Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill-Chapter 374 - 8 "Beta Tester": Zhu Xiao

Chapter 374 -8 “Beta Tester”: Zhu Xiao

Wang Sheng’s presence was revealed, and the Heavenly Father was frightened away, clearly fearing him to the bone.

After the Heavenly Father left, things went smoothly, with thirty percent of the Qi Fortune Line belonging to the Heavenly Father on Zhu Xiao’s body being severed.

After reaching this limit, Wang Sheng then sent Zhu Xiao out of the Spirit World.

The moment she stepped out, Zhu Xiao sensed the condition of her body, as if the unnaturally placed bottleneck had somewhat shifted.

“Opportunity!”

Zhu Xiao had been waiting for this opportunity for far too long, and upon sensing a chance for progress, she immediately drove herself to improve.

Her path was a new one, different from the Qi Blood Martial Arts, and she began researching her next step after reaching the peak.

She combined the content of her communication with Wang Sheng with the experience of Qi Blood Martial Arts.

She confirmed her next step to focus on the blood!

Endless Blood Qi burst forth, which seemed similar to the power of Wang Sheng’s Blood Qi, but though just starting blood cultivation, it was not weak because in the prior cultivation, Zhu Xiao’s body was passively enhancing the power of her blood.

And now, it specialized!

Wang Sheng stood by Zhu Xiao’s side watching.

Zhu Xiao’s step in cultivation was something he had advised on quite a bit, so he was very clear about what exactly Zhu Xiao was cultivating.

Before reaching the level of a Great Grandmaster, Zhu Xiao’s physical cultivation was holistic.

Thus, Wang Sheng proposed the concept of skin, sinew, bone, flesh, and blood, dividing the human body into roughly five parts to cultivate and strengthen each part individually.

The order of cultivation, the first naturally being the most familiar blood.

Blood is also the basis of human activity, extremely important, and clearly suitable as a foundation. Zhu Xiao herself thought it over and made the same choice.

Her perception was exceptionally strong, feeling that any other choice might lead to accidents. Her path of cultivation relied heavily on her own perception, even without concrete evidence.

Therefore, after breaking through her limitations, Zhu Xiao immediately began her breakthrough—naturally starting with the blood aspect.

The blood underwent a qualitative change, a path similar to what Wang Sheng had learned from Ba Duan Jin, yet with subtle differences.

Both were extremely powerful; during their breakthrough, their Blood Qi was like a proud sun, scorching the earth, capable of exterminating any evil spirits.

The only difference lay in the power contained within the blood. Within Zhu Xiao’s Blood Qi, there was an incredibly powerful Qi Force, and the power of Qi Force had undergone a transformation.

Wang Sheng’s Divine Thought could clearly feel the strength of this power.

Boom!

Accompanied by a resounding sound from the depths, Zhu Xiao completed her transformation, her body with a Blood Qi momentum so formidable it seemed it could suppress everything.

“I’ve broken through!”

She opened her eyes, her gaze sharp, her face alight with joy.

“How is it?”

“Stronger than I imagined, and my path ahead is clearer. Indeed, as you said, choosing blood transformation first was the right call. If I had chosen otherwise, I might not still be truly human; blood is the foundation.”

Zhu Xiao shared her feelings.

A breakthrough is not arbitrary; it requires pattern and progression, step by step. A single error could result in grave issues; this time, she chose correctly.

Wang Sheng, feeling Zhu Xiao’s powerful aura post-breakthrough, said, “Do you want to test your strength?”

It had been a long while since the two of them had sparred.

After this breakthrough, Zhu Xiao’s strength was vast; Wang Sheng wanted to see how she compared to the Heavenly Father.

“Sure!” Zhu Xiao was full of fighting spirit!

This time, Wang Sheng still didn’t use his full strength, only employing his Blood Qi power to mutually confirm and enhance their abilities.

The final result was unsurprising; Wang Sheng still won.

“The technique you just used, it seems to also be Blood Qi power, isn’t it?”

“Yes, the power of Blood Qi is very strong. You might be able to comprehend Divine Skills from it, like this—”

Shocking Dragon!

Blood Qi Divine Ability erupted, the dreadful power as if to pierce through space, causing Zhu Xiao’s expression to change.

“Blood Qi Divine Ability!”

She seemed to have found a new direction; this was something she had never considered before.

“The breakthrough just now didn’t bring me to my limits; there’s still room for improvement!”

Relieving thirty percent of her constraints allowed for significant progress, and clearly, she hadn’t reached her limits; she wanted to keep moving forward.

“Why don’t you try it out? I’ll watch. The enemy from just now might come back.”

Clearly, the Heavenly Father had set his sights on Zhu Xiao, and might well return. He would stay guard again; having been a step slow returning from the Spirit World, in the real world, should the Heavenly Father dare show up, he could make his “collection” of Heavenly Fathers increase by one.

“The sense of crisis from earlier, that must have been the Heavenly Father, right?” Zhu Xiao was also quite aware of the situation.

“Yes, but there’s no need to worry too much. Although the you now still isn’t a match for the Heavenly Father, buying some time is feasible.”

He had already tested Zhu Xiao’s strength.

Zhu Xiao, fresh from her breakthrough, was not a match for the Heavenly Father, but unlike before, she wasn’t entirely without the ability to fight back.

“Buy some time, huh?”

Zhu Xiao understood Wang Sheng’s meaning; as long as she could buy time, Wang Sheng could quickly arrive to handle the Heavenly Father.

With this in mind, she was even keener to progress!

“I’ll go into seclusion, and perhaps see if I can lure the Heavenly Father out!”

Simply severing the Qi Fortune Line drew the Heavenly Father’s attention; what if it were a massive leap in strength?

Perhaps she could indeed attract the Heavenly Father again.

Wang Sheng had no contraries; it was indeed possible.
