"Is this kid going to break through?" The two elder servants who had just turned back into the house naturally felt the change in the atmosphere outside, and after raising an eyebrow in surprise, they almost said in unison, their faces filled with a hint of excitement.
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, just as they had anticipated, Wang Chen was now at the peak of a 6th-stage True Martial Artist, needing only an opportunity. Once that opportunity arrived, he would naturally enter the ranks of a 7th-stage True Martial Artist and step into the realm of high-level True Martial Artists.
And today's battle with Yao Tian is his best opportunity, stimulating his potential and allowing him to seize this opportunity.
Feeling this situation, Wu Gong and Ba Gong also gave up their plan to leave, standing at the door, looking far away at Wang Chen's state.
At this time, Zhou Tian's yuanqi converged towards Wang Chen, forming a whirlwind around him that continuously rotated and exerted pressure.
The vital energy rushed into his body, began to roar and condense, finally transforming into true yuan. The true yuan was strengthened, compressed, tempered, and refined, tempering the body and condensing the primordial spirit.
Time passed minute by minute, second by second, and the empty space where Wang Chen was located was ravaged by strong winds. At this time, Wang Chen slightly furrowed his brow and endured the impact of the yuanqi.
The body's true yuan force is constantly reaching saturation, then constantly being compressed, starting a constant cycle of this process!
There is also a threshold between the sixth-order Zhenwu and the seventh-order Zhenwu, with a distinct gap between the two levels, despite being only one level apart.
Under the Emperor Dragon's Decree, the True Yuan Force is overwhelmingly domineering, charging forward recklessly, expanding the meridians and tempering the body! With the Dan Tian as the center, it revolves around the Heavenly Cycle again and again.
Finally, when it reached a level that could no longer be compressed, Wang Chen's meridians throughout his body transmitted a tearing pain, and the timing was already fully ripe.
At this moment, Wang Chen led the true yuan force towards the threshold of the seventh-order Zhenwu.
That faintly visible shackle, at this moment can no longer restrain Wang Chen. That intangible shackle, at this moment under the impact of Emperor Dragon's blow, began to shake and weaken.
Finally, after eighteen consecutive impacts, accompanied by a loud noise, that lock was broken through, and another meridian was opened at this moment, opening up a vast new world.
The true yuan force seemed to have found an outlet, quickly rushing into the forbidden zone, then began to flow, expand and refine, continuously condensing and strengthening.
It wasn't until thirty-six weeks had passed that everything finally began to slowly calm down.
At this moment, Wang Chen stepped into the ranks of a Seventh-Order True Martial Artist.
The external yuanqi gradually subsided and then dispersed in all directions, everything returned to calmness.
"Breakthrough?" Behind him, the Eight Venerables looked at Wang Chen with a strange gaze, muttering to themselves.
"Hmm, he's broken through... This kid..." Wu Gong had a mix of emotions, this kid's cultivation was like playing a game, so simple and effortless, it made people feel a bit unbalanced in their hearts.
At the beginning of their cultivation, every breakthrough was not without hardships and difficulties, every breakthrough was not without crises, especially when encountering such obvious gaps and divided realms.
The impact that the meridian endured, the pain that the body suffered are all imaginable. But Wang Chen seemed to be unaffected as if nothing had happened. This made people truly envious.
This may be where his perseverance and talent play a crucial role.
Far away, after letting the true yuan force circulate in his body for several cycles, Wang Chen finally let out a breath of relief, spat out a mouthful of turbid air, and slowly opened his eyes. A ray of light flashed before his eyes!
"Seventh rank Zhenwu!" Feeling the abundant true yuan power in his body, Wang Chen's mouth corner revealed a hint of a smile as he muttered to himself.
No mistake, at this moment he has already entered the ranks of a 7th-order True Martial Artist. The abundant True Yuan force within his body is far beyond what a 6th-order True Martial Artist can match, with a natural difference that is not to be underestimated, and it's no wonder that he was able to cross over that chasm.
Although the growth of power is not as obvious as that of true yuan, under such a supply of true yuan, Wang Chen's combat effectiveness can also be greatly improved and he can persist for a longer time.
Especially the Qing Guang burst, if under the support of such a true yuan force, the Qing Guang burst has already had the power to threaten the spiritual martial artist! This time, if you can condense five or even six layers of Qing Guang burst, when you encounter Yao Tian, I believe he won't be so easy-going.
Serious injury is entirely possible and it won't just be like this morning's battle where he was only wounded in the flesh but not his tendons and bones.
"Haha... Kid, how's it going? You've broken through, feels pretty good, right?" Seeing Wang Chen stand up, the Eighth and Fifth Tribulation Elders walked towards him, smiling and asking.
"Come on, young one, let's exchange a few moves and see how much you've improved!" The Eight Venerables said with great interest.
Upon hearing the Eight's words, Wang Chen's heart was filled with joy. After breaking through, the true yuan force inside his body had not yet fully subsided, and he still had a lingering urge to vent it out. This sentence exactly matched his intentions.
"Twenty Overlapping Wave Palms!" With a loud roar, Wang Chen immediately brought out his strongest technique, the Overlapping Wave Palm.
In an instant, a strong gust of wind howled, like thunder, palm shadows danced across the sky, covering heaven and earth.
At this moment, the twenty overlapping waves of palm power have clearly made significant progress.
Sixth-stage True Martial, Wang Chen's physical strength had reached 9,000 jin. Now a Seventh-stage True Martial, his strength had already entered the ranks of 10,000 jin, which was equivalent to that of an ordinary Eighth-stage True Martial.
Under the twenty-layered overlapping palm, the power amplification reached 130%, and a force of 13,000 catties could be exerted! Comparable to the power of a first-class spiritual warrior, this was King Chen's greatest gain.
"Boom boom boom......" In an instant, Wang Chen and Ba Gong Feng clashed, their palms colliding, the thunderous sound unceasing, the fierce wind raging, the intensity unmatched.
"Collapsing Mountain Fist!" The twenty consecutive overlapping wave palms still made Wang Chen's body feel a hint of fatigue, and he switched to the Collapsing Mountain Fist instead.
For the twenty Overlapping Wave Palms, Wang Chen wanted to take it out and engage in a stalemate battle with ease, at least he needed to enter the third stage of physical body refinement.
Although the power of Bōzan Ken is not as great as that of Chōei, under Wang Chen's nearly perfect performance, it flows like clouds and water, like waves and tides, with unparalleled ferocity.
"Little one, draw your sword!" After exchanging over a dozen moves, the Eighth Master was also excited, laughing as he said.
At this moment, the eight guardians were extremely excited in their hearts, controlling their strength from seventh-tier True Martial Artist to eighth-tier True Martial Artist and then to ninth-tier True Martial Artist. Finally, they controlled their strength at the level of a first-tier Spiritual Martial Artist and exchanged blows with Wang Chen continuously. Surprisingly, they found that this little guy was not at any disadvantage! This is absolutely surprising, a big surprise.
This is enough to illustrate that Wang Chen's current combat power, fully exerted, can completely defeat a 9th-tier True Martial Artist and has the strength to fight against a 1st-tier Spiritual Martial Artist. Although this battle was mostly a defeat, it was already enough for him to be proud of.
A Seventh-Order True Martial Artist has the strength to fight against a First-Order Spiritual Martial Artist, truly a monstrous talent.
Upon hearing Ba Gong's words, Wang Chen didn't hesitate and pulled out the giant sword Chi Yan inserted into the ground beside him. With a loud roar, he shouted: "Cang Lang!"
High-level sword technique: Tianxuan Slash, the first move Changlang responds to the sound and comes out. Suddenly, the sword edge howls, piercing and sharp, white light flashes, dazzling, drawing a trajectory, like waves, continuously unfolding.
"Give me a break!" A moment later, the Eighth Master let out a soft shout, his hands forming a palm shape, continuously overlapping and intersecting. Just as Wang Chen's giant sword was about to strike, his palms suddenly burst forth, and in one-thousandth of a second, he accurately exerted force, fiercely clamping the giant sword between his hands.
"...Go!" With a sudden burst of strength, the Eight Venerables pushed their giant swords forward and then suddenly thrust them backwards with a loud hum.
In an instant, Wang Chen flew backward with his sword!
Thud thud thud...... After continuously retreating more than ten steps, he finally managed to stop himself, panting heavily.
"Haha, kid, not bad at all! Being able to exchange blows with me for so long with only the strength of a first-tier Spiritual Warrior, you're already the number one person below True Martial Artist!" The Eighth Elder said with satisfaction, nodding his head as he looked at Wang Chen.
On the other side, Wu Gong's display of his five elements was also a feast for the eyes. This was the first time he had truly seen Wang Chen unleash all his combat strength, and this sight instantly left him overjoyed and genuinely shocked.
This kid's combat power is simply abnormal. Is he a true martial artist? Looking at his fighting skills, saying that he is a 7th rank true martial artist would be unbelievable to anyone.
This frenzied battle, this frantic fight, this powerful fighting strength is completely comparable to the Ninth-Grade True Martial Artist, and it's hard to find an opponent under the Spiritual Martial Artist.
"A first-class spiritual warrior?" Upon hearing the Eight Venerables' words, Wang Chen's eyebrows furrowed slightly, revealing a hint of disappointment.
It was just the strength of a first-class spiritual warrior? Such strength is enough to make Wang Chen unable to resist! Especially the last move, directly using both hands to seal his long sword, making him unable to advance or retreat, and finally being shaken back. If it were other spiritual warriors, in a real battle, Wang Chen would have definitely received a fatal blow just now.
"It seems there's still a huge gap!" Wang Chen sighed after a moment. The difference between the True Martial Artist and the Spiritual Martial Artist was really enormous, completely incomparable.
However, Wang Chen seemed to have forgotten what kind of person Ba Gongfeng was, how many years he had lived, how many battles he had fought, and how many dangers he had encountered.
The experience honed between life and death is not something that others can match. How could an ordinary Lingwu practitioner possibly have the eyesight and experience of a Ba Gong? Even if it's an ordinary Zunwu practitioner, wanting to achieve what Ba Gong has achieved with one hand is simply impossible.
It requires absolute judgment and sufficient eyesight, to grasp the timing just right, accurate to one-thousandth of a second, otherwise once there is even a slight mistake, it will be fatal.
"Haha, kid, don't be discouraged, you're not bad at all. Yeah, it's just that your experience is a bit lacking, the path of fierce battle you've taken requires more experience to work! Otherwise, being too rigid will only lead to breaking, and when necessary, experience is truly the king's way. Fight some more, go through a few life-or-death tests, and you'll get better and better!"
It seems like Ba Gongfeng felt Wang Chen's loss and said with a mixture of laughter and tears.
This kid has high demands on himself. If it were an ordinary person, they would be over the moon with their current achievements, but this kid is frowning and looking worried.
But it is precisely this unsatisfactory heart that has been persisting in Wang Chen's progress, and the eight supplies are still very relieved.
The mainland is not short of talents, but what it lacks are warriors with perseverance and those who constantly strive for improvement and never feel satisfied. Wang Chen is such a person. He possesses the most precious spirit of a warrior and the greatest wealth of a warrior.
