CHAPTER 180: CHAPTER 179: THIS EXPLANATION IS REASONABLE, RIGHT?

"Xu Lingjun, come out here. What exactly are you trying to do? Do you want to be the enemy of the Martial Mansion?"

Gu Xi, upon receiving the news, rushed to Xu Lingjun’s residence immediately.

Others might not know...

But she knew when Xu Lingjun entered the Secret Realm.

And just as he entered the Secret Realm, such an incident occurred.

Moreover, since Xu Lingjun became Gu Xi’s student, she had reviewed his files and hobbies, naturally knowing he had a habit of doing good deeds.

If she couldn’t guess who Jigsaw was...

Then she might as well just wash up, find someone to marry, and settle down to have children.

She had just opened the door.

A strong Qi Force was already swirling around, invading the space.

Accompanied by a slightly enticing fragrance, a scent she hadn’t smelled for a long time.

But it was very familiar...

Is this the scent of the Spirit Blood Potion?!

She looked up ahead and saw Xu Lingjun with a slightly flushed face, his whole body making crackling sounds like popping beans, with powerful Qi Blood swirling around him and quickly being absorbed into his body.

So much Qi Blood; if it were someone else, their body would likely swell and burst.

But he seemed perfectly fine.

Instead, the absorption speed got faster and faster, a slightly heavy pressure building up, turning the whole room into a Gravity Room.

Gu Xi understood that the True Qi was circulating too quickly, causing a resonance with the surrounding Spiritual Qi, suppressing anyone who approached him subconsciously.

Even I, a martial artist of the Profound Realm, felt the pressure...

Even if this kid has broken through to the late stage of True Transformation, his True Qi shouldn’t have such overwhelming pressure, should it?

What exactly is going on?

In shock.

As all the Qi Blood around Xu Lingjun was absorbed into his body.

With a loud shout.

Seeing Gu Xi in front, Xu Lingjun’s eyes suddenly brightened, and he shouted, "Sister Xi, take this shot!"

With that, he charged forward.

With a simple and straightforward heavy punch, using the most basic Body Refining Fist Skill taught at school, also the simplest and most intuitive Martial Skill to test strength, aimed directly at Gu Xi.

"Good move!"

Gu Xi knew that Xu Lingjun wanted to use her to verify his own strength.

She neither dodged nor avoided, just raised her hand, and similarly clenched her fist, colliding with Xu Lingjun’s fist!

Bang~~~!

A dull sound.

The airwave spread in all directions from where their fists met... directly overturning the bottles and decorations around them.

The neatly arranged living room instantly became a mess.

And after that punch.

Both of them simultaneously pulled back.

Gu Xi exclaimed with surprise, "Xiaojun, you... you’ve broken through to the late stage of True Transformation? No, breaking through to the late stage of True Transformation means the True Qi is almost compressed to the limit, but even with compression, how can there be so much True Qi..."

She was both surprised and delighted.

Delighted that Xu Lingjun’s cultivation level had once again broken through multiple times.

Surprised that Xu Lingjun’s amount of True Qi was so much more than a normal person’s. You know, the more True Qi one has, the harder it is to break through the True Transformation stage.

If she had known that Xu Lingjun’s total True Qi was this much earlier, she might not have made this deal with him.

But now, she couldn’t help but joyfully admit that she had stumbled upon good fortune.

Although Xu Lingjun’s total True Qi far exceeded the norm, his breakthrough speed also far surpassed that of ordinary people.

At this rate, he won’t need half a year; in just two or three more months, he could directly break through to the Huichuan Realm and become a Tier Three student.

This advancement speed, fear it’s noteworthy in the history of the entire Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion.

"Maybe it’s because my talent is different from ordinary people."

Xu Lingjun naturally couldn’t say it was given by the kind Zhong Dawei.

He explained in detail: "After all, I just entered a Secret Realm, and I was besieged by three strong enemies, fell into a desperate battle, going through life and death struggles, pushing my limits, and then I suddenly realized the ultimate truths of heaven and earth, barely managing to defeat the enemies. Then, I happened to acquire a high-grade bottle of Spirit Blood Potion, and after consuming it, with this dual impact, I broke through very naturally."

He concluded: "Combat is the only surefire way to improve; I battle and then use the potion to break through, isn’t that a very reasonable thing?"

"This... seems to be the case..."

Seeing Gu Xi accepting this explanation, Xu Lingjun began to clean up the mess on the ground, feeling greatly satisfied in his heart.

Hmm... My strength has improved quite a bit again.

Li Jingjun is indeed very generous to me. The high grade Spirit Blood Potion, after spending 40 points of Source Value for a Talent Source, has transformed into a top grade Spirit Blood Potion.

The effect of a top grade Spirit Blood Potion is more than a hundred times better than the lower grade Spirit Blood Potion I used before, isn’t it?

Truly a hundred times stronger, not an exaggeration in the slightest.

At the moment of ingestion, Xu Lingjun could clearly feel himself being filled.

If it weren’t for the miraculous nature of the "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique," and the fact that his internal organs were wrapped in a blood membrane, he might have already bled and been injured from the first impact, possibly even torn apart.

But he withstood it.

And after absorbing this wave of Blood Qi, his cultivation level advanced further, reaching the late stage of the True Transformation Realm.

In one month at school, he broke through two realms consecutively.

It seems that in the future, I can think of ways to stockpile more potion; these things are not as useless as I imagined, but rather the difference between grades is just too huge...

Previously, I was like a frog in a well, thinking too small, embarrassing, really.

While packing his things, he asked with a smile, "How about it, this punch of mine, if faced with a late stage Hui Chuan martial artist, what would the result be?"

Gu Xi said seriously, "With just this punch, you might not fall much behind."

"So that means I would still fall quite a bit behind, huh."

Xu Lingjun thought to himself, although I didn’t use any martial skills, I stored up my strength for so long, yet I still couldn’t match up to a punch from a late stage Hui Chuan?

fre(e).l.c.om

It seems, it’s still not enough.

"By the way, what are you thinking, that Jigsaw... what are you trying to do?"

Gu Xi finally remembered the main issue, saying irritably, "Do you want to become the public enemy of the Martial Mansion?"

Xu Lingjun said speechlessly, "Is the shame-covering function of the mask that poor? I was clearly wearing it, yet the moment I came out everyone knew it was me?"

"Nonsense, others might need to guess and speculate, but wouldn’t I know when you went in? And for the first time, you caused so many troubles. I know you so well; if I can’t even guess that it’s you, I wouldn’t deserve to be your teaching assistant. What on earth are you trying to do?"

Xu Lingjun sighed deeply, "Me, I want to be a partner of justice."

"Speak human words."

"Alright, I just can’t get used to it."

Xu Lingjun thought to himself, if I told the truth, that I just want to earn someone’s genuine gratitude, you would think even less of my words.

He said, "I just can’t get used to the way people say one thing to your face and do another behind your back. Once they put on a mask, they’re willing to do all sorts of bad things. Don’t you think it’s akin to a whore setting up a shrine in the open?"

"Your view is quite original, indeed. According to what I know, the truly powerful people in the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion have likely never plundered others inside, have they? At the very least, those Upper Realm Grandmasters have said during interviews that one should be themselves and not be lured by external temptations."

Gu Xi sighed, "But you do realize, if the truth were ever discovered like this, you’d become the enemy of the public."

"So what?"

Xu Lingjun asked curiously.

"So it’s quite dange..."

Gu Xi paused, glancing at the Leopard Tooth Necklace tightly pressed against Xu Lingjun’s chest.

She knew what that was.

Thinking again about how this guy’s skin was so thick she couldn’t even hurt him...

"Alright, suit yourself, but remember, I deduced that so-called Jigsaw was you based on the time you went in and out. Others might not be certain, but often, even a guess is enough reason for them to act. Be careful, okay?"

Xu Lingjun asked curiously, "Careful of what? Are you referring to people hitting me from behind?"

"Be careful not to beat someone to death."

Gu Xi gave him an annoyed look, thinking to herself about why she always got stuck here; this student was different from others, as his safety wasn’t a concern at all.

At this moment.

The medical area of Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion.

"Old Yan, I found evidence of that so-called Jigsaw."

A small-sized young man hurriedly rushed into the hospital, exclaiming, "I think I’ve guessed who that Jigsaw really is."

"Who is it?"

Yan Huai Kuan instinctively tried to sit up straight, but the severe pain made his body barely move before he cried out and fell back down.

That small-sized young man was none other than the one recently taught a lesson by Xu Lingjun, the Beard Dog.

And his true identity, in Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, was that of the renowned amiable person, Liu Yun.

He said, "This kid does things so bizarrely, why did he never appear before but now suddenly emerge? He is very likely a new student."

"A new student?!"

The fierce and formidable-looking Qinglang Ding Yuan sitting beside Yan Huai Kuan was astonished, "A new student, fighting solo and leaving us old students in such a state? What kind of new student could manage that?"

Liu Yun said, "Have you forgotten the Dragon Gate Champion Scholar of this session? Plus that supposed Noble Son Li Jingjun, and He Ziming from Xi City, these people had already reached the True Transformation Realm when they first enrolled. They are truly heaven’s favored, so their strength surpassing ours isn’t surprising."

Yan Huai Kuan said coldly, "And he wasn’t as invincible as we thought, it’s just his Light Body Technique is formidable. Once we find the flaw in that technique, then... won’t he be at our mercy?"

Ding Yuan said seriously, "Right, Old Yan, your injury is temporarily stabilized. I’ll go find the source of that technique now, and once we understand its mechanism, he won’t escape the grasp of the three of us brothers."

Liu Yun said, "I’ll go test around and try to discern who exactly this Jigsaw is!"

"I..."

Yan Huai Kuan paused for a moment and said, "I’ll focus on healing. My injuries are serious, and it might not be better for several months. In the meantime, you guys might need to regain the honor I lost."

"Understood!"

"Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this."

At that moment, the two of them quickly left.
