Chapter 273: Chapter 202 Becoming a Grandmaster i

Chu Yuqin had just turned to leave when Chu Qingli’s tightly wound emotions reached a critical point, suddenly releasing, her mind going blank and her consciousness blurring completely.

If not for a large hand encircling her slim waist, her delicate body might have fallen straight down.

The moon was beautiful tonight, and the night was long. Spring had arrived, melted ice water trickled down from the rooftops, pitter-pattering onto stones.

The night at North Prince Mansion was not so quiet; apart from the pitter- patter of dripping water, there were occasional calls of special animals, sounds that were sometimes cheerful, sometimes shrill, making it impossible to discern what they were.

Lu Chen had noticed that whenever someone was about to discover them, that person’s emotions and body would become tense in an instant, and he would fly straight into the sky, no need to describe how.

This gave Lu Chen a little idea, in the future, he must trade with Chu Qingli more often, preferably in places where they could easily be seen by others.

After an unknown amount of time, the moon’s light gradually dimmed, and a streak of white appeared in the distant sky, signaling the break of day. By that time, the skill that Lu Chen had absorbed from the three individuals yesterday had basically been completely converted into his own.

Just at that moment, the system notification sound suddenly rang out.

[Ding! Host Lu Chen cultivates a bond with Chu Qingli, Qi Refinement Mantra experience increased by 600, Rejuvenating Skill experience increased by 1000, Dragon-Phenix Yin-Yang Spell experience increased by 1000, Absorption Technique experience increased by 1000. Host has triggered a super Emotional Crit, all cultivation techniques’ experience quadrupled.]

[Congratulations to the host, Qi Refinement Mantra breakthrough to the fourth level, host’s realm advanced to Grandmaster, Rejuvenating Skill breakthrough to the third level, Dragon-Phenix Yin-Yang Spell breakthrough to the second level, Absorption Technique breakthrough to the first level.]

With the system voice sounding, Lu Chen felt a strange power infuse his body, followed by his brain becoming incredibly clear, and his perception greatly enhanced; everything around him seemed to be within his senses.

Lu Chen tried closing his eyes to test his perceptual abilities, and in the instant he closed his eyes, he could notice the drip of water from the eaves outside the door, and everything around him appeared in his mind.

Even without his eyes, just relying on his perception alone, he could see this world clearly.

Is this the strength of a Grandmaster?

Lu Chen was astonished.

At that moment, a bold guess suddenly arose in his heart: could it be that the higher the martial arts realm, the more it evolves toward cultivation? Could the so-called Celestial Realm actually be the Qi Refining stage of cultivators?

In this world, there is an end to martial arts. The strongest known in martial arts is the Celestial Realm, and beyond that, no one knows what realm lies above it.

With Lu Chen’s breakthrough to Grandmaster, his body was also reshaped, becoming even more robust.

Chu Qingli also clearly felt the changes in Lu Chen. When she sensed the martial artist’s might emanating from him, she was completely stunned.

She had never seen a Grandmaster, nor knew their strength, but she had seen an Extreme Realm Master. Lu Chen had been one, so she knew what an Extreme Realm Master’s martial artist might was like.

The martial artist’s might that Lu Chen was now releasing was clearly not that of an Extreme Realm Master. In other words, Lu Chen was no longer an Extreme Realm Master; he had likely broken through the Grandmaster rank to become a Grandmaster.

Chu Qingli was somewhat dazed.

Grand… Grandmaster???

Could it be…

When Lu Chen was still a Grandmaster, she was no match for him, and if he had broken through to Grandmaster…

Chu Qingli could hardly believe what she would encounter next.

Grandmaster and Grandmaster are completely different concepts; a Grandmaster relies on Protective Gang Qi to fend off attacks, while a Grandmaster can withstand hits with just the strength of their body, without even using Protective Gang Qi, demonstrating the terrifying resilience of a Grandmaster’s body.

Lu Chen became a Grandmaster, which meant that his physical strength had once again greatly increased, his stamina dramatically improved. Before he could keep up with her all night, now he might be able to keep going for days on end without a problem.

Thinking of this, Chu Qingli’s drenched and pallid face went white, never having expected this man to break through to Grandmaster so swiftly.

How exactly does this man cultivate?

How could his strength increase so rapidly?

At this time, Lu Chen looked down from his high position at the ice beauty before him.

Seeing Chu Qingli’s pale face, Lu Chen said with a smile, “Qing Li, why has your face turned so awful?”

“Are you feeling unwell? Let me treat you.”

That said, Lu Chen placed his hand on her and started to heal her with Rejuvenating Skill, and soon Chu Qingli felt a warm current entering her body.

This warm current could not only heal some of her minor injuries but also quickly calm her frantic heart; once Chu Qingli quieted down, her expression turned cold again, and she gazed straight at Lu Chen saying, “This is the third time!”

Hearing this, Lu Chen laughed and then replied, “Aren’t you thinking a bit too beautifully? We haven’t been apart since last night, so how can it be counted as the third time?”
