33: The Vast World of Warriors

Martial Artist Mark: Raging Wind Thunder Eagle!

The moment the Martial Artist Mark was born.

An indescribable power surged within Li Canglan's body, filling the entire Training Room.

Li Canglan slowly stood up, feeling the immense power contained within his body.

"This power... I feel like my previous self in the Body Tempering Realm Late Stage was terrifyingly weak!"

[Name: Li Canglan]

[One-Star Warrior]

[Martial Artist Mark: Raging Wind Thunder Eagle]

[Lightning Element Talent: S]

[Wind Element Talent: A]

[Martial Skills: Wind Sweeps Ten Thousand Thunders (Initial Stage), Thunderbolt Slash (Minor Achievement)]

Li Canglan brought his two fingers together and sharply swung them down.

A thin bolt of lightning shot out, shattering a distant beer bottle!

"Becoming a Martial Artist really isn't bad!"

Li Canglan grinned.

This action seemed childish, but it represented that he was now completely different.

A Body Refining Martial Apprentice must use Martial Skills as a medium to perform long-range attacks.

However, after advancing to a Martial Artist, one can initially achieve Qi and Blood Separation from the Body to fight.

Although a Martial Artist's power still comes from themselves, Qi and blood separation allows him to do many things he couldn't do before.

With his mind focused, the Raging Wind Thunder Eagle Martial Artist Mark appeared before Li Canglan.

Upon it, a lightning element and a wind element Divine Rune were condensed.

This single Divine Rune represented his current Realm.

One-Star Warrior!

To advance to a Two-Star Martial Artist, one needs to absorb massive amounts of energy to strengthen the Raging Wind Thunder Eagle Mark.

After three Divine Runes appear, one can be considered a Two-Star Martial Artist.

A Three-Star Martial Artist, on the other hand, has six Divine Runes, and so on.

After a day of fighting in the arena and intense cultivation, Li Canglan was already somewhat overwhelmed.

However, he still forced himself to stay alert, tidied his clothes, and walked out of the Training Room.

"He..."

Li Canglan was about to speak when he saw the little girl curled up on the sofa not far away and quickly fell silent.

Her drool was on the sofa, indicating she was sleeping soundly.

"Your aura..."

Seeing Li Canglan come out, Elder He breathed a sigh of relief.

But he quickly noticed something was wrong.

Because he could clearly feel that Li Canglan's aura had become much stronger!

Not only that, but lightning occasionally flashed and a gentle breeze floated around Li Canglan's body surface.

"You broke through to a Martial Artist?"

He was at Body Tempering Realm Stage Two in the morning, and by afternoon, he had broken through to a Martial Artist.

If this were known, it would probably scare a lot of people to death!

"Is it that obvious?"

Li Canglan gave a wry smile.

He hadn't noticed anything unusual himself.

If that were the case, wouldn't he be discovered the moment he stepped out?

"This is a phenomenon after a Breakthrough; once you master your abilities, these phenomena will dissipate."

Hearing this, Li Canglan finally relaxed.

Just then, he saw a mask appear in Uncle He's hand.

"This is something I confiscated from an alien who was skilled in disguise."

Uncle He explained, "Wearing it can help you conceal your aura and subtly adjust your appearance according to your wishes."

Li Canglan was stunned; wasn't this exactly what many girls loved... micro-adjustments?

He took the thin mask and put it on directly.

The mask, thin as a cicada's wing, adhered to Li Canglan's face like a layer of skin, showing no trace of being there.

Even he himself didn't feel any discomfort.

Standing before a full-length mirror, Li Canglan's mind stirred, and he adjusted his appearance slightly.

Although there were no major changes, even Zhang Ganchao probably wouldn't recognize the person in the mirror as him!

After playing with the mask for a while, Li Canglan, having returned to his original appearance, came over to Uncle He.

"Uncle He, what do you plan to do with Keer and her brother?"

"I plan to let them stay with me for now."

Uncle He had clearly made plans long ago. "I need to use my connections to investigate the Qian family and confirm whether they truly violated taboos."

"Can't we just report it to the Martial Arts Association and have them search the Qian family?"

Li Canglan asked, "With Keer and her brother as witnesses, applying for a search warrant shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Uncle He sighed, "Did you forget that her brother already took the Mind Cleansing Grass? There's no trace of the forbidden drug's effects on him."

"What about Keer?"

"I've already checked; after Keer activated her Ability, the traces of the forbidden drug were also erased."

Li Canglan fell silent.

This meant they currently had no evidence to accuse the Qian family.

"Is there anything I can do?"

Li Canglan wished he could personally kill those who disregarded other people's lives!

"Your top priority now is to improve your strength, participate in the Grand Examination, and enter a top academy to continue your cultivation."

Uncle He advised, "Although you have become a Martial Artist, against the Qian family, you are no different from an ant."

"The Qian family's patriarch is a Peak Four-star Martial Artist; killing you wouldn't be difficult for him."

Although Li Canglan didn't want to admit the latter half of Uncle He's statement, he couldn't refute it.

As a nascent Martial Artist, he had only just stepped into this vast world.

It was still too early to become a true powerhouse.

"However, Uncle He," Li Canglan asked, puzzled, "I feel that even going to a Higher Academy wouldn't significantly help improve my strength, right?"

He only needed enough Crystal Cores to increase his strength.

Even if he went to a Higher Academy, would they provide him with free Crystal Cores?

If that's the case, wasting time on the Grand Examination would be less efficient than leaving the city to hunt demonic beasts for Crystal Cores.

"You're being absurd!"

Elder He's expression became stern, and he rarely reprimanded Li Canglan.

"A Higher Academy is not just an academy; it's also a symbol of identity and status!"

"A top-tier Higher Academy can provide you with a broader platform! You'll gain earlier access to first-hand knowledge about demonic beasts."

"If any Base City suffers a Wormhole Disaster, students from top academies will rush to the front lines just like soldiers!"

"Whether you want more resources, higher status, or to be revered, joining a top academy is the only choice!"

"Don't think that Uncle He and Old Guan have high status in Luofeng City; if we went to the Imperial Capital or the Demon Capital, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say people like us are everywhere!"

"And no matter how strong your talent, you can't be a lone wolf."

"In a top academy, you can meet more friends and make companions who share your aspirations..."

Seeing Elder He about to start rambling, Li Canglan felt a splitting headache.

He understood thereason, but he really didn't want to hear elders lecture like chanting scriptures!

Do all elders love to preach so much?

However, out of respect for Elder He, he patiently listened.

"Uncle He, I understand. I will definitely get into a top... no, the Imperial Capital Academy!"

After Elder He finished speaking, Li Canglan yawned and hurriedly got up.

"It's getting late, Uncle He, get some rest!"

As his voice fell, Li Canglan instantly vanished.

Elder He couldn't help but shake his head and smile wryly.

"This child..."
