Chapter 3: Breakthrough! Breakthrough! Seven-Star Great Master Fighter!

"Xiao Family Head, do you believe this old man now?"

"Even when you questioned him, he didn't even look at you."

Ge Ye snorted coldly. Jiang Han's stare had made every hair on his body stand on end.

With that, Ge Ye gave the youth beside him a meaningful look.

Understanding Ge Ye's intent, the white-robed youth stepped forward and closed in on Jiang Han.

Xiao Zhan did not speak to stop him. Judging from Jiang Han's behavior, something was indeed unusual.

Aside from the Xiao Family, Wutan City had two other great families. He had begun to suspect that Jiang Han was a spy sent by the Oba Family or the Galie Family.

"Speak! Who exactly are you?!"

The youth from the Yun Lan Sect wore a grim expression as he glared coldly at Jiang Han.

"Just an ordinary servant."

Jiang Han did not even glance at the youth. He even shifted slightly, because the youth was blocking his view. His eyes remained fixed on Ge Ye.

Progress: 99% Progress: 99% Progress: 100% Host's gaze target completed

When the progress bar filled completely, Jiang Han let out a long breath, and the tension on his face instantly melted away.

The next moment—

An energy storm suddenly surged around Jiang Han, rushing madly toward him.

Jiang Han's body was like a bottomless black hole, continuously devouring the energy of heaven and earth.

Thanks to the System's cultivation boost, Jiang Han did not need to guide the energy of heaven and earth pouring in through every pore of his body.

It was as if the energy had returned home. After circulating familiarly through his limbs and bones, it entered the vortex of qi in Jiang Han's abdomen in an orderly stream.

As that vast energy poured in, the once leisurely vortex suddenly began spinning at high speed.

"What's wrong with that servant?"

"What servant? Can't you feel the surging, powerful Dou Qi around him? He's at least a five-star Dou Zhe!"

"Just as that old man said, this guy is no simple man! How could a five-star Dou Zhe possibly be a servant? He must have infiltrated our Xiao Family for some purpose!"

In the hall, everyone noticed Jiang Han's abnormality and began discussing it.

"He's breaking through!"

"Take him down immediately! Interrogate him under severe torture!"

Ge Ye seemed to realize something and immediately gave the white-robed youth an order.

At the command, the white-robed youth accelerated and threw a punch directly at Jiang Han.

Jiang Han's gaze finally fell upon the white-robed youth.

Perhaps because of the difference in cultivation.

In Jiang Han's eyes, the white-robed youth's punch was unbelievably slow.

Too slow!

It was as though Jiang Han had already predicted where the punch would land. He casually shifted aside and avoided it.

At that moment, he did not regard the white-robed youth as a threat at all. Instead, he was carefully sensing the changes in the vortex of qi within his body.

Under the wash of that energy, Jiang Han discovered that the vortex in his abdomen was continuously shrinking, yet the Dou Qi it contained had become dozens of times purer and denser.

The meridians and bones within his body were rapidly becoming tougher and wider. Even his flesh was transforming, and his strength multiplied.

If not for the people watching all around him, he truly would have cried out in delight at this near-transcendent pleasure.

Accompanied by a dull sound.

Jiang Han knew that he had broken through.

He had advanced from a Dou Zhe into the ranks of Dou Masters!

But this was not the end. It was only the beginning.

Seeing Jiang Han effortlessly evade his attack, the white-robed youth's face darkened. He directly drew the sword at his waist and slashed at Jiang Han.

"Senior Brother, I'll help you!"

At Ge Ye's signal, Nalan Yanran also joined the battle, her slender sword dancing in her right hand as she thrust at Jiang Han from another direction.

"You're trying to kill me?"

Looking at the two flashing blades, Jiang Han's expression turned grim as well.

When the white-robed youth had punched at him earlier, Jiang Han had thought that breaking one of his legs would be enough.

But now, they had drawn their swords.

Since they wanted to exchange courtesies, he had no choice but to take their lives!

This time, Jiang Han stood where he was without dodging.

He slowly extended both hands. Pale white Dou Qi emerged in his palms before abruptly condensing into a layer of Dou Qi defense.

At the same time, a gauzy layer of Dou Qi covered the surface of his entire body.

"He actually broke through to Dou Master!"

"Yanran, get back here, quickly!"

Seeing the gauzy Dou Qi robe around Jiang Han's body, Ge Ye's expression changed in shock.

But it was already too late!

A crisp sound rang out.

With the support of the Dou Qi robe, Jiang Han caught the tips of the white-robed youth's and Nalan Yanran's swords in his left and right hands respectively.

No matter how hard they struggled, neither of them could pull their swords free from Jiang Han's grasp.

Without giving them time to change moves, Jiang Han snapped the blades and then violently flung them out.

The broken blades flashed with a chilling gleam, tearing through the air with a sharp whistle!

The white-robed youth and Nalan Yanran had no time to dodge. The broken blades pierced through their throats, bringing up sprays of blood.

After killing the white-robed youth and Nalan Yanran, Jiang Han did not even look at their corpses as they fell. Swift and decisive, he rushed toward the window and leaped out.

The System's cultivation boost was not instantaneous. It took time.

If he stayed where he was, Ge Ye would probably beat him to death!

And things unfolded exactly as Jiang Han had expected.

The white-robed youth's death might not have affected Ge Ye much, but Nalan Yanran's death drove him completely mad!

She was the future young sect master of the Yun Lan Sect!

Yet she had died right before his eyes!

If he did not kill that suspicious servant, how was he supposed to explain himself when he returned to the sect?

Seeing the direction in which Jiang Han had smashed through the window and fled, the enraged Ge Ye came to his senses and quickly chased after him.

Xiao Zhan and the three elders also rose from their seats, rushing out of the hall along with everyone else.

"Faster, even faster!"

Feeling the power within him rise, Jiang Han sprinted while praying.

After breaking through to Dou Master, the energy of heaven and earth flooded into Jiang Han's body even more frantically.

During the process, the Dou Qi within the vortex in his abdomen began transforming into liquid—one quarter, one half, until it was all converted.

As energy from the outside world continued to enter, the liquid energy gradually began evolving toward a solid state.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Finally, a diamond-shaped crystal about the size of a thumb formed, replacing the liquid as it floated in the center of the vortex.

At that point, Jiang Han knew that he had become a Great Master Fighter!

The influx of energy continued!

The diamond-shaped crystal grew increasingly bright!

Two-star,

Three-star,

Four-star,

Until the cultivation shown on the System page settled at seven stars, the energy of heaven and earth finally calmed down.

Just when Jiang Han thought it was over, a stream of information surged into his Sea of Consciousness.

It was a blade technique, similar to a Dou Skill, called the Extreme Blade Three Styles.

After digesting the stream of information, Jiang Han felt as though he had practiced it thousands upon thousands of times in his consciousness. He had already mastered every detail and every movement.

"Why did that infiltrating servant suddenly stop?"

"He must have accepted reality. Becoming a Dou Master at his age means his talent is terrifying, but he's still only a Dou Master in the end."

"Yeah, what Dou Master could escape from the hands of a Great Master Fighter? Besides, Ge Ye is a seven-star Great Master Fighter!"

Looking at Jiang Han, who had suddenly stopped ahead of them, everyone wore baffled expressions.
