Immortal Martial Saint, starting with unlimited stat points

"The Awakening Realm!" Upon hearing Zhou Chen's words, the disciples exclaimed in surprise.

A flicker of excitement crossed Gao Tian's eyes, followed by a hint of melancholy.

He has cultivated for over twenty years, and although he doesn't have everything he could want, he has plenty of resources. Yet, he is still stuck at the Great Perfection of Marrow Cleansing.

Zhou Chen had only been cultivating for a few years at most, and before joining the martial arts school, he had not even reached the Inner Strength realm. Now, he had broken through to the Enlightenment realm.

"Perhaps, this is what genius is?"

But Zhou Chen was, after all, a disciple of the Crimson Flame Martial Arts School. Gao Tian took a few deep breaths, suppressed his emotions, and revealed a hint of joy.

Now that Zhou Chen has broken through and gained enlightenment, given time he may be able to rival his master's elusive enemy. In that case, the martial arts school's biggest predicament will naturally be resolved.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he stared blankly at Zhou Chen.

"Junior Brother Zhou, on what day did you break through?" Gao Tian asked eagerly.

About ten days ago.

"Ten days ago!" Gao Tian's eyes lit up, then he gave a wry smile. "Junior Brother Zhou, since you have already broken through and opened your mind, why didn't you inform our master sooner?"

In order to save Yi Yan's face, Gao Tian did not directly mention that Yi Yan had been tossing and turning at night because of the faint aura of an awakened martial artist that could be detected in the middle of the night.

In retrospect, it turns out that Zhou Chen made a blunder.

-----------------

In the distance, after being repeatedly thwarted by arrows, Bai Buzi's face darkened. He glared at Zhou Chen's location, his figure flashing as he attempted to catch the official seal.

Just then, a loud shout rang out.

With the time bought by Zhou Chen and Yi Yan, the Qi Opening martial artists from the three major families finally arrived.

The five men were enraged and unleashed deadly attacks.

Bai Buzi and the man in the blue mask moved like ghosts, flitting about like willow leaves amidst the five men's attacks, yet they were not hit by any of their blows.

"Old Chen, hurry and find the official seal, don't let the thieves get their hands on it." Li Mingde blocked Bai Buzi's way, not giving an inch.

With the laws of the Great Qian Dynasty in place, and the official seals concerning the lives of everyone present, no one dared not to do their utmost.

Seeing that Li Mingde and the other three had blocked the two awakened martial artists of the Wusheng Sect, Chen Wen flashed to the ground and searched for the missing official seal.

Just then, Zhou Chen fired several more arrows to support Yi Yan, who was being suppressed by Chi Chengzi.

"Senior Brother Gao, let's go find the official seal." Zhou Chen activated his spiritual tracking ability, and a burst of brilliant golden energy entered his senses, which was the location of the official seal that had been thrown to the ground.

After learning that Zhou Chen had broken through and opened his mind, Gao Tian, ​​Yi Lianxing, and the others had already been completely obedient to him.

Although they both entered the martial arts school early, both schools and sects prioritize strength.

Logically, they should be calling Zhou Chen "Senior Brother" by now.

A group of people followed Zhou Chen's directions and walked through the streets full of strange Ash-type people.

Some of these strange people were transformed from members of the Unborn Cult, while others were infected and transformed by the ashes of calamity within the bodies of deceased members.

Regardless of one's past status, once tainted by the ashes of calamity, there is only one path left: to become ashes.

"There!" Shi Feng spotted a patch of brilliant gold on the ground not far away, being kicked around by the mindless Ash Monster.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked over, their hands flashing with the shadows of their staffs, sweeping away the strange ash-covered figures within a radius of about ten feet.

"Junior Brother Zhou, hurry and fetch the official seal."

Zhou Chen moved swiftly, darting through the sea of ​​monstrous creatures like a fish.

Now that he has broken through to enlightenment, although he has not yet mastered the method of flying, his speed is already beyond the reach of these superhuman monsters who are at most strong internally.

In just a few breaths, the official seal was within reach.

The Moonlight Staff slammed into the ground, and a visible wave of scorching heat emanated from Zhou Chen, resembling an ever-expanding red halo.

The Ash-colored monsters that touched the aura around them seemed to be struck by a tremendous force, and they all fell backward.

Before he could even collect the official seal, goosebumps rose rapidly on Zhou Chen's back, as if a cold glint was piercing from afar.

Without bothering to pick up the official seal, Zhou Chen stomped his feet on the ground and soared into the air like an arrow, reaching a height of two or three zhang.

Immediately afterwards, steel needles shot from an extremely far distance, embedding themselves in the ground where Zhou Chen had just stood moments before.

"Hehehe, what a brilliant move, Wildfire Spreads." A high-pitched voice drifted over, tinged with mockery.

Zhou Chen looked in the direction of the sound and saw a slender figure wearing the robes of the Wusheng Sect flying from a distance and slowly landing.

"You must be Gao Tian, ​​the eldest disciple of Old Man Yi. I didn't expect you to break through to the Enlightenment stage so quickly. Your face is still quite youthful." Tong Yu sized up Zhou Chen, like a hunter who had been lying in ambush in the mountains, eyeing the prey that had stepped into his trap.

"Who are you?" Zhou Chen asked slowly, his feet shifting occasionally, always facing Tong Yu head-on, revealing no flaw.

"What, that old bastard Yi Yan didn't tell you who I am?" Tong Yu's face showed displeasure, but then he said smugly, "That's right, I injured him so badly, how could he have the nerve to tell you disciples about it?"

Just then, Gao Tian and the others broke through the encirclement of the monstrous Jiehui and approached Zhou Chen's side.

Gao Tianda saw Tong Yu appear from afar and hurriedly shouted, "Junior Brother Zhou, this is the one who attacked Master! I didn't expect him to have joined the Wusheng Sect!"

"Watch out for his steel needles, they have..."

Before Gao Tian could finish speaking, Zhou Chen suddenly moved.

The long staff, like a dragon, pierced straight at Tong Yu.

Upon hearing Gao Tian address Zhou Chen, Tong Yu immediately realized he had mistaken the person for someone else.

Just as he was about to fire the steel needles to kill Gao Tian, ​​Zhou Chen attacked before he could even raise his hand.

He flicked his wrist from his sleeve, revealing a soft sword. Infused with true energy, it writhed like a silver snake, coiling around Zhou Chen's long staff.

After just one exchange, Tong Yu's expression changed drastically.

"When Yi Yan left the Crimson Flame Sect, he only inherited the staff technique. How can this kid's physical strength be so powerful?"

The soft sword, which was wrapped around the long staff, was shaken by the immense force and almost lost its grip. Tong Yu's face was gloomy, and he silently poured his true energy into the soft sword to strengthen it.

"Judging from this kid's movements, he can only rely on jumping and leaping, clearly he's just entered the initial stage. Just by brute force, we could wear him down!"

Tong Yu flicked his wrist, loosening the soft sword from the long staff. He then sidestepped and thrust straight at the staff.

Despite the danger, Zhou Chen remained calm and pushed the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts to its limit, causing his body to grow rapidly, becoming three times more robust than before.

The next moment, the long staff swept straight towards Tong Yu's head.

Tong Yu felt the strong wind blowing past his ears and frowned.

I thought I had picked a pushover, but it turns out he's a tough nut to crack, even stronger than Yi Yan.

He ducked to avoid the sweeping attack, his soft sword slicing like a silver snake close to the ground, aiming straight for Zhou Chen's heel.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen stepped back a few paces, but the silver snake soft sword at his feet followed closely like a leech.

In a flash, Zhou Chen had a sudden inspiration and slammed the Moonlight Staff into the ground.

Under the perception of the psychic ability, the tip of the stick struck the soft sword precisely, as if hitting the silver snake's vital spot.

"Not good!" Tong Yu's heart sank the moment his soft sword was struck and stopped.

Immediately afterwards, a scorching wave of air erupted and crashed into him without any obstruction.

"Bang!" Tong Yu was thrown away by the shockwave, his face flushed and his breathing unsteady.
