Chapter 39: Breakthrough—First Heaven of the Great Grandmaster Realm! His Strength Soared!!
Although it could not compare to the outrageous returns from earlier, when he had earned more than ten million in just a few minutes on the arena platform, it was still far from insignificant.
He moved swiftly from one colosseum to the next.
He harvested every White Trait on the ground. As for the Green Traits, he left them to chance. Their numbers were only a tiny fraction of the White ones.
There was no need to waste time searching for them.
At present, Xiao Xuan could pick up Traits worth the equivalent of seven to eight hundred thousand Eco Points almost every hour.
During this time, Xiao Xuan also used those Eco Points to strengthen his Soul Strength.
His Soul Strength, too, reached Ten Revolutions.
Reaching Ten Revolutions meant that a single point of Soul Value could unleash ten points’ worth of combat power.
The reason Liu Yunhai had been so powerful was chiefly because his soul had reached the formidable level of the Eighth Revolution.
At that level, he was nearly invincible even within the Great Grandmaster Realm.
If there had not also been some prodigies in the Great Grandmaster Realm with Silver Talents, and if those prodigies had not possessed either True Qi above the Fifth Revolution or souls above the Fifth Revolution, he might well have been invincible throughout the entire Great Grandmaster Realm.
That was why Xiao Xuan absolutely had to reach the limit of Ten Revolutions. Otherwise, sooner or later, he would be the one getting killed by someone fighting above their realm.
And as his Soul Strength continued to rise, Xiao Xuan’s Divine Sense range also increased by a fair amount.
Correspondingly, the amount of Eco Points he could pick up every hour also kept increasing.
Time passed quickly.
Before long, more than ten hours had gone by.
And his Soul Strength had finally reached the level of Ten Revolutions.
The total cost had reached a full 9 million.
But thanks to the increase in his Soul Strength, even after spending those 9 million, Xiao Xuan still had more than 2 million Eco Points left.
And with that many Eco Points, it was enough for Xiao Xuan to raise his realm into the Great Grandmaster Realm. Moreover, both his Vitality and Soul could be upgraded at the same time.
After that, Xiao Xuan rented a cultivation room and directly used his telekinetic force to block out any external probing.
It might have been somewhat unnecessary, but this time he was planning to raise his realm by more than tenfold.
So he had no choice but to be cautious.
If some top-tier powerhouse noticed something unusual, it would be very difficult to explain.
“Supreme Will, raise both my Vitality Value and Soul Value to 10,000!”
With that thought, he did not hesitate in the slightest and directly issued the command to the Supreme Will.
【Instruction accepted. Enhancement will begin shortly! Please prepare yourself!】
A notification sounded immediately after.
BOOM!!!
In an instant, an incomparably violent surge of power poured straight into Xiao Xuan’s body.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!!
At that moment, every muscle, bone, and even every cell in Xiao Xuan’s body was being strengthened at a frenzied pace.
Under the infusion of that immense power, his strength exploded upward at a terrifying rate.
Meanwhile, the Ten Revolutions of Innate True Qi within his body also began rapidly condensing.
In the end, they transformed into an even tougher form of energy.
This was Astral Qi, the energy of the Grandmaster level.
The instant Innate True Qi transformed into Astral Qi, its power doubled outright.
And Xiao Xuan’s Vitality Value jumped from 999 to 1,000 in an instant.
And that was only the beginning.
Next, his Vitality Value began soaring upward at an astonishing rate.
Two thousand, three thousand, four thousand, five thousand.
At the same time, Xiao Xuan’s Bloodthirsty Demonic Art also began operating madly, growing faster and faster. The amount of Essence-Blood it burned every second rose rapidly as well.
At that moment, a terrifying blood-red aura blazed all over his body.
This was the manifestation of Essence-Blood burning at a frantic rate.
And the faster the Essence-Blood burned, the more terrifying the Bloodthirsty Demonic Art’s boost to Xiao Xuan’s strength became.
Earlier, Xiao Xuan had already upgraded his healing-type talent to Silver, so the rate at which his Essence-Blood burned had already increased by well over tenfold.
And now, his Vitality Value had risen by another factor of ten.
The rate at which Xiao Xuan’s Essence-Blood burned increased another tenfold.
That full hundredfold burning speed directly raised the Bloodthirsty Demonic Art’s enhancement to his power from its original six- or sevenfold increase to a horrifying seventeenfold.
And this was an improvement at the most fundamental, lowest level of Vitality strength.
Even a Gold healing-type talent could not achieve such a terrifying rate of combustion.
Yet now, Xiao Xuan had done exactly that.
But the reason the Bloodthirsty Demonic Art was called a demonic art was not merely because its cultivation method was extraordinarily unorthodox.
There was another reason as well. It was because cultivating this art made it frighteningly easy to suffer cultivation deviation. The frenzied burning of Essence-Blood and the body’s extreme reinforcement were not things that just anyone could endure.
Before this, Xiao Xuan’s soul would definitely have been eroded by those violent Vitality fluctuations, causing his consciousness to descend into chaos.
But now things were different.
He possessed two Silver Soul Cultivator Traits.
As a result, Xiao Xuan’s Mental Power was extraordinarily strong.
The Bloodthirsty Demonic Art’s erosion of the mind had no effect on him at all.
And at the same time, Xiao Xuan’s Soul Strength was also soaring rapidly.
In the end, it too reached the terrifying level of 10,000 points.
...
...
A long while later, Xiao Xuan finally adapted to the explosive surge in his strength.
Feeling the power coursing through him, he could not help the slight curl of his lips.
“So this is the Great Grandmaster Realm!?”
Xiao Xuan clenched his fist.
A Vitality Value of 10,000 should originally have brought him ten thousand tons of strength. But under the amplification of the Silver Strength Enhancement Trait and the boost from the Bloodthirsty Demonic Art, the base physical strength of his body alone had already reached a terrifying 7 million tons.
Seven million tons. With a single punch, the sheer force alone was enough to flatten a hundred-meter building in an instant.
“This place really is a treasure trove. And this is only a provincial capital city.”
“If I make it to the Imperial Capital, then the speed at which my strength grows should become even more terrifying, shouldn’t it?”
At that thought, Xiao Xuan’s eyes flickered slightly.
When he thought of those prodigies for whom Silver and Gold were practically commonplace, he found himself looking forward to it.
“Right, I almost forgot. My weapons still haven’t been upgraded.
“Luckily, I still have a little over three hundred thousand Eco Points left. I’ll raise them to Purple for now!”
Only then did Xiao Xuan suddenly remember that matter.
“Supreme Will, upgrade all the Traits on my weapons and Nanotech Battle Armor to Purple!”
Xiao Xuan directly issued the command.
【Instruction accepted!】
With that cold notification, a burst of purple radiance blossomed across Xiao Xuan’s weapon and Nanotech Battle Armor.
In an instant, the lightning and flames on Xiao Xuan’s Thunderflame Frenzy Saber began raging violently.
The original green flames swiftly turned blue, and their power increased severalfold at once. Then they continued surging upward until they were finally strengthened into purple flames and purple lightning.
The terrifying power released by that purple lightning and purple fire made even Xiao Xuan’s eyes brighten.
As for the Nanotech Battle Armor, it too underwent a tremendous change.
What had originally already become a Smartwatch instantly transformed into a mass of silver-black liquid that rippled wildly.
