Breaking through to the Body Tempering Realm, unlocking the system inventory

The Piercing Arrow shot forth, becoming a dazzling streak of arrow light. Zhuge Xiang's attack power had already been enough to break through Zhang Kuang's defenses, and with the Piercing Arrow's defense-ignoring effect, this shot pierced straight through Zhang Kuang's shoulder, blasting out an egg-sized bloody hole. The terrifying impact also knocked Zhang Kuang off balance. He staggered back seven or eight steps, his foot found empty air, and he fell off the Martial Arts Arena. Already nearly at his limit, Zhang Kuang now had no strength left to fight.

"You lost..." Putting away the Hundred Refinements Bow, Zhuge Xiang stood at the edge of the Martial Arts Arena and spoke as he looked down at Zhang Kuang on the ground.

"That's right, I lost." Zhang Kuang showed no dejection. Though he was a spent arrow, the intense fighting spirit in his eyes had not diminished in the slightest. "You really are strong. I lost this time, but next time, I'll definitely beat you."

Zhuge Xiang broke into a bright smile. He admired Zhang Kuang quite a bit. Besides, he was quite happy to have a battle maniac like this pestering him, constantly delivering experience to him. Nodding, Zhuge Xiang turned and left the Martial Arts Arena amid the cheers of the Green Bamboo Peak disciples. At the same time, the system notification arrived right on cue.

"Ding! Defeated Zhang Kuang, Body Tempering Realm First Layer, above your level. Gained 520 experience. Obtained the Sword of Attack and Kill."

"His physical defenses..." Watching Zhuge Xiang leave, Lu Yuling had no intention of going over to speak with him. It was simply that the physical defenses he had displayed in this fight had left far too deep an impression, yet his cultivation was only at the Qi Cultivation Realm
