In chaotic times, one can become a martial immortal.

"Lu Yuan, you...you've also broken through to the Dark Force realm?"

Zhang Feng stared intently at Lu Yuan, asking incredulously.

"Um!"

Lu Yuan nodded.

When it's time to hide, hide; when it's time to reveal, reveal appropriately.

"It's only been a few days, and he's already broken through to the Dark Force realm? Doesn't he have any bottlenecks?"

Zhang Feng still looked at Lu Yuan in disbelief.

"If I remember correctly, he's only been here for five days, how come he's already broken through to the Dark Force realm so quickly?"

"He's only sixteen! A sixteen-year-old Ming Jin martial artist is already shocking enough, but he's already at An Jin!"

The others looked at Lu Yuan with expressions of shock.

"I never expected that he was the one who hid the deepest!"

The boy in the white coat and the boy with the big head exchanged an incredulous glance.

They thought they were the ones hiding the truth the most, but they never imagined that the one hiding the truth the most was actually Lu Yuan, who had only been there for a few days.

"Wang Chao, Chen Zheng, and Lu Yuan, you three come here and each of you punch me in the hand!"

Master Huang glanced at Lu Yuan with a look of surprise, then spoke to the three of them.

Clearly, he wanted to test them personally to see if the three of them had truly reached the level of internal strength.

Without hesitation, the three of them walked directly to Master Huang.

"Wang Chao, you go first!"

Master Huang stretched out a hand and spoke to the boy in the white coat.

"Excuse me!"

Wang Chao nodded, then punched Master Huang's palm.

An internal force was released, followed by a muffled thud.

However, Master Huang's hand remained completely still.

"So this is what a master of the Transformation Realm is like!"

A look of surprise flashed in Wang Chao's eyes.

Although he didn't unleash his full power with that punch, it was enough to easily injure an ordinary martial artist with internal strength.

However, not only did Master Huang's palm remain unharmed after taking the punch head-on, but the internal force he unleashed did not even affect Master Huang in the slightest, demonstrating the vast difference in skill between them.

"Indeed, it has reached the level of internal strength!"

Master Huang smiled and nodded, then said to the big-headed boy, "Chen Zheng, you can go all out, don't worry about hurting me!"

"I see!"

Chen Zheng nodded and clasped his hands in a salute to Master Huang.

Then, he took a deep breath and threw a punch.

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, Chen Zheng's fist slammed into Master Huang's hand.

However, Master Huang's palm was not only completely undamaged, but also remained unmoved.

"That's amazing!"

Everyone couldn't help but secretly marvel.

Chen Zheng's punch was probably his full-force strike, yet it still couldn't make Master Huang's hand retreat even an inch.

This is the mark of a master of the Transformation Realm; no matter how an expert of the Dark Realm attacks, they cannot harm them in the slightest.

"A master of Transformation Realm is indeed not someone a mere Inner Force martial artist can easily contend with!"

At this moment, a strange look appeared in Lu Yuan's eyes.

If one relies solely on qi and blood to generate internal strength, it is virtually impossible to use internal strength cultivation to defeat a martial artist with the transformation strength.

He could only achieve this by using the perfected Wind-Breaking Saber Technique and Finger Flicking Skill, or even by mastering the Swift Wind Step.

"Lu Yuan, you may also unleash your full power!"

Master Huang turned his gaze and said to Lu Yuan with a smile.

Lu Yuan didn't say much. He clasped his hands and bowed slightly to Master Huang before punching the other man's palm.

"Bang!"

With a burst of qi and blood, and the release of hidden energy, a rather muffled sound rang out.

As expected, Master Huang's hand remained completely still.

Clearly, Lu Yuan's performance was not much better than that of Wang Chao and Chen Zheng.

"At your age, to break through to the Dark Force realm so quickly, regardless of your innate talent, Dark Force is definitely not your limit. If you can find a powerful family to take care of you in the future, even if you truly reach the Rank 1, it's not without hope!"

Master Huang smiled at Lu Yuan and nodded, saying, "If you can reach the Transformation Realm before you turn thirty, then you have at least a 20% chance of becoming a true Rank 1 martial artist!"

"Yes, he looks like he's only sixteen, so young!"

"Although I'm already twenty-six this year, I've only just barely entered the Dark Force realm, yet my family already considers me a martial arts genius. But compared to him, what kind of genius am I?"

"If his natural talent isn't exceptional, then it's possible he's used some special method to overdraw his potential!"

Everyone looked at Lu Yuan with curiosity, wanting to know how he did it.

A sixteen-year-old martial artist with internal strength is extremely rare, even in the entire Qinghe County.

"Before thirty?"

Lu Yuan simply stood there quietly.

He is only sixteen years old now, but he is already a Dark Force martial artist. As long as he can maintain his progress, he will be able to undergo his third Qi and Blood Tempering before his birthday and become a Transformation Force martial artist.

Even so, he was still three years away from turning twenty, and thirteen years away from turning thirty, so he really couldn't imagine what level he would reach by then.

……

After practicing the Five Animal Fist once, Lu Yuan followed the others and ate a free serving of venison in the canteen.

Then he went to the front and received a bowl of nourishing soup and a bowl of qi-boosting soup from Manager Yu, and then went straight home.

"Ah Yuan, practicing martial arts is hard work, you should take care to rest."

After taking the medicine packet from Lu Yuan, Madam Yang said...

"I will!"

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, then played with the little girl for a while.

After Yang started boiling the medicinal soup, he immediately began practicing the Swift Wind Step in the courtyard.

This movement technique is quite exquisite. Qi and blood circulate between the legs, and when combined with the corresponding walking method, it can suddenly burst out with extremely fast speed, as swift as the wind.

[Swift Step not yet mastered (1/100)]

[Swift Step not yet mastered (3/100)]

……

【Swiftly Entering the Door (8/200)】

After only ten or so attempts, Lu Yuan successfully mastered the basics of the Swift Wind Step.

During this period, he not only drank a dose of Tonifying Essence Soup and a dose of Tonifying Qi Soup, but also practiced the Five Animal Fist twice more.

Night had fallen, and Madam Yang had already put her little girl to sleep.

After resting for a short while, Lu Yuan went out of the house again.

The moonlight poured down like mercury, illuminating the entire courtyard as if it were daytime.

The surroundings were completely silent, except for the chirping of insects in the corner and the little girl's babbling in her sleep.

"Clang!"

With a crisp sound, Lu Yuan drew his sword and began practicing the Blazing Sun Sword Technique.

Although it was just an ordinary longsword that he bought from the blacksmith's shop for half a tael of silver, it was enough for him to practice swordsmanship.

[The Blazing Sun Sword Technique is still in its infancy (1/500)]

Although Lu Yuan was mentally prepared, knowing that the Blazing Sun Sword Technique was a Xuan-grade technique above the Yellow Rank, and that its cultivation difficulty would definitely be much greater than that of the Wind-Breaking Saber Technique, he still did not expect that just to master it, he would need 500 proficiency points.

Keep in mind that even if you master the Wind-Breaking Blade Technique to a minor level, you only need a total of 300 proficiency points.

Of course, even so, he was still able to master it in a very short time.

Not only that, he also wanted to cultivate it to perfection as soon as possible.

Because once the Blazing Sun Sword Technique is mastered, the sword light can be condensed into even more powerful sword energy.

If sword light can injure a martial artist of the intermediate level, then sword energy can kill a martial artist of the intermediate level!
