Rapid Progress

Heavenly Origin Martial Arts Hall had operated in Tong City for many years.

It ranked among the city's top ten martial arts halls.

Its training hall was quite impressive in scale, covering roughly seven to eight hundred square meters.

Since it was already late at night,

the vast training hall was completely empty.

Lu Yun strode inside.

Before long,

he arrived at an area where he often used to practice.

Weapon racks made from special materials stood everywhere.

They were filled with all kinds of sabers, spears, swords, and halberds.

In a prominent location,

there was also a speed and strength tester.

"Little Wu!"

"Turn it on."

"Enter training mode immediately."

Lu Yun spoke familiarly to the artificial intelligence.

"Little Wu received!"

In an instant,

the speed and strength tester emitted a faint hum.

A powerful yellow light

completely enveloped Lu Yun, who stood beside it.

"Then..."

"Let's begin!"

Lu Yun held a Coiling Dragon Golden-Backed Saber and took a deep breath.

The expression on his face gradually turned solemn.

Clang!

The blade left its sheath.

Violent saber energy swept outward.

He strode forward swiftly.

His right hand suddenly swung.

Dazzling streaks of cold light instantly tore through the air.

At the same time,

the tester's electronic screen instantly displayed the data for that strike.

24.5 meters per second...

32.7 meters per second...

45.9 meters per second...

57.2 meters per second...

The tester displayed the speed of every saber strike with flawless precision.

"Good!"

"Let's test the strength too!"

Lu Yun gave the artificial intelligence an order.

Inside his mind,

every move of the Thousand Mountains Saber Technique

spun rapidly without pause.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The back of the saber struck the machine.

Rows of data updated continuously.

326 kilograms...

452 kilograms...

584 kilograms...

682 kilograms...

The numbers on the tester surged wildly.

Likewise,

within Lu Yun's sea of consciousness,

system notifications rang out one after another.

[Ding! Saber technique experience +1. Congratulations, Host, you triggered a 100x critical hit. Saber technique experience +100!]

[Ding! Saber technique experience +1. Congratulations, Host, you triggered a 100x critical hit. Saber technique experience +100!]

[Ding! Saber technique experience +1. Congratulations, Host, you triggered a 100x critical hit. Saber technique experience +100!]

Lu Yun seemed to have completely forgotten fatigue.

Every time a notification sounded,

it was as though he had been injected with adrenaline, filling him with boundless energy as he threw himself into high-intensity training.

After gaining max-level martial arts talent,

his comprehension of any martial art became as easy as eating and drinking.

Coupled with the 100x critical hit boost,

his proficiency in the Thousand Mountains Saber Technique rose at an inconceivable pace.

27%...

39%...

48%...

56%...

69%

Half an hour later,

when Lu Yun finally stopped, the attribute panel appeared before him once more.

Host: Lu Yun

System Phase One Activated: 100x Critical Hit Boost

Martial Skill: Thousand Mountains Saber Technique (Lv. 6, 100%)

Strength Level: Postnatal Realm Perfection

"Gasp..."

"This is way too fast!"

"Not only has my saber technique reached the sixth level, but my strength has also advanced to Postnatal Realm Perfection!"

Looking at the information on the attribute panel,

Lu Yun could hardly believe his own eyes.

At first glance,

Postnatal Realm strength did not seem particularly high.

However,

that depended on who it was compared to.

One had to know that

in Tong City, with its population of twenty million,

there were only eight hundred and twenty-three martial artists above the Postnatal Realm, including Innate Realm and Origin Astral Realm experts.

Among them, Postnatal Realm martial artists made up the vast majority.

A martial artist whose strength had reached Postnatal Realm Perfection could easily rise another six or seven hundred places in the rankings.

By that calculation,

he might even have a chance of entering the top hundred.

Besides...

for someone like Lu Yun, a boy not yet sixteen who had only been in the Body Tempering Realm before his injury,

to advance to a Postnatal Realm Perfection expert

in such a short period of time

would cause an enormous uproar if the outside world learned of it.

Even before coming to the training hall,

Lu Yun had already had a faint premonition.

But

when he truly saw the numbers on the attribute panel,

he still felt that it was somehow unreal.

He could almost clearly see

that in the not-too-distant future,

he would surely soar to great heights.

Perhaps,

one day,

in the history of Sky Net Star,

he too could be like those legendary supreme figures

and leave behind his own name.

"Just wait..."

"It won't be long before I personally defeat that assassin."

A spark flashed through Lu Yun's eyes.

The system had activated a hundredfold critical hit in its very first round, allowing his strength to surge forward in an extremely short time.

With such a terrifying rate of improvement,

not to mention tiny Tong City,

even across all of Sky Net Star,

he would definitely be an exceptionally rare existence.

After pondering for a moment,

seeing that it was already very late,

he slowly calmed his excited emotions.

After turning off the tester,

he walked toward the bedroom where he lived.

But before he had gone very far,

two burly young men dressed in martial arts hall uniforms approached.

When they saw Lu Yun,

one of them, a young man over 1.9 meters tall with knotted muscles all over his body, immediately waved.

"Haha! So it's Little Lu!"

"We saw the lights over here come on just now, so we came to see who was working so hard."

"Who would've thought it was you!"

Lu Yun recognized the man as a coach the martial arts hall had hired recently.

However,

he did not remember having much of a relationship with him.

At that moment,

his mind was completely occupied with training.

Therefore, he did not explain much.

He merely nodded slightly before hurrying away again.

"Tch!"

The other young man who had come over curled his lips and said,

"What are you acting so smug for?"

"You're only relying on having a father who's the hall master!"

"Now..."

"you're nothing more than a useless piece of trash who can't cultivate!"
