Chapter 202 Martial Arts Cultivation Soars!!! (2 words, 45 updates)

As Fang Qingyu forcefully swallowed the dark purple core,

Om-! ! !
An invisible yet powerful and vast wave, like ripples stirred up by a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly spread out from Fang Qingyu as the center!
This fluctuation carries a kind of pressure originating from the essence of life; it is not violent, but it is full of absolute dominance!
It was like a king's decree to his subjects!

In an instant!
Inside the entire massive cavern, all the rock-nest ants that were frantically biting, charging, and fearlessly fighting for their lives froze in their tracks!
In their scarlet compound eyes, the bloodthirsty ferocity was extinguished as if doused with cold water, instantly replaced by an irresistible awe and obedience emanating from the depths of their blood!

"Hiss."

The chaotic hissing instantly turned into a low, submissive whimper.

next second!
Whether it's the Dark Gold Guard Commander locked in fierce combat with the Iron Warriors, the Shadowclaw Stalkers pouncing on the Frost Chosen, or the scattered Turtlemen and Giant Jaw Ants in various corners.
All the ghosts, like soldiers receiving the highest order, acted without the slightest hesitation!
Qi Qi abandoned all their attack targets.

Ignoring the human warriors nearby and disregarding their trampled companions, they surged wildly and frantically towards the various passageways around the cave, like a receding black torrent!
The scene was even more chaotic than when they arrived, yet it carried a sense of escape.

In just a few breaths!

The chaotic battlefield, which was originally filled with roars, collisions, and energy explosions, instantly became deathly silent!
All that remained were the wreckage of the dead, the broken fungal carpet, and the marks of burning and freezing.

And
Fang Qingyu floated in front of the altar, his body enveloped by an invisible energy field, and slowly rose off the ground!

Tie Zhan watched this scene without any surprise on his face, but a hint of barely perceptible admiration flashed deep in the depths of his mountain-like, steady eyes.

He withdrew his gaze from the direction where the tide of the Destiny Ghost was receding.

He suddenly turned to the other masters and chosen ones in the cave, whose expressions were constantly changing.

"The core has been decided."

The sound of the iron clashing, like the clanging of metal, carried an undeniable majesty and a faint warning, echoing through the empty cavern.

"Everyone!"

His gaze was piercing, sweeping over the Blazing Chosen One who had just broken free from the rock wall, his golden holy flames flickering and his face ashen, over the Shadow Chosen One writhing in shadow, over the female Chosen One shrouded in icy blue aura, and finally landing on several unfamiliar figures with equally profound auras.

"3 minutes!"

Tie Zhan extended three fingers that looked like they were forged from fine steel, his tone resolute, carrying an absolute confidence that came from long-standing authority and control over the battle.

"Either continue deeper into the next level of the ruins, or leave immediately! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"

"The next level?" A cold, hoarse voice came from the rolling shadows of the Shadow Chosen, tinged with doubt. "Iron Warrior, do you think we're fools?"

"I don't care if you're idiots or not, please do as you please!"

Tie Zhan didn't bother with unnecessary words; his tone was calm, yet it contained immense pressure.

Their gazes, like tangible searchlights, were firmly fixed on the Fiery Chosen One whose face was extremely pale.

The other party's fiery eyes were fixed on Fang Qingyu, who was floating in mid-air behind Tie Zhan and whose aura was rising steadily.

His eyes were filled with humiliation, anger, and a hint of indescribable fear.

"Humph!"

Finally, the Chosen One of Blazing Gods let out a cold snort of resentment.

His holy flames surged suddenly, enveloping his remaining followers, and transformed into a golden streak of light. Without looking back, he rushed towards the nearest passage exit and vanished in an instant.

With him taking the lead, the Shadow Chosen let out a sinister laugh that was difficult to decipher, and with a flick of his wrist, he too vanished.

The Frost Chosen One glanced at Fang Qingyu, who was suspended in the air, and Tie Zhan, who was protecting him, with a complicated expression.

Without a word, the ice-blue figure transformed into a wisp of cold air and followed closely behind.

The other few deep-seated figures exchanged glances, weighed the pros and cons, and ultimately also chose to withdraw.

It's impossible to go to the next floor.

They are still young, and there is no need for them to risk their lives for a chance to break through.

The core of this layer has already been removed.

For them, reaching this point in the entire ruins meant they had reached the limit of their capabilities.

For a while.

The vast cave was a scene of devastation.

Only Fang Qingyu and his group, along with Tie Zhan, remained.

Oh, there's one more team that didn't leave immediately.

The representative from Deep Blue Heavy Industry walked over quickly, a shrewd and eager smile on his face.

Instead of directly disturbing Fang Qingyu who was suspended in mid-air, he wisely stopped in front of Tie Zhan and Wei Banmeng.

"Master Tie! Miss Wei!"

He bowed respectfully, then presented Wei Banmeng with a metal business card of special material, with fine blue energy patterns inlaid on the edges.

"My name is Zhang Hong, Senior Supervisor of the Abyss Sigh Barrier Region of Deep Blue Heavy Industry. Today, I am honored to witness Mr. Fang's divine power, and Deep Blue Heavy Industry is deeply impressed! This contains my private communication channel and the highest-level access code."

Zhang Hong smiled warmly and said sincerely, "If Mr. Fang needs anything, whether it's resources, intelligence, or anything else, just contact us through this channel, and Deep Blue Heavy Industry will do its utmost and never refuse! Just to build a good relationship!"

After speaking, he bowed slightly to Tie Zhan and Wei Banmeng again.

He glanced respectfully at Fang Qingyu, who was suspended in the air, and without hesitation, turned and left quickly with his team, his actions perfectly measured.

Tie Zhan watched the Deep Blue Heavy Industry people leave without stopping them.

He merely glanced at the business card in Wei Banmeng's hand and nodded almost imperceptibly.

"She's quite sensible."

Immediately, his burly body, like a rock, firmly blocked Fang Qingyu's hovering position.

His gaze swept around like that of a hawk, scanning for any possible entrances to passageways.

"Guard him!"

Tie Zhan said in a deep voice, addressing Wei Banmeng and the others.

Wei Banmeng, Chu Kuanglan, and Lu Jiuyuan immediately became solemn.

Centered on Fang Qingyu, they formed a triangular formation, their Xuan Chi swords drawn, their blood and energy surging, vigilantly guarding the area.

Jiang Wei stood quietly below Fang Qingyu, her small face tilted up, her clear eyes fixed on him, a hint of affirmation on her face.

Thankfully, I didn't make the wrong choice.

At this moment, Fang Qingyu...

Consciousness seemed to float in an endless sea of ​​light.

My body has lost control; it floats lightly, like a speck of dust in the universe.

But an unprecedented and wondrous feeling filled the entire "existence".

It felt as if a surging, roaring, and endless river of energy was contained within my body!
This energy is vast, pure, and ancient, carrying the weight of the earth, the profundity of the stars, and the remnants of a will to rule over all spirits.

It did not violently impact the body.

Instead, it flows like the gentlest stream, following his will.

Fang Qingyu immersed his mind in it and could clearly perceive the effects of this energy.
Whether it's martial arts, qi and blood techniques, visualization techniques, or even martial arts cultivation, or the cultivation level of the Candle-Holding Walker.

This energy can be controlled by one's own will.

Inject it into any option.

Fang Qingyu, of course, did not hesitate at all.

Instantly, he poured all of this energy into his martial arts cultivation.

the reason is simple.

What I lack most right now is martial arts cultivation.

Even though his visualization technique and life bead are only at the advanced stage, he has sufficient blood essence and life bead. He only needs to calm down and he will soon be able to reach the perfect state.

Only martial arts cultivation, even with talent and hard work, can achieve anything.

It also takes time to polish it little by little.
Therefore, without a doubt, the choice is martial arts cultivation.

At this moment, this vast primordial energy from the core of the Abyss-level Life Ghost is the best fuel to break through this time barrier and cross the accumulation gap!
"that's it!"

The mind is settled!

boom--! ! !
The gentle river of energy within his body instantly boiled!
As if finding an outlet, it transformed into billions of incomparably pure torrents, carrying the essence of the earth and stars, and frantically surged into Fang Qingyu's limbs, bones, muscles, skin, and acupoints!

【职业：武者（★）Lv.3（43/800）】→【.（69/800）】→【.（87/800）】→【.（100/800）】.
And on the map.

The martial artist's experience points also skyrocketed at an astonishing rate!

A jump of ten or twenty points per second!
Fang Qingyu could clearly feel that his bones were making dense and crisp "crackling" sounds, like popping beans.

Each sound signifies that the bone is becoming denser and stronger.

Muscle fibers, like steel wires forged through countless hammer blows, are constantly refined and compressed in the process of destruction and rebirth, unleashing even greater resilience and strength.

The tiny acupoints throughout the body were forcibly opened and expanded by this torrent, like a dried-up riverbed being filled by a surging river.

The channels for the flow of Qi and blood become wider and smoother, and the efficiency of transport is increased many times over!
The dantian (lower abdomen) and dantian (lower abdomen) are expanding.

The total amount and quality of Qi and blood contained within it are rapidly increasing, and the core of the ever-rotating Five Elements Qi is becoming more solid and dynamic.

More importantly, it is about understanding "force" and mastering "energy".

The understanding of one's own body, forged through countless trials, is deepening and sublimating at an indescribable speed!
This is a leap forward in the level of life!
It is a crazy consolidation and elevation of the foundation of martial arts!
It only took a few minutes for the outside world to react.

For Fang Qingyu, however, it was as if he had undergone a long baptism that transformed him completely and cleansed his marrow!
Just as Fang Qingyu was immersed in this unprecedented leap in martial arts realm.

The deep passageways surrounding the cave.

New figures gradually appeared one after another.

These were the other members of Project Hidden Dragon who had been blocked in the rear passage by the ant swarm and the chaos.

The first to rush out was a young man with extremely fast movements and a sharp aura.

He spotted Fang Qingyu floating in front of the altar, enveloped by an invisible energy field, his aura steadily rising!
They also saw Tie Zhan, who stood like an iron tower guarding Fang Qingyu, as well as Wei Banmeng and the others.

The excitement and anticipation on the young man's face froze instantly.

His shock and disbelief reached their peak. "The core... was taken? And by Fang Qingyu?!"

Without any hesitation, and without even glancing at Tie Zhan, he stomped his foot and, like a startled rabbit, shot back instantly, disappearing into the passage he had come from. His movements were so fast that only a blur remained.

Followed by.

A second wave of people rushed out.

Leading the group was Liu Qingyan, the representative of Shenxiao Daoyuan.

Her beautiful face still bore a blush of excitement and anticipation, a hint of post-battle flush.

However, when she saw Fang Qingyu floating in the air, felt the powerful aura of his breakthrough, and saw Tie Zhan's unshakeable back like a mountain.

Liu Qingyan's eyes, as clear as autumn water, widened instantly, then turned into deep shock and a hint of understanding.

She parted her lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a very soft sigh. Without hesitation, she turned around and quickly retreated with her equally shocked companion.

Then came Yin Wujiu, Mo Chen, Duan Jingyi, and Shi Zhenyue.
One by one, names shine brightly in the abyss; one by one, proud and arrogant chosen ones.

When they rushed out of the tunnel and saw this scene before them.

Their facial expressions were identical, as if they were made from the same mold.

First came extreme shock, followed by deep disappointment, which eventually transformed into a complex emotion mixed with resentment, bitterness, and an inability to accept it.

Fang Qingyu!
It is him again!
He overpowered all others in the Eternal Still Pool and seized the Source of Darkness!

Here, it directly swallowed the core of the Abyss-level Life Ghost, even triggering a crazy breakthrough in its martial arts realm!

gap
It has grown so large that people no longer even have the will to catch up.

There was no provocation, no resentful questioning.

Even looking at it a few more times feels like a pressure.

Everyone, including someone as cunning and ruthless as Mo Chen, only glanced deeply at the suspended Fang Qingyu with complex and unfathomable eyes before silently turning and leaving.

A struggle?

Before that military master, Tie Zhan?
That's pure suicide.

The core strategy has been decided, the opportunity has been missed, and there is no point in staying here.

Soon, the cave returned to silence.

Only Tie Zhan, Wei Banmeng, and a few others remained, guarding Fang Qingyu, along with Jiang Wei who waited quietly.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The residual energy fluctuations inside the cave were slowly subsiding, and the lingering sweet smell of decay and the stench of blood in the air seemed to have faded somewhat.

I don't know how much time passed, maybe an hour.

Fang Qingyu, who was suspended half a foot above the ground, had his invisible energy field slowly recede and dissipate like ripples on water.

The immense energy fluctuations brought about by the Abyss-level core within his body finally subsided.

The experience points eventually stopped at [Profession: Warrior (★) Lv.3 (751/800)]!
To know.
Fang Qingyu had only recently broken through to the Tongxuan realm.

From the time I joined Project Hidden Dragon until now, it's only been about a week.

And now.

Fang Qingyu can start striving to become a martial arts master.

You can begin to consolidate your cultivation and study the Qi and Blood Visualization Method.

at last.
Go and observe nature, hoping to reach the level of a martial arts master!

It can be said that its current foundation is so solid, its qi and blood so abundant, and its muscles and bones so strong that it far surpasses those of others of the same level.

Fang Qingyu slowly opened his tightly closed eyes.

Deep within his pupils, a fleeting, profound starlight seemed to flash before returning to its usual calm and depth.

My feet gently landed back on the dark purple fungal carpet, and an indescribable sense of power filled my entire body, as if every cell was cheering and jumping for joy.

He subconsciously moved his wrist, and his muscles and bones emitted a series of soft but powerful popping sounds.

Feel the new blood and energy surging within your body like a river, as refined as mercury, and the power that is more harmonious, complete, and under your control.

Fang Qingyu slowly raised his head.

Their gazes swept over Tie Zhan, who was guarding them, and finally landed on Jiang Wei, who was looking up at them with her small face.

When I saw those big eyes, they were full of relief.

Fang Qingyu, in a voice still slightly dry and hoarse but incredibly clear, asked his first question after waking up:

"How long has it been?"

"about an hour."

Wei Banmeng's cold voice immediately rang out.

"More than an hour?"

Fang Qingyu frowned slightly, feeling that the powerful energy within his body had only been circulating for a short while.

"Get out of here!"

Tie Zhan's voice, like the clanging of metal on metal, rang out with undeniable urgency, interrupting Fang Qingyu's thoughts.

The burly master's eyes flashed like lightning as he scanned the enormous stalactites shimmering with an eerie light and the slightly wriggling dark purple fungal carpet on the cave ceiling.

"The rules here are solidifying rapidly. If we don't leave now, it won't be so easy to get out later."

Tie Zhan's tone was serious, carrying the weight of someone who had experienced countless dangers.

Upon hearing this, Fang Qingyu and the other four were all taken aback.

"understand!"

Fang Qingyu nodded immediately without hesitation.

Having seized the opportunity and gained immense strength, this place is indeed not a place to linger.

"Many thanks to Master Tie for his protection!"

Fang Qingyu solemnly clasped his hands in a salute to Tie Zhan.

If Tie Zhan hadn't stood in front of him like a mountain, intimidating all the heroes, he wouldn't have been able to digest the core energy so smoothly.

Tie Zhan waved his hand and laughed heartily, "Haha, it's nothing! They're all promising talents of the Federation, so of course I'll lend a hand if I can. Let's go!"

He urged again, his gaze sweeping towards the entrances of those deep passages, as if he had already sensed something.

"I reckon all sorts of monsters and demons will be coming after us soon. You kids better not get involved anymore and get out of this area immediately and go back to the base to rest!"

"Yes!"

Fang Qingyu and the others responded in unison.

After bidding farewell to the Iron Battle, the five of them did not delay at all. They immediately chose a relatively open passage in the direction they came from and sped away.

Traces of the retreating ghosts and a faint fishy smell remained in the passage, but there were no longer any obstructions.

Fang Qingyu felt the new power surging within his body like a river. Every step he took felt incredibly light, and his qi and blood flowed smoothly and effortlessly. Every movement seemed to contain the power to shake mountains.

en route.

Wei Banmeng quickly and concisely recounted the events that occurred when he was suspending and absorbing the core, during which various forces withdrew, Deep Blue Heavy Industry made overtures, and later, other members of the Hidden Dragon Project appeared and then left in disappointment.

Chu Kuanglan and Lu Jiuyuan also showed a rare smile as they recounted their recent gains.

The main reason is that those second-tier powerhouses left in a hurry and didn't take away some of the materials from the molting-level life ghosts.

So the money ended up in the pockets of several people.

As the two were talking, they showed no jealousy whatsoever about Fang Qingyu obtaining the core.

Because everyone knows.

Fang Qingyu was able to obtain the core position through his own hard work and effort.

soon.

The group rushed out of the entrance to the ruins.

Returning to that devastated, dark red plain, the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder and blood.

Fang Qingyu felt as if he had been transported to another world.

In just over an hour, he experienced the bloody chaos of the core struggle, slashed at the Chosen One, and personally witnessed a leap in strength.

"Phew, finally out."

Chu Kuanglan let out a long breath and wiped the sweat and bloodstains from his face.

"Don't relax, get out of here immediately!"

Wei Banmeng scanned her surroundings warily, her cool voice carrying a warning.

She looked at the map and pointed in a direction: "Let's go to Dingyuan Station first."

Everyone nodded immediately.

Everyone remembered the main purpose of their visit.

The ruins were an unexpected bonus, as Fang Qingyu not only obtained the core.

The group also obtained some life beads and rare materials.

In a short period of time.

We've made a profit.

But the primary objective is still... Thunder Source Essence!
