Chapter 58 Entering the Planetary Level
It should be noted that although the weapons in the hands of the two were not sharpened, they were still made of 9-series alloy, which was enough to support the battle of a peak war god. Even if used by a martial artist who had just entered the planetary level, they would not be easily damaged.
Unexpectedly, the two warriors, both war gods, broke the swords in two, demonstrating the explosive power of their final blows, which was definitely at the planetary level, or even more than the first level of the planetary level.
Luo Hai looked down at his broken blade, then looked up at Chen Yuan, who was still calmly holding his sword with one hand. He threw down the broken blade and shook his head, saying, "I lost."
Even though he had already broken through and comprehended the essence of fire, elevating the explosive power of the Hundred Blades to a whole new level, he was still no match for Chen Yuan in his one-handed state... Thinking of this, Luo Hai couldn't help but ask, "Just how many times did you exert your strength?"
Chen Yuan smiled slightly and replied with a number: "16".
Upon hearing this, Luo Hai's eyes widened, and after a long silence, he finally squeezed out two words through gritted teeth: "You're awesome!"
There's no way to deny it.
Even if Luo Hai thought that after comprehending the intent this time, he could further improve the burst limit of the Hundred Fierce Blade, it would only be barely on par with Chen Yuan's basic exertion.
Chen Yuan's sword strike just now was clearly some kind of explosive secret technique, and Luo Hai could tell that Chen Yuan hadn't used his full strength at all.
"I really don't know how you cultivated. You surpassed my ten years of cultivation in just one month," Luo Hai exclaimed sincerely.
Fortunately, this time I grasped the essence of fire, which not only elevated my Hundred Blades technique to a higher level, but also finally broke through the bottleneck in my power generation.
"Are you ready to advance to the planetary level?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Almost there." Luo Hai shook his head. "But it'll be soon. After comprehending the essence, my power exertion level will soon reach '7', and then I can prepare for a breakthrough. It shouldn't take more than a few days."
"That's quite a coincidence." Chen Yuan smiled. "I took the Wood Seed Crystal more than half a month ago, and I estimate I should break through in a few days."
"That's great." Luo Hai chuckled. "Our 'Training Camp Duo' advancing to the Planetary level at the same time will be quite a story."
"Go to hell with that lousy title." Chen Yuan laughed and cursed. Why did Luo Hai, like Luo Feng's future friend "Uka," like to use such nicknames?
The two chatted and laughed as they left the arena and returned to Jiangnan Pavilion. Chen Yuan retrieved his luggage from Luo Hai, and the two then went into seclusion.
At this moment, Chen Yuan's strength had reached 559770 kilograms, surpassing the peak of an ordinary apprentice at 512000 kilograms. However, due to his 1.1 times higher genetic level, he was still a little short of the true peak of an apprentice.
Chen Yuan was not impatient. Every day, besides honing his swordsmanship in the Trial Tower, he would log into the virtual universe and purchase some basic knowledge about the universe.
The most important thing for Chen Yuan was the learning books related to the "universal language". After all, if he still relied on translators to communicate when he entered the universe, it would not only be inefficient, but also make him more likely to be looked down upon.
In addition, Chen Yuan also purchased a large amount of general information about planetary levels. He did not buy any secret techniques, as even slightly decent secret techniques cost hundreds of thousands of Black Dragon Coins, and even low-end secret techniques were not cheap. With Chen Yuan's current savings, he could not afford to buy many.
He mostly bought knowledge that was common sense for cosmic civilizations but was unheard of by Earthlings. It only cost him a few hundred Black Dragon Coins, but it would help him avoid being taken advantage of due to a lack of common sense when he entered the universe in the future.
In the days that followed, Chen Yuan spent his life cycling between practical training in the training tower and learning in the virtual universe.
It is worth mentioning that the first layer of the "Breaking the Sky" manual has been optimized. Chen Yuan discovered that this attack technique has been completely integrated into the Thousand Winds Manual, becoming one of its branches, named Mountain Tilt.
Chen Yuan glanced at it and found that the power of the secret technique had not changed. However, as a branch of the "Thousand Winds Secret Manual", its proficiency was directly linked to the main technique. In other words, once this "Mountain Tilting" technique was mastered, it would start at the proficiency level, giving him a secret technique with a burst of 4 times the power instantly.
In addition, this secret technique, like the basic power generation method, can be amplified by the power of intent, unleashing even more terrifying power.
Overall, Chen Yuan was quite satisfied with the optimization.
Three days later, Chen Yuan's strength finally reached 563200 kilograms, reaching the true peak of the apprentice level. At this time, the effects of the Mu Ya Crystal were still continuing. Although his strength was no longer increasing, his genetic level was subtly leaping forward.
Two days later, on March 4, an astonishing aura suddenly erupted from the neighboring attic—Luo Hai had successfully broken through to the planetary level.
Chen Yuan was not impatient and carried out his daily cultivation in a methodical manner.
Through introspection using the power of his mind, he clearly sensed that he had also reached the critical point of the planetary level and could break through at any time.
Sure enough, on March 5th, the day after Luo Hai's breakthrough, Chen Yuan suddenly felt his body start to heat up, as if his cells were boiling, and streams of heat-like power surged through his body.
He used his mental power to introspect and discovered that these forces were constantly rotating and converging within his body, eventually flowing into the 'dantian' area.
Thanks to the cosmic knowledge he had been studying over the past few days, Chen Yuan immediately understood that this was a sign that he was about to enter the planetary level.
The dantian is the absolute core of a martial artist. Before reaching the planetary level, it is unremarkable because apprentice-level martial artists do not have a dantian at all. What people usually refer to as the dantian is just an ordinary part of the body.
The true dantian needs to be actively opened by the martial artist when breaking through to the planetary level!
Just like Pangu creating the world in mythology, the primal force in all parts of Chen Yuan's body began to gather and compress here... As time passed, it seemed to have crossed a critical point and exploded, instantly opening up an area in Chen Yuan's dantian!
Subsequently, the condensed primal force spun at high speed and continued to compress until it became a greenish-blue 'miniature planet' floating in the vast dantian space.
Through introspection, Chen Yuan discovered that this so-called "miniature planet" was actually composed of a series of greenish-blue six-sided crystals. As the miniature planet spun around in his dantian, strange greenish-blue primal forces emanated from it.
With a thought, Chen Yuan manipulated a wisp of cyan-green primal energy to fly out of his dantian and enter his body.
In an instant, Chen Yuan's body made cracking sounds. His bones, internal organs, meridians, blood, and even brain began to change rapidly, a transformation even more thorough than when he consumed dragon blood or the spirits of plants.
This is a breakthrough to a higher realm, a true leap in the level of life.
Chen Yuan carefully observed his body undergoing a 'transformation,' which was a rare experience for him. As time passed, the transformation of his body gradually came to an end. Just then, Chen Yuan sensed a 'light and agile' power entering his heart and reshaping that organ.
Not long after, Chen Yuan's heart emitted a faint bluish-green glow, but it quickly disappeared and returned to its original crimson color.
"The heart has turned bluish-green?" Chen Yuan immediately used his personal computer to access the "Complete Guide to Special Abilities of Martial Artists" that he had purchased from the virtual universe, searching for information that matched his criteria.
Soon, Chen Yuan found an ability that matched this characteristic. He quickly scanned the records in the book and nodded to himself: "It is indeed a special ability of the wind attribute. The one that matches this characteristic is called 'Heart of the Wind'."
Chen Yuan clicked on the introduction about "Heart of Wind", which read: "This is an extremely rare ability. Theoretically, only one in a hundred million martial artists with wind attribute primal force might awaken the Heart of Wind. However, according to statistics, all martial artists who awaken the Heart of Wind possess some special bloodline, which may be related to this."
"The effect of the Heart of Wind is... to enhance a martial artist's perception of wind-attribute energy. Martial artists who possess the Heart of Wind will see a significant increase in efficiency when comprehending wind-attribute concepts. In fact, the Heart of Wind can even provide some assistance when comprehending 'Laws' in the future!"
"It can improve the efficiency of comprehending artistic conception, and even affect the comprehension of laws?" Upon seeing this, Chen Yuan's eyes lit up.
