Intermediate Warrior Strength!

Just 500 blood vitality points had condensed five Blood Bodhi fruits.

Five hundred blood vitality points were only fifty potential points.

Chu Wen had absorbed 620 potential points from the cold storage!

He was raking it in!

But it was not convenient for Chu Wen to condense any more Blood Bodhi fruits now. This thing posed too great a risk in the human world. Once he went out into the wilderness, it might produce miraculous effects.

Better still, if he could raise Beast Kings himself...

High-end dormitory district.

A Black man rushed into a villa, washed himself clean without stopping for a moment, then changed clothes before finally getting rid of that strange bloody smell on him.

With an excited heart, Chu Wen hurriedly darted off to the martial arts room.

The martial arts rooms were located in the first tower of the Seven-Star Tower District.

Each floor was divided into two hundred martial arts rooms, normally for New Hang students to train in on their own.

He found an unused room and looked at the punching force tester ahead of him.

Chu Wen breathed in and out as he stood firm, his arms slightly bent, before suddenly driving out a hammering punch.

Bang~!

Sparks flashed through the air. The numbers on the display screen spun wildly before finally stopping after a long while!

20731 kg!

The upper limit for an intermediate warlord was 20,000 kg! Chu Wen's punching force had already reached that of an intermediate warlord!

"Primordial Origin Breathing Method..."

It had only been three days since his advanced warrior information had been updated! Back then, his normal punching force had been 6740 kg!

It had nearly tripled!

One had to know that he had not even punched with full force just now. It had merely been an utterly ordinary punch.

If he mobilized all his senses...

Bang bang bang~!

He threw three punches in succession, each one stacking atop the last.

The support pillar of the punching force tester trembled for quite a while before the number on the screen finally froze at 26143 kg!

His punching force had reached the intermediate warlord level!

If he used a combat saber in conjunction with saber martial skills, its power would multiply. Add the Blood Demon State, and even a Beast King would not be impossible to fight!

That Eagle-Eye Beast King that had hunted him down that day—if it was even slightly careless and failed to evade his blade, it would suffer serious injuries too!

It was just that the hidden danger of the Blood Demon State was still too great. He could not use it lightly, or once the time ran out, he would simply be giving himself away.

After testing his punching force, Chu Wen set the parameters for the speed test and stepped into the designated area.

After the numerical announcement beeped three times.

One marker after another came smashing toward him.

This time, he did not use any martial skill, relying purely on instinct to evade.

He wanted to see his true reaction speed.

As the markers grew faster and faster, Chu Wen found it increasingly difficult to dodge them. Some areas were even struck by the markers.

Once the number of hits reached ten, the marker area slowly rose again.

"Test complete."

Speed lower limit: 48 m/s (entry-level warlord); upper limit: 72 m/s (advanced warlord)

Overall reaction speed: 52 m/s (intermediate warlord).

Neural response level: intermediate warlord.

Panting, Chu Wen's face broke into a satisfied smile.

"I actually just crossed the threshold of an intermediate warlord..."

The usual speed range for an intermediate warlord was 50–70 m/s. Once one exceeded 70 m/s, they entered the threshold of an advanced warlord!

A breakthrough in the Primordial Origin Breathing Method had actually brought a qualitative transformation to his body.

If he erupted casually now, he possessed entry-level warlord strength. If he got just a little serious, he would be an intermediate warlord.

The strongest people on campus were only at the advanced warrior level. Only with martial skills could they reach advanced warlord strength, or even entry-level war king strength.

"Why do I feel like I'm bullying the weak..."

Chu Wen clenched his fist, unsure whether he should apply for graduation.

His data was simultaneously transmitted to his optical computer.

Zhuge Lin, who was sitting in the Chaos Martial Arts Hall drafting a contract, was instantly startled.

"What?"

"Intermediate warlord? No, wasn't he only just an advanced warrior three days ago?"

Zhuge Lin opened the recording of Chu Wen's test, and his vision immediately swam.

"This... how could this be? How did he do it..."

He had only just applied for the second volume of the Chaos Breathing Method for Chu Wen. Given the current situation, could he apply for the third volume already?

"This contract seems a little lacking in appeal."

Looking at the resource adjustment he had just requested from the chairman, he called again.

"Hello, please connect me to the chairman. I have an urgent matter..."

"Mr. Zhuge? Didn't you just finish speaking with him?"

The secretary on the other end of the line was somewhat baffled, but still went to make the request.

Not long after, Zhuge Lin held a brand-new contract, his breathing unconsciously growing a little rapid.

The things in this contract were enough to make even him jealous!

"Chu Wen really lucked out."

The next day, a numb-faced Rox pushed open the door to Zhuge Lin's office.

"What is it? I haven't been in great spirits these past two days."

"Hm? Didn't you buy the Blood Bodhi fruits? Your grandfather must have been very happy. How was it? Did your relationship ease up a little?"

Zhuge Lin was well informed, so he naturally knew about some of Rox's affairs in the Yatu Family.

But Rox waved his hand with a smile that was not a smile. "Don't mention it."

Whenever he thought of Chu Wen, he did not know what to say. That kid really knew how to pick up bargains, yet for some reason, he could no longer bring himself to dislike him.

"This is Chu Wen's contract. Remember to give it to him. Everything is confidential."

The moment Rox heard those words, his gaze jolted as though electrocuted, and he snatched the contract away.

"What? Why does he get this? What has he done to deserve it?"

"His current strength is already at the intermediate warlord level. If he grows to the advanced warlord level in school, he'll be forced to graduate."

"Huh?"

It was the first time Zhuge Lin had seen Rox make such an expression, but it was understandable. When Zhuge Lin had first seen the contents of the contract, he had worn the exact same expression.

He did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Chu Wen sat cross-legged in the martial arts room. Once he began cultivating, he forgot the time. He had not eaten for two days, yet did not feel much hunger.

He always felt something was off. The optical computer showed that he had reached the intermediate warrior level.

But the panel before his eyes displayed:

[Chu Wen]

[Advanced Warrior]

Primordial Origin Breathing Method

The Primordial Source Pearl had not undergone a corresponding limit-breaking either!

That meant his body's transformation had merely come from the breathing method.

Fundamentally, he had not entered the warlord level!

Feeling the blood vitality flowing through his meridians again, Chu Wen began guiding it just as he had when first sensing the Primordial Source Pearl.

Over the past two days, he had tried several times and finally gained a faint sense of it.

Presumably, his breakthrough differed from the normal classification. His body had likely been nourished by the Primordial Source Pearl, and he needed to use blood vitality to break through his acupoints in order to reach the warlord level.

Following that earlier sensation, he experienced the instant his blood vitality broke past its limit.

Time passed bit by bit. Though his entire body ached, it was as though he could hear his muscles cheering.

The blood vitality within his body gradually changed from scattered and wandering to orderly.

The acupoints of Lesser Yang of the Hand and Greater Yin of the Foot began to glow, exactly like the sensation from the first time his blood vitality had broken past its limit!

He seized that flash of inspiration!

As the Ren and Du meridians emerged, the Qihai and Baihui acupoints began to emit faint, indistinct threads of blood-red light.

This time, the blood vitality limit-break was not as intense as the first. Instead, it carried a trace of lightness.

Before long, Chu Wen exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly rose to his feet.

[Blood vitality: 100/1000 (blood vitality limit broken twice)]

[Intermediate Warlord]

[Blood Demon State: combat power increased by 800%, duration 5 minutes]

The combat power enhancement of the Blood Demon State had risen from 400% to 800%, while its duration had increased from two minutes to five.

Chu Wen also figured it out: only after his blood vitality broke past its limit would the information on the panel refresh, as though it was reacquiring his body's information.

This was reminding him that he needed to break the limits of his blood vitality on his own.

"Then can I carry more potential points?"

Chu Wen stroked his stubble and nodded slightly. "I can try."
