80: Chapter 80 Breakthrough, One-Star Martial Grandmaster

"Han Ming should have arrived at Modu Martial Arts University by now! I wonder if he will run into anyone from the Han Family?"

In the Jiangbei Han Family, Han Tianxiong looked toward the direction of Modu Base City, his expression very complex.

He had left the Magic City Han Family for almost fifty years; he wondered if his father and elder brother were doing well.

They probably think that I, this piece of trash, am already dead!

Recalling the events of that year, ripples stirred in his heart that had long been as calm as an ancient well, and a trace of humiliation and hatred flashed in his eyes.

"Li Beixiong and Gu Qingcheng, you didn't expect this, did you! Because I, this piece of trash, have a good grandson, I also have a day where I can rise up!"

"Just you wait! I will reclaim the humiliation of that year bit by bit."

Feeling the surging Protective Aura within his body and the automatically circulating Ten Thousand Dao Scripture, a cold glint flashed in Han Tianxiong's eyes.

At Modu Martial Arts University, Han Ming sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion in his dormitory cultivation room, his aura surging like a tide.

After returning from the cafeteria, he immediately began his seclusion.

After binding with Ye Yunfeng, the System returned quite a few resources. Added to the apprenticeship gift from Teacher Xue Muhan, and the portion Li Xuewei obtained—which he also received feedback from—it was enough for him to Cultivate for a very long time.

As for Modu Martial Arts University, it was no different from free-range grazing; it simply provided a platform for students, and the level one could Cultivate to depended entirely on oneself.

The Protective Aura of an 8-star Grand Martial Master at the Peak surged through his Meridians like a river. With every circulation of the Ten Thousand Dao Scripture, his blood qi value climbed steadily.

Although the basic spirit-gathering array in the cultivation room was rudimentary, it was better than nothing.

880,000. 890,000.

With a muffled "boom," his blood qi value directly broke through the 900,000 mark. He successfully broke through to a 9-star Grand Martial Master.

However, he did not stop. He took out two grade 5 blood qi pills from his cave heaven space, threw them into his mouth together, and continued to circulate the Ten Thousand Dao Scripture to refine them.

Meanwhile, at the Ye Family. Ye Yunfeng adjusted his state to the best, looked at the Breakthrough pill in his hand, and without further hesitation, put it in his mouth and swallowed it.

As the name suggests, the Breakthrough pill was used to assist a Grand Martial Master in breaking through to a Martial Ancestor.

The hallmark of a Martial Master breaking through to a Grand Martial Master was the transformation of blood qi into Protective Aura, while the key for a Grand Martial Master breaking through to a Martial Ancestor was the transformation of Protective Aura into liquid, converting it into Martial Dao True Essence.

And the place where a Martial Artist stored True Essence was the Dantian.

Therefore, for a Grand Martial Master to break through to a Martial Ancestor, they not only needed sufficient blood qi value to convert Protective Aura into True Essence, but also had to open up the Dantian to store the converted True Essence.

The grade 5 Breakthrough pill was used to assist a Peak Grand Martial Master in opening up the Dantian.

Of course, the size of the Dantian opened by each person was different. The stronger the Talent, the larger the Dantian opened, the more True Essence stored, and the stronger the combat power would surely be.

The Breakthrough pill melted upon entering his throat, and a warm, domineering medicinal power, like scalding magma, surged down his throat into his Meridians.

Wherever the medicinal power passed, his Meridians felt slightly hot, as if being stretched and widened by an invisible force.

"It's here!" Ye Yunfeng gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength to circulate the Heaven Wind Thunder Formula.

His Wind-Thunder Spirit Body was stimulated to the limit at this moment. Silver-green light shone from within his body, and the defensive formation patterns of the cultivation secret room sensed this power and automatically lit up.

The medicinal power of the Breakthrough pill surged in his Meridians like an invisible awl, fiercely stabbing toward the Void Realm at the location of his Dantian.

"Boom!" A muffled roar came from within his body.

Ye Yunfeng felt as if something had been broken in his lower abdomen. A void space was slowly opened up under the dual impact of the medicinal power and Protective Aura.

That space was only the size of a grain of rice at first, but as more and more Protective Aura poured in, it began to expand rapidly. Fist-sized. Bowl-sized. Soccer ball-sized!

When the medicinal power was completely exhausted and the conversion of Protective Aura was completed, Ye Yunfeng's Dantian space stabilized at the size of a washbasin.

Inside the Dantian, wisps of silver-green True Essence flowed like clouds and mist, emitting powerful fluctuations far exceeding those of Protective Aura.

"A washbasin-sized Dantian!" Ye Yunfeng opened his eyes, a flash of joy in them.

The Dantian just opened by an ordinary Martial Ancestor was only about the size of a bowl; he had a washbasin-sized one right after opening it, which already surpassed ninety-nine percent of people.

"Han Ming, just you wait! During the freshman ranking, I will definitely defeat you."

Ye Yunfeng stood up, his eyes filled with confident Battle Intent.

[Ding, detected that the host's disciple Ye Yunfeng has consumed a grade 5 Breakthrough pill, successfully opened his Dantian, and broken through to a 1-star Martial Ancestor! Blood qi value increased by 100,000 points!]

[Ding, synchronized feedback for the host: blood qi value +100,000 points.]

Just when Ye Yunfeng broke through, Han Ming, who was cultivating in his dormitory cultivation room, simultaneously received feedback from the System.

"Boom!" As the System prompt fell, a massive force of blood qi emerged out of thin air within his body.

His blood qi value was also skyrocketing. 920,000... 930,000... 950,000... 990,000...

"Boom!" It quickly broke through the one million mark, and all the blood qi force turned into a torrent of Protective Aura, gathering crazily toward Han Ming's Dantian.

Han Ming only felt as if a star was condensing in his lower abdomen, becoming brighter and hotter.

"Open for me!" He gave a low shout, pushing the Ten Thousand Dao Scripture to the limit. The dominance of the Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique was fully displayed at this moment. That torrent of Protective Aura turned into an invisible axe that could split the heavens, slashing fiercely toward the Void Realm.

"Boom!" An earth-shattering roar exploded within his body. The Dantian was opened.

At first, it was only a light spot the size of a grain of rice, but the next instant, the golden Protective Aura condensed by the Ten Thousand Dao Scripture poured into it like floodwater from a breached dam. The light spot expanded outward at a speed visible to the naked eye. Bowl-sized. Washbasin-sized. Water vat-sized!

Ye Yunfeng had exhausted all his medicinal power to open up a washbasin-sized Dantian, but Han Ming surpassed it in just a single breath.

Inside the Dantian, colorful True Essence flowed, shimmering with brilliance.

Han Ming opened his eyes, lightning and ice light intertwined in them. He clenched his fist, feeling the vast, sea-like True Essence in his Dantian, and a satisfied smile curled at the corners of his mouth. Now, he was more than ten times stronger than before the Breakthrough.

"The Dantian just opened, and it's already the size of a water vat?"

Observing his Dantian with his mind, Han Ming was also very surprised; he had to know, he had read the original novel.

Generally, a 1-star Martial Ancestor's Dantian is only the size of a fist when just opened, and many 9-star Martial Ancestors, even after nine transformations of their Dantian, wouldn't be as big as his!

A soccer ball-sized Dantian is already considered a Genius. And in the original novel, when Lin Fan broke through to Martial Ancestor, his Dantian was only the size of a washbasin; he was now more than ten times larger than him.

However, thinking of his current Talent and the Cultivation Technique he was practicing, he was relieved.

"System, open the panel."

[Host: Han Ming] [Blood qi value: 1,085,000 points] [Realm: 1-star Martial Ancestor] [Talent: SS-Rank Profound Ice Spirit Body, SS-Rank Wind-Thunder Spirit Body, SS-Rank Heaven-defying Comprehension] [True Intent: Wind, Thunder True Intent (Level 3), Ice True Intent (Level 1)] [Cultivation Technique: Ten Thousand Dao Scripture (Immortal Rank)] [Current Apprenticeship Quota: 4/5] [Bound Disciples: Lin Fan (3-star Grand Martial Master), Li Xuewei (2-Star Great Martial Master), Gong Shuting (3-star Martial Master), Ye Yunfeng (1-star Martial Ancestor)]

Looking at his panel, Han Ming revealed a satisfied smile; he had finally broken through to Martial Ancestor.

Among this batch of freshmen, he should be in the strongest tier!

You have to know, this batch of freshmen was full of Geniuses; there were three with SSS-grade Talent alone, not to mention those with SS and S-grade Talent.

Moreover, disciples like Lin Fan, Li Xuewei, and Gong Shuting had all broken through a small Realm.

Just now, when he broke through, he also received the System's prompt and feedback. It was just that he was focused on the Breakthrough and had no mind to pay attention to it.

"Hum..." Just at this moment, the identity badge hanging at his waist vibrated.

"What's going on?" Han Ming picked up the identity badge in confusion. It was the first time he had encountered the badge vibrating; he had no idea it had this function before.

When he saw the content clearly, his eyes lit up, and he muttered to himself: "Has the freshman monthly ranking started?"
