Chapter 2 Star Martial Core, Ancient Inheritance
Zhang Hao was taken aback by Lin Chen's sudden change in expression, and a strange feeling arose in his heart. But then he thought that Lin Chen was just a useless person at the third level of the Body Tempering Realm. Even if he was angry, what could he do to him?
Immediately, Zhang Hao's smile deepened, filled with disdain and mockery. He stepped forward, blocking Lin Chen's path, looking down at him arrogantly: "I won't let you, so what? You think you can lay a hand on me? A piece of trash who isn't even a martial artist dares to yell at me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Hao even deliberately raised his hand and pushed Lin Chen's shoulder, wanting to push him to the ground again and humiliate him severely.
The surrounding classmates watched this scene quietly, with a "let's see what happens" attitude. In their view, Lin Chen could only swallow his anger and let Zhang Hao bully him.
But what they didn't know was that at this moment, Lin Chen's anger and obsession had reached their peak, and his years of forbearance had been completely shattered at this moment.
Just as Zhang Hao's hand was about to touch his shoulder, Lin Chen suddenly raised his head, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and his aura instantly became incredibly sharp.
At that very moment, deep within Lin Chen's dantian, a pale silver light spot that had been silent since his birth, like an ordinary stone embryo, suddenly sensed the extreme emotional fluctuations in his heart and instantly burst forth with an extremely dazzling starlight!
boom--!
A vast, ancient, and boundless mysterious power, seemingly from the primordial era and surpassing all spiritual energy of heaven and earth, instantly exploded from his dantian, sweeping through Lin Chen's limbs and bones with overwhelming force, cleansing his meridians!
This is Lin Chen's cheat code—the Ancient Star Martial Core!
At this moment, the origins of the Star Martial Core transformed into complete memories, flooding into Lin Chen's mind.
A thousand years ago, when the spiritual energy tide first appeared, the extraterrestrial evil race invaded Blue Water Star, threatening the human race with extinction. At that time, a peerless powerhouse emerged among the human race. With his unparalleled martial arts talent, he swept away ferocious beasts, suppressed the evil race, condensed the Martial Emperor Dao Fruit, and became the first Star Martial Emperor of the human race, leading the human race to defend their last remaining place of survival.
However, the extraterrestrial evil race possessed overwhelming power. To protect humanity, the Great Emperor fought a desperate battle against the evil race's supreme ruler, ultimately perishing together with his weakened state. Before his fall, the Great Emperor exhausted his life's cultivation and martial arts essence to condense a Star Martial Core, sealing his entire martial arts legacy, ancient techniques, and the true essence of martial arts within it, leaving it to future generations. He hoped that one day, someone would inherit the core, revive humanity's martial arts, and protect the peace of Blue Water Star.
Over the course of a thousand years, the Star Martial Core was scattered among mortals. After many twists and turns, at the moment Lin Chen was born, it sensed the pure martial arts foundation within him and automatically took up residence in his dantian. It remained dormant for sixteen years, waiting for an opportunity to awaken in a desperate situation!
At this moment, Lin Chen's extreme obsession and indomitable will to protect his family became the key to awaken the core of the Star Martial Artifact, allowing this ancient treasure, which had been dormant for thousands of years, to be fully awakened!
Under the influence of the core power of the Star Martial Arts, the meridians in Lin Chen's body that were originally sluggish and blocked were instantly opened up and became incredibly smooth; his bones and muscles made a slight cracking sound, and his physical body was rapidly strengthened; in his mind, the ordinary-grade "Basic Body Forging Technique" issued by the school collapsed, reorganized, and optimized instantly under the deduction of the core power, and a complete ancient technique slowly emerged.
Ancient Star Martial Body Forging Technique!
This is a basic cultivation technique belonging to the ancient Star Martial lineage. It belongs to the supreme ancient grade, far surpassing all ordinary, middle, high, and top-grade cultivation techniques in the world. It is a body-forging technique created by the Star Martial Emperor, consisting of nine forms: Star Power Body Forging, Blood and Qi Surge, Meridian Unblocking and Bone Refining, Myriad Manifestations Fist, Star Chasing Step, Qi Protection, Earth Vein Resonance, Starry Sky Sensing, and Martial Foundation Perfection.
Each move contains the supreme martial arts essence. It can not only quickly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and transform it into one's own blood and cultivation, making the cultivation speed hundreds or thousands of times faster than ordinary techniques, but also perfectly temper the physical body, open up all the meridians in the body, lay an unparalleled foundation for subsequent realm advancement, and even automatically repair hidden injuries to the physical body and break through realm barriers!
At the same time, the Star Martial Core was continuously drawing in the free spiritual energy between heaven and earth, frantically absorbing it into Lin Chen's body. Following the route of the "Ancient Star Martial Body Forging Technique," it was rapidly circulated and transformed into incomparably powerful blood and qi.
Lin Chen's cultivation level began to soar terrifyingly, much to the astonishment of everyone present!
Body Tempering Realm, Level Three!
Body Tempering Realm, Level Four!
Body Tempering Realm, Level 5!
Body Tempering Realm, Level Six!
Seventh level of Body Tempering Realm!
In just a few breaths, Lin Chen broke through four levels from the third level of the Body Tempering Realm, soaring all the way to the seventh level of the Body Tempering Realm, reaching the same level as Zhang Hao in front of him!
Moreover, his blood and qi were far more abundant and pure than Zhang Hao's at the same level. Starlight flowed around his body, and a powerful aura far exceeding the seventh level of the Body Tempering Realm swept across the entire martial arts testing ground with Lin Chen as the center!
The once noisy playground instantly became deathly silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
All the mocking laughter and chatter came to an abrupt halt.
Zhang Hao's arrogance and haughtiness froze instantly, replaced by utter terror and disbelief. His eyes widened as he stared intently at Lin Chen before him, his steps faltering uncontrollably as he staggered backward, his face drained of color. He cried out in shock, "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! How could a piece of trash like you suddenly break through, and so quickly reach the seventh level of the Body Tempering Realm?!"
He couldn't believe that the poor boy he had always bullied and who never dared to raise his head could suddenly unleash such a powerful aura. His calm yet sharp martial arts aura even made him, a martial artist of the same realm, feel a deep sense of pressure!
The students around him were all stunned. They stared wide-eyed at Lin Chen, their faces filled with disbelief, as if they had witnessed the most incredible thing.
"Am I seeing things? Lin Chen... he broke through? And by such a large margin at once?"
"How could this be? Wasn't he always a useless piece of trash at the third level of the Body Tempering Realm? This rate of improvement is terrifying!"
"His aura is incredibly strong; even Young Master Zhang, who is at the seventh level of the Body Tempering Realm, seems inferior to him!"
Amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes. His originally bloodshot eyes were now clear and sharp, like a divine sword drawn from its sheath, its edge fully revealed.
He could clearly feel an unprecedented surge of powerful energy within his body, his entire being brimming with inexhaustible strength, his meridians flowing freely, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth continuously flowing into his body. The "Ancient Star Martial Body Forging Technique" was automatically operating within him, and every second, his strength was steadily increasing.
This is not an illusion; he has truly awakened the ancient Star Martial inheritance and possesses the power to defy fate!
Looking down at his hands and feeling the power within him that allowed him to control everything, a resolute glint flashed in Lin Chen's eyes.
In the past, he had no power or resources, so he could only swallow his anger and let others bully him. He couldn't even protect his own family.
But from now on, everything will be different!
He possesses an ancient star martial arts core and an ancient cultivation technique that is unique in the world. He is no longer a poor, useless person who can be trampled on by others. He will rely on his own strength to save his father, protect his family, shatter the injustice in this world, and reach the pinnacle of martial arts!
Lin Chen slowly raised his head, his gaze calmly meeting Zhang Hao's terrified expression. There was no rage, no roar, but that calm gaze instilled in Zhang Hao an unprecedented fear.
"I'll say it one last time, get out of the way."
A simple sentence, yet it carries an undeniable power.
Zhang Hao trembled, intimidated by Lin Chen's aura. He instinctively wanted to retreat, but then he thought, "I'm also at the seventh level of Body Tempering Realm, and I have a mid-grade cultivation technique. How can I be afraid of a wild brat who has suddenly broken through?" Immediately, he gritted his teeth, suppressing the fear in his heart, and shouted sharply, "So what if you've broken through to the seventh level of Body Tempering Realm? I cultivate the mid-grade 'Fierce Blood Body Tempering Technique.' You're no match for me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Hao suddenly activated his internal energy and blood, activated the Fierce Blood Body Forging Technique, and unleashed the Fierce Blood Fist from the technique, smashing it fiercely towards Lin Chen. The fist wind howled, carrying a fierce aura, wanting to defeat Lin Chen in one move and save his face.
In his view, even if Lin Chen suddenly broke through, it was just a fluke. He was still practicing a mortal-grade technique, which was no match for his mid-grade technique moves.
The surrounding classmates held their breath, staring intently at the scene, eager to see who would win this sudden duel.
Facing Zhang Hao's punch, Lin Chen remained calm and showed no sign of panic.
With a slight movement of his feet, he naturally unleashed the Star Chasing Step from the Ancient Star Martial Body Forging Technique. His figure moved like a ghost, easily dodging Zhang Hao's Fierce Blood Fist. His speed was so fast that Zhang Hao missed his target, lost his balance, and almost fell to the ground.
"How is this possible? How can you be so fast!" Zhang Hao exclaimed in shock.
Before he could react, Lin Chen raised his hand and unleashed the Myriad Manifestations Fist in a simple and direct manner. Without any fancy moves, it contained an incomparably powerful star energy and blood, and he punched towards Zhang Hao.
This punch, seemingly ordinary, contained the supreme power of an ancient technique, far surpassing Zhang Hao's Blood Fist!
Bang!
A dull, loud thud was heard.
Before Zhang Hao could even react, he was struck hard in the chest by a punch. He was sent flying backward as if hit by a high-speed tank, crashing heavily to the ground. His chest was in excruciating pain, his blood was churning, and he could not get up. His face was filled with pain and fear.
With just one punch, Zhang Hao, who was at the seventh level of the Body Tempering Realm, was completely defeated by Lin Chen!
The entire arena fell silent. Everyone stared in disbelief at the tall, handsome young man in the center of the arena, their faces filled with shock, unable to utter a single word.
Lin Chen looked down at Zhang Hao, who was lying on the ground, his eyes cold and his tone calm but full of authority: "I come from a poor family, I have no top resources, no powerful background, but I have my own pride and people I want to protect."
"You can look down on me, but you can't insult my family."
"I used to be patient because I didn't want to cause trouble, not because I was weak. From now on, if anyone dares to bully me, insult me, or belittle my family, I will repay them a hundredfold!"
After saying that, Lin Chen didn't look at Zhang Hao again, turned around and walked straight out of the playground.
His back was tall and firm, the sunlight shining on him, gilding him with a golden halo, like a young war god about to rise, embarking on his own heaven-defying martial arts path with an indomitable spirit.
He now has only one thought: to earn money as soon as possible, buy the Qi and Blood Pill, rush back to the hospital, and save his father!
