76: Breakthrough! Level 2 Warrior!
Martial Artists are indeed a money-burning profession; they earn quickly, but they also spend quickly.
Li Ziyu returned to the second floor of the villa, sat on the sofa, and looked at the briefcase containing Dragon Marrow Fluid in his hand, feeling a bit emotional.
“Moreover, there’s a huge polarization; the strong remain strong, but the weak can’t even enjoy cultivation resources.”
“I wonder if Modu Martial Arts University intentionally set it up this way, or if there’s some other reason,” Li Ziyu mused.
However, these things didn't concern him much.
As long as his strength could improve, his resources would only increase.
Thinking this, Li Ziyu opened the briefcase on the coffee table, took out the Dragon Marrow Fluid, and gulped it down.
The amber liquid entered his mouth.
Li Ziyu instantly felt as if a ball of fire was burning in his throat, then flowed down his intestines into his stomach.
Then, his stomach felt as if a stick of dynamite had exploded, and the intense heat from the explosion immediately spread through his bloodstream to his limbs and bones.
Scorching heat!
It was a scorching heat, as if his entire body was immersed in flames.
Li Ziyu’s skin at this moment was like a perfectly cooked prawn, completely red.
A white steam hissed from the top of his head.
“Huh, where’s that steam coming from? Is Yu-ge having a sauna?”
Downstairs, Sun Qiming, who was sitting on the sofa, enjoying potato chips and watching TV, looked curiously at the steam rising from the stairwell, his expression puzzled.
However, he shook his head and stopped paying attention, continuing to watch TV.
“Phew… Holy crap, as expected of Dragon Marrow Fluid, which is more potent than Qi Blood Pill, it’s truly awesome!”
A quarter of an hour later, Li Ziyu, who had completely digested the medicinal power, stretched his limbs.
Looking at his reddened hands, Li Ziyu was filled with emotion.
Although he didn't know exactly how much his Qi and blood had increased, Li Ziyu could clearly feel the improvement in strength and physical quality.
Name: Li Ziyu.
Realm: First Level Peak Martial Artist.
Battle Skills: Elementary Natural Breathing Technique, Elementary Thunderclap Slash, Peak Savage Bull Body Tempering Method, Peak Body Technique, Peak Blade Technique, Advanced Vajra Body, Swift Wind Blade Technique.
System: Martial God System.
Function: Can absorb all things, increase Qi and blood, other functions to be discovered by the host.
“Hmm… one tube of Dragon Marrow Fluid isn’t enough, keep chugging!”
“If I have enough Qi and blood points, I’ll prioritize advancing my realm!”
Li Ziyu looked at the system panel in his mind and thought to himself.
It was also time to advance his realm.
Thinking this, Li Ziyu took out another tube of Dragon Marrow Fluid from the briefcase on the coffee table and gulped it down.
Gulp.
Sun Qiming downstairs looked at the white smoke appearing in the living room with a puzzled expression.
What’s going on? Yu-ge’s sauna session is a bit long, isn’t it?
Upstairs, white steam continuously hissed from Li Ziyu’s body.
He felt as if his entire being was immersed in lava.
After five consecutive tubes, Li Ziyu’s entire body was as red as a steamed prawn.
In these two hours, he had consumed the equivalent of fifty Qi Blood Pills directly!
“Phew! I can’t take any more; my body has reached its limit. I feel like I’ll explode if I take more!”
Li Ziyu opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a turbid breath.
The turbid breath whistled, swirling the air around his mouth and nose like small arrows.
“Open the system panel.”
Name: Li Ziyu.
Realm: First Level Peak Martial Artist (+).
Battle Skills: Elementary Natural Breathing Technique (+), Elementary Thunderclap Slash (+), Peak Savage Bull Body Tempering Method (+), Peak Body Technique (+), Peak Blade Technique (+), Advanced Vajra Body (+), Swift Wind Blade Technique (+).
System: Martial God System.
Function: Can absorb all things, increase Qi and blood, other functions to be discovered by the host.
“Good! I can upgrade now!”
“It seems this time’s improvement was indeed significant; not only can my realm be upgraded, but even my Knife Skill, Body Movement, and other martial arts that are already at the peak level can be improved.”
“However, I still need to prioritize advancing my realm!”
Li Ziyu looked at the plus signs appearing behind the system panel, his expression filled with excitement.
In just a short month, he was about to go from a non-Martial Artist to a Second-Level Martial Artist!
This speed had never been seen before in the entire Great Xia!
Thinking this, Li Ziyu didn’t hesitate and directly chose to advance his realm.
As his thought settled, Li Ziyu felt a booming sound explode within his body.
It was as if a bottleneck had been broken through, and a strange sensation of his body being inflated like a balloon surged forth.
However, his body showed no change.
Li Ziyu was not flustered at all; the textbook explained this phenomenon.
This was a sign that the human body’s limits were being expanded.
The process of a Martial Artist’s advancement was also a process of continuously raising their own limits.
If his body originally could withstand Qi and blood like a trickling stream, then after advancing to a Second-Level Martial Artist, his body’s capacity for Qi and blood would be like a river!
It was at least ten times stronger than before!
Li Ziyu swung his fist, feeling the changes in his body.
His fist caused bursts of explosive sounds in the air.
But his fist also seemed as if it had never moved.
That was because the speed of his punch was too fast, creating an illusion!
Li Ziyu then looked around his surroundings.
After advancing to a Second-Level Martial Artist, his five senses’ perception of his surroundings also became much clearer.
The patterns on the wings of mosquitoes dozens of meters away were clearly visible.
It was like a person who had been nearsighted and deaf for years suddenly gained 0.5 vision and superhuman hearing.
That feeling was quite wonderful.
“No wonder the outside world says that cross-level combat is impossible.”
“This kind of overwhelming speed in physical attributes, if I hadn’t cultivated my Body Refinement Method and various Battle Skills to their peak, I wouldn’t be able to compensate for the physical gap brought by the realm difference!”
Li Ziyu thought to himself.
After advancing to a Second-Level Martial Artist, his physical quality, strength, speed, and neural reaction speed had directly increased by more than ten times!
Name: Li Ziyu.
Realm: Intermediate Level Second Grade Martial Artist.
Battle Skills: Elementary Natural Breathing Technique, Elementary Thunderclap Slash, Peak Savage Bull Body Tempering Method, Peak Body Technique, Peak Blade Technique, Advanced Vajra Body, Swift Wind Blade Technique.
System: Martial God System.
Function: Can absorb all things, increase Qi and blood, other functions to be discovered by the host.
“So now, I can chug Dragon Marrow Fluid again!”
After his physical quality improved, the amount of Dragon Marrow Fluid he could consume daily also increased.
When he was a First Grade Warrior at the peak, Li Ziyu could consume five tubes of Dragon Marrow Fluid per day.
Now that he had advanced to a Second-Level Martial Artist, he felt that this amount should at least double!
Without thinking, Li Ziyu directly picked up another tube of Dragon Marrow Fluid from the coffee table and gulped it down.
Gulp, gulp.
The amber liquid entered his mouth, and the scorching heat, which had been like lava just moments ago, was now much weaker.
Drinking Dragon Marrow Fluid as a First Grade Warrior felt like drinking molten lava.
Now, drinking it felt a bit like drinking warm water.
“Once my realm improves further, will the Dragon Marrow Fluid’s effect on me weaken?”
Li Ziyu thought, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt this was possible.
However, at least for now, the effect was still there.
Li Ziyu didn’t hesitate; striking while the iron was hot, he chugged five bottles in a row.
“Holy crap! Why do I feel like the temperature in the villa has increased?”
“What’s Yu-ge doing?”
