Chapter 190: Chapter 188: Comprehensive Enhancement (Part 2) The next moment. ’Crack, crack, crack!’ 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎 The man in blue turned his fist into a blade, which flashed like lightning as it sliced through the necks of those armed enemies. In an instant, more than ten spearmen fell, clutching their severed necks, their eyes turning white, dead beyond dead! Behind him, all the martial artists watching this scene suddenly widened their eyes, filled with disbelief. Meanwhile, the silver-haired martial artist had a contented smile on his lips, yet that smile was forever frozen... In reality, Lou Yi opened his eyes. In the void, a large flow of energy entered his body, continuously strengthening his physique, slowly enhancing its robustness. To Lou Yi’s current physique, the enhancement was not significant, unable to cause a qualitative change, but it was better than nothing. The greatest gain was not this, but the sudden surge of memory in his mind. Following the method from the memory. Lou Yi’s entire Qi-blood suddenly erupted, his body surface glowing with a blinding red light, large amounts of white steam evaporating off, making him seem enveloped in a vast white fog. At the same time, the belief in his heart of "who else but me, none can challenge me" surged like an endless river, raging continuously. The combination of belief and Qi-blood created a new change. An invisible wave burst forth, spreading forward. A black mosquito that had just flown by suddenly froze in mid-air, motionless. Then it burst with a ’pop’, turning into a mist of blood. "Is this... aura?" Lou Yi was no longer that rookie; having read many ancient books, he also understood the existence of aura. When Qi-blood reaches its limit, coupled with an unstoppable belief, it may form an aura. Even among martial artists, only a few can comprehend aura, and those who do are remembered throughout history. In a contest between experts, the aura stirs first. After comprehending aura. Facing weaker opponents, Lou Yi could suppress them entirely, leaving no opportunity, and against stronger opponents, he could disrupt them and seek victory from danger. Unlike the intimidating effect brought by Splitting Mountain, aura can be released or withdrawn at any time, covering a broader range. ’With aura, I have a better grasp against martial artists,’ Lou Yi couldn’t help but think. The Heavy Sword Sect leader Jiang Chi he had killed before had just broken through as a martial artist, surely at the bottom among martial artists. Against those long-established martial artists, Lou Yi had no assurance, but fortunately, now he had another trump card. He didn’t expect that mastering the fist technique could bring such benefits. However, this was also due to his Qi-blood greatly exceeding the limits of ordinary people. If he had improved the fist technique when his Qi-blood was slightly weaker before, he might not have comprehended the aura. After all, compared with the ’self’ in Hongyang Martial Arts Hall who had no attribute panel in the memory. The reality was that his belief fell short, so he had to rely on Qi-blood to forcefully stack. After advancing his fist technique to great accomplishment, only less than a hundred energy was left. Lou Yi didn’t panic at all, and continued to return to the city wall to participate in the city defense battle. The next night, Lou Yi collected nearly two hundred more energy points and began enhancing the Light Body Technique. The state of Light Body Technique changed from (Minor Achievement 0/200) to (Great Success). After reaching Great Success, no further energy requirement for advancement was given. This means that this martial art has reached its limit and can no longer be upgraded. Martial arts also vary in strength, with greater potential allowing them to reach higher stages, while lesser potential reaches a point where they cannot progress further. The Light Body Technique at the Great Success Level made Lou Yi’s body technique even more elusive and uncanny. It was almost equivalent to someone of the same realm practicing diligently for seventy to eighty years. Along with the Swift Talent, even martial artists would find it hard to catch him. At this time, the battle at the moat was still ongoing. Disciples of major sects and clans, the second wave had already been sent to the tower to participate in the defense of Tai City. There are no complete eggs under a toppled nest. Once the city gates are breached, everything of these prominent clans will be lost, and no one dares to be clever at this time. However, high-level forces like those above the Great Circulation level have not yet gotten involved. Good steel must be used at the cutting edge, for more challenging tests await them. Like on the first day, Lou Yi watched over his sect brothers on the tower during the day, and chatted with Captain Wang to learn some secrets that ordinary people couldn’t know. At night, he stealthily descended the tower to collect energy. Five days later, his energy broke a thousand, and the time for a breakthrough had finally arrived. Back at his residence, he began advancing his realm. Three-Blood Warrior (600/600) → Four-Blood Warrior (0/600) The three strands of secret blood that originally existed inside Lou Yi’s body began to circulate at high speed and expand rapidly, as if boiling... Upon reaching their limit, they each split off a part, forming a fourth secret blood. The four strands of secret blood connected end to end. Sometimes circulating in the chest cavity, sometimes spreading throughout the limbs, absorbing the remaining energy heat, then feeding back to the body, promoting each other to grow stronger. Lou Yi’s physique was further enhanced. The most noticeable change was in his basic strength, which increased by 20%. Originally, his full-force strike was thirteen thousand catties, now it reached fifteen thousand catties. At the same time, his lifespan increased by two years, officially stepping into the senior realm. After breaking through to Four-Blood, the realm advancement proficiency remained at thirty points per day. Thus, it would take just twenty days to reach the Great Circulation. By then, his strength would surely have a considerable leap. On the second day after Lou Yi broke through to Four-Blood. The moat was finally filled with the corpses of various hippos and bulls. The beast tide army charged smoothly all the way to the fortress below, spending half a day leveling the trenches, the most severe tower siege battle was about to commence! "Roar! Roar! Roar!" "Howl! Ooh! Howl!" "Snort! Snort! Snort!" Various roaring noises from wild beasts and ferocious birds were like boiling water, continuously sounding in the ears, causing headaches and dizziness. At the same time, the foul stench reached the tower, causing many female disciples to cover their mouths and noses involuntarily. Zhan Weida looked down and felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. Tens of thousands of beasts, including tigers, leopards, bears, wolves, apes, deer, cows, zebras, pythons, lizards, hippos, rhinos, and various other types. Were all crowded below the tower, a dense mass, each eager to climb up. Tai City’s walls were thirty to forty feet high, built with white boulders. The wind and frost of years had long eroded them into full of cracks and crevices, which instead became places for these beasts to leverage. With apes, leopards, bears, lizards, and others who were adept at climbing quickly ascending several yards high; although there was some distance to the top, it was a matter of time without obstruction. "Throw the rocks! Stop them!" the lieutenant colonel roared in anger. Prepared wagons loaded with rocks were pushed to the wall’s edge. The martial artists nearby, each with the strength of a thousand catties, picked up the irregular rocks, hurriedly throwing them down. The rocks weighed at least dozens of catties, falling as free fall, carrying at least tens of thousands of joules of kinetic energy. Even an elephant hit would face a high risk of death. Resounding ’boom, boom, boom’ sounds continuously echoed; the beasts who climbed highest almost all became souls beneath the rocks. ...
