Zhang Bin did not stop cultivating. Instead, he immediately took out a Spirit Stone, held it in his mouth, and began to diligently practice the Qingmu Longevity Technique.
He had now reached the Initial Liquid Realm. His body had undergone a strange transformation, allowing him to absorb Spiritual Energy and convert it into True Qi at a much faster rate.
The Spirit Stone in his mouth slowly melted, turning into Spiritual Energy that his body absorbed. Strands of True Qi appeared, and Zhang Bin gathered all of them into his Dantian.
A fierce wind formed from True Qi surged from his numerous meridians, blending into the Heaven and Earth of his Dantian. This increased the concentration and pressure of the True Qi.
Only when the pressure increased could the realm be stabilized.
Otherwise, once the coldness in his Dantian passed, the liquefied True Qi would vaporize and revert to its gaseous state. Afterward, one would have to consume a Liquefaction Pill to turn the True Qi back into a liquid.
Therefore, this was the most crucial step in reaching the Liquid State.
Cultivating during this period of relatively low pressure was the only way to increase the True Qi in his Dantian. This would rapidly raise the pressure and prevent all the liquefied True Qi from reverting to its gaseous state. At worst, at least a portion would remain liquid.
As long as some of his True Qi remained in liquid form, he would still be in the Liquid State. Only then could he, with a thought, freely convert his True Qi between its liquid and gaseous forms.
For ordinary cultivators, reaching the Liquid State was a major event. They had to prepare True Essence Pills or other Elixirs, and if not, then Spirit Stones, to rapidly increase the True Qi in their Dantian. They also needed a sect elder to act as a protector.
But Zhang Bin, alone and unsupported, could not worry about such things.
Fortunately, he was cultivating the Qingmu Longevity Technique, so he was unlikely to suffer Qi deviation. Although he had no more True Essence Pills, he did have Spirit Stones—and Top-Grade ones at that.
He cultivated nonstop until nightfall, by which time he had completely stabilized his realm. He had also almost completely refined the entire Spirit Stone. Previously, refining a single Spirit Stone would have taken him many days.
This showed that upon reaching the Liquid State, one could accumulate True Qi very quickly, as long as they had sufficient cultivation resources.
Zhang Bin stopped cultivating, stood up, and suddenly threw a punch into the air.
WHOOSH…
A powerful burst of wind exploded outwards.
"Master, your punch has reached the strength of ten bulls," Tutu's voice echoed in Zhang Bin's mind.
In the past, Zhang Bin's punching strength was around eight bulls. Now that he had reached the Initial Liquid Realm, it had increased by two bulls—a significant improvement.
Then, Zhang Bin tested his speed. Although the room was too small for a proper test, he still managed to get a rough result: 100 meters per second, an improvement of 20 meters per second.
The power of any cultivator, Superpower User, or Gene Transformation Human is mainly manifested in two aspects: strength and speed.
The reason Zhang Bin had been no match for the masked woman, who had nearly killed him, was because he had not yet reached the Liquid State. His speed and strength were far inferior to hers, rendering even his marvelous Special Abilities of little use.
Now that he had broken through to the Liquid State, his previously stagnant strength and speed had finally improved tremendously.
He had become much more powerful.
A Bamboo Sword appeared in his hand as if from nowhere, and he swiftly thrust it forward.
SWISH SWISH SWISH…
In just an instant, he had stabbed countless times.
Tutu's analysis came back: his sword speed had reached an astonishing 44 strikes per second. An improvement of about one-tenth from before.
But, of course, this still wasn't enough.
Zhang Bin circulated his Longevity Qi, cautiously stimulating the nervous systems in his arms. Because of the breakthrough, his body had grown stronger, and his nervous system could be enhanced once more.
Half an hour later, he had basically reached his limit.
When he tested his sword speed again, it had reached a terrifying 48 strikes per second.
"Hahaha… I've finally mastered the 'Lightning Third Sword—Sword Shatter Foe'!" Zhang Bin burst into excited laughter, his face lit with immense joy.
This was one of his greatest trump cards and a source of his confidence. This was because it was essentially the maximum sword speed for a Liquid State Cultivator. It meant that even when facing a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Liquid State, his sword speed would not be inferior; he might even be slightly faster.
He then carefully examined his Divine Sense. This Special Ability was truly magical. Without releasing spiritual power or even using his eyes, he only needed to calm his mind to naturally sense everything within a ten-meter radius.
However, Divine Sense wasn't X-ray vision, so he couldn't see inside walls or sense the situation on the floors below. Beyond ten meters, everything was a blur.
But having such an ability during a fight gave him a huge advantage. Sneaking up on him would be harder than ascending to the heavens.
It was a pity, though, that his Divine Sense ability was still too shallow, only reaching a mere ten meters. Yet, Zhang Bin was already very satisfied, because as long as he trained diligently, it would improve.
Moreover, as his cultivation level rose, the range of his Divine Sense would also expand.
Next, he began testing his Telekinesis.
The results came quickly. His Telekinesis had indeed received a significant boost. Previously, he could only lift objects weighing 250 kilograms, but now he could lift 500 kilograms, and his endurance had doubled.
It improved by this much? Now I should be able to fly swiftly using Sword Control, but I wonder how long I can sustain it? Zhang Bin's face was full of pleasant surprise.
As long as he could fly swiftly using Sword Control, escaping Tokyo would become much easier. The trouble was, he still had to rescue Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue.
Immediately after, he began to carefully sense and test another new Special Ability that had appeared. However, no matter how he tried, he still couldn't identify what it was.
Could it be that the ability is still too weak, making it difficult to discover?
Despite this, Zhang Bin didn't give up. An additional Special Ability meant another powerful trump card that could save his life at a critical moment. Knowing his enemies were unprecedentedly powerful, how could he dare to be the slightest bit negligent?
After pondering for a while, he sat cross-legged and began earnestly cultivating the Pure Heart Mystique. This was a Cultivation Technique for developing Special Abilities. It was intended to awaken them prematurely, so perhaps it would help him sense and identify his new one.
He felt as if he had become a crystal ball in the hands of a goddess, impurities rapidly being expelled from his body. His heart grew exceptionally tranquil and his mind became an empty canvas. It was as if all worldly troubles and noise had vanished, as if all danger and powerful enemies had ceased to exist.
He entered a world of tranquility.
In tranquility, wisdom is born.
Suddenly, a flash of realization surged through his mind.
Zhang Bin opened his eyes and burst out laughing. "Hahaha… I finally know what my new ability is! This ability is truly awesome!"
