Zero Martial Arts Company Encounters Ambush

An Eighth-order Martial Artist, Super Regeneration.

The so-called severed limb regeneration isn't about re-growing a lost arm, but rather that as long as an arm can be found, it can be reassembled.

Even if the arm has been severed for years, or decades.

As long as there's Eighth-order vitality and another arm, it can be attached.

The Martial Artist stage is the foundation, with each tier possessing extraordinary characteristics.

All of it is based on one's own physical foundation, cultivating the body to far surpass ordinary people and reach a truly transcendent stage. For example: Tier 1 stimulates the body's vitality, making life vigorous and inexhaustible, delaying lifespan; Tier 2 grants skin like bronze and bones like iron, further refining the flesh and blood, making it impervious to blades and immune to all poisons; Tier 3 causes bones and roots to resonate, containing the universe within... until one completely forges their body into a killing weapon before entering the Martial Master stage.

Bang!

Lu Xuan punched the instrument used to test strength.

10,000 kg!

"Not bad, your pure strength has reached 10 tons, already comparable to a One-Dragon Martial Master."

The increase in strength made him feel that under his full power, he could fight an ordinary One-Dragon Martial Master to the death.

"Not enough!"

Future emails mentioned that the people who attacked his sister were all Ninth-order Martial Artists.

He couldn't stop before breaking through to Martial Master.

With this thought, Lu Xuan tossed the incomplete cultivation techniques and various scattered Martial Skills obtained from the auction into the Bronze Gourd.

"The Bronze Gourd can repair cultivation techniques and Martial Skills, so I'll take this opportunity to organize a set of suitable cultivation techniques and Martial Skills that represent my faction."

He didn't idle.

Lu Xuan poured all his resources into the gourd.

The Martial Skills obtained from the auction did not exceed Mysterious-level. For him, who possessed Earth-level Martial Skills, they were not very useful.

Specializing in one was enough for him.

But these cultivation techniques were greatly needed by the Great Wilderness Hall.

Soon, After pouring in various resources, the gourd finished perfecting the incomplete Martial Skills.

A total of five.

All were Martial Skills, named Nine Slashes of Raging Waves, True Fist of Desolation, Moon Dew Elixir Guidance, Three Arrows of the Blood Demon, and Nine Heavens Wind Control Art...

Lu Xuan deliberated and selected three Mysterious-level Martial Skills.

"True Fist of Desolation is a close-combat Martial Skill based on the physical body, which can serve as a Martial Skill for the Great Wilderness Hall; Moon Dew Elixir Guidance is cultivated by absorbing moonlight and is a rare eye-related Martial Skill, which can also serve as one of the Great Wilderness Hall's symbols; Nine Heavens Wind Control Art doesn't seem to be a product of this era, it should be from the ancient martial arts period of this world, and it's infinitely close to Earth-level... These three Martial Skills are enough to serve as the facade of the Great Wilderness Hall."

As the thought arose, Lu Xuan opened the Martial Artist System.

He copied one version of each of the three cultivation techniques and sent them to the six-person Martial Artist squad he had taken in while in the wilderness.

The Great Wilderness Hall was built in his name, so naturally, it had to have decent Martial Skills.

Otherwise, how could he make a name for himself?

"Steady progress in faction building is the key..."

After dealing with the Great Wilderness Hall's issues, Lu Xuan took out his own cultivation techniques and Martial Skills.

"Breaking through to Ninth-order Martial Artist in a short period is a bit unrealistic. For the time being, I'll focus on cultivating Martial Skills, and tomorrow I'll head to the place mentioned in the email to pick up some bargains."

Martial Artist combat.

It wasn't just about the concentration of vitality.

It also involved Martial Skills and weapons.

Weapons, Lu Xuan didn't have any high-quality ones.

However, future emails had mentioned that a merchant caravan from the capital to Jinling City would be attacked tomorrow, and among them would be a high-quality weapon.

He could just pick it up then.

As for Martial Skills, He had Earth-level Martial Skills repaired and completed by the Bronze Gourd, which was enough for him.

In addition, Lu Xuan had not consumed the fire-attribute divine ability from the Qi and Blood Golden Elixir.

For him, this thing was too scattered.

Although having many skills isn't a burden, cultivating multiple paths would severely hinder his progress, unless he was immortal and could explore every path.

Psychic power, and Earth-level Martial Skills were enough for him.

"I'll find a way to give the fire-attribute divine ability left by the Qi and Blood Golden Elixir to my sister later."

His sister's strength absolutely needed to be further improved.

This would give him some power for self-preservation.

Only then could he head to the front lines to train and earn more resources after breaking through to Martial Master.

After considering what to do next, Lu Xuan calmed his mind and began to cultivate.

While Lu Xuan was cultivating and breaking through.

The second day arrived quietly.

What happened at the auction yesterday had caused quite a stir.

News that Zero Martial Arts Company had purchased a Qi and Blood Golden Elixir spread throughout Jinling City, and videos of the Monster Potion Company being humiliated were everywhere.

"Miss, one hundred million Federal Coins have already been transferred to Mr. Lu Xuan."

On the hovering battleship.

A subordinate was reporting to Xiao Yu'er.

In front of her, a Skyfire Chicken that had already grown feathers was pecking at food.

"Have his background details been thoroughly investigated?"

Xiao Yu'er asked.

The subordinate opened a file and said, "Mr. Lu Xuan was not a Martial Artist before, or rather, he deliberately hid it and chose to live a low-key life. Later, his sister's outstanding talent led to her being admitted to Jiangnan Martial University on special admission... As for any other details, this subordinate is unable to find them."

Lu Xuan's background was simple.

It could even be called a blank slate.

Even a powerful entity like Zero Martial Arts Company could not find any detailed information.

Lu Xuan was as ordinary as ordinary could be.

"Interesting..."

Xiao Yu'er crossed her fair white legs, resting one hand on her chin and using the other to tease the Skyfire Chicken. After hearing the information about Lu Xuan, she revealed a sly smile:

"Joining the Holy Cult from an ordinary family, no wonder he can see some things."

Everyone has secrets.

Just like her, Xiao Yu'er, whose martial arts foundation was publicly acknowledged as destroyed and unable to advance further.

Yet no one knew that she had become a follower of the Holy Cult and was already far from what she used to be.

The cleaner Lu Xuan's background was, the more interested she became.

"Should I have someone keep an eye on him?"

"No need!"

Xiao Yu'er waved her hand. Just as she was about to say something, the battleship suddenly let out a roaring sound, followed by flashing red warning lights.

Wuwuwu--!

Boom!

Almost simultaneously, the entire battleship shook as if it had been violently struck by something.

Xiao Yu'er stood up, her expression grim as she activated the control panel. On the virtual screen, countless red dots were rushing towards the battleship.

Enemy attack!

"Everyone enter combat readiness! Martial Artists above Fifth-order, immediately exit the cabin to meet the enemy! Qi and Blood Martial Masters, protect the cargo!"

Saying that, She put away the small Skyfire Chicken and put on her mecha suit.

She didn't rush out of the cabin to engage in battle.

Xiao Yu'er first sent a distress signal to Zero Martial Arts Company, then switched to external view mode.

Only then did she see what was attacking the battleship.

Flying Monsters were diving down like arrows released from a bow, crashing into the battleship. They were smashed to pieces but showed no fear, and more and more flying Monsters appeared.

"Beast tide?"

Xiao Yu'er frowned.

Just as she thought this--

"Ching!"

An arrow's whistling sound pierced the air.

Brilliant light suddenly appeared in the sky, and an arrow imbued with Spiritual Energy flew like a missile.

Where the arrow passed, the void trembled.

The Monsters, merely touched by a trace of its aura, instantly vaporized.

Even though the battleship reacted immediately, its thermal weapons had no effect on the arrow, only slightly reducing its power.

The arrow still carried an aura of destruction, shooting forward relentlessly towards the warship.

"Not good!"

Xiao Yu'er's face paled in alarm. She fully unleashed the Spiritual Energy infused in her mechanical armor, her vitality surging forth to form layer upon layer of vitality shields around her.

Almost simultaneously, the arrow pierced through the warship.

BOOM--!

Beneath the white clouds, sparks, smoke, and Spiritual Energy exploded.

The moment the arrow made contact with the hovering warship, it shattered all defenses. Even the thick steel plates were like soft tofu at this moment, utterly defenseless.

One arrow, shot through, exploded the entire warship.

This power was in no way weaker than a missile.

Countless Martial Artists, clad in hovering armor, detached from the warship and shot into the sky, beginning their slaughter.

The warship, having lost its momentum, tilted from the sky and crashed heavily onto the ground below. Instantly, a dazzling mushroom cloud rose from the spot.

Raging flames surged like a tsunami, sweeping across the land.

In mere moments, the entire warship was annihilated, and the surrounding area for several miles was reduced to ruins.

Xiao Yu'er, wearing her hovering armor and having just slain several Monsters, gazed at the warship that had turned into a sea of fire. Killing intent solidified on her delicate face, and her aura exploded outwards.

"To dare attack Zero Company, you deserve to die!"

BANG!

The void cracked.

Xiao Yu'er transformed into a rainbow, a true dragon of vitality, devouring enemies in her path and charging straight towards the group of Martial Artists at the horizon who were driving the Monsters.

"Hahahaha!"

In the distance, a man with a bizarre appearance, horns growing from his head and wings sprouting from his back, let out a ferocious laugh.

"A bunch of Martial Artists living in a greenhouse wilderness, how much skill can you possibly have?"

"Today, I'll show you the brutality of the front lines!"

"Brothers, charge with me!"

SWISH SWISH SWISH!

As the strange man's words fell, countless Martial Artists in hovering armor surged forward.

BANG BANG BANG!

The two sides collided, and in an instant, the entire void was ablaze with starlight, blood sprayed, and it became a battlefield.
