Chapter 112 Breakthrough to Level 7
After a thorough search, Xie Yuan and Ye Kang made a great discovery.
The treasures left over from the auction are all quite good; even if you can't use them, you can still exchange them for some gold and silver.
As for the relics on the corpses, most of the useful ones were destroyed. For example, the Golden Robe Ancestor's brocade robe and Duan Hong's knife were both ruined.
Chongxuzi was also somewhat disappointed, presumably because he had not found any martial arts manuals.
The three of them did not linger any longer and left the market, arriving at a small stable on the edge of the market.
The martial artists who tended the horses had long since disappeared, leaving only a few horses grazing inside.
Xie Yuan and Ye Kang found their own horses, and Chong Xuzi also randomly chose one. The three of them sped off along the canal.
Many martial artists along the way were startled when they saw the three running towards them. They quickly bowed and clasped their hands, trying their best to show goodwill.
After the three left, the martial artists breathed a sigh of relief, their backs already drenched in cold sweat.
"This is terrifying. In this battle, six seventh-rank officials and two sixth-rank officials died..."
"The elder of Jinxiu Pavilion is dead. I wonder if the Xie family will face retaliation?"
"I never expected Xie Yuan to come out of seclusion. That young one must be Xie Jinghong. He truly is a peerless genius. After tonight, the entire martial arts world will probably know the name of Xie Jinghong..."
Many people exclaimed with emotion that Xie Jinghong's name had spread rapidly through word of mouth.
At the same time, several figures suddenly rushed towards the market, kicking up clouds of dust.
The others immediately realized what was happening, and their expressions changed drastically.
"Damn it! They're gone, brothers! What are we waiting for? Let's go loot!"
Someone shouted, and the faces of all the martial artists instantly turned red.
Countless figures rushed towards the market from all directions.
The martial artists went crazy. There was nothing they could do. This entire market was now essentially ownerless. Who knew how many treasures and gold and silver were buried beneath the ruins!
Although Chongxuzi and his group had already looted everything, they couldn't possibly take everything away. Even things they didn't care about were treasures to these ordinary martial artists!
In an instant, countless people scrambled for the spoils, and a second wave of fierce fighting erupted atop the ruins.
……
The next morning.
Three fine horses entered a large mountain area.
Located in the hills between the Grand Canal and Nanjing, this place is surrounded by mountains, where monkeys often howl and birds sing, and it is rarely visited by humans.
Feeling refreshed by the morning dew in the mountains, Ye Kang immediately said, "Let's stay here. I humbly request Third Grandfather and the Taoist Priest to protect me!"
That's right, Ye Kang is going to break through here.
Since he comprehended the Chaos Strike on the mountaintop, Ye Kang has discovered that practicing his skills with the morning dew has a remarkable effect on him.
Therefore, he specifically chose this place, and since there was no one else there, it was very suitable.
Xie Yuan nodded in agreement, and Chong Xuzi added, "This humble Taoist will do his utmost and will not allow outsiders to disturb Your Excellency."
Ye Kang gratefully cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.
After traveling all night, he discovered that this aloof Taoist priest was actually very easy to get along with. Although he appeared detached from worldly affairs, he was actually warm-hearted and somewhat socially awkward, making him someone worth befriending.
Ye Kang quickly climbed to the highest peak, and a gentle breeze caressed his face, bringing a refreshing feeling.
He brought up the system panel. His current comprehension level seemed quite high, but it wasn't actually that high.
Just comprehending the fifth level of the Imperial Supreme Heaven-Reaching Technique requires a significant expenditure of comprehension.
The remaining points are not even enough to cover the basic techniques you just learned when you first started.
"Sigh, I was poor before the breakthrough, and I'm still poor after the breakthrough. Wasn't this breakthrough a waste?"
Ye Kang sighed, stopped thinking about it, and said directly, "System, comprehend the Imperial Supreme Heaven-Reaching Technique!"
【Ding】
[The host has consumed comprehension points to comprehend the fifth level of the Imperial Supreme Heaven-Reaching Technique]
[Congratulations, host, on reaching the seventh rank of the Innate Realm]
……
A surge of insight rushed into Ye Kang's brain, and he involuntarily began to circulate his internal energy. Layers of Imperial True Qi visibly expanded and surged, becoming increasingly refined. Just the Qi swirling around his body contained an incomparably terrifying aura.
In his enlightenment, Ye Kang had become an ambitious emperor. With a single point from his throne, he instantly annihilated three border cities. Wherever his army passed, he slaughtered the barbarians, sealed the wolf's lair, and his deeds were passed down through the ages. The people welcomed him with utmost sincerity...
The Emperor's Martial Arts became increasingly clear, and his realm rose accordingly, successfully breaking through the shackles and stepping into the seventh rank.
True energy surged forth like ocean waves, radiating golden light, while the physical body, aided by the spiritual energy gained during the breakthrough, frantically tempered itself.
The Demon Body Refining Technique automatically appeared, and both physical body and cultivation level advanced simultaneously, stepping into a new stage!
Ye Kang's body involuntarily levitated, achieving a hovering effect without relying on lightness skills, which is the biggest mark of the seventh rank.
At the foot of the mountain, Xie Yuan and Chongxuzi looked up and stared, both with somewhat surprised expressions.
"This kid broke through so quickly! It hasn't even been a quarter of an hour!"
……
Several dozen breaths later, Ye Kang slowly descended and returned to his original position.
He opened his eyes, and an unprecedented feeling of exhilaration filled his entire body.
Upon breaking through to the seventh rank, his combat power increased unprecedentedly. In particular, his physical body was tempered to a new level under the blessing of the Demon Body Refining Technique. Let alone the seventh rank, he might not even be able to break through to the eighth rank of the Innate Realm.
"Awesome! So awesome! System, what else can I learn?"
【Ding】
[The host has been detected to have mastered Vajra Wrath to the Great Perfection. The host may choose whether to lose this martial art and instead receive a blessing to help them master the Immovable Demon Body of the Vidyaraja.]
Ye Kang's eyelids twitched.
This hint appeared when he obtained the Demon Body Manual. At the time, he was quite surprised, never expecting that his first martial art would be related to Yin Bupo's supreme demonic art.
Vajra Wrath is a simplified version of the Vajra Acala form.
Although it is only a second-rate martial art, it already has the prototype of the Mingwang Dharma Image.
The Immovable Demon Body of the Bright King is an enhanced demonized version, and it is a top-grade innate martial art that has never appeared before.
Although it might attract the hatred of a powerful force, what kind of transmigrator would I be if I didn't learn this?
"System, what's the use of bestowing blessings?"
[Blessing can enhance the effects of martial arts and provide buffs, while reducing the comprehension required to learn them. However, please note that the effects of blessing are completely random.]
"..."
Ye Kang pondered for a moment, then made up his mind.
I no longer need the Vajra Wrath, and although it's a pity to lose it, I can exchange it for a blessing, so it's a good use of it.
With tears in his eyes, he chose to "lose".
He then silently closed his eyes: "Farewell, Vajra Wrath, my proudest faith, the death row I remember so vividly..."
【Ding】
[Host loses martial arts: Vajra Wrath]
[The host will be rewarded with 1 Martial Saint's Blessing]
Ye Kang immediately checked the martial arts panel, and sure enough, the Vajra Wrath was gone.
"Since it's possible to reduce the level of understanding required for comprehension, can I comprehend it now?"
Ye Kang suddenly had a bold idea.
