Whether it's Martial Arts or Spirit Refinement, breaking through a realm is not as simple as adding a point and having a "ding" sound.
Cell division and development take time, and the body needs time to adapt to changes.
Normally, it takes 2 to 3 days, during which time you need to rest. Not only should you avoid strenuous physical activity, but you should also avoid extreme emotional fluctuations.
So Lu Li began to live a simple life, and he wasn't allowed to eat pomelos or peaches, so that he could cultivate his character and emerge from his cocoon like a butterfly.
Silently observing the effects of Internal Breath on the bone marrow, and calmly adapting to the increasingly hot blood within his body, three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Early in the morning of February 18th, Lu Li woke up alone in bed and looked at her body.
"My blood... isn't hot anymore."
In fact, his body temperature remained unchanged throughout.
The feeling of hot blood is because the body cannot adapt to the sudden increase in energy levels.
The transformation is now complete; the cells have developed sufficiently and have adapted to the change.
Lu Li knew that his breakthrough had officially come to an end.
He went into the yard, walked to the Cadillac, and lifted it up.
The car, along with the two metal golems and the weapons in the trunk, weighed approximately two tons.
Lu Li felt it was alright, so he slammed the car down.
Hearing the commotion, the two girls quickly opened the door and ran out.
Xiao Cha's eyes lit up when she saw Lu Li put down the car:
"Congratulations Young Master Lu your Martial Arts marrow cleansing!"
She stretched out her snow-white, lotus-root-like arm and said with a smile, "Come on, let's give each other a handshake~"
Lu Li forward, shook hands with him, and then pulled him sharply.
Despite the immense force exerted on him, Xiao Cha remained unmoved, like an old tree with its roots firmly planted. He nodded and said:
"A strength of around 5,000 jin (2,500 catties) is acceptable."
The strength of 6,000 jin after marrow cleansing is just an average; the difference between people can be huge.
For example, Xiao Cha's strength is about to increase to 8,000 jin, which is why she can easily test Lu Li's level.
Lu Li was quite satisfied with his situation, after all, he had relied on spiritual objects and his foundation was not in Martial Arts.
At this moment, starlight shone in Lu Li's eyes, and a terrifying, invisible power erupted forth.
The car in the yard, several large millstones, stone locks, and two girls all floated into the sky at the same time.
Xiao Cha laughed heartily, opened her arms excitedly, and said:
"These things weigh a full 8,000 jin (4,000 kg), and your Spirit Refinement has greatly improved!"
"That's right, the spirit exists in relation to the body; a strong body leads to a vigorous spirit."
With a thought Lu Li withdrew his power and gently put them down.
"Thanks to the physical enhancement brought about by the Martial Arts marrow cleansing, my mental strength has also increased by 30%, allowing me to 'manipulate objects at the speed of sound'."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed.
Six flying swords flew together and lined up neatly in front of him.
After a brief preparation, they unleashed a barrage of shots!
Their speed is close to 360 meters per second! That exceeds the Mach!
When it accelerates suddenly, a loud bang is heard, which is the "sonic boom" produced when breaking the speed of sound.
The air around the sword was also somewhat distorted and blurred in a cloud-like manner, which was a "sonic boom cloud".
"This Mach Sword Control actually came about naturally, accompanied by the cleansing of Martial Arts marrow."
Lu Li smiled wryly, "Looking back, my mental strength was sufficient before, but what I lacked was this explosive power!"
When a flying sword breaks the Mach, it becomes extremely difficult to dodge, resulting in a surge in combat power.
Xiao Cha's eyes were full of admiration; although she was happy, she didn't quite understand the meaning behind it.
Wan Qing knew all too well the difficulty of breaking the sound barrier, which required extremely strong mental fortitude and control.
"My lord is indeed exceptionally talented!"
She had just uttered a sigh of admiration when she suddenly felt a chill on her skin, as if she had come into contact with something sharp.
Lu Li then took the "Mountain Breaker Sword" into his hand.
The sword's wounds have been completely healed through mental cultivation, and its blade gleams with a cold light, exuding a chilling aura.
At first glance, it looked as if something sharp was pressed against my eyeball! It gave me a fright!
"After it severed that katana, it upgraded."
Lu Li recalled the contents of "The Flying Sword Cultivation Manual" and gave a simple explanation.
Sword-type magical weapons are inherently inclined towards killing and destruction; after destroying their kind, they will evolve and transform, much like pets leveling up.
Xiao Cha asked with eyes full of curiosity, "Has it turned into a magic weapon?"
"No, it's far from that."
There is a very clear dividing line for magical treasures; they must be like the Kunlun Mirror, capable of transforming reality into illusion and entering the master's Sea of Consciousness.
Lu Li smiled and said, "At least its power will definitely increase significantly!"
He raised his hand and pointed, and the "Mountain Breaker Sword" actually unleashed a sonic boom that shot out at a speed of 400 meters per second! Far exceeding that of his many younger siblings!
The two girls clapped and cheered, but then, they were pulled into Lu Li's arms by an invisible force.
Lu Li put his arm around them and walked towards his room, saying calmly:
"So much good news, let's celebrate! It's still early, I'll take a long nap!"
"Sleep my ass!"
Xiao Cha raised her hand and pinched him, "You big jerk, you pervert! How could you say such things so matter-of-factly!"
Lu Li raised his hand to block, saying, "Listen to me, I have to leave for a while soon. Let's have a good talk before I go."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Cha paused for a moment, then quickly resumed pinching:
"That doesn't mean you can do shameless things! You're shameless!"
"Hiss~ Wait a minute~"
Unable to keep up, Lu Li quickly said, "Let's do it one at a time. Xiao Cha has to go to work, you go first?"
"Hmph! No thanks! I need to get to the National Martial Arts Association earlier to visit Sister Xia."
Xiao Cha pinched him a couple more times before stopping, but she still didn't get along with Lu Li.
She knew that Blood Exchange martial artist had keen senses, and that Sister Xia also Meditative Entry the cultivation of Spirit Refinement.
If I were to be intimate with a man first thing in the morning and he found out, it would be too embarrassing.
"Okay, I'll talk to you again tonight."
Lu Li didn't insist, and took the obedient Wan Qing into the house.
Crying soon came from inside the house. Xiao Cha spat and ran away.
~~~~~~~~~
Wan Qing was gentle and kind, always quiet and docile, and readily agreed to Lu Li's every request.
Lu Li naturally adored such a wonderful woman.
He hugged Wan Qing tightly, jolted her a few times, and said sincerely:
"With you here, I don't want to go back."
Wan Qing was overjoyed and said softly:
"If you like it, I'm willing to serve you every day, but don't let it interfere with your important matters. Besides, absence makes the heart grow fonder."
"Yes, I know what I'm doing."
Taking advantage of this brief period of desirelessness, Lu Li pondered what he needed to do when he returned.
The main purpose was to bring back the Calming Incense to the National Martial Arts Association.
Next, I'll check what's going on on Blue Star, but Jessica hasn't contacted me, so I guess everything's fine.
Meanwhile, in the other world, they must begin preparations to destroy the [Jiu Shan Sect] in order to obtain benefits such as cultivation methods and Spiritual Vein.
"We need more heavy firepower, Terminators..."
After pondering for a while, Lu Li finished loading.
Wan Qing sensed it and prepared herself for the impact.
After three days of vegetarianism, Lu Li resumed his days of indulging in rich and fatty foods.
