Gao Wu: You broke off the engagement at my 100th birthday banquet, do you dare take my punch?

He looked at his hands with some surprise.

Normally speaking.

When a second-grade martial artist undergoes bone tempering, the increase in qi and blood after tempering a single bone is approximately between seventeen and twenty jin.

People like Qin Yan, who are born with strong bloodlines, can increase their blood pressure by more than 20 jin, while Liu Ruyan, who has a saint-grade bloodline, can often increase her blood pressure by nearly 30 jin by tempering a bone.

"These... are nothing compared to my rate of improvement."

Qin Changsheng's eyes flickered: "Taking advantage of this momentum, we should continue our training in one go and strive to enter the third rank as soon as possible. Only in this way can we protect the Qin family."

……

……

In the blink of an eye.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

This day.

The Ninth Province.

Military headquarters.

"Welcome back in triumph, Grandmaster Chen!"

"Welcome, Grandmaster!"

"May the human race prosper in battle!"

The Ninth Provincial Army, arrayed in perfect formation, stood at the entrance to the battlefield of all races, unleashing a thunderous roar that shook the heavens and earth!

At the entrance.

A middle-aged man, who looked to be in his forties or fifties, led the team out.

He had a stern appearance, his square face full of majesty. With a single glance from his tiger-like eyes, the soldiers being inspected would tremble involuntarily, their backs straightening even more, for fear of showing weakness in front of the Grandmaster.

"This battle."

The middle-aged man spoke slowly, his voice calm yet imposing: "I, Chen Shanhe, led the team and slew one Grandmaster and ten Quasi-Grandmasters from all races, annihilating over a thousand enemies and upholding the might of our human race!"

"Grandmaster, you are mighty!"

"Congratulations to the Grandmaster! Congratulations to our human race!"

The soldiers of the Ninth Provincial Army cheered once again.

Just now.

Grandmaster Chen Shanhe frowned, then changed the subject, his voice becoming colder: "However, while I, Chen, am fighting on the front lines of the myriad races, some people are bullying my disciple Ruyan's family from the rear. The Ninth Province, you are truly something else."

These words were spoken.

hiss--

The sound of gasping for air filled the air.

The crowd's expressions changed, and they became agitated.

"Who dares to bully a grandmaster's successor?"

"They must have eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard, and drunk the most nourishing tiger bone soup, daring to bully even the descendant of the pillars of my human race!"

"Grandmaster, please calm your anger. We'll go immediately and annihilate that arrogant fool!"

The warriors of the Ninth Province Army were all radiating blood and qi, their bodies exuding a chilling killing intent.

A hint of satisfaction flashed across Chen Shanhe's calm and dignified square face. After the crowd had been shouting for a while, he slowly spoke: "No need. You are guarding the entrance and exit of the battlefield of ten thousand races. Although it is not the main pass, it cannot be allowed to be damaged."

"I, Chen, will handle today's matter personally."

"The Master's Righteousness!"

"Grandmaster Chen's magnanimity is truly admirable!"

The soldiers of the Ninth Province hurriedly fawned over them.

Chen Shanhe remained calm and glanced at his subordinates behind him: "You all go to the capital first and wait for me at the First Military Academy."

"Yes, Grandmaster!"

The generals obeyed and headed towards the vehicles that had been prepared in advance.

Chen Shanhe took a step, and his blood and qi erupted instantly, shooting into the sky like a blood-red rainbow. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the horizon without a trace.

"Legend has it that grandmaster-level experts can fly through the air, traveling tens of thousands of miles a day as if walking on flat ground. I never imagined it was true!"

"Grandmaster Chen seems to have left in the direction of Jiangnan City."

"Jiangnan City?"

"In that wretched little place, someone actually dares to mess with a grandmaster's successor?"

The soldiers of the Ninth Province were discussing the matter extensively.

At this time.

Jiangnan City.

Qin family.

【Ding--】

[System upgrade complete. Upgrade reward: +1 copy attempt!]

Qin Changsheng heard the system notification sound.

At that very moment.

His body's qi and blood surged, and a powerful qi and blood force exploded, emitting a thunderous roar. At the moment of completing the tempering of the last bone, his qi and blood, which was stuck at 9,999 jin, officially broke through to 10,000 jin!

"Increases Qi and Blood by 7,000 jin in three days..."

Qin Changsheng opened his eyes, a flash of brilliance in them, and exclaimed excitedly, "My rate of improvement will scare countless people to death if word gets out. Next, all I need to do is open my main meridians, and then I will officially enter the third rank."

He slowly got up and stretched his body: "I still have one more chance to replicate, I can't waste it easily. At the very least, I need to find a mutated bloodline comparable to Qin Yan's and a Saint-grade bloodline like Liu Ruyan's before using the replication opportunity."

He was scheming intensely in his mind.

call--

A powerful surge of energy and blood energy swept in from the horizon. The energy and blood energy energy was not directed at Qin Changsheng, but it still caused his body to tremble slightly, and his internal energy and blood energy fluctuated violently. It took a while for it to subside.

"This is……"

Qin Changsheng's expression changed slightly.

He wasn't the only one who sensed this energy.

Throughout Jiangnan City, every martial artist felt this terrifying fluctuation of qi and blood, and involuntarily raised their heads to look at the fleeting figure high in the sky.

"This fluctuation... could it be from a Grandmaster-level expert!?"

"What?!"

"A Grandmaster-level expert has actually graced the small city of Jiangnan with his presence? How is that possible?"

"He is definitely a Grandmaster. The fluctuations of his aura covered tens of thousands of meters. Just one fluctuation made countless people tremble. Apart from our human race's Grandmasters, who else could possess such a terrifying aura?"

Countless people looked up at that figure.

In a short time.

The news of the Grandmaster's arrival in Jiangnan City spread almost instantly throughout the streets and alleys.

"Grandmaster..."

Qin Changsheng's eyes flickered slightly, and his qi and blood quickly returned to normal, but his expression was still unsettled: "If nothing unexpected happens... it should be the person behind the Liu family who has arrived. They've come quite quickly."

He originally planned to break through to the third rank before the other party arrived.

In this way.

According to the rules of human martial arts, even a grandmaster should not attack him without cause. However, he did not expect that the other party would arrive much faster than he had imagined.

"It seems I need to break through immediately."

Qin Changsheng took a deep breath, sat back on his bed, regulated his internal energy and blood, and prepared to directly open his main meridian and enter the third-grade realm.

The words are divided into two parts.

Inside the Liu family's villa.

brush--

Grandmaster Chen Shanhe landed in the courtyard. Liu Ruyan, who had already heard the news, was waiting in the courtyard with her family.

"Ruyan greets her teacher!"

Liu Ruyan stepped forward enthusiastically and bowed to Chen Shanhe with her hands clasped in a martial arts salute.

"Um."

Chen Shanhe's expression remained indifferent, but his eyes revealed undisguised satisfaction: "When I left, you only had 2,700 jin of qi and blood. In just two months, you have increased it to 3,000 jin. It seems you haven't been slacking off lately."

"This disciple dares not!"

Liu Ruyan hurriedly replied, "This disciple always keeps in mind Teacher's teachings and has never slackened for a single day."

"Tell me about it."

Chen Shanhe abruptly changed the subject, his kind and satisfied expression instantly turning sharp: "You said someone is bullying the Liu family. Point me in the right direction, and I'll stand up for you."
