Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Depths Beneath the Surface

Six Harmonies Saber Skill, simple and unadorned, straightforward and brisk.

Lin Zheyu, combined with Qi Blood, his Qi Force astonishing, each saber strike was full of powerful force, overwhelming in momentum.

Swish, swish, swish

Golden Swan Skill was unleashed, integrating into the attacks of the Six Harmonies Saber, Lin Zheyu moved swiftly in the courtyard.

Saber lights filled the entire garden.

It was as if he was venting, every move made with all his strength, rapidly consuming physical energy, sweat soaking his clothes.

An hour later, his complexion became somewhat pale.

Strength, speed, and stamina dropped significantly.

His strength felt a bit feeble, but hadn’t reached the limit yet.

After another half an hour, he finally felt a trace of exhaustion.

Persisting for another six or seven minutes, Lin Zheyu’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit instantly twined together, feeling an elevated sensation.

He had finally broken through his limit.

Leaning on his saber, breathing heavily, the exhaled breath rustling the leaves on the ground.

After reaching the Qi Blood Realm, his breaths were long, his lung capacity extremely astonishing.

[Heavenly Dao rewards diligence]

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source Power: 3

Skills:

Wild Bull Fist (Mastery 5%)

Golden Swan Skill (Fourth Layer 13%)

Turtle Breath Skill (Third Layer 0%)

Six Harmonies Saber Skill (Mastery 12%)

”I guessed correctly, this time indeed only added 1 unit of Source Power.”

Lin Zheyu looked at the data in his consciousness, the Source Power behind it had become 1.

The last time he broke through the limits, it increased two units of Source Power at once, and now it’s back to one unit.

”That means every time I break through the limits now, I gain 1.x units of Source Power.”

”As my strength continues to improve, this x will gradually increase until one day it becomes two units of Source Power.”

Lin Zheyu spoke to himself.

Resting on the ground for a moment.

Even though he is already a Martial Artist of the Qi Blood Realm, after breaking through the limits, he’s still so exhausted that he does not want to move.

However, the advantage of reaching the Qi Blood Realm is a quicker recovery.

The Qi Blood just now has been completely exhausted, but after reaching the Qi Blood Realm, the energy contained in the blood is extremely immense.

Although already feeling fatigued, still able to extract threads of Qi Blood through exertion.

Qi Blood flowed throughout the body with the blood, spilling into the muscle cells, nourishing the weary body, accelerating physical recovery.

After resting for a while, Lin Zheyu felt his body not as sore anymore.

Qi Blood is like the reserve energy for a Martial Artist, not only can it burst out immense attack power, but also accelerate recovery.

”Continue to elevate the Golden Swan Skill.”

”As strength improves, the Source Power required to elevate each layer increases too, to elevate the Golden Swan Skill to Fifth Layer, at least 5 units of Source Power are needed.”

Lin Zheyu spoke to himself.

He feels even with the strength of the Qi Blood Realm, it still isn’t very safe.

Upon hearing Mr. Xu say that the City Lord’s strength is immensely powerful, able to suppress a city alone, Lin Zheyu was extremely shocked.

Every city’s City Lord is appointed by the Emperor of Great Wei.

Depending on the size of the city, the importance of its geographical position, assigning a City Lord with corresponding strength.

Songyi City is merely an insignificant small city, yet the City Lord’s strength is this powerful.

If every city’s City Lord is this powerful, how terrifying must be the strength of the rebel army to conquer so many cities.

”This world’s depth is much deeper than imagined!”

Lin Zheyu murmured.

...

The medicinal soup in the pot was not yet done simmering.

Just over three hours have simmered twice, needing another simmer to fully extract the medicinal potency from the ingredients.

Pour out the simmered soup, adding water to continue simmering.

Simmering until afternoon, the medicinal potency in the ingredients was fully extracted.

Picking up the medicinal soup, he drank it down.

This bowl of medicinal soup contained as many as eight sets of Blood-Nourishing and Bone-Strengthening Soup ingredients.

A hot sensation spread through the body, without the previous discomfort.

The Blood-Nourishing and Bone-Strengthening Soup is indeed a potent soup only drinkable in the Qi Blood Realm, after drinking the soup, the increase in Qi Blood speeded up a bit.

He carefully experienced this feeling, then cleared his mind, thoughts communicating out.

’Use 3 units of Source Power, elevate the Golden Swan Skill.’

In an instant, mysterious energy surged forth.

Spirit entered a special state, Lin Zheyu began exhaustive exercise tirelessly.

He felt time rushing by, ages passed in ceaseless exercise, the Qi Blood within continuously grew.

The Qi Blood that previously permeated the blood now coalesced into a mass of blood-colored misty energy, flowing with the blood, nourishing himself.

Under the nourishment of Qi Blood, the body underwent a secondary transformation.

Lin Zheyu once again experienced why it’s said that Qi Blood is the foundation of Martial Dao.

Having Qi Blood, the nourishment and strengthening of the body is unmatched by ordinary people.

Under the nourishment and strengthening of Qi Blood, his physique evolved, increasingly strong, the muscle fibers tightened.

Each muscle contained extremely terrifying mighty force.

A few breaths passed.

Lin Zheyu opened his eyes from endless exercise.

The modification of the body was completed.

A booming sound emanated from the blood, dense Qi Blood energy flowed with the blood within the vessels, circulating throughout the body.

Lin Zheyu felt his body saturated with explosive power.

[Heavenly Dao rewards diligence]

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source Power: 0

Skills:

Wild Bull Fist (Mastery 5%)

Golden Swan Skill (Fourth Layer 67%)

Turtle Breath Skill (Third Layer 0%)

Six Harmonies Saber Skill (Mastery 12%)

”Up to 67% progress, still need 2 units of Source Power to elevate to the Fifth Layer.”

Lin Zheyu looked at the data, continued exercising.

After rising to Fourth Layer 67%, the Qi Blood within the body increased substantially, circulating with the blood throughout the body.

He controlled the Qi Blood energy, infused into his arms.

The influx of Qi Blood caused the muscles on his arms to swell slightly, becoming somewhat menacing.

”Huh!”

Feeling the explosive sense of power from his arms, Lin Zheyu exhaled lightly.

His gaze became sharp, gripping the saber tightly, slashing outward, releasing a chilling saber energy.

”No, the arms can’t withstand too much explosive force from Qi Blood.”

Lin Zheyu frowned.

Just now, when Qi Blood force infused both arms, the muscles and fascia in the arms transmitted a sense of tension. When slashing with full strength, a slight sound emanated from the arm bones.

This is the power bursting from Qi Blood force, exceeding the maximum endurance limits of the arms.

If in combat, even if he killed the enemy with that strike, his arms would fracture.

”Looks like I need to elevate the Wild Bull Fist or Six Harmonies Saber as well.”

Lin Zheyu contemplated.

His breakthrough to Qi Blood Realm relied on Golden Swan Skill, the iron-like forged bones only in his legs.

The Wild Bull Fist and Six Harmonies Saber were only in the Early Stage of Bone Forging Realm, unable to withstand too much explosive force from Qi Blood.

He thought for a moment, decided to focus on Wild Bull Fist, elevate its realm.

Wild Bull Fist primarily cultivates fist skills, all strength is in the fists. Elevating Wild Bull Fist will allow his arms to reach iron-like forged bone degree.

Then using Six Harmonies Saber would also be able to withstand the explosive force of immense Qi Blood.

More importantly, during these days of cultivating Wild Bull Fist, Lin Zheyu vaguely sensed a mysterious significance from its fist skills.

This mysterious significance is something he hasn’t sensed from Six Harmonies Saber and Golden Swan Skill.

Within Wild Bull Fist, it seems to hide a certain fist momentum.

If cultivated to a profound level, perhaps it can be comprehended.
