191: Chapter 187 Intermediate Foundation Building_1 191: Chapter 187 Intermediate Foundation Building_1 Afternoon.

In the hotel room.

Lu Chuan was surrounded by swirling Spiritual Power, forming a vortex of energy.

If it hadn’t been for the protective enchantments previously placed in the room, the force of the Spiritual Power vortex would have likely destroyed the place.

After a long while, the Spiritual Power vortex completely merged into Lu Chuan’s body.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and a powerful aura emerged, signifying his successful breakthrough to the Intermediate Foundation Building stage.

Sigh…

After exhaling a breath, Lu Chuan summoned a stream of Spiritual Power, feeling the immense force it contained, and an excited smile couldn’t help but spread across his face.

“Now, even if I encounter a Transcendent Realm Level 6 expert, I have no fear.

With the suppression of Spiritual Power over Inner Strength, even if I face the combined efforts of three Transcendent Realm Level 6 experts, I am confident of a sure victory,” he said.

The Martial Path may be about accumulating experience and power over time, becoming stronger later on, but in comparison to cultivation, it still operates on a completely different level, which is why Lu Chuan could utterly dominate Martial Artists of the same realm.

And this domination wasn’t just in terms of power, but in all aspects.

Not only had his power increased substantially after reaching the Intermediate Foundation Building stage, but Lu Chuan’s Divine Sense had also strengthened by more than double.

Now, his Divine Sense could cover an area of hundreds of meters in radius, perceiving everything within that range clearly.

Of course, that’s secondary.

The most important thing is that with the increased strength of his Divine Sense, Lu Chuan could now simultaneously wield two flying swords from his Sword Nourishing Gourd.

This also meant that he could, in silence, instantly kill two Transcendent Realm Level 9 experts.

Of course, doing so would still leave Lu Chuan in a weakened state.

But if Lu Chuan only used one flying sword, it would merely consume some of his Divine Sense, without affecting subsequent battles.

This greatly enhanced his survival capabilities in extreme situations.

“After breaking through to the Intermediate Foundation Building stage, I don’t have to worry too much about the Xu family causing me trouble anymore,” he said.

To Lu Chuan’s knowledge, the strongest member of the Xu family was Xu Yuan’s elder brother, who had reached the power of Transcendent Realm Level 7.

Rumor had it that this man was skilled in sorcery, enigmatic and terrifying, and was a pillar of the Xu family.

Xu Yuan also had a second and third brother, whose strengths were Transcendent Realm Levels 6 and 5 respectively, considered top experts in the martial arts world.

Similarly, the Han family head, Han Chunsheng, also possessed the strength of Transcendent Realm Level 7, and there were two patrons within the family at Transcendent Realm Level 6.

In terms of both business strength and combat power, the two families were evenly matched, hence the long years of strife.

That the highest combat power of both families was at Transcendent Realm Level 7 didn’t mean their strength was lacking.

On the contrary, in the martial arts world, Transcendent Realm Level 7 was already considered among the top experts.

Within the Transcendent Realm, Levels 1 to 6 are considered one stage, while Levels 7 to 9 constitute another stage.

The jump from Transcendent Realm Level 6 to Level 7 is a watershed; despite only a one-level difference, the disparity in strength is enormous.

Upon reaching Transcendent Realm Level 7, one’s insight into the world vastly increases, and the power of Inner Strength that can be unleashed undergoes a qualitative change, which is why the martial arts world refers to those between Transcendent Realm Levels 7 and 9 as high-tier Martial Artists.

Similarly, although high-tier Martial Artists are powerful, reaching such levels becomes increasingly difficult.

Therefore, after reaching Transcendent Realm Level 7, the number of Martial Artists drastically decreases—on average, only one in thirty at Transcendent Realm Level 6 can make the breakthrough to Level 7.

Thus, it was no surprise that the two great powers of the provincial city, the Han and Xu families, had a maximum combat power of only Transcendent Realm Level 7.

After all, this was a height that the vast majority of Martial Artists could not reach in a lifetime.

Facing a Transcendent Realm Level 7 expert now, Lu Chuan would still have to beat a hasty retreat, having no chance of winning.

But Cultivators have an innate advantage, and as long as he could break through to the Advanced Foundation Building stage, let alone Transcendent Realm Level 7, even Transcendent Realm Levels 8 or 9 wouldn’t be a concern anymore.

Not to mention, he also had the Sword Nourishing Gourd as a trump card.

Without further thought, Lu Chuan got up, left the room, and went to the front desk to check out.

He planned to return to the Han family and stay for another two days, to observe the situation there.

If there were no major issues, he would cast the Forgetfulness Curse on Han Qingci, and then head back to Cloud City.

He hadn’t gone far from the hotel when several figures blocked his path, the leader among them was Zhong Ling’er.

Zhong Ling’er glared at Lu Chuan with a furious gaze, hands on her hips, and said, “Stinky man, you caused me to not sleep at all last night.

Apologize to me right now!”

Lu Chuan gave her a speechless glance and said, “What does your inability to sleep have to do with me, you’re crazy.”

Having said that, he went to walk away.

Zhong Ling’er became even more irritated seeing Lu Chuan’s attitude, quickly ran in front of him, and yelled, “You arrogant and shameless man, I demand an apology from you!”

Lu Chuan scoffed, “Dream on.”

Zhong Ling’er, furious, called out, “Number One, Number Two!”

The two hulking men who had been following her immediately stepped forward, glaring at Lu Chuan angrily.

Lu Chuan noticed the aura of the two men, raising his eyebrows.

“I’ll have you know, I’ve figured out all about you.

You’re just a little scoundrel at Transcendent Realm Level 3, but Number One and Number Two here are real Transcendent Realm Level 5 experts!”

“If you kneel down and apologize right now, and admit that men are the filthiest creatures in this world, I’ll forgive you.

Otherwise, I’ll have Number One and Number Two beat you until you regret being born!”

Zhong Ling’er stood with her head held high, looking down on Lu Chuan as if he were some lower life form, convinced that he would cower in the face of two Transcendent Realm Level 5 experts.
