135: Chapter 135 The Thousand Illusions Mask

"Hum."

Just as Ye Yunfeng and Nangong Li achieved their Breakthrough, Han Ming's identity badge suddenly vibrated.

Han Ming picked it up and glanced at it, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly; sure enough, the rankings had changed.

At this moment, the final rankings for the month had not yet been finalized; the badge had detected the Breakthroughs of Ye Yunfeng and Nangong Li, and the rankings changed instantly.

Nangong Li became the number one on the freshman leaderboard, a One-Star Martial General with 3rd-layer Fire True Intent.

Ye Yunfeng's ranking also jumped past Wang Peng and Zhou Tianxing, placing him in seventh.

"What? Look quickly, the freshman leaderboard has changed; Nangong Li actually broke through directly to Martial General and is ranked first?"

"How is that possible? What exactly did he do?"

"Look, there's also Ye Yunfeng; he also broke through several minor Realms in a row, reaching 9-Star Martial Ancestor, ranking seventh."

"Could it be that the two of them were unwilling to accept their rankings and consumed some Heaven And Earth Treasure to increase their cultivation?"

Many freshmen were also attracted by the changes in the freshman rankings and began to discuss it in surprise.

"Damn it, what did Nangong Li do?"

Inside a villa, looking at his ranking falling to fourth, Li Tianci smashed the table in front of him with a palm and cursed.

His expression was extremely gloomy.

He had paid such a high price to finally reach second place, and he was even confident that if he went all out, he could defeat Han Ming.

But now, first Han Qingyue, and then Nangong Li, one after another, had squeezed in front of him.

Did he, Li Tianci, not have any Face?

"No, Martial General, it is time for me to break through as well."

Li Tianci stood up abruptly, a trace of madness flashing across his Face.

He changed his clothes, left the school, and went out of Modu Base City.

"Puchi."

Outside Modu Base City, in a valley, Li Tianci's hand transformed into a claw covered in scales, directly piercing through the skull of a Martial General-level exotic beast.

Then he opened his mouth, revealing two rows of non-human teeth, and began to suck on the exotic beast's body.

The exotic beast's corpse shriveled up rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A strange red light emanated from his body, and the scales on his skin flickered in and out of existence.

His aura was also slowly rising, only stopping when it reached the Peak 8-Star Martial Ancestor.

"No, using the essence blood of exotic beasts to Cultivate is still too slow."

Li Tianci suddenly raised his head, blasted the shriveled exotic beast corpse into powder with one palm, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

Han Ming didn't care about his ranking; he glanced at it and put away his badge.

He did not continue to Cultivate, but instead left the school and came to the Han Family again.

"Young Master Han Ming..."

The Han Family was very large, and many collateral disciples or servants bowed when they saw Han Ming entering.

The old master had already announced Han Ming's identity, showing signs of appointing him as the Han Family Young Lord.

"Mm."

Han Ming did not put on any airs; he nodded to them and walked towards the old master's small courtyard.

"Wow, is that Young Master Han Ming? I heard he is the Third Master's grandson, the number one Genius student at Modu Martial Arts University."

"Yes! I heard he even destroyed Li Tianci of the Li Family's Dantian; that is truly satisfying."

"Young Master Han Ming is so approachable! He even nodded and smiled at me just now."

Many people watched Han Ming's back and began to discuss.

They had heard plenty of stories about this Young Master Han Ming within the Han Family.

"Oh? My good great-grandson, you have come!"

In the small courtyard, Martial God Han Qingcang, who was holding a hoe and tilling the soil, saw Han Ming enter and smiled.

He was already a Peak Martial Saint; what he needed was not arduous Cultivation, but to comprehend the nature of heaven and earth.

A Martial King comprehends True Intent; a Martial Emperor's True Intent reaches Perfection and becomes their own Domain; a Martial Venerable needs to sublimate their True Intent and further comprehend Profound Truth.

Breaking through to Martial Saint means comprehending the rules; everything has its own rules.

True Intent and Profound Truth are only superficial manifestations of the rules and are also the foundation for comprehending the rules.

A Divine Venerable is one who condenses the power of rules into a rule seed within the body, reaching the Realm where I am the rule, and the rule is me.

However, condensing a rule seed within the body is not that simple; otherwise, powerhouses like Martial God Han Qingcang, who are at Peak Martial Saint, would not have been stuck at Peak Martial Saint for decades unable to break through.

How powerful are the rules of heaven and earth?

As long as one attempts to condense it within the body, it can instantly cause the body to explode.

Even a Peak Martial Saint cannot do it.

They must grasp that moment of insight and bring the frequency of their Sea of Consciousness infinitely close to the frequency of the power of the rules.

Only by forming a certain resonance effect can they condense a rule seed in the Sea of Consciousness.

Although a Peak Martial Saint has already comprehended a certain rule to the extreme, if the insight frequency of the Sea of Consciousness cannot form a resonance effect with the rules, they dare not force a Breakthrough.

Otherwise, under the backlash of the rules, they would either die or be severely injured.

"Hello, Great-grandfather."

Han Ming arrived in front of Martial God Han Qingcang and bowed respectfully.

"Mm, why have you suddenly come to find your Great-grandfather?"

Martial God Han Qingcang nodded and asked directly.

He knew that Han Ming wouldn't visit without a reason; he must have something to ask of him.

"Great-grandfather, I want to go out for some training, but I don't want to expose my strength and identity, so I wanted to see if you have any treasures here that can disguise my appearance?"

When Han Ming read the original work, a mask that could change one's appearance did indeed appear.

That was a later event, and he did not know where to look for it now.

However, with the influence of the Han Family, asking Martial God Han Qingcang was definitely the right choice.

"Mm, your great-uncle has a Heaven Rank secret treasure in his possession, the thousand illusion mask, which even ordinary Martial Saints cannot see through; I will have him bring it to you."

Hearing this, Martial God Han Qingcang pondered for a moment and said.

Han Ming's true strength was already that of a Martial Emperor, and it was indeed time for him to go out and train.

"Father, are you looking for me?"

Soon, Han Tianlin arrived at the small courtyard, bowed to Martial God Han Qingcang, and then looked at Han Ming.

"Hello, Great-uncle!"

Han Ming also bowed to him.

Although he knew of Han Tianlin's existence, this was his first time meeting him.

He looked somewhat similar to his grandfather, but appeared younger and had the aura only high-ranking figures possess.

Han Tianlin looked Han Ming over a few times, and a satisfied smile appeared on his square Face:

"Good lad, not bad. Your Great-grandfather has mentioned you to me several times, and today I have finally met you."

Martial God Han Qingcang waved his hand: "Bring that thousand illusion mask of yours; you don't need it right now, so it's perfect to give to Han Ming so he can go out and train."

"This, Father, is it too early to let Han Ming go out for training now?"

Han Tianlin hesitated for a moment, looking at Martial God Han Qingcang, and asked confusedly.

It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with the thousand illusion mask, but that Han Ming's strength was currently too low.

8-Star Martial Ancestor might not look weak to ordinary people, but in front of true powerhouses, he was just an ant.

Going out for training was no joke; powerful exotic beasts and people who kill to seize treasures outside the city were everywhere.

Not to mention the Destiny Sect and the Blood Demon Alliance lurking in the shadows, eyeing Genius Martial Artists.

Han Ming was the future of their Han Family's next generation, and he didn't want him to perish outside because of training.

"Rest assured! Han Ming is not as weak as you imagine."

Martial God Han Qingcang glanced at Han Ming indifferently and smiled.

"Boom."

Han Ming knew Martial God Han Qingcang's meaning and directly released the powerful aura of a 3-Star Martial Emperor from within his body.

Instantly, Han Ming's clothes fluttered without wind, and powerful Qi energy circulated around him, with a trace of the power of Profound Truth faintly mixed in.

The reason Han Ming dared to display his strength, besides the fact that the old master already knew and trusted Han Tianlin, was more importantly, he knew that it wouldn't be long before his strength would undergo another huge leap.

He was a 3-Star Martial Emperor now, but it wouldn't be long before he wasn't.

Han Tianlin was also dumbfounded as he felt the aura emanating from Han Ming.

"This... how is this possible? Could, could it actually be a 3-Star Martial Emperor? And with 10% ice and water Profound Truth?"

Where was the calm and composed demeanor of the Han Family head?

At the same time, a stormy sea surged in his heart, unable to calm down for a long time.

How could it be?

A nineteen-year-old 3-Star Martial Emperor who had also comprehended both ice and water Profound Truth—this was simply a Prodigy.

Since the Spiritual Qi of Blue Star recovered several hundred years ago, this has never happened before!

The strongest person in the Great Xia Alliance, the Wuji Divine Venerable, was only just a Martial King at nineteen.

"Good, good, good, our Han Family has finally produced a Qilin; with your talent, you will definitely achieve Divine Venerable within a hundred years."

After the shock, Han Tianlin was filled with ecstasy and said the word "good" three times in a row.

As long as their Han Family produces a Divine Venerable, they can become the top Family in the Great Xia Alliance.

They would also have a place in the Alliance.
