204: 204.

Metamorphosis 204: 204.

Metamorphosis Whether it was Martial Arts or Refining God cultivation, breaking through a realm was never as simple as adding a point and hearing a “ding” sound.

Cell division and growth required time, and the body needed to adjust to changes.

Under normal circumstances, it took about 2 to 3 days.

During this period, one needed to rest and avoid both significant physical movements and extreme emotional fluctuations.

Thus, Lu Li had to live a plain and simple life for a while, abstaining from grapefruits and peaches, to heal and transform himself, like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis.

Quietly observing the influence of his inner breath on the bone marrow, he serenely adapted to the increasingly scorching heat of his blood, and three days quickly passed by.

On February 18th, early in the morning, Lu Li woke up alone in bed and looked at his own body.

“My blood…

it’s not hot anymore.”

In fact, his body temperature had never changed from the beginning.

It felt like the blood was hot because the body couldn’t adapt to the sudden presence of high-energy blood.

Now that the transformation had ended and his cells had developed sufficiently robustly, he had adapted to the changes.

Lu Li knew that his breakthrough had officially ended.

He went out to the courtyard, walked up to the Cadillac, and lifted it with his hands.

The car, along with the two metal puppets and the ammunition in the trunk, weighed about two tons.

Feeling that it was manageable, Lu Li set the car down with a clang.

Hearing the noise, the two girls hurriedly opened the door and ran out.

Xiao Cha’s eyes lit up when she saw Lu Li putting down the car:

“Congratulations, Mr.

Lu, on your successful Martial Arts Marrow Cleansing!”

She stretched out her snow-white arm and said with a cheerful smile, “Come on, let’s shake hands~”

Lu Li stepped forward to clasp her hands, and then he suddenly pulled with all his might.

Amid the massive surge of strength, Xiao Cha stood immovable like the deeply rooted trunk of an ancient tree and nodded,

“A strength of about 5,000 pounds, that’s passable.”

A Marrow Cleansing strength of 6,000 pounds was just an average; individual differences could be quite significant.

For instance, Xiao Cha’s strength was approaching 8,000 pounds, which was why she could easily assess Lu Li’s level.

As for Lu Li, he was quite satisfied with his condition, after all, he had relied on Spiritual Objects, and his foundation was not primarily in Martial Arts.

At this moment, his eyes shone like stars, and a terrifying invisible force burst forth explosively.

Everything in the courtyard—the car, several large grindstones, stone locks, and even the two girls—floated into the air simultaneously.

Xiao Cha laughed heartily and opened her arms excitedly:

“All these things weigh around 8,000 pounds.

Has your Refining God Cultivation also made great progress!?”

“That’s right, the spirit relies on the body for existence, a strong body leads to a vigorous spirit.”

Lu Li thought and withdrew his power, gently setting them down.

“Thanks to the physical enhancement from Martial Arts Marrow Cleansing, my spirit strength has increased by thirty percent, I can now practice ‘sonic telekinesis.'”

No sooner had he spoken than he pointed with his hand.

Six Flying Swords flew neatly in front of him, aligned in perfect order.

After a brief preparation, they burst forth one after another!

Their speed approached 360 meters per second—surpassing the speed of sound!

When they suddenly accelerated, a loud boom could be heard, which was the “sonic boom” created by breaking the sound barrier.

The air around the swords showed a misty, twisted blur, otherwise known as “sonic boom clouds.”

“This sonic sword control has naturally come to be in conjunction with Martial Arts Marrow Cleansing.”

Lu Li reflected with a smile, “It seems I had the mental strength but lacked this explosive force!”

When a Flying Sword breaks the sound barrier, it becomes extremely hard to dodge, drastically increasing combat power.

Xiao Cha’s eyes showed admiration, and although she was delighted, she didn’t quite grasp the significance.

But Wanqing, who knew well the difficulty of breaking the sound barrier, understood that it required extremely strong mental fortitude and control.

“Husband is indeed gifted~”

She had barely voiced her admiration when suddenly she felt a chill on her skin, as if she had come close to something sharp.

Lu Li held the “Mountain Breaking Sword” in his hand.

The sword’s scars had completely healed under the careful nurturing of his spirit, and its sharp blade flashed with cold light, spreading a chill around.

Even a glance at it felt like something sharp was pressing against one’s eyeballs, sending a shiver down the spine!

“It upgraded after cutting through that katana,” he recalled the contents of the “Feijian Refining Notes” and offered a layman’s explanation.

Sword-type magic artifacts, which love to fight and destroy, would evolve and transform like a level-up pet after overpowering their peers.

Xiao Cha, full of curiosity, asked, “Has it become a magic treasure then?”

“Not even close, it’s still a long way off.”

There’s a very clear boundary for magic treasures; they must be like the Kunlun Mirror, capable of turning solid to void and entering their master’s Sea of Consciousness.

Lu Li smiled and said, “But a significant increase in might is for sure!”

With a flick of his hand, the “Mountain Breaking Sword” actually burst forth with a ring of sonic booms, shooting out at a speed of 400 meters per second, far surpassing many of his junior brothers and sisters!

The two girls clapped and cheered, but right after that, they were pulled into Lu Li’s embrace by an invisible force.

Lu Li, holding them, walked towards his room and said with a calm expression,

“We’ve got plenty to celebrate, let’s do so.

It’s still early; time for a ‘big cozy lie-in’~”

“Sleep your big head, ghost!”

Xiao Cha pinched him as soon as her hand was raised, “You big hoofed pervert!

How can you say such things so naturally!”

Lu Li raised his hand to defend himself and said, “Hear me out, I have to leave for a while soon.

Let’s enjoy ourselves before parting.”

Hearing this, Xiao Cha’s movements slowed, but she soon pinched again,

“That still doesn’t mean you can do shameful things!

You shameless creature!”

“Sss~ Wait a second~”

Lu Li couldn’t hold her off and quickly said, “Then how about one at a time, Xiao Cha?

You have to go to work, you go first?”

“Hmph!

Forget it!

I need to get to the National Martial Arts Association earlier to visit Sister Xia.”

Xiao Cha pinched him twice more before finally letting go, displeased with Lu Li.

She knew all too well that a Blood Swapping Warrior’s senses were sharp, and Sister Xia even had the Refining God Cultivation from Meditation.

If she got intimate with a man early in the morning, she would be discovered, and that would be too embarrassing.

“Alright, I’ll find you tonight then.”

Lu Li didn’t insist and took the obedient Wanqing into the room.

Soon after, cries were heard coming from the room, Xiao Cha spat and turned to run away.

~~~~~~~~~

Wanqing was tender like water, always poised and quiet, she gave in to Lu Li’s every request without hesitation.

Such a wonderful woman was naturally dearly loved by Lu Li.

He hugged Wanqing tightly and gave a few fervent shivers before sincerely saying,

“With you here, I don’t even want to go back.”

Wanqing was thrilled and spoke softly,

“Husband likes, and your concubine is willing to serve every day, but don’t neglect your important matters.

Besides, absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?”

“Mhm, I’ve got it in mind.”

Utilizing the brief state of desirelessness, Lu Li pondered over what he had to do upon his return.

Firstly, he needed to bring back the Calming Incense for the National Martial Arts Association.

Secondly, he had to check if there was anything going on at Blue Star, but since Jessica hadn’t contacted him, he assumed all was well.

As for the Otherworld, he needed to start preparing to annihilate the Jiushan Sect, to gain benefits such as Cultivation Methods and Spirit Veins.

“Need more heavy firepower, Terminators…”

After pondering a while, Lu Li was now ready to go.

Wanqing felt it and prepared herself for the impending impact.

Having refrained for three days, Lu Li resumed his days of indulging in hearty feasts.
