Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 339 Power
As his strength increases, he will spend more and more time cultivating under the giant frost tree.

The spiritual energy is abundant, and there's also Mammoth Lake, making it far superior to cultivating in Rucheng.

These demonized machines are something we have to buy, whether we want to or not.

Zhou Leng glanced at the civilian contribution value.

Recently, my contribution has increased again, which translates to about 450 million Dragon Kingdom Yuan, just enough to repay the loan from Azure Flame.

If I were to use the Crimson Flame again and accumulate enough money, it would take a very long time, severely delaying my cultivation progress.

Zhou Leng thought for a moment and decided to owe Cang Fei Zhi Yan the money for now, and talk about it after the auction of the resources from the Beast World.

So, with a wave of his hand, he purchased master-level enchanted equipment and used the old equipment as a discount.

In two hours, he spent a total of 430 million to buy eight pieces of Grandmaster-level magical equipment, almost emptying his cash reserves.

We'll talk about the remaining magical equipment later.

All the equipment was packed into the enchanted weight-reducing box and then stored in the spatial magic bag.

As Zhou Leng walked back, he calculated in his mind.

"The True Liquid stage requires the Baoyuan Pill, which compresses true qi. We are still short of more than ninety pills, which is more than ninety million."

"The price of the Concentration Pill starts at two million, and is close to one hundred and eighty million."

"Peiyuan Pills should be kept on hand; buy at least forty or fifty."

"My progress is a bit too fast. Now I need to start preparing the Blood Fusion Pill, the Meridian Strengthening Pill, and the Iron Wall Pill for the Blood Shaking Stage."

The Blood Fusion Pill can comprehensively enhance the blood's capabilities, allowing it to hold more true qi, and greatly improves the abilities of martial artists in the Blood Shaking stage.

After the blood-vibration period, the total amount and flow rate of true qi increase, so it is necessary to strengthen the meridians.

The meridians were simply unable to withstand the high-speed flow of true qi.

You must use the Gumai Dan (a traditional Chinese medicine formula).

The same applies to blood vessels.

Iron Wall Pill can strengthen blood vessels.

Experts have calculated that the impact of the innate Qi and blood of the Zhenxue (a type of blood-inducing energy) on blood vessels is roughly equivalent to a strong adult using a half-pound claw hammer to strike with moderate force.

Even a piece of iron can be deformed by being struck.

The strength of blood vessels determines a martial artist's sustained combat ability.

Zhou Leng felt this deeply.

During the fierce battle with the ferocious beast, the power of the innate level far exceeded that before.

When you exert all your strength, your body becomes extremely hot due to the impact of your blood and qi.

Humans instinctively lower their temperature by sweating, but martial artists sweat so intensely that the sweat is expelled from their pores as steam.

If muscles and pores are not strong enough, simply expelling gas can damage the body.

Not to mention the blood and qi turbulence after the blood-vibration period.

Power does not arise from nothing; it inevitably creates a reaction force. In the world of martial arts, one must occasionally respect Newton's principles.

Just like light-footed kung fu, speed inevitably creates destructive force on the ground; flying over grass is not as fast as running on the ground.

Only when one reaches the Grandmaster level, when true qi manifests externally and separates from the body into different systems, can one truly achieve rapid running without damaging the ground.

Upon reaching the Martial Saint level, one can disregard many mechanical limitations to a certain extent, but in essence, it utilizes martial arts power in accordance with the principles of stress, rather than subverting mechanics.

It is said that only by reaching the level of a Void God can one change the laws of heaven and earth to a certain extent.

Because the intensity of the battles, both innate and subsequent, is too great, the body is extremely prone to injury. Therefore, it is necessary to use strong healing techniques and not rely solely on elixirs for treatment.

"After the counterattack is over, we'll go to Xiantian Mountain. After studying there, we'll immediately find a way to get the heart of a tree spirit or even the heart of life from the Tree Spirit World..."

Without the enhancement of cultivation techniques or treasures, the Star Phoenix Rejuvenation Technique's effects are rather mediocre.

After setting up the demonized equipment, he returned alone to the enormous Innate Martial Arts Hall.

During class time, no innate martial artists practice.

Zhou Leng walked towards the innate weightlifting platform.

First, go to the back and carefully check the data on the nameplate. The maximum force of this weightlifting platform is 200 tons.

Walk up there with confidence and start with weightlifting without using true qi.

With a loud rumble, the demonized steel plate above slowly pressed down.

Zhou Leng's muscles suddenly swelled up, stretching his camouflage uniform into a tight-fitting suit.

"Di..."

The weightlifting platform detected that it had reached its limit, the pressure gradually decreased, and the enchanted steel plate slowly retracted.

Step off the weightlifting platform and look at the display screen.

25.7 tons.

The data from Zhou Lengsheng's last weightlifting session without true qi during his prime.

12 tons.

It has more than doubled.

This weight means that without using internal energy, one can use only their physical body to treat an ordinary family car like a toy.

A typical family car weighs only about two or three tons.

Go back in and practice Qi Lifting.

The last time I used my inner energy to lift weights during my prime, it was 45 tons.

Zhou Leng took a deep breath and activated the Star-Gazing Technique.

The true energy of the stars, like a river bursting its banks, circulates within the body.

chi chi chi...

Inside the clothes, true energy expanded, and a few seconds later, the clothes tore into strips of cloth.

The demonized steel plate is pressed down.

Squeak... squeak...

The force of over a hundred tons collided with the demonized steel plate, producing a subtle, unusual sound.

"Di Di..."

A shrill sound was heard.

Zhou Leng stepped off the weightlifting platform and looked at the display screen again.

119.9 tons.

It's just a little short of 120 tons. A heavy tank weighs an average of 60 tons, so it can lift two.

This means that if Zhou Leng encountered a tank on a battlefield with firearms, he could easily knock it over.

Then, he sent the data to Shanheyuan and Zhang Xinglie and asked them questions.

Zhang Xinglie replied quickly.

"I don't compare data with you, I only compare destructive power. My Mountain-Slaying Battle Body is a killing body, not a training body."

A little eye-rolling emoji was added at the end.

Shanheyuan just returned from the world of giants and said to wait half an hour.

Half an hour later, Shanheyuan sent the data.

Lifting 28.1 tons without internal energy.

It is 2.4 tons higher than Zhou Leng.

True Qi weightlifting, 122.4 tons.

It is 2.5 tons higher.

Shanheyuan commented, "It is clear that my physical fitness is stronger than yours, but your qi and blood strength are already stronger than mine. I estimate that in another year or two, you will surpass me in every aspect."

"You gained a lot of benefits from your trip back to the world of giants, didn't you?"

"I drank some dragon blood and am about to activate my dragon bloodline, and I also received another blessing from my ancestors. I also visited the ancestral tomb of giants. It's a pity you don't have giant blood, so you couldn't go in, otherwise I would have definitely invited you. But you must have had some extraordinary encounters too, right?"

"How did you tell?"

"The essence of the Giant Body Aberration is that the human body imitates the structure of the giants, rather than becoming a giant. Even a normal True Liquid Innate Giant is not as strong as you are now. Only a Demigod Innate Giant of the same level can be stronger than you."

"I was lucky; I had some minor adventures." Zhou Leng couldn't bring himself to tell anyone about the world of ferocious beasts.

"By the way, the Great Battlefield is about to open. You and Zhang Xinglie must not miss it. This is the most important battlefield for the giants and dragons in the Innate Realm. Every time it opens, you will enter a corner of the Great Battlefield. If you are lucky, you will encounter the core area and you may have a great opportunity to activate the Dragon Blood Body."

"I've heard about it too. If I have the chance, I'll definitely participate. Can drinking dragon blood activate a blood-powerful body?"

“Mine was specially made by my dad. If you drink dragon blood, it might increase your chances a little bit.”

“Then I’ll make blood sausage from the dragon’s blood and eat it as food. By the way, are you going to participate in the counterattack?” Zhou Leng asked.

"Yes, I'll attend. Are Zhang Xinglie and the others coming?"

“Zhang Xinglie should participate in the counterattack of the Old Capital Demon City, while we should participate in the Water Island Demon City.”

"It's a pity. I hope we can meet again in the future and fight side by side."

"There will definitely be a chance! Let's try to enter the great battlefield together and wreak havoc."

"it is good!"

After Zhou Leng finished speaking, he realized that the ferocious beast medicine had aroused his warlike nature again, so he remained calm.

Open the Martial Arts City in the Demonized Wristwatch.

Finally, a new section has been added.

Xiantian Mountain.

It has many sub-sections, some of which I've heard of, and some I've never seen before.

Click on the innate ranking.

Innately, there are city rankings and country rankings.

From the very beginning, there are only national and world rankings.

Zhou Leng went inside and made some minor adjustments, displaying his name in Xiantian Mountain as "Xinhe".

In this way, others will not be able to know Zhou Leng's actual ranking and level.

Zhou Leng slowly flipped through the demonized weightlifting data of the innate masters, and there were even separate lists.

Ranking of Innate Strength.

Over the past forty years since the beginning of martial arts civilization, a large number of innate masters have been accumulated.

Due to years of fighting, the population of the Dragon Kingdom is less than one-third of its peak, but it is still counted in the hundreds of millions.

Even if everyone possessed the seed of true qi, the total number of innate martial artists would still be far less than 1%.

However, the mortality rate of those with innate mastery is far lower than that of those below innate mastery.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the martial arts students from Yunhua, Jinjing, and the First Military Academy can gradually advance to the Innate Realm.

This has led to a continuous increase in the number of innate masters, with the total number now exceeding one million.

The list only shows the rankings of the top 100 million people.

The fourth stage of Xiantian Realm, true liquid, blood shock, bone and muscle forging.

Even a master of innate talent, without various extraordinary physical abilities or extra strength, can only lift more than 25 tons by reaching the final stage of innate muscular strength and without true qi.

With true qi weightlifting, one only needs to strengthen their innate bones to reach 120 tons.

Zhou Leng flipped through the Innate Power Ranking, looking at the sections with no True Qi and those with True Qi.

A person with 25 tons of innate strength without true qi would likely rank around 50,000th on the list.

On the list of innate true qi strength, a strength of 120 tons ranks outside the top 30.

Zhou Leng then looked at the list that better represented innate strength.

Innate Martial Arts Index Ranking.

Unfortunately, without official testing, the index remains at 11, making it ineligible for the innate index evaluation and thus not listed.

"Once we reach Xiantian Mountain, we can conduct the test in the name of Xinhe to determine our martial arts index..."

“震血先天的指数是16到20，锻骨先天的指数是21到25，筋肉先天是26到30。”

"Among them, the number of those with an index of 20 or above exceeds 30, which is similar to my ranking in Qi Lifting."

“My current martial arts index is definitely over 16. Based on the comparison with the battle with the ferocious beast, it is at least 18, or even 19, but it should not exceed 20.”

"However, there is still a slight discrepancy between the index and actual combat. My actual combat ability has always been a little bit stronger than the index."

"Once the index reaches 31, we won't have to worry about so much anymore."

After briefly reviewing the data from Xiantian Mountain, Zhou Leng left Ruda and headed straight for the vegetable market.

I recently harvested dragon blood, serpent leader blood, ferocious beast blood, etc. I'll keep half to drink directly and use the other half to make blood sausage.

It needs three layers of casing, otherwise it won't hold up.

They took the blood sausage and found a restaurant with a large pot to cook it, making several large pots in total.

Because the blood was so foul-smelling that the odor permeated the pot, it was impossible to clean and a new pot had to be used.
