One Day Entry to Grandmaster

Chapter 6: Reaching Grandmaster in a Day

Wang Ritain's blade fell, and Xuanyuan Jingyi's head rolled to the ground. Blood gushed out like a fountain, spreading across the ground and dyeing the surrounding earth a dark red. In that moment, the entire world seemed to freeze. Everyone was stunned into silence by the bloody and shocking scene before them.

Wang Ritain slowly raised his head, his eyes as cold as frost. The biting killing intent and dense demonic energy surged like a tide, instantly sweeping through the surroundings.

Every pore on his body seemed to exude a chilling aura.

The retainers and family disciples present felt an invisible pressure bearing down on them, making it difficult to breathe. Their legs involuntarily weakened, and they trembled as they knelt on the ground.

Xuanyuan Qingfeng stood in the distance, witnessing it all. Her eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. Wang Ritain's transformation was truly astonishing. The once cowardly and bullied Wang Ritain of the family had now become a fearsome, peerless expert.

The blade intent he exuded made even Xuanyuan Qingfeng, who had cultivated top-tier techniques, feel her true qi churn within her, as if it were about to spiral out of control. She couldn't help but feel fortunate that Wang Ritain had held back earlier; otherwise, she would have likely met her end.

Wang Ritain scanned the crowd, slightly retracting the true qi from his body. However, even with this, the residual aura he emitted still made everyone too afraid to move. Their eyes were filled with terror, as if Wang Ritain were the god of death himself, capable of taking their lives with the slightest misstep.

Wang Ritain flicked his wrist, sheathing his long saber with a crisp sound.

He brushed his sleeve, turned, and began walking down the mountain. His steps were steady and firm, each one seeming to land on the hearts of the onlookers. They watched his retreating back, their hearts filled with humiliation, yet not a single person dared to speak up or stop him. They could only watch as Wang Ritain gradually moved away until he disappeared from their sight.

After Wang Ritain's departure, the members of the Xuanyuan family remained immersed in fear and shock. It took a long while before someone dared to whisper amongst themselves, their voices still filled with apprehension, lest Wang Ritain overhear them.

The next day, sunlight streamed into a bustling tavern. The place was filled with noise, patrons sitting in groups, drinking and discussing various strange tales from the jianghu. Just then, a swordsman dressed in black stepped onto the tavern's high platform, cleared his throat, and announced loudly, "Everyone, I've just come from Huishan and have some earth-shattering news for you all!"

Hearing his words, everyone put down their wine cups and turned their gaze towards him, their faces full of curiosity. The swordsman smiled smugly and continued, "Do you know that in the Xuanyuan family of Huishan, someone has been slaughtering people there!"

"What?" The crowd was immediately shocked. The Xuanyuan family was a top-tier force in the jianghu, with deep foundations and countless experts. Even many renowned sects dared not offend them lightly. Now, someone had dared to go on a killing spree on their territory; it was almost unbelievable.

"This... how is this possible? Who was so bold?" a patron asked in surprise.

The swordsman smiled mysteriously and was about to speak when the tavern door was suddenly pushed open, and several burly men strode in. They exuded a strong aura of menace, clearly indicating they were formidable figures from the jianghu.

One of the burly men scanned the patrons in the tavern and declared loudly, "Listen up, everyone! The Xuanyuan family has dispatched Xuanyuan Jingxuan down the mountain to hunt down the person who caused trouble at the family. The Xuanyuan family has also promised that whoever can kill this person will become a personal disciple of Xuanyuan Dapan!"

"What? Become a personal disciple of Xuanyuan Dapan?" This news instantly exploded in the tavern. The eyes of the patrons lit up with greed. After all, Xuanyuan Dapan was a top expert in the jianghu, and the status of his personal disciple was no small matter.

"This is a golden opportunity!"

"Indeed, as long as that person can be killed, one can soar to success from now on!"

The crowd began to discuss animatedly, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. They were already mentally calculating how they could seize this opportunity and become Xuanyuan Dapan's personal disciple.

Meanwhile, Wang Ritain was walking along a small path in the jianghu. He had heard many rumors about himself along the way, but instead of feeling fear, he was secretly pleased. He became even more certain that his previous strategy was correct; the more commotion he caused, the higher his reputation in the jianghu would become.

As he walked, Wang Ritain felt a bit tired and found a quiet spot to rest. He closed his eyes and began circulating the cultivation technique within him. As the technique circulated, he felt the true qi within his body surging like a tide, constantly impacting the bottleneck of his realm.

"Boom!" Suddenly, a loud noise erupted within Wang Ritain's body. He had successfully broken through the bottleneck of his realm, reaching the peak of Grandmaster in one go. His strength increased dramatically, and feeling the surging power within him, a satisfied smile appeared on Wang Ritain's face. However, he was not content with this. He knew that with his current strength, facing Xuanyuan Jingxuan would likely still be far from enough.

Wang Ritain opened his eyes and looked at the continuously fluctuating reputation points on the system interface. To improve his strength, he unhesitatingly chose to exchange for the Innate Dao Body and Three Points Return to Origin Qi (Novice).

"Ding!" With the system's prompt, Wang Ritain felt a powerful force surge into his body. His body emitted a dull sound, as if something was changing within him. The true qi circulated more smoothly, its condensation far exceeding that of ten times his peers.

A moment later, the Three Points Return to Origin Qi had completed a full cycle within Wang Ritain's body, and he had successfully reached the novice stage. His martial arts realm also directly advanced to Half-step Grandmaster. Wang Ritain felt the powerful strength within him and nodded inwardly, thinking that his current strength was barely sufficient.

Wang Ritain slowly stood up, preparing to continue his journey. Just then, he suddenly heard someone shout from nearby, "Look quickly, that person is Wang Ritain, the one the Xuanyuan family has put a bounty on!"

This shout immediately drew the attention of many jianghu figures. They all turned their heads to look at Wang Ritain, their eyes flashing with greed. Wang Ritain's expression changed slightly; he knew trouble had arrived.
