I am a high-level martial arts master.

Chapter 304 Fist Suppresses Bao Dan, Sword Points at Starship!

Inside the dimly lit private room, on the soft, large bed.

Le Yao sank into the soft bedding like a pool of spring water, savoring everything that had just happened, and let out a satisfied sigh.

That feeling of the soul soaring to the heavens is even more intense than the descriptions in popular books.

Without the icy coldness of the outside world, fine beads of sweat dampened his ink-black hair.

The soft cotton quilt spread out, wrapping her delicate body, leaving only her fragrant breaths.

The gaze shifts downwards, and the boy rests his head on his abdomen, a slight tickling sensation arising with each breath, while the man's arms gently embrace his shapely, rounded legs, honed by years of martial arts training.

Looking at that handsome and refined profile, the girl subconsciously pulled up the blankets to bury the silly, uncontrollable smile that was rising within her.

Before knocking on the door, all the tension and anxiety transformed into the fulfillment that comes after a binge.

Not just the soul, but every single cell in the body went wild during that process.

Moreover, the realm of cultivation is also...

He reached the Great Perfection of Dark Strength so easily, and his Qi and Blood were not much different from those of a Transformation Strength cultivator.

……

Awakening from his deep sleep, Ye Li's energy was restored to its former vigor.

Thinking back on everything that had just happened, he couldn't help but chuckle. The effects of this cultivation were many times stronger than those of the Universe Realm.

The people of this world have been suffering from a chronic thirst for spiritual energy, with their divine and demonic cells constantly lacking it.

As soon as Ye Li entered, the pure spiritual energy he brought caused every cell in his body to become restless. Coupled with his single-minded pursuit of the Dao and his unleashing of power, the whole process made Ye Li's experience extremely novel.

"Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor ascended to heaven with three thousand women; perhaps I could emulate that."

"In this degenerate age, with cells thirsting for spiritual energy and everyone single-mindedly pursuing the Dao, to put it bluntly, everyone is actually a potential 'spiritual being,' unable to withstand the influx of spiritual energy."

As Ye Li thought this, he looked out the window.

After more than ten hours of sailing, the starship's speed has stabilized, and it will arrive at the capital in another ten minutes.

Ye Li's movements woke Le Yao, and looking at the time on the screen, she couldn't help but blush.

It had been over ten hours in the sky, even though I only felt like I had rested for a short while.

After glancing at the pink dress lying on the side, the girl hurriedly bent down to put it on and ran to her private room without a bra.

Moments later, the entire starship successfully landed at the capital city airport.

The hatch opened, and a group of people slowly walked out of their respective compartments.

Pei Taoyu glanced at Le Yao with some concern.

The other person was still dressed in white, but in Pei Taoyu's perception, Zheng Leyao's vital energy was inexplicably many times stronger, and she thought to herself:

"This woman, has she taken out another loan?"

But then, under Pei Taoyu's hostile gaze...

Le Yao's hand had somehow already reached Ye Li's wrist, and Pei Taoyu's gaze was stung by this sight.

"That damned brat from the Zheng family!"

Pei Taoyu was furious, but she couldn't show it, so she could only keep it to herself.

With a slightly smug look at the furious Pei Taoyu, Le Yao knew she had already won too much and didn't bother to argue.

With a sweep of his spiritual senses across the entire capital, Ye Li saw that after several days of being cleansed by the Qi and Blood Network, everyone in the capital was incredibly full of Qi and Blood.

Clearly, the rosary has been effective.

However, once the trend of everyone practicing martial arts took hold, unrest was inevitable.

After all, when everyone reaches the Transformation Realm, the power gap between martial artists will rapidly narrow.

At that time, who will be the one to shovel manure, who will be the lowest class, and who will define the so-called superior people?

A knight-errant uses his martial arts to break the law. You used to be a master of martial arts, so I had to obey you.

But now everyone is at the Transformation Realm, why should I listen to you?

Even if we could introduce Western AI to do the work that people don't want to do.

However, the hierarchical relationship between people and the relationship of productivity may be completely overturned due to changes in power.

"Immortal Master, this journey was urgent and not widely announced, so no one came to pick us up at the airport."

Li Cunzhen said with a smile, "If the people of the capital knew that the Immortal Master had arrived, it would probably cause a sensation throughout the city, with countless dignitaries crowding the entire launch pad."

"Your next accommodation has been arranged; it is Tingyu Pavilion in the city."

"It doesn't matter, you can arrange that."

Li Cunzhen led the way through the VIP passage, where a black car that had been floating in the air was already waiting for a long time.

Inside the carriage, Li Cunzhen poured tea for Ye Li and then said:

"Immortal Master, tonight at the pavilion in the middle of Bibo Lake, my old friends who have mastered the Elixir will be hosting a banquet to welcome you."

Ye Li handed the tea to the two women, and looking at Li Cunzhen's somewhat solemn expression, asked, "What's wrong? Why the look on your face?"

"The news of this Dan-accomplishment banquet spread like wildfire. In addition to my old friends, dozens of well-known Dan-accomplishers in the capital will be present at the event."

Upon hearing that there were dozens of people who had reached the Core Formation stage, Ye Li raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised by the number.

It truly lives up to its reputation as the heart of the capital, a place brimming with the grandeur of the city, a veritable den of hidden talents.

Li Cunzhen hesitated for a moment before saying, "For a martial artist to cultivate to the point of 'embracing the elixir,' it's not just about their own talent and diligence, but also about the cultivation and support of powerful figures."

"For example, the Qing Dynasty once collected countless precious medicinal herbs that grew when spiritual energy was present. With the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the royal mausoleum buried in the dragon vein was excavated."

"The countless precious medicines buried with the deceased were retrieved by later generations. After obtaining them, various forces rewarded their own martial artists, leading to a brief period of prosperity in martial arts over the past few hundred years, with countless heroes emerging."

"Most of the countless high-ranking officials in the capital have now defected to various military forces."

"The leaders of the Imperial Guard, the Palace Guard, and the Capital Garrison are all Great True Men in the middle and late stages of the Dan-Bao period, so that they can command all sides."

"Now, Immortal Master, your vital energy has given the entire capital a new look, causing countless True Immortals to be curious and even harbor ill intentions, and they may cause trouble in the pavilion in the middle of the lake."

"After all, those who can reach the level of 'Bao Dan' have a temperament and personality that are different from ordinary people, and their minds are more resolute. They are not easily persuaded by ordinary people."

Ye Li nodded slightly and said:

"I understand what you mean. Those people think my strength isn't enough to convince them, so they might have to fight me, right?"

……

On the shimmering lake, in the pavilion in the center.

It's more accurate to describe it as a simple yet exquisite stone platform, covering a hundred feet in area and open to the wind on all sides.

The area around this pavilion in the middle of the lake is deserted for miles around, but the atmosphere inside the pavilion is solemn.

Accompanied by Li Cunzhen, Ye Li walked through the water into the pavilion, only to find dozens of elderly men with profound and unfathomable auras already sitting there.

"Master Ye, you've arrived!"

Upon Ye Li's arrival, the assembled masters, who had already seen his appearance in the newspapers, clasped their hands in greeting.

"Master Ye, this is Elder Wang, whose Iron Palm Shakes the Mountain, and this is Elder Zhang, whose Eight Trigrams Can Stabilize the Heavens..."

Li Cunzhen stood aside and introduced the approaching Dan to Ye Li one by one. Ye Li clasped his hands slightly in return.

After a brief introduction, everyone took their seats.

A variety of dishes were laid out on the stone table in front of them, all brought by the martial artist who waded into the heart of the lake.

The atmosphere in the arena was somewhat somber. Some of the disciples had different expressions in their eyes, but no one chose to start an attack at the beginning.

Looking at the delicacies on the stone table, Ye Li sat down without saying a word. Instead, under the watchful eyes of the assembled immortals, he slowly and methodically dealt with the ingredients in front of him.

Someone tried to speak up, but Ye Li stopped them all:

"Gentlemen, I have come from Tianjin after a long journey. Please allow me to sample some local delicacies before we talk."

Out of consideration for hospitality, the group of Dan members swallowed their words.

Immediately, under the strange gazes of the group of Dan cultivators, Ye Li appeared to be there simply to freeload.

Seeing Ye Li enjoying his meal, some of the grandmasters couldn't help but feel their appetites whetted, and casually picked up a couple of chopsticks.

I took a couple of bites of almost every dish that came out, savoring each one.

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes,

Ye Li slowly picked up a silk handkerchief and wiped her mouth, then said contentedly:

"Now that we've had our fill of food and drink, let's all speak freely."

Upon hearing this, an elderly man with a refined face and sharp eyes spoke first: "In that case, Master Ye, I'll get straight to the point!"

Ye Li narrowed his eyes slightly, recognizing the old man who had spoken.

The speaker was Yang Yizhen, a master of Xingyi Quan who had once observed the heavens and earth and was inspired by imitating the four ancient mythical beasts: the White Tiger, the Azure Dragon, the Vermilion Bird, and the Black Tortoise.

He once single-handedly divided four techniques and fought four opponents with equal skill, gaining great fame. He is now the chief instructor of the 80 million-strong Guardian Army.

The moment the other person spoke, the entire room fell silent.

The old man gently put down his wine cup and said, "Master Ye's Qi and Blood Bank is evident to all, and it can be said to benefit the country and the people. We admire it, but if everyone can practice martial arts, it will inevitably lead to evil intentions."

"Now, because of the matter of Qi and blood, the people of the entire capital are restless. Everyone can come into contact with martial arts, which will surely lead to unrest among the common people, causing them to stop producing and their minds to be in turmoil."

"Therefore, I believe we must regulate the Qi and Blood Bank, limit the number of people practicing martial arts, ensure everyone develops internal strength and improves their health, and then select those with exceptional talent for intensive training to prevent the decline of talent..."

"Master Yang is right, but I have another opinion!"

Another ruthless fighter, Zhao Wu Hui, slammed his fist on the table and stood up:

"In Tianjin, the Immortal Master offered a seven-day interest-free loan, which was a benevolent act. But now in the capital, he has doubled the interest rate—this is tantamount to robbery!"

"If the Immortal Master truly cares about the country and its people, then waive the interest to prevent future troubles. Only then can he be considered to have a clear conscience!"

"Master Zhao is right!" another True Immortal echoed.

"At this time of internal and external troubles and changing times, since Master Ye's Qi and Blood Network has the power to reverse the tide, it should be handed over to the government instead of being kept private; to do so would be petty!"

"I have a problem with that too! Master Ye..."

"There's another question, this..."

……

At the scene, many Nascent Soul cultivators who had been holding back for a long time finally expressed their dissatisfaction after Yang Yizhen spoke.

In an instant, the room became noisy and chaotic!

Ye Li glanced at it and understood immediately.

It is clear that most of these powerful figures who open their mouths are actually under the command of various warlords, holding great power and backed by influential figures.

Most of them were lobbying on behalf of their respective factions and advocating for their own interests.

Some say bank interest rates are too high, some say they should be turned over to the government, and some say barriers should be erected...

Ye Li remained silent throughout, quietly waiting for each person to express their views and listening to their accusations.

Midway through, Li Cunzhen tried to speak up to stop them, but Ye Li pressed her back down.

As time went by, fewer and fewer people spoke up, until finally none at all.

Everyone stared intently at Ye Li, who had remained silent throughout, waiting for him to give an explanation.

At this point, he surveyed the entire room, a slight smile appearing on his face, and asked, "Have you finished speaking?"

"In that case, having taken into account the opinions of all the masters, it's my turn to say a few points."

Ye Li tapped the table lightly with his index finger and said slowly:

"The decision to have everyone practice martial arts will not change! I will still control the Qi and Blood Bank! As for areas outside Tianjin, the interest rate is locked in."

Upon hearing this, the faces of those who had spoken earlier darkened slightly.

Nothing has changed, has it? They said so much, but this guy didn't listen at all.

"Of course, I know that you masters are not satisfied with what I just said, but martial arts determine the winner, and having a fight is more useful than anything else."

As Ye Li spoke, he extended his right hand forward, spreading his five fingers and pressing them against the edge of the heavy stone table:

"You're really giving me the nerve! Anyone who objects, fly away!"

boom--!!!

With a loud crash, Ye Li abruptly overturned the entire stone table, which was carved from white marble.

The solid stone table base snapped in his hands and flew through the air.

The countless delicacies on the table, along with the cups and plates, flew everywhere and, under the influence of Ye Li's true energy, were directly thrown towards Yang Yizhen, who had just spoken!

Flipping the table during a meal is a major taboo in etiquette, signifying a complete falling out.

Ye Li is a very cunning person. Knowing that a fight was about to begin, he started eating like crazy as soon as he entered the arena. Once he was full, he flipped the table, leaving none of the real people with any food.

Looking at the overturned stone table, no one expected Ye Li to strike first and attack everyone directly.

"presumptuous!"

Yang Zhenyi stared at the stone table that had been smashed towards him, his anger rising. He had been cultivating at the Core Formation stage for over a hundred years, and had never been so humiliated.

"Azure Dragon Probes with its Claw!!!"

The next moment, the Azure Dragon Form and Intent was unleashed.

The old man stomped his feet on the ground and swung his right hand out like a claw, smashing it against the stone table in front of him.

As dragon roars echoed through the void, Yang Zhenyi's right claw was about to pierce through the stone table and dig towards Ye Li.

But the next moment, the instant its claws touched the stone table, it was as if tofu had hit a block of iron.

what--

With a scream, Yang Zhenyi's right claw shattered upon impact with the stone table, and his entire body was blasted away thousands of feet by the table's terrifying kinetic energy.

Ye Li sneered: "What are you going to do playing games with the Dragon Form True Intent in front of me!"

The countless delicacies and the cups and plates scattered everywhere were now carrying boundless kinetic energy, blasting away countless Dan-level cultivators who were making their moves, just like meteors.

In just one exchange, Ye Li cleared out the early and mid-stage True Immortals who had expressed their opinions earlier.

"What kind of tactic is this?!"

The group of Dan cultivators who witnessed this move found it utterly unbelievable.

That stone table and leftover food, though slow, contained immense power, which even a group of immortals could not stop. Could it be a Tai Chi technique?

The answer is true qi!

Ye Li added his true energy to the food!

A late-stage Core Formation cultivator snorted coldly and swept away the dishes that were being offered to him:

"Arrogant! This junior has some skills, but he's far too presumptuous. Let him test his abilities against this old man!"

After saying this, his blood and qi surged like boiling water, and every blood vessel in his body seemed to be rushing like the Yangtze River. The terrifying aura made the hairs on the heads of the people around him stand on end.

Before he finished speaking, he had already taken a step forward.

In an instant, the area within a ten-mile radius of Bibo Lake trembled violently, transforming into a water wall hundreds of feet high.

When Bao Dan rages, the heavens and earth change color.

Even a blank slate can sink a small country with a single full-force attack.

If Ye Li hadn't secretly channeled his true energy into his feet from the very beginning, solidifying the area within a thousand miles, and if the old man hadn't intentionally minimized the damage...

I'm afraid that this one step will cause more than just a tremor that stretches for miles.

"Empty Palm!"

After the old man finished speaking, propelled by countless streams of qi and blood within his body comparable to the Yangtze River, he thrust his right arm forward with a sudden burst of energy.

This palm strike could blast the surrounding area into a vacuum, leaving no matter within a thousand miles.

Wherever it passed, the air was compressed into solid form, emitting a piercing explosion. At its core, it was as if hundreds of thousands of nuclear bombs had exploded, creating terrifying heat.

Ye Li did not dodge, but instead channeled all his inner energy and raised his hand to meet the opponent's right palm head-on.

The moment the two collided, the terrifying gust of wind seemed to tear the heavens and the earth apart.

Those cultivators at the early and middle stages of the Core Formation realm around them paled in shock at the forceful clash of their palms.

The terrifying impact was like facing a star exploding instantly.

Everyone was pushed back hundreds of feet by the force before they could finally stop, and no one dared to watch the battle from the core position.

A fierce wind swept through, and true energy roared. Relying on his inexhaustible true energy, Ye Li consumed about one-tenth of his true energy with this palm strike.

With their true energy burning intensely, both of them were forced back two steps by the force of the palm strike.

At this moment, the entire pavilion in the middle of the lake had already been reduced to dust and broken into atoms by this palm strike, spreading in all directions.

A smile appeared on the face of the True Man of Embracing Elixir, and he said, "Master Ye, our strengths are now roughly equal. Although your methods are strange, you can't ultimately subdue him."

"Moreover, I'm not the only one in the late stage of the Core Formation realm who has come to the center of this lake this time."

As Master Baodan spoke, another figure slowly stepped into the center of the lake.

The newcomer was also at the Core Formation stage, specifically the late stage.

This late-stage Core Formation cultivator hadn't spoken during the earlier debate, but seeing Ye Li's move, he was eager to exchange blows and spar with him.

The old man chuckled, "I alone am no match for you, Master Ye, but two of me... well, it's not just a matter of whether you can handle it!"

Ye Li didn't speak, but thought to himself:

"It seems that with my current pure brute strength, without considering healing, unlimited true qi energy, and some special amplification attributes, I can be compared to a basic late-stage Core Formation cultivator, which is equivalent to the eighth level."

Having only fought against Transformation Realm experts piloting the Core Formation Mech, Ye Li was somewhat unsure of his current position in this world.

After a fight, he finally understood his own limitations.

He raised his hand and continued forward. After understanding the current strength, Ye no longer held back and quietly entered the accelerated state of [Storm Demon-Slaying Sword] and [Swiftness].

The next moment, the two Dan-level cultivators' expressions changed as they felt the overwhelming pressure.

In an instant, Ye Li's speed increased by 2.3 times, and he almost turned into a blur as he rushed towards us.

"What kind of evil technique is this! Even a peak Core Formation cultivator wouldn't dare to move this fast! Could it be a True Immortal of the罡劲 realm?!"

The two men holding the dantian felt a blur before their eyes, but the next moment they saw Ye Li's right fist rapidly expanding in front of them.

Almost instinctively, relying on their experience, the two raised their hands to defend themselves.

The moment their fists clashed, a mushroom cloud exploded from the collision, causing a violent tremor across the land for miles around, and the terrifying heat dried up the entire lake.

The two of them took two steps back simultaneously, feeling the eeriness and terror within—Ye Li's power had not increased!

This was completely beyond their understanding and perception of force.

If the previous true qi had already dealt a devastating blow to these barbarians who only trained their physical bodies, then the existence of the term had already overturned their previous worldview.

As one progresses through martial arts to the point of reaching the Dantian stage, one can barely see the trajectory of photons passing before one's eyes and visually perceive the redshift phenomenon in the universe. As the speed increases, it becomes increasingly difficult.

In the realm of low beams, every slight improvement is incredibly difficult.

As a result, Ye Li actually used the power of the late-stage Core Formation realm to forcibly more than double his speed.

"Could it be some kind of Western supernatural ability?" Suspicion arose in their minds.

As their fists collided, the eyes of the assembled experts who had been watching closely saw an endless surge of light and heat.

The martial artist in the late stage of the Core Formation realm was startled when he saw Ye Li preparing to raise his fist to strike again, and a sense of defeat welled up in his heart.

We can't beat them, we simply can't beat them!

If someone has the same strength as you but twice your speed, what's the point of fighting them?

The two immediately said, "Master Ye, we..."

"Too late! Begging for mercy halfway through is against the rules!"

Ye Li sneered, and in the next instant, he clenched his right fist. The terrifying fist intent spread in all directions, and people within a radius of a thousand miles felt a heavy weight in their hearts.

The moment the punch was thrown, the two grandmasters only saw the world before them shatter before their eyes.

It was as if Ye Li was dragging a star down on him, or as if a star from the Milky Way was falling.

That terrifying power was even more terrifying than the attack of a Grandmaster of罡劲!

All that remained in their eyes was Ye Li's fist.

Boundless fear arose in their hearts, and they had no intention of resisting at all; they even wanted to worship.

Like an ant trying to shake a tree, there was no chance of victory. They naturally lowered their hands, and a sense of death welled up in their eyes.

When he came to his senses, Ye Li's fist had already slowly stopped in front of him.

Fear flashed in their eyes as they found themselves kneeling on the ground. They looked at each other, wondering what had just happened.

Ye Li slowly withdrew his hand, looking at the two kneeling figures before him, and the group of Core Formation cultivators whose minds had been stirred, and thought to himself:

Although martial arts training tempers the spirit, it ultimately cannot project that spirit outwards.

"Therefore, using a mental attack like the 'Great Nirvana Mindscape' to defeat these guys who have achieved physical sainthood is incredibly effective."

"It seems that I have nothing to worry about in this world below the Grandmaster level of the罡劲 (Gang Jin)."

Thinking of this, Ye Li slowly turned his head.

In the span of a dozen or so breaths, the entire pavilion in the middle of the lake had evaporated completely, exposing the dry soil at the bottom of the lake.

The clouds in the sky were shattered, the mountains and rivers within a hundred miles changed color, and you could even see the vacuum of space after the atmosphere was shattered!

Everyone was still reeling from Ye Li's punch. Ye Li stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the crowd, and said calmly:

"Now, does anyone have any objections to my proposal?"

Everyone holding Dan remained silent; no one spoke.

Seeing the silence, Ye Li raised his hand and looked up.

In the distance, countless star destroyers had been attracted to the sky because of the battle taking place there.

Ye Li pointed to the starship in the sky and laughed:

"How do you all feel about yourselves compared to this Western starship?"

The assembled immortals were filled with suspicion: 'What is this guy up to?'
