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

Chapter 204 Crisis!

"Now, my physical attribute value has reached level 20.7, my originally weak mental strength has reached level 20.5, and the skill experience value of Heavenly Qi has reached 831 points. I only need less than 300 experience points to level up."

As Shen Bailian familiarized himself with his surging power, his eyes, which were as bright as stars, became deep and profound, like an abyss.

With his current mental strength, if he were to do it intentionally, a simple glance would be enough to make ordinary martial artists at the Life Establishment Realm fall into its clutches.

If Shen Bailian's own understanding of swordsmanship were incorporated into the mental impact, the effect would become even more terrifying; for example, the simplest way would be to kill anyone he glared at.

Of course, this only applies to martial artists whose mental strength level is below 10.0.

In the world of high-level martial arts, the strong crush the weak in an all-encompassing, overwhelming manner.

Even a single glance from a Divine Palace Realm expert would be difficult for an ordinary Moon Embracing Realm expert to resist, and their combat power would be weakened by 20% to 50% depending on their mental strength level.

Correspondingly, attacks from ordinary early-stage Moon Embracing Realm experts would hardly cause any damage to Divine Palace Realm experts, and even breaking through their defenses would be a problem.

"Now, with full concentration on cultivation, in about a day and a half, the experience points of the Heavenly Qi skill have increased by 40 points."

"If you continue to cultivate normally like this, it will only take about ten days to upgrade the Heavenly Qi skill."

"Upgrading the Heavenly Qi skill can increase the physical fitness level by a full 0.3 levels. This means that even if I don't cultivate with the help of the source power, I can still raise my physical fitness to level 21.0."

"To become a Sea Opening Realm expert!!!" In an instant, Shen Bailian held his breath and swallowed twice.

While deeply shocked, he also felt a slight worry, because even though he had anticipated it, he was still surprised by the speed of this improvement.

Before emerging from Cave World No. 98, Shen Bailian estimated that it would take him at least another month to break through to the Sea Opening Realm.

but now?

It took less than ten days.

It took Shen Bailian a full month or two to break through from the Establishment Realm to the Transformation Realm, but it took roughly the same amount of time to grow from the early stage of the Transformation Realm to where he is now.

His progress in strength not only showed no signs of slowing down, but instead intensified, becoming faster and faster, to the point that even he himself felt somewhat frightened.

"It's alright, it's alright... there shouldn't be any major problems." Shen Bailian took a deep breath, calming his shaken heart, and reassured himself:

"Keep it a secret for now, and as for how long we can keep it a secret, that's up to fate."

"Anyway, we shouldn't be exposed during this period. After all, according to the school calendar, there are only a few days left before winter break."

"Although my master has advanced to the Embracing Moon Realm, he is only at the initial stage of the Embracing Moon Realm. As before, it should be difficult for him to accurately detect my physical fitness level."

"As for Principal Xiong Kuohai?"

"Although the other party is already a veteran Divine Palace Realm expert, he is not in the Heavenly Gang Academy most of the time. As long as I use cultivation as an excuse, no one should be able to sense my strength in a short period of time without entering the detection chamber."

"..."

In less than a few seconds, with the support of his level 20.5 mental strength, Shen Bailian's mind worked at an extremely fast speed, and many ideas appeared in his mind, almost all the situations he could foresee.

Because the walls of the underground training room in Congyun City are made of special materials, they can greatly shield the senses, allowing cultivators to immerse themselves in their training without being disturbed by the outside world.

Even with Shen Bailian's near-second-tier mental strength, it would be difficult for him to penetrate the wall made of that special material and perceive the specific situation outside.

I wonder if Yuwen Changkong has reached the time to leave the pass.

"In that case, it should be about right." Shen Bailian clicked on the smart bracelet, checked the time, and found that two or three hours had passed since he went into seclusion.

And this time period is roughly the same as what Cheng Shangwu said.

and so.

"Buzz~buzz~"

As the stone door trembled slightly, the door to training room 9527 was opened from the inside, and at the same time, the red light above turned green.

Upon seeing this, Si Buhui was overjoyed, knowing that Shen Bailian was about to emerge from seclusion, which was roughly in line with his previous prediction of the seclusion period.

He then glanced quickly at Cheng Shangwu, who was still stunned, and with a slight thought, he moved to the front of the stone gate.

Seeing this situation, Cheng Shangwu, although he had expected it to happen, still showed a slightly helpless smile. He felt that Si Buhui was being a little too concerned about Shen Bailian, who had not yet officially become a personal disciple.

This is the underground training room of Congyun City. Not to mention the two peak Sea Opening Realm martial artists, there are also heavy guards outside. What could possibly go wrong?
Just as Cheng Shangwu was about to follow them.

However, it only lasted for a moment.

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, the stone door, which had been opened from the inside with a gap wide enough for one person, was suddenly slammed shut again by Shen Bailian.

"Stop!" With a command from Si Bu Hui, an invisible aura spread out, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze instantly. Cheng Shangwu's figure stopped in place.

"What's going on? Is this old guy angry?!" Cheng Shangwu sensed the stagnant air around him, and a fleeting thought flashed through his mind.

Seeing this, Lei Zhentian frowned slightly. Just as he was about to speak, he felt a surge of powerful spiritual energy sweeping towards him, and his mind felt like a small boat in a storm.

Shaky.

They can barely protect themselves, let alone say anything.

However, out of Cheng Shangwu and Lei Zhentian's sight, Si Buhui, with his back to them, showed a look of horror on his face, his eyes became serious, and his muscles trembled as if he had seen a ghost.

"This, this...this is the late stage of the Transcendent Realm?!?!"

"Although this guy's martial arts talent is top-tier, isn't this range of strength a bit too large?"

"There's a secret. Xiao Shen definitely has a big secret!"

Thinking back to that casual glance, even though it was just a fleeting moment, a wave of unease washed over her once more, because it was truly terrifying.

From a physical fitness level of 19.0 before the mission, which was the late stage of the Transcendent Realm, he directly improved to the peak of the Transcendent Realm in less than a few days, and he wasn't even just entering the peak of the Transcendent Realm. His physical fitness level must be at least 20.5.

Although Shen Bailian had already entered the fourth level of martial arts skill, the subtlety of the technique, and that glimpse was only for a moment, he was still a powerful expert in the Divine Palace Realm at the top of the Great Xia Dynasty.

As long as the opponent's martial arts realm is at or below the mid-stage of the Embracing Moon Realm, Si Bu Hui can roughly detect their martial arts realm with just one glance.

As for whether it is the effect of the original power of Cave 98?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
The primordial power generated by a cave world with a maximum energy level of only 31.0 could absolutely not have such a significant effect on a Transcendent Realm martial artist.

Otherwise, would such a treasure be left to ordinary warriors on extermination missions to search for?

"Should we..." As he looked at the stone door so close at hand, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, an extremely dangerous thought.

However, the next moment.

"My lord, I...I...I apologize on behalf of this worthless student." A panting, slightly trembling voice suddenly rang in Si Bu Hui's ears.

Cheng Shangwu looked at the silent, unrepentant man in front of him and trembled with fear. A bad feeling arose in his heart, and he quickly said loudly, "If a son is not taught, it is the father's fault; if a student is not taught, it is the teacher's fault."

"If Xiao Shen's behavior just now offended you, sir, please consider that he is only a 17-year-old minor. If you have any anger, just take it out on me. I will have no complaints."

Even though I know that saying this is morally blackmailing the other person and is very likely to add fuel to the fire, directing my anger at him.

However, whether it was out of brotherhood with Duan Wuyai or for the sake of his professional ethics, Cheng Shangwu had no choice but to do so.

"Yes, Third... Sir, please consider that the child is still young and doesn't understand. If there's anything wrong, just point it out to Old Cheng."

Seeing that Si Buhui was facing away from the two of them and remained silent, Lei Zhentian assumed that the other party had been angered by Shen Bailian's impolite behavior, so he gritted his teeth and stepped forward.

"It's alright, don't worry. Why would I get angry at my own disciples?" Si Bu Hui shook his head and said with a slight smile, "Thank you for reminding me, you two little ones."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shangwu and Lei Zhentian immediately relaxed.

Since Si Bu Hui has already mentioned the words "personal disciple," it means that Si Bu Hui is not truly enraged, but there is something that makes the two of them a little puzzled.

That's why there was a hint of mockery mixed in with his smile when he said those words, even though he was determined to die.

"It's been too long. It seems we've been too peaceful for too long, and this damned mentality has developed." Si Bu Hui bit his lip tightly, his teeth digging deep into it, and blood with a faint golden glow seeped out.

The strength of those in the Divine Palace Realm lies not only in their physical prowess, which allows them to withstand the bombardment of nuclear and hydrogen bombs, but also in their powerful mental strength.

It is powerful in every aspect, with no weaknesses.

Therefore, as soon as Cheng Shangwu opened his mouth to speak, Si Buhui had already awakened from his previous state of greed, anger, and ignorance.

"Since I'm free for the time being, I'll take a trip to the South China Sea. I remember there's a dragon there that's almost reached the fourth tier (Cataclysmic level)." A dangerous glint flashed in Si Bu Hui's eyes as he thought to himself:

"It just so happens that Xiao Shen's martial arts talent has already reached the ceiling of top-level martial arts prodigies. Using this dragon pearl and its body as a gift for Xiao Shen to become an apprentice is not an exaggeration at all."

A fourth-tier dragon-level ferocious beast is a treasure from head to toe, especially the essence of the dragon pearl, whose efficacy is no less than that of the power of stars.

It can also improve the quality of the Force.

Using such a powerful dragon, comparable to the peak of the Moon Embracing Realm, as a disciple-acceptance gift is an unprecedented event in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

This is the first time in history!
However, a good horse needs a good saddle, and Lu Bu needs Red Hare. It's just a fourth-order dragon. Although Shen Bailian is still in the Transcendent Realm, given his martial arts talent, it's a bit of a waste of his abilities.

"I'm leaving now. Just send me a message when Xiao Shen comes out." After saying that, without waiting for Cheng Shangwu and the other person to reply, Si Bu Hui turned around and walked out without looking back.

……

"Bang bang bang!" "Bang bang bang..."

Shen Bailian's heart began to pound rapidly, like a thunderous drumbeat. After a few seconds, it gradually calmed down under the influence of the water elemental energy.

"Damn it, why is that old guy guarding the door?" Shen Bailian looked at the stone door in front of him and frowned slightly as he thought of that big face from earlier.

It could be said that he had anticipated almost every possible situation before this, but he had not expected that the old man, Shi Bu Hui, would block the door.

"Could it be that I didn't make myself clear enough last time? No way, I rejected that old guy like that, he wouldn't be so disrespectful as to disregard even the slightest bit of face for a Divine Palace Realm expert."

"Of course, the most important thing now is that the old guy must have already seen through my physical fitness level, otherwise he wouldn't have had that astonished expression." Shen Bailian's expression became uncertain.

This situation was completely beyond his expectations.

Or rather, Shen Bailian never imagined that a powerful expert like Si Buhui, who was at the Divine Palace Realm, would actually be shameless enough to pester him.

"Such a large gap in strength... this is getting a bit complicated." Shen Bailian's face grew increasingly grim as he looked at the gleaming 20.7 level of physical attributes on the panel.

In just a few days, his physical fitness level improved from 19.1 to 20.7, a jump of 1.6 levels.

If Shen Bailian were still in the martial arts apprentice stage, with the support of the source power, it wouldn't be impossible for him to reach level 1.6, or even level 3.0.

Even at the stage of establishing one's destiny, it's not that hard to explain.

Furthermore, there is now a more serious matter, to which explanation is secondary: will the fact that he is willing to die without regret lead him to greed and kill?

They imprisoned Shen Bailian and forced him to reveal the secret behind his rapid increase in strength.

Although the probability is small, it doesn't mean it's impossible.

Even the smallest probability represents a possibility of something happening, and Shen Bailian's life would be in danger. Si Buhui only needs a glance to kill him.

bet?
This is the thing Shen Bailian dislikes doing the most, especially gambling with his own life, which is something he cannot tolerate.

"It seems we still have to rely on this fragment of divine essence." Shen Bailian lowered his consciousness and saw the fragment of divine essence that was still being purified in the universe.
