Chương 108: The Advantage Lies With Me

The mountains are majestic, and the pine trees stand tall!

On a secluded cliff edge somewhere in Thousand Buddha Mountain, Zhao Rui sat cross-legged.

Bathed in the morning light and mountain breeze, its body remains unmoved!

Suddenly, the light and shadow around him became illusory, as if there were invisible currents swirling around him.

"rise!"

Zhao Rui let out a soft shout, and suddenly it was as if a floating cloud was supporting him, and his entire body was lifted into the air, sitting cross-legged.

Although the speed was slightly slow, its momentum rose gradually and very steadily.

After slowly rising a meter or two, his figure suddenly paused, and then he slowly sat back down on the cliff.

"Ha ha!"

Zhao Rui burst into loud laughter.

"Traveling to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening! A green snake hidden in my sleeve, full of courage! This is the life that we martial artists pursue."

"Finally, I've advanced to the Grandmaster realm. It turns out that true qi is something that arises from nothing, something that is born from nothingness, and something that is nothingness. This is the mystery of the human body."

"The human body is a microcosm, and the circulation of Qi and blood is like the movement of stars. The power of heaven and earth returns to its source, and naturally, endless true Qi is generated."

"This true energy should perhaps be called spiritual energy, or virtual particles, or dark matter; these are what this world has always existed."

"The so-called creation from nothing is just like the birth of matter—it comes from nothing and goes back to nothing!"

With a thought, Zhao Rui transformed all the boundless internal energy in his dantian into vast true qi.

With all twenty-eight acupoints opened simultaneously, the true energy of heaven and earth surged into the body, converging from within and without, replenishing it in both directions.

He raised his hand and pointed, and a stream of true energy the thickness of a thumb shot out, shattering a large rock in the distance into pieces.

"Six Meridians... cough cough... Mysterious Yin Sword Finger, complete!"

Zhao Rui laughed twice, leaped into the air, and sped down the steep slope.

Its body was like a rock sparrow, flying through the forest, its body surging with energy, so fast that the leaves around it rustled.

Half an hour later, Zhao Rui got out of the taxi at the school gate.

Although the taxi couldn't have come as fast as he does now, it's impossible for it to come back unless it can fly someday.

That way you won't become a "conspicuous bag" on the street!

Back at school, Zhao Rui didn't tell anyone about his advancement to the Grandmaster realm.

If we say it out loud, it might dampen the team members' enthusiasm.

It's better to keep a low profile.

After making a brief appearance at Mingchan Courtyard, Zhao Rui returned to his meditation room. He planned to use this time to solidify his Grandmaster-level cultivation and to plan his subsequent cultivation techniques for the Grandmaster realm.

The Grandmaster realm is actually just a general term used by ordinary martial artists to refer to those who have reached the Innate True Qi realm.

There are also distinctions above this level.

After he advanced to level ten, Wang Zhanshan explained to him the subsequent cultivation issues of the Grandmaster realm.

This includes the realm differentiation of the Grandmaster level.

According to conventional theory, after achieving the Innate Realm, there are three stages of True Qi Condensation, which are collectively referred to as the True Essence Realm.

Upon reaching this level, true qi transforms into liquid true essence, becoming denser and purer.

Its natural power is also greater, and there is basically no worry about depleting one's true energy.

Once they get really into a frenzy, they could fight for three days and three nights without any problem.

The destructive power of such a person is almost comparable to that of a live-fire infantry fighting vehicle with unlimited power.

As for the realm beyond the True Essence Realm, it is called the Divine Void Realm, which also consists of three realms. At this point, martial artists are no longer bound by the manifestation and release of power of True Essence.

Instead, it tends towards the power of the soul.

A single glance, a single thought, can unleash immense power.

At this point, the martial artist could be considered non-human.

While some unconventional firearms can still severely damage or even kill them, meticulous planning and a solid layout are required.

Otherwise, their chances of escaping are extremely high.

Only when you reach this point can you truly break free from worldly constraints and no longer have to depend on anyone else.

This is one of the reasons why martial arts and firearms coexist in this world.

Otherwise, no matter how many martial artists there are, they could not possibly defeat the modern army dispatched by the imperial court to encircle and suppress them.

As for those above the Divine Void Realm, Wang Zhanshan only mentioned the name of the Dharma Aspect Realm, without providing any detailed explanation.

According to him, he had never seen such a person before, nor had he ever heard anyone mention him.

Yes, it definitely exists, but he doesn't know about it.

The images of Abbess Jing and that old demon involuntarily surfaced in Zhao Rui's mind.

Inside the room facing the wall, Zhao Rui sat cross-legged, silently reciting the incantation of the Six-Character Enchantress Technique.

Only after truly entering the Grandmaster realm does the Six-Character Enchanting Immortal Technique unleash its true power.

How could a skill that can be called a celestial technique be anything less than excellent?

After practicing the Six-Star Enchanting Immortal Technique for two hours, Zhao Rui began cultivating the Seven-Star Divine Skill, which is also a top-tier internal cultivation method that leads directly to the Grandmaster realm.

Seven stars gather, their palm strikes thunderous!

The Seven Star Divine Skill at the True Qi Realm is practically comparable to the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms with special effects and sound effects, as seen in the Huang Rihua version of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms in my previous life.

It's incredibly powerful.

The only difference is that it doesn't have the dragon-shaped color effect.

Zhao Rui even had some doubts that this guy named Sun Hao in the youth training group was definitely hiding the power of the Seven Star Divine Skill.

This guy is probably just a sycophantic old man.

He's comparable to Cai Zhengyang.

These two cultivation methods, one for cultivating the soul and the other for cultivating true qi, allow for the simultaneous cultivation of both without any conflict.

As for the Heavenly Demon Illusionary Sound Technique, he practiced it in the middle of the night, firstly because it was quiet and undisturbed, and secondly because demonic cultivation methods prefer yin to yang.

Cultivation is more effective at this time.

Zhao Rui wasn't worried that after he started cultivating, he would be like some people, whose cultivation of demonic arts would be immediately obvious.

His body benefits from the system's support, allowing him to freely use every technique, which means that his true energy is attribute-free.

The attributes of a technique will only be revealed after the corresponding technique is used.

Otherwise, a mere clash of internal energy would have caused him to explode and die long ago.

This attribute is practically the perfect cheat code for committing murder, robbery, and framing on a dark and stormy night.

Zhao Rui only realized this after he advanced to the True Transformation Realm and had some enlightenment.

Cultivation knows no days or months.

Zhao Rui trained for half a month, occasionally showing his face at Mingchan Academy, but after showing his face, he would return to the meditation room to continue his training.

His elusive nature left Shen Xinzhu, who desperately wanted to get closer to him, feeling extremely frustrated.

They had to change their focus and first try to improve their relationship with Cao Guannan and Qin Rui.

As for Miao Miaomiao, she's also a "goddess," even more so than Zhao Rui.

I heard that Coach Wang specially granted him this "freedom".

The day was sunny and breezy!

Qin Rui demonstrated and explained the moves of the Prajna Palm to Shen Xinzhu at the martial arts training ground.

Suddenly, a girl's scream came from outside: "Luo Min, you're back?"

"Wow, Luo Min, you're even more beautiful now! You're going to be a big star!"

The compliments slowly reached their ears.

"Sister Qin, is this Luo Min the team member who acted with you?"

Shen Xinzhu asked with a smile, "She seems to be quite popular."

"Yes, they chose it themselves, unlike me who got it thanks to Zhao Rui."

Qin Rui smiled and said.

"Being chosen by oneself doesn't necessarily mean one has the ability. Someone like Zhao Rui, that's what real strength is."

"Haha, he's not here, so praising him won't help."

As the two chatted and laughed, they saw Luo Min enter the training ground surrounded by a group of male and female team members.

"She's definitely a girl who's captivating!"

Seeing everyone enter, Shen Xinzhu couldn't help but gaze over.

Just as she looked at the other person, she was surprised to find that the other person was also looking at her.

"Such a keen sense!"

"interesting!"

This time, a meaningful smile involuntarily appeared on Shen Xinzhu's lips.

The commotion caused by Luo Min's arrival lasted for quite a while before it subsided.

She naturally noticed the unfamiliar face that had been looking at her earlier.

Those exquisite features and sexy, slender figure make her the object of every man's desire.

After dealing with everyone's flattery, Luo Min smiled and walked towards Shen Xinzhu and Qin Rui.

"Senior sisters, you're back already?"

Luo Min laughed.

"Yes, we had fewer scenes. Is filming all done?"

Qin Rui replied.

"No, I don't have many more scenes than you guys. They're still filming somewhere. I heard they're going to the beach soon."

"Oh, then it'll probably be the end of the year or next year before it airs."

"Yes, it should be."

"Why haven't I seen Zhao Rui? He writes pretty good songs. I was thinking of meeting him and asking him how I never realized he was so talented before."

"He's like a dragon, appearing and disappearing without a trace. We haven't seen him lately."

"Oh? Is that so!"

After exchanging a few casual words, Luo Min looked at Shen Xinzhu, extended her delicate hand, and smiled, "Welcome to the martial arts team. My name is Luo Min."

"Shen Xinzhu, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

After a brief handshake, Luo Min took her leave.

"Is he close to Zhao Rui?"

After she left, Shen Xinzhu asked curiously.

"Yes, they were classmates in high school."

"classmate?"

Shen Xinzhu's eyes narrowed again.

"Yeah! Let's not talk about her anymore, let's continue practicing!"

Qin Rui interrupted, called out to Shen Xinzhu, and continued practicing the Prajna Palm.

With Luo Min's return, the martial arts team is finally complete again.

Wang Zhanshan specifically called Luo Min over and gave her some instructions, urging her to practice her skills diligently.

After all, she had been busy filming and hadn't been practicing her skills, while Wang Dalong and the others had been undergoing intensive training for over a month.

If she doesn't seize the opportunity to catch up, she will easily fall behind the crowd.

"Don't worry, Coach, I will work hard to improve."

Luo Min nodded seriously in agreement, but there was no trace of urgency in her lowered eyes.

Wang Zhanshan was very satisfied with her attitude, gave her a few more words of encouragement, and then waved her back to the training ground.

After she left, Wang Zhanshan thought for a moment, then took out his phone and called Zhao Rui.

But the phone rang for a long time without anyone answering. I tried redialing several times, but still no one answered.

"Is this kid cultivating again?"

Wang Zhanshan shook his head. Although he didn't like Zhao Rui's troublemaking style, the kid's diligence was truly impressive.

Seeing that he couldn't get through to Zhao Rui, he picked up his phone again, hesitated for a moment, and then dialed Cai Zhengyang's number.

"Zhengyang, you'd better work hard these next few days and pass on what you've learned in the training camp to Luo Min."

"Luo Min?"

Upon hearing this news, Cai Zhengyang was overjoyed. Not only had he broken through to level nine, but his skills had also greatly improved after this period of special training.

At this point, facing Luo Min, who was still at level eight, they clearly had an overwhelming advantage.

This is a good opportunity to "strategize".

There were only a few outstandingly beautiful girls in the group, and they either had ambiguous relationships with Zhao Rui or were "pulled" into the candidate list by him.

He didn't share a single spoonful with anyone else.

After much thought, only Luo Min seems worth a try.

"No problem, Coach, I will definitely teach you diligently, so please don't worry!"

Cai Zhengyang immediately agreed to take on the responsibility.
