Chapter 351: Chapter 337 Power

As his strength increased, he began to spend more time cultivating under the Frost Giant Tree.

The Spiritual Qi was abundant, with Mammoth Lake nearby, far surpassing the conditions in Rucheng.

These demonized equipment must be bought, whether one likes it or not.

Zhou Leng checked the civilian contribution points.

Recently, it has increased by a bit more, equivalent to about 450 million Long Guoyuan, just enough to repay the loan from Cyan Flame.

If he were to repay Cyan Flame first, and then accumulate enough money, it might take a long time, severely delaying his cultivation progress.

Zhou Leng thought for a while, deciding to postpone paying Cyan Flame, and deal with it after auctioning off resources from the Fierce Beast World.

Thus, he waved his hands and procured Grandmaster-level demonized equipment, offsetting the cost with old equipment.

In two hours, he spent a total of 430 million, buying eight pieces of Grandmaster demonized equipment, almost emptying his cash reserves.

As for the remaining demonized equipment, it can be dealt with later.

All equipment was packed into the demonized weight reduction box, then stored in the space magic spirit bag.

As Zhou Leng walked back, he calculated in his mind.

“True Liquid Period requires Embracing Essence Pills to compress True Qi, still short by over ninety pills, which equals more than 90 million.”

“Concentration Pill price is upwards of 2 million, roughly 180 million.”

“Nourishing Essence Pills should be kept on hand, at least forty or fifty.”

“My speed of improvement is quite fast; I need to start preparing for Blood Shock’s pills ’Blood Melting Pill’, ’Solid Vein Pill’, and ’Iron Wall Pill’.”

The Blood Melting Pill can comprehensively enhance blood capabilities, allowing more True Qi, greatly boosting martial artists in the Blood Shock Period.

After the Blood Shock Period, the total True Qi and flow speed increase, necessitating stronger meridian strength.

The previous meridians simply cannot withstand the high-speed flow of True Qi.

Solid Vein Pills must be used.

The same applies to blood vessels.

The Iron Wall Pill can reinforce blood vessel strength.

Experts have calculated that the impact of Qi Blood in early Blood Shock innate stages on blood vessels is generally equivalent to an adult using a half-kilogram ram’s hammer, striking with intermediate force.

Even an iron sheet could be deformed under such blows.

Blood vessel strength dictates a martial artist’s sustained combat power.

Zhou Leng deeply feels this point.

During intense battles with fierce beasts, the innate level power far exceeds before.

When exerting full force, the body generates extremely high temperatures due to the impact of Qi Blood.

Humans instinctively sweat to cool down, but martial artists sweat too intensely, causing it to spray out of pores as vapor.

If muscles and pores aren’t strong enough, simply expelling the Qi can damage the body.

Not to mention the Qi Blood vibration after the Blood Shock Period.

Power isn’t generated from nothing, creating a reaction force; in the Martial Arts World, Newton must occasionally be respected.

Just like lightweight skills, speed necessarily causes damage to the ground; Grass Flying speed can’t compare to running on the ground.

Only at the Grandmaster level, where True Qi manifests externally and detaches from the body into different systems, can fast running without damaging the ground truly be achieved.

At the Martial Saint level, many mechanical limitations can be ignored to some extent, but essentially Martial Arts forces are used in agreement with mechanics, not overturning mechanics.

It is said that only beyond the Void God realm can one change the laws of heaven and earth to some extent.

Due to the intense combat at innate and beyond stages, the body is extremely prone to injury, thus healing techniques must be enhanced, not relying solely on pills.

“After the counter-offensive battle, I’ll go to Innate Mountain, learn there, and immediately find ways to obtain Tree-man hearts or even the Heart of Life in the Tree-man World…”

The Star Phoenix Rejuvenation Technique without merit treasure enhancement has very average effects.

After arranging the demonized equipment, he returned alone to the Innate Martial Arts Hall in Ruda.

During class time, no innate martial artists were cultivating.

Zhou Leng approached the innate weightlifting platform.

First, he walked to the rear to carefully examine the data on the plaque; the weight limit of this lifting platform is 200 tons.

Confidently stepping up, he first conducted No True Qi Weightlifting.

The demonized steel plate above boomed as it slowly pressed down.

Zhou Leng’s whole body muscles suddenly expanded a circle, turning his camouflage uniform into tight-fitting attire.

“Buzz…”

The weightlifting platform detected the limit reached, the pressure gradually eased, and the demonized steel plate slowly retracted.

Stepping down from the weightlifting platform, he glanced at the display.

25.7 tons.

Zhou Leng’s last No True Qi Weightlifting data during the Vitality Stage.

tons.

More than doubled.

This weight signifies that without True Qi, relying solely on the flesh, he can play with ordinary domestic cars like toys.

Ordinary household cars weigh only about two or three tons.

Entering again, he performed True Qi Weightlifting.

The last True Qi Weightlifting data during the Vitality Stage was 45 tons.

Zhou Leng took a deep breath, activating the Star Gazing Technique.

Star Gazing True Qi, like unrestrained river water, circulated within his body.

Sizzling…

Inside his clothes, the True Qi expanded, and within seconds, the attire tore into strips.

The demonized steel plate pressed down.

Creak… creak…

Over a hundred tons of gigantic force collided with the demonized steel plate, producing slight unusual sounds.

“Beep beep…”

A piercing sound rang out.

Zhou Leng stepped down the weightlifting platform, looking again at the display.

119.9 tons.

Just a little more, and it will reach 120 tons.

A heavy tank weighs an average of 60 tons, so it can lift two of them.

This means that if Zhou Leng encounters a tank on a hot weapon battlefield, he can easily flip it over.

Afterward, he sent the data to Mountain and River Origin and Zhang Xinglie and asked them.

Zhang Xinglie replied quickly.

“I don’t compare data with you; I only compare destructive power. My Mountain Slaying Battle Body is a Slaughter Body, not a training body.”

He also added an eye-rolling emoji.

Mountain and River Origin just returned from the Giant World and said to wait half an hour.

Half an hour later, Mountain and River Origin sent the data.

No True Qi weightlifting, 28.1 tons.

2.4 tons more than Zhou Leng’s.

True Qi weightlifting, 122.4 tons.

2.5 tons more.

Mountain and River Origin commented, “This shows that my physical fitness is better than yours, but your Qi and blood strength have already surpassed mine. I estimate that in a year or two, you will fully surpass me.”

“Did you get a great advantage when you returned to the Giant World this time?”

“I drank some dragon blood, and I’m about to trigger the Giant Dragon Blood Marvelous Body, and I also received an ancestral blessing once, and I visited the Giant Ancestral Mausoleum. Unfortunately, you’re not of the giant bloodline and cannot enter, or I would definitely take you along. But you also had some fortuitous encounters, right?”

“How did you notice?”

“The essence of the Giant Body is that the human body mimics the structure of a giant, rather than becoming a giant. Even a normal True Liquid Innate Giant’s strength doesn’t match yours now. Only a Demigod Innate Giant of the same realm might surpass your strength.”

“Good luck, encountered some small adventures.” Zhou Leng couldn’t mention the Fierce Beast World incident.

“By the way, the Great Battlefield is about to open, you and Zhang Xinglie must not miss it. It is the most important battlefield for the Innate Realm of the giants and the Giant Dragon Race. Every time it opens, it enters a corner of the Great Battlefield, and with good luck, you might encounter the core area where there’s a significant chance to trigger the Giant Dragon Blood Marvelous Body.”

“I’ve also heard, if there is an opportunity, I will definitely participate. Does drinking dragon blood trigger the Blood Marvelous Body?”

“Mine is specially made by my dad, you might slightly increase the chance by drinking dragon blood.”

“Then I’ll make the dragon blood into blood sausage as a meal. By the way, are you participating in the counterattack battle?” Zhou Leng asked.

“Participating. Is Zhang Xinglie coming?”

“Zhang Xinglie should participate in the counterattack battle of Old Capital Demon City, while we’ll join the Shuizhou Demon City one.”

“That’s a pity, hopefully, we can meet and fight side by side in the future.”

“There will definitely be a chance! Let’s strive to enter the Great Battlefield together and shake things up.”

“Good!”

After Zhou Leng finished speaking, he realized that the Fierce Beast Medicine Fruit had rekindled his fighting spirit, and he calmed down.

He opened the Martial Arts City in the Demonized Watch.

Finally, there were new sections inside.

Innate Mountain.

There were many sub-sections inside, some of which he had heard of, and some he had never seen before.

He clicked on the Innate Rankings.

Below the Innate Realm, there are city rankings and national rankings.

Starting from the Innate, there are only national and world rankings.

Zhou Leng made some settings inside, displaying his name in Innate Mountain as “Xin River.”

This way, others could not find out the actual ranking and level of “Zhou Leng.”

Zhou Leng slowly browsed through the demonized weightlifting data of the Innate Masters, even seeing separate ranking lists.

Innate Power Ranking.

Martial Arts Civilization has been building for over forty years, accumulating a large number of Innate Masters.

Due to years of conflict, the population of Dragon Country is less than one-third of its peak, yet still calculated in hundreds of millions.

Even if everyone has a Seed of True Qi, the total number of Innate Martial Artists is still far less than 1%.

However, the mortality rate of Innate Masters is far less than that of those below Innate.

Yunhua, Jinjing, and the Martial Arts Students of the First Military Academy can all slowly rise to Innate if there are no accidents.

This makes the number of Innate Masters accumulate more and more, with a total now exceeding one million.

Only the top one million ranks are displayed on the list.

Innate Realm has four phases: True Liquid, Blood Shock, Bone Forging, and Muscle.

If Innate Masters do not possess various marvelous bodies and extra powers, they must reach the final Muscle Innate to surpass 25 tons in No True Qi weightlifting.

In True Qi weightlifting, Bone Forger Innate is enough to reach 120 tons.

Zhou Leng browsed through the No True Qi and True Qi sections of the Innate Power Ranking.

With 25 tons in the No True Qi Innate Power Ranking, you could rank around 50,000.

On the True Qi Innate Power Ranking, a strength of 120 tons would place you beyond 300,000.

Zhou Leng then looked at the list that better represented innate strength.

Innate Martial Arts Index Ranking.

Unfortunately, without official testing, the index remains at 11, unable to participate in the innate index evaluation, showing unranked.

“After I go to Innate Mountain, I can take the test under the name of Xin River and determine my Martial Arts Index…”

“The index for Blood Shock Innate is 16 to 20, for Bone Forger Innate is 21 to 25, Muscle Innate is 26 to 30.”

“Among them, the number of Innates with an index above 20 exceeds 300,000, about the same as my True Qi weightlifting ranking.”

“My current Martial Arts Index certainly exceeds 16. Based on previous battles with fierce beasts, it’s at least 18, possibly 19, but probably doesn’t exceed 20.”

“However, there is always a slight disparity between index and real combat, my combat capability has always been slightly stronger than my index.”

“Once the index reaches 31, I won’t have to worry about so many things.”

After quickly reviewing data from Innate Mountain, Zhou Leng left Ruda and headed straight to the market.

Recently harvested dragon blood, Monster Snake Leader blood, Fierce Beast blood, etc., half were kept for drinking, the other half made into blood sausages.

It needs three layers of casing, otherwise, it won’t hold.

With the blood sausages, he found a restaurant with a large pot to cook them, cooking several large pots consecutively.

Because the blood was too fishy and pungent, the smell permeated the pot, which couldn’t be cleaned and needed to be replaced with a new one.
