ entry, which indicated his physique was far superior to that of ordinary people, and his High Tier silver Rhombic Crystal origin radiating a more vigorous life force...

...the combination of these two might make him seem invincible among Martial Artists of the same realm, but against the might of heaven and earth, it would be like a mayfly trying to shake a tree—courting death.

Forgetting everything else, if his master had pulled out a Dragon Transformation Realm Martial Art today, he inevitably would have wanted to test its power after Deep Red finished adding points.

Whether he would have lived or died was truly up in the air.

To not die at the hands of powerful enemies, but at his own... If word of that got out, he’d become a laughingstock.

This served as a wake-up call for Wu Chen. In the future, even if he came across a Dragon Transformation Realm Martial Art, he would have to hold back and wait until he reached that realm.

The main issue was that, based on his current understanding of Deep Red, it didn’t care about his realm or status, nor did it care whether he was willing or not. As soon as he looked at a Martial Art, it would start forcefully and violently adding points.

Previously, he hadn’t had the opportunity to jump ahead, so he had always followed the proper sequence and no accidents occurred.

But with a Martial Art that spanned across realms, there were no guarantees.

His life was on the line; Wu Chen didn’t dare to gamble.

’If I encounter a Dragon Transformation Realm Martial Art in the future, I have Deep Red anyway. The point allocation seems to take less than ten days, so there’s no need to rush.’

’Besides, I’m currently in the Leakless Realm. There’s an entire major realm—the Armor Forging Realm—between me and the Dragon Transformation Realm.’

’Trying a Dragon Transformation Realm Martial Art now might be very dangerous, but perhaps by the Mid Stage of the Armor Forging Realm—or the Late Stage, to be safe—I should be able to give it a try...’

’But all of this is just idle talk right now, because I don’t even have a Dragon Transformation Realm Martial Art...’

Wu Chen pondered for a moment and was about to focus on the Martial Arts in his hand, but his master, who had been resting for a while after his long speech, spoke again:

”Martial Arts and one’s realm complement each other. I’m sure I don’t need to explain that; you’ve probably noticed it yourself, right?”

”Master, your disciple understands this.”

Wu Chen nodded and answered obediently.

He had a deep understanding of this point.

’Bone-Eroding Wind Blade · Stance’

This technique, which he had created during his time in the second realm of Martial Arts—the Flesh Refining Realm—by fusing the ultimate technique of the Blood Slaughter Sect, the Blood Evil Saber Art, seemed like a very low-tier Martial Art, but it had displayed incredible power just two days ago in the forest outside Qingfeng Manor.

Supported by his origin from the Sixth Realm of Martial Arts, the Blood Coagulation Realm, a soul-piercing shriek had enveloped an area ten zhang around him, instantly killing any enemies of a lower realm. It was truly a case of winning without spilling a drop of blood.

But Wu Chen could already vaguely sense the limits of this saber art. Even if his realm continued to rise, it seemed there wouldn’t be much of a change.

At the very least, it would certainly no longer have such a deadly effect against opponents of the same realm.

For instance, if there had been another Blood Coagulation Realm Martial Artist in the forest that day, they would have naturally used their origin to protect their mind and senses. In that case, the saber art definitely wouldn’t have had such devastating power.

Seeing Wu Chen nod in understanding, the old man continued:

”I can’t make any grand claims about these three Martial Arts you now hold, but I can guarantee they will be more than enough for you to fight others all the way to the Dragon Transformation Realm.”

”As for more advanced killing techniques beyond that... hmm, I’ll tell you when I remember them.”

”Hah! Enough to fight at the Dragon Transformation Realm!”

Upon hearing this, Wu Chen’s breathing immediately became heavy and hot.

Martial Arts that could grow stronger along with one’s realm were a rare sight!

”Also, after you’ve finished learning the Martial Arts this time, leave the jade slips with me. It will be easier for me to copy new Martial Arts for you next time.”

The old man added at the end:

”Last time, I thought this wisp of a soul would completely dissipate before you arrived, so I didn’t care about these worldly possessions. Now, I only have these few jade slips left. And it seems you’re quite capable...”

He truly hadn’t expected to see Wu Chen again. But since the boy was a reincarnator, their next meeting didn’t seem so impossible after all.

”In that case, I’ll try to come back sooner next time and bring more Soul-Storage Pearls, so that you can escape your prison and regain your freedom, Master,” Wu Chen said with a smile.

But the old man shook his head. ”You should worry about your own life first. Don’t be so aggressive and competitive. My business is secondary.”

Wu Chen nodded in agreement and said no more, turning his gaze to the jade slips in his hand.

[Pulse-Severing Dragon-Catcher · Precious]

[Mountain-Shattering Steps · Precious]

[Mountain-Breaking Saber · Precious]

With his eidetic memory, it took him less than the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn for the three Martial Arts to be branded onto his panel and begin upgrading on their own.

Except for the first one, the names of the other two Martial Arts seemed rather ordinary.

But Wu Chen knew these Martial Arts were anything but as ordinary as their names suggested.

Because they had a new suffix at the end!
