Yes, his strength far surpassing his cultivation base must be due to the Secret Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Secret Realm... is truly miraculous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I must send word to the Yamato Imperial Court as soon as possible about Lord Cang and the Secret Realm...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Uesugi Emiko’s thoughts had already flown thousands of miles to the Yamato Imperial Court, yet she continued whispering tender words to Cang Luo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo listened in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This feeling—holding a girl while she whispers sweet nothings... is incredibly relaxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that’s all it is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo isn’t foolish; this Yamato woman tried to steal his phone and even resorted to poisoning—how do I know she isn’t pretending right now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trying to win my sympathy, feign weakness, then strike with a fatal blow?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo listened carefully for a while longer, then said calmly: “As long as you don’t betray me, I will protect you and share everything I have with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But if I ever discover you’ve betrayed me, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uesugi Emiko immediately looked up at him and declared firmly: “Lord Cang, I am yours—forever, I will never betray you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo nodded, but did not believe her; he said nothing. Uesugi Emiko fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while of tender closeness, Uesugi Emiko suddenly said: “Lord Cang, when will you take me to see your homeland? I wish to meet your parents.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo froze, instantly recalling last night’s screening of The Avengers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did I say last night? Did I say the world in The Avengers was my homeland? Did I mention Earth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo felt a chill—he forced calmness and said: “Homeland? My homeland is far away... let’s talk about it next year, see if I can take you there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then mumbled a few more vague words and got up to dress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far from being disappointed by Cang Luo’s evasiveness, Uesugi Emiko grew even more excited—his vagueness confirmed several things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Secret Realm truly exists, and it is very distant from the Yuanwu Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Cang is indeed from the Secret Realm—he can communicate with it, return to it, and even bring me there!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from his tone, it seems Lord Cang cannot return to the Secret Realm at will?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she rose to help Cang Luo dress, Uesugi Emiko pondered deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Cang likely cannot return to the Secret Realm on his own—or perhaps he cannot return at all, and requires someone from the Secret Realm to guide him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I must change my plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, my plan was to notify the Yamato Imperial Court, and have them send powerful cultivators to seize Cang Luo and extract the Secret Realm’s secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that I know Cang Luo may be unable to return alone, I will first investigate exactly when and how he can return, then act accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, I must still notify the Yamato Imperial Court—once we return to the Five Elements Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I’ll decide whether to accompany Lord Cang to the Secret Realm first, or let the Yamato Imperial Court launch a direct assault...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Uesugi Emiko thought of these things, she finished dressing Cang Luo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo glanced at her and smiled: “I’ll go get something to eat. I’ll call you when it’s ready.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uesugi Emiko nodded silently, slowly dressing herself—her body ached slightly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo quickly prepared some roasted meat; after eating, they resumed searching for demonic beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uesugi Emiko wanted to subdue a second-rank demonic beast as a pet, preferably a mutated one. Cang Luo also sought a second-rank demonic beast as a pet, but he didn’t expect a mutated one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, under satellite surveillance, Cang Luo quickly found a second-rank demonic beast resembling Earth’s giant bears—though not mutated. Uesugi Emiko shook her head, declining it; Cang Luo declined too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Cang Luo immediately obliterated it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used only three strikes: the first two were Thunderclap Palms infused with Thunder Essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third was a palm-blade infused with Yang Essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Cang Luo finally felt the power of Essence, and began to grasp how to use it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Essence—cuts through iron like mud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder Essence was even more potent, like an electric field clinging to the skin; upon impact, it electrocuted the target, its paralysis effect stronger than Thunderclap Palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Essence was scorching, immense, and devastating!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the Yang Essence absorbed and transformed by Cang Luo’s Earth-grade Upper-tier cultivation method, the Divine Body Destruction Art, was three times stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yang Essence palm-blade forged by the Divine Body Destruction Art sliced clean through the giant bear’s neck—its power rivaled a Grade Three longsword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Uesugi Emiko was stunned—she had no idea when Cang Luo had broken through to Martial General, growing even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She realized his Yang Essence was extraordinarily powerful—stronger than that of most Martial Masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with Cang Luo’s abnormal strength, Uesugi Emiko once again attributed it to the miraculous Secret Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She believed the Secret Realm Cang Luo came from must have unique cultivation methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, that man who, in normal state, looked like he could be killed by a single slash—yet transformed into a “green-skinned gorilla” and became terrifyingly powerful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immense strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Invulnerable to blades and bullets!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grew stronger the longer he fought!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just one punch, he defeated a giant flying fish that looked like at least a seventh-rank demonic beast...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Cang Luo knew Uesugi Emiko called the Hulk a “green-skinned gorilla” and the Chitauri whale-ships seventh-rank demonic beasts, he would have laughed out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Cang Luo was digging out the demonic core; after extracting it, he swallowed it without hesitation and immediately began refining it on the spot—he wanted to test his “Starvation Supplement” ability again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo frowned slightly—this time, refining the demonic core did not trigger rapid absorption. This confirmed his suspicion: only in a state of extreme hunger could he rapidly refine demonic cores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, I just need to confirm whether extreme hunger occurs only during sieges and territorial conquests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would prove the “Starvation Supplement” ability isn’t an accident or coincidence—it’s my new ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the “Starvation Supplement” ability is wasteful—squandering at least ninety percent of resources—and deprives me of my pleasures, it might prove invaluable someday...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, if I ever get rich, I could buy vast quantities of resources to refine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Cang Luo also recalled the idea of trading between the two worlds: exchanging Earth’s goods for Yuanwu Continent’s resources, then using “Starvation Supplement” to cultivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I cycle this, wouldn’t I become Emperor or Sovereign in minutes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo smiled bitterly—how easy would that be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The higher the cultivation, the more resources required; using “Starvation Supplement” multiplies that consumption tenfold!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night, I broke through from Martial Warrior Ninth Layer to Martial General Second Layer, consuming at least two hundred low-grade Yuan Stones’ worth of demonic cores—roughly 2.8 million RMB.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Think of it: forget Martial Sovereign or Martial King—even reaching Martial Spirit, a fourth-rank cultivator, might be beyond my means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martial General is a second-rank cultivator, and I’m only at Second Layer—each advancement now costs millions. What about Martial Spirit? Tens of millions? Hundreds of millions? Billions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where the hell am I going to get this much money?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo sighed deeply—no wonder they say the poor study, the rich cultivate. Martial cultivation truly is built on gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, “Starvation Supplement” only boosts cultivation base, not actual combat power—if the technique doesn’t keep up, it’s all useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, I don’t even know if I’ll survive to return to Earth...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo sighed again, stopped thinking about it, and decided to take things as they come—cultivate steadily. With his Earth-born physique, his current cultivation speed is already fast enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Uesugi Emiko noticed his troubled expression and asked gently: “Lord Cang, what’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo shook his head: “Nothing. Just a little homesick. Let’s keep searching for demonic beasts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Cang Luo regained his focus and resumed searching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, Uesugi Emiko, hearing his mention of homesickness, became even more convinced: Lord Cang cannot return to the Secret Realm on his own...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Searching for demonic beasts passed quickly; night fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That afternoon, under satellite surveillance, Cang Luo spotted hundreds of demonic beasts—first, second, and third rank. Had the satellite penetrated the dense forest, he could have found more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet among these hundreds, only dozens were solitary; most moved in groups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demonic beasts aren’t stupid—human cultivators hunt in teams, so demonic beasts fight in packs too. The higher their rank, the smarter they become.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many demonic beasts were found, but none suited either of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uesugi Emiko said she wanted a... cute second-rank demonic beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo was speechless—do you plan to use this beast for battle, or as a pet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo himself wanted to subdue a stealth-type demonic beast—a master of ambush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought: the Husky can spit smoke to create mist—what if the next beast is a stealth type? Then I could hide in the mist and strike unseen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The idea was good—but no such beast was found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, the afternoon wasn’t fruitless: Cang Luo killed five solitary second-rank demonic beasts, plus the giant bear—six total—and collected six second-rank demonic cores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, had he not been searching for a suitable pet, he could have killed far more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night had fallen; Cang Luo and Uesugi Emiko entered the tent...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the tent, they sat in silence; a faint osmanthus fragrance drifted in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo remained wary, wanting to test his “Starvation Supplement” ability, but hesitated—too much initiative would seem desperate, even cruel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he swallowed a second-rank demonic core and began refining it silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uesugi Emiko instantly relaxed, and began her own cultivation—she was afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night, Lord Cang was too wild...\u003C\u002Fp>",1691,"2026-06-21T06:04:04.528Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ece61a219b5393aee1bb8f0a7bff1b6f06d3a9a0f417eb496ebcc931bb8cb41f","high-martial-arts-across-two-worlds-chapter-116","high-martial-arts-across-two-worlds-chapter-114",157,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhigh-martial-arts-across-two-worlds-cover.jpg"]
