Chapter 1: Crossing Over into the System

  It can't go on like this, can I just take a beating?

  Huang Yu dodged Gu Xin's attack while thinking.

  "Bang..."

  He was hit by another punch, and in this short time, less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Huang Yu didn't even know how many times he had been hit. If they were using real knives and guns, several lives wouldn't be enough to kill him off.

  Do I have to resort to using my ultimate move - Rogue's Fist?

  After some thought, Huang Yu still didn't take that action. If he really used those rascal tactics, who knows how it would enrage Xiao Gu.

  However, Huang Yu did not give up easily despite this.

  A practical military-style boxing routine was performed.

  This martial art was learned by Huang Yu when he was studying, in order to exercise his body. All along, Huang Yu had never put it down, only that on the True Martial Continent, there wasn't so much time to practice.

  Jun Ti Quan's first move, every gesture and style, carried a fierce killing intent, each move was fatal. Gu Xiang was caught off guard and was at a disadvantage, but Huang Yu somehow managed to gain the upper hand in that situation.

  However, the gap in strength was too great, and after Gu Xin reacted, he used his absolute power to break through Huang Yu's attack, making Huang Yu once again the one being bullied.

  However, as time passed, Huang Yu gradually grasped his own strength and slowly brought out the power of a Yuan Dan realm peak warrior. With each punch and kick, it became increasingly evident.

  One punch, one kick, let Huang Yu continuously comprehend and integrate the experience of fighting in the past, military boxing, intercepting fist way, dizzy fist, all the fist methods learned on Earth were displayed, and the whole person fell into a kind of mysterious state, with more astonishing power.

  Let Gu Xin be more and more surprised, if it is oneself who suppresses the strength in the Yuan Dan realm, then I estimate that one will lose very badly. Although this point makes Gu Xin unwilling to admit it, he has no choice but to acknowledge that this guy's talent is too amazing, and his innate gift for fighting is even more so. At first, he was just taking a beating and didn't have the power to fight back, but in such a short period of time, his strength underwent an earth-shattering change, and every move was so simple yet natural and effortless, without any excess or waste.

  Huang Yu felt extremely exhilarated, a feeling he had never experienced before, and his entire body's strength was unleashed to the limit.

  "Uh-huh."

  Huang Yu felt a thin layer of barrier being pierced through.

  The whole body's true energy surged, and the yuan dan in the dantian suddenly exploded, slowly re-condensing to form a small person, with a clear appearance.

  It's broken through, I've actually broken through.

  From Yuan Dan boundary perfection, reached Ren Ying boundary first stage.

  This was beyond Huang Yu's expectations, he didn't think that in such a situation, he not only grasped the power he originally didn't have, but also broke through his original limits and reached the Infant Realm.

  Too unexpected, too surprising! I thought it would take at least a year or two to reach the state of being carefree, but unexpectedly, everything went so smoothly and beyond my expectations.

  Huang Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of golden light, and he let out a low shout as he threw out a punch, actually forcing Gu Xin to retreat dozens of steps.

  "Good arrival." Seeing Huang Yu suddenly broke through, Gu Xin was shocked and unwilling to show weakness, increased his strength, and wrapped himself around Huang Yu. One hand clenched into a fist, the other hand opened, and as the fist swung out, the other hand slowly retracted, forming a claw shape, grasping towards Huang Yu's chest.

  Huang Yu neither rushed nor hesitated, his eyes snapped open, his fists clenched, and with a simple yet powerful move, he countered Gu Xiang's mysterious technique.

  At the touch, Huang Yu retreated three steps, while Gu Xin retreated one step.

  Although he blocked Gu Xin's attack, Huang Yu's true yuan force was almost drained. After all, he had just broken through and reached the Human Infant Realm, and his cultivation had not yet thoroughly stabilized. Being able to do so was already his limit.

  Huang Yu knew his situation and hastily retreated to one side, shouting: "Stop."

  "What, you're giving up already?" Gu Xian saw Huang Yu call for a stop and couldn't help but let out a light hum, saying with a look of disdain.

  "I give up." Huang Yu heard this and secretly thought, not giving up, continuing to look for abuse, he had already completed his previous goal, and it was still over-fulfilled, if he continued, would he be a sandbag for him?

  "What a loss of face for men." Gu Xian saw Huang Yu unmoved and couldn't help but feel angry.

  Huang Yu smiled and said, "Thank you very much. If it weren't for your help, I really wouldn't have been able to grasp my powers so quickly and break through the bottleneck to reach the Human Infant Realm."

  "Really want me to thank you?" Gu Xin's eyes rolled over and looked at Huang Yu.

  "That's natural." Seeing Gu Xin like this, Huang Yu secretly thought that she would definitely come up with some idea to deal with him. Although Huang Yu really wanted to say no at this time, the words that had been spoken were like spilled water and could not be taken back. A man must keep his promises and do what he says, so since he had already said it, how could he take it back? Therefore, Huang Yu gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement, "As long as I can do it, I will definitely not decline."

  "Alright, this is what you said, my request is very simple, it's easy for you to do, you can definitely do it." Gu Xian saw Huang Yu agree, the corners of her mouth curved even higher, her eyes sparkling with cunning light, "A man's words, cannot be taken back oh."

  "You can rest assured on this point."

  "Alright, your cultivation has just broken through, so take some time to consolidate it. I'll go take a bath first." With that, Gu Xin turned around and left the training room.

  Huang Yu felt a sense of foreboding, although he didn't know what lay ahead, his intuition told him that this time, it was definitely not going to be anything good. But since things had already come to this point, all he could do was take it one step at a time and hope for the best.

  ……

  ……

  The next day.

  Huang Yu came out of the practice room, his cultivation had been completely solidified, and his cultivation was used by Huang Yu to exchange functions with the system, which was promoted to the peak of the first stage of Renyin.

  At this time, his personal attributes are as follows:

  Huang Yu

  Level: 13 (56/4000)

  Cultivation: Human Infant Realm First Layer (Complete)

  Blood Volume: 400

  Attack: 1999

  Defense: 1999

  Dodge: 1999

  Lucky: 5

  School: None

  Method: Thunder Dragon Fist

  Life Energy: 574

  Equipment: Fruit Knife (Ordinary Extreme), Wild Wolf Wrist Guard (Ordinary Lower), Wild Wolf Soft Armor (Ordinary Upper), Black Flame Chest Guard (Human Middle), Shadow Dagger (Human Lower), Purple Light Ring (Storage Ring, Attribute Unknown), Purple Pole Sword (Human Extreme)

  Skills: Flying Dagger Technique (Human Grade Lower Tier, upgradable), Gathering Technique (Common Grade Lower Tier, upgradable), Exploration Technique (Common Grade Lower Tier, upgradable), Golden Ancient Gaze Technique (Heavenly Grade Lower Tier), Treading Wind Pursuit (Human Grade Lower Tier), Thunder Dragon Fury (Human Grade Extreme Tier)

  Compared to before when there was no breakthrough, his combat power had increased by more than double. However, this also consumed a thousand pieces of low-grade spirit stones.

  This made Huang Yu understand that the current exchange rate for spiritual stones to cultivation was: if it was a low-grade spiritual stone, then increasing combat power by a bit, such as one point of attack, one point of defense, and one point of dodge, would require one low-grade spiritual stone. If using life energy, it would be 500 points of life energy.

  Such an exchange rate made Huang Yu want to cry, and compared to before, this rate had actually increased too much. If he were to break through the bottleneck every time in the Human Infant Realm, using spirit stones or life force to increase his cultivation, it would require a thousand pieces of low-grade spirit stones. In other words, if he wanted to reach the Yuanshen Realm, he would need ten thousand pieces of low-grade spirit stones, which was equivalent to one hundred pieces of mid-grade spirit stones.

  However, compared to others, the amount of spiritual stones he consumed was still relatively small. After all, he had the system's help, and those warriors who didn't have the system's assistance might not be able to break through even if they consumed more spiritual stones. For him, as long as he broke through the bottleneck, he could use the spiritual stones to upgrade without any hindrance.

  ……

  Huang Yu arrived in the courtyard, took a deep breath of the refreshing air, and saw Gu Xin already waiting there.

  "You finally came out, I thought you'd have to wait until the sun was high in the sky before getting up!" Seeing Huang Yu's arrival, Gu Xin seemed very happy and excited.

  Huang Yu heard this and thought to himself, "It's already three poles up in the sun, I do want to, but it also depends on whether there is a woman who gives me days."

  "Good morning."

  "It's early? It's already not early anymore. Let's go." Gu Xin said as she turned around and walked outside.

  "Where are you going?"

  "Didn't you promise me something? Are you going back on your word?" Gu Xin said.

  "No, I didn't mean that. I just want to figure out what's going on, even if it means dying, at least let me die with a clear conscience." Huang Yu said, looking at Gu Xin's delicate face.

  "Don't worry, I won't sell you out," Gu Xin said, "Just follow me."

  Following Gu Xin out of Shen Shi Ge, they came to a stone pagoda, where there were many people gathered around.

  "What is this place? What are they doing?" Huang Yu asked curiously.

  "This is the Lingyun Tower of Qishui City, the Lingyun Tower is the most mysterious existence on the Zhenwu Continent, let alone you don't know?" Gu Xin looked at Huang Yu and said.

  "What's Lingyun Tower? What is it? Why must I know?" Huang Yu asked.

  "Don't you know about Lingyun Tower?" Gu Xin looked at Huang Yu as if he were a monster.

  "What's so special about this Lingyun Tower?" Huang Yu was also stunned, isn't it just a tower? If you don't know, then you don't know, what's the big deal?

  "I'm really impressed by you? I don't know how your master taught you?" Gu Xin looked at Huang Yu with an unbelievable gaze, and after a while, she explained, "This Lingyun Tower is a place where the True Martial Continent tests and records the martial artist's potential. Any martial artist who takes the test in the Lingyun Tower will have their potential displayed, and those with better qualifications and higher potential will be ranked higher. Of course, this ranking is not fixed, it changes as one's strength changes. Different levels of martial artists have different rankings."
