“It’s time to start preparing for the breakthrough to the Transforming Realm.”
Terra Su’s eyes sparkled with confidence.
For an average Martial Practitioner, considering a breakthrough to the Transforming Realm at the Condensing Origin Realm eighth-level would be unthinkable. The leap to the Transforming Realm is a formidable challenge, with ninety-nine percent of Condensing Origin Realm tenth-level practitioners failing and remaining stuck at that level forever.
Thus, contemplating the Transforming Realm at the eighth level of the Condensing Origin Realm is unrealistic, akin to chasing a will-o’-the-wisp.
However, for Terra Su, such concerns were non-existent. In his previous life, he was an Elixir Path Emperor. If he couldn’t even cross into the Transforming Realm in this life, he might as well find a piece of tofu and bash his head against it.
Terra Su had many methods to break through to the Transforming Realm. Several types of elixirs could significantly increase the success rate for Condensing Origin Realm tenth-level practitioners.
But Terra Su wasn’t in a hurry. He had just broken through to the eighth level of the Condensing Origin Realm and had plenty of time.
Next, Terra Su took advantage of the sharpness that came with his recent breakthrough and began to train in martial techniques and movement skills.
Three days passed in a flash.
The results were remarkable.
Terra Su successfully advanced “Waves Stacking Slash” by one level, reaching the “One Sword, Thirteen Waves” stage, doubling the power of his sword technique.
“Five Elements Fist” also advanced by one level, reaching the third level of Great Perfection, elevating its grade to Mystic Grade mid-tier.
“Wolf Shadow Six Transformations” was trained to the second level of Great Perfection. This movement technique had only three levels, and reaching the third level of Great Perfection would allow him to create six clones to confuse his opponents.
“If I break through to the Transforming Realm, I should be able to cultivate Sword Qi. In fact, if everything goes exceptionally well, cultivating Sword Qi at the Condensing Origin Realm tenth-level isn’t impossible.”
Terra Su’s eyes gleamed with anticipation.
Sword Qi is the hallmark of a swordsman, just as Blade Qi is for a blade master. Sword Qi is incredibly sharp and immensely powerful.
For a swordsman, cultivating Sword Qi signifies a transformation. Even a single strand of Sword Qi is far more powerful than any sword technique without it.
However, for most swordsmen, the minimum requirement to cultivate Sword Qi is the Transforming Realm, and even then, only exceptionally talented swordsmen can achieve it.
Cultivating Sword Qi is no easy task; it requires years of immersion in swordsmanship and an innate, profound understanding of sword techniques.
But Terra Su had confidence in himself.
This confidence was not only based on his extraordinary comprehension in this life but also on his past life, where he had been close friends with a Sword Emperor and had observed his sword practice countless times.
Therefore, Terra Su’s understanding of sword techniques surpassed that of most sword masters in this world, and this was no exaggeration.
“Hurry and reach the Transforming Realm. Only by reaching the Transforming Realm can I cultivate many advanced martial techniques and secret arts. Otherwise, having a belly full of secret manuals but being unable to practice them is truly frustrating.”
Terra Su muttered to himself.
That night, Terra Su had a good night’s sleep to replenish the energy consumed by his training.
The next day was the gathering day for Silver Medal students.
Terra Su slept until the sun was high in the sky. After washing up, he headed to the small square.
By the time he arrived, a group of students had already gathered. Among them, a young man, clearly the organizer and leader, stood surrounded by others.
This young man had a distinctive bald head, a tall and imposing figure, and features as sharp as if carved by a knife, giving him an aura of authority at first glance.
The bald young man wore a Silver Medal on his chest.
Around him were several other students, also wearing Silver Medals.
“Senior Brother Lu, isn’t it about time to start the gathering?” a student asked.
The bald young man suddenly opened his eyes, his stern gaze sweeping over everyone present. His name was Lu Can, and he was recognized as the top Silver Medal student.
His cultivation level had reached the second level of the Transforming Realm, and his combat abilities were formidable. It was highly likely that he would earn a Gold Medal next year and be promoted to a Gold Medal student.
Thus, Lu Can held a high status among the Silver Medal students, and he organized every Silver Medal student gathering.
At this moment, Lu Can’s gaze swept over the crowd, and he frowned, his voice authoritative, “Why is there one person missing?”
“One person missing?”
The nearby student was taken aback and immediately started counting, “One, two, three… Seventeen in total, Senior Brother Lu, no one is missing.”
Smack!
The student received a knock on the head from another, “You idiot, did you forget that a new Silver Medal student joined a few days ago? Senior Brother Lu is asking why that person isn’t here.”
“Right, why isn’t the newcomer here?”
“Hmph, this newcomer has quite the attitude. We personally delivered the invitation, and he didn’t show up. Does he think he’s above us senior brothers and sisters?”
“I heard he’s from a humble background. These low-born bumpkins just don’t understand etiquette.”
The Silver Medal students present were annoyed upon hearing that the newcomer hadn’t shown up.
“Maybe the newcomer got held up by something,” a pretty girl said with a smile. She seemed to have some influence among the Silver Medal students, and when she spoke, many fell silent.
“Let’s not wait any longer. Let’s start the gathering,” Lu Can said in a deep voice. “Today’s gathering, as always, is for us Silver Medal students to spar, exchange insights on the Martial Dao, and strengthen our bonds.”
“But before that, I want to introduce a new member.”
As Lu Can spoke, he clapped his hands, and a person emerged from the shadows of the small square.
“Everyone, this is Qi Yuntian, a new student this year. Although he hasn’t earned a Silver Medal yet, his cultivation level has already reached the first level of the Transforming Realm. It’s only a matter of time before he gets the Silver Medal. So, I’ve decided to let him join our Silver Medal student gatherings early to exchange and spar with us.”
As soon as Lu Can finished speaking, everyone gasped. A new student at the Transforming Realm?
Some of the older Silver Medal students hadn’t even reached the Transforming Realm, only being at the half-step Transforming Realm. And those who had reached the first level of the Transforming Realm were already in their twenties or even nearing thirty.
But Qi Yuntian looked under twenty and had already reached the first level of the Transforming Realm. He was truly a top-tier genius.
