Ren Pingsheng's small courtyard was right in the center of Wind Dragon, with Spiritual Energy continuously being drawn in from all around. The Spiritual Energy in the Gathering Spirit Array had already begun to liquefy, and he no longer needed to exert effort to absorb it. The dense Spiritual Energy surged toward his body eagerly.
His body seemed to have become an insatiable black hole, welcoming all Spiritual Energy without exception. The mutated Dantian appeared to have no capacity limit, with the central Five-Color Energy spinning faster and faster as the torrent of Spiritual Energy rushed in. Even Ren Pingsheng felt a surge of anxiety, fearing that he might encounter the unfortunate situation from not long ago once again.
Fortunately, it seemed that heaven favored him this time; the capacity of the mutated Dantian was astonishingly large. No matter how much Spiritual Energy flowed in, it did not create any waves but directly merged into the Five-Color Energy.
The external phenomenon lasted for a minute, and only when Wind Dragon had absorbed enough Spiritual Energy did it dissipate, shaking its head and tail.
Ren Pingsheng's breakthrough had reached its final stage; the storm of Five-Color Energy within the mutated Dantian grew larger and more intense. All the Spiritual Energy absorbed by Wind Dragon merged into it, and then the Five-Color Energy storm suddenly shrank, like a whale sucking in water, leaving his body devoid of any Spiritual Energy.
Then the Five-Color Energy storm began to tremble continuously. The gathered torrent of Spiritual Energy was being refined, becoming purer and more powerful.
Under such high-intensity compression, it did not last long. All the torrents of Spiritual Energy vanished without a trace, leaving only a five-colored mist swirling at the center of the mutated Dantian. It appeared even more magnificent and vibrant than before.
Everything fell silent. The Spiritual Energy within Ren Pingsheng's body, along with the vast amount he had absorbed, was completely transformed into True Qi at that moment. This meant he had broken through; from this moment on, he was a Warrior Strongman.
However, he still kept his eyes closed, showing no signs of wanting to rise. His purpose was simple: to take advantage of this breakthrough opportunity to further comprehend some things.
Now Ren Pingsheng felt that everything before him was so clear; his Soul seemed to be magnified countless times. Previous confusions in his cultivation were now easily resolved.
"Now is not the time for such insights; this rare opportunity should be focused on comprehending Sword Momentum and Artistic Conception." He then seized this precious moment of enlightenment to begin contemplating Sword Momentum and Wind Realm.
An endless sharpness and overwhelming pressure radiated from him, swirling around him continuously. Sometimes it transformed into an unparalleled sword emitting a chilling light; other times it became a majestic golden dragon exuding unmatched dominance with its gaze.
The entire courtyard was filled with interwoven sharpness and pressure. The only Ancient Tree in the yard swayed unsteadily, its leaves scattered on the ground, and its trunk bore numerous scars.
Ren Pingsheng's Soul seemed to enter another space filled with various Sword Momentum—some heavy, some strong, some sharp, some unique, some continuous, and some endlessly sharp. They intertwined together, constantly testing his nerves.
Everything around him left him unmoved; he simply sat quietly in the middle, contemplating. His understanding of Sword Momentum became clearer and more profound.
Initially, he only grasped the surface of Sword Momentum, but gradually he progressed from eight percent to ten percent, then to fifteen percent, and finally to twenty percent. After reaching twenty percent, Ren Pingsheng felt that further comprehension was exceedingly difficult.
Suddenly, it dawned on him that only by mastering the insights of Sword Momentum could he make the next stages of understanding easier. With this thought, he gave up and turned to comprehend Wind Realm.
He once again entered the ocean of wind, where gentle breezes danced, Azure Wind brushed against him, and Whirling Winds swirled like a hurricane. Various winds unfolded before Ren Pingsheng's eyes, bringing forth a multitude of insights.
Above the small courtyard, winds began to gather; the Wind Dragon that had disappeared not long ago returned. They howled, danced, and cheered as if celebrating their new companion or perhaps their new master.
"I didn't expect that my understanding of Wind Realm has reached this level; just a little more and I will achieve minor success," Zhu Tianchao said in astonishment as he watched the continuously dancing Azure Wind. He had also grasped Artistic Conception, but with his Martial Master cultivation, he had barely reached minor success.
Now, a disciple who had just broken through Warrior Realm had achieved such a level of understanding; how could this not astonish him? At this moment, he realized who had made the breakthrough. Among all the disciples of Azure Wind Sword Sect who understood Artistic Conception, there was only one.
"Good lad, I knew your silence was just for a more brilliant return. In this continent filled with strong individuals, you are destined to have your place in the future."
After an unknown amount of time, Ren Pingsheng's Soul trembled as he emerged from that peculiar state of comprehension. This left him somewhat dazed; it took a while for him to react.
"Oh, has it already ended? Wind Realm has barely improved to forty percent; that's not too bad," Ren Pingsheng murmured to himself. Sword Momentum at twenty percent and Wind Realm at minor success—that was his harvest from that unique insight.
"Ah, everything that needed to break through has done so. I should take a shower first!" He looked down at the layer of black substance on his body and immediately frowned. This was the effect of Five Elements Spirit Fruit's cleansing process; while strengthening his physique, it also eliminated some impurities from his body.
After taking a shower, Ren Pingsheng felt refreshed all over. As he stepped forward, his figure immediately floated up as if stepping on stairs, soaring higher. If it weren't for the roof obstructing him, he could have risen even higher. His figure fluttered like a butterfly in mid-air, dazzling anyone who watched.
"Haha! With this breakthrough in Wind Realm, my speed has indeed increased. There are no obstacles to flying in this small area." Whether on the ground or in the air, he moved with incredible agility.
Ren Pingsheng stopped and closed his eyes to feel everything within himself and in his surroundings. His expression was filled with joy.
"This is True Qi; its power is ten times that of Spiritual Energy. Although the mutated Dantian contains five-colored True Qi, when circulating through the Meridian, it remains the most ordinary True Qi. This should have no adverse effects."
"Yes, someone has arrived." Becoming a Warrior Strongman, his senses became sharper, allowing him to clearly perceive and grasp everything within a hundred feet.
He opened the door and saw Zhu Tianchao walking over, looking somewhat surprised.
"Vice Master, what brings you here?"
"Hehe, with such a commotion you've caused, how could I not come and take a look? Have you broken through?" Zhu Tianchao asked with a joyful expression after carefully sensing the situation.
"Yes, I just broke through. I have quite a few questions I'd like to ask you, Vice Master."
"Alright, let's go inside and talk. Since you've broken through, I also have many things to instruct you on."
About an hour later, Zhu Tianchao finally left. The onlooking disciples had long since dispersed, and the small courtyard returned to tranquility.
Ren Pingsheng's expression was somewhat strange; he had just taken the opportunity to inquire about the situation of Warriors in the Warrior Realm. The results he received were very different from everything happening to him.
When ordinary people break through to the Qi Refinement Stage, they also refine the Spiritual Energy within their bodies, transforming it into True Qi, but it doesn't require such exaggerated amounts of Spiritual Energy. Their True Qi is similar in color to Spiritual Energy, just deeper in hue. There is no distinction of five colors, nor do explosions or changes in the Dantian occur.
This left him somewhat puzzled; however, he didn't foolishly express his thoughts to Zhu Tianchao. He simply kept it in mind, preparing to clarify it later.
Another matter that concerned him was the Great Chu Academy. Zhu Tianchao briefly introduced the Great Chu Academy; every sect's warrior who breaks through to the Qi Refinement Stage must go there.
Now that Ren Pingsheng had broken through, he naturally needed to go as well. The Great Chu Academy has regulations stating that after a breakthrough, one can stay in their sect for a maximum of six months; once this period ends, they must head to the Academy. This is mandatory; any violation would have serious consequences.
"A six-month deadline? A month will be enough; I'll first master Gale Thirteen Swords completely and resolve some matters." Ren Pingsheng smiled as he looked at the sword technique in his hand. The Mystic Level Low Rank Sword Technique, Gale Thirteen Swords, which he obtained from Pan Longkun, he had been practicing diligently and had already mastered it. Now with True Qi, achieving perfection in the final layer would be effortless.
In the following days, Ren Pingsheng stayed in the valley of Back Mountain. Most of the time, the valley was filled with howling winds and swirling dust from fallen leaves as he practiced his swordsmanship. Occasionally he would space out, reminiscing about the missing Little White Fox.
In the blink of an eye, twenty days passed. Not only had he perfected Gale Thirteen Swords, but he also broke through to the fifth layer of Nine Turns Body Refinement Technique, increasing his strength by three thousand pounds.
"Brother Liu, you are the next First Elite Disciple. I will be waiting for you at Great Chu Academy," Ren Pingsheng said softly, looking at the person before him.
"First, congratulations on your breakthrough. I will catch up soon," Liu Wuyun replied, determination written all over his face. Among the original five of them, three had already left, and only he and Wei Ziqi had not yet broken through. With Ren Pingsheng's departure, he automatically became the first among the Elite Disciples.
"I will leave tomorrow, so you don't need to see me off. Please say goodbye to Brother Wei for me!" With that, his figure vanished.
"Just wait, I will catch up soon and won't be left behind by you guys," Liu Wuyun said, gently clenching his fist as he gazed into the distance, seemingly recalling the fierce competition among the five of them back then.
"It seems like it will take you some time to break through. It's a pity we can't go together," Ren Pingsheng said with a smile upon returning to the small courtyard and seeing Chu Xiao.
"Ah, I didn't expect you to break through so quickly. Give me three more months, and I will catch up," Chu Xiao mumbled dejectedly.
"Here, these Elixirs are for you. With these, I believe you can make it in two months at most."
"Wow, this is a Qi Condensation Pill. Brother, thank you so much! With this help, I will definitely appear at Great Chu Academy in two months. Just wait for me to show my prowess!" Chu Xiao immediately perked up and laughed heartily.
"Then go cultivate. You don't need to see me off tomorrow; strive for an early breakthrough," Ren Pingsheng said with a chuckle as he waved him off.
Three years have passed quickly; tomorrow he would be leaving.
Great Chu Dynasty, Great Chu Academy—he was finally one step closer to the pinnacle of this continent.
