Level Up in Martial World

Chapter 7: Constitution Evolving

Chapter 7: Constitution Evolving

Qi is an ethereal energy that permeates the world, much like air. It is present everywhere, but it is invisible to the ordinary eye. Only martial artists possess the ability to sense qi, in fact the beginning of martial art was formed through the discovery of qi.

If Qi had not been discovered in this world, it might have followed a similar trajectory as Lu Zhen's previous world, the blue planet. In that world, collective strength and conformity were prioritised, while individual strength and uniqueness were often suppressed. People spent their days immersed in virtual conversations, disconnected from the natural world and caught up in trivial matters.

So qi was the base of all things in this world for martial artists.

Lu Zhen dedicated himself to practising the Verdant Saber Art relentlessly, as if there was no tomorrow. The sound of metal cutting through the air echoed throughout the training room.

[You have practised your sabre.]

[Your sabre mastery has levelled up from level 1 to level 2.]

[You have practised your sabre.]

[Your sabre mastery has levelled up from level 2 to level 3.]

After seven days of intense and grueling practice, Lu Zhen finally achieved the third level of blade mastery. In that moment, he felt a profound connection to the world, as if an ethereal energy permeated the air. Although he couldn't see it, he could sense its presence, as if he had unlocked a sixth sense. The world around him became much clearer, unveiling its hidden layers and secrets.

"Finally, I have reached the first level of the Verdant Blade Art." Lu Zhen thought with a mixture of excitement and satisfaction.

However, before he could celebrate, a sudden change occurred in his body.

Suddenly, all the surrounding qi that was surrounding Lu Zhen was inexplicably sucked into his body, drawn by a powerful force like a vacuum. His body, which had already reached its limit, began undergoing further strengthening.

[Your body has absorbed qi.]

[Your physical constitution is evolving...]

A sudden prompt appeared, leaving Lu Zhen confused. After all, this had never happened before in this world, at least from what Lu Zhen had heard.

"Hmm, what is happening? I have never heard of a person being able to directly absorb qi into their body." Lu Zhen thought to himself.

"Could it be that I have strengthened my body to the point where I can now directly absorb qi?" he contemplated. However, Lu Zhen quickly dismissed that conjecture, although his body was strong, it was not unparalleled. There were many martial artists with stronger bodies than him.

"Hmm, that leaves only two possible options: either my body, having reached its mortal limits, is now capable of absorbing qi directly, or it is due to my cheats."

Martial artists in this world faced a peculiar phenomenon where their bodies naturally rejected qi, making it impossible to directly absorb and utilise it. Instead, they had to rely on the creation of qi pathways to strengthen and store qi within their bodies.

However, Lu Zhen possessed the extraordinary ability to directly absorb qi into his body, bypassing the need for qi pathways. This unique advantage enabled him to skip the trainee stage of martial arts and directly enter the third stage martial realm. Although he still needed to gather more qi and his power was not yet sufficient, technically he had already reached the third stage of martial arts.

What set Lu Zhen apart even further was his increased efficiency and control over qi. With the ability to absorb qi directly, he could harness its power more effectively and store larger quantities of qi in his entire body. This allowed him to tap into a greater reservoir of energy, enhancing his martial abilities and providing him with a superior level of control compared to other martial artists who relied on their pathways.

Although the advantage was huge, Lu Zhen still felt a little uncomfortable as he was not in control and was being carried along by the flow. Nonetheless, he continued his training After all, that was the nature of life.

Life never unfolds exactly as one plans. No matter how meticulously one prepares, it always remains unpredictable. Lu Zhen had learned this from his previous life. He had never been academically exceptional, but his passion for exploring the virtual world led him to become a highly paid computer programmer, surpassing even his own expectations.

As Lu Zhen pondered, a sudden surge of familiar pleasure coursed through his being. Though he had grown accustomed to such sensations, this time it enveloped him with an intensity beyond any he had experienced before. The sheer magnitude of the pleasure seemed to transcend his physical being, reaching deep into the depths of his soul.

A profound sense of ecstasy washed over him, his face radiating with a blissful expression that reflected the overwhelming pleasure he felt within.

He experienced a level of pleasure surpassing anything he had ever felt before.

Overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of the sensation, he directly fainted on the floor, unable to withstand the intensity of the pleasure.

As he fainted, suddenly his little brother rose up like a mighty dragon, standing tall and proud. As if reaching heaven, the sheer size of his monstrosity would have made females wet but too bad there weren't any females to watch his little brother or was there?

Time flowed steadily like a river, with each passing minute bringing about subtle changes in lu shen's body. A whole day had passed, yet Lu Zhen showed no signs of awakening from his slumber.

Little Lily, filled with concern, walked around in circles, her worried expression evident. "What should I do now that the young master hasn't come to eat for a day?" she pondered.

Over the past seven days, Lu Zhen had rarely gone outside, dedicating himself to intense training, emerging only to have meals twice a day and immerse himself in a cold water bath. The sound of metal cutting through the air resonated loudly from his training room, reaching the ears of Little Lily. She knew that her young master was training arduously, and she couldn't help but admire his unwavering determination.

In the past, Lu Zhen had been preoccupied with gambling and drinking, but now he devoted his entire day to training. This change brought joy to Little Lily's heart. However, on this particular day, Lu Zhen remained confined to his room, leaving Little Lily perplexed and worried that something might have occurred to her beloved young master.
