Want Tier 3 Transcendence? First Comprehend Heaven and Earth Will

Lin Fanlong's words left Su Zhan in awe.

He knew that his level of skill and strength was definitely outstanding among the Four Greats... but this was the first time he had found out exactly how outstanding.

As things stand at the moment.

If Tier 4 Transcendence is considered top-tier and Tier 3 Transcendence is considered first-rate, then his current strength can only be considered second-rate... However, this second-rate level is not just in Dragon Martial, but in the entire Four Greats Martial Arts School, the entire Yanhuang Martial Arts School, and even the entire world's Martial General level arts geniuses!

Not to mention the whole world, just within the Yanhuang alone, there are countless small cities, large Great City, and Giant City... especially one extremely mysterious Core City.

There are countless powerful Aristocratic Clan like the Crimson Moon and Ancient Moon within the clan... and even more powerful Aristocratic Clan than the Ancient Moon are as numerous as the stars in the sky.

Numerous high-end resources.

Countless top-tier Cultivation Method.

Countless experts provided guidance.

Countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

It's conceivable.

Even in many small towns, Lineage can produce students who are comparable to Beginner Martial Master before the College Entrance Examination... With so many resources supporting them, it's no wonder that the descendants of top Lineage and aristocratic Aristocratic Clan are so powerful.

Not only that.

Like begets like; how could the talent of someone born into a Martial King Rank or even Martial Emperor level person be inferior to that of an ordinary person?

They are born with a bloodline advantage, allowing them to cultivate and comprehend faster than ordinary people... They have Cultivation Method, treasures, and famous teachers. Their advantages are far greater than those of Su Zhan and Lin Jinyu. It is no exaggeration to say that some extraordinary, freakish geniuses have emerged from them.

In Heaven City, Lin Jinyu is considered a genius for reaching the Beginner Martial Master at her age. However, in the eyes of those top Lineage, someone who hasn't reached the Martial General level at that age probably doesn't even qualify as a genius!

Under this standard, someone like Gu Yunlou is considered the most useless and incompetent junior... The average should be Jiang Yin Yue, or even higher, reaching the level of Bi Lin Martial Commander or Qi Xian Martial Commander to be considered normal.

"Uncle Lin, why must the jump be set at the Martial General level? Is there something involved?" Su Zhan asked.

There must be something fishy about the fact that universities all over the world use Advanced Martial General as the standard for skill level.

"Yeah, Dad, I always thought this was perfectly normal, but now that I think about it, it's not as simple as it seems... Why do people always try to upgrade their Advanced Martial General beyond their current level? I've never even heard of anyone upgrading their Limit Martial Marshal." Lin Baitian was also curious.

Three points.

"First, this is the first stage of Martial Artist's Life Element level transformation."

"You should all be able to sense that the leap from Martial General level to Martial Marshal level is a qualitative change, far more difficult than the sum of all your previous realms combined... The reason is simple: the transition from Martial General level to Martial Marshal level involves a fundamental change in Life Element level!"

"To put it more simply, those of you at the Martial General level are still just ordinary people, but once you reach the Martial Marshal level, you begin to transcend the level of ordinary people."

"Although they may appear to be just ordinary mortals, the differences between them are actually enormous."

"Most Martial General level can only cultivate Earth Grade Technique at most and sense a trace of the World Power, while Martial Marshal level can cultivate Heaven Grade Technique, influencing heaven and earth with every move they make, and their strength is ridiculously powerful... Therefore, Martial Marshal level are like demigods to all Martial Artist below them, and can kill them with a mere wave of their hand!"

"And it is precisely this huge watershed that leads geniuses to choose the Martial General level as the foundation for their future."

"Therefore, this leads to the second point: the optimal level for building a solid foundation."

Lin Fanlong continued, "Since this is the first watershed moment, naturally, a solid foundation will make your subsequent path smoother... This also means that anyone at the Martial General level, the higher the realm they cross, the stronger they become. Once they break through to the Martial General level and enter the Martial Marshal level, their future achievements will be even greater!"

"Of course, this is not entirely absolute. There are also some people who did not reach the Martial General level who eventually became Martial King or even Martial Emperor level— transcendent beings... However, relatively speaking, the proportion and number of strong individuals born from these cross-level geniuses are higher."

"Therefore, more and more forces have begun to promote the practice of using Martial General level characters, and it has proven to be extremely efficient in cultivating talent... Almost 99% of the geniuses who can advance beyond the Martial General level will achieve great success in the future."

"But that's on the condition that it doesn't fail halfway through."

Su Zhan understood.

The Martial General level is like laying the foundation.

The more stable the foundation, the taller the building can be constructed in the future, allowing one to stand higher and see further... That's why countless geniuses follow one after another, choosing to play Martial General level to solidify their foundation as much as possible.

"Another point worth mentioning is that the reason it must be before the age of 30 is because the period before 30 is generally considered the most effective... Once you're over 30, even if you manage to stay at the Martial General level, it won't make much of a difference."

Lin Fanlong added, "Next, and this is the last and most important point, the reason why countless geniuses are willing to sacrifice their time and energy, and spend countless resources to cultivate them: the return of Life Element level!"

"Su Zhan should know better than anyone how difficult it is to advance to the next level... Perhaps your advancement speed is very fast before you reach the Martial Marshal level, but once you reach the Martial Marshal level, the speed will slow down suddenly and very obviously, am I right?"

"That's right, once you reach the Martial Marshal level, the difficulty of progressing becomes exceptionally high."

Su Zhan nodded in agreement.

He felt this very deeply.

Previously, his strength increased rapidly, like a rocket, but after reaching the Martial Marshal level, it became like squeezing toothpaste; he often had to exert tremendous effort to make any noticeable progress.

"The reason is the barrier at the level of Life Element itself."

Lin Fanlong revealed, "The Life Element level of Martial Marshal level is significantly higher than that of Martial General level. Therefore, any Cultivation Method you practice at the Martial General level, whether it's Earth Grade or Heaven Grade, will result in a noticeably slower growth rate... There will be a clear barrier that will hinder your progress."

"It's not that these Cultivation Method aren't powerful enough; on the contrary, they are incredibly powerful. Even Earth Grade Technique, once Perfection, can be used to contend against a Primary Grade- or Intermediate Grade- level Heaven Grade Technique!"

"And that power wasn't weakened, nor did it disappear; it was simply 'hidden' away!"

"Once you cross the Martial General level and reach the Martial Marshal level, and your Life Element force level catches up, all the hidden effects of your Cultivation Method will instantly return to you, bringing you unexpected surprises!"

Upon hearing Lin Fanlong's words, Su Zhan couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

He now finally understood why advancing to the Martial Marshal level was so difficult.

I see!

He had thought that the Martial Marshal level was really that difficult to reach. He had a bunch of Dual Attribute and Three Elements Earth Grade Technique and Heaven Grade Technique that he had broken through, and each one of them was almost at the Minor Accomplishment Perfection. Yet he had only reached the Intermediate Martial Marshal level... You should know that many Intermediate Martial Marshal probably haven't even reached the Intermediate Grade of Heaven Grade Technique. He was so far ahead, yet he only had this much strength. It turns out that some of his power was being hidden!

No, this can't even be considered a part; it's the vast majority!

But...

Doesn't this mean that all the effects of my current "weakened" Cultivation Method will be restored once I break through to the Martial Marshal level? At that time, I'll be able to kill Limit Martial Marshal again as Beginner Martial Marshal!

Su Zhan's eyes lit up.

"Uncle Lin, do you know how those who Tier 3 Transcendence or Tier 4 Transcendence actually advanced?" Su Zhan asked the crucial question.

With so many Cultivation Method and so many advantages, he's still quite far behind others... There must be something fishy going on here!

"I know what you mean by asking this... I've witnessed your techniques, a variety of Cultivation Method, and multiple attributes. Your mastery of Cultivation Method is probably far ahead of even geniuses who Tier 3 Transcendence above you."

"I don't know the conditions for Tier 4 Transcendence, but I do know the conditions for Tier 3 Transcendence... You need the Heaven and Earth Will!"

"Almost every genius Tier 3 Transcendence possesses a wisp of the Heaven and Earth Will. If my guess is correct, it is the key to Tier 3 Transcendence!"
