Chapter 145 - 113: Martial God

Chapter 145: Chapter 113: Martial God

The moment that line of text popped up.

His Biological Level completed its evolution, and his entire body—bones, blood, and flesh—simultaneously underwent a new transformation.

Gu Qing raised his hand and clenched his fist, clearly feeling the power inside him surge dramatically.

His every movement became increasingly steady and solid.

The True Martial Arts Dao merged completely with his blood and qi, circulating smoothly and without obstruction.

After a brief moment of taking it all in,

Gu Qing stopped moving, closed his eyes to regulate his breathing, and quickly stabilized his Biological Level, which had just evolved to Tier Nine.

In just a few moments,

the surging aura around him receded, making him look no different than he did before the evolution.

But an expert would be able to tell with a single glance that his strength was now on a completely different level.

Xia Wuyuan, who had been watching casually from the side, suddenly shot to his feet upon sensing the fluctuations of a Biological Level breakthrough, his eyes filled with shock.

For a Martial Artist to advance from Tier Eight to Tier Nine...

...those with poor talent would be stuck for a lifetime.

Even the most talented would be held back for at least a year or two.

But for Gu Qing, it was as simple as drinking water or eating a meal.

After just a couple of hours of practice in the morning and a couple in the afternoon, his Cultivation Realm had actually broken through all the way from the entry-level of Tier Eight to the entry-level of Tier Nine.

Xia Wuyuan had lived for several hundred years and had seen countless top-tier Martial Artists of extraordinary talent, but he had never seen anyone break through so quickly.

Gu Qing’s breakthrough speed completely shattered his understanding of the Martial Dao.

Not far away,

Xia Shuran, who was slumped on the ground in exhaustion, also noticed that the aura around Gu Qing had become much more formidable, and her heart filled with amazement.

’Senior got stronger again.’

’His talent for the Martial Dao is incredible. No wonder the Ancestor thinks so highly of him.’

’The Ancestor is usually so stoic in front of me, unfazed by anything, but ever since he met Senior, I’ve lost count of how many times he’s looked shocked...’

Xia Shuran looked up toward Xia Wuyuan.

Seeing her ancestor’s face filled with shock, she felt a sense of shared honor.

As for Gu Qing, the man of the hour, he slowly opened his eyes, his expression calm.

The joy of his evolution didn’t make him lose his composure; there was just a slight thrill in his heart.

After all, he had already guessed that he would very likely evolve this afternoon.

Xia Wuyuan strode forward, circled Gu Qing several times to size him up, and stroked his white beard, exclaiming repeatedly, his voice filled with excitement and disbelief. "Good heavens, young man! In just half a day, you’ve grasped the True Martial Arts Dao multiple times."

"And your Cultivation Realm broke all the way through from the entry-level of Tier Eight to the entry-level of Tier Nine."

"I have lived for hundreds of years, but today is the day I’ve truly witnessed what a peerless genius looks like."

"It truly leaves me shaken."

Xia Wuyuan took a deep breath, the light in his eyes growing brighter, and said with utter conviction, "Young Master Gu, I was being a bit too conservative before. I underestimated your potential in the Martial Dao."

"With your rate of progress, advancing a thousand miles a day, it won’t even take a year for you to awaken your Martial Soul. Your future accomplishments will be limitless."

"You have the definite bearing of a Martial God!"

At this moment, Xia Wuyuan, whose own Cultivation Realm had been stagnant for many years, placed immense hope in Gu Qing, a member of the younger generation.

He firmly believed that in the future, Gu Qing would be able to forge a completely new path in the Martial Dao, one that could help him break through his own bottleneck.

Gu Qing smiled. "The reason this junior was able to break through today is all thanks to Elder Xia’s careful guidance."

Xia Wuyuan waved his hand dismissively. "That’s because your own talent is exceptional. A good student is never the product of their teacher’s instruction."

He then added, "Young Master Gu, now that your Tier Nine foundation is established, you just need to steadily consolidate it. It shouldn’t be long before you can break through to the Celestial Human Realm."

"The Celestial Human Realm..."

Gu Qing murmured, lost in thought.

’The Celestial Human Realm in the Martial Dao must be equivalent to the High-Level in the current Biological Level system.’

’I only practiced for a single day, grinding just four points of True Martial Arts Dao from my little junior’s [Martial Saint] tag, and my Biological Level shot up from the entry-level of Tier Eight all the way to the entry-level of Tier Nine with unstoppable momentum.’

’If I work hard tomorrow and grind six or seven points of True Martial Arts Dao, I might actually be able to evolve into an Advanced Creature.’

At this thought, Gu Qing’s heart couldn’t help but beat a little faster, a trace of excitement and thrill appearing in his eyes.
