At this point, he sighed.
“The Qi Blood Three Transformations, to put it plainly, is just a process of accumulation.
As long as one’s age is not too old and their Qi and Blood Power hasn’t declined, they can generate Qi and Blood Power with enough time and effort; it’s only a matter of time.
But Martial Artists are different; this is a Realm that cannot be achieved simply by spending time honing oneself.”
Hu Qi’s heart stirred, and a look of appropriate curiosity appeared on his face.
“If you don’t mind, could you tell me what kind of Realm this Martial Artist Realm is?”
Perhaps feeling that sitting there was quite boring, Xie Fei did not refuse when he heard this. He pushed up his glasses.
“There’s nothing that can’t be said about it.
However, I don’t know much. Such existences are not something we can come into contact with.
Most of it is just hearsay, so you can just listen to these things.”
At this point, he took a deep breath, and his tone became serious.
“If a Martial Artist in the Qi Blood Realm has only broken through the limits of the human body, then a Martial Artist at that level can already be considered a true monster and non-human.”
As he spoke, Hu Qi gained a clearer understanding of the Martial Artist Realm.
A Martial Artist is a powerful existence that has opened the Essence Origin Divine Treasure and completed a leap and transformation in their life level.
As for how exactly it is opened, or what the Divine Treasury truly is, Xie Fei did not know.
He only knew that a Martial Artist at that level was a complete monster.
In terms of speed alone, they could rival a speeding car, and their strength could shatter a two or three-story high rock with a single punch.
More importantly, a Martial Artist in this Realm undergoes some unknown change.
Their Lifespan far exceeds that of ordinary people. As for exactly how long they can live, Xie Fei said he didn’t know, but it was definitely far beyond ordinary people.
Moreover, to achieve a Breakthrough, the requirements for Qi and Blood Power are extremely high, making it as difficult as ascending to heaven.
The Snake Heart Gate was founded over a hundred years ago.
Currently, he only knew of eleven powerful individuals at the Martial Artist level, which included several of the Sect Leader’s Personal Disciples.
“To be able to achieve a Breakthrough to the Martial Artist Realm is my goal in this life.”
Xie Fei’s words were filled with a longing for the Martial Artist level.
Hu Qi couldn't help but fall silent.
After the other party’s explanation, he had a deeper understanding of the Martial Artist Realm.
Considering only the recruits in this round, there were at least three or four hundred people.
Recruiting once a year, over a hundred years, the total number of recruits would be at least sixty or seventy thousand.
It must be known that these people were all physically strong and powerful combat masters, all elites among elites.
Even so, after the first round of screening, only eleven people emerged from such a large number. This probability was simply too small.
If this recruitment standard were lowered to the level of ordinary people, the probability of becoming a Martial Artist would not be an exaggeration to describe as one in a hundred thousand.
Subsequently, Hu Qi asked some more questions about how a Martial Artist achieves a Breakthrough, but Xie Fei was not clear.
He only said that after the Qi Blood Three Transformations reached Perfection, if one wanted to achieve a Breakthrough, they would need to report their situation.
After receiving permission from the Sect Leader, the true Secret Martial Arts Legacy of the Snake Heart Gate would be passed down to help them achieve a Breakthrough.
“So, what happens if the Breakthrough fails?”
Hu Qi’s eyes flickered slightly as he asked this most crucial question.
“If it fails, they will die. If the situation is a little better, they will become a cripple.”
Xie Fei’s tone became somewhat heavy as he spoke.
Hu Qi frowned, not expecting the consequences to be so severe.
At the same time, he also understood why there were only eleven people.
The others either didn’t dare to attempt a Breakthrough or failed during the Breakthrough.
Just then.
“Something’s happening!”
Xie Fei suddenly said, pointing to a corner of the monitor.
That camera was precisely the one Hu Qi had previously instructed to observe closely.
He saw.
On the screen, two black figures suddenly flashed by.
Under the dim night sky.
The two figures moved extremely fast.
They leaped directly over the two-meter-high fence, landing lightly on the ground without making any sound, and headed straight towards the graveyard.
“A Ling, my grandpa said that two new corpses were buried today, both accidental deaths, without illness or disaster. This time, we’re in for a treat.”
With the help of the bright moonlight scattered from the sky, it was vaguely visible that the two figures were a man and a woman.
The one who spoke was the man in front.
“No matter how healthy, they’re still corpses. Chen Fan, when are we going to eat something alive? How about eating your grandpa? He’s a bit old, but still better than a corpse.”
The woman beside him complained.
The woman’s voice was pleasant, similar to a loli-like squeaky voice.
However, the content of her words was chilling to hear.
“A Ling, what are you saying? He’s the grandpa who raised me.”
Chen Fan stopped running and turned to look at the woman.
His face was pale, not just his face, but his skin was also very pale, lacking much color, as if he hadn’t seen sunlight for a long time.
At this moment, his gaze was fixed on the woman opposite him.
A red light seemed to flicker in his eyes.
The woman opposite had heavy smoky eye makeup and wore pigtails, an outfit that should have been cute.
However, combined with her previous words.
Those pigtails instead looked like a demon’s tentacles, swaying gently in the night wind.
Sensing the man’s emotions, the woman’s greedy expression receded.
The corners of her lips curved upward, forming a charming smile.
“I was just joking, don’t be so nervous.”
At this point, she lowered her head and touched her stomach, putting on a pitiful expression.
“But I really don’t want to eat those rotten corpses; my stomach feels awful after eating them.”
Seeing the woman’s appearance.
The red light in Chen Fan’s eyes flickered twice, then slowly dimmed, returning to normal.
“Then what do you want? You know that even though we have gained powerful strength, if we don’t eat blood for a long time, our bodies will become weak.”
The woman named A Ling smiled upon hearing this, her stark white teeth faintly visible in the darkness.
“I heard Grandpa say that two new caretakers arrived today. I want…”
“No, once someone dies, things won’t be simple. Didn’t we agree not to attack living people and only eat corpses?”
Chen Fan directly waved his hand, interrupting the woman.
“But eating corpses doesn’t benefit us much at all. Only by eating living people can we increase our strength.”
At this point, the woman shook the man’s arm.
“I know you’re the best. Anyway, we’re preparing to leave Anshan City, so why can’t we have a good meal before we go?”
Looking at the woman’s pitiful expression.
Chen Fan’s expression was somewhat hesitant and wavering.
Just as he was about to say something.
He suddenly looked up to the side.
He saw two figures slowly emerge from the darkness.
The two of them were wearing gray and white work uniforms.
Their identities were self-evident.
“Truly, there’s a path to Heaven you don’t take, but you come knocking on the gates of Hell! Brother Fan, what are you waiting for? Let’s eat these two!”
A Ling’s eyes lit up slightly, her gaze falling on Hu Qi and Xie Fei, as if she had seen something delicious, and she couldn’t help but stick out her tongue and lick her scarlet lips.
As soon as her voice fell.
She moved, charging directly towards Hu Qi.
After all.
From his build.
Hu Qi was undoubtedly larger, with a bit more flesh on him.
If she got to choose first, she would definitely pick the bigger one.
