Invincible Martial King

One could see it with the naked eye. A torrent of energy rushed toward Lu Chen and quickly entered his body. His aura soared once again.    

    

He sat cross-legged in the water. Every inch of his skin was glowing, and even his hair had become sparkling and transparent. A storm-like aura was spreading out in circles with him as the center.    

    

"Hmm?"    

    

"What a strong movement, who was the one being baptized by the Soul Spring? Could it be that those monsters have come as well? "    

    

In the distance, a statue-like figure suddenly opened his eyes. A lightning-like glint flashed through his eyes, causing the surrounding water to surge incessantly.    

    

"Forget it."    

    

"It's better to make a breakthrough in peace of mind."    

    

The figure thought for a moment and gave up the impulse to check it out. Then, he closed his eyes once again.    

    

Lu Chen was completely focused on his Dantian and Qi Sea martial spirit, so he didn't have any extra energy to pay attention to the others. At this moment, after breaking through to the Ninth Layer Of Innate Martial Master realm, the soul energy in his dantian's aura sea had almost reached its maximum capacity, like a cup of water that was about to be filled with water. However, the surrounding energy still continuously surged forward.    

    

To break through to the Martial Tao Sect Master Stage, one would definitely not need to absorb and refine these energies. The most crucial part would need the help of these energies to expand the capacity of the Dantian's aurasea.    

    

The biggest difference between Innate Martial Master and a martial arts master was the large difference in the amount of their soul power.    

    

If one had to make an analogy, the soul power of a warrior with innate Martial Master Stage was like an ordinary river in his dantian's aura sea. Although the number was enormous, one could still see the end of it.    

    

Its capacity for soul power was tens or even a hundred times greater than that of its Innate Martial Master, so once one reached Martial Tao Sect Master Stage, they could walk on air as they pleased. Although Innate Martial Master could also allow one to stay in the air for a short period of time, the consumption of soul power was abnormally great, to the point where it was hard to sustain for even ten breaths of time.    

    

Therefore, if Lu Chen wanted to break through to the Martial Tao Sect Master Stage now, he had to seize this opportunity to expand his Dantian's aura sea. As long as his physical body was sufficiently improved, naturally, there would be no obstructions in terms of cultivation level. However, breaking through to a higher realm would still be filled with uncertainties, so even Lu Chen had to be a little more careful at this time.    

    

Under his deliberate control, the Martial Spirit had slowed down the speed at which it refined the energy. The Qi Sea in his dantian had undergone significant changes at a speed visible to the naked eye.    

    

The high concentration of soul power produced by a martial spirit's refinement was like the source of power needed to open up the wasteland, constantly supporting the dantian's aura sea as it slowly expanded. However, there was still quite a bit of risk during this process; to an ordinary martial artist, to break through such a large boundary, they would have to spend several months or even longer.    

    

As Lu Chen possessed a Peerless Martial Spirit, he had a huge advantage in terms of speed and method of refining energy. As a result, the expansion of his Dantian's Qi Sea expanded very smoothly.    

    

Boom!    

    

It could be seen with the naked eye that the expanded Dantian's Qi Sea was more than ten times bigger than before the breakthrough. In Lu Chen's Qi Sea, his Martial Spirit became more robust, like a real nebula cluster.    

    

"Martial arts First Layer Of Sect Master!"    

    

After Lu Chen successfully expanded his Dantian's Qi Sea, he no longer had any concerns. He operated his Martial Spirit at full power, just like a black hole. Under the pull of terrifying power, a steady stream of energy was drawn in, being refined into the purest soul power.    

    

Lu Chen closed his eyes and the surrounding energy entered his body even faster. His aura was still rising, and even after breaking through to the Martial Arts First Layer Of Sect Master, it still did not stop.    

    

"Bam!"    

    

Suddenly, Lu Chen's body shook and his aura instantly rose by several times.    

    

"Second Layer Of Martial Tao Sect Master!"    

    

Lu Chen opened his eyes and let out a dazzling light. At this moment, his aura was like a storm that couldn't be controlled as it swept in all directions. Even the heavy mountain-like water flow was pushed out dozens of feet.    

    

The aura on his body continued to grow, and in the end, stopped at the perfection-stage of the Second Layer Of Martial Tao Sect Master.    

    

Lu Chen felt the huge change in his body, and a tinge of surprise appeared in his eyes. According to his original estimation, for him to be able to break through from the baptism of Soul Spring to become a Grandmaster in the Martial Dao was already pretty good, but he did not expect to break through directly to the Second Layer Of Martial Tao Sect Master.    

    

One had to know that he had broken through three or four small realms in a single breath. If others were to see this, wouldn't they be scared silly?    

    

It was known to all that after arriving at the Martial Tao Sect Master Stage, every small step forward was extremely difficult for ordinary practitioners. However, Lu Chen was a high and mighty Martial Emperor Expert in his previous life. Furthermore, he possessed a Peerless Martial Spirit.    

    

"This trip has been worthwhile after all."    

    

"The energy inside this Soul Spring is stronger than I thought." Lu Chen checked his situation and nodded in satisfaction.    

    

He slowly got up and stretched his muscles, feeling very free to move as if the invisible pressure around him did not exist. Just now, he had spent a lot of energy to get here, and now, after his breakthrough, his strength had increased by more than just a step.    

    

"Breaking through to the Second Layer Of Martial Tao Sect Master in a single go, isn't it a bit too inconceivable for others to see it like this?"    

    

"It's best if I hide my true strength properly."    

    

After pondering for a moment, the terrifying aura on Lu Chen's body dissipated by more than half. His cultivation base seemed to be only at the martial path's First Layer Of Sect Master level.    

    

For safety's sake, Lu Chen used the Arcane Arts to hide his true cultivation realm, and maintained his Qi at the First Layer Of Sect Master of the martial way. This could be considered hiding a part of his strength, since this was the Dagan Academic Palace after all, and he could perform a little evilly, but if the evildoer was heaven defying, then he would attract the attention of the truly strong, and at that time, it would increase the risk of being exposed.    

    

Furthermore, Lu Chen also considered that hiding a portion of his strength would be beneficial. If he were to face a troublesome enemy in the future, he would be able to give him a fatal blow when he was caught off guard.    

    

"I don't know how much time has passed, but it's about time I go out."    

    

After concealing his true aura, Lu Chen took a deep breath, and a terrifying force suddenly burst out from the soles of his feet. His entire body was like a cannonball, shooting towards the surface of the Soul Spring.
