Chapter 5

"I don't believe it."

Lei Hong suppressed the fear in his heart and shouted angrily.

"What does that have to do with me?"

Lu Li glanced at him, reached out to push him aside, and said faintly: "You're blocking my way."

After saying that, he stepped away directly.

"How dare you ignore me!"

Lei Hong could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, roared, and suddenly gathered all his strength, punching toward Lu Li.

"Boom!"

That punch landed on Lu Li's body.

But the next moment, a terrifying power surged out from Lu Li's body, like a mountain flood, rushing back into his body.

"Pfft!"

Lei Hong spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward.

From beginning to end, Lu Li didn't even turn around.

And it wasn't until this moment that the people in the hall reacted; in that short moment just now, a fierce conflict had actually broken out.

"What happened?"

"Defeated without even turning his head; could that kid not even have reached the level of Martial Artist?"

"Daring to cause trouble with that little cultivation, truly overestimating himself."

Mocking voices continued all around.

Only Lei Hong, looking at Lu Li's departing back, felt a strong fear rising in his eyes.

He was actually this powerful!

Leaving the test point.

Lu Li quickly returned to his room.

He sat cross-legged, and a meridian shining with spiritual light appeared on his body, with surging power gathering on his right index finger, golden light dazzling, blooming with incomparably sharp and terrifying power.

Diamond Finger!

In that negative pressure room, Lu Li hadn't just broken through to become a Martial Master.

With the help of the constantly increasing special pressure and his hundredfold talent, he deduced the second meridian belonging to the Diamond Finger. Once he opened it and merged the power of the two meridians, the killing power of the Diamond Finger would inevitably rise to a higher level.

And this was one of the reasons why he couldn't be bothered to deal with Lei Hong.

Lu Li didn't hesitate at all.

In his mind, his hundredfold talent was activated to the extreme.

On his body, next to the first meridian flashing with spiritual light, another faint pattern appeared. The pattern was dim and not yet conspicuous; if one didn't observe carefully, it was not easy to discover.

But Lu Li knew.

That was the second meridian he had deduced.

As long as he opened it, the combat power of the Diamond Finger would inevitably increase exponentially.

"Open the meridian!"

Lu Li shouted softly.

The blood and Qi power around his body gathered, the power of a Martial Master was exerted to the extreme, guided by the technique, and under the calculation of his hundredfold talent, all of it methodically charged toward that dim pattern.

Gradually, spiritual light began to flicker on that faint pattern.

An entire meridian was gradually opened.

In the blink of an eye.

A day had passed.

Lu Li stopped cultivating.

On his body, three meridians were flashing with spiritual light simultaneously.

Having learned from the previous experience, after opening the second meridian, he deduced the third meridian with the help of his hundredfold talent, and being familiar with the process, he quickly opened it.

Lu Li knew that there must still be a fourth meridian hidden in his body suitable for cultivating the Diamond Finger.

But after trying for several hours just now, he gained nothing.

This should be the limit of what his hundredfold talent could deduce!

Lu Li knew very well.

Deducing like this had already exceeded the scope of the Diamond Finger, equivalent to creating a powerful martial skill from scratch. Although his hundredfold talent was strong, it ultimately had its own limits; even if he forced the deduction, he wouldn't gain anything.

"It seems that if I want to continue deducing, I have to wait for the system to fuse the thousandfold talent."

Lu Li murmured softly.

Although he couldn't continue deducing, having these three meridians was already enough.

At his fingertips, as the three meridians lit up, sharp golden light flickered out. The golden light constantly gathered, condensing into a point at his fingertip, and finally left his body, blooming with an unparalleled aura of slaughter.

That point of golden light was incomparably dazzling, like a star, constantly jumping up and down at his fingertip.

As long as Lu Li was willing, he could pierce through an enemy ten zhang away at any time.

Killing from a distance!

This could not be done without reaching the Wuzong realm!

With the help of this Diamond Finger deduction, Lu Li had reached this step ahead of time.

Although he had only just broken through to the Martial Master realm, he already possessed the killing means of a Wuzong.

"Phew!"

Lu Li let out a long breath, letting that point of golden light disappear.

On his body, the three meridians also slowly faded away.

Martial Artists cultivate the physical body!

Martial Masters cultivate blood and Qi!

Having reached this step, the bottleneck of the Wuzong realm had vanished; now he only needed to forge ahead and cultivate his blood and Qi to perfection to naturally break through to the Wuzong realm.

Lu Li rested for a moment and prepared to continue cultivating.

But just at this moment, a text message came in.

"Mr. Lu Li, after receiving this message, please come to the test point immediately. Your last test had an error and needs to be re-tested."

After reading the message, Lu Li couldn't help but frown.

An error in the test?

How could that be?

He hadn't violated any rules or cheated, so how could there be an error?

However, since this message came from the residential area, it shouldn't be wrong. Anyway, with his current cultivation, he could easily pass the re-test, so there was no need to worry too much.

Lu Li tidied up and left the room.

A few minutes later.

Lu Li arrived at the third floor of the third test point.

At this moment, the hall was empty, and Lu Li stood there alone, feeling a bit strange.

Why was there no one here when a message had clearly called him over?

Just then, a middle-aged figure walked out of the test room. Seeing Lu Li, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You must be Lu Li, right?"

"Who are you?"

Lu Li was certain that this person was not among the relevant personnel for this test.

"My name is Zheng Mingfeng, the head of the Zheng Family in Qian Cheng, and also the person in charge of this test in this residential area." The middle-aged man replied with a light laugh.

"Did you ask me to come?" Lu Li asked.

"That's right." Zheng Mingfeng nodded and admitted, "According to the reported data, you persisted in the negative pressure room for over half an hour. I wanted to see it for myself, so I had someone notify you to come over."

"So, there's nothing wrong with my test?" Lu Li said in a deep voice.

"Don't be angry. I didn't lie to you. Although you passed the Martial Artist test, you still need to undergo a Martial Master test." Zheng Mingfeng saw Lu Li's dissatisfaction and explained with a smile.

"Martial Master test?"

Lu Li finally remembered.

This test was not just for Martial Artists, but also for Martial Masters. The Martial Artist test was to prevent the abuse of resources, while the Martial Master test was to create stronger individuals.

Once passed, both allowances and cultivation resources would rise to a higher level.

"How do I test?" Understanding this, Lu Li asked.

"The Martial Master test uses a different method, but it also ended yesterday. However, given your outstanding performance in the negative pressure room, I have made an exception to come and test you personally."

Speaking of this, the corner of Zheng Mingfeng's mouth rose slightly.

"Now, attack me with all your strength. With just one strike, I can measure your cultivation."
