Entering Beginner Martial Artist, New Cultivation Method Slot Unlocked

As expected.

It's so much easier when you have connections in the court!

What I couldn't get at that price, I can get through the Lin Family!

"Then thank you very much, Elder Feng," Su Zhan said with a chuckle as he accepted it.

"Mr. Su, I shall take my leave then."

Elder Feng vanished in a flash.

Su Zhan couldn't even tell which direction he left from.

However, Su Zhan had no time to bother with anything else and immediately placed the VIP nameplate into the Shared Space.

"With this, the entire production chain is now complete."

A smile curved Su Zhan's lips.

The next day.

Su Zhan went to the school's cultivation hall as usual.

News of Su Zhan publicly killing a Beginner Martial Artist yesterday had spread, and the already somewhat famous Su Zhan became even more renowned... More and more people pointed at him as he walked.

Even the top students of Sky City Middle School's third year couldn't help but glance at Su Zhan when they saw him.

"Is that the kid who killed a Beginner Martial Artist with a single strike, bypassing ranks?"

"An Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist with such strength... I knew that Lowest Grade talent was just a facade; his talent is probably Marquis Rank at least!"

"Being in the same school as such a ruthless person makes our achievements seem insignificant!"

"..."

They couldn't help but sigh.

Those who made it into the gifted class were not lacking in talent, comprehension, resources, or background.

For them, being able to sweep through their peers and reach the peak of their rank was already quite good... but Su Zhan was even more outrageous, reaching the point of fighting beyond his rank!

Currently, they were on a completely different level from Su Zhan.

Under everyone's gaze, Su Zhan directly entered the cultivation room.

Then, he began to leisurely enjoy himself.

A moment later.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, your Cultivation Method Basic Qi and Blood Method has successfully broken through and reached the Minor Accomplishment stage!"

Boom!

As the system notification sounded.

Su Zhan's internal Blood Essence suddenly stirred as if it were about to explode.

A large surge of Blood Essence appeared out of nowhere, converging madly into Su Zhan's body.

He immediately sat up straight.

His body temperature rapidly increased, reaching a point where his skin faintly glowed red beneath the surface, causing wisps of white smoke to rise.

"Is this what breaking through feels like?"

"Martial Artist... so this is how it's achieved!"

Su Zhan could clearly feel the violent thumping of his heart.

Blood Essence was boiling.

Flesh and blood were swelling.

Tendons and bones were continuously solidifying.

His entire being was undergoing earth-shattering changes... the feeling was far, far stronger than when he broke through to Intermediate Quasi-Martial Artist or Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist!

The entire process lasted for about a minute.

Finally.

The transformation of his entire body was complete, a large wave of white smoke was released, and his Blood Essence gradually stabilized.

Su Zhan was drenched in sweat, and black impurities seeped out of his skin, emitting an unpleasant odor.

He himself gradually opened his eyes.

An unprecedented sharp light burst forth from his eyes!

"I can see more clearly... I can hear further... even my perception is much more sensitive than before... Martial Artist, this is a Martial Artist!"

Su Zhan experienced the changes brought about by his breakthrough.

He casually clenched his fist.

He could feel an indescribable surge of power.

Basic Qi and Blood Method: "Congratulations, Boss, your realm has improved!!"

Nine Fire Saber: "I feel like I've gotten stronger along with the Boss's improvement!"

Jade Body: "Me too! So that's how it is, when the Boss gets stronger, we can benefit too."

Bloodthirsty Rampage: "It's not just about benefiting, we rise and fall with the Boss. When the Boss breaks through, our strength can also rise with the tide."

So that's how it is.

Upon learning that the cultivation methods also grew stronger with him, Su Zhan's eyes flashed.

This also meant that if he were to use the Cultivation Avatar again, each of these cultivation methods would be able to display the strength of a Beginner Martial Artist!

"Come, let's test the extent of my current Blood Essence."

He placed his hands on the Blood Essence testing instrument.

Beep.

Blood Essence Value: 204 points.

"It's doubled directly!"

Su Zhan's expression was one of pleasant surprise.

The standard Blood Essence for a Beginner Martial Artist is 100 points.

Intermediate Martial Artist is 300 points.

Advanced Martial Artist is 500 points.

Yet Su Zhan, having just broken through to become a Beginner Martial Artist, had doubled the normal rate, reaching 204 points!

However, this was also quite normal.

He currently had three cultivation methods that had all reached the Minor Accomplishment realm.

The improvement brought by just the Basic Qi and Blood Method was significant, let alone the passive enhancements from the other two cultivation methods... His foundation was exceptionally solid!

"Let's test my strength again."

Su Zhan casually took out an Advanced Spirit Weapon and slashed at the humanoid metal post.

BOOM!

Strength: 3410 kilograms!

"Three thousand four hundred?!"

Su Zhan himself was shocked by the number.

The standard strength for a Beginner Martial Artist is 1000 kilograms, which is 1 ton.

The standard strength for an Intermediate Martial Artist is 3000 kilograms.

The standard strength for an Advanced Martial Artist is 5000 kilograms.

This meant that his current strength had already reached a level comparable to an Intermediate Martial Artist!

"Foundation!"

"My foundation has been a huge help!"

Su Zhan's eyes flickered with excitement. "Ordinary Beginner Martial Artists are fortunate if they have one Beginner Grade Technique reach a high level. I've reached Minor Accomplishment, and with three of them at that!"

"Not only that, I was previously an Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist. The standards for Blood Essence and strength were already set. Now that I'm a Beginner Martial Artist, with significant improvements in both Blood Essence and strength, using the same cultivation methods will naturally result in a greatly increased effect!"

This logic was simple and easy to understand.

The same cultivation method, performed by a Martial Artist versus a Martial General... the resulting power would naturally be different.

"Ding! Given that your realm has reached Beginner Martial Artist, and your cultivation method acceleration has reached 100 times, meeting the standard, a new cultivation method slot is unlocked!"

"Your current cultivation method slots: 4/5!"

The sudden system notification made Su Zhan pause, then a look of realization dawned on his face.

So that's how it is!

New cultivation method slots required two conditions to be met for unlocking.

Both realm and cultivation method acceleration had to be achieved!

"Finally, I know how cultivation method slots increase..."

"Perfect timing. Now that I've become a Martial Artist, I can openly pay a visit to the Lin Family... to tour the Lin Family's Scripture Pavilion and obtain an Earth Grade Technique."

"If possible, I'll also get the Lin Family to give me more resources and benefits... After all, it's an Earth Grade Technique. Without investing a lot of resources, it's truly difficult to improve."

Su Zhan grinned.

He knew that the Lin Family currently valued him greatly, and he could leverage this to ask for more from them... But as the saying goes, people need face, trees need bark. He had already gotten an advance before, and if he didn't get something truly valuable now, after breaking through to become a Martial Artist, how could he shamelessly ask again?

Now it was fine.

With his Martial Artist status achieved, he could ask for Earth Grade Techniques, resources, and benefits however he pleased!

Beep beep.

At this moment, his phone rang.

It was a reminder alarm.

"Everyone, it's time. Come out and enjoy the pleasure of slaughter!"

With Su Zhan's command, four Cultivation Avatars located in the wilderness suddenly appeared.
