Dominating Martial King
Chapter 359 - 359 223 Divine Knowledge Seeking Subscriptions_2

359: Chapter 223: Divine Knowledge (Seeking Subscriptions)_2 359: Chapter 223: Divine Knowledge (Seeking Subscriptions)_2 Since the first day of March, Chu Xisheng had fought twenty-eight battles.

Along the way, nearly every arranged fight attracted betting from Jianghu forces.

In the following competitions, in Fei’er State, many people acknowledged his strength, convinced that only those three sabers in Capital City could contend with him.

But in Wo and Ning States, because of Chu Xisheng, Martial Cultivators had lost more than a million Silver Coins.

Some of those people seemed to have developed a grudge against him, following him all the way from Tianling County to the Capital City.

Fortunately, although these people harbored enemy intentions, they had no plans to act on them.

They adhered very much to the rules of Jianghu.

Otherwise, Chu Xisheng and his companions might not have made it out of Wo State without being besieged by these people on the river.

However, the presence of these followers troubled several stewards and servants of the Zuo Family.

They had spent several days without sleep, constantly monitoring the movements on both banks, always on high alert.

They feared these people, having lost too much, might resort to desperate measures, or that an assassin could slip in among them, plotting to strike at the official ship.

Chu Xisheng also found this troublesome.

He guessed that if there were indeed assassins hired by the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice, these Jianghu travellers and young heroes might kick him while he was down, secretly aiding these assassins in their actions.

This was a mixed blessing—public attention meant they no longer had to worry about the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice mobilizing official forces.

Yet at the same time, they had to remain intensely vigilant during this ‘send-off’ by thousands of people.

Today, Chu Xisheng unusually did not practice the ‘Nine Refinements of Extreme Essence Purple Gold Body’.

After completing his Nourishing Essence Skill, he briefly practiced the Chasing Wind Saber and Chasing Lightning Finger, then ceased his cultivation.

At this time, Qianqian was also practicing her sword skills on the stern deck.

She seemed to be wholeheartedly practicing, but her gaze constantly sought Chu Xisheng.

When she noticed that Chu Xisheng had stopped his practice of the Nine Refinements of Extreme Essence Purple Gold Body today, her brows immediately furrowed.

Was this guy conserving his energy for the upcoming fights, or had he used up all his Fourth Transition Golden Body Pills?

For some reason, deep down, Qianqian felt a sense of relief.

It’s just as well he doesn’t practice—

Chu Xisheng was already a Vice Hundred Households at the Police Pool of Blood; they needed to control him, but they didn’t necessarily have to use such extreme methods.

Perhaps sincerity could win over his heart.

Qianqian then shook her head vigorously, discarding these unrealistic thoughts.

Did she not already understand what kind of person Chu Xisheng was?

However many concessions the Police Pool of Blood made, Chu Xisheng would take full advantage and then leave without hesitation.

Cao Xuan was right, only the ‘Nine Refinements of Extreme Essence Purple Gold Body’ could leash him.

Unaware of Qianqian’s internal struggle, Chu Xisheng was casually chatting and discussing with Du Yunlai, who was fishing by the ship’s railing.

“Today I saw you practicing the Chasing Wind Saber and Chasing Lightning Finger, and you were starting to achieve ‘Integrating Martial Intent’.

Your Wind and Thunder Martial Intent must be nearing the Sixth Layer, right?

Xisheng, your progress has been impressive these past few days, it’s astonishing.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Xisheng’s lips slightly curled up, “Indeed, I’ve recently had some breakthroughs, significant progress.

I should reach the Sixth Layer of Wind and Thunder Martial Intent in the next couple of days.”

Once ‘Integrating Martial Intent’ was completed, incorporating genuine martial intent into his Martial Arts, his sword speed could increase by another twenty percent.

This was actually the merit of the Sixth Rank of the ‘Supreme Divine Communication,’ which greatly enhanced his comprehension.

Upon hearing this, Du Yunlai turned to glance at Chu Xisheng, his eyes filled with admiration and envy.

“Little Chu, do you know why the major Sects choose disciples primarily based on ‘comprehension’?”

“I do,” Chu Xisheng replied with a slight smile, “It’s for Bloodline Talent.”

Sects value comprehension because, in the end, it’s all about Bloodline Talent.

“Correct!” Du Yunlai nodded slightly, “We Martial Artists need to awaken more Bloodline Talents and elevate them to higher levels.

To do this, we must diligently practice Martial Arts, raising our Primordial Skill, Martial Arts, and Martial Intent as high as possible.

The cultivation techniques of the major Mystic Sects are designed to develop Bloodline Talents and to erode internal seals.

The more we practice, the higher we advance in our Martial Arts realm, the greater the benefits, and the higher the likelihood of awakening Bloodline Talents.

Even if we start behind those Heavenly Prides, as long as we elevate our Primordial Skill, Martial Arts, and Martial Intent, we can eventually catch up to them.

However, this relies on three things: diligence, wealth, and comprehension.

Everyone has diligence; who among the common people doesn’t want to stand out?

But which commoner has the spare money to practice martial arts non-stop every day?

Where do they get the wealth to buy those expensive elixirs?

And those with high comprehension are far stronger than those with average comprehension.

Little Chu, you now possess all three, and your future prospects are vast.”

As he spoke, his expression suddenly changed, and he jerked his fishing rod, pulling a seabass weighing at least ten pounds from the river onto the deck.

With a slight smile, Du Yunlai said, “Lucky, despite the noise on the river, I still managed to catch a fish.

It looks like tonight’s banquet is settled.”

Chu Xisheng shook his head slightly, “Compared to those true Heavenly Prides, my comprehension still falls far short.

Only with more diligent practice can I hope to catch up to them.”

And then there was wealth—he was far behind in that aspect, too.

Those high-quality elixirs, War Maps, Magic Artifacts—which of them wasn’t incredibly valuable?

Upon hearing this, Du Yunlai’s lips twitched.

He thought to himself, If you call your comprehension low, what does that make me?

But then, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the ‘Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual’ lying at his feet.
