My slightest action was the system's limit.

Chapter 98 Breakthrough! Grandmaster of Martial Arts (Two Chapters Combined)

at home.

"finally come!"

Jiang Ye looked at the letter on his watch and took a deep breath.

Starry Sea Divine Path Strength Certification Trial.

With Zhao Qingli's help, he didn't need to sign up himself; she had already registered him through internal channels.

"Ten days left."

Jiang Ye pondered, "In these ten days, I must do my best to improve my combat power."

He glanced at the panel.

[Technique]

Star Martial Cultivation Method: Perfection
Eight-part Thunder Sound Fist: Mastery (78%)
Star Martial Arts Advancement Technique: Minor Success (20%)
-

More than two months of arduous training.

Jiang Ye's achievements are remarkable.

Not only did the advanced method break through the minor success level, but even the Eight Thunder Sound Fist also soared from 4% to 78%.

Of course, this is inseparable from his monthly expenses of more than 100,000 yuan.

Without sufficient financial support.

Even someone with a top-tier physique could not possibly improve so quickly.

"I'm only one last refinement away from breaking through to the first level," Jiang Ye thought to himself.

Having achieved minor success in the Star Martial Advancement Technique, one has already reached the threshold for the first breakthrough.

Now, his Guanyuan acupoint is large enough to hold 100,000 strands of star energy.

However, the physical transformation is not yet complete; it still needs one last round of refinement by the stars.

In short, Jiang Ye's breakthrough is a foregone conclusion.

"However," Jiang Ye pondered, "there are certain risks involved in breaking through to the next level, and I need to use medicine to protect myself."

Breaking free from the shackles of life is no joke.

Although it's unlikely to result in anyone dying.

However, there are many cases where people fail to break through the limits, resulting in severed meridians and becoming disabled.

"If the breakthrough goes smoothly, the next goal is to make the Eight Thunder Sound Fist breakthrough as perfect as possible," Jiang Ye planned.

The Eight Thunder Sound Fist is a fighting technique.

Ordinary martial arts ingredients, such as leopard gall and tiger gall, cannot increase the speed of cultivation.

However, ginseng of the Xuan rank and above can enhance comprehension and greatly increase skill.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ye opened the watch's contact list.

I found Zhao Qingli's profile picture, edited a text message, and sent it to her.

Jiang Ye: Class monitor, thank you for what happened this time.

He just sent this message.

Buzz!

The other side then sent a reply:

[Zhao Qingli: Just remember our previous agreement.]

Jiang Ye: Understood. I'll transfer the 100,000 yuan to you once I succeed in the trial. (Grinning face)

[Zhao Qingli: .]

Jiang Ye looked at the reply and couldn't help but scratch his head.

Why would you use ellipses out of the blue?
Is this not the agreement the class monitor mentioned?

Jiang Ye pondered for a moment and then sent another message.

Jiang Ye: By the way, how about we grab a bite sometime? My treat.

This time, the other side took some time to reply.

Zhao Qingli: Mm-hmm.

“That’s exactly what they were talking about.” Jiang Ye’s expression was strange.

Compared to the 100,000 yuan, Zhao Qingli seemed to care more about his treat.

shook his head.

Jiang Ye edited another message.

[Jiang Ye: Squad leader, I need to buy a low-grade Xuan-level martial ginseng, 300g will do.]

Zhao Qingli: Okay, I'll bring it to you tomorrow.

[Jiang Ye: There's one more thing. I'd like to try breaking through to the Starry Sky Refinement in three days. Do you have any protective potions?]

[Zhao Qingli: Mad Dragon Potion, 30,000 per bottle]

[Jiang Ye: Can you make it cheaper?]

[Zhao Qingli: No way, this is the cost price. You expect me to pay you out of pocket?]

Jiang Ye put down his watch and took a deep breath.

A hint of pain flashed across his face.

The price of low-grade Xuan-level martial ginseng is extremely high, starting at 100,000 for 300g.

With that 30,000, his wallet was empty again!
But for the sake of the upcoming Star Sea Divine Path certification, he had no choice but to splurge this once.

"Practice."

Jiang Ye calmed his mind and began to practice the Eight-Part Thunder Sound Fist.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

It's that time of year again when the starry sky is at its most beautiful.

Jiang Ye took the school bus and arrived at the light blue cube building.

Unexpectedly.

The Star Servant who came this time was none other than Liu Beimu, the Star Envoy he had encountered during his first Starry Sky Refinement.

"Hello, Liu Xing." Jiang Ye greeted him when he saw him.

"Mm." Liu Beimu nodded slightly at him.

After Jiang Ye entered the purification pool.

Liu Beimu looked in Jiang Ye's direction, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes: "This kid seems to have gotten a lot stronger since the last time I saw him?"

He was not in Ancheng during this period.

He came here mainly because he had another mission in Ancheng, and while passing through, he also took the opportunity to carry out the Starry Sky Refinement.

One of the tasks of Star Clerics is to perform Starry Sky Refinement.

"Last time, this kid lasted seven days in the purification pool."

Thinking of this, Liu Beimu felt a pang of regret: "This time, will it last even longer?"

In the purification pool, Wang Ziang was still sitting next to Jiang Ye.

Brother Jiang.

Wang Ziang asked curiously, "I heard you're going to try to break through this barrier?"

“Breaking through is not that simple.” Jiang Ye shook his head and said, “I’m not sure myself.”

Wang Ziang sneered, "You bastard, are you going to play the 'first belittle, then praise' trick again? I bet you're really confident this time!"

"."

Jiang Ye said silently, "This is a breakthrough, and I've heard it's risky."

"Then I wish you success in your breakthrough," Wang Ziang said sincerely.

As they spoke, the purification of the starry sky had already begun.

time flies.

Jiang Ye closed his eyes and tried his best to refine the star energy in his Guanyuan acupoint.

Streams of pale silver star energy, as if imbued with life, surged from his Guanyuan acupoint, permeating his entire body.

Then, through the refinement of the meridians and bones, it returns to the Guanyuan acupoint.

90%

92%

95%

99%

Jiang Ye was only a hair's breadth away from breaking through the threshold.

Under the tempering of the stellar energy, the strength of his physical body continued to rise until it reached that critical value!
"arrive."

Jiang Ye was suddenly inspired; a feeling like snow melting in spring welled up from the depths of his soul.

In an instant, every cell in his body relaxed.

"Cells are the most basic building blocks of the human body."

"But at the same time, this is also the first shackle on the human body."

Jiang Ye recalled what his teacher had once told him:
What is "one breakthrough"?

"The so-called 'breakthrough' means opening up the cellular defenses, allowing every cell in the body to accept and integrate stellar energy."

This requirement itself demands extremely high physical strength.

Jiang Ye has already reached this standard in his physical body through cultivating the "Star Martial Cultivation Method" and the "Star Martial Advancement Method".

What remains is to completely break free from the shackles of the human body.

Without hesitation, Jiang Ye took out a tube of metal medicine.

"Dragon Potion." A hint of heartache flashed in his eyes.

The medicine bottle was very small, only about half the size of a palm, and completely transparent, containing a wine-red, amber-like, crystalline liquid.

Thirty thousand a bottle!
"Pop~" The bottle cap is opened.

Jiang Ye drank it all in one gulp.

"let's start."

He immediately began to circulate the Star Martial Advancement Technique.

The advanced method itself contains a way to break free from shackles in its energy circulation path.

"call!"

As Jiang Ye began to circulate his internal energy, all the cells in his body seemed to come alive and began to stir.

If you were to use a microscope, you could observe the cells throughout his body.

You will be horrified to discover.

It was as if countless cells throughout his body had cracked open. This was absolutely astonishing.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably explode and die instantly.

Fortunately, at this moment, a warm energy spread throughout Jiang Ye's body.

"The Mad Dragon Potion is starting to take effect," Jiang Ye silently observed.

The Mad Dragon Elixir can protect the body's meridians, muscles, and even cells.

This is an effect that no martial arts ingredient can achieve.

This is why martial arts potions are so popular.

Under the protection of the Mad Dragon Potion, Jiang Ye's entire body began to absorb and integrate the energy of the starry sky.

Continuous refinement.

"Most of the cells in my body are undergoing transformation," Jiang Ye silently sensed.

"This is the process of truly transforming into something extraordinary."

Jiang Ye continued to practice his internal energy.

as time flows.

He could feel the 100,000 strands of star energy flowing into his limbs and bones like a surging river.

It integrates into the bones and meridians.

This kind of integration is completely different from the integration during the refining process.

The latter is simply integrated into the surface layer of the bone.

This time, however, it penetrated deep into the bone marrow, truly and thoroughly integrating into the bone cells, becoming one with the other, inseparable.

“Every inch of my meridians is vibrating.”

"So strong!"

Jiang Ye felt a primordial power awakening within him.

His level of spiritual development is constantly rising!
If breaking the shackles had a progress bar, he would be sprinting towards the first breakthrough at a rate of 10% per minute.

20%

30%

40%

90%

100%

At the moment when one ascends to the pinnacle of life.

Jiang Ye's body became incredibly transparent.

Star energy surges forth from the Guanyuan acupoint, reaching the Heavenly Gate above and penetrating deep into the bone marrow below.

"boom!"

In an instant, a powerful aura burst forth from Jiang Ye's body.

It originated from Jiang Ye's body, was refined to the extreme, and even completely merged with Jiang Ye's star energy.

When stellar energy flows along the bones and meridians, it is like magma flowing through the core of a planet.

It forms a strong life magnetic field!

This is the spirit of martial arts!

Also known as extraordinary pressure!

"I see." Jiang Ye's eyes showed a look of understanding.

He didn't understand what martial spirit was before.

At that moment, he understood.

This is not just about the strong crushing the weak.

It also symbolizes his level of life!

"After nearly three years of cultivation, finally!" Jiang Ye's heart surged with excitement: "Break the shackles of life!"

"boom!"

A powerful aura burst forth from his body uncontrollably.

at the same time.

Everyone in the entire purification pool changed their expressions and turned to look in Jiang Ye's direction.

"He's broken through to the first level!"

"So strong, I feel like I'm going to kneel down in awe."

"Is this what a Starry Sky Martial Artist is like? I actually feel a sense of trembling in the face of such a spirit."

Many people were alarmed.

And not far from Jiangye.

Wang Ziang was speechless: "You said you lacked confidence, but you broke through in just half an hour!"

Outside the washing pool.

A hint of surprise flashed in Liu Beimu's eyes: "That kid has actually broken through to the first level?"

"Lucky kid, he actually broke through to the next level during the last Starry Sky Refinement before the college entrance exam."

"It seems he has a chance to get into one of the top universities in the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance." Liu Beimu nodded slightly.

The alliance of 25 universities includes all of them except for Hourai University.

The cut-off scores for other top-tier universities are generally around 850.

Once you achieve the first breakthrough, you can easily reach this score.

At this moment, Liu Beimu looked at Zhang Jianwu beside him and said in surprise, "Director Zhang, you don't seem surprised at all?"

Zhang Jianwu chuckled and said, "Liu Xingshi probably doesn't know yet, but this kid's goal is Penglai University. Breaking through is just his starting point."

"Penglai University?" Liu Beimu was slightly surprised.

"The cutoff scores for Penglai University this year have been basically determined," Liu Beimu said in a low voice, "Above 890 points!"

He shook his head and said, "This kid is probably still far from good enough."

"Five points?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jianwu pondered for a moment and said, "Subtracting the 20 points for the second-level preparatory star position, Jiang Ye is still 20 points short, which is indeed quite difficult."

Upon hearing this, Liu Beimu was immediately astonished: "He's become a second-level reserve star officer?"

Zhang Jianwu nodded slightly.

"No wonder."

Liu Beimu took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Ye again, his eyes showing a hint of surprise.

"Primal talent, enough to become a second-level preparatory star rank?"

"No one can predict what will happen to this kid's future," Liu Beimu thought to himself.

Jiang Ye was naturally unaware of what the others were thinking.

At the moment of breakthrough in his life level.

Several lines of subtitles instantly appeared in front of him.

[Your strength has reached the system's new limit!]

[Unlock title: Grandmaster of Martial Arts!]

[Grandmaster of Martial Arts: Reaching the pinnacle of skill, the second highest mountain in martial arts. With Grandmasters ahead, even Grandmasters are like ants.]

[Reward: Reshaping of Daoist Bones]

-

"When will this system ever reach its limit?"

Jiang Ye looked at the panel, somewhat speechless.

When he broke through to the Great Perfection of the cultivation method, he had already exceeded the upper limit of this low-level martial arts system.

Each time he made a breakthrough, people said he had reached a new limit in the system.

Could it be that the upper limit of this low-martial system refers to the multiverse of low-martial worlds, where the upper limit can be raised infinitely?
“In a low-level martial arts world, there must be a maximum limit,” Jiang Ye guessed. “However, we don’t know how powerful one has to be to reach that maximum value.”

Jiang Ye also felt a sense of anticipation.

In this world, he could completely test that upper limit by exploiting bugs.

For example, flying on a hypersonic aircraft?
Even more so, interstellar spaceships?

Jiang Ye had thought about it, but never put it into practice.

"Reshaping the Dao Bone?" Jiang Ye looked at the reward.

At this moment, the panel also quietly changed.

——Low-level Achievement System——

[Constitution: Mortal Body (Above Grade A) → Mysterious Body (Above Grade D)]

[Technique]

Star Martial Cultivation Method: Perfection
Eight-part Thunder Sound Fist: Mastery (79%)
Star Martial Arts Advancement Technique: Minor Success (20%)
【Achievement】

A martial arts master, a friend of the founder. He grows stronger with each battle, vanquishing demons and protecting the righteous path; a grandmaster of martial arts.
[Martial Arts Ladder]

Second floor

-

"My physique has advanced from a mortal body to a profound body?"

"And it's even a Ding-level Xuan Physique?" Jiang Ye looked surprised.

Mysterious Body, this is a physique at the Dao Bone level!
He had originally guessed that he would be promoted to the Xuan Body level this time.

Unexpectedly, the system directly promoted him to the upper-level Ding rank.

If he remembers correctly, Wan Yaoyang from Qingyang High School was only a lower-ranking student.

"So comfortable, so very comfortable," Jiang Ye exclaimed sincerely.

He had just broken through to the next level and was already in an extremely comfortable state.

Now, the system is directly reshaping his Dao bones, causing his body to undergo further transformation.

This feeling is simply heavenly, even better than flying.

However, what Jiang Ye was most looking forward to at this moment was something else entirely.

"I have broken through the first level and can now enter the third level of the Martial Arts Ladder!"

"I wonder what form the third level of assessment will take?"

Jiang Ye was filled with anticipation.

Requesting monthly votes, there will be more tonight.
