Chương 181: War God’s — Chapter 182 - Headmaster Luo Thinks, What About Wang Xian?

Back in the Dragon Calamity Bone Tomb, Wang Xian's plan had been simple: if Yan Zhaoxue couldn't withstand the Cloud Demon Dragon's remains, he'd use the second layer of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Blade Art to pin it down, then stake everything on revealing his Martial God True Intent and unleashing the Asura Single Blade Slash. Maybe he could've won. But even if he'd won, he would've had zero combat strength left. Even with the Thousand-Calamity Dragon Spine's broken blade in hand, he wouldn't have made it out.

Now, with the Profound Ice Divine Flame, his combat power had jumped substantially.

"Spatial force from the foot Stellar Bones: Star Trace Step."

"The fire seed in my Divine Meridian, Nightmare Fire, plus the Profound Ice Divine Flame paired with Tiger Malevolence Blade Art and Prairie Fire Spear Art."

"The perfectly mastered Secret Skill, Star-Piercing Flight. Even basic spear techniques can deal devastating damage to enemies with terrifying defense."

"Martial God True Intent paired with Asura Single Blade Slash as my trump card."

"Immortal-Slaying Flying Blade Art as the ultimate fallback."

"Plus the Demon Blade... if I can cultivate the Vermilion Bird Weapon Soul and the Li Fire Trigram, the weapon can activate Flame Explosion mode and forcibly boost the wielder's combat power." The third line of Weapon Six Lines, the Vermilion Bird Weapon Soul, was pure combat amplification. Through special flame force, using the weapon as a medium, it activated a martial artist's latent potential and made their life force surge explosively. Combat power greatly increased.

Compared to the White Tiger Weapon Soul's defense-breaking and the Black Tortoise Weapon Soul's form-shifting, the Vermilion Bird Weapon Soul was straightforward strength enhancement. During Flame Explosion, the weapon's power rose accordingly. The amplification depended on the martial artist's potential. Higher potential meant greater amplification. For New Martial Arts experts, martial talent equaled potential.

Someone with taboo talent who cultivated the Vermilion Bird Weapon Soul could increase their life force by about 50% when activating Flame Explosion. The amplification was terrifying. And below the Seventh Realm, this amplification wasn't limited by realm boundaries. What did that mean? Say you had 90, 000 life force, placing you at Fourth Realm peak, one step from Fifth Realm. After activating Flame Explosion, you'd break through 100, 000 directly, forcibly elevating yourself to Fifth Realm temporarily.

A Fifth Realm martial artist had broken through 100, 000 life force. At that point, they could unlock five Gene Locks, instantly amplifying combat power again. Simultaneously, a Fifth Realm martial artist's brain domain operation fused spirit and primordial energy, allowing martial intent to truly materialize. Combined with talent-based transcendent martial techniques and materialized intent, it was a dimensionality-reducing strike against anyone below Fourth Realm.

Methods that let life force amplification break through realm boundaries were exceedingly rare. Many combat power amplification methods couldn't push martial artists through realms. But this amplification was limited to Seventh Realm. A Seventh Realm Grandmaster couldn't use this method to break through to Eighth Realm. Unless one completed all of Weapon Six Lines.

Then the Vermilion Bird Weapon Soul's Flame Explosion would rise a tier, letting a Seventh Realm martial artist temporarily break through to Eighth Realm. This was why Weapon Six Lines could cultivate a martial artist's weapon into a Martial Extreme Divine Weapon.

"I don't have taboo talent... but I have Divine Meridian enhancement and Stellar Bones enhancement." You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

"After activating the Vermilion Bird Weapon Soul, my life force can increase by at least 30%."

"That's a significant boost for me." After slowly absorbing the Profound Ice Divine Flame, Wang Xian took out the Demon Blade and began injecting the Profound Ice Divine Flame into it, condensing it into the Vermilion Bird Weapon Soul. He cultivated until evening. Wang Xian put away the Demon Blade. Through the blade's edge, he could faintly see a weapon soul pattern. A small achievement.

"About half a month, and I should be able to condense the Vermilion Bird Weapon Soul completely. Then I just need to awaken it with blood." Wang Xian exhaled. Relatively slow. Having just absorbed the Profound Ice Divine Flame, his control wasn't proficient yet. He was still mastering this power. Overall, absorbing the Profound Ice Divine Flame was a major improvement. His phone lit up. [Ye Miyue: What do you want for dinner? I'm at the market! [image]] [Wang Xian: Buy some moon beans and stir-fry them for me] [Ye Miyue: [fist][fist]!] [Ye Miyue: I'm not buying them for you!]"..." Wang Xian. This girl misunderstood again. [Wang Xian: [eye-roll] I meant who's going to stir-fry them] [Ye Miyue: Hmph] [Ye Miyue: I bought you a white martial uniform [image] Nice, right!] [Wang Xian: Why is this uniform the same color as yours? What are you planning?] [Ye Miyue: Nothing, I just thought it suits you. I noticed the uniforms in your training room are all a bit small. Have you gotten taller recently?] Wang Xian's heart stirred. After cultivating the foot Stellar Bones, he'd indeed grown a few centimeters. Now he was about 1. 89 meters, nearly 1. 9. The girl was observant. But this uniform clearly looked like a couple's outfit with hers. [Wang Xian: Not wearing it. I like wearing slightly smaller ones, tight-fitting, feels comfortable against the body] [Ye Miyue:......] [Wang Xian: If you personally put it on me, I might consider it] [Ye Miyue: No way]... On the other side. Tiandu Jingwu University. Guixin Island, No. 3 Primal Meridian Spirit Residence. Headmaster Song, Shen Lan, and several school leaders sat in the Spirit Residence's main hall. At the head, dressed in white, Headmaster Luo's expression was calm.

"For this Grandmaster Banquet, we've set the venue at Ten Thousand Stars Platform." Headmaster Song glanced at Headmaster Luo, using an elder's advisory tone.

"Little Luo, your side... the situation isn't looking good, is it?" Headmaster Luo said coolly:"It's alright. Just a few from North Bear and Great Eagle are a bit troublesome."

"As for those from East Sakura and Southern Alliance..." She paused. Her tone carried pride:"They won't last ten moves in my hands."

"If they come seeking martial guidance, I can instruct them. But if they want to get serious... I don't mind letting Ten Thousand Stars Platform be spattered with blood." Everyone in the room felt a slight chill.

"Sister Luo..." Shen Lan frowned.

"We're worried about your disciple."

"Those coming aren't just here to seek martial guidance from you."

"Your disciple is the main focus."

"You haven't taken a disciple in a long time, and you're Tiandu University's vice-headmaster. They'll definitely focus on having their disciples challenge yours, using that to put our university down a notch."

"Originally, with Ye Miyue's taboo talent, we had nothing to fear."

"But now..." The people in the room exchanged glances, frowning.

"Indeed..." Headmaster Song mused.

"Especially since some of those Grandmasters' disciples were sent to our Dragon Country's military last year for the International Martial Arts Exchange Program to undergo martial training."

"Their strength isn't to be underestimated."

"Some have even reached Fourth Realm already." Headmaster Luo's brow furrowed slightly:"So fast?"

"They've been preparing for a while." Headmaster Song shook his head helplessly.

"Before, a Seventh Realm Grandmaster from our Tiandu University went to their side for a Grandmaster Banquet and stole the spotlight several times. They've definitely been looking to reclaim face."

"Naturally, they've been preparing. And among our Tiandu University leadership in recent years, you're the only one who broke through to Seventh Realm."

"Now Ye Miyue is injured. Although she can still fight... she's injured, and her talent can't be used. She definitely won't withstand successive challenges from those Grandmasters' disciples."

"Let alone those Fourth Realm disciples personally taught by Grandmasters." At this point, the room fell silent. The outlook wasn't optimistic.

"How about..." Shen Lan mused, "Sister Luo, you pick another student with good aptitude from our school and take them as a personal disciple? Just to get through this hurdle?"

"I'm afraid that won't work."

"Even if we choose, we can only choose from the Sword Dao Department. Sister Luo walks the Sword Dao path. Picking from another department would be too obvious."

"But even if we pick one, it'll be easy for others to gossip."

"In my opinion, Little Luo is originally a Sword Department mentor. Students in that major can all be called her disciples. Representing her in battle wouldn't be out of the question."

"How can that work? The other side is challenging with personal disciples. Those personal disciples are at most second-year students in age. If you send third- or fourth-year students to fight, honestly, that's shameless..."

"But within first- and second-year range, in the Sword Department, no one compares to Ye Miyue..."

"Then what do you suggest?" The leaders looked at each other. Headmaster Luo frowned and remained silent.

"How about... picking someone from another department?" Shen Lan suddenly said.

"Pick a first- or second-year student from another major. Pick someone you think is suitable. We'll have him learn sword techniques for a few days and help Ye Miyue block one or two matches."

"Just have him lose on purpose. Lose to the personal disciples of the Grandmasters from North Bear, Great Eagle, and East Sakura. Those three are the strongest."

"Then let Ye Miyue win the rest. That way, more wins than losses, and it won't look too bad." This method was a stretch. But it seemed passable. The leaders nodded slightly.

"You proposed it, so you decide who's suitable." Headmaster Luo shook her head. She felt this approach was still a trick. Using the inferior horse against the superior horse. The wisdom of Dragon Country's ancients.

"Your..." Shen Lan and Headmaster Song exchanged a glance, then looked at Headmaster Luo.

"What about Wang Xian?" ➤ Next: The Stern Principal Luo!
