Pure Martial Grandmasters have reached the zenith of this principle.
If I can make a breakthrough to the Grandmaster Realm, my overall strength will surely undergo a huge transformation, and even my Demon form could correspondingly evolve....
Lu Yuan's current Martial Arts foundation was dozens of times stronger than that of a regular Pure Martial Fighter. Once it underwent a qualitative change, the resulting increase in power would likely be astonishing. However, this process was also dozens of times harder than for the average person, requiring more energy and patience.
Lu Yuan exited the Consciousness Space and then checked his Fighter panel again. He discovered that after a simple sparring match with Xu Weiguo, his Experience Points for Martial God Strength, which had been stuck at Lv. 4, had grown significantly and were fast approaching Lv. 5. The experience points for many miscellaneous skills on the panel had also significantly increased.
Of course, what he felt had improved the most were things outside the panel—like his understanding of the Pure Martial path, and... True Intention!
WHOOSH—
He unleashed his True Intention—the Elephant God's True Intention.
The range of his Elephant God's True Intention, previously nearly 200 meters, had now shrunk to 180 meters. However, the pressure emanating from the Elephant God's True Intention hadn't diminished; instead, it had become even more massive and profound.
The quality of my Spiritual Power has increased, and my Martial Arts Intent has been tempered. It seems sparring with Grandmaster-level experts can expedite the transformation of Spiritual Power....
Lu Yuan reflected on this and then continued to construct his Hundred-eyed Dark Crow True Intention.
For the next six days, Xu Weiguo visited Lu Yuan daily. For three hours each day, they sparred, resolved doubts, and conducted research.
During these seven days, Lu Yuan felt as if his mind had completely settled. He set aside his other class panels and fully immersed himself in the role of a pure Ancient Martial Artist.
Through his interactions with Xu Weiguo, his proficiency in Pure Martial combat advanced by leaps and bounds, improving dramatically each day. He addressed many previously overlooked details, continually strengthening his Pure Martial foundation. His moves grew increasingly refined, the flaws in his techniques diminished, and his personal style gradually took shape.
He could also feel that he was getting closer and closer to the realm of a Pure Martial Grandmaster.
Up until now, three people had the greatest influence on Lu Yuan's Pure Martial path.
The first was Lin Zhiquin, who had laid his foundation as a Fighter and guided him into the realm of Ancient Martial Arts.
The second was Master Liudao Yuan, his true Martial Arts mentor, who had taught him a great deal.
The third was Swimming Dragon of the Dragon Sect, who had once guided Lu Yuan; the Dragon Sect's martial arts system also significantly influenced Lu Yuan's own Pure Martial system.
And then there was Xu Weiguo.
The fourth one.
Although Xu Weiguo was invited to help as a favor to Yu Wentong, the assistance he provided Lu Yuan surpassed the combined contribution of the previous three.
Because he was a Grandmaster.
Even the weakest Grandmaster possessed martial arts accomplishments, insights, and understanding that no average Fighter could hope to match.
BOOM!
Inside the large, fully enclosed Martial Arts field, two figures were fighting.
One distorted the air around him, an invisible Power Field expanding. Every move he made carried the air of a Grandmaster.
The other stood tall, his body flickering with a dark golden luster, exuding a profound and mysterious aura. His every punch and kick displayed immense power.
Their movements weren't exceptionally fast and were visible to the naked eye.
But every clash created a massive disturbance. Waves of energy rolled out, slamming against the super-alloy walls on all sides and producing thunderous rumbles.
Lu Yuan moved like a flood dragon, his body akin to a dark golden long knife, thrusting abruptly into Xu Weiguo's Grandmaster Power Field.
His fist, seemingly sheathed in flowing dark golden metal, was halted by an invisible wall of qi, freezing one meter from Xu Weiguo's face.
At this moment, a cold voice rang out.
"God Elephant Sect. Broken Realm!"
Instantly, an inexplicable, tremendous power erupted from the fist, shattering the invisible qi wall that blocked its path.
The fist punched straight through!
Xu Weiguo's eyelids twitched hard.
He swiftly raised his hands, Protective Universe Qi surging out like a waterfall to clamp Lu Yuan's fist.
Between fist and palms, dark gold and pure white collided, squeezed, and emitted an ear-piercing screech like scraping metal, sparks seemingly flying from the impact.
"Taming Tiger Sect. Four Tigers Style!"
Following Xu Weiguo's cold shout, four illusory, ferocious black tigers leaped from his body.
BOOM!
An invisible gale erupted, and a terrifying shockwave spread out, forcing Lu Yuan's figure back.
However, as he retreated, ripple-like patterns manifested on the surface of his skin. Leaving only a few shallow footprints, he came to a firm stop ten meters away.
The fight came to a close.
Xu Weiguo retracted his Grandmaster Power Field and Protective Universe Qi completely, his gaze toward Lu Yuan becoming extremely complicated.
During these seven days, he had personally witnessed the growth of the young man before him. The speed of his progress was monstrous.
On the first day, as a Grandmaster, he could still identify numerous imperfections and even inconsistencies and flaws in the young man's martial arts system. Then, with each passing day, these flaws diminished, and the inconsistencies were ironed out.
By the seventh day, today, the young man's martial arts had undergone several rounds of thorough refinement and improvement. His bearing and movements already exuded the air of a great master!
If word of this got out, Xu Weiguo believed the entire Ancient Martial Arts World would be shaken. Countless people would be aghast, and even those old figures in the Penglai Pavilion would be stunned and amazed.
"In these seven days, Lord Lu has nearly exhausted all the accumulation of decades that I had..." Xu Weiguo remarked with a complicated expression. And he was speaking the absolute truth.
He was a Grandmaster of the Taming Tiger Sect. By now, aside from a few of his unique secret arts and the final Five Tigers ultimate move of the Taming Tiger Sect's martial arts... Lu Yuan had witnessed practically all his other techniques.
"Master Xu has indeed worked hard," Lu Yuan said. He contemplated for a moment before speaking calmly, "After today, Master Xu, you need not come anymore. I will personally transfer another 200,000 Merit Points to you as thanks for your exhaustive instruction over these seven days."
"Two hundred thousand Merit..."
Even Xu Weiguo's pupils contracted slightly upon hearing this number. Having been a member of Yellow Bear for many years, he naturally knew how difficult Merit was to obtain. Grandmasters were still human; they needed to eat, and they certainly wouldn't turn down Merit.
Lu Yuan noticed the subtle shift in Xu Weiguo's emotions, smiled, and said, "I have a few final questions I'd like to ask you, Master Xu."
With the prospect of 200,000 Merit Points on the line, Xu Weiguo responded decisively, "Lord Lu, please ask whatever you wish. As long as it's something I know and am able to say, I will tell you everything without reservation."
"Good."
Lu Yuan nodded, then sat down on the floor directly with Xu Weiguo and had someone bring tea and refreshments.
Once everything was arranged, he slowly asked Xu Weiguo, "I'd like to understand the specific process of your breakthrough to the Grandmaster Realm, Master Xu?"
