Chapter 107 - 104: Tiger Crossing Hips, Dragon Swinging Tail, The Power of Transforming Energy
Shang Siguo... could he be from Shang Jibei’s family? His father, or perhaps an uncle?
Looking at the astonishing achievements of the top-ranked individual on the Grandmaster List, Jiang Shu felt for the first time that he had been somewhat conservative. To dare charge directly into the den of a Fourth Rank Mutant Beast and steal its young while only in the Hua Jing Realm... He’s truly deserving of first place. Who could dispute it? Who would dare?
He meticulously scanned the Grandmaster List again. Unlike the simplistic Rookie List, the Martial Artist Alliance had clearly put more effort into the Grandmaster List. Every Martial Artist’s achievements were recorded to ensure authenticity.
He took a screenshot, edited a message, and sent it to Xie Feichen with his congratulations. This is indeed a joyful occasion.
For Jiangnan Academy, this meant they had gained a Hua Jing Master as a teacher. The academy’s strength would see a qualitative improvement. For Jiang Shu, Xie Feichen reaching the Hua Jing Realm would also be of tremendous help. His progress in Martial Arts had started to slow down, a frustrating reality.
Previously, in the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, he had an ample supply of Second Rank Mutant Beast meat, which was most effective for boosting Qi Blood Strength. Moreover, while in the Bone Forging Realm, tempering the bones in his limbs had been easiest. Thus, he could feel his rapid progress daily.
But now, in the Martial Arts of Xia Country, his stored Qi Blood Strength had reached its peak. To grow stronger, he had to advance further and reach the Hua Jing Realm.
In the Martial Arts of the Da Jing Dynasty, his Famished Tiger Roar Mountain Strength was still at least two months away from Great Success. Beyond Great Success was Perfection, and beyond Perfection was Break Limit. By this timeline, it would take about half a year for him to break through to the Refining Internal Realm.
Such speed would undoubtedly astound the Martial Artists of Pingling County. Even on Xuanxing, this pace was incredibly astonishing.
After all, the Hua Jing Realm was not the same as the Dark Force Realm. Many Dark Force Martial Artists were stuck at this barrier. Even Xie Feichen had been stuck for half a year before his recent breakthrough.
But this is too slow! Jiang Shu thought. He knew Shang Jibei was likely at a similar realm to his own. Both had reached the limits of a Dark Force Martial Artist’s Qi Blood Strength; with a little more accumulation, they could attempt to break through to the Hua Jing Realm. Moreover, Shang Jibei’s family had someone ranked first on the Grandmaster List. Jiang Shu refused to believe such a barrier could hold Shang Jibei back for half a year!
I didn’t surpass him in the Clear Strength Stage. I didn’t surpass him in the Dark Force Realm. I can’t let him take the lead in the next realm too!
