Immortal Martial Saint, starting with unlimited stat points

Inside the Crimson Flame Martial Arts Hall, Chen Yunpeng hesitated for a moment before finally asking the question that had been bothering him.

"Junior brother, did you do the Black Wind Stronghold incident?"

"Yes," Zhou Chen replied. "I also want to thank Senior Brother for telling me the exact location of their stronghold. If I had to find it alone, it would have taken me a lot more time."

Chen Yunpeng was surprised to see Zhou Chen gloss over the matter so casually.

He then made no attempt to conceal anything and recounted in detail how Chen Wu had summoned him.

"A senior expert at the Enlightenment Realm?" Zhou Chen chuckled as he listened to Chen Yunpeng's speculation about Chen Wu's identity and strength.

"Senior Brother Chen, shouldn't you call him 'senior' and let us hear it?" he joked.

Chen Yunpeng glanced at Zhou Chen and said seriously, "Although I didn't reveal your identity, many people will definitely investigate it, especially the Li family behind Black Wind Stronghold. You need to be extra careful."

Seeing his serious expression, Zhou Chen lost his playful mood and nodded solemnly, "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother. I will be careful."

Seeing that he had taken it to heart, Chen Yunpeng did not linger.

These days, the Li family may not have figured out the reason for the destruction of Black Wind Stronghold. The power in the city has shrunk significantly, which is a great opportunity for him to seize the benefits. Every second he leaves, a lot of money is flowing away.

"Senior brother, perhaps in a few days I will truly become a master of the Enlightenment Realm?"

As Chen Yunpeng stepped out of the courtyard gate, he heard a shout from behind and waved, "Then I'll be waiting for you to back me up."

Time flies like an arrow, passing in the blink of an eye.

Aside from informing Uncle Sun and Xiao Hua that Black Wind Stronghold had been destroyed, Zhou Chen spent his days practicing martial arts.

The night was pitch black, like a giant net that captured all light.

Zhou Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, flipping through the animal skin scrolls he had seized from Black Wind Stronghold.

After a long while, the lights dimmed, and a cold, mechanical voice echoed in my ears.

[The "Amazing Step" (Beginner, 0%) has been included]

Zhou Chen looked at the information prompts on the panel and a smile appeared on his lips.

This animal skin scroll contains ancient cultivation techniques from who knows how many years ago. Some of the text has an ancient feel to it and is different from what we see today.

He spent the entire night, guessing and piecing together clues, before finally getting the gist of the scripture right and successfully having it included on the panel.

Without the help of the panel, Zhou Chen would have difficulty even verifying whether the general idea of ​​the technique he had figured out was correct, and it would have been extremely difficult to even get started.

Since the technique was compiled through reading the scriptures, the "Amazing Steps" technique has already reached the entry level.

Zhou Chen slowly closed his eyes, digesting the meaning of this scripture that had taken him to the beginner level.

After gaining a deeper understanding, he didn't open his eyes, but he stood up from the bed.

Footsteps, sometimes heavy and sometimes light, echoed through the small house.

After a long while, Zhou Chen finished comprehending all the essence of the Jinghong Step and realized why this technique had been suppressed at the bottom by Li Qing and the Black Wind Stronghold bandits.

Firstly, its scriptures contain many ancient characters, and their meanings are difficult to understand. Secondly, in order to cultivate this technique, one needs to open the acupoints on the soles of the feet. Therefore, the minimum cultivation level for cultivating this technique is the Opening Acupoints Realm.

On the surface, there were only three martial artists who had opened their acupoints in the entire Xingde County. When they encountered such a technique, Li Qing and the others neither understood its meaning nor had the true qi to open their acupoints. Over time, this technique was naturally shelved.

"It requires the cultivation level of the Opening Acupoint Realm to even begin, and this technique is actually much higher in rank than the Mountain Suppressing Stance." Zhou Chen was somewhat tempted as he looked at the realms that lay behind the Soaring Swallow Step.

He has not yet broken through to the Enlightenment Realm. What changes would occur if he were to forcibly add points to the Mastery Level using a Breakthrough Relic?

Zhou Chen's gaze fell on the end of the "Amazing Steps" section, and his eyes widened in surprise.

That incredibly familiar, dazzling gold "+" sign didn't appear after Jinghongbu.

Although upgrading the Crimson Flame True Technique consumed many breakthrough relics, there are still eight left.

Previously, improving a technique at the beginner level would have been more than enough, but now there is no option to improve.

"Is it because this cultivation technique requires too many breakthrough relics, or am I not yet enlightened enough to meet the basic conditions for advancing the cultivation technique's level?" Zhou Chen frowned, but there was nothing he could do.

Then, he pushed open the door and walked to the training ground outside the martial arts school. He regulated his qi and blood according to the incantation of the Jinghong Step and tried to take a step.

In the instant of activation, the Yongquan acupoints on the soles of the feet seemed to transform into two deep-sea whirlpools, frantically craving all the energy from the outside world.

However, at this time, Zhou Chen's cultivation level had not yet reached the stage of "opening the acupoints," his acupoints on the soles of his feet were not yet open, and he had no true qi to use in his body, so he could only circulate it in vain.

Even so, Zhou Chen did not stop. He took several steps in succession, and a deep tremor resounded on the training ground, as if ten thousand horses were galloping.

As the sound rang out, Zhou Chen's Yongquan acupoint, which had been idling for a long time, suddenly began to seek energy inward.

In an instant, endless blood energy was swallowed up by the acupoints under the feet, as if sinking into an endless black hole.

At the same time, Zhou Chen's clothes fluttered, and his walking speed was several times faster than before.

Under the moonlight, streaks of afterimages floated in the air and then dissipated.

In just a few breaths, Zhou Chen suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He was pale, his hands supporting his knees, and he was panting heavily.

Just now, he had a sudden inspiration and used his blood energy instead of true energy to activate the Amazing Step, which caused his vast blood energy to be completely devoured in just two or three breaths.

If he hadn't stopped in time, he might have been sucked dry and turned into a dried-up corpse if he had walked a few more steps.

The "senior master" who single-handedly destroyed Black Wind Stronghold was almost drained of his life force and died by a footwork technique.

Then it will really become a joke.

Zhou Chen returned to his house and swallowed several pills before his complexion improved slightly.

At this moment, recalling his speed when he used the "Amazing Steps," he was somewhat alarmed.

With such speed, if he were to face someone of the same level, his opponent would probably not even have a chance to react.

In other words, in a life-or-death situation, having such extreme speed is extremely useful, whether for a desperate fight or for escaping unscathed.

"It seems that the strength of the Enlightenment Realm is far superior to that of the Inner Strength Realm. Just a simple footwork technique almost drained all the blood and energy from my body." Zhou Chen sighed inwardly.

[Energy accumulation complete. Enter the Qiankun Realm?]

The panel notification sounded, and Zhou Chen nodded without hesitation.

The all-too-familiar white mist enveloped Zhou Chen.

The next moment, Zhou Chen stepped into the Qiankun Realm once again.

The Qiankun Realm remained as gray and desolate as ever.

Recently, Zhou Chen has been hunting down plague monsters on a large scale, which has greatly reduced the roars of monsters in the Qiankun Realm.

Upon entering the Qiankun Realm, Zhou Chen effortlessly deployed his spiritual tracking abilities.

After many days of hard work, the proficiency of the telepathic ability has accumulated to 85%. As long as a few more corresponding humanoid elite monsters are found, it can be upgraded to minor proficiency.

As the earliest acquired and even the most powerful divine ability, Zhou Chen was already looking forward to the new capabilities it would bring after its upgrade.

"Even the monsters have decreased recently?" Zhou Chen frowned as he analyzed the sensory information transmitted back by his telepathic abilities.

He took a deep breath, took out an old rattle drum from his pocket, and intended to use this item that could summon the mysterious peddler.
