High Martial Arts Storm

Two hours later.

Yang Haocheng and Mo Yan checked out of the hotel and left.

Unbeknownst to them, someone had secretly taken their photos and sent them to the terminal network.

"I have to go back now. Don't work too hard. When I become strong in the future, I can protect you," Mo Yan said with some reluctance.

"Okay, I'll be waiting!"

Yang Haocheng opened his arms wide and said with a smile, "Good friend, let's have a farewell hug!"

"No way!"

Mo Yan said no, but her eyes held a smile and a hint of shyness. She hugged Yang Haocheng and then ran away.

"Women... no, girls! They say one thing but mean another," Yang Haocheng muttered with a chuckle.

Then!

He returned to the city lord's mansion and cultivated day after day, entering the "Intelligent Battle System" to participate in arena battles.

Time flies like a white horse galloping past your knees; in the blink of an eye, another twenty-one days have passed.

"It's done!"

In the lounge.

Yang Haocheng opened up another blocked acupoint, and with a look of surprise on his face, he jumped up and stretched comfortably.

This is the end.

To master both combat techniques, one needs to open all the blocked acupoints. Once all of these are opened, and he continues to practice the two techniques diligently, his combat power will increase dramatically.

"My proficiency with the Thirteen Mad Demon Slashes has reached 9.1; my proficiency with the Willow Steps has reached 9.9. After a few dozen more battles on the arena, I should be able to master the Willow Steps. As for the Thirteen Mad Demon Slashes, it will probably only take a few days to master them as well," Yang Haocheng thought to himself.

"In addition, my battle points have reached 23,980, and my points for the 10,000th place on the 'Newcomer Battle Ranking' have also increased. However, I only need to add 32 more points to surpass my opponent."

"Go to battle!"

Yang Haocheng walked outside.

Two hours later.

Yang Haocheng fought twelve more battles, winning ten and losing two. His battle points were just two points away from breaking into the 10,000th place on the "Newcomer Battle Ranking".

at this time!

His proficiency in "Floating Willow Steps" has increased to 10 points, reaching the mastery stage; while his proficiency in "Thirteen Mad Slashes" has also increased to 9.2.

"Let's fight another battle."

Yang Haocheng still chose "cross-level battle + 2 stars", and his opponent was still a nine-star battle official.

"Yang Haocheng, please enlighten me."

"Mori-tora, please enlighten me."

Without exchanging many words, the two immediately began fighting.

Yang Haocheng's combat skill "Floating Willow Steps" has broken through to the mastery stage. With full speed burst, his speed has increased by two points. Even when he uses "Thirteen Mad Demon Slashes", his attack speed and power have been improved.

The opponent was not very strong.

Therefore, Yang Haocheng only used his sixth move, and successfully killed his opponent while risking injury.

At this time.

A notification sounded indicating the start of the "Intelligent Battle System":

"Congratulations on breaking into the top 10,000 of the 'Newcomer Battle Ranking'! Due to your special authorization, you are awarded 1,000 points and your ranking is locked."

Please contact the authorized person.

Successful.

Overjoyed, Yang Haocheng immediately exited the "Intelligent Battle System," rushed out of the sensor cabin, and headed straight for the sixth floor.

The sixth floor.

Nan Zhanming also received the notification.

A bright smile appeared on his dignified face, along with a hint of satisfaction.

"Lord of the city, I have something to report to you." Yang Haocheng knocked on the door and went in to say this.

"I already know, very good." Nan Zhanming nodded in satisfaction, then used his personal terminal to transfer 10 million star coins to Yang Haocheng before continuing, "There are still six or seven days left until the two-month deadline, and you've already broken into the top 10,000 of the 'Newcomer Battle Ranking,' which is even better than I imagined."

"Thank you, City Lord," Yang Haocheng said with a smile.

"No need to thank me, this is all thanks to your hard work." Nan Zhanming waved his hand, gesturing for Yang Haocheng to sit down, and then said again, "Take a good rest today, and enter the 'Dragon Blood Pool' to cultivate tomorrow."

"yes!"

Yang Haocheng's spirits lifted.

"Bang bang..."

There was a knock on the door, and Old Master Mo walked in from outside.

He glanced at Yang Haocheng with surprise, then asked Nan Zhanming, "City Lord, did you summon me here because you have some instructions?"

"Go to the storeroom and fetch the 'Nine-Colored Fire Dragon Blade'," Nan Zhanming said with a smile.

"good!"

Master Mo immediately responded.

soon.

He then took out the "Nine-Tiered Fire Dragon Blade".

"Yang Haocheng, this is a high-grade celestial weapon, a battle blade once used by my master." Nan Zhanming took a deep breath, solemnly handed over the battle blade, and said, "Today, I give it to you, hoping that you will not tarnish the reputation of this battle blade, and even more so, that it will not be tarnished in the future."

"Lord, this is far too valuable..."

"A gift from an elder cannot be refused; I shall accept it," Nan Zhanming said in a deep voice.

"Yes! Thank you, City Lord." Yang Haocheng hurriedly accepted it.

"No need to thank me." Nan Zhanming finally smiled again and said, "From now on, you don't need to call me City Lord. We have a connection, just call me Uncle Nan!"

"Uncle Nan."

"Um!"

Nan Zhanming smiled with satisfaction: "Go! Get some rest. After you finish your cultivation at the 'Dragon Blood Pool' tomorrow, you can leave the City Lord's Mansion. Come back to see me on August 20th, and I'll introduce you to your future tutor then."

"good!"

Yang Haocheng left and immediately returned to the lounge.

He was very tired.

It's a kind of exhaustion that comes from the very soul.

So after a quick wash, he lay down on the big bed and fell fast asleep.

This sleep!

He slept until he naturally woke up.

When I opened my eyes the next day, I found that fifteen hours had passed.

"You're awake? You look quite refreshed!" Old Mo, who was waiting outside, smiled and said when he saw Yang Haocheng come out, "Come with me! I hope you'll make good progress in your 'Dragon Blood Pool' cultivation this time."

"Thank you, Mr. Mo."

"hehe!"

soon.

Yang Haocheng arrived at the "Dragon Blood Pool".

He was no stranger to this place.

The pool, about the size of a basketball court, contained a red liquid that seemed to be boiling, with dozens of transparent, bubble-like domes floating on top of it.

Yang Haocheng took a deep breath and strode inside.

Absorb and refine.

His mind gradually became immersed in cultivation, and the storm halo in his dantian space began to rotate faster.

Yang Haocheng's body was like a medium, with a large amount of spiritual energy being frantically drawn out and injected into his dantian space, and finally swallowed up by the storm halo.

The spiritual energy is transformed and used to nourish the cultivation of internal energy.

With his eyes closed, Yang Haocheng began to manipulate the internal energy in his meridians as it increased, attempting to break through the blocked acupoints in the Great Circulation Meridian.

As the blocked acupoints were opened one by one, his aura grew stronger and stronger.

Meanwhile, within his dantian, the blue rhombus-shaped crystal shrouded in the storm's halo emitted an increasingly intense green light. Countless strands of green light overflowed from his dantian, merging into his muscles, bones, internal organs, and meridians.

Yang Haocheng's attention was not focused on the green light, nor did he notice the changes in his own body.

otherwise!

He will surely be able to discover that his physical strength is increasing.

Pain...

It started to get stronger.

Having learned from his previous experience, Yang Haocheng knew that as long as he could endure the pain, the longer he cultivated in the "Dragon Blood Pool," the more benefits he would gain.

patience!

adhere to!

He hardened his heart and continuously manipulated his surging internal energy to attack the blocked acupoints.

Time flies.

Twenty-four hours after Yang Haocheng entered the "Dragon Blood Pool," he finally couldn't hold back any longer and climbed out of the pool in a disheveled state.

"A total of eighteen blocked acupoints have been opened, and the combat power has broken through to 19.2."

"Nine-Star Battle Officer Realm".

"With my current strength, if I were to challenge someone in the 'Intelligent Battle System,' I doubt there would be many opponents below the Battle General realm who could match me."

"What about experts at the One-Star Warrior Realm? Do I even have the ability to fight them?"

After thinking for a moment, Yang Haocheng decided that once he had rested, he would go to the arena of the "Intelligent Battle System" to find a one-star warrior to fight against and test how much progress he had made.

He then checked the data on the system panel:

Combat power increase: 0.3.

extract!

Yang Haocheng struggled to sit cross-legged and easily opened three blocked acupoints, bringing his combat power to 19.5.

"I'm only 0.5 points away. There are only five and a half days left until August 20th. Can I break through to the Battle General realm in such a short time?"

"If my cultivation level reaches the Battle General realm, will the 'Blessed Land' system upgrade again? Can the number of bound users continue to increase?"

Thinking of this, Yang Haocheng felt a surge of anticipation.
