High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System

Chapter 377: Chapter 254: A Warning (Double-Length)

Chen Zilu was taken aback when she saw the metal bottle in his hand.

“Extreme Sea Essence Liquid?”

“How come you still have it?” Chen Zilu couldn’t help but ask.

“I get two portions every month,” Jiang Ye said. “So, you don’t need to worry about running out of Extreme Sea Essence Liquid.”

“Every month? Two portions?” Chen Zilu’s eyes widened, somewhat incredulous.

“Yes,” Jiang Ye nodded.

He hadn’t told Chen Zilu about this before, intending to surprise her.

Who knew Chen Zilu would end up giving him a ’surprise’ instead.

“Had I known, I would’ve told her sooner,” Jiang Ye sighed inwardly.

“How did you manage that?” Chen Zilu couldn’t help but inquire.

“Don’t worry about how I did it,” Jiang Ye said. “The point is that I can.”

“…”

Chen Zilu’s expression was somewhat strange.

She knew Jiang Ye certainly had secrets, but she never probed. Yet at this moment, she started to feel a bit curious.

The Extreme Sea Star System opens once every ten years, and over those ten years, only eight bottles of Extreme Sea Essence Liquid can be obtained.

But Jiang Ye?

Getting two portions every month… Across the entire Blue Star Civilization, such a thing had never been heard of, right?

“Anyway.”

“Don’t worry,” Jiang Ye continued. “Don’t mind me.”

“Okay,” Chen Zilu gently nodded.

Jiang Ye placed the metal bottle in his hand on the table. “For Senior Sister.”

Chen Zilu didn’t refuse.

“Buzz!” A flash of light appeared in her hand; a blood-red bark materialized in her palm. This bark had few wrinkles, was crystal-clear, resembling jade in its structure.

“This is the Blood Jade Divine Crystal,” Chen Zilu said. “It’ll help you break through to the Fourth Break.”

“Thank you, Senior Sister.” Jiang Ye didn’t hesitate, reaching out to take it.

The Blood Jade Divine Crystal felt cold to the touch, but soon a soothing warmth spread through his palm.

Anything with the word ’Divine’ is exceptionally remarkable.

This was obviously another extremely precious treasure.

“Senior Sister.” Jiang Ye suddenly asked, “Why didn’t you participate in the Ten School League?”

“No need,” Chen Zilu replied. “For me, breaking through to the Fifth Break is more important.”

“What about the opening of the Star Realm Sea in two months? Will you go?”

“Don’t worry, I have a special ticket.”

“Alright.”

Jiang Ye nodded, smiling. “Isn’t Senior Sister going to ask about my competition results?”

“You probably won the championship easily, didn’t you?” Chen Zilu said as if it was a matter of fact.

“Indeed.” Jiang Ye smiled.

Chen Zilu also smiled. “Seems you’re really the champion now; winning the Ten School Championship is quite valuable.”

“My goal is the Star Wars,” Jiang Ye said.

“Star Wars?”

Chen Zilu was momentarily stunned, then nodded. “Less than a year remains until the next Star Wars, so you should prepare.”

“Senior Sister is likely to participate too, right?” Jiang Ye smiled.

“You want to compete with me?” Chen Zilu glanced at him.

“No.” Jiang Ye smiled. “I want to join you and take down those extraordinaries.”

Chen Zilu was stunned.

She hadn’t anticipated Jiang Ye having such ambition.

A moment passed.

“Okay.” Chen Zilu’s face revealed a beautiful smile. “Then you’d better catch up quickly, otherwise we’ll hardly be on the same battlefield during the Star Wars.”

“A year’s time is enough,” Jiang Ye said confidently, smiling.

“Tch,” Chen Zilu snorted at his confidence. “It’s not just you who can improve; don’t forget that I too will break through.”

“So let’s see who breaks through more quickly?” Jiang Ye laughed.

“No way,” Chen Zilu snorted.

She’d be foolish to compare it’s cultivation speed with this guy—breaking through three realms in a year is downright abnormal.

“Haha, just joking.”

Jiang Ye laughed. “Then I’ll go back to cultivate, working hard to catch up to you.”

“Senior Sister, take care and rest well.”

He noticed Chen Zilu’s pale complexion and realized she needed rest, as she was not in a good state.

“Alright, you go on now,” Chen Zilu nodded.

Jiang Ye said no more and turned to leave.

Chen Zilu watched his departing figure.

Only after Jiang Ye’s silhouette completely faded did she turn back, a thought floating in her peach blossom eyes.

“This guy, can he truly compete against the Extraordinary Talent?”

She had never previously considered this possibility.

But now? As Chen Zilu recalled Jiang Ye’s demonstrated fighting ability, she suddenly felt it might not be impossible after all.

…

Whoosh!

A figure flew out from Star Garden No. 10.

“Bai Gui,” Jiang Ye thought internally, “if the Talent Avatar is damaged, will it exacerbate the symptoms of God-devouring Syndrome?”

“Yes,” Bai Gui nodded.

“Is there a way to repair the Talent Avatar?” Jiang Ye couldn’t help but ask.

Even with ’Broken Mirror Reunited’, the Martial Arts Foundation cannot be restored.

Much less the Talent.

“The damage to the Talent Avatar is essentially damage to the Divine Soul.” Bai Gui explained, “There are actually quite a few ways to repair the Divine Soul.”

“It’s just that the Blue Star Civilization you belong to is very difficult to utilize these methods.” Bai Gui shook his head.

“Is there really no way?” Jiang Ye frowned slightly.

Bai Gui was silent for a moment.

A moment later.

“In the master’s inheritance, there are some Cultivation Techniques that can nourish the Divine Soul.” Bai Gui said, “But those Cultivation Techniques require you to reach the Seventh Break before they can be unlocked.”

“Seventh Break?” Jiang Ye frowned.

He was only at the Third Break; how long would it take to reach the Seventh Break?

The future seemed utterly uncertain.

“Will the damage to the Talent Avatar naturally heal?” Jiang Ye asked unwillingly.

“No.” Bai Gui shook his head, “Either cultivate Divine Soul Techniques, or nourish it with treasure, there is no other option.”

Doesn’t that mean Chen Zilu will endure this near-breaking pain every time she cultivates next?

“Seventh Break.” Jiang Ye made a firm decision.

If this is the only way, then he must quickly reach the breakthrough to alleviate his senior sister’s pain.

“Divine Level Opportunity Land.”

“Two months later in the Star Realm Sea.” Jiang Ye thought to himself, “There must be amazing opportunities, I must seize them.”

The Ancient Star No. 7 is only an Upper B level Opportunity Land.

It has already brought such an improvement to Jiang Ye.

Divine Level Opportunity Land? It surely contains even more amazing treasures.

As he pondered, Jiang Ye had already flown back near the 11th area of Star Garden.

Suddenly.

“Hmm?” Jiang Ye’s expression tightened.

Buzz!

The sky in front of him suddenly darkened.

The firmament abruptly lost its color, as if an invisible giant hand had stripped away all the daylight, ink-black flooded from all sides like a tide.

In just a breath, the entire world seemed to have plunged into bottomless darkness.

Jiang Ye frowned slightly, realizing he had entered some kind of invisible Domain.

The power of this Domain definitely did not come from Tao Bone.

But from——

Extraordinary!

“Jiang Ye.” A voice echoed, and this voice did not come from the heavens and earth, but roared in Jiang Ye’s mind.

This feeling.

It was as if a deity was speaking, immensely grand, each word piercing into the depths of the soul, making one tremble.

Luckily, Jiang Ye’s Martial Arts Will was incredibly strong, completely unafraid of such things.

“Who are you?” Jiang Ye asked.

“You need not know.” The grand voice said, “Stay away from Chen Zilu. This is a warning.”

“A warning?” Jiang Ye’s expression remained calm.

Between heaven and earth.

The wind and clouds suddenly stopped, even the air seemed to freeze.

Only a kind of vast oppression quietly spread, making it hard to breathe, causing the ground to tremble slightly, the surrounding buildings twisting and blurring under this invisible pressure.

In this deathly silence.

“Boom!” A roar like ancient times exploded, not thunder, but more soul-stunning than thunder.

It was the sound of some behemoth tearing through the void.

Immediately afterwards, a vague outline appeared on the dark sky, at first just a shadow across heaven and earth, in the blink of an eye, solidifying at a speed visible to the naked eye.

An enormous dark purple statue.

Its body was incredibly large, face unclear, yet inherently majestic.

“Sigh!” This statue seemed to hold the world, looking down at Jiang Ye, for a moment, it was as if the entire world pressed down on Jiang Ye.

This sense of oppression.

Targeting not only the physical body but also the Divine Soul!

Not only making the knees go weak, but even making one feel awe from the heart, wanting to kneel and worship.

It was as if a deity was showing its might!!

Had it been another Third Break Strong Person or even a Fourth Break Strong Person, they would likely have already knelt on the ground, bowing continuously.

Jiang Ye’s face remained cold, staring icily at the statue.

“Crack~!” That terrifying pressure made his spine groan under the unbearable weight, trying to make him bend down inch by inch.

At this moment.

“Swish!”

The sky black as ink suddenly appeared a vertical line.

As if someone had sliced it open, this vertical line quickly expanded, countless icy cold breaths rushing in crazily.

In an instant.

The entire world seemed to be invaded by ice, even the air froze, only Jiang Ye felt no discomfort.

“Sigh!”

A slender figure appeared, back facing Jiang Ye.

She was barefoot, her white dress flurry in the wind, black hair transforming into snow-white at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Zhou Xingkong.”

“Do you want to die?”

A voice full of coldness and killing intent came, as if ten thousand year ice, making the Proud Sun in the sky instantly dim, seemingly completely frozen.
