Chapter 517: Chapter 517 Ignoring The Dragon Vein
A razor-sharp beam of light sliced through the air, cutting it like a blade.
The mustached man jumped back in alarm, barely escaping the attack.
"Damn, that nearly killed me." The mustached man tapped his chest and whispered under his breath.
Some distance away, I finally managed to push myself up from the ground.
I squeezed my fists tight, sensing the energy coursing through my body.
"I can finally feel a hint of Martial Marquis strength," I whispered.
Sure, half-step Martial Marquis wasn’t a real level, but I could definitely sense the Martial Marquis power flowing through me!
They say Martial Marquis marks a turning point, and reaching it means entering a whole new world.
I never got it before, but now I could feel this different energy in my body and it all made sense.
"Just a taste of Martial Marquis power and I can feel this massive difference," I muttered.
"If I actually reach Martial Marquis, it really will be like stepping into another dimension."
Martial Marquis matched the Golden Core Stage in cultivation terms.
When that happened, my body would form a golden core, totally different from training the organs and guts!
Put simply, real cultivation began at the Golden Core Stage!
"I should test the Dragon Vein’s power now," I thought.
Even this small change made a world of difference in strength.
The Complete Inner Strength Grandmaster level couldn’t even compare to half-step Martial Marquis.
"So, did you make it to half-step Martial Marquis?" The mustached man jogged over and asked.
I glanced at him and said, "You seem to know your stuff."
The mustached man grinned and said, "Master’s robbed tons of graves, and I’ve seen endless amounts of info!"
Then the mustached man said carefully, "Not gonna lie, I’ve even raided a chaotic body’s tomb."
"Seriously?!" I was shocked and stared hard at the mustached man.
The mustached man said proudly, "You bet it’s true!"
"If you get the chance, take me there," I said seriously.
I knew almost nothing about chaotic bodies.
And a chaotic body’s grave might help me figure out some mysteries, maybe even show me the right path.
"Alright, time to head up." I looked up at the Dragon Vein above me.
The mustached man muttered, "You go first, give me a heads up when you’re finished."
I didn’t say anything else. I stared at the Dragon Vein and started climbing up step by step.
——
Above the Dragon Vein.
These dozen or so Capital City Martial Arts Association members sat cross-legged here, desperately soaking up qi.
For them, the qi felt limitless, and after days of absorbing it, it barely decreased.
Meanwhile, Phoebe Billy was still locked in closed-door training.
He was doing everything possible to break through to the Martial Marquis level!
Right then.
A beam of light suddenly blazed up from below.
"Huh?"
Dahlia Sean was first to notice something wrong.
He opened his eyes and immediately looked toward where the light came from.
"Mason Raymond?"
Looking closer, it was definitely Mason Raymond, who’d been kicked off the cliff!
His shout woke up many people.
They all got up and stared at Mason Raymond nearby.
"Mason Raymond’s still alive?"
"Didn’t President Phoebe say he was already finished? Look at him... where’s any sign he’s beaten?"
Just like they said, Mason Raymond looked full of energy right now, his hair wild and flowing, radiating total contempt for everything. Where was any hint of being defeated?
"This Mason Raymond has killed several half-step Martial Marquis fighters! We’re screwed!"
"Yeah, President Phoebe’s still in retreat, and who here can handle him..."
"What’s there to worry about!"
Just when everyone was freaking out, Dahlia Sean stepped forward.
He stared at Mason Raymond coldly and said, "Mason Raymond, I was just regretting not getting to fight you. You’re not beaten down, which is exactly what I wanted!"
I looked at Dahlia Sean and said, "You’re not a match for me, get out of the way."
Dahlia Sean’s eyes widened, and his face went pale!
Was he being dismissed?
"Mason Raymond! You’re looking down on me?!" Dahlia Sean said coldly.
I sneered, "Even at the same level, you wouldn’t be my match, never mind you’re just Peak Grandmaster."
Dahlia Sean shouted, "I’m proud of fighting above my level! So what if it’s half-step Martial Marquis? I, Dahlia Sean, can still beat you!"
Dahlia Sean’s energy suddenly exploded, full of fighting spirit, and he looked ready to attack.
I stared at Dahlia Sean coldly and said, "Fine, since you want to die, I’ll make it happen."
"Arrogant!" Dahlia Sean roared, and instantly his body burst with brilliant light!
At just eighteen years old, Dahlia Sean had already mastered the Sean family’s top technique!
With one move, he unleashed the Sean family’s inherited Divine Rank skill, Mystic Heavenly Sage Hand!
A massive hand filled the sky, bringing crushing power and smashing toward me!
For a moment, the ground under my feet started cracking!
And the people around were hit by the pressure, backing away again and again!
I stood at the center of the storm, face blank, my eyes filled with indifference.
"Die!"
With a roar, the giant hand slammed down toward me!
"Bang!"
But I just stood there, not moving as the giant hand hit me!
"Your technique’s not bad, but it matters who’s using it," I said coldly.
Dahlia Sean’s face went white!
How could the Mystic Heavenly Sage Hand, a real divine-level technique, not hurt Mason Raymond at all? How was that possible?!
"Hum!"
Not far away, light sparked from my palm.
A similarly huge hand began slowly forming!
"Mys... Mystic Heavenly Sage Hand?!" Seeing this, Dahlia Sean’s heart started racing!
How could Mason Raymond also know the Mystic Heavenly Sage Hand?
"They say Mason Raymond once learned Walton Greer’s signature move in no time!"
"Today, looks like his reputation’s earned!"
"He actually picked up the Divine Rank technique that fast!"
"Yeah, even with flaws, being able to grasp this skill so quickly, I bet there’s nobody else in the world!"
Hearing these comments, Dahlia Sean wanted to die!
It took him three whole months to understand the Mystic Heavenly Sage Hand and barely get started.
But I just took one look and could copy it!
What incredible talent!
"Divine Rank techniques are good, but they’re wasted on you," I said coldly.
Before I finished talking, I had already swung my giant hand down!
