We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Chapter 179 Elder Shen Xinghe
"Huh?" Fourth Elder Chen Chaoyang looked at Shen Xinghe with disbelief, as if he had misheard. "Not only are you not going to punish Si Buhui, but you're even going to give him a gift?"

"No, absolutely not! Our Starry Sky Martial Hall must not do such a thing. It would be too disgraceful."

"What, since when do I need your permission to issue orders?" Shen Xinghe glanced at Chen Chaoyang indifferently.

This Fourth Elder is good in every way, except for one flaw that isn't exactly a fault: he basically doesn't hide his emotions and says whatever comes to mind.

Just like now, in the dome-shaped conference room, after Shen Xinghe gave the order, apart from Chen Chaoyang, the other elders and deacons remained silent.

"Xiao Wang, if you have time these next few days, go to the No. 3 Small World and pick out a rare and precious natural treasure that can help you break through to the Sea Opening Realm. It's best if it's something valuable, not as stingy as some other people." Shen Xinghe looked at a young man sitting on his left.

"Okay, I can go there today." Xiao Wang glanced at the glaring "someone" intentionally or unintentionally, then immediately looked away and nodded awkwardly.

Swish!
After speaking, Shen Xinghe gave Chen Chaoyang a cold glance, and without further hesitation, his 3D projection disappeared from the dome conference room in an instant.

"Tyranny! Shen Xinghe's actions are absolutely tyrannical! Just because he's a Grand Elder doesn't mean he's so great!" As soon as he was sure Shen Xinghe had left, Fourth Elder Chen Chaoyang jumped up.

"Yes, I am tyranny." Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out again in the domed conference room:
“However, Fourth Brother, you said something wrong. It’s not that I’m great because I’m the Grand Elder, but rather that the Grand Elder is great because I’m the Grand Elder.”

All of a sudden.

The elders and deacons who were about to log off froze in place. Some of them seemed to understand something, and an unbelievable joy suddenly appeared in their eyes.

confidence!

This shows Shen Xinghe's absolute confidence in his own abilities!
Although it is true that the Grand Elder of the Starry Sky Martial Hall acts arbitrarily, it is already a privilege unique to the Grand Elder.

However, looking back at the past Grand Elders, all of them were powerful enough to overwhelm many elders and deacons, but none of them dared to utter such confident, even arrogant, words in public.

Unless, Shen Xinghe is already... about to enter that realm.

"Damn it." Fourth Elder Chen Chaoyang suddenly realized what was happening, looked around at his colleagues, and said angrily, "That First Elder is shameless, he actually eavesdropped on our conversation."

However, Shen Xinghe's voice did not ring out in the dome-shaped conference room this time.

Shen Xinghe had actually heard Chen Chaoyang's foul language, but he knew Chen Chaoyang's personality too well. He just needed to ignore Chen Chaoyang and let it go for a few seconds.

"Rank can crush you, especially since the First Elder is far stronger than you. Just accept your fate." The Fifth Elder chuckled as he glanced at Chen Chaoyang, then logged off.

The shock he felt at Shen Xinghe's words was indescribable.

If Shen Xinghe has truly taken that step, then their Starry Sky Martial Hall will undoubtedly reach new heights, and there is a considerable probability that they will become Martial Gods.

After all, Shen Xinghe was only eighty or ninety years old, which was still infancy for a Divine Palace Realm expert whose lifespan was enough to reach tens of thousands of years.

Subsequently, the other elders and deacons also chose to log off.

"Pervert! It's one thing if you eavesdrop on women, but to eavesdrop on a group of grown men? I really don't know where you developed this weird habit," Chen Chaoyang cursed.

He knew perfectly well that what he had just said would not escape Shen Xinghe's ears.

So after saying that, Chen Chaoyang immediately went offline and sent a text message to his disciples. Without waiting for them to see it or not, he left the headquarters of the Starry Sky Martial Hall.

He knew he had a straightforward personality, but he was almost a Divine Palace Realm expert, so what was wrong with complaining a bit when things happened?

However, Shen Xinghe might take his anger out on him at any time, so it's best to go out and avoid trouble first, and also see what's so special about Shen Bailian.

It was astonishing that he could make Si Bu Hui willingly leave the Starry Sky Martial Hall and join the Heavenly Gang Academy in order to take him as a disciple.

This is really strange.

Strange things happen every year, especially this year.

……

Shen Bailian is still unaware that Xiong Kuohai not only failed to help him politely decline Si Buhui's offer, but also sold him off at a special "price".

At the same time, he was unaware that the information about Si Bu Hui wanting to take him as a disciple had been uploaded to the Great Xia Heavenly Body Database and sent to every Divine Palace Realm expert in Great Xia.

However, even if Shen Bailian knew, he wouldn't care.

After all, his current strength is still relatively weak; he is merely a weak late-stage Transcendent Realm martial artist who can only fly for short periods of time.

You can't fight city hall. Having more masters means having more options, especially since he's a Divine Palace Realm expert. As long as he doesn't regret dying and doesn't do anything to Duan Wuyai, that's fine.

"Divine Palace Realm, such powerful strength." Shen Bailian, dressed in a black outfit, stood in the underground martial arts training room, his eyes bright: "He can actually create things out of thin air."

"No, it should be said that it involves the power at the molecular level, controlling the reordering and recombination of molecules. In some worlds, this is enough to completely impersonate the creator."

Compared to the naked-eye observation of Yuwen Changkong and others, Shen Bailian possesses the divine skill [Eye of God]. As long as something is within the range of the Eye of God, nothing can hide from it.

Therefore, he clearly saw the changes in the molecular environment around him, a power that no ordinary person could possess.

At that moment, Shen Bailian even had a feeling that if Si Buhui was willing, he could eliminate him at the molecular level with just a glare.

This is also why he was so devoted to his heart at the time.

"Can martial arts really reach this level?"

Shen Bailian gripped the Dragon Slayer tightly in his hand, silently feeling the flow and resonance of its power, so subtle and detailed, without any further obstruction.

He even felt as if he could faintly hear the roar of the dragon-slaying warrior.

If it were before, Shen Bailian would most likely have taken it as his own hallucination. After all, this is a world where physical laws still exist, and he had never heard of the existence of artifact spirits.

But today.

It can be said that Shen Bailian and the Dragon Slayer in his hand are no longer separate; they have truly become one. Compared to the false "man and weapon as one" in the second stage, this is now a true man and weapon as one.

"Martial arts can really reach this level!" Shen Bailian felt his own condition, and his eyes became even more dazzling, shining like stars.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, the Dragon Slayer in Shen Bailian's hand moved. His swordsmanship changed abruptly. His original swordsmanship was simple and unadorned, but now the blade transformed into streaks of dazzling golden light, spreading throughout the entire underground training room.

The speed didn't seem particularly fast, but those who truly understood the situation knew that it was like a spinning electric fan; the dynamic vision of ordinary martial artists simply couldn't keep up with the speed of his blade.

As time goes by.

Faintly, the surrounding天地元力 (heaven and earth energy) seemed to be drawn to the dragon-slaying sword like moths to a flame, constantly converging towards it, while the rolling, vast sword light shot out in all directions, beautiful and dazzling.

this moment.

Shen Bailian truly felt the terrifying power of the fourth level of martial arts technique, the "Microscopic Insight". If the third level of martial arts technique, "Breathing of All Things", is the limit for increasing a martial artist's combat power, it is about 25%.

So, the maximum increase in combat power that can be achieved by mastering the fourth level of martial arts techniques is about 40%, and this increase is useful even for experts at the Divine Palace Realm.

Two martial artists at the Transcendent Realm with equal physical abilities, one having mastered the fourth level of martial arts techniques, the other not, could instantly kill the latter in a second. This is something far beyond the reach of those at the Myriad Breathing stage.

Furthermore, as the blade flashed and the Divine Eye was activated, Shen Bailian faintly sensed a strange principle of heaven and earth, a trace of the ultimate rule of the Earth Origin Star's operation.

However, Shen Bailian is still too weak at the moment, his martial arts realm is too low, and he does not have enough power to understand that trace of ultimate rule power, let alone use it.

However, he could sense that by combining the characteristics of his own innate talent and making simple use of it, the power contained in the Dragon Slayer was made even more terrifying, and the speed of the Dragon Slayer was made even faster.

Regardless of the type of martial arts technique, or the level of martial arts technique or martial arts realm, the goal is to acquire great strength, and to acquire great strength is to gain the upper hand in battle.

To win a battle, one must possess unparalleled strength and extreme speed.

With the blessing of this trace of rule power, Shen Bailian's strength and speed were enhanced in all aspects.

Each strike amplified the power by 50%, making it as heavy as Mount Tai, causing the surrounding air to surge violently, and an invisible aura spread out.

With each strike, the speed increased by 50%, and the aurora-like light made the surrounding golden light even more dazzling, with several invisible blade energies radiating outwards.

This is the ultimate rule.

The most powerful offense is the best defense.

"Entering the subtle, the energy flows freely." Shen Bailian understood the true meaning of entering the subtle more and more. He felt the energy in his body that could be gathered into one at any time, and he couldn't help but show joy.

Before reaching the fourth level of mastery, martial artists focus on improving their martial arts realm and physical fitness level in order to gain greater power and speed.

However, for true martial arts prodigies, their martial arts realm should advance along with their martial arts skills, pushing the power within their bodies to its limit and conforming to the laws of the universe.

Going against the will of Heaven is something that should only be done as a last resort.

After all, the mysteries of heaven and earth are the true path, and only by comprehending them can one quickly obtain power beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"This time, I really owe a lot to Teacher Duan and the Third Elder of the Starry Sky Martial Hall. Otherwise, given my previous state, I would have needed to go through a perfectly timed life-or-death battle to enter the Microscopic Realm." Shen Bailian's swordsmanship became increasingly smooth.

In a sense, it is no longer just basic swordsmanship, but a path of swordsmanship that has been comprehended and is uniquely his own.

As the saying goes, the master leads you through the door, but the rest is up to you to cultivate yourself.

Martial arts training can be facilitated by a large number of rare and precious materials, but martial arts skills depend entirely on the martial artist's own level of comprehension.

Compared to yesterday.

"Now my strength and speed have both improved significantly, and my martial arts skills have also entered the fourth level of subtlety. If I were to face my past self, I should be able to finish the battle within a minute," Shen Bailian thought to himself.

He has always been quite sensitive to data; this is a natural talent stemming from his academic genius.

Time passes bit by bit.

Congratulations! Your physical attribute has been improved!

Congratulations! Your Spirit attribute has been improved!

Two notification messages suddenly popped up on the panel.

However, Shen Bailian had already habitually chosen to block out the panel, letting his consciousness sink into every part of his body, immersing himself completely in cultivation.

Another half hour passed before Shen Bailian slowly stopped, not because he was tired, but because it was almost time to set off.

"I never imagined that mastering the subtle would have this other benefit."

"It seems that once I reach the Sea Opening Realm, with sufficient mental energy and nutrients, I can grind experience points continuously for 24 hours a day, without stopping." Shen Bailian felt his own condition and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

This is completely different from his state after yesterday's cultivation. Now his body is only slightly tired, and his mental energy has not been depleted much.

The difference between yesterday and today is that today I have entered the fourth level of martial arts skill.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting." Shen Bailian turned her head and looked at Yuwen Changkong standing at the door, a look of apology on her face.

"It's alright, hurry up and catch up, we're about to set off." Yuwen Changkong shook his head expressionlessly, then turned and walked straight out.

Reality.

"Such strong perception." Yuwen Changkong was deeply shocked when he thought of what had just happened, and a sense of defeat arose in his heart once again.

Even though the other party was completely immersed in practicing the sword technique, why could he still sense his presence?

Can't understand it at all.

In any case, Yuwen Changkong was certain that before he entered the Sea Opening Realm, he would not be able to cultivate wholeheartedly while also taking care of his surroundings.

"They're here." Shen Bailian smiled slightly and then quickly followed.

At the same time, his eyes flickered slightly, and a panel, both illusory and clear, appeared before his eyes—

Character Level: LV9 (1756/3000)

Physical Strength: 19.1; Spirit: 19.1

【Eight-in-One Great Sun Visualization Method LV2 (240/900)】

Divine Skill: Shadow Follows LV6 (0/160) (Energy Storage: 1 times)
Eye of God LV2 (316/700)

Active Skill: Gale LV2 (531/600)

Tian Gang Qi LV3 (605/1100)

Basic swordsmanship LV4 (980/1100)

Basic Breathing Techniques LV3 (1099/1100)

Passive Skill: Iron Body LV5 (270/2000)

【Cure point: 0】

[Divine Matter: 302]

The three skills—Swift Wind, Basic Swordsmanship, and Basic Breathing Technique—have all reached the point where they are about to be upgraded, and all the gains from this time in the interlayer of the world can be attributed to myself.

At that time, even if Shen Bailian's strength is accidentally exposed, he will have enough reason to openly and honestly display his strength to the world.

It can be said that everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.

Like a roc rising with the wind, soaring ninety thousand miles high, Shen Bailian is determined to be an eighteen-year-old martial artist at the Opening Sea Realm, a feat unprecedented in history!
