Da Qing 279. Foundation Amplification: 254%. Talent Aptitude bonus: 4.4 times. During the bloodbath across the Snow Plains, you completed Bone Marrow Forging with Vital Energy. The crimson Force Qi throughout your body transformed into Gang Jin of quality countless times greater, and your strength surged.
Now, you were stuck at the step of "Perfect Unity." This too was a step that had to be achieved by yourself; no shortcut could rush it to completion.
The main difference in strength among Grandmasters lay in whether they had completed Bone Marrow Forging with Vital Energy. Thus, now that you had just completed it, you were invincible below Great Grandmaster. Even a peak Grandmaster capable of Manifestation of Spirit and Will would not dare take one of your ordinary slashes.
Even those with the "Dragon Elephant Strength Body" Talent Aptitude, the sort who could fight two or three opponents alone within the Grandmaster realm, were as weak as children before you now.
In the 280th year of the Great Qing, another strange man came from the direction of Shenjing, the capital. His arms and legs were extraordinarily long, half as thick as an ordinary person's yet much longer, making him stand 1.7 meters tall—only a head shorter than you.
Your body had already developed to its peak: one meter eighty-five, with balanced muscles and physique, unlike the bamboo-pole freak before you.
The bamboo-pole freak wore an arrogant expression, though his manner was somewhat awkward. Due to his startling height, he usually looked at people by tilting his face upward and slanting his eyes down. Yet before you, he had no choice but to look fully upward.
A chilling, sinister aura belonging to a Grandmaster emanated from the bamboo-pole freak, only to be shattered at once by your crimson bearing.
