Chapter 236: On the Eve of Breakthrough, Attempting to Step into the Perfect Realm!

Qin Shi drew that Perfect Grade Electric Shock Military Saber he had not used for a long time, black scabbard and red hilt, cold light overflowing.

Hum!

The blade trembled softly, like a child expressing joy and excitement, the four Divine Spirit Pillar Symbolic Emblems branded upon it lighting up one by one, emitting a faint golden radiance like a corona.

Qin Shi casually flourished a blade flower, the great air stirred and cut, bringing forth pitch-black silk-thread-like cracks.

"Not only am I growing, this military saber is also advancing in sync."

His daily warm nourishment was not without effect, the Life Radiance Breath blending together, gradually causing this Perfect Grade Electric Shock Military Saber to produce a "sense of closeness" toward him.

Crackle!

As the Ru Shen Ti furnace began operating, electric arcs coiled around the surface of the Electric Shock Military Saber, leaping and flashing.

Qin Shi gripped the hard hilt, facing Lin Xiong, smiling as he said:

"I don't know whether the Seventh War Corps' Pure Steel Whale Armor defense is unmatched, or whether my perfect military saber produced by the Four Pillars is too sharp to withstand."

Lin Xiong's originally black face instantly became like a burnt charcoal block, only lacking smoke rising from it.

His gaze locked tightly onto that military saber, and the aura he released was severed the moment it made contact.

Immediately after, his forehead faintly felt a stabbing pain, his skin unconsciously tightened, as if it were about to be sliced open.

"Who can endure this!"

Lin Xiong's mouth corner twitched.

Without a doubt, the military saber in Qin Shi's hands had an extraordinary origin.

Even a Professional-Grade Expert with life force over the three-hundred-point threshold could not possibly face it head-on.

"This kid is really despicable! Deliberately setting a trap for me, putting me on the spot……"

Lin Xiong was somewhat embarrassed; his grand words just now had been spoken too early, and now he could not take them back.

"Xiong Zi, step back."

Jiang Shijie said to mediate.

"Originally it was just my hands itching, wanting to learn the prowess of Hengzhou's local Old Martial Arts pillar, it has nothing to do with you."

Lin Xiong ground his teeth until they made a crackling sound; where did this kid find that famous saber.

It actually had Divine Spirit Pillar emblem brands, equivalent to enchantment strengthening over ten times.

Not to mention slashing Professional-Grade Experts, even slashing Divine Machines could produce sparks and lightning.

"Really infuriating!"

Lin Xiong clenched his fist, wishing he could press Qin Shi onto the ground and rub him hard.

"This guy has treachery in his bones, completely unlike a traditional Old Martial Arts practitioner."

The first victim Wu Yong deeply agreed, nodding repeatedly.

The two of them completely put aside their contempt, no longer daring to regard Qin Shi as an ordinary high school student.

The other party was entirely a cunning fellow full of bad ideas, very much like the old slick instructors in the war corps, impossible to tell when he would dig a pit waiting for you to jump.

Seeing his companions Wu Yong and Lin Xiong suffer first, Jiang Shijie was rather helpless.

This Nanhuang Daoist Hall Disciple proceeded step by step, giving him quite a headache.

If this got out, the Seventh War Corps' Sequence Army vanguard would not be as good as a Hengzhou local high school student, truly losing face for his master!

He must find a way to recover his dignity.

"Qin Classmate, I am Seventh War Corps Wind Scythe Sequence Military Sergeant Jiang Shijie. I have long heard of the great fame of Nanhuang Daoist Hall's Universe Furnace Secret Canon, and wish to witness it."

Jiang Shijie's attitude was solemn as he proposed a challenge, intending not to give Qin Shi any opportunity to exploit loopholes.

"Alright."

Qin Shi raised his eyebrows, without hesitation, readily agreed.

Life Magnetic Field spread out covering, Jiang Shijie who announced himself in his field of vision was like a huge fireball hanging high in the sky.

He narrowed his eyes, detecting more details.

"Old Martial Arts path, qualities in all aspects are quite balanced, life force purity not inferior to mine……"

These pieces of information flowed through Qin Shi's heart.

Fortunately he was only a Zhanshi.

If Jiang Shijie and the others advanced another step, becoming the strong backbone of the war corps' main force.

Then they would not be existences he could deal with.

Sequence Armies are usually divided into two tiers.

Zhanshi of the lower-middle ranks of Professional-Grade Experts, and the most elite War Generals.

The former mostly serve as "Servant Soldiers" and "gear" roles.

Someone of Jiang Shijie's age, valued by Mo Zhen Ting, promoted to high-ranking sergeant, entering the personal guard unit, was already one in ten thousand.

More Military Academy students' futures mostly require enduring seniority, participating in campaigns, hoping for promotion.

Only by becoming a War General do they possess the ability of "Vanguard Commander" and "executing missions."

This is the necessary path to the high levels of the military headquarters and the army building.

"Xiao Qin Shidi is a bit tired today. Even though Nanhuang Daoist Hall opens its main gate wide, welcoming guests from all directions, there is certainly no reason to fight a wheel battle."

Old Yu, watching from the sidelines, spoke softly.

A tranquil woman with a braided hairpin tied in a plait walked gracefully to the center of the field.

Reconnaissance Soldier Wu Yong subconsciously glanced at her once more, and as a result his pupils felt as if pricked by a needle, sensing sharp pain.

He involuntarily covered his eyes, his body staggering back several steps, and Lin Xiong steadily supported him.

"What's wrong, Lao Wu?"

Lin Xiong did not understand.

Wu Yong, usually boasting he was a sharp blade, how was he acting like a woman today, toppling at a gust of wind,

"Spiritual Path! Sitting in Oblivion Stage!"

Wu Yong cursed inwardly.

How does Nanhuang Dao Guan produce nothing but Spiritual Path cultivators?

This Reconnaissance Soldier of his had really rotten luck.

His usual method of slipping in on the wind, silent and traceless Qi sensing, now repeatedly came up empty.

Just now, merely looking carefully at Old Yu twice, Wu Yong felt his skull ache.

As if clamped tight between two iron plates, nearly bursting apart.

"Hurry up and fix that habit of yours of looking around blindly at every turn. The commander said, an excellent Reconnaissance Soldier must know how to choose the moment, not be like a radar left on twenty-four hours a day."

Lin Xiong shook his head and said.

Such powerful Spiritual Field Power.

Jiang Shijie's pupils likewise shrank; most Wind Scythe Sequence Army soldiers had taken anti-spiritual courses, how to use the "Body-Mind Unity" technique to prevent being spied on, controlled, influenced.

But the problem lay with this tranquil woman of Nanhuang Dao Guan — her Xinling Xiuxiu was so high it was frightening, directly ignoring their "defensive measures".

Like a space War Ship bearing down on a fishing Small Boat, the latter had no room to resist whatsoever.

"It was rash of me; I will visit again in three days."

Watched by the tranquil woman's gaze, as if targeted by a Star Sea ferocious beast, Jiang Shijie felt uncomfortable all over, a chill rising on his back; he pondered briefly, then chose to take his leave.

"Good."

Old Yu nodded.

"Younger Brother Qin Shidi will be at Nanhuang Dao Guan, receiving you all on time."

She waved her hand, signaling Jiang Shijie and the others could go.

This kind of "arrogant" attitude, yet it made the Sequence Army young masters accustomed to being thorns dare not make a sound.

They were proper veterans who had survived three years of service, Zhanshi well familiar with that stench of corpse mountains and blood seas.

Jiang Shijie and Lin Xiong exchanged a glance, and without prior agreement dragged Wu Yong away to run.

A tranquil face, gentle like the girl next door.

In the eyes of those from the Seventh War Corps Sequence Army background.

Like a terrifying demon who had personally built pagodas of skulls!

Qin Shi watched Jiang Shijie's departing back and spoke:

"Senior Sister, I feel I can still fight."

Just now he had been pondering how to Activate the Three Stages, to see if he could hard-clash against the Wind Scythe Sequence Army's Zhanshi.

"Younger Brother Qin Shidi, this kind of semi-public Challenge, you more or less carry Nanhuang Dao Guan's Reputation on your shoulders."

Old Yu smiled gently and said:

"Even if you cannot win, you must not lose too ugly. Taking a beating is one thing, but letting someone step on Nanhuang Dao Guan's name to steal the Limelight, Master would definitely be angry."

Qin Shi nodded, agreeing with Old Yu's words.

Third Senior Sister's general meaning was to let himself display his level, display his bearing.

"Rest assured, Fish Senior Sister. With my three days of special training, I should be able to put the other half of my foot into the Professional Realm."

Qin Shi thought seriously; he had already "Marked" Lin Xiong and Jiang Shijie.

Through the Inner Landscape's Combat Retrospection, the next few days.

He should be able to stack 【Overlapping Armor】 very high.

"I believe Younger Brother Qin Shidi you won't let Nanhuang Dao Guan's Signboard hit the ground."

Old Yu's mouth corner curled up; Master had once told her, Younger Brother Qin Shidi's Growth Potential was quite Monster-like.

The kind of Existence that, as long as given enough room to develop, could display terrifying potential.

In her Spiritual Field Power world, Qin Shi's radiance, though not as bright and dazzling as Jiang Shijie's, was also not inferior by much.

The gap between the two merely stopped at that one line of Realm.

"Three days of Settle Down, can Younger Brother Qin Shidi truly enter the Professional Domain?"

Old Yu gazed at Qin Shi's face, another wisp of Worry drifting in her heart.

She knew Younger Brother Qin Shidi had waited this long, repeatedly jumping back and forth at the Professional Grade Door.

Was precisely hoping for perfection, to form a Domain, and thereby Refine a Unique "Trait".

This step was quite difficult to walk.

"Perfect Domain, hard as ascending to heaven."

Old Yu did not disturb Qin Shi's "secluded cultivation"; she moved to Nanhuang Dao Guan's Control Room, summoning the Active Consciousness Entity Xuan Ming.

"Younger Brother Qin Shidi's current situation, Domain Progress reached one hundred percent, what is the probability?"

She asked softly.

The Active Consciousness Entity Xuan Ming began deducing data, constructing models; after dozens or hundreds of repeated tests, the model fed with Qin Shi's personal data stabilized.

After roughly experiencing Two Hours of meticulous calculation, Xuan Ming produced a result.

"The Young Hall Master entering the Perfect Domain and Refining a Transcendent-Grade Trait from it, the possibility is maintained at forty-seven percent."

Old Yu pursed her lips; this success probability was not low.

The vast majority of Professional Grade cultivators simply cannot touch "Transcendent-Grade Trait".

Even a genius like Yu Li ultimately failed at the step of entering the "Perfect Domain", his efforts falling short.

"Close to fifty percent Confidence."

Old Yu lowered her eyes.

"Xuan Ming, these past few days you must ensure Junior Brother Qin Shi maintains his cultivation time and receives sufficient resource supply. I will request Netherworld access authority from the Patrol Department, so that the energy factors within Nanhuang Dao Guan become richer and more concentrated."

Xuan Ming accepted the order and spoke slowly and deliberately:

"Understood. The Dao Guan Master has instructed that during these days when he is away, Young Hall Master shall receive the same highest treatment as him."

……

……

The night colors of Old Factory Street are always richer than those of the Urban Circle, like a thick curtain wrapping around the streets and buildings.

In the Training Room of Nanhuang Dao Guan, after bathing, Qin Shi put on loose clothing.

Incense burned inside the spacious wooden-structured house, wisps of smoke drifting out.

He sat cross-legged on a soft cushion, silently adjusting his breathing rhythm.

The rhythm within was very strange, both heavy like mountains and surging like fierce fire.

The Ru Shen Ti Furnace, like a started motor, began to rotate, while simultaneously, the Hundred Aspects Refinement of Momentum also unfolded.

Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain — various heart momentum images were imprinted upon the spirit.

This was the training regimen Qin Shi began executing after recently discussing with Lao Liang.

Previously he practiced them separately, not cultivating Hong Sheng's Hundred Aspects Refinement of Momentum together with Nanhuang Dao Guan's Ru Shen Ti Furnace, but adopting the "Differentiation Mode."

Under Lao Liang's guidance, Qin Shi began walking this path of "Unification."

To be honest, it was extremely difficult.

Even with his numerical values, plus various Achievement Trait blessings, he could not harmonize them well.

Hundred Aspects Refinement of Momentum emphasizes "fusion," requiring the "foundation" to be strong and inclusive of all things.

Nanhuang Dao Guan's Ru Shen Ti Furnace, on the other hand, is "nourishment," where any substance becomes "nourishment" and "nutrient" for the Mortal Body to grow strong.

Once both operate simultaneously, Hundred Aspects Refinement of Momentum nourishes "my Spirit," while Ru Shen Ti Furnace benefits "my Body."

It is like a water pool opening two mouths, requiring a constant transport of energy, otherwise it cannot keep up with consumption.

This is difficulty number one.

As for this aspect, Qin Shi could solve it, after all he was a Supernova of the Tai'an Region.

Plus the "rare resources" he purchased from Entropy Sea Bank were enough to sustain this period.

But difficulty number two left Qin Shi somewhat at a loss.

Even if he broke through the Four Great Limits and accumulated values multiple times, his Mortal Body still could not perfectly bear the two supreme arts; every time it operated around thirty times it would reach a critical point and could no longer advance.

"Since that is the case, only a drastic measure will do."

These past days, Qin Shi pondered deeply, finally coming up with a method that was not a method.

If Hong Sheng's Hundred Aspects Refinement of Momentum and Nanhuang Dao Guan's Ru Shen Ti Furnace cannot be compatible.

Then, what if I add He Lanchan's "Xu Kong Meditation Method"?

Everyone knows, a triangle is the most stable structure!

"Horizontally exhausting the Xu Kong, mountains, rivers, and earth — nothing to rely on, yet only I can be relied upon; vertically exhausting endless kalpas, ancient past and present — nothing to depend on, yet only the present can be depended upon……"

Golden scriptures like dragons and snakes, like a river encircling Qin Shi.

The condensed Xu Kong Ancient Mirror reflected upon itself.

His entire cross-legged figure instantly transformed into a transparent crystal of extremely high purity.

Tendons and bones, skin membranes, blood vessels and organs — various organs were covered by rich radiance, becoming multicolored.

"The Xu Kong Meditation Method imprints upon oneself, making it easier to adjust Hundred Aspects Refinement of Momentum and Ru Shen Ti Furnace."

Qin Shi began to ponder, repeatedly trying different rhythms to control the two inheritances.

But he always faced the same problem.

Lacking a sufficiently powerful core to suppress the other supreme arts.

Resulting in imbalance with the slightest slackness.

"It seems I must push the Life Nodes of 'Soldier Attack Combat Method' to three hundred."

After Qin Shi continuously suffered failures, he finally managed to stabilize the Consciousness Sea with the Xu Kong Meditation Method, while Hundred Aspects Refinement of Momentum and Ru Shen Ti Furnace operated along two opposite routes.

This "Trinity" state could last around eight minutes.

"Open Stacks!"

Qin Shi activated the Combat Retrospection of his Inner Landscape, and Jiang Shijie and Lin Xiong were slowly condensed into being.

Boom!

Jiang Shijie struck first!

His fist was fast as lightning; in an instant of explosion, driving his body, like an afterimage flickering, blurred and indistinct, even space distorted for a moment.

Crack!

Qin Shi first attempted to block head-on!

Two arms like two hundred-ton kings collided violently, the raging force of a mountain flood pouring down, causing his body to tremble violently, and inside his body came crackling, popcorn-like piercing explosions!

"Never tasted such a terrible flavor……"

Qin Shi licked his lips, a rich fishy-sweet smell lingering in his mouth.

Jiang Shijie's single combat art "No-Bright Mysterious True Light" actually pierced through the Tendons and Bones, Skin, and Three Great Limits in an instant.

Causing him a heavy loss!

Immediately after, Lin Xiong also launched an offensive.

The "target" brought back by retrospection would not care about martial virtue.

A burly figure glowing with blue-black light all over, like a giant bear standing upright, every movement brought up huge air currents.

Suddenly charging, delivering a fatal blow to Qin Shi!

"Beating two full-time Zhanshi is certainly bold."

Qin Shi's vision darkened, his bones cracking one by one, fresh blood spurting from his chest under the immense pressure.

【Overlapping Armor】 Progress +5%!
