Chapter 13 - Reaching the Third Realm of the Qi and Blood Martial Way, Strength Greatly Increased.

[April, Dawn 105. More Transcendent Broke through to the Third Realm, Water-Fire Immortal Garment.]

[May, Dawn 105. The first Third Realm Martial Artist among ordinary people is born.]

[At the same time, you also began to Cultivate the Qi and Blood Martial Way. Although your current physique far surpasses that of Third Realm Martial Artists, your intuition tells you that Cultivating the Qi and Blood Martial Way can still enhance your physical strength.]

[You feel that you are now like the various Sacred Bodies described in Xuanhuan novels—your basic stats are more Advanced than ordinary people, and the power gained through cultivation will also be higher.]

[You are very much looking forward to how much improvement Cultivating to the Martial Dao Third Realm can bring you.]

[June, Dawn 105. You successfully reached the Martial Dao Third Realm, and your Physical Body received a significant boost.]

[Unfortunately, it did not reach the maximum extent you had anticipated.]

[In your view, based on your previous absorption of Spiritual Qi, where your strength doubled from 500,000 kilograms to 1,000,000 kilograms, you should have been in a state similar to the Human Body Limit at that time.]

[Converted proportionally, whether for ordinary people or Transcendent in the Dawn Federation, before stepping into the Transcendent Realm, their Human Body Limit strength is around 1,200 kilograms.]

[And a Breakthrough to the Third Realm possesses at least 120,000 kilograms of strength, which is 100 times the strength of the Human Body Limit.]

[By this calculation, reaching the Water-Fire Immortal Garment level, you should possess 100 times 500,000 kilograms of strength, equating to 50 million kilograms of strength.]

[Unfortunately, this was wishful thinking.]

[After reaching the Martial Dao Third Realm, although your strength began to rapidly increase, quickly reaching a terrifying 5 million kilograms, your speed also reached Mach 5.]

[However, it was still 10 times short of the maximum improvement you had expected.]

[Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not happen. Originally, according to the fundamental laws of cultivation, although you could easily condense Qi and Blood and cover your entire body with it, your base strength should not have increased.]

[The Qi and Blood Martial Way you created cannot achieve the kind of cultivation system seen in novels, where one is an ant before a Breakthrough and a great powerhouse afterward—strength of 1,000 kilograms skyrocketing tenfold after a Breakthrough to 10,000 kilograms, and 10,000 kilograms skyrocketing to 100,000 kilograms after another Breakthrough.]

[You are not that amazing yet; you don't even know the principle behind strength doubling upon Breaking through to Transcendent. You can only attribute it to the Rules of the World.]

[Martial Artists Cultivating the Qi and Blood Martial Way increase their strength gradually, only gaining unique abilities upon reaching a certain level.]

[You guess that the reason for the continued increase is likely that the Qi and Blood expanded your body's limits.]

[And because the level of Qi and Blood, this Transcendent Energy, is not high enough, your Qi and Blood level can only enhance your Physical Body to this extent.]

[Although the level of ordinary people's Qi and Blood is not as high as yours, because your Qi and Blood is different from others—it is Crimson Gold.]

[However, their essence is also far inferior to yours. Although the enhancement of their Physical Body is not as high as yours, even if their current Qi and Blood level only allows their strength to reach 1.2 million kilograms, that is still a 1,000-fold increase.]

[The essence of Transcendent is not much stronger than that of ordinary people. As mentioned before, their Transcendent abilities are only considered external Transcendent Organs, at most allowing for better absorption of Spiritual Qi and faster cultivation speed.]

[Fortunately, the level of Qi and Blood will increase with Cultivation, though you don't know if there is a limit.]

[July, Dawn 105. In a desert on the East Continent, a structure resembling a Launch Base stood tall.]

["1, 2, 3... Launch." As the voice fell, a Missile was instantly fired from the base, traveling at Mach 20 and loaded with a 30,000-ton TNT Equivalent Nuclear Warhead.]

[With a boom, the Missile landed a hundred kilometers away from the base, instantly creating a heaven-shaking explosion upon impact, and a Mushroom Cloud rose into the sky.]

[At this moment, the people inside the base nervously stared at the screen displaying the footage of the explosion site.]

[As the smoke and clouds of the explosion dissipated in the footage, a figure slowly walked out, their clothes completely undamaged.]

["My god, this is incredible! I never thought I'd live to see someone walk out of a nuclear explosion." A Researcher cried tears of joy, for he had witnessed a God among Men, seeing the power of humanity.]

[The figure in the nuclear explosion was you. You intended to use the Nuclear Bomb this time to test your own defenses. As for the danger?]

[You believed that if the Nuclear Bomb could severely injure you, you would have sensed it acutely before it even landed, and given your speed, leaving the center of the nuclear explosion would be easy.]

[As expected, the result of this test did not disappoint you. With your current strength, fully circulating your Qi and Blood, you could easily withstand a close-range, small-scale nuclear explosion.]

[Afterward, you even had a group of the world's first Elementalist Transcendent who reached the Third Realm attack you with full force, and you remained completely unscathed.]

[At this point, your individual military power had reached the top of the Federation. Even some Rule-Based Transcendent Abilities could not harm you.]

[Although these Rule-Based Transcendent Abilities are incredible, if they are used against someone whose strength far exceeds that of the user, the effect will gradually weaken based on the disparity in strength.]

[Following this experiment, and as the Qi and Blood Martial Way spread among the Federation's upper echelons, your reputation reached its peak.]

[Many Families extended an olive branch to you, even arranging the most outstanding women of their Families to be near you, hoping to borrow some excellent "seeds" from you.]

[Naturally, you accepted all comers. As for whether you gave the'seeds,' that was up to your whim. You could now control your Qi and Blood to perform sperm-killing actions.]

[Of course, there were certainly many people with ulterior motives, but you constantly lingered near the Research Institute. In this critical location, no matter how long others' hands were, they couldn't reach you.]

[September, Dawn 105. The first batch of Martial Artists who reached the Martial Dao Third Realm were already able to condense Qi and Blood into weapons and release Qi and Blood for external attacks.]

[You feel that Martial Artists Cultivating the Qi and Blood Martial Way have high defensive power, but their offensive power is somewhat lacking, far inferior to those Elementalist Transcendent.]

[Based on how Transcendent can utilize surrounding Spiritual Qi when releasing their Transcendent abilities, you believe Martial Artists should also be able to do this.]

[Although they lack Transcendent abilities, don't they still have Mental Energy?]

[In your view, the first benefit of strengthening Mental Energy is the ability to better control one's own Qi and Blood, reducing consumption.]

[What is Qi and Blood? It is the Transcendent Energy born from the combination of a person's vitality (Jing Qi) and Spiritual Qi. For those who step into the Qi and Blood Martial Way, Qi and Blood is both a Mana Bar and a Health Bar—or rather, it's a Mana Bar until consumed to a certain extent, after which it becomes a Health Bar.]

[Although Qi and Blood can be replenished as long as it is not completely depleted, if it is consumed down to the Health Bar level, replenishing it becomes difficult.]

[Therefore, reducing the consumption of Qi and Blood can extend combat time to a certain extent and greatly enhance Combat Power.]

[The second benefit is your current goal.]

[When Mental Energy is enhanced enough to draw in surrounding Spiritual Qi, the attacks you launch will become more powerful with the augmentation of Spiritual Qi.]

[As for how to enhance Mental Energy, you feel that relying solely on Visualization to improve is definitely a bit slow. Mainly, they lack good objects for Visualization.]

[You can't just think about the depths of the Universe in your mind and consider the Visualization successful. That's impossible.]

[Suddenly, you thought of the Martial Dao Will you comprehended just before dying in the simulator.]

[That's right. You are now considering renaming that mental power to Martial Dao Will. After all, you Cultivated the Internal Energy Martial Way in the simulator, and now you Cultivate the Qi and Blood Martial Way, so that ability must be called Martial Dao Will.]

[After scientific calculation by the Research Institute, the average Mental Energy Strength of ordinary adults in the Federation is 1. If so, the Mental Energy Strength of a person who reaches the Human Body Limit is 1.2.]

[Martial Artists whose cultivation has reached the Martial Dao Third Realm only have an average Mental Energy Strength of 14 points. This shows that while the enhancement of the Physical Body can drive the enhancement of the spirit, the improvement is not that significant.]

[It is calculated that Mental Energy Strength must reach 20 points or more to be able to draw in surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi using Qi and Blood as a medium, and the requirements for Qi and Blood are also not low.]

[To control Spiritual Qi solely through spirit, Mental Energy Strength must reach 50 points or more.]

[However, your Mental Energy Strength, according to testing, reached an exaggerated 130 points. You believe part of this is due to the Martial Dao Will.]
