Breakthrough

Wang Ritain stood there, clutching his now-shattered long saber. He looked as if he had just emerged from a pool of blood, his entire body drenched in it. The once dense, almost tangible demonic energy had completely dissipated, leaving his strength seemingly greatly diminished.

Wang Xianzhi, the legendary figure who stood unyielding in the martial world, was also covered in blood. A gaping, bleeding wound on his chest was a shocking sight, with blade intent still lingering around it.

As everyone watched the scene before them, their hearts leaped in alarm. They had never imagined that Wang Ritain could actually wound Wang Xianzhi.

For a moment, discussions erupted from all sides. "Heavens, Wang Ritain actually did it, he wounded Wang Xianzhi! With this kind of achievement, no one among the younger generation can compare!" a young martial artist exclaimed, his voice trembling with shock. "Indeed, how many top experts could achieve this? Wang Ritain is truly terrifying!" an elder beside him said, shaking his head slightly, his eyes filled with admiration and awe.

Wang Ritain endured the pain from his injuries, walking step by step towards the shore. His steps were a bit unsteady, but his gaze remained resolute. Upon reaching the shore, Wang Ritain looked up at Wang Xianzhi and declared loudly, "Wang Xianzhi, though I am defeated today, my strength has not yet reached its peak. When my power is fully realized, I will return and take your title as the number one under heaven!" His voice, like a booming bell, echoed through the skies of Wudi City, lingering long after. At this moment, no one within or outside the city dared to call him arrogant. Everyone looked at Wang Ritain, their hearts filled with reverence.

After speaking, Wang Ritain slowly drew his saber and turned to leave. The martial artists outside the city spontaneously parted, watching him depart. They knew clearly that the martial world was about to be shaken by this young man. Wang Ritain's figure gradually disappeared from their sight, leaving behind only a silent Wudi City and a group of martial artists stunned into speechlessness.

As time passed, the news of Wang Ritain wounding Wang Xianzhi spread like wildfire, instantly shaking the entire Liyang Dynasty. In the Two Chan Temple, Li Dangxin was meditating in his chamber when a disciple rushed in with urgent news: "Master, something terrible has happened! News from the martial world says Wang Ritain challenged Wang Xianzhi and actually wounded him!" Li Dangxin's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and the prayer beads in his hand dropped instantly. He slowly opened his eyes, which were filled with shock and worry. "This Wang Ritain, to possess such strength! It seems the martial world is truly about to change. His current power has reached a level that inspires dread." Li Dangxin knew well that Wang Ritain's feat would undoubtedly stir up a storm in the martial world.

On Huishan, the atmosphere was so heavy it felt like water could drip from it. The members of the Xuanyuan Family were initially disbelieving when they heard the news. "How is this possible? Wang Ritain is just a junior, how could he wound Wang Xianzhi?" an elder of the Xuanyuan Family asked, his face full of confusion. However, as more and more evidence came to light with the continuous spread of the news, they were forced to accept the reality. Xuanyuan Jingcheng and Xuanyuan Qingfeng were equally shocked upon hearing the news. Xuanyuan Jingcheng frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "This Wang Ritain is growing too fast. After wounding Wang Xianzhi this time, he will surely become a great figure in the future." Xuanyuan Qingfeng's eyes flashed with a complex emotion; she was both shocked by Wang Ritain's strength and felt a sense of admiration.

In the North Liang King's mansion, King Xu Xiao of North Liang was in his study, handling official documents. Suddenly, a subordinate reported, "Your Highness, something major has happened in the martial world! Wang Ritain challenged Wang Xianzhi and wounded him. This news has now spread throughout the martial world." Upon hearing this, Xu Xiao's brush paused abruptly, leaving a long ink mark on the paper. He narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "This Wang Ritain is quite an interesting character. With this development, something significant is likely to happen at Huishan." Xu Xiao knew well that Wang Ritain's achievement would inevitably lead to a significant shift in the martial world's landscape.

In North Mang, Tuoba Pusa had just emerged from seclusion when he heard the astonishing news. His expression instantly turned extremely grim, his previously calm eyes now filled with shock and apprehension. "Wang Ritain, managed to wound Wang Xianzhi? How is this possible?" Tuoba Pusa muttered to himself. He knew Wang Xianzhi's strength was almost unrivaled in the martial world, and yet Wang Ritain had achieved this. How could he not be shocked? "This Wang Ritain will surely be a great enemy to our North Mang in the future. The world is likely to be in turmoil because of him." Tuoba Pusa thought to himself, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

However, the clamor and shock from the outside world did not affect Wang Ritain. At this moment, Wang Ritain was alone in a secluded mountain valley. He opened his system and looked at the substantial Prestige Points he had gained from challenging Wang Xianzhi, his heart filled with excitement. "These Prestige Points can finally be put to good use," Wang Ritain murmured to himself. Without hesitation, he consumed the Prestige Points to heal his injuries. As the Prestige Points were depleted, Wang Ritain felt a warm current flow through his body, and his wounds began to heal at a visible rate.

Following this, Wang Ritain turned his attention to the Summoning Demon Scripture. He decided to elevate the Summoning Demon Scripture to a higher level. He consumed a large amount of Prestige Points again, dedicating himself entirely to improving the Summoning Demon Scripture. As the Prestige Points continued to decrease, Wang Ritain's martial heart gradually became clear, and his movements became more agile and spiritual. Finally, after consuming more than half of his Prestige Points, Wang Ritain felt a surge of immense power within him, and he successfully took a step into the Finger Profound Realm. At this point, Wang Ritain's strength had greatly increased, and he no longer feared experts of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm.

After breaking through to the Finger Profound Realm, Wang Ritain remembered the previous threat from Xuanyuan Dapan. A murderous glint flashed in his eyes. "Xuanyuan Dapan, you have acted against me multiple times before. Now that my strength has greatly increased, it's time to deal with you. This cancerous tumor of yours should be removed from the martial world." Wang Ritain clenched his fist, making a silent decision to hunt down Xuanyuan Dapan and eliminate this hidden danger for himself.
