203: Chapter 203 Early Stage of the Marquis Level!

Boom!

A sudden explosion rang out!

Everyone looked toward Ye Qing, only to see his entire body erupting with golden light.

Rippp!

Ye Qing's clothes shattered into pieces.

Revealing an upper body with muscles as if carved by knives and axes.

Whoosh!

A golden light covered Ye Qing's entire body.

"My god, look at Ye Qing. He looks like a Vajra right now."

"Why is this happening to him?"

"City Lord Qian, do you know what's going on? We've never seen such a bizarre sight."

...

After a moment, everyone fell silent and looked toward Qian Tu, wanting to hear his opinion.

Qian Tu: "..."

Why are you all looking at me? If you haven't seen it, do you think I have?

This appearance... not only have I never seen it, I'm afraid even King-level Experts like King Fenghai haven't seen it either.

"I haven't seen it either. Let's record it first."

"However, why do I feel like this guy's body is like metal right now? What kind of physical strength is this?"

Zhong Jiaxing observed from the side.

His face was also filled with wonder.

"I felt before that this guy's physical strength was unusual. When I brought him from the Jinling Barrier to the Sucheng Barrier, Marquis Ling Feng told us to take him to the blood pool for tempering. In the end, he almost sucked the blood pool dry."

"He frequently displayed his physical toughness after that."

"Do you think he actually turned into metal?"

"How about you give him a tap and see, City Lord Zhong?"

Beside them, a star of huaxia egged him on.

Zhong Jiaxing: "..."

"Alright, stop messing around. Ye Qing is currently working hard to guide the violent energy. Let's not disturb him."

"If something goes wrong, none of you can take responsibility, and I can't take such a huge responsibility either!"

Qian Tu shouted sternly.

The next moment!

A dark aura erupted from Ye Qing's body.

This!

The crowd, who had already been silenced by Qian Tu's scolding, felt their heads swell with worry seeing the mutation on Ye Qing's body.

Does this look like... Qi Deviation?

"Holy crap, what's with Ye Qing? It was golden light just now, so why did it suddenly turn black like this? It couldn't be Qi Deviation, could it?"

A young man beside them spoke up.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Tu smacked the back of his head.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Qian Tu then walked closer to Ye Qing, observing the situation. "From what I can see, this should also be a Body Refining method. Speaking of which, that golden one earlier was likely a Body Refining method too. It's truly strange; just how many Body Refining techniques has Ye Qing practiced?"

"These Body Refining methods must have tempered Ye Qing's body to be incredibly sturdy. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to absorb two drops of king-level exotic beast essence blood at once."

"By the looks of it, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Seeing Ye Qing like this, Qian Tu breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's wait. Let's wait for him to slowly absorb it."

Meanwhile, Ye Qing was also feeling the majestic power of the king-level exotic beast essence blood.

After removing the violent energy, Ye Qing guided the remaining pure power.

He slammed it fiercely against the next level of shackles!

Boom!

A loud boom echoed from Ye Qing's body.

Then, a massive suction force erupted from his body!

This!

Qian Tu and the others had just relaxed, only for their hearts to leap into their throats again.

They looked at Ye Qing, their eyes filled with shock. What kind of madness was this guy up to now?

What was he trying to do?

The way he was absorbing these two drops of king-level exotic beast essence blood was simply terrifying!

"No, this feeling... it seems like he's making a Breakthrough to the Marquis-level!"

Boom!

That single sentence!

The shock it brought to everyone was even greater than the loud boom from before!

Breaking through to the Marquis-level?!

So fast?

Besides, does a Breakthrough to the Marquis-level really cause such a huge commotion?

"It's truly strange. The commotion from his Breakthrough to the Marquis-level is far too large. When I broke through to the Marquis-level, the commotion was very small."

Feeling the disturbance, Qian Tu was also somewhat puzzled.

He even felt as if the energy within his own body was being stirred by Ye Qing!

The others nearby didn't have much of a say; after all, they were only at the Town General Rank, not Marquis-level, so they didn't know the intricacies of the Breakthrough.

"No, his absorption range is still increasing!"

"When breaking through to the Marquis-level, the body becomes like a vortex, frantically absorbing surrounding energy to fill the void created after entering the Marquis-level."

"For a typical Marquis-level, whether it was me or Li Xian, there wasn't such a huge commotion when entering the Marquis-level. The range Ye Qing is affecting is already terrifying, and it's still expanding!"

Outside.

Feeling the aura inside, the Six-Winged Sky Tiger also suddenly raised its head.

Then, the nearby Guard Army also sensed something was wrong!

"Wait, do you feel that? The energy seems to be draining away!"

"I feel it. Who did something?"

"I don't know! I feel like the attraction is coming from the City Lord's direction."

"I heard that today Ye Qing and a few Stars of Huaxia are absorbing king-level exotic beast essence blood. Is it their doing that caused this situation?"

"Maybe!"

...

Outside.

In the Jiangcheng Barrier.

Everyone also sensed the abnormality.

Old Master Leng's eyes turned cold. "Do you feel it?"

Guan Fei looked up. "Someone is absorbing the energy!"

"Who is breaking through?"

"It looks like it, but who could cause such a huge commotion during a Breakthrough?"

"Could it be that City Lord Qian Tu is about to become a King-level Expert?"

Boom!

That one sentence caused everyone's eyes to widen, hardly believing what they had heard.

Qian Tu is becoming a King-level Expert?

"That's impossible. What are you talking about? It's only been a few days since Qian Tu became a Marquis-level Expert; how could he become a King-level Expert so soon? Impossible, impossible." Old Master Leng waved his hand.

"However, this commotion is indeed not something a normal Breakthrough could create. Let's wait and see; news will surely come out later."

...

To the north, outside the city walls.

In the great river.

At the bottom of the river, a massive dark shadow slowly opened its eyes.

A pair of blood-colored eyes glowed with a bloodthirsty crimson.

It looked toward the river surface, its eyes full of rage and malice!

Whoosh!

A long time later!

The absorption force finally began to slowly dissipate!

By now, Qian Tu and the others felt like they were going numb.

The suction was so powerful!

And it lasted for so long!

They could say they had never seen anything like it!

It was too terrifying!

After the calm returned, Ye Qing looked ahead, opened his eyes, and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid Qi!

Finally, he had broken through!

He had reached the early-stage Marquis-level!
