"Success!"
Xia Ping felt the surging true essence within him. After breaking through another meridian, he sensed that he had risen to a new realm, reaching the ninth level of the Martial Master Realm.
This was simply the power at the peak of the Martial Master Realm!
At this moment, he had opened a full hundred meridians. Once he opened all one hundred and eight, connecting every meridian throughout his body, he would possess the strength to challenge the Grandmaster Realm.
"What's going on? The true essence in my body has transformed?!"
At this moment, Xia Ping discovered that the dantian sea within him had undergone an enormous transformation. His true essence had become incomparably dense, countless times more formidable than that of an ordinary Martial Master.
A quantitative change had produced a qualitative transformation!
A vortex formed in his dantian sea. Refined by the Sun Furnace, vast amounts of true essence underwent a transformation, condensing into wisps of incomparably tough energy.
Astral qi!
Xia Ping immediately recognized it. This was astral qi, a power possessed only by Grandmaster Realm experts!
True qi, true essence, astral qi—this was the path of a martial artist's step-by-step transformation. To advance into the Grandmaster Realm, all the true essence in one's body had to transform and give birth to the power of astral qi.
Once one possessed astral qi, one's attack power, speed, and defense would all increase severalfold beyond those of the Martial Master Realm.
"So this is astral qi?"
With a thought from Xia Ping, a wisp of incomparably sharp astral qi immediately surged from his fingertip. Like an indestructible sword, it could effortlessly pierce through steel.
Its power was unknown how many times greater than true essence.
Legend had it that Grandmaster Realm experts could fight missiles barehanded, fear no
