26: Warrior's Petition

Chen Qing slowly approached the huge central arena. The spectators on both sides, seeing him walk towards the arena, retreated to make way for him.

Hoo~

Ever since he Transmigrated to this world and embarked on the Martial Dao path, aside from battles within the Ice God Space, he had never truly fought anyone in the real world.

Watching the crowd automatically retreat on both sides, and listening to the various discussions, Chen Qing felt a surge of excitement.

Ever since he Transmigrated to this world where Martial Arts reigned supreme, the most frequent advice he heard was that a Martial Artist must learn to fight with all his might!

Li Tianyang had said it, Fu Mingyu had said it, Senior Brother Tong Zhe had said it, his own teacher had said it, Jinling University's principal Xu Jingzhong had also said it, and even some Martial Arts students he occasionally passed by had said it.

Chen Qing deeply agreed with their statements, and his own Cultivation had always been diligent. He had lost count of how many times he had died in the Ice God Space during his Cultivation these past few days.

------

One day ago.

Chen Qing, holding a gigantic greatsword forged from extreme ice, slowly approached the Snow Wolf King.

He was bathed in blood, some his own, but mostly from the Snow Wolf pack.

Aside from the Snow Wolf King, dozens of Snow Wolves, equivalent to human non-Martial Artists to early First Rank, had all been slain by Chen Qing.

He didn't just rely on his ability to Rebirth infinitely into this Realm to exhaust them.

Instead, after countless battles and deaths, he gradually became familiar with his fighting style and skills before slowly killing them head-on.

Chen Qing had a clear understanding of himself.

Although he could rapidly increase his strength with the help of the Ice God Space, he knew very well that no matter how high his Realm or how much his Martial Skills improved through the proficiency System, he would still lack the ferocity and ruthlessness of a Martial Artist compared to those who had emerged from battlefields. More importantly, he lacked battle intuition!

Born in a peaceful era in his previous life, Chen Qing had no opportunity to hone these skills.

In this life, if he wanted to reach the Peak of the Martial Dao, he had to strengthen his abilities in all aspects.

There were too many races across the myriad worlds, and the Human Race was weak, which indicated a problem: humanity might need to Breakthrough its own limits again and again!

His teacher seemed to be researching something important, and there should be many others like him in the Federation. Chen Qing felt that perhaps they were all trying their best to find a path to greater strength!

Chen Qing was not a Saint, nor could he concern himself with too many people's affairs; for now, he could only take care of himself.

Battle intuition was what he currently lacked!

So, after his vitality reached 0.99, he had been constantly honing his fighting will and battle intuition.

He continuously attempted to solo entire wolf packs in the midst of them, at a non-Martial Artist Realm, until the last day before school started!

Chen Qing, holding the greatsword, smiled. He had finally, at a non-Martial Artist Realm, killed all the Snow Wolves with a single life.

“Heh heh, Little White, thank you!”

The Ice Spirit Cat, Little White, had been accompanying him in his Cultivation these past few days, and at Chen Qing's request, had helped to restrain the Snow Wolf King. Otherwise, with the Snow Wolf King's strength, Chen Qing would never have been able to kill so many Snow Wolves in front of it.

Little White was very strong and had no trouble restraining the Snow Wolf King.

However, it was very confused, because if this human wanted to kill this pack of damned Yao Beasts, it could have helped completely, as these wolf Yao Beasts were already at odds with it.

Yet, it was only asked to restrain the Snow Wolf King, preventing it from assisting or escaping.

This guy had been fighting until he was covered in blood this time, yet he still didn't use his disappearance technique, and continued to struggle.

Now, he was asking it to step aside. Was he planning to challenge this Wolf King one-on-one?

This Wolf King was at the level of a human First Rank Peak, and with its Yao Beast physique strength and skills, it was comparable to a Second Rank. This was far from what those First Rank Snow Wolves could match.

Was this human being foolish? Although he had barely gained First Rank combat power these days, his Realm was still genuinely unranked. How could he possibly win?

Chen Qing ignored what it was thinking, and as he walked, he looked at his System panel.

Just a moment ago, he had finally completed the final Breakthrough.

The Life Force Multiplier has been activated. Currently, the multiplier condition has not been met, defaulting to 1.

----------

He still didn't know what the Life Force Multiplier was.

However, his Life Force Index had reached 1 in the non-Martial Artist stage!

Chen Qing could clearly feel that his Life Force Index could no longer advance in the non-Martial Artist stage!

The next moment, Chen Qing's body underwent a noticeable change.

The Qi and blood in his body surged like crashing waves! His bones cracked, as if tearing and reassembling! His Meridians also became tougher under constant scouring!

“Boom!”

The roaring sound of surging Qi and blood was continuous, and Chen Qing was immersed in this feeling, more comfortable than ever before.

After a good while, the changes in his body stopped.

Life Force Index: 2.36

Mental Energy Index: 2.97

Realm: First Rank, Martial Artist Realm

Chen Qing finally Broke Through his Realm, officially stepping into the gate of a Martial Artist!

And his Life Force Index directly leaped from 1 to 2.36!

Breaking his Life Force to 1 in the non-Martial Artist stage indeed caused a huge change in his body!

No Breakthrough until now, but once he Broke Through, it was straight to the high First Rank!

His heart was excited, but he was caught off guard and struck in the chest by the Snow Wolf King's paw.

“Boom!”

Chen Qing took the blow head-on, but only retreated a few steps, not instantly killed as before!

“Heh heh, your physique strength isn't at the Second Rank level, Wolf King. It seems you can't beat me anymore!”

“Now, the offense and defense have shifted!”

------

Returning to the Martial Arts Arena, Chen Qing leaped onto the central arena.

“Chen Qing?” The person opposite him asked.

Chen Qing nodded.

As his identity was confirmed, the names of both combatants appeared on the large screen above the arena.

“Challenger: Xia Xuan, challenging the 100th ranked freshman, Chen Qing.”
