Dominating Martial King
Chapter 120 - 120 117 I Got Stronger Again

120: Chapter 117 I Got Stronger Again 120: Chapter 117 I Got Stronger Again When Chu Xisheng emerged from the valley path, his eyes burst into fireworks.

His Martial Arts Points had surged to 41 in that very moment.

Chu Xisheng was invigorated, and without hesitation, he clicked on ‘Extreme Wind Trace’ on the virtual screen with his thoughts, using 30 Martial Arts Points to integrate the extreme move into his Chasing Wind Saber Technique.

The power of this extreme move was very strong and its sword speed was incredibly fast.

It was at least twice as fast as his current ’empty wind’ move!

The strength was also astonishing, enough to cut through metal and stone.

Only the beginning was still too obvious, requiring a certain amount of time to regulate True Yuan and build up momentum.

So, even if Chu Xisheng mastered this move, a momentary flaw would still appear before he struck.

Just like when Zhuang Hongfei used the ‘Heavy Rain Qiankun’, his upper body would stiffen when releasing the hidden weapon.

This extreme move was fine for bullying the weaker, but against a more skilled opponent, it would be disastrous, leaving an opening for them to strike, killing with a single slash.

Therefore, the best approach was to integrate ‘Wind Trace’ into his own sword techniques.

By optimizing the overall sword path, the shortcomings of ‘Wind Trace’ could be compensated.

When Chu Xisheng chose to exchange, a flood of information poured into his mind, and sections of memory formed out of thin air, reconstructing within his consciousness.

However, the amount of this information and memory was much less compared to when he enhanced Vengeful Blade Intent and Chasing Wind Saber Technique.

Chu Xisheng felt a slight surge in his head and a slight dizziness before recovering quickly.

He closed his eyes and meticulously examined the additional memories in his mind; then his gaze brightened.

This system was truly miraculous; it had perfectly integrated the extreme move ‘Wind Trace’ into his Chasing Wind Saber.

Now, including ’empty wind’ and ‘Wind and Thunder’, he had nine sword techniques that could link with ‘Wind Trace.’

When utilizing these nine sword techniques, he could complete all the preliminary steps of Wind Trace seamlessly.

One could imagine, when his strike ’empty wind’ was expended, it would be followed by a faster ‘Wind Trace’.

Chu Xisheng believed that even ”Shadowless Sword’ Zhuo Baiyun, caught off guard, would have his throat slashed by these two consecutive moves.

His mastery of martial arts was getting higher and higher—

A slight smile curled on Chu Xisheng’s lips, almost unable to suppress his excitement.

Then, with a puzzled look, he gazed at his reputation column.

It still read ‘Eighth Rank — (Superior)’, but the text had turned light red.

While Chu Xisheng watched, two pieces of information appeared in his mind.

—People generally believe your strength has reached ‘Upper Eighth Rank’, and your strength recognition has exceeded expectations.

Please enhance your Primordial Skill soon to unlock higher reputation.

—Your Primordial Skill is insufficient to handle more trust, and your Martial Arts Points have reached the maximum for this stage.

Before your Primordial Skill is promoted, any reputation you gain will only be exchanged for Martial Arts Points at 80% of the rate.

Chu Xisheng’s brow slightly raised.

This was a bit of a loss.

Does this mean, if he doesn’t enhance his cultivation soon, any future reputation he earns can only be exchanged for Martial Arts Points at a rate of 80%?

The key was that his fantasies of an instant rise to fame were thoroughly shattered.

Chu Xisheng had always considered how to take shortcuts.

Since the reputation system depends on people’s recognition of his strength and the spread of his reputation,

if Chu Xisheng found a way to make enough people believe he was a First Grade Expert, wouldn’t he be able to gain a large number of Martial Arts Points and rapidly enhance his cultivation?

Even reaching Third Grade or Fifth Grade would satisfy him, as long as he could manage to prevent the Martial Arts Points from going negative, allowing him to rise swiftly.

However, based on today’s situation, his plan might not be feasible.

The system was also restricted by the ‘Primordial Skill’ grade.

Insufficient Primordial Skill meant he couldn’t convert his reputation into corresponding strength.

Chu Xisheng speculated that if his Nourishing Essence Skill remained unimproved for a long time, would the exchange rate between reputation and Martial Arts Points continue to drop?

Down to 60%, 40%, 10%, or even zero?

This was very likely to happen; he had to be cautious not to trap himself—

“Brother Chu.”

Chu Xisheng’s thoughts were interrupted by Zhou Liangchen’s voice.

When he withdrew his attention from the illusory screen.

He saw Zhou Liangchen standing with his arms crossed, looking thoughtfully at the ground, “Have you felt that these runes are somewhat peculiar?”

Chu Xisheng followed his gaze and then he too furrowed his brows.

Indeed, ever since he had stepped into this square, he had felt that something was amiss here.

This Han white jade Square, along with the stele, was identical in design and structure to the previous two.

It was only the ground here that had a chain of blood-red runes.

These runes, when viewed separately, looked like childish scribbles, twisted, ugly, abstract.

But when combined, they formed a magnificent and mysteriously divine pattern.

This seemed to be a talisman array—

The issue was that Chu Xisheng knew nothing about array and talisman arts, so he could not comprehend its function.

“It is a bit weird; the previous square didn’t have this.”

Chu Xisheng then looked up again towards the ‘kill’ stele and the ‘Divine Turtle Wanderer’ standing atop the stele.

This illusory figure loomed high above the square, stationary and expressionless.

Suddenly, Chu Xisheng had the idea to jump to the top of the stele to examine the ‘Divine Turtle Wanderer.’

But before he could act, he heard a tumultuous wave of voices.

At the forefront were ‘Silver Patterned Tiger’ Lu Chen, ‘White Eyebrow Tiger’ Ying Haobai, ‘Corpse Dog’ Li Manshan, ‘Shadowless Sword’ Zhuo Baiyun, and a large group of hundreds strode out from the Ghost Character Ancient Road.

The team was massive and impressive.

When they caught sight of Chu Xisheng and the group from the Zhou Family, they were momentarily stunned, their faces filled with bewilderment.

Lu Chen was the first to cast an inquiring look at the young sorcerer, Mu Ling.

Hadn’t this person said the Demon Word Path was extremely dangerous, lurking with mutant demon beasts, bloodshed everywhere?

Then how come Chu Xisheng and the Zhou Family members could walk out of the Demon Word Path safely?

Not only did they arrive before this group, but they were also all in good order, with not a single member missing.

Mu Ling was also baffled.

The situation was beyond his expectations.

The ‘Ghost’ Character Path they took was supposed to be the safest and weakest among the four paths, with over four hundred eighty people collaborating to get through.

Even so, they had some casualties, thirteen people lay dead on the road, killed by a Fierce Soul.

Just as the entire field fell into silence.

Another figure emerged from the ‘Divine’ Character Path.

It was none other than Tie Xiu Luo Si Huangquan.

When he saw the scene before him, his eyes too showed surprise.

He possessed the Innate Divine Ability to communicate with spirits and divinate without any Outer Power.

In Si Huangquan’s view, that Demon Character Valley Road was indeed the most dangerous of the four paths.

How did this guy come out of it?

And how did he manage not to lose a single person?

Si Huangquan couldn’t help but tighten his grip on the Twin Blades at his waist.

He felt that this man’s true strength might even surpass his initial estimate.

Indeed, a great expert!

In a different situation, he would definitely test this man’s Sword Tao to see how far it had progressed.

In front of Chu Xisheng, another small firework burst forth.

He paid no heed, scanning the group before him, “I have a question, do the secret realm tokens in your hands still work?”
