High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

"Let's first refine and absorb this residual energy completely, and see what level we can achieve."

Energy trickles in, the bones emit a faint hum, and the tempering process slowly but steadily improves.

Su Jie carefully sensed every change within his body, as if the most precise instrument were measuring it.

After an unknown amount of time, when the last trace of residual energy was completely refined, he clearly "saw" that boundary.

"The remaining energy has been completely refined, accounting for approximately 17.2% of the total energy required to break through to the Xuan-level Martial Bone."

Without the slightest hesitation, he grabbed another brand-new bottle of bone-tempering liquid, tilted his head back, and gulped it down!

A cool yet powerful energy exploded instantly, rapidly merging with the 17.2% base, and the energy level began to soar!

"57.2%!" One bottle of Bone Tempering Liquid directly replenished 40% of the progress!

Without stopping, he grabbed the last bottle of bone-tempering liquid and poured it in again!

The torrent of energy surged even more fiercely, charging wildly toward perfection!

"97.2%!" The second bottle of Bone Tempering Liquid has replenished another 40% of the progress!

At this moment, his body was surging with energy, and he was only 2.8% away from perfection!

"Just one step away!" Su Jie's mind raced, his calculations running at full power. On the system panel, his Qi and Blood Essence instantly decreased by 400 points, and at the same time, he didn't hesitate to activate and burn the 1000 million points of stored Qi and Blood reserves!

A massive amount of energy, totaling nearly 1400 million units of Qi and blood, was precisely injected into the critical energy torrent that had already reached 97.2% of its full potential.

100%! Energy complete!

The final rebirth to break through to the Xuan-level Martial Bone has begun!

"Boom—!!!"

This time, the commotion far exceeded that before! If breaking through to the Yellow level was like a volcanic eruption, then breaking through to the Profound level was like the entire star field collapsing and being reborn within his body!

The pain intensified more than tenfold! It was an extreme torment, as if one's soul had been thrown into an eternal furnace to be forged.

Every bone disintegrated amidst wails, yet, supported by boundless energy and immortal vitality, it reformed into an even more profound form!

Su Jie's body twisted violently, his skin cracked inch by inch, and blood gushed out like a spring. In an instant, he turned into a blood gourd, only able to utter wild, beast-like groans from deep in his throat.

His consciousness was adrift in an endless sea of ​​pain, almost completely lost.

It was only thanks to his martial arts heart (blue) that he managed to hold onto the last bit of clarity in his mind, and the immortal vitality emanating from the immortal martial bone in his left arm, that his life force, which was about to collapse, was held up by the strongest rope.

Time seemed to stand still. It was impossible to tell how much time had passed; it could have been a moment, or it could have been eternity.

When the excruciating pain that could shatter one's soul receded like a tide, Su Jie felt as if all his bones had been removed.

He collapsed to the ground, unable to move even a finger; only the faint rise and fall of his chest proved that he was still alive.

He lay on the ground like a lump of mud, and it took him a long time to regain his senses.

He struggled to look inward at himself.

The entire skeleton had undergone another transformation! It now possessed a faint dark gold hue, and the natural patterns on the bones were more complex and profound, as if they contained some kind of rule of heaven and earth.

The Xuan-level Martial Bone is complete!

[Ding! Detected that the host has tempered their entire martial bone to the Xuan level! Base combat power +600 million points!]

[Current base combat power: 1300 million points! After the 20% bonus for Extreme Foundation Establishment, the actual base combat power is: 1560 million points!]

Su Jie felt the power within his body, like a sleeping ancient beast. Although his body was still weak, his eyes shone with an unprecedented brilliance!

"Profound-level Martial Bone! 15.6 million combat power! Hahaha! Federal Parliament? Hearing? Yue Wuji, the First War God? I wonder if my combat power will scare you then?"

"I wonder if Yue Wuji, who has been roaming through dungeons, has reached a combat power of ten million? What is the Federation's honorific title for martial artists with a combat power exceeding ten million?"

"The War Emperor? Let's see who dares to mess with me, the War Emperor Su, on this star-studded stage from now on!"

Su Jie sat up cross-legged and began to fully circulate the "Origin Breathing Technique," absorbing the rich energy within the stone hall to restore his greatly depleted body.

"I only have 1800 essences of qi and blood left to reach the Xuan-level martial bone... What kind of massive resources will be needed to reach the Earth-level and Heaven-level?" Su Jie felt a chill in his heart, but even more so, he felt excited and expectant.

"If resources aren't enough, then rob them, fight for them! This Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace instance world, and those unknown myriad realms, are my hunting grounds, Su Jie's hunting grounds!"

Since he could come here anytime in the future, Su Jie adjusted to the surge in power for a while, and with a thought, he used his preparatory disciple token to teleport back to the training room of the Seventh Biological Laboratory in Linjiang City.

He had barely appeared, and before he could even check the information on the personal terminal, Yang Baichuan rushed in, his face filled with unprecedented anxiety and anger.

"You brat! You're finally back! Something terrible has happened!"

Su Jie frowned and concealed his aura: "What's wrong, Uncle Yang? Have the demonic beasts invaded again?"

"It infuriates me even more than the monster invasion!" Yang Baichuan's beard trembled with rage. "Those old bastards, Robert E. Lee and Zhou Wenchang, launched their attack before Lord Yue even emerged from the instance world!"

They have joined forces with more than a dozen members of Congress to launch an emergency impeachment against you on charges including "endangering federal security," "unexplained origins of your cultivation technique," and "indiscriminate killing of federal war gods!"

"Oh?" Su Jie's eyes turned cold. "And then?"

"And then? They used emergency privileges, bypassed regular procedures, and directly dispatched the 'Federal Enforcement Team'! The team was led by Robert E. Lee's confidant, Zhou Han, a second-tier War God!"

They've already arrived in Linjiang and are on their way to the lab. They say they want to "invite" you to the Central Holy City to "cooperate with an investigation," but in reality, they just want to forcibly detain you!

Yang Baichuan said urgently, "They want to convict you before you even see Lord Yue! Think of something quickly, maybe you should hide in the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace?"

Upon hearing this, Su Jie was not alarmed at all; instead, he revealed a contemptuous smile.

"Hide? Why should I hide?"

He patted Yang Baichuan on the shoulder, his tone calm yet carrying a chilling undertone: "Uncle Yang, don't worry. Just a few flies. Perfect for testing how tough my tempered martial bones are."

Just then, a loud shout and the sound of energy colliding came from outside the laboratory.

"Federal law enforcement is on duty. Unauthorized personnel, get out of the way!"

"Where is Su Jie? Come out immediately for questioning! Otherwise, you will be charged with treason!"

The door to the training room was kicked open violently!

A tall, stern-faced middle-aged man in a federal law enforcement uniform barged in with a team of sharp-looking officers.

The middle-aged man at the head of the group was none other than Zhou Han, the God of War with a combat power of 210 million. He arrogantly swept his gaze around and finally landed on Su Jie.

"You're Su Jie?" Zhou Han raised his chin slightly, his tone clearly commanding. "By order of the Federal Supreme Council, come with us. You'd better not resist, otherwise..."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Jie slowly interrupted him, his tone tinged with amusement: "Otherwise what?"

Zhou Han's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and the oppressive aura of a second-level war god erupted from his body, attempting to intimidate Su Jie: "Otherwise, I have the right to kill you on the spot!"

The oppressive aura made Yang Baichuan feel breathless, but Su Jie was as calm as a gentle breeze, not even moving a muscle.

Su Jie picked at his ear, as if he'd heard a joke: "Kill them on the spot? You? You were nowhere to be seen when the demonic beasts invaded, but now you're here to act all high and mighty!"

Enraged by Su Jie's attitude, Zhou Han sneered, "Looks like you're going to have to suffer the consequences! Take him down!"

Two law enforcement officers behind him immediately stepped forward, holding specially made energy shackles, and were about to put them on Su Jie's hands.

Su Jie didn't even glance at the two men, but calmly looked at Zhou Han and said indifferently, "I'll count to three, then take your men and get out of my lab."
