Chapter 32: The Great Completion of Layered Cultivation

  Azure sky and lush green mountains complement each other, with sparkling lake water that is crystal clear.

  Lin stretched out his lean upper body, horse-riding stance sinking into the lake's edge, concentrating his spirit. The clear lake water extended to the lake's edge, lightly submerging his bare feet, then lightly receding. On the roasting rack behind him, were hung his freshly washed wet shirts and a wild rabbit that had just been hunted and disembowelled, the aroma of roasted meat wafting between the mountains and lakes at noon.

  Lin Heng was feeling the pulse of the vortex of potential, his spiritual sea was lightly bouncing to a certain rhythm, sometimes lively like a newborn baby, sometimes weak like a small grass breathing morning dew. The condensed potential was flowing and running like a liquid. The "vortex of potential" and the "divine core seed" on top of his head were three feet apart, but Lin Heng perceived the naked divine core seed and its special connection with him as if it existed or not. Moreover, no matter how the "vortex of potential" flowed, there was always a kind of servant-like feeling towards the divine core seed.

  This is "Nascent Vortex"! Due to being in a precarious situation, Lin Heng didn't carefully observe the black hole earlier, now he naturally focuses his attention.

  "Hidden Power Vortex" is a unique mark of Jin Cheng's first product, with one vortex for the first product, two for the second product, three for the third product. After forming four vortices at the fourth product, it can integrate with the Sea of Consciousness and evolve into "Consciousness Heaven and Earth", officially entering the fifth product.

  And so, the Fourth and Fifth Ranks are a serious watershed for warriors. A Fifth Rank warrior with "Spiritual Awareness of Heaven and Earth" is an advanced being that cannot be compared to low-ranking warriors like those from Qi Li Gou or Qing Niu Town. However, the integration of "Spiritual Awareness of Heaven and Earth" not only requires countless years of quiet meditation as a foundation but also needs three kinds of extremely rare and precious elixirs as assistance throughout the entire process. The most important and most terrifying aspect is that the fusion of "Spiritual Awareness of Heaven and Earth" has an enormous risk.

  From a probabilistic point of view, a martial artist has an extremely low chance of successfully integrating "Shen Shi Tian Di" and advancing to the fifth rank, with a success rate of only 30%.

  This is also why in Jin Yun City, and even the entire Han country, fifth-grade warriors are as rare as stars at dawn. It's really too difficult to find a fifth-grade warrior, almost all sects and forces will take action without hesitation, using the greatest benefits and speed to seize them. The best way is to bring them into the sect, if not, the most common method is to hire them as a guest elder of their own sect.

  On the mainland, there is a millennium-old custom that has been passed down. Each guest can only accept one family's employment offer. During the employment period, they cannot have two masters at once, as the saying goes: "A country has its laws, and a profession has its rules." Even if some guests are extremely powerful, they will not touch this bottom line. If the balance of contracts between schools and guests is broken, they will be despised by others or even by the school that hired them. In short, this is somewhat suspected of abandoning professional ethics for wealth, which is very shameful.

  Let's not talk about something too far away, let's get back to Lin Huan.

  With an inexplicable "surge of power" in his body, Lin Heyan was most eager to test what realm he had reached now.

  It's not his fault, anyone who encounters such a strange phenomenon would have this idea. A first-class warrior, aside from other skills, must possess two things: one is the complete "蕴质球层" ( Quality Ball Layer); two is the "蕴力漩涡" (Power Vortex). The "神核种子" (Divine Core Seed) in front of him is bare and has no "蕴质球层", but it has a "蕴力漩涡". This is an extremely contradictory and unbelievable thing.

  He didn't understand what was happening with those two forces in his spiritual sea, so that such a strange phenomenon appeared in his spiritual sea.

  A gentle breeze caressed, Lin Huan's inner vision saw his body's hundred bones, only to see those usually full and neat cells more condensed, their spirit sharp. With just a slight wave of Lin Huan's hand, they immediately formed into rows upon rows of countless battle arrays, exuding an aura of killing intent. Turning to inspect, every inch of muscle, bone marrow, blood molecules... were all filled with surging vitality. Hmm, the functions and energy within his body were at least twice as strong as before.

  Lin Heng's expression was greatly pleased, which meant that he really had a chance to enter the first rank.

  Immediately, the thought entered the sea of consciousness. Lin Heng clearly felt that the power of Yu was not only surging, but also thicker and more pure than before. In the dark and narrow space, the "Divine Core Seed" without the protection of the Yu Jing layer hung naked in the center of the sea of consciousness, with no change on its surface.

  Lin Hengru's body shot up like an arrow, first slowly playing a set of "Tulong Eight Styles", with a loud crash, the calm lake water was struck by him to burst out layer upon layer of waterfall-like water droplets!

  Damn it! Out-of-body attack? One-Piece Domination!!!!!

  Lin Heng's heart was in full bloom, and after this display, he finally confidently confirmed that he had truly risen to the rank of First Class.

  The power of a first-rate warrior is several times purer than that of an ordinary warrior in terms of quality. In other words, a casual attack from them is equivalent to the destructive power of multiple attacks from an ordinary warrior. What's more, the power of a first-rate warrior can attack remotely, while the power of an ordinary warrior, no matter how fierce, requires actual physical contact with the target to cause damage.

  Lin Heng's Shi Zhan Tu Long Ba Shi not only found that the potential force was strong and increased by five or six times, but also surprisingly, when he was in mid-air, the potential force could be controlled at will, taking on an illusory shape to leave his body.

  This shows that what he struck out was not ordinary internal force, but a genuine first-class internal force!!! —— Only a first-class martial artist can exert a first-class internal force!!!!!

  I've advanced a rank?! I've advanced a rank!!! Lin Huan couldn't contain his inner excitement, he had transmigrated from his previous life, like many useless young men, with a strong desire to be a powerful knight. At the beginning of this world, the number of times he failed was record-breaking, earning him countless cold glances and humiliation, even being threatened to be expelled from the Seven Mile Gorge. His family suffered greatly because of him, living in shame and hiding in the Seven Mile Gorge, unable to hold their heads up high.

  He had never yearned more than now to become a warrior, a super warrior who would astound the world and wash away his shame.

  If he can pass the last trial of the Dragon Festival, it will certainly allow him to regain his reputation and return from being a discriminated waste to a normal person. However, he is not satisfied with this, he wants to shock everyone, he wants to use the most shocking and admirable way to pass the trial! The humiliation time and time again has made him determined, in the eyes of tens of thousands of people at the Dragon Festival, he will shock the world, fiercely and vigorously slapping those who looked down on him and his family with cold ridicule and hot sarcasm.

  He wants his family to be proud of him, the whole village of Qili to be proud of him, and everyone to take pride in Lin Huarong. His parents and relatives can hold their heads high in front of everyone, receiving respect from others!!!

  Right before his eyes, he was certain that he would advance to First-Order, and this dream was now within arm's reach, just waiting for the arrival of the Dragon Sacrifice Ceremony!

  With his emotions surging, he suddenly unleashed a majestic and powerful "Universal Heavy Fist" in a layered manner.

  Before that, his maximum limit was just six punches stacked, and now that he has advanced to the first rank, he wants to test the new limit of this move's deadliest attack.

  A deep breath, ten times more violent than before, poured into his straight waist. He was like a fierce engine, moving quickly with each step, and the power combined with his body in a subtle way.

  The brilliant sunlight shines on the sparkling lake surface, his left fist charges horizontally, he has already soared into the air, the accumulated force has not been released, and the illusory air has produced a deafening muffled sound.

  This place is a small, nameless lake deep in the mountains of Manghu, more than fifty miles away from that eerie black cave. In such an uninhabited and desolate land, Lin Hang was not afraid of being spied on by others.

  The height of the rise is not high! Lin Heng shook his head, suddenly increased his strength and rose again, and with a whoosh, he was already more than 27 or 8 meters away from the ground. This was nearly 15 meters higher than his previous maximum ascent! His momentum was not enough, he spread his arms like a great roc, strongly urging on the accumulated power.

  One product contains power and is indeed not comparable to ordinary products, just relying on this momentum, Lin Yang has strongly felt the extreme increase in combat value!

  "Overlapping style!" Lin shouted loudly, and in a flash of lightning, a fist shadow struck out.

  "One fist, two fists, three fists...... five fists...... eight fists, nine fists, ten fists, eleven fists......" Along with Lin Yang's powerful countdown, wave after wave of majestic and profound energy accumulated at the peak of his fist like a towering pagoda.

  "——Twelfth Fist!!!" Lin Heng's entire body was like a lion in the forest, his fist bursting out with a huge ripple force. Immediately, a "cannonball" shot out, and the air couldn't withstand the impact, producing a "sizzling" friction sound.

  After a deafening loud noise, the surrounding area around Lin Huanzhou burst into a wall of turbulent lake water and sand, followed by the impact of the pent-up force explosion, suddenly splashing out in all directions. Lin Huanzhou suddenly appeared with nearly 100 meters of splashing "flowers", and the exploded sand and dust curtain formed a circular shape in an orderly manner.

  The ultimate realm of superimposed greatness is the twelve-fist superimposition, Lin Huan breaks through to first-class, and finally perfectly reaches this realm.

  Lin Hengren was suspended in mid-air, gazing at the sand and water that burst out of his fist intent, shooting out for nearly a hundred meters, as well as the underground voids that were instantly emptied to a depth of several meters. His thoughts were in disarray. This was the power of the layered fist? It was too powerful! With this punch, he faintly sensed that he could defeat his brother-in-law Zhou Ze, a first-rate mid-stage cultivator, with just one punch!
