Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 242 is amazing!
Hai Wuji knew that Gao Wu, his disciple, had a special talent and possessed several extraordinary abilities.

Gao Wu was away for more than twenty days this time, and his martial arts cultivation has greatly improved, much better than Hai Wuji had expected.

Hai Wuji felt that Gao Wu's martial arts talent had also improved, but there was no precise way to measure martial arts talent. As a martial saint, he could only draw conclusions through various observations.

What truly surprised him was the change in Gao Wu's physical condition.

The last time Gao Wu evolved overnight, his body became as sharp and fierce as metal, which manifested as his body having the power of a divine weapon. This change also led to a significant improvement in his reaction and speed.

It involves using technology to biochemically modify the body, and the human body also needs a process of adaptation and change.

The changes that happened to Gao Wu were nothing short of miraculous!
Hai Wuji was deeply impressed by this. He thought about it for a long time afterward but couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation. He could only attribute it to Gao Wu's powerful supernatural talent manifesting at the physical level, which was a special mutation.

Today, Gao Wu has clearly changed again!

Gao Wu's body was originally full of vitality, like a strong and vigorous sapling. Although it did not look tall, its roots had spread over a radius of dozens of meters.

Now, Gao Wu has grown from a sapling into a towering tree, yet it still retains the vigorous and endless vitality of a sapling.

People often describe youth as the rising sun, and Hai Wuji felt that the powerful and enduring vitality emanating from Gao Wu was so intense that it was almost blinding, truly deserving of the name "rising sun."

If you don’t understand, just ask!

Even the mighty Sword Saint Hai Wuji was a student of Truth; if he didn't understand something, he would ask directly.

Gao Wu knew what his teacher was asking. He had considered the question before he returned, but he really couldn't think of a reasonable explanation, an explanation that would convince the Sword Saint.

He could only grin and say, "Master, my abilities have awakened again!"

Hai Wuji laughed: "Good, good, good. If you awaken like this, it won't be long before you advance to level seven, and level eight will be no problem!"

He patted Gao Wu on the shoulder: "From now on, our lineage will depend on you to shoulder the heavy responsibility!"

Hai Wuji said to Chao Fengying, who was standing there dumbfounded, "Why aren't you awakening?"

Chao Fengying hadn't expected to be involved in this matter. Feeling a little wronged and helpless, she muttered, "Master, you didn't teach me either..."

"Ah, hahahaha..." Hai Wuji laughed heartily. This little apprentice was really fun.

He shook his head and said, "I don't know it either. This is your senior brother's unique skill. You should learn it from him."

Chao Fengying believed it to be true. She looked at Gao Wu with pitiful eyes, trying to act cute and charming to get her senior brother's secret technique.

Gao Wu hurriedly shook his head: "This is innate, it can't be taught."

The main problem is that Hai Wuji is unreliable; he jokes about such things. Chao Fengying is simple-minded and will definitely believe it.

It wasn't that he was reluctant to pass on the divine incantation; after verification by Shang Qingjun and Song Mingyue, the divine incantation was completely useless without the Book of Immeasurable Merit.

That said, Song Mingyue still benefited greatly from the divine incantation.

Even when the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra reached the Saintly Realm, Song Mingyue, who was far away in Anjing, also felt a resonance. As for how much benefit she gained, it was unknown.

The distance was too great, and although they shared a spiritual connection, they couldn't communicate directly. A phone call was also too insecure. They only exchanged a few words.

Anyway, it's a good change, and we can discuss the details when we meet.

Gao Wu believed that Song Mingyue benefited mainly from the stable spiritual connection between the two. When the divine spell was upgraded, Song Mingyue received a portion of the divine spell's blessing through the spiritual connection.

Others who wish to receive the positive blessing of the divine spell can only do so by establishing a stable spiritual resonance with him.

This is actually extremely difficult. He was able to establish a spiritual connection with Song Mingyue through a supernatural being, and Song Mingyue's spiritual power at that time far surpassed his. All these conditions are very demanding and almost impossible to replicate.

Gao Wu didn't want to replicate it; having a Xiao Song with whom he shared a spiritual connection was enough.

Hai Wuji knew that Chao Fengying was simple-minded, so he explained things clearly to avoid his little apprentice overthinking.

Chao Fengying also figured it out: her senior brother slept until noon that day without waking up, which clearly meant he had awakened his supernatural abilities.

The teacher is so mean, he even lied to her... Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly roll her eyes at Hai Wuji.

Hai Wuji ignored his disciple's little tricks and said to Gao Wu, "Your body has changed, so don't use any medicine for now. Just focus on your cultivation during this time and don't worry about anything else."

There are still some remnants of the Demonic Cult on Dongwei Island, mostly low-level martial artists, and not many warriors. Sending high-level martial artists to do these tasks would be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

The next day, Hai Wuji sparred with Gao Wu on the beach and discovered that Gao Wu had made great progress in specific martial arts techniques.

"When you use the Dragon-Slaying Sword, don't withdraw your source power too quickly. After dispersing it seven-tenths, there should be a pause, which is the process of changing from hard to soft. Don't rush..." Hai Wuji pointed to several acupoints on Gao Wu's body, reminding him to pay attention to adjusting the speed of his source power.

"So that's how it is!" Gao Wu already had a deep understanding of the Kanglong Youhui technique, and Hai Wuji's technical details made him realize the truth. He immediately made adjustments and unleashed the Kanglong sword once again.

Hai Wuji casually caught the Heavenly Fate Sword, but a hint of surprise appeared deep in his eyes.

He gave very specific instructions, but the adjustment and change of source energy is actually a very subtle state, and it's not something you can do just because you understand it.

In the past, Gao Wu would need at least a few days to gradually get the hang of things, but just now, Gao Wu immediately made adjustments according to his instructions and completely met his requirements.

Out of a desire to experiment, Hai Wuji pointed out some problems with Gao Wu, which were all relatively complex, but Gao Wu was able to make accurate adjustments quickly.

Hai Wuji didn't say anything on the surface, but he was even more surprised in his heart. The physical mutation was a superpower, so how could his martial arts talent have improved so much?

So, can martial arts talent be considered a kind of superpower?
Hai Wuji has always believed that martial arts talent is very complex, involving various aspects such as nature, wisdom, and body, and most of it is determined by innate genes.

A century of martial arts history has also proven that talent determines the upper limit, while hard work determines the lower limit.

Why do all the rules of martial arts fail at the advanced level?
However, this is precisely the kind of variable he likes!

Over the next few days, Gao Wu made rapid progress, condensing the source power of two Laogong acupoints in succession, resulting in a significant increase in source power.

Hai Wuji observed the process in detail. It was not difficult to condense acupoints, but the acupoints condensed by Gao Wu were stable and solid, full of endless vitality, and presented a beautiful blue eight-pointed star shape.

The octagonal star-shaped acupoint can hold and circulate source energy two to three times that of an ordinary martial artist. In terms of source energy, this acupoint is practically perfect.

A martial artist who has mastered twelve acupoints is equivalent to a high-level martial artist based on the number of acupoints. In terms of source energy cultivation, however, he has already reached the top level of martial arts master, and is not far from a sixth-level grandmaster.

Gao Wu's fist and sword skills have improved by leaps and bounds in the past few days, steadily reaching the level of a martial arts master.

In other words, excluding those superpowers, Gao Wu is now a powerful martial arts master.

An eighteen-year-old martial arts master is incredibly strong. Looking at the entire history of martial arts over the past century, such geniuses are extremely rare, even among all martial artists worldwide!

Hai Wuji believed that level eight was definitely not the limit of high-level martial arts!
If nothing unexpected happens, this young man's future achievements will far surpass his...

Thinking of this, Hai Wuji couldn't help but feel emotional, and he found Gao Wu pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at him.

Gao Wu was a little confused by the look in his eyes. He tentatively asked, "Master?"

"fine."

Hai Wuji smiled and said, "Your Crimson Flame Dragon Crystal Core is still somewhat useful, but if you want to upgrade your armor, you need to go back to Anjing. There's no technical capability here." Even bio-engineered armor can be modified through technological means. The Crimson Flame Dragon Armor is no exception.

However, the bio-armor is extremely sophisticated and requires the correct procedures to enhance. It's not as simple as just stuffing in a crystal core and expecting it to upgrade automatically.

"The Crimson Dragon Armor is at level seven. You haven't truly unleashed its potential yet, so there's no need to rush to upgrade."

Hai Wuji said, "I had them bring over twenty doses of Tyrant Dragon Potion. They're very pure. Try them first."

Gao Wu nodded vigorously; this was exactly what he wanted!
It would be such a waste not to use medication on such a great body.

Hai Wuji suddenly sighed, "If I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have agreed to Senior Brother's request!"

Given Gao Wu's current state, whether or not he learns the Dragon Form Fist won't have a significant impact. There's absolutely no need for him to risk going to the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls just for the Dragon Form Fist.

The Hall of Ten Thousand Souls is still somewhat dangerous.

He used to think that advanced martial arts required pushing one's own potential to the limit, and that taking risks was a necessary part of growth.

Gao Wu is already in good enough condition, strong enough, and even has developed martial arts talent. He just needs to practice martial arts properly and doesn't need to take any risks or shortcuts.

However, he couldn't go back on his promise to Qin Jiuyue. He had already learned the Dragon Formation... he couldn't simply turn back.

Another point he was concerned about was his master's whereabouts. Currently, it seemed Gao Wu indeed had the ability to infiltrate the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls…

"I must thank my senior uncle for giving me the opportunity to train!" Gao Wu said with a smile.

He was instead filled with curiosity about the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls. If the strange spirits inside could provide merit, that would be even better.

Hai Wuji didn't mention these things again. He personally injected Gao Wu with the Tyrant Dragon Potion and observed Gao Wu's physical reaction.

The Tyrannosaurus Elixir is extremely pure and contains high-intensity energy extracted from Tyrannosaurus flesh and blood, but it also contains Tyrannosaurus destructive genes.

Even a level seven martial artist using the Tyrant Dragon Potion could experience genetic collapse. It's extremely dangerous.

Through a small-dose injection, Hai Wuji discovered that Gao Wu's body had no reaction whatsoever. The energy of the Tyrant Dragon Potion was easily absorbed without any side effects.

With the dosage continuously increased, after the entire dose of the Tyrant Potion was injected, Gao Wu's body only had a slight fever, and he quickly returned to normal...

Such a powerful physique also shocked Hai Wuji.

Based on his experience, the human body could not be so abnormal; only a level seven alien beast could have such a terrifying body. No, the powerful vitality within Gao Wu's body was even stronger than that of a level seven alien beast.

Based on Gao Wu's condition, Hai Wuji also adjusted the injection dosage to two injections a day.

The effects of the Tyrant Potion were also excellent. Gao Wu felt his physical strength increase again, most directly in terms of his strength attribute.

After using all twenty doses of the Tyrant Dragon Potion, his strength increased by 18 points. This made his punching power, generated solely from muscle strength, reach 25,000 kilograms.

This demonstrates the domineering nature of the Tyrant Potion.

On the other hand, the body's vital energy has been subjected to highly efficient stimulation, transforming into even stronger power.

The ability to maintain youth and longevity also played a crucial role in achieving such excellent results.

Gao Wu liked it very much, but Hai Wuji was worried about the side effects and suggested that Gao Wu not use the medicine for the time being.

Having such great martial arts talent, focusing on martial arts training is the right path. The reason he had Gao Wu use the potion was also to prepare for the Ten Thousand Souls Hall.

Every bit of improvement in strength increases the chances of success. We should make the most lenient calculations possible in this regard.

The June sun was exceptionally bright, even a bit scorching. Gao Wu, wearing loose shorts, practiced swordsmanship on the beach, his muscles flowing like water, creating a wonderfully rhythmic beauty.

Hiding under the parasol, Chao Fengying sipped her cool drink while gazing enviously at her senior brother's fair and smooth skin.

She practiced under the sun for a while and her whole body turned into a black ball... but her senior brother was still so fair-skinned, which she couldn't understand at all.

The phone on the table suddenly rang. When Chao Fengying saw that it was Sister Jun, she knew that it was Gao Wu's closest relative. She hurriedly picked up the phone and rushed to hand it to her senior brother.

Gao Wu didn't stop practicing his swordplay. He had Chao Fengying turn on speakerphone, and Shang Qingjun's somewhat anxious voice came through: "Xiao Wu, Grandpa suddenly fainted and is currently being treated at the hospital..."

Gao Wu was startled. He quickly took the phone and asked, "What happened?"

Shang Qingjun briefly explained what happened: the old man was old and in poor health, and suddenly fainted at home. Fortunately, he was found by a neighbor and taken to the hospital.

"I'll take a plane back to see Grandpa first," Shang Qingjun said. "I'll check on Grandpa's condition first, so don't rush me."

She was afraid that Gao Wu would be anxious, so she turned around and comforted him instead.

"Yes, I know. Don't be too anxious." Gao Wu thought for a moment and said, "Civil aviation is too slow, I'll ask someone."

After hanging up the phone, Shang Qingjun looked at Zhou Hongying with some difficulty, "Xiao Wu told us not to take commercial flights for now, he's going to find someone."

Zhou Hongying thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Wu is very capable now, he should be able to find someone, right?"

"Dongjiang doesn't have an airport, so finding the person won't help." Shang Qingjun felt it was too troublesome, and taking a commercial flight would be the same.

She was worried about her grandfather, but she didn't want to affect Gao Wu. She also felt that the matter wasn't that complicated and that she could handle it herself. She was afraid that Gao Wu would waste time by asking others for help.

Then Song Mingyue called: "Sister Jun, come downstairs in ten minutes. A car is waiting for you at the door. We're going to the airport immediately."

When Shang Qingjun and Zhou Hongying came out of the dormitory, they saw a seven-seater van already waiting there.

Song Mingyue opened the car door and waved for Shang Qingjun and Zhou Hongying to get in.

After the car doors closed, Song Mingyue introduced the driver to the two women: "Professor Yang Tielin, he's coming back to Dongjiang with us."

Shang Qingjun looked puzzled. She knew Yang Tielin and Gao Wu had a good relationship, but why was this expert following them back to Dongjiang? Was this old man really that close to Gao Wu?

Yang Tielin noticed Shang Qingjun's confusion and explained with a smile, "I'm representing the school. When a student has a family emergency, the school will naturally do its best to help."

Even though Shang Qingjun was young, she knew there was no such thing as a free lunch. She thanked him repeatedly, but Yang Tielin was very polite, saying, "No, no, it's what I should do."

The van arrived at the airport, where a medium-sized business jet was already waiting. Zhou Qingyun and Song Yunkun disembarked from the plane.

Shang Qingjun was greatly surprised to see that Song Yunkun, the general manager of Longteng Company, had also arrived. Who was this man, and why was he so enthusiastic? Was he just dropping them off?
Song Yunkun shook hands with Shang Qingjun and introduced, "I've inquired, and the old man has cardiovascular problems. I've invited two experts from the state general hospital to accompany us."

He added, "Ms. Shang, don't worry, everything has been arranged. A heavy helicopter has been dispatched from Yunling Airport, and we'll be in Dongjiang in three hours..."

Shang Qingjun sat on the luxurious leather sofa, still feeling a little dizzy. What was going on?
Zhou Hongying, however, understood better than Shang Qingjun. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, she whispered in Shang Qingjun's ear, "Xiao Wu is amazing!"

She knew that all of this was due to Gao Wu's connections, or rather, Gao Wu's enormous influence.

Judging from Song Yunkun's polite demeanor, it was clear that this wasn't out of a business partnership, but rather Song Yunkun's undisguised attempt to curry favor with Gao Wu...
