Nothing unexpected happened. On this day, after his seventh epiphany of the Evergreen Turtle Breath Technique, its realm successfully rose from Great Accomplishment to the Perfection Realm, and Chen Mo's strength improved considerably...

The strength of one arm had already exceeded ten thousand jin. Every movement brimmed with power, and he needed some time to adapt. His senses had also grown increasingly sharp; every blade of grass and tree within dozens of meters around him could be perceived clearly.

His realm remained at the Divine Valor Realm.

"After a cultivation technique reaches Perfect Accomplishment, it adds another twenty-five years to my lifespan. I simply can't live them all out."

After a little humblebragging, Chen Mo turned his gaze to the aptitude section of the panel.

"My aptitude really has improved. Dragon Among Men... Now I definitely deserve to be called a genius, right? I just wonder how much of a boost my current aptitude gives me when cultivating techniques, and how much it improves the effects of epiphanies?"

At that thought, anticipation appeared in Chen Mo's eyes.

Then the familiar weakness, as though every shred of energy in his body had been drained dry, pulled him back to reality. With one hand, Chen Mo grabbed the wooden barrel beside him filled with Great Tonic Soup and began guzzling it down. He went to the toilet three times along the way and relieved himself.

Only after he had drunk every last drop of Great Tonic Soup in the barrel did the weakness in his body finally subside.

That was a hundred bowls of Great Tonic Soup!

"Just advancing a cultivation technique demands such terrifying amounts of energy. It's hard to imagine how terrifying the energy required will be when I break through to the Qi and Blood Realm. The cultivation resources I need will probably more than double, won't they?"

Obtaining high-energy cultivation resources had become an urgent matter for Chen Mo.

According to the information he had read in the Guo Family's Martial Path primer, a martial artist at Perfect Accomplishment in the Divine Valor Realm possessed ten thousand jin of force in one arm, a body invulnerable to blades and spears, and peerless endurance...

Comparing that to his current condition, Chen Mo felt that he had fully met those standards. However, he could clearly sense that he could continue improving; he had yet to reach his own limit.

"Next, let me see how efficient cultivation is with the aptitude of a Dragon Among Men." Chen Mo was filled with anticipation.

Of course, not tonight. He took a bath in a wooden barrel filled with hot water, changed into clean and refreshing clothes, read the Pharmacopoeia for a while, and then went to sleep.

Before the sun rose the next day, he was already up. By then, he had left the Inner City and arrived at a secluded corner of the Slum District. Along the way, he gnawed down three jin of dried meat to barely fill his stomach, then began cultivating to experience the effects of his changed aptitude.

The result was undoubtedly satisfying.

"At least a threefold improvement!" Chen Mo was astonished.

Having deeply experienced the joy of cultivation, Chen Mo worked himself to the bone that day, training from dawn to dusk.

That very day, he cultivated both the Wind Slaying Blade and Flying Swallow Steps to the Proficient level, while the Qi Concealing Art also reached the Proficient level.

Good things came in threes.

After hesitating for several seconds, Chen Mo decided to test the effects of an epiphany. He immediately used the epiphany opportunity he had gained that day on Flying Swallow Steps...

A few breaths later, the epiphany ended.

"It's already at Great Accomplishment?" Chen Mo was stunned again.

One epiphany had taken Flying Swallow Steps from the Proficient level, past Minor Accomplishment, straight to Great Accomplishment. If he used another epiphany, it would definitely reach Perfect Accomplishment.

Thinking it would not take much time, Chen Mo decided to raise all of his cultivation techniques another level.

They were all merely at the Initiation or Proficient levels, and they were quite an eyesore.

In only six days, relying on his own hard work and the help of six epiphanies, Chen Mo successfully "cultivated" the Wind Slaying Blade, Flying Swallow Steps, and Qi Concealing Art all to the realm of Perfect Accomplishment. His combat power rose considerably, and the panel looked much better too.

The Perfection Level Wind Slaying Blade allowed Chen Mo to unleash nine blades in one second. He had directly evolved from Three Blade Chen into Nine Blade Chen.

More importantly, after building momentum and continuously slashing out nine times, there was no longer any obvious stagnation when following up with another move. There were no openings left, and he could continuously use the Blade Technique against enemies. He was no longer a one-second man.

The likewise perfected Flying Swallow Steps gave Chen Mo the ability to tread through the air for longer periods. His footsteps grew increasingly light; even when walking over sand and dirt, not the slightest sound could be heard. His agility and speed had both improved considerably.

When it came to movement techniques, Chen Mo definitely no longer had any shortcomings.

As for the perfected Qi Concealing Art, it brought Chen Mo's control over his own aura to an utterly terrifying level. Martial artists of the Divine Valor Realm possessed long, deep breaths and explosive presences. Their sharpness was fully exposed, and standing amid a crowd was like standing there as a furnace—far too conspicuous.

Yet Chen Mo now looked no different from an ordinary person. He no longer had to fear having his identity as a martial artist easily seen through.

An essential divine technique for playing the pig to eat the tiger.

With these three cultivation techniques reaching Perfect Accomplishment, every cultivation technique Chen Mo currently possessed had reached the Perfect Accomplishment level. His next goal was to save up Enlightenment Points and advance these techniques further.

Feeling that he had yet to reach his limit in the Divine Valor Realm, Chen Mo knew that the Evergreen Turtle Breath Technique was certainly weaker in killing power than techniques of the same level. It lacked effects such as penetrating force and force dispersal, so he planned to advance the Silver Armor Technique and Fierce Tiger Fist once more.

As someone who treasured his life, he planned to advance the Silver Armor Technique first.

"Now that I'm already invulnerable to blades and spears, I wonder how far my defense will improve if my Body Hardening Cultivation Technique advances again?" Chen Mo grew even more expectant.

He looked toward the seemingly empty mouth of the alley to his right, turned, and swiftly left.

With Flying Swallow Steps pushed to its limit, all the surrounding buildings sped backward. Chen Mo encountered pedestrians along the way, but they only felt a gust of wind blow past them. When they turned to look, all they saw was Chen Mo's rapidly retreating back.

In less than two seconds, even Chen Mo's back had vanished from their sight.

The formidable physical qualities of the Divine Valor Realm, combined with Flying Swallow Steps at the Perfection Level, made Chen Mo truly fast now.

Well, speed only!

This left the people chasing after him unable to catch even a glimpse of dust. As they looked at each other, they could both see the shock in the other's eyes...

"Too fast. This Chen Mo has broken through again. As expected of a genius martial artist who reached the Divine Strength Realm at fifteen."

"I don't think this is speed that a Divine Strength Realm martial artist can display."

"You mean...?! No way, he's only fifteen! There isn't even someone this talented in the Prefecture City, is there?!!"

"Let's go back and inform the Family Head first. I think continuing to monitor Chen Mo would be an extremely unwise thing to do."

"Yes, yes, inform the Family Head!"

"..."

The two changed direction and hurried away, but neither noticed that Chen Mo had already circled back to a corner of a wall not far away.

"Family Head... I wonder which family it is?"

Just now, Chen Mo had been hesitating over whether to make a move against these two. In the end, he decided to forget it. Letting them report his situation back could be considered a warning and a show of force.

If they still insisted on making a move against him, Chen Mo would not be polite.

Other than martial artists of the Qi and Blood Realm, he feared no one now.

Based on the information he had recently obtained, aside from the two top martial academies in Hequ County, each of the other Four Great Top Powers probably had only one martial artist in the Qi and Blood Realm. All of them were already quite old, so they would not act lightly.

Although martial artists of the Qi and Blood Realm could lock down their own qi and blood, preventing their combat power from declining with age, once they grew old, if they suffered serious injuries, it would be difficult for their strength to recover.

Therefore, the Qi and Blood Realm martial artists within the county generally would not act lightly. This was the tacit understanding between the major powers.

If they acted, it meant the conflict could no longer be reconciled.

Just like the current situation.

The Qi and Blood Realm martial artists within the Three Great Families, who could be considered the foundation of their lineages, had all already been deployed.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo could not help but wonder: just how large was the gap between his current combat power and that of a Qi and Blood Realm martial artist?
