60: Chapter 60 Two-Star Grand Martial Master

A few more days passed quickly.

During these past few days, Han Ming did not leave the house, focusing all his efforts on digesting the resources he had obtained from the Luo Family.

Just as he was preparing to finish his Cultivate session.

[Ding, detected that host's disciple Li Xuewei has practiced an Earth Rank High Grade Cultivation Technique — the Mystic Ice Art! Synchronized feedback to host: Earth Rank High Grade Cultivation Technique — the Mystic Ice Art!]

[Ding, detected that host's disciple Li Xuewei has achieved a Breakthrough to 8-star Martial Artist, Blood Qi value increased by 2000 points. Synchronized feedback to host: Blood Qi value + 2000 points.]

It's actually an Earth Rank High Grade Cultivation Technique? And Li Xuewei broke through to an 8-star Martial Artist in just a few short days?

Han Ming's mouth hung open in shock.

She is worthy of being the Ice Empress; her methods are truly extraordinary.

But it wasn't over yet; the System's notification sound continued to ring.

[Ding, detected that host's disciple Gong Shuting has achieved a Breakthrough to Five-star Martial Artist, Blood Qi value increased by 1000 points. Synchronized feedback to host: Blood Qi value + 1000!]

[Ding, detected that host's disciple Lin Fan has achieved a Breakthrough to 7-Star Martial Master, Blood Qi value increased by 10000 points. Synchronized feedback to host: Blood Qi value + 10000!]

"Boom!"

As the System's notification sound faded, the Blood Qi value within Han Ming's body surged violently, and an Aura stronger than that of a 1-Star Great Martial Master began to radiate from him.

He instantly achieved a Breakthrough to 2-Star Great Martial Master.

"The hard work of these past few days has finally paid off; I've finally achieved a Breakthrough to 2-Star Great Martial Master."

Han Ming opened his eyes, a flash of brilliance passing through them.

Over the past few days, he had finished digesting what he had obtained from the Luo Family. Additionally, Lin Fan hadn't been idle either; he had hunted quite a few Tier-3 Exotic Beasts, providing Han Ming with a significant amount of resources in feedback.

He had already reached the Peak of 1-Star Great Martial Master, and after this wave of feedback, it was only natural for Han Ming to achieve a Breakthrough to 2-Star Great Martial Master.

Now, combined with the Profound Rank High Grade Wind-Thunder Palm, even an average 5-star Great Martial Master might not be his match.

For a Martial Artist, Blood Qi value is just the foundation; how much power one can actually exert depends on the Martial Skill practiced and the proficiency in that Martial Skill.

Generally, a Yellow Rank Low Grade Martial Skill practiced to Perfection can only exert at most double the power. For example, if a 1-Star Martial Master has 10,000 points of Blood Qi, the power of an ordinary punch is 20,000 jin.

Then, having practiced a Yellow Rank Low Grade Martial Skill to Perfection, one could exert at most 40,000 jin of power.

Yellow Rank Medium Grade is three times, High Grade is four times, Profound Rank Low Grade is five times; by the same logic, Profound Rank High Grade is seven times.

With Han Ming's current Blood Qi of over 200,000, combined with the Wind-Thunder Palm at Perfection, every move has a power of over 2,800,000 jin.

That is stronger than a 9-star Grand Martial Master who hasn't practiced a Martial Skill.

However, it is impossible for a Martial Artist who has reached the Great Martial Master Realm not to have practiced any Martial Skills, so it can only be said that he is stronger than an ordinary 5-star Great Martial Master.

"System, open the interface!"

As Han Ming's voice fell, a pale blue interface appeared in front of him.

[Host: Han Ming]

[Blood Qi value: 205,105 points]

[Realm: 2-Star Great Martial Master]

[Talent: SS-Rank Profound Ice Spirit Body, SS-Rank Heaven-defying Comprehension]

[Cultivation Technique: Ten Thousand Dao Scripture (Immortal Rank), Mystic Ice Art (Earth Rank High Grade)]

[Martial Skill: Wind Shadow Step (Perfection), Mountain Crushing Palm (Perfection), Wind-Thunder Palm (Perfection), Qi Concealment Art (Perfection), Water Shadow Step (Perfection), Azure Wave Sword Technique (Perfection), Star-Shattering Finger (Perfection)]

[Current Apprentice Slots: 3/4 (Reward of one apprentice slot for every major Realm Breakthrough)]

[Bound Disciples: Lin Fan (7-Star Martial Master), Li Xuewei (8-star Martial Artist), Gong Shuting (Five-star Martial Artist)]

Looking at his interface, Han Ming was very satisfied. The few disciples he had bound were all very qualified "workhorses," working for him every single moment.

Especially Lin Fan, who went out of the city every day to hunt Exotic Beasts, providing him with a significant amount of Cultivation resources in feedback; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to achieve a Breakthrough to 2-Star Great Martial Master so quickly.

And there was Li Xuewei; with Teacher Xue Muhan's guidance, her progress was also incredibly rapid.

She had also provided him with an Earth Rank High Grade ice-attribute Cultivation Technique in feedback. Although he didn't need it, it would be great to leave for his Family.

Moreover, if he were to take it out and sell it, it would be worth at least several billion, enough to purchase the resources he needed to Cultivate until the Martial King Realm.

However, he wouldn't be stupid enough to sell it. Not only would his low strength make him an easy target, but even if Teacher Xue Muhan found out, she certainly wouldn't let it go.

If she asked where this Cultivation Technique came from, how would he explain it?

Could he say it was given by his Master?

One had to know that attribute-based Cultivation Techniques above Earth Rank High Grade were extremely rare, let alone one with an ice attribute.

Every single one had its source, and he would easily be exposed at that time; the losses would outweigh the gains.

Furthermore, such Cultivation Techniques would never circulate in the market. To practice one, you would either have to be a member of a Family or become an apprentice.

Of course, if one were lucky, it might be possible to find one in a Secret Realm, but whether one could keep it was hard to say.

"Hoo..."

Thinking of this, Han Ming let out a long sigh, feeling slightly regretful.

However, looking at the fact that he still had one apprentice slot left, Han Ming frowned again, wondering whether he should bind Lin Fan's younger sister, Lin Xiaoyu, right now.

After all, she only had A-Grade Talent, and having just had her Awakening, the Blood Qi value she could provide him was limited.

Keeping the slot might allow him to encounter a more suitable target to bind at Modu Martial Arts University in a month.

In the end, Han Ming decided to wait until he reached Modu Martial Arts University. Those who could get into Modu Martial Arts University wouldn't have poor talent, and he would have more options then.

Having figured this out, Han Ming stopped worrying about it.

"However, I still need to go get some more Cultivation resources!"

Han Ming stood up and looked in the direction of the Zhang Family, revealing a cold sneer. The Luo Family had already paid the price; how could the Zhang Family be left out?

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Xiaoming, are you up?"

Just as Han Ming was planning how to go to the Zhang Family to collect interest, his door was knocked, and Han Yonghui's voice followed.

"Coming, what's the matter?"

Han Ming got up to open the door and asked, puzzled.

His father rarely came to knock on his door; it was usually his mother who came to wake him up every day.

"If you have time today, go to the martial arts gym."

Han Yonghui looked at Han Ming as he came out, his eyes full of smiles; apparently, it wasn't anything bad.

"Why go to the martial arts gym?"

Han Ming went to the living room, sat down, and asked casually.

His mother had already prepared breakfast for him.

"Isn't it because of you?"

Han Yonghui sat down opposite him, his tone tinged with a bit of helplessness. "The number of students coming to sign up at the martial arts gym these past few days has almost worn down the threshold. Each and every one of them is shouting that they want to pay their respects to the 'Jiangbei's Number One Genius.' As his father, I can't stop them."

Han Ming's mouth twitched. "Jiangbei's Number One Genius? Who gave me that title?"

"Who else could it be? The onlookers outside who love to stir up trouble." Han Yonghui shook his head with a smile. "You, a 19-year-old 1-Star Martial Master with an SS-Rank Mystic Ice Spirit Body who has joined Modu Martial Arts University—aren't you a living signboard?"

Han Ming sighed helplessly. He had wanted to keep a low profile, but his strength wouldn't allow it!

"Alright, I'll go take a look after I finish eating."

Han Ming wolfed down his meal in a few bites and followed his father out the door.

As soon as he stepped out of the Han Family, Han Ming felt the two gazes that had been tracking him before.

Han Ming narrowed his eyes, a trace of murderous intent flashing through them.

"Hmph, I'll let you jump around for two more days. When I finish looting the Zhang Family's shops tonight, I'll send you to Hell."
