Ch 80 - Basic Martial Intentions

Originally, when Lin Ming and Zhang Cang made their gambling match, Zhang Cang boasted, and said that if he lost, he would pay 20 true essence stones. Thinking back on this, this really made Liu Mingxiang's heart cry.
Zhang Cang did not have 20 true essence stones on him. Liu Mingxiang also did not carry so many true essence stones. He gently placed Zhang Cang down and ransacked his clothes, and collected what they both had, but still lost five. So he turned around and borrowed from the people around and ended up scavenging 20.
After giving it to Lin Ming, Liu Mingxiang placed Zhang Cang back on his back and left as if he had escaped.
“Lin Ming won, and from start to finish, from the moment he used his palm for this spear move, he had only used his left foot to step on the ground. His right leg did not move. Truly it was the worthy reputation of the 'Iron Bridge Blocking the River', it was unshakable! ” Ta Ku felt a long stick on his back, and his eyes exuded a fighting spirit. Although Lin Ming was still unable to become his opponent now, perhaps the time where he could stand as his match was not too far in the future.
Ling Sen said, “Zhang Guanyu will regret not coming to see this match. After this battle, Lin Ming would draw a high level of attention throughout the entire Sky Fortune Kingdom to himself in the Martial House. If we wait for him to grow up, he will truly become a strong rival. If we are not diligent in training, maybe this young junior disciple will crawl past our heads.”
“Only interesting if there is competition. The competition is always competing with you; I just don't have the confidence. But this Lin Ming, he would be perfect to be my match.”
“It's true he will be my rival in the future.”
"Sister, I find it strange, how could Lin Ming develop so quickly? In the assessment of the last Ten Thousand Killing Array he reached rank 126, which should be because he ate the Crimson Gold Dragon Marrow Pill and the Golden Snake Scarlet Pill and digested its efficacy. But this time, how could his strength increase so dramatically?”
Ling Sen replied, “The meeting of good or bad luck of each person is unclear. If I don't guess wrongly, this Lin Ming should have comprehended a special cultivation state, a martial intent similar to my 'Ashura. Also, the heart of this Lin Ming martial art is above me! It is not strange if he manages to understand martial intent like my 'Ashura.
Ta Ku's complexion changed and exhaled cold air, "He is stronger than 'Ashura' Big Brother?"
Ling Sen's talent was only a lower fourth grade. In the Seven Profound Martial House, there were many other geniuses whose martial talent surpassed him, especially in the Ling Sen generation, which was truly amazing that was full of natural talent. For example, there was Ta Ku, whose talent was only a little of fifth grade, or Zhang Guanyu, who was truly fifth grade talent.
However, regardless of whether it was Ta Ku or Zhang Guanyu, they had been firmly suppressed by Ling Sen!
Most people, including Lin Ming, assumed that Ling Sen had some sort of fortuitous encounter, or that he had eaten some sort of precious raw material, but that was not true. Actually, Ling Sen had comprehended 'Ashura'.
'Ashura' is a special and unique cultivation condition. When a martial artist was cultivating, sometimes they would enter a beautiful and awe-inspiring state, which could be considered a certain kind of ideal 'martial condition', the most famous of which was 'sudden enlightenment'. This state is widely recorded in ancient texts.
Legend has it that three thousand years ago, there was a great elder who sat under the Bodhi tree and meditated for seven days and seven nights. When he woke up, he had broken some shackles of martial arts and had become an immortal Buddha, breaking through the martial void!
Although legends are recorded in ancient texts, no one knows whether they are true or false. But in reality, there were martial artists who could actually enter a certain cultivation state. Although this state did not have something as exaggerated as 'sudden enlightenment', it could greatly increase the cultivation speed of a martial artist. Martial artists who have grasped this state often have martial arts hearts that are superior to others!
Depending on one's martial arts heart, or elusive soul quality, these cultivation conditions would have different conditions. This condition can only be understood as an idea, it cannot be expressed. Many extremely talented individuals, such as Qin Xingxuan, had not managed to understand the state of a particular being.
But Lin Ming, when he had sunk in the Icy Pond Waterfall, he had touched this fleeting state of cultivation. His true essence had revolved of its own accord and had taken a route in his body according to his most basic instincts. This circulation path was almost perfect and several times faster than Lin Ming's own speed. While cultivating under these conditions, Lin Ming had reached the Perfect first layer of the 'True Primal Chaos Formula'.
Of course, even though Lin Ming stumbled into this state, it was because of his formidable martial arts heart. But, not every martial artist who had an incredible heart of martial arts could understand 'martial intent'.
Previously, the only person in the Seven Profound Martial House who had comprehended 'martial intent' was Ling Sen.
'His 'martial intent' is 'Ashura'! Once he entered the 'Ashura' state, Ling Sen's consciousness would awaken to the Ashura battlefield. There, he would experience countless life and death battles. In this battle, he would die many times, and he would also be reborn many times. What was most frightening was that Ling Sen's comprehensive instincts, which he learned from being on the edge of life and death, would be integrated into his soul!
Therefore Ling Sen had an enormous murderous aura. Regardless of whether it was battle instinct talent, he was far above other martial artists at the same cultivation level. In the entire Sky Fortune Kingdom, Ling Sen was invincible in his level, to the point that his actual combat strength approached a martial artist at the Pulse Condensation Period.
Of course, such a thick murderous aura had advantages that were accompanied by losses. Although this aura had brought Ling Sen's combat prowess to a great new level, it had also shattered his feelings and gradually allowed him to become a cold-blooded killing machine. That was why in the Trial of Dreams he had broken through all trials in the blink of an eye, except for the one testing the evil in his heart. In order to break through it, Ling Sen had used most of the time incense, and this was because the killing nature of his heart was too heavy.
It was because Ling Sen's 'Ashura' martial intent was so challenging, that when Ling Sen said that Lin Ming's own cultivation condition might even surpass his 'Ashura', Ta Ku was shocked.
“Don't be too dramatic. Even if it was a person whose heart of martial arts was superior to others, only a select few could understand 'martial intent'. Will this Lin Ming, who is only 15 years old, already be able to comprehend something so ferocious as Big Brother's cultivation condition?”
Ling Sen said, “This is the only explanation. Lin Ming's martial arts heart was much stronger than mine, so his understanding of 'martial intent' might also be stronger than mine. Lin Ming's progress this month was simply too amazingly fast; I think it is because of this special cultivation condition. When it only understood this state of cultivation, its strength would increase by leaps and bounds, but it would stabilize and gradually slow down. ”
“So it's like that. This Lin Ming is getting more and more interesting! He is worth waiting for growing up. I will definitely fight with him then!” As Ta Ku said this, he subconsciously cracked his knuckles.
Ling Sen said, “Only in a few days will it be time for the next assessment of the Ten Thousand Killing Array. This Lin Ming will definitely participate. Want to look around?”
"Good idea. Always cultivating was too boring. Let's take a look at this Lin Ming and see how high he can go.”
The Seven Profound Martial Houses opened the Ten Thousand Killing Array every month. The last time Lin Ming participated was 27 days ago.
Lin Ming would naturally participate in the assessment of the Ten Thousand Killing Array this month. Higher rankings mean more resources.
In the beginning, just some time in the Icy Pond Waterfall had greatly benefited Lin Ming. With the other six main arrays, what kind of overwhelming advantage should they practice within? Lin Ming looked forward to seeing. In particular, Hong Xi had once recommended that he not enter the Thunder Valley, so there must be something special there.
Lin Ming did not know yet, but what had helped him break through to the first layer of the Perfect Primal Chaos True Formula was a cultivation condition known as 'martial intent', a martial intent', what Ling Sen said was in his formative stage.

Sky Fortune City, in the high-end pavilion –
First Taste Pavilion was a restaurant that shared the honor of being one of the top dining venues, along with the Great Clarity Pavilion. At this moment, in a room with elegant furnishings on the second floor, Zhu Yan was having lunch, and opposite of him, wearing a snow-white dress, was Lan Yunyue.
Lan Yunyue ate quietly, the silence in the room created a stiff and awkward atmosphere.
Zhu Yan sipped on the soup made from the flesh of the flood dragon. He placed a small golden threaded bowl on the table and took a snow silk napkin to wipe his mouth. He suddenly asked, "What are you thinking?"
"No. I'm not thinking of anything.” Lan Yunyue hurriedly shook her head. In front of Zhu Yan, he felt as if an invisible pressure was pressing down on him. Between the two of them, it seemed like they were not lovers, but rather an emperor and his concubine. In the presence of the emperor, a concubine would always be cautious and fearful.
Lan Yanyue clearly knew that even if Zhu Yan liked her, she could also leave him. If he wanted to, there would be a number of women rushing to his doorstep and he could choose one of them. This was the difference in their position caused by the difference in their strength and status.
Zhu Yan smiled, and although he looked friendly, there was actually a chill hidden in his eyes. He knew what Lan Yunyue was thinking; today was the day of the gambling match between Zhang Cang and Lin Ming, there was no way Lan Yunyue would not know of it.
He was worried that Lin Ming would be severely injured, and in fact, Zhu Yan had actually seen what Zhang Cang could do in the context of the rules. Zhang Cang would leave a debilitating mark on Lin Ming's body. This was the best way to hinder his martial arts cultivation in the future.
Of course, this is just the beginning. He would deal with Lin Ming step by step. He would destroy his martial arts cultivation, and then let him spend the rest of his life as a cripple.
Zhu Yan played the snow-white porcelain spoon inside the bird nest soup before him while waiting for Zhang Cang to deliver the good news to him. But at that moment, the sound-emitting talisman had yet to be turned on.
