Breakthrough Again! Eighth Rank Mid-stage!

Chapter 50: Another Breakthrough! Eighth Rank Mid-stage!

Inside Little West Mountain.

Luo Fengyun felt both shocked and pained, as if his heart were being tightly squeezed in a large hand. If he hadn't been worried about being accused of bullying a junior, he would have already taken Lu Chen down without hesitation.

So venomous!

So ruthless!

He injured his son and daughter first!

Now even his eldest daughter's Dao heart had collapsed under his sword intent!

How malicious!

"Good, good, good, Young Hero Lu's swordsmanship is truly eye-opening!" Luo Fengyun gritted his teeth.

"Senior is too kind. I already asked for your consent, but unfortunately, you can't control your daughter either."

Lu Chen said calmly.

Since you can't control her, let society handle it.

These Luo family members are all spoiled.

First, there was Luo Qingshan, who was arrogant and condescending, wanting to cripple him the moment they met.

Then there was Luo Qiuyu, who was conceited and couldn't distinguish right from wrong, wanting to crush him as soon as she appeared.

Without strength, yet acting tough!

This is the consequence.

He had already shown them respect by not killing them.

[You have taught a conceited young lady a lesson, Merit Points +50]

"You!" Luo Fengyun's chest ached. He glared hatefully at Lu Chen, then at his eldest daughter beside him. When he noticed her trembling and still not recovered, his heart ached even more.

He took a deep breath and said, "Miss Qingqing, please come with this old man!"

Just then.

The sound of chaotic footsteps echoed from a distance again, drawing everyone's attention.

A group of figures in black robes was rapidly approaching.

"Are you Young Hero Lu Chen? Young Hero Liu Jinglan?"

Someone called out from afar.

"That's us."

Liu Jinglan quickly responded.

A group of people rushed over. The leader was an elder over sixty years old with gentle eyes. He first glanced at Luo Fengyun and cupped his hands slightly, "Brother Luo, thank you for your hard work!" He then turned his gaze to Lu Chen and Liu Jinglan.

His eyes then fell on Cui Qingqing, and he showed joy.

"This must be the young lady?"

"Who are you?"

Cui Qingqing instinctively stepped back.

"This old servant is Cui Hu, the butler of the Cui residence. I've been sent by my master to escort the young lady!"

The elder said excitedly, "Along the way, this old servant has heard that the young lady was escorted by Young Hero Lu and Young Hero Liu. I also learned that Young Hero Lu, in order to save the young lady, wielded his saber and defeated all enemies. Such a young hero is truly rare in this world."

Cui Qingqing let out a sigh of relief.

"You were sent by my father? These are my friends, please treat them well."

"Of course. Young Hero Lu, Young Hero Liu, please come back with this old servant. My master will surely reward you handsomely." Cui Hu cupped his hands.

Lu Chen frowned slightly and nodded gently.

After days of intense battles, he indeed needed a place to recuperate temporarily.

Moreover, he had made too many enemies in the past few days and needed to lie low.

Just then.

Cui Hu suddenly turned his head and looked in another direction, calling out, "Centurion He, since you're here, why not show yourself?"

He Qianxing, who was in the distance, cursed inwardly. He had no choice but to emerge from the dense forest with a few squad leaders, laughing heartily, "Old Brother Cui, it's been many years since we last met. Are you well? Hahaha..."

Ten years ago, when Prince Cui broke the Northern Barbarians' formation and won successive victories, he had also served under Prince Cui.

He and Cui Hu were old acquaintances.

Later, when Prince Cui was stripped of his military power, he pulled some strings and joined the Town Suppression Bureau. Lu Chen's eyes turned cold as he fixed them on He Qianxing and his group.

The Town Suppression Bureau!

They've arrived so quickly!

"Thanks to Brother He's good fortune."

Cui Hu's expression was calm.

He Qianxing suddenly looked at Lu Chen and said coldly, "Young Hero Lu, I've heard about your character along the way, and I even know everything that happened in Panshi City. That County Magistrate Lin Mingyuan is indeed not a good person, but no matter how bad he is, there are still laws of the imperial court. You killed Lin Mingyuan, which is a violation of the imperial law. No one can change that. Today, I won't make things difficult for you out of respect for Prince Cui, but other experts from the Town Suppression Bureau will still hunt you down all over the world. I hope you will take care of yourself."

"Is that so?"

Lu Chen sneered and said, "Town Suppression Bureau, what a grand title!"

Every Town Suppression Guard he had encountered along the way was overbearing and rampant. Even if they didn't look for him.

He would look for them for Merit Points.

The two sides were like fire and water.

"Alright, everyone, please stop talking. Let's go back and see the master first."

Cui Hu cupped his hands repeatedly.

Everyone else fell silent.

Led by Cui Hu, the group left one after another.

The night passed.

The morning sun rose.

The battle at Little West Mountain spread throughout the world, causing a sensation in all directions.

In an elegant room.

A middle-aged man with an excellent appearance had a grim expression. Upon receiving the news, he smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground, shouting, "Useless, all useless!"

"We also didn't expect Lu Chen to be an Eighth Grade expert."

The person in front of him had a shifting expression.

This time, to get Cui Qingqing back, they had mobilized all the manpower they could.

But unfortunately, they failed!

Facing an Eighth Grade expert, all their plans were in vain.

Moreover, Lu Chen's improvement was too fast.

He was Seventh Grade three days ago.

Now he was Eighth Grade!

This made him suspect if Lu Chen had been hiding his strength from the beginning!

"Lu Chen..."

The middle-aged man repeated the name, sighing to the sky.

...Another direction.

Qinghe County Governor's Office.

Battalion Commander Gongsun Ming also received a secret report from He Qianxing. His expression changed, and he heavily smashed the inkstone in his hand onto the ground with a loud bang.

"Eighth Grade, Lu Chen has really reached Eighth Grade. Lin Mingyuan, I'll f*ck your mother!"

The Battalion Commander could no longer maintain his composure and cursed loudly in the room.

Fourteen days of martial arts training!

From a beggar who knew nothing, he broke through to Eighth Grade!

What kind of speed was this?

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a reincarnation of a martial god!

Such a heaven-defying talent, and Lin Mingyuan actually forced him into becoming a rebel! Damn Lin Mingyuan!

He wished he could flay Lin Mingyuan's corpse.

"My Lord, someone from Grand Commander Yu Siyuan has arrived."

Suddenly, a Captain rushed in quickly from outside.

"Yu Siyuan? Is this to seek justice for Yu Tianli?"

Gongsun Ming understood almost instantly and quickly sneered, "Good, if Yu Siyuan wants to meddle, then hand this hot potato over to him. Let's see how he handles it."

If Lu Chen could be killed, that would be best.

If Lu Chen couldn't be killed, then Lu Chen's future revenge would have nothing to do with him.

"Quick, invite Lord Yu's confidant in!"

Gongsun Ming laughed heartily.

Guyun Town. The town was not large, and could be considered remote.

This was where Prince Cui lived in seclusion.

Lu Chen was arranged in a quiet room to rest upon his arrival.

At this moment, his gaze was fixed entirely on the panel.

The Merit Points on the panel had reached a staggering 4779.

He was richer than ever before.

"Merit Points, let's add some to the Nine Heavens Cultivation Method!"

[Ding! You have consumed 2200 Merit Points. The Nine Heavens Cultivation Method has been upgraded to the Sixth Level!]

[Your cultivation has reached Eighth Grade (66%!)!]

[The next upgrade requires 3000 Merit Points!]

Several lines of text quickly appeared.

Boom!

A powerful surge of Internal Energy roiled within him, vast and mighty, like endless waves, bringing with it potent life force.

"Eighth Grade Mid-stage?"

Lu Chen frowned.

He had initially thought he would reach Eighth Grade Late-stage.

To his surprise, he had only just passed the mid-stage.

It seemed the further one progressed, the harder it became to break through.

Ultimately, it was due to the limitations of the cultivation method.

After all, this was only a High Grade cultivation method, not an Exquisite Grade or Divine Grade.

But this was not a cause for concern.

Once he accumulated more Merit Points later, he would definitely reach Eighth Grade Late-stage.

He might even directly enter Ninth Grade!

"With all my major cultivation methods at perfection, I need more sword techniques, saber techniques..."

Especially sword techniques.

He had just touched the threshold of Sword Intent and needed to observe more sword techniques to fill out his Sword Intent and strengthen it.

This would allow his Sword Intent to stabilize completely. Secondly, saber techniques.

His saber techniques had already developed Saber Momentum.

Saber Momentum was the nascent form of Saber Intent.

As long as he continued to fuse and cultivate it, one day, Saber Intent would emerge.

At that time.

He would truly be peerless in both saber and sword.

"Young Hero Lu..."

Suddenly, Cui Hu's voice sounded from outside the door.

"My Lord has something to request..."
