Martial World's
Chapter 27 - Exam, Start!.
Lin Ming sighed slowly in relief. He had long since reached the peak of the First Stage of Body Transformation, and was only a step away from reaching the Second Stage. Even without the Golden Deer Pill, it was only a few days before he reached the Second Stage.
The First Stage of Body Transformation was a strength exercise where true essence was mainly concentrated in the muscles, and with the appearance of the Second Stage of Body Transformation, it began to multiply and spread throughout the body. Not only would one's strength increase, but the fortitude of the body would also increase. Although one would not be invincible, it would not be difficult to say that a sword that would easily stab you before would only give you a slight wound. Combat effectiveness will also increase by a small margin.
However, Zhu Yan had only been at the peak of the Third Stage of Body Transformation half a year ago. He had only reached the Second Stage of Body Transformation, and even though it was with the strength of a powerful 'Primal Chaos Formula', compared to Zhu Yan, there was too great a difference between them. And this reduced Zhu Yan's half a year of training. He was a fourth-grade talent, so his training speed was also fast.
Although he had not slept, Lin Ming had just broken through and felt refreshed and not tired or sleepy at all. He immediately ran out and headed towards the Zhou Mountains.
The Great Clarity Pavilion was a few miles away from the swamp where Lin Ming usually practiced. Even running there at extremely high speed, it would take time to burn two sticks of incense to traverse the distance. But now that he had broken through to the Second Stage of Body Transformation, the time it took was less than half. Lin Ming was very happy at this moment.
After he reached his usual spot, Lin Ming threw his backpack on the ground. Inside were ingredients for medicines as well as bandages. The medicine was not cheap; it was all rare and precious medicines. Even the bandages have been soaked in black bone grass juice which gives it an extra healing effect. With this kind of luxurious medicine, he did not have to worry about internal injuries. Lin Ming could enjoy practicing with all his heart.
Lin Ming ate a soul gathering pellet to increase the rate at which he absorbed true essence. Lin Ming began to practice both the 'True Primal Chaos Formula' and the 'Meridian Combat Virtue Chaos'.
In the Sky Spill Continent, among those who practiced martial arts, having the strength of 1000 jin was considered a small achievement. Then martial artists would go through Altering Muscle, Bone Forging, and Pulse Condensation. By the time Body Transformation was completed, the strength of martial artists could amount to 8000 jins, where a small portion were born with divine heavenly powers, their strength could amount to 10,000 jins.
This is the limit of power. Even if one were a houtian master, their strength would not grow; they could only increase their true essence.
Then after reaching the xiantian, including the above level, they would understand true essence, and cultivate the soul. This is considered as the true path of martial arts.
But recorded in the 'Chaotic Virtues Combat Meridian', having the power of 1000 jin was only the beginning. Those who had just entered had to reach 10,000 jin, and those who had little achievement could reach a strength of 100,000 jin. As for the supreme cultivators strength, there was no way to estimate. If they opened the Eight Hidden Heavenly Stem Gates after the Nine Star Palace, the body could borrow power from heaven and earth. Their feet will break mountains; their fists will shatter the heavens. Such a power could not even be described with a power of 100,000 jin, it could only be at least a million jin or so.
When Lin Ming saw this in his memories, he could barely believe it. If it was two or three times stronger than usual then perhaps he might be, after all this was the legacy of countless thousands of years from the Realm of the Gods.
But this difference of a few thousand times was simply too unbelievable. He could recall in his memories that within the sect, the guards who swept through the entrance and the rampaging little children would have the power of several tens of thousands of jin. As for true disciples, their strength would be above 100,000 jins.
The memories were so detailed that Lin Ming was forced to believe them. Even if Marshal Qin Xiao were to be compared, he would not even be able to compare to a simple floor sweeper.
However this kind of strength was very far for Lin Ming, because if it was said that the move from Tempering Marrow to Pulse Condensation was difficult, it was difficult, then the move from Tempering Marrow to opening the Eight Hidden Heavenly Stem Gate and the Nine Star Palace was even more so. Let alone Lin Ming, from his memories he knew that this sect had many disciples trapped at this stage. Compared to the Sky Fortune Kingdom, it could be said to be more difficult than ascending from Houtian to Xiantian.
Lin Ming thought about all of this and took a deep breath. It is too early to consider this possibility. What he had to do now was train the basic ability of the 'Chaotic Virtues Combat Meridian, ' and at least reach the 'Flowing like Silk' strength training stage'.
'Flowing like Silk', where one can punch a tree and leave its skin untouched while turning its insides into pulp!
However the memory of the elder was a bit fuzzy here, Lin Ming had yet to reach this stage and could only try to decipher the secret behind it himself.
…
In the southeast of Sky Fortune City, there was an armed guard force on standby. A young man dressed in the finest silk clothes and with a long sword strapped to his waist stood in the corridor and looked around as if he was waiting for someone.
As time passed, another young man wearing armor and a helmet walked at the end of the hall. He seemed to be a little over twenty years old. Although his stature was not like that of a prince, his steps were calm and his breathing was relaxed; he looked like a master.
The young silk-robed youth looked at this man and smiled happily. He immediately welcomed her, “Sister, you're back. Dad must be happy. He is very satisfied with your success at the border for the last three years.”
The silk-robed youth all smiled. He was the one who had lost 1000 taels of gold to Lin Ming and his name was read upside down, Wang Yigao.
Wang Yigao was very pitiful. Although he had tried to suppress the news and prevent it from spreading, his father still knew about it. Regarding this matter, General Wang was furious.
He was not angry that Wang Yigao made a gambling bet, but he lost. Not only did he lose, but he also lost to a boy at the First Stage of Body Transformation and his name was called in reverse! He's a real shame for the family name.
The two-month detention was hard on Wang Yigao's life. She can't eat meat, she can't go to the brothel, she can't lead her little minions to terrorize others, and had to read military classics and complete schoolwork every day.
Wang Yigao hated these things excitedly, and all of this was because of Lin Ming. He could not swallow this sadness.
But Wang Yigao did not know how to deal with Lin Ming. He had no real strength with the army, nor could he defeat Lin Ming himself. As for that bastard who was his friends, none of them were a match for Lin Ming. Moreover, his father had cut off his wallet so that he did not have the means to hire someone. Simply put, there was nothing he could do for Lin Ming.
To this day so. Her older brother came back and Wang Yigao almost cried. He felt that his chance had finally come; therefore he waited a long time until his brother came so that he could complain.
Wang Yiming looked at the pitiful Wang Yigao. Both are sons of the main family, and have the same father and mother. Of course he understood his sister. He said, "You're waiting for me to discuss the issue of betting you're beating." General Wang had reprimanded and punished Wang Yigao about this, so naturally he was very clear about it.
Wang Yigao looked up, “Big brother is very sensitive to the smallest details, really fierce!…you know now, that boy is too arrogant. First he hit my servant and then cheated on the bet. Not only that, he also insulted our army family..”.
Wang Yiming listened and knew that his sister was shameless and made up irrational explanations. He impatiently said, “Stop that shit. You think I don't know what you want? You want me to take revenge for you? ”
“The male brother is truly an unparalleled hero; caring for that person is like lifting a small finger.
Wang Yiming said, “I'm a dignified military commander, and you want me to help you get rid of some children in the First Stage of Body Transformation. Is this a joke I should laugh at?”
Wang Yigao smiled slightly. “Yes that's a little overrated. One cannot use a cow's knife to kill a chicken. Big brother do you not have four powerful armed guards? Letting them go is also the same.”.
"My father is the captain of Sky Fortune City's armed forces. The throne will be taken down, now is a sensitive time. You want me to use an armed forces bodyguard to make an arrest in the capital of the country? You really want to do this kind of absurd thing? What do you think the outcome is? I thought your two months of confinement wasn't long enough! ” Wang Yiming shouted these words and no longer paid attention to Wang Yigao. With a twist of his heels, he left.
Wang Yigao was left standing there to vent his hatred. He had not expected that even his own brother would so violently reproach him! He clenched his fists and teeth until he trembled. “F *ck! Never have I experienced such injustice in Sky Fortune City. Lin Ming, if I don't cripple you then my last name isn't Wang!”
…
…
The sun rose, set, fifty cloudy days passed quietly….
In the Zhou Mountains, a boy was doing shadowboxing in a swamp. The mountain wind howled, but the sound coming from the young boy's fist covered the mountains.
“Bang!”
As soon as the young man punched the wooden pillar in front of him, a 'peng' rang in the air. Although the wooden pillar had been infused with special medicines to make it more durable, it broke in two with that one fist.
As the punch finished, not even waiting for the dust to land, he swung his legs down and split the wooden pillar in half.
“Although I still cannot understand 'Flow like Silk', I still achieved some small success with the first stage of 'True Primal Chaos Formula' and my Second Stage of Body Transformation has consolidated very well; my strength should be at least 2600 jins.” This young man was Lin Ming. In these fifty days, Lin Ming was constantly training in the mountains. He had unlimited precious medicines and had taken twenty Soul Gathering Pellets. Due to this enormous consumption of gold, Lin Ming had also sold inscription symbols to pay for it.
However, even with so many medicines, Lin Ming was still unable to break through the Third Stage of Body Transformation, Viscera Training. 'The 'Chaotic Virtues Combat Meridian' focused on building a solid foundation; it was not something where one hurriedly progressed.
“It's fifty days. Tomorrow will be the entrance examination of the Seven Profound Martial House. I shouldn't have any problems in passing. ” Lin Ming said as he picked up his clothes from a large rock. He immediately took a bath in the river.
Under the shining sunlight, Lin Ming's muscles were symmetrically dense. The light made his skin sparkle with luster, and it was filled with aesthetic power. He was like a lithe cheetah at the peak of his strength. Just from looking back on this, it was hard to believe that this was the physique and soul of a fifteen year old boy.
After washing himself, Lin Ming put on his clothes and left the mountain. He launched himself quickly like an eagle chasing a rabbit, his speed was like a flash of light, and within a few breaths he disappeared into the boundless forest.
