I possess boundless talent; even geniuses are no match for me.

......

"If you want to obtain the inheritance of a human powerhouse in the astral realm, the stronger you are, the better."

"Now that you have broken through the third level of cultivation, you should be beginning to experience the difficulty of breaking through the fourth level."

Fang Xiong slowly began to explain.

"It is indeed quite difficult." Chen Yu deeply agreed, even with his talent it would take him about three months.

Fang Xiong smiled and revealed his purpose: "Therefore, I have a unique method that can help you break through to the fourth level of the Limit Break within three months."

"With the fourth level of the Limit Break as a foundation, after you break through to the Blood Exchange Realm, you will be able to defeat martial arts masters at the sixth or even seventh level of the Blood Exchange Realm!"

"If I'm lucky enough, I might even be able to break through to the fifth level and become a master. In the future, I'll probably make a name for myself in the Demon Mountain Starfield. I'll be considered a minor expert after all."

Fang Xiong's tone was full of pride, as he had relied on this method to quickly break through to the fourth level of the Limit Break back then.

Unfortunately, after wasting two years, they still failed to reach the fifth level of the limit-breaking stage.

Now that Chen Yu resembles him from back then, he naturally hopes that his students can make up for this regret.

"Break through to the fourth level of the limit within three months..." Chen Yu suddenly fell silent.

Fang Xiong's words were better left unsaid; he himself could have broken through to the fourth level of the Limit Break within three months.

But thinking about it, even saving an extra month is a good thing.

Fang Xiong assumed Chen Yu was marveling at such an incredible cultivation speed, so he smiled with satisfaction:

"Don't worry, this method is a bit troublesome. It requires you to unite with many martial arts universities to provide you with enough opponents."

"But if you're willing, I'll take care of these things for you!"

Enough competitors?

Chen Yu didn't hear a word Fang Xiong said; his attention was entirely focused on "enough opponents."

What he lacks most right now is the opportunity to challenge masters from all walks of life.

"Teacher, what exactly is the method you're talking about?" Chen Yu immediately became interested.

Aside from the talent itself and various treasures, there is even a path to accelerate the method of breaking through limits.

He's starting to get curious.

Fang Xiong didn't have a riddle teller, so he went straight to the point:

"The path of martial arts is not just about building a strong body, but also about cultivating a martial will."

"For true masters, a steadfast will to fight is sometimes even rarer than martial arts talent."

"Although you haven't yet delved into the martial arts will at your current stage, you can still cultivate an invincible aura by taking the path of invincibility."

"By forcefully promoting the growth of Qi and Blood with an invincible momentum, the time required to break through the fourth level of the limit is greatly reduced."

"Invincible path? Invincible momentum?" This was the first time Chen Yu had heard these two terms, and he was somewhat surprised.

"It sounds impressive, but it's actually quite simple to do." Fang Xiong waved his hand. "It's nothing more than challenging enough experts and geniuses to build up your strength through battle."

"Once your momentum is strong enough and you develop an invincible momentum, you can advance bravely and quickly reach the fourth level of the Breakthrough Realm."

Chen Yu roughly understood.

However, he still had one question: "Teacher Fang, since it's an invincible path and an invincible momentum, what if I lose halfway through?"

"Then all the power I've painstakingly cultivated will have been completely wasted?"

Fang Xiong tilted his head upon hearing this, his tone full of doubt: "Who told you that taking the invincible path means you can't lose?"

"Among the opponents I found for you, there are even Fan Mubai from the capital, Ding Qing from Huaying, and Zhang Yinghong from Shangjiang."

"Not only that, you must fight at least once in all 36 martial arts academies of Chihuang, against any expert with even a little reputation."

"You can't possibly keep winning!"

"...So the invincible path can be lost?" Chen Yu suddenly realized. He had thought that the so-called "invincible" path meant that you could only win and not lose!

"Invincibility doesn't mean invincibility; it all depends on the person," Fang Xiong explained, shaking his head. "Who in this world dares to claim invincibility, who dares to call themselves undefeated?"

"Failure is the mother of success. Even the best player in the All-Star Tournament wouldn't dare say they've never been defeated in their entire career."

"Bending your legs is to jump higher, and lying in wait is to become a dragon one day."

"As long as you get up one more time than you fall down, you've never truly failed."

When he spoke of these things, Fang Xiong's usual laziness vanished, and his tone was filled with an absolute confidence that commanded respect.

"Invincible does not mean invincible... I see." Chen Yu finally understood.

Has he never lost?

Defeats have been suffered.

He was first defeated by Xiao Feng, then by Wang Qianjun, then by Hao Xi, and even by Zhao Tianyi.

But who is the strongest now?

It's him, Chen Yu!

"Teacher, I want to walk the invincible path." Chen Yu's expression was extremely serious.

It's not just an invincible path.

According to Lao Fang, this would require using a lot of connections to persuade the young geniuses from various martial arts universities to fight him.

Of course, Chen Yu was also able to replicate many high-quality talents during this process.

Who knows, if he takes the invincible path this time, he might also be able to successfully forge his martial arts foundation.

An excellent opportunity.

"Okay, I'll help you contact all parties." Fang Xiong touched his face, somewhat helplessly.

"Although I've fallen on hard times, my reputation still holds some weight on this small piece of land on Crimson Star."

"I'll take this opportunity to use it now, so I won't be unable to use it later."

After confirming that Chen Yu wanted to try the Invincible Path, Fang Xiong did not waste any time and began to teach Chen Yu the second strike of the Blood Thunder Three Slashes.

"The second strike of the Blood Thunder Three Slashes is called—Lightning Strike."

"As the name suggests, it is derived from the lightning of an instant. Compared to the first Thunder Strike, this move is more concealed and can even achieve the effect of silently assassinating the enemy."

"In addition, it's faster and stronger!"

"Of course, it will consume more Qi and Blood. You need to reach the fourth level of the Breakthrough Realm before your total Qi and Blood can barely support the consumption of this attack."

Fang Xiong's vital energy slowly emerged.

Even the slightest leak was enough to make Chen Yu feel suffocated.

"Such powerful qi and blood! Even just a trace of it leaking out gives me a feeling of endless, surging energy, like a galloping horse." Chen Yu was secretly shocked.

He had never seen Fang Xiong make a move in person and was not quite sure how strong Fang Xiong was.

However, even with just a wisp of qi and blood, Chen Yu was certain that Xiang Longyin, who was at the same level, was no match for Fang Xiong.

Moreover, this did not seem to be Fang Xiong's peak period; his cultivation level seemed to have fallen to the level of the initial stage of enlightenment.

"Don't get distracted, watch carefully," Fang Xiong reminded him in a deep voice, and then began to demonstrate the mystery of the Lightning Strike to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu silently kept it in mind.

He definitely won't be able to master it in a short time, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't be able to use it even at the third level of the Breakthrough Realm.

This has nothing to do with the speed of blood and qi recovery, but only with the upper limit of the total amount of blood and qi.

After a long while, Chen Yu, taking advantage of Fang Xiong's presence, asked about the Windwalking Step.

However, Fang Xiong did not answer, but instead asked:

"Are you really going to embark on a second martial art focused on internal energy and blood?"
