10: Martial arts true qi!

“Let’s Breakthrough the Realm first!”

“Enhance the first part of Cloud Crane Dance Sword!”

His Potential Points decreased by 20, and this Martial Art was immediately elevated to the Minor Achievement Realm.

“Continue to enhance!”

Li Qi shouted, and his Potential Points decreased by another 30, while the first part of Cloud Crane Dance Sword was elevated to the Major Achievement Realm!

Li Qi felt such a deep understanding of this Martial Art, as if he had created it himself; Cloud Crane Dance Sword held no secrets from him.

And now, Li Qi’s Martial Dao Realm had also reached the Peak of the Body Tempering Realm!

His Physical Body was incredibly powerful!

With a slight exertion of his body, muscles like twisted steel wires appeared, and explosive power continuously surged from within him!

To Cultivate a Martial Art Cultivation Technique to the Major Achievement Realm and elevate one's Martial Dao Realm to the Peak of the Body Tempering Realm, reaching a point where no further progress could be made… was extremely difficult.

Ordinary people would need to invest a great deal of effort, requiring more than ten or even several decades of arduous Cultivation, to possibly achieve this.

Some people, due to insufficient Aptitude, could not reach Li Qi’s current Realm even in their entire lives, so to Breakthrough Body Tempering and reach the True Qi Realm, many would use special methods to achieve this.

For example… taking secret Medicinal Pills!

Using the power of Medicinal Pills to Breakthrough their limits and enter the True Qi Realm!

Some people would even take highly dangerous forbidden Medicinal Pills to Breakthrough their Realm!

Human power has its limits, and there are things beyond one's ability.

To Breakthrough the Realm… one had no choice but to do so.

But whether it was secret Medicinal Pills or forbidden Medicinal Pills, they were both very difficult for ordinary people to obtain and extremely expensive, requiring a significant price to acquire.

However, no one had imagined that in a dilapidated small wooden house in a corner of Chuan Prefecture City, a young man had reached this Realm without the aid of any Medicinal Pills, and he did so in an extremely short period of time, which would probably shock people to their core.

And Li Qi was now ready to take the next step.

“Strengthen and enhance the second part of Cloud Crane Dance Sword!”

The second part of Cloud Crane Dance Sword was White Cloud Heart Method, which was a Cultivation method for the True Qi Realm. With Li Qi’s current conditions, he was already qualified to Cultivate this Mind-Cultivation Technique.

His Potential Points decreased by another 3, and this White Cloud Heart Method was also mastered.

Soon, a completely different sensation emerged from Li Qi’s body.

A faint Qi resided in Li Qi’s Dantian, carrying a hint of dampness and a slight coolness, like mist swirling in the mountains.

And this Qi… was Martial Dao True Qi!

【Name: Li Qi】

【Realm: True Qi Realm Early Stage】

【Martial Arts: Mountain-Breaking Fist, Cloud Crane Sword Dance, Grass Tread Flight】

【Potential Points: 119】

Li Qi’s Cultivation had now fully stepped into the True Qi Realm!

Under his deliberate control, the White Cloud True Qi, condensed from the White Cloud Heart Method, circulated throughout his body, as agile and light as mountain mist.

Li Qi raised his hand, and a wisp of True Qi emerged from his body, floating in his palm.

Looking at this wisp of True Qi, like mist, Li Qi’s heart was stirred, and he said heavily, “I’ve finally stepped into this Realm!”

He drew the long sword from his waist and slashed it upwards.

A thin Sword Qi flew out, landing on the ground and cutting a small but extremely deep sword mark!

Martial Dao True Qi can emerge from the body, so Martial Artists at this stage can easily unleash Sword Qi or Saber Qi, harming enemies from a hundred paces away.

Earlier, when Huang Yuanqing fought Shi Chun and Cui Gu, Li Qi saw the gang leader unleash huge Saber Qi, which was dazzling, incredibly sharp, and immensely powerful, making Li Qi envious.

And now Li Qi had also stepped into the True Qi Realm, and he could also unleash Sword Qi!

Li Qi had completely risen from the bottom ranks of Martial Artists. A Martial Artist in the True Qi Realm, no matter where he was, was considered a strong expert who could hold his own.

“Continue to enhance!”

Li Qi continued to enhance the Cultivation Technique twice, raising the second part of Cloud Crane Dance Sword to the proficient level. The White Cloud True Qi in his body also expanded several folds, and both the strength and total amount of True Qi increased several times over!

And Li Qi’s Realm had also entered the Middle Stage of the True Qi Realm, making him an expert of the same Realm as Huang Yuanqing, the leader of the Ruyi Gang!

Li Qi originally wanted to continue enhancing, but the Martial Dao True Qi in his body grew too fast, giving him a bloated sensation.

After pondering for a moment, Li Qi stopped enhancing Cloud Crane Dance Sword, and then his gaze fell upon Grass Tread Flight.

“Enhance Grass Tread Flight!”

Li Qi still had enough Potential Points, so he directly enhanced Grass Tread Flight to the Minor Achievement Realm in one go!

Because Grass Tread Flight is purely a movement Cultivation Technique and does not involve Internal Skill Mind-Cultivation Technique, enhancing it did not impose an additional burden on Li Qi’s body, and it was easily elevated to this Realm.

This also brought a significant increase in Li Qi’s strength. Li Qi felt his legs were very light, as if a gentle push could free him from gravity and allow him to float directly into the air.

Li Qi lightly tapped the ground with his toes, and his body flashed, instantly appearing from one corner of the wooden house to another!

“So fast!”

Li Qi’s face lit up with joy, and his heart was excited.

In his previous life, when watching those Wuxia films, the great heroes with their extraordinary movement Cultivation Techniques, flying over roofs and scaling walls, made Li Qi incredibly envious. He never expected that after coming to this world, he would also possess such miraculous movement Cultivation Technique and be able to do these things.

Just now, Li Qi had not used the Martial Dao True Qi in his body, only his physical strength and movement Cultivation Technique skills, yet he could achieve such speed. And when he applied Martial Dao True Qi to his movement Cultivation Technique… his speed became even faster!

Like teleportation!

Li Qi’s figure constantly flickered back and forth in the wooden house, without any pattern or trajectory. His speed… had exceeded the limits of what ordinary human eyes could capture!

Grass Tread Flight does not have a specialized Mind-Cultivation Technique, which means… almost any Martial Dao True Qi cultivated by any Mind-Cultivation Technique can be applied to this movement Cultivation Technique!

And the White Cloud True Qi that Li Qi cultivated with White Cloud Heart Method was light and agile, remarkably compatible with Grass Tread Flight, producing an effect greater than the sum of its parts!

When Li Qi performed his movement Cultivation Technique and stepped with his feet, faint wisps of cloud-like Qi even appeared at his toes!

Not only was his speed extremely fast, but he seemed like an Immortal riding on clouds!

“I didn’t expect such a pleasant surprise.”

Upon discovering this, Li Qi also felt fortunate. He had not expected that the movement Cultivation Technique he chose from the Ruyi Gang would be the most suitable for him.

After mastering Cloud Crane Dance Sword and Grass Tread Flight, these two Medium Grade Martial Arts, Li Qi could both fight and escape, with flexible and varied tactical choices, and no obvious weaknesses.

Those who couldn't defeat him couldn't escape.

And those who could defeat him couldn't catch him.

His survival ability greatly increased!

With Li Qi’s current strength, it was already very difficult to kill him, and the sense of unease that had lingered in Li Qi’s heart had dissipated considerably.

Just as Li Qi was experimenting with these two Medium Grade Martial Arts, Chen Shaohan, who had come to assist the Ruyi Gang, returned. He met Huang Yuanqing, but his expression carried a hint of helplessness and solemnity.

Seeing Chen Shaohan’s unusual expression, Huang Yuanqing was startled and immediately stepped forward.

“Brother Chen, why do you look like this?”

“Has something unexpected happened?”
