Martial Research Master

Chapter 249

249 FINALE

Crimson Lord world-

“I have something to discuss with you.” Li Meng couldn’t help but think back about the words of the voice. What did he mean by piercing through the heavens?

“Is it related to the inheritance you got your hands on?”

“Yes. How did you know that I got an inheritance?”

“There are multiple indications around your body.”

“Are you referring to the lines of fate?”

The Keeper was surprised to hear his words. “Who informed you about the lines of fate?”

“The person who left the inheritance said these words to me when I was about to receive his inheritance. He said I have multiple lines of fate mingled all around my body.”

“Every action a cultivator takes affects the fate of this world. Although the effect for general actions is quite small, many fate lines are already weaved around your being. The ones which really stands out refers to the activities which are going to have a major effect on your future.”

.....

“Take the White Dragon King for example. He left his inheritance for you in return for the promise that you could take revenge against his enemies. It directly paved the way for you, a path which directly led to the level of Qi emperor. It has a great effect on the world. Cultivation in general is an act against the heavens. A Qi emperor cultivator holds quite a significance.”

“The second inheritance was left by the Heaven Cleaving sect. It holds even more of an impact on the world. They directly provide you with art, while also providing the necessary resources to achieve such a realm. You also have hands-on such powerful weapons at your stage. All of this leads to having a major impact on your martial path.”

“While all of these inheritances provide huge benefits for the martial path, it also directly acts against the heavens. Such major impacts give birth to real prominent fate lines, which are visible. You would be able to see them when you manage to pass through the saint tribulation.”

Li Meng was stumped into a daze. Saint tribulation referred to the heavenly calamity one had to pass to step into the saint realm.

“I have another query. The voice often referred to himself as having surpassed the heavens, piercing the heavens, being above the heavens etc.”

“You actually managed to gain the inheritance of someone like that. You are quite fated.”

“What those these words refer to?”

“He is referring to something which is referred to as Transcendence. He has already surpassed the power level which this world can contain within itself.”

“How would such an entity exist in this world then?”

“He is no longer within this world.” The Keeper said in a distant tone.

“Where did he went?”

“Something could be comprehended once you achieve an adequate power level. I am not allowed to reveal the secret to yet.”

“I want to know the secret. I must design the martial path I want to follow.”

“Something would simply bring more destruction than help. You would naturally come to understand the secret of this world once you step onto that level. If you really insist on knowing the truth, I could reveal once you step into the peak of Emperor level.”

Li Meng finally nodded in agreement., He knew that forcing the Keeper would lead to no results.

...............................

The third round was proceeding astutely. The first round of chits was lifted and the royal rumble officially began. The first two contenders belonged to middle-ranked Thunder-god hall. One of them had practiced the 9-Thunder body art until the 8th level and was a sword cultivator beside that.

The other contender was a Fist user. He was said to have learnt a set of Fist arts which were directly derived from the core arts of Thunder Academy. The referee came forward and explained the rules.

“The fight will continue until one side gives up or is unable to fight. Killing is absolutely forbidden with the arena. Once the opponent is proven to have lost, he will step down and the next group will step forward.”

The gong sounded and the first match began. Both contenders started the bout with a bit of restricted power. They didn’t go all out from the beginning. The fight continued and after a point of time, it was transformed into a match of stamina. It went on and on. Li meng slowly lost interest in their fight and returned to his tent.

“It would be better if I began comprehending the Lightning Devil body. It wants to see the secrets it holds. Mad Thunder King referred to it as an art which could compare with the Thunder-god body, and wanted me to develop it to a new extent.” Li Meng said to himself. He took out the slate and continued his comprehension.

.............

“The boy is quite confident in his strength. He didn’t even stay to verify his prospective opponents.” One of the representatives spoke up.

“Once the power reaches a certain height, it no longer matters whether you verify your opponent’s strength or not. They just turn into ants in front of your eyes.” The boy sitting with a carefree manner spoke up.

“Your words are too arrogant. How could he be sure to win the match? Although he has great talent in martial arts, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he is the strongest in here.” One of the elders spoke up.

“Do you want to bet with me?” The boy asked. The elder instantly turned silent. They just saw the Chu family losing a thousand elemental stones of middle grade.

“No guts when it comes to real action. I despise people like you the most. Does anyone want to bet with me? The baseline is 2000 Elemental stones of middle grade.”

No one raised a voice to reply. All of them were too nervous to contend with the guy. All of them had experienced the power of Li Meng.

..........................

The three finalists were soon decided after a whole day of royal rumble fights. The girl from Chu family stood at the top with no losses, while the other two belonged to the Thunder-god hall ranked 1st and 2nd.

Li Meng was soon called out and the four semi-finalists stood in the center of the stadium. It was time to conduct the final two fights.

“The contenders will be picked up randomly.” The elder was going to proceed when he saw Li Meng with a raised hand.

“I would like to request the elder committee.”

“What is it?”

“I would like to have the three of them come at me at once. I don’t want to waste any more time here.” The whole audience was shocked to hear Li Meng’s vow. He was prepared to get the fourth rank. This was pure arrogance. He looked down on the other three contenders.

“This is a blatant request. It wouldn’t prove anything if you lose. It is simply a waste of time to opt for that choice.”

“If I lost this match, I will officially be placed in the fourth rank.” The audience was surprised by the confidence in his voice. Just how confident was this guy. The other three contenders were clenching their fists and biting their lips up. How dare this guy to undermine them?

The referee looked at the elder in charge, who simply nodded his head. Getting the green signal, the referee asked the four people to move on stage.

.......................

“Do you still dare to bet on this boy?” The elder asked.

“I would also bet with you.” Another elder mocked the boy.

The boy simply looked at Li Meng for a moment and a smile appeared on his face. He looked at the group which spoke up.

“Why not? The baseline is 2000 middle-grade elemental stones.”.
