Chapter 135: Chapter 110: The Martial Saint Tag’s Attributes

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

When the final move was exchanged, the three of them withdrew their stances and, by unspoken agreement, ended the sparring session.

At that moment...

The already-exhausted Xia Shuran’s legs gave way, and she stumbled, collapsing to the ground.

Her cultivation was the lowest; she could only keep up with the other two by circulating her Qi Blood at full power for the entire duration.

An hour of continuous, high-intensity combat had completely drained her stamina. Soaked in sweat, she sat collapsed on the ground, panting heavily.

In contrast, Gu Qing and Xia Wuyuan remained standing right where they were, their postures tall and straight.

Their cultivation levels were far beyond Xia Shuran’s.

The fight just now had been nothing more than a light sparring session for them, holding back their true strength.

It had no intensity to speak of and was no burden at all.

As a result, neither of them had a single drop of sweat on them, and their breathing was as steady as ever.

Gu Qing composed himself and glanced at his junior, collapsed and exhausted on the ground.

Then, he looked away, focusing on the text that appeared before his eyes.

[You have used Ancient Martial Arts to battle with your friend Xia Shuran for over an hour.]

[Martial Arts Techniques +1]

[True Martial Arts Dao +1]

[Accumulating 100 points of True Martial Arts Dao will unlock the Attribute: Martial Soul Dharma Aspect.]

[Current Points: 1]

’My relationship with her has upgraded from classmate to friend.’

’Martial Arts Techniques hasn’t changed.’

’Physical Strength has been replaced by True Martial Arts Dao.’

’The unlockable Attribute has also changed from Muscle Knots to Martial Soul Dharma Aspect.’

’Speaking of which, is the ’Dharma Aspect’ in Martial Soul Dharma Aspect the same as the one in the Dharma Form ability?’

’If it is, that would be badass.’

’In the future, during a battle, I could just activate my Martial Soul Dharma Aspect with a single thought. A massive, illusory figure that blots out the sun would materialize behind me. It would probably scare my opponent so bad they’d piss themselves!’

Gu Qing read the text messages word by word, his heart pounding with excitement.

But after a moment, he calmed down and dismissed the text with a thought.

Instead, he began to carefully sense the changes in his own body.

After carefully sensing for a moment, Gu Qing was thrilled to discover that his Physical Strength had increased significantly.

To be more precise, his Qi Blood Strength had increased a great deal.

By calming his mind and focusing inward, he could clearly feel his Qi Blood had become exceptionally active and hot.

’Does this mean that True Martial Arts Dao can enhance one’s Physical Strength and boost Qi Blood Strength?’

Just as Gu Qing was lost in thought...

Xia Wuyuan, standing to the side, seemed to have sensed something.

His brow suddenly furrowed. He whipped his head around to look at Gu Qing, his face filled with utter disbelief.

’What in the world?!’

’How could this kid comprehend True Martial Arts Dao from a perfectly ordinary sparring session?’

’But how is that possible?!’

’You have to understand, even someone with outstanding talent would have to train bitterly for a year just to have a chance of reaching the threshold.’

’Even a peerless genius the likes of which is born only once a century, such as myself, took nearly a month of practice to grasp the first wisp of True Martial Arts Dao.’

’But this kid... he comprehended True Martial Arts Dao after sparring for only an hour?’

’It’s simply preposterous...’

As Xia Wuyuan mulled it over, he couldn’t help but begin to question his entire existence.

However, his doubt lasted only a few seconds before it turned into excitement and elation.

’Oh, Little Shuran, you’ve truly brought your ancestor a magnificent gift.’

’My cultivation has been stagnant for many years. I needed a peerless Martial Dao genius with supreme comprehension to forge a new way forward on this path that seemed to have reached its end, to help your old ancestor achieve a breakthrough.’

’And you, girl, with one simple act, have found the peerless Martial Dao genius your ancestor has been desperately searching for.’

’You truly are your ancestor’s lucky charm!’

Xia Wuyuan suppressed the excitement in his heart, his eyes locked on Gu Qing, his voice trembling slightly. "Good lad. You actually comprehended the True Martial Arts Dao!"

’I only just obtained a trace of the True Martial Arts Dao, and this Xia Family ancestor already sensed it?’

Gu Qing’s thoughts stirred, and he replied, "I just had a moment of fortunate insight."

"Good, good, good! A fine insight indeed!"

Xia Wuyuan’s eyes shone as he nodded repeatedly, his esteem for Gu Qing growing by the second.

After a moment of thought, he smiled and said, "Since you’re in the zone, we should strike while the iron is hot. Let’s have another round to continue honing our joint technique."

"Let’s do it!"

Gu Qing agreed without a second thought.

Naturally, he wasn’t going to pass up a free opportunity to grind his Attributes.

It was just tough on his junior, Xia Shuran. She was so exhausted her legs were about to give out, yet she had to get up and continue practicing.
