Many disciples practicing in the True Qi Hall clearly felt that the True Qi in their Stone Houses was becoming increasingly thin, as if it were being extracted. This left them surprised and angry, prompting them to rush out of their Stone Houses to see what was happening, as this was all earned through their hard-earned points.
However, as soon as they stepped out of their Stone Houses, they were taken aback and looked towards the innermost Stone House. The True Qi was surging and gathering towards that direction. Some disciples immediately understood what was going on.
"I didn't expect someone to break through; this person is about to become a Martial Master!" they said enviously. Many of them had come here seeking a breakthrough but had not achieved any results. Seeing someone else succeed naturally made them envious.
"Let's just wait outside; there's no point in trying to cultivate right now," one disciple said with a mix of envy and resignation as he walked towards the exit. Along the way, many other disciples made the same choice, but no one dared to cause trouble unless they wanted to leave the Great Chu Academy.
Once outside, feeling the frenzied gathering of True Qi all around, they were astonished. Who could it be that caused such a commotion and required so much True Qi? They speculated about who it might be among those in the Bronze Ranking; such an event could only be caused by a genius from the Bronze Ranking.
Inside the Gathering Spirit Array, Ren Pingsheng remained calm. The dense True Qi from his surroundings surged into his body. The Five-Colored Cloud in his Dantian began to spin faster and faster. The True Qi entering his body was being pulled in and gradually compressed and refined.
Due to this influx of True Qi, the previously light-colored Five-Colored Cloud became increasingly vibrant. It resembled a swirling five-colored whirlwind, beautiful yet strange in the empty darkness of his Dantian.
Outside the True Qi Hall, the Wind Dragon's influence spread wider and wider, draining the surrounding True Qi completely. This bizarre phenomenon immediately attracted many people's attention, who gathered outside the True Qi Hall to inquire about who was breaking through. Unfortunately, no one knew; they could only wait outside with curiosity.
"What a powerful phenomenon! Another extraordinary genius has been born," an Elder from the True Qi Hall remarked as he observed the situation outside, unable to suppress his admiration. Generally, when an ordinary person breaks through, they might absorb Spiritual Energy from a radius of up to a hundred meters; some geniuses might reach a mile. But this time, it extended at least four or five miles—quite extraordinary indeed.
The five High-Grade Spirit Stones in the Gathering Spirit Array began to flicker continuously, seemingly overwhelmed by the increasing amount of True Qi. Streams of milky-white True Qi flowed from various parts of Ren Pingsheng's body into him.
Ren Pingsheng also sensed the changes in his Dantian or rather its thirst; it needed more True Qi for transformation. He operated the Ancient Lan Divine Art to its utmost limit; each stream of True Qi that entered his Meridian was absorbed by the Five-Colored Cloud in his Dantian. He could only grit his teeth and increase the speed at which he absorbed True Qi to satisfy his Dantian's needs.
If becoming a Warrior Realm martial artist required condensing a cyclone prototype within one's body, then becoming a Martial Master Realm martial artist required fully forming that cyclone. Once formed, it would absorb and store True Qi more quickly and in greater quantities. The amount of True Qi stored in a Martial Master's Dantian is approximately three times that of a Warrior Realm martial artist.
Ren Pingsheng did not know what others' Dantian would be like, but the funnel-shaped cyclone composed of Five-Colored Cloud within him had already fully formed. All of his True Qi was divided into two parts: one part was compressed and gathered in the pool beneath the funnel, continuously accumulating into a mass, while the other part merged into the Five-Colored Cloud.
The True Qi in the pool beneath the Funnel Cyclone was milky white, resembling thick mist; it was the attribute-less True Qi cultivated through the Ancient Lan Divine Art. The portion of True Qi that merged with the Five-Colored Cloud was attribute True Qi that had been absorbed.
In other words, Ren Pingsheng's body contained two types of True Qi: one was the attribute-less True Qi cultivated from the Ancient Lan Divine Art, and the other was the beloved attribute True Qi from the Five-Color Cyclone. He just did not know what benefits they would bring once they grew stronger.
His unique Dantian mutation could be said to be one of a kind, something others could not even conceive of. Even that White Figure who had helped Ren Pingsheng back then might not have anticipated such a situation.
The True Qi continued to be compressed, and the milky white True Qi kept accumulating more and more. After being filtered through the Five-Colored Funnel Cyclone, it surged into the milky white True Qi Cloud Mist. When they could no longer absorb any more, it would be time for a breakthrough.
Half an hour quickly passed, during which Ren Pingsheng remained tense, fully absorbing the Spiritual Energy from the Gathering Spirit Array. Finally, the compressed True Qi from the Five-Colored Funnel Cyclone caused the milky white True Qi Cloud Mist in the pool below to begin to fluctuate and stir restlessly, as if it had eaten its fill and could absorb less and less True Qi. However, the speed of the Five-Color Cyclone showed no signs of slowing down; a large amount of True Qi continued to pour in.
A feeling of swelling made Ren Pingsheng somewhat uncomfortable, but he knew this meant that his internal True Qi had reached saturation; what followed would be the crucial transformation.
"Compress for me, break through!" he roared, as the Ancient Lan Divine Art continued to absorb a large amount of True Qi. The Five-Colored Funnel Cyclone seemed to have reached its limit, compressing vast amounts of True Qi while causing the milky white True Qi Cloud Mist to expand continuously.
With a loud bang, the pool at the bottom and the milky white True Qi Cloud Mist exploded outward. The Five-Colored Funnel Cyclone momentarily stalled as it was impacted by the energy from within. After a few breaths, however, it began to spin again, and the pool storing True Qi reappeared.
It seemed to have expanded more than twice its previous size; this rotation caused the True Qi in his Meridian to be completely emptied. The speed was several times faster than before. The terrifying suction generated in his Dantian meant that he did not even need to operate his cultivation technique; Spiritual Energy from the Gathering Spirit Array rolled into his body effortlessly. Even the Wind Dragon outside the True Qi Hall expanded by a third after a moment, draining all of its surrounding True Qi.
"Phew... finally broke through." At that moment of explosion, Ren Pingsheng sustained some minor injuries; he felt a dull pain in his Meridian due to the attraction from his Dantian and was somewhat astonished. He did not expect that after breaking through, the speed at which this Five-Color Cyclone absorbed Spiritual Energy would be so terrifying.
He immediately coordinated with it, operating the Ancient Lan Divine Art to actively absorb external True Qi. This alleviated some of the suction in his Dantian and eliminated the stabbing pain in his Meridian. The Gathering Spirit Array continued to flicker as Spiritual Energy from five High-Grade Spirit Stones began to flow away slowly.
"It's coming!" Just as he was reveling in his breakthrough joy, an unseen will descended upon him. He felt as if he had been reborn; everything in this world became so clear to him, and many previously incomprehensible thoughts were resolved completely.
He had a sudden thought, and the sword intent on his body gradually began to release. His understanding of the sword intent was also deepening. If before he saw it as if through a fog, now it felt as if this flower was placed right in front of him, revealing its secrets bit by bit.
Ren Pingsheng sat there in a daze, with the true energy from the Spirit Gathering Array continuously flowing into his body. The five-colored vortex in his Dantian was still spinning non-stop. The milky-white true energy mist in the pool below was rapidly increasing. There was now enough space for it to thrive.
At the same time, intermittent sharpness radiated from him, fluctuating continuously. The entire Stone House was filled with pressure, like a mountain or abyss, yet there was an underlying hint of endless sharpness.
"Sword intent is a great force! Using one's unique method to borrow the great force of heaven and earth to confront the enemy." Ren Pingsheng felt he had gained new insights. This was not a passive borrowing but required a point of entry. Just like Ren Pingsheng's sword intent, which borrowed from the endless sharpness to tap into the great force of heaven and earth. Thus, his sword intent carried an overwhelming sharpness within its pressure.
"Forty percent of the sword intent has finally reached minor success; I can now learn the second form of the Heavenly Sword Three Styles." Ren Pingsheng felt this astonishing speed and smiled broadly. However, he soon calmed himself and began to focus, changing his aura as he started to comprehend Artistic Conception.
The five spirit stones in the Spirit Gathering Array finally exhausted their spiritual energy and shattered completely. The surrounding restless true energy was drawn in by a pulling force and directly entered Ren Pingsheng's body. The five-colored vortex spun rapidly for a few more rounds before slowing down, rotating slowly like a shape with holes.
The wind dragon swirling outside the True Energy Hall also began to dissipate slowly, transforming into gentle breezes that gradually flowed into the Stone House within the True Energy Hall. It had become an ocean of wind, with Ren Pingsheng's long hair fluttering and dancing.
A moment later, the atmosphere in the Stone House changed dramatically. The gentle breeze disappeared, replaced by flickering golden lights that shimmered with endless sharpness, as if they could pierce through the heavens. Unfortunately, all this was blocked by the Stone House; outsiders could not perceive it at all. Otherwise, anyone enveloped by it would have their mind shattered into pieces.
"The Artistic Conception of Wind has reached forty percent; Golden Realm is at four and a half. It's a pity this state couldn't last longer; perhaps I could advance further." Thinking this made him smile involuntarily; he felt greedy. Achieving minor success this time was already a tremendous gain.
"Is this what it feels like to be a Martial Master? It's indeed different; I feel at least twice as strong as before." He stood up, feeling true energy surging within him, filled with an impulse to engage in battle.
"I don't know how much time has passed, but I've finally achieved my goal. I am now a Martial Master; next, I need to consolidate my cultivation and find an opportunity to settle my score with Li Kun." He opened the stone door and let out a breath of relief as he recalled Crimson Blood Hand Li Kun. Even though he was at mid-level Martial Master cultivation, he was confident he could handle him easily.
