Chapter 36: Acting like the coolest guy gets the worst beating.
With Bai Yue joining the team, Li Muyang has a much better grasp of the integration of the systems!
Well, it's just icing on the cake.
It's all Li Muyang's fault for being so cautious; it's what caused all this trouble.
After agreeing to the cultivation request, everyone decided to stay here for the time being, otherwise they would have to keep running around. The main reason was that Bai Yuxiu's cultivation also had problems, and she needed Bai Yue's guidance.
Having reached a consensus, Li Muyang, He Sui, and Bai Yue stayed up all night to carefully study the matter and discovered that Li Muyang's previous worries were completely unfounded!
"If you had told me before that someone was born with all their meridians open, I would never have believed it. Now, the facts are right in front of me!" Bai Yue stared at Li Muyang, who had already become a Grandmaster, with a questioning expression.
He Sui even plucked out a few hairs from her beard: "I've really learned something new! It's truly amazing!"
In one breath, over the course of a single night, Li Muyang, with the aid of his own primordial spiritual energy, broke through to the peak of the Grandmaster realm! Because the pathways that ordinary people need to break through to achieve a breakthrough were already open for Li Muyang! Now, all he needed was primordial spiritual energy to connect them!
If it were just an ordinary grandmaster, the two of them could accept it, but it was like riding a rocket. Even though the two of them didn't understand what a rocket was, their worldview was completely shattered!
numb!
Originally, Li Muyang thought, "Don't think that cultivating immortality means you can do whatever you want!"
Now, Li Muyang has discovered, sorry, that cultivating immortality really does allow you to do whatever you want!
Now, Li Muyang was no longer in a hurry and continued to break through his martial arts realm!
Anyway, with his peak Grandmaster-level martial arts skills and his own abilities, he has a great chance of defeating even Tianxia Yi. As for encountering that old devil Chongming? He can just reveal a few of his trump cards and still kill him.
The most important thing now is to form the Golden Core! To condense the Golden Core!
As long as he can form his core! Based on previous experience and the research of Bai Yue and He Sui, Li Muyang can easily bridge the gap in martial arts realm! Reaching the Supreme Realm is within his grasp!
At that time, even those in the Longevity Realm won't be unable to fight!
While cultivation realms may seem to completely overwhelm martial arts realms, it must be admitted that breakthroughs in martial arts realms do offer some benefit to Li Muyang! Cultivation realms primarily elevate the level of life, representing the whole, but lack the means of categorization. Martial arts realms perfectly fill this gap in methods.
Having more control over the power is a benefit!
However, the current situation has put He Sui and Bai Yue in an awkward position. They thought they were indispensable, but now they find that they are dispensable.
Of course, Li Muyang is not the kind of person who would betray his country after eating its food. If it weren't for the research and help of the two of them, given his personality, he would never have dared to easily attempt a breakthrough to a higher level. Who knows when he would have been blocked, or whether things would have gone as smoothly as they have now? It's hard to say.
Keep developing! We're not invincible yet! Be steady!
Having agreed to study the system and the essence of the cultivation techniques, Li Muyang naturally went all out, using spiritual liquid to conduct research with the three of them! He even released the Shennong Beast!
The power of the divine beast is now on full display! Shennong Beast began a transformation project in the secluded forest where Baiyue resided, turning it into a blessed land! (A weakened version.)
It's like adding a layer of spirit-gathering array. In this world where spiritual energy is relatively scarce, having this thing can at least provide decisive assistance to cultivation, and it also strengthens the maze!
Putting aside how it helped their research, the result was that You Shuyun, who came to Bai Yue, or rather Bai Yuxiu, to ask for the West King Sword, was Bai Muzhen's junior brother, You Jun of Youming. Over the years, he had been thinking about avenging Wuxiang City and rebuilding it, and he did not hesitate to join the Youming organization and work for Jian Jue, the sixth brother.
Unfortunately, in this anime, as if it were the director's twisted sense of humor, aside from the main characters Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er, the more pretentious someone is, the more they get beaten up!
Lu You, the early-stage boss, was extremely arrogant, wearing masks upon masks, one after another. He almost completely overwhelmed the main characters Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er during his appearance. However, when he fought with his junior sister Liu Ruyan, he was accidentally injured by his teammates and died.
Li Rong, who has the face of Cao Cao, the owner of the pesticide company, is the third leader of the Azure Dragon Society. He always has a cold and ruthless appearance. However, in a fight with the Sword Madman of the same realm, he was slightly defeated and forced not to make a move. Later, at the Kasyapa Temple, he was first beaten up by Xuan Kong, who was at the peak of the Grandmaster level, and then he was even more tragically killed by the aftershocks of the fight between Master Cixin and Tianxia Yi, without any chance to fight back.
Then there's Dongfang Yao, the leader of the martial arts alliance. You can imagine how incredibly strong he is just by looking at his name. He's at least a villainous boss, seemingly invincible. But in the backstory, Bai Muzhen broke his leg, forcing him to walk with crutches during the story. He was also seriously injured by the near-death Master Cixin at Jiaye Temple.
It's clear that in this world, aside from the main characters, the more arrogant others are, the harder they get beaten up!
You Shuyun had been secretly controlled by Jian Jue and Du Jue through Gu poison, and he himself was unaware of it!
Now, You Shuyun confidently stepped into the maze, which he considered his own. He then led Qi Jue and Quan Jue through the dense forest of the maze for half a day, only to find, to his dismay, that they were lost.
The Fist Master and Weapon Master also sensed something was wrong. "You Jun, what's going on? Didn't you say this was a maze formation right outside your house, and you knew it by heart? What's happening now?"
"This... it seems Aunt Yue has improved the maze?" You Shuyun said, trying to explain with a slightly embarrassed expression.
Fist Master and Weapon Master ＼(；￢_￢): ...So what do we do now?
You Shuyun's lips twitched almost imperceptibly. You're asking me what to do? I don't know either! How about we break the formation by force?
Just then, the Shennong Beast slowly emerged from the bushes beside the three of them. The three of them immediately became alert. What on earth was this strange-looking thing?
"Hmm? White hair? Is it Wuxiang City or the most powerful in the world?" Shennong Beast asked leisurely.
"You Shuyun of Wuxiang City, may I ask who you are...?" You Shuyun asked blankly. What kind of spirit has Aunt Yue found? Has a jade stone become a spirit?
"Oh, so those are our own people. Follow me." Shennong Beast remained calm and turned to lead the three of them to the center.
Upon seeing the Fist Master and Weapon Master again, Li Muyang immediately rushed over: "Damn it! You two dare to show your faces in front of me again? Come on! Settle the bill for the damage you caused in the fight last time!"
The two men's faces darkened instantly, and they turned to run away, but You Shuyun waved his hand and said, "The organization will reimburse us!"
"You Jun is magnanimous!" x2
"You two are supposed to be Grandmasters! How can you be so stingy! Are you that short of money?" Li Muyang complained, utterly speechless. These two had absolutely no Grandmaster demeanor! Seeing a Grandmaster like this, Sergeant Wu's Dao heart must be shattered!
The two rolled their eyes. What do you know, you rich kid? It's very difficult to become a master in the wild! Especially since most of the resources in the martial arts world are monopolized by a few major sects, the space for these wild masters to operate is not as spacious as you might imagine!
They didn't want to be bound by the sect, precisely because the Netherworld's management was lax. Besides the generous rewards for missions, they had plenty of personal time after get off work, not just during regular working hours! They weren't required to work overtime easily, and they even had social insurance and housing fund benefits! They also had a boss protecting them! If they were bullied, they could get revenge!
why not?
"Is this the kid who beat you two up?" You Shuyun looked at Li Muyang with a somewhat serious expression and asked Qi Jue and Quan Jue.
Hmm, for a moment he couldn't determine what level Li Muyang's cultivation was!
"You Jun, this kid is strange!" Qi Jue hurriedly explained to You Shuyun, "He seems to be only at the peak of the Mahayana stage in terms of martial arts, but his skills are unmatched even by a Grandmaster! And he also has a very strange counter-attack energy!"
This reminder piqued You Shuyun's interest; he was at the Supreme Realm! What was there to be afraid of!
Li Muyang (〃'▽'〃): Well, little brother, you're really brave!
Upon releasing the aura of his martial arts prowess, both Fist Master and Weapon Master were stunned. Grandmaster... Peak?!
Meow meow meow? Peak Grandmaster?! Were you pretending to be weak before?
You Shuyun stared at the two of them in astonishment: "Didn't you say he was at the peak of the Mahayana stage? This isn't the peak of the Grandmaster stage! It's a whole major realm difference! How could you be wrong?"
The two of them (￣ェ￣；): We don't know!
"Ahem! Don't blame them! I just broke through from the peak of the Mahayana stage to the peak of the Grandmaster stage last night." Li Muyang coughed lightly and explained with a bit of humility (and a bit of cheekiness).
You Shuyun (ーー；): Do you think I'm easy to fool?
Bai Yue added, "This kid wasn't lying. He Sui and I watched him break through to the peak of the Grandmaster realm. However, his meridians had always been open, but he just hadn't connected his internal energy."
"I see." You Shuyun could accept this explanation. If the meridians were already open but not connected to internal energy, then crossing an entire major realm overnight was quite reasonable!
What a load of rubbish!
They all used internal energy to open their meridians, and the internal energy naturally connected the meridians! Who has meridians that are already open?! Are you kidding me? Could this be the legendary martial arts prodigy, one in a thousand years?! Born with both the Ren and Du meridians open?
Well, circulating qi throughout the body and opening up the meridians are not the same thing! But while circulating qi throughout the body, the meridians may indeed be expanding imperceptibly! This is the only possibility that Li Muyang can think of!
Upon discovering that Li Muyang might be at the peak of the Grandmaster realm, You Shuyun's desire to take action diminished considerably, because he knew that Lu You had been severely injured by Li Muyang!
Although Lu You was not at the Supreme Realm, he was still at the Grandmaster High Realm and was a peerless expert of the Netherworld. In particular, the method by which Li Muyang defeated Lu You was definitely not a martial arts ability! Even if Lu You did not understand what that was, with his knowledge, he could guess a vague idea.
They were from a prestigious and righteous sect, after all. I've never heard of any martial arts technique that could conjure a small sun with one's hand! The areas where Lu You was hit by the attack looked like they had been burned and necrotic from extremely high temperatures!
