Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the cultivation room.
Lu Yuan was sitting cross-legged.
Inhale!
Exhale!
With his breathing, it seemed as if a small storm had broken out within the cultivation room.
Whistling winds formed visible air currents.
Lu Yuan's pores opened wide.
His flesh and bones trembled in a certain rhythm, squeezing out countless impurities and black blood.
Although he had previously grasped several essences and was called a young grand master, his age was too tender and his bones had not fully developed.
All this time, Lu Yuan had suppressed his empire, not wanting to leave any hidden dangers.
Now the time was ripe.
Today.
This was the day he would break into the Grandmaster realm!
One minute...
Ten minutes...
Half an hour...
With the help of the abundant medicinal power.
Lu Yuan's strength skyrocketed, reaching a critical point in no time.
"Boom!"
An invisible barrier seemed to shatter.
A wave of invisible energy, centred on Lu Yuan, roared outwards.
All the chairs and tables were instantly lifted and torn apart by the invisible energy.
The entire cultivation room was in ruins, as if a storm had just torn through.
Internal power transformed into external energy!
This also meant.
Lu Yuan had officially stepped into the realm of Grandmasters!
Within his Dantian.
The condensed inner energy now roared through his limbs and bones like a raging river or sea.
Both in quality and quantity.
He was dozens of times stronger than before!
Furthermore.
When a martial artist becomes a Grandmaster, his inner strength undergoes a qualitative change.
This is what many martial arts grandmasters often mention.
Inner strength turned into energy!
Simply put.
Energy is a more advanced form of power than internal strength.
Inner strength is just petrol, while energy is rocket fuel.
The difference between the two cannot be bridged by quantity alone.
Most importantly.
Energy is both offensive and defensive and can be projected outwards!
For many martial artists with inner strength, a high-calibre sniper rifle can hurt them.
But for a martial arts grandmaster, they can withstand many small thermal weapon attacks simply by projecting their energy.
Martial Grandmasters are also faster, have sharper senses, and stronger recovery abilities.
Compared to martial artists with internal power.
This is an all-round qualitative change!
Lu Yuan clenched his fists and felt the vast, ocean-like power surging within him.
At this moment, he even felt that he could break through a mountain!
Of course.
This was just an illusion caused by the surge of power.
However, with Lu Yuan's current power.
It would be easy to punch through a car.
[Heaven-defying Fate: At the age of five, you became a grandmaster and reset the world's cultivation progress. From now on, you will no longer fear destiny, because it is in your hands!]
[Mainline completion: 30%!]
[Earned 30,000 simulation points!]
[Simulation Rating upgraded to A!]
[Heaven Rewards Diligence duration increased to eight hours!]
[C-Level Temporary Talent Card [Eureka Moment] obtained]
[Eureka Moment] When you come across a difficult problem, use this talent and you may have a chance to get the answer.
(Note: Using this talent consumes a lot of energy, so use it sparingly.)
Seeing this talent, Lu Yuan exclaimed in excitement.
If you understand the Way in the morning, you can die without regret by dusk.
For a martial artist or scientist, the hardest thing is sudden enlightenment.
Some centuries-old problems have puzzled countless scientists for hundreds of years.
But with the [Eureka Moment], whenever Lu Yuan encounters a difficulty, there's hope for a solution!
It's no exaggeration to say.
In some ways, the talent of [Serendipity] is even more valuable than an A-level talent!
After his power breakthrough.
Lu Yuan did not come out of seclusion immediately, but spent three days consolidating his realm.
Only when he had fully mastered his new power did he end his retreat.
When Lu's father heard the news of Lu Yuan's breakthrough.
He burst into tears of joy and stood there laughing foolishly for a long time.
The Lu family had practised martial arts for generations.
The strongest of their ancestors had only achieved minor successes in internal strength.
But Lu Yuan had become a grandmaster at the age of five.
This was indeed the blessing of their ancestors.
Even the ancestral tombs seemed to be smoking with happiness!
Lu's father in his joy.
After consulting with Lu Yuan, he decided to hold a Grandmaster's Banquet.
According to tradition.
Every newly appointed Grandmaster holds a banquet and invites various martial arts elite.
It would attract nationwide attention and even be broadcast live on official television channels!
This was not only to declare their achievements and make a name for themselves.
But also to show their strength to all.
During the Grandmaster Banquet.
Enemies or doubters would challenge the Grandmaster.
Only by defeating all the challengers could they gain recognition.
Otherwise, even if they became a grandmaster, they would be the laughing stock of the martial world!
Therefore.
Even after becoming a grandmaster, many warriors would spend two to three years consolidating their power.
Only when they were absolutely sure would they accept external challenges.
Lu Yuan, who had just become a grandmaster, immediately hosted a banquet.
He was either too arrogant.
Or overconfident in his strength!
But Lu Yuan didn't mind.
Before he became a Grandmaster.
He could already project his inner power and turn wind into blades.
Now that he had officially entered the Grandmaster's realm.
In the entire martial world, few could match him!
As the news of the Grandmaster Banquet spread.
The martial world was abuzz.
Some were sceptical, some were jealous, and some were incredulous.
For in the entire martial world.
There hadn't been a new Grandmaster for twenty years.
Lu Yuan's meteoric rise filled the void.
From all corners of the country, countless forces and martial artists flocked to the capital, making it overcrowded.
Even many grandmasters who had been in seclusion for years showed up, eager to see Lu Yuan.
It was a great event for the entire martial world!
Major ancient martial sects had sent representatives.
Even the grand old master of the Wudang sect travelled miles to attend the banquet in person.
"Junior Lu Yuan, greet the old Grandmaster!"
In the presence of such a towering figure.
Lu Yuan didn't dare to be careless and bowed respectfully.
"Seeing is believing. Young friend Lu does indeed have incomparable talent."
The old grandmaster praised.
Especially when he sensed Lu Yuan's overwhelming inner strength, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Lu Yuan had been able to project his inner strength even before he became a grandmaster.
Now that he had it, even Zhang Huai'an might not be a match for Lu Yuan!
At the Grandmaster Banquet.
Everyone was enjoying themselves.
Many TV reporters were broadcasting the whole event live.
During the banquet.
Several doubters tried to challenge Lu Yuan.
But he defeated them all easily.
Later.
The old grandmaster of Wudang, eager for a contest, proposed a sparring match with Lu Yuan.
The two fought dozens of rounds, seemingly evenly matched.
But Zhang Huai'an knew that Lu Yuan was holding back, not using his full strength.
The old grandmaster, feeling inferior, publicly conceded defeat.
To see this on live television.
Lu Yuan's fame soared.
No one dared to question his strength!
Many veteran martial artists agreed.
Lu Yuan was undoubtedly the youngest and brightest grandmaster in the martial world in a hundred years!
