Under the insane boost of the hundredfold critical strike.

No matter what kind of difficult problem he encountered.

More often than not, before Lu Yun even had time to react.

The answer had already surfaced on its own.

What had originally been an incomparably difficult task instantly became effortless.

As easy as eating or sleeping.

At the same time.

A series of crisp, pleasant system notifications kept sounding.

[Ding! Detected that the host is creating a martial skill...] [Fist technique experience +1] [Congratulations, host, for triggering a 100x critical strike. Fist technique experience +100] [Ding! Detected that the host is creating a martial skill...] [Fist technique experience +1] [Congratulations, host, for triggering a 100x critical strike. Fist technique experience +100]

Before long.

The eleventh level was deduced with ease as well.

Next came.

The twelfth level...

The thirteenth level...

The fourteenth level...

Upon the original foundation.

New moves for the Primordial Fist continuously emerged.

At this time.

The sun was already sinking lower, with evening clouds filling the sky as orange-red light spilled over him.

It was not until he had deduced the twenty-first level.

That Lu Yun finally began to feel some difficulty, and his speed gradually slowed.

But this situation had only just appeared.

When he seemed, in some unseen way...

To sense something.

His eyes suddenly flew open.

In an instant.

A mechanical electronic voice entered his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host!] [From this moment onward, the system's second stage has been unlocked. The host can trigger a 200x critical strike at any time!]

"Hiss!"

"Two... two hundredfold critical strike?!"

An unprecedented gleam appeared in Lu Yun's eyes.

"Looks like my guess was right. Once the difficulty of deduction increased, the critical strike effect also received a multiplied boost."

"It's just that I don't know..."

"After triggering a 200x critical strike, will the deduction speed also double?"

He stretched his body.

Then, reinvigorated, he continued...

His deduction of the twenty-first level.

The moment this thought arose in his mind.

[Ding! Detected that the host is creating a martial skill...] [Fist technique experience +1] [Congratulations, host, for triggering a 200x critical strike. Fist technique experience +200]

"Mm!"

"Just as expected, the deduction speed is exactly twice as fast as before."

"It seems that once the difficulty of cultivation reaches a certain level, the system will automatically unlock the next stage of critical strikes."

As the system notifications continued to sound.

The speed at which the Primordial Fist was being deduced...

Once again soared madly.

The twenty-second level...

The twenty-third level...

The twenty-fourth level...

When Lu Yun finally stopped.

Without realizing it.

He had already deduced the fist technique to the thirty-third level.

Only then did he suddenly notice that the spiritual power within his dantian's sea of qi had abruptly surged by hundreds, even thousands, of times, like a great river.

"Heavens!"

"What realm have I actually reached?"

"I can clearly feel my body brimming with power, yet I feel incomparably calm."

With a thought.

The attribute panel immediately appeared before his eyes.

Host: Lu Yun System second stage unlocked: 200x critical strike boost Martial skills: Thousand Mountains Saber Technique (lv7 100%), Primordial Fist (lv33 100%) Strength level: Divine Aperture Realm, perfected

Although he had already noticed the changes within his body and knew his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds.

When he truly saw the values on the panel.

Lu Yun's jaw still nearly dropped to the ground.

A feeling of unreality instantly arose within him.

According to the Martial Dao Alliance's unified regulations.

As long as a martial artist reached the Divine Aperture Realm, they would be considered special talent within the Human Base and could receive a monthly allowance of one million star coins.

By that calculation, he could earn twelve million star coins a year.

But this money was not so easy to obtain.

After all.

In Tong City, where Lu Yun currently lived, only the city lord and deputy city lord had reached the Primordial Astral Realm.

As for Divine Aperture Realm martial artists, there were none at all.

Not to mention...

A super expert like Lu Yun, who had perfected the Divine Aperture Realm.

"My own strength is already at the perfected Divine Aperture Realm. If I use the boost, then both my speed and strength can increase another thirty-three times."

"In other words... my current true strength is already enough to contend with Sea-Opening Realm experts."

At this thought, Lu Yun could not help drawing in a sharp breath.

After all.

On Sky Net Star, strength in martial arts reigned supreme, and any leader ruling a region had to possess extremely high cultivation.

For example.

As Tong City's city lord, Chu Lingxue's father, Chu Hongxin, possessed late-stage Primordial Astral Realm cultivation.

Above city lords were lords, above lords were high lords, and above high lords were kings...

The entire Human Base was jointly governed by four kings.

Under normal circumstances.

Divine Aperture Realm experts were already qualified to serve as lords, while Sea-Opening Realm experts could hold the position of high lord.

Since Lu Yun could rival Sea-Opening Realm experts.

That meant...

Other than the four king-level experts, he could practically sweep through everyone.

"A high lord, something I never would have dared dream of before... and now, I possess such strength too."

Lu Yun only felt utterly refreshed.

Within the sea of qi in his dantian, spiritual power surged wildly without end.

As long as he wished...

He could immediately unleash world-destroying energy.

"Perfect. I'll test the move I just created!"

With a thought...

He clenched his five fingers into a fist and threw a punch.

Bang!!!

All of a sudden...

The air trembled slightly.

Countless currents of air exploded beneath the fierce force of his punch.

At the same time.

Inside the reception hall of the Heavenly Origin Martial Arts Hall.

Lu Xingwen, who had just been lifting a teacup, suddenly turned pale in shock and swiftly looked toward the direction the fist wind had passed.

"Th-this... which senior is this...?"

"Why has such a terrifying aura appeared within my humble Heavenly Origin Martial Arts Hall?"

As a peak Innate Realm expert, Lu Xingwen could already clearly sense disturbances in the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Yet just as he was about to carefully trace the specific aura, he suddenly discovered that the powerful fluctuation from earlier had already vanished without a trace.

"Why did it suddenly disappear?"

"Could I have sensed it incorrectly?"

"Or perhaps... some great expert merely happened to pass by and did not wish to reveal their whereabouts?"

Lu Xingwen looked up into the empty sky, his eyes filled with confusion.
