84: Chapter 84 Seven Days, Mid-stage Martial King Realm!

The tribulation clouds dispersed!

A sliver of bright, cool moonlight spilled down from high above, and peace returned to heaven and earth!

Chen An stood aloft in the Void Realm, the purple lightning swirling around his body slowly receding, finally turning into a thin ray of light that sank into his forehead.

His robes fluttered and his black hair danced wildly in the wind. The violent aura from the fierce battle just now was completely restrained within him, but instead, it exuded an even more unfathomable pressure, like a dormant volcano—seemingly calm, but actually harboring power that could destroy heaven and earth.

He slowly spread open his right hand, feeling the surging core energy within his body, and a satisfied smile curled on his lips.

"Middle Stage of the Martial King Realm!!!"

The Martial Dao Golden Core had already grown from its initial fist size to the size of a small watermelon. Its volume had expanded by a full circle, and the density of his core energy had surged by more than three times.

Not only that, but with the tempering of that final world-destroying purple lightning, the strength of his Physical Body had also reached another level, becoming more than ten times stronger than before.

...

"He succeeded! This Senior actually survived the Heavenly Tribulation. From now on, our Human Race has added another Martial King expert!"

"Blasting the lightning with his fists, using the tribulation for Body Tempering... such elegance is truly unmatched in this world!!!"

"I wonder what this Senior's background is. Could he be a hidden expert from the Four Great Sects?!"

Looking at the figure in the Void Realm, all the Martial Artists trembled with excitement, their eyes filled with fanaticism and worship.

Today's Heavenly Tribulation will surely spread throughout the entire Chengtian Prefecture, and even the entire Great Luo Dynasty!!!

Among the crowd, some Martial Artists whose eyes had originally flashed with greed saw that this Senior was not only uninjured after Undergoing Tribulation, but his aura seemed even more powerful. They all lowered their heads and restrained their thoughts, fearing that this mysterious newly ascended expert would see through their malicious intentions.

"Junior Principal Beigong Mo, Head of the Chengtian Academy, congratulates Senior on passing the Heavenly Tribulation and attaining the honored position of Martial King!!!"

At this moment, a figure stepped out from the crowd and, in a few steps, arrived nearby, bowing respectfully to the newly ascended Martial King.

Only when the others saw Principal Beigong Mo's actions did they snap back to their senses.

In their hearts, they cursed Principal Beigong Mo for being an old fox, actually stepping forward to speak first before anyone else, taking all the initiative.

One must know, this was a Martial King Realm expert who Cultivated the "Thunderous Hegemon Fist," which had been lost for thousands of years, and could withstand the Lightning Tribulation with his Physical Body, easily passing the Three-Nine Lightning Tribulation.

If one could leave an impression on such an expert, get on familiar terms, and forge a good relationship, the benefits in the future would be endless!

"Junior Patriarch Shen Canglan of Chengtian Prefecture congratulates Senior on attaining the honored position of Martial King!"

"Junior Grandmaster Pei Wendao of Chengtian Prefecture congratulates Senior on attaining the honored position of Martial King!!"

"Junior Governor Luo Tianxin of Chengtian Prefecture congratulates Senior on attaining the honored position of Martial King!!!"

...

All of a sudden, over a hundred Martial Artists who were at least in the Grandmaster Realm bowed in respect together. Their grand voices shook the entire desert!

In the Void Realm!

With his hands clasped behind his back, Chen An swept his gaze over the respectful and excited Principal Beigong Mo, Patriarch Shen Canglan, and the others, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

If his Revered Master and Shen Qinglan's grandfather knew that the person they were bowing to was actually his Revered Master's newly accepted Disciple, and the one who called the grandfather 'Great-Grandfather', he wondered what their expressions would be?!

"No need for such courtesy. All of you, rise!"

Although he felt a bit odd in his heart, Chen An maintained a calm expression on his face, speaking in a completely nonchalant manner.

Though his voice was not loud, it clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Thank you, Senior!"

Hearing this, everyone finally stood up. Then, Principal Beigong Mo was the first to speak again, "Senior's elegance is unmatched. To be able to witness Senior Undergoing Tribulation with our own eyes today is truly the fortune of our three lifetimes!"

"I wonder if Senior has some free time? This Junior has already prepared a welcoming feast at the Chengtian Academy. We humbly invite Senior to grace us with your presence!"

"Everyone in the Prefectural Academy looks forward to admiring Senior's elegance and listening to your teachings!" Principal Beigong Mo looked at Chen An respectfully, his face filled with anticipation.

If one could receive even a single pointer from a newly ascended Martial King Realm expert, perhaps they could break through decades of bottlenecks and step into the Martial King Realm in one fell swoop.

"No need!" Chen An glanced at Principal Beigong Mo and said indifferently.

Hearing Chen An's words, the smile on Principal Beigong Mo's face froze, and a hint of astonishment and disappointment flashed in his eyes.

However, Principal Beigong Mo did not dare to harbor the slightest dissatisfaction in his heart.

Because the will of a Martial King Realm expert was not to be questioned!

"This seat still has important matters to attend to, so I shall depart first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen An did not linger. With a sway of his body, he vanished into the Void Realm.

Only the faint scent of lightning that had not yet fully dispersed in the air and the charred, glassy craters left on the ground after being struck by the Lightning Tribulation remained to prove that the peerless expert had indeed undergone his tribulation here.

Only when that aura had completely vanished did everyone dare to let out a long sigh of relief. Their tense nerves suddenly relaxed, followed by an overwhelming wave of disappointment.

"Alas... he just left like that..."

"I was even thinking of seizing the opportunity to step forward and ask a question about Cultivation, even if I got scolded by the Senior."

"Be content. To be able to witness a Martial King Undergoing Tribulation with your own eyes is already the fortune of three lifetimes. How many people live their whole lives without ever seeing a Martial King's face."

There was a flurry of discussion in the crowd; some sighed with regret, some secretly rejoiced, but even more stared in the direction of Chen An's departure, their eyes filled with fanaticism and yearning.

...

Shrinking the Earth into Inches, his body was like flowing light!

With one step, Chen An was already over a hundred miles away!

In less than ten breaths, he had crossed a distance of over a thousand miles, returning to the Tingtao Courtyard of the Chengtian Academy.

"Whew!!~~"

Sitting by the table, he poured himself a cup of water and drank it in one gulp. Only then did Chen An exhale a long breath of turbid air, a slight curve rising at the corner of his mouth.

Although he had spent fifteen million yuan crystals this time and failed to promote to the peak of the Martial Dao, the Martial Emperor Realm, as he had wished...

However, it had also allowed him to break through the shackles of Great Grandmaster Perfection and reach the Martial King Realm.

Moreover, after surviving the Lightning Tribulation, he, who was originally only in the Early Stage of the Martial King, had broken through another minor Realm with the help of the Lightning Tribulation, reaching the Middle Stage of the Martial King.

This level of cultivation, as long as he didn't seek death, was currently more than enough.

If not for the fear that exposing his cultivation would attract the prying eyes of Martial Emperor Realm experts, which might be disadvantageous to him, he could now walk sideways through the entire Qingzhou.

Unfortunately, he didn't dare!

One must know, from the time he Awakened his memories until today, it had only been a mere seven days.

Seven days ago, he was still just a trash Martial Artist who was only at Condensing Qi Stage 2 at the age of seventeen.

Seven days later, he was now a Martial King Realm expert who had formed a Martial Dao Golden Core and could destroy a city with a single palm strike.

If such a thing were to get out, the entire Great Luo Dynasty would probably go crazy.

Not to mention ordinary Martial Artists, even Martial Emperor Realm experts would want to know the secret of why he became strong so quickly.

"But compared to a certain guy who blasted through seven parallel Universes in seven days, my current cultivation doesn't seem to be much, does it?!"

Shaking his head, Chen An decided to remain steadfast on the path of low-profile development, then stood up and walked toward the bathroom.

"Forget it, I should take it step by step!"

"In any case, the Martial King Realm grants at least five hundred years of Lifespan. I still have plenty of time; there's no need to rush for immediate results!!!"
