Chong Enters the World of Martial Arts_2

Translator: 549690339

Boom!

Once again, his blood and Qi increased, encompassing Meng Chong within.

After enduring for half a moment, Meng Chong finally couldn’t keep up. He was huffing and puffing, his whole body’s skin was burning red, his muscles were trembling, and his bones were making faint noises.

To temper the body, to spur potential, to break through the bottleneck; it’s not something that can be done once or twice.

“Junior brother, let’s end here today. We will continue tomorrow!”

Xu Yan ceased his actions.

“Alright, thank you, senior brother!”

Both of them returned to the courtyard. Li Xuan glanced at Meng Chong, quietly nodding.

Even though Meng Chong’s bottleneck hadn’t been broken, advancing to the tempering stage of Vajra Lucid Bone, there already had been some improvement. The bottleneck had loosened a bit.

In the following days, Meng Chong was tempering his body under Xu Yan’s bombardment of Qi and blood. However, he was still just a little bit away from breaking through the bottleneck.

After thinking for a bit, Li Xuan believed that if they continued to temper like this, there was a chance to break through the bottleneck. However, it would take a significant amount of time.

Thus, following another session of tempering, Meng Chong’s bottleneck had loosened slightly. However, he was still a bit away from a complete breakthrough and needed a little catalyst to stimulate this.

Li Xuan took out a spirit crystal. Reflecting on the technique in the Blood Demon Sutra, on how to absorb essence blood, he slightly adjusted the technique, using his true Qi to absorb the spiritual energy within the spirit crystal.

For Li Xuan right now, this wasn’t much of a challenge.

His strength was in clear sight.

Extracting a strand of spiritual energy from the spirit crystal, Li Xuan guided it into Meng Chong’s body with a casual wave of his hand.

Shh!

In that instant, Meng Chong’s Qi and blood boiled like it was being stimulated, and it felt like it was being replenished. A roaring sound resounded from within his body.

Meng Chong was overjoyed.

He hurriedly channeled his Qi and blood, beginning to cultivate the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield.

Puff!

A muffled sound echoed within his body. His bottleneck was broken, his Qi and blood once again began to temper his bones.

At this moment, a faint lucid brilliance appeared on his golden bones.

“Thankyou, Master!”

Meng Chong gratefully bowed to Li Xuan.

“Cultivate well and gain entry as soon as possible.”

Li Xuan nodded.

He put away the spirit crystal. For him at his current stage, these two spirit crystals were precious.

If Xu Yan were to have a breakthrough to the Innate Realm and encounter some bottlenecks, he might also need to absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit crystal to aid him in making a faster breakthrough.

The faster his disciple enhanced his strength, the faster he could enhance his own strength.

“Yes, Master!”

Meng Chong nodded excitably.

“Junior brother, when you’ve gained entry, let’s spar again.”

Xu Yan suggested expectantly.

“Alright!”

Meng Chong nodded.

“Master, I need to go home.”

Xu Yan thought for a while. He should try to achieve the complete realm of Qi and blood in these few days.

He should also go home and guide his family in cultivation.

“Go on.”

Li Xuan nodded.

Xu Yan wasn’t far from achieving the perfection of the Qi and blood realm.

This was just a matter of a few days.

However, achieving the perfect Qi and blood realm did not imply that he could immediately achieve the Innate Realm.

He needed to consolidate his cultivation for a while before he could start breaking through.

And breaking through also required time.

Meng Chong was cultivating Vajra Lucid Bone. He was getting stronger every day and in less than a month, he could probably complete the tempering of Vajra Lucid Bone.

Shi’er was full of envy.

He too had begun the bone refining process. Only after personally experiencing the bone refining process did he understand the difficulty of it.

During the initial stage of bone refining, the pain of being gnawed by countless ants was really unbearable. Those with a weaker will would scream out loud.

Once one screamed, the Qi and blood would be interrupted, and the bone refining would stop.

In this way, the completion of bone refining was extremely difficult.

Shi’er, with his strong will, barely managed to endure it several times.

However, he finally gritted his teeth and pulled through the most difficult stage.

At this point, he could feel the changes brought about by bone refining. His strength had significantly improved.

“I dare not hope for golden bones, aiming for bronze bones is my goal!”

Shi’er set a goal for himself.

One’s own family knows one’s own situation best. The goal of golden bones was too lofty, he couldn’t achieve it due to his lack of innate talent. Bronze bones were still achievable.

“Your disciple Xu Yan has reached the perfect realm of Qi and blood, your true

Qi has improved.”

Xu Yan had fully broken through the Qi and Blood Realm, and the feedback from the Golden Finger had arrived.

“The feedback is somewhat less due to a realm difference, but the True Qi has also increased by about twice.”

Li Xuan sighed lightly.

Although his True Qi had increased twice, he was still in the beginner stage of the Innate Realm, his power had improved furher.

“The clarity of my Sword Heart has reached its peak, the foundation of my Sword Dao is complete. Should I try to understand the essence of Sword Intent?”

Li Xuan couldn’t help but ponder.

After a long while, unable to grasp the essence of Sword Intent, he cast it aside.

“Never mind, such strenuous tasks are better left to my apprentices.”

Now that Xu Yan had fully broken through the Qi and Blood Realm, he was on the cusp of reaching the Innate Realm. Li Xuan hoped that Meng Chong could enter the Martial Arts, striving to cross the Qi and Blood Realm before Xu Yan’s breakthrough into the Innate Realm.

What kind of feedback would the second apprentice get from practicing the newly revised Cultivation Technique?

More importantly, under the assistance of the Great Solar Golden Bell, his defense would be enhanced.

Can he stand motionlessly, with martial artists in the Inner Domain unable to break his defense?

After Xu Yan fully broke through the Qi and Blood realm, he returned to the small courtyard and started to consolidate his realm in preparation for breaking through to the Innate Realm.

He would often go outside Yunshan County, sitting on the mountains, attempting to comprehend the Sword Intent and practice the Descending Dragon Palm, trying to grasp its essence.

However, there had been no significant progress yet.

Ten days after Xu Yan fully broke through the Qi and Blood Realm, during a practice session, Meng Chong began to emit a faint lustrous golden light, his aura undergoing a transformation.

Li Xuan watched silently, his second apprenticeship was about to begin Martial Arts.

Shi’er watched from afar, full of envy. Meng Chong was about to begin his Martial Arts, but his own journey seemed indefinitely far away.

“No wonder the Master accepted him as a disciple, his talent is too powerful. I’m also fortunate to have the opportunity to touch martial arts, practice it, and serve the Master.”

Shi’er couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

At this moment, Meng Chong, enveloped in the lustrous golden light, gradually morphed into a golden bell encasing him.

With time, Meng Chong seemed to have turned into a gold figure, with a majestic momentum in concentration.

Li Xuan nodded in approval: “This second disciple of mine, he has a resemblance to the Arhat Vajra. It truly fits him to pass down the Great Solar Golden Bell.”

Crack!

Suddenly, a sound rang out, akin to the snapping of tendons and bones.

The lustrous light on Meng Chong’s body started to intensify. His muscles were trembling, and the sound of thunder began to emanate from within.

The qi and blood turned into the lustrous light, condensed into the golden bell, merging with his flesh and blood.

A rampant aura, like a storm, was emerging from Meng Chong.

Boom!

The thunder roared, the golden bell appeared!

Thud!

With the appearance of the golden bell, it seemed as if the sound of a bell was ringing.

Blood Qi turned golden bell, lustrous gold light, enveloping Meng Chong, the sound of thunder getting louder.

Some neighbours were looking at the sky, puzzled. How come there was thunder on such a clear day?

Could it be that the County Magistrate has lost his morality?

So, there was thunder in clear weather?

Or perhaps, does Yunshan County have any great grievances?

Li Xuan frowned, flipping his palm, with True Qi surging out, covering the courtyard, concealing the momentum of Meng Chong’s breakthrough.

Roar!

With a loud roar from Meng Chong, the snapping sound of tendons and bones echoed, Blood Qi solidified into a golden bell, his body emitting a lustrous golden light, his muscles becoming far more robust, his stature increasing slightly with the movement of his Blood Qi.

His robust and stocky figure had grown even more muscular.

Almost bursting out of his leather pants.

“I, have begun Martial Arts, the Great Solar Golden Bell, I’ve entered it!

Meng Chong was extremely excited.

At this moment, he could feel his own strength.

Even steel couldn’t compare to the strength of his own body.

In an instant, the golden bell was enveloped, any attack could be ignored.

No weakness existed within him, other than violently breaking his own defense, there were no other methods to damage him.

He had a feeling, unmatched by others in the same realm, able to sweep everything aside.

Shi’er was shocked by Meng Chong’s ferocious aura. This was just the beginning of Martial Arts, it was already so terrifying?

He had a feeling that even if his own Blood Qi realm was accomplished, he wouldn’t be a match for Meng Chong who had just entered.

The gap was too vast.

“Come on, use the precious blade to strike me!”

Meng Chong excitedly beckoned Shi’er.

Directly instructing Shi’er to use the precious blade Xu Yan had gifted.

“Alright!”

Shi’er did not hesitate this time.

Wielding the precious blade, he rushed forward, using all his strength to swing a hefty blow towards Meng Chong.

Finally, as the second disciple began his Martial Arts, Li Xuan revealed a radiant smile, ignoring Meng Chong testing the blade with his flesh. The long-awaited feedback from the Golden Finger had finally arrived..
