Since his three-strike victory over Mad Blade Wang Ming had begun, the fireworks had been bursting non-stop.
At that time, Chu Xisheng had disliked this visual effect as it could affect his vision, and he had turned it off immediately.
However, after embarking on the ship, Chu Xisheng turned the visual effect back on.
Watching the full screen of fireworks and seeing the number ‘1832101’ in the Martial Arts column, he felt exceedingly satisfied and enormously comforted, a deep sense of achievement washing over him.
At this moment, the numbers in the Martial Arts column continued to climb rapidly, nearly every minute it would jump by three to five hundred points.
The ‘Shenxiu’s Ten Outstanding Sabers’ ranked by the Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual had indeed made many aware of Chu Xisheng.
Yet in the entire region of Heluo, perhaps even across all thirty-eight states, those who had seen this issue of the Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual might not even total twenty-five million.
Among them, those interested in ‘Shenxiu’s Ten Outstanding Sabers’ wouldn’t exceed one-tenth.
In these two and a half million people, those who believed Chu Xisheng had the strength to be selected as one of the ‘Shenxiu Ten Masters’, didn’t even amount to thirty percent.
However, after today’s three challenge matches, the situation had drastically changed.
As long as the news spread, people would no longer question the Tianji Pavilion’s ranking.
A person who overwhelmingly surpassed all the young swordsmen in the Capital was naturally qualified to be listed among the ‘Shenxiu Ten Masters’.
This would surely bring him a large amount of Martial Arts Points.
Chu Xisheng even estimated that the benefits from this time would not be less than three million points, making the profits from ‘Shenxiu’s Ten Outstanding Sabers’ double directly.
In fact, what he was looking forward to more was next month’s ‘Debating Martial Arts’.
After this battle, if Debating Martial Arts Tower still didn’t list his name on the ‘Qingyun General List’, it would be unacceptable.
‘Debating Martial Arts’, although much weaker in credibility compared to the Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual, had a far higher reader base.
Like in East State, the hunters from West Mountain had absolutely no access to the Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual.
On the other hand, they frequently accessed ‘Debating Martial Arts’.
When they had spare money, they would buy a second-hand or even third-hand ‘Debating Martial Arts’ and then circulate it in the village.
So, this was indeed the majority, truly covering the vast majority of the population.
Chu Xisheng mused about the future for quite a while before he stopped daydreaming and started focusing on the present.
He once again turned off the fireworks effect and continued to use Martial Arts Points to refresh the treasury.
He now used five hundred Martial Arts Points every day to refresh the items in the treasury, to see if he could find something he desired.
Before long, a look of joy emerged on Chu Xisheng’s face again.
Among the seventeen items in the treasury, there was noticeably an icon for Divine Sorrow (Sixth Rank).
Divine Sorrow Sixth Stage—needed 312,500 Martial Arts Points to exchange, could enhance six percent Divine Sense Power, six percent True Essence, double the endurance, fifty percent strength, fifty percent agility, fifty percent speed, fifty percent explosive power, fifty percent resistance, generating an intermediate amount of Thunder Power internally;
Note: When encountering a sorcerer or enemies stronger than oneself, it can activate ‘God’s Sorrow’, which improves strength, speed, agility, explosive power, resistance by three times on the original basis, and enhances all Martial Intent by Second Level, provides one’s True Yuan with high-level Gang-breaking Effect, supreme level Law-breaking Effect, capable of breaking Gang Qi, disrupting and destructing all Magic in the world.
Chu Xisheng’s eyebrows raised, the enhancement from the sixth stage of Divine Sorrow was roughly the same as the fifth stage.
The generated Thunder Power had turned into ‘intermediate’ amount.
The effects of ‘God’s Sorrow’ had substantially increased.
The enhancement to physical qualities had now tripled!
The Gang-breaking Effect had become high-level, and the Law-breaking Effect had upgraded to a supreme level.
What was surprising was that the strengthening of Martial Intent by ‘God’s Sorrow’ had actually increased by Two Levels.
That is, if Chu Xisheng encountered an opponent stronger than himself, his ‘Vengeful Blade Intent’ could directly increase to Ten Layers, while ‘Wind and Thunder Martial Intent’ could increase to Eight Layers.
Unfortunately, this was not a regular strength.
The triggering conditions for ‘God’s Sorrow’ were either the enemy’s strength surpassing one’s own or encountering a sorcerer.
Today, in his fights with Mad Blade Wang Ming, Divine Swallow Saber Li Xiu, and Si Huangquan, he hadn’t triggered ‘God’s Sorrow’.
Although their cultivation surpassed Chu Xisheng, their combat strength was much less.
Chu Xisheng thought about the words ‘all Martial Intent strengthened by Two Levels’ and fell into deep contemplation.
It seemed that every time Bloodline Talent increased by three levels, a significant change would occur.
This was the case for Pure Yang, Supreme Divine Communication, and similarly for Time Instant Shadow Body, Hand of Wind and Lightning Control.
Chu Xisheng then exchanged Divine Sorrow (Sixth Rank) without hesitation.
Then, enduring intense itchiness and pain in his body, he also exchanged a ‘Near Ink Taint Divine Power Card’ from the treasury.
Just at this moment, Ji Qianqian walked over.
Her expression was stern, “Hall Master!
Two speedboats are accelerating behind us, they might make their move soon, I plan to go ashore first.”
As Ji Qianqian spoke, her entire head throbbed in pain.
What troubled her was how she could protect Chu Xisheng’s life without revealing her strength.
In fact, this battle was not necessary at all.
If only Chu Xisheng was willing to abandon this boat and travel over land in hiding, she could easily use the resources of the Police Pool of Blood to resolve Chu Xisheng’s crisis.
The problem was, the guy in front of her preferred money over life, and to save merely five hundred taels of Demon Silver, he refused to abandon the ship and leave.
