Chapter 144: The Martial Artist Achieves Mastery, Achieving a Dual Transformation in Qi, Blood, and Strength! (Chapter 15 of 2 words, please vote!)

"Ding dong~"

The doors to the underground training ground slowly opened.

There was no one inside.

Now that the entire Bureau of Divine Management has mobilized, it has given Fang Qingyu a quiet environment.

Walk to the center of the venue.

Fang Qingyu slowly sat down cross-legged, his eyes closed, his breathing long and deep.

Jiang Wei sat not far away, her small body curled up in a large chair, holding half a bag of potato chips in her arms, eating them in small bites, but her clear eyes were fixed on Fang Qingyu, with a hint of curiosity and expectation.

Fang Qingyu slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

The intense battles of the past few days, the accumulation from successive breakthroughs in his cultivation techniques, and the near-explosive surge of qi and blood within his body all point to a critical point where things are about to fall into place.

Fang Qingyu closed his eyes.

The map, invisible to others, unfolded clearly.

【Occupation: Warrior (★) Lv.1 (199/200)】

The experience bar, representing a martial artist's level, stopped at the very last point.

Like a fully drawn bow, just waiting to be drawn.

My mind sank into my dantian and qi sea.

There, the perfected second-stage Dragon-Tiger Mixed Yuan Force flowed and swirled slowly in the broad dantian, like viscous liquid black ink.

The subtle and dazzling golden patterns resemble the veins of stars.

It flickered in the darkness, radiating a heavy, mountain-like, and domineering, thunderous pressure.

In the starry sky of consciousness, the phantom of the colossal dragon and tiger statue that soared through the heavens and swallowed chaos was more solid and clear than ever before.

The dragon scales are as black as ink, and the tiger stripes are as fiery as flames. Its form and spirit seem to be breaking free from the shackles of thought and becoming a tangible reality!

"it's time."

Fang Qingyu silently recited in his heart, his intention like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the balance of his dantian and qi sea!

Om-!
Within his dantian, the thick, ink-black energy suddenly boiled over!
It was as if it had been thrown into an invisible furnace, where it was spinning, compressed, and condensed wildly!
The subtle golden patterns shone brightly, like molten gold that had been ignited, flowing wildly and outlining in the black ink!

Deep within the starry sky of consciousness.

The giant dragon and tiger statue suddenly opened its eyes!
His left eye was like the blazing sun melting gold, and his right eye was like the cold moon congealing frost!
The majestic roars of dragons and tigers were no longer just echoes of thoughts, but rather like tangible thunder, which resounded deep within Fang Qingyu's soul!
"Roar--!!!"

“Ouch——!!!”

The roar of dragons and the howl of tigers shook the universe!
The dantian and dantian seemed unable to withstand this violent force and suddenly collapsed inward!
Followed by.

An indescribable, immense suction force erupted from the collapsing center!

Boom!

The phantom images of the dragon and tiger in the starry sky of consciousness, as if summoned by the strongest force, suddenly broke free from the shackles of will and transformed into two streams of dark light intertwined with golden patterns, soaring into the sky!

One was as hot as fire! The other was as cold as frost!
Two streaks of light tore through the "sky curtain" of consciousness space and plunged into the vast and boundless depths of Fang Qingyu's sea of ​​consciousness!

【Profession: Warrior (★) Lv.1 → Lv.2!】

[Nine Heavens Primordial Chaos Visualization Technique - Second Realm Lv.5 (Max) → Third Realm Lv.1 (0/200)!]

Just as the text on the chart changed!

In the real world, Fang Qingyu, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly shuddered!
Om-!
Centered on him, an invisible yet vast and powerful wave of energy suddenly spread out!

The pale lights of the training ground seemed to be distorted and swallowed up, and the space rippled slightly, visible to the naked eye!

"Huh?" Jiang Wei's small hand stopped at the mouth of the potato chip bag, and her clear eyes widened instantly, clearly reflecting the dramatic change that was taking place in Fang Qingyu!
Within the inner vision, the two streams of dark gold light representing the origin of dragon and tiger, like two burning comets, crashed fiercely into the void "starry sky" deep within the sea of ​​consciousness!
boom! boom!
It's as if the universe has just begun! The stellar core has ignited!
365 acupoints, scattered throughout the limbs, bones, internal organs, and meridians, are like sleeping stars, all lit up at this moment!

Countless dazzling lights suddenly burst forth!

Limbs like the arms of a galaxy! Torso like the spine of the universe! Head like the core of a starry sky!

365 stars, each with its own unique light!

Dragon and Tiger return to the stars, and the cycle of heaven begins!
The Dragon-Tiger Mixed Force that originally occupied the dantian was completely shattered and reconstructed at this moment!
Between the stars, invisible veins of starlight connect instantly!

Thus, the new visualization diagram is complete!

Enlightenment: The Celestial Array!

The immense power was no longer a single stream of dark ink, but transformed into a dazzling galaxy flowing with the brilliance of billions of stars!
It creates new momentum.

Starlight Power!!

It retains the heavy and domineering power of the dark energy, the yin and yang flow of the dragon and tiger, and adds some of the great power of the stars!
It is no longer a simple carrier of power, but has acquired its own "momentum"!
[Zhou Tian Xing Chen] - Activated!
hum!
Inside the training ground, the space around Fang Qingyu's body suddenly became viscous and stagnant!

The air seemed to be bound and deflected by the invisible gravitational pull of the stars!
Within a few feet of his body, the light was subtly distorted.

Any attack that enters this force field, whether it is a physical impact or an energy attack, will be significantly slowed down, weakened, and deflected!
Fang Qingyu's mind stirred slightly.

With his right hand outstretched and palm facing upward, the starlight energy flowed, and a ball of blazing white, leaping starlight, radiating terrifying heat, instantly condensed above his palm!

The air crackled and popped as it was scorched, twisting and deforming!
With his left hand clenched loosely with his palm facing down, the flow of starlight energy reversed completely, and a chilling blue aura, seemingly capable of freezing the soul, instantly spread out, even causing a thin layer of white frost to condense on the ground!

Yin and Yang flow, with the stars as the guide! This is the terrifying power of the Three Realms Celestial Constellation Visualization Method!
However, the transformation of the body is not yet over!
Just as the celestial force field stabilized.

Deep within Fang Qingyu's body, another dormant power was also completely unleashed!

[Crimson Bright Nine Revolutions Jade Scripture - First Revolution Lv.5 (Max) → Second Revolution Lv.1 (0/200)!]

boom--! ! !
It's as if a dormant volcano is awakening deep within the earth!

The blood and qi that were originally flowing on the surface of the body like black jade lava instantly boiled to the extreme!
The color suddenly changed from a deep black to an even deeper, dark red, as if containing the destructive power of lava!
The Blood Burning Realm has advanced to the Second Stage Bone Fusion!

"Well--!"

Fang Qingyu suddenly opened his eyes!

Deep within his pupils, his left eye was a blazing white like a furnace, while his right eye was a deep, icy blue like an abyss! An uncontrollable roar of pain erupted from the depths of his throat!
This is not just a simple physical pain, but a dramatic transformation that originates from the source of life and penetrates deep into the bone marrow!

At this moment, Fang Qingyu's entire skeleton seemed to have been thrown into an invisible furnace!

Intense burning, melting, and reshaping sensations instantly swept over every inch of the bone!
Dark red, viscous lava-like patterns began to appear and spread on his skin!
The patterns flowed and pulsated slowly, as if what surged within was not blood, but molten lava!
The liquid black flames covering the body surface also underwent a qualitative change!
Within the originally pure and deep black flames, dark red streaks, like veins of lava, began to flow!

Black and red intertwine, destruction and heat merge, exuding an even more terrifying and violent aura!

[Golden Body: 12 (one-time limit break) → 15 (one-time limit break)!]

[Pan Nian: 11 (One-time limit break) → 12 (One-time limit break)!]

The attribute values ​​on the graph jumped instantly!
The Golden Body attribute has increased by three points, which means that physical strength, power, defense and recovery ability have all achieved a qualitative leap!

The bones are reshaped in the lava, becoming stronger and denser.

The muscle fibers are like steel wires forged through countless hammer blows, containing explosive power! The skin's resilience is also at an unbelievable level!

The immense power of qi and blood, like a molten lava torrent bursting its banks, instantly swept through and filled the 365 acupoints that had just been illuminated by the stars!
The newly generated starlight energy is nourished by the molten lava blood and qi.

It became more refined and vibrant, as if it had come to life!
Metamorphosis!

A complete and transformative change!
Inside the training ground, a bizarre and shocking scene unfolded, centered around Fang Qingyu.

A boy sat cross-legged on the ground, his body covered with black flames that flowed with dark red lava patterns.

Within a few feet of the body, the air distorts and light is refracted, forming a viscous force field visible to the naked eye.

A chill permeated the air, frost condensed, while flames soared from the right, distorting the air.

Dark red, lava-like patterns pulsate beneath the skin, radiating a terrifying heatwave and a sense of power.

Sweat instantly soaked through the training clothes, then evaporated into white vapor due to the high temperature on the skin.

Fang Qingyu gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain brought on by the bone-melting and body-forging process, but his eyes were unusually bright, filled with excitement and determination in mastering the new power!
I don't know how much time passed; maybe just a few minutes, or maybe it felt like an eternity.

The lava patterns on the body surface slowly disappeared, and the black flames flowing with dark red patterns gradually receded into the body.

The distorted stellar force field stabilized, becoming less violent and outwardly aggressive, but more refined and internally concentrated.

The frost on the left hand and the flame on the right hand quietly dissipated.

Fang Qingyu exhaled a deep breath.

The air was scorching, carrying a faint scent of sulfur and the cool glow of starlight.

Then he slowly stood up. *Crack!*

With just the movement of getting up, the force of his unconscious stomping created tiny, spiderweb-like cracks in the ground beneath his feet!

Fang Qingyu lowered his head and clenched his fist.

The finger joints emitted a dull, thunderous crack!
Beneath the skin, it felt as if lava was flowing and stars were shining.

An unprecedented, overwhelming sense of power filled every cell in my body!
Microscopic level!
Breaking through the extraordinary to this day.

Fang Qingyu has finally stepped into this completely new realm!
Golden Body 15, Unyielding Spirit 12! Merging Bones and Blood! Starlight Force! Star Field!
Its strength has undergone a tremendous leap!
"Your combat power now..." Jiang Wei's voice rang out from the side, filled with undisguised amazement. Her mouth slightly agape, she even forgot to eat her potato chips. "It's probably more than doubled, right?!"

Fang Qingyu turned his head to look at Jiang Wei, but did not answer the question.

The intense white and deep blue in his eyes had faded, replaced by a profound calm, but beneath that calm, it seemed as if stars and lava were about to erupt.

He merely raised a very faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and moved his neck, producing a crisp cracking sound.

"Let's go."

"It's time to go and meet that big bug."

Qingjian City, on the western edge of the force field.

The new force field entry point was chosen next to a relatively quiet side road.

Several construction vehicles and makeshift shacks formed an inconspicuous "maintenance point," blocking the view of passersby.

Inside the shed, makeshift searchlights emitted a blinding white light, and tension filled the air.

Several people in logistics uniforms were busy checking the equipment.

Fang Qingyu stood in front of the entrance, his black combat uniform spotless, but the restrained aura around him was like that of a volcano about to erupt.

Jiang Wei stood quietly beside him, her small face as calm as ever.

The other four had completed their final equipment checks and gathered together.

Qin Hui wore a strange, indescribable expression.

"Qingzi," Qin Hui suddenly spoke, his voice low and slightly confused, "The higher-ups just relayed the bureau's final deployment. Our team doesn't have a specific area designated for attack."

"Hmm?" Fang Qingyu raised an eyebrow and turned his gaze to Qin Hui. "Not the elite strike team, nor the outer perimeter blocking team? Then what is our role?"

"The order from above is," Qin Hui licked his slightly chapped lips, as if to make sure he hadn't misheard, "freedom of movement."

"Freedom of movement?"

Old Joe couldn't help but exclaim softly, exchanging bewildered glances with Qi Hao and Lü Chen.

In such an unprecedented all-out offensive, where every move could have far-reaching consequences, the order to "operate freely" seemed particularly abrupt and ambiguous.

This means there are no clear support targets, no designated defense zones, and no mandatory advance routes.

A knowing glint flashed in Fang Qingyu's eyes.

This is less of a mission and more of a special authorization and trust given to Wu Yu or the entire higher-ups for his divine armed forces.

To liberate an unassuming yet exceptionally sharp knife from its pre-set framework.

Fang Qingyu is allowed to intervene in the most needed place and in the most unexpected way, depending on the ever-changing situation on the battlefield!
This is both a tremendous trust and a heavy responsibility.

Just as Fang Qingyu was about to speak, the miniature communicator in his ear suddenly beeped with a channel access notification.

When they heard Duan Ling's voice, but no one else reacted.

Fang Qingyu calmly raised his hand to signal Qin Hui and the others to wait a moment, then turned and walked a few steps away to a relatively quiet corner.
Seeing Fang Qingyu's actions, Qin Hui and the others understood and did not follow.

"Sister Duan." Fang Qingyu answered the call, her voice steady.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the communication line, followed only by slightly rapid breathing.

A few seconds later, Duan Ling's voice rang out, trying her best to maintain her usual calm and competence, but if you listened carefully, you could detect a hint of tension that she was trying hard to suppress:

"The strongest elite team is personally led by Elder Chen, and their target is the 'Abyss Weaver' itself. The surrounding teams are under immense pressure and will do their utmost to hold back the main force of the swarm. Your 'free action' privileges were granted by Director Wu against the majority opinion; he believes you can play a more crucial role than any pre-planned route."

She spoke quickly and businesslike, but as she finished the last sentence, a barely perceptible fluctuation finally appeared in the forced calmness in her voice, like an undercurrent beneath the ice:
"The core objective of this operation is to destroy the Mother Nest and eliminate the force field threat. This is the highest priority; it concerns the lives of millions of people in Qingjian City, I know." She took a deep breath, her breath trembling slightly as it came through the communicator. "But, Lin Kang, he..."

Duan Ling's voice choked, and the rest of her words seemed to be stuck in her throat.

She didn't need to say it explicitly.

That struggle of putting personal feelings above the bigger picture, that plea that one knows is wrong but cannot suppress, has been clearly transmitted through the radio.

She didn't want to put extra pressure on Fang Qingyu, especially at a time when the survival of the entire city was at stake, but she couldn't deceive herself, nor could she fail to grasp at this last, faint hope.

Fang Qingyu listened quietly.

He could sense the heavy, complex emotions in Duan Ling's words, emotions that were almost overwhelming her.

His sense of responsibility to the city, his grief for his fallen comrades, his concern for the fallen captain, and his indescribable expectation mixed with guilt for the young team member in front of him who had already created miracles several times.

In the shadows, Fang Qingyu's lips curled up in a very slight smile, not with mockery, but with an air of certainty that was almost a promise.

He didn't even let Duan Ling finish saying that difficult sentence.

"Will do."

Two words, clear and calm, yet carrying an unwavering force, reached Duan Ling's ears through the communicator.

There were no grand pronouncements, no passionate promises.

These two words alone seem to state a fact that is about to happen.

There was a brief silence on the other end of the communication line.

A few seconds later, Duan Ling let out a very soft gasp, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders, and then the communication was quickly cut off.

Fang Qingyu turned around and stepped out of the shadows.

His face remained calm and expressionless, as if the brief phone call had never happened.

"Qingzi?" Qin Hui cast a questioning glance his way.

Fang Qingyu shook his head, his gaze sweeping over his teammates.

The light shining down from above made his figure appear somewhat hazy.

"Instructions confirmed. Free to move about."

Fang Qingyu's voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly: "This means that we will decide for ourselves where our blades are pointed."

"There is only one goal: to end all of this!"

After saying that, Fang Qingyu took a step forward without any hesitation.

He walked straight toward the entrance to the force field that distorted the light.

"set off!"

Qin Hui, Lao Qiao, and the others' eyes sharpened, instantly understanding the heavy weight and trust behind this "freedom."

They said no more and quickly followed.

Qi Hao and Lü Chen gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes filled with determination.

Jiang Wei, with her short legs, followed closely beside Fang Qingyu, looked up at him, and seemed to see a hint of understanding in her clear eyes.

This reflects extreme confidence in one's own abilities.

She had seen it in many of her older brothers before.

Fang Qingyu reached out and pressed his hand against the invisible barrier.

Om-!
The space fluctuated violently, and the entrance formed instantly.

Fang Qingyu stepped inside.

Behind him, the team members filed in.

The bustling city, the aromas of street food, and the mingled atmosphere of everyday life.
It was stripped away in an instant.

Instead, what hit us was an overwhelming, nauseating stench of blood and decay, and a sharp, hissing sound that seemed to come from the depths of the ruins and from all directions, like millions of metals scraping against each other!

"Hiss hiss hiss—click click click—!!!"

The ocean of insects, in the deepest darkness before dawn, opened its hideous mouthparts to them.
